The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 12
Bai Gui knelt down to salute, but Xu Xiucai did not stop him. He could bear the ceremony. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher, and one life is a father.

Common proverb: "Parents who gave birth to me, teachers who taught me."

But before Bai Gui saluted, Xu Xiucai coughed lightly, and pointed to the portrait of Confucius hanging on the wall, ""Book of Rites" said, "'The beginning of etiquette lies in the righteous body, the color, and the words." . 'You clean up first, then worship the most holy teacher, and then worship as a teacher.No random order. "

Bai Gui suddenly realized that Confucianism has strict requirements on etiquette. He was delighted at the same time, and worshiped the portrait of Confucius first, which meant that Xu Xiucai accepted him into the gate wall. This is a real teacher and student!

He straightened his clothes, his eyes flicked to the back, and the braids behind him were quite an eyesore.

The so-called clothes and crowns have been lost.

But now was not the time for him to think about it.

Tidying up clothes does not mean that the current appearance is sloppy or unclean, but it shows solemnity and respect for the most holy teacher.

Should Confucius be respected?
Absolutely.

If there was no Confucius, how could a pariah like him be able to enter school and read poetry and books? !
A series of European countries, such as England and France, still have a dual-track teaching system.What is a dual-track teaching system, such as the dual-track system in England, one track is specially set up for the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, from top to bottom, from university to junior high school, all good schools (grammar schools) are entered, while the other track is For ordinary untouchables, there are primary schools to secondary vocational schools.

To put it simply, using modern education as an analogy, the children of untouchables can only go to technical secondary schools and technical schools after finishing junior high school, while the sons of nobles and capitalists go directly to private high schools. Untouchables are not eligible for university education. !
In 1933, the United Kingdom promulgated the "Hadow Report", and the dual-track system tended to merge, so that ordinary children could enter grammar schools and have the opportunity to receive university education.

To be Tian Shelang in the morning, to ascend to the Hall of the Son of Heaven in the evening!
Since Confucius began to teach privately and broke the situation in the Zhou Dynasty that only the nobles were taught in the official school, the children of the poor can also study and become officials, and they can also become scholars. This is the greatness of the most holy teacher.

According to Xu Xiucai's instructions, Bai Gui kowtowed nine times to the portrait of Confucius, and kowtowed three times to Xu Xiucai.

In this way, the great gift of master and apprentice is achieved.

Xu Xiucai stroked the smooth forehead of the boy kneeling on the ground, his eyes were soft, he took out a few big red dates from his pocket, and handed them to Bai Gui, "Go, go."

Bai Gui hugged the black lacquered board, bowed deeply to Xu Xiucai, and left the bedroom.

……

"The Analects of Confucius" records: "The morning is 饔 (yong), and the evening is 飧 (sun)."

The ancients and modern people had three meals a day differently. Ordinary civilians only ate two meals a day, while only princes and nobles ate three meals a day, or even five meals a day, including lunch, supper and dinner.But at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they gradually began to eat three meals a day.

After the morning class, generally speaking, most of the students go home for lunch. Most of them are only seven or eight years old, too young to be able to cook for themselves. Moreover, the ancestral hall of Bailu Village is located in the center of the village. Every household is not far away, and it is a matter of course to go home for lunch.

Bai Gui didn't go back.

His father is a widower. Although he sometimes cooks in a raw stove, due to the limited ingredients and craftsmanship, the meals are hard to chew.So most of the time, they cook on the Lu family's stove, Bai Youde, Liu Mouer and other long-term workers eat and drink with the cook, the master will never eat the same as the servants.

A half-child eats a poor old man.

The cook of the Lu family has always looked at Bai Gui coldly, bossed her around, and said sarcasm, and over time, Bai Gui respected the stove.

So he usually cooks by himself.

After enrolling, as it should be, the position was also transferred to the school.

"Brother Zhou." Bai Gui put his studying belongings back on the desk in the school, then walked to the gatehouse of the ancestral hall, and greeted Zhou Yuan politely who was cooking.

Zhou Yuan is from a neighboring village, so he can only cook and eat at the gatehouse.

"But it's over?"

"You are too eager to say what the master said. The Banque Thousand-Character Essay has [-] characters. You are not familiar with silent writing, but the master hates it."

Zhou Yuan supported the tortoiseshell glasses and sighed slightly.

He shook his head, and anxiously took out the dry biscuits from the pot.

He ate the hot steamed pot knuckle with a small dish of pickles.

"Use it while it's hot, the water inside has already boiled." Zhou Yuan bit into a large piece of pancake, and said vaguely: "It's enough for you and me to use the same stove. You cook once, and I Cooking once, and cooking at intervals like this, can save a lot of time in a day."

"Look how fragrant this Ganxian Guokui is."

Zhou Yuan took another bite.

"Brother Zhou, it's different. The food on the forehead is steamed buns and miscellaneous grains. It can't be compared with yours. It's taking advantage of you. Others will laugh when they hear it."

While talking, Bai Gui took out the steamed buns he had left over from the corner of the porter's room and put them on the steamer.

Ganxian Guokui exudes the fragrance of white noodles.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to Zhou Yuan: "Sir, I have taught you the rest of the second half of the quiz today. It seems that this test has been passed."

"What?"

"You silently wrote the first half of the Thousand-Character Essay?" Zhou Yuan was taken aback. In the past few days, Bai Gui also took advantage of his lunch time to ask him for some advice. The first half was all silent.

But the result was beyond his expectation.

His demeanor became much warmer. Earlier, he had kindly asked Bai Gui to set up a stove with him in order to save time, but he might not have some disgust in his heart.

Now, Bai Gui's performance made him a little impressed.

The gap in status shortened the invisible distance between the two.

Are the sons of long-term workers and tenants eligible to sit with him?

No!

He meant it with charity.

But is a fellow student who studies hard and is talented qualified to sit with him? There is no doubt, yes!
"Eat vegetables!"

He pushed the small jar containing pickles.

The pickles are white radish.Carrots, etc. are cut into fine cubes and mixed with chili sauce.It is also a pickle made in Qianxian County, which is most suitable for eating with Ganxian Guokui.

Bai Gui didn't refuse this time, and picked up a chopstick with his chopsticks.

The taste of salt is strong, and it tastes sweet after eating.

It's just that he only took a few bites, then stopped, and then swallowed his own bun.

This pickle is too much, and the owner dislikes it, but if you don't pick it up, you will not give Zhou Yuan face.With the status of Xu Xiucai's disciple, Bai Gui picked up a few chopsticks.

This...represents acceptance, they can be friends now.

Dragons do not live with snakes.

Very realistic and cruel.

Wowotou is made of cornstarch mixed with noodles.

Modern people eat corn bread with white sugar and white flour.However, the flour that Bai Gui ate was mixed with unhulled wheat, which was then ground with a stone, making it dry and astringent.

He ate two buns and was full.

　There will be another update later, sorry, it's even later.
