On August 18, the gate of the Gongyuan was crowded with people in the early morning, all of them staring at the gate with their necks straightened, waiting for the officials to release the list. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In front of the east wall of the Gongyuan, there is a low wall surrounded by thorns, and there is a false list set up on white paper to prevent someone from venting their anger and tearing the list because of their name.

Liu Shi threw down the ingots crowded in front of the list wall, and stood silently under the ancient acacia next to the Mingyuan Building of the Gongyuan Courtyard, with neither eager expectation nor panicked worry on his face, and his expression was indifferent.

A classmate of Guozijian who came late passed by and stepped forward to greet him warmly.

"Shuyan, you're here early. Why don't you wait at the top of the list? After a while, there will be too many people, but they will not be able to squeeze through. ”

"What kind of list does Shu Yan still need to squeeze! For him, it was a matter of probing. What he is most worried about now should be whether he can get the top spot and be the Duke of Xie Yuan! ”

Guozijian's sacrificial wine Zhou Zhen Zhou is the father-in-law of Liu Shi's brother-in-law Peng Yu, and Liu Shi can be regarded as a "related household" in Guozijian. Although Zhou Yi himself is upright and honest, and because of this, he is trusted by the saint, and has been re-elected as the prince of the country for many years, and selects talents from all over the world for the education of the Son of Heaven, but there is always a master who has a lively mind, and because of this relationship, he takes special care of Liu Shi openly and secretly.

Of course, the most important thing is that Liu Zhi has real skills!

In every coursework assessment, although Liu Shi can't always take the lead, he is always on top. He is humble and down-to-earth, hard-working, easy-going, and never relies on the relationship with Zhou Zhen and the name of the sincere Bofu as a blessing, so whether it is a teacher or an ordinary classmate, most of them like to make friends with Liu Zhi.

With Liu Shi's talent, it is not difficult to lift people in the exam, so there are companions who laugh and laugh.

The companions laughed.

Liu Shi also smiled, patted the shoulder of his classmates next to him, and pretended to be serious: "Then borrow everyone's auspicious words!" If I fail this time, you will be responsible! That's it, don't say anything else, the signature dishes of Zuixian Lou have to be served again, and the pear blossoms are brewed to the fullest! ”

The companion who was patted on the shoulder screamed, pointed at Liu Shi and said to his classmates: "Look at how good Shuyan's account is!" He failed the test, why should we be responsible! ”

Someone accosted: "That's it!" Then if it is a high school Xie Yuan, Shuyan, you have to set up a flowing water banquet for three days, and please eat enough for our master and classmates in Guozijian! ”

Liu Zhi responded haughtily, "What's this!" I promised! ”

Everyone made a fuss and walked towards the tribute list with a smile.

The morning sun jumped out of the sea, and the red glow was so red that it smeared half of the sky.

As soon as the gong sounded, the gate of the Gongyuan opened, and a team of soap-clothed officials held the list with solemn and respectful expressions, and followed the road where the crowd automatically dispersed, until the names of the people in the middle were displayed at the low wall.

The big red list was opened and hung up, and the crowd boiled all of a sudden.

"Xie Yuangong is really Zhang Shichao, the son of the famous Zhang Mei! Thirteen-year-old Xie Yuangong! This is the first of its kind in the country! ”

"Dad, I'm in! I'm in it! ”

"Mother, I've let you down......"

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Keep up the good work next time! As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle! ”

……

The crowd exploded, with their own joys and sorrows, and all kinds of beings.

Liu Zhi silently counted the names on the list from the beginning, not in a hurry or impatient.

The ingots on the side stomped anxiously, muttering "Why haven't you seen it yet, why haven't you seen it yet"!

Three hundred and sixty-six, Feng Yuanchun.

No!

From the top of the list to the end of the list, there are a total of 360 people who have passed the exam, and there is no name of Liu Shi!

Liu Shi, who has always been calm and calm, also changed his face at this time.

He is confident in his talents, and his answers are also stable, and there are even a lot of commendable points, why did he fall off the list? !

Yuanbao's face turned white, and he was stunned on the side, muttering vigorously: "Impossible!" How could it be! What about the name of the third master? I must have missed it......"

Liu Shi couldn't stand it, shook his head, and sighed: "Yuanbao, you didn't miss it, I'm off the list." ”

Although it was unbelievable, Liu Zhi had to accept the fact that he was not on the list.

Yuanbao's eyes turned red when he brushed the ground, and he choked up: "How come?!" Even Lord Zhou said that with the third master, your talent will definitely be on the list! ”

Liu Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The classmates who came with Liu Shi were on the list, and some were famous in Sun Shan, with mixed blessings.

However, whether they were admitted or not, while they were happy or sad for themselves, they were all very surprised by Liu Shi's failure.

At the head of the court trial, he was recognized and appreciated by Lord Zhou Xuan, the priest of the country, how could he be named Sun Shan?

"You're losing a lot of money now!" Seeing the sympathetic and comforting gaze cast by his companion, Liu Zhi took a deep breath, temporarily suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and said with a smile, his expression was a little complacent, as if he had taken advantage of it.

was beaten by Liu Zhi like this, but his companions were embarrassed to comfort him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. If Liu Zhi looked depressed and decadent, they would be embarrassed and worried.

The companion who had coaxed Liu Shi to set up a flowing water table earlier immediately smiled arrogantly: "It's just the signature dish of the Drunken Immortal Mansion and the pear blossom brew, let's go!" I'm doing the East! Everyone is open to eat and drink, and there is no need to save money for me! ”

Zuixianlou is the largest restaurant in Beijing, and its signature dishes cover almost all the delicacies that fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. If you do it all over again, an ordinary big table may not be able to fit it.

Pear blossom brew is even more rare.

Pear Blossom Brew is also known as Pear Blossom Spring, it is rumored that Tang Dazhong five years, when Li Keyong, the king of Jinwang Mansion in Jincheng County, Yingzhou, was born, the golden phoenix flew out of the temple well of the left Tianwang Shrine in his house, everyone was surprised, and it was known as "Golden Phoenix Well". The water of this well is sweet and cold, and the wine is mellow and sweet, and the aroma is overflowing. In the second year of Liao Qingning, Yingzhou Shakya Wooden Pagoda was completed, the Empress Dowager Xiao was fortunate to open the grand ceremony, the state official offered it with wine, the Queen Mother drank, felt the fragrance of Qin Wu, fluttering like a fairy. When the spring is bright, the pear blossoms of the Wooden Pagoda Buddha Palace Temple are in full bloom, the snow is white and splendid, full of vitality, the Empress Dowager Xiao sees the scenery and gives the name "Pear Blossom Spring". This wine has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been prosperous for a long time, and it is famous for three times. The world is known as "sweet golden phoenix water, Lu vulgar pear blossom spring; Famous for three thousand miles, the taste accounts for the first spring of the three Jins".

Of course, the pear blossom brew of Zuixianlou has another flavor than this.

It is necessary to pick the pear blossoms that bloom in eighth, and each pear blossom must be white and elegant, with complete petals and no flaws. Then the pear blossom and the precious medicinal materials that match the temperament are brewed together, brewed with the well water of Jinfengjing, seal the mouth of the altar, and wait for time.

When the wine is fragrant, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and let the girl of Erba Shaohua burn incense and clean her hands, pray to heaven and earth, and reopen the seal.

On the day of unsealing, ten miles of deep alleys will be filled with a clear and sweet aroma of wine, refreshing people's hearts, making people like standing in the pear blossoms of Shengchun like snow, fluttering like fairy.

What's even more rare is that the pear blossom brew is only a hundred jars every year, except for the share of tribute into the palace, there are very few folk circulation. Zuixianlou also relies on the tough backstage and profound heritage, and has only accumulated a batch of pear blossom aging over the years. If you want to indulge in a drink, you are only afraid of getting a thousand gold.
