The Qiuwei imperial examination was a very important event in the eyes of the ancients. It represented the first threshold for students to enter the officialdom.
Every year after the imperial examination, there must be a deer singing banquet. The deer singing banquet is accompanied by the examiner and hosted by local officials. Its purpose is to celebrate the farewell of the scholars from the imperial examination high school.
Congratulate them on their achievements in the Autumn Wei Examination, and send them off to the capital to participate in the Spring Wei Examination hosted by the Ministry of Rites next year.
In the original world, the Deer Ming Feast began in the Tang Dynasty and lasted until the end of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
During the banquet, the song "Deer Ming" must be played, and then the song "Deer Ming" must be read aloud to activate the atmosphere, show the talent of a certain man, and praise each other politely.
"Deer Ming" originally came from a song in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya". It has three chapters, namely, "The Deer Ming Eats the Apples in the Wild, the Deer Ming Eats the Artemisia in the Wild, and the Deer Ming Eats the Cen in the Wild." It means
When Luzi discovers delicious food, he does not forget his companions, and makes a yo-yo sound to summon his companions to eat together.
The ancients believed that sharing was a virtue, so they acted accordingly. The emperor hosted banquets for civil and military ministers, local officials hosted banquets for colleagues, and local gentry, in order to win over people's hearts and show their virtues as courtesy and virtuous people.
"Use it to guests and banquets, and the king and his ministers will be harmonious." If there is nothing wrong, he will not forget his accomplices, which means that this is the style of a gentleman.
It is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Sun Muzi appointed Dao Jin as his prime minister, and Duke Ao of Jin held a banquet to entertain guests, during which he sang three chapters of "Deer Ming". However, this kind of rule is only popular in wealthy places, and poor places lack food and clothing.
The mind is full but the strength is not enough.
The first day Liu Mingzhi got up, he went to worship the Jade Emperor, the Taishan Heavenly Saint Qiren in the east, the Tathagata Buddha in the west, the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the south, the ghosts and gods of the five directions in the north, and the Ten Palaces of Hell in the bottom. The sparrow was saved.
After a frightened night, Liu Mingzhi took the opportunity to go to the latrine and carefully checked the birds. Fortunately, Wenren Yunshu only gave Liu Mingzhi a small lesson and did not use a lot of effort, otherwise even if
It would take a few days to recover without being broken, and it would be difficult to get out of bed, let alone participate in the deer-crowing banquet specially ordered by my father-in-law.
After arriving at the main hall, Liu Mingzhi shuddered when he saw the two elders sitting around the table. He could even put a few pieces of wild ginseng on the porridge. Is this something his own mother can do?
Liu Mingzhi also guessed what Liu Zhi'an and his wife were thinking. They were crazy about having a grandson. It had been more than two months since they got married to Qi Yun, and her stomach had not improved at all. As an elder, she was always worried about the Liu family's incense.
Such a thing is understandable, but it is too unreasonable.
Just let the old man say no in private. Anyway, the old man has been in the shopping mall for many years, so he will definitely say this. Among the elders of the Dalong Dynasty, Liu Zhi'an and his wife are the only ones who can do this kind of thing.
.
Liu Zhi'an glanced at Liu Mingzhi indifferently: "After dinner, go to the deer singing banquet. I'll be upset watching you at home."
Liu Mingzhi opened his mouth and looked shocked. No, why did we offend the old man? Isn't this attitude a bit too much when we just met so early in the morning?
Mrs. Liu also spent the night calmly and handed over the lotus seed soup: "Zhi'er, let's have some porridge."
When Liu Mingzhi looked at the lotus seed soup in front of him, his legs went weak and his heart trembled. Especially Mrs. Liu's neither salty nor bland tone made him feel hairy.
But then I thought about it, I was going to attend the Luming Banquet today. Who were all the people present at the Luming Banquet? The examiner, Yuan Yuan, and many local officials in Jinling, the old man and I wouldn't have put anything to replenish qi and blood.
Well, if he makes a fool of himself, he will lose more than just himself, and it will also represent the Liu family’s face.
After thinking about this, Liu Mingzhi was no longer vague. He picked up the spoon and planned to drink this bowl of lotus seed soup made in the 26th year of Xuande's reign. Well? What do you mean? Liu Mingzhi found that the people at the table were staring at him. Liu Zhian
The couple, brother Liu Mingzhi, younger sister Liu Xuan, brother and sister from the Song family, and brother and sister from the An family all stared at him strangely, and even Qi Yun stared at him closely.
This strange scene made Liu Mingzhi's heart beat again. He looked at the lotus seed soup in front of him cautiously and put down the spoon tremblingly: "You shouldn't be hungry for porridge and water. I suddenly want to eat pancakes today, so let's forget the porridge."
Young Master Liu didn't notice that except for Qi Yun, everyone present had heavy dark circles under their eyes, obviously due to lack of sleep. This was all due to Liu Mingzhi's two pig-killing wails under the dark moon and wind last night.
The culprit actually slept until dawn, so it was strange that a few people felt balanced.
Mrs. Shiliu, in particular, felt displeased when she looked at her son, whom she usually doted on the most.
Yesterday, Liu Zhi'an teased Mrs. Liu in the main hall and said she wanted to have another baby. She said it even if she didn't mean to listen, so Mrs. Liu took a fragrant potpourri bath in the room early and waited for Liu Zhi'an to go back.
Although people in middle age have no choice but to soak wolfberry in a thermos cup, the wolfberry cannot resist the passage of time, and they have to add some angelica. Although Liu Zhi'an is the father of three children, he is only about forty years old, and his wife is ready.
We have to be wise. Although I thought that the practice of the large account was useless, I already had plans to practice the small account. But who knew that the large account suddenly rose up in the middle and took the baron with five kills, but who knew that the small account would not
Is it the existence of the five-kill super god? Practicing another one is actually nothing more than a trivial matter.
Everything was ready except for the east wind. Liu Mingzhi had everything ready except for planting. Liu Mingzhi's loud scream made him feel miserable, so today's scene happened.
Mrs. Liu was also grieving and wanted to grab Liu Mingzhi's ears and yell: "You disturbed me in giving birth to a little brother. Is this the son's fault?"
It's a pity that these words can only be thought about in my heart. Madam Liu is not as shameless as Liu Zhi'an and his son. She is the daughter of the Bai family, and she is a lady!
Liu Mingli was resentful because his elder brother had interrupted his good deeds. Although rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests, as the old saying goes, the first to get the moon is the one closest to the water.
These days, relying on the charm of dumplings, Liu Mingli feels that the day when he will be single is just around the corner, and his relationship with Song Lei is getting closer and closer. This is not why he secretly invited Song Lei to the pavilion yesterday under the pretext of discussing the nutrition and nutrition of dumplings for the next day.
While drinking tea and admiring the moon, the eldest brother's scream killed the relationship between the two underage guys who were still in love.
Although the moonlight was good yesterday, the two little guys always felt like there was a dark swishing behind their backs. Something always seemed to pop up somewhere, and their minds were in a state of shock. Looking at the moon? Looking at a hammer.
Liu Mingli didn't know what he felt last night, as if he was being stared at by something, needless to say, it was something other than Liu Ye.
Qi Yun's idea was much simpler. Everyone was looking at her husband. If I didn't look at him, I wouldn't be very gregarious. In that case, I might as well just stare at him like everyone else.
Liu Mingzhi took two bites of the pancake fearfully and thought about going back to change clothes. He also gave up the idea and went out directly in disgrace.
"Master!"
Liu Mingzhi turned around curiously, the voice seemed familiar.
"Ying'er, why are you here?"
Ying'er timidly handed over a jade pendant: "Master, you didn't bring the jade pendant."
Liu Mingzhi touched his waist, but there was nothing. He let Ying'er squat and put on the jade pendant for himself. Liu Mingzhi patted her head: "It's better to be Ying'er. There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm the young master."
Thinking of the bowl of lotus seed soup, Liu Mingzhi swore to himself that from now on he would not touch any of the series of drinks prepared by his mother.
