Chapter 139: Xuanzhong

Liu Ji explained to Ma Du with a smile, "The crown ceremony began in the Zhou Dynasty, and the crown ceremony for men at the age of twenty can be early. By the time of the Han Dynasty, it was already very popular, regardless of the scholars. After the Wei and Jin dynasties, it gradually became abandoned, and the Wuhu Chaos was in turmoil before the time, and the rites and music collapsed, and they were once abolished and not used.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Han family etiquette was restored, but the style of crown ceremony had weakened, and even many courtiers did not know what the crown ceremony was. In the Song Dynasty, Sima Wengong felt that people were cold, and the man did not know the way of adulthood, had no responsibility, and gave birth to a child like drinking milk...... The age was reduced to 13 years old by simplifying the crown ceremony in the Shuyi, and later raised the age to 15 years in the Zhuzi Family Motto. You're seventeen years old, and it's just right to do the crown ceremony! ”

Lao Zhu laughed again, and pointed at Ma Du and said: "Giving birth to a child is like drinking milk, hahaha......" Lao Zhu really didn't let go of any opportunity to hit Ma Du.

Since settling in Fangshan, Ma Du has found a few milk-producing goats, not only to drink for himself, but also for his family, of course, with the exception of the old loach, he said that he is still panicking at such an age. Unexpectedly, Lao Zhu even knew this, and took it out to ridicule him.

Although Ma Du's face is not as thick as the corners of the city wall, he will not blush because of this, "The younger brother didn't give birth to a son, and besides, I drank goat's milk and not human milk, so I can't count." The younger brother drinks milk also to strengthen his body, and when his body is good, he can work well for his brother-in-law! ”

"Haha...... I love to hear this, and I see that without this crown gift, it really didn't work in vain, and it worked so quickly. ”

Ma Du said again: "Brother-in-law, the younger brother thinks that you can also let Biao'er and a few of them drink a bowl of goat's milk every day, don't give them big fish and meat every day, it's not good for your health." “

"Forget it, it's not good for you to be embarrassed alone, and you have to pull up a few of your nephews!" Lao Zhu scoffed at Ma Du's proposal, and exchanged glances with the guards beside him, "The guards brought a package over, "Give it to him!" ”

Ma Du put it on the table and opened it, it turned out to be a new set of official uniforms, the crimson silk was bright and bright, it was very good-looking, a bundle to be strapped, a black yarn with two long hat wings, a typical Song Dynasty official uniform, after all, Yingtian is a big "Song" world.

Lao Zhu took out a bronze official seal from his waist and put it aside, "From today on, you will be the supervisor of the Firearms Bureau." ”

"Isn't the younger brother a servant of the Privy Council?"

Lao Zhu made a straight face, "It's really a command arrow to give you a chicken feather!" ”

Xu Da also persuaded: "This is a real fourth grade, and it was promoted by the prince unusually, I don't know how much better than your empty title." ”

"Well, thank you for your love. But this official name sounds like a eunuch official! ”

Lao Zhu shook his head and sighed: "Nonsense! This official uniform was made for you by your sister, you have to take care of it. After changing your clothes, let's take us to test the gun. ”

Sure enough, he didn't come specifically to celebrate his birthday, it turned out that he came to test the cannon, and it seems that Jiao Yu has already polished the cannon.

Ma Du changed into his official uniform, and everyone was about to leave, but Liu Ji said: "The prince still has an important thing to do, you haven't given Ma Jian Zheng a word yet." ”

"Really! Hehe......" Lao Zhu twisted his beard and thought about the time of a cup of tea, and suddenly said: "Xuanzhong!" In the future, the word of Ah Di will be called Xuanzhong, the "Xuan" of heaven and earth Xuanhuang, and the "heavy" of light and heavy. Okay, let's go test the gun! As he spoke, he hurried out of the gate.

Heavy? What does a bird mean? Ma Du felt that it was like a term in the later generations of Xianxia. Ma Du walked two steps quickly to catch up with Liu Ji, and whispered: "Mr. Liu, slow down, I have something to ask for advice below." ”

Liu Ji said with a smile: "Ma Jian Zheng wants to ask the prince why he gave you the word!" ”

"Exactly! Precisely! Mr. Liu must understand the meaning of the rich five cars, and ask Mr. for advice, otherwise he can only ask the prince with a cheeky face, and he will be scolded by him for not learning and not knowing. ”

"Of course, the words are not taken randomly, and the words given by the prince are from yourself."

"From me?" Ma Du spread his hands and looked himself to the side, really confused, "Sir, don't play dumb riddles for me, tell me quickly." ”

"Okay, you have a strange background and are proficient in Qimen miscellaneous, so you are called 'Xuanye'."

Ma Du was a little unhappy, as if everything else except for Confucianism was a sideshow, "I don't know anything about strange and miscellaneous studies, what I learn is mainly arithmetic and Gewu, and what I explore is the mysterious truth between heaven and earth." "Zhizhi is in Gewu, and then Zhizhi is from the "Book of Rites", Gewu Zhizhi is also your Confucian words, but your last pursuit is the rule of man, I explore physics, the goal is different, but the path is the same......"

Ma Du Xianxue Xianmai just said a few words, but Liu Ji interrupted him stiffly, and he said with a straight face: "What are you Confucians, since you have studied with Song Lian, then you are a Confucian disciple." Don't talk nonsense to people in the future, beware of being treated as an alternative and have nowhere to go. His voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely heavy.

Ma Du couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, and found that he had indeed committed a big taboo. In the future, the world will be the world of the Zhu family, but it is Confucianism who governs the country.

Even though Lao Zhu treats them as pigs and dogs, and kills them when he says he kills, he still has to use them after all, and the Ming Dynasty still uses the Confucian monarchs, ministers, fathers, sons, and sons.

Ma Du labeled himself in a stupid winter, telling others that I am different from you readers, and it is strange that I will not be targeted and excluded in the future.

When Lao Zhu was in Poyang Lake, he knew that he rejected Confucianism, but Lao Zhu and Ma Dajia must let themselves study with Song Lian, could it be that they gave him the identity of a Confucian disciple?

Seeing that Ma Du was silent, Liu Ji grinned, "It's very smart, it seems that you understand the good intentions of the prince and princess." ”

Liu Ji pointed to a wheat field surrounded by ridges on the side of the road, "You can grow wheat here, and when you harvest the wheat, you can also grow rice, and you can also plant the kind of sweet potatoes with a very high yield that you brought, but you can't plant them outside the ridges, otherwise you won't be able to feed them." ”

In the end, it is a master, I have to say that what Liu Ji said is still very reasonable, Ma Du arched his hand, "Thank you Mr. for mentioning it, Ma has been taught." By the way, Mr. hasn't said how to explain the 'heavy'. ”

"The word 'heavy' is based on the 'degree' in your name."

In Ma Du's eyes, these two words can form a simple word at most, and I really can't think of any other profound connections, "Please sir." ”

"degrees, and then know the length and short. Have you ever heard that? ”

"Yes. Then the prince should give me the word 'Xuanchang' or 'Xuan'short'. Oh! I understand! right, and then know the severity. degree, and then know the length and short. The prince wants me to know the severity, right? ”

These two sentences were learned as famous sayings in later generations, and I also saw these two sentences when Song Lian read Mencius, so I was very impressed.

"Sort of." Liu Ji was actually saying in his heart, "Rotten wood can't be carved, Brother Song is really difficult for you!" ”

Oh, Lao Zhu is beating me, Xuanzhong is Xuanzhong, fortunately, there is no Xuanxiao, otherwise it is difficult to find a wife!
