Guide to Traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty.

Chapter 87 0082 [Drinking order]

Yu Dayuan has studied "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" and knows the background of this article.

Today, he felt the scene reappeared.Zhu Ming is Wang Bo, and he and the scholars present are the guests who were slapped in the face by Wang Bo.

Very shameful!
Yu Dayuan quietly looked at Huang Sheng, but Huang Sheng bowed his head and remained silent.

Both of them have passed the Juren examination, basically they still need face, and it is impossible to continue to stalk them.

Ju Ming's knowledge is there, you need Confucian classics to have Confucian classics, and you need poetry to have poetic talent.What should I do?How to fight again?Are you boring yourself?
Professor Qian stroked his beard, raised the wine cup and said: "Good poetry, it's enough to go with the wine, and it should be three whites."

"Please!"

Xiang Zhixian smiled and clinked glasses with Professor Qian.

Lu Heng savored the poem carefully, but sighed secretly: This Zhu Chenggong is really a master of flattery, and I will never learn it.

"The knowledge of the ancients is inexhaustible, and the young and the young are mature." The subconscious meaning of these two sentences is that Ju Ming is young and only has a youthful effort. When it comes to learning, he has to rely on seniors like Lu Tixue.

"What is learned on paper is always superficial, and I know that this matter must be practiced." These two sentences do not need to be hidden, and directly state that learning is doing things, and Lu Tixue's academic method is absolutely correct.

Flattering to such an extent is not disgusting.

Because the poem itself is well written!
Of course Lu Tixue was happy, the smile on his face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, and then he sighed again: "It's a pity, if you are so quick-witted, if you were born 20 years earlier, you would be able to show your knowledge in front of Mr. Dongpo. It would be perfect to study Shu studies."

Zhu Ming asked: "Promoting learning and admiring Shu learning?"

Lu Tixue shook his head and said: "In terms of Shu studies, I only recognize its theories of managing the world, governing history, and empathy. As for the vertical and horizontal contingencies and the integration of the three religions, it is too biased."

Zhu Ming finally fully understood why Lu Tixue advocated doing practical things, but intermittently lost his nerves. It turned out that he was influenced by Su Shi.

Heart, nature, emotion, fate, these are topics that Song people are keen to discuss.

Shuxue highlights a character of love, the so-called "emotion-based theory", which is close to Zhuangzi's naturalistic view of life and...Zen.

This is not a problem at all, but if the vertical and horizontal skills are added, it will appear too frivolous.

A school of Confucianism that absorbs and combines Buddhism, Taoism and vertical and horizontal techniques sounds very strange.Zhu Xi's comments are the most vivid, saying that the father and son of Sansu "picked up the remnants of Su and Zhang in the early days, and drunk the dross of Buddha and Lao in the evening".

However, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, the most influential among the people was neither Wang Anshi's new school, nor Ercheng's Luo school, but the Shu school headed by Sansu!
Because Shu scholars' articles are well written, they have a wide range of dissemination, and the theory of love is easy to be accepted by young people.

Even Lu Tixue, who advocated doing things, was misled by the theory of love.

"Forget it, drink!"

Lu Tixue suddenly felt a little depressed.

Everyone didn't understand, I was quite happy just now, why suddenly changed my face.

Maybe, I'm getting nervous again.

Lu Tixue, however, thought of the current situation in the court. He and his clan brothers are both members of the New Party, but many of Cai Jing's actions are not acceptable to even the New Party.

His clan uncle, Lu Dian, is Wang Anshi's direct disciple!

As for the poem that Zhu Ming copied just now, the original author was his nephew Lu You...Maybe, he will continue to copy in the future, why is Lu You not yet born?
Seemingly feeling that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Lu Tixue said again: "You can make a drinking order."

Xiang magistrate cupped his hands and said, "Please submit an order."

Lu Ti said: "Drinking and having fun should not be cumbersome. Just use the teasing order, starting with drinking, and three sentences are enough. I will come first, drink, drink, and be old?"

Xiang Zhixian answered immediately: "Drink, drink, fight for the first and not the second."

Professor Qian continued: "Drink, drink, have fun, don't think about life."

WTF?

By the time it was Zhu Guoxiang's turn, he had already lost his mind. He had recently made up for his knowledge of mediocrity and rhyme.But the drinking orders of the first three people are not exactly the same. How does this make him continue?

"Drink, drink..." Zhu Guoxiang raised his neck and drank a bowl, "I did it!"

"Hahahaha!"

The audience laughed and the atmosphere became lively.

Zhu Ming sat next to Lu Tixue, who happened to be the last one at the main table.

At this time, it is useless to memorize more poems, one must know that the wine order is mediocre.

Through the drinking orders of the first seven characters, Ju Ming has already heard the rules. The third to last character must be flat, the last character must be zhe, and the rest of the characters can be arbitrary.

Zhu Ming continued: "Drink, drink, wine and meat will not stain the intestines."

A scholar at the next table couldn't wait to say: "Drink, drink, get drunk and thin."

"Ha ha!"

Lu Tixue clapped his hands and shouted: "Fine for drinking, fine for drinking!"

The scholar wondered, "Is there a rhyme?"

Lu Tixue said narrowly: "Such a simple drinking order, are you still allowed to hold it?"

Everyone present couldn't laugh or cry, Mr. Tixue is really an idiot.

Deliberately issued a simple drinking order, but dug a hole in the rhyme and waited for someone to dance.

"Shou" rhymes with "you rhyme", which is the upper tone.

"Shou" is rhymed with "you rhyme", which is the sound of falling.

When creating poems, "Shou" and "Shou" can rhyme together, and in this case they rhyme.But if there is a drinking order, Lu Tixue, as the referee, can judge that the word "thin" has a rhyme.

In the past, when poetry and fu were tested in the imperial examination, the rhyme was so strict that many bigwigs would overturn their cars.

Zhu Ming wiped his sweat quietly. He was lucky and almost fell into the pit.

In the second round of the drinking order, a total of four people gave out the rhyme and punished drinking.On the third lap, Zhu Ming also played the rhyme, honestly he was fined a bowl of wine.

It's not ashamed.

It is really hard to guard against, if the bet is not allowed, the ancient scholars will also make mistakes.On the fifth lap, Xiang Zhixian and Professor Qian were both fined with alcohol.

Lu Tixue had a smirk on his face, he likes to tease people like this.

It can even be said to be bullying, because of the dialect accent problem, most of the people present are rhyming, regardless of rhyme.

Such nonsense made the atmosphere lively quickly, and even Yu Dayuan and Zhu Ming were joking with each other after drinking a few bowls of wine.

With enough food and wine, the Bai family moved many benches, and everyone sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool and rest.

As the sky gradually dimmed, some lanterns were brought up.

Yu Dayuan seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness, and took the initiative to communicate with Zhu Ming: "Where does success come from?"

Zhu Ming replied: "I have read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles, but I have never learned from a teacher."

"It's quite rare," Yu Dayuan was already convinced, and took out his old work and said, "Please be a good brother of success."

Ju Ming leaned close to the lantern to read, and said, "It's very well written."

Lu Heng joked: "Don't give him face, mediocrity is mediocrity. This guy is far better than me in Confucian classics, but he is not as good as me in writing poetry."

"Why didn't you pass the exam?" Yu Dayuan was very upset, and deliberately poked his sore feet.

Lu Heng was not angry, he laughed and said: "The imperial examination does not take poetry and prose, so I can't do it."

The difficulty of obtaining Juren in the Song Dynasty was much lower than that in the Ming and Qing dynasties.Of the twenty scholars in front of me, a quarter have passed the exam, they are the representatives of scholars in the whole county.

Huang Sheng dragged the bench over and asked, "I heard people say that Brother Chenggong also has a nickname called Winged Tiger?"

"Is there? I don't know." Zhu Ming prefers to be Hu Baoyi.

Huang Sheng asked again: "Do those thieves want to eat human flesh?"

Zhu Ming was a little speechless: "Who did you listen to?"

Lu Heng interjected, "It's been rumored in the county that the Yang brothers specialize in dissecting babies' hearts and lungs for drinking."

What's all this mess?

After Zhu Ming explained a few words, he talked about the whole battle process.It is necessary to add oil and vinegar, and artistically handle the details of the bandit suppression. Anyway, Zhu Ming personally held a knife and fought with the bandit leader for several rounds.

The scholars were delighted when they heard this, wishing they could go to battle and kill the thieves themselves.

After talking about suppressing thieves, Yu Dayuan said: "Successful poetry is outstanding, why not join our Qixiang Club. Every spring and autumn, Qixiang Club holds poetry meetings, and many scholars discuss poetry and Taoism together."

"Brother Yu kindly invites you, and I will obey you." Of course, Zhu Ming would not refuse. He planned to rebel in Xixiang County, so it would be good to get to know a few more local scholars.

There is a strange phenomenon. Poetry clubs were everywhere in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was precisely after the abolition of imperial examinations that poetry and prose became common practice.

It used to be an examination tool, which made people miserable.

After canceling poetry and prose, it was used for fun instead, and poetry clubs popped up in piles.

On the other side of the yard, Lu Tixue was in a slightly drunk state and was asking about agricultural knowledge: "How to distinguish the male and female of these flowers?"

Zhu Guoxiang asked his servants to fetch charcoal, drew two large flowers on the ground, and explained in popular words as much as possible: "This is the stamen group, which is divided into filaments and anthers. The filaments are like male roots, and the anthers are eggs, which can produce a lot of pollen. .”

"I see, pollen is that thing." Lu Tixue stroked his beard and smiled.

Zhu Guoxiang continued: "This is the pistil group, which is divided into stigma, style and ovary. The pollen enters the ovary from here, and yin and yang can have sex and bear fruit."

Lu Tixue squatted and looked at it for a long time, and said in amazement: "Interesting, interesting, really interesting. I have a brother (Lu You's father) who likes to raise peonies on weekdays, but unexpectedly that peony flower is... Hahahaha!"

Zhu Guoxiang said: "Peony plants are monoecious, generally there are more stamens and fewer pistils."

Lu Tixue smiled even more happily: "When we meet next time, I'll let him smell it closely with his nose, then point to the peony and say: This is the male's!"

Zhu Guoxiang couldn't laugh or cry.

After putting away his smile for a long time, Lu Tixue asked again: "Is there anything new to say?"

Zhu Guoxiang said seriously: "I have two kinds of crops. They are corn and sweet potatoes, which are obtained from overseas. Even if they are planted in mountainous areas, corn can yield one stone per mu. If they are planted in good land, two stones can be harvested. As for sweet potatoes, they are similar to The roots of taro are generally eaten, and the yield per mu is higher.”

One stone per mu is the yield without chemical fertilizers and the corn seeds degenerate.If all of them are good varieties, and with the use of chemical fertilizers, the highest yield per mu will be more than ten stones...

Lu Tixue said in surprise: "The grain grown in the mountains yields one stone per mu?"

Zhu Guoxiang nodded and said, "The sweet potatoes and corns have been planted, and the corns will be harvested in two months."

"Where are they planted?" Lu asked.

Zhu Guoxiang said, "It's in this village."

Lu Tixue's expression became very serious: "Take me to see it tomorrow! If it is true, I will promote it throughout Lizhou Road."
