    [1] "Book of Rites. Qu Lishang" Confucianism

    ? Serve and drink with the elders, when the wine enters, it will start.

    Worship at the place of honor,

    The elders resign, the younger drink instead of the table,

    The elders dare not drink, while the young dare not drink.

    The elders bestow it, the young and the humble dare not resign.

    Madam Yu, put the banquet in the living room, and ordered Ruyan to invite Zhe Du. In fact, it didn't take long, but Madam Yu felt that it was so long, and she began to get nervous, worried that Wan Zhe Du would see through her carefully planned remarriage.  Conspiracy, he unconsciously said to himself: "Ruyan went to invite Wansheng, why hasn't he come yet? Then girl, don't miss out!"

    While Mrs. Yu was talking about it, Ruyan came back and told, "Old Madam, Mr. Wan told Ruyan to take a step first, and he will arrive later."

    Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yu felt relieved, and said, "Ruyan, wait outside the hall for Mr. Xiang!"

    Ru Yan said, "Yes!"

    After a while, Zhe Du arrived, and Ruyan let him into the hall.

    When Zhe Du saw Mrs. Yu, he stepped forward to salute and said, "Master's wife is here, student Wansheng pays homage to teacher's wife!"

    Madam Yu looked up and was stunned. She felt that Zhe Du was very different than before, probably because "people need clothes, but Buddha needs gold clothes".  I saw that he was handsome, gentle, elegant, unrestrained and elegant, dignified, suave and unconventional. He was indeed a good man with outstanding talents and extraordinary appearance. It would be good for his nephew to be half of him. It is indeed a match for his daughter  A pair of wall people.  But it is a pity that the family is not equal, so we have to give up.

    Seeing Zhe Du salute to her, Madam Yu hurriedly said: "Wan Sheng Shao Li! If it weren't for your rescue the day before yesterday, how could we be today? You saved our Yu family's life. We have a special drink today, please  Come to drink a glass of wine, it is not a repayment, please don't be too short!"

    "Teacher's wife is too polite! I'll go and meet my teacher first."

    "Your teacher, just had lunch and has already taken a nap."

    "Then the students will not bother."

    "Wansheng, please sit down, the teacher's wife will chat with you."

    "Students standing at the table, even if they feel that it is impolite, how dare they sit with the teacher's wife?"

    "Sheng'er, you don't have to be polite. As the saying goes, 'Being respectful is worse than obeying orders', but it's okay to sit!".

    Hearing Mrs. Yu calling herself "Sheng'er", Zhe Du was overjoyed: Why did you treat me as half a son before you got married?  He said, "In that case, the student thanked you for your seat!"

    "Ruyan, bring the wine, Sheng'er, please drink up this cup!"

    Zhe Du stood up respectfully and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the student. Although the student is not good at drinking, there is a saying in "Book of Rites" [1], 'Give it to the elders, but the humble dare not quit it.  .' Teacher's wife is the elder of the students, and the students dare not refuse, and do their best to obey." After finishing speaking, he picked up the white jade wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

    After drinking the wine, I was a little puzzled, how could I get married today, and Ruyan said that there was a junior sister at the banquet, why I have been here for a long time, but I still can't see her?

    This "need to discuss important matters", could it be something else, not getting married?

    But looking at the arrangement in the inner hall, it was similar to what Ruyan said, with a few lamps lit up and some colorful decorations. Although it was not quite like the ostentation of a rich family holding a wedding, at least it had the atmosphere of a wedding.

    Do you want to discuss some etiquette before getting married, ask about the name Nacai, six rituals and three letters, but I am among the guests, where do I have so much money?  No, I have. A few days ago, didn’t the imperial court reward me with two thousand taels of silver?  enough.

    What the hell is it?

    Oh, I see, on the wedding day, the bride is the last to appear, maybe the younger sister is dressing up in the boudoir.

    Zhe Du kept thinking of the good in his heart, but he didn't know that the good things were about to go to waste.

    [2] "Persuading oneself to drink under the flowers" by Bai Juyi. Poem

    The wine cup must be filled to the brim,

    The flowers and branches fall one after another at a glance;

    Mo Yan is young at thirty,

    A centenarian has three points and one point.

    Madam Yu is also thinking at this time, since you don't know how to drink, let me drink you another glass, so that you can get drunk, and things will be easy.  So he said: "Sheng'er, little girl Pan'er, I am very grateful to you for saving your life. Please have another drink to show your gratitude." After finishing speaking, he said to Ruyan, "Ruyan, pour wine for sir!"

    Ruyan was ordered to fill Zhe Du's cup again, but deliberately did not fill Zhe Du's.

    Mrs. Yu said: "Ruyan, it is also said that 'the wine cup must be full when you drink it, and the flowers and branches will fall when you look at it'. Why don't you fill it up for Mr. Wan?"

    Zhe Du said: "The student is young and not good at drinking."

      Madam Yu said: "'Mo Yan is a young man at thirty, and one-third of a hundred years old.' Sheng'er, you are not young anymore, you are an adult, it's okay, let's drink!"

    Zhe Du picked up the wine glass and said: "Thank you for your love, teacher and wife, and the student welcomes you!" After finishing speaking, he drank it down again.

    In fact, Wan Zhedu is a Mongolian, and he is quite good at drinking. The reason why he said "he is not good at drinking alcohol" is that he is going to marry his younger sister today.  It is to make a good impression on the mother-in-law and not to regard the son-in-law as an alcoholic.

    After Zhe Du drank two glasses of wine, Madam Yu thought to herself, the wine has persuaded two glasses, and Zhe Du's head is probably spinning.  So she ordered Ruyan, "Ruyan, go and call the lady out, and salute Sheng'er!"

    Madam Yu used the word "salute" after careful consideration: if she was asked to say "wedding ceremony", she would not dare to say it; but only "salute" is the most appropriate, you can also say "salute ceremony"  , It's okay to say a big gift, and it's also right to say a wedding.

    Xiao Ruyan is a very clever person, but this time she was also deceived by the old woman.

    Hearing that Mrs. Yu ordered her to ask the young lady to come out to salute, I was so happy. I didn't have time to appreciate the mystery of the word "salute", thinking that "salting" didn't mean holding a wedding.

    Therefore, he immediately agreed: "Yes! Ruyan, let's go!" After finishing speaking, he first walked out of the inner hall gracefully, and once he reached a place where Madam Yu could not see, he flew like flying to the makeup building.

    [1] "Book of Rites", also known as "Xiao Dai Li Ji" and "Xiao Dai Ji", was written in the Han Dynasty and compiled by Dai Sheng, a scholar of rites in the Western Han Dynasty.  The chapters may be the works of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius and their students, and also include other classics of the pre-Qin period.

    "Book of Rites" is rigorous in rules and regulations, vivid in appearance, tactful in diction, echoing back and forth, and orderly and changeable in language.
