Chapter 176: Giving Words
When he came out of the room again, Zhu Ping'an had already taken off his dark clothes and put on a round-neck shirt. He walked to the yard and waited for Old Master Sun's next move.
"With the correctness of the year, with the order of the month, Xian Jiali obeys, the brothers are here, to achieve great virtue, the Huanggang has no boundaries, and receives the blessing of heaven."
Old Master Sun read again. He said a sentence, then took off the hat on Zhu Pingan's head, put a square scarf on Zhu Pingan, and then motioned Zhu Pingan to pour wine for Liu Chuanwen, Zhang Fangweng and others.
In ancient times, pouring wine was also very particular. Zhu Pingan walked to the table of Liu Chuanwen and others and bowed, and then started pouring wine from Liu Chuanwen, the oldest, standing on his right side, holding a wine pot in his right hand. Hold the wine glass in your left hand. After pouring a glass, raise the wine bottle slightly and gently turn it back to prevent the wine from overflowing and dripping onto the table or guests.
While pouring the wine, Zhu Pingan also smiled and said words of thanks, which were basically words of thanks for coming to watch the ceremony.
After pouring the wine, Liu Chuanwen picked up the wine glass and walked out of his seat, came to Zhu Pingan, looked at Zhu Pingan with satisfaction and nodded, then faced the north and congratulated: "Since the wine is pure, I recommend you to your son. worship and sacrifice , In order to determine your auspiciousness, I will bear the rest of my life and never forget my long life."
Zhu Pingan bowed to the end, then straightened up and took the wine glass from Liu Chuanwen with both hands, thanked him, took a sip, and put the wine glass away. Go to the table on the other side.
After that, other people also attended one by one, holding wine glasses and making congratulatory speeches. Zhu Pingan bowed and thanked them one by one, and repeated the steps just now.
As soon as these procedures were completed, the serious atmosphere in the yard suddenly disappeared, and Zhang Fangweng and others started joking with Old Master Sun.
"Haha, Brother Sun has such a good disciple, we are really envious." Liu Chuanwen stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"That's right, Brother Sun is really unkind. Before the exam, Brother Sun was still hiding it, saying that he could gain more experience, but the result was good. He passed all the tests from the county exam, the government exam to the hospital exam. , It's like entering a deserted place, and winning the position of head of the Anqing Mansion in front of all the children... You are really cunning..."
"Everyone who sees it has a share, and good disciples share it... "
The jokes made by several people made Old Master Sun very happy. He smiled from ear to ear and kept waving his hands and said, "Brother, you are joking. How could Mr. Sun hide it? I really had the idea of increasing Ping An's experience, but the result was beyond my expectations."
"Brother Sun is not kind, so he should drink a drink as punishment." Liu Chuanwen shook his head in disbelief.
Old Master Sun smiled bitterly and didn't know how to explain it. He had explained it more than once a few days ago, but no one believed it, so Old Master Sun had no choice but to take the wine glass and drink it down in one gulp.
"Brother Sun, have you thought about Ping'an Lang's cousin?" Zhang Fangweng asked after watching Old Master Sun drink.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Chuan over there smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, this is such a superfluous question. If you haven't thought of the name yet, how can Brother Sun invite you and me to watch the ceremony?"
“Oh, yes, hehehe, it’s me who saw Ping An Lang again. Such a raw jade is a bit overshadowed, haha." Zhang Fangweng smiled and shook his head, looking at Old Master Sun with some envy and said, "If the calligraphy is not obtained well, we will not stand idly by."
Master Sun stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.
At the urging of Liu Chuanwen and others, Master Sun announced Zhu Ping'an's name.
"The etiquette is ready, the month is auspicious, and the day is announced to you. The word "love" is Kongjia. It is suitable for fashionable people. It is suitable for Gu, and it will be protected forever." Old Master Sun waved his hand and called Zhu Ping'an to him. Advise according to the crown ceremony procedure.
The general saying of Master Sun is that the crowning ceremony has been completed. On this good month and auspicious day, announce your name. The calligraphy is very beautiful, which is suitable for a handsome man. Choose the word that suits you best, and keep it forever.
It sounds like what the godfather said when you get married in a foreign church, ×××Are you willing to marry this beautiful girl next to you to be your wife? , love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her, just like you love yourself. In the days to come, no matter whether she is poor or rich, sick or healthy, I will always be loyal to her...
"Although Ping An is not sensitive, he dares not to wait until night to come." Zhu Ping'an said respectfully.
Old Master Sun nodded with satisfaction, and then continued, "Although you are young, your temperament is down-to-earth and steady, honest and loyal, smart but not cunning. I give you the word 'thick', and I hope you can maintain your true nature."
< br>After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then Master Sun continued: "However, if you are 'thick', don't forget to make progress. Confucius said: If you are good at learning, you will become an official. The lords of Zhou Dynasty are divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Uncle, Zi, and Nan." "Male" ranks last It's not a good choice of character. The first-class "gong" is too vigorous, so I choose 'zi' as your character. Don't forget to make progress when visiting you. Sima Qian of the Han Dynasty, Zimei of the Tang Dynasty, and Zizhan of the Song Dynasty. , all are your regular script "Mo, you should think of Qi when you see a good person."
"I will give you the nickname "Zi Hou". I hope you will not bear this name." Old Master Sun looked at Zhu Ping'an seriously. High hopes.
Zihou
Zhu Zihou
From now on, this was his usual name. Zhu Pingan bowed his head to the end and thanked his mentor for giving him his nickname.
In ancient times, in addition to practicality, we also need to pay attention to avoidance of taboos when choosing table characters. Of course, the two characters "Zihou" chosen by Master Sun did not violate taboos.
The taboo avoidance system in the Ming Dynasty was very strange. Sometimes it was inexplicably strict, and sometimes it was so loose that it was unbelievable. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's courtesy name was Guorui, and he was the only emperor in the Ming Dynasty who had a Chinese character. These two characters are taboo among the people. The following emperors' taboos are just the last character of their names. The second generation, yunwen, avoid tabooshen; the third generation, 棣, avoid taboo Di; the fourth generation, gaochi, avoidchi; the fifth generation, zhanji, avoid base;...the tenth generation, Houzhao, avoid it; the current eleventh generation emperor Ming Shizong, Zhu Houcong, avoids it. Therefore, the nickname "Zihou" given to Zhu Pingan by Master Sun did not violate taboos.
"Zi Hou, a good calligraphy, Brother Sun really has high hopes for his disciple." Liu Chuan heard this, stroking his beard and sighed to Old Master Sun, then turned to ask Zhang Fangweng, "Brother Zhang, what do you think of this calligraphy. "
"Great kindness." Zhang Fangweng gently struck the case with his hand and was full of praise.
"Zihou, you should keep up your efforts. Don't cover your eyes for temporary success, and don't let down your master's wishes." Another person advised Zhu Pingan.
"Zi Hou should continue his efforts and live up to the expectations of his mentor." Zhu Pingan said with a long bow.
At some point, the mistress had already prepared the meal and went out of the room to call everyone into the room to eat. Zhu Ping'an waited until Old Master Sun and his friends had entered the room, then entered the room and sat down at the bottom.
Looking at the table full of food, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but feel grateful to Old Master Sun and his wife.
This time Enke won the title of Toad Palace and lived up to the expectations of his teacher and his wife. (End of chapter)
