Chapter 267 Qionglin Banquet

In the Qionglin Garden, Shangjing Imperial City, a high-level palace banquet was held in this newly built garden. Because most of the participants were Jinshi on this Beijing list, it was also called Jinshi Banquet.

Yelu Chucai, who was named Ye Jinqing, had beautiful beard and dressed in a cloth dress, sitting at the first table directly under the head of the main seat. According to the rule of eight people per table, nearly one hundred tables were placed in the entire Qionglin Garden. A little more senior officials from the Ministry of Rites, Education Department and Privy Council attended the event, which also increased the weight of the Qionglin banquet.

The celebration drama "Notification on the Beijing List" was also performed on the high platform of Qionglinyuan. The text creation of opera has been completed before the Beijing List and has officially debuted. This is the first time that it has performed to the outside world.

Many Jinshi were also infected by the difficult examinations reflected in it, and they were inevitably attracted. At this time, delicious dishes were also placed on the dining table, but the top one was still empty.

Therefore, when the king of the country did not arrive, no one dared to touch his chopsticks even if the dishes were extremely delicious.

In this not-so-long wait, the arrival of the king immediately broke the silence of the field. The guests who were still sitting stood up, and then they saw a Ulutus wearing a crescent white robe walking out from behind a rockery.

The sound of running water flowed through the artificial waterfall, and the opera troupes held their breath and were ready to give the big gift.

"The king of the country!" Under the unison of Duoergan and Wang Yu, the others also knelt down and surrendered.

"Let's just stay calm! Today is a banquet for the talented people. You don't need to be too polite to be a new Jinshi or a beloved minister." Ulutus said, taking the lead in walking towards the prepared empty table.

It was not until he sat down that Duoergan and Wang Xi got up and returned to their seats. The others also stood up, and Ulutus ordered again: "Come on! Everyone have a drink first, I wish all the new Jinshi officers a prosperous future and a prosperous country and a prosperous people."

No one dared to neglect and raised his wine glasses one after another. The small wine glass made of transparent glass is not big, but the color of the fruit wine is almost jadeite. It exudes a charming luster under the not-so-glorious sunlight.

After speaking congratulations in unison, he followed Ulutus and worked together.

In this way, the banquet will be considered officially opened.

Fortunately, the weather is not very cold at the moment, so the dishes served are not so cold. After eating for a while, the play was performed, and a large group of beautiful palace maids replaced the inmates and served tea and wine to these new Jinshi.

Zheng Mingyan and Dou Mo sat at the same table, and they had seen Ye Jinqing in the exam room. Compared with his arrogant appearance that day, today is much more low-key. However, the unconscious arrogance between his eyebrows still reveals his transcendent confidence.

However, their attention was not on Ye Jinqing, but on a humble middle-aged man sitting next to each other.

The other party was wearing the Confucian uniforms that were common to Han people, with an average appearance, and looked no different from ordinary Confucian scholars. But neither Dou Mo nor Zheng Mingyan dared to underestimate him.

Because the full-score genius in the "Nine Chapters Arithmetic" subject is this person with a low appearance. Even the proud Yelu Chucai felt a little admiration for him, so he raised his glass and said, "If I guess well, you should be the full-score genius in the "Nine Chapters Arithmetic", Li Banyan?"

"The genius dare not be a genius, it's just a lucky person!" Li Zhi was very gentle, and immediately raised his glass and touched it gently, and said in a humble tone.

Originally, he was studying in Luancheng, Zhending, but because of this, he heard that Eastern Mongolia was going to hold a scientific examination and would also list his favorite arithmetic as one of the required subjects for the exam, so he took the mentality of going to Eastern Mongolia to take a try.

Unexpectedly, he passed the provincial examination smoothly. He stayed here, passed the Beijing examination again, and won the second place. His mentality of trying it out before also became the idea of ​​playing for Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the victory in the Shandong battle also made him see that the strong rise of the Ming Kingdom was unstoppable. The competition between various forces in the Central Plains would become more and more intense. He did not want his family to stay in Zhending Mansion, which was likely to encounter war, so he took advantage of the opportunity to get good fame and fortune this time and moved his family to the Ming Kingdom.

In his eyes, although the Ming Dynasty was not founded for a long time, the government was clear and clear, and the people did not say that they lived and worked in peace and contentment. At least they had farming and had clothes to wear, so they didn’t have to worry about being frozen and hungry to death.

Such a country can be regarded as a rare place of peace in the world.

"Li Bang doesn't have to be humble. This time, the five subjects in Beijing are only one subject of arithmetic. And you are the only one. If you achieve this, you will be able to pass the humility!" Zheng Mingyan also gave a cup and praised him.

Only those who have personally experienced the arithmetic department know how difficult the question is for them. It is really rare that Li Zhi answered all of them correctly.

Hearing this, Li Zhi couldn't be more modest, so he said a few words to congratulate the other party and drank the wine with a smile. Now, everyone at the table knew that the second-hand man was easy to talk to, so they toasted and made friends.

After a round of his own toast, he began to raise his glass to the kings and officials such as Ulutus, the Minister of the Privy Council, the Minister of Rites, and other state leaders and officials. After all, his future career will be under the control of these people, so he naturally has to make a good attitude towards them.

Seeing this, Jinshi at other tables did not dare to fall behind and began to toast Ulutus and the others. Fortunately, the wine this time was fruit wine with low alcohol content. Otherwise, after a few rounds, Ulutus would have been a little unable to hold on and his head was as big as a fight.

Sariyanbuhe, who was dressed on the side, quickly added sobering soup to Ulutus. After drinking it, Ulutus suddenly felt that his head was not so dizzy.

It lasted about two hours, and the drama was singing one after another. The palace singing and dancing also appeared on stage during the performances, feasting the eyes of all the new Jinshi. Ulutus has been accompanying the banquet, and except for the occasional occasional trip, he has been on the table.

The entire Qionglin Banquet was also famous for participating in the Jinshi. Since then, the banquets of the Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty have also been held in Qionglin Garden.

After all, compared with the solemn and luxurious occasions of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Qionglin Garden is relatively relaxed and much more friendly to the people. These Jinshi, who are not currently in charge of official positions and ranks, are not suitable for entering the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which mainly includes court meetings and palace banquets.
