Chapter Ninety-Five: Feasting and Having Fun

The imperial examination culture has a long history, and after the Chinese style, candidates usually hold a banquet to celebrate.

The more famous is the Luming banquet after the township examination and the grace banquet after the palace examination. Of course, the Enrong Banquet is the official statement of the Ministry of Rites in the Ming Dynasty, and the people are still more accustomed to calling it the Qionglin Banquet.

Of course, there can also be a banquet after the hospital examination, but it is not governmental, and it is not as large as the two of them.

A total of 49 new talents gathered at Haiping Tower to celebrate.

Among them, only Zhang Yinian, who had just been dismissed from Xiucai's fame, was missing.

Haiping Building is a famous restaurant in Ningbo Prefecture, and its name is taken from Zhang Ruoxu's "Spring River Flower Moon Night" in the famous sentence "Spring River Tide is even Haiping, and the bright moon on the sea is born together".

The moonlit night of the Spring River is a poem that Xu Yan likes very much, the artistic conception and momentum of the poem are the peak, and it is a rare masterpiece, so there is a lonely saying that the whole Tang Dynasty is suppressed.

People are in good spirits when they are happy, although it is much easier for the small three yuan than the big three yuan, but it is also an achievement.

Of course, there are elements of Xu Yan's hard work, but more importantly, Qian Dehong.

If there was no old Mr. Qian, Xu Yan's road to the imperial examination would definitely not be so smooth.

At the end of the day, it's a relational society.

You are destined to not go far if you are only talented but have no relationship.

pressed these and didn't mention them, but said that a group of talented people wrapped up Haiping Lou, and after taking the seats in turn, the head of the court should speak as usual.

Xu Yan knew that this was unavoidable, so he cleared his throat and said: "We are all from Ningbo, and in the eyes of people from other provinces, we are fellow villagers. In the future, when I took the township examination, others would only say how well the Ningbo Fushi exams were, but not how Cixi County and Dinghai County did in the exam. I also hope that you can unite as one and win glory for the culture and education of Ningbo Prefecture. ”

Xu Yan's words are really fine.

During the government examination, the scholars of each county may still compare, but after the college examination, they are both classmates and fellow villagers.

At the time of the township test, they were the closest comrades-in-arms, and their interests were naturally the same.

To put it further, in fact, Zhejiang students are all fellow villagers.

It's just that this will not be well reflected until after the end of the township test, when the scholars from all over the country rush to Beijing to compete.

Sometimes things are so wonderful, there will be different opinions at different stages, and being able to hear the local voice when you are in a foreign land is the happiest thing.

The scholars were moved.

Look at the head of the Xu case, and then look at that Zhang Yinian, it's really a high judgment.

I still remember that at the end of the government test, Zhang Yinian attacked Xu Yan as a native of Dinghai County, which attracted countless protests from Dinghai County.

Since then, Zhang Yinian's reputation has been stinky.

And Xu not only regarded the scholars of Ningbo Mansion as fellow villagers, but also encouraged everyone to join the group to keep warm and work together

I don't know how much higher this position and posture are than Zhang Yinian.

At this moment, everyone is throwing themselves to the ground for Xu Yan's admiration, if such a person with both ability and political integrity does not be the head of the case, who will do it?

Chen Maoli was in high spirits and said casually:

Singing when you get it, and resting when you lose it, and being sad and hateful is also leisurely.

There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes.

This poem is good, but after all, it belongs to someone else.

Chen Maoli groaned and looked at Xu Yan.

"Xu's first song!"

I don't know who shouted first, and then all the scholars started to coax.

Xu Yan is known as a poet, and since the Gushan Poetry Club, he has become a famous little poet in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is inevitable to compose poetry on occasions such as banquets.

Xu Yan was already in this position, so it was naturally difficult to refuse, so he cleared his throat and groaned:

I heard that Ji Ruan was depressed and addicted to rice juice.

Calling for wine is like saving and burning, and the five buckets have never been wet.

Clear words are more reasonable, and they are often hearty.

I don't know Sanlu Gong, Shen Xiang is in a hurry.

It is like a hoofs in the clouds, and looks at the ducks in the pool.

Isn't it grandiose to overload, and it is sad to be empty.

The garden is full of flowers.

Rice boiled mushroom green, calamus and wine white.

The wine is my lips, and the flowers are my flowers.

Walking from the fisherman's song, a lonely cry.

Awakening the soul is more bitter, and pouring wine is lacking.

Today's good banquet has thousands of miles of guests.

May the guests be drunk and not wake up, and wake up with worries.

A long poem was chanted, which attracted applause from the audience.

"The head of the Xu case is really extraordinary, and this kind of poetry is put in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also first-class."

"Who says it's not, it's a great blessing that my Ningbo Mansion has such a little poet immortal!"

"Not only is it a blessing for Ningbo Mansion, it is simply a blessing for the Ming Dynasty!"

"One more song, another song for Xu Case Leader!"

"Yes, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't go home!"

"Xu is the pride of Ningbo talents!"

Xu Yanzhi was speechless.

It's a way to live.

But looking at this posture, it would be too disappointing if he didn't agree to compose a poem.

The last one, this is the last one anyway!

Xu Yan drank a glass of rice wine, and then chanted:

The moon turns around the Lu reflects the light, and the smoke drifts through the Han Department to attract the immortals.

At the beginning of the yellow door quilt of the imperial mansion, it has received the fragrance of the maid in the heavenly clothes.

The bell in front of the window reports to Changle, and the outdoor bell hanging is a chapter.

Yinpu first flew to the South Pavilion, and the Yulin Guards were full of Zhou.

Si Li Chen Bing entered the forbidden Qi, and Xiangjun stayed home late.

The bead foil is high and moves the pavilion bell, and the gold key is suspended and leaked.

The tiger view is half-covered by clouds, and the water in the dragon pond is all oblique.

The surging blue sky is far away from the geese, and the Yingying Palace tree hides crows.

The dew drops of the heavenly street should be willows, and the wind returns to the upper garden and wants to fly flowers.

Cheng Lang cut the Lianhua house, and cut the window candles in the middle of the night.

Drafting who is the hunting chapter, and the song of Yang Chun.

The world has been singing the year for a long time, and all the nations are jubilant and serving the royal feast.

Dr. Shaoyin played together, and also heard the official biography of Zhenshan.

I am ashamed that the ministers are empty, and the Ming Dynasty gives money for banquets.

After chanting a poem, Xu Yan took another sip.

"Case Master Xu, this is a depiction of the royal banquet scene."

"Extraordinary, the ambition of the head of the case Xu is really extraordinary."

"Yanque Anzhi Honghu's ambition, we are still immersed in the joy of winning the hospital examination, and Xu is already thinking about the scene of the imperial banquet after the palace examination."

"Case Chief Xu is encouraging us, and we can't be resigned to being left behind."

In fact, Xu Yan thought about it so much, but he just felt that he groaned out of his mouth.

Chen Maoli sang happily on the side, the song was Yulin Ling, but it was in Kunshan dialect.

At this time, the development of Kunqu opera was still in its early stages, and many things had not yet been settled.

For example, the famous water mill chamber.

However, Chen Maoli sang very well, and his voice was very moving.

Xu Yan never thought that he still had this skill, but he was stunned.

"Brother Shixian, how does Brother Fool sing."

After singing a song, Chen Maoli said very proudly.

Xu Yan smiled and quipped: "Brother Lu Qing can go to the pear orchard." ”

"Well, forget it."

Chen Maoli said stupidly: "If you let the Great Grandmaster see it, you can't beat me to death." ”

"This singing is also a graceful thing."

Xu Yan said with a smile: "The key is to be in line with the great grandmaster's mind. I'm afraid that Brother Luqing's voice is not what Grandmaster Lei likes. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, no one did not like Kunqu Opera, but the current tone is still a bit hard, and there is a lot of room for improvement.
