Jia Lian kept watching from behind, and the three of them laughed together, and even he felt a little better. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Siqi Jade and Jia Lian didn't miss it, let the two of them choose their favorite things, and then while everyone was not paying attention, before leaving, Jia Lian secretly bought the bracelet that Qin Keqing had seen before, and the pair of earrings that Jade had been looking at for a long time.
Money, if you earn it, you will spend it, and it is better than keeping it for nothing.
Jia Lian chose to have lunch at Qinghexuan, which is the most famous restaurant in Kyoto, and is often a place where literati and writers gather, and once every three years, the Luming Banquet, the Qionglin Banquet, the Eagle Yang Banquet, and the Huiwu Banquet are basically held here.
The Luming Banquet, the Qionglin Banquet, the Eagle Yang Banquet, and the Huiwu Banquet are also known as the four banquets of the imperial examination.
The Luming Banquet is a banquet for the new imperial examination, which originated in the Tang Dynasty. Because the banquet is to sing the poem of "Deer Song" in the "Book of Songs, Xiaoya", it is named the Deer Ming Banquet. It has been used from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
The Qionglin Banquet is a banquet held for the new science and technology scholars, which originated in the Song Dynasty. "Qionglin" was originally a famous garden of the Song Dynasty in the west of Bianjing City, Song Hui Zongzheng and two years ago, in the Qionglin Garden banquet new and the first Jinshi, therefore, along the common name is called "Qionglin Banquet". Later, it was once changed to a wedding banquet, Yuan, Ming, and Xuan Grace Banquet.
The Eagle Yang Banquet is a banquet attended by the examiners and the martial artists in the examination after the trial list of Wuke Township. The so-called "eagle flying" is to take the meaning of the mighty eagle flying.
The martial arts banquet is a banquet held in the military department after the trial release of the martial arts hall, and the scale is larger than the eagle banquet.
Since ancient times, civil and military affairs have been wrong, but this restaurant can win both civil and military subjects in one fell swoop, which shows the depth of its background.
Of course, the deep background is not the biggest reason why it has stood to this day, and no other restaurant can match it.
Among them, Qinghexuan not only has a strong background, but also the most important thing is that he is very generous to his son.
Whether it is Wenju or Wuju, ten rooms will be vacated for the lifters to live in every year. Naturally, the way to move in these twenty rooms is not so simple.
There are two rings at the door, and there are ten champions each.
And the champion is the person who stays in Qinghexuan, if others are not satisfied, they can choose a competition at random, and the winner becomes the new champion and can stay in Qinghexuan.
Of course, the content of the competition is different because of the different civil and military affairs, and it is not possible to challenge continuously, each champion only accepts one challenger a day, and if you lose, you can continue to challenge other champions until you win.
Therefore, every year before the imperial examination, the main competition at the entrance of Qinghexuan is a project that everyone is looking forward to.
And what's more ingenious is that the champion in the two disciplines of civil and military affairs, nine times out of ten, is from Qinghexuan, so over time, staying in Qinghexuan has also become the unanimous wish of the lifters.
And such a ring is not endless, three days before the imperial examination, the ring will be withdrawn, and then the champion of Qinghexuan will no longer accept any challenge. Staying in Qinghexuan's lift, a degree is free, and not only that, because other people see the prospect of Qinghexuan's lift, basically as long as they stay in Qinghexuan, until the list is released, a total of twenty civil and military lifters are the objects of each family's competition.
Therefore, no matter what your background is, as long as you successfully move into Qinghexuan, then before the list is released, you will basically make a lot of money.
And the reason why Jia Lian chose this place for lunch is not only because of the fame here, but also because of another reason.
Jia Lian wants Liu Xianglian to follow the idol style, and she can be like those actors and stars in later generations, with the ability to respond to all calls and control public opinion.
And this is the Red Mansion, whether it is the future generations, the status of the servants and the like is too low, so Jia Lian wants to see if he can find a breakthrough from Qinghexuan.
Because Qing Hexuan deliberately cultivated a group of very talented women in order to cater to each other, and these women were basically not obtained by money. They are the same as the official ladies in the boudoir, they have been clothed and fed since they were young, and they have a special person to teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc., all of them are top-notch.
And although these women show their heads, they are extremely powerful among the literati and elegant guests, and almost every one of them has a very large number of supporters behind them.
And the main task of these women is to have fun with everyone in the four banquets of the imperial examination and other banquets of literati and scholars. And if you want to get to know them "deeply" and get into the boudoir or something, you can only talk to them and let them voluntarily dedicate themselves.
If you want to use something strong, the Qinghexuan behind them is not easy to mess with.
And these women are often invited to major families to participate in the banquets of the sons or something, and there are rumors in the market, and they also have an indescribable relationship with some powerful people. But none of their supporters believed it, and they tried their best to defend the goddess in their hearts.
And Qinghexuan has a talented female election every month, and those girls at the grassroots level want to be on the top, so they can rely on this to accumulate popularity step by step, and then climb to the top of the pyramid.
Because not everyone is qualified to participate in banquets and enter and leave the mansions of the magnates.
And today, July 15, happens to be the day of the monthly competition. There will be canvassing activities at noon, and the main project is in the evening.
And the so-called popular selection method is to look at the auction of their things, or words or handicrafts.
The winner of the auction is the winner of the month.
A group of four people, Jia Lian took the lead, and led everyone to the private room, which had a balcony where you could see the activities below.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the lobby of Qinghexuan was crowded, and the private room was a lot empty.
At this level of competition, those real bigwigs disdain to watch.
Usually when the year-end competition and all the talented women get together, Qinghexuan will have an unprecedented grand occasion.
In the private room, Xiao Er sent the menu, and there was also a delicate book.
It's all about opera or minor tunes.
It turns out that there is a performance at noon in Qinghexuan, and guests in the private room can order first. And today, including Jia Lian, Qinghexuan has a total of twenty private rooms, and only five tables are seated. So basically every table can be ordered.
Jia Lian was not interested in these at all, threw the book to the three little girls, and asked everyone to look at it casually, and then prepared to go to the lobby by himself.
Because Jia Lian and his party were crowded, Xiao Er directly led them to a slightly larger private room. And this private room happened to be relatively back, Jia Lian watched while walking, and walked down slowly.
Seeing that he was about to reach the staircase, Jia Lian looked up and just saw a familiar figure enter the private room next to him.
"How is he?"
With doubts on his face, Jia Lian quickly took two steps forward, and when he saw that the door was closed, he hesitated a little.
What to do?
