Chapter 23: Going to the Feast

Wang Fu said: "I know that Brother Wang's literary talents are brilliant, and a song "Song of Righteousness" shows Brother Wang's literary talents, but the origin of this surname Mao is not simple, his father is the imperial doctor in the palace. I'm afraid that he will play yin, and the adults of the school will favor him. ”

Although the official position of the imperial doctor is not obvious, it is an important position that can contact high-ranking officials and nobles. What's more, this is a person who doesn't get sick, I'm afraid no one wouldn't want to befriend the imperial doctor, after all, they can be regarded as the best doctors in the world.

Ning Caichen was not afraid, and said with a smile: "He is strong, he is strong, and the breeze blows on the hills." He is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river. I have a plan in my heart. ”

As he was talking, a servant of Li came and said that he was inviting Ning Caichen to participate in the Confucian banquet.

The Confucian feast was not held in the city, but outside the city.

In the past, Ning Caichen didn't know how big the face of an imperial doctor was, but when he arrived at the ground, he realized that he really couldn't underestimate this ancient doctor.

Not only did the scholars from Hangzhou City come, but even people from neighboring counties came.

A little counting, there are no less than 300 people, some of them are old and some are young, the big ones have gray hair, and the younger ones are only twelve or thirteen years old. The identities of these people are also different, there are children, there are talents, there are squires, and even a few children.

In addition to the scholars in the county, even the government of the city also sent people to participate in this Confucian banquet.

All sorts of chariots and horses were discharged out of two miles.

An imperial doctor is not inferior to the feudal officials.

This is the horse herding mountain, the mountains and rivers are connected, and it is a rare place to raise horses and horses in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it is called a mountain, it is a small hill that stretches for more than ten miles, and it is raising horses.

It's just that the Song Dynasty horse politics fell into disuse, and there were few horses raised in this horse breeding land in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are no grains planted in the manor, but mostly fruit trees such as peaches, plums, apricots, and various flowers such as chrysanthemums and peonies.

Surrounded by clear water outside the manor, if it is in the spring when the flowers bloom, the water town and lakes are dotted, the herons fly back, and the sand gulls dance, and the end is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even under the snow, it is not bad. Fishing alone in the cold river and snow.

The strange man will later build the capital here in the Southern Song Dynasty.

But now, some people say that this is the manor of Prime Minister Cai Jing. As for yes and no, it's not up to the people below to know.

It's just that it is less than 20 miles away from Hangzhou City, and it takes half an hour to arrive by boat, and there is a wide official road under the mountain. To be able to build a house in such a feng shui treasure, the main family must be both rich and expensive. After all, this land is no longer something that can be bought with money.

I don't know how much it cost to borrow this mansion.

But no matter how loud he tried, it didn't work. Ning Caichen has already made up his mind, after entering, I will drink the wine and listen to the music, and I will not care about the rest. I have no choice but to be taken by others. You can't just because I don't open my mouth to say that I have lost my reputation!

This is the first time that Ning Caichen has participated in such a large-scale gathering in ancient times, coupled with the extremely beautiful scenery here, he is determined that "Xu Shu entered Cao Ying, without saying a word", he naturally did not rush in, and sat in the pavilion to watch this beautiful scenery.

At this moment, a burst of laughter came from the trees below the gazebo, and when I looked down, there were two young scholars of sixteen or seventeen years old.

These two are Ning Caichen's classmates, one surnamed Huang and the other surnamed Wang. However, apart from this surname, he didn't know the names and characters of these two people, which shows Ning Caichen's failure as a man.

will remember the last name of the two, also because the two often laugh at him.

"Brother Wang, I didn't choose the son of today's Wenhui. This autumn harvest is about to suddenly turn snowy, and your preparation will be in vain. ”

The scholar surnamed Wang smiled and said, "Today, you and I are not the protagonists. Mao Gongzi can go out and defeat this surnamed Ning. You know that although this surnamed Ning has some talent, he is extremely slow to make poems, and it takes a few minutes to type. It snowed heavily, but it helped Mao Gongzi a lot. ”

"Hehe, it makes sense. You said that this surnamed Ning is not obvious in his peace, how did he get these two tanhua, will it be ......" The scholar surnamed Huang made a gesture of copying with understanding.

While the two were talking, they entered the pavilion and saw Ning Caichen sitting inside.

The scholar surnamed Huang saw that what he said was heard by Ning Caichen, and his body trembled in fright.

The scholar surnamed Wang glanced at Ning Caichen and smiled at the scholar surnamed Huang: "He is weak! In the past, you and I didn't laugh at him, and he resisted again. It's just that...... Snort, I didn't expect that this is not yet winter, this pavilion will be unbearable, biting cold, you and I go in quickly, and warm up with charcoal. ”

Huang and Wang, the pronunciation is similar, and when southerners speak, they are even more indistinguishable from Huang Wang.

With two villains who are not even "yellow" and "king", Ning Caichen is not so boring.

No, not only villains, but also idiots. I have a jewel to protect my body, so I can blow this cold wind in this high pavilion. You two are powerless, and the weak scholar with a crippled heart and weak body dares to try this cold wind? Not an idiot, what is it?

"Brother Ning, why are you here? I've already added my name and last name. When they went, Wang Fu came to find them.

"What do you do by name?"

Wang Fu said: "I heard that this time the adults of the academy came, not only invited by Mao Shixue, but also came to inspect the school. Compare with our scholars, and invite them to study in the house. ”

Only then did Ning Caichen understand that it was no wonder that these scholars were all gearing up, preparing early, and having a great way to show their skills, it turned out that there was still this reason in it.

If this prefectural school is a national university, then this prefecture is the focus of a national university. Just look at the fact that modern people do not hesitate to continue tutoring in this key school, and you can understand the ancient people's gearing up.

However, Ning Caichen still looked light-hearted, he had already made up his mind, this time he was here to make soy sauce, only his stomach was brought, and nothing else was brought. After all, he has only been studying for a few days, and it is better to hide it from the world than to get an axe. Anyway, my fame is already in hand, as long as I don't do anything that angers people and resents people, the local government has no right to get rid of it.

For him, the most important thing at the moment is to become a veritable reader first. Before he completed this transformation, he was the one who made soy sauce.

Low-key is the king, and if you go to the bottom, the gains outweigh the losses.

"Brother Ning, it's so cold here, let's go in!" "It's not cold when it snows, it's cold after the snow, this cold wind blows, it's not something ordinary people can eat, this Wang Fu can't stand it, although he wears fur.

"It's fine. Ning Caichen didn't shirk. As for after entering, Mao Shi was embarrassed......

Let's deal with it first!

Therefore, after entering the big flower hall, he quietly walked to the most remote corner and waited silently for the meal to be served.

Eating and drinking enough is the right way, and it is not advisable to fight and win.

He didn't want to cause trouble, but things found him.

As soon as I sat down, the light in front of me suddenly dimmed.

I thought it was Wang Fu coming back. As soon as he entered the hall, he immediately went to talk about the friendship of the same year. When I looked up, it was Mao Shixue, who had been lost for a long time, the four who were eyeing their fame.

I have to admit that this kid looks dignified and very elegant, he is still young, and his eyebrows are not obvious, but the arrogance between his eyebrows looks really annoying. It was as if he was the center of the world and that everything should revolve around him.
