Chapter 132: Preparing for the Dragon Midnight Banquet
"Don't worry, this time I even got the palace etiquette manual from my father, if you have such a thing to help this time, I think the Dragon Boat Banquet will be a good problem."
I saw Lu Zhuyue commanding a few words to Yahuan beside her, and then Yahuan presented the palace etiquette manual.
What is a court etiquette manual?
It is a manual used in all the sacrificial ceremonies, canonization ceremonies, and solar term banquets in the entire Dayan Palace, and all the female officials in the palace who are responsible for the preparation are based on this as a reference to coordinate every grand banquet.
This manual is something that only exists in the palace forbidden, but now it has appeared in Lu Zhuyue's hands, how can people not be surprised.
The palace etiquette manuals are all to guide the size of the banquet in the palace, and now it is just a Dragon Boat Banquet in a small place in the south of the Yangtze River, how can it not be taken?
Xie Youran saw that Lu Zhuyue actually took out such a manual, his eyes sank, and he immediately said in surprise.
"I didn't expect Zhuyue to have such a good thing, it seems that our ceremony test is bound to be won this time."
She didn't expect Lu Zhuyue to come out with such a valuable thing, Xie Youran also felt that her background was really a little lower than Lu Zhuyue at this moment, her father was just a businessman, and he couldn't help herself in any female official exam, but Lu Zhuyue was different, her father would take over the position of Gusu City Governor of Zhu Governor in the future.
easily got this book that ordinary people can't get, but today Lu Zhuyue took it out and said that she trusted herself, but her goal did not stop at giving female officials, she wanted to be the leader of Jiangnan!
"Zhuyue and Youran are worthy of growing up since childhood, and they are willing to share such things." Sun Xuefei didn't expect Lu Zhuyue to have such a good thing in his hand, and for a while, his deep eyes stared at the manual.
"Now that we have the brochure to help us, why don't we read the brochure and decide what show we should perform at that time."
An Wenhui, who had been sitting next to her for a long time and had not spoken, saw everyone and directly mentioned the day of the performance that day.
Although they have been talking for a long time today, the most important point is that they are not strict, and now after reading the manual, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no new ideas.
"What Wen Hui said is reasonable, then let's take a look first." Lu Zhuyue listened to Wen Hui's words, thought about it for a while, felt that it made some sense, nodded and said to everyone.
Immediately afterwards, everyone began to study this manual of court etiquette, and they didn't know the mystery of this book without reading it.
After reading through the whole text, I realized the mystery of the manual.
"Sure enough, this manual is a good book, but it avoids many of the mistakes we planned before." After Xie Youran read the palace etiquette manual, he pointed out many wrong things in the Dragon Boat Banquet he planned before, and now they are preparing for the Dragon Boat Lunch.
"This time, it must be a few of us who will be the last to enter the capital!" Lu Zhuyue listened to Xie Youran's words, and her heart was full of confidence in the quota of female officials in the Jiangnan region in this female official election.
Several people also nodded one after another, agreeing with Lu Zhuyue's words.
"This time, let's see how Xie Qingyu can get through this hurdle!" Lu Zhuyue looked at Xie Youran at this moment, and remembered the scene of Youruo's tragic death in her heart, although she pretended that nothing happened at the moment.
They have grown up together since childhood, and Youruo often follows Youran, she has long treated Youruo as her own sister, not to mention that Youran is still Youruo's own sister, and her heart must be more painful than herself.
Lu Zhuyue thought like this and remembered Xie Qingyu, who complained to the prefect that day, everything was her fault! If she didn't tell her, Youruo would be happy to accompany them to drink tea and eat snacks in this Qixia Pavilion at this moment.
Xie Youran was happy at the moment, but when he suddenly heard Xie Qingyu's name, his gentle face turned cold in just a moment.
Although the other two didn't know what the grudge between Xie Youran and Xie Qingyu was, they had heard about Xie Youruo's cheating incident that caused a stir in Gusu City a while ago.
Now listening to what Lu Zhuyue said is very indignant, and looking at Xie Youran's coldness, could it be that Xie Youruo's death has something to do with Xie Qingruo?
"Xie Qingyu is the concubine who no one chose that day?" Sun Xuefei asked disdainfully.
"It's her." Lu Zhuyue also recalled the situation that day.
I thought that no one chose Xie Qingyu, Xie Qingyu was directly eliminated, and they did it in the province, but! There is Qin Zixuan's kind of person who is not long-eyed, who is not good to choose Xie Qingyu, that slut!
"I don't think the two of them will be able to make the climate, they are all straw bales." Sun Xuefei saw Lu Zhuyue's disgusted expression, and he expected that he had guessed correctly this time, and now it seems that Xie Youran and Lu Zhuyue hate Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu was just a few bottom-to-last results that day, and Qin Zixuan had never heard of it, what can these two nobodies do together?
"This is not necessarily, Xie Qingyu must be prepared to win the top spot in Jingyi that day, and although Qin Zixuan said that he won the top spot in the second round of the dance art list and made the results rush, these two of them can get a card, and it must not be a simple role."
An Wenhui, who was silent at this time, also came to the conclusion from the observation of all the teams in the city in the past few days, and now she is only the last step, and all the people are giving it a go, and they can't relax at all.
Xie Youran also nodded secretly when she heard this, she was a little worried about Xie Qingru, and the speed of growth of the concubine who was not in her eyes was even more important for her to guard against.
"Zhuyue, if you send someone to keep an eye on them secretly, report any situation immediately."
After thinking clearly, Xie Youran said to Lu Zhuyue, now that they are in Gusu City, it is naturally more convenient for Lu Zhuyue to act.
"Don't worry, this time it will definitely be a defeat for Xie Qingyu!" Lu Zhuyue listened to Xie Youran's words, and understood what Xie Youran meant, Xie Qingyu must lose this time! Qin Zixuan too!
Then Lu Zhuyue followed the maid beside her and whispered a few words, and after finishing speaking, the maid turned around and left Qixia Pavilion directly.
At the moment, inside the examination hall.
——
"Well, what did you come up with?"
Qin Zixuan was bored fiddling with the chess pieces scattered on the table, and casually asked Xie Qingyu.
It's just that Xie Qingyu didn't answer for a while, Qin Zixuan immediately put down the chess pieces in his hand and looked at Xie Qingyu blankly.
At this moment, Xie Qingyu came back from Qingfeng Building just now, and before he could think of it, Qin Zixuan came to the door.
The two of them for a while, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
The atmosphere instantly became a little awkward.
Xie Qingyu didn't speak at the moment because she had been worried about her mother's body last night, and she hadn't thought about the Dragon Midnight Banquet at all, so there was no way to explain to Qin Zixuan, she just held the brush in her hand and was in a daze.
And Qin Zixuan also thought about it at this time, didn't she push her too hard?
After a while, Qin Zixuan finally spoke.
"Since I haven't figured it out yet, then I'll come back tomorrow, but now there is not much time left for us, and your mind should also be put to the test, otherwise you will have to give up all your efforts to take the female officer exam."
Although she is patient to wait for Xie Qingyu now, the time for the test will not stop there and wait for Xie Qingyu to deal with everything before turning, and the current things need Xie Qingyu to figure it out before she can understand.
She believed that Xie Qingyu could come up with a novel method.
"Zixuan, stay."
It's just that at this moment, Xie Qingyu suddenly spoke out and stopped Qin Zixuan's footsteps as she was about to go out.
Zixuan is right, now that there is not much time left before the ritual test, no matter how much I think about it, I still can't get to my mother's side, so I might as well concentrate on completing this ritual test, and I can get the leader of Jiangnan as soon as possible, so that I can win more life for my mother.
That day, Nangong Chengyu also said that the only thing she was waiting for now was to get the position of the leader of Jiangnan, and she could go with herself to get the medicine of the Extreme Cold Ice Lotus to lead Bodhizi, and now that she had obtained so many favorable things, what reason did she have to continue to be depressed.
Thinking like this, Xie Qingyu suddenly crossed a fragment in his mind, and immediately wrote it down.
From the beginning of the ceremony of sacrificing the Dragon Ancestor to the Dragon Boat Banquet in the evening, Xie Qingyu described every fragment very clearly, and she privately thought about the process of the entire Dragon Boat Festival yesterday.
Since Xie Qingyu started writing, Qin Zixuan stood quietly behind Xie Qingyu, and kept observing, but his face became more and more surprised.
I think she has seen a lot over the years, but it was the first time she had heard of such a novel idea of Xie Qingyu, after these days of contact, she thought that Qingyu was quite focused on etiquette, but she really didn't expect that she would put forward such a strange idea today, which shocked her for a while.
However, although these ideas are very rare, if they are really used properly, they can almost be called a trump card in their hands!
Qin Zixuan thought like this, her phoenix eyes turned, and the idea in her mind had already taken shape.
She thought that Xie Qingyu hadn't considered these etiquette things, starting from fasting and bathing, to the clothes in the back, and even to the incense, Xie Qingyu described it in great detail.
It's almost like a court etiquette manual.
However, unlike the etiquette manual, the etiquette of several items in the content written by Xie Qingyu is not perfect enough, and it needs to be more refined, and it would be better to be more clear.
Immediately, the two began to discuss in detail about the sacrifice of the Dragon Ancestor, circled all the mistakes, and then directly revised them.
After the sacrifice, it was the Dragon Boat Festival dinner.
The order during the Dragon Boat Festival dinner is more complicated than the sacrifice.
The dinner begins with the arrangement of the seats, meal preparation, program arrangement, and main layout of the banquet attendees......
After the two discussed the sacrifice, Xie Qingyu put pen to paper to write about the dinner, she had already thought about it, if they wanted to be brilliant this time, they had to work the meal and the program.
Xie Qingyu would have made some pastries, and when the time came, he could even change the meal to pastries.
And the Dragon Boat Festival has always had the custom of eating zongzi, but after Xie Qingyu came to Gusu City, he found that he had begun to sell zongzi in the past few days, but it was a more traditional way to eat, and she still remembered that in modern times, zongzi had already been more than one practice.
The rest is to go to the main field of the show, although she has not coordinated a large banquet, but she has watched a lot of shows, everything in it is complete, and now all that remains is how to integrate these things into the current environment.
When Xie Qingyu chattered endlessly and finished the whole plan, it was already the third watch of the month.
