Naturally, it is impossible to serve shochu in a place like this. It should be noted that shochu is a drink for low-class people and cannot be served on the table at all.
After the banquet officially started, and after five rounds of drinking, Yuzhu suddenly caught a glimpse of Qian Mingding, Jinke's detective, and kept staring at him.
Yuzhu's heart moved, so he excused himself to change clothes and left the private room.
As expected, not long after Yuzhu came out, Qian Mingding followed him out.
"This...that...Brother Yuxian, I'm really sorry. Brother Yu forgot to bring his wallet when he went out. He really deserves a beating." Qian Mingding blushed, stammered, and finally managed to say what he meant.
Got it.
Yuzhu knew that after Liu Changyun ordered bear paws, the cost of tonight's luxurious feast would be huge.
It was definitely impossible for Liu Changyun to treat this feast, and it could only be shared equally between the three of Yuzhu and the others.
Just by looking at Qian Mingding's clothes, you can tell that his family must not be very wealthy.
Without saying a word, Yuzhu called Wu Jiang and ordered him to take two hundred taels of silver notes to Qian Mingding.
After all, Qian Mingding is Jinke's top prospect. If he wasn't really shy about his money and was afraid of making a fool of himself when the accounts were settled later, how could he have discussed it with Yuzhu?
Before Qian Mingding could say the word "borrow money", Yuzhu took the initiative to lend him money. Is this kind of understanding that ordinary people can do?
"Oh, thank you." Qian Mingding was very grateful and quickly handed over his hands to express his thanks.
In fact, before Qian Mingding came, he had already borrowed money from his fellow villagers. However, he never expected that Liu Changyun would order Jin Gui's bear paw.
To be honest, Liu Changyun's method of taking advantage of others is quite unreasonable.
How can we continue to have a good relationship in the future?
"Why are you so polite? To be honest, wait until you are completely comfortable before talking." Yuzhu's principle of life has always been that problems that can be solved by money are not big problems.
Really big problems cannot be decided by money.
A serious pillar of a wealthy family must be good at spending small amounts of money to accomplish big things.
The children of the rich and powerful who do not know how to spend money to get things done are mostly defective products who have not received a complete education and will collapse sooner or later.
After lending money to Qian Mingding, Yuzhu returned to his private room first to avoid letting others see the flaw.
Wu Jiang, who was standing aside, took in all this and was filled with admiration.
Some fools have lent money to their brothers and haven't settled it yet, but they just don't pay attention to the sense of propriety and details in life.
You talk nonsense everywhere, Zhang San asked me to borrow several million, I am really generous.
Doesn’t this completely trample Zhang San’s face under his feet?
Alas, how can you not be jealous of such an approach? Can we still be friends for a long time?
Wu Jiang learned another trick.
Sun Chengyun was used to drinking flower wine, so he became lustful when he saw that the school girl who played the pipa was extraordinarily pretty.
Lao Sun's personal servant, after receiving the order, went out to find the school book mother.
Soon, the ensemble song ended, and after the girls left to change their clothes, the handsome principal who played the pipa sat next to Sun Chengyun.
Sun Chengyun made a "good" start, and Lao Twelve stopped pretending to be the prince's elder brother, and chose a beautiful schoolmaster with a good face and a beauty mark on his lip.
For a time, all the beautiful school girls were divided up, except Yuzhu who did not ask the school secretary to accompany her.
Yuzhu saw that everyone was looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and his scalp couldn't help but feel numb. This is the result of being unsociable.
Sun Chengyun knew that Yuzhu didn't like to play with Ji. However, even the twelfth-year-old called him the girl's school secretary. If Yuzhu didn't, it would be a bit of a mess.
As a result, after Lao Sun sent someone to order the school secretary’s mother, a hot female school secretary came.
Sun Chengyun came close to Yuzhu's ear and whispered: "According to the school secretary's mother, this girl was originally the concubine of a certain minister in the Ministry of War. After the old minister died of a sudden illness, he was sold here by his wife."<
/p>
Yuzhu smiled slightly, what lies could the school book mother dare not tell for money? Whoever believes it is stupid.
With the school girls accompanying them, the atmosphere at the banquet immediately became much more lively.
Everyone is a person in the scene. Except Yuzhu who doesn’t like to eat flower wine, who doesn’t like to have a lively scene?
When the wine was full of wine, Sun Chengyun couldn't control himself. He hugged the girl's school secretary, got up and left.
After Sun Chengyun set an example, Liu Changyun also led others away.
What surprised Yuzhu was that Xie Sheng, who was second on the list, despite being a greasy uncle, actually hugged two female school students and left happily.
Qian Mingding didn't want to leave at first, but he couldn't hold back the girl's school teacher in his arms, twisting and shaking flirtatiously, so he couldn't help but leave.
Only Yuzhu was left on the scene.
Naturally, it was impossible for Yuzhu to recruit the female school secretary to accompany him. However, Lao Twelve and his peers were all happily living here, how could he just leave like that?
So, Yuzhu let the hot female school secretary sleep in the room alone, while he chose to sleep in the carriage.
Yuzhu's carriage is fully bedding and the mattresses are thick, so he sleeps well.
The reason he didn't leave was to give face to the twelfth-year-old and his classmates. By sleeping in the carriage, he told them that he was not willing to touch girls' school books, and he didn't want to touch them no matter how beautiful they were.
Before Yuzhu lay down in the carriage, he told Wu Jiang to take five hundred taels of silver notes and deposit them temporarily in the hands of the school secretary's mother.
It definitely won’t cost you so much. When you check out, you’ll be refunded any amount you have to pay.
Originally, Sandingjia should have shared the expenses, but since there were two more perverts, Lao Twelve and Sun Chengyun, Yuzhu should have paid the bill.
As a human being, you must never break the rules and moral principles.
The friends brought by Yuzhu have also enjoyed it together. Is there any reason why they should share it with them in the same year?
That would be so ignorant!
According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty Huidian, Xinke Sandingjia will be directly awarded an official as usual.
Therefore, in today’s Chuanlu Ceremony, as Yuzhu is the number one scholar, he can wear the sixth-grade court uniform.
Because it is still March, you need to wear a red-tasseled warm hat with a clam top, an azure sixth-grade egret court dress, and black high-soled court boots.
In the Qing Dynasty, all high-ranking officials wore official boots. Official boots were also called court boots.
Grassroots are not allowed to wear boots, they must wear straw sandals, cloth shoes, or go barefoot.

Because he has not reached the fifth rank, the jade pillar is not qualified to hang court beads, but it saves some trouble.
To be honest, hanging the beads is neither elegant nor in the way. If you want to bend down, you have to hold the beads with your hands to prevent them from dragging to the ground.
All the equipment that Yuzhu needed to participate in today's court meeting was ordered with his own money, and the court didn't care about it.
After checking the court uniforms, Wu Jiang left the inner courtyard and ran to the screen wall outside the second gate to check the preparation of the official sedan.
Civil servants sit in sedan chairs and military officers ride horses. This is the rule.
Now that Yuzhu is officially going to court, he must ride in a sedan chair and cannot ride on horseback or in a carriage.
If a civil servant does not ride in a sedan chair when going to court, it is against the rules. As long as he is impeached by the official, dismissal from office will be light.
An official sedan with jade pillars, tin roof, soap cover, and soap curtains, carried by two people.
There is no way, only officials of the third rank and above are qualified to ride in a four-person official sedan in the capital. Officials of the fourth rank and below are always required to ride in a two-person sedan as long as they are in the capital.
However, rules are dead and people are alive.
Li Si'er had already asked Longko to find ten more reliable bearers. Two bearers would work in a group, and they would carry the bearers for a while, and then another group of bearers would carry on.
There are five groups of bearers taking turns, which does not affect the speed of travel and the bearers will not be too tired.
The only drawback is that the cost of raising so many bearers is quite high.
However, no matter how much money was spent on Yuzhu, Li Si'er didn't feel bad!
After having breakfast and greeting Longkodo and Li Si'er, Yuzhu walked out of the second door and boarded the sedan to go outside Donghua Gate.
The imperial court only restricted Yuzhu himself. In fact, just behind Yuzhu's official sedan, two carriages followed not far away.
Hanshuang and Lin Yaner were sitting on one of the carriages. On the other carriage were a variety of daily necessities, as well as many sets of clothes that could be changed at any time.
Because, starting from today, after Yuzhu officially becomes an official, it is very likely that after going to the Yamen, he will not go home directly, but go to attend social events.
If you wear official uniforms to attend social events, does it mean that the officials and censors are too busy and cannot find the opportunity to impeach you?
Nowadays, it is a common practice in the officialdom to accompany the servants to the Yamen, bringing many sets of different styles of casual clothes or official uniforms.
For example, Yuzhu was eating flower wine, and the emperor suddenly summoned him. At this time, in order not to keep the emperor waiting, he must immediately change his official uniform and enter the palace as quickly as possible.
In the past, I didn't feel any inconvenience when I went out late. Now that Yuzhu is on the road in a sedan, she has more troubles.
In these four-nine cities, there are countless sixth-grade officials.
On the way, whenever he met a high-ranking official, Yuzhu's sedan chair had to move to the side of the street and wait for them to leave before they could continue on the road.
After giving way too many times, Yuzhu simply refused to leave.
Anyway, the order of entering the palace is also determined according to the grade of the officials. The sixth-grade officials are not the last, but also the last.
Hu Biao, the chief steward, has been with Longkodo for many years and already has rich experience.
Seeing Yuzhu getting into the carriage, Hu Biao didn't say anything, but carefully told the bearers to walk faster later, so as not to delay the important event.
Sure enough, about two-quarters of an hour later, all the high-ranking officials came to the front, and Yuzhu got on the road again and swayed outside Donghua Gate.
When Yuzhu got off the sedan, he saw, what a boy, at the end of the civil and military officials, there are more than 200 new scholars, all wearing slate blue official uniforms and wearing crowns with three branches and nine leaves.
Yuzhu held his head high and walked slowly through the queue of the same year with square steps.
Hehe, under the gaze of many envious, jealous and hateful eyes, it felt like a review. In his heart, he was still a little proud!
Among the ranks of new Jinshi, Sandingjia are all wearing official uniforms, which is particularly easy to recognize and extremely conspicuous.
By the time Yuzhu reached the front of the queue of new scholars, people were already being released in front of Donghua Gate.
At this time, Wang Shanglin, the minister of Honglu Temple, wearing a third-grade court uniform, walked over quickly.
"Gentlemen, you must obey my orders later and do not make your own decisions. If you violate etiquette in public and are criticized by the censors, you can only blame yourself."
Wang Shanglin is the chief official who leads the new Jinshis in the ceremony and process today. If the new Jinshi makes a fool of himself, he, the minister of Honglu Temple, will not look good.
After all, everyone received etiquette training at Honglu Temple.
At this time, three censors with Haezhi embroidered on their chests came. They stood not far from the new Jinshi team, staring at everyone eagerly.
Before he was officially conferred, he was impeached by the imperial censor. If he lost his honor, wouldn't the exam be in vain?
As a result, there was total silence in the large team of more than 200 people, not even a cough could be heard.
"Everyone, please follow me into the palace." Following Wang Shanglin's order, the new scholars led by Yuzhu lined up to enter the Donghua Gate.
(PS: The scene of awarding officials is definitely a wonderful drama. It’s time to enjoy the monthly ticket!)
