That night, Zhao Nai drank a lot of wine, talked a lot, and chattered and chattered about his pain over and over again, and even kept scolding others, scolding the filth and injustice of the world, scolding other people's success, and his own downfall.

It can be said that he vomited the depression he had accumulated since he was a child. When he woke up the next day, he couldn't remember anything, only that He Zhiyuan had been by his side and suffered a night's sin.

I don't know when Zhao Nai fell asleep on He Zhiyuan's bed. In fact, He Zhiyuan didn't drink much, and he was completely sobered up by the time he was almost four watches. Seeing Zhao Nai, who was lying on the bed and falling asleep, he had no sleepiness for a long time.

In the end, he still went to Zhao Nai's room to make do with it for a while, but he didn't fall asleep much, one was the stimulation of alcohol, and the other was the excitement of the spirit. When it was dawn, he simply got up and ordered Xiao Er to make a few bowls of sobering soup and a light breakfast, and then waited for them to wake up.

After Zhao Nai woke up, he saw He Zhiyuan sitting at the table, and there was still decanting soup and breakfast on the table. I can't remember a lot of what I said last night, but thinking about my performance last night, I feel a pang of guilt and gratitude in my heart......

The guilt is that he complained and complained over and over again after drinking last night, and even said disrespectful things to He Zhiyuan, although he said the truth, but it was really wrong to say such things to his benefactor. Gratitude is even more and simply cannot be expressed in words.

Zhao Nai's brain was buzzing, and his mind was not very clear, but he had to get up now, because there was still an important banquet waiting for them today. It was he who turned over and got up, and said to He Zhiyuan, who was sitting at the table: "Brother Wenyu, I ...... Yesterday's ......"

He Zhiyuan said with a smile: "I won't mention the past anymore, between you and my brothers, you don't need your mother-in-law and mother-in-law, drink the sobering soup, let's go after drinking." ”

After breakfast, the group took two carriages and went straight to the governor's yamen to attend the deer banquet held by the governor's yamen...... This "Luming Banquet" is a banquet with a long tradition and high specifications, ranking among the four major banquets of the imperial examination, and there are also three banquets of "Qionglin", "Yingyang" and "Huiwu", of which the latter two are banquets of the martial arts examination, and the degree of attention is far from being comparable with it.

From the beginning of the Tang Dynasty to the present dynasty, the highest local governor has always set up this banquet on the day after the release of the township examination list to entertain examiners, invigilators and new imperial examinations.

And the reason why it is named "Luming" is because "deer" is homophonic with "Lu". The new middle school is the beginning of entering the "Lu", of course, it is a good celebration. But the complex of scholars and doctors who want to be bitches and set up archways is very serious. They don't talk about getting promoted and getting rich, because it's very different from the education they received, so they take the name "Luming", which sounds very poetic, but is actually vulgar.

At the banquet, there will also be a poem by Xie Yuan's song "Deer Song", and the Five Classics Kui Dance Kui Xing Dance, in order to praise the talents of the people, celebrate the imperial examination and the younger brother, and wish the great kui of the children, independent leaders, trying to prove that this banquet is for the elegant "Lu Ming", not with the copper smell of "Lu Ming".

There will also be a souvenir for you.

With the yearning for the exquisite souvenirs, the carriage stopped in front of the governor's yamen, and the four of them took out the red invitations, and entered the yamen with their heads held high in the envious eyes of the guards.

When I arrived in the banquet hall, it was not surprising that there were lights everywhere, draped in red and green. The lifters have basically arrived, and several fellow examiners have also arrived, and they are surrounded by a group of lifters, and they are close to each other.

When the four of them entered, the room was silent, and all eyes were on the four of them, whether it was writing or lifting. He Zhiyuan and the others discussed it on the way, and tried to keep a low profile when they came in, so as not to attract jealousy. But the reputation of today's Ke Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan is known to everyone in just one day. Some people even predict that these four people can be on the emperor list together, and it is really impossible to keep a low profile.

Therefore, the four of them had to separate, according to what was written on the list, find their respective masters, perform the gift of master and apprentice, and thank the examiner and the candidate for getting to know each other, which is also one of the purposes of this banquet.

Coincidentally, Zhao Nai and He Zhiyuan chose the same scripture and the same room teacher, so the two went over and saluted in a proper manner: "The student visits the teacher." ”

The Fang Master's surname was Ren, and he was born rich, but when he heard the words, he laughed directly, and nodded frequently: "Okay, good, the two most wonderful students are actually ordered by this official." After that, he said to He Zhiyuan: "You must be Wen Yu, right?" ”

He Zhiyuan nodded and said, "It's the student." ”

Ren Fangshi said with a gratifying face: "Your article is old and serious, it is indeed a superb work, even if it is placed in Jiangnan, where the literary style is at its peak, it is also one of the best articles." I thought that the person who could write this article must be a candidate who has passed the age of standing, but I didn't expect it to be a teenager who has just come of age! It's terrifying! ”

He Zhiyuan smiled modestly: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

Subsequently, Master Ren said to Zhao Nai: "You are Dong Qiao, right?" ”

"It's the students!" Zhao Nai replied respectfully.

Master Ren still said with a relieved face: "Your article is not bad, I first saw Dong Qiao's exam papers, and then Wen Yu's exam papers." I recommended Dong Qiao's exam papers, and the two examiners nodded together and said, "Xie Yuan of this subject is here!" I didn't expect that the next day, I saw Wen Yu's article again, I feel that this article is similar to Dong Qiao's style, but it is better in other aspects, when the two examiners saw it, they said with a happy face: "Today, we Shandong is brilliant, even if this style is placed in Yingtian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is also the best work of the top five!" So the examiner ordered Wen Yu's Xie Yuan, and Dong Qiao had to settle for second. ”

Zhao Nai still replied respectfully: "It's good to be able to pass the exam!" It was already a fluke to get second in the exam this time. ”

"No, you're all not lucky! It's all due to your strength. Master Ren said firmly: "The chief examiner, Lord Shao, has always said that this subject is the best in the township examination in decades, and the two of you represent the highest level of Shandong Juzi, next year's spring, our Shandong candidates will definitely shine!" But you must not be proud, but understand that there are people outside of men, and there is heaven outside of heaven. ”

Both of them replied in unison: "The teacher has taught you a lesson!" Students must guard against arrogance and rashness, and will never disappoint the expectations of their teachers in the spring of next year. ”

At this time, it was rumored outside the hall that "Shandong Governor Xu has arrived!" The roommaster motioned for the two of them to return to their seats and sit down.

Next, a man in his fifties in a red robe walked in, and there were a number of officials behind him, and He Zhiyuan knew that the man in the red robe was the governor Xu Yuanxu.

Before the banquet began, Lord Xu had to say some polite words of congratulations and encouragement, and then the banquet began.

Among the many newcomers, He Zhiyuan is an undergraduate Xie Yuan, and he is the youngest, and he is also wealthy and simple in the emperor's heart, so he has long been famous, and he has naturally become a person who is in the limelight among them. Therefore, in the banquet that lasted for two hours, there was an endless stream of toasters and set-ups.

Unconsciously, He Zhiyuan drank a little too much, and at this time, a lifter next to him said softly: "He Jieyuan, don't drink anymore, according to the rules, at the end of the banquet, you will lead the singing of "Deer Song". ”

When He Zhiyuan heard this, he remembered that when he entered the banquet hall, it seemed that a handyman had told him about the process of the banquet, but he didn't listen carefully. In his cognition, it was just an ordinary wine banquet. As soon as this person reminded him, he remembered that it was indeed the case. Therefore, he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you for reminding me, I haven't asked for the name of the honorable person yet." ”

The man said: "In Xia Qiao, the name is Dai, and the word Qingshan." ”

"It turned out to be Brother Qingshan, disrespectful and disrespectful!" He Zhiyuan said politely. Qiao Dai was the third in this imperial examination, and he was the second in the original history. This person is about twenty-one or twelve years old, and he must be able to get such good results, and he must also be a talent.

After the two of them whispered politely, Qiao Dai said: "Brother Wen Yu, I heard that you have created your own school of science, this school is a practical science, and I also want to understand some practical studies of this school." Can you borrow a few books from Brother Wen Yu to read? ”

He Zhiyuan thought to himself, it seems that he is a reader who is curious about science. It was he who said: "Of course you can, but I don't have it now, and I have to prepare for next year's spring festival during this time, and it's not too late to read these idle books after the spring festival." ”

When Qiao Dai heard this, he shook his head and said, "I heard that Brother Wen Yu has built a very workshop with scientific knowledge, and the local people have also benefited a lot, and Brother Wen Yu has also become the richest man in the local area. These schools of thought that benefit the country and the people are exactly what I urgently need in the Ming Dynasty, how can the books of this school be idle books? I think the Confucian scriptures have become useless idle books! ”

He Zhiyuan didn't expect Qiao Dai's idea to be so radical and bold, and he dared to say that the Confucian scriptures were idle books here! He hurriedly stopped: "Brother Qingshan is cautious! If Brother Qingshan is really interested, he will go to Juzhou with me tomorrow, and we can talk in detail. ”

This was originally a polite sentence, where did I think that Qiao Dai happily replied: "I have this intention, then I will disturb it later!" ”

At this time, a master of ceremonies shouted: "Please ask the five leaders of the undergraduate department to dance the Kui Star Dance!" ”

"Yo Yo Lu Ming, Apple of the Wild Food, I have a guest, drumming and blowing the sheng. Blowing the sheng drum reed, bearing the basket is the general, the good of the people is me, show me the circumference......"

The top five leaders of this year, after dancing the Kui Xing Dance that will try to win the championship, the banquet of more than two hours has come to an end. According to the rules, led by He Zhiyuan, the new imperial examination children dressed in silk and silk sang "Deer Song" in unison, which ended the Shandong Luming Banquet in the fourteenth year of Hongzhi.

After the meeting, there were souvenirs prepared by the province, each of whom had a set of beautifully crafted "honeysuckle cups and plates", and the bottom of the plate was engraved with an inscription marking the honor of the lifter. As the five dancers of the Kui Star Dance, there is also a silver ink cartridge as a gift, which is also exquisite; For Xie Yuanlang, who led the singing, there was another Hetian jade pen holder as a gift.

Holding a large number of post-meeting souvenirs, He Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly: "It can be seen that ancient and modern times are the same." But the other lifters didn't care as much as he did, and they all held them carefully, and they all said, "Finally added a family heirloom to his family." ”

The high and low things come second, and the important thing is the meaning that this thing carries, which is really glorious.

When bidding farewell to the chief examiner and all the room teachers, Ren Fang Shi said in a low voice: "Wen Yu will leave later, Lord Xu is invited!" ”
