Chapter 335: The Qionglin Banquet (2)
In March every year, Jinmingchi is full of spring, peach like brocade, willow green like smoke, pink butterflies among flowers, yellow orioles on the trees, splendid spring scenery, beautiful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe residents of the capital poured out of the city and quarreled to go to Jinmingchi for an outing.
This year's scientific expedition did not go well, with ups and downs, and caused a sensation in the capital, which really made people inside and outside the government and the opposition jump in shock.
The final number of students admitted to the re-examination was 168, most of whom were candidates from all over the south, east and west, as well as rising stars from Bianjing.
And the most talked about is the sons of several families in the capital, who are young, born in official eunuchs, all talented and beautiful, hot and sought after by others.
One of them is Xie Yi, Xie Yi became famous early, participated in the children's test at the age of thirteen, and became Xie Yuan, known as Xie Thirteen.
Xie 13 traveled for several years, and finally went home, and now he has made a sensation again with the first place in the three ceremonial examinations, but it is a pity that Xie 13 missed the palace examination and missed the champion appointed by the emperor.
With Xie Yi's talent, no one believes that Xie 13 will not win the top spot, and Lianzhong Sanyuan is easy for Xie Yi, but the final outcome is not as expected.
Thinking of those who threw Xie Yi as the champion, no one sighed and regretted, of course, there were also people who scattered their family wealth for this, turned their property into sales, and became homeless people who had nowhere to go, so they found trouble in front of the Xie family's mansion.
This matter is a later story, so I will not mention it for the time being.
It is said that Xie Shisan's literary talent is outstanding, his demeanor is strange, he is smart and fast, his rhetoric is clear, his temperament is wanton, he is chic and free, and he is not constrained by the family at all, and now it seems that this is really the case. The young man left home to study, and now he missed the palace exam, and all kinds of actions are afraid that even Master Xie is helpless against him.
Those who are familiar with Xie Shisan know where he is really sick, it is just an excuse for not wanting to participate in the palace examination, as for why, of course the son of the Xie family will not tell others that he does not want to be sharp and cause death. If outsiders want to guess, they won't guess this layer, but they will only guess that Xie Thirteen is afraid that he is thinking about leaving home to study again.
Then there is Lu Youhan, who is a member of the department, Jinshi and the first, and the appearance of Lu Xiang's eldest grandson is picturesque, so the emperor appointed him as Tanhualang. I only heard that Tanhualang is diligent and studious, hard-working, good at rhetoric, and has splendid chapters. When he was a teenager, he was the prince's companion, and when he entered and exited the court, he was guided by the prince and the prince Wen Shuyi, and now he has entered the department in one fell swoop, and I don't know how many people's eyes are red.
Lu Xiangye is in a high position, and now he has a grandson of Jinshi and Di, and the entire Lu family is proud of it.
There is also Chen Boyuan, the new champion appointed by the emperor, who is the eldest grandson of the founding county duke, who is not yet seventeen years old this year, and his peers are beyond reach. This son of the Chen family is very low-key on weekdays, and he doesn't like to talk to people, and some people often say that he is very arrogant. But his talent in the palace examination is the most agile, the most outstanding strategy, and now he has won the championship in one fell swoop, which is naturally in the limelight, and the new champion young man is being discussed inside and outside the capital.
These three people are the most famous in Beijing.
Then there is Shen Da, who is not afraid of power, has the courage to report, and is talented, and has won the emperor's favor.
Flower banquet Qionglin, the emperor came in person, Luan drove the momentum, from the palace to the suburbs of the city, a group of princes and princes and civil and military courtiers were mighty, and most of them came.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who was confined in the first two months, also followed closely behind the emperor, wearing a red robe and red clothes to show his dignity, and standing next to His Royal Highness the King of Chu was wearing a silver robe and white robe, a gold silk embroidered thread placket, a moire belt, a goldfish bag, and a white jade pendant hanging His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
I saw that he had red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, red lips that were not red, a white complexion, a warm appearance like jade, an elegant and subtle bearing, and unattainable.
That Zhuang Jing was far away, and the moment he looked up, his eyes lit up, and he praised in a low voice, "I thought that Lu Tanhua was gentle and elegant, but I didn't know that there were still people who were really like jade, expensive but not flashy, and I didn't know which adult was the one with the silver robe and golden crown?"
"This is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the son of the first emperor. Shen Da beside him replied in a low voice.
"King Qin?" Zhuang Jinghui admired, "No wonder he has a noble temperament, but he turned out to be the heir of the first emperor." ā
"Brother Shen, I really admire that I know so many people. ā
Shen Da explained, "Brother Zhuang praised, King Qin's filial piety was in the sky, I heard about the filial piety of King Qin, heard that King Qin had a gentle temperament, and his bearing was similar, and he walked next to His Royal Highness King Chu, so I guessed that it was His Royal Highness King Qin." ā
"It's still Brother Shen's discernment. ā
The Qionglin Banquet is also the day of the reward for the Jinshi and the first, the Internal Supervision Committee read the will loudly, and the sound resounded throughout the Qionglin Garden, even if the people who watched the excitement outside the Qionglin Banquet could hear the reward given by the emperor.
Chen Boyuan, the juvenile champion, was awarded the Dali Division and appointed as the observer of Fengxiang Mansion.
Shen Da was awarded the official to supervise the imperial history from the seven grades.
Tanhualang Lu Youhan was appointed as a prisoner, and Ren Tong sentenced Chen Zhou.
There are too many other recruits to list.
Although Chen Boyuan and Lu Youhan's official positions are eight grades, they are still young after all, and they have not been crowned. It can also be seen that the emperor treats everyone equally, and will not confer high positions because they are from a family.
After the long will was recited, the ministers gave thanks, and then the formal feast was held.
There are banquets and their own hundred opera performances.
The emperor sits on the top of the waterfront hall, there is a water shed in front of the waterfront hall, and there are four colorful boats in the water near the waterfront hall, and the above is the forbidden army to perform a hundred operas, such as dancing the flag, playing the lion and leopard, playing the big knife, gods and ghosts and miscellaneous dramas, and the like. Two other boats were bands on them.
Monarchs, ministers, and officials all watched in front of the waterfront hall, with wine and food, toasting each other and congratulating each other.
The people watched from a distance outside the golden pool, and for a time the officials and the people enjoyed together, and the scene was harmonious.
During the banquet, he said, "Mingzu Gao ascends the autumn twilight, and the road in the western suburbs is as straight as a string." The pear orchard is covered with thousands of officials drunk, and the more I feel Jun's grace. ā
Some people also remembered that they had been hesitant for many years, and sighed loudly, "Ten years of study has been a bumpy road." Think about it yourself, not unforgettable. Thousands of miles home, nowhere to talk about sorrow. Even if you don't take the exam, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost.
The night comes and goes. A small candlelight is chanting. There are no words in the memory, only a thousand lines of tears, and it is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, the bright moon night, and the short examination room. ā
Yan Hanyu came out of Zhao Xian's suburban courtyard and knew that this place was very close to Qionglin Garden.
Weeping poplars are dipped in water, tobacco is paved with embankments, and tourists are endless.
Jinmingchi and Qionglin Yuan are facing each other from north to south.
Qiongyuan Golden Pond, Qingmen Zimo, like snow poplar flowers full of roads.
In the past, there were many anglers in this open season, but today because the emperor came, a banquet was set up in Qionglin Yuan for the first jinshi, and the forbidden army wanted to perform a hundred operas in the pool, and the fishing was naturally impossible.
Of course, the common people will not be idle, in order to see the emperor's holy drive, in order to compete to see the demeanor of the young champion, and the newly admitted candidates, they are vying to look at the guard of honor.
Yan Hanyu didn't go with him to join in the fun, but found a sunny place, leaning against the trunk of a tree and looking up at the blue sky.
The blue sky is clear, and the high-pitched singing voice reaches the ears, far and near, clear and pleasant.
The sound of the drums is loud and reverberates in the sky, and the sound of the flute is ethereal, like a dream.
It is also mixed with the shouting and shouting not far away, which can be strangely mixed together to become beautiful music.
The dumb aunt was holding an oil-paper bag in her hand, which was the oil-honey steamed cake she had just bought at the roadside shed.
"Thank you, dumb aunt. She thanked her, and the smile on her face was warm, just like the warm sunshine.
The dumb girl smiled and waved her hand.
"Dumb aunt, will you eat one too?"
The dumb aunt only patted her stomach lightly and shook her hand again.
"Then I'll eat it. ā
Yan Hanyu was holding the steamed cake and heard a familiar voice before he touched his mouth.
"Who is it, I look at it from a distance, it looks a little like you, it turns out that it's really you little girl!" (To be continued.) )
