Chapter 81: Conversation at the Party (Asking for a Monthly Pass Collection)

After Shi Kefa and the others had eaten, they went back to rest.

At the end of the exam, it was a lot easier for many lifters, and the same was true for Shi Kefa.

If you are a Zhonggongshi, the palace examination after ten days will only test one topic, and the examination will only be one day.

The play of strategy has a certain relationship with knowledge, and more importantly, the style and insight, if you make a flowery article, the ranking must be very good.

Even if you don't have high school, it's a big deal to continue to travel, and then return to your hometown, or study in the Guozijian in Beijing and the Guozijian in Nanjing, waiting for the next exam.

Therefore, after the end of the exam, the more than ten days until the release of the list is the most frequent time for the gathering of readers.

......

Outside Chongwen Gate, a restaurant in Chongwen Fang.

More than 50 people gathered here, the banquet was ready, and the crowd took their seats in the midst of humility to each other.

Scofa, of course, was in the middle of it.

All the people who participated in today's gathering were Nanzhili's lifters, among whom the new science and technology scholars were the mainstay, and the few previous lifters were also the ones who studied in Guozijian.

Attending this gathering, Shi Kefa realized that the situation he imagined of a large gathering of people from Nanzhi did not exist.

The more than 400 people who participated in the examination were divided into several small groups, and they gathered almost according to the same year of the year.

The new imperial examination people participated in the examination for the first time, full of confidence, and there was some arrogance between the words, and the people who participated in the examination many times looked much calmer, and they knew the difficulty of the examination, and they did not dare to speak at will.

Because of the disagreement between the new imperial examination and other people, it is naturally difficult to gather together, unless it is a member of a society, there is a chance to gather together to eat and drink.

There is a big difference between meetings between people and meetings between students.

The students have not yet participated in the township examination, and have not passed the most important level, and when they gather, most of them will show their literary talents and win the envy of others.

It's not the same when you lift people, everyone is half a pound and eight taels, and the difference in style is not too big, so there is no need to go to the capital to show it.

This kind of gathering between people is more of a relationship, and like-minded people can become confidants through such gatherings, but this kind of situation is too rare, and it is more of a relationship.

Therefore, this kind of gathering, the person's life history and family are very important.

"In the same year, the examination has ended, and we must drink to our heart's content, and we will not return home if we are not drunk. ”

Someone at the middle table stood up and raised his glass.

"What Brother Zhang said is very true, today we are all invited by Brother Zhang to come, how about a glass of wine for Brother Zhang. ”

"Okay, Brother Zhang is the best among us and other new imperial examination people, and he deserves this glass of wine. ”

"I'm here, Brother Zhang is talented, and he will definitely take the high school exam this time, and then he will be a model for me and other new imperial examination people. ”

Almost everyone stood up and raised their glasses.

This person who is called Brother Zhang, his name is Zhang Pu, the word Qiandu, the word Tianru, the number Ximing, and he is a native of Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture (now Taicang, Jiangsu).

Zhang Pu (pǔ) was born in an official eunuch family, but because he was born to a concubine, he ranked eighth, so he "was not valued by the sect and the party, and his family members were especially rude when encountered, and he was criticized for making trouble."

He was called "Collapsed Pu Er" to his face, which means "born of a slut and will never come out".

Zhang Pu was insulted by this, he was diligent and studious, he must copy by hand when he reads, and burn it after copying, so repeat it seven times, his hands freeze and crack in winter, and he will continue to practice again with hot water.

Later, he named his reading room "Qilu Zhai".

"History of the Ming Dynasty" records the story of Zhang Pu's "Seven Records and Seven Burnings".

Although Zhang Pu (pǔ) was born to a concubine, he was also born in an official eunuch family, and his identity was naturally different among many people.

The scholar family and the gentry family are the same, and there is not much difference between ordinary people, but in the early Ming Dynasty, the difference between them was obvious.

The scholar family must have two ranks of jinshi, and they must be officials in the court or in the locality, and the gentry family must also have two ranks of jinshi, but not necessarily in the court.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the scholar family and the gentry family had been confused, and most of them were called the gentry family in the outside world.

said that a glass of wine was drunk, Zhang Pu held the wine glass, and walked in front of Shi Kefa in front of everyone.

"Brother Ken, you're always so mysterious. ”

Shi Kefa also picked up his wine glass and stood up.

"Why did Brother Qiandu say that, I don't know what to do. ”

"Joke, joke, I knew you in the Kaifeng Township Test last year. ”

"I have long admired the name of Brother Qiandu, today is a gathering convened by Brother Qiandu, and I salute Brother with a glass of wine. ”

Zhang Qiandu smiled on his face and also picked up his wine glass.

But said that after Zhang Qiandu drank this glass of wine, he had no intention of turning around and leaving.

"Brother Qiandu, I toast you. ”

"It turned out to be Brother Yu Hai, I haven't seen each other for a long time, I must drink this glass of wine. ”

After Shi Kefa sat down, several more people stood up and toasted Zhang Qiandu, and by this time, he could no longer drink with Shi Kefa.

After three rounds of drinking, more than a dozen girls came in and began a song and dance performance.

This kind of wine banquet with beauties has been very common in the late Ming Dynasty.

Gradually, the atmosphere of drinking began to rise, and a few people who were a little excited to drink went to pull the girls who were performing songs and dances to accompany them to drink, and these girls had smiles on their faces, and they did not mean to refuse, but were a little happy.

Zhang Qiandu came over again at this time, still holding a wine glass in his hand.

"Brother Xian, why don't you invite the girl to drink together, or I'll pick one for you. ”

Shi Kefa stood up and clenched his fists to speak.

"Thank you Brother Qiandu for your concern, it's just that I don't know how to drink, Brother Qiandu kindly invited girls, if I offend these girls and make Brother Qiandu lose face, it will be bad.

This glass of wine can be regarded as compensation for Brother Qiandu. ”

After speaking, Shi Kefa picked up his wine glass.

An indescribable look flashed on Zhang Qiandu's face.

"Brother Xian is really polite, today is my Nanzhili's party in the same year, I must eat and drink well. ”

After Zhang Qiandu turned around, Shi Kefa sat down casually.

What is the identity of these invited girls, Shi Kefa knows very well, they are all women from Qinglou, and they are called girls to the outside world.

Today's occasions are the most willing for them to come, all of them are lifted, if they can climb to one of them, it is a talented man with a beautiful woman, maybe they will be able to get out of the Qinglou and live a normal life at home from now on.

Shi Kefa will not look down on these women in the Qinglou, but at today's gathering, he always feels that something is wrong, and he doesn't know where the problem is for the time being.

Until the end of the banquet, Zhang Qiandu never came over again, of course, there were people around him.

A few people dragged the girl out, and no one around was surprised, as if it were nothing.

Shi Kefa shook his head secretly, but he didn't say anything.
