Chapter 90: Apprentice again

Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/  The latest work of the great master Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng!.

A man wearing a Confucian robe slowly walked through the courtyard. Chen Chang and Chen Kang followed Bai Qichang through the second gate, passed by the yard, the library, the Minglun Hall where he taught and promoted the Tao, walked through the academy hall, and came to the Confucian Temple.

There is a stone tablet erected outside the Confucian Temple, which was written by Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong, in order to promote Confucianism, personally issued the nationwide "Respectful One Proverb".

The monument is towering, with the head of the monument carved with a statue of two dragons playing with pearls. The small regular script is rigorous and beautiful. Chen Kang stopped again, looked up at the monument, and sighed silently in his heart.

Outside the Confucian Temple are many literati with great age differences, including children with horns and elderly men. These people are all standing at the temple gate, with a humble face and a solemn expression.

Bai Qichang urged in a low voice: "Look at it carefully another day, go in first."

Chen Chang was a little nervous, secretly tugging at Chen Kang's corner of his clothes, his calves trembled, and he said calmly: "San'er, mistress, me, me."

Chen Kang took a deep breath and smiled and said, "My second brother is not afraid of going up the mountain to pretend to be a ghost at night. Today, he is very afraid of being blue and white."

Chen Chang's face turned slightly red, his teeth were knocked, and he said, "I'm afraid of a bird, who's afraid of it!"

Chen Kang nodded: "A real man stands tall and afraid of a bird!"

As they said that, the two followed Bai Qichang and walked in with their heads raised.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Luo Fu sitting on the left side of the main seat, and on the right was a middle-aged man. Both of them were wearing black Confucian scarves and round-neck Confucian shirts.

"Cheering and dressing!"

A loud shout came from somewhere.

Before Chen Kang and Chen Chang could say something, someone said expressionlessly: "The beginning of etiquette lies in correcting the appearance, matching the color, and following the words."

The person who called out just now said: "First correct your clothes and then understand the truth!"

Chen Kang and Chen Chang looked at each other, then tidied up their own clothes and cuffs, and finally stood up straight.

"Okay! The apprenticeship of a teacher!"

Two servants came up on one side and placed two cushions in front of the statue of the Holy Master Confucius. The two knelt on their knees.

"Kowtow!"

"Bang bang."

"Two kowtows!"

"Bang bang."

"Three kowtows!"

"Bang bang."

"Kowtow four times!"

Chen Kang and Chen Chang looked at each other with complex eyes and continued to bow. Liu Shu's words seemed to be still lingering in his ears... Sanlang, Haoran Gong attached great importance to etiquette. The successor to the above was not the heir, Haoran Gong's words were sharp and stern, almost...

He attaches great importance to etiquette, so it is true.

After knocking nine heads in a row, the two stood up. The servant came forward and moved the cushion to Luo Fu and the mountain leader, and bowed respectfully three times.

The two handed over six kinds of rituals in turn, and Luo Bu finally nodded.

"Clean your hands and your heart!"

The two servants came forward with a basin. They soaked their hands in the basin and wiped their hands clean. At some point, Luo Fu stood up. He held the cuff on his left hand and held the pen in his right hand. He pointed a red dot in the cinnabar, and pointed a red dot between Shen Chang and Chen Kang's eyebrows respectively.

"Cinnabar enlightens wisdom! Etiquette is accomplished!"

Luo Bu said slowly: "You two men, Liu Zangshan, have sent you to my disciples. From today on, you will be my disciples. You must be diligent and hardworking. The preface for learning: learn from them, question them, think carefully, distinguish them, and practice them carefully. The key to self-cultivation: be loyal and trustworthy, be respectful in your actions, punish anger and desire, and change your mistakes. The key to dealing with things: correct your friendship and not seek profits, and understand your ways and do not consider your achievements."

After Luo Feng finished his training, Chen Cheng handed over the two stagnant money to the person who looked like a housekeeper, and quickly left the front hall and squatted outside the door waiting for the two brothers to come out.

Several other gentlemen from Luming Academy stepped forward, praised the two of them, and congratulated Luo Fu on accepting his disciples. Chen Kang was not used to this kind of greeting, and the same was true for Chen Chang. They were embarrassed, smiling, and looking softly at each person with fluttering clothes.

Although they are not used to it, they all know that from today on, they will learn to accept these.

A scholar who walked out from inside saw Chen Cheng squatting at the door of the Confucian Temple and felt indecent, he called the servant beside him, said a few words in detail, and turned around and left.

When the servant saw the scholar leave, he took two steps at a time: "What are you doing! I will send the vegetables to the kitchen, and there will be a chef waiting there. Don't be annoying in the elegant way of the literati."

Chen Cheng nodded awkwardly and said, "I, my son is here..."

"What's there? Why don't you leave quickly!"

"Yes, yes, I'll leave now, I'll leave now." Chen Cheng lowered his head, not wanting to explain too much, so as not to let Chen Chang and Chen Kang be laughed at by classmates and could only walk in silence.

Liu Shu had already sorted out the houses of the Shen brothers, and wanted to come out in advance to welcome him, but this welcome came into contact with Chen Cheng.

"Uncle Shen, where are you going?"

Chen Cheng looked up and breathed a sigh of relief. He said in a silence: "I don't let me be at the door. I want to find a place. When the second and mistress come out, I will give you a few more words."

Liu Shu thought that it was the indifferent servant who was embarrassed by the honest man. He was angry and comforted him: "The little one happened to be going to the front hall to welcome Erlang and Saburo, and the old man went together."

Chen Cheng didn't say anything, but just followed Liu Shu in a cowardly manner. When the servant saw Chen Cheng coming back, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"I said that you won't let the scribes' eyes be fouled here, why are you back?"

Liu Shu replied bluntly: "You look down on others! This is the father of the two newly accepted disciples of Mr. Haoran. If you scold him, you will scold those two young masters. If you scold Mr. Haoran, you will scold you. I think you don't want this job anymore!"

What a servant like is to be able to see the height of his eyebrows and eyes and know how to observe his expression. At this moment, he saw that Liu Shu was a tough guy, and he also knew that Mr. Haoran was a master who was barely left by the mountain chief, so he dared not say anything else.

The servant quickly shrank his neck and kept bowing: "Uncle, uncle, it's a little dog's eye, please spare me once."

Liu Shu looked at Chen Cheng and bowed down: "Uncle Shen, do you say, can you let him go?"

He was so angry that he was red in his face and thick in his neck. He curled his lips and said, "Then, forget it, don't do it again in the future."

"Yes, yes!" The servant ran away hurriedly, not even daring to look back.

Liu Shu smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, be tough, look at how powerful these two little men are! The family cannot be called rich and noble, we can live and work in peace, and there is no need to look at anyone's face."

"Yeah, yes." Chen Cheng smiled. Although he was still a little guilty, he finally woke him up and slowly woke up and adapted.

The crowd in the hall gradually dissipated, and Luo Bing smiled and said, "You are here today. In the next day, Qichang will take you to the county school to become a naturalized student. You will start studying tomorrow. You will write a copy of words every day, write silently every three days, and write six articles every month. This is a must-have. If you can complete it on time, you will take a day off every ten days, if you can't..."

"Shi, Shiwen" Chen Chang stared at the eyes. This was too difficult.

Luo Feng smiled slightly and said, "What's wrong?"

Chen Chang looked at his smile, but his body was filled with coldness and shook his head repeatedly: "No."

"Yes." Luo Feng smiled, took a sip of the tea, and said, "Go back."
