63. The Deer Feast (II)
The deer banquet has continued from the Tang Dynasty to the present, although it has changed greatly from the form and purpose, but its fundamental meaning will not change, it belongs to the grand gathering of literati, the status of the literati is high, the significance of the deer banquet is great, the status of the literati is low, the significance of the deer banquet is not big, but since the Tang Dynasty, the status of the literati has been improving, and the status of the military has been declining, so the significance of the deer banquet is beyond doubt.

There are also some processes for the banquet, such as the new imperial examination at the beginning to meet the master of the house, that is, the examiner who selected the person to raise the paper, those who were selected to meet symbolically, express their gratitude, and form the first personal relationship, if they can be admitted to the jinshi to enter the officialdom, this is useful.
Later, at the banquet, in addition to the usual feasting and drinking and chanting of poetry, the tenor Xie Yuan sang a poem "Deer Song", the top five Wujing Kui gathered together and danced the Kui Star Dance, in order to praise the talents, celebrate the imperial examination, and wish the children to achieve better results in the future examination and the palace examination, and then embark on the peak of life, of course, after the development, can not forget the grace of today's point!
Zheng Guang once speculated with some bad taste, what if that Xie Yuan was a sound idiot with incomplete tones? All the scholars in the audience have to be patient to hear the sound of incomplete tones? Isn't that torture? But now that he has met Jinke Xie Yuan, who is going to sing a song later, Zheng Guang feels that the building near the water has the moon first, so he just asked: "Brother Zhi, later, according to the convention, you want to sing a deer song alone, right?" ”
Yuan Hongyu smiled and nodded: "Exactly." ”
The atmosphere in the governor's yamen was lively, and Zheng Guang was also a little infected, so he asked with some ridiculous thoughts: "No offense, it's just that I don't know if my brother has some attainments in music?" If you don't know much, you may find some cotton cloth to plug your ears later. ”
Yuan Hongyue was stunned for a moment, and then understood Zheng Guang's thoughts, his feelings were worried that his five tones were incomplete, for fear of being frightened by his moving singing voice, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "You, you, you are the second in the house, and you are actually in this kind of thing...... Ah! You can relax, this deer poem has been familiar to my brother since he was a child, and after winning the first place, there are special people who come to tell my brother how to sing, so it's okay, right? ”
Zheng Guang was a little curious: "That's it?" Alas, I've heard that the top five leaders also dance the Kui Xing Dance together at the banquet, but I can't dance, so how is that good? ”
Yuan Hongyu was taken aback, looked at Zheng Guang with very strange eyes, and asked Xiang Qing at once: "Senior brother, when you were a child in the school, didn't Mr. teach?" Didn't you dance the Kuixing Dance with your classmates? Our Ming scholars basically know how to dance the Kui Xing Dance! ”
Zheng Guang blinked, then realized something, and looked at his head: "Oops! I haven't been in school since I was a child, and I was taught by my father before, and then by my teacher...... I thought someone was going to teach me how to do the Kuixing Dance! ”
Yuan Hongyu and Xiang Qing glanced at each other, and suddenly felt depressed, in addition to being able to write and martial arts, can Zheng Guang be stupid? This kind of thing is only being asked now? When you come on stage later, and dance the Kui Xing Dance in front of everyone, don't you want to lose your face in front of the big people in the entire Nan Zhili?
Yuan Hongyue and Xiang Qing felt that things were a little troublesome, Yuan Hongyue looked at the sky, looked at the crowd, and said happily: "Let's just come early, now the big guys are going to meet the master of the house, it doesn't matter if we go later, come and come, Ziyuan, find a secluded place, first teach Pingzhi how to dance the Kui Xing Dance, if you go on stage, don't let everyone laugh down, how is this good?" The dignified Suzhou writer can't even dance the Kui Xing Dance?! ”
Xiang Qing nodded immediately, so the three of them went to the secluded place together, and after about half an hour of intensive training, Zheng Guang stumbled and learned the Kuixing Dance, and was impressed by this magical dance step.
The next thing is to rush to see the house master, and then don't go, it's a bit rude, Zheng Guang's house master surname is Sun, the name of the house master is not written on the name card, a little strange, the three of them went separately to find the house master, and the result went around a circle, outside the door of the house master, Zheng Guang saw Yuan Hongyu who happened to come from another road, Yuan Hongyue also felt strange when he saw Zheng Guang, the two stared at each other, and raised the name post, sure enough, Yuan Hongyu's name post did not write the name of the house master.
The two felt a little surprised, Yuan Hongyue carefully knocked on the door, and heard a sound of "come in", just pushed open the door, and walked in with Zheng Guang, and saw a middle-aged official in a red official uniform sitting on the top, looking at the two with a slight smile, the two looked at each other, and bowed together: "Students meet the teacher!" ”
The Fang Shi surnamed Sun smiled and said slowly: "There are not many people in the official point, but the first and second are from the official's subordinates, and the official also feels honored, Yuan Yuzhi, Zheng Pingzhi, actually took it all from the hands of the official, not long ago, all the people in the official point came to thank you, but the two of you didn't come, the official thought that he was surrounded by too many people, busy communicating, it's too late, isn't it?" ”
Listening to the words that seemed to be uncaring, but in fact dissatisfied, Zheng Guang was a little apprehensive in his heart, he didn't know what this Sun Fangshi meant, after thinking about it, Zheng Guang still decided to tell the truth: "The teacher atoned for his sins, in fact, it wasn't that we were surrounded by others, a little bit of a thin name, and others didn't know our appearance, how could I be surrounded, it's just that the students can't dance the Kui Xing Dance, Senior Brother Yuan kindly taught the students to dance the Kui Xing Dance, which is a little slower, and I ask the teacher to forgive me." ”
Yuan Hongyu also said at this time: "Please forgive the teacher." ”
Sun Ma never thought that the two of them were late for this reason, he really thought that Suzhou Writers and Xinke Xie Yuan were surrounded and flattered by too many people, and they were a little fluttering, so they forgot what they should do the most, and let themselves wait for a while, and they were really a little angry in their hearts, but when they said this, they couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "Zheng Guang, Zheng Pingzhi, the famous Suzhou Writers, can't even dance the Kui Xing Dance?" Do you still want someone to teach on site? Hahahaha! If this gets out, it's probably a good story, right? Hahaha! ”
Hearing the laughter, Zheng Guangcai relieved his heart, knowing that Sun Fangshi didn't care about this matter, and this level was passed, the two slowly straightened their waists, still bowing their heads, showing respect.
Sun Ma laughed almost enough, then put his eyes on the two of them, and saw that the two of them were respectful and satisfied, and the trace of unhappiness disappeared, so he said: "You have also seen this post, are you surprised that there is only the surname of the teacher and no name on the name post?" ”
Zheng Guang and Yuan Hongyu glanced at each other and nodded together: "Please teach the teacher." ”
Sun Majesty nodded, and said warmly: "This name is only available to the two of you, and the reason why the teacher only gives you two such a name post is also for some special reasons, so let's get to know each other first, the teacher's surname is Sun, his name is Majesty, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and now lives in Nanzhili, and is also the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination. ”
Yuan Hongyue's surprise was not mentioned, but Zheng Guang was shocked in his heart, remembering the extra words of the annunciation yesterday, he raised his head to look at the Nanzhili Xuezheng, as well as the chief examiner of the exam, a series of questions came to mind, and Yuan Hongyue's simple surprise was different, Zheng Guang studied under Tang Shunzhi, often heard some officialdom insiders, and had some special understanding of the Ming officialdom.
This Sun Tixue is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and a local bureaucrat in the southeast, so does he know the inside story of the southeastern Japanese invaders, is he an informed faction, an uninformed faction, a behind-the-scenes faction, or a staunch anti-Japanese faction? Zheng Guang didn't dare to imagine, and he didn't dare to make any other ideas at the moment, so he could only continue to listen.
"I won't hide it from you, the examination papers of the two of you are all for the teacher, but because the literary style is comparable, when the news of the victory in Suzhou came, the examiners had already set all the remaining rankings, but they couldn't decide on one, two, two, two, five marking officers, two supported Pingzhi, two supported or not, and they couldn't argue with each other." Speaking of this, Sun Majesty paused, looked at Zheng Guang and Yuan Hongyu's expressions, and pursed his lips.
Seeing that Zheng Guang and Yuan Hongyu also understood something, Sun Majesty nodded and said: "You guessed well, the final decision is in the hands of the teacher, in fact, the teacher also found it difficult to choose at the beginning, because your articles are comparable in terms of writing, font and format and the elaboration of the sages' thoughts.
And Ping is young, the first time to participate in the imperial examination even passed the children's examination, to obtain a small three yuan, it is not easy, for the teacher will have the heart of the gentleman adult beauty, will add three yuan to another yuan, at this time, the news of the victory in Suzhou came, for the teacher was to learn about the victory in Suzhou only after knowing that Suzhou was attacked by the Japanese invaders, and was immediately frightened, and learned that the great hero of the victory in Suzhou was the teacher to prepare the new science solution yuan, for the teacher was a little hesitant.
In the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful killing weapon is not a sword, a sword, a halberd, nor an artillery musket, but a person's mouth, the world's leisurely mouth is an invisible weapon to kill people, anyone, once there is a moral flaw, in the ethics of losing a foothold, it is difficult to stand in the Shilin, Pingzhi has just won the news of the victory in Suzhou has come, but where the night day, after the township test list, the teacher will not hesitate too much, but it is the day before the list.
Pingzhi, you have to understand, if at this time, the teacher takes you as Xie Yuan, will there be a thief who is jealous of your great achievements at a young age to maliciously slander, and maliciously collude with Nanzhili Xuezheng as a disciple of Tang Jingchuan, at that time, even if this matter is nothing, you will be very troublesome, and it is Xie Yuan, and it is the first merit of the southeast anti-Japanese war since Jiajing, you must know that Mu Xiu is in the forest! You are still young, there are still many opportunities, put you in the second, there will be people who feel regret, feel why you are not Xie Yuan, in this way, more people sympathize, there will be no malicious slander.
As for it, you also have to understand that with your level, of course, you can get the ranking of Xie Yuan, but, as your father and your ancestors said, your biggest shortcoming is that you are easy to get carried away. This time, the reason why the teacher called you over is to warn you not to think that you are really a new science and technology solution, so you get carried away again, and don't work hard to prepare for the exam, but play around!
You are all the heroes of Nanzhili, for the teacher as Nanzhili to study, naturally I hope you will go to the next level, but limited to identity, you can only do so much as a teacher, in the future, how you do it, how to go, can only depend on yourself. ”
