Be a master through ancient times

"According to what Liu Si explained, he should have no knowledge of what happened to you back then. However, it is true that this person made false accounts, filled his own pockets, and stole the property from the store. Moreover, this person also It is true that the rouge water powder obtained from nowhere is used as an expensive product such as Ningxiangyulu ointment, which caused customers to lose face and caused the store's business to plummet."

Chu Ci also asked that this man's family is entirely dependent on his daughter-in-law, and all the money he got is with her. He has already complained about this matter.

"This Liu Si is the second son who is in charge of the outer court of the county lord's mansion, and Cuiping is a big girl trained by my Kou family mother. She is very good at knitting and cooking, and she also knows a little bit about medicine. If it is said that Cuiping is the housekeeper between the two of them, it would make sense."

"Liu Si has already expressed dissatisfaction in his words. Let's start from this aspect and slowly inquire about the news. Also, you have to find out that schoolboy you were back then. I think most of the problems still lie on him. There is..." Chu Ci gave Kou Jing detailed instructions on what to do, but he had no one under his command, so Kou Jing had to do it herself.

Kou Jing looked at Chu Ci silently, her eyes were full of smiles, he liked to see his younger brother defending him in every possible way.

"Are you listening?" After Chu Ci finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Kou Jing after receiving no response for a long time.

Kou Jing came back to her senses, nodded, and said, "I've remembered it in my heart. Huai Jin, I'm sorry to bother you, I finally caught up with Xiu Mu, and I still have to run around for me."

"I don't like to hear you say that. My brother just wants to stab you. Last time you were so sleepless about my affairs. I haven't said thank you yet! Finally, I can do something for you, you Don't talk about it any more."

"Yes, this is my brother's fault, I won't talk about it anymore. By the way, have you finished writing your plan?"

"I have a rough idea in my mind, and I haven't had time to write it yet. By the way, didn't you say that you have paid attention to the ceremonies of worshiping Confucius in various places? Now tell me about it." Chu Ci pulled a piece of paper, holding a pen and waiting for Kou Jing Open your mouth.

"The ceremonies of offering sacrifices to Confucius are similar in different places. There are several steps that cannot be missed. They are... On this basis, Shanzhou Province added drumming according to local customs. Hundreds of people beat the drums together. The scene is extremely grand... ..." Kou Jing sat at the table, slowly recalling the ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius that she had seen, Chu Ci listened and memorized, nodding repeatedly.

He also witnessed the sacrifice to Confucius in Qufu in modern times, but it was still not as original as the one held by the ancients.He needs to combine ancient and modern times to see if he can carry forward the sacrifice of Confucius and turn it into a festival that ordinary people can participate in.In this regard, Chu Ci felt that those modern e-commerce companies did a good job. How many festivals were produced throughout the year, and everyone was coaxed to pay for it.

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Chu Ci got into the carriage and came to the Tixue Division.Several other mountain chiefs were already inside, and when they saw Chu Ci approaching, they asked him if he had any plans to sacrifice Confucius.

Chu Ci smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone. The adults haven't arrived yet, why don't you drink tea first. When the adults arrive, Chu will tell the whole story, so that the adults don't think I'm disrespectful."

Now that Chu Ci had said so, the mountain chiefs stopped asking more questions and went to chat over tea.

Not long after, Mrs. Wen came over with Yang Tixue.

"I'm sorry, I kept everyone waiting for so long. I just went down to court with Yang Tixue just now." Mrs. Wen said with a smile as soon as she entered the hall.

A mountain chief said, "Teacher Wen, what are you talking about? You have something important to do, so what does it matter if we wait a little longer?"

"Yeah, and we've just arrived not too long ago." Not to be outdone, the other immediately took up the topic.

"Thank you for your understanding. Please sit down. I still have a piece of news to tell you." Mrs. Wen sat down at the head and glanced at everyone present. The missions have already set off from their country and are on their way to Beijing. Presumably, they will arrive before August [-]. The two countries are the states of my Great Wei, and they respect our culture very much. I have brought five students to Beijing, and I am sure they will ask for a competition, and I invite you to go back and pick an outstanding student and send them to the Imperial College."

"Master Taifu, please forgive my ignorance. Why did this student send to the Imperial College? Although we are not good at learning, but if we put all the efforts of the academy, one or two talents can still be cultivated." Yichuan Academy Yin Shanzhang is a little unconvinced. Their academy has made great achievements in the imperial examinations in the past two years. Why should the Imperial College take all the credit?

Yang Tixue listened and glared at Yin Shanzhang: "Presumptuous, do you dare to question Master Taifu's decision?"

"Yang Ti can't learn like this." Taifu Wen shook his head, "We always teach students to study hard and ask questions. If they don't understand, of course they have to ask. This is Mr. Yin Shan. Since the old man said that students should The reason for studying in the Imperial College is naturally because there is one thing that can only be learned in the Imperial College. Do you know what it is?"

You look at me and I look at you, all the mountain chiefs, but you don't quite understand what it is.When they set up the academy, all the courses were arranged according to the Imperial Academy. How could there be some students who could only study in the Imperial Academy?

"Teacher Wen, if my guess is correct, what you're talking about is...Physical Education?" Chu Ci guessed that only this was taught later.

Mrs. Wen stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Chu Siye is right, the old man is referring to this physical education class! When I first heard about it when I went home, the old man didn't know what it was. Later, when I saw him After playing a set of boxing kung fu, the old man realized that this physical education class is to teach students to exercise their body and learn boxing kung fu."

"However, what boxing kung fu we literati learn is what warriors should learn!"

When it comes to literati, they are basically described as powerless. If the scholars are all good at fists and feet, isn't this a mess?

"No!" Taifu Wen disagreed very much, "I don't know if everyone still remembers the examination in Jiayou's 21st year? It was extremely cold that year, and in February, it was still snowing. Wearing thin clothes and only relying on a small brazier to keep warm, the wind blows in through the cracks, and it is so cold to the bone."

Taifu Wen's face was solemn, and the older mountain chiefs who were present had experienced the heavy snow, so they couldn't help becoming serious.

"The heavy snow lasted for the entire examination period. Dozens of candidates were frozen to death in the examination room, and the number of frostbite was even more numerous. Only those with strong physiques could carry it. Apart from the wind and cold, there are no other diseases. If the students of our Great Wei Dynasty are all physically strong, wouldn't they be able to make more contributions to our Great Wei Dynasty in the future?"

"Teacher is right, I was foolish."

"However, the reason why I want all the students from other academies to go to the Imperial College is that apart from strengthening their bodies, the main thing is to learn kung fu such as riding, shooting, boxing and kicking." Taifu Wen said.

Chu Ci thought for a while, and said: "The official once read a book called "Exotic Chronicles", which said that Yuexi and Mengshe are remote, and the folk customs are strong, so everyone has learned a good kung fu. Is it because of this reason that the Taifu sent them to the Imperial College to learn Kung Fu?"

Mrs. Wen was a little surprised, and said: "Chu Siye is really knowledgeable and talented. This book was written by a scholar who went out with the caravan during the Chongwen period, based on what he saw and heard along the way. Because the book number was not approved at that time, it was not engraved. There are only a few hand-copied copies of the book. I was lucky enough to see it at a friend’s house, and I have never forgotten it since then, but he moved away soon, but I have no chance to see it again. I don’t know where you found it. Can you lend it to the old man? Take a look?"

Chu Ci was a little embarrassed, he was a poor scholar, how could he get so much money to search for books everywhere, his books were all given to him by Kou Jing.

"This book was given to me by a friend, but I didn't know how precious this book was before, and I didn't know where I put it. When I go back and find it, I will let Wen Ran bring it back to you." Chu Ci was a little ashamed , his habit of reading is generally to sit and read wherever he sits, and his books are placed everywhere in the yard.

"Okay, okay, this book records the customs and customs of many remote and small countries. It is worth reading. If you have nothing to do, you can read more books like Chu Siye." Mrs. Wen is a person who loves reading. The most important thing is to wander in the sea of ​​books.

"What Master Taifu said is that we are too ignorant." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Haha, I'll talk about reading later. Just like what Chu Siye said just now, although the students in my dynasty are talented in literature, I'm afraid they are not as good as those students in foreign countries. Only by learning more can we make this This time we will be invincible. Otherwise, we, the great country of Wei, will be laughed at."

"That's how it is. I was so disrespectful just now, and I hope the Grand Tutor will forgive me." Yin Shanchang looked ashamed, and stood up to confess the crime to Taifu Wen.

"It doesn't matter, those who don't know are not guilty." Taifu Wen generously forgave him, "By the way, because the time when the mission came coincided with the sacrifice to Confucius, the Holy Majesty also asked a few words. The process of our discussion here was told to the Holy Majesty a few days ago. Hearing this, the Holy Majesty was very much looking forward to it, and told us to do it well. He also said that when the plan for today came out, he would send a copy to the palace. Let him take a look too. Chu Siye, I wonder if your plan has been written yet? This old man has vouched for you in front of the Holy One, so don't let this old man down!"

Mrs. Wen was full of smiles, the last sentence was obviously a joke, everyone was obedient and heard the meaning of love in Mrs. Wen's words.It seems that Chu Siye is really powerful!

Chu Ci took out the proposal from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Wen.

"My lord, please read. This is the plan for this sacrifice to Confucius. There are five pages in total. In some places, the official did not write so detailedly. So you can read it later while listening to the official's explanation."

"It's so good. The old man must listen carefully, after all, he will have to learn from the Holy Spirit tomorrow."

"Then, Chu Ci is showing his shame. If there is something inappropriate in this plan, please make sure to bring it up." Chu Ci stood in the center of the hall and bowed his hands to everyone present.

"As we all know, Confucius is the most holy teacher. The knowledge we inherit today comes from his lineage. Every August [-]th is the birthday of Confucius. Scholars all over the country must set a date on this day. The incense table is used to pay homage to Confucius and other old people. And the same is true for all academies.”

"However, because of the poverty of the people, there are still fewer scholars in this world, so that this day in the hearts of the people, they don't feel much. Because the people lack education, the folk customs in some places are tough, which makes the Holy Majesty and all the adults I am very worried. Taking this opportunity, Chu thought about it. If this birthday of Confucius is well known like other festivals, and everyone is in awe of the people, then why worry about them being uneducated? Therefore, I would like to ask Wen Grand Tutor, please advise the Holy Majesty to make the birthday of Confucius a festival."

"Hey, this method is very wonderful!" Yang Tixue said, "This festival also needs to have a name, how about... How about calling it 'Christmas'?"
