…

For the next two days, Zhao Hao did not run around, but stayed in the mansion and became a coolie.

There was no other way. I had to make a few sets of porcelain to give as gifts. Besides, my father also promised to give out a lot of money in one go.

I can only stick my butt out to fix it.

In the evening, after dinner, the whole family came to the main hall and sat down, starting to talk about tomorrow's coming-of-age ceremony.

Qin Shuyun said: "The invitations were sent out a few days ago. In fact, we didn't invite that many guests."

"I counted and there are about thirty people. The colleagues that the master told me about the other day have also sent invitations."

"Everything about the banquet has been prepared. Xiao Su from the first floor said that they will be closed for one day tomorrow, and the waiters and the kitchen staff will all come to your house."

"Some of them have already arrived and are busy now."

"These things are nothing, Master. The main thing is that the person who will crown Hao'er tomorrow has not yet been decided."

If it is a small family, the son of the family will hold a ceremony of capping, and the grandparents, or other respected family elders, will be selected to perform the ceremony.

It will be all right.

As for the banquet, it's just a gathering for everyone to have some simple food and drinks.

It’s not that important.

However, the Zhao family is not a small family, so there must be certain standards.

Other aspects are easy to handle, but it is difficult to decide on the person to crown Zhao Hao.

Normally speaking, this candidate would probably be the patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Shenglai.

Or you can choose a highly respected person from the family's side branches.

OK.

But the current situation is that they were just expelled from the family not long ago.

Although the spirit tablet of their branch had been brought back to the family ancestral hall two days ago, it was considered to have returned to the family.

But the gap still exists after all.

It is not easy to find people from the family, whether it is the patriarch Zhao Sheng or the elders from other branches.

Moreover, Zhao Wenxiang has been busy with official business during this period, so it has never been decided who will crown Zhao Hao.

If we don’t make a decision today, it will be too late.

Zhao Wenxiang nodded slightly and didn't speak for a long time.

Although he has been busy these days, how should he deal with this matter? As a father, how can he not think about the choice of person to crown Zhao Hao?

Deep down, he still wanted to find someone in the family to crown Zhao Hao.

But he also understood that neither his wife nor his son would be very willing to do so.

Because these two mothers still have a lot of resentment towards the family.

Of course, he also felt resentful about his family's previous actions.

But he can dissolve himself.

It's family after all.

Harmony is the most important thing.

But these two mothers are different from him, and it is definitely impossible to eliminate them.

This is also the reason why the selection has been hesitant and has been delayed until now.

After a long while, he looked up at Zhao Hao: "Hao'er, do you have any idea about the person who will crown you?"

Today's Zhao Hao is no longer the useless son who only knows how to stir up trouble in his stereotype.

Therefore, after adjusting his mentality, Zhao Wenxiang no longer ordered people around like before, but gradually paid more attention to Zhao Hao's opinions.

Zhao Hao smiled softly and said without hesitation: "Dad, Mom, there is no rule that the person who is crowned must be from our family."

"As long as we find someone we know well and who is regarded by everyone as a respected senior, that will be enough."

"In the family, whether it's the patriarch or other elders, I definitely don't want to use them."

In fact, he didn't have any special ideas about this issue.

He even felt that the crowning was something that was dispensable.

Not to mention the candidates.

The main reason he wanted to express his opinion was to take his mother's thoughts into consideration.

That's all.

I absolutely do not want anyone from the Zhao family to crown me.

If that's the case, then it can't be used.

After a pause, Zhao Hao continued, "Dad, how about this? Let's choose the Imperial Academy's chief priest, Shang Henshui, to crown me. How do you think?"

"Mr. Shang?"

When Zhao Wenxiang heard this, he was stunned. He did not expect that his son would propose such a candidate.

Shang Henshui was a veteran of two dynasties and the leader of the entire literary world.

Very high reputation.

If it was that old man who came to perform the coming-of-age ceremony for his son, he would indeed be an excellent candidate.

Moreover, outsiders can't find any fault with it.

But that old man has a very strange temper.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qin Shuyun beside him nodding with a smile: "Okay, Hao'er, Mr. Shang is a good choice!"

"Please ask Elder Shang to perform the ceremony of crowning you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Wenxiang said helplessly: "Madam, don't be too happy yet. That old Shang has a very strange temper."

"Even if I go to their door and ask for help, they may not agree."

Qin Shuyun said, "There's no need for the master to go in person. After all, Mr. Shang has a very good relationship with Hao'er. Isn't it enough to let Hao'er go and invite him himself?"

"Um?"

Zhao Wenxiang was startled and his eyes immediately fell on Zhao Hao.

"Hao'er, when did you become friends with Mr. Shang?"

Qin Shuyun smiled and said, "Master, you may not know this yet, but this morning, Prince Kang, Elder Shang, and General Chuyun came to our house together to ask Hao'er for porcelain."
