XVII. Self-cultivation of related households
At this time, although they pay attention to food and do not say anything, there are not many people who actually do this.
When my family eats together, it's not that kind of old Confucian family, and few people can stand the feeling of just eating and not saying anything, so Cao Song kept asking about some things in his hometown, and Guo Peng also answered them one by one.
Full of wine and food, Guo Peng fully showed the true colors of the big stomach king rice bucket, which made Cao Song and Ding very happy, which made Cao Chi also very pleasing to the eye.
That's right, you have to eat more, and the more you eat, the better, and those Sven scum are different from those who are particular about it, such people have the most appetite.
Born to be our family!
Cao Chi thought so.
Seeing that Guo Peng had eaten so much, Ding kept asking Guo Peng if he was enough to eat, if he wanted to eat a little more, and then some venison, fish and the like, Guo Peng hurriedly said no.
So the meal ended, and after the meal, Cao Song's family served some fruits and pastries, as well as tea.
"There are a lot of fruits in Luoyang, and many of these fruits can't be eaten in Qiaoxian County, come, Xiaoyi, eat."
Cao Song beckoned Guo Peng to eat the fruit, Guo Peng was not polite, picked up a slice of fruit and put it in his mouth, and when he took a bite, the juice filled his mouth, sweet and delicious, and it was also cold and refreshing.
It's mid-to-late May now, the weather is getting hotter, just after eating, Guo Peng feels a little sweaty on his body, and now he feels very good when he eats some crisp and sweet fruits.
Cao Song also told Guo Peng that there were a lot of ice cubes stored in the ice cellar at home, and when the weather was hot, he would take some fruits and put them in the ice cellar.
The family eats some, there are distinguished guests to come and entertain some, distinguished guests come, and they also specially squeeze out the juice and knock the ice cubes into it for the guests to enjoy, which seems to have a lot of face.
"Xiao Yi don't worry, I have dug an ice cellar for you in Taixue's residence and stored some ice cubes, if you want to use it at that time, open it and use it, these fruits are also many at home, if you want to eat, ask someone to come back and get it, you can't treat my family's virtuous son-in-law badly."
Cao Song is worthy of being born as a local tyrant, and his gestures are all one word, trench.
And everyone in the Cao family feels like this.
Cao Chi also said that he had three or five ice cellars over there, saying that he was most afraid of the heat, so when he went home, he would send someone to send an ice cube from the ice cellar to Guo Peng's side, and if Guo Peng ran out of ice, he would send someone to his side to get it, you are welcome.
To be honest, this feeling of unearned earning is really good, in line with the most primitive inert needs of human nature.
Naturally, Guo Peng knew that they were not asking for nothing.
But this doesn't prevent Guo Peng from enjoying these generous treatments now, doesn't it?
He's also very afraid of heat.
And Cao Song is really well prepared, and his personality is also very good, not aggressive, and even taking into account some of Guo Peng's own ideas, he didn't ask Guo Peng to live in his house, but gave Guo Peng a single house to live in Taixue, which fully took care of Guo Peng's self-esteem.
In this case, Guo Peng can only express his happiness with serious gratitude.
Guo Peng said this, which made Cao Song very happy.
When the melons and fruits ran out and the homely topic was finished, the Ding family left, and there were three men left in the hall, and it was time to get down to business.
"Tong Zilang has always had a small number of people to worship, and there are only a few people this year, it won't be difficult to ask questions about Tong Zilang, you already know the questions and answers, and some of the relevant joints have been opened, so Xiao Yi, you only need to study in Taixue, and you don't have to worry about anything else."
Cao Song showed his ability and told Guo Peng that he didn't have to worry about other things at all, just study.
In fact, Guo Peng was still a little depressed, because he could really easily answer those questions, but as soon as Cao Song did this, he made himself a relationship that completely relied on relationships.
But after thinking about it, isn't he a relation?
Without Cao Song's relationship, can he enter Taixue as a boy?
Ordinary scholars who have no way to study can only enter Taixue at the age of fifty, and they will not have the opportunity to be selected by the imperial court to be an official until they are sixty years old, and they can enter at the age of twelve, how fortunate and unfair is this?
There is nothing fair to talk about in the world, and Guo Peng will not do this kind of thing if he gets cheap and sells well.
Troubled times are coming, survival is the biggest problem, and not accumulating enough political capital now is a big problem to survive in the future.
"Thank you for your care, my son-in-law is grateful."
Guo Peng admitted this love and said that he was not unhappy.
This made Cao Song breathe a sigh of relief, originally Cao Song thought that Guo Peng would be a little unhappy because of his move, and felt that he despised his talent and learning.
The main reason is that Cao Song doesn't understand ram science, and he doesn't know whether these questions are easy or difficult, and Shangshu, who received the money, did so in line with the principle of helping people send the Buddha to the west, and he naturally accepted it like this, and spent the money anyway.
But seeing that Guo Peng didn't look unhappy, Cao Song was also happy.
"It's no problem to enter Taixue, but Xiao Yi, after entering Taixue, have you thought about how to study?"
Cao Song: This is to the point.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Taixue had only five doctors at the earliest, and the five doctors corresponded to the five Confucian classics of "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn".
A doctor can teach hundreds or even thousands of children, while the number of Taixue students is 30,000 at its peak.
Later, with the development of the scriptures, the inheritors of the five doctors appeared excellent ones with different interpretations of the scriptures, and each of the scriptures gave rise to different schools and their inheritors.
So at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were 14 doctors of the Five Classics, known as the Fourteen Doctors of the Five Classics, which have not changed until now.
For example, there are three doctors of the Ouyang family and the Xiahou family who study the "Shangshu", and the classic of the Hongnong Yang family is "Ouyang Shangshu".
There are Shi, Meng, Liangqiu and Jing who studied "Yi", and the classic of the Yuan family in Runan is "Meng's Yi".
The so-called family inheritance is generally the right of the top scholars.
Because a certain ancestor in the family studied the classics with a certain doctor in the early days, he was very good, and was recognized by the doctor, and obtained the qualification of a disciple of the founding sect, even if he has the right to interpret this classic.
From now on, the children and students of the family from this family can become officials without passing Taixue, and when they reach the age of filial piety, they can become officials, eliminating intermediate links.
Instead of the children and students of this family, they have to rely on their birth and luck to enter Taixue to study a certain classic, and then be selected as officials through the unified selection of the Han government.
That is to say, a person who has the right to interpret a certain classic can prosper a whole family, and from then on, the children of the family can directly raise filial piety and honesty as officials without going through too much study, and can also recruit disciples, and the outstanding ones among the disciples are also qualified to directly raise filial piety and honesty as officials.
The Yuan clan of Runan mastered the right to interpret the classics of "Meng's Yi" and the qualifications for conferring apprentices, so they prospered, forming a situation of four generations and three dukes.
Hongnong Yang mastered the "Ouyang Shangshu", and there was also a situation of four generations and three dukes, which can be called a wealthy family in the world.
As for the Langya Wang family, who reached the pinnacle of the wealthy families of the two Jin Dynasty, it is the family biography "The Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram of the Yan Family".
In other words, these families who have mastered the classic inheritance have the same qualifications as the Eastern Han government, and their authority is no less than that of the Eastern Han government, and even higher than that of the Eastern Han government.
The children and students they taught went out to become officials through filial piety and honesty, and the Eastern Han Dynasty government also agreed, and these people were scattered to various places as officials, that is, the so-called "protégés and former officials all over the world".
In other words, there are not many people who can study these scriptures, and there are not many people who copy and collect them, but only a few recognized inheritors have the right to interpret and confer the right of apprenticeship.
The disciples of the fourteen schools of scripture formed the basis of the bureaucracy of the entire Eastern Han Empire and were the main source of officials.
By monopolizing cultural education and the right to interpret the classics, the scholars also monopolized a considerable part of political power, linking academic and political power to guide public opinion, thus mastering the power that could resist the imperial power.
With the decline of the imperial power of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the establishment of the rules of the game of the scholars, marked by the implementation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the scholars occupied the absolute upper hand, while the vast number of Han people were restricted from the way of the official career, and the cloth cloth emperor and cloth cloth high-ranking officials in the Western Han Dynasty gradually became impossible.
Represented by this, the Sima Emperor of the Two Jin Dynasty was originally born in the Sima clan of Hanoi and was a member of the Shi clan.
And on the eve of the full establishment of the rules of the game, through the troubled times, people like Guo Peng with stains on their bodies still have a chance to climb up, this road has not been completely blocked, he must find a way to break the game before this.
