Chapter 29 Angelica
As soon as March goes, the winter snow falls.
During this period, Xu You came to complain once, but was ordered by the three of them to be sent back to study here;
During this period, Liu Bei once again joined forces with Gongsun Zan, causing trouble to the Fu County;
During this period, Mrs. Gongsun sent a letter from her home, especially praising her son's contributions to promoting the development of human civilization, such as the promotion of papermaking;
During this period, when Lu Fan returned to his hometown and got married, everyone could not help but bother him again;
During this period, Gongsun Xun asked Gongsun Yue to come to Cai Yong to leave all the seven Confucian classics and the manuscripts of the forty-two chapters of the sutra in the name of copying, and prepared them to be used as heirlooms;
During this period, the raccoon cat that was inconvenient to take home actually gave birth to a small nest, which made the ancestors of cats everywhere in the Huo family. Gongsun Xun even had to give them two to Cai Yong, saying that the cat raised by Gongsun Yue had eaten all the manuscripts, so he handed the prisoner over to the victim to deal with it himself, and it was convenient to kill and cut them...
However, the three-month waiting also made the Gongsun brothers and the other two feel a little vigilant. Even Gongsun Xun vaguely feels that he is a little overreacting... The so-called lenient outside and taboo inside is just a general discussion, right?
Besides, this time Yuan Shao is really afraid, so he must also aim at Han Sui, who was flying high that day?
So, after the New Year, the Gongsun brothers finally decided to enter Luoyang City... Tantanfeng is one thing, Liu Kuan and Lu Zhi are all in the city, so they always want to pay New Year's greetings, right?
Liu Kuan's side was naturally very lively. The old man was so broad that he was unreliable to everyone, and he had a high status, old age and extensive experience. Therefore, the visitors included all kinds of religions and all over the world. Not to mention that he had a large number of officials and officials, and a large group of disciples and children. The Gongsun brothers even saw the farmers who claimed to have come from Hongnong and drove a cow with two bundles of firewood to pay New Year's greetings... Liu Kuan's mansion was completely equal, which was really admirable.
However, when you came out of Liu Kuan and then went to Lu Zhi's place, it seemed a lot more desolate.
You should know that Lu Zhidongguan studied history, and Dongguan was located in the Nangong. Due to the strictness of the palace ban, it felt like it was isolated from the world as soon as he entered. His residence was located in the public room at the east gate of Nangong. Although this place was not considered in the palace, it was difficult for Lu Zhi to have any friends in the past six months. Even if it was difficult for the disciples of the Hun family to see him, he was a cold and serious person... In fact, if it were not for the Gongsun brothers who were entrusted by the people of the Hun family to pay their respects on their behalf, Gongsun Zan might not have been willing to come.
When they arrived at Lu Zhi's residence, although this place could not be called deserted, it was not a place with a warm atmosphere. The three of them visited the ceremony and sat for a while and had nothing to say. So Lu Zhi simply suggested that the other two people go to see Cai Yong and other elders of Luozhong again, leaving only Gongsun Xun to accompany him here.
After a day of nothing, Gongsun Xun spent most of his time in bringing several servants to entertain the subordinates of Dongguan who came to pay New Year's greetings. It was not until he met Yang Biao in the afternoon that the two sides had their names and shook hands and had fun. This trip was worthwhile.
However, Gongsun Xun did not go back at night. Because when Yang Biao said goodbye and left, he realized that Lu Zhi's feet were obviously swollen because of his long sitting cross-legged. So he quickly sent a servant to Liu Kuan, asked for some anti-inflammatory and warm-tonifying medicinal materials, and sent someone back to the Suan family to find the ginseng there... In short, he was very troubled.
Another day later, warm and blood-replenishing drugs such as Angelica were sent to Liu Kuan's mansion early, and Aunt Jin also sent a special person to deliver ginseng. This action caused a chain reaction. Liu Kuan, who had always been unruly, heard that Lu Zhi was sick, actually drove a ox cart to visit him in person.
Of course, Liu Kuan is not really a visit to the disease. He is used to it casually, and his family is too troubled, so he came here to hide in peace. Not to mention anything else, how could he come to visit the disease during the Chinese New Year and bring a jar of wine instead?
However, he came to the right place, especially after Cai Yong came over at noon... The latter, as the deputy of Dongguan's history study, should have come to visit him.
So, the three of them gathered around a small square in the inner room to keep warm, drink and chat, while Gongsun Xun was outside to take care of the medicine... They were all peaceful, and even Gongsun Xun thought that if Lu Zhi was not seriously injured, he would say goodbye this afternoon. But suddenly, Cai Boyi seemed to remember something, but stopped him who brought the medicine in.
"Speaking of this, since the Chinese New Year is over, Mr. Lu, who is called Gongsun Xun, is barely twenty?" Cai Yong asked in the wine pot.
"Look at what I said." Liu Kuan stroked his beard and smiled. "The customs are different in different places. If you really want to say it, it's not impossible. But you usually have to wait for your birthday before talking..."
Gongsun Xun was also stunned by it. He raised his head and thought about it. It seemed like this... He was born in the second year of Yongshou, and now it is the fifth year of Xiping. Although he had not celebrated his birthday, he was barely twenty years old. Thinking about the first time he heard that his brother Gongsun Zan was coming to find Lu Zhi to become a disciple, and he couldn't wait to take a sailboat, so he was trapped in Lu Long Pass. He was only eighteen years old at that time. Although this was only more than a year, he had two New Year festivals in the middle, so he couldn't help but feel moved.
"So that..." Lu Zhi also seemed to understand something. "Gongsun Xun."
"Disciple is here." Gongsun Xun came to his senses and quickly agreed. "What are the instructions of Master Lu?"
"Come on."
"Here..."
"Since I'm twenty, I'll ask you, do you have any ambitions?" Lu Zhi asked seriously, pressing the table.
Now, Gongsun Xun was asked about his concern, and he bent down and saluted, "I have to hide it from Master Lu, I have lost my father since I was young and raised by my mother. I also obeyed her words... She often told me that if one day I can be the prefect of Liaoxi and keep the country safe, it would be enough to comfort her."
The three people sitting on the top of the house and drinking laughed.
"Do you want to achieve two thousand stones?" Lu Zhi asked with a smile. "I have extraordinary ambitions."
"You are also a handsome child that I rarely see in so many years." Liu Kuan also smiled. "Why do you always think about the remote place in your hometown?"
"No matter what, this is an extremely difficult thing." Cai Yong couldn't help but laugh. "Don't you know the three mutual laws?"
The three mutual laws refer to the rules that should avoid some administrative regions after becoming an official to a certain level. Generally speaking, if a person from County A is appointed as a magistrate of County B, then a person from County B is not allowed to be a magistrate of County A. Of course, the actual situation will be more complicated and strict, involving equal official ranks, marriage relationships, etc....
However, in any case, it is an iron rule that you cannot serve as an official in this county from the six hundred stones of the imperial court.
That's why Cai Yong started to mock...How can you, a man from western Liaoning, be the prefect of western Liaoning?
Gongsun Xun laughed when he heard this. Of course, he was too lazy to explain to the other party what his mother really meant - first take a high position, make friends with heroes, and then go back to his hometown in troubled times, and defend himself in western Liaoning. This is the real prerequisite for the so-called "work hard to gain knowledge from the princes to seek to survive in troubled times". Only by holding the key border counties in western Liaoning, suppressing the Wuhuan and Xianbei, and keeping the safety of Hebei's important areas, can we be qualified to keep changing our thighs!
According to my mother, there was a family named Chen in Guangling, Xuzhou who did this later. As expected, she was so happy that she was at the end of the troubled times.
"Let the teacher and the elders laugh." As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xun just said perfunctorily.
"It's okay..." Lu Zhi shook his head and said. "I've already had a problem in my mind. Go to the side room outside, open the willow box at the top, and take the items inside to me."
Gongsun Xun didn't understand why, but he had to act according to his words. However, when he opened the box, he suddenly realized that this was an ordinary sage crown.
The so-called Jinxian crown is a very common type of crown in Confucianism. It can be worn by ordinary scholars to super-class officials of the three public levels, and can even be used when facing the king. The ritual system is also very simple... There are beams that can be disassembled on the crown, and the three beams are used by the princes and marquis; the two beams are two thousand stones (the level of the nine ministers) to be used by doctors; and one beam is used by all Confucian scholars below the doctoral degree, including private students.
So, Gongsun Xun could not understand that Lu Zhi actually wanted to take this opportunity to give himself a crown here!
"Is this a bit hasty?" After Gongsun Xun came out holding Jinxianguan, Liu Kuan didn't say anything, but Cai Yong became a little embarrassed. "What I meant just now was that you might as well take this opportunity to give him a word. Shouldn't the things like the ceremonies be implemented by the elders of other clans when he went back? And the guests should be exchanged as a witness..."
"How can there be so many statements?" Lu Zhi said disapprovingly. "He lost his father since he was a child and has never seen his biological father since he was born. His mother is also a disgraceful person. If you really want to talk about his elders, the people he looks for may not be more suitable for me and Mr. Liu after he goes back."
"That's true." Liu Kuan also shook his head. "All etiquettes are false. I thought that the Qiang Rebellion in Xiliang that day, the imperial court recruited soldiers at Sanfu. I took a ox cart back to Hongnong. On the way, I saw a fifteen-year-old boy who had just tied his hair and had just tied his hair. His parents took a piece of cloth and wrapped his hair bun, which was also considered as a crown... Today, I was sitting here upright, and there was a son who held his crown for him, and a Bo Ji sang a ceremony for him... It was enough!"
Anyway, it wasn't his turn to make decisions, so Gongsun Xun was expressionless throughout the whole process. When he heard the other party's arrangement, he even knelt in front of the three of them, which was ready.
"Let's stay." Cai Boyi still stopped again. "After all, he is a famous scholar, so he still has to take the words first."
"That's true." Lu Zhi nodded. "Both are all everyone, can you gain something?"
"Xun... comes from "Huainanzi", the so-called beauty of the East is Xun Qiyan, who is a doctor who is Wulu." Cai Boyi sighed when he stroked his beard and sighed. "This Wulu Mountain is located in western Liaoning. It was where the ancient sage emperor Zhuanxu was buried. The person who named him was also knowledgeable."
"What are you talking about? What are you talking about?" Lu Zhi shook his head and smiled.
"No." Cai Boyi retorted seriously. "Mr. Lu must know that many of his names are consistent with his name. Since the name of this boy from western Liaoning is 'xun', there should be 'y' or 'qi' in the characters. Otherwise, wouldn't this good name be abolished? I mean, I should take the word 'qi'."
"That's 'Qi'." Liu Kuan lit the table impatiently, and slapped the board. "What?"
"Then...why 'Ziqi'?" Cai Yong glanced at Gongsun Xun and said. "The word "天" is often used to show humility and retreat."
"I think it's better than 'Wenqi'." Lu Zhi also looked at Gongsun Xun and smiled. "What do you think Liu Gong?"
"How about 'gongqi'?" Liu Kuan actually had a third plan.
The three people in the front head were arguing endlessly, while Gongsun Xun, who was kneeling down, listened while changing his face, but he had no choice but to do anything after all... There is nothing he can do. It's like this these days, and he has no say in his name, even if he has passed by today, he will be an adult.
"No need to argue." After a while, Liu Kuan, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly raised his dark hand that had not been washed for many days and patted the square table, and then said proudly. "I am the oldest and the highest-ranking one. Of course, this kind of thing must be based on what I mean... It's 'gongqi'!"
Fortunately, it's not a rooster! However, his name is Xun, his name is Gongqi, which is quite similar to Mingyu, Gongjin. I don't know how old Zhou Lang is this year that his mother said... Of course, Gongsun Xun secretly complained in his heart and could only thank him quickly.
However, just as Gongsun Xun leaned over, Teacher Lu suddenly came to remember the killer: "No! The word 'gong' is in conflict with his surname and cannot be used!"
Liu Kuan was shocked when he heard this, but he could only shake his head helplessly... His surname was Gongsun and his courtesy name was Gongqi, so he really didn't think about it.
"As for what Cai Boyi said, you don't have to think too much." After repelling the biggest enemy, Lu Zhi resigned Cai Yong again in pursuit. "This is a ceremony. How can you abandon the teacher's gift and use others?"
Cai Yong shook his head repeatedly: "It was clearly Mr. Lu who asked me first...well, Mr. Lu is the highest, so it's up to you!"
Gongsun Xun bowed to thank him again, but this time there was no more trouble... Liu Kuan sat upright in the middle as an elder, Cai Yong stood up to sing a greeting, while Lu Zhi put a Jinxian crown with only one beam on his disciple's head.
In other words, from today on, he is Gongsun Xun, whose courtesy name is Wenqi, and he is a native of Lingzhi, Liaoxi, and that's all.
"Okay!" When Gongsun Xun got up, Lu Zhi took two steps back and said with a smile. "Since Wen Qi is already an adult, you should have come up to have a drink with our deskmate, but during the New Year, you have been with me for two or three days, and then decocted medicine for me personally... I heard that it is Angelica Blood-Replenishing Soup? Since Angelica Soup is already ready, you are Angelica too, and I won't keep you!"
Gongsun Xun was shocked when he heard this. He didn't know if this was the meaning of it for a moment... But since he said this, Liu Kuan and Cai Yong were by his side, he didn't ask much, so he had to say goodbye again and just said that he would come to serve the teacher again after a while.
However, when he turned back to the Huo clan, he found that Jia Chao had returned from western Liaoning again and had been waiting here for two days.
Gongsun Xun became more and more surprised, but this suspicion finally disappeared after he opened the gift bag sent by his mother. No one else, besides a letter written on white paper, there was actually a Chinese medicine in the gift bag.
"Treat me like a child again!" Gongsun Xun looked at the Angelica in his hand, shook his head in anger, and almost threw down Jinxianguan, who had just been put on for less than a day.
"Taizu performed the ceremony of Liu Kuan, Lu Zhi, and Cai Yong. When talking about his words, one was Gongqi, the other was Wenqi, and the other was Ziqi. After a long debate, Wenqi was used. A few years later, a recent praise said, "These three characters are all beautiful. You must be more heroic and powerful when you are young, and you will be more heroic and powerful than others before you can get this kind of love." Taizu laughed and said, "You don't know. I was young in Luo, and I acted cunning and selfish, and bold and reckless. Cai Gong said, "That's why I am not good at doing anything and advised me to be humble and respectful. Liu Master said, Gong, really thinks that I am narrow-minded and I am not selfish; Lu Master said, Wen, he hates me stupid and disobedient and hopes that I can keep my virtue... Even if I love it, how can I talk about heroic and powerful? "Taizu's words and deeds are so honest." - "New Book of Yan". Volume 1. The General Annals of Emperor Taizu Wu of Emperor
