Chapter Seventy-One: The Deer Feast

The Luming banquet has two meanings, one is to congratulate the candidates of the high school people, and the other is to thank the teacher, the number of participants is large, and the new imperial examination people, the inner curtain officer, and the outer curtain official are the most important guests.

The Luming banquet was held on the second day of the list, and there were many procedures, but due to financial reasons, there was a lack of money, which has been simplified a lot, of course, the basic procedures still have to go.

Early in the morning, Su Tiancheng came to Taiyuan Mansion.

Before the Luming banquet began, Su Tiancheng wanted to meet the chief examiners Xu Eryi and Fu Youliang, and they met alone, he was the township test Xie Yuan. The rest of the lifters do not have such treatment.

Su Tiancheng also decided to seize such an opportunity, no matter what, Master Xie must have an attitude.

At the door of the Taiyuan Mansion, there was already a clerk waiting for the courtier.

Su Tiancheng is Xie Yuan, and soon someone took him into the mansion, and the Lu Ming banquet was arranged in the back garden behind the mansion.

Of course, Su Tiancheng first had to visit Xu Eryi and Fu Youliang.

Both of them were in Santang, chatting with the prefect.

Entering the house, Su Tiancheng soon saw three people in official robes, one was wearing a scarlet robe, the complement and the embroidery were Yunyan and the tiger and leopard, this is the official uniform of the four-grade official, this person must be the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, one person was wearing a green robe, the complement and the embroidery pattern was Lu and Biao, this is the official uniform of the sixth grade, this person must be the chief examiner, the director of the Ministry of Industry Xu Eryi, and the other person is also a green robe, the complement and the embroidery are the emu and Biao, this is the official uniform of the seventh grade, this person must be the engineering department to Fu Youliang in the matter.

These three people are not young, the prefect's beard is a little white, chubby, Xu Eryi looks very thin, his eyes are bright, as for Fu Youliang, he always scrutinizes his eyes, probably because he is specifically picking thorns and finding faults on weekdays.

Su Tiancheng did not hesitate and bowed to the three of them.

"Student Su Tiancheng visited his teacher and met the prefect."

"Excuse me, Xie Yuanlang of Xinke, he is very young."

Watching Su Tiancheng salute, Xu Er opened his mouth to speak, stood up, and walked to Su Tiancheng's side.

Since then, he has been Su Tiancheng's mentor.

"Kun Yuan, congratulations, the first-hand article is majestic, Master Fu and I are very surprised."

At this time, the prefect and Fu Youliang had already stood up, and after a few polite words, they left.

Su Tiancheng took out a small brocade box from his arms, held it with both hands, and handed it to Xu Eryi.

This kind of gift-giving, which is very different from the later gift-giving, actually means apprenticeship.

"The teacher has the grace of reinvention for Kun Yuan, which is a piece of the student's heart, and I hope that the teacher will accept it with a smile."

Xu Eryi took it with a smile and put it on the table, the student must have a meeting gift when he meets his teacher, otherwise he doesn't understand the rules, this kind of gift, Xu Eryi will not refuse.

"Kun Yuan, you are the new branch Xie Yuan, the official is going to say a few more words, the examination to be held in the capital in February next year, you have to do your best, with your literary talent, there will be no problem, but you can't be careless, the official is still waiting for you to try to make a name for yourself."

"Kun Yuan remembers the teachings of his teacher."

"Well, if you want to say that this is a study, you are indeed good, but next, you are about to enter the imperial court, although you are young, you have a lot of understanding, this is what this official reads your article and perceives, do you have some unusual feelings."

Su Tiancheng didn't dare to answer easily, there is a lot of knowledge in officialdom, he has not yet entered the officialdom, even if he was a civil servant before, but he has no personal experience of the officialdom of Daming, and if he does not grasp the situation, he can't easily open his mouth to promise.

Xu Eryi's understanding is a bit rigid, and he needs to pay special attention to talking to such an official, because if he is careless, he says the wrong thing, leaving a bad impression, which is very unfavorable to future development.

But if you don't say some opinions and insights, it will definitely not work, and Xu Eryi will definitely want to take the test for himself.

Seeing Su Tiancheng's attitude, Xu Er nodded with satisfaction.

"Kun Yuan, you are very cautious, but the township test has ended, you are already Xie Yuan, the official will ask you a question, if you take the palace examination for high school and the court has awarded the official, what ambitions do you have."

Kun Yuan muttered in his heart, your question is too big, if I talk empty words and official words, it seems that there is no level, if I tell the truth, I will probably scare you to death.

"Teacher, the students have not thought of these for the time being, and they will go to the capital next year to participate in the examination, and the students can only continue to work hard to live up to the expectations of the teacher."

"Ha Luha, you are very humble and very good at talking, so fooling the teacher, that is unreasonable, this question, you must answer."

"If a student is so abrupt, if he enters the imperial court, he must be loyal to the royal family, honor his parents, and let his family live a good life."

Xu Er's eyes widened, what does this mean, taking the imperial examination, changing his identity, and being able to make his family live a good life, this is also said in the past, but it is too uncultivated to say it so blatantly.

He was faintly unhappy.

"Can Kun Yuan explain in detail, what does it mean for the family to live a good life?"

"Kun Yuan thinks, home and everything is prosperous, my Ming is composed of thousands of families, as the saying goes, a house is not swept, how to sweep the world, if you can't make the family harmonious, let alone serve the emperor, that's a joke, as a court official, the first thing that comes to mind is to stabilize the family, and then it is possible to concentrate on acting government affairs, not only court officials, the people of the world, if they can think of building a good family, my Ming must be the country and the people, vigorous development."

Xu Er was stunned for a moment, and after a little reminiscence, he felt that it made sense.

"Hehe, Xie Yuan's understanding, in the end, is different, the official almost didn't understand, well said, manage the family, build a good family, everyone thinks and does this, and it will be able to ensure the peace of the world."

After all, Xu Eryi was different, and quickly changed his understanding.

"However, this official still thinks that this kind of understanding is a bit wishful thinking, there are no surprises in the world, even the people and chaotic people, who exist all the time, still need to be restrained."

Xu Eryi said it very politely.

Of course Su Tiancheng understood.

"What the teacher said is that the students remember, the students think that the righteous people come before themselves, with a fair and compassionate heart, regard the people as their parents, do not fear the powerful, do not chase fame and fortune, do not superstitious authority, be upright, observe the people's livelihood, be in the court, do their duty, always have a sense of awe, serve the emperor, benefit the people, be in the countryside, abide by the law, and be an example for the neighborhood, this is what a scholar should do."

After these words were said, Xu Er was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked directly in front of Su Tiancheng.

"Kun Yuan, I didn't expect you to have such an understanding, the official is very pleased, you are a township trying to solve the yuan, and you live up to your name."

"Students don't dare, they must follow the example of their teachers in the future and learn from them."

"Hehe, if you say so, the official doesn't dare to be it, okay, today's deer ming banquet, you have to recite the deer song with the official, but you have to muster up your spirits."

After Su Tiancheng left, Xu Er opened the brocade box and saw a string of pearls inside, he was a little surprised, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Su Tiancheng immediately went to the side room and visited Fu Youliang.

Fu Youliang didn't say much, just a few words, Su Tiancheng was also very cautious, trying to talk as little as possible, the Ming Dynasty was not easy to mess with, people can hear about it, if he said something wrong, he was impeached by Fu Youliang before he had time to participate in the exam, it was not cost-effective.

When I came to the back garden, everything was ready, among the flowers and plants, there was a table of wine banquets, and there were already a lot of new imperial examination people who came here to wait.

Everyone had smiles on their faces, revealing joy.

The Luming banquet soon began, and the person who presided over the Luming banquet was of course the governor, and the officials who commanded the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, the Yamen of the Envoy Division, and the officials who commanded the Yamen of the Fourth Rank and above gathered together.

To say that the rank of Xu Eryi and Fu Youliang is not high, or even very low, but the two of them represent the imperial court, and it seems that they support the township test in Shanxi, in fact, they are patrolling the imperial history, so they are the most dazzling guests of the Luming banquet.

The climax of the deer ming banquet lies in the deer song in the middle of Xu Eryi, Fu Youliang and Su Tiancheng's recitation of the Book of Poetry, and in the process of recitation, there is also a special band soundtrack, everyone raises their wine glasses and drinks the wine in the glass, and the atmosphere reaches its peak.

Of course, there are also happy women singing and dancing.

Under normal circumstances, the wives and daughters of the prisoners are assigned to the Department of Education and enter the music register, and the quality of these women is very high, but unfortunately the fate is tragic.

Su Tian thought that Lu Mingyan must be drinking desperately, and it was estimated that the situation was similar to that after a few hundred years, but he found that he was wrong, drinking was to drink, but everyone did not show a profligate posture, they were all polite, and the drinking seemed to be very gentle, and no one was drunk.

There's a reason for that.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the identity of the people has not been paid enough attention, and the Jinshi is considered to be truly prominent, and all the new imperial examination people, after returning home, still have to review their homework and prepare for the examination in February of the next year.

After the Luming banquet ended, Su Tiancheng was still adjusting his mood, and the township tried to solve the yuan, which is indeed worth celebrating, it was a great success, but after seeing Xu Eryi, he really felt that he was integrated into the Ming Dynasty, if the development went smoothly and he entered the imperial court as an official, he would see more celebrities in history.

This feeling is amazing, I used to see these celebrities in books, and in the future, I may have to meet these people face to face, and even rewrite the fate of many people, which is worth looking forward to.
