Chapter 122 The Banquet of Deer Ming (Part 1) 4th update
The way back is quite close, but a little hard to walk.
It's not that Gao Pragmatic has been so excited that his legs are weak, but that there are too many people reaching out to reward him - Xinzheng County Gao Pragmatic, these five words have been so popular among private villages recently that even the idle people in Kaifeng Prefecture are
You know what kind of person he is.
The so-called private village refers to the gambling boards offered by some casinos. The recent gambling board is of course the provincial examination. Gao Pragmatic has long been known as Gao Longwen. He is also from the Gao family in Xinzheng and has also served as the prince's companion. Counting this, he is the current emperor.
Wanli Ye’s classmate, if he wasn’t in high school, who would be in high school?
However, just because Gao Pragmatic's voice is high, there are many people who want him to win, so the money he can win is limited. These idle men are all shrewd and slippery people, and they all go to the place where the results are released and wait.
As soon as he saw that Gao Pingshi had won, he asked someone from Gao's mansion for a reward.
In fact, generally speaking, a person with a status like Gao Pragmatic does not need to go to the examination results in person. In order to avoid trouble, he has been staying in a small inn under the contract and living in seclusion. He has not even come with the students from the county who came to take the examination.
Communicate. However, today I chose to see the list in person. As a result, those idle people started to make noises even more.
Although the servants of the Gao family don't seem to be easy to mess with, the idle men know that on a big day like today, even if they go a little too far, as long as they keep saying congratulations, the servants of the Gao family will not really do anything to them.
Gao Jieyuan is even less likely to vent his anger on them.
Since venting anger is not enough, we have no choice but to throw away money. Fortunately, this time Gao Jue and others have gained experience and brought a lot of change with them - this time they did not throw away silver, but serious copper coins.
After finally squeezing the way, Gao Jue grabbed Gao Pragmatic's arm and ran away. There was no way, there were only ten of them in total. If they walked slowly, no matter how much money they brought, they wouldn't be able to spend so much time.
Chinese.
While running, Gao Jue complained: "Young master, please don't look at the results in person for next year's exam. Otherwise, we have to push the cart out. If we pay ten carts, we may be able to return home reluctantly." - He will take the exam.
He was taking the exam in the capital. Gao Jingshi had a house in the capital, so naturally he wouldn't live outside, so he called back home.
I finally ran back to the inn, and when I was still some distance away, I found that the door of the inn was full of people, as if they were talking to the innkeeper. The owner was bowing and bowing, and he didn't know what was going on.
Gao Pingshi took a closer look and found that the people surrounding the innkeeper were not idlers. Judging from their clothes, they all seemed to be scholars.
Gao Jue reacted quickly and said hurriedly: "Young Master, this may be what Madam said. People from the New Imperial Examination are here to meet Duke Yuan. They are here to congratulate you and discuss tomorrow's Deer Ming Banquet."
Gao pragmatic was a little confused after hearing this. He had been friends with officials from the capital before, and each of them had already passed the exam. Which of them had a future, he could basically tell at a glance. But these were different from those who had passed the imperial examination. No matter how good his memory was, Gao pragmatic
It is also impossible to remember which of them will become Jinshi in the future, and even if they do, they may not have a chance of being of great use.
To be honest, he is a very "pragmatic" person. In his opinion, if these people will stop at being a civil servant for the rest of their lives, it will be meaningless no matter how good their current friendship is with them - he will do big things in the future, and he will not be able to do just that.
No use again!
To be honest, this is caused by two reasons. First, in the Ming Dynasty, only Jinshi was selected. Unless one has the clear name of Hai Rui and the literary name of Guang, there is no chance of great use. Gao Pragmatic Guang is Gao Gong.
He has a lot of talented people left behind, not to mention that his teacher Guo Pu will probably leave some for him in the future. He doesn't need these people to care about each other with him at all - he is the only one who cares about others!
Another thing is that although Henan has a large population, the writing style is average. At least in his impression, there should be no future big names in this subject of the provincial examination. Most of them are local people in Henan who have the status of a civil servant.
There is really no point in dating these people for the rest of his life.
There is data. Historically, from the fourth year of Hongwu to the forty-fourth year of Wanli, a total of 245 years, there were a total of 244 people who were number one, second place, third flower, and Hui Yuan in each subject. Among them, 215 were scholars from the south, while those from the north were
There are only 29 scholars, and the huge gap is evident.
This is also the reason why he lived in seclusion before and didn't have much contact with these people. Otherwise, if he was born in a place like Nanzhili, Zhejiang, or Jiangxi, he would definitely have to mingle with his peers.
How many pavilion elders and ministers are there?
But since they were all here, Gao Pragmatic didn't want to be too aloof and self-reliant, so he used his skills as a secretary to chat with them and praise each other.
On the second day, it’s the Deer Ming Banquet. The Deer Ming Banquet started in the Tang Dynasty. According to the Tang system, after the township examination, the chief officials would meet their subordinates with a local drinking ceremony, lay down the beans, prepare the orchestra, and use Shao Lao
, the poem "The Deer Mings" was sung to the banquet.
The Deer Ming Banquet of the Ming Dynasty was held in Minglun Hall. The chief examiner, deputy chief examiner, room examiner, supervisor, promotion officer, inner and outer curtain officials, and new imperial examination candidates all attended, and it was presided over by the Chief Secretary.
Xinzheng Gao's carriage drove outside the Minglun Hall. Gao Jingshi told Gao Jue and others to wait outside. He took out the bright red invitation and entered the hall with his head held high under the admiring eyes of the trumpeters at the door.
When we arrived at the main hall, we saw lights and colorful decorations everywhere, dressed in red and green. At this time, the candidates had basically arrived, and the officials seemed to have arrived, especially the examiners, who were all surrounded by the candidates.
They surrounded him and kept getting closer.
But when Gao Pangshi came in, the room immediately became silent. Both the examiners and the new candidates turned their attention to him - everyone was really aware of it, and it was difficult for Gao Pragmatic to keep a low profile.
Gao Pingshi sighed inwardly, but he couldn't say hello to them, so as not to appear more arrogant, so he had no choice but to pretend he hadn't seen them, follow what was written in the title list, and go to his room master to perform the master-disciple ceremony to express his gratitude for the recommendation.
Let the examiners and candidates get to know each other, which is also one of the purposes of this banquet. Coincidentally, the room master of "Yi" room is the teacher of Wei Hui Mansion, his surname is Wang, he is an old gentleman, when he returned to his hometown last year
I met him again in Huojia County, but that time it was Mr. Wang who accompanied Mr. Fu Zun to pay homage to him. Now it was his turn to pay homage to Mr. Wang.
However, the rules are the rules, and there is no room for sloppiness. Gao Pragmatic is not a person who puts on airs, so he walked over, saluted politely and said: "Students meet sir."
Although this old Mr. Wang is quite old, he has not lost weight with old age. On the contrary, he has grown rich. Hearing this, he laughed so hard that he almost couldn't see his eyesight. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, the best article in this undergraduate course is indeed what I ordered."
.”
Gao pragmatically said politely: "Students don't dare to do it."
Wang Fangshi said with a face full of joy: "Your article is indeed good, and it is worthy of being a model of Xuan Weng's family history. After reading it, I didn't even dare to comment more. I only wrote four words 'elegant, clean and solemn', and I highly recommend it."
When I went up, the deputy examiner looked at it and said: 'Jie Yuan is here, Jie Yuan is here', and then he wrote a long review of nearly twenty words and forwarded it to the examiner. The examiner only read it once, and he got you.'"
Gao pragmatically looked modest, smiled, bowed and said, "The student is lucky."
Before Wang Fangshi could say more, he suddenly heard a loud trumpet call at the door: "The imperial envoy is the chief examiner of the Henan Provincial Examination. He is a compiler of the Hanlin Academy. On the day of the banquet, he said that officials should be careful when doing public duties -"
