Ji Xuanhe didn't hide from others, and the guards couldn't hide from others.Wang An got the news not long after the guard was established.He left the submitted documents and did not send them out, which was his tacit consent.Ji Xuanhe was also certain of this, so he dared to act so boldly.Ji Xuanhe is not a general, so the defense of the city is beyond his control. Even if the composition of the guard team is complicated, it is not up to him alone, nor can he build it as he wants.Usually arresting criminals is the responsibility of the county government's police officers, and most of the cases of suppressing bandits are still handled by patrol inspectors and soldiers from nearby guards.Forming an escort team without permission is enough to pull him off his horse.

Ji Xuanhe predicted that he would be fine, if something happened, it was just right, he was able to escape.In this situation, being an ordinary citizen has even more room for maneuver.As long as there is no opinion from Xia Xiancheng, he will obey Ji Xuanhe. With the approval of the two top officials of Xilin County, the formation of the guard team has become a matter of course.

After King An withheld the documents for participating in Ji Xuanhe, the officials at the bottom knew what the above meant. No one would be so blank and continue to tangle with a small county magistrate. Some cronies once again affirmed Ji Xuanhe The position in An Wang's heart is not that important, but he must not neglect it.Such a situation is really rare, and it’s okay to be a bit maverick in government affairs. The guard team formed by Ji Xuanhe is already very close to private soldiers in nature, so King An is still silent, and this person can’t move easily. up.

King An didn't have such complicated thoughts. It was his intention that Ji Xuanhe came to Xilin County. Because of Uncle Wang's face, as long as he didn't cause any trouble, he wouldn't do anything.If the 500 guards were all from Ji Xuanhe's forces, then King An would have to invite him over for a cup of tea and ask him carefully. Nowadays, it is just a gathering of many wealthy households and ordinary people, and the guards are not owned by any family. The main purpose is to protect the safety of Xilin County, so the nature is different, and the matter can be wiped out with a little accommodation, and there is no need to move Ji Xuanhe.

For more than three years, Ji Xuanhe's political achievements have been seen by King An. Don't underestimate the small seven-rank magistrate. If all magistrates can be like Ji Xuanhe, over time, Gansu will be more prosperous than before. If there is no shortage of generals, there is a shortage of good parents.

During the war, the guards of Xilin County were much stricter than before. In order to save the number of guards, only the north and south gates were opened, and the people who went through the east and west gates had to detour, and the inspection was very strict, especially for vehicles such as carriages that could hide people. If you don't check it, you won't let it pass, no matter who you are, you can't come in and out without inspection.There is no big mistake in being careful, in extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken.Although this will delay a lot of time, no one will object. Not only Xilin County, but also many other counties have taken similar actions, but they are not as thorough as Xilin County.

In the blink of an eye, it is hot summer. When it is so hot, only morning and evening are suitable for field work. Land reclamation has come to an end. At this time, no more vegetables will be planted, and the best planting period will pass after a while. Most people farm while planting, and plow slowly when the farming season is delayed, and they are not in a hurry.

Xilin County is an arid area, and the first year of Wenchang is just a very unusual year. In the midsummer season, it is the peak time of water use. Water activities are much more civilized, and it is not a human thing to be arrested to open up wasteland, and no one likes it.This year is another year shrouded in the shadow of war. No one wants to cause extra problems. Every year is basically a routine storm of grabbing water. This year is even meaningless.

Now that the border of Gansu has been sealed off, no news can get out. Ji Xuanhe just wanted to inquire about the news of Ji Jiawen's family and Pan's family, but he failed.After probing once, and seeing that it was impossible to do anything, Ji Xuanhe gave up looking for news, and stayed in Xilin County with peace of mind.

Without these relatives, Ji Xuanhe's crowning ceremony can be said to be quite eclipsed.In the year when Ji Xuanhe took office, Shao Yunchen held the crowning ceremony in advance. The guest of honor was Pan Mingjie, and the praisers were also relatives. The ceremony was very complicated and solemn. It would take a long time to follow the rules, and guests were invited. As for the grand ceremony The degree depends on the class of each family and whether the elders value it or not.

Ji Xuanhe was three years younger than Shao Yunchen, and there was too much age difference when he took office as magistrate of Xilin County, so it was held several years in advance, so the coronation ceremony was meaningless.Years later, Wen Zhuocheng and Pan's family had already sent congratulatory gifts for the crowning ceremony, which was unexpected, and it was the same for Ji Xuanhe.

Ji Xuanhe is the highest official in Xilin County, and it is not easy for the lower officials to be the official guests, so Old Master Zhen is the most suitable candidate. Choose one of them.There is no ancestral hall, a single family, and no relatives. In a sense, this crowning ceremony is really simple to a certain extent. The timing is not right, and no one will mind it.Go through the ceremony symbolically, and the crowning ceremony is considered complete.

This day is Ji Xuanhe's auspicious day. He is the champion, and everyone serves him. It is the most important coming-of-age ceremony for a man in his life.After the crown ceremony, it means that you can officially set up a household, honor your parents and grandparents, and raise children.In fact, most men are married before the crown ceremony, and the crown ceremony is just a symbol.Even so, the crowning ceremony is indispensable, and no matter how poor people are, they will hold the ceremony, but the process can't be more streamlined, and the gorgeous crown clothes are omitted, and a random wooden crown can replace it.Ordinary people do not have so much financial resources to do this, and it is already a sign of observance not to forget that crown ceremony is done.

Although Ji's family lost their farms outside of Gansu, Ji Xuanhe had quite a lot of property under his name, and he is the magistrate of Xilin County, so this crowning ceremony was unavoidable.On that day, all the officials and servants in Xilin County, who could get along with Ji Xuanhe, all came.Ji's family has no relatives in Xilin County, and there are no weddings or weddings, and there is nowhere for the people below to give gifts if they want to.There are customary gift-giving rules for officials giving gifts during the New Year's Day. Even if they want to curry favor, they should not be too blatant. Breaking the rules is a small matter, and it is not beautiful to cause resentment.

Consul General Qiu Bo and Jimo assisted in receiving the congratulatory gifts, while Qiu Cheng, Qiu Shuang and Zhu Yi followed Shao Yunchen to entertain the guests.As long as the congratulatory gift is not out of line, Uncle Qiu will accept it. It is very embarrassing not to accept it at this time, and the gift should be returned at the end of the ceremony. After the banquet, when the guests leave the venue, return it in person.

If there is only one gift that is too expensive, it can only be returned in its entirety. After the guest who receives the returned gift asks the reason, he will make up the gift later. If it consists of several pieces, choose the right one and return the rest to guests.These are ready-made rules, and returning gifts when seeing off guests will not be annoying.

As the saying goes, gifts are reciprocal, and gifts are not received in vain. No matter how many gifts Ji Xuanhe received today, he will have to pay back the same amount in the future, or even more.Human relations are a heavy burden for the people of the Jin Dynasty. In order to maintain their superficial glory, some families can eat a pot of gifts just to deal with them. Unfortunately, most people in the Jin Dynasty attach great importance to these etiquettes, even if they are full. It's all difficult, but decent meals are still required to entertain guests. It can be seen how important face is in Jinchao, and there are only a handful of people who can really do it without face.

"Master Chen Er of Cangzhou has a jade crown and a duan inkstone." The person who sang the promise didn't think it, and just passed it after shouting, and Qiu Bo, who received the gift, was in trouble. waves.He handed over the matter to Jimo, while he turned around and went to the second gate.

There are many guests today, and the guests are placed separately in the front yard and the back yard.The backyard mainly entertains married men and women, and everyone else watches the ceremony and eats in the front yard.Uncle Qiu was a male servant, and the farthest he could go was the second gate. After receiving the report from the servants, Qiu Shuang came out to deliver the message for his father himself.Shao Yunchen is a married man, because Ji Xuan and Mrs. Tong Zhen are both busy with crowning ceremony in the hall of the front yard, and cannot greet male guests, Shao Yunchen has to take care of both ends, and he happens to be in the back yard at this time.

"Cangzhou Second Young Master Chen?" Shao Yunchen had never heard of this person who gave the gift, and carefully recalled things related to this person. Cangzhou, also surnamed Chen, isn't King An in Cangzhou?I remember a few years ago, a housekeeper surnamed Chen came to pick up a young master who was kidnapped. I wonder if it was this one?

Duan inkstone is a famous inkstone, and the quality of jade crown jade is also very good. Although there are only two gifts, they are worth a lot.If it were someone else from Xilin County, Ji's family would not be able to accept such a heavy gift. The Second Master Chen from Cangzhou did not come in person, and the people who were sent to give gifts just did not look like ordinary wealthy households could raise them. Yes, people with little power and insufficient influence will not have such a temperament under the servants. It is not so easy to refuse this kind of courtesy, and the people behind it might think that the Ji family is ignorant of current affairs.It's just that the Duan inkstone is down, this jade crown is not easy to deal with.

The crown ceremony is very particular. If there are conditions, the crown worn by the crown wearer must be a jade crown. Usually it is a gift from the immediate elders of the crown wearer. The guests will not easily bring the jade crown with the gift. The master decides.

Shao Yunchen decided to accept the gift first, but the jade crown had to be brought to him before Ji Xuan and the crown ceremony were completed. Whether to wear it or not was up to him to decide.When the crowning ceremony is over, he will go to Ji Xuanhe to discuss how to decide the ceremony.There were not many people sent by Cangzhou Second Young Master Chen, Shao Yunchen arranged for them to sit alone, and one should be careful when dealing with unknown circumstances.

The men's crown ceremony is the same as the women's Ji ceremony, but under the same conditions, it is more complicated and grand.For wealthy families, on the day of the crowning ceremony, most of the time the crowned person cannot move freely, and there are strict rules on how to wear it. The crown dress is even more formal and solemn than the wedding dress. It is very unlucky to make mistakes in the crown ceremony.Ji Xuanhe didn't know how many times he had rehearsed the ceremony of the crowning ceremony, and he was very familiar with it, but in the end all the painstaking efforts that were expended were reflected in these few hours, and there was no sloppy in the slightest.

Both Wen Zhuocheng and Pan Mingjie gave jade crowns. In terms of closeness, Ji Xuanhe should have chosen the one provided by his second uncle. Just as the crown wearing ceremony was about to begin, Ji Xuanhe received the news that someone among the guests had given a jade crown.Ji Xuanhe was not moved by it, and acted according to the original plan. The jade crown given by this guest will not be worn later.
