What does it mean to appreciate chrysanthemums? How about we write a poem with the theme of chrysanthemums? "

The literati responded one after another.

For literati, viewing flowers is for writing poems, and if they get good poems, they can become famous in this party.

The literati were reciting poems there, and other people naturally had activities. Gu Qing asked everyone to sit down by the stream, and a group of women spontaneously played with flying flowers.

Put a glass of wine in the stream and run aground in front of anyone, who has to say a poem according to the theme and rhyme, just one sentence, this way of playing is more interesting, and it will not make people think of a poem without breaking their heads.

Gu Qing didn't want to participate in such an event. She could recite many ancient poems, but she couldn't compose poems by herself. Instead of memorizing poems, she might as well do something else she is good at.

She smiled and said, "Everyone must have fun, I'll let someone prepare the meal."

Just as Gu Qing was about to turn around, the two women on the side suddenly stood up: "Princess, we will go with you."

The two of them are not very literate, so if they stay here to recite poems and fight against each other, isn't this a joke for everyone?

Gu Qing took the two of them to the kitchen yard of the flower garden. There are more than 20 women preparing meals here. Today's flower viewing party is preparing a roasted deer feast.

Gu Minmin and others have already prepared the charcoal fire, put it in an iron pot, and carried it to the banquet venue. In the middle of the venue, a long furnace for barbecue has been repaired long ago. Two bricks are piled up and placed on it Iron grid, sliced ​​and marinated venison is placed on the grid, and the oil starts to sip.

The fragrance spread out immediately and penetrated into everyone's mouth and nose.

The people who were reciting poems couldn't sit still, and got up one after another to watch.

In this era, there is a way to eat barbecue, but people have never eaten it like this at a party. It looks quite novel, and the smell is different from the smell they usually eat, and it hooks all the gluttons in their mouths. .

Gu Qing smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone can go back to their seats and wait for the barbecue to be served. If you want to try it yourself, you can come here."

Here is a slate barbecue. A pit was dug under the stone, and a charcoal fire was burning inside. The stone was scalded, and the venison sizzled as soon as it was put on it, which was very interesting.

Many literati have itchy hands and decide to bake it themselves.

The flowers are swaying and the fragrance is overflowing.

Not the fragrance of chrysanthemums, but the aroma of barbecued meat.

The men all took the initiative to go over and do it themselves, but the women were wearing skirts, which was inconvenient, so they sat on the seats and waited for Mammy Liu and others to bring them over after they were baked.

Not only venison is prepared, but also some greasy vegetables, grilled eggplant, beans, leeks, etc., and raw cucumber and melon.

Nanny Liu brought up a large plate of meat, and some were placed on each table.

"This taste is really different." Mrs. Situ took a bite and couldn't help but said, "The venison is still the same venison, it seems that these spices are sprinkled on the meat, and the meat is even more fragrant."

Gu Qing smiled and said: "This is Qingpei Pavilion's secret dipping sauce, no matter what it is baked, sprinkle some of it and the taste will disappear."

She opened her mouth to eat the roasted leeks. The leeks originally had a strong smell. After roasting, the smell blended perfectly with the cumin chili oil. One bite was simply irresistible.

A few days ago, she ate hot pot, and now she ate barbecue. Her life was complete.

Gu Qing was very satisfied with this barbecue feast.

After she was eight percent full, she was in the mood to talk to the people around her, and the person next to Gu Qing was Mrs. Situ.

Mrs. Situ really wanted to make friends with Gu Qing.

Firstly, the identity of the Princess is here, and secondly, it is also the most important reason, has she heard about Princess Rongchang’s stay in the capital?

"I heard that the provincial capital has been holding various banquets for the past few days. At the banquet held by the academic officer, the governor has arrived."

Mrs. Situ smiled and said, "Our master said that the governor likes Mr. Dong very much. I think Mr. Dong must be among the best in this township examination."

A few days ago, Gu Qing received a letter from Dong Rong. Although the rural examination was over, the list was not published, and because the provincial examination is very important, after the results came out, the provinces still needed to cross-check the list of candidates, which led to at least one month later. The results will come out, one can imagine how torturous this month is.

However, she believed that Dong Rong was fine. As for Mo Li, who was the magistrate of Zhima, who was far away in the fishing village...she really didn't have time to take care of her.

"Mrs. Wu, is what you said true?" A voice suddenly sounded, "Young Master Dong has really talked to the Governor. After being admitted to Juren, can Young Master Dong become an official directly?"

It turned out that a group of business women over there were also talking about the affairs of Fucheng, and the merchants were walking around. It happened that Mrs. Wu had been to Fucheng yesterday, so she had a better understanding of the situation there.

"Young Master Dong is indeed highly appreciated by the governor." Mrs. Wu said, "You can become an official after being admitted to Juren, but I don't think Mr. Dong will stop here. He should go to the capital to take a Jinshi exam again. At that time, the official position will be higher."

"Oh my god, did you hear that, Young Master Dong is going to be a Jinshi!"

"My wife is the current princess, and the third husband is the county magistrate. From now on, this family will be in trouble!"

Everyone around cast envious eyes.

Dong Rong's reputation has spread since the trial at the Junior Court last year, and everyone knows that the princess has an excellent husband-in-law.

The head of the court examination case, the township examination must be on the list, and now he has the favor of the governor, and he will go to the capital to catch the examination at the end of the year, and he will definitely be a Jinshi... If he becomes a Jinshi, he will be a student of the emperor...

Some people who responded quickly congratulated: "Congratulations princess!"

"The results of the provincial examination have not yet been released, so I don't know how he did in the exam." Gu Qing said repeatedly, "I will not accept everyone's congratulations, and we will talk about it after the list is released."

"No matter what, Mr. Dong will definitely become the Juren Master!"

"Mr. Dong's reputation spread only after studying in Gujia Village. Gujia Village produced a princess, a county magistrate who was exempted from the exam, and a number one scholar. It's amazing..."

"This Gu's Village is a treasure land of geomantic omen. When my son grows up, I will also send my son to study in Gu's Village!"

Mrs. Wang answered, "Our old man also wants to send his children to study in Gu's Village. He asked Lizheng in the village, and Lizheng said that there are more and more students in the village now, and the teachers in the school have limited energy..."

"Princess, my Wu family is willing to pay for another teacher for the enlightened children in Gujia Village, and I implore the existing teacher to teach the children who will take the college entrance examination next year!"

Mrs. Wang followed and said, "My Wang family is also willing to contribute."

People who have children studying at home all echoed their words.

Recently, villagers from nearby Dongjia Village and Yujia Village also sent their children to school. Seeing that there are more and more children, there are only a few classrooms and only two teachers. It is time to change the existing teaching way out.
