Chapter 341 Inscribing Poems and Fus in Fengze Garden
Lu Runxiang, Tan Zongjun, and Li Guolou were sitting together in Fengze Garden. The other Jinshi were drinking and laughing, but they did not dare to drink freely. There were many things waiting for them to do tomorrow. And the Jinshi who sat at the table with the three of them in the same year was not a rich man.
It's so expensive that even Li Guolou's friend Zhu Dinghe, who was ranked 120th among the top three scholars, couldn't get a seat.
The topic couldn't help but talk about tomorrow's apprenticeship ceremony. The scholars talked about the rules of the apprenticeship ceremony without any scruples and gave money to the teacher.
Lu Runxiang came to the capital not long ago, and he didn't bring much silver. He couldn't help but worry about the apprenticeship ceremony tomorrow, and asked: "Li Laosan, you have been in the capital for a long time. I wonder how much silver I will give to the teacher tomorrow?"
Dong Xun, the 100th Manchu Scholar, rolled up his sleeves and interjected: "It's a little embarrassing. I didn't expect to fall at the last hurdle. Li Laosan, your seat was originally mine, so it was easier for your grandma to have it."
Boss Lu, don’t
Asking people about their rules, I don't know anything. You need to be a disciple for at least two hundred gold. This is the rule. If you don't have that much gold around, go to the bank to borrow it. If you don't get back two thousand gold in a few days, I will take it out and give it to you.
."
Li Guolou was quite dissatisfied and said: "Boss Lu, don't go to the bank to borrow. I will lend it to you without any interest. Dong Baiming, it doesn't hurt your back to stand and talk. Boss Lu is not in the capital, and his hometown is in Yuanhe, Jiangsu."
The county wants to return home honorably even if it makes money. How much money will you give to the Number One Scholar?"
Dong Xun banged the table and shouted: "Li Laosan, you look down on me. Two gold ingots are always given to the number one scholar. People who have nothing to lose for a friendship are not us Manchus."
Lu Runxiang stroked his beard and nodded slightly. He understood. People born in scholarly families are likely to have great wealth, and there are friends willing to help wherever they are. As for the people who are Jinshi in the same year, it is just a matter of friendship. Everyone is polite and shows their sincerity.
.
Li Guolou pointed at Dong Xun and said with a smile: "When I was writing the test paper in the main hall, I was wondering if someone would write, 'Xiang Yu's power is unparalleled in the world, let alone lifting a broken wheel.' I didn't expect it to be you. Don't blame the teacher.
It's your own fault. Who told you not to read history books? Use history as a guide. If you don't know what's going on in neighboring countries, how can you govern the country?"
Dong Xun sighed: "It's because of my bad father who doesn't let me read miscellaneous books. Otherwise, with my old background, how can I get into the ranks of Yidingjia? Now I can only compile and repair books first, and be a poor official in the capital for a year."
Seeing you standing in class, giving that
Some Gongsheng students took education classes. After carrying it home, they were unwilling to give up, so they fell at the last hurdle." After that, Dong Xun and other Jinshi at the table toasted together. They could drink freely and share the joys and sorrows in the Hanlin Academy in the future, forming a deep friendship.
friendship.
Lu Runxiang said: "Since Tan Laoer agreed to treat today, I will treat you tomorrow night. Where can I put it, Dong Bai, a local snake like you?"
"In a word, it's the Deyi Building next to the Huaman Building. I have the final say there. I originally booked it to treat guests, but now it's a different owner." Dong Xun nodded and agreed.
Li Guolou couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He was getting married tomorrow night, and he was marrying three wives at once. It was too shameful to say such a thing. He was marrying three "rotten peach blossoms", and what's more, there was also a pregnant woman among them.
French girl
.Don’t tell me? If you don’t come to drink tomorrow night, you won’t give the champion Lu Runxiang face. There are so many Jinshi here. Then it’s really unreasonable that Tanhualang will be the only one in Dingjia. He will also be criticized by other Jinshi, saying that he is “important”
"Sex is light on friends".
Li Guolou was asking questions around him. He couldn't make up his mind. He didn't know what to do.
Zhu Dinghe, who looked like a thief and had his neck bent, walked over from a nearby table holding a wine glass, put a hand on Li Guolou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ah, you don't know, Tanhua Lang will get married tomorrow night, and it will be a new style wedding, and the number one scholar will be
Sir, what do you want Tanhua Lang to do when you treat us? He’s too busy to do all the work."
Li Guolou was agitated. Who told the story about his family? He thought that without anyone noticing, he would have a wedding banquet with his family without inviting relatives and friends, and invite his subordinates to make a fuss, and that would be the end of it.
It was over now. All the Jinshi said that Li Guolou was not a good friend and wanted to drink a wedding wine. Next to him, Zhu Dinghe kept laughing evilly, as if he was watching a joke under the stage.
Li Guolou was exhausted, and was forced to say helplessly: "Boss Lu, Mr. Tan, please listen to me. My marriage is not in line with etiquette. Anyone who thinks it is a disgrace to Confucianism should not come to the wedding banquet, because I married once."
Three wives.”
Lu Runxiang glanced at him and said: "Li Laosan, don't we know about those bad things about you? The meaning of admiration for a long time is that we all know it. Marriage is a major event in life, the so-called long drought is followed by sweet rain, meeting an old friend in a foreign land. When the gold list is named,
It’s the wedding night. It’s not too late for us to congratulate you. I’ll give you a share when the time comes. Come if you can. Don’t you think so?”
"Yes!" The audience stood and applauded, giving Li Guolou a noble compliment. In my life, I have never seen a marriage like a seventh-grade official of the Hanlin Academy marrying three widows.
Tan Zongjun chuckled and said: "Tan Hua Lang marries three wives at a time. It is a good story through the ages. There is no shame in it. The marriage system allows it. As long as you don't marry the young husband, we can accept it."
Li Guolou was very pleased. He nodded with a smile and expressed his gratitude. It doesn't matter if you think about it. Others got married three times, but he solved it in one go and saved wedding money for relatives and friends.
Other Jinshi also clamored to come to Baozhifang for a wedding banquet. The climax of the banquet came, with frequent toasts and scurrying among each other.
At this time, Western culture had a strong impact on the Qing Empire. Many intellectuals already agreed with monogamy, and some even advocated late marriage and late childbearing, but they did not openly oppose the system of three wives and four concubines. They just took practical actions to keep themselves clean. For Li Guolou
This kind of "marry three" behavior was just laughed at. No one jumped out and scolded Li Guolou as "despicable! Vulgar! Shameless! I will not associate with him!"
Lu Runxiang smiled and said: "Li Laosan, didn't you say that the Qionglin banquet is not worth eight taels of silver? Tomorrow you drag three, no matter what, you still need eight taels of silver for a table. If Tan Lao Er is asked to talk about your Baozhi Room
, It’s just a name, just an appearance, so you have to hang the plaque of Baozhifang upside down tomorrow night.”
With so many friends supporting him, Li Guolou felt very proud and was about to bleed a lot. He said with a smile: "Don't worry, I guarantee it will be worth the money. It is more authentic palace cuisine than the Qionglin Banquet we had for lunch today. Shark's fin, abalone, and so on.
Add French-style foie gras, Russian-style caviar, and twenty-year-old daughter’s red without any water.”
Tan Zongjun knew the cuisine of the capital very well, and there was no restaurant or restaurant that he didn't know about. When something happened, he felt uncomfortable and said suspiciously: "Hey, what's going on? I heard that Baozhifang is a Manchu and a wealthy man.
How did a restaurant jointly owned by a Han widow become Li Laosan's?"
Lu Runxiang said with a smile: "Tan Laoer, you heard from hearsay and half-understood that the widow is Li Laosan's fiancée. Don't call her widow from now on, call her Sister Taohua. You have spent twenty years reading sages' books in vain."
The warmest laughter erupted in the lobby. Tan Zongjun couldn't help but glance sideways at Li Guolou, his hidden selfishness revealed. He just loves delicacies and enjoys gourmet meals. He is a gourmet and a senior chef. He likes to study food by himself. Tan Zongjun last time
Go to Bao Zhi Fang, for a grilled dish
He has a special liking for ducks and wanted to try making one himself. Unexpectedly, he couldn't make it. Even though he could taste the ingredients in the roast duck, he just couldn't get the color, flavor and flavor of Baozhifang roast duck. He also wanted to open a private restaurant, which is
His hobby is traveling all over the country, tasting delicious food all over the world, and he has a strong cooking skills.
Tan Zongjun sat one seat away from Li Guolou, and while Dong Xun ran to other tables to drink, he sat next to Li Guolou and said with a smile: "Li Laosan wants to discuss something with you. I know you'd better talk.
"
Li Guolou was immersed in great joy and blurted out: "Tan Laoer, if you want anything, just say it, there are so many friends here."
Tan Zongjun chuckled and said: "Li Laosan, to be honest, I like cooking very much and have unique research on dishes. I am very interested in several dishes of Baozhifang and want to learn how to cook them, but I haven't got a clue yet.
Please use your adult beauty to fulfill my food dream."
Li Guolou raised his eyes and glanced at Tan Zongjun, a boy from a wealthy family. He thought that for a "second-ranked official" to learn cooking was just a personal hobby. He didn't think too much about whether he would become a competitor. He also didn't think about it. Tan Zongjun, who was ranked second in the exam, should be a
It's just people's liking. Li Guolou's happiness has not passed yet. The "second person" agreed to drink his wedding wine. He relied on real materials to rely on the first person. I don't know how many times better than him? He wrote a poem and a poem at the wedding banquet as a souvenir.
, a beautiful story through the ages, many face-saving things.
Li Guolou stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "Okay! Li Laosan promises you that the three dishes are enough friends. But you have to swear not to tell others the secret of the three dishes."
"Okay, I swear, I will never tell anyone. Li Laosan is a friend! Come to Siyang Hutong to play in the future, I will personally cook and try my skills."
Tan Zongjun raised his glass and drank it down with a sly smile. His son Tan Yuqing was not an outsider, and it was only natural that he should teach his son Tan Yuqing the secret of cooking. He wanted to be an official in the Hanlin Academy of the Capital, and his family happened to be fine. The private restaurant "Baozhifang"
》Success in the capital opened a window for him.
The private dishes he has mastered are available all over the world. He can create his own style and plan to open a private restaurant called "Tan's Restaurant". It is already in his schedule. What he never expected was that Li Guolou was so easy to talk to.
In just one sentence, you can learn three Baozhifang housekeeping dishes in an honest way.
The so-called careless friendship leads to a wolf entering the house. Li Guolou was secretly plotted by Tan Zongjun. He was still thinking that so many rich Jinshi and future pillars of the country would be his future official career and business capital. He ran around excitedly, and in the
Over the banquet table, I toasted to the Jinshi of the same year, and personally invited my friends to drink his wedding banquet tomorrow night.
Most of these Jinshi were from outside the country and had nothing to do in the capital. No one would miss the opportunity to meet Li Guolou, a son of a famous family. The more than 200 Jinshi who came to Fengze Garden all said they would definitely support him.
Li Guolou burst into tears with gratitude, and drank a glass of wine at each table to express his gratitude to the Jinshi in the same year. He was in high spirits during happy events, so he drank more than ten glasses of wine before joining hands with Lu Runxiang and Tan Zongjun, and the three of them left Fengze Garden first.
The three of them are going to ride horses to praise the officials and parade around the streets tomorrow. They should go back early to rest so that they can have enough energy to ride horses and let the people in the capital watch. Otherwise, if the people in the capital see the three sick young men staggering around on the red horse, the court will be embarrassed.
After saying, "See you tomorrow morning!" they each boarded the carriage and went back.
The other more than 200 Jinshi in Fengze Garden had nothing to worry about. They drank freely, expressed their feelings, took advantage of the alcohol to compose poems and inscriptions, and filled the walls of Fengze Garden with writing. For just one night, Fengze
The garden is famous all over the world and has become a place that scholars must visit when they come to Beijing. It has become one of the four major restaurants in the capital and has a reputation comparable to Baozhifang.
There are also two poems by Li Guolou written on the east wall:
In the past ten thousand years, the great empire of Yadong! In March, it has established independent banners, and the rivers have spread the wave of civilization. Four hundred trillion people have gods, and the land is vast and rich in products. Uncover our yellow dragon imperial flag and sing our imperial song!
I have worked hard for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and I have never forgotten the truth. The road ahead is long and long, and I will turn away the clouds to find the right path.
One of the poems was quickly forgotten by the world, while the other was widely sung and became a popular ballad.
