Chapter Twenty-Nine: Luo Yan's Apprenticeship
Just when Luo Yan was all ready, there was also such a rumor in Chang'an City, Assistant Teacher Lu, who had not accepted disciples for many years, was going to accept closed disciples for the first time in a few days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, the closed disciple was not said by Lu Deming himself, but it can't stop people's speculation.
How old is Master Lu this year? It's over seventy. Although people who want to be Lu Fuzi's disciples can line up five or six times around Chang'an City, Lu Fuzi hasn't let go for many years. It's already good to be able to barely teach a student to teach Guozixue, but now he actually says that he wants to accept a disciple?
Then the question came. Whose child does this old master Lu want to accept as a disciple?
That's the point. With Master Lu's reputation in Shilin, if a child of any family can become a disciple of Old Master Lu, then this family can at least be upgraded to a scholarly family, not to mention anything else. But Lu Fuzi was tight-lipped and did not disclose any news related to the acceptance of disciples until now.
There are one or two people in the secretary province who know about it, but these people naturally don't get into trouble, so when Luo Yan was boiling in Chang'an City, he could still nest in the secretary province leisurely.
How many days can you have in a decade? When Luo Yan finished the task and prepared the bundle and the apprenticeship post, the day of the apprenticeship ceremony had also arrived.
Before dawn, Luo Yan got up to bathe and change clothes. In order to show his spirit on this special day, Luo Yan also took a day off to visit a lot of ready-to-wear shops, found a light green gown, and bought a silk ribbon of the same color by the way. After this bath and change, it's not over, at least the whole person's clothes have to be checked.
The door of the Kaihuafang opened very early, Luo Yan hastily ate, and rushed to Lufu with the bundle and apprenticeship.
This is the second time I have come to Lu Deming's house, and I am a little nervous when I stand at the door. I guess this is what is said to be "today is different from the past". Shaking his head and taking a few deep breaths, Luo Yan calmed down and stepped forward to knock on the door.
This time, the porter finally didn't have to report, opened the door and saw that it was Luo Yan, with a smile on his face: "It's Luo Xianggong, please come in, the master has already instructed, from now on, you don't need to report when you come, just go in directly." The old man had just had morning tea at this time, and he was waiting for Luo Xianggong in the study. ”
Luo Yan was also moved, Old Master Lu was really concerned about accepting himself as a disciple, and he didn't know what was good about him.
After entering the door, Luo Yan thought of Lu Deming very respectfully and saluted, and then said: "I haven't seen you for ten years, the teacher is in Guozi Xue, and the kid knows it in the secretary province." ”
"Haha, you have to know, if you want to be famous, it's not so simple, the old man doesn't let those naughty little monkeys suffer all day long, how can this Chang'an City be so lively now. However, you will have to suffer in the future. Ever since I said that I didn't write those three articles, the little monkeys of the family have been clamoring to find the culprit and make him look good. ”
"Teacher, is it really good for you to pit students like this? With my small body, I really can't stand the three punches and two kicks of those guys. When the time comes, you finally accepted a disciple, and you were disabled, and you can't get over your face. Luo Yan listened to Lu Deming's words, and felt so bitter in his heart. At any time, the two attributes of the second generation of officials and the bear child are superimposed, and the destructive power produced is amazing. Thinking that he was dragged into the alley and punched and kicked, Luo Yan's back suddenly felt cold, and he hurriedly asked his teacher for help.
Old Master Lu replied angrily: "There is a teacher, what are you afraid of." Use your brain, when will we and other literati be compared to martial arts in peacetime. ”
Luo Yan secretly complained to himself, you are not afraid because no one dares to touch a big Confucian like you, I am a pawn, and it is not easy for those second-generation bear children to play with me.
Seeing Luo Yan's crying face, Lu Deming also said helplessly: "I'll scare you, today the old man accepted you as a disciple, those leather monkeys are too late to stammer you, how can they give you a good look." I want to know how you wrote that Tarzan collapsed and changed color. When this apprenticeship is over, copy your manuscripts a hundred times and practice your Qi cultivation Kung Fu well. ”
Now Luo Yan is completely sad, a hundred times, how many days do you have to copy this, it is really enough to nourish your qi. But he couldn't resist, so Luo Yan had no choice but to answer yes.
The apprenticeship began at the beginning of the Chenshi, and the deacon was an old man whom Luo Yan did not know.
As a Confucian student, he naturally respects Confucius, so the first item of the apprenticeship is to pay homage to the statue of Confucius. The apprenticeship was held in Lu Deming's study, and the statue of Confucius was actually taken from another place for temporary use. At this time, there was no god-like worship of Confucius.
After worshipping Confucius, the second item is for the disciples to bow to the teacher.
For Luo Yan, who has never experienced the apprenticeship ceremony, the feeling of curiosity is more. Anyway, the deacon said he would do what he did, and Luo Yan didn't have to think too much. The rest of the mind is devoted to observation.
Except for a few people from the Qin Wangfu who had seen it before, there were only two people who didn't know the deacon himself. I don't think I'm a lonely person. I can only wait until the end of the apprenticeship ceremony to be completed, and Lu Fuzi introduced it.
Since Luo Yan is free to be an orphan, Kong Yingda will read the apprenticeship post on behalf of Luo Yan's parents. Everyone there listened to this with their ears tilted. The content of the apprenticeship post indirectly reflects the author's level and intention. Fortunately, Luo Yan discussed with Mr. Zhao for two or three days for this, and naturally the content he wrote made these people present nod.
The next step is the disciple's offering of tea and the teacher's gift of tokens.
In fact, this apprenticeship ceremony is a procedure, so the two links of offering tea and giving tokens are very fast.
It is worth mentioning that it is a token given by Old Master Lu.
It was a copy of the Analects that he had annotated. As the only book in the Nine Classics that records the words and deeds of Confucius, Lu Deming's intention to give it to Luo Yan is also obvious, that is, to let Luo Yan remember his words and continue to learn for the sake of the saints. These words were said by Lu Deming in front of many spectators when he presented the tokens, so naturally Luo Yan didn't need to think more about the meaning, he just needed to do it.
The apprenticeship ends with the deacon's "salute".
Then the old master Lu Deming began to introduce three people to Luo Yan that he didn't know.
The deacon is Yu Shinan. Luo Yan wanted to faint with some happiness, who is Yu Shinan? The great calligrapher of the early Tang Dynasty, the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. However, it stands to reason that Yu Shinan had already joined the Qin Wangfu at this time, why hadn't he seen it some time ago.
As if he had seen through Luo Yan's question, Lu Deming said with a smile: "Yu Ji Room is quiet and unwanted by nature, and it is not what we like to be lively. If it weren't for me accepting disciples today, I'm afraid he would have to nest in his study. ”
Lu Deming's explanation did not arouse Yu Shinan's disgust, but instead smiled approvingly: "Brother Lu still knows me." I have also read Luo Xiaoyou's article, and it is also a good fortune that Brother Lu can accept Luo Xiaoyou as a disciple. ”
Lu Deming, who said this, rolled his eyes for a while: "I still took advantage of the co-authoring." ”
Yu Shinan didn't reply, just kept laughing.
After that, Lu Deming pulled Luo Yan in front of the two strangers who were watching the ceremony: "This is Yan Shigu, and now he is a member of the Zhongshu House, if he hadn't taken a break today, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to invite me to save face." There is also this, Gao Shilian, the uncle of the eldest grandson princess. A few days ago, he was appointed by His Majesty to govern Yongzhou. ”
Who is Yan Shigu Luo Yan also checked the "Book of Tang" in his head, so he is also very respectful to this person. As for Gao Shilian, this is amazing, you don't need to read Luo Yan to know this. He has already been sent to Yongzhou after joining the Tang Dynasty, which is Li Shimin's territory. This shows how much Li Shimin trusts this person. So I hurried to see a salute.
After the apprenticeship, it is natural that a wine banquet is indispensable. However, everyone didn't have to go to the restaurant outside, Old Master Lu had already prepared a family banquet.
After the dish was served, they simply ate a little, and everyone discussed Luo Yan's article. Except for Yan Shigu, who did not explicitly defect to Li Shimin, everyone else here is Li Shimin's team. Of these eighteen bachelors, seven of them came at once today.
The first person to mention Luo Yan's article was Yan Shigu.
As a member of the Zhongshu House, major edicts such as military affairs and government affairs were all issued by him, so he naturally spent a lot of time with Li Yuan every day. During the banquet, when Li Yuan was full of praise for the three articles that Lu Deming took out, Lu Deming said to Yan Shigu proudly: "Many people are asking if those articles were written by me, and I have repeatedly explained that I did not write them. Today, the author is sitting in the middle of the table, so guess who it is? ”
At this time, Yan Shigu glanced around with interest, and finally nailed his eyes to the Gai brothers.
Although Yu Zhining and Li Xuandao are the most likely, with Lu Deming's sale of Guanzi, it is naturally impossible. If the rest of Kong Yingda wrote it himself, why let Lu Deming do it. As for Yu Shinan and Gao Shilian, one of these two personalities is not the kind of person who can make it lively, and the other has not been in Chang'an for a few days, so the time is not right. As for Luo Yan, Yan Shigu didn't think about it at all.
Then the rest is left with the Gai brothers. These two people are from Confucianism, and they are also well-read, and they have followed King Qin in the past two years, and they have grown a lot of knowledge, so I am afraid that they are one of the two brothers.
Seeing Yan Shigu set his eyes on himself, the Gai brothers smiled bitterly, and then took the initiative to speak: "If it is said that my two brothers wrote it, then you will really lose." My brother wanted to write it, but he couldn't. Thinking about how many years I have been studying, I can only say that I am lucky enough to read such an article, but I don't even have the heart of jealousy. ”
Everyone laughed: "If you say such things when you are young, then won't I be ashamed to death." ”
The laughter made Yan Shigu set his eyes on the most unlikely person, and then turned his eyes to ask Lu Deming.
looked at Lu Deming with a smug smile. Yan Shigu was stunned, this was actually true.
