Before the Golden Palace is passed on, all new scholars need to go to Honglu Temple to learn the etiquette of meeting the emperor for three days.
In the morning, after Yuzhu arrived at Honglu Temple, Seleng'e and Actun had already arrived first, and the two of them were gathering together to chat.
After Yuzhu arrived, he naturally joined them, and they immediately became a trio of Manchurian Jinshi.
In this palace examination, Seleng'e and Actun both performed to their due level and the results were gratifying.
Among them, Seleng'e was born in the 2nd and 15th grade, and Akdon was born in the 38th grade. Both of them did well in the exams.
As a result, the group of three Manchu scholars, headed by Yuzhu, turned out to be a great event since the imperial dynasty began to recruit scholars.
Wu Jun and Li Guangdi are both the best of men. They deliberately chose the combination of the three Manchu scholars. Isn't this another kind of auspiciousness for prosperity?
Hey, this flattery disappears without a trace, but it is extremely admirable!
The officials of Honglu Temple divided themselves into groups to teach the new scholars the etiquette of various kinds of meetings.
Among them, in order to reflect the importance of the three tripods, the first place Yuzhu, the second place Xie Sheng and Tan Qian Mingding were personally taught by the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple.
The Han official Shaoqing of Honglu Temple was named Liu Changyun. He was very talkative and had an unusually gentle temper. He got along very well with Yuzhu and the others.
The rules must be to teach well and learn well. However, Liu Changyun did not show off during the study breaks and quickly got along with everyone.
After all, after the Golden Palace is announced in a few days, Xinke Sandingjia will be conferred an official title immediately, which means he will be an official in the same dynasty.
Even a fool knows that this dynasty attaches great importance to Sandingjia. Sandingjia’s promotion speed is astonishingly fast, and he is a veritable rocket official.
Maybe within a few years, Yuzhu and the others will surpass Liu Changyun in official positions.
After the first day's etiquette training course ended, it was almost dinner time, and Liu Changyun had already become brothers with everyone.
"Everyone, how many drinks can we have together?" Liu Changyun sent out the invitation with a smile.
In any case, Liu Changyun is currently everyone's superior officer. Since he has taken the initiative to speak, it is impossible for everyone to be stupid enough to refute his face.
There is absolutely no need to offend someone for no reason. Isn’t it just a matter of having a drink together? What’s the big deal?
So, the four of them made an appointment to go to Yuexiangyuan to drink together.
Yuexiangyuan, as you can tell from the name, belongs to that kind of romantic place.
Yuzhu's true intention is not to go to such a place. With his family background, what kind of beauty he wants, but he can't get it?
It's just that what this person needs most is to be gregarious, not to be unique and different.
Being independent means that you will be secretly squeezed out by your colleagues, which is what a wise man will not do!
The imperial court repeatedly issued decrees prohibiting officials from having fun in romantic places.
However, due to the extraordinarily lenient people today, Wen Tian's martial arts drama has become popular and its momentum cannot be controlled, so the ban has become a completely empty letter.
In today's official world, it would be a very disgraceful act for everyone to not invite Ji to accompany them to any gathering, big or small.
Yuzhu was changing into big clothes in the carriage, and Liu Wu, the second manager of the family, unexpectedly came with his twelfth elder brother Yinyu.
Lao Twelve didn't take etiquette and rules seriously at all, and climbed directly into Yuzhu's carriage.
Fortunately, Yuzhu has already changed her clothes. It would be too embarrassing if she changed halfway.
"Tomorrow we'll go to the study for a holiday, and today we'll play with it all night." Lao Twelve was leaning in the carriage without a proper shape, opening his mouth and leaning on Yuzhu.
With the experience of dating Lao Twelve twice, Yuzhu understands better than anyone else that Lao Twelve is just a two-skinned person.
Yes, just stay up all night.
Obviously, Lao Twelve, a poor guy, is determined to take over the wealthy Yuzhu.
Yuzhu smacked his lips at Wu Jiang, who immediately understood and quietly rode on horseback to find Sun Chengyun.
When Twelve was acting rogue, with Sun Chengyun there to help him, Yuzhu would not say anything offensive.
However, Lao Twelve is also an extremely shrewd guy. He deliberately smiled and said: "Call Sun Chengyun here too. After we have had enough wine and food, we can just gather a table to hang horses."
When Yuzhu heard what Lao Twelve said, he knew that Xing Zang had seen through Wu Jiang's riding away.
Originally, Liu Changyun just invited Sandingjia to have flower wine together. As a result, Yuzhu brought Lao Twelve and Sun Chengyun together.
Yuzhu originally thought that Liu Changyun, a young minister of Honglu Temple who had many connections, should know Lao Twelve.
Who would have thought that Liu Changyun, a Han official and young minister, would not recognize Lao Twelve and Sun Chengyun due to the different division of labor and only interacted with Han ministers on weekdays.
Xie Sheng, the second-place finisher, is not only a greasy uncle in his forties, but also a native of Jiangnan. He came to the capital just to take the exam, so naturally he would not know Lao Twelve.
Qian Mingding is from Huguang and Jiangxia, and he is not a native of the capital. How can he have the chance to know Lao Twelve?
Seeing that no one recognized him, Lao Twelve happily pretended to be ignorant, deliberately changed his name to Tao Lin, and got into the fun-seeking group.
Sun Chengyun and Yuzhu had a tacit understanding of each other, so he pretended to be stupid and simply used his younger brother Sun Chengsi's name.
After everyone entered Yuexiangyuan, it was obvious that Liu Changyun had the highest official position, so he was naturally responsible for arranging tonight's program.
Yuexiangyuan is a relatively high-end place for entertainment without selling one's body.
The school secretary’s mother came in with a smile, and after greeting everyone with a smile on her face, she looked at Liu Changyun, squatted down and said with a flattering smile: "Master Liu, are you still following the old rules?"
Liu Changyun glanced at Yuzhu and saw that Yuzhu was whispering to Lao Twelve, so he smiled and said: "All the new school books for playing, playing and singing will be arranged."
This Liu Changyun talks like an expert.
The new school secretary who plays, plays and sings is the school secretary who has never accompanied Liu Changyun before.
In a place like Yuexiangyuan, in order to continue to attract business, the mother of the school teacher will inevitably replace the school girl from time to time.
After all, every time a customer comes, they are faced with the same old faces, how can they not get tired of it?
School book mom, this is an elegant name.
After leaving Sijiu City, the names of school book mothers can be said to be various.
In Hangzhou, they were called the mothers who had to eat their own food. When they arrived in Suzhou, they became the mothers of the Qingyin class.
As for low-end places like this, the names are more innovative. For example, the names of the kiln sister's mother, the private nest mother, there are countless names.
Soon, a dozen beautiful girls came, holding either harps, flutes, or flutes in their arms.
Naturally, the beautiful girl holding the kite is also indispensable.
The school secretary’s mother stood at the front of the girls, hunched over and said with a smile: “To be honest with Mr. Liu and all of you, these dozen girls are good at performing together, why don’t we ask them to play together?” p>
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly. If there is competition, there must be improvement. Isn't this the prototype of more than ten music studios?
In fact, similar combination performances can be said to be everywhere in Jiaofangsi in the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties.
However, after the Qing Dynasty, in addition to palace performances, most of the private entertainment of the powerful were solo performances rather than ensemble performances.
Seeing Liu Changyun nodding, the school secretary's mother simply told the girls to be obedient, and then left the private room knowingly.
After the ensemble started, even Yuzhu, a guy with no artistic talent, felt that the performance was very good.
Not to mention, as long as you are willing to spend money, the service here is excellent.
While more than a dozen school girls were singing together, the delicacies ordered in advance were served with flowing water.
What has Lao Twelve never eaten? However, he was still amazed when he looked at the big bowl of bear paws in front of him.
"I said Mr. Yu, you even have bear paws. It shows that money can make ghosts grind. This is true." Lao Twelve deliberately teased Yu Zhu.
Yuzhu smiled slightly, even though Lao Twelve is the prince's elder brother, the opportunities to eat bear's paws in the palace are also limited.
To put it bluntly, although the royal banquet in the palace must be served with bear's paws, what's the point of cold bear's paws? You can't bite them, you can only watch.
The banquet of Manchuria's upper class society, as long as it is served with bear's paws, is a top-notch luxurious feast.
However, even a top family like Lao Tong's family can hardly have bear paw banquets a few times a year.
The reason is actually very simple. Although the royal family did not explicitly prohibit people from eating bear paws, they monopolized the way for bear paws to escape customs.
To put it bluntly, when the bear paws were transported out of the wicker gate, they were intercepted and confiscated by the Eight Banners soldiers.
There is no reason to argue, they just confiscate it, arrest people, beat them up, or even behead them.
Bear paws actually appeared here. It can be seen that they must be private goods transported from outside the customs through wild roads.
Today's Guanwai is not the three eastern provinces when Marshal Zhang came to power.
Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, specially ordered to repair the old wicker border in order to protect the Longxing land outside the pass and prevent Han people from secretly digging for treasures and ginseng.
Laowu Tiaobian stretches from the mouth of the Yalu River to the east and Shanhaiguan to the west.
Along the line, an earth embankment three feet wide and three feet high was built. On the embankment, a willow tree was planted every three feet in a dog-bite pattern, and the willow trees were connected with ropes, which were called willow knots. On the outside of the earth embankment, a trench eight feet wide at the top, five feet wide at the bottom, and nine feet deep was dug parallel to the wicker edge. Where there is a water source, water is discharged into the trench.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to declare the imperial power to the world, the wicker border was extended by more than 600 miles to the north. This newly added wicker border of more than 600 miles was called the new border.
Due to the wicker side walls, vehicles, horses and pedestrians must enter and exit through each side gate no matter how far they go, and undergo strict interrogation by the Eight Banners soldiers guarding the gate.
Shovels, pickaxes, saws, arrows, knives, guns and other utensils are not allowed inside the border, and wood, alluvial gold, herbs, bear paws and ginseng are also not allowed outside.
The most important side door of the entire wicker side is called the Ying'e Gate.
Ying'e Valley is the only passage from Shengjing to the Changbai Mountains along the Hun River. It is also the ancient road from Chaihe Valley and Qinghe Valley into the land of Longxing. The Ying'e Gate was specially set up here.
Lao Twelve leaned close to Yuzhu's ear and whispered: "Thanks to your glory, I actually got to eat steaming bear paws."
"If the three of us pay for the guests together, can't we just choose the more expensive ones?" Yuzhu smiled slightly and said some sweet words to Lao Twelve.
Lao Twelve said with a smile: "You guys have a lot of money to spend. My grandmother once said personally that you have made a lot of money."
Yuzhu smiled lightly. In the Kangxi Dynasty, when Longkodo stopped being greedy, the nine-door admiral would no longer be able to do so.
One emperor and one courtier, one monarch and one move.
In the Yongzheng Dynasty, who would dare to reach out for black money and wait for the house to be confiscated and sell their wives and daughters!
