Li Chengqian wanted to take Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others into Lijiazhuang and let Li Xuan take a look again.
However, although it was Cheng Chusi and others who met Li Xuan, it seemed that Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others were even more nervous.
Let Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others worship Li Xuan as their teacher, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others were sincere.
There is no other reason. The most important thing is to believe in Li Shimin's vision.
At least, they started out as bandits, followed Li Shimin all the way, and now they are the founding princes of the Tang Dynasty, with 3,000 households in the city and 4,000 acres of hereditary permanent land!
There will be no worries about future generations.
Now, His Majesty has come all the way to send the prince here to join his sect. This strange man must be qualified to teach those bastard boys in his family.
Moreover, this person also improved the Quyuanli and compiled the "Alphabet of Enlightenment" and "Numerical Arithmetic". He is absolutely extraordinary!
"After you go in, you must listen to His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince and don't do anything stupid. If you offend that Master, I will hang you here today and give you a hundred heavy lashes!"
Outside the mountain village, Cheng Zhijie warned Cheng Chusi with a stern expression.
"Yes, Aye"
Hearing the heavy whip, Cheng Chusi's face was full of fear, he shuddered subconsciously, and replied repeatedly.
In several other carriages, although there were no such violent conversations.
However, everyone is very strict.
"Chongyi, in front of Master, please remember that I am King Zhao, you are the Crown Prince of Zhao, and Your Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of Hejian County!"
"Yes, Aye!"
"Fang Yizhi, I don't know how to be a fool here..."
"Chong'er..."
If outsiders didn't know the inside story, they would think this was sending the son to the battlefield.
In order not to waste time, after some warnings, Cheng Zhijie, Changsun Wuji and others stood guard outside the door, watching Li Shimin lead Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others into the village.
This time, led by Li Shimin, Cheng Chusi and several others came in easily.
Li Xuan had long known about such a big movement outside the village.
Therefore, when Li Shimin led Cheng Chusi and others in, Li Xuan was already sitting on the sofa and waiting for a long time.
"Master!"
"I've met the prince!"
After Li Shimin and Li Xuan greeted each other, Li Shimin casually sat on the sofa nearby.
Li Chengqian quickly stepped forward to salute.
"Gao Ming has met the Master!"
Cheng Chusi and others also quickly followed and saluted Li Xuan.
"Cheng Chusi pays homage to the Master!"
"Li Chongyi pays homage to the Master!"
"Greetings to Changsun Chong..."
"..."
After hearing this, Li Xuan showed a slight smile on his face, waved his hand gently and said: "You all, please get up, there is no need to be so restrained here."
"Thank you, Master!"
Although Li Xuan said it very casually, Cheng Chusi and others still stood aside with reserved expressions and obedient expressions on their faces.
Not to mention the warnings and threats from their respective ayahs at the foot of the mountain, with His Majesty right in front of them, they did not dare to have any playful thoughts.
Afterwards, Li Chengqian also quickly said: "Master, how many people want to become your disciples, I wonder what you mean?"
"As long as there is nothing wrong with the prince, there is nothing wrong with me!"
Li Xuan smiled lightly and said slowly.
"They are all my nephews. I have watched them grow up since they were young, so I naturally have no problems!" Li Shimin said.
"Then I have no problem!"
Li Xuan followed closely and replied.
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Chengqian's face was filled with joy.
When Cheng Chusi and others heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Afterwards, Li Chengqian stood up and walked to the kitchen. After a while, he skillfully picked up a pot of hot water and started pouring tea for Li Shimin and Li Xuan.
On the side, Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi looked at him in amazement, but they still did not dare to make any move.
"Why are you still wasting your time? Why don't you come quickly and find you, Aye, to get a bundle for the master to repair?"
Seeing that Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi were still stunned, Li Shimin glared and reminded them.
"Ah? Yes, Your Majesty!"
After hearing this, Cheng Chusi and others were startled, then they quickly saluted and ran out.
As early as when they arrived, Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others had already prepared the repairs.
Therefore, in less than a quarter of an hour, Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others walked in carrying a food box each.
As soon as they entered the house, everyone put down their food boxes, knelt down and kowtowed three times!
"Disciples Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi, Yuchi Baolin, Changsun Chong, Fang Yizhi, Du Gou, pay homage to Master!"
"Everyone get up!"
Li Xuan said.
"Thank you Master!"
After Cheng Chusi and others got up, they all opened the food boxes, which were filled with Shu Xiu.
The Six Rituals Shuxiu refer to the six kinds of gifts that disciples gave to their masters during the ancient apprenticeship ceremony.
Celery (meaning diligent and studious, good at work); lotus seeds (meaning painstaking education); red beans (meaning good luck); red dates (meaning early and early high school); longan (meaning perfect merit); dried lean meat strips (expressing disciples’ wishes) .
These etiquettes are handed down based on the "Book of Rites" and "Disciple Regulations". Generally, after the apprenticeship ceremony, Li Xuan had to clean his hands, purify his heart, and write a pen ceremony for Cheng Chusi and others.
To purify the hands and purify the mind is to ask Cheng Chusi and others to put their hands into a basin of water to purify their hands and purify their minds.
The pen opening ceremony also includes cinnabar to open up wisdom, drumming to bring wisdom, and drawing red to open the pen.
The entire apprenticeship process is cumbersome and complicated, but it has a strong sense of ritual.
Therefore, Li Xuan did not skip a single step.
Finally, for accepting Shu Xiu, Master Li Xuan also returned the gift appropriately.
As Li Shimin announced with joy on his face, Cheng Chusi and others had successfully become Li Xuan's disciple.
And Li Xuan also had six more disciples who would become the future Duke and County King.
Li Xuan then walked out.
Soon.
Li Shimin, Cheng Chusi and others, with stunned expressions, carried them into two large wooden boxes.
"Since you have already worshiped me as your Master and have given me the gift of cultivation, then this is my Master's gift for you to meet me!"
With that said, Li Xuan opened the wooden box with his hands, revealing that it was filled with dark green copper coins.
"You can put this thing in your food box. As for your food box, just put it in as much as you can!"
"ah?"
After hearing this, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but look blank.
They are also the eldest sons of the Duke's family. Growing up, they have seen all kinds of precious gifts. However, this is the first time they have encountered such a unique and impactful gift.
For a moment, they all stood there, not knowing what to do.
"Why are you still standing there? You don't want to accept the gift from Master?"
On the sofa, Li Shimin really couldn't stand it and couldn't help but urge him.
"Thank you, Master!"
At this time, Cheng Chusi and others woke up, bowed deeply to Li Xuan, then quickly picked up their food boxes and started stuffing money into them!
