The Luming Banquet is a banquet held by the local government for the new imperial examination, which is held in the Gongyuan.

Attending the banquet were not only the new imperial examination people, but also the examiners of this examination, major local officials, wealthy businessmen and Confucians, and other celebrities.

The purpose of the Luming Banquet is to celebrate the first among the new imperial examinations, and the second is to be inspirational, and the third is to try to be strong for the new imperial examinations.

In addition to these things, in fact, some hidden things are more important.

According to the usual practice, the examiner this time is the teacher of the new imperial examination, and there is a friendship between teachers and students. It's a lifetime of honor.

For the master, there is a new protégé. These protégés will continue to teach him.

For the new imperial examination people, at a certain level, the master is their backer and doorway.

The reason why it is called the Deer Ming Banquet is that the Book of Poetry • Deer Song is exemplified.

"The deer chirps and eats the apples of the wild", which means that when the deer finds the delicious weeds, they cry and beckon their companions to come and eat together.

In the eyes of the literati, this is a virtue, and when you have a good thing, you are willing to share it with your companions, rather than eating alone.

Therefore, it means that the new imperial examination students take care of each other.

From these two aspects, Jia Rui feels that this deer banquet is quite a bit of a gang meeting.

The lifters arrived, and the chief examiner Xu Daozhong entered the venue accompanied by everyone. All the lifters stood up, and everyone recited "Deer Song" together.

The Luming banquet was hosted by Jia Yucun, the prefect of Yingtianfu, and after giving a welcome speech, Xu Daozhong gave a celebratory speech.

Then the new imperial examination representative Xie Yuan Ma Fushan spoke, expressing his gratitude to the emperor and the teacher, determined to serve the imperial court, and seek happiness for the people, all of which are some routine words.

At the end of the speech, the banquet was officially opened.

Since it is a deer feast, venison is indispensable, this is a main dish, and the chicken, duck and fish are also complete, very hearty.

At first, the lifters were relatively reserved. After Xu Daozhong, Jia Yucun and others brought a few glasses, the wine came up, and everyone gradually let go, and the atmosphere became lively.

I talked a lot, and I drank a lot.

Some people shouted and put together wine, and some people began to walk from table to table, leaving each other's names and addresses for later contact.

Jia Rui, Hu Xingshan, and Chen Wenxiang were drinking vigorously, and Master Song came over.

"Tianxiang, the lord invites you to come over and get together with the two clansmen."

Jia Yucun originally thought that Jia Rui would take the initiative to find him today, which was not only polite, but also to express his gratitude to him by the way, so that he could show off his relationship with Jia Fu in front of others.

But Jia Rui didn't pay attention to this stubble at all, and he was annoyed, so he had to take the initiative to find Jia Rui.

People came to look for it, and it wouldn't be good if they didn't go over, so Jia Rui made a happy appearance and went over.

"Meet the prefect, I didn't dare to visit the prefect before, in order to avoid suspicion, and I ask for your forgiveness."

"Tianxiang doesn't have to be polite, it's all his own family. The virtuous do not avoid relatives, Tianxiang's volume this time, I also read it, and it is indeed well deserved to be able to be lifted. ”

Jia Yucun's words are somewhat meaningful.

He said that he did not avoid relatives, which implied Jia Rui, you can win this time, and I will help.

After reading Jia Rui's volume, others thought it was a kind word when they heard it, but what Jia Yucun said was indeed the truth.

With Jia Rui's level, as long as he is not deliberately suppressed, he should indeed be promoted.

Who is Jia Rui, he naturally understands what Jia Yucun means.

But he didn't take it seriously, anyway, I didn't cheat, I didn't beg you, I wasn't afraid of what you were doing, and I didn't owe you favors.

However, Tianxiang's article is acceptable, but in terms of poetry, it lacks some heat. I'm going to have to work hard in the future. ”

Jia Yucun was regarded as a guest by Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng regarded him as an inspirational model, and often used him as an example for the children of Jiafu.

Every time Jia Yucun went to Jiafu, Jia Zheng had to call Baoyu and Jia Huan to accept Jia Yucun's guidance.

This time, Jia Rui didn't take him seriously, and he was annoyed, so he hit Jia Rui by the way.

Poetry and articles are originally things that are the opinions of the benevolent and the wise, and they are very subjective.

Besides, the kind of standard poetry done in the exam, where can it show all the abilities of a person?

But when he said this, Jia Rui really couldn't refute it at this time.

Jia Yucun, you bastard, wait for me here, wait for a while, when the poetry meeting comes, see how I slap you in the face.

"By the way, do these two Tianxiang know each other?"

Jia Yucun knocked Jia Rui, then let the matter go, pointing at Jia Fang and Jia Youdao.

"Ouch, forgive me for being clumsy, I really haven't seen it, dare to ask ......."

"Hahaha...... this is what a family doesn't know a family. This is Jia Fang, and this is Jia You. It is the person who stayed in the twelfth room of the old house in Jinling in our house. The property of the two prefectures in the capital is in charge of it, and in terms of generation, they are still your uncles. ”

"Ouch, this is rude, I've seen two uncles, I didn't know my uncle before, if it's rude, please Hanhan."

Jia Rui stood up and saluted as a junior.

Although the two have never met, their names are known, and in the coming days, they will become his main rivals.

But it's not time to turn around yet, and the etiquette on the scene still has to be talked about.

"Virtuous nephew don't need to be polite, sit down quickly, we are a family, and we just happened to have a few drinks together today." Congratulations to the virtuous nephew high school. ”

Jia Fang said politely.

"Yes, it's difficult for the virtuous nephew to get a trip to Jinling, this is the matter, I must go to the old mansion to have a look."

Jia You said.

Hehe, I'm going to go, but it's not time yet.

"Naturally, I have to go, but I still have to go to Suzhou, first pick up Miss Lin from my aunt's family, and then go over together."

"Well, we'll be waiting at home. If you don't stay here for a while, your ancestors will know about it and think that we are neglecting. ”

Several people talked together for a while, drank two glasses of wine, and Jia Yucun stood up.

"You guys talk a little longer, I'm going to host the poetry meeting."

The so-called poetry meeting is a fixed program at the Luming banquet.

Everyone is a person, and if they are admitted today, everyone will write a poem and article, which is not only to show their personal talents, but also to help fun.

"Your Excellency, just go and get busy, don't worry about us, I've been waiting for a long time."

"Oh? Could it be that Tianxiang already has a masterpiece? ”

Jia Yucun asked.

"I don't dare to say that it has been passed down through the ages, and it is not difficult to beat the crowd today."

Jia Yucun was slightly stunned, and then recovered.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Tianxiang's masterpiece. If this is really the case, it will also add color to my Jia family's face. ”

Jia Yucun returned to the main seat, whispered a few words to Xu Daozhong, and announced the beginning of the poetry meeting.

On the one hand, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone had already been memorized, and the lifters were actually prepared, so they went over to write.

Now it's not an exam, it's free to play, so some write poems and some write lyrics. Some write, some write, and some paint, each showing their abilities, and strive to show their best side.

Jia Rui's poetry and kung fu are average, and he was a science and engineering man in his previous life, so it is actually difficult to make a splash.

But he has the killer weapon of the traverser - copying, and now is the time to show his skills.

Jia Yucun, this time I'll hold back a big move, put a satellite, and drop your eyeballs to the ground in shock.

Jia Rui thought about it a little, picked up his pen and wrote it down - copied Nalan Xingde's "Mulan Ci".

"If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan. Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. ”

"Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain rained and the bell did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day. ”

After writing and checking it, and seeing that there are no mistakes, sign your name.

Nalan Xingde, I'm sorry, just use your poem to slap the villain in the face.

Jia Rui waited for the ink to dry, so he took the poem over and handed it to Jia Yucun.

"Please ask the prefect for advice."

As soon as Jia Yucun saw the first sentence, his face changed suddenly, and he stood up unconsciously.
