Even though Zhu Pingan was no longer willing to go to the banquet, after the sun set, Zhu Pingan still followed all the Hanlin officials out of the Hanlin Academy. It was impossible not to go. One month's salary had been paid out in advance! What could happen?
It costs a lot to eat.
I can’t understand why the Ministry of Finance is so easy to talk to, but they just gave one month’s salary to all the newcomers in the Hanlin Academy! Tonight was said to be a reception banquet for Zhu Ping’an and the other newcomers, but the drinking allowance only refers to these salaries!
I finally know why my eyelids twitched at noon! A month’s salary is just gone!
The restaurant chosen by Hanlin Academy looks very inconspicuous from the outside. It looks like an ordinary courtyard house with a peeling paint sign. But when you go in, you will find that it is completely different inside. The first thing you enter is just ordinary furnishings with stars.
It doesn’t even count, but the furnishings and decoration of the second courtyard are definitely rated as four-stars. This second courtyard opens up several courtyards and is very spacious. There are rockery and bonsai gardens, and uniformly dressed service staff, which is unique.
ah.
This is probably a place where people from the Hanlin Academy often come. The shopkeeper is familiar with Li Chunfang and the others, and every time they meet, they belong to this adult or that adult. I see that there are many people from other yamen eating here, and Li Chunfang and the others also come here from time to time.
When meeting acquaintances, say hello and introduce Zhu Pingan and others.
In addition to the Hanlin Academy, there were also officials from the Taiyuan Hospital, the Ministry of War and the Imperial Guard eating here today, but the specific places where they ate were different.
Li Chunfang and the others led Zhu Ping'an and the others into the Ximo Pavilion, their usual courtyard. This was a small independent courtyard with two private rooms separated by about three meters. There were already people in one of them, sitting there.
When several people from the Taiyuan Hospital saw Li Chunfang and the others, they took the initiative to get up and come over to say hello. They also asked the shop assistant to bring two jars of good wine to the Hanlin Academy people and charge them to their accounts. Li Chunfang also said a few polite words,
Yuan Wei coughed twice arrogantly and impatiently. The other Hanlin officials also nodded and passed.
Through this scene, Zhu Pingan also truly understood that in the feudal Ming Dynasty, the status of doctors was not as high as in modern times. The status of doctors here was still very low. Even though he was an imperial physician, he was still looked down upon in the eyes of feudal bureaucrats.
When these imperial doctors came to say hello, Zhu Pingan noticed that there was another person sitting on the table in the imperial hospital without moving. He was a young imperial doctor, sitting there very calmly and drinking the tea in his hand. Not at all.
Like other imperial doctors, they follow the trend.
This was an interesting imperial physician, and Zhu Pingan wrote this person down.
After entering the private room, they sat down according to their official positions. Li Mo did not come, saying that there was something wrong with the official department. Li Chunfang was older and had a higher official position, so she sat on the main seat. Zhu Pingan also sat slightly forward.
Because his official position was there, Zhang Siwei and Zhu Pingan were separated by several seats.
Shortly after Zhu Ping'an and the others sat down, two more people arrived hand in hand.
One of them appeared with a fragrant smell of powder. He was very handsome, and Zhu Ping'an also knew him. It was Zhang Juzheng who wanted to sing curry to gays the first time they met last time. He was so handsome, and even put makeup and spices on it. It was really unacceptable.
A person as unattractive as himself has a way to survive. In addition to makeup, Zhang Juzheng's clothes also complement each other. They are clean and bright, spotless and without a wrinkle.
I don't know the other person Zhu Pingan. He is not much more handsome than himself, but the arrogance on his face seems to be much more serious than that of Yuan Wei. Also. Who can come with Zhang Juzheng, how can Zhu Pingan be the same person?
This person is full of curiosity.
"Su Qing, uncle, you guys are here. If you come even an hour and a half later, you will have to drink as a fine." Yuan Wei stood up and smiled as he greeted the two of them to sit down.
To be able to treat such an arrogant and conceited person like Yuan Wei like this, he must be someone whose strength can make Yuan Wei look high on him. This kind of person must be a famous person in history, Su Qing? Whose name is this? It's so familiar.
Zhu Pingan was thoughtful.
"Haha, it was not long before Prince Yu opened his residence to receive the scriptures. It was difficult to escape for a while, but thanks to my uncle's help, I had time to escape today." The person who was called Su Qing by Yuan Wei said with a smile.
King Yu? Su Qing? The two of them appeared together, reminding Zhu Pingan that Su Qing is the character for Gao Gong in history! Gao Gong, it turns out that this person is Gao Gong, no wonder
This face is full of arrogance, so it’s not surprising that it has a high arch.
Historically, Gao Gong was a conceited prodigy with an arrogant personality. Just like his name, he was tall and difficult to arch. According to historical and unofficial records, Gao Gong could be regarded as a child prodigy of the Ming Dynasty.
If you can memorize the preface, you will be the leader of your hometown with the "Book of Rites" at the age of seventeen. This also develops a arrogant character, conceited and talented, and often looks down on the people around you, whether they are superiors or colleagues, let alone subordinates.
, the catchphrase is: You guys are stupid
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an looked up and saw the contempt hidden in Gao Gong's eyes when he was joking.
Haha, it's interesting. Thinking about the two people's personalities, Zhu Ping'an sat there and couldn't help but imagine the mental processes of Yuan Wei and Gao Gong.
Yuan Wei: I look down on these idiots, but I look down on Su Qing and Ju Zheng.
Gao Gong: I can’t even look down on an idiot like you!
After the greetings, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng both took their seats. By coincidence, Zhang Juzheng sat under Zhu Ping'an.
Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Li Chunfang, and Zhang Siwei will all be ministers of the Ming Dynasty in the future. There are actually four people who will be very popular ministers sitting at this table.
The world is really amazing. I actually sat and drank with the four cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he thought of this.
Four assistants at one table?
Maybe, who can say for sure in the future.
But speaking of the future, about five hundred years later from this time, a painter named Xu Beihong made a painting about this Hanlin Academy reception banquet, called the Feast of Fuxing. Painter Xu five hundred years later
This Banquet of Ming Fu was created based on historical records, because no banquet table had more important people than this table, and no banquet table could accommodate so many people, especially one of them.
This person pushed the Ming Dynasty to a height that is difficult to reach in any dynasty. Because of Master Xu Beihong's skillful selection of materials, wonderful interpretation, and excellent painting skills, this painting has become a classic among classics. Especially in the century of Master Xu Beihong
Later, this painting "The Feast" made history at an international auction. The transaction price was US$10 million more than the famous historical religious painting "The Last Supper", making it the highest price at the time. (To be continued.)
