Two days passed quickly.
Under the leadership of Wang Xi, all the items for apprenticeship were prepared.
Especially the very traditional "Shuxiu", which is ten pieces of dried meat.
At the same time, Wang Yao, in the presence of everyone, served tea to Xun Shuang and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
As a teacher, after receiving the Shuxiu, Xun Shuang gave back gifts such as "The Analects", green onions, celery, etc., and took Wang Yao to recite "The First Chapter of the University", symbolizing the important responsibility of "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts".
After going through a set of procedures, Wang Yao was truly recognized by Xun Shuang and became his student. In the future, he could borrow the name of Xun Shuang when walking among scholars.
The Eight Dragons of the Xun Family, Kind and Bright Unparalleled.
In the eyes of contemporary literati, Xun Shuang's status is quite high.
As the apprenticeship process came to an end, Xun Shuang suddenly asked:
"Zixian (Wang Xi), you see Yao'er follows me to study. In Yingchuan, he will inevitably socialize with scholars. According to my suggestion, it is better to give him a courtesy name in advance. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Wang Xi also thought it was a good idea.
When a man is 20 years old, he will have a ceremony of adding a cap to indicate his adulthood. Generally, he will be given a courtesy name at this time.
But before adding a cap, if there is a need for socializing, he can also give a courtesy name in advance. After all, in the process of socializing, peers mostly call each other by courtesy names. It is impolite to call someone by their first name. If you are not familiar with them, it is also a bit presumptuous to call someone by their nickname directly.
"Ciming is right. What do you think of Ah Xing's courtesy name?"
Now that Xun Shuang has become Wang Yao's teacher, Wang Xi has to ask for his opinion on what courtesy name to give.
Xun Shuang had been thinking about this for a long time, and immediately said:
"In "The Book of Songs·Zheng Feng·Lao Qiu", 'That son of his, the Yan of the country.' It means a virtuous and talented person, a person who has both talent and virtue and is beneficial to the country. One of Yao'er's courtesy names should be 'Yan'; there are nine stars, and we can add another 'Chen', so how about 'Yanchen'?"
After hearing this, Wang Qi nodded slightly: "Brother Ciming, you are indeed a great talent in the world, so let's follow this and call him Yanchen."
Father and teacher both thought it was good, and Wang Qi asked Xun Yuan about his idea, and Xun Yuan also thought it was good.
The three of them had no objections, so Wang Yao's courtesy name was decided.
After the series of things such as apprenticeship and courtesy names were over, Wang Qi and Xun Yuan should return to Yangzhou.
Before leaving, Wang Qi also recruited Xun You and took him to Shouchun to be a chief clerk and gain experience in the officialdom.
Wang Yao stayed in Yingchuan and began his academic career.
The teaching of great Confucian scholars is not just about reading and literacy, they spread their own thoughts and ideas.
In short, different great Confucian scholars have different interpretations of Confucianism, and academic disputes also arise from this.
What's the use of reading and literacy? If you don't understand the meaning, it's still useless. The gentry really has the right to interpret ancient and modern theories.
Xun Shuang's teaching time is not long every day. He mainly gives tips. He prefers to readTo his students, he can draw inferences from one example.
In this regard, Wang Yao is indeed quite talented. After all, Confucianism in later generations has also developed step by step. It is still very easy to deal with Xun Shuang's teachings and occasionally come up with some interesting views.
In the courtyard, Wang Yao practiced swordsmanship. Even when he was studying, he never stopped improving his swordsmanship.
Outside the courtyard, a girl came in with a basket.
"Brother Yanchen's swordsmanship looks very unusual."
"Cai'er."
Wang Yao put the sword back into the sheath. The girl in front of him was Xun Shuang's daughter Xun Cai, who was the same age as himself.
The barrier between men and women in the Han Dynasty was not as strict as that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
As a teacher, he naturally hopes that his daughter will get in touch with the students he values, and it would be good to develop in the future.
Xun Cai put the basket on the stone table and took out a few plates from it:
"This is the dessert I made according to your instructions. Come and try it."
As spring turns to summer, the temperature gradually rises.
As a large family, the Xun family has a lot of ice stored in the ice cellar, which can be used at this time.
"Cai'er has worked hard."
Wang Yao picked up the plate, which contained oranges, plums and other fruits in the ice honey water, and the fruit soup of the late Han Dynasty.
The two sat on the stone bench and tasted the coolness of summer.
"Yanchen! Yanchen!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Yao looked up and saw that a scholar in blue clothes was hurrying over outside the courtyard.
"Zhicai, what's the hurry?"
Wang Yao stood up, greeted Xi Zhicai, pulled him over to sit down, and brought him a bowl of dessert: "Try it, Cai'er's craftsmanship."
Xi Zhicai took it and bowed: "Thank you, Miss Xun."
After eating it in big mouthfuls and cooling down.
Xi Zhicai said: "Yanchen, something big happened in the court. Wang Fu and Taizhong Doctor Cheng A framed Queen Song for cursing Your Majesty with witchcraft. Queen Song was deposed and died in the violent room."
"Is that so." Wang Yao was not surprised: "Now the power of eunuchs is getting stronger and stronger."
"Alas, the eunuchs and relatives are in power, it's really a deadly world." Xi Zhicai was a little melancholy.
As he gradually grows older, he has to consider what to do in the future.
As a child from a poor family, it is not easy to get ahead.
Wang Yao comforted him: "Yi Zhicai, your talent will be limitless in the future. If you really can't do it, go to work for my father for a few years to gain some experience and facilitate a sudden promotion in the future."
"Haha, Yanchen, the world is dark now, I'd better wait a little longer."
"That's right, after all, we are still young."
Xi Zhicai is a very opinionated person, so Wang Yao didn't say much. Anyway, he made a suggestion that if there is no way forward, there will always be a place for him by his side.
Studied in Yingchuan, taught by Ciming, Zhicai is a friend, and Nuxun is by his side, which is not bad.
Fine clothes and angry horses, young people are full of vigor.
However, the general situation of the world, the rivers and lakes, and the temples have long been in turmoil.The clouds are treacherous.
In the second year of Guanghe, the court was shocked, and the eunuch Wang Fu and the Grand Commandant Duan Jiong were imprisoned and died.
Si Tu Liu He, Yongle Shaofu Chen Qiu, Weiwei Yang Qiu, and infantry school lieutenant Liu Na conspired to kill the eunuchs, but the plot was leaked and they were all imprisoned and executed.
This Han Dynasty center has undergone a huge change.
The core is that the eunuch group has been hit, and the scholar-official group has also been weakened.
The following year, in the third year of Guanghe (AD 180), Emperor Liu Hong, against all odds, made He, who was born as a butcher, the queen.
Queen He's father He Zhen was posthumously named General of Chariots and Cavalry and Marquis of Wuyang Xuande;
Mother was taken to live in the palace and was named Lord of Wuyang;
Eldest brother He Jin and second brother He Miao were also recruited into the court to hold important positions, and the He family was extremely prosperous for a time.
It can be said that Liu Hong single-handedly supported new relatives to join the card table game in Luoyang, and after Wang Fu and other eunuchs were killed, the Ten Attendants headed by Zhang Rang still supplemented the strength of the eunuch group.
On the surface, the situation of eunuchs and relatives competing for supremacy has been restored. In fact, the scholar-official group headed by the Yuan and Yang families still has a huge influence in the court and the country.
