Banquets in the Spring and Autumn Period were also called rituals, and the most prominent feature was that they had many rules.

The first thing is to do is to host the host of the gift and arrange people to welcome the guests.

The welcome of this era is not a girl wearing a cheongsam, but a capable person who has the identity to recognize all the guests.

Usually there are different places for welcome guests and introductory guests.

The main is the guest, and the second is the mediator.

In addition to the welcome guests, there are also Jie Guys, who are responsible for telling the guests what kind of process will be going to be today so that the guests will not be fooled.

These people are usually held by the head of the family, and they must be capable and capable of being knowledgeable and excellent in memory.

If you don’t have this ability and make mistakes, you will naturally lose the face of the head of the family.

Therefore, it is not easy to be a disciple, you have to be able to do it.

"The Zhou Li·Autumn Official" records that there will be an etiquette in the banquet venue to maintain the etiquette of the people's words and appearance.

It’s just that you said the wrong thing and I’ll give you some advice.

If you have any etiquette wrong, please correct it and quickly modify it.

So the emcee is not an imported product. It was written in the "Book of Zhou" many years ago.

When Li Yunze brought Meng Pi to Ji Sun's door, the welcoming guest hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The guests greeted the two of them outside the door, and Li Yunze brought Meng Pi back the gift.

There is a gift outside the door, a gift behind the entrance, and another gift in front of the steps of the main hall.

Again and again, again and again.

Three bows are the purpose of bowing three times and giving in.

After going through the process, the two of them entered the banquet hall under the guidance of Cibin.

What followed was Jie Bin, who came to inform the two of them about the seat arrangements and introduced the process of this banquet.

Meng Pi had never participated without experience, and subconsciously wanted to walk a few days later, but was pulled by Li Yunze quietly.

"Ji's invitation was frightened. He was afraid to receive a feast and did not dare to accept it."

The biggest feature of Zhou Li is that it is cumbersome and the various process details are very troublesome.

For things like this, I have to refuse and ask for a seat.

The guard retreated and the master went out to greet him.

Ji Sun, who looked a little ugly, stepped forward and followed the steps to invite Li Yunze and Meng Pi to sit for the banquet again.

Of course, Ji Sun's expression was not good-looking. Another Duke of Lu was about to die at his home. Everyone in the world didn't know how to point fingers, so what would be a good look?

"Who should I show you a donkey face?"

Hearing Li Yunze's words, Ji Sun had to forcefully squeeze out a smile.

"Good work." Before the banquet, Li Yunze gave a message to him, "You will naturally be beneficial after the matter is completed. If the matter is done, then you will be reduced to ten times with one force."

Ji Sun really didn't know what to say, so he could only smile bitterly.

Meng Pi, who was standing beside him, was really amazed when he saw this scene.

This is Ji Sun, the leader of the Three Huans.

Fortunately, the next guest came according to the rules, and Ji Sun hurriedly said goodbye to welcome him and leave.

In ancient costume film and television dramas, when guests meet outside the door, telling some gossip and then smiling, this kind of thing can be said to be purely for visual effects and plot needs.

In the true sense, guests will never come together. They come one by one and welcome them one by one.

Crowds gathered together... to the market.

After entering the table, pots, sections, spoons, washing and other items are placed in different directions on the table table.

Xuan wine is in the west, spoon is in the east, washes in the southeast, and festivals are in the south.

The placement of things on the table table also has specific etiquette requirements.

Meng Pi looked over and asked in a low voice, "Why are you doing these?"

"I have been to the Mengsun family's banquet before, which is much more troublesome than this." Li Yunze sat upright and said, "It's boring to have too many gifts."

When a group of guests arrived one after another, the main hall became more and more lively.

The last one came was Duke Lu, and everyone stood up to greet him.

It is impossible to kowtow. Apart from the parents and ancestors of heaven and earth, they will not kowtow to anyone. It is a slave ceremony brought by the barbarians.

Li Yunze looked at the slightly young Duke of Lu, his eyes were a little black, and it looked like he was overly colored.

There was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes, but not much.

The lower plate is not very stable while walking, and it is considered lack of exercise.

Overall, nothing outstanding, nothing is very ordinary.

Naturally, Li Yunze saw the thief and followed Duke Lu with his sword.

Tuotuo naturally met Li Yunze.

Although I had known this person would come for a long time, the meeting again still made Tuotuo clench the hilt of the sword tightly.

He has been in the world for so many years, but hasn't done anything to kill or rob?

Only after being frustrated in front of Li Yunze, after the initial shock and fear, Dituo had only one thought in his mind, that is, to find a way to kill Kong Laoer!

He glared at Li Yunze viciously, but Li Yunze gave him a meaningful smile.

The reason why the famous thief can appear here openly is that Duke Lu gave him a legal identity.

There is no facial recognition in this era, and most of the people who have seen the thief were killed. Most people don’t know that the thief was famous in Lu, which made children afraid to cry at night and women afraid to go out was actually in this hall.

Duke Lu was not afraid of Li Yunze's identity as Podou, because Dodou had another completely real and legal identity in Qufu City.

If you break up, you can take it down in the name of false accusation.

When everyone arrived, the emcee began to follow the process.

After another long etiquette, Ji Sun, the master, got up and washed his hands in the copper basin brought by the maid, and washed the wine glass (Jue).

Then, Ji Sun brought the wine-written wine-filled wine and began to toast the guests.

First of all, it is naturally the king, Duke Lu. Although he is a puppet, he is also a puppet of the king. Naturally, such etiquette cannot be wrong.

The guest stood up, the host toast, the guest returned the gift, and the servants gave them a broth and a stolen meat, which was dried fruit and chopped meat and table.

As for the specific process, such as what to say, how to put your hands, how to put your feet, how to eat a symbolic bite, and then say something to thank you. The process is too cumbersome and can't be expressed.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The process of the host toasting is called sacrifice.

Next, the guest returns a favor to the host, called Zu.

There is another round in the end, where the host toast the guests twice, which is called reward.

After three rounds, it is collectively called the ceremony of offering.

Among them are many etiquettes such as worship, resignation, ascension, descending, advancement and retreating.

The big reason why "The Book of Zhou" was abandoned in later generations is that it is too complicated.

After a few etiquettes, the next step will be a series of musical performances such as singing, singing, singing, and music.

In an era of low productivity, only aristocrats are qualified and capable of enjoying music, such as input and no output.

The musicians kept playing and singing, and the guests frequently raising their lords to drink, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Logically speaking, it is time to have some activities at this time, such as pot throwing games.

However, Ji Sun received a gesture from Li Yunze, coughed and said to Lu Gong, "Your Majesty, drinking dryly is boring, how about it better to dance a sword to cheer up?"

Duke Lu was thinking about his thoughts, and he was thinking about how to kill the arrogant Confucius. It would be even better if he could kill Sanhuan with his side.

Although he is not very capable, he really dares to think about it.

In the face of Ji Sun's proposal, Duke Lu nodded and said, "Okay."

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was traditional to value martial arts and rituals. It was not like the so-called pretense of scholars in later generations. It was really capable.

Similarly, dancing swords at banquets is also a popular program. Even good masters who use swords will be valued by noble people and will be recruited as disciples and will be held in a life of glory and wealth from then on.

Li Yunze rolled up his sleeves and was about to get up, but he saw a Ji Sun family's disciple rushing out impatiently and saluted to Ji Sun family, "Master, Uncle Zhongli is showing his ugly appearance."

There is a Zhongli Kingdom south of Xu State, where Uncle Zhongli came from.

Ji Sun was a little surprised. He forgot to give in advance, and his disciples jumped out and stole the show.

Subconsciously, he looked at Li Yunze and saw Li Yunze nodding slightly.

Li Yunze’s meaning is very simple. Let Uncle Zhongli go to the hot field first and then go on it later.

Ji Sun understood what he meant and agreed on the spot.

However, at this time, he had been paying close attention to Li Yunze's thief, but suddenly stepped forward a few steps and saluted to Duke Lu. "Your Majesty, Yu Fuyou, please compete with Uncle Zhongli."
