Chapter 173: Apprenticeship with Kong Yingda
Li Chengqian was very happy, quite happy.
Cheng Chubi became Kong Yingda's disciple, so everyone is nominally a senior brother, in this case, wouldn't the Cheng family have to fall to themselves?
Even if the Cheng family doesn't fall to themselves, as long as Cheng Chubi falls to himself, it is also very good, you must know that Cheng Chubi is now known as the Tang Dynasty and the God of Wealth, and the things that have been done in just half a year are obvious to everyone.
Therefore, Li Chengqian is really happy, very happy.
As for Li Tai, he is also quite happy, why? He is also one of Kong Yingda's disciples! And his relationship with the literati has always been very good.
As for Li Ke's concubines, they are really unlucky, there is no way, who made them concubines?
Finally, the auspicious day of the zodiac for apprenticeship has finally arrived.
Early in the morning, the people in the Confucian Mansion got up, cleaned the courtyard of the Confucian Mansion, hung a red lantern at the door, and opened the door.
Kong Zhixuan, Kong Zhiyue, and Kong Zhiliang were waiting at the door early, and there were many people who came to watch the ceremony today, including the princes of the family, the royal family and some foreigners.
Today is a major event for the Kong family, and the Kong family has not been so lively for a long time. Although the three of them did not understand why their father allowed the son of a military man to enter the Confucian Gate, what the father did could not be wrong.
Lively, the whole Confucian Mansion was quite lively at first, and the people who came to watch the ceremony early, all of them were famous people in the Tang Dynasty, and the congratulatory gifts had already filled the treasury.
At noon, the people of the Cheng family finally came.
Cheng Biting Jin's Confucian clothes, combined with the fan-shaped steel needle beard, looks a little weird. Next to him, Cheng Chuhei and Cheng Chuliang also wore Confucian clothes, but the beard on that face didn't look like a Confucian student.
is Zhong Kui, although his face is dark and ugly, he still has a bit of literati temperament than the three of them.
This time, in addition to the people of the Cheng family, there were also some friends of Cheng Chubi, such as Zhong Kui, such as Shangguanyi, and the two brothers of the Wei Chi family.
Cheng Chubi is naturally dressed as a scholar, although it is a little thick, and the weather is a little hot, but he has to wear this kind of clothes, no way, today is a good day for everyone.
The so-called Six Rites Bundle is the six kinds of gifts with special meanings that students need to provide to the college or Mr. when they enter the school in ancient times.
It is ten pieces of bacon, and it is also bacon pork. Of course, in addition to bacon, there are celery, lotus seeds, red beans, dates, and longan.
Celery means diligent and studious, and good at diligence. When he saw celery, Cheng Chubi felt that he should make a plate of beef and fried celery, the taste was not ordinarily cool, but celery in this era was actually used for medicinal purposes. The lotus seed is bitter, which means painstaking education, the red bean means good luck and great exhibition, the red date is high school as soon as possible, and the longan means enlightenment and wisdom, and the merit is complete.
However, Cheng Chubi thinks that it would be even better to bring some mung beans or something, and cook a pot of eight-treasure porridge and send it again.
"Cheng Guogong, please inside, please inside." Kong Zhixuan hurriedly greeted him.
"Brother Kong, we will be our own family in the future, hahaha......" Cheng Biting Jin's big hand slapped on Kong Zhixuan's back, almost breaking up Kong Zhixuan, Cheng Biting Jin's hand strength is not ordinary.
"Inside, please, inside!"
"Father has been waiting for a long time, and Saburo asks to enter quickly."
Kong Zhiyue and Kong Zhiliang hurriedly came over and said.
"I've seen three senior brothers, I'll go in and meet the teacher now." Cheng Chubi hurriedly moved forward, even if he was unwilling, he had to pretend to be elated.
The costume of this Confucian Mansion is almost like a wedding, and red lanterns are hung everywhere.
"Do I want to learn art from a teacher, or do I want to marry into the Confucian family?" Cheng Chubi couldn't help but say, and at this time, the hall of the Kong family was already full of people.
Of course, everyone sat cross-legged and sat on the edge of the desk, and Cheng Chubi saw a lot of familiar figures, and also saw a lot of unfamiliar figures.
Kong Yingda received disciples, Li Chengqian and Li Tai all came, in addition to them, there were some officials of the Tang Dynasty, who were also Confucian disciples, and in addition to this, they also saw a lot of foreign countries, which are estimated to be the missions of certain countries.
The countries around Datang regard Datang as their suzerain, and every year they send people to bring some local products, Li Shimin is happy, and a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, grain and cloth are given to them, which is simply getting rich overnight.
On both sides, there were groups of people who came to watch the ceremony, and the Confucian family festival was not so lively.
"The auspicious time has come, and you can salute." Yan Zhitui, who was sitting next to him, said with a slight smile.
"Meet the Master!" Cheng Chubi stepped forward, respectfully bowed as a disciple, and then sent his apprenticeship sticker.
"Good, good, good." Kong Yingda said with a slight smile, and at this time, someone next to him came over with a cup of tea and handed it to Cheng Chubi.
Cheng Chubi took it, and then handed it to Kong Yingda.
Kong Yingda nodded, took it, and took a sip slowly.
Then he looked at Cheng Chubi and said: "From today on, you are a disciple of our Confucian Sect, since you want to become a Confucian person, you should naturally know the history of our Confucian Sect, the Confucian family is from Fuxi, and the surname Feng was originally ......" Kong Yingda gushed out his family history.
The village chiefs of the Wa Kingdom in later generations always claim to be what they are, in fact, the real Wanshi family should be the Confucian family, from the mythical era of Fuxi to the last Yan Shenggong, although there are some breaks, but it is indeed a line of ten thousand generations.
Cheng Chubi knelt down and listened to it, it was really shaky, obviously quite helpless, and he had been waiting for the past of this ceremony in his heart.
After saying that his mouth was dry, Kong Yingda gave Cheng Chubi the Four Books and Five Classics, and then took Cheng Chubi to read it, and this apprenticeship was barely completed.
From now on, Cheng Chubi will be regarded as Kong Yingda's disciple.
The people present seemed to be very happy, especially Cheng Biting Jin, with an extremely bright smile on his face, his family has finally returned to Confucianism, and the Cheng family will finally be a scholarly family in the future.
The Cheng family began with Cheng Yu, who was a famous figure and a model among scholars, although most of the people in the Cheng family later joined the army, but there was indeed a little bit of arrogance among the scholars.
Cheng Yanjin knew that it was impossible for him to become a scholar in his life, but several children in his family were all considered scholars, and now he became a scholar in the name of righteousness.
Disciples of the direct descendants of Confucius, who dares to say that the Cheng family is not a scholarly family?
Cheng Yu, a famous strategist of the Three Kingdoms. Celebrities. Newcomers and new books, everyone supports a lot~
