62 The Deer Banquet (Part II)
The Luming banquet is generally held in the governor's yamen the day after the township test is released, which originally only belonged to the banquet of the relevant personnel of the examination, but now it is held in the yamen of the governor of Yingtian, which is enough to reflect the unusualness of this banquet, Zheng Guang has seen the grandeur of the prefect's yamen and the luxury of Fan Qing's residence, but compared with the governor yamen of the Ming Dynasty, it is obviously a small thing, and these yamen are also relatively special, clearly very expensive, but I don't feel a trace of the breath of the nouveau riche. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
It was an aristocratic vibe.
Zheng Guang and Xiang Qingdu were admitted to the lift, are one of the people who went to the banquet of this Luming banquet, the two sat in a carriage, holding a name post, went to the governor's yamen, along the way, they saw a lot of carriages and ox carts of the same company, obviously the people of the current department, and so on to the governor's yamen, everyone got off one after another, looked at each other, and then politely began to say hello, asked each other for names and rankings, and then began the first round of communication.
They are all new imperial examination people, everyone is also a new generation of pride of the sky, once the examination is lifted, the identity immediately becomes different, the person is already a member of the scholar group, everyone here can be regarded as a reserve official, so Zheng Guang did see a lot of old people with white beards and hair, and some middle-aged people with vicissitudes of life, as well as some high-spirited young people.
Looking around, Zheng Guang probably determined that he and Xiang Qing were the youngest among these people, Xiang Qing was okay, he worked as a farmer all the year round, he was born in a poor family, and his appearance was relatively old, in terms of modernization, that is, the brain was still celebrating the May Fourth Youth Day, and his face had begun to sprint to the Double Ninth Festival, so it was not very eye-catching, but Zheng Guang, with a baby face, white face and beardlessness, looked like a child, but if you look closely, you can see that something is wrong.
Speaking of which, how can an ordinary person stand here and participate in this feast that belongs to the elite of literati? At that moment, someone became interested in Zheng Guang, and a younger-looking black-haired man walked towards Zheng Guang with a smile, saluted, smiled and asked in a low voice: "Under Yuan Hongyu, I wonder if Your Excellency is Zheng Guang Zheng Pingzhi?" ”
Zheng Guang was stunned for a moment, and Xiang Qing beside him was also glaring, Yuan Hongyu? Isn't it the current science solution?
Zheng Guang was very interested in this benevolent brother who defeated himself to become the first place Xie Yuan in the Nanzhili Township Examination, so he hurriedly saluted: "Zheng Guang has seen Brother Nian. ”
Xiang Qing on the side also hurriedly saluted: "Xiang Qing has seen Brother Nian!" ”
Yuan Hongyue politely returned the salute, and then bowed to Zheng Guang again, which made Zheng Guang at a loss, and hurriedly said, "Brother Nian, why is this?" When we met for the first time, we were very scared! ”
Yuan Hongyue got up and said with a smile: "Pingzhi deserves it, it deserves it!" This time the Japanese invaded the city, if it was not for Ping Zhi to come forward, the big break of the Japanese Kou, Suzhou is in danger, Suzhou City is broken, then it is difficult to keep the family safe, Pingzhi this feat, it can be regarded as to ensure the safety of the next family, great kindness, Yuan Hongyue is unforgettable! ”
After that, it was another salute, which attracted the sideways glances of others, and they were a little curious about what these people were doing, but they were talking, so they didn't come up to ask, Zheng Guang hurriedly held Yuan Hongyu's hands, and hurriedly said: "Brother Nian can't be like this, just fighting for Suzhou is really my father's last wish, and it is also what I think and think, but I am willing to keep Suzhou safe and not be harmed by the Japanese invaders, which is the best, and it is also what Guang should do to protect the safety of the villagers." ”
Zheng Guang really didn't expect that Yuan Hongyu was also from Wu County, and he also lived in Suzhou City, and his own battle could be regarded as indirectly protecting Yuan Hongyu's family, no wonder he was so excited when he saw him, and he also gave a big salute, which made Zheng Guang confused for a while, but now he understands.
Yuan Hongyue got up, smiled sincerely, and then, with a hint of guilt, said: "Wu County can produce such a young hero as Pingzhi, it is really a great luck, compared to this, in this district to solve the yuan, you can't share the worries for the king, and you can't keep the safety of your family and villagers, it's useless!" I really don't know what the examiner thinks, why don't you take the flat point as Xie Yuan, in that way, Wen Kuixing and Wu Kuixing will be combined into one, how beautiful! Now, it's ......"
Zheng Guang knows people, especially good at looking at eyes, when telling the truth and telling lies, people's eyes are different, Yuan Hongyue's eyes are clear, without the slightest intention of pretentiously covering up, obviously, it is sincere, at this time, he can actually meet a sincere gentleman, Zheng Guang feels very lucky, and also has the idea of befriending him.
"Brother Nian said this, Brother Nian can get Xie Yuan, and even after the merits of the lower district spread all over Nanjing, it still makes the examiner unswerving, which reflects the fact that Brother Nian's knowledge is far beyond the fact below, how can such a fact be covered up? In the next is just a small amount of work, how can he make the examiner moved, if this makes the original Xie Yuan of the young brother lost, he will apologize in the next. Zheng Guang also sincerely comforted Yuan Hongyu.
Yuan Hongyue had a good impression in his heart, thinking that although this little brother is young, he is first-class in terms of etiquette and knowledge, and it is even more rare to be all-round in civil and military affairs, excellent in martial arts, and will be reused by the court in the future.
This is actually very common, the officialdom is really common, this township test, the first and second are all Wu County people, and they all live in Suzhou City, compared to each other is not far away, such fate, if you don't make friends, it is really a waste, so Yuan Hongyue said: "In the following table words, Chinese New Year's Eve, if the two do not give up, I might as well be commensurate with the table words and become friends, how?" ”
Yuan Hongyue did not fall to Xiang Qing, it seems to be a thorough manner, it should also be from an official family or a scholar's family, Zheng Guang also feels that this time is really fateful, the three people here are all from Wu County, and they are the first and the second, such a fate, if you don't make friends, you will regret it in the future.
So Zheng Guang smiled and said, "That's very good! Very good! Brother Zhi, this is Xiang Qing, the word is far away, like me, he is also from Wu County, and the thirty-seventh in this time is my friend. ”
Yuan Hongyu smiled and saluted: "Ziyuan's thirty-seventh place in the examination is also very difficult, such a ranking, participating in the examination, you can also achieve good results, this time, I hope to learn from the two in the examination room." ”
Zheng Guang looked at Xiang Qing's somewhat reluctant smile, and then said, "Ziyuan won't participate in next year's examination." ”
Yuan Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why is this?" The ranking of thirty-seven is already very high, and if you can achieve such a result in Nanzhili, why not give it a try? ”
Zheng Guang sighed and said in a low voice: "This time the Japanese rebellion, Ziyuan's parents and family have been killed, there is only one young sister left in the family, the first scourge of the Japanese is the village where Ziyuan lives, if it weren't for Ziyuan desperately rushing back to Suzhou to report the news, so that Suzhou can be prepared, this time it is really hard to say." ”
Xiang Qing pursed his lips, and finally spoke: "My parents are in trouble, I am uneasy, I will definitely fail to participate in the examination like this, and besides, keeping filial piety for my parents for three years is the obligation of a child, so I am determined to keep filial piety for my parents for three years, and after three years, I will try again." ”
Yuan Hongyu looked regretful and sympathetic, and said: "I really can't imagine that this kind of thing will happen." Then, Yuan Hongyue changed his words, and his face showed an extremely indignant look: "The Japanese are really too arrogant! Dare to treat the Ming army as if it were nothing, and attack Suzhou! It's hateful! If it weren't for Pingzhi standing up this time and resisting the Japanese invaders, I don't know what Suzhou would become! Thinking that my Ming army is several times larger than the Japanese invaders, but it has been defeated repeatedly, it is really a shame for the men of my generation! ”
Saying that, Yuan Hongyu moved his gaze to Zheng Guang again: "Fortunately, Suzhou has Pingzhi, breaking the Japanese Invaders, and becoming the reputation of Suzhou Writers, Pingzhi, Ziyuan, I might as well agree, I will be an official in the future, I will be an official in the southeast, and I will be an official in the most violent place of the Japanese Plague, I must pacify the Japanese Invaders, and avenge the fathers and villagers!" ”
For a while, Zheng Guang and Xiang Qing were infected by Yuan Hongyu, and involuntarily stretched out their hands and shook them together, Yuan Hongyue showed an excited smile, and the smile was extremely pure.
How difficult it is for such a family, such an exam, such a system, and such a person to appear......
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild artemisia. I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao. If the people are not ashamed, the gentleman is effective. I have a purpose to drink, and the guest style Yan Yiao.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild Qin. I have guests, drums and pianos. The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious. I have a purpose to drink, with the heart of Yanle guests.
With a beautiful vision for the future, the three newly acquainted people entered the governor's yamen together, handed over the name card in the envious and jealous eyes of the guards guarding the door, and walked into the governor's yamen with their heads held high, enjoying the wonderful moment of the ten years of hard work in the cold window, this is what they deserve, here, how they are bohemian, no one will go on the line, suppressed for too long, release, it should be, everyone is like this all the way, everyone understands the truth here.
Yuan Hongyu and Zheng Guang did not arouse everyone's onlookers, after all, everyone knows the name, but they don't know what the person looks like, although some people suspect these two, and they also suspect that the young age is Zheng Guang, a Suzhou writer who has been in the limelight recently, but people are still talking, and it is not easy to come forward to ask, everyone is also a person, and their identities are equal, if you want to show the ignorance of those ordinary people, it is really a loss of identity.
The style of the governor's yamen, everyone has seen it, and when they arrived in the formal banquet hall, it was called a real eye-opener, and when they arrived here, Zheng Guang initially came into contact with the luxurious life of the drunken and dreamy deaths of the southeastern scholars.
