Chapter 9: The Gift of Bondage

After listening to Li Yuze's words, her mother seemed to see her father's appearance back then, and said: "I don't know whether teaching you knowledge and truth is a blessing or a curse, but my mother just wants you to understand that you belong to yourself."

"Mother, since my daughter has decided to enter the country to supervise her studies, she will definitely protect herself, you must not worry, when I am not there, you must take good care of yourself, and I will go home every time I have a holiday."

"Since I was a child, I have no power to change your decisions, since you have made up your mind, when you go to the country, you must not let anyone know that you are a daughter, you must respect the teacher and abide by the etiquette, self-respect and self-love."

After listening to his mother's advice, Li Yuze nodded vigorously and said, "Well, well......" At this time, tears had already burst out of her eyes.

Han Hui returned to the Feng Mansion and saw the old lady lying on the bed, Feng Yandao personally sat on the edge of the bed to feed the medicine, only to know the reason why Feng Yandao left first, after Lang Zhong's diagnosis, fortunately, the old lady's illness is not a big problem, just need to recuperate for a few days.

The apprenticeship ceremony held by Guozijian was extremely grand, and all kinds of people seemed to be busy, and it was a beautiful day, and the Confucian students of Xinna each took their own luggage and enrolled according to the process.

First of all, the student register was registered, and then the volunteer students led the new Confucian students to the dormitory, put their luggage away, and finally the academic officer led them to visit every part of the Guozijian, including the Doctor's Hall, the Confucian Temple, the Lecture Hall, the Shixi Hall, the canteen, the library, the storage warehouse, the shooting garden, the stadium, etc.

"This senior brother, I am Li Yuze, a new Confucian student of the Four Sects, where is my dormitory?" Li Yuze followed behind a student and asked curiously.

"Your dormitory is in Xizhai, you are number one hundred and eight, you should live in the twenty-fifth room of Xizhai, yes, that's right!"

"Yours? Isn't it one room per person? ā€

"One room for one person? I'm afraid that this benevolent brother thinks too much, you new Confucian students can only live in the four-person Xizhai, and the two-person room in the Dongzhai is now full of Tai students and Guozi students, as for one person and one room, only a few powerful sons are qualified to live, so don't think about it. ā€

Li Yuze followed behind his senior brother, asked all the way about the Guozijian, and came to Xizhai after a while. When she came to Xizhai, Li Yuze gave a thank you gift to her senior brother who led her, and then went to the dormitory with her luggage. When she entered, she found that there was no one, and she immediately felt a lot more relaxed, but when she placed her luggage, just as she was about to go out, three people immediately rushed in - Ouyang Tong, Su Muqing and Han Hui.

"What? How could it be you? When Li Yuze saw Han Hui, he was surprised, and his face was very ugly.

Han Huo was also surprised when he saw that Li Yuze was willing to come to Guozi to supervise his studies, but he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Your application must have been rejected, it's really a narrow road, I didn't expect you to come, let alone that you would live in the same dormitory as me." ā€

"First of all, I am not enemies with you, and secondly, there are other Confucian students in this dormitory."

After Li Yuze finished speaking, he walked out of the dormitory with his sleeves brushed up.

After Li Yuze left, only Han Hui, Su Muqing and Ouyang Tong were left in the dormitory, and after they each placed their belongings, they didn't say a word to each other, only Ouyang Tong asked Su Muqing: "May I ask this benevolent brother, which side of this sleeping mat should be on the ground?" ā€

Su Muqing only cared about laying out his futon and ignored him, while Han Huo casually laid it out and left the dormitory, Ouyang Tong had to temporarily put down the sleeping mat and futon in his hand, and also got up and left the dormitory.

According to the admission procedure, the scholar led the new Confucian students to visit the Guozijian. With the explanation of the scholar all the way, the Neo-Confucian students were full of curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, especially Li Yuze, who listened to the explanation of the scholar all the way, of course, there were also those who disdained it, such as Han Hui and Su Muqing.

Before the New Confucian students worship the teacher, the representatives of the Guozi Sacrifice Wine, the Priest, the Doctor, the Teaching Assistant and the Guozi Xuetai students will first explain the memorial ceremony, and the participants are all wearing ceremonial clothes, because the emperor or the crown prince does not attend, the scale of the memorial ceremony is small, but the grandeur is not reduced.

After the funeral, the teaching assistants of the four doctoral degrees began to accept the gift of the new Confucian students.

"Dr. Su, the Binding Ceremony is about to begin, why don't you go?"

"If you apprentice, you have to apprentice well, what kind of restraint is giving gifts."

"You're right, but the etiquette of restraint is a etiquette rule, and this is also the first class to teach new Confucian students, learn to respect teachers, of course, that is also a little bit of Confucian thought."

It turned out that after the funeral, Dr. Su Derong of Simen Xue was unwilling to accept the gifts of Confucian scholars, and before he started, he returned to the Doctor Hall to hide, so Kong Yingda asked Dr. Zhu Changcai of Simen to persuade him, but Su Derong has always adhered to his principles, and Zhu Changcai saw that he was not moved by his own words, so he resorted to a killer move.

"Are you going or not? If you don't go, you don't respect the Confucian scholars, and you don't want to go, so I have to let the sacrificial wine persuade you. ā€

After Zhu Changcai finished speaking, he turned around to leave, but he didn't take a step, because he knew that Su Derong would definitely be persuaded by himself.

"You're right, am I?"

"Whether you go or not, it's just that you're calculated."

"Okay, okay, I'm throwing in the towel."

"Haha...... That's right, when the Confucian scholars do the ritual of restraint, they don't bow to us separately, you must accept this heart, but you can not have a gift. ā€

Su Derong has always been not afraid of anyone and anything, and even he dared to openly violate the etiquette regulations, but he was only afraid of Kong Yingda, because what he couldn't stand the most was Kong Yingda's preaching, and obviously Zhu Changcai had seized his weakness.

The new Confucian scholars did not all perform the same gifts, among which the children of the nobles offered to the teachers were mostly silk horses, and there were also a few valuables, and generally the Confucian students gave silk horses and some symbolic dates, lotus seeds and dried meat, etc., and the doctors and teaching assistants gave encouragement after receiving the gifts.

Han Hui sent brushes, including the Zihao Hu pen that competed with Princess Linchuan in Xishi, Ouyang Tong sent jerky, and Su Muqing didn't send anything, in order to avoid embarrassment in the process of restraining the gift, he jumped directly to Li Yuze.

Li Yuze prepared the wine brewed by his mother herself, and when she presented it to the teachers, Su Derong was immediately attracted when she saw that it was wine, so he said to everyone present: "The gift given by this Confucian student was created by his mother's labor, which is not expensive, not cheap, neither humble nor arrogant, and is in line with the golden mean, which is very good." ā€

The doctors and teaching assistants present all laughed when they heard Su Derong say this, they must have guessed that Su Derong's alcohol addiction must have been committed.

Only the four doctors and teaching assistants who participated in the ceremony of bondage, of course, there were also Kong Yingda and Siye Wang Tan, the rest of whom were not present, and Li Nanfeng, the supervisor of the country, sorted out the school books of the new Confucian students in the room, and wrote it in small letters, when the last page was left, he put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked outside, and said to himself: "At this time, the ceremony should be over!" So he took the book and the transcription, got up and left the room.
