"Little Shigong!"
"Master!"
"Xu Gong!"
Although Xu Song has been an official for many years, he is a famous official in the Wei Dynasty. Whether in the countryside or in the court, he still retains his power. As soon as he walked out, everyone in the ancestral hall, including the Xu family and the guests, were surprised and greeted him repeatedly.
As soon as Xu Song moved a chair and sat down, Shen Xuan came forward and said happily: "I didn't expect that my nephew would be able to meet Xiao Shigong this time. It's such a blessing for this junior!"
Xu Song had already learned from Xu He that he wanted to meet him. Seeing his slightly exaggerated surprise, Xu Song just smiled and said: "It turns out that she is Brother Zong Qian's beautiful son!"
Shen Xuan's father's name is Shen Han, with the courtesy name Zongqian and the Chinese character Tonggan, which means backbone. "The Book of Songs·Daya" says: "The great state is Weiping, the great state is Weihan."
This is where the name Shen Han comes from.
Shen Xuan said respectfully: "My father always said that Mr. Xiao Shi is a talented man in both civil and military affairs. He is a outstanding figure in the world. I am lucky to meet you. Please take the time to meet Mr. Xiao Shi, so that I can listen to your teachings in person!"
Xu Song nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I don't dare to teach you, please come to the house to talk to me later!"
After finishing speaking, Xu Song nodded to Li Zhijie and said, "Master Li, please wait a moment before picking up the characters! You've got to work!"
Li Zhijie had obviously received Xu Song's letter and was well aware of the process, so he nodded and made a gesture of invitation.
Xu Song smiled and nodded, then turned around and said, "Everyone, thank you for coming to attend the crowning ceremony of Xu He, the junior of my Xu family!"
Speaking of this, he pointed at Xu He and said: "I'm not in good health, and I don't want to waste everyone's time. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
The guests all laughed after hearing this.
Xu Song smiled and said: "Xu He's father died early, and there is only a widowed mother in the family. It is our family who have not fulfilled our responsibilities in recent years, causing them and their children to suffer a lot."
"but……"
"Xu He is a very sensible boy. He is poor but strong. He doesn't have many ambitions. Everyone must have heard that he is the head of three cases in the county examination, government examination and road examination. Xiao Sanyuan!"
"Master Fu Zun..." After saying this, he bowed his hands to Chen Hua: "Also Hailing's parents, Master Chen, personally wrote a plaque and sent it to him."
"To encourage the students of the Xu family, I will hang two plaques on the ancestral hall today during the ceremony of He'er!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Hanging the plaque in the ancestral hall is simply a matter of great honor in this era.
Some small families also have to hang a plaque to celebrate when a child is born in the family.
But the Xu family is not a small family.
Look at the plaque on the beam of the Xu Family Ancestral Hall.
In the middle is the plaque "Kejia Liufang" personally written by the emperor. It was a plaque of praise written by Emperor Zhizheng himself after Xu Song became a Jinshi scholar and heard that the Xu family and his son were officials in the same dynasty.
To the left and right of Kejia Liufang there is a large plaque saying "Jinshi and No.". This is a plaque specially issued by the court after Xu Fan and Xu Song were awarded Jinshi.
Other than that, there is nothing else on the beam.
But can the Xu family hang other plaques?
In fact it is possible.
Because even if you are a tribute student, you can still spend money to ask the master of the government to write a plaque and hang it in your ancestral hall.
However, this kind of innocence is just to put money on one's face, and the Xu family doesn't even bother to do it.
At this time, Xu Song clapped his hands and saw the Xu family members who were carrying the plaque lifted the first plaque.
This is the "Juvenile Ming Jing" specially inscribed by Chen Hua for Xu He.
The Ming Jing, a subject for electing officials that appeared in the Han Dynasty, began during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and was abolished during the period of Shenzong of the Song Dynasty. Those who are recommended must study the classics clearly, so they are named "Ming Jing". Gong Sui, Zhai Fangjin and others all entered official positions with the Ming Dynasty.
Mingjing refers to those who are proficient in the classics, and later refers to Confucian scholars.
Being called proficient in Confucian classics shows that our County Master Chen highly recognizes Xu He's knowledge.
This means that Chen Hua knew Xu He and had at least read the Thirteen Classics by heart. Otherwise, if he had written this plaque and asked Xu He about the meaning of the scriptures, Xu He would have slapped Chen Hua in the face if Xu He pulled his crotch.
Although Chen Hua is a seventh-grade county magistrate, he is also a non-commissioned officer and is very face-conscious. Therefore, even if the plaque is a compliment, it cannot be written in vain.
When all the guests saw this, they were further impressed by Xu He's talent and learning. From when he first entered the house, "This boy is very lucky" to now, "This boy has three brushes but one brush missing", there is only such a plaque in between.
The craftsman who had been found in advance quickly climbed up the ladder and hung the plaque in front of everyone.
Although this plaque cannot be ranked behind the Jinshi plaque, its position is quite conspicuous. When the descendants of the Xu family saw this scene, their eyes turned red.
Chen Hua stroked his beard proudly upon seeing this. If his calligraphy could be hung in the Xu family ancestral hall, it would be something he could brag about for a lifetime.
At this time, Xu Song said: "Please ask Peng Zhifu for a plaque!"
Pulling down the red silk, Xu He saw four big characters written on the plaque: "三元与地".
"I'll go!" Xu He was startled. Lao Peng had gone too far!
The three-yuan grade can only be called the three-yuan grade in the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace exam. Our weight is not enough. It belongs to the water.
But if you look closely, it turns out that there is a "small" character in front of "三" in Sanyuanjidi.
Forehead……
Xiao Sanyuan passed the exam.
All right!
Does Lao Peng also play tricks?
For example, when you go to some ancestral halls, you will see a huge Jinshi plaque as soon as you enter the door.
Don't think that there must have been a Jinshi in this family.
You have to walk in carefully and take a look.
Maybe the words [En] and [Sui] are written on some corner of this plaque.
This is because among the students of the Imperial College were Sui Gong and En Gong. Like Juren and Jinshi, they were also regarded as having a legitimate background, so their social status was quite high.
Relatives and friends would raise money to ask the local magistrate to write a plaque and hang it up in order to compliment him.
Just write Ngong and Suigong directly and it is not as loud as Jinshi, so just...
This kind of situation was very common in later generations, especially in the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Lao Peng didn't learn it well and actually picked it up and used it in this era.
This situation was rare in the Wei Dynasty.
But not only did everyone not talk nonsense, but they were particularly greedy.
After all, Magistrate Peng has always had a good reputation, so he would definitely not write such a plaque just to flatter the Xu family.
The only explanation is that people are optimistic about Xu He and acted voluntarily.
Damn, I can't think about it. The more I think about it, the more jealous I become of Xu He.
When Xiao Sanyuan and his plaque were hung up in the ancestral hall, Xu Song waved to Xu He.
After Xu He came over, he pointed at the [Youth Ming Jing] and said, "Master Chen, what does this plaque mean?"
"Wealth must come from hard work, and a man must read five carts of books."
The guests in the hall nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This boy answered well!
Xu Song also nodded with satisfaction, pointed to Xiao Sanyuan's plaque and asked, "Master Peng, what does this plaque mean?"
"If a bird wants to fly high, it first flutters its wings; if a person wants to make progress, he first studies; if no one asks him for ten years, he will become famous in one fell swoop!" Xu He answered loudly!
Everyone in the audience was filled with admiration, wishing that Xu He was his own son.
Xu Song sighed and said: "The real Xu Jialuan is a phoenix!"
Then he turned to Li Zhijie and asked, "Be careful, have you chosen the Chinese character Xu He properly?"
Li Zhijie looked at Xu He who was kneeling in front of him and said warmly: "The auspicious moon is the day of the month, which is the Canadian dollar. Mao Jing is the inheritance, Yongjie Jingfu! The word given to you is [Liang Sheng]."
Since then, Xu He and Xu Liangsheng have grown up!
