Chapter 217: The Deer Feast

On the second day of the list, the "Deer Ming Banquet" was held in the yamen of each prefecture, which was attended by the chief examiner, the supervisor, the internal and external curtain officials of the academic administration and the new imperial examination.

The people of the new imperial examination met with the chief examiner, the supervisor, the academic administration, and the housing official, and then sat down in turn to hold a banquet, play the chapter of "Deer Song" in the "Book of Songs", and make the Kui Xing Dance.

The first name of the new imperial examination is Xie Yuan, the second name is Yayuan, the third, fourth, and fifth names are Jingkui, the sixth name is Yakui, and the rest are called Wenkui, all of which are awarded by the imperial court to 20 taels of silver and wear clothes and hats. The plaque is hung above the gate of the house, and the torii can be erected in front of the door.

In the second year, the new imperial examination candidates can go to Beijing to participate in the Ministry of Rites examination; If you fail to pass one or three subjects, you can also be "selected" or "picked" by the ministry to become a low-level official.

Because this is Enke, who has taken an additional test, this year's lifter is really lucky, even if he can't try next year, there will be another chance the year after next. The interval between these two times is less than a year, and the next one will be three years later.

Although Liu Yunyang has practiced less martial arts than poetry and books, he is now quite hot in one-handed swordsmanship. In addition, he has learned light skills, dances with flexible steps, and has a little more sassy and heroic posture. Seeing that, all the officials couldn't help but applaud. They all praised, this little boy is not a mortal.

Liu Yunxiang hid in a leafy tree, looking at his brother, who was less than two years older than him, and was praised by others, and he was very proud in his heart. But who can tell her that the guy for Mao Gumo is also sitting on the top? Didn't the Qilin Wei and the courtiers go their separate ways? Why did you come to the Deer Banquet?

Gu Mo didn't find Yun Xiang originally. But the falcon, which had been hovering near him, suddenly flew away, causing him to have an idea. He stared in the direction the falcon was flying. Only then did I find some clues. This girl actually came here to watch the fun!

Gu Mo, who had a straight face all day long, hooked the corners of his mouth, which surprised the people next to him. Could it be that Lord Gu was also impressed by Xie Yuangong's demeanor?

Yun Xiang pursed her mouth. Knowing that it would not be good to watch the excitement here again, she stuck out her tongue at Gu Mo, turned around, and left carefully.

Gu Mo's eyesight is good, but he can only vaguely see Yun Xiang's figure, and he doesn't see Yun Xiang's childish appearance. I just saw her leave, and I was a little stunned.

"Your Excellency. The students toasted you. Si Yi reminded.

Gu Mo raised his eyes and happened to see Liu Yunyang with a smile on his face. He drained the wine very face-savingly. Then the other lifters saw that Master Gu was easy to speak, and they also surrounded him.

"Tsk. This Gu Master only gave Xie Yuan merit face. Many people went to toast but he refused. Li Quan returned to his seat and talked with Liu Yunyang.

Liu Yunyang knew that he was laughing at himself, and he was not annoyed, "Then I have to thank this name." ”

This waits for the list for a month. The relationship between Li Quan and Liu Yunyang is even closer. They have a similar temper. Now there is a tea business involved, so it is two points closer than others.

"Yunyang...... Well, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. Meng Qingfa also passed the township test this time, but his results were not very good, and he was just worthy of it.

"Brother Meng." Liu Yunyang smiled and nodded, but it was a little more alienated.

Meng Qing smiled and said, "What are you doing outside like this?" Speaking of which, I am also your cousin-in-law......" He saw Liu Yunyang's face sink and hurriedly said, "It's all family." Your cousin has nothing to do at home all day, so it is better to go to your house. ”

"My mother and sister were busy housekeeping. My sister is busy with the family's business and really doesn't have time to spend with her. Liu Yunyang politely refused.

"When are you going to go to Beijing? Together, we also take care of each other. Meng Qingfa calmed down during this time, and thought about it a lot, but he felt that he couldn't break off his relationship with Liu Yunyang like this.

This bumper harvest of the first rice crop, the grain of the entire Dongxuan Province has doubled compared to last year, and the second rice crop has started at the same time in the four surrounding provinces. The Liu family can't say when it will soar into the sky.

Liu Yunyang said casually, "I don't plan to participate in next year's big competition. ”

"What!" "Why?"

Meng Qingfa and Li Quan couldn't help but let out a low breath. They all thought that Liu Yunyang would rush forward in one go, but they didn't expect him to stop halfway.

"I'm only 14 years old, and although I read pretty well, I don't have much knowledge and experience. So I'm going to go out for a year and then come back to the big competition. "It's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles, he has grown so big, he hasn't gone out to see the mountains and rivers of Daxia, his mind is not big enough, and his knowledge is not broad enough. If you become an official just because you read a few books, you can't say that you can't do it, you can only say that you can't do it well.

Li Quan sincerely admired, "Brother Xian, this is to accumulate thick and have great ambitions. Come, a toast to your brother! ”

Liu Yunyang also picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "Thank you, Brother Li." ”

Meng Qingfa followed with a drink and asked, "When are you going to leave?" ”

"I'll leave in October and come back this time next year. Fortunately, there is plenty of time to settle down and prepare for the spring festival. Liu Yunyang's plan has already been told to Yun Xiang, and Yun Xiang agrees very much. In ancient times, fourteen years old could not be considered a child, and many men were married at the age of sixteen. So Yunxiang hopes that Liu Yunyang can experience more things and hone himself.

Zhou naturally shed tears again, but he couldn't stop his son's footsteps, so he could only do everything to pack up his things, so that Liu Yunyang had no worries.

Yunyang originally planned to go on the road by himself, but later he listened to his family's advice, brought some people, and prepared a half-new carriage.

Shang Hao naturally followed Yun Yang's side, and there were also people he selected from among the martial arts subordinates that Yun Xiang bought.

The twelve single men, according to their age, have been renamed. They all changed their surnames to Liu, and twelve earthly branches were added to the end. Liu Yunyang unceremoniously asked for four, Yunsheng asked for four, and the remaining four were given to Liu Chengshuang. As for the little Yun Xuan, Yun Xiang left the two youngest boys in the three families to him and grew up with him.

Liu Yunyang chose to leave home on the ninth day of October, accompanied by Shang Hao, Liu Chen, and Liu Si. Yun Xiang had already wrapped a few silver tickets in oiled paper and sewed them into Yun Yang's underwear. And he put in his purse some pieces of silver, and small silver bills.

The carriage was not small, but the four big men still couldn't rest. Yun Xiang put a few tents and sleeping bags, as well as a duvet, in the storage space under the car plank. After all, it's cold, so if you can't find a place to stay, you can survive for a while. (To be continued......)
