Chapter 129: The Scholar Greets

Thanks to YY for the tip!

……

And the competitive father Zhao Ying also made a request to Zhao Wuxian: he must win the big shooting salute!

Because of the winner, after the autumn, he can enter the Yuqi Palace to accompany the monarch, or for the black-clothed palace armor, or for the auxiliary sacrifice.

The current Marquis of Jin is a young monarch who has just been crowned, and he has a close relationship with the Zhi family, and he is not indifferent to other secretaries. This is natural, and no one will have a good face for a group of courtiers who are trying to dig their own corners every day.

Zhao Wuxian remembered that in the original history, because of his poor relationship with the Marquis of Jin, the Zhao family was controlled everywhere in the Liuqing Rebellion, and was subjected to many black hands by the Zhi family. What if he could get close to the Marquis of Jin and improve the relationship between the Zhao family and the monarch a little?

After all, on the surface, Zhao Ying is still very loyal to the country, and he did his best in the rebellion of Prince Ping's dynasty and the meeting of the Summoning Tomb. He was very enthusiastic about seeking hegemony for Jin, and in this regard, he threw off Fan Ying and Zhongxingyin, who were "unjust".

Of course, this is only above the court, secretly, the old Zhao family has not dug into the corners of the Jin Kingdom, after all, the six kings are competing with each other, just like the six battles are contending, and if the forces do not advance, they will retreat.

On the other hand, as long as the Marquis of Jin agrees, it will be much easier for the Zhao family to rescue Le Qi.

In the past, I was just passing by, looking up at the tall walls and gatehouses of the Qiqi Palace. His father-in-law, Le Qi, is under house arrest, and if he can enter the Qi Palace smoothly, I don't know if he can visit him.

……

In the official office area, there were already Zhang's erectors waiting outside, leading Zhao Wuxian's car to turn around two alleys and enter a southerly Lilu.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, we pay attention to the etiquette of meeting scholars, and when we visit for the first time, there is a set of strict etiquette system, and we must not be sloppy at all.

Theoretically, Zhao Wuxian, as the concubine of the emperor, has a higher status than Zhang Mengtan, the concubine of the doctor, and he should have taken the initiative to come to the door. But Zhao Wuxian wanted to make friends with friendship, and he owed him a favor, so he had to deign to visit.

In fact, in the past two months, the two have exchanged many times in brochures, saying that they are going to visit, and Zhang Mengtan has repeatedly refused. After resigning three times, he was officially invited to his home to talk about chess.

"Politeness" is something that the Chinese have been paying attention to since the Yin Zhou era.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian's hair was neatly combed today, tied with a dark brocade belt, and draped over his shoulders. Wearing a black and white gentleman's hunting pattern deep coat, a leather belt around the waist, a white jade ring of red brocade and yellow spikes on the bottom, and stepping on Ge cloth shoes.

This has the dress of a bandit gentleman, how formal and formal it is.

Zhou Li stipulates that the meeting ceremony: "Lonely and silky, Qing is holding the lamb, the doctor is holding the goose, the scholar is holding the pheasant, the common man is holding the horse, and the industry and commerce are holding the chicken". In later generations, Chinese people would bring gifts when visiting relatives and friends, and this is how they came.

Zhao Wuxian has no position yet, and he is regarded as a doctor on weekdays, while Zhang Mengtan, as the eldest son of Zhang's family, is regarded as a scholar. Therefore, when Zhao Wuxian came to the door, he could not hold the goose, but the pheasant, and treated Zhang Mengtan with the specifications of a scholar.

Gifts for the priests, live pheasants in winter and dried pheasants in summer. The pheasant, that is, the wild rooster, is taken from its meaning of "having a good time".

Now it is the height of summer, and meat is not easy to preserve, so it is necessary to send air-dried pheasants, that is, "倨" to make gifts. This "倨" was beaten by Zhao Wuxian's messenger on the mountain half a month ago, pickled and dried, tied with silk cloth and sewn clothes, and tied his feet with ropes.

Wuxian got off the bus outside Zhang's Lilu Gate, because his status was higher than Zhang Mengtan's, so he didn't need to hold the pheasant with his own hands along the way, but could hand it over to his entourage.

Zhao Wuxian came to Xinjiang today, and the entourage he brought with him was a well from a savage. Jing is cautious and low-key, and he is currently a pawn, and he has gradually gained the respect of Zhao Wuxian.

He asked Jing to walk down the street with a pheasant in his arms, and the children of the scholars who passed by in the alley looked at him, and recognized his son's dress, and knew that he was going to visit relatives and friends, and saluted one after another, and talked to each other:

Within one day, Zhang Meng was able to get two sons to visit him in person...... It's remarkable. ”

Wuxian followed Zhang's erection and walked to an alley, but the first to arrive was the courtyard of the Tonglu doctor's family.

The old acquaintance Le Fuli was dressed up neatly and waited outside the door of his house, he and Zhao Wuxian had become the hardcore of fighting and being punished together, so naturally there was no need to be modest and courteous too much.

Seeing that Le Fu was limping from walking, Zhao Wuxian smiled playfully: "I haven't seen you for two months, but the fun has decreased a lot." ”

Le Fuli smiled disapprehantly, if it weren't for Zhao Wuxian sending someone to Tongyu to intercede with his father, he would probably be cleaned up even worse.

The reason why he waited here was because, in theory, he wanted to serve as a "medium" for Zhao Wuxian and Zhang Mengtan to meet.

The poem says: "I am in a bad time, and my son has no good plan." "In the Spring and Autumn Period, not only do men and women need a medium for marriage contracts, but also formal visits and friends, regardless of whether the two know each other before.

"Zhao Zi, please."

He walked half a step behind Wuxian, and then leaned over slightly and said, "I heard that the gentleman is going to visit Zhang Zi today, so Wei Ju also came over to join in the fun, and now he has entered Zhang's mansion." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Wuxian was stunned, what did that guy who pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger do?

After walking two steps, next to the courtyard of the Tongyu doctor's house, it was Zhang's mansion in Xinjiang.

Compared with the palatial Doctor Le's mansion, Zhang's mansion is a little shabby, and the open door is only painted with a layer of paint.

In all dynasties, the Zhang clan held the position of "Hou Xiang" of the Zhao army, which was responsible for the vanguard troops, reconnaissance of the enemy situation and exploration of the terrain. Zhang Mengtan's father is now going south with Zhao Ying, so the family should be headed by the eldest son Zhang Mengtan.

Sure enough, Zhang Mengtan was also wearing a crescent white deep robe, wearing Yujue, with his hands in his wide sleeves, and waiting respectfully outside the door.

The subordinates of Zhang's Mansion had been waiting on tiptoe for a long time, only Zhang Mengtan was still unhurried, and after seeing Zhao Wuxian and his party turn around the alley and appear, they slowly descended the steps.

Under the "recommendation" of Le Fuli, Zhao Wuxian also cleaned up his clothes and stepped forward.

According to the process, his lines are like this: "Yu Jiu wanted to see Zhang Zi, but no one communicated." Today, Lezi conveyed Zhang Zi's intentions, so Yu came to the door. ”

As the host, Zhang Mengtan's reply was: "Le Zi was destined to go to the meeting, but the gentleman deigned to come first." Please return home and meet you in the next general. ”

After a few pushes and greetings, Zhang Mengtan went down the steps and bowed twice, and Zhao Wuxian bowed slightly.

After bowing and getting up, Zhang Mengtan pressed his right hand with his left hand, hid his hand in his sleeve, put it on his forehead, and bent down towards Xun Zhen. After the salute, he straightened up, and at the same time raised his eyebrows again with his hands, and then put them down. This is a process of the host's bow.

Zhang Meng talked about it, and entered from the east, Zhao Wuxian took the dried pheasant from the well, held it in both hands, and entered from the west. Entering the court, the two stood still, and the pheasant head of the shirtless envoy turned to the left, and presented it to Zhang Mengtan as a gift.

The reason why the pheasant cannot be sent in the hall is because the monarch is honored in the hall, and the scholar cannot be compared to the monarch.

Zhang Mengtan thanked him again and again, and finally accepted it, and thanked Zhao Wuxian for his condescending visit.

This is a set of etiquette for the host to welcome guests and the guests to salute, and at this point, it has finally come to an end.

Zhao Wuxian sighed, his heart was too cumbersome and complicated.

However, it is also a way for people in this era to express their solemnity in making friends, and if they do not intersect, they can "die for you" like a pheasant!

After this process, the relationship between the two became closer, and Zhang Mengtan invited Zhao and Le to enter the room.

A banquet has been set up in the hall, with a total of four cases and four seats.

Wei Ju had indeed arrived, he was wearing a dark crimson coat, and he was sitting at the head of the guest seat on the west side.

Seeing Zhao Wuxian and the others coming in, Wei Ju got up to greet him, showed a sincere smile, and said hypocritically: "Zhao Zi made a big fuss in Xinjiang City two months ago and beat up the Fan family's officials, why didn't he call us?" Ju can't wait to see Zhao Zi, so he came here to bother, Zhao Zi won't blame me? ”

Zhao Wuxian was hehehe, but on the surface, he could only make a false promise, the purpose of Wei Ju's coming here today, he had already guessed that he was not far from ten.

He secretly said in his heart: "In the original history, Zhang Mengtan also belonged to Zhao Xiangzi, and talents were already scarce, you Wei Shizi, eating Lu Xing and Ling Hubo in the bowl, but still looking at Zhang Mengtan in the pot, actually came to fight with me?" How unreasonable! ”

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for Sanjiang tickets......
