It's a long road, and although there is food, most of the time it is still boring. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Do you think we will meet Yu Zhengchang when we arrive in Jining?" Wang Jing asked.

Wen said: "It's not good to say, his Min family and Peng family have gone, and the Kong family and the Meng family are a little unreasonable; But he is also a military general, but he is afraid that he has no common topic with Confucius and Mencius. ”

Wang Weiping: "I will definitely go, Yu Xiang is the head of Wenchen." ”

Guo Zhixing: "Whether he goes or not, let's go once." ”

From Haozhou to Beijing, Jining is a must-pass place, here is the birthplace of Confucius and Mencius, don't go anywhere else, Confucius Temple and Mengzi Temple still have to go.

Liu Yongan: "We not only have to go, but we have to go with great fanfare." ”

Wang Jing: It's a pity that there is no food in Jining.

Of course, she just thought about it in her heart, but what she said was, "In addition to the Confucian Temple and the Meng Temple, you should also visit the Confucius Mansion and the Meng Mansion." Don't say no, I've got you covered. ”

Wang Jing and Liu Yongan set off from Haozhou with four carriages, and now it has become six, she walked all the way, bought all the way, what did she buy, even Liu Yongan can't remember, at this time I heard that she had already prepared the ceremony to go to the Confucian Mansion, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Wen said: "What kind of gifts my sister has prepared, can you show me the list first, so that I don't have to buy too much." ”

Wang Jing smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, it's not heavy." Since we went in together, I don't have to say that I gave a gift, leaving my sister alone. I suggested that my sister still don't buy it, I heard that the Kong and Meng families do not accept gifts. ”

Wen smiled: "I've also heard rumors that they don't accept gifts, but I think that you are working hard, hard and money, and I can't get rid of it." I bought the gift we gave together, of course, and I also had a copy of my sister. ”

Wang Jing said: "Everyone says that it is not strange to have many people, but this 'ceremony' is not the other 'ceremony', if my sister wants to prepare, it is better to prepare a gift for me." ”

Wen knew that she was making fun of herself, but the rumors that the Kong and Meng families did not accept gifts were true, if they were willing to accept their gifts, even if they arrived in the capital, a few of them would be looked at by the entire Shilin Gao, and it was appropriate for them to give her spare parts.

However, she still has a question, will the Kong family really accept the gifts they gave?

When Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty, Kong Ba, a descendant of the Kong family, was named the Marquis of Guannei, with 800 households and 200 catties of gold, but in the previous dynasty, the Confucian family was hereditary Yan Shenggong, and the Confucian Mansion was called Yansheng Gongfu so far. In this dynasty, Yan Shenggong was still hereditary, and it became 1,200 households with 200 catties of gold.

The Confucian family has such a high prestige among the readers, in addition to the prestige left by the Confucian saints, it is absolutely inseparable from the selflessness and righteousness of the great princes of Yan Shenggong in the past dynasties. As descendants of Confucius, they naturally knew that fame was more important than those few things. How could the Confucian family accept the gifts of the scholars who came to worship at this time?

Duchess Yansheng Zhang also saw Wang Jing's gift list at this time: corn leaf baskets, baskets, boxes, plates, boxes, tea mats, cushions, chopstick cages, rice bags, vegetable sieves, pot lids, fans, flower pot sets, paper baskets, letter inserts, teacup sets, sandals, a pair of sandals, and a bucket of Peng Zujing water.

The Yansheng Mansion easily does not accept property, but these are not compatible with property, and they are not worth a few dollars at all, and it will take a lot of effort to pull them to the capital.

Originally, Mrs. Zhang saw the things on the gift list and thought that she was looking for the door to fight the autumn breeze, but she could worship and paste it on the new champion and Jinshi, and the property could be refused, but this little bit of the gadget that occupied the place was refused, and some people didn't want to say that the Kong family hated the poor and loved the rich.

When the water is clear, there are no fish. Although the Kong family is not afraid of what people say, they will not be so stupid as to offend all the scholars in the world.

Mrs. Yansheng personally met Wang Jing and Wen.

"If I accept these things, won't I let others learn from them?" Mrs. Zhang said.

Wang Jing: "This is just a little 'heart' for me and my sister, Mrs. Bo just smiled, it is really not elegant, but my mother's surname is Zhang, it is your family, I think of her when I see you, so I have the 'heart' said." I'm afraid that others will make irresponsible comments, so I chose these things, so you can be my colorful clothes and entertain relatives. ”

Yan Sheng Gong was in charge of local academic politics and recommended talents for the imperial court, and he had heard a lot about Liu Chengfang, who was born in Lizheng, after all, the reputation of Tongzi Academy was there. also knew that the Liu family had an adopted daughter who was recorded in the Wang family tree, and later married her son as a daughter-in-law, she thought that Wang Jing would taboo this matter in front of others, but she didn't expect her to mention it first.

When Mrs. Zhang heard her say this, she felt more and more interesting about this little girl, and asked with a smile: "Where is the ancestral hall of Mrs. Zhang's mother's family?"

Wang Jing: "Xiangxian." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "That's really our family." ”

Wang Jing just pursed her lips and smiled. Of course it's her own family, otherwise she wouldn't dare to come to the door so directly.

Mrs. Zhang felt that this little girl was simple and honest, "You are also a blessed child." If I am lucky enough to meet your mother, I will tell her about the family tree. ”

Wang Jing said: "My mother said that she should call you 'aunt'." You are the 'Ming' generation, and she is the 'Zhe' generation. ”

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "You kid, you should tell me this first when you enter the door, I am old these years and my memory is not very good." ”

Wang Jing: I'll tell you when I enter the door, I'm afraid that you will think that I have already come to fight Fengqiu.

But this is also human nature, why is there anything wrong?

Besides, Mr. Zhang's branch is not obvious, and it is normal for Mrs. Zhang not to know.

"My mother specially explained to us, and I passed by here to greet your old man on her behalf." Wang Jing said with a smile, "But I thought that since it was a greeting and I hadn't seen it for so many years, the meeting ceremony should naturally be more unique, and I thought that you didn't lack anything anymore, so I chose these straw weaves and water on my own initiative, just to make you look fresh." ”

Mrs. Zhang said: "Good boy, these are the necessities of daily life, and they don't cost money, this thing is to my liking." As soon as the old lady was happy, she left them for lunch, and gave them six Nishan inkstones when she left.

The old lady is sixty and six this year, she is an old feudal monarch, and now she really has no shortage of anything, but the bucket of water from Peng Zujing was sent to the heart of the old man's family, and it was sent by the "mother's family", and the old lady looked at Wang Jing and Wen naturally a little more kindly than others.

"You take this too." She said and handed Wang Jing a sticker of worship to Kong Wei, the son of the Holy Prince, "When you arrive in the capital, if you have any inconvenience, you can open your mouth to your cousin." ”

This is to recognize the niece of the Zhang family.

Wang Jing hurriedly thanked her.

Since he was able to meet the Kong family and the Meng family, Wang Jing still sent a bucket of water from Peng Zujing to the Meng family.

The Meng family naturally didn't want to offend the "maiden relatives" of the Duchess Yansheng, and they were very polite to Wang Jing.

When they arrived on the road, Wang Jing gave two pieces of Nani Mountain inkstone to Wen and two pieces to Guo Zhixing.

Don't look at it as just two inkstones, but this is not an ordinary inkstone, Nishan is the birthplace of Confucius, this inkstone is left for future generations to use when Dabi, it is simply too good to be better.

Everyone was very happy, but Yu Zhengchang did not meet them with a gloomy face.

The reason Wang Jing had already guessed, the Kong family only said that Yan Shenggong had gone out to travel, and did not let him enter the door at all. (To be continued.) )
