The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 519
Sheng Yuan, wearing a silver sparrow crown and a new blue robe, was filled with excitement and curiosity at the moment before stepping into the hall of the official office for the banquet. If her sister hadn't held her with foresight, she might have been too lively up.

However, after sitting at the banquet, Sheng Yuan's excitement and curiosity began to wander around.

It's mainly the hairpin banquet, which is a bit strange.

It’s not a feast to say that the hairpin flower banquet is not a banquet, but the banquet is full of classic delicacies from all over the world. Looking at the steaming dishes on the table and smelling the fragrance of various flavors, this is an authentic delicacy banquet.

But if you say that the hairpin banquet is a banquet, most of the people present didn't even pay attention to the dishes in front of them!
Most people are either busy contacting left and right, or looking at the great master expectantly, as if Master Xuezheng is a mountain treasure, and his left and right connections are like delicacies!
Sheng Yuan looked at the delicious food with regret.

"Wait until the hairpin flowers are ready before moving your chopsticks." Sheng An gave the girl a warning look.

Who told this girl to listen to her father's words, thinking that the chef's skills at the hairpin banquet were better than the imperial chef's, and Tete was hungry, waiting to come and eat!

If it wasn't for this little girl who couldn't bear it, maybe she just didn't have to eat breakfast.

"Hmph." Sheng Yuan nodded.

The hairpin banquet and the hairpin banquet are actually a roll call by Xuezheng, handing red flowers to the examinees who come over, and wearing them in their ears.

It is said to be worn by Honghua, but in fact it is mainly to check whether the candidates who got the admission places of the government schools are the same as the candidates who answered the papers at that time.

"Who is Xiao Sanyuan and Sheng Yuan's classmate?"

Hearing the sound, the listless Sheng Yuan immediately stood up vigorously with the help of his sister twisting his legs: "The student is here."

Yan Xuezheng looked at the happy-looking female student in front of him with a smile, and nodded: "Student Sheng, let's take the flowers!"

Sheng Yuan respectfully said yes, and according to the etiquette rehearsed by Mr. Academy in advance, he took the red flower with both hands, and humbly put it on his ear.

To be honest, not everyone can support wearing flowers, even girls, who are born with harmony with the flowers, either make people more beautiful than flowers, or complement each other; on the contrary, men who wear flowers on their heads are very The test of appearance.

A good-looking Lang Jun's hairpin is called romantic and unrestrained; a Langjun's hairpin that is not up to standard looks like a joke.

Of course, in this group of most of the candidates who are young and young, the vigorous vigor has raised the bottom line of appearance. Most of them are either beautiful or cute, and even if they are not good enough, they can be praised brightly.

Sheng Yuan Dai Haohua, Yan Xuezheng smiled and heard a few words of encouragement, then let her go down, and then called No.2 to come forward.

There are so many candidates participating in the Hairpin Banquet, it is naturally impossible for Xuezheng to tell them one by one. Only the top [-] or [-] candidates can have this kind of honor.

Fifteen or sixteen later, Xuezheng adults gradually turned into flower tool people.

The originally sincere smile gradually turned into politeness as the arms became sore.

Fortunately, the hairpin flower session has come to an end.

"The banquet is about to start. How about asking Sheng, the head of the three cases, to write a poem to start the hairpin banquet?"

After everyone put on the red flowers, Yan Xuezheng raised his glass with a smile and looked at Sheng Yuan.

"The student is throwing bricks to attract jade." At this time and on such occasions, Sheng Yuan could only be disrespectful to the great master's request to write a poem by name.

"[The forest of peaches and plums blooms one after another, and the koi in Longmen leaps over; where the mountains and rivers are competing for culture and energy, you can see that the community is inexhaustible.]"

"it is good!"

As soon as Sheng Yuan finished reading the poem, An Yu couldn't wait to join him loudly.

Driven by him and Lu Sheng's unconditional applause, the candidates present didn't even care to think about it carefully, and all of them applauded first.

Yan Xuezheng raised his glass to praise with a smile, and as soon as he praised, the students at the table hurriedly followed up, praising him with witty words.

Hearing the end, Sheng Yuan's face, which could not be pierced by arrows, was finally overwhelmed and a little ashamed.

"Sister, isn't this just an ordinary poem that I share with my classmates? I didn't realize how good it is!"

Based on the principle of "asking my sister if something is unclear", Sheng Yuan put her head next to her sister's shoulder and asked in a voice like a mosquito.

"Of course it's because your poems are well written!" Sheng An smiled, and said in the same low voice, "What kind of poems are written to celebrate what events at what time, what place, what situation, as long as these points are met, it will be What a poem!"

"..." Sheng Yuan pursed her lips, feeling that the standard of a good poem is a bit low.

"Sister Yuan, you're awesome!" An Yu's location was on the other side of Sheng Yuan, and this distance made it easier for him to praise her vigorously.

"Uh...thank you?" Sheng Yuan scratched her head, thinking that she had written well.

Fortunately, the compliment didn't last too long, and soon, the second wave of praise began to rise and fall again.

This is the No.2 student's move.

Sheng Yuan silently expressed his gratitude to him in his heart.

By the time the examinees were drinking tea instead of wine, the delicacies on the table had already cooled down.

The leftovers are not counted, and the cold sun is indeed.

Sighing, Sheng Yuan turned his head away.

"Don't worry, the food at the banquet will be distributed to ordinary people or beggars outside the government office after the banquet is over, saying that it is to have fun with the people, so that the common people will follow suit."

Sheng An gently put his hand on the little sister's hand and patted it lightly.

"???" Sheng Yuan stared in surprise, "Why didn't I know?"

"This is the 'rule' of the government office! Otherwise, how could these delicacies fall into the hands of outsiders." Sheng An has long been used to her sister's style of "you can't forget what you want to hear, and you can't forget what you don't want to hear". So it's not surprising.

"But there are so many delicious foods, and everyone hardly moves. Is it true that no one is tempted?"

It's not that Sheng Yuan underestimates people, the main reason is that even if you are an official in the capital, not everyone can drag their families to and from restaurants frequently.

As a parent, who doesn't want their children to eat delicious food?
"The banquets prepared by the government office have always been doubled. Guess where the leftover dishes have gone?"

Sheng Yuan understood.

"Then I won't touch my chopsticks either." Hearing that these dishes would be distributed to the common people and beggars in the end, Sheng Yuan immediately said that he would not try them.

"Sister An, there are still beggars in our capital?" An Yuxin said how he didn't know.

"Naturally, beggars are not allowed in Kyoto. There are many relief halls, and it is rich enough to house poor people." Sheng An nodded with a smile.

"???" An Yu, who was still waiting for Sheng An to say more, was a little confused.

When did Sister Sheng An acquire the ability to "listen to what you say like listening to what you say"?

"Sister Yuan?!"

Based on the principle of "ask Sheng Yuan if something is unclear", An Yu looked at Sheng Yuan eagerly.

"The sage had a court meeting before, and the ministers also said that the world can eat as much as possible. Guess, can everyone not be hungry?"
