Chapter 53: The Feast Disperses
Being able to eat is also a sign of youth.
People like them are elderly, their taste buds and appetite are also old, no matter how good the food is in front of them, there is a lack of interest, and the daily gruel and pickles are enough, and the people next to them heard Chen Sheng's words and looked over, sighed a little and frowned.
"Where is this candidate," he said, isn't it a bit bad to eat and drink like this at this time?
Chen Sheng smiled again and said, "Only those who can eat are young people." It seems to be the same as the previous words, but the meaning is different.
I can't think so much about this occasion, I want to eat if I want to eat it wantonly is also a teenager and fearless, isn't this a passion that the elderly envy, the man smiled and didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and touched Chen Sheng, and said: "Chen Xiangye, it seems that there are many talented people who can shine this time." ”
The six arts of the gentleman are different from the previous imperial examinations, especially the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are often talented, and people with this talent are often a little unruly and maverick, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with this young man who eats and drinks a lot, maybe he is a genius.
Chen Sheng said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's glorious or not, it's just that it's not appropriate to accompany the prince to study." ”
The reason for this gentleman's examination was to make Prince Xiliang participate in the Great Zhou Imperial Examination, but if he really wanted Prince Xiliang to get ahead in the gentleman's examination, all the Great Zhou students were compared, and it would not look good on his face.
"I am a big Zhou and full of talents, so I don't need to worry. The man said, the two of them were talking, and there was a burst of cheers in the hall, it turned out that Song Yuan personally walked down and laughed with a few candidates, amiable and enthusiastic, and the atmosphere in the hall was mobilized again.
"Lord Song is really majestic. The man whispered, and glanced at Chen Sheng, this is a dignified master, although he was suppressed by Wang Lieyang and released his power, but he is still a minister who cares about his life to the outside world, Song Yuan really just said a few polite words and then ignored him and threw him on the side seat, as if he was the master alone.
Chen Sheng said: "Lord Song has always been majestic. "Laugh, stop talking, raise a glass and drink.
Xue Qing raised her wine glass and looked over there with a smile, her sleeves hung down just right to block half of her face, her eyes looked at who was looking at her on the stage?
She wasn't surprised that someone looked at her, so she didn't deliberately hide herself, and she couldn't hide it, but she was just curious about who was sitting on the stage at this time besides Mr. Qingxia, who else was her own person? or how many? Will they find a chance to see themselves? Or have been hiding behind her After the gentleman's test, she brushed her sleeves and left without taking away a cloud of thought, but her eyes kept looking at the hall, and when she saw that Song Yuan and the candidates had finished talking, Zhusheng put down the wine glass.
"Don't be so nervous, let's try these dishes. Song Yuan pointed to a few cases and said, "This is made by famous chefs invited from all over the country, and it is the same as the level of the banquet given by the champions after the palace examination. ”
All the beings laughed, Song Yuan's speaking posture really didn't look like a red-robed officer, of course, no one really didn't treat him as a red-robed officer, so they all sat down, laughed or exaggerated or picked up chopsticks to eat vegetables, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively and relaxed.
Xue Qing also ate it, with an elegant demeanor, while Zhang Shuangtong on the other side devoured it.
Pang An couldn't help but remind Sven: "Look at Young Master Qingzi"
It's okay not to mention this, mentioning Young Master Qingzi, Zhang Shuangtong ate more violently, with a little sadness, and said: "I'm the real Sven, the fake Sven of Sanlang." ”
Although Pang An didn't understand, he thought it was funny and laughed, about the atmosphere here was better, Song Yuan, who walked back to his seat and was about to sit down, suddenly looked over, stretched out his hand and pointed with a smile, and said, "Yes, just like that young master, he eats meat and drinks a lot." ”
The eyes in the hall suddenly condensed, Zhang Shuangtong was tearing a goose leg with both hands, and suddenly his eyes condensed to his body and couldn't help but freeze in place, Pang An shrank his head and didn't say a word, and subconsciously moved a few cases forward, wanting to stay away from Zhang Shuangtong, Liu Chunyang also made a drinking appearance and raised his hand to block his face.
The stiffness was only for a moment, and the next moment Zhang Shuangtong tore off the goose leg to his mouth and took a big bite, then picked up the wine glass and drank it up, holding the empty wine glass and saying loudly: "Eat meat and drink wine, we should be like this." His voice was clear and high-pitched, and his tone was tactful, and it was very nice to spread in the hall.
Song Yuan laughed and stroked his palms, all the beings also laughed, and many people followed Zhang Shuangtong's example to tear meat and raise their wine glasses.
"Is this what the book often calls uninhibited?"
"Chu Maniac"
"Is the sage Confucius also in awe?"
"It turns out that people who read don't have to be Sven. ”
There are also friendly candidates who are also excited to tear meat and drink, and the hall is noisy and bold for a while, everyone is happy, and they no longer pay attention to Zhang Shuangtong.
Zhang Shuangtong sat down, and Xue Qing on the side gave him a thumbs up and smiled, and said, "This is the real Sven." ”
Zhang Shuangtong glared at her, and reached out to tear the goose meat again, Xue Qing looked at it with a smile, and the corner of his eye noticed that it was Song Yuan who was sitting in front of the stage, with a kind smile on his face, his eyes slid from Zhang Shuangtong's body, and it seemed to fall on Xue Qing unintentionally, Xue Qing suddenly raised his head, and the two collided with each other Xue Qing raised the wine glass in his hand with some restraint, and the smile on Song Yuan's face was even stronger, and he raised his hand.
"Drink and drink. He nodded in satisfaction and said loudly, his eyes swept over to the beings in the hall and sat down, whispering and laughing with the officials beside him.
The students in the hall were also drinking or chatting with the candidates on the left and right, and the musicians on both sides began to play again, and the sound of silk and bamboo was mixed with laughter.
Zhang Shuangtong ate half a goose in one breath before exhaling and said, "I can finally eat well." He was about to continue feasting, but a scribe stood up and announced the end of tonight's feast.
"Today's feast for all students, tomorrow after the week, you should concentrate on preparing for the exam in order to achieve good results. ”
The examiners also stood up, either solemnly or with a smile, and said, "We are waiting for you." ”
The students in the hall hurriedly put down their wine glasses and chopsticks and stood up, Zhang Shuangtong, Xue Qing and others were naturally no exception, and they promised to the examiners on the stage, and there were scribes waiting for guidance, and the students in the hall walked out of the hall in order.
Zhang Shuangtong looked at the food in front of him, sighed, and said, "This is the end."
Xue Qing also said: "Yes, this is the end." There were no accidents, and no one had contact with her, but there were no accidents, after all, the unobtrusive ones were the safest, and she believed that the people who wanted to see her had already seen them, as for herself, she didn't want to see them, and the candidates in front of her had already walked out, Xue Qing patted Zhang Shuangtong and said with a smile: "Gone away." ”
A group of people from Chang'an Mansion walked out of the main hall with all the beings, the lights on the Yong road outside the hall were still bright, and the candidates gathered outside in an orderly manner, but they were a little less restrained and more relaxed than when they came in, and there were more jokes and jokes, and the road was a little noisy.
Zhang Shuangtong flicked his sleeves and said, "We're going back, we're going to have a big meal and a drink, and I'll treat you." He looked back at Xue Qing again, "You don't have to go three times, you're full." ”
Xue Qing laughed, and suddenly a shout came from behind him.
"Candidates from Chang'an Mansion, you have lost something. ”
Xue Qing and the others looked back, the lights were bright and dazzling behind them, and the figures were staggered.
"What did you lose?" Lin Xiucai asked while waiting for a few older people, turning around and walking against the crowd, the candidates behind him gave in, and the candidates from Chang'an Mansion who were retrograde were very conspicuous in the crowd.
But there was no sound, and there was no greeting from the officials, only the forbidden army with a solemn expression, and the candidates who had just come out of the hall and stood on the steps, these candidates were looking at them, and the plain white robes and treasure belts were dazzling under the lamp.
Xue Qing stopped, Xiliang examinee
