"The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in the right appearance, the same color, and the right words. ”

In other words, etiquette is produced by proper behavior, dignified appearance, and deferential speech. This also tells us that if a person wants to know etiquette, understand etiquette, and be polite, he must start with a dignified appearance and appearance.

In ancient times, people believed that in order to understand things, one must first dress properly. Therefore, "dressing properly" has become the first link of the ancient apprenticeship ceremony.

Of course, the Confucian clothes worn by Du Xiaoxiao at this time are still upright, after all, Sun Guifen is also a meticulous old lady. However, the small Confucian hat on her head was slightly crooked because of her previous movements.

With a gentle smile on his face, Liu Hongquan reached out and helped Du Xiaoxiao straighten the Confucian hat. During this period, Du Xiaoxiao stood there obediently, looking at this old man who he had known for less than a day.

"The second item is to bow down to the teacher. ”

Under the leadership of Liu Hongquan, Du Xiaoxiao walked to the portrait of Confucius and saluted respectfully like a few bigwigs.

"The third item is to worship the teacher. ”

Liu Hongquan returned to his seat and sat down, while Du Xiaoxiao saluted again in front of him and called Master sweetly.

Hu Lei knew that it was time for him to play, so he picked up the snakeskin bag in his hand and took out the contents one by one. These things are, celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, bacon, which is also the six rites of the ancient apprenticeship ceremony, which is the gift that the disciple needs to give to the master when he apprentices.

Even at this time, Hu Lei still unconsciously complained in his heart, the ancients really knew how to play!

Of course, Du Xiaoxiao didn't know the twists and turns. She looked at the souvenirs that Hu Lei took out of the snakeskin bag in the same way, and her eyes widened, "Hey, Hu Lei, you are too stingy!"

"What?", Hu Lei was stunned, why am I stingy again.

"Although I picked up a master for nothing, you can't fool people with these souvenirs!", Du Xiaoxiao glanced at Hu Lei, looking like why you are so embarrassed.

Liu Hongquan was also choked by this sentence "Master who picked up for nothing", but it didn't seem unreasonable to think about it carefully. This is really nothing to do at home, and the master sent it to the door! And in order to fool this little apprentice, he has already promised a set of undergarments and a few preserved egg-flavored ice cream.

Hu Lei didn't have as much mental activity as Liu Hongquan, so he glared back directly at the bear child, "What do you know, that's what Mr. Liu wants." ”

"Huh?", Du Xiaoxiao showed a surprised expression on her face when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Liu Hongquan, "Master, can't you even afford to eat food, it's so pitiful." Let's go back to our house for dinner, the dim sum made of marinade is delicious, and there is also a crab roe xiaolong, I can eat a cage every time!"

Liu Hongquan's mood is extremely complicated now, although his little apprentice still wants to care about his own life, which makes him feel a little gratified. But...... My dear little apprentice, how depressed Master is in your eyes!

Immediately afterwards, Du Xiaoxiao complained again, "Hu Lei, you are really, you know that the teacher's family is poor and you don't know how to take more food." You said you can eat a handful of celery for a few meals!"

"Poof. Although I knew that the occasion was a little wrong, someone finally couldn't help laughing. The laughter seemed to be contagious, and in the blink of an eye, the originally serious study turned into a talk show scene.

"The gods are gone!", Summers muttered to himself, stunned as he watched the sudden change.

Although for a child as big as Du Xiaoxiao, it is normal not to know these things. But after all, it was his own child who showed his cowardice in front of others, and Hu Lei felt a little embarrassed.

He hurriedly stuffed these things into Du Xiaoxiao's hands, "Where is there so much nonsense, just give these to your master." ”

Shen Suihai also recovered from his confusion at this time, it was the first time in his life that he had seen his teacher so embarrassed! In order to avoid further embarrassment, he hurriedly said, "Fourth, give six gifts." ”

"Is this these?", Du Xiaoxiao heard this, and counted the souvenirs that Hu Lei stuffed into her hands, no more, no less, just six, and then she stuffed them all into Liu Hongquan's hands.

Liu Hongquan glared at Hu Lei with a black line, this kid is too unreliable. thought that he would at least give these things to Du Xiaoxiao in advance, but he made such a joke. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little happy, fortunately, he didn't want to make a noise about the apprenticeship, otherwise if a reporter was watching the ceremony at the scene, the joke would be big. However, he was even more glad that he found Du Xiaoxiao's good seedling in time, otherwise he would have ruined this good seedling if he let Hu Lei, an unreliable boy, teach it.

Shen Suihai was also embarrassed at this time, according to the process, he should give gifts like a disciple, and as the host, he had to explain them one by one.

The first is to explain to the relatives and friends who are watching the ceremony, after all, you can't expect everyone to understand the meaning of the souvenirs.

This second is also as a senior brother, and the substitute teacher exhorts the new junior brothers and sisters to study diligently.

But Du Xiaoxiao's brain was stuffed into Liu Hongquan's arms like selling Chinese cabbage, which made Shen Suihai a little difficult.

However, he is also a person who has seen the wind and waves, so he simply doesn't care about the process, and takes advantage of the meeting when his teacher is confused, and directly comes to an introduction without physical objects.

"The disciple offers celery, which means that he is diligent in learning and inquisitive, and strives to make progress. ”

"The disciple offers lotus seeds, which means painstaking and lonely, hard-working and hard-working. ”

"The disciple offers red beans, which means good luck and great ambitions. ”

"The disciple offered red dates, which means early in high school and serving the country. ”

"The disciple offers longan, which means enlightenment and wisdom, wisdom and studiousness. ”

"The disciple offers bacon, which means respecting the teacher and not forgetting the teacher's kindness. ”

"Huh?", Du Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, and it was only then that she realized that she seemed to have made a joke just now.

Such an old child is at the time when his self-esteem is at his strongest, and his little face immediately turns red.

Beside Huray, Cole nudged Summers again and asked in a low voice, "What is he talking about?"

Summers also looked puzzled, "Maybe it's some mysterious Yanhuang spell, I already feel that the inexplicable energy is converging, Yanhuang, it's really a great country." ”

"Poof. ”

Listening to this big black man's serious nonsense, Hu Lei laughed directly, what a special Yanhuang spell.

The bear child was depressed at this time, and almost cried aggrievedly when he heard Hu Lei's laughter, "Hu Lei, you are so bad, you still laugh at me." ”

Hu Lei, "......"

Liu Hongquan stepped forward and reached out and touched Du Xiaoxiao's head, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I will teach you everything I have learned all my life as a teacher in the future." We are so young, we will definitely become talented women who are shocked by Yan Huang. ”

"Hmm. Du Xiaoxiao nodded heavily, "Master, for your sake, even if there is no preserved egg-flavored ice cream, I will worship you as a teacher." ”

At this moment, Liu Hongquan actually had a feeling of old tears, and he finally relied on his knowledge and character to impress Du Xiaoxiao.

This is really thanks to the divine assistance of Hu Lei, this kid!

Thinking of this, his gaze at Hu Lei softened a lot, but he looked at Hu Lei stunned.

However, by this time, the apprenticeship had not yet been fully completed.

"The fifth item is to clean hands and hearts. ”

With Shen Suihai's voice, Sun Guifen came over with a metal basin in time, which was filled with water.

"Master, do you want to wash your hands?", Du Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "But I have already washed my hands when I changed my clothes just now!"

Liu Hongquan smiled, "This is not just washing your hands!"

"Come small, put your hand in the water, once for the other and again. ”

"Oh. This time, Du Xiaoxiao did not skin again, she cleaned her hands once according to what Liu Hongquan said.

"Xiaoxiao, do you know why you want to go back and forth once?"

Du Xiaoxiao shook her head, her little face full of curiosity. After the jokes about local specialties before, she realized that her apprenticeship ceremony today was not just fun, and every link should have a deep meaning.

Liu Hongquan smiled and explained, "The meaning of each palm and back of the hand is to clean the hands and hearts, and remove the miscellaneous essence. As a teacher, I hope you can concentrate and have no distractions in your future studies. ”

"Hmm. Du Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously, as if making a promise that would affect his life.

Subsequently, Liu Hongquan took a brush dipped in cinnabar and dotted a red dot on Du Xiaoxiao's eyebrows, but it made Du Xiaoxiao a little more playful and cute.

"Cinnabar spot mole, taken from the meaning of "wisdom", which means to open wisdom, eyes and heart. Although you are the smartest and smartest child you have ever seen for the teacher, you must know that the road to study is like sailing against the current, if you do not advance, you will retreat, and the teacher hopes that you can guard against arrogance and rashness, and do not waste time and your talent. ”
