Chapter 136 Some Comfortable Days of Reading and Ritual
Etiquette is an external expression of a person's moral level and cultural accomplishment, and it is also a reflection of a country's moral customs and living habits.
Only a highly developed civilization can produce perfect and complicated etiquette, but each step has unique meaning.
Zhao Shu showed great respect for the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty. Although the Zhou Dynasty was sunset, the influence of Zhou etiquette on the Central Plains countries had already penetrated deep into the bones.
Hundreds of years have passed since the rise of the Qin Dynasty from the Western Frontier. It has already absorbed the Zhou rites and created itself to create a set of etiquette unique to the Qin Dynasty.
When Ying Lang saw Zhao Shu attaching such importance to him, he couldn't help but nodded, and a smile appeared on his old face.
For old guys like them, they naturally hope that their descendants can abide by etiquette and pass on the etiquette of Great Qin.
At the same time, etiquette can also let people see the depth of their family and country.
As a descendant of the Qin royal family, Zhao Shu naturally had to know the etiquette and uphold the etiquette. After all, when Zhao Shu went out in the future, he would represent the face of the Qin Dynasty.
Ying Lang took a sip of the tea brought by his family, and then explained to Zhao Shu, "The so-called etiquette is to stand up first. When you stand up, you should straighten your body, look straight, put your hands together, and at the same time, the man is on the left and the woman is on the right, covering her sleeves
inside......."
"As for sitting posture, keep your knees together, sit on your buttocks on your heels, put your insteps on the ground, put your hands on your knees, look forward, and keep your waist straight."
"As for the salute..."
At this moment, Zhao Shu felt as if he had hired a private tutor to take classes, but he kept silently recording Ying Lang's explanations in his mind.
Every time, after Ying Lang explained, he would give a demonstration to Zhao Shu. At this time, Zhao Shu did not just watch, but followed and studied.
During this learning process, Ying Lang made corrections one by one to ensure that Zhao Shu's salute was accurate...
However, Zhao Shu has the gift of photographic memory, and it took him half a day to become familiar with these etiquette.
Then, Ying Lang smiled: "The general's learning ability is amazing. I have already taught the general all the basic etiquette of Great Qin."
"Today's study will stop here first. As for tomorrow, we will start to learn the detailed etiquette such as sacrificial etiquette and crowning ceremony."
"promise."
Zhao Shu saluted Ying Lang with a solemn tone and a sincere attitude: "Shu respectfully sends Mr. Shu——!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu's attitude towards Ying Lang was no longer the same. Before, he only regarded Ying Lang as an elder.
From today on, Ying Lang has a teacher-student relationship with him, and Zhao Shu also respects Ying Lang for his respect for knowledge.
Finally, Ying Lang left with a face filled with joy.
He was surprised by Zhao Shu's learning ability. Before he came, he was worried that Zhao Shu would not be able to learn.
At this moment, Ying Lang was very confident that before crowning Yongzhou and recognizing his ancestor and returning to the clan, he could make Zhao Shu what a royal prince should be like.
........
After watching Ying Lang leave, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sit on the stone pier in the courtyard, breathing heavily.
In his opinion, practicing etiquette is far more tiring than a killing spree, not only physically but also mentally.
It can be said that I am physically and mentally exhausted.
After seeing Ying Lang off, Zhao Shu raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was already sunset, and the sun was setting in the west, dyeing the sky golden.
"Master, the food is ready, do you want to eat now?" The maid came over in a hurry and asked Zhao Shu for instructions.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded: "Have someone deliver the meals to the study."
"promise."
The Korean princess and the Zhao princess are good-looking, well-educated, and have a desire to be protected.
Especially after the two countries were destroyed, the status of the two people changed drastically, which caused the two people to appear sad and pitiful.
Such a woman was very touching, but Zhao Shu chose to ignore her.
During this period of time, he was too busy and had no time or mind to think about the personal affairs of his children.
After all, he exercised with Tie Qi in the morning to lay the foundation for practicing the method of tempering qi and blood.
Then he followed Ying Lang to practice etiquette, and finally, even now, when the whole day was almost over, he had no time to spare.
He needs to read books, absorb the nutrients of this era crazily, and then transform physically and mentally into a qualified Qin person.
Now that he has come to Da Qin, and he is somewhat tightly bound to the chariot of Da Qin, then he has integrated into Da Qin.
In the past, there was no chance. I could only choose to join the army and achieve military exploits, title and status.
Now that Zhao Shu has the opportunity to study, he will naturally not let it go.
After eating in the study, Zhao Shu signaled the maid to remove the tableware, then lit the wind lantern and began to look through the bamboo slips.
........
In the blink of an eye, it’s half a month.
Zhao Shu's daily life was fully arranged. During these days, he knew all about the etiquette of Da Qin.
Similarly, he read through some classics in the Central Plains regarding the current situation in the Qin Dynasty.
He had read through all the bamboo slips in this mansion, and made comments and notes on many things.
At this moment, Zhao Shu, even in this era, can be said to be a man of great talent.
All the books in the study were finished. If he wanted to read again, he would have to look for royal classics, or buy them vigorously.
For a while, Zhao Shu no longer wanted to stay in the study or the mansion.
At this time, Li Si and others also returned to Xianyang.
"Master, an invitation has been sent from Tingwei's house, please come to the house to have a chat!" The elder of the family came over and said to Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded and said to Tie Qi beside him: "Tie Qi, prepare a jar of good wine and a car. I'm going to Ting Wei's house."
"promise."
Tie Qi was naturally aware of the relationship between Zhao Shu and Li Si. Zhao Shu had visited Zhang Han as soon as he entered Xianyang. Now that Li Si had returned, he naturally wanted to pay a formal visit to Li Si.
This is attitude.
Watching Tie Qi leave, Zhao Shu turned to the elder and said, "Tell the maid to prepare new clothes. After I wash up, I will set off!"
"promise."
Zhao Shu looked at the small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard with a smile on his lips. Li Si's return was a good thing.
He had some doubts in his mind, so he could ask Li Si.
Zhao Shu knew very well that in the entire Qin Dynasty, except for the King of Qin, there were not many people who were more shrewd and knowledgeable than Li Si.
Wang Jian and Li Mu also count.
However, his relationship with Li Mu and Wang Jian has not reached that level yet.
Moreover, he knew that people like Li Si had a large collection of books at home, which might be able to meet his needs.
Moreover, civil servants like Li Si will generally not reject people who are eager to learn, and will have a better impression of them.
Because they are all the same type of people and clearly understand the importance of reading and literacy.
