Chapter 50: Two and a Half in the World
Wang Chanke is an archaeology major, although it is the first time to come to Shanghe, but he is very clear about Shanghe, the two world-famous archways.
However, Wang Chan's answer is very interesting: "What the old man said, it is very clearly written on it, it is a memorial arch established by the imperial court in the forty-third year of Qianlong for the wife of Zhang Pu, the gift of Wenlin Lang. It is called the world's first archway. ”
The old man pointed to another majestic archway nearby and said, "Then you can take a look, there is another Baishou Fang, you can know the origin." ”
Wang Chan's basic knowledge is still very good, and he said with a smile: "This memorial arch is also quite a history, I heard that it is the Zhu family archway, which is the 30th year of Qianlong, the Hanlin Academy Confucius gave Wenlin Lang Zhu Shuqi's wife Kong Shi to establish. ”
These are not only written on the torii, but also recorded in the book. The old man nodded and said, "Then do you know the story about these two archways?" ”
Wang Chan thought for a while and said: "Legend has it that the history of this Baishoufang is worth savoring. This Zhu Shuqi also relied on the blessing of her ancestors and the wealth of her family back then, so she could be regarded as a small official position of Confucius in the Hanlin Academy, and she was a rich man. But his wife, Kong, is a goosepaw girl from ten miles and eight towns. ”
Goose paws, that is, there are webbed connections between the fingers, which is considered a disability.
However, this Kong family is not an ordinary person, but a son of the famous Confucian family, speaking of which, he is still the aunt of Kong Peixian, the Shenggong of this generation, and the seventieth granddaughter of Confucius.
If it weren't for some disabilities, it would be impossible to marry a small family like the Zhu family. That's the Confucian family, for more than 2,000 years, all dynasties, no matter who became the emperor, all respected Confucius very much, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the Confucian family with a thousand-year-old family.
There are rumors among the people that there are two and a half families in the world, one is the Confucian family, and the emperor is just half a family.
Because the emperor takes turns, no one knows if the emperor will be replaced in a few decades.
Therefore, it can only be regarded as half a home. However, Yan Shenggong, all dynasties, has stood tall for more than 2,000 years, which shows that his status is respected.
The Kong family married into the Zhu family, but it was married, the descendants of the Kong family, the Kong family asked the Zhu family to take a step by step, from Shanghe to Qufu, and the Zhu family in order to marry the daughter of Confucius, really placed two ingots to the Confucian Mansion, and then married the Kong family.
It can be seen that the Zhu family was also very rich at that time.
It's a pity that this Zhu Shuqi died of illness more than ten years after Kong's passing, and this Kong's wanted to invite the county commander at that time. This is a custom of funerals in the old days, that is, after a person dies, he must have his own tablet, indicating who is the lord of whom.
But before the Lord is named, it is written who is on the throne.
This key point is to invite the local gentry and famous people to point a red dot with a special pen, which is for the master. Of course, it would be best if you could ask the local prefectural magistrate to come to the lord.
The county commander guarded one side on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he was naturally the most famous person in the local area. However, the local Shanghe * county order disliked that the Zhu family was a small family, a small turtle, and a little money was not worthy of his master.
As a result, Kong directly went to Qu Fuyan Shenggong and cried. This and that, Yan Shenggong's aunt, a child of the Confucian family, can outsiders bully?
Yan Shenggong said, let my aunt go back first, and then I went. The Kong family, who accompanied him to the Zhu family, asked, how many people does Yan Shenggong plan to take. Yan Shenggong replied, three people.
As a result, on the day of the arrival of Yan Shenggong, the gong was sounded to open the way and the flag was unfurled. He did bring three people over, but these three people were the three general soldiers, and each of the three general soldiers brought more than 1,000 people, and as a result, the local Shanghe people who were discharged from the Zhu family for more than ten miles were all brought by Yan Shenggong, drank all the local well water, and bought food for dozens of miles around.
Yan Sheng Gong, that is the duke, a super official position, even when he was in the last dynasty, Yan Sheng Gong was also ahead of the six departments, which shows the status of Yan Sheng Gong in the officialdom.
The county order is naturally here to visit, he doesn't dare not come, he can't not come, all the people who read all over the world are the children of saints, and they are all learning the books of Confucius, do you dare not come?
Yan Sheng Gong asked the county order to sprinkle paper money in front of Zhu Shuqi's head when he went out of the funeral, which was only done by filial sons and grandsons, but the county order did not dare not do it.
After that, Kong asked, what should I do in the future? Yan Shenggong said, as long as my aunt is determined to observe the festival and Fu Gu is established, I will play the court to set up a memorial arch for you.
Sure enough, the Kong family adhered to etiquette, remained widowed for decades, and raised their son Zhu Chun to be established.
After Kong's death, Yan Shenggong and the Zhu family went to the imperial court, and the imperial court ordered the construction of Baishoufang to commend Kong's chastity and filial piety.
This is the origin of Baishoufang. When the shopkeeper Song heard this, he was a little surprised, this is the archway of the Confucian family, in ancient times, it was about status, he was surprised and said: "Baishoufang is still before Baishifang."
It is said that since Baishoufang was established in ancient times, it is unlikely that there are other torii in the vicinity. After all, the status of the Kong family is there. This Hundred Lions Fang? ”
Wang Chan thought about it and was a little surprised, but he still took over and said: "It is rumored that in ancient times, there were two families and a half people who ruled the world, one was the Confucian family in Qufu, the other was the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, and the other half was the emperor's family. This Zhangjia archway, doesn't it say that it has something to do with Longhu Mountain? ”
The Kong family, the Zhang family, maybe only the Zhang family is qualified to build a memorial arch nearby.
The old man nodded with a smile, and said with some pride: "The world is so big, except for the people of our Zhang family, who dares to build a memorial arch near the Kong family."
This archway is our old Zhang family. Although it is already a little far from the descendants of the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain, it is the descendant of Zhang Tianshi, and this will not be wrong. ”
The door is right, in ancient times, it will be the right door, the Zhang family and the Kong family, this is the real door. Looking at the old man's expression at this time, there is no doubt that he is the descendant of this Zhang family.
At this time, the old man held a piece of paper about A4 and folded it together and laughed at the kind of manual, and said slowly: "There is a ciphertext about these two torii gates on it." Ten dollars a piece, it's not expensive, is it? ”
I'll go, which made Shopkeeper Song stunned, looking at this old man, he also looks like a fairy wind and bones, and he is very respected by others. But the three views of this opening are all ruined, and the direct one is a small merchant and vendor who recommends specialty products in a scenic spot, and his face changes so quickly that those actors are willing to bow down.
Shopkeeper Song said with a smile: "Old man, you are not reliable, ten yuan, I can buy a thick stack of stagflation like this, you are just a piece of paper, you are embarrassed to ask me for ten yuan." ”
