Chapter 618: Entering the Temple
Confucianism practices weekly etiquette and has very strict requirements for etiquette. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are standards for who rides and what (car). Moreover, if you don't take advantage of the public opinion, it will be considered rude.
Therefore, going to the Confucian Temple is just a blink of an eye for those who cultivate the truth, but they still have to go by car.
Although Xiao Yi didn't like these pomp, he went here to correct the name of the Shen family, so he had to be polite.
After the unanimous election of the people, Chen Bo and Xia Bo were finally appointed as drivers and passengers. Because the two of them look the most capable and have the best image. But his actual age is also close to knowing the destiny of heaven.
The two of them were naturally very happy to be able to accompany them, and after packing up and dressing, they were more than ten years younger, especially in good spirits, heroic, like young adults.
The subordinates turned out the dress that Shen Linjing wore back then and changed it for Xiao Yi. Eguanbo took his body, changed his body, and became a real disciple of Confucius.
When everything was ready to stop, Xiao Yi sat firmly in the car, and the three of them drove out of the Shen Mansion and headed towards the Confucian Temple.
At the beginning, Chen Bo and Xia Bo were in a good mood, and they had a sense of pride. But when the horses arrived on the main road and saw other cars, the two of them turned red, and they couldn't help but bow their heads in shame and were shocked.
I saw that the public opinion of other houses was brand new, shining in the daylight, obviously made for the birthday of Sage Kong. The horse is also tall and vigorous, with bright fur and a majestic posture.
On the other hand, on the Shen family's side, the public opinion is the old public opinion twenty years ago, and the horse is a hybrid used to pull sundries on a daily basis, which is simply incomparable to people.
The most embarrassing thing for the two of them was that the people accompanying the other family were all young men in their early twenties, handsome in clothes, full of energy, and they were compared to them at once.
When some Confucian branches saw the image of the Shen family, they laughed loudly, and the meaning of ridicule was very strong, obviously looking down on the Shen family.
Uncle Chen and Uncle Xia were annoyed and angry, their faces were swollen and red, but they were afraid of causing trouble, so they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak.
At this time, I heard Xiao Yi raise his voice and say: "When Confucius was young, he was also down, I'm afraid he didn't even have decent clothes, let alone a car. However, Confucius was a scholar, passed through heaven and earth, became a generation of saints, and was admired by all generations. Looking at these gorgeous carriages and horses, it seems that they have surpassed Confucius's time, but I wonder if the knowledge of the people who ride in the car has also surpassed Confucius's time?"
All present were the descendants of Confucius, he moved Confucius out, who dared to say that his knowledge surpassed Confucius, he didn't dare to laugh at it anymore, and he hurriedly ordered people to hurry up and leave first.
Xiao Yi was secretly lucky, and he did it deliberately, and his voice spread far away. But those who heard it were all vigilant and did not dare to laugh at it again.
Seeing this, Uncle Chen and Uncle Xia were overjoyed, respected and admired the new master, restored their morale, raised their heads and chests, and went straight to the Temple of Confucius.
The Confucian Temple occupies a huge area, and there is a huge square outside the temple gate. At this time, the square was already full of people, bustling, and it was the city lord who rushed back from all over Qingzhou.
According to Confucian rules, these people could only be worshiped outside the Confucian temple. When the car of the disciples of Confucius drove through the square, it attracted the admiring eyes of countless people.
As Confucian exemplars, the disciples of Confucius naturally wanted to show Confucian prestige in front of these city lords, so they sat upright and put on a high, but benevolent face.
Chen Bo and Xia Bo also raised their chests in a grand form.
Among all the people, only Xiao Yi remained motionless, maintaining his original posture as always. Its posture is very strange, giving people an indescribable feeling. At first glance, it seems to be sitting upright, upright, and very regular, but when you feel it carefully, you feel that it is leisurely, and it gives people a sense of natural and casual.
It's strange that these two very different feelings appear in one person at the same time.
When the city lords saw Xiao Yi's appearance, they all showed a look of astonishment when they noticed the difference.
After passing the square outside the temple, the disciples of Confucius got out of the car. Chen Bo, who served as a coachman, went to tie his horse to park, while Xia Bo followed Xiao Yi into the Confucian Temple.
The ancient lion stands in front of the temple gate, and there is a corner door on the left and right sides of the door. Xiao Yi entered through the main entrance, and Xia Bo was not enough to steal his identity, so he could only pass through the corner gate.
Behind the temple gate is a small square again, there is a wide and narrow avenue in the middle, the road side is regularly placed with the white jade moire stone pillar, it is very exquisite, and it leads straight to the majestic and majestic Dacheng Hall in front.
Some Confucian disciples walked along the avenue and walked directly towards the Dacheng Hall. However, many Confucian disciples came to the square and stood in accordance with their ranks.
It turned out that there were seventy-two branches of Confucius, which were divided into two grades. The first sixteen families with great learning and strength can enter the inner hall, and the remaining families can only stay in the temple square.
Xiao Yi stood still, looked at the path in front of him, and asked, "My Shen family can be among the top sixteen?"
Na Xia Bo said: "In the past, although the Shen family was at the bottom of the list, both families could enter the palace......
When Xiao Yi heard this, he stepped forward and said, "Then we'll go in." ”
Na Xia Bo hesitated for a moment, hurriedly chased forward, and said worriedly: "But...... But in the past 20 years, someone has already taken the place of the Shen family, and now there is no place for the Shen family in the palace. ”
Xiao Yi was not surprised, and said casually: "Then fight for it again." "It's not loud, but it's unusually firm.
Na Xia Bo was stunned for a moment, looking at the emaciated back in front of him and suddenly becoming taller. His heart moved, as if a seed that had been buried for many years suddenly broke through the ground, and a long-lost passion instantly filled his body. At this moment, Xia Bo felt that he was dozens of years younger, full of pride, and said in his heart: "With such a master, it is to go up to the Sword Mountain and go to the sea of fire, so what's the matter?"
Seeing the Shen family walking towards the inner hall, everyone who knew Xiao Yi was taken aback, forgetting what was in front of them and casting a horrified gaze.
Walking through the square in full view of everyone, Xia Bo has never been so nervous or excited in his life. He has been a subordinate of Confucius all his life, and he also knows the rules of Confucianism very well, and he knows that Xiao Yi is very unruly and will be hindered by many obstacles. However, at this moment, he has already repaid his mortal heart, thinking that with this scenery, this life is enough.
However, in stark contrast to his relationship, Xiao Yi turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, his pace was gentle, and he was naturally firm, moving forward unhurriedly, without the slightest influence from the outside world.
Xia Bo suddenly felt that the door of the temple was so far away, and he didn't know how long he had been walking, and when he climbed the steps and came to the front of the temple door, his back was already wet, and he could almost squeeze out water.
When the two of them were about to step into the temple gate, a person suddenly rushed out of the oblique thorn, put his hand horizontally, blocked the way, and said coldly: "The hall is full, and you can't enter it, quickly retreat and stand according to the rank." ”
Xiao Yi raised his head, but saw that the person intercepting him was a weak-crowned young man, wearing a gorgeous dress and a ribbon, and his demeanor was solemn. The other party obviously didn't expect that someone would break into the hall without following the rules, and he was stunned.
Xiao Yi retracted his gaze and asked lightly: "The Shen family's ranking is in the palace, why don't you let me enter the palace?" )
