In fact, logically speaking, a newborn child only needs to have a nickname. Only when they reach the age of entering school will they be given a nickname, and then when they are crowned, the elders will choose the name, and that's it.
The most fundamental reason why the Sheng family is different is because the Sheng family has a weak foundation and poor heirs. In the entire Sheng family, every male is highly valued.
Of course, it would be even more unusual if he were a legitimate son.
In short, Sheng Hong chose Sheng Changquan's name for Brother Tuan in advance, and it was just in accordance with the Sheng family's rules, and it was not anything out of the ordinary.
…
Since Sheng Hong came to Beijing to serve as Cheng Zhilang, the Sheng family has basically completely settled in Tokyo. Therefore, after everything is settled, Sheng Hong begins to find a husband for his children and prepares them. The matter of entering school.
At the right time, it was an old gentleman named Zhuang Ru who had the best reputation and the best knowledge in the teaching world. He had the most disciples who had obtained Jinshi.
Zhuang Ru is a skinny but energetic old man. Although he has long hair and an old face, his wise eyes can always penetrate people's hearts and see through the students' little thoughts at a glance. Therefore, ordinary people All the students under him respected and feared him.
Therefore, it is only natural that Mr. Zhuang Ru has such outstanding talents.
In fact, Sheng Hong had already invited Mr. Zhuang to come to his house to teach students a few years ago. He sent several carts of gifts, and Chen Ken wrote more than a dozen letters. However, Mr. Zhuang’s teaching quality was well-known. , the student success rate is high, which leads to good business and no time available.
Moreover, if the old lady Sheng Xu and Mr. Zhuang Ru had not been in love, Sheng Hong would never have been able to get along with Mr. Zhuang.
After all, from ancient times to the present, all famous teachers have always had no worries about their livelihood. In addition, Mr. Zhuang Ru has already reached that age, and any physical temptation is of little use. The only thing that can impress him is psychological. Reasons are tied up.
The old man Sheng Xu and the old Mr. Zhuang Ru were in the same year. They had taken the provincial examination together and passed the national examination. The relationship between the two was quite good. If it weren't for the bad luck of the old Mr. Zhuang Ru, he did not have the opportunity to participate in the examination. I am afraid that the two of them can join hands in official circles and conspire for big things.
It's a pity that after the rural examination, when Mr. Zhuang Ru was preparing for the third-year general examination, his mother passed away and Ding You was needed, so he missed one session. After three years, he finally passed the Ding You period and was ready to take the exam again. At the time of the examination, Mrs. Zhuang's grandfather passed away, and then Ding You had to attend the funeral and missed it for three years.
After repeated attempts several times, Mr. Zhuang Ru also gradually gave up his interest in scientific examination. He felt that he really had no chance to take the test. He lay in bed for three days and three nights in a daze. After Mr. Zhuang Ru woke up, he finally Finally, I made up my mind not to take the scientific examination anymore, and just wanted my loved ones to enjoy their old age in peace.
As long as it is gold, it can shine wherever it goes. No one can imagine it. Mr. Zhuang Ru himself has no destiny to take the scientific examination, but his students are all pretty good. It is not said that everyone can pass the Jinshi examination, but every two or three Within this period, someone must be able to participate in the palace examination and become one of the top three.
As a result, Mr. Zhuang Ru's reputation as a famous teacher became an instant hit and completely appeared in everyone's eyes. Countless people came forward to beg and ask the old Mr. Zhuang Ru to come back to teach as disciples, but they always failed. .
Even this time for the Sheng family, it was just a coincidence.
When Mr. Zhuang celebrated his fiftieth birthday a few months ago, he had too much fun at the banquet and couldn't help but drink two more drinks. Then he unfortunately contracted a cold and lay in bed for more than a month before he gradually recovered. Get better.
After the doctor's consultation, he suggested that the old man stop teaching and concentrate on taking care of his own body. It would be better not to accept students and concentrate on taking care of his own body, so that he could live for a few more years.
Mr. Zhuang touched his old bones, which did not have much weight left. Finally, he felt that his life was in danger, so he closed his private university and prepared to focus on retirement.
However, after many years of teaching and educating people, Mr. Zhuang Ru also felt depressed after he had some free time. He always felt depressed. As time went by, he actually found that his health was worse than before.
At this moment, Sheng Hong sent a large cart of gifts as a gift from his nephew, in an attempt to invite the old man to come out and teach a few unpromising boys in his family. The old man thought about his relationship with Mr. Sheng Xu. Friendship, and I really couldn't bear the leisure, so I really accepted Sheng Hong's invitation and prepared to come to Beijing.
At this time, Sheng Hong was so happy that he hurriedly sent his eldest son Sheng Changbai to Shandong to invite Mr. Zhuang Ru to come to Beijing with him. Along the way, he could not only serve scholars, but also take the opportunity to ask for advice and get along well. impression.
It has to be said that Sheng Hong worked really hard for his children.
More than a month later, Mr. Zhuang Ru leisurely arrived in front of the Sheng Mansion. At the same time, there was also a very energetic wife. Mr. Zhuang Ru's daughter had married far away in Jinzhong early in his life, and his son was in the south. I became an official in a county, but I don't know the details. I only know that Mr. Zhuang Ru didn't like the environment there and seemed to have some conflicts with his son.
Seeing the arrival of the famous teacher, Sheng Hong specially opened a small garden on the west side of the house and renovated it over the past few days for Mr. Zhuang and his wife to live in.
The old couple only had three or two servants accompanying them, but there were twenty or thirty luggage boxes and cages, all of which were heavy. It seemed that the family had a lot of money, and their income from teaching was also quite high.
Originally, Sheng Hong asked Mr. Zhuang Ru to come to the government for the education of his two sons. However, being a bit cunning by nature, he finally felt that good teachers should not be wasted, so after respectful discussions with Mr. Zhuang, he Another extra step was to include the three girls and the youngest Tuan Geer as auditors.
However, Tuan Ge'er is still young after all, so we can only make reservations first. We plan to wait until he grows up, and then enter a private school when he is three or four years old, and Mr. Zhuang Ru will give him some guidance.
Of course, the last few are additional. The most important ones at the moment are Sheng Changbai and Sheng Changfeng. They have to take the scientific examination in recent years, and they need the guidance of Mr. Zhuang Ru.
So, the day before school started, Sheng Hong called his children to give them instructions. Even Sheng Changquan, who was still breastfeeding, was brought over by him.
First came Changbai and Changfeng. As usual, Sheng Hong started with the topic of managing the world and benefiting the people, and ended with "Guangzong Yaozu", interspersed with two sentences about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. Both boys nodded in agreement, Changbai responded seriously, and Changfeng responded. It means bowing your head and saying yes.
