Chapter 429: Here We Go Again
Chapter 429 is here again
Han Rui's answer was a little unkind, and the young man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and wanted to walk away, but when he saw that everyone in the hall had their own small circles, he looked carefully, and few of them knew each other, so he immediately canceled his plan.
Seeing that the young man hadn't left, Han Rui asked curiously, "Why, there are no classmates and friends of yours here?" ”
"No ......" the young man was embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "However, there are also ...... who know"
After thinking about it, Han Rui smiled and said, "Needless to say, you must know them, and they don't know you." ”
With a look of shame on his face, and a little angry, the young man said in a low voice: "I don't want to be offended here, why should Brother Tai be so aggressive." ”
Smiling, Han Rui said softly: "Do you know, tonight, what are the arrangements?" ”
This was a temptation, but the young man didn't notice it, or rather, he didn't realize at all that there was anything different about this peer in front of him, and when he heard the inquiry, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that Mr. Cen from the official school, Mr. Liu from the east of the city, and Qiu Fuzi from outside the city...... It's all here, and now, most of them are in the inner room, chatting with the money master......"
In fact, seeing so many young scholars and literati, Han Rui also guessed that the purpose of today's Qian family banquet, after all, often corresponds, Han Rui also knows that Qian Feng is the main bookkeeper, and is responsible for the cultural and political affairs of the county.
However, the imperial examination is coming, in addition to the number of apprentices in the official school, there will also be a township tribute examination, at this time, Qian Feng, who is responsible for presiding over the test, is also difficult to be idle, and the intention of these young scholars is also obvious, after all, back then, Qian Feng did not do this kind of thing, the so-called feng shui turns, it should also be his glory.
Imagining Qian Feng laughing with his waist crossed and looking triumphant, Han Rui smiled secretly in his heart, and couldn't help laughing, and a nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
As if thinking of something good, the young man was also laughing, and at the same time asked softly: "This brother, I haven't seen it before, it should be from a neighboring county." ”
Han Rui didn't answer, but asked, "How do you know." ”
You revealed it yourself, outsiders, you definitely don't know the way, but it seems that it should be a child of a big family, and he hasn't been to the state city, it's really strange, the young man muttered in his heart, and laughed in a low voice: "Brother Tai don't have to worry too much, please look at the one on the left...... He is the head of the official school in Zhijiang County, and the two on the right, the ...... of Shishou County"
"You know a lot." Han Rui said with a smile, but there was a little strange in his heart, according to the young man, these scholars and scribes should be the so-called talents and others in Jingzhou, whether it is the number of apprentices or the township tribute exam, it is not a problem, what are you doing here?
The young man smiled bitterly and whispered: "As Brother Tai said, I know these talents, but they don't take us to heart. ”
"Well, too." Han Rui deliberately said: "With their talents, they can go directly to participate in the imperial examination and be admitted to the Jinshi, so why bother to compete with us for ......"
"What Brother Tai said is extremely true." The young man thought it was true, and his helplessness was beyond words.
"But then again." Han Rui said: "Entering the Jinshi examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, talent is important, but luck and chance are also indispensable. ”
"Who's saying no, like that one." The young man, very much agreed, quietly hinted, and whispered: "If you want to say that you are talented, everyone can see it, you know what level it is, but you can't control it, people are full of luck, and the fellow villagers you have met since childhood are famous people all over the world, just a jinshi, and they can't be caught......"
That, as if talking about himself, Han Rui touched the tip of his nose, silently slurred, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes." ”
When he arrived, the young man was filled with indignation and condemned: "What is even more excessive is that he actually ......"
"Master Qiu, Mr. Liu......" At this moment, a few people came from outside the hall, a group of scholars and scholars, all of whom went up to salute, Han Rui subconsciously, hid behind the young man, and then reacted, what are you afraid of, it is this kid, criticizing himself behind his back, according to it, he should be upright, how can he be weak-minded, in the final analysis, it is still a dark box operation, and the confidence is insufficient.
Han Rui hesitated, thought about it, and felt that there was no need to rush to reveal his identity, so as not to be embarrassed.
The young man, but he didn't find Han Rui's abnormality, Qiu Fuzi, Mr. Liu, should be Jingzhou's great Confucianism, celebrities and others, seeing them, it was like seeing an idol, the young man showed excitement, did not forget to remind Han Rui next to him, and said happily: "Brother Tai, the gentlemen are here, we will also go up to see the ceremony." ”
"Look clearly, you can't squeeze in." Han Rui said, slowly turning around, but saw that the few people who came in had already surrounded everyone in the hall, and there was no gap at all.
If this is the case, the young man's face flashed with a little remorse, and he said in a low voice: "No wonder, they are standing so far away, they are all near the side door of the hall, it was expected that the gentlemen would come out there." ”
"Don't worry, there is always a chance, it's a big deal, there will be a banquet later, you come forward to toast." Han Rui said, lightly comforted, and looked at it lightly, even if he couldn't see his face, but Qian Feng's body was too eye-catching, how could he ignore it, but in the middle of the crowd, there was no figure of him.
Han Rui laughed softly: "This kid has also learned to play music." ”
At the same time, the scholars and scholars in front of them also slowly dispersed, facing a few old people at the Confucian level, and came to sit in the banquet, and then there was a very tacit understanding, you pushed me to let me, according to the level of talent, status and identity, etc., slowly sat down, and when Han Rui and the young man reacted, they had already sat down, and left two last seats for them.
Unspoken rules are really everywhere, Han Rui sighed, but the young man did not complain, but with two points of joy, he pulled Han Rui and whispered: "It's time to have a banquet, let's go over quickly." ”
The last seat, the reason why it is called the last seat, the location is naturally not very good, the back is a curtain, the front is a screen, the candlelight is dim, even the dishes on the plate, I can't see clearly, but it is also a table, no better than the people outside, even if they eat and drink under the lantern, but they think in their hearts, if they can come in, they will stand willingly.
Just when Han Rui was speculating about everyone's psychology, he heard a dingdong sound, more than a dozen maidservants raised their hands and eyebrows, Yingying walked in, lotus steps, graceful posture, led by a few, came to the front of several old men, saluted gently, put aside the wine and food, and retreated.
Then, the remaining maids, like butterflies among the flowers, walked lightly, shuttled between the banquets, the dark fragrance floated, dazzling, and waited until a few wisps of breeze swept by, and the maidservants also retreated, only the faint fragrance, remaining in the banquet.
Seeing this situation, Han Rui frowned slightly, it stands to reason that he has even experienced the scene of the palace banquet, but it is just a small family banquet, which cannot be compared with it at all, so naturally he doesn't need to take it to heart, but the details of the maid's performance make Han Rui strange.
The quality of these handmaidens is not cultivated in a few years, if it is one or two, it can be said that it is a coincidence that Qian Feng bought it, but all of them are like this, it is a little hard to believe......
The young man next to him reminded in a low voice: "Brother Tai"
Well, Han Rui came back to his senses, but saw that everyone raised their glasses, drinking the banquet wine, and there was no intention of being unconventional, Han Rui slowly picked up the cup, took a sip gently, and laughed at himself in his heart, after staying in the capital for a long time, unconsciously, his mind became heavier, and he was always unconscious, with the most sinister thoughts, speculating on others.
This kind of banquet is never for the purpose of eating and drinking, so everyone behaves mildly and elegantly, the delicacies on the plate, no matter how delicious it is, it is also a shallow taste, and the attention is all on a few old people, and some talents, let alone let go, this opportunity for close contact, have respectfully asked for advice.
Poetry and articles, scriptures and philosophies, cold and difficult, all-encompassing, anyway, according to their ideas, the more unfathomable the problem, the more it can reflect their own knowledge, different from ordinary streams. However, the great Confucian is the great Confucian, different from the pseudo-celebrity like Han Rui, no matter what the question is, a few old men will answer it lightly, that kind of free bearing, solid learning, convincing, but there is material, it is really not a lie.
"It's too late, please forgive me."
A familiar and unfamiliar voice came, a little less frivolous and a little heavier.
"Master Qian's book......" Many people called out in a loud voice, but everyone in the hall sat very calmly, without the slightest intention of getting up to greet each other. This is due to the fact that the sound comes from outside the hall, which is also an inevitable thing, even if there is a difference between upper and lower seats, but as the host of the banquet, you should make a posture of treating everyone equally. Drink outside first, and you can't leave with alcohol, that's even more rude, and then come in to accompany you, that's reasonable.
Hearing Qian Feng's voice greeting everyone outside, Han Rui smiled heartily, it seems that it is really different, at least in the past, he didn't have this patience, but now he is very familiar, and he doesn't know whether he has progressed or degenerated.
Outside, staggered, laughter, for a while, Qian Feng can't come in, everyone in the hall doesn't care, they take care of each other, toast each other, drink lightly, or ask the Confucianism on the table to teach the classics, or discuss knowledge with friends next to him, but also leisurely, quite comfortable.
Ding ding, the bead curtain is lightly rolled, a delicate maid, coming in a hurry, not stage fright, lips smiled sweetly, walked to the upper seat, elegant as a courtesy, white and tender little hands presented the note, crisp said: "A few gentlemen, guests outside, made a few masterpieces, Lang Jun let me take it in, to a few gentlemen." ”
The meat show came, and in an instant, everyone in the hall was in high spirits, their eyes were burning, they observed each other, and their eyes made contact, as if they had aroused sparks in the sky. Seeing this, Han Rui took the cup, leisurely sipped the long and clear wine, and smiled slowly......
