Chapter 59: The Faces of All Beings at the Banquet
(Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!) )
The adjacent table was really gossip, and after talking about Wu Shilang's recent news, he talked about the marriage contract of the Lu and Liu families. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xie Shen didn't think it was strange about this, after all, for wealthy families like the Lu family and the Liu family, marriage is the best way to maintain the competitiveness of officialdom. In comparison, the happiness of children is not worth mentioning at all. In the opinion of Governor Liu and Deputy Envoy Lu Zhaocha, marriage should obey the orders of their parents, and the words of the matchmaker, where is the reason for the younger generation to put their beaks.
"Yuyao has been a talented man since ancient times, and the eldest son of Lu has earned enough face for Yuyao's students this time!"
"Who said no, Shaoxing's talents are gathered in Yuyao. You see that among the Shaoxing students on the gold list this year, Yuyao accounts for four, a full half. I heard that among the students who participated in the government examination this time, there was also a Yuyao native named Xie Shen, and his county examination was the head of the case, and the government examination was overwhelming all students, and it only took one hour to complete three exams. Tsk, I heard that this son has just turned thirteen, and he can be regarded as a prodigy. Yu Yao's literary talent is really enviable. ”
"Xie Shen, but that Xie Shen who made 'Weeping Poplars and Weeping Willows Guan Fang Nian, Flying Floocculent Flowers and Charming Distant Heaven'? I heard that this son had a conversation with Governor Liu and Governor Yao in the Zhuangyuanju, so he should have been appointed as the head of the government trial, right? ”
"It's him, the last time I went to the champion house to eat and drink, I heard the shopkeeper mention it, and the store felt that this poem was a stroke of genius so he found someone to engrave it on the pillar of the window private room on the second floor, for the wine customers to admire."
When Xie Shen heard this, he almost squirted out a sip of wine.
The shopkeeper of this champion house is really an authentic businessman, and he actually engraved the song "Yongliu" he composed on the pillar. The copyright awareness of the ancients is really weak, if Xie Shen goes to the shopkeeper of the champion residence to ask for copyright fees at this moment, I don't know if the shopkeeper will admit it.
There are many literati in Jiangnan, and the atmosphere of touting each other is also very popular. There are many famous people who are famous all over the world. In the Ming Dynasty, where information was not developed, this method was obviously the best way to gain prestige. Xie Shen sighed to himself in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he would accidentally become a prodigy in the mouths of Shaoxing scholars and official gentry......
In fact, in the strict sense of the word, the age of thirteen can no longer be regarded as a prodigy, but it is understandable that literati can boast about it.
Wang Shouwen was eating by himself, and when he heard these officials talking about Xie Shen, he came closer.
"Brother Shenxian, do you want to come out and show them your hands? Anyway, your reputation as a prodigy is already solid, so it doesn't matter if you are high-profile. ”
Wang Shouwen wiped the oil stains on the corner of his mouth with a towel, and looked at Xie Shen with a smile, completely in a posture of fearing that the world would not be chaotic......
"Ahem, you can't be low-key when it's time to be high-profile. But it's better to keep a low profile when it's time to keep it low. ”
Xie Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head, just now these people have already mentioned that he was feasting and drinking with Governor Liu and Governor Yao's Mansion in the Zhuangyuan Residence, and they should be sure that the first person in this government examination case was determined by the two adults Liu and Yao. Although Xie Shen has no shame in his heart, his words are terrifying, if he stands up and steals the limelight without a head at this time, it is really looking for death.
At this moment, a public servant of the yamen trotted into the flower hall, panting and saying loudly: "Good news, good news......
The guests were pushing their own cups to change their lamps, but they frowned when they saw a soap in a cloth shirt stumbling in.
It's just a test of the ear, even if it's on the list, it's nothing, as for being so excited? Or is this tolerance thinking that the good news can be exchanged for some reward, so he is so attentive?
Vulgar, too vulgar.
But the prince didn't know what the officials and gentry were thinking, and he looked for it in the crowd: "Which one here is Xie Shen Xie Gongzi from Yuyao County, and the governor personally ordered Xie Gongzi to be the head of the Shaoxing Mansion trial case!" ”
As soon as he said this, the originally relatively quiet banquet exploded for a while.
The first copy of the government test case is nothing, but this Xie Shen, who won the head of the government test case, is too famous.
It is rumored that this son is quick in thinking, full of poetry and books, and won the first place in the county examination at a young age. What's even more surprising is that this son was given a song "Yongliu" in the champion center, which won the appreciation of the two adults who were also at the banquet in the restaurant, Governor Liu and Governor Yao. Such a person can't be described by a prodigy, if you have to use one word to describe it, I'm afraid you can only use a demon!
"Ahem, it's Yuyao Xie Shen, thank you for the good news."
Xie Shen coughed lightly, put down the wine glass and got up and walked towards Soap Li.
The eyes of all the guests turned to Xie Shen in unison, and this feeling of attention made Xie Shen a little dizzy.
Alas, this is really famous!
Xie Shen, a prodigy who is famous in Shaoxing, was in the middle of the banquet, which the guests did not expect.
Xie Shen was also a little helpless, when would the official of the good news come, it was not good, but it was just in time for the Lu family to set up a banquet.
It's not that Xie Shen doesn't want to be famous, it's just that this way of becoming famous is really a little unreasonable.
After all, the Ying family set up a banquet to celebrate the success of the eldest prince of Lu, and the reason why the names of Xie Shen and others were added to the list of guests to the banquet was to give the Wang family a face. Since it is a guest, it is natural to have the consciousness of a guest, and must not steal the limelight of the main house.
But this official reported good news, and Xie Shen couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.
"It turns out that Gongzi Xie is sitting next to us, and he is disrespectful."
"Xie Gongzi's "Yongliu" can be described as a masterpiece, I don't know if there is a sequel?"
"Gongzi Xie has excellent talent, and he deserves to win the first place in the government examination."
"Even Governor Yao and Governor Liu praised Gongzi Xie, and it seems that the head of the court examination this time is also in Gongzi Xie's pocket."
"The great master cherishes talents the most, maybe Gongzi Xie will be directly ordered as a member of the Diet."
The surrounding officials and gentry cast approving glances at Xie Shen, and the boastful words were like waves of water, endless......
"Thank you, thank you."
Xie Shen bowed his hand to the guests, and then took out a tael of silver from the money bag and stuffed it into the hand of the official who announced the good news.
"I wonder when the governor and the mansion will summon you?"
When the official got the reward, he naturally blossomed in his heart, and said with a smile: "The governor will leave Shaoxing early tomorrow morning and return to Hangzhou Mansion." The prefect is going to send him off, so he will summon the students who have been on the list of the government examination the day after tomorrow. Mr. Xie only needs to go to school early tomorrow morning. ”
Xie Shen's heart sank, this Governor Liu came and went in a hurry, and he returned to Hangzhou just after the government test. It seems that there should be some important matters in Hangzhou waiting for Governor Liu to deal with.
"Thank you."
Xie Shen naturally didn't want to offend such a soap, so he thanked him a little.
