A good night's dream.

"Oh oh oh!"

The sound of roosters crowing one after another wakes up the sleeping people.

The sky was cloudless, a rare sunny day.

Dabao got up early, washed up, and sat in the kitchen waiting for Zhong Chuchu to heat up the meal.

"You are going to enter the academy today, are you scared?"

He shook his head: "Not afraid!"

Zhong Chuchu chuckled, remembering that when she was in kindergarten, she cried every day, and she still heard this from her mother.

It took her a full semester before she finally got used to it.

I hope this kid won't cry when the time comes.

The two of them had breakfast and waited for Zhao Mei to come over before going out with confidence.

Early in the morning, there were very few people on the street.

Zhong Chuchu took Dabao's hand and went to Luming College.

Luming College is built on the edge of Qingyan Town.

Although it was built in a town, it was because of Kufuzi's reputation.

Many families in the county are willing to send their children here.

The mother and son walked straight along the main road until they reached the end of the road.

At the second intersection, turn left and walk about 50 meters until you reach a large house.

At first glance, you will see a vermilion gate.

A simple wooden plaque hangs above the gate, with the four characters "Luming Academy" written on it.

At this time, just in time for school, a group of young people dressed as scholars walked in in groups, carrying book boxes.

Zhong Chuchu walked to the concierge and saw a hunched old man cleaning.

"Old man, please tell me where should I go to report that my child is enrolling today?"

The old man looked at her intently and said, "You must be Mrs. Zhong!"

I turned around and saw Dabao again.

"This must be Young Master Lin Jin!"

Dabao said obediently: "Hello, grandpa~"

"Hey...hey...ok~"

The old man's eyes narrowed as he smiled.

"You just come with me, Kufuzi has already said hello and asked me to welcome you here."

The old man led the way and led them into the academy.

There is a winding verandah at the entrance, and there is a bluestone corridor under the steps, with small houses on both sides.

Follow the Yong Road to the end, turn right and enter the back school.

The old man led them to a wooden house.

Knocked on the door.

"Gu Fuzi, they're here."

"Come in." Kufuzi's familiar voice came from inside.

The old man pushed the door open and said, "Go in, I'll be waiting outside the door and give you any instructions."

Zhong Chuchu nodded, thanked her, and went in with Dabao in hand.

This wooden house looks very ordinary from the outside, but it is really special inside.

There was a space of forty or fifty square meters inside, and a row of antique bookshelves lined up against the wall.

It was neatly filled with books and bamboo slips.

This wall alone is priceless!

In the center of the room is a large rosewood carved table with various famous people's dharma stickers placed on it. An exquisite inkstone is placed in the upper right corner.

The jade pen holder and pen holder are placed next to it, with dozens of brushes of various sizes inserted and hanging inside.

On the left side is a white jade flowerpot with clivias inside that are carefully cared for.

A large picture of mist and rain hangs on the west wall, and a couplet hangs on the left and right. I don't know who the calligraphy is, but I can see that the calligraphy is powerful and encompasses the universe.

Zhong Chuchu secretly smacked her tongue in her heart. This wooden house seemed to be simply decorated, but it revealed the elegance and strength of the owner in every way.

Fortunately, she prepared the ceremony of apprenticeship.

If we follow the usual rules, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to deal with.

She doesn't mean that the apprenticeship ceremony must be as expensive as possible. She should do everything according to her ability, as long as it can express her own intention.It's just that the master-disciple relationship at this time was not as casual as it would be in later generations.

Since the last emperor, this dynasty has promoted "the dignity of teachers".

The word "master" truly means being like a teacher or a father.

Be a teacher for a day and be a father for life!
In this etiquette society that puts ethical education first, the concept of respecting teachers and respecting Taoism has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The social status of teachers is so high that it ranks with heaven, earth, kings and relatives.

Therefore, Zhong Chuchu paid special attention to this matter.

Although Kufuzi would not treat students differently because of the value of an apprenticeship ceremony.

But who doesn’t like the feeling of being taken seriously?
Kufuzi was sitting in front of the window, with an unfinished chess game on the table.

He was thinking about where to place his chess piece next.

Seeing the two people coming in, he waved to them and said with a smile: "Come over and sit down."

"This is the endgame. I've been studying it for two days, but there's no way to break it."

Dabao asked curiously: "What is this?"

"Haha, there are still things you don't know!" Ge Fuzi joked.

"My mother once said that knowing something means knowing it, and not knowing means knowing it. This is knowing."

"My mother never taught me this, so I don't know how to do it yet."

Dabao said seriously.

“It’s precisely because I don’t know many things that I want to study.”

The more Gu Fuzi listened, the more satisfied he became with him.

There was a little more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Zhong Chuchu.

Zhong Chuchu sat down, and Dabao stood upright next to her.

"Mr. Ge, I brought the child here today. Thank you for taking him in."

She thanked her sincerely.

"The child is still young, so I ask you to worry more about it when you get older."

After saying this, she turned to Dabao and said, "Go ahead and give your teacher a cup of tea."

Dabao nodded. His mother had already asked him to practice this many times when he was at home.

Zhong Chuchu actually doesn't understand the etiquette of apprenticeship in this era.

The original person did not know the details of Lin Xiucai's apprenticeship at that time.

This set of etiquette was found in a book she found in the Almighty Mall, and she just followed the book.

Whether the talisman fits this dynasty or not is unknown.

Dabao picked up a cup of tea and held it respectfully in front of Elder Ge with both hands.

"Teacher, please drink tea."

Mr. Ge took the teacup, took a sip, and then handed the teacup back to him.

Next, Dabao kowtowed three times.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Zhong Chuchu, the apprenticeship ceremony that had been prepared long ago was presented.

Mr. Ge looked confused and reached out to take a silver-gray drawstring bag.

But it was about the size of a palm, and it seemed to contain something hard, quite heavy.

He looked up and saw the mother and son looking at him with earnest expressions.

He had no choice but to take back the words he was about to blurt out.

Open the bag and take out the contents. It is a small, round object, which looks very simple at first glance.

I don’t know what material it is made of, but it feels smooth and delicate.

The carved auspicious clouds on it are exquisite and exquisite.

The hollow inlaid in the middle is actually a piece of colorless and transparent glass.

Elder Ge took a deep breath.

Just for this piece of glass, this thing is already extremely precious.

This apprenticeship ceremony is too precious.

He was satisfied that the other party valued him, but he was also angry that the other party used money to measure the teacher-student friendship.

Zhong Chuchu is the best at observing words and expressions. When he saw this, he hurriedly explained:
"Mr. Ge, this pocket watch is the apprenticeship ceremony prepared by my master for my son."

"It was brought back from overseas and is extremely exquisite."
