First, the ceremony of apprenticeship,

First, we need to worship the ancestors and the protectors of the industry. At the same time, we also pray to the ancestors for "blessing" to make our own practice successful.

Second, the ceremony of apprenticeship is usually performed by the master, the master’s wife sits at the upper seat, the disciple performs three bows, and then kneels to present red envelopes and posts to the master.

Third, the master teaches and announces the rules of the sect, etc., generally educates the disciples to respect the ancestors and abide by the rules, encourages the disciples to be innocent and practice Taoism hard.

At noon,

Xu Huai led everyone through courtyards after courtyard. After about five minutes, he came to a special building.

The whole building is mainly dark tones, painted with black door paint, and the gray bricks and tiles on the roof stand alone away from other buildings. It makes people feel serious and quiet at a glance.

When I looked up, I saw a light-colored plaque with golden edges hanging in the center of the building, with four words written on it: "Xu Family Ancestral Temple".

In the Xu family’s ancestral temple,

Xu Huai was sitting in the upper seat, serious, dignified, expressionless, no longer as gentle as before. The old Taoist sat on Xu Huai's right hand, witnessing and presided over the apprenticeship ceremony.

"This is the first day of the Lunar New Year, at noon, when yin and yang alternate, Yu Yuxuzi is not talented, so he checks for Xu Huai, a junior of the Xu family. Ning Shuxue, a Ning family, completed the ceremony of apprenticeship in front of the ancestors of the Xu family!"

"Word to the ancestors! Please bless the ancestors of the family!"

The old Taoist shouted loudly!

Then, Ning Shuxue came to the tablets among the ancestors of the Xu family and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"Accusing a master, I ask my master to teach you all my strength to make you successful in your studies!" The old Taoist continued!

Then, Ning Shuxue came to Xu Huai, knelt down respectfully, and also kowtowed three times!

"Tea for you!"

Ning Shuxue got up, picked up a cup of hot tea from the table beside her, and handed the tea to Xu Huai with both hands and said:

"Master, please have tea!!"

Xu Huai took it with one hand, opened the tea lid with his right hand, sniffed it slightly, and then placed it on the table beside him, and said:

"good!"

"Disciple, do the six rituals and rituals!" The old Taoist continued, moving forward with the next step.

I saw Ning Shuxue holding a plate in her hand and slowly walked up. There were six spaces in the plate, containing celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longans, and tall and lean meat strips, symbolizing six bunches.

After taking it away, Xu Huai took out an ancient book "The Analects of Confucius" from his arms, and gave Ning Shuxue a plate of onions, saying:

"Study the first chapter of college with me!"

"The way of university lies in the clear virtue, in the people, and in the ultimate good.

Only by knowing the cessation can one have concentration, only by being calm can one be calm, only by being calm can one be at peace, only by being at peace can one be considered, only by thinking can one get it.

Things have their roots and ends, and things have their beginnings and beginnings. If you know where to start and end, then you will be in a close way…………”

Three minutes later, the first chapter of college was finished!

This symbolizes the important responsibility of "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts".

"Master's lecture!!!"

The old Taoist continued to shout, starting the last step of the apprenticeship ceremony!

"There is a truth, the master leads it to the door, and it depends on your personal practice. I hope that in the future, you can stick to your original intention, and continue to practice firmly!!"

Xu Huai did not make big statements, and was separated from the previous cumbersomeness. He just said a few simple words to Ning Shuxue, warning her that the things she should pay attention to in the future were exactly what he was doing.

"Yes, Master, Shu Xue will definitely work hard to practice in the future and will not be humiliating the family!" Ning Shuxue replied firmly.

"The 860th generation head of the Xu family, Xu Huai, disciple of Ning Shuxue, is included in the genealogy!"

…………………

night,

The originally bustling courtyard was completely deserted. After the old Taoist presided over Xu Huai's apprenticeship at noon, he disappeared directly and continued his travels through the mountains and rivers.

As for Ning Shuxue's family, Shuxue was the only one who stayed. I wondered, his parents were not ordinary people, and they were so powerful that they could not miss socializing and essential New Year greetings, and communicate and maintain relationships on such an important festival.

In this way, only Xu Huai, Ning Shuxue, little girl, Dabai, Dabai Niu and Little Squirrel were left at home.

If Mr. Wang had sent the little girl back just now, the family would have been even more deserted.

Xu Huai looked at the little girl with a bulging purse and knew that she had received a lot of New Year's money and was constantly happy.

"Brother, no, this is the New Year's money given to me by my grandparents!" The little girl took out a large stack of red envelopes from her purse with her little hands.

After a little look, there are at least forty or fifty.

"It seems that my little fairy is rich too! Come on, let me put it away for you, brother!" Xu Huai said with a smile, handed over and asked the little girl for a red envelope.

“Give it…give it…give it…give it…give it!”

The little girl grabbed the red envelope with her slim little hands, twisted and squeezed, looking reluctant to let it go.

That made Xu Huai laugh.

"It's not too big yet, I'm so cute! I won't care about everything at home in the future." Xu Huai thought to himself.

In the end, the little girl was reluctant to give the red envelope to Xu Huai without hesitation.

The little girl knew that carrying so many red envelopes on her was not only very troublesome, but she would definitely lose them.

"Sister Shu Xue, you are here!"

The little girl who just came back focused on the red envelope in her hand, and didn't notice Ning Shuxue standing beside her. She didn't react until then.

Then, he threw himself into Ning Shuxue's arms.

I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the little girl misses Ning Shuxue very much. As soon as she sees Ning Shuxue, she keeps sticking to her.
Chapter completed!
