Although the banquet of the Cold Food Festival was held in the palace, and the emperor gave the banquet, it was not the palace banquet of the New Year's Festival, so there was no need for too much red tape. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After everyone left Kemariba, they went to the Bohol Hall, and this year's Winter Food Festival seemed to be different from previous years.

According to the custom of previous years, as long as the time comes, everyone can enter the Baohe Hall at will, enter the banquet according to the official rank, and wait until the emperor and the queen mother come, they can open the banquet.

However, this year, you need to enter the temple in turn.

There are two rows of palace maids standing under the steps outside the hall, one inner attendant on the left and right, and two rows of palace maids standing three zhang away from the entrance hall, and one inner attendant on the left and right at the front. Several of the chamberlains were holding a large booklet in their hands.

When someone is about to enter the temple, the first attendant immediately turns out the booklet and reports the person's age and five elements. The two attendants outside the main hall followed closely to announce where they were sitting in the hall.

And this time, most of the seats between the same minister and his daughters, as well as the ladies in his house, were not together.

If there are too many people entering at one time, the chamberlain not only has to keep reporting to the seat, but also has to keep in mind who the next person is, and then quickly find and report the person's seat.

When Yu Nianniang arrived outside the Baohe Palace, the ministers and female dependents were beginning to enter the palace. The voice of the chamberlain was sharp and loud, resounding inside and outside the Baohe Palace.

"Zhen Duchy, Five Elements Earth ......"

"Zhenguo Gong right seat ......"

……

"Wait for Ning'an, the five elements of water ......"

"Ning'an waits for the right side of the ......"

……

"Hubu Shangshu, Five Elements ......"

"The right side of the Tobe Shangshu degree ......"

……

"General Protector of the Country, ...... of the Five Elements of Water"

"The left side of the General Protector ......"

……

"Squire of the Criminal Department, Five Elements Sheep ......"

"The left side of the squire of the criminal department is ......"

……

Although the people standing outside were puzzled, they had probably guessed that this must be related to the Heavenly Dao Academy. As long as it is related to the Heavenly Dao Academy, the emperor has always been nine times out of ten.

The ministers of Wang Gong didn't ask much, and found their seats according to the position reported by the inner servant, originally Yu Nianniang's arrangement this time was first to arrange the seats according to the five elements of mutual growth and restraint, followed by the rank of official.

Many of them were dissatisfied when they found their seats in the main hall.

Yu Nianniang belongs to the ladies of the General's Mansion, and in the same five elements, she has to arrange seats according to the rank of the General's Mansion, and after finding her seat, Yu Nianniang sat down, and the emperor and the queen have not yet arrived. Left and right are all about the question of the number of seats at the banquet.

When the people in the hall were almost here, there was an attendant outside who shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived!" ”

Everyone got up one after another, knelt down and kowtowed, and the hall was as quiet as a needle for a while, and Yu Nianniang quickly glanced in front of her.

The emperor was dressed in a bright yellow costume and strode towards the main hall, the queen mother followed closely in a colorful flying flower and a golden Zhai dress, and Concubine Tong was half a step behind the queen in a gold silk brocade dress.

After a while, I heard the easy-going voice of the emperor: "All the ministers are flat." ”

"Your Majesty."

Yu Nianniang followed everyone to get up.

"Today is just a palace banquet for the Cold Food Festival, so you don't have to be formal." The emperor said gently, and after seeing the merits of the ministers below, his brows furrowed slightly: "Today's seat arrangement is a little different!" ”

The chamberlain standing on the side immediately said: "Back to the emperor, this is the third year of the Kunyuan entrance examination." ”

"Oh." The emperor's face was stunned, and then he remembered that he had indeed promised the excerpt handed over by the Heavenly Dao Academy, saying that this year the prefectures would no longer be required to participate in the entrance examination of the Kun Academy, but the banquet related matters of the Cold Food Festival would be arranged by the Kun Academy.

"There's such a thing." The emperor said, but when he looked at his ministers, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his position, and the emperor took a closer look and found that the banquet seats were not arranged according to the grade at all, and it was messy, and there was no up and down!

He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "However, this seat arrangement is indeed a little unsuitable. ”

The chamberlain on the side lowered his head and bowed to listen to the emperor's arrangement.

"Is the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Dao Academy there?" The emperor said lightly.

The Great Heavenly Master usually doesn't like to participate in this kind of activity, and the emperor treats the Heavenly Dao Academy a lot, and they can or may not participate in banquets like this. But today, regarding the Kun Academy's entrance examination, Huang Tianshi and Feng Tianshi have been standing in the dark in the main hall. Both of them are Heavenly Dao Academy Heavenly Masters, but Huang Tianshi is a disciple of the Great Heavenly Master, and he is in charge of many things in the Heavenly Dao Academy on weekdays, so his status is higher than Feng Tianshi.

Hearing the emperor's inquiry, Huang Tianshi stood up.

"The minister is here."

"Huang Tianshi is here! In this way, please tell Huang Tianshi about the special significance of this seat arrangement? The Emperor said.

"Back to the emperor." Huang Tianshi bowed his hand to the emperor and replied respectfully: "This is a test question for the Kun Academy's entrance examination this time. This is what we have arranged according to the answer sheet of one of the candidates. ”

"Oh?" The emperor became interested: "Was the first test question to be answered by the Heavenly Master selected?" I wonder what the meaning of this arrangement is? ”

"All the candidates answered well, but Kunyuan just chose the most detailed and appropriate one." Huang Tianshi said, then glanced in the direction where Yu Nianniang was sitting, and said, "Your Majesty, if you are interested, you can let the candidate come up and solve your Majesty's doubts." ”

Feng Tianshi, who was standing in the shadows, frowned slightly.

"Is the examinee also in the temple? So, good. The Emperor said happily.

Huang Tianshi immediately took out a piece of paper from the wide sleeved robe, with dense writing on it, it was an exam paper, he found the name of the person answering the question at the bottom, and said loudly: "The tenth candidate in the three-year entrance examination of Kun Academy, a person from Yizhou, is fifteen years old, surnamed Yu Mingnianniang, and stepped forward to solve the doubts of the saint." ”

His Highness suddenly buzzed.

Wei Hongshan and Mrs. Wei looked at Yu Nianniang who came forward from the back with her head bowed and lowered her eyebrows in disbelief, they only knew that Yu Nianniang had real skills, but they didn't expect that their skills should not be underestimated.

The candidates who can enter the Kun Academy are all really capable, but I didn't expect that among the dozen or so candidates, Yu Nianniang, a girl, stood out.

The emperor was obviously also surprised, but he didn't expect it to be Yu Nianniang, but he already knew a little about Yu Nianniang's ability.

In this way, the emperor was not as anxious as before, and motioned for Yu Nianniang to get up after the salute, and looked at her: "You arranged the seat for this banquet?" ”

"Yes." Yu Nianniang looked at the emperor and said seriously.

"Although it is the Kunyuan entrance examination, the arrangement of this seat is really a bit confusing." The emperor said solemnly: "You must know that the ministers of the court and the central government have different official ranks, and the order of entering the palace banquet is naturally different. ”

"Back to the emperor." Yu Nianniang also said seriously: "Since this is the entrance exam question of Kun Academy, the folk girl will arrange it according to the exam question, which is the first." Second, all things in heaven and earth, the five elements are mutually reinforcing, following the five elements, but also according to the official rank. “

"Oh?" The emperor glanced at the seats of the ministers in the palace, but he really didn't find any of them arranged according to the rank: "You continue." ”

"The emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, of course everyone else has to be headed by the emperor......" Yu Nianniang looked at the three emperors above, her voice was clear and soft, and there was a clean and comfortable feeling in the hall.

“…… The queen mother sits on the left side of the emperor, and the five elements belong to gold; The concubine sat on the right side of the emperor, and the five elements belonged to the wood...... The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, the nobility is compelling, and he has the blessing of God. Wouldn't it be a blessing for us if we could follow the principle of the five elements of water, wood, fire, earth, and gold, so that everyone could be protected by the emperor......

“…… Aquatic produces wood, wood produces fire, fire produces earth, earth produces gold, and gold produces water, which is the principle of symbiosis; Water overcomes fire, wood overcomes earth, fire overcomes gold, soil overcomes water, and gold overcomes wood, which is the principle of mutual restraint...... The eldest prince is a wood-born person, sitting under the queen's mother, there is no life, the second prince is a fire-born person, and the second prince can only sit under the head of the concubine, and the wood-born person can sit on the fire, and the fire-born person can sit on the native, the native-born can sit on the golden-born person, the gold-born underwater can sit on the water-born person, and the water-born person can sit on the wood-born person......"

"And so on, the second prince is born and the next is a native ......"

"This is according to the principle of the five elements, and among the peers, it is necessary to come according to the rank of the official...... For example, Yu Taifu is from the rank of a first-class official, and he happens to be a fireborn person, so he sits under the head of the eldest prince; And General Wei, the general of Zhuangwu, is a fourth-rank official, but he is a fire-born person, so he has to sit in front of the second-rank official rank, the native of the household, Lord Shangshu, and the Hanlin Yuan Shu Ji Shihan is from the fifth rank of the official position, and he must be a native of the same rank, according to the level of the official rank, he is only ranked behind the Lord Shangshu......"

It seems to be so reasonable!

The Emperor couldn't help but nod.

"The fire born people sit in front of the natives, and according to the principle of mutuality, they can help the natives to prosper in everything and everything will be prosperous...... Of course, some people will say that although the people on the left and right are arranged according to the principle of mutual restraint, there are so many people in the entire hall, it is difficult to ensure that the people who are in harmony with themselves will not affect themselves. Therefore, according to the attributes of each of the five elements, a set of utensils with the same attributes as oneself was prepared...... For example, the table used by the wooden people is made of solid wood; On the table of the natives, a cup of fresh mud embryo clay potted plants was placed; In front of the aquatic man there is a flower pulp, which is filled with water; Jin Shengren also put a pot of fresh mud embryo soil potted plants......"

"At the entrance of the main hall, as well as on the pillars in the hall, there are all kinds of sachets of related colors or related pattern attributes, and if you are interested, you can also choose one of your favorite to wear on your body, all according to the method of improving your personal fortune in the five lives......"

From the seating arrangement, to the table used for the banquet, to the wine glasses used for drinking, and the furnishings in front of you, it can be said that it is really careful and thoughtful, and with good intentions!

The emperor finally showed a look of satisfaction on his face: "You think very thoughtfully. ”

"The emperor has won the award." Yu Nianniang did not show a look of arrogance or conceit, and still said seriously: "In fact, these arrangements cannot really affect a person's luck, if you want to be effective, you have to calculate in more detail and arrange it more accurately." ”

This is indeed a big truth.

The emperor smiled slightly: "That's a good thing. "I am very lenient in my heart, if there are one or two such outstanding earth masters entering the Heavenly Dao Academy every year, then the Heavenly Dao Academy will become stronger and stronger.

He said to Yu Nianniang kindly: "You sit down." ”

Yu Nianniang bowed and retreated to her position in the complicated eyes of everyone.

A conversation in the main hall has set off waves of varying degrees in the hearts of many people.

The limelight has been out, and there is nothing left for her.

Yu Nianniang has been sitting quietly in her seat eating snacks since then, watching the singing and dancing performances in the main hall, until the end of the banquet, and she has not said a word to anyone.

Out of the palace and back to the General's Mansion, Yu Nianniang followed Mrs. Wei back to the West Cross Courtyard, and the old lady asked her to go back to rest very kindly: "...... You've been tired these days, so you don't have to come to my yard early every day to say goodbye. ”

Yu Nianniang was naturally happy, accepted it unceremoniously, and saluted directly: "Thank you, old lady." ”

After the Cold Food Festival, Yu Nianniang's name has been known to many people. Because of her words at the palace banquet, some people have been pondering whether they should also find a way to change feng shui in their own home......

Two days later, Yu Nianniang officially entered the Kun Academy to attend classes.

Kunyuan is not like a seowon, or a private school that requires students to sit in the classroom early. The class time of Kunyuan is from morning to noon, which is the modern school from 7 am to 11 noon. There are no classes in the afternoon, so according to your own situation, you can go home or read books by yourself in Kunyuan.

Despite this, Yu Nianniang still felt that the morning class time was too early, and on the first day she went to Kunyuan to attend classes, she was a whole hour late, Huang Tianshi looked at her with a straight face, and reprimanded: "Even if you are already enrolled, then you have to study hard." ”

"Yes." Yu Nianniang was respectfully taught.

On the second day, Huang Tianshi still arrived at Kun Academy, Huang Tianshi's face was very ugly, and he trained her in front of other people in the classroom: "As long as you pass the entrance examination of Kun Academy and enter Kun Academy, then you are already an earth master, study hard here, and only have a chance when Tiandao Academy selects talents." It's as lazy as you are, and you look great, but you know a little bit about it......"

Yu Nianniang lowered her eyes to listen to the training, did not refute a word, and when she arrived on the third day, she still arrived at the school on time.

However, this day's lesson is Feng Tianshi, although he has heard of it, but he is still a little surprised to see Yu Nianniang's attitude of doing his own thing, and he gets the emperor's other eyes, and he thinks that there will be another worth and there are many people in his eyes, but Feng Tianshi found in contact with Yu Nianniang that Yu Nianniang is actually a very good talker, and he is also smart.

Feng Tianshi is not like Huang Tianshi, he feels that no matter as an earth master or a heavenly master, casualness is also a kind of growth exercise.

Therefore, Feng Tianshi did not reprimand Yu Nianniang, and after inviting her to sit in her seat, he took out a notebook and began to lecture for everyone. His first day of class did not teach occult arts, but talked about some of his experiences in becoming a heavenly master.

This kind of class is not rigid.

After listening to the whole class, Yu Nianniang actually didn't help her much.

After leaving Kun Courtyard, she went to the Hexagram Pavilion, because she was still thinking about Duan Licheng, and when she came out of Kun Courtyard these days, she went to the Hexagram Pavilion first, but unfortunately Duan Licheng did not go to look for her after the Cold Food Festival as he said before.

It has been a few days since the opening of the hexagram photo museum, and there are no customers coming, Yu Nianniang has not found a suitable partner for the time being, so she will let Sun Ma and Linglong open the door every day when they have time, and go back when they have something to do in the hexagram photo museum.

When Yu Nianniang returned to the Hexagram Gallery, Mother Sun and Linglong were standing at the counter, and when they saw Yu Nianniang coming back, Linglong hurriedly greeted her: "Girl." ”

Yu Nianniang nodded: "Is there any business coming to the door today?" ”

"No business comes to the door today." Linglong said: "However, someone is looking for you."

Yu Nianniang's eyes lit up.

Linglong had already handed over an old box and said in a low voice, "Lord Duan asked the girl to give it to her." ”
