The next day was the famous Luming Banquet, which was held in Guozijian, which was also a rule that has been unshakable since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, he was also invited to participate in the Luming Banquet with the new imperial examiner.

Besides, I didn't dare to avoid it this time, and I passed it honestly. If he dodges any more traces, it will be too heavy, and he will be scolded even more fiercely when he turns back.

In the morning, a total of 135 new imperial examinees led by Wen Bin visited Chen Yixue and all the house masters, and then went to the temple to worship the holy master under the leadership of the teachers.

Meng Fanjun, Lian Daning and dozens of other officials also accompanied them to worship. After worshipping the temple, they returned to the Guozijian and took their seats in a spacious hall where the Guozijian held a banquet for the deer, and the servants quietly served tea to everyone before withdrawing.

On this day, the new imperial examination is located in the center, they are the center, and even Chen Yixue and these people are just hosts and accompaniers, not to mention Meng Fanjun.

Moreover, with more than a dozen students selected by Guozijian to accompany the last seat, it is considered a pre-banquet, which is a kind of honor, implying that they will be able to win the next session, so Meng Fanjun insisted on finding the situation and letting him get a happy head.

"The old master has a lot of hope for you, don't let him down." Lian Daning admonished in his ear.

"Yes, the disciple knows." Besides, his legs were a little weak, and he didn't dare to look at Meng Fanjun's eyes, as if he owed the old master eight million hanging money.

Meng Fanjun just deliberately scared him, in fact, he didn't have any dissatisfaction in his heart, although the number of places in the Guozijian was reduced this time, but he gained a Xie Yuan, this is a great joy, don't talk about him, even the people of the entire Guozijian are happy, and when they talk about it, they are naturally inseparable from a topic, the Xie Yuan of this section is the champion of the lower department, is the Guozijian really going to be the champion?

Don't talk about Nanjing Guozijian, even Beijing Guozijian has not had a champion for decades.

Guozijian belongs to the national education system, which is the highest institution of learning in the country and the national education administrative body.

The Chinese culture system has a long history, from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also set up Taixue, and later the two Jin Dynasty also had Guozijian, but did not develop, to the Yuan Dynasty, the establishment of a preliminary perfect system, the county and even the central government have schools, which is already the prototype of the complete education system in later generations.

In the Ming Dynasty, this system has been very perfect, the county school, the government school, the three-level system of Taixue from top to bottom, if the county school is compared to the primary school, the government school is compared to the middle school, Taixue is the university, and it is the highest institution of learning integrating bachelor's, master's and doctor's.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the first batch of students who graduated from Guozijian went to various places, directly went to the provinces to serve as political envoys, according to the inspection envoys, as the official of the feudal territory, and then transferred to the central government as six squires There are also several, it can be seen that the imperial court attaches great importance to the Guozijian, and later the imperial examination system is flourishing, and the importance of this national education system is becoming weaker and weaker.

Of course, if you can start from the county school, experience the system of government school and Taixue, it will be relatively smooth to learn, after all, it is difficult to find teachers by yourself, and there are many difficult problems that no one can find to answer questions.

It's just that this education system can absorb a limited number of students after all, many people can't enter at all, and can only study at home, people in remote areas can only complete basic education through private schools, and later middle and senior students rely on self-study, visiting friends, apprenticeships and other ways to solve.

For example, he didn't go through this system, he was educated by his father at home to complete the basic learning, and then all self-taught, although he worshipped Chen Musa and Lian Daning as teachers, he didn't learn anything specifically, it's not that people don't teach, but he has nothing to ask, after all, there are so many things in the Four Books and Five Classics, and there are annotations of the ancients, especially the standard annotations of Zhu Xi formulated by the state, and they can fully understand it when they read it.

Of course, if you don't have to ask a teacher, you need to have a talent for learning, and if you don't have a bright head, it is better to receive a systematic education in a school with sound teachers.

The Luming banquet still follows the ancient etiquette, everyone sits on the ground, and the sitting down is a special pu mat, in front of which is a low table, one per person, and suddenly seems to have returned to the era of the two Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty.

The wine is good wine, the dish is average, it is a tray with a large piece of meat up, some of them are still pigs, cattle and mutton that were withdrawn after the sacrifice of Confucius, and there is a knife on the table for each person to cut the meat and eat.

The drinking cup is also a special jue, not the popular porcelain cup and porcelain bowl, this kind of jue is an imitation of a bronze jue, as for whether the two Han people really use this kind of bulky and ugly jue to drink, it is not clear.

Before drinking, as usual, Meng Fanjun first gave a speech, thanking Chen Yixue and other officials, and then encouraged Zhu Xinke to make persistent efforts.

Then Chen Yixue gave a speech and said something, and he deliberately plugged his ears and didn't listen carefully, anyway, it was the one that could be imagined.

After Chen Yixue finished speaking, Meng Fanjun stood up and said two more words, but announced that from now on, Xinke Xie Yuan Zhou Wenbin and Caizi will enter the Guozijian to study, and two of the four great talents in Jiangnan will enter the Guozijian, which is a great blessing for the Guozijian since he took office.

Besides, they all wanted to dig their heads into the cracks in the ground, because everyone didn't look at Wen Bin anymore, their eyes all looked at him, and they were even more curious about him than Zhou Wenbin.

"Hello senior brother." The dozen or so students of the pre-feast all leaned forward and greeted him.

Besides, he had to thank Meng Fanjun at the banquet first, and then return the salute to these students.

"Talented, I finally saw you today." A new imperial examiner suddenly screamed, looking extremely excited, as if he had forgotten that he was in the most * deer feast.

"Polite, polite. After learning at the end of the day, it is not worth the brother to do so. "And I was terrified.

"You're welcome, the next old man will strive to be the president, I hope to take you as Xie Yuan with his own hands." Chen Yixue said with a smile.

Besides, I really wanted to escape, but unfortunately I couldn't.

"Senior brother will definitely get the solution next time." A few students laughed.

The topic shifted to the fact that the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the scene was destroyed, and Wen Bin was supposed to give a speech on behalf of the new imperial examination people in the next step, but this link was completely forgotten.

"That's it, if the talented man ends, Xie Yuan will be yours, right?" A Changshu native laughed.

"If I die, I won't be able to enter here, I can only watch from the outside." Besides, he smiled bitterly.

What he meant was that if he was a reference, he would only be on the list, and of course he would not be eligible to participate in the Luming Banquet.

Everyone smiled, all as his humble words, in fact, it is the same, and even if you don't guess the topic, if you participate in the township test, you are still sure of the middle lift, but it is just a high or low ranking, it is difficult to say whether Xie Yuan can get it, this time there are more than a dozen people who are very good at doing test-taking articles, quick thinking, and the next pen is even more like divine help, but unfortunately the topic is too biased, so that their level is abnormal, and the result is worse than Wenbin is not a chip, but a first-class.

If Wen Bin's article this time is selected as the first class, the best of the others can only barely be rated as the second class, and the others can only be the third class. In the previous township examinations, there is no such big gap in the level of any session, in the previous sessions, the competition is very fierce, in the top three, some housing officials in order to fight for the ranking of the articles they selected, they have to quarrel so that their faces are red and their necks are thick, and there are situations where they are out of control for a while, but this time Wenbin won Xie Yuan but it was expected.

The Luming banquet changed its taste, everyone was vying for the registration number, and they could only respond one by one, Chen Yixue and the others also looked at him with a smile, making him feel as if he was a new science and technology solution.

This situation is also the first time that this situation has appeared, and the center of the previous Luming banquets is Xinke Xie Yuan, this time it is very funny, the scene is a bit chaotic, and Wen Bin was left aside.

Wen Bin was very happy, everywhere he went in the past two days, he was the object of everyone's attention, which made him nervous and about to collapse. Participating in the Luming Banquet this time is a rare honor, but his nerves are about to break, and now he has inadvertently helped him out.

"Besides, you are also expected by everyone now, if you don't get a solution next time, I'm sorry for the expectations of so many people here." Meng Fanjun said with a smile.

"The kid must work hard and do his best." Besides, he leaned down in fear and replied, not daring to raise his head.

He was already sweating profusely by this time, and it was like roasting him on the stove.

After the atmosphere was lively, everyone's appetite for eating and drinking increased greatly.

Although the imitation bronze jue is cumbersome and ugly, the wine inside is a fine wine, and the square meat in the lacquer plate looks very attractive, exuding aroma, and the condiments prepared are the secret of the country's eunuchs, specially used to match this kind of barbecue.

So everyone began to feast and drink openly, and even Chen Yixue put down his body and praised endlessly, saying that it was much better than the barbecue in Beijing Guozijian.

Meng Fanjun said proudly: "Of course, this is handed down from the Hongwu period, the barbecue is made with the pot of old soup in the Hongwu period, and then it is roasted over a simmer. ”

Everyone laughed, they didn't expect that there would be such gossip secrets in the two capitals.

Besides, I also ate and drank a lot, anyway, it has been roasted, and it is more cooked than this barbecue, so I simply eat a good meal to make up for it. The few people at the table next to him were a little restrained before, but when they saw that the "senior brother" was so free and easy, they followed suit and drank and chewed bitterly.

After drinking and eating meat, the dwarf podium mat was removed and replaced with a table and chair for the eight immortals, and the deer feast was carried out for most of the time, and the officials called their disciples to their tables, and then chatted and talked together to enhance feelings and understanding.

At this time, the etiquette of the teacher and disciple was much lighter, but they talked intimately like a father and son in the family.
