    This matter was so strange and strange that Chen Wanrong really wanted to catch Chen Zairong and ask him for details.  I heard Mrs. Chen complain: "Zai Rong, don't be crazy. If guests are coming, please invite Mr. Huang and Mr. Wu to sit by the fire."

    The first thing a guest should do when he arrives home is to greet him, rather than get to the bottom of things. Although Chen Wanrong wanted to ask for a clear answer, he had to temporarily suppress his curiosity and stand up to greet the guest.

    Mr. Huang is the gentleman from the county hall, his surname is Huang Boming. He didn't expect him to come. Chen Laoshi was very surprised. He even forgot to greet the guests.  After being reminded by Mr. Chen Wang, he hurriedly came up with a smile and said: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Wu, please come in. Zai Rong, Wan Rong, please quickly pour a bowl of hot water for these two gentlemen."

    Chen Zairong responded "I know" and flew to the kitchen.

    Huang Boming and Wu Jing stepped forward to salute. Huang Boming clasped his hands and said, "Huang Boming has met Chen Bo." The etiquette is thoughtful and well-behaved, and he is worthy of being a scholar.

    The Tang Dynasty attached great importance to culture and education, so much so that "a five-foot-old boy was ashamed to be silent", and scholars enjoyed a high social status.  Not to mention that Huang Boming was Chen Zairong's husband. Chen Laoshi had heard his name so many times. When he saw him saluting him, he was at a loss and stammered: "Mr. Huang, I don't dare, I don't dare to take it as your courtesy."  ! Isn¡¯t this embarrassing me!¡±

    This was the reaction of Niluizi when he saw the scholar. Huang Boming had seen a lot and didn't take it seriously. He smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Chen deserves it." He saluted Mrs. Chen Wang and said, "I have met Aunt Chen!"

    Chen Wang's reaction was much calmer than Chen Laoshi's. She held her right hand with her left hand, cupped it in front of her chest, and said, "Chen Wang has met Mr. Huang!" Although she was a farmhouse wife, she was calm and courteous, and Huang Boming admired it from the bottom of his heart.  Nod slightly.

    People in the Tang Dynasty had many kinds of etiquette, with more than thirty kinds in total. Different etiquettes were used according to different occasions and different identities.  Chen Wang holds his right hand with his left hand and arches it in front of his chest. It is the most commonly used hand-bowing ceremony. It can be used by both men and women without distinction.  This is similar to our current popular handshake ceremony.  It is usually used when greeting or seeing off guests.

    After meeting Chen Wang, Huang Boming rushed to Chen Wanrong, cupping his fists and saluting: "Is this Brother Wanrong? Bo Ming has heard of Brother Wanrong's name for a long time, and has wanted to visit him for a long time.  Seeing the true face of Brother Wanrong will truly comfort my life!"

    Scholars are different. They speak in an elaborate manner, as if they were reciting poems and composing poems.

    This was the first time that Chen Wanrong came to the Tang Dynasty to meet scholars. Listening to his speech on the meeting was so beautiful, it was like singing.  As if he was really worthy of asking for advice, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. I followed Huang Boming's example and clasped my fists in return and said, "Sir, you are too complimentary. How dare you insult your clear hearing with the reputation of being late in life."

    Huang Boming's words were very pleasant and polite. Chen Wanrong should have said, "I dare not insult Mr. Qingting with my humble name." But Chen Wanrong did not mention the word "cheap" at all. He was too ignorant of etiquette.

    After taking a quick look at Chen Wanrong, he saw that he was wearing a linen shirt full of patches. He was stained with a lot of grease from making soap, and there was also an alkali smell mixed with it, as if he hadn't taken a shower in a few days. Said the butcher  Not like a butcher, Huang Boming couldn't help but look down on him when he said that the clay legs didn't look like clay legs, and he smiled slightly and stepped aside.

    This is because he has good self-restraint and has not shown it. If it were someone with less self-restraint, he would have frowned a long time ago.

    At the moment when Chen Wanrong and Huang Boming were meeting, Wu Jing had already met Chen Laoshi and his wife and came to meet Chen Wanrong.  His vision was much sharper than Huang Boming's. Huang Boming valued Chen Wanrong's mud-legged clothes, which could not catch his eye, but Wu Jing valued Chen Wanrong's temperament.

    In Wu Jing¡¯s eyes, although Chen Wanrong is dressed in clay legs, he has a completely different temperament from clay legs. His eyes are bright and energetic, and his face is full of energy.  What surprised Wu Jing the most was that a humble man like Chen Wanrong should have bowed and bowed before seeing a scholar like him, but Chen Wanrong was calm and composed, no different from ordinary people.

    There are generally two situations when this kind of thing happens, one is arrogance and rudeness, the other is that this person is very different, has a great mentality, and is not surprised by favors or insults. Obviously Chen Wanrong is the latter.  This shows that Chen Wanrong's knowledge and mentality are superior to others and cannot be taken lightly.

    Wu Jing and Chen Wanrong were a little further apart. Wu Jing walked quickly with his little feet and came to Chen Wanrong. He did not hold his hands in salute like Huang Boming did. Instead, he held the thumb of his right hand with his left hand, straightened the other four fingers of his right hand, and extended the big finger of his left hand.  Thumbs up, he covered his chest and said, "Wu Jing has met Brother Wanrong!"

    The sound is clearer and more comfortable to listen to.  What's even more rare is that the words are full of sincerity. Although there are not many words, they are more cordial than Huang Boxing's show-off greeting remarks.

    ? ?In the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Wanrong only knew about the hand-over salute. He originally wanted to be as humble and meandering as Huang Boming, but he didn't expect that Wu Jing's salute method was different. He didn't know how to distinguish it, so he saw Huang Boming.  With a strange look on his face, he looked at Wu Jing in surprise.

    Chen Wanrong is a person with a quick mind, and an unworthy look flashed across Huang Boming's face. Chen Wanrong knew that Wu Jing's etiquette was much more respectful than the hand-over gesture, so he imitated Wu Jing's example, holding the thumb of his right hand with his left hand and the rest of his right hand.  He straightened his four fingers, raised the thumb of his left hand, and said, "Chen Wanrong has met Mr. Wu."

    "I dare not take it!" Wu Jing smiled slightly and looked at Chen Wanrong with admiration.

    Chen Wanrong didn¡¯t know that Wu Jing used two etiquettes when meeting him. Taking small steps quickly was a step-by-step etiquette, which showed respect.  Hold the thumb of your right hand with your left hand. This is the cross-hand gesture, a very solemn meeting etiquette.  It is generally used in two situations, one is when the ministers meet the monarch, and the other is when the descendants meet their elders.

    How could Chen Wanrong understand these details? He was just following the same example, selling it now, and returning it to Wu Jing as it was.  However, in Wu Jing's eyes, the feeling is different. Wu Jing thinks that Chen Wanrong is polite and not arrogant. What's even more rare is that Wu Jing would have been surprised to receive such noble etiquette from someone else, but Chen Wanrong was  His expression was as usual, and there was nothing unusual about him. Such a state of mind was rare in the world, so Wu Jing, who had to look into it, suddenly felt good about him.

    After the ceremony, Mrs. Chen Wang tugged on Chen Wanrong's sleeve. Chen Wanrong understood what she meant, which was to invite the guests to sit by the fire. She turned sideways and said, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Wu, it's a bit cold here. Please come."  The stove is simmering to warm you up."

    The reason why Chen Wang asked Chen Wanrong to greet the guests was because he believed that Chen Wanrong was more reliable and smarter than Chen Laoshi.

    Wu and Huang politely greeted each other, then greeted each other, and went down to the stove under the guidance of Chen Wanrong.  The fire in the stove was blazing, and laughter erupted from time to time. The two sat down.

    Chen Zairong came in with two bowls of hot water. Mrs. Chen Wang looked at Chen Wanrong. Before she could give Chen Wanrong a hint with her eyes, Chen Wanrong had already taken one bowl, stood up, put his hands in front of him and said: "Mr. Wu, please  Drink a bowl of hot water to moisten your throat."

    Wu Jing also stood up and took it with both hands.  Chen Wanrong smiled and said: "I am a poor family and did not prepare tea. I am very negligent. Please forgive me, sir."

    Wu Jing chuckled and said, "Brother Wanrong said something serious. We are being presumptuous. Please forgive me for being rude."

    While the two were talking, Chen Zairong had already handed the hot water in his hand to Huang Boming as a student.  This is authentic farmhouse plain water with nothing but hot water.  Huang Boxing brought it to his mouth, took a small sip, held it in his mouth for a while, and waited until his mouth got used to the taste before drinking it.

    Wu Jing, on the other hand, drank from the bowl in big gulps with his mouth. The sound of gurgling kept going, and he drank a bowl of plain water in one breath.  At the end, Wu Jing wiped his mouth with his hands, feeling very comfortable, and said: "After walking for a long time, I am really thirsty. A bowl of hot water will make my throat much better."

    One of Chen Wanrong¡¯s virtues is to be able to read even the smallest details. Although this is a small thing, it can tell the difference between the two.  Chen Wanrong thought that both of them were from the Imperial College. Wu Jing could go to study history, while Huang Boming could only teach in the county library. This character determined that their achievements would be very different.

    This thought only flashed through his mind. What Chen Wanrong was most concerned about was why the two of them came to visit him. He did not beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Excuse me, Mr. Wu, why are you here to visit me?" (  Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
