Chapter 533 The first teacher in the world
In recent years, the affairs of the imperial court have been much less. Li Chen has rarely had a leisure time for a few days. In the past few days, Li Chen stayed at home and had nothing to do to accompany his wife and children.
The sunlight happened, and Li Chen and Ying Yue sat in the courtyard chatting. There were three or two strollers next to them, and the car was a triplet sibling of the mother and her compatriots. The eldest was named Li Ge, the second was named Li Yu, and the third was a daughter, Li Mu.
"Dad's good daughter, let me see." Li Chen is a daughter slave who is doting on his daughter all day long and does not care much about his two sons.
You know, in ancient times, women's status was far inferior to men. If they had a son, they would be smiling happily. If they had a daughter, they would probably be depressed for a while, but Li Chen did really love his daughter very much.
"Other people prefer boys over girls, you're good, but the opposite is true." Ying Yue blankly glanced at Li Chen and said unhappy.
"What's the point of spoiling a little brat? My daughter is my father's caring little cotton jacket." Li Chen said with confidence.
The New Year is almost over, and another year is about to come. Lijiazhuang, which was originally deserted, has also begun to flourish. Lijiazhuang's factories have also begun to stop work, and the people who work in the factory have also returned home and have begun to intensively equip the New Year's goods.
Xianyang City, Chang'an Jun Mansion.
Since experiencing the Hu Hai rebellion, Ying Chengjiao has proved his loyalty to the Qin Dynasty with practical actions. Fusu even invited Ying Chengjiao to participate in government affairs in the North Korea, but Ying Chengjiao seemed to have become extremely weak at this time. He did not accept Fusu's invitation, but took care of his son at home all day long.
In Chang'an Junhou Mansion, Ying Chengjiao was playing chess with the housekeeper. The two were not like masters and servants, but more like brothers. Ying Chengjiao's housekeeper was not an ordinary person. This is a capable man Ying Chengjiao once rescued from the prison. He once had a name called Gao Jianli.
"Jingli, Lang'er has reached the age of enlightenment. I mean to let you be his teacher. What do you think?" Ying Chengjiao fell down and asked. Lang'er is Ying Lang, which is Ying Chengjiao's youngest son.
The senior manager slowly left Bai Zi, and then said softly: "Young Master is very smart. Jianli is a musician. If you fail to succeed in literature, how can you become your young master?"
The senior manager rejected Ying Chengjiao, not because he was unwilling to teach, but because he thought he was not qualified and could not teach well, wouldn’t it be a misleading child?
"Master, if you want to find a good teacher for the young master, there is one person in Xianyang. If this Qin Dynasty talks about educating people, he says no one dares to be the first in the city." The senior manager looked at Ying Chengjiao and said seriously.
"Jianli, are you talking about Ronglu Hou Li Chen?" Ying Chengjiao asked.
"Yes, the three words "Master" in front of Ronglu Hou are added to the three words "Master" in front of the classics. The classics, calligraphy and painting are all old studies. Now our Qin advocates new studies such as studying things in the world. Now it is the time when the old and new are alternating. Sooner or later, the new studies will replace the old. I am afraid there is no more suitable teacher in the world than the Master." The senior manager pondered.
"Apart from being a slutty boy, Li Chen, is a little capable guy?" Ying Chengjiao pondered.
"It's not just someone with some skills, but someone with great skills. Our Daqin has seen the development of the years. If there were no Grand Marshal, who would have thought that Daqin could actually reach this point?" Gao Jianli sighed sincerely.
"Let's go, let's take Lang'er to become a disciple." Ying Chengjiao simply had no intention of playing the chess piece, and put down the chess piece he had pinched in his hand.
"We should prepare some training first when we become a disciple." Gao Jianli said hurriedly.
"Hmph, even if he is not going to save Xiu, Li Chen will have to accept my son." Ying Chengjiao said stubbornly.
Gao Jianli and Ying Chengjiao have been together for so long, and naturally they can see that Ying Chengjiao is stubborn and helpless, so they can only go to the warehouse with a wry smile to prepare Shu Xiu, who will become a disciple for the young master.
This bouquet of cultivation has its origin. It already existed when Confucius traveled around the country to accept 3,000 disciples. When students first visited the teacher, no matter they were poor or rich, they would send gifts to express their respect.
If a disciple wants to become a disciple, he must make some statement. Only by making efforts can he understand that knowledge is hard-won. "Ten Bacon" is the ceremony of apprenticeship set by Confucius, which means that if you want to become a disciple, you must first take out ten bacon. You must know that in ancient times, families who could eat meat must have been well-off families.
I think Confucius accepted 3,000 disciples, and this disciple had ten pieces of bacon, and 3,000 disciples were 30,000 pieces of bacon. I just don’t know that Confucius received so much bacon, and I don’t know if he had issued invoices for the students. (I’ll give Cao Yunjin here.)
The tuition fee for "Ten Bacon" is not a generous gift, but it is not a thin gift. This is a regulation that allows people to know that knowledge is hard-won and not too high.
Mencius once said that "the meat eater is despised", that is, ten pieces of bacon are not a generous gift. Of course, Mencius was a descendant of Lu Guoqing's father and was considered a noble in that era. Therefore, these ten pieces of bacon are naturally nothing to him. He is purely speaking while standing and not having a back pain.
Mr. Lu Xun once said that the poor family is really poor, and the poor family is really poor, and the poor family is just sweeping the cracks on the carpet, and it can be seen that if it is really poor, how could this orphan and widowed mother move three times and buy three houses? The poor family cannot withstand the torture.
At this time of the Qin Dynasty, the apprenticeship of wealthy families could not be solved by a simple ten pieces of bacon. If you want to worship a famous teacher, you will have to invest a lot. Ying Chengjiao is a decent person, so the apprenticeship prepared for his son will naturally not be shabby.
Now Ying Chengjiao has instilled all his efforts into his son, so this time he has spent a lot of money, prepared gifts from three big carts, and ordered his subordinates to drive the carriage and take his son toward Lijiazhuang.
"Master Marshal, Chang'an Jun is here to visit?" Ying Chengjiao had just arrived in Lijiazhuang, and a guard immediately came to report.
Li Chen was a little surprised and asked, "Wing Chengjiao, what are he doing?"
“I don’t know…”
"But, have you brought the gifts from three big carts?" the guard replied.
"A gift, is it necessary to make my youngest son marry my daughter? It's not right. Wouldn't that be a bad person?"
"This is not Greek mythology, it's not like this." Li Chen looked at his daughter in his arms and thought of it like this.
"Please go to the living room by Chang'an, I'll go here." Li Chen ordered.
Since Ying Chengjiao has come, Li Chen naturally has to see him. After the last rebellion of Hu Hai, the relationship between the two has also eased a lot.
