Chapter VI Entertainment
Xue Qing is very busy now, and before he became an official after the top student in high school, he was no longer busy studying, but socializing.
"What a party! Mr. Si Brown sat in his chair and said with a sneer.
In the room, Xue Qing was sitting on a chair, biting the grate in the mouth of the cicada and combing his hair, and said vaguely: "Mr. Ouyang, it's not a banquet for the imperial court." ”
Mr. Si Brown said: "What about the banquet of the imperial court?
Xue Qing tilted his head slightly, and asked Cicada Yi to comb his hair tightly, and said, "Cockroach, you can eat here today, your master will also come over at noon, I asked someone to call the banquet in the restaurant and send it." ”
A little servant probed outside and shouted, "Young Master Qingzi, the Liu family is here again.....!
Before the words fell, he was pushed away, and a steward in his forties came in with a smile on his face, saluted Xue Qingshi, and said: "Young Master Qingzi, four maidservants, the old lady means that you use it first these days, these girls are to pack up and serve the young master, your clothes, shoes and hats, and when the master of the Guo family arrives, Young Master Qingzi, they will leave when they have enough people here." ”
The little guy who was pushed aside was sent by the Zhangjia Commercial Bank to help usher in the delivery, after all, Xue Qing only has a sweeping old man here, an old man who eats for nothing and a stupid scholar, and the champion court can't support it.
But the Liu family was unwilling to send someone later, although Xue Qing refused, but he didn't give up, the man couldn't send it, so he sent a beautiful woman, it was really treacherous, the Zhang family stared angrily.
Young Master Qingzi doesn't want to agree.
Xue Qing turned his head to look, and the housekeeper of the Liu family followed closely behind four maidservants, cardamom was delicate and lovely, each holding a coat, hat, shoes and socks in his hand.
Xue Qing's gaze crossed the maidservants and fell on their hands: "Are they all new clothes?"
The housekeeper of the Liu family hurriedly smiled: "Naturally, Tianyifang has just been done." ”
Xue Qing nodded and said, "It's just right to go out today." ”
The housekeeper of the Liu family was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the maids to come forward, and he was a little surprised in his heart, Young Master Qingzi wouldn't let people stay just because of his clothes, right? Before he came, he specially went to ask Young Master Chunyang, and the old lady Liu at home had instructed them to be the stewards of the capital, but everything related to Xue Qing had to be decided by Young Master Chunyang.
When he asked to send someone to Xue Qing's side, Young Master Chunyang was silent for a moment, but fortunately he didn't refuse, but just let a few sets of the best clothes, shoes and socks be sent together.
The steward here was thinking wildly, and there were people whooshing up to the maidservants, reaching out and rummaging through the clothes in their hands.
"Is there mine? Why are they all so small?" said Mr. Si Brown, very angry, "How long have I not worn new clothes? These shoes are still in Chang'an Mansion..... relics left by my dead brother of Hong Qigong." ”
The steward glared at the old man, and he was really impressed.....
Xue Qing nodded to a servant girl and said, "You take Mr. Ouyang to choose a new set of clothes, shoes and socks." Then he looked at the people, "Now when there is a happy event in the family, they all give them a new set of clothes, shoes and socks." ”
The maidservants of the Liu family, the little servants of the Zhang family, are the best at doing things, and they immediately thanked them happily when they heard the words, and the Qi swishers outside followed the loud voices, and there was a lively and joyful atmosphere inside and outside, and there was also dissatisfaction in the joyful atmosphere.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Si Brown jumped back to Xue Qing's side, glared at him and whispered, "Reward?
Xue Qing got up, and Cicada Yi took the initiative to retreat.
"Sir, it's a gambling contract, isn't it okay to talk about feelings?" Xue Qing said in a low voice, and patted his arm again, "Don't worry, even if you eat and drink for nothing and live and wear for a lifetime here, don't be embarrassed, I won't be so stingy, it's just a mouthful of food, a body of clothing, and a bed." ”
Mr. Si Brown said with a heavy face: "Farewell." ”
Xue Qing raised his hand: "It's easy to walk all the way." ”
Mr. Si Brown stood still and said, "Do you want to take another test?"
Xue Qing said: "I won't study anymore, and I won't take the exam." Looking at the maidservants over there, "Let's change your clothes." ”
The maidservants responded to Xue Qing and squeezed Mr. Si Brown away.
"If you don't study, there are other things to do, I'm the best in the world, I can do anything. Mr. Si Brown said.
Surrounded by several pretty maidservants, Xue Qing, who took off her robe, looked back and smiled.
"I'll talk about it when I need to. ”
……
…….
Xue Qing went out to the banquet, the Liu family's steward task was completed and left, the position of the Zhang family's little servant was not affected and happily went to guard the door, Qi continued to sweep the yard, the scholar still couldn't see everything back to the past, but the house was not quiet.
"Do you think he's stupid?" Mr. Si Brown shouted angrily while lying in the rocking chair, "You still don't want to learn the good things? Who am I?"
Cicada Yi put away Xue Qing's shirt and pursed her lips and smiled: "You are Mr. Ouyang." ”
"Don't call me that nasty name. Mr. Four Brown was even more angry and said, "It's the Blackheart who gave me that name. ”
Aren't all names given by parents? Curse your parents like this? The four new maidservants in the house were amazed.
Although Cicada Yi didn't come here much, he knew that this inconspicuous-looking old man had a different relationship with Xue Qing, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, let's not talk about this, Xue Qing is going to the banquet, let's also prepare lunch, my master will also come over, what do you like to eat?"
The four maidservants are also clever, although they can't understand what they said before, but they are definitely not ordinary people who can eat white rice at Xue Zhuangyuan's house, so they all come around, beat their legs and pinch their shoulders, this said grandpa, when are we going to make new clothes, that Dao grandpa called the banquet must choose osmanthus fish, Yingsheng Yanyu powder balsam red, Mr. Si Brown smiled and bloomed, even if he was damaged by that kid for a few words, he could survive the days of eating and drinking for nothing.
Although Xue Qing was not surrounded by fat powder at this time, everyone was surrounded everywhere he passed.
Enrong banquet is a banquet held by the imperial court for the Jinke Jinshi, all the examiners of the palace examination will participate, this year's examination hall examination twists and turns, first the main examination Mr. Qingxia fell to his death before the examination, and then the candidates questioned the fraud after the examination, and then the Yuan Yili questioned the nine articles to shock the world, and then the emperor pointed to the gold list after the palace examination, and the champion Xue Qing asked the guilty Qin Tan Gong to shock the court in the name of merit, and the incident was overwhelmed with topics for half a year.
Originally, many officials didn't have to participate, but this year they all came, and the focus of attention at this banquet was of course Xue Qing.
"Think about it. An official twisted his beard and said in a low voice, "Xue Qing is more or less involved in this series of things." ”
"Legend has it that this Xue Qing was ominous as soon as he wrote poetry, and now it seems that his location is also ominous. Another official smirked.
The officials next to him shook their heads and said, "You can't say that, it's not good to be contaminated with this name in officialdom." ”
Although the scholars are silent, the court is also the place where this is the most exquisite, and there have been absurd things where officials have been reused just because their names are auspicious.
Before entering the officialdom, it was said that it was ominous, and the official road was worrying.
"Don't worry, Xue Zhuangyuan is so popular, no one is afraid that he is ominous. An official said indifferently, lifting his chin in one direction.
Everyone looked together and saw Xue Qing passing by a table, as before, everyone got up and kept laughing, and Xue Qing was greeted by the other side just after walking here, all of them were officials of the DPRK and China.
"It's just that Wang Xiangye's people are showing favor to Xue Qing, why are Qin Tangong's people also drinking and laughing with him?
"Because he is no one's man, everyone can make friends, and who cares that he is ominous? ”
Needless to say, Han Xun regarded Xue Qing as the first disciple at this time. ”
"Don't talk about Han Xun, thinking that Xue Qing took hundreds of people to challenge him to write an article on the spot in the Drunken Immortal Building, in order to prove that he had learned that the imperial court was not cheating, I was so excited that I couldn't wait to swim with him. ”
Speaking of this, the official was a little nervous and excited.
"Xue Qing is here. ”
Although they had all kinds of low smiles and disdain before, when they saw the young man coming over, several people subconsciously stood up and raised their hands.
"Ah, Xue Zhuangyuan. ”
"Adults, it's polite to be late. ”
There are exchanges, courtesy, festivals, words and joys, the banquet is very lively, and then under the leadership of Xue Qing, the jinshi worship the master of the house, until the twilight falls on the grace banquet is dispersed, the old and young Jinshi hairpins are drunk and thick eyes across the street, once again attracting the crowd to watch.
And the official banquet of the imperial court is over, and then there are more banquet gatherings, there are those who get together with the scholars, and those who are invited by officials, these banquets must invite Xue Qing, and Xue Qing is proud to participate.
But he didn't write poetry anymore.
From May to June, the gold list was ordered, and in the blink of an eye, it was July, rain after rain, the sultry heat dissipated a lot, and the cicadas became hoarse and exhausted.
Summer is about to pass, Fu Bo stood in the courtyard and thought, there was a little noise in the courtyard behind him talking and the sound of heavy objects moving, it was the Lin family's nephews who were packing their luggage.
Although the candidates made a fuss because of Mr. Qingxia's death before the exam, the crowd was furious, and the Criminal Department and Qi Xiu were strictly investigated by Dali Temple, and then Xue Qing accused Qin Tangong of persecuting Mr. Qingxia in the name of Zhuangyuan Gong when he passed on the Golden Palace, but the progress of Mr. Qingxia's case was still slow.
The sons and nephews of the Lin family can't wait in the capital all the time, so they plan to leave only two to watch, and the others will help the coffin to return to their hometown.
People die like lights go out, and Fauber stands in the courtyard, and it stands to reason that he should be very busy as a subordinate, but he doesn't do anything these days, only every day.
The noisy and lively inside the courtyard continued, and there was also a lively sound outside the courtyard gate, and there was a chaotic sound of cars and horses.
It has not been so lively in front of the Lin family for a long time, is there anyone coming? Fu Bo couldn't help but walk out of the door, but saw that it was a member of the Hanlin bachelor's family on the other side of the street, walking around, sprinkling and cleaning, and even cars and horses coming in and out, looking like they were going to entertain guests.
When a steward saw Fu Bo, he ran over to give a salute and said, "I was about to disturb the little officials Lin, my lord was entertaining guests at noon today, and there were many cars and horses coming, so I was afraid that I would have to stop in front of your door, but someone would not hinder the small officials from traveling." ”
The relationship between the two families has always been very good, Fu Bo nodded and agreed, watching the chef of the restaurant over there, and said, "Who are you invited to, Lord Lu rarely invites banquets." ”
The steward smiled: "It's no one else, it's Xue Qing." ”
Xue Qing, Fu Bo hummed, and the steward said, "When the time comes, please ask the junior officials to come and sit down." ”
Fu Bo thanked him, watched the steward walk away, stood silently in front of the door for a moment and turned to go in, but saw Zhang Liantang and a few others coming over and standing at the door without knowing when.
"Young Master Liantang, are you leaving?" Fu Bo said.
Zhang Liantang said: "Yes, it's almost cleaned up." ”
I heard that Zhang Liantang and others came to help clean up when they were going back to their hometown, but Xue Qing didn't come, but now no one blames him, just his kneeling on the Golden Palace is enough to repay the teacher's kindness.
"Young Master Qingzi will come to Lu Hanlin's house for a banquet in a while, are you also together?" asked Fu Bo.
Zhang Liantang shook his head with a smile: "No, Lord Lu invited Xue Qing alone here, and it is very speculative for him to talk about ancient music with Xue Qing, but we are going to Wang Xiangye's mansion in the evening, and he should also come." ”
It is impossible for the teenagers to be together forever, everyone has their own communication, Fu Bo nodded, and sent Zhang Liantang and a few people out.
"He can drink less, now he doesn't study, he is very arrogant, he drinks more and more, he didn't drink before, and he really learned bad as soon as he entered the career. ”
"Young Master Shuangtong, you used to drink alcohol, didn't you learn badly if you didn't enter the official career?"
The teenagers laughed and walked away, Fu Bo also laughed, the teenagers were at this time when the spring breeze was proud, especially Xue Qing, the drunken immortal building wrote an article, the Golden Palace was guilty of merit, famous in the world, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and a model for scholars.
How good, this is exactly what Mr. Qingxia is looking forward to, and now it has come true, how good, Fu Bo closed the door and cut off the excitement in front of the door.
…….
…….
When twilight fell, Kang Dai took a car out of Guozijian and saw that there was some excitement in an alley, which was Xue Qing's residence, he couldn't help but look twice, and the porter of Guozijian saw it and said with a smile: "My lord, it's Xue Qing's champion's family." ”
Kang Dai's heart jumped: "What's the matter? Why is it so lively, what are those people making noise?"
The porter obviously just came back from watching the excitement, and said happily: "It's nothing, the descendants of Lu Hanlin's family said that they discussed the rise of ancient music with Lu Hanlin at noon, and the two of them sang and danced and learned from the ancients to drink, but they both drank too much, Lu Hanlin also lay down, Young Master Xue was pulled back by the carriage, and the descendants of the Xue family complained about getting drunk Xue Qing." ”
"Lu Hanlin's alcohol is drunk?" Kang Dai frowned, Lu Hanlin's alcohol consumption is known to the whole dynasty, "How much do you have to drink, it's really unbelievable." Shaking his head and sighing.
"My lord, Xue Zhuangyuan is already a champion. The porter reminded with a smile, don't always treat people as children, not to mention that it's understandable to be happy and ridiculous now.
Ridiculous is ridiculous, it's better to eat, drink and be merry than to be scary in the court, Kang Dai shook his head and lowered the curtain, his face a little tired.
"My lord, isn't it easy to handle things?" the attendant in the car asked in a low voice, "Haven't you already accused Qin Tangong?"
Kang Dai said: "Qi Xiu insisted on the fraud case, and the Criminal Department couldn't find anything, Xue Qing was a student of Mr. Qingxia, although the accusation led his attention to Qin Tan Gongshen, there was no evidence in the end, and his identity was not reasonable." ”
The attendant nodded: "The effect is still not as good as the previously planned trial fraud case." ”
Kang Dai said: "Yes, after all, that is the business of the world's scholars, and now the fraud case has been suppressed, and only the case of Mr. Qingxia has been investigated much less powerful." ”
The attendant said: "Now it can only be like this, don't worry, adults." ”
Kang Dai smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xiangye said, take your time, there is always a way." Don't mention this topic anymore, "Tonight, I'm going to have two drinks at the banquet at Wang Xiangye's house." ”
The attendant smiled: "My lord is also qualified to drink two glasses in front of Wang Xiangye, but Young Master Qingzi can't go tonight." ”
Kang Dai said: "How can you wake up if you drink with Lu Hanlin and don't sleep for a day and a night?"
…….
……..
As night fell, Xue Qing, who was supposed to be drunk on the bed, pushed open the small window and climbed into Chunxiao's room.
Chunxiao, who was dressing up in front of the dressing table, did not have the slightest surprise, opened a box of rouge, and took out a stacked tissue paper from it.
"You want me to inquire about it. She whispered.
