Volume 1 Chapter 10 Apprenticeship [II]
Today's second update, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a family reunion.
`
Zhang He is nothing more than saying that Master Wu is his own person, there is a difference between master and servant in the Zhang family, and Wu Tiande is a member of the Zhang family in terms of household registration, although it is not polite to call, it is not good to be too polite; Mr. Huang, on the other hand, was hired from outside, not his own person, he was the guest of honor, and he had a relationship with his grandfather, and his status was half a guest and half friend, and there was no obvious distinction between the top and the bottom, so he could not follow the etiquette, so as not to feel despised by him.
Ethnology and Zhang Zhai are indeed not far away, and while speaking, Zhang Han has already seen the school. Taking the wild goose from the hand of the servant and holding the goose's head to the left in his arms, this is the salute. The pickled and air-dried geese are not heavy, but the fluffy and hot geese are hugged in the bad, and they are indescribably sad.
Because the time had been made in advance, Huang Yuan greeted the boy who opened the door not long after the announcement.
Huang Yuan is not tall, just over seven feet (one meter six or eight), a middle-aged man with a thin face and a serious expression, he seems to be very satisfied with his goatee, and often pulls his beard when he speaks.
The ethnology institute is a small courtyard, there is a big oak tree in front of the door, the pavilion is like a cover, the shadow of the tree is swaying, only one step away from Zhang Han. Zhang Han stood behind Zhang He, and the heat made him not only want to stick his tongue out, but also want to hide in the shade of a tree.
However, Zhang Han just thinks about it. On such a solemn and formal occasion, it is really impossible to run to the cool. Reluctantly glanced at the shade of the tree, Zhang Han died of that heart, holding the wild goose in both hands, bowing his head slightly, and standing there upright.
Huang Yuan's voice was loud, in stark contrast to his thin body. was talking to Zhang He, but secretly observing Zhang Han.
Huang Yuan has been learning to be a gentleman in the Zhang clan for more than four years. During his teaching in ethnic studies, he devoted himself to studying and teaching with heart, which was well received by everyone. When he first arrived at Zhang's house, he had vague expectations for Zhang's family, but after a long time, it faded. There are many people in the Zhang clan, and Zhang He has not yet been promoted to filial piety, how can it be his turn. The treatment given by the Zhang family was quite considerable, which was quite satisfactory to him, and Huang Yuan simply concentrated on teaching.
Today, the little prodigy of the Zhang family came to apprentice, and Huang Yuan was both proud and a little curious. He was proud of being recognized, and he had been here for a few years, and he had heard a lot of rumors about Zhang Han, although he was not convinced, he was inevitably curious.
Zhang Han's development is excellent, he has been exercising himself more than these years, and the Zhang family has been able to provide sufficient nutrition, making him half a head taller than other children, and he looks like a seven or eight-year-old child. His face was not greased, but he was also fair and cute, with some baby fat, and his facial features were ordinary, and he failed to inherit the good appearance of Zhang He and his wife.
Standing a little to the left behind Zhang He, his desire for shade was clearly seen by Huang Yuan. Along the way, it was obviously hot and ruthless, and fine beads of sweat slowly seeped out from his forehead and cheeks, and gradually gathered into a big drop, which was crystal clear and colorful under the sunlight, and fell into the dust in a flash.
Seeing a little child standing there with a calm face, Huang Yuan couldn't help but be a little amused, so he said a few words to Zhang Heduo. In his eyes, Zhang He felt pain in his heart, this is his own son. But after the gentleman met, it was logical for him to take the test and teach the disciples, and he had to cooperate.
Beads of sweat snaked down his face, as if there were ants crawling over his face, itchy, Zhang Han lowered his head slightly, avoiding the direct sunlight, and he didn't know what these two people were standing under the big sun, talking about interesting things about studying and news about classmates. However, there was no place for him to speak, and he was not a child, and he couldn't do anything that was too rude.
Zhang Han's little face didn't take a while, it became sweat-stained, he slowly took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, this damn weather, even the air is hot, the heart is naturally cool, the heart is naturally cool, and he successfully relaxes himself.
Seeing Zhang Han sweating profusely, still standing there motionless, with a calm face, not impatient or impatient, Huang Yuan couldn't help but cherish.
"......, alas, I forgot to be in love for a while, and I forgot to invite Brother Yuan Jing to talk inside, which is rude!"
Huang Yuan bowed slightly to apologize.
"Where, where, the little brother is not the same, so Brother Ling is serious."
The two looked at each other and smiled, walked together with each other, and walked into the courtyard together. Zhang Han hugged the wild goose in his arms and followed closely.
As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, there is a spacious courtyard at first, with some mulberry trees sparsely planted on both sides, and a large avenue in the middle, at the end of which are several large houses, which are the places where the clan studies usually attend classes. On weekdays, Huang Yuan attends classes here every morning and has a day off every six days. After passing through the big house to Houjin, Huang Yuan's family lived here.
The furnishings of the hall are very simple, the wooden floor is smooth and smooth, a low table is placed in the center, and a portrait of Confucius is hung on the front wall.
Huang Yuan didn't say much, took Zhang Han to hold incense, and worshiped Confucius.
After worshipping Confucius, Huang Yuan and Zhang He sat on both sides of the low table, Huang Yuan sat at the top, and Zhang He sat at the bottom.
Zhang Han walked slowly and respectfully came to Huang Yuan to stand up. He bowed down and lifted the wild goose above his head, and said loudly in a crisp voice, word by word: "Donkey Zhang Han, admire the benevolence of the master, and I am willing to bow to him, please be a disciple." As he spoke, he stepped forward and presented the wild geese.
Huang Yuan took the wild goose and said, "Yes." Benevolence is our responsibility, and it is not too important! Scholars can't not be Hongyi (strong and persevering), there is a long way to go! Accept hundreds of rivers and eventually become a sea, Zhang Han don't live up to the expectations of your elders! ”
"The disciple must keep it in mind, stick to the benevolent way, and die without spinning!"
"Wonderful! Zhang Han can be my disciple from now on! ”
Having said that, the apprenticeship is basically over, and there is only one last step left, Zhang Han knows that it is inevitable, so he bows his hand, hangs his forehead to the seat, knocks three times, and then retreats and forwards, and knocks three times.
Zhang Han was quite unaccustomed to kowtowing at first, but he couldn't stand kowtowing every year, every month. Worship ancestors during festivals and have to kowtow; To salute the elders on important occasions, you have to kowtow; After a while, I didn't say hello to my parents and grandparents, and I had to kowtow when I said goodbye. After a long time, gradually, it became natural. It's just etiquette, don't bow your knees in front of the enemy, that's it.
It is better to say kowtow than to kowtow, the former is heavy and has the meaning of pleading; The latter is light and just a courtesy.
Before coming, Zhang Han had already learned the apprenticeship ceremony. knew that in the process of apprenticeship, it would be like this, and he had done a good job of psychological construction in advance, so Zhang Han completed the apprenticeship ceremony in one go.
Since then, Zhang Han has become Huang Yuan's disciple, and the relationship between the two has changed, and they immediately got closer.
