Chapter 986 What a Handsome Young Man
Seeing the hairpin in Xiao Ruxun's hand, Chu Ying was obviously a little puzzled.

"Father, this..."

"This is called a hairpin, which is specially used for binding hair. There were no hairpins in ancient times, and the Han people, like other people, had disheveled hair. Later, some philosophers thought it was not good to do so, so in order to show the prosperity of civilization, hairpins appeared. to show etiquette and upbringing."

Xiao Ruxun handed the hairpin to Chu Ying, Chu Ying looked at it without saying a word, just looked at Xiao Ruxun.

"Since you are my adopted son, you should look a little better. You can't continue to go out like this, and let others think that I haven't educated you well. I am the emperor of Daqin. If my subjects criticize me like this, what should I do?"

Chu Ying couldn't refute the reasons given by Xiao Ruxun.

Of course, Chu Ying didn't think there was anything wrong, it was just a little strange.

The clansmen all wear braids and shave off the rest of their hair. Doesn't he disrespect his parents and the traditions of the clan by doing so?

Leave your hair, or even tie it up.

"Father, we all do this in our clan. I removed my braids and grew my hair long. In fact, I already feel a little inappropriate. If I continue to tie my hair, if I return to the clan in the future, what will the clansmen think of me?" ?”

Seeing Chu Ying's worried look, Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"How many members of your clan are there?"

"About hundreds of thousands."

Chu Ying answered honestly.

"Yes, 10 people, but how many people are there in Daqin? There are 10 million people, Chu Ying, think about it, is it better to count [-] people to treat you as an outsider, or [-] million people to treat you as an outsider?" Does it look better to outsiders?"

After hearing Xiao Ruxun's words, Chu Ying felt that the comparison between the two seemed to be the case. It was obviously better to get the approval of 10 million people than to get the approval of hundreds of thousands of people.

"But, adoptive father, I am not a Han Chinese after all."

Chu Ying was still a little worried. After all, he was Nurhachi's son and the little prince of the tribe, so he still had some common sense.

"Chu Ying, you have to remember that to judge whether a person is Han, it is not what others say, but what you think. The comrades around you are all Han, but are you different from them?

What you wear is the Daqin battle robe, what you eat is rice grown, you speak Chinese, and you wear Chinese hair. There is no difference in our looks. You are still my adopted son. Who would not treat you as a Han Chinese? What do you think? "

Xiao Ruxun patted Chu Ying on the shoulder: "Han people are not so particular. As long as you join in, live the same life and say the same things as Han people, you will find that everyone treats you as Han people in a short time. No one will mention your past anymore, so you don't have to worry at all."

"Is that so..."

Chu Ying lowered her head, looked at the hairpin in her hand, and seemed a little moved.

This hairpin is very beautiful.

Moreover, he has gradually gotten used to this kind of life, staying with a group of cheerful men and living the life of Han people, he feels that he is very used to it.

It is even more comfortable and satisfactory than living in the tribe, and the conditions in all aspects are also very good, not worse than living in the tribe.

The hairstyles of the comrades-in-arms also look very nice, and everyone is like this, he is the only one doing something special, isn't it a bit out of place?

More importantly, there was a adoptive father of the emperor of the Central Empire. He felt very lucky. The status of this father was much higher than that of his biological father. He was the great emperor!
Is it better to live a dignified life as a Han Chinese with the emperor's adoptive father than to live a life of climbing ice and lying on snow with your biological father as a savage outside the Great Wall?
The answer is without a doubt.

Xiao Ruxun pulled Chu Ying to stand up, went to her study, and asked the servant to bring Chu Ying a set of clothes.

"This is specially made for you by the foster father, please put it on!"

Xiao Ruxun pointed to the suit, Chu Ying seemed a little flattered, she changed into this suit under the service of the servant, and then looked at the glass mirror in the study, showing a surprised expression.

"this is me?"

Xiao Ruxun walked to Chu Ying's side, looked at Chu Ying in the mirror, and said with a slight smile: "There is still something wrong, come and sit down."

Xiao Ruxun pressed Chu Ying on the chair, then tied his hair himself, tied the long hair into a smaller bun on the top of his head, then brought a crown, put the bun in the crown, and inserted the hairpin into the crown. Among them, he then ordered someone to lift the mirror to Chu Ying.

"This is called a crown. It is something given by the elders of the family that men of the Han family can get when they become adults. Wearing a crown means that a man has grown up, can get married, be an official, start a family, and start a business. Does it look good?"

Chu Ying's body trembled slightly as she looked at the gorgeous dress and the crown on her head in the glass mirror.

"This... is it really me?"

"Of course, look, what a handsome young man, isn't he?"

Xiao Ruxun raised the corners of her mouth and looked at the excited Chu Ying in the mirror.

Chu Ying's lips moved slightly.

"Yes……"

He is very satisfied with the way he looks now.

Xiao Ruxun nodded in satisfaction.

"You are already. As your adoptive father, I personally crowned you. Chu Ying, you are an adult, you can get married, be an official, start a family and start a business. Live in this world as a real man and fulfill your responsibilities. At the same time, you are no longer a foreigner, you are already a Han Chinese, Chu Ying."

"I... I am... a Han Chinese?"

"That's right, you are already a Han. You have to be crowned and become an adult. Oh, yes, you will also be given characters. Han people have names and characters. Adult men must be bestowed with characters by their elders."

Xiao Ruxun smiled and said: "Gui Han, you should use Gui Han as your name. Everyone in the army calls you General Chu, so you can use Chu as your Chinese surname. From now on, you can use the name of Chu Gui Han." Walk between heaven and earth."

"Chu Guihan..."

Chu Ying looked at herself in the mirror, and only felt happy in her heart. Apart from that, she had no other feelings.

Chu Ying was indeed very happy. When he returned to the camp of the Wild Lion Camp, when his comrades looked at the gorgeous costumes he was wearing and the crown on his head, they learned that His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor had crowned him personally After the incident, the eyes of the comrades almost turned green with envy.

They don't have this kind of treatment, not to mention the emperor giving the crown ceremony in person, even the usual crown ceremony and giving the characters can't be done. After all, such things as the crown ceremony and the gift of characters are special treatment only for the scholarly family. , the common people don't even know the characters, so why are they talking about crowning and granting characters?

Chu Ying is different from the previous Chu Ying after the crown ceremony and Biaozi. Now, he seems to be more like a Han Chinese than everyone else.

Not to mention his comrades-in-arms, even the general with a higher rank than him looked at his gorgeous clothes with envy.

Jiang Yue and Xue Bolu were obviously more polite to him.

Feeling this transcendent atmosphere, Chu Ying only felt that she was on the top of the cloud, floating and extremely comfortable.

What could be more joyful than this kind of thing?
The young Chu Ying couldn't feel it anymore.
