The next day, Zhao Shouzheng and his son got up early and started washing and dressing up seriously.
Zhao Shouzheng changed into a black silk robe, a blue silk sash around his waist, and the same soap boots as officials. This is the most solemn dress for an Imperial College student Usually, they wear blue t-shirts, only when offering sacrifices to Confucius. When they are saints, they wear round-neck robes similar to those of Juren This is also the difference between them and students.
With Fang Wen¡¯s help, Zhao Hao also stepped on the brand new sneakers, put on the plain gauze pleats with small sleeves, and put on the soft-wing gauze scarf of lacquer gauze. After Fang Wen smoothed the pair of long soft wings behind his head, a gentle and polite young master appeared in front of everyone.
"Okay." Zhao Shouzheng looked at his son for a long time, his eyes turned red and he said, "Who is young and charming on the road? My son has grown up"
Fan Datong, who came early to join in the fun today, also gave a thumbs up and praised: "My good nephew, if you walk to the Qinhuai River, you will definitely be riding a horse and leaning on the leaning bridge, with red sleeves all over the building!"
"Don't try to lead my son astray!" Zhao Shouzheng was furious when he heard this. He glared at Fan Datong fiercely, and then told Zhao Hao, "You are too young to go to a place like that."
"We are going to become apprentices, right?" Zhao Hao was dumbfounded by these two out-of-touch brothers.
"Oh, yes, let's go!" Zhao Shouzheng slapped his forehead, quickly picked up the three items of dried meat, lotus seeds and celery to pay homage, and went out first.
The dried meat is a symbol of gratitude to the teacher, and the lotus seeds symbolize pity for the child, as well as painstaking teaching. Celery means good at work and diligence.
Zhao Hao followed behind with the remaining three items, namely dried longan, which means enlightenment and wisdom; red dates, which means getting to high school as soon as possible, and red beans, which means great achievements.
The father and son carried these six rituals together and left the alley accompanied by Fan Datong and the Gao family father and son.
As soon as they arrived on the street, they heard a bang, and a bright and blinding tin umbrella opened, covering the father and son from the not too fierce sun.
In fact, according to Zhao Hao's wishes, he should rent a carriage for his father to sit on today, but it is too close to Zhao Jin's house, less than a hundred steps on foot.
¡° Being so close and having to be carried up, it¡¯s hard to tell whether it¡¯s staged or a monkey trick.
??~~
Across the bridge is the alley where Zhao Jin lives. Lao Jia also lives in this alley.
Zhao Jin¡¯s family members were not in Nanjing, so Lao Jia Zhang called his son Yu Peng to serve as Zhao Jin¡¯s welcome guest. He also greeted a dozen or so neighbors and gave the old man a grand occasion.
¡°Here we come, hurry up and firecrackers!¡± Fat Yu Peng shouted quickly when he saw the Zhao family and his son coming.
The crackling sound of firecrackers resounded through the streets, attracting more people to watch the excitement. Everyone wants to see what the newly released richest man in Caijiaxiang looks like?
Of course, more importantly, it is said that after the apprenticeship ceremony is completed, there will be a banquet for everyone to eat.
This scene made Zhao Hao roll his eyes. This was not a wedding. Why were so many people watching? Will I have to show them the monkey trick later?
But now that the matter had come to an end, he had no choice but to enter Zhao Jin's yard under the command of Chief Yu Jia, who was the master of ceremonies, like a marionette.
The place where Zhao Jin lived was very shabby and dilapidated, almost the same as Zhao Hao's house before. This is not surprising. The army has no income except a little ration. Zhao Jin was old and could only make ends meet by writing and copying books for others.
He valued today very much. When he came back last night, he and Yu Peng cleaned up the yard and moved tables, chairs, desks, and futons from Yu's house. Chief Yu Jia also bought him incense candles and holy statues, and came over before dawn to help decorate them.
However, Zhao Jin had experienced strong winds and waves after all. At this moment, he had completely calmed down. Wearing a patched Confucian robe and a half-new Tang scarf, he was sitting beside the table enshrining the statue of Confucius, looking at his mobile phone. Zhao Hao and his son came in with Liuli Shuxiu.
Zhao Shou hurriedly took two steps forward, presented the post of Shu Xiu and apprenticeship with both hands, and said loudly:
"When people are young and ignorant, they have good fathers and brothers inside, and strict teachers and friends outside. There is no one who cannot succeed. The dog dropped out of school. Fortunately, he met Zhao Gong, but he still refused to abandon him. He kept him under the wall and taught him earnestly, so that he could correct his aspirations and understand the principles of sages and sages. Tao. When you eat with respect, you must also do your best to be filial."
Zhao Jin took the post with both hands, opened it symbolically, and saw Zhao Hao's name, place of origin, year Geng, and the name of his father Zhao Shouzheng written on it.
Then he froze
Zhao Shouzheng saw him standing there like a clay sculpture and not taking the dried meat in his hand. He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and said: 'This teacher is a bit silly. Don't make my son a little fool'
Zhao Hao was left behind, neither standing nor kneeling, so he could only cough lightly in embarrassment and said:"Sir, sir, the students are here to kowtow to you."
As he said that, he lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down in front of Zhao Jin.
"Wait a minute!" Zhao Jin jumped up from the chair as if he had been stung by a scorpion on the butt, held his hands on Zhao Hao who was about to bend his knees, and asked in a deep voice:
"I would like to ask if there is a word "Li" in my grandfather's name?"
"Hey, how did Mr. Zhao know about it?" Before Zhao Hao could answer, Zhao Shouzheng asked curiously: "My father's taboo is written down, does it have the word "establish" in it?"
"Are you descendants of Taizu of the Song Dynasty?" Zhao Jin asked.
"That's natural!" Zhao Shouzheng arched his hands to the north and said proudly, "I am the twenty-sixth generation grandson of Taizu of the Song Dynasty!"
"Uh, I can't do this as a master" Zhao Jin returned the post to Zhao Shouzheng with both hands, slightly embarrassed.
There was silence in the venue, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhao Hao couldn't figure it out, and secretly cried out in his heart, could it be that he failed in his efforts and fell short of success? Will this cold stove be burned?
The next scene shocked him and everyone.
Zhao Jin smoothed his sleeves with both hands, pushed the golden mountain and fell the jade pillar, and then knelt in front of Zhao Shouzheng.
"Uh, what are you doing, Mr. Zhao?" Amidst the uproar, Zhao Shou was busy helping Zhao Jin with both hands, trying to pull him up.
However, Zhao Jin was very determined, kowtowed heavily to Zhao Shouzheng, and said loudly: "Nephew, Zhao Jin, the twenty-seventh grandson of Taizu of the Song Dynasty, pays homage to my uncle!"
"What?"
"what? What?"
While everyone was talking, Zhao Hao blinked hard and looked at Zhao Jin. He didn't expect that his father-in-law was the same generation as him. No wonder he dared to be his teacher.
"Then are you from the lineage of the King of Yan or the line of the King of Qin?" But Zhao Shouzheng must be investigated for spending money. People with the surname Zhao in the world have a long history, but not everyone can be related to the royal family of the Song Dynasty.
King Yan does not refer to Zhu Di, but Zhao Dezhao. The king of Wei is Zhao Defang, which is the two teams left by Zhao Kuangyin.
"The lineage of the King of Yan." Zhao Jin said, and then went further: "Nanping Gonghuayuan Zhao."
"Oh? The more we talk about it, the closer we get." Zhao Shouzheng said in surprise: "We are also Huayuan Zhao. Then our seniority characters should all be 'Li Shou said Shi Cheng'. Why are you the brocade of gold and silk?"
Zhao Jin then used his finger to write the word "Silk" on the ground, then wiped off the upper part and the lower part of the word "Turban".
Isn¡¯t the rest just the word ¡®Ô»¡¯?
"It's hidden deep enough." Zhao Shouzheng nodded and accepted the gift from his fifty-year-old nephew.
Then Zhao Hao, under the order of Zhao Shouzheng, paid tribute to Zhao Jin.
Zhao Jin also bowed and returned the gift, calling him ¡®virtuous brother¡¯. The rigid look on his face disappeared and was replaced by kindness from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Hao suddenly realized, no wonder that day, he and Zhao Jintao were close, saying that they couldn't write two characters "Zhao" in one stroke. When we were a family five hundred years ago, they didn't pick on him at all.
To put it bluntly, do you deserve the surname Zhao?
Now that he saw that he was indeed worthy of the surname Zhao, Zhao Jin naturally lost the arrogance of rejecting others thousands of miles away. He held his hand and said affectionately, "Kunzhong should move around more often" and "Brotherhood cannot be destroyed." Something like that makes people's skin crawl when they hear it.
Zhao Hao found it unbelievable, how many generations has this guy been like? Can they still be considered brothers?
"However, this cold stove seems to be on fire right?"
