Chapter 104 Welcome Ceremony

Xiang Chong and Yang Hu, in this way, had a "tactical" unified action for the first time: at the main entrance of Xiang Mansion, they finally met "informally".

"He was still really tall!"

Xiang Chong's first impression of Yang Hu was a "tall and mighty" feeling. "It is said that this man looks very similar to Confucius, but his virtue and what he did are far less than Confucius. Now it seems that one of the rumors is not bad. He is indeed a big man. If he hadn't been a bit blind and arrogant, he would be considered a young man who could see it. As for his virtue, he had to look at it before he knew it."

"It's just such a path, being blown to the sky by someone. I don't think it's a yellow-mouthed child! However, today I don't want to see a boy, but I just want to take the opportunity to leave it to the mansion. And today I can see Ji Sun Su Zhengqing, who is highly powerful and arrogant in Lu, is the right thing to say first!"

Yang Hu was standing tall, just slanting his eyes, and glanced at Xiang Chong with contempt. A very "disdainful" airflow spewed out of his nostrils. He turned his eyes and looked into the distance where the greeting queue was swaying, paying attention to his "focus figure", which was about to appear at the farthest point of the sightline.

How could Xiang Chong not see this view? However, he didn't mind at all. After all, in his identity and vision of "Xinwu", this "Yanghu" is just a not-so-good article on the "entry". Since everything is in control, why bother to hurry up and put in a situation where "time, figure, age, and knowledge" is extremely asymmetric, how can you trouble making a situation of "restriving dignity"?

High has the advantages of being tall, and short has the advantages of being short.

Just as everyone raised their necks and looked into the distance, when the flag tips of the flag bearers of the pioneer guards would emerge on the horizon at the end of their sight, Xiang Chong saw a group of ants on the ground, trembling up and down by the slight shock of the ground. A group of worker ants were creeping out of the nest and frantically accelerated to escape.

He knew that the horse team was about to arrive.

Xiang Zheng was the main force to welcome guests at the door, and Xiang Chong was the auxiliary.

The two brothers today's shapes are: holding a broom with the head facing up and the handle facing down. Xiang Chong knows that this means that the house has been cleaned inside and out. Welcome!

Now it is the highlight time, and the formal welcome has begun.

So Xiang Chong shook the sleeves of Brother Xiang Zheng, "Sweeping Master", and signaled that he could order the ritual band to start playing the "Welcome Song".

He nodded to Zheng, turned around and waved his long sleeves to the leader of the welcome band standing behind the east side of the steps, and the music started, with a cheerful melody and festive look.

And the "flag tip" that everyone was looking forward to appeared as scheduled just a few seconds after the music sounded.

Guan Ya and six other masters were also on the list. He was quite surprised that the time point of the ritual and music started this time was like it had been rehearsed countless times, and the time point was not bad.

He looked at the two young men of the Xiang family, and was quite proud.

"In this way, the people of Lu should know that the etiquette of our Song State is so perfect!"

Then, he turned his eyes to the tall and eye-catching young man standing on the east side, thinking: "Is Qu not a person from Lu? Can you wear a dress from Song to welcome guests from the country? Moreover, the position where Qu is standing is not in accordance with etiquette. This is the dedicated seat for the host and the guest. Qu is not a member of the host's family. Standing in such a mess is really a mess of the morality and bad etiquette."

Yang Hu didn't know these etiquettes. He had not learned systematically, but just stood casually. He didn't understand at all. There were a lot of people in front of the door, looking messy. In fact, there were many rules here, which were strictly arranged in the detailed arrangement of the welcome gifts of "Zhou Li" and carefully ranked them.

According to the provisions of the Zhou Li, when welcoming guests, the host enters the door and the guest enters the door and the guest enters the door and the guest enters the door and the guest enters the door and the guest enters the hall from the east stairs.

There is also a requirement of "three bows and three give in": those who bow three bows are 90 steps away from each other and bow three times before the order is sent. When they arrive three times, they will be given in the door. Only after the order is given in the door three times, the guest can enter the door. After entering the door, they must give in again. "Everyone who comes in with the guest will give in to the guest."

"Since I'm wearing Song robes, even if I'm a Song dynasty, I won't bother with him today!"

Guanya saw that the carriage was approaching and the music started. When she knew that it was too late to correct the etiquette norms, she sighed secretly, which was a time to "control" her "thighs" this time.

The guards were all the way and returned to Xiang Mansion with great might. The first car was the two adults who had been chatting for a long time.

Doctor Xiang got off the car first, then gave the welcome ceremony again, and invited Ji Sunsu, the chief minister of Lu State.

In front of everyone, there was no etiquette link of bowing and giving in three ways, and it was very formal.

Yang Hu, who came out to see the world, took advantage of all the advantages of height and could see it more clearly than others. Just like the first-class ticket at a concert, it was indeed close enough to shake hands with the "stars" - Naturally, in that era, handshake gifts were not popular. Yang Hu couldn't help but "follow the crowd" under the "general trend" of everyone's respectful bowing ceremony, and made very standard and respectful bowing gestures.

Because of his figure and appearance, he was in the wrong position of the "master" and his upright posture, he indeed successfully attracted the attention of Ruyi, the grandson of Ji Sunsu, who came with his grandfather and a member of the "Appearance Association", with his upright posture.

The two of them touched each other with one glance, and the moment the small spark lit up, Xiang Chong's heart was relieved.

"It's okay, it's okay! Finally, there was no in vain. It seems that the 'first impression' of each other is pretty good!"

Xiang Chong understood their eyes.

I only know that Zhou Li is complicated, and this kind of actual live demonstration is the first time I watched it. Xiang Chong participated in it and also held a small broom as a ritual prop in his hand, which was very interesting.

Especially in the "three bows and three give in" ceremony, the "you push me and give in" again and again. He knew that even though the two of them were in the same car just now, they didn't know how unrestrained they were laughing. Now they have to make those "prescribed actions" in public and cooperate with various "standardized" expressions. This very ritual "pretentious" action made Xiang Chong look at it and wanted to laugh loudly, but he didn't dare, so he had to try hard to bite his lips and hold the "unserious" expression back into his stomach.
