Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter 106: Deer Ming Banquet and Son-in-Chief Banquet to Compose Poems Again
Chapter 106: Deer Ming Banquet and Son-in-Chief Banquet to Compose Poems Again
Baochai and her maid Ying'er accompanied Xiangling back to Hengwuyuan.
After walking for more than ten steps, Xiang Ling looked back at Jia Lan. Jia Lan stood like this, looking at Xiang Ling with a slightly divergent look in her eyes.
Daiyu felt a bit disgusted when she saw it, and said angrily: "The skin is like gelatin, isn't it very memorable?"
"Uh! Ah? What did you just say?" Jia Lan's thoughts were instantly pulled back and he didn't hear clearly. He looked at Dai Yu in confusion and replied strangely.
Daiyu snorted coldly, glanced at Jia Lan with a smile but not a smile, turned around and walked into her Xiaoxiang Pavilion without saying a word.
After practicing Jialan's Daoyin skills these days, Daiyu's complexion has improved a lot, and she feels like she's advancing and retreating like the wind when she walks.
Even the yin and yang aura was gone. Jia Lan looked at Daiyu's back, messy in the wind.
Seeing this, Xue Yan chuckled and couldn't help but step forward and remind her: "Lang Geer, you are looking at Xiang Ling with a stupid expression in front of the girl. Aren't you making yourself miserable!"
"Ah?" Jia Lan was stunned for a moment, "Did I look stupid just now?"
Xue Yan smiled even more happily and said: "You are just as stupid as Mr. Bao! Then you are not stupid?"
When Jia Lan heard this, he immediately said "ah", then covered his head and shouted that he was wronged.
Like Baoyu, this is the most fatal metaphor.
But I obviously just chatted with Xiangling for a few words, why is Daiyu actually jealous?
"Xue~Yan~" Daiyu called in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Xueyan responded and said, "Brother Lan, please reflect on yourself!" and walked back.
Not long after, a burst of laughter like silver bells came from inside.
Stopping outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and thinking for a moment, Jia Lan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled silently, and soon took steps back to Daoxiang Village.
The Lu Ming Banquet is the first of the four imperial examination banquets. It began in the Tang Dynasty. Historical records record: "The rural examination... After the examination, the chief officials will meet their subordinates with the local drinking ceremony, arrange guests and hosts, display the beans, prepare the orchestra, and use the animals in a small prison.
, the poem "The Deer Mings" was written because I had a long relationship with Qi Ai."
Therefore, every move at the Deer Ming Banquet must be carried out in accordance with ancient etiquette. The first step is to clarify the order of seniority and inferiority.
The host and guests are seated in order.
Musicians played Lu Ming, Si Mu, Huang Huang Zhe Hua, Yi Xia and other tunes at various stages of the banquet.
Everyone looked solemn. Even Cao Runqian, who disliked Jia Lan the most, was sitting upright and did not dare to make trouble at the Luming Banquet. He is not stupid. Making small moves in Luming Garden is almost equivalent to social suicide. p>
What the Deer Ming Banquet embodies is the core of Confucianism: etiquette.
It has a set of extremely complicated etiquette. The Song Dynasty even promulgated the "Rural Drinking Etiquette System", which stipulated that a total of twelve procedures in the Luming Banquet must be carried out in accordance with the rules. Those who were absent from the Luming Banquet without any reason would be severely punished.
Punishment. In the end, even Zhu Xi felt that there were too many red tapes and it was simply overwhelming.
The Great Xia Dynasty continued to use the former system, but in order to reduce the burden on the government, the process was relatively simplified.
But it is still necessary to sing the deer song poem.
With the experience of being the head of the previous trial case in the hospital, Jia Lan, who is a Jie Yuan, slowly stood up after getting Sheng Hong's signal and sang: "Hey, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild. I have a guest, playing the drum, harp, and sheng."
Playing the sheng, drums, and reeds, and carrying the basket are the generals. When people treat me well, they show me how to behave."
All the candidates immediately joined in, and after three rounds, Sheng Hongcai, the president of Jinke Township Examination, announced the banquet.
After the examiner said the word "banquet", everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
There was already a waiter waiting by the side, who only listened to the order, and the fish and meat were served on the table one after another.
After the banquet, it was customary for everyone to leave a poem as a souvenir, but this year all eyes were on Jia Lan.
When the rankings were released a few days ago, Jia Lan became famous through his poem "Qi Jue". Unless he can write a work that surpasses this poem, anyone who does not step forward rashly will be asking for his own fault.
So Jia Lan didn't speak, and no one spoke for a while.
Sheng Hong couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and asked: "Has anyone in the hall finished their poem?"
"Sir! The student has a poem, please read it!" Cao Runqian, who was sitting near the front, stood up and cupped his hands, and then read: "The rain has blocked the Longshan meeting, and the Yunhuang horse racing stage. Let's watch the yellow chrysanthemums bloom, don't wait for the white clothes to come.
There are thousands of books on career, and a cup of water on fame. When you come to Liaofu'er, you will be whistling and lingering."
Okay! The whole audience cheered, and even Jia Lan had to nod secretly. This poem was indeed well written, fitting both the time and the occasion, and also revealed his own stubbornness in refusing to admit defeat.
Of course, to others, it sounds like ambition.
Cao Runqian ranked among the top twenty in the provincial examination this time, which shows that he also has some knowledge.
Sheng Hong stroked his beard and nodded to Cao Run with a smile, looking quite satisfied. The latter then became even more proud, bowed to everyone, and gave Jialan a provocative look.
Someone took the lead, and many artists stood up and recited their favorite works.
Everyone also applauded one by one. Those who dare to stand up at this moment must have certain skills and their poems are naturally good.
There are even some people with good financial conditions who have found someone to buy poems early, just to make a name for themselves at the Luming Banquet. Even if Jia Lan takes the lead, the Luming Banquet has no influence on most of the people.
Generally speaking, I’m afraid you can only participate once in your life.
During the reign of the Supreme Emperor Jiayou, it was the first year since the founding of the Kingdom of China. The Supreme Emperor ordered that those who passed the provincial examination if it happened to be in the 60th year of Zhou Jia (the 60th year of passing the examination, even if it was the examination of the previous dynasty), they would wait until that year.
After the new subject examination starts, you can participate in the Deer Ming Banquet with the new examination candidates, which is called the Deer Ming Banquet again.
This reflects the court's grace in rewarding elderly people with academic qualifications and the importance the royal family attaches to scholars.
For a time, excellent works appeared frequently, and Sheng Hong and other examiners were all smiling. No matter whether they were good or not, this was enough to show the prosperity of culture and education in the country, which was a good thing.
However, at the end, Jia Lan did not speak, which made everyone puzzled.
"After not seeing each other for a few days, Xie Yuanlang has already exhausted his talents?" Cao Runxian couldn't help but joked in the end.
Jia Lan smiled and said: "With all the wise men and women in front of me, there is no need for me to show my shame, right?"
Normally, Jie Yuan should compose a poem at the Luming Banquet to calm the audience, but a few days ago Jia Lan's poem "Qijue" had already shocked everyone, so it's okay not to compose a poem today.
But Cao Run didn't want to give up and kept chasing Jia Lan.
However, Sheng Hong, who was at the main table, summoned a small official to give some instructions. Soon the small official walked up to Jia Lan with a glass of wine. Cao Run was surprised and started to boo.
The CEO's meaning is very obvious. If you do well, you will be toasted. If you do not do well, you will simply punish yourself with one.
Jia Lan bowed and took the wine glass. He glanced at Sheng Hong from the corner of his eye, but saw him looking at him with a slight smile. Next to him, Hejian Xuezheng, who had a gap with Jia Lan, had an expression on his face that he was waiting to see his joke and was about to add insult to injury.
, which made Jia Lan feel unhappy.
Jia Lan also found out what the Hejian academic politics had behind him. Originally, he didn't want to come forward, but since you have been so aggressive, don't blame me.
So he stood up calmly, took the wine glass, raised it to everyone, and said loudly: "I have something to say, please listen!"
Living in hiding in the world, looking at the world from behind. There is a rotten scholar in the world. What should I do?
If you have wine, sing loudly, but if you don't have wine, stop drying up. If you have a beard to send guests off, a stone minister can do it.
