Chapter 136: Etiquette Training Before Entering the Palace
On the second day, Wu Yong, who was full of anticipation, waited for a message asking him to wait patiently for the summons of the Son of Heaven, and he couldn't help but be disappointed.
But think about it, how can the Son of Heaven be seen by ordinary people like him if they want to? Don't say it's him, in this Luoyang City, even those high-ranking officials and nobles can enter and leave the palace, and it is rare to meet today's sons!
If you think about it, only officials with more than 2,000 stones can participate in the Son of Heaven Dynasty meeting, and there are only a dozen people in the entire Han world.
Just like Zhu Jun, although he is a waiter, except for major festivals, he can see the Son of Heaven from afar, and he doesn't have to think about it at other times.
Thinking like this, Wu Yong was also relieved, and waited patiently, anyway, he was not in a hurry for this moment, just used this time to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.
When Zhuo Taijun met him for the first time yesterday, he attached great importance to him, not only arranging for Wu Yong to live in the courtyard where her second son Zhu Xian used to live, but also arranging for a maid to take care of Wu Yong's daily life.
Wu Yong refused to resign several times, and finally could only take Cheng Zhao, Cen Sheng and Yan Zhan to live in another courtyard. Since the Son of Heaven did not summon him today, Wu Yong thought about taking the three of them to Luoyang City for a walk.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Jun specially invited a confessor from the palace to teach him the etiquette in the palace.
The confessor is the servant of the Son of Heaven who is responsible for conveying the message in the palace, and he knows the various rules and etiquette in the palace best.
"The husband is a courtesy, so the relatives are separated, the suspicion is decided, the similarities and differences are different, and the right and wrong are also clear." Perhaps because of the heavy money he received from the Houfu, this confessor was also dedicated to Wu Yong's teaching.
not only told Wu Yong about some court etiquette and matters that need to be paid attention to when meeting the Son of Heaven, but also corrected Wu Yong's daily etiquette mistakes, including standing, walking, kneeling, sitting, bowing, bowing, etc., and even the clothes, shoes and hats were also made by the people of the Houfu Mansion to make two sets of ...... After a few days, Wu Yong was tossed enough by this confessor.
He now really understands the reason for the solidification of the ancient scholar class, this ubiquitous etiquette culture, so that they have maintained their superiority in their hearts innately.
If this is an ordinary person, where will there be time to learn this. Rest in the afterlife in which he lives, a sentence
"Rude", everyone just laughs, but in the current Han Dynasty, this is an extremely serious matter, at least the reputation will be ruined, and the worst will be punished by the imperial court.
However, in this era, he will have to be the servant of the Son of Heaven in the future, even if he is not adaptable, Wu Yong has to grit his teeth and persevere, this is a very rare opportunity.
If it weren't for this confessor who knew that Wu Yong was about to meet the Son of Heaven, even if he gave a lot of money, he wouldn't have taken care of you.
And just like that, a few more days passed. Wu Yong gradually became familiar with these etiquettes, and now there is an indescribable charm in every gesture, compared with the previous few days, it is like two people.
Cheng Zhao looked at his eyes, a little happy, and a little lost. I am glad that Wu Yong is getting better and better now, and what is sad is that the gap between himself and Wu Yong is getting bigger and bigger.
This kind of psychological gap often makes her look at Wu Yong, and she starts to be stunned alone, and sometimes she can't help muttering: "Brother Yong is really getting more and more brilliant, and I don't know what kind of woman can match him, and how should I get along with him in the future!" Nowadays, a woman can marry and have children after five years of ten, and many women decide to marry at the age of fourteen, and their minds are unusually precocious.
Don't look at Cheng Zhao as just a few months older than Wu Yong, but she has long regarded Wu Yong as a lover who has been with her all her life.
When her grandmother bought her, it was equivalent to saving her life, and she has always taken good care of the stupid Wu Yong over the years, firstly, in order to repay the grace of life, and secondly, after years of getting along, she accepted the facts.
But since Wu Yong returned to normal and became more and more excellent, her status no longer allowed her to have extra thoughts, she just wanted to stay by Wu Yong's side all the time and accompany him in life, old age, sickness and death.
So when He Lian showed her heart for Wu Yong, she didn't mean to stop her at all. She also admires He Lian, it is rare for a woman to have her kind of talent, at that time she thought that maybe He Lian would be a good match for Wu Yong in the future.
But the changes in Wu Yong in the past few days, as well as the four young ladies who came to talk to Wu Yong every day with their maidservants, Cheng Zhao had a different mind.
"Maybe the little lady of the Hou Mansion is the best choice for Brother Yong, and it will help him the most in the future." Thinking like this, she unconsciously started to be stunned again.
Cen Sheng on the side shook his head, he just recognized that this young gentleman really attracts women wherever he goes, and he doesn't know how many romantic debts he has in the future.
In fact, he used to be the Gongcao of the Taishou Mansion, and he also knew Cheng Zhao's life experience, and at the same time, he was extremely sympathetic to her.
But the blessing is bad, she is now following Wu Yong, according to Cen Sheng's understanding of Wu Yong, Wu Yong's feelings for Cheng Zhao may be deeper than his feelings for his grandmother, but they don't know it.
Just like when he just entered this Beard Mansion, as soon as Wu Yong settled down, he came to look for Cheng Zhao as soon as possible. And the etiquette study in the past few days has allowed Wu Yong to maintain etiquette to others at all times, and only when facing Cheng Zhao did he relax and not care about these etiquette.
"Maybe that's what the two of them have lived together for years!" Cen Sheng said secretly in his heart. Wu Yong didn't have so much thought about them, and at this time he was still asking the confessor for advice on how to wear clothes, shoes and hats, which really made Wu Yong more knowledgeable.
It is only said that there are more than 16 kinds of crowns in the Han Dynasty, mainly including Tongtian Crown, Yuanyou Crown, Gaoshan Crown, Jinxian Crown, Jianhua Crown, Fangshan Crown, Warlock Crown, etc., which is one of the basic symbols to distinguish the hierarchical status.
In addition to this, there are also group ribbons, accessories, runes, etc., which is really dazzling. And people who are well versed in this knowledge can see the identity and status of the other party at a glance, so they can be in a dominant position in interpersonal communication.
After learning this, Wu Yong had to sigh at the superb wisdom and subtlety of the aesthetics of the ancients. At this moment, a servant suddenly hurriedly came to the courtyard and said, "Wu Shaojun, the lord asked you to go to the main hall, and someone from the palace took you into the palace to meet the Son of Heaven." ”
"So fast!" Before Wu Yong could speak, the confessor couldn't help but exclaim. Then he said to Wu Yong with a smile: "It seems that you have a lot of weight in the heart of the Son of Heaven, and it has only been five days since you arrived in Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven has summoned you to meet you!" You must know that generals with military merits will have to wait for half a month to meet the Son of Heaven. ”
"My lord praised it, the kid is still a little unprepared!" Wu Yong suddenly woke up, and hurriedly asked the admonitor: "I don't know if the first time I meet the Son of Heaven, why do adults want to teach the boy?" The confessor shook his head and smiled: "You have learned very well, there is nothing to teach you, don't be too nervous when you meet the Son of Heaven this time." Then he said: "Let's go, I'll go with you to see who is the confessor who took you into the palace today?" Let's see if I can give me some face and give you a few words at a critical moment. ”
"Thank you, sir!" Wu Yong happily agreed, and asked Cheng Zhao to help him tidy up his clothes, then turned around and went out, followed the confessor, and strode towards the main hall.
The two of them were guided by the servants through the courtyard, and finally came to a large house, stepping on the steps and slowly entering the main hall.
At this moment, in the main hall, in addition to waiting for Zhu Zhu, there was an old man wearing a black shirt with a dignified face, and after seeing Wu Yong and the two coming, he swept Wu Yong and the two with a scrutinizing gaze, and paused slightly when he saw the confessor.
The confessor was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Lord Chang, why did you come here in person?" "I saw the old man wave his hand,
"This Wu Yong is a descendant of a certain family, and you have bothered you these days, and after he meets the Son of Heaven, you come to look for me, I just have an errand for you to do."
"My subordinates are willing to serve my life for the Lord!" When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed. The old man didn't care about him anymore, and then his eyes stayed on Wu Yong.
After a few breaths, he smiled and said to Wu Yong: "You must be surprised who I am, right?" For the sake of your little doll helping me many times, I won't sell Guanzi, let me tell you the truth, I am Chen Qiu's uncle, Cheng Huang, a regular servant. Wu Yong was shocked in his heart, and remembered the meeting etiquette that the confessor had just said, so he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Boy Wancheng Wu Yong, I have seen Ming Gong!" Cheng Huang kindly helped Wu Yong up, and said with a smile: "My daughter and son-in-law sent a message saying that you are a rare strange person in the world, I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you today, if you really live up to your name, and your demeanor is good, I think when I see you today, I will definitely be impressed by you." ”
"The kid is just a rural grass farmer, and he deserves the false praise of Ming Gong." Wu Yong was a little embarrassed, he had been praised a little too many times recently, and he almost floated himself.
Seeing this, Cheng Huang's expression was solemn, and he said: "You can't use the title of grass people in the future, Your Majesty has opened the golden mouth to seal you as the Son of Heaven, you have no jokes, do you want Your Majesty to break your word today?" Then he solemnly said to Wu Yong: "According to Your Majesty's instructions, Xuan Tianzi will serve Wu Yong and enter Weiyang Palace to meet you!" ”
"Whoa!" Wu Yong bowed deeply, and then asked Zhu Jun: "Uncle does he want to enter the palace together?" ”
"If the Son of Heaven doesn't summon the others, I won't go, so you can go with the Servant yourself." Zhu Jun waved his hand, and his words revealed incomparable loss.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and beckoned a servant in.
"You go and arrange the best carriage and coachman in the house to pick up Wu Yong, and this carriage will take him in and out of the palace in the future."
"Slow," the servant received the order and was about to turn around and go out, but Cheng Huang shouted at this moment. Then he said to Zhu Jun: "There is no need to use the coachman of the Houhou Mansion today, there are still some precautions to tell Wu Xiaozi when meeting the Son of Heaven, just let him ride in a carriage with me, and after that, I will let people send him back safely." ”
"This ......" Zhu Jun didn't expect Cheng Huang to value Wu Yong so much, so he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Then thank you Lord Chang Shi." The confessor on the other side was also a little afraid at this time, he didn't expect Wu Yong to have the relationship with Cheng Huang, a regular servant!
If he hadn't taught Wu Yong etiquette well, it was estimated that he would have suffered it after returning to the palace.
