In response to the fact that their young master was getting married, everyone in Zhaojiazhuang began to get busy.
Apart from anything else, the marriage of our young master is the biggest issue in Zhuangzi.
So no matter what, everyone must get this thing done.
"You guys, go and do a good job over there.
You guys, go over there and do all the other decorations. Everyone, work hard.
You should also know that this will be the wedding day of our young master Zhuangzi in a while.
Remember, as long as everyone performs well, everyone will get more year-end bonuses this year."
"It's the butler, thank you butler."
Regarding this matter, let’s not talk about the issue of year-end bonuses.
The main reason is that this matter is an important matter for my young master. To everyone, the young master's matter is the most important.
No matter what, arrangements must be made to make the young master's wedding a success.
When the wedding is over and these young women give birth to children for the young master, won't everyone be even more motivated?
Now this young master Zhuangzi is the backbone, and there will be many younger young masters later.
Their village will get bigger and bigger.
At that time, the whole Zhuangzi will become a different situation.
Thinking of these things, everyone laughed.
Work harder and harder.
"Hey, why haven't I seen Xiao Kong recently? Hasn't she been studying in the study?
Why have you been missing these past few days?"
"Master, you don't know something. Sister Kong was taken away by Confucius these days. She left Zhuangzi and said she went to the academy next door.
I heard from Confucius that it was his family members who arrived in Chang'an.
They went and told these things!"
Oh, upon hearing this, Zhao Mu nodded, I see, let him go!
What's the matter? Are you worried?
"Master, I feel so happy when I think about what will happen in a few days.
I am the master, the maid bought by the old lady to serve the young master.
From the beginning to the end, I never thought that I could be married by a young master from a famous family."
Linglong can talk openly about other things, but when she talks about this matter, her heart can't help but beat wildly.
After hearing what she said and seeing her performance, Zhao Mu stood up and stepped forward to flick her forehead gently.
"Linglong, Linglong, you have to remember that you are my young master's personal maid.
At the end of the day, you are also my young master’s son, is it possible that there is a reason to give it to someone else as my personal maid?”
"It's the young master. I understand, young master. By the way, young master, I'll see what kind of food is available in the restaurant, and I'll arrange it for the young master.
Master, please wait for me first."
After all, I am still a bit thin-skinned, despite how careless I am usually.
But at this critical moment, my face couldn't stand it anymore.
"Oh, this silly girl!"
After all, I have been in contact with myself for such a long time, and I am usually quite open-minded about these profound and superficial matters, which makes me sad.
Confucius’ academy!
It is only a few miles away from Zhaojiazhuang. At this moment, in the room in the academy, except for Kong Xian and Kong Mingshu, they are the only ones in the room.
There was a middle-aged man sitting on one side. When he saw Kong Xian, he spoke.
"Father, regarding Xiao Shu's marriage, my father has made it clear in the letter.
We also trust our father's vision very much. We never thought that there would be such a powerful person in this whole world?
I also know that there is someone here who is gifted and capable of both literature and martial arts.
But there is probably only one in the world who is capable of literature and martial arts, and whose overall strength is so powerful. The Master Zhao whom my father mentioned is probably the only one in the world." As a member of the Confucian family, and a master of Confucianism, what my father said is the truth.
I absolutely cannot refute it.
Let’s talk about marriage, parents’ orders, and matchmaker’s words.
Even I won't say much.
Also, my daughter is so old, if she is allowed to be willful before she gets married.
But now, it might not be appropriate if she is allowed to be willful again.
But looking at her like this, her daughter seems quite happy!
"Okay, this time, let alone you, if I hadn't seen it myself, do you think I would push my granddaughter into the fire pit?"
"Father, of course you don't know how."
"Fortunately, the news from them was relatively timely, allowing me to seize the last opportunity.
So I took the initiative and arranged everything here.
You shouldn’t have any objections, right?”
Under such circumstances, even if you have an idea, what can you say?
Besides, I still trust my father's vision very much.
To put it bluntly, even if I don’t believe my father.
But there are some things that my daughter has personally seen, and I should believe what my daughter says.
"Hahahaha, just believe it, just believe it."
"But father, how should we arrange the process of this marriage?"
The Kong family are the heirs of Confucianism, and they believe in authentic Confucianism.
Whether it is weddings, funerals, or other matters, they all belong to this set of Confucian procedures.
After saying this today, I took advantage of the situation and asked about these things.
"Confused, what did I tell you before?
The so-called worldly vision only restrains those worldly ordinary people.
How can you restrain others with their worldly vision?
It’s like getting on the bus first and then buying the ticket.”
When Father Kong heard what his father said, he was stunned for a moment. Father, why do you mean to get on the bus first and then buy the ticket?
When Kong Xian heard this, he coughed twice.
My son is good at everything, but why does he feel that his thoughts are more stubborn than his own?
"Anyway, as long as you know, everything is done on a special basis.
Is it possible that you still go to Shandong and ask someone to propose marriage to me in Shandong?
By then, I'm telling you, if you do that, the day lilies will be cold.
You must remember that as long as you keep this kid firmly in my Kong family.
Our Confucianism will definitely become stronger and its scope of influence will be wider.
It's just drizzle now. Do you know how wide this world is? How big is it?
The breadth of the sky and the vastness of the earth are beyond what you and I can describe in just one or two sentences.
The Tang Dynasty is just a corner of this world.
In addition to our Datang, there are many, many countries that are comparable in territory and strength to our Datang.
Let me ask you, do you want those countries to also believe in my Confucianism?
Let those countries and tribes also know about me, the Tang Dynasty and the Kong family in Shandong?
Let me ask you, which one do you think is more important?"
After hearing what his father said, Kong's father stood dumbfounded.
I had thought about the entire Central Plains and the entire Tang Dynasty before, but I had never thought about these things outside of the Tang Dynasty.
You have seen these books in my study these days. How do you feel?
"Father, I have never heard of these books.
The things mentioned in each book are really amazing to read, so wonderful!"
"Humph, these books were also given to me by Mr. Zhao.
I arranged for people to carry out excerpts in Chang'an City, and placed them in the Imperial College and in my place.
For the remaining ones, I sent people to bring them to Shandong and put them in our Kong family."
ah.
this.
With these words, Father Kong was shocked again.
Are all those books arranged by Mr. Zhao?
"Humph, what do you think? Otherwise, if you ask around in the whole world, where else can you find these books?
If you can find a copy, I will take your last name!"
"Father, you are confused. My surname is Kong, isn't your surname also Kong?"
That's what I mean, just follow what I say.
Apart from these literary works, these are my literary works from the Central Plains.
The books next to it are relatively small and are from other than the Tang Dynasty.
"Ah, outside the Tang Dynasty, outside of the Tang Dynasty, there are those barbaric people. Do they still have this ability?"
"Didn't you read that you said before that these books were written by non-obedient people?
Although they are barbaric people, there are many capable people among these barbaric people.
You must remember that as scholars, we must not belittle ourselves.
Don't look down on anyone because you think you know more.
Our Kong family is not the strongest in the world, that’s why we are respected by the world.
It’s just because we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
If it weren't for what our ancestors of the Kong family created, how many people would know about my Kong family?"
When I heard these new words from my father, I had never heard of them before.
Is it possible that these new words came from Mr. Zhao?
Anyway, I have never heard of it before, but now that everyone has said so.
Since his father said this, it can be seen that it must be true.
Is it possible that they still say that their father's eyesight is dim?
"I definitely believe what my father said. I originally wanted to test him after seeing him, hahahaha."
He didn't make any secrets and spoke out all his thoughts.
Hearing what he said, Kong Xian glanced at him disdainfully.
"How can I not know what you are thinking in your heart?
I have already passed the test you mentioned at the beginning.
It's just that Mr. Zhao's ability is only stronger than we imagined, not weaker than we imagined.
So if you go to test others, you are going to humiliate yourself, so forget it."
Forehead.
When his father said this, Father Kong smiled awkwardly.
Then he turned and looked at his daughter.
"Daughter, since you and your grandfather have already discussed this matter and made preparations.
Just follow your grandfather's arrangements and everything can be arranged.
My father will go directly there and attend your wedding on time."
"Thank you father."
After the two finished chatting, Kong's father looked at his father.
"By the way, Dad, I just looked at other books. It seems that these books have not been excerpted yet. They are all original copies.
I like these books very much, and I’m thinking that when I return to Shandong this time, I will take all of them with me, hehe.”
"Humph, you bastard, I haven't finished reading these books yet.
Let’s wait until I finish reading all these books.
After I have read all these books, I will send someone to make excerpts.
I will send you back to Shandong by then. What are you anxious about?
Let me ask you, what are you anxious about now?
If you want to see it, go see it yourself now, but don’t bother with these things.”
"Yes, father."
Father Kong smiled awkwardly.
As if he had already acquiesced to this sentence, the father and son sang together and started talking about other issues.
Looking at his father and grandfather, they discussed academic issues on the sidelines.
Kong Mingshu sighed helplessly.
In other words, every time the two of them chatted, it was definitely not about academic issues, but about academic issues.
And I could only watch quietly from the side, and then said, "Father, grandpa, you chat first, I will go and pack the books first."
