Chapter 456: The Emperor's Banquet

Shen Xi refused very simply, without any room for negotiation.

The main reason is that Shen Xi feels that it is not easy to face Miss Li Er, no matter how he says it, he was rude first, and he used this Miss Li Er as a character template into the painting, and it was very unbearable.

If Shen Xi feels indebted because of this, then it's not, he just puts good things into his paintings, and what he paints is a lady with clothes after all, but with a little less of it......

Miss Li Er is different from ordinary women in the boudoir, she can sense Shen Xi's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and she is a little regretful: "Zhao Gongzi is not willing, and the little woman is not reluctant. It's just one thing to ask, I don't know if the person who entered the painting that day of Zhao Gongzi really exists? ”

After going around for a long time, I went around the problem again and returned to the painting of that day.

Su Tong and Li Yu and others were suspicious of this matter, but they didn't think much about it, but Miss Li Er, as a party involved, was different, and what she was thinking about would be more complicated than others, which involved the innocence of her daughter's family, even if she denied it at the time, she had to ask clearly when she looked back...... Perhaps painting for her father's birthday was just an excuse to visit.

Shen Xi knew that he couldn't admit that he was killed in this matter, even if he said that he used a back of Miss Li Er, it was a blasphemy against the woman's innocence.

Shen Xi shook his head: "Isn't the woman in the painting confirmed that it is not Miss Li herself?" ”

"But ......"

Miss Li Er wanted to say something, but she was ashamed to say it, and sighed softly at the moment, "The woman in the painting is indeed a little more beautiful than the little woman, and the little woman just wants to visit and see if there is really someone in the world who looks so similar." ”

Shen Xi said: "People have similarities and similarities, Miss Li doesn't have to worry about it, in fact, it's just a painting......

This explanation is pale enough, and when I see a beautiful woman, I am a little obscene, and I make her half-disraged appearance in the painting, even if I want to round the field, it is a little far-fetched. can only make Miss Li Er, the person concerned, think that this woman may not exist herself.

But the more she said that, the more Miss Li Er thought about it.

Shen Xi sighed lightly: "Actually, this person was seen in the painting of the ancestor two years ago, and because of his beautiful appearance, it is unforgettable at a glance." ”

Shen Xi deliberately mentioned "Ancestor", which means that the Si people have passed away, don't always bother me with this question, which makes people feel sad.

Miss Li Er frowned lightly and looked at Shen Xi, with her usual meticulous observation of people. I think I can tell if what others say is genuine or intentionally perfunctory.

If Shen Xi's words before were a bit perfunctory to her, but Shen Xi's last sentence was very sincere, not like a deception.

She didn't know that Shen Xi's psychological age was far from what his appearance showed to be, this is an acting school!

"That's a little woman's heart."

Miss Li Er stood up and saluted, as if she was confessing, "I just hope that Zhao Gongzi has the opportunity to take this painting and look at the little woman." ”

Shen Xi thought to herself: "If she can't see that painting, she shouldn't give up." ”

For Shen Xi. It's not a difficult thing to paint, and it's old, so that Miss Li Er feels that this is a painting that has been painted for at least 20 years. With her only twenty-eight years old, of course she no longer doubts that the person Shen Xi painted is her.

Shen Xi said: "Three days later, I will meet Miss Li here, and I will bring the painting to see Miss Li." ”

When Miss Li Er heard this, her face was slightly relieved. He saluted and said, "Three days later, the little woman will come to visit again." ”

If you tell a lie, you have to continue to use countless lies to make it happen. However, it can make a daughter's family feel at ease about his innocence, Shen Xi feels that it is okay to do something more, anyway, he has not made a fake for a long time, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to practice his hands, this time it is just to draw a character painting, and it is not to imitate everyone's work, it is simply pediatric for him.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his house, he saw a big man sitting there with his head bowed, his face full of tears, and his expression was so sad and depressed that he didn't even notice that Shen Xi approached him.

"Senior brother has finished the martial arts exam?" Shen Xi stepped forward and asked.

Wang Lingzhi looked up and saw that it was Shen Xi, he almost cried, and it took a lot of effort to stand up with the red tassel gun, and Shen Xi noticed that the kid's leg was injured.

Shen Xi hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Lingzhi replied with a bitter face: "Senior brother, when I took the exam, I played with a big knife, and the big knife weighed more than a hundred pounds, but if I was not careful, I hurt ......."

More than 100 pounds of big knives, ordinary people can't even lift them, Wang Lingzhi actually played that thing on the school field? Shen Xi stammered: "This is a mistake, the knife fell to the ground and injured the foot?" ”

Wang Lingzhi shook his head quite innocently: "I played a good game, even the invigilator praised me, as soon as I was happy, I turned around on the competition platform twice, and fell off the platform by mistake......"

Shen Xi felt a chill in his heart.

Even if you play with a hundred pounds of big knife, you still play flower work, so you have to suffer now, right?

Pretending to be forced is really going to be struck by lightning!

Shen Xi patted Wang Lingzhi on the shoulder and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay, if you can't pass the exam this time, you can wait for next time." ”

Wang Lingyi's face was sad: "But senior brother, it's so far from Ninghua to the capital, it's a few months to go, and the food on the road is not appetizing, and the accommodation is even worse, I just want to ...... If you pass the exam once, you will naturally be the best, but if you can't do it, you won't come in the future. Do you think there is any way to remedy it? ”

Shen Xi said angrily: "I have just been admitted myself, where is there any way...... Since you don't want to go back, you can write a letter to your family, live in the capital temporarily, and wait for six years to take the exam. ”

Wang Lingzhi lowered his head and said in a low voice: "But I miss my father and mother......"

is not only a brainless violent maniac, but also a teenager who likes to cry and call his father! Wang Lingzhi just has a burly body that does not belong to his age, as well as his obsession and understanding of martial arts, in fact, in terms of IQ, he is lower than his peers.

This is the ability of God to give some people special talents and correspondingly exchange them for some ordinary people's abilities.

"Then you go back and wait for the news first, and I'll help you ask if I have a chance." Shen Xi Road.

Wang Lingzhi was grateful: "Thank you, senior brother, I know that you are the most capable, senior brother, you have won the champion, if I really can't pass the exam in the future...... I'll just follow you, senior brother, ......."

"Hurry back, you're tired from the exam these days, take care of your injuries first, don't think about anything else, I'll let you know if there's news."

Shen Xi finished speaking. personally sent Wang Lingzhi to the mouth of the alley.

Wang Lingzhi limped away with the red tassel gun, he has always acted resolutely, and Shen Xi has never seen his lonely and lonely back.

What Shen Xi thought was that this kid couldn't pass the exam this time, and he didn't want to take the exam in the future, so he could go to the military department as a martial artist to take a post and go to the frontier for a few years to train for a few years.

Wuju people are the same as Wu Jinshi, but the starting point is lower, as long as he has the ability, why fear that there will be no future in the future?

But Shen Xi put a question mark on whether the Wang family was willing to let Wang Lingzhi join the army.

You must know that Wang Lingzhi's father, Wang Changnie, has always been concerned about the government. Coupled with the fact that the Wang family is thin, letting Wang Lingzhi join the army may make the Wang family cut off the incense.

……

……

Back at home, Xie Yuner and Lin Dai were preparing dinner together.

When Shen Xi fetched water and washed his hands, Xie Yun'er walked out to Shen Xi's side, handed over the handkerchief, and asked by the way, "Has the prince's condition improved?" ”

Shen Xi said: "I didn't accompany the prince, how do I know the prince's illness?" However, judging from the news coming out of the palace these days, the prince's injury should be fine. ”

Xie Yun'er let out an "oh". seemed to have a little reverie, and looked at Shen Xi's gaze with a little puzzlement: "That dog skin plaster, what kind of medical book does it look like?" I...... Just wanted to ask, I've been researching that prescription these days. It's mediocre, but can it really remove the poison from the human body? ”

Shen Xi spread his hands and said: "Maybe it's God's mercy and I don't want the prince to have an accident, so I gave me a dream." Tell me about the prescription of the elixir. ”

Xie Yun'er glanced at Shen Xi angrily: "If you don't say it, forget it." ”

The next day, Shen Xi planned to go to the military department after work to inquire about the situation of the Wujinshi exam.

The official office of the six offices of the Ming Dynasty and the Hanlin Courtyard are next to each other, and there is an alley in the middle. Among them, the military department and the Hanlin Academy are two doors, and it is very convenient to visit the door.

Who knew that Shen Xi hadn't gone yet, and some rumors about the martial arts exam on the school field had already arrived in the Hanlin Academy.

This Hanlin Academy, after all, is a group of well-traveled readers, and there are many sources of grapevine, and almost nothing new in the capital can escape the ears and eyes of the Hanlin Academy.

“…… Yesterday, in the last martial arts test, guess what, there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old martial arts man, a hundred or ten pounds of big knife that played vigorously, and no one next to him dared to approach him, and even the chief examiner Xiong Shilang was dumbfounded. "A guy was talking eloquently, telling what happened on the martial arts trial ground yesterday.

Someone questioned: "Unlikely, right?" 100 catties of big knives, can he play it? ”

"Someone weighed the weight, even the knife with the handle is one hundred and nine pounds, and the general martial arts can't even lift it, but this one is a weightlifter, I heard that this person's performance in the literary examination is relatively average, there is a brute force. The man was stupid, and finally fell off the stage, and the big knife almost clicked his head......"

"It's really strange, what happened?"

Zhong Hanlin listened interestingly, and all of them gathered around to continue to inquire.

At this moment, there was a throat-clearing "um" sound at the door, but it was Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, who walked into the official room in the backyard of the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin who were still gathered just now hurried back to their respective positions like students who saw the teacher.

After everyone was seated, Xie Qian stood in the center of the room angrily. Zhu Xizhou stepped forward and saluted and asked, "Elder Xie Ge, is there something wrong?" ”

Xie Qian said: "Tomorrow the palace will give a banquet, and the big banquet will be given, and everything that should be prepared must be prepared in advance." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's banquets were divided into large banquets, medium banquets, and small banquets.

In a year, there are three major feasts, namely New Year's Day, Winter Solstice and Wanshou Hall, which is the emperor's birthday.

The middle banquet includes the birthday banquet of the Middle Palace, the Qianqiu Festival banquet of the East Palace, the banquet of the four Yi tribute envoys, the sacrificial banquet, the festival banquet, the gift banquet, the pilgrimage banquet, the hunting banquet and so on.

As for the small banquet, there is no rule, and even the emperor will give food, and directly give the food in the palace to the recipient's family, which is the emperor's favor.

But this banquet is said to be based on the "big feast", which is basically based on the three major feasts.

The big banquet is generally held in the Huagai Hall or the Jinshen Palace, belonging to the emperor's banquet ministers, there are also teachers and priests to sing and dance performances during the banquet, and at the same time, the crown prince banquet relatives, the East Palace subordinate officials are in the Wenhua Palace, and the queen's banquet is ordered by the ministers to be in the Kunning Palace, and the three banquets are carried out at the same time.

The banquet is the largest gathering of the government and the opposition, and it is unprecedentedly lively.
