Chapter 370: The Great Grace Feast
The spring is late, the trees are blooming, the canggeng is chattering, and the silk is picked. - The Book of Songs
On the first morning after the release of the list, Zhu Ping'an had breakfast and rode to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites on a black horse that killed Matt.
On this day, Emperor Jiajing gave a banquet to the Ministry of Rites, which is the legendary Qionglin Banquet, or more appropriately, it should be called the Grace Banquet. The emperor gave a banquet, can it not be gracious? This is a royal banquet, and Zhu Ping'an, as a foodie, is naturally very positive.
Zhu Ping'an also heard about what happened in the backyard of the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion last night, and when he heard the news that Li Shu whipped the maid, he was not much surprised, after all, it was not uncommon for Li Shu to beat and scold his subordinates when she was a child, and she was obvious to all, although this girl's temper was much more restrained when she grew up. In this hierarchical feudal society, don't ask for any democratic equality or anything like that, it is not a democratic and equal society in the first place.
Because Mrs. Linhuai Hou gave a ban order, what happened in the backyard, Zhu Ping'an was not very clear, but he only vaguely knew what was poisoned, and Li Shu whipped Miss Six's girl. But I can also guess that yesterday when the official came back from Yujie, Li Shu proposed to let Miss Six send her sweet soup, about what went wrong with this bowl of sweet soup, Li Shu beat Miss Six's maid.
However, based on Zhu Ping'an's understanding of Li Shu, it is probably because Li Shu deliberately wants to teach Miss Six a lesson.
From the moment Li Shu asked Miss Six for sweet soup, Zhu Ping'an guessed about it.
Before going out in the morning, when the little girl with the bun brought breakfast to herself, she brought the page of paper that was said to be given to Wang Xiaoer, and glanced at it in a hurry at any time. But Zhu Ping'an, who is almost unforgettable, can still see it clearly.
The above is about the disposal of the girl who was beaten by Li Shu.
Zhu Ping'an was not surprised when he heard that Li Shu beat someone, but when he saw this page, Zhu Ping'an was still a little surprised. Li Shu's handling of the "involved" girl was somewhat unexpected by Zhu Ping'an. Marrying an honest local, an honest and honest husband is not a good destination for the maid, according to the first-class maid to give it a dowry, it must be a lot of money by the standards of the Li Mansion, and the couple will work hard in the future, and they will not worry about eating and drinking in the second half of their lives.
Li Shu, who is brutal and black-bellied, also has such a side. Somewhat unexpected by Zhu Ping'an.
In recent days, the dark horse that killed Matt seemed to have hooked up with a certain female horse in the stable of Linhuai Houfu, and when Zhu Ping'an took it out, this goods were still tens of millions of unhappy. Walk on the road. This thing is all in the posture of a dozen female horses that others owe it, and the horse's face is long, and the back is high.
It seems that spring is indeed a season when birds fall in love and ants live together. Even killing Matt hooked up with the sister paper.
Under the passive sabotage of killing Matt's unwillingness to kill 10 million people. When Zhu Ping'an arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he was almost late, if it weren't for the fact that he wasn't late, Zhu Ping'an would almost have considered whether to castrate the goods.
Eating and drinking is about the common way for us Chinese and probably the whole world to celebrate.
This Grace Banquet is probably the most happy and relaxing thing for the new Jinshi of the Gathering Rite Department. Yesterday, when the list was released. If you're still nervous, you don't need to be nervous today. Eat and drink. You can relax as much as you want, don't look at the scale of today's banquet, there are many people, but the protagonist is four hundred new jinshi.
It was not easy for Emperor Jiajing to leave Xiyuan yesterday, and it was not easy for Emperor Jiajing to attend the Qionglin banquet today, which was also expected by everyone. In addition, Emperor Jiajing did not come, and everyone was more relaxed.
This grace banquet was presided over by Xu Jie, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and after conveying the will of Emperor Jiajing to set up a banquet, Xu Shangshu also congratulated the new Jinshi, and then divided the seats to start the grace banquet.
The first three people, that is, the champion Zhu Ping'an, Han Yupeng and Tanhualang, sat at a table, and the rest were five people at a table.
The whole Enrong banquet was set up about 100 tables, and the banquet was also presided over by the imperial chef of the imperial dining room by the imperial decree of Jiajing, you must know that the imperial chef is serving Emperor Jiajing and the palace, and the craftsmanship of the imperial chef is naturally the best layer on the pyramid of the entire Ming chef world.
This Enrong banquet did not disappoint Zhu Ping'an, and there were a total of 30 dishes made of cattle, sheep, pigs, deer, roe deer, chickens, ducks, fish, seafood, and vegetables, corresponding to the good omen of Emperor Jiajing's ascension to the throne for 30 years.
The imperial chefs did not disappoint Zhu Ping'an, whether it was color, texture or taste, all of them made Zhu Ping'an more satisfied.
The Enrong banquet is for the new jinshi to celebrate, eating and drinking is the mainstream, except for the beginning Zhu Ping'an under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the new jinshi together to toast three glasses of wine to the senior officials present, the others are not too particular.
However, as the champion, Zhu Ping'an was still taken care of by many people, and the wine was toasted a lot.
In particular, Ouyang Zishi took the lead, leading several new jinshi who hooked up together to prepare to take turns pouring Zhu Ping'an wine, and walked towards Zhu Ping'an step by step.
Ouyang Zishi's intentions were written on his face, and Zhu Ping'an could naturally see it at a glance.
Before Ouyang Zishi and the others arrived, they slipped away with a wine glass and slipped to Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen's table, avoiding Ouyang Zishi's menacing by toasting to their table.
Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen heard Zhu Ping'an talk about Ouyang Zishi, and after seeing Ouyang Zishi's posture, they guessed that Ouyang Zishi attributed his failure to Zhu Ping'an. At this moment, the two also cooperated with Zhu Ping'an to help Zhu Ping'an pay attention to Ouyang Zishi's movements.
As a result, there was such a scene in the entire Enrong banquet: whenever Ouyang Zishi wanted to bring someone to pour Zhu Ping'an's wine in the name of toasting, Zhu Ping'an always walked around with a wine glass in advance to toast to other tables, without one exception.
So, Ouyang Zishi always came with excitement and returned disappointed, and the depression in his chest was even worse, robbing me of the champion and robbing my woman
Especially Ouyang Zishi, watching everyone at the Enrong banquet look at Zhu Ping'an differently, which aggravated the depression in his heart.
I had no choice but to borrow wine to kill my sorrows.
One glass, two glasses, and three glasses didn't take long before Ouyang Zishi got drunk.
Of course, Ouyang Zishi was not the only one who got drunk at this Enrong banquet, when the gold list was titled, his life has been at its peak since then, and there are more drunk people who are happy. After the entire Enrong banquet, almost everyone in the new Jinshi drank red flutter, and there were no less than ten people who reached the level of drunkenness.
Looking at life after drinking, people who are drunk also behave in a variety of ways. However, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already prepared, and in order to prevent the Jinshi and officials present from losing their temper after drinking, they had already arranged for nearly 100 servants to be prepared in advance, and whenever there was a drunk person, there would be an errand officer who would come over and help him to the lodging place that had been arranged long ago to sober up.
Wang Shizhen was "carried" over, this kid was too poor in drinking, and he got drunk after only three glasses; Zhang Siwei also drank a little high, but he was still comfortable in words and actions.
Zhu Ping'an was spared because of his self-created Dafa of avoiding alcohol.
However, before Zhu Ping'an could rejoice, he received an invitation, a familiar style, and an invitation from Yan Fu. In addition to Zhu Ping'an, only a few people present also received invitations from the Yan Mansion.
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's invitation, many Jinshi were red-eyed.
This is the practice of the recent Grace Banquet, this Grace Banquet is a great Grace Banquet, this is the Emperor's Banquet. After the end of this great grace banquet, there was also a small grace banquet, which was given by Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Great grace and glory are only superficial benefits.
The benefits of Xiao Enrong's banquet are real, once it is appreciated by Yan Ge Lao, it will really be a smooth career in the future. (To be continued.) )
