When it comes to "The man who rides the horse, he will do a thousand miles without labor; Those who take the boat do not swim but help the rivers and seas. Mo Zhai discussed with Ji Ran, and also extended his thoughts to the doorman and explained: "This idea is very exciting, just like the siege battle, if there is a good weapon, borrow that weapon and avoid manpower, this siege weapon is fake and good." Therefore, on weekdays, in my spare time, I think more in my head, work hard, and explore strange skills. I have crossed a mountain stream of more than 50 meters with the help of a kite, and I have also used a bamboo raft to ride a river. ”

When Ji Ran talked about "the wind and rain, the spirit of the strong beam, so it can't be extinguished for a long time, and the small valley is in the land of the strong beam, so it has to be taken", Mo Zhai felt very wonderful, and also talked about some of his own views during the discussion: "Violent and fierce can't exercise long-term strength, just like a person's strength, how can he always hold on to his strength without leaking?" Rigidity and softness are the long-term way, governing the world, softness is good deeds, and the people are safe and friendly; Just for the majesty, set the border to shake the enemy country. However, those who are benevolent to the people and the country must seek the benefit of the world and eliminate the harm of the world, and if they treat other people's countries as if they were their own country, who will use their own strength to attack other people's countries? For the sake of other countries as for one's own country. Who would use the power of his own capital to attack another's capital as if it were his own? Treat others as you would like to be treated as yourself. Treat other people's families as if they were their own, who would use their own family to harass other people's families? Treat others as you would like to be treated as yourself. In this case, then the country and the capital do not attack each other, and individuals and families do not interfere with each other, is this a harm to the world? Or is it the benefit of the world? It must be said that it is the benefit of the world. ”

Mo Zhai asked his father again if he wanted to talk about it, and the son Jian laughed: "Okay, since I parted with my teacher Confucius, although I failed to add color to my teacher, I didn't give up my practice at all. ”

Until this moment, Ji Ran knew that this Zijian was actually from Confucius.

When the people heard that the teacher's father's teacher was a disciple of the Confucian master, they were pleasantly surprised, and they saw it a second time. What Zi Jian said was to teach Confucius's "Analects", which was compiled into a book by the disciples after Confucius left, and Zeng Zi gave Zi Jian a copy. Zijian talked about some of the "Analects" and explained the "Ziyu Law". This explanation incorporated Zijian's own perception over the years, and Ji Ran also discussed with Zijian more about the wonderful points, and the discussion was an eye-opener for everyone.

At the time of the cold year, Ji Ran discussed with Zijian and decided to do the marriage for Mo Zhai and Ayu in the spring of the next year, exchange eight characters, set a good day and auspicious day, and the two sides exchanged relatives.

After a while, when the cold spring came, Mo Zhai also wrote to Teng Chong and others in the Mo Academy in advance to inform them of the time of the marriage. Na Tengchong and the others learned that Mo Zhai had set up a school at the foot of Tianzi that week and was going to hold a marriage, and Yu Momen said that this was a big event of double happiness, and they were very happy, and they wrote back to inform them that they would come as scheduled.

Besides, Mo Zhai, still for the door to teach knowledge and martial arts, that people get a lot of knowledge, daily self-communication and play, this news gradually spread, this Tianzi country capital spread that there is a school in the city of Yique, regardless of whether it is high or low, the knowledge is very broad, in the way of governance, the way of attack and defense are involved, the teacher is knowledgeable, and there is a great sage Wenzi who often lives in it and occasionally makes a cameo appearance.

As soon as the news spread, it attracted a young man.

The young man inquired all the way to find the Mo Academy, standing outside the door and was about to knock on the door, at this moment that Mo Zhai was teaching, the sound of ups and downs came out of the hall, knowing that the class had not yet ended, the young man stood on the side with his hands down, waiting for the end of the class, and at the same time listening carefully to the content of the lecture, although it was not very clear, but it could also capture one or two contents, and there was really real material. The lecture did not end until noon, and Mo Zhai walked out of the house, and the young man saw it and said, "But Mr. Mo Zhai, please meet Mr. Bird!" ”

Mo Zhai followed the sound and saw a person outside the wall door, so he went to open the door, but saw that the person was wearing a black linen coat and straw sandals. smiled and said: "It's Mo Zhai, I don't know what happened?" ”

The young man saw Mo Zhai and asked, and leaned over to the ground: "I heard that Mr. is talented in the market, and the teaching is exactly what I like, so I came to meet Mr. and hoped that Mr. would accept it." ”

When Mo Zhai heard this, he was very pleased, this was the first one to take the initiative to come to apprentice, so he stretched out his hand to help Yu Huali: "You can come, it means that you have the heart of the Tao, come in with me." ”

Yu Huali followed Mo Zhai to the inner hall of the school hall, Mo Zhai sat down and asked, "Tell me about yourself first." ”

The bird slippery stood with his hands down, very respectful, and said: "Student bird slippery, the ancestor came from the Qi State after the pipe, because of the trouble, moved to the Song State, this year is eighteen years old, at the age of fifteen came to Luoyi to visit the famous teacher, and then met the Confucian disciple Xia, with him to Xihe County to learn Confucianism. Confucianism for three years, although there is something gained, but in the personality does not match, now I heard that Mr. can teach the way of attack and defense, deeply in my heart, so come to apprentice, hope that Mr. agreed, the disciple will be sincere to the Tao! ”

Mo Zhai nodded: "Did you learn martial arts before?" ”

"Originally, I had to learn martial arts from my family, and then I got a different master Huang Yuanzi, and now I have entered the realm of medicine."

"Good!" Being able to pass it on from person to person shows that there is a great opportunity for the bird slippery, and it is passed on from Guan Zhong's lineage, the qualifications will not be bad, and the conduct will not be bad, Mo Zhai said, "You will enter my sect and be my chief true disciple, and study with other disciples first." ”

"Yes!" This bird was worried that Mo Zhai would reject him because he had studied Confucianism, but he didn't expect to agree, he was very happy, and leaned down and kowtowed, "Thank you Master for your grace!" ”

The treatment of this bird slippery is different from other disciples, those disciples can only call Mo Zhai a teacher, while a bird slippery can call Mo Zhai a master, the difference between this is obvious, the master is closer, and what he gets must be the true inheritance.

Since then, Yu Huali has stayed in the Mo Academy, serving Mo Zhai's left and right, listening to greetings at any time, listening carefully to lectures every day, whenever other disciples ask questions, he will listen carefully to the master's answers, but he never takes the initiative to ask questions.

It is getting closer and closer to the wedding day, on this day, a few carriages came from outside the door of the school, and a few people jumped off the car, it was Tengchong, Tengfei and Zimu, Xue Kui, Fuqiu, and Xiao Mengshan was followed by him, and Mengshan looked up at the big plaque on the door of the school, he was really excited, and ran straight over to push open the door, and shouted excitedly: "Teacher, we are here!" ”

Mo Zhai, who was teaching, heard the shout, hurriedly walked out of the house, and when he saw that it was Mengshan, he stepped forward, patted Mengshan's little brain, and said with a smile: "Mengshan is also here." Then greeted Tengchong and the others, and entertained them into the school, this Tengchong and the others saw that this school hall was bigger than the school in Qufu, and they applauded, Mo Zhai wanted to take them to rest for a while, but Tengchong said, "Uncle is here, I should see you first." Let Mo Zhai lead the way. That Zijian was also very happy when he saw Tengchong and the others, and he was happy to meet his old friends in another country, so he asked Mo Zhai to quickly prepare a banquet for them. Then he met Ji Ran, who knew that this was his son-in-law's team, and he was also very enthusiastic.

When they saw Ayu, these people greeted the master mother with the Momen salute, which was the wife of the Momen Juzi in the future. This time in advance, he was called "the main mother", and suddenly Ayu made a big red face, and he didn't know how to answer.

Mo Zhai saved the scene and brought a few people back to the study, and in the study, Teng Fei said with a smile: "Juzi is really a blessing, he has a fairy-like wife, I am really envious of me." ”

Mo Zhai glanced at him, "If your lady hears what you say, don't complain to me about the hard gravel, your knees can't stand it!" ”

As soon as these words came out, he suddenly choked and had nothing to say, and everyone laughed. But it turns out that these brothers have been married except for Mo Zhai, this Tengfei and his wife are very much in love, but there is a little, a little afraid of guilt, the lady is more vinegar, every time Tengfei only needs to look at other women a little more, if the lady knows, he will be furious. The lady also had a good way, and found some angular gravel, and let the Tengfei kneel on it and punish him. Every time he knelt on the gravel, he would limp to the school to complain, hoping to gain the sympathy of his brothers, but it backfired, causing everyone to laugh, lifting his robe to see the red and swollen knees.

There were only three days before the wedding, and Ji Ran took Ah Qing and Ah Yu's mother and daughter back to Luoyi, and used it as her mother's home, and the school hall was her mother-in-law's house.

At that time, weddings were subject to the "weekly rites".

The "Zhou Li" is complicated, the two sides need to accept the color before combining, the man asked the matchmaker to go to the woman to say peace, and then sent a messenger to the woman to propose to the woman as a courtesy, the wild goose is obedient to yin and yang, there are letters, indicating that the matchmaker is creditworthy, and the wild goose flies high in the sky, extremely difficult to obtain, the man sent the wild goose, indicating that the archery is superb and brave. In that aristocratic family, if there is no matchmaker, even if a man and a woman are consensual, it will be difficult to get married.

After the lottery needs to ask the name, the man sends a messenger to ask the woman about the basic information after the ceremony, such as the woman's name, ranking, date of birth, etc., asking the situation is conducive to divination and luck, with eight characters. Then you have to ask the name of the woman's biological mother to distinguish the concubine. The matchmaker asked each other with a wild goose in her hand, and after answering, the woman set up a banquet to entertain the matchmaker, and the woman's father sent her away.

After obtaining the woman's eight characters and name, it is convenient for the man to go to the ancestral temple to ask for good luck. If it is auspicious, then let the matchmaker take the wild goose to report the good news, this is Najib. If it's a murderer, that's the end of it.

Najib was followed by a bride price, called Nacai, and the bride price at that time was mainly based on "Xuanqi Bundle Silk" and "Lipi". The "Xuanqi Bundle" is three black and two red cloths, and the "Lipi" is a pair of deerskins.

After receiving the money, the man's family divined, chose an auspicious day, and then sent the matchmaker to take Hongyan to ask for the woman's consent and set the marriage date.

The final step is to welcome you. This welcome is the most important thing.

The first is to welcome the family, the man goes out at dusk, and puts a lot of items at home before going out, mainly candy and melon dishes. Then the male groom wears a "knight's dress", a light crimson black-edged "dress", and then takes a retinue wearing "Xuanduan" and drives a black paint car to the woman's house to marry the bride. Along the way, there are people in front of them with torches to lead the way, and behind the groom's car there are two slave cars and a wedding car for the bride. The convoy stopped at the woman's gate, and then waited for the woman to dress up, the wedding dress was a red-edged "pure clothes", standing in the room facing the south and waiting. The woman's father went out to pick up the groom into the door, the groom handed the wild goose with his own hands, the two sides saluted, and then the groom took the bride out and returned.

After that, the bride, the bride, the aunt, and the wife have to find their own positions, and they exchange rituals, and then the newlyweds eat the sacrifices together, symbolizing that both sides are equal in respect and humility, and support each other. Among them, the newlyweds want to eat the lungs and livers of cattle and sheep, vegetable sauce, meat sauce, millet millet, pork, etc., and the two of them first sacrifice millet and lungs, and then eat meat and vegetable meat sauce together, a total of three times, before it ends. After eating the sacrifices, the "Hop Ceremony" is held, a gourd is cut in half, and each side holds one to drink, and the drink is gargled three times, which is called a Hop Gou. After that, the leftover food of the newlyweds is removed. The bridegroom's leftovers were given to the woman's family to be swept away, and the bride's leftovers were given to the man's servants to feast on.

At the end of the feast, there is a cave room, and at that time the season is called to meet each other. The servants and servants prepare the marriage room for the bride and groom, and the bride and groom take off their dresses, and the groom's dress is given to the woman's person, and the bride's dress is given to the man's person. Then the red candle flickered, and the groom personally took off the "tassel" on the head of the bride, which was given to the woman by the man, and the bride used it to tie her hair after the engagement, and it could not be removed by the groom until she got married, which was a bit romantic. After that, the candles in the room are removed, the irrelevant people leave, and the woman's dowry waits at the door, waiting for them.

On the first day after marriage, the bride has to get up early, bathe neatly and neatly, and visit her in-laws in a neat and small dress, and the bride holds a basket in both hands, which contains a belly, dates, and chestnuts, and offers the dates to her grandfather, and gives her mother-in-law a palm, and her father-in-law has to touch the dates and get up to thank them, and the mother-in-law holds the cheeks to thank her. After that, the bride went out again, and when she came back, she held beef and pork in her hands, and served her in-laws for dinner, and the marriage was finally happy.
