Chapter 382: Visiting My Adoptive Father
It is very particular that a rich family asks a gentleman to name a child. Before! Da Nizi prepared a generous gift and sent it to Min Shigong, asking Mr. Min: Would you like to name her son?
It's an appointment! If the gentleman does not want to, he will refuse to accept the gift. If you want to, accept the gift and promise it. When the host is leaving, give him some gifts to take home.
You can't accept as much as others give, and you will receive corresponding gifts according to the other party's family conditions and politeness.
Other words! If you are poor, you will receive less, and if you are rich, you will receive more. Other than that! Depending on your mood, you can charge more if you want, and collect less if you want.
After agreeing on a good day and auspicious days, I will go to the master's house to name the baby. In fact! During this time, the gentleman was thinking: what to name the little baby? With a buffer period, you can think about it and come up with the best name.
Temporarily ask Mr. to name the baby, because the time is in a hurry, it is difficult for Mr. to come up with a good name.
In the past few days, Min Shigong has been so anxious! Because of Lege's special situation, it is really not easy to name his son. In desperation! As soon as he was free, he discussed with Confucius: What to name these two little babies?
When it comes to naming names, he really doesn't feel like he's an expert! Opposite! I think Confucius has a very set of rules. Isn't it? When Confucius was only a teenager, he named the two sons of his benefactor Fang Jishi. And! The names of these two people are very good: one is called Fang Zhong and the other is called Fang Shu. Loyalty and forgiveness, loyalty and forgiveness! It can be understood both independently and collectively.
"This?" Confucius is also not good at making decisions for his husband. Furthermore! He should respect the gentleman and not be the master of the gentleman. And also! He believes! Min Shigong has that ability to come up with a good name. After all! The knowledge of others rests there. And he! The scope of knowledge is too narrow, and no matter how flexible the brain is, it can't be flexible.
Of course! It wasn't Da Nizi who came to invite Mr. Min Shigong Min in person. But! Everything was arranged by her. The gifts were all arranged by her, and she came, just! The person who came forward was Lege.
Anyway! She is a woman, not a parent. And Lege! It's a parent! Householder. As a baby and a room, she can come forward to accompany her.
Lege had no choice, so he had to pretend to make the situation and "please sir" in the traditional way.
If someone asks you to name your baby, you will not refuse under normal circumstances. It's face! Explain that others look up to you and regard you as a learned person.
Only people who do not have ink dare not name others.
Ancient people were very modest, unlike modern people, and the streets were full of Feng Shui gentlemen with names. In fact! Most people are uneducated. I didn't have much ink in my stomach, so I read a few books on names and feng shui. In fact, they don't know that those books are superstitions and have little scientific basis. They just follow what the books say, draw the scoop according to the gourd, thinking that this is the name, thinking that they know Feng Shui.
In order to name Lege's two sons, Confucius made a special arrangement.
It takes at least a day to go to Da Nizi's side to name someone's son. So! You have to make arrangements so that you can't delay the school.
And also! He himself and the Qi official clan are all going to go. If you don't arrange it, there will be no family in the school.
But! Yan Lu, Zeng Dian and others are all their own people, as long as they make it clear to them, there is absolutely no problem in letting them manage the school. Zeng Dian, in particular, is a very nice person. There are many things that he can be the master of, dare to be the master. And Yan Lu! Some are indecisive.
Before dawn that day, Da Nizi got up, personally arranged for the people below, and prepared a carriage to go to the school to invite Mr. over. Other than that! Let the kitchen prepare breakfast for the gentleman.
Note: It's breakfast! It's not Chinese food!
Breakfast has a special taste, Chinese food has a special taste, and dinner has a special taste. Other than that! The main meal has the attention of the main meal, and the light meal (working meal) has the attention of the light meal, and so on.
When everything is ready, I will come and pick up Mr. in person.
When I came to the Confucius School, the genius was bright, and the door of the school had not yet opened. Da Nizi didn't get out of the carriage, let alone knock on the door. But! Sitting in the carriage and waiting, looking pious.
Last night's music was not on her side, but on the school's side. She had already discussed it with Le Ge and the others in advance, and everything was being arranged.
Lege's side also got up before dawn, washed lightly, and then prepared for the door.
Min Shigong! In fact, he had already woken up, but he didn't want to get up early to prepare. But! The installation is more normal than the installation. Even if you can't sleep or get up, you must wait until dawn before getting up to wash. He heard the movements of Le Ge and Wolf Sister in the next room clearly.
Confucius and Qi Guan, who were in front, had already woken up. Qi Guan got up to wash, and urged Confucius to get up too. But Confucius didn't remember to be so early, lying in bed. Qi Guanshi shouted a few times and saw that it had no effect, so he didn't bother to shout. Anyway! It's still early. It's useless early, and I have to wait for the carriage from Da Nizi's side to come and pick it up.
In what capacity did Confucius go?
Naturally, it is not the gentleman's husband, but the identity of the uncle.
Qi Guan's is Lege's sister and baby's aunt. Confucius is Lege's brother-in-law and baby's uncle.
Naturally, the gentleman should have a learned family member and relative to accompany him, and this person is Confucius. Accompanying Mr. Min as Confucius is both reasonable and in line with the status of the master's family.
In fact! It is in line with the status of the Fei family. And the master of Lege is a nominal and puppet master.
With the social status of the Fei family and Feiqing, asking Mr. Min to name the child is very face-saving, and both parties have face. And Confucius, as a foil, also has face, and can bring face to the Fei family.
Confucius used this identity as a foil!
Before it was the usual opening time, Le Ge went to the gate of the front yard to open the school hall at the strong request of the wolf sister. Outcome! I found out that Da Nizi was here. This surprised Le Ge: Da Nizi is so attentive, she really deserves to be a descendant of a businessman.
In order to please Da Nizi, Lege quickly stepped forward to help Da Nizi out of the carriage, and then helped her into it.
The maid held the baby who was still sleeping and did not get out of the car. Others, just stand by.
Da Nizi didn't come to Confucius's side and went directly to the backyard. Seeing that Mr. Min Shigong Min hadn't opened the door yet, he didn't be disturbed and entered the wolf sister's house. waited until Min Shigong pretended to open the door, and then let Le Ge in the front, and she and the wolf sister in the back, came to invite Mr. seriously.
