Chapter Ninety-Six: Salutation
At the end of the day, Ning Ze sat on the cart pulled by Bailu and walked slowly......
Prince Rui asked Ning Ze to use his car, but Ning Ze refused, it was not in accordance with the etiquette law, he just had to drive, find a coachman who was familiar with the path, and an attendant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ning Ze was dressed in a dress, sitting in the car, and a teenage child stood behind him, holding a gift box, and the deer cart drove in the direction of Lile Mansion.
At that time, outside the Lile Mansion, an old man with white hair and gray hair, wearing a high crown and a purple dress, his hair was meticulously arranged, the old man was in front of his chest with both hands, and there was an old man standing behind him who was sixty miles away, with an elegant face, three strands of white beard floating on his chest, he stood respectfully behind the old man, looking at the east.
"Wheel... The sound of wheels ......, the old man's eyes were shining, and following the sound, a white deer pulled a small car, and there were three people in the car, one sat and two stands, and the car stopped a hundred steps away......
Ning Ze saw the white-haired old man standing in front of the door, hurriedly got out of the car, tidied up his dress, trotted forward, and when he was almost six feet, the old man stepped forward, and the two stood three feet apart.
The old man performed the greeting ceremony, while Ning Ze performed the honorable ceremony, but they were the same courtesy.
Although Ning Ze and the old man met for the first time, one old and one young, they seemed to have been friends for a long time, and the two stretched out their hands at the same time and walked hand in hand......
Zhong Shan and Xiao Tong followed.
Ning Ze followed the old man through the courtyard to the Lixian Hall, there were no seats in the Lixian Hall, only futons, two futons were placed side by side, Ning Ze and the old man sat on one side, the old man was on the left, and Ning Ze was on the right.
Ning Ze took the gift box from the little boy's hand, gave it to the old man with both hands, and the old man took it with both hands and handed it to Zhong Shan behind him.
Both closed their eyes at the same time and said nothing, for about half an hour......
The old man spoke first: "What is the courtesy?"
"Respectfully," Ning Ze replied.
The old man asked again, "What is a courtesy?"
"It's not a courtesy," Ning Ze replied.
The old man asked again, "What is a courtesy?"
Ning Ze replied again: "Happiness is a courtesy." ”
The old man laughed: "A good heart is a courtesy, and it should be a rite." ”
Ning Ze said with a smile: "Lizong has won the award, he is a fledgling, and he dares to call the sect, and today Ze came to greet Lizong." ”
The old man was even more pleased, and said, "I have no regrets when I see you today...... Lile Mansion has: three volumes of ancient rites, six volumes of Shangli, and two volumes of the Great Rite of Sealing Zen. ”
Ning Ze bowed solemnly: "Ritual teachings, you will not dare to forget." ”
Ning Ze was in the Lile Mansion and studied etiquette with the old Rite Sect......
Ning Ze read the ritual first, and whenever he didn't understand it, he thought about it first, and then told his opinion to the Rite Sect and asked if it was correct?
Lizong told Ning Ze his understanding, if it was different, the two would argue, and if they couldn't argue, think again, and argue again...... The old and young were immersed in the knowledge of etiquette, not knowing the passage of time, and before they knew it, it was getting late, and the two only used snacks and tea at noon.
Ning Ze got up to say goodbye, and said naturally: "Come back tomorrow." ”
Saluted and left, Zhong Shan's substitute teacher sent him to the door, and Ning Ze took a deer cart away.
Si Qing Zhongshan returned, and the old rite sect asked him, "Today I asked the three questions of the ceremony, do you understand?"
Zhong Shan lowered his head and said, "The disciple is stupid, please show the teacher." ”
The old master sighed and said: "You should learn from Yazong, every time he has a question, he must think first, and then ask for advice, never rely on answering for the teacher, even if I give him the answer, he will think twice, if he does not agree, he will oppose me, I am very happy to hear it, and I am happy to eat." ”
The old master then said: "Let me ask him first, what is etiquette? He replied, "Respect to people is courtesy, and I will ask him again, is this etiquette?" He replied, "It is etiquette not to transgress the rules, and I ask him again, is this your courtesy?" He replied, "My courtesy is courtesy in my heart, and I am glad to be able to act according to etiquette." ”
Lao Lizong paused for a moment and said: "Zhong Shan, the reason why you are still a master of etiquette and not a sect of etiquette is that you only regard etiquette as a responsibility given to you by the teacher, and forget that 'etiquette' is a kind of faith, happy for it, sad for it, this is the Rite Sect." ”
The next day, Ning Zemao went to Lile Mansion to study the classics of etiquette, and discussed with the old master the ancient and modern, right and wrong, right and biased, and constantly put forward his own opinions, and another day passed in a hurry.
When parting, Lao Lizong asked Ning Ze how old he was?
Ning Ze said that he was born on March 17 and was about to be 14.
Lao Lizong frowned and said: "Today, March 14th, there are three days left for your coming-of-age ceremony, what should you do if your elders are not around?"
Ning Ze didn't have any feelings about this kind of coming-of-age ceremony, besides, the coming-of-age ceremony of the Hou Mansion concubine was all tied with his mother's help, and Ning Hou Ye would not tie the hair for every heir.
Ning Ze thought for a while and said, "Three days later, I also asked Lizong to help me crown the palace of the Rui Palace." ”
Lao Lizong smiled bitterly, you didn't ask for my opinion and decided like this? Sure enough, he is a young man, and he acts vigorously and resolutely, Lao Lizong thought about it, his identity is indeed okay, it seems that there is really no one who is qualified except for himself, so he nodded and agreed.
The reason why Ning Ze chose to be in Rui Wang's Mansion is because generally the weak crown ceremony is held in his own ancestral hall, Ning Ze lives in Rui Wang's Mansion, so he naturally takes this as his home, and Lile Mansion is not in harmony.
Ning Ze returned to King Rui's Mansion and said to Prince Rui: "Brother Rui, in three days it will be the gift of the weak crown of the younger brother, my crown ceremony will be held here, and the elder of the Rite Sect will crown me, let you know." ”
Prince Rui almost didn't choke on the tea, brother, you just don't see it like this, the old man of Lizong is coming, you just inform me, you have to say it early, I have to prepare the necessary things for you to be crowned, hey, why is my life so bitter!
