Chapter 417: The Origin of Kong Carp's Name

Fang Jishi's two concubines did not come back and were left behind by Confucius. So! He didn't know that Qi Guan's family was born.

I only know that the due date is in these days, who knows which day it will be?

Lu Zhaogong sent someone to send carp to Confucius, just in time for Confucius to make three dynasties for his son. Do the three pilas, that is, on the third day of the child's birth, and bathe the child. Bathing, that is, baptism.

So! It's a special day.

The sun was shining brightly and the weather was exceptionally good.

In order to thank Confucius, the people in the village brought gifts to congratulate him. At that time, there were no special gifts, and the best gifts were food. Those families who were studying in Confucius's house did their best to take out their rarest food and send it over.

The economic conditions of the Mao family were better, and they also sent a piece of silk.

The Orion family sent two pheasants.

In other people's homes, most of them send millet. There are few people who send dried meat and fish, after all! Everyone is poor.

This day! The kids are on vacation. I didn't go to class, but I came to Confucius's house.

Confucius's home was more crowded than usual. In the courtyard were crazy happy children, inside and outside the hall, adults walked in and out.

After Fang Zhong and Fang Shu came the next day, they didn't go back.

In order to ensure the safety of the two, the guards did not return to Qufu City. So! The matter of the Qiguan family's birth of a baby, Fang Jishi did not know.

Lu Zhaogong sent a big carp to Confucius, and he only learned about it later. He did not prompt Lu Zhaogong to send carp to Confucius, but it happened to coincide with the historical record.

Towards noon, one of the guards trotted in and said that he had spotted a cavalry coming. I didn't know what the specific situation was, so I discussed with the two concubines and Confucius, whether to call the children to the courtyard, don't make trouble, and hide for a while.

After all! Very few cavalry came here.

They came here because of the cornerstone of the Great God. If it weren't for the great god and Confucius, they would not have come to this suburban village.

Confucius also wondered: how could there be cavalry coming? I agreed to the guard's suggestion, called the children into the yard, and covered the yard door.

The guards were still not at ease and were on guard outside.

In a few moments, the cavalry contingent came.

Take a look at the results! The guards are happy!

Originally! This group of people is also from the Lu Palace. It's just that! They are Lu Zhaogong's cronies. Because these people had never been to Confucius's house, they ran the wrong way, and they came after a circle around the village.

It was because they circled the village that they frightened the guards.

"You're over here, huh? Hahaha! ......" the envoy at the head laughed.

"Hehehe! It's you! Can you scare us? What's up? Fang Keystone's guard smiled.

"Scared? Scare? With you here, who would dare to provoke you? ”

"It's not! You see! The guard pushed open the door of the courtyard and let the other party look at the men, women and children in the courtyard.

"Oh? Confucius's house is so lively? What's up? ”

"My sister is born!"

"Shi Niang gave birth? Confucius's wife gave birth? ”

"I gave birth to a big fat boy, and today is exactly three dynasties!"

"Oh!" The guards led by him realized why these guards seemed so panicked?

"You? How did you get here? The guard asked.

"Me? We were ordered by Duke Lu to send carp to Confucius! ”

"Sending carp?"

"Lu Gong heard that Confucius worked hard during his tenure in the treasury, and now he is resting at home, so he specially sent carp and gave him a reward!"

"Oh! Please! Please! The guard hurriedly beckoned.

Hearing that the cavalry outside was coming towards this side, Confucius also looked a little nervous, thinking that Ji Pingzi's people had sent someone to take revenge on him.

After all! During his tenure at the National Grain Depot, what he did touched the nerves of Ji Pingzi and others.

It turned out that it was not! Hearing that Lu Zhaogong brought him carp, Confucius was so excited that he burst into tears on the spot.

In accordance with the etiquette of the Zhou Dynasty, the envoys of Lu Zhaogong sent carp to Confucius's house. Confucius had no choice but to follow the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, greet him, kneel on the ground and kowtow to thank him.

"Lord! Lord! Woowoo woo ......"

"Get up! We will tell the Lord the truth about your sincerity! Get up! Accept the gift! The envoy greeted.

Only then did Confucius kneel forward, take the tray with both hands, and catch the gift given to him by Lu Zhaogong.

"Da! Da! Da! ……”

In the tray, the sound of carp jumping was heard.

"Hold down! Be careful! ”

When the envoy and the people around him saw this, they all shouted excitedly.

The carp sent by Lu Zhaogong turned out to be a fresh big carp jumping around. It was pulled over in a fish tank, and when it arrived at the door of Confucius's house, the live carp was scooped up, put it on a tray, and then covered with red satin on top of the live carp.

"Da Da Da! ……”

The live carp jumped up again.

Seeing this, one of the guards hurriedly stepped forward and pressed it with one hand.

Confucius also anxiously held the tray in his arms with one hand and pressed it with the other. That flustered look looked quite funny.

"Hahaha! ……”

"Hehehe! ……”

"Hey, hey, hey! ……”

Seeing this, the people around also laughed happily.

When the children saw that the adults were happy, they also followed behind and coaxed and danced happily.

Confucius hurriedly carried the carp back to his home, and also raised the carp in a water tank.

When the people in the village heard that it was the king of Lu who had sent live carp to Confucius, they were first surprised, then envious and admired.

Soon! The news that Lu Gong gave Confucius a carp spread in the village.

"Duke Lu sent carp to Confucius!"

"Lu Gong sent a live big carp to Confucius! It's huge! ”

"Confucius was appreciated by Lu Gong! I'll just say it! I said it! I said that Kongqiu was not mortal! He's going to have a future! ”

"That's it! It is! Back then, the two of us said that Confucius was not a mortal! Isn't it? But they? What will happen to the children taught by widows in the future? Slap in the face, right? Slap in the face, right? ”

I heard that Lu Gong gave Confucius a gift, and it was a fresh big carp, but many people still didn't believe it, thinking that it was the nonsense of those who sent the baby to school. But I was curious, so I couldn't help but bring a gift and come over.

Anyway! His children do three dynasties, and the people in the village can go to visit. Of course! Visitation is not done empty-handed.

There are not many gifts, just when the heart arrives. Bring a little food with you and you'll have a reason to see what is going on.

Outcome! When I saw the big carp alive, I had to be convinced.

In fact! You don't need to look at the big carp, judging from the gift team sent by Lu Zhaogong, you will know the result: either the big carp or other things.

After some ceremonial forms, it is time for the classic moment of the Three Dynasties - eating.

At this time, someone asked: What is the name of the baby?

During the Three Dynasties, it was possible to name it. No! You can publish the name you have in mind.

After three dynasties, you have to wait until other important festivals or anniversaries to name your baby.

"Then let's call him Kong Li!" Confucius said.

In fact! Before that, he had already named his son. But! In front of Lu Zhaogong's big carp, he had to give up his previous thoughts.

Naming his son Kong Li, it also means that he is not ungrateful, and he remembers the kindness of Lilu Zhaogong to him!
