Emperor Yongzheng: Eagle Bow Sirius

Chapter 33 All the disciples set up wine to send to the room, and the frustrated man got a fun hotel (1)
Due to the fraud case in the examination hall, the extension of the imperial list was delayed until April 27, when the inner court issued a decree, "Tomorrow the list will be published in Tiananmen Square."Originally, the selection of scholars in the imperial examination was the top priority of the imperial court. Not only scholars all over the world paid close attention to it, but also ordinary people in Kyoto and woodcutters in the mountains.Piansheng followed up with another purpose, "Cabinet scholar Zhang Tinglu was the master of Enke Shuntian in the Yong Dynasty. He didn't think about the emperor's grace and the law of the country. He colluded with Mo officials to accept bribes and corrupted the country. For the execution, the chief officials of each yamen in the capital will lead their own officials to observe the punishment"!The sound of "Qin this" was like throwing a ten thousand catty boulder into the lake, and the ripples of the waves were thrilling, and the capital was full of wind and rain that night.Li Fu, the new chief examiner of Shuntian Mansion, had selected Gongsheng students, and went to Zhonghe Hall to participate in the court examination. After receiving the order from the Ministry of Officials, Ding You, the governor of Huguang, was vacant.Li Fu received the order, suppressed his excitement, and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to meet Yongzheng with Yang Mingshi, the new governor of Guizhou.Yongzheng seemed to have something on his mind, so he didn't have much to say during this interview. He just said, "Come to Renqin to write an excerpt for me. Don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of trivial matters, and don't be afraid of offending people." He ordered a few words and then called down.After leaving the Xihua Gate, several other people in the same year asked him to treat him, and they didn't return to the mansion until dark.

Li Fu's scholarly family, his father's generation has been dilapidated, his family is not rich, and he is so noble that no one can get close to him. The clerk of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, is only paid 140 taels of silver a year. It is very difficult.A two-entry courtyard house is located in the northwest of Lanmian Hutong. It is a century-old house with many variegated patterns. There are very few visitors and it is located in a remote place. It looks very inconspicuous.But tonight it was very lively here.Li Fu was sitting in a four-person official sedan chair. Because of the hot weather, he removed the curtains, and saw the bright lights and candles in his house and the shadows of people from a distance. What's going on here? Who are the people here?"

"Master Zhongcheng is back!" Seeing Li Fu coming back, Li Sen laughed all over his face, reported Li Fu's governor's number to the people in the courtyard, and called Qian'er by himself, saying: "There are many people in the house." The master's new student, I saw the mansion report today, the master was promoted to Zhongcheng, who wouldn't come to congratulate him? After a few calls, the servants all sent them away. These papers were selected by the master himself, and we have to wait for anything to say The master is back..." Before he finished speaking, a group of tribute students had poured out, more than a dozen of them, all wearing three branches and nine-leaf carved gold pedestal crowns, and uniform tribute uniforms. When they saw Li Fu, they couldn't help but say yes. Head bows, greetings, greetings, and congratulations, "Zhongcheng", "Fujun", "Ministry", "Fuxian" were all noisy.

Li Fu smiled secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "How do you say this! Before the list is down, you come to worship the master. Acting governor, I don’t dare to presume to accept the ceremony, get up quickly and enter the house to talk!” So ​​everyone got up together, followed Li Fu respectfully and entered the middle hall of the north room in the backyard.When everyone looked at it, there was no dust on the roof, and the reed thatch on the eaves was rotten. There was an Eight Immortals table in the middle, a few stools and a chair, and a shelf of books in the corner.The books were so broken that they were supporting them with overwhelming strength, as if they were about to fall when touched.On the table are tiles, inkstones, inkstones, and a set of tea sets. There is only a ream of Song Dynasty paper of authentic color, and several ingots of Hui ink are neatly placed on the file. It can be seen that it was given by the emperor.When everyone saw that Li Fu was so humble, they couldn't help admiring him, and they sued for a seat, but they couldn't find a word for a while.When Li Fu looked at it under the light of the lamp, it turned out that he was a Gongsheng chosen by himself.In addition to Yin Jishan Yin Jishan (1695-1771), the character Changyuan, the name Wangshan, the son of Yin Tai, a scholar.In the first year of Yongzheng, he was a Jinshi. In the sixth year, he served as the governor of Jiangsu, the governor of Jiangnan Hedao, Jiangxi, and the governors of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi.At that time, Qianlong was the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, the governor of Jiangnan, and the minister of military aircraft. Most of the children of Wang Wenshao and Cao Wenzhi, who died of illness in Qianlong's 36th year, did not know each other.While serving tea, Yin said with a smile: "I remember there is another one named Liu Molin, isn't the one named Lin Haoran in Xuanzihao, I have selected twelve in total, and two of them didn't come?" Cao Wenzhi sitting on the right saw Li Fu looked at himself, and quickly smiled and said: "Lin Haoran's hometown is here. I just said that I will come to see the teacher another day. Liu Molin... Today I said that a chess player named Monk Mengjue came to the Guandi Temple in Zhengyangmen. Liu Molin is a chess fan, so he went to watch the game." Li Fu smiled and said, "I also liked to play Go a few times when I was young, but I didn't succeed in the end. Among the princes, the Thirteenth Master is good at chess. But the first part of the game is You have to have leisure, and the second is to have money. How can you have both? I am busy and poor, and I dare not think about these things anymore."

"The teacher is really poor." A descendant of Yin Jishan's family, he was unrestrained and generous, waving a plain paper fan and said calmly: "In fact, it is common for Beijing officials to pay a little bit of ice charcoal as a respect, and for fellow villagers to pay for seals. The imperial court treats scholars with integrity. There are not many people who are as high and steep as Teacher Yaan." Cao Wenzhi was a jokester, and when he was a young master at home, he often saw Li Fu coming to the mansion to meet his father. Set up the rules.Yin followed Yin Jishan's words and said with a smile: "But since we are teachers and students today, why not change the course? I brought a gift to the teacher as a student!"

Before I finished speaking, I heard a person in the courtyard interject: "Teacher, this mansion is so hard to find! Entering this bad alley is like entering the Eight Arrays of Marquis Wu, and entering the mountain of Juci, the seven sages are all fascinated. It's hard to do today." I am a student too!" Everyone knew that Liu Molin had arrived, and Cao Wenzhi said with a smile, "Liu Li Daner is here! Where did you go to make a living today, and I can't find you anywhere! Have you made an appointment to pay homage to the teacher—you It’s too late, the good wine and good food have been eaten, the banquet has been withdrawn, and you have time to go to the assembly!” Li Fu was usually serious, but he was really happy tonight, seeing all the disciples came to see him, he was even happier It's all right, he sat down with a smile and accepted Liu Molin's gift, and said: "Sit down, don't believe Brother Cao Shi. I am a poor official in Beijing, and I have never thought of getting rich in my life. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to greet my disciples with a cup of tea?"

"The students made a small fortune today, I'll treat them!" Liu Molin said.He was so hot that he was sweating, he unloaded a small bag from his shoulder, and put it gently on the table. There was a slight sound of metal bumping inside, and everyone knew it was gold. They couldn't help but wonder: How could such a poor person make so much money all at once? money?Li Fu's face was gloomy and he was about to speak when Liu Molin said with a smile, "Teacher, don't be angry, your face is so long, it's weird--the total amount of money is 200 taels of silver. That bald donkey has a big face, and he bets 100 taels of money. I was itching to see this money, and I wanted to get it without hurting my integrity, so I won two rounds against him. Take ten taels to set up a table for my peers!" As he said, he took out ten taels of silver and called Yin Jishan's servant , Said: "Go and get some wine and food!"

Then the crowd booed and said: "How much do you eat from us for free, and you only get ten taels for nothing? No, no, no, teacher is having a good time today, you can get 50 taels if you don't say anything!" Cao Wenzhi hurried over to solve the silver. Bao Er, Liu Molin covered the bag, and said with a smile: "I still have use for what I keep. 160 taels to send the teacher to take up the post, keep my meal money, buy half of "The Analects of Confucius", and buy a poem rhyme for Xiao Yin—— — This time I can only pay ten taels, and when I find that bald donkey and win two rounds, I'll treat you!" Wang Wenshao said with a smile, "I've never heard of "The Analects" being sold apart, so what do you buy half of it for? "

"Haven't you read "History of the Song Dynasty?" Liu Molin smiled slyly and blinked, "Zhao Pu said that the Taizu's official used half of the "Analects" to help His Majesty rule the world, and half of it to help His Majesty rule the world Zhao Pu (922-992) Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Staff, and planned the Chenqiao Mutiny, and helped Zhao Kuangyin become emperor. He served as the prime minister of Song Taizu and Taizong. The ancestor conquered the world, and half of "The Analects" helped Emperor Taizong rule the world.'. My student was born at an untimely time, and did not catch up with the time when the ancestors and ancestors peacefully ruled the world, so I had to buy half of it and read it carefully, so as to help Emperor Yongzheng rule the world Ah!" The crowd couldn't help laughing again, the originally reserved and bland atmosphere was completely disturbed by this clown.Yin Jishan pointed at Liu Molin with the handle of his fan and asked again: "What did you buy me for poetry rhymes? Could it be that I can't make poems without this book?"

"Brother Wen Shao told me a while ago that Brother Yin will get married once the list is announced, is there such a thing?"

"some."

"I'll give you a poem rhyme for use in the bridal chamber."

Although everyone knew that he was joking, they couldn't figure it out.Wang Wenshao was a talented man in Jinghua, and he couldn't think about it for a while, so he asked: "The bridal chamber uses poetry rhyme, do you want their husband and wife to write poems?"

"no!"

"Could it be a test of the bride's talent?"

"Where—no!"

Wang Wenshao frowned and pondered, and said: "I don't know which famous lady the bride is from, do you want them to follow Su Xiaomei's tribulation as a groom?"

"Oh——" Liu Molin took a sip of tea, as if he had realized something, but he shook his head and said, "No—yes!" Seeing that no one could guess, Liu Molin smiled and said, "What's in the rhyme? It's nothing more than four sounds. I don't believe it, Brother Yin's wedding night, don't you want to "go up and enter"?"

One sentence made everyone laugh out loud.Yin Jishan blushed, pointed at Liu Molin with one hand and said, "Bad...bad..." Cao Wenzhi held his stomach and knocked his legs down. Wang Wenshao was always dignified, leaning on the back of the chair and coughing continuously. Several Gongsheng couldn't sit on the stool. He stopped, bent over, beat his chest, stomped his feet and laughed endlessly.Even if Li Fu wants to be a teacher, he can't hold a sip of tea and spray it all over his clothes.After a while, Li Fufang smiled and said, "Forget it, you are all Confucian scholars, and you must be restrained in eating, talking and laughing. I have had a good time tonight, and I don't want your money. Just take 20 taels of silver and lend me this place." Let's just have fun, and I'll have serious business tomorrow!" Yin Jishan's servant took the silver and flew away.

"Actually, everyone is bored waiting for the palace examination list, so it's time to have fun. I'm happy today, and I'm willing to lose my name tomorrow." Liu Molin said solemnly, "Just now everyone said that ten taels of silver is less .Actually, I had a feast of ten copper coins with a Tang poem in my mouth. Brother Wen Shao, haven’t you taken a fancy to my snuff bottle? If you can guess how to eat it, I’ll give it to you. "Wang Wenshao thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.Seeing Wang Wenshao shaking his head, Liu Molin said with a smile: "This is how to eat - one penny for bean curd residue, one penny for leeks, and the remaining eight pennies for two chickens. A few leek leaves and two boiled egg yolks, this is called 'two orioles singing emerald greens'." Willow', the egg whites are taken out separately, and they are spread out flat, called 'A row of egrets on the blue sky.' Tofu residues are piled in a square frame placed on leek leaves, called 'Window contains Xiling Qianqiu snow'..." Wang Wenshao asked: " What about the 'Menbo Dongwu Wanli Boat'?" Liu Molin laughed and said, "There are still two egg shells, float them in a bowl of water, and this is called 'Menbo Dongwu Wanli Boat'!"

Everyone laughed again, and when the food and drink came, two tables were set up in the hall, all of which were of the same color. , neatly tidied up.Wang Wenshao was surprised and said: "Brother Yin is very capable in housekeeping, and he managed such a sumptuous banquet in a hurry! Even Huichunlou, it takes half a day to run a table of eight treasures, right?" Li Fu saw that these students were either gentle and elegant, or partial Some are partial to Confucianism, some are polite and dignified, some are witty and wise, and I secretly feel happy in my heart.I can't help thinking, no wonder the general Leng Cao officer sharpened his head and competed to go on a school trip. As for this group of people, who will be able to predict the future?Sitting down at one end, he said with a hearty smile: "I used to hate socializing the most, but today this Liu Molin got me excited. Come on, everyone, sit down!"

At present, everyone bowed to let them sit, and took turns to persuade them to drink, and then fought with fists and thumbs, yelled five times and drank six times, until the fourth watch, they all dispersed.

Liu Molin went back to the Xixiawazi Inn and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already high in the sun. He turned over with an "ouch", and took a few gulps from the spout on the desk. The boss came in with snacks.When you look closely, there is a plate of cakes, a plate of rice dumplings, and a plate of steamed fish.Liu Molin couldn't help being surprised, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"This is the rule." The boss smiled and narrowed his eyes. "Today, I will release the rankings in the court test, and I will show my auspiciousness to the master. 'High school leader'! It's a small heart, show filial piety to the master!" Liu Molin caught sight of himself last night The wallet I was carrying made me understand immediately, because I smiled and said: "You bastard, didn't you say that I'm a wild man who can't be selected in my life"? When did you change your sex? That bit of bezoar in your belly It’s just a pile after I’ve taken it all out—it’s probably because I’ve made money in my bag?” The boss smiled awkwardly: “How can you recognize gold inlaid with jade from the dog’s eyes brought in the womb of a little mother? A person who is the number one scholar, crosses the horse and empress hairpins on the imperial street, and carries a big sedan chair when he goes out! Why bother with those of us who are pouting buttocks and have no eyes?"

A few words made Liu Molin happy, so he picked up the rice dumpling with a fork, took a bite, and took another bite of soft-shelled turtle meat, and said with a smile, "Okay! I will give you ten taels of silver, including your meal money, a total of 30 taels, is it enough?" He unwrapped the wallet, put all fifteen envelopes of silver on the table, took out three envelopes and handed them to the boss.When the boss took it and looked at it, the Yishi Taizhou nine-eight-pattern silver cake contained 98% silver. ——Original note, a heart-to-heart silver tendon, the honeycomb stove stubble still covered with silver frost, suddenly laughed so much that his nose and eyes squeezed together, he held the silver and beat it down with a thousand sons, and said: "Master will be king forever! Seeing that he was about to leave, Liu Molin smiled and said, "Don't be busy. I have one more thing to ask you—Su Shunqing from Jiaxing Building, have you heard of it?"

"Look at the question! The number one young child in the Beijing Normal University, talking, singing, reading, and doing four unique skills! The pipa in that hand can explode the price of beans; the zither in that hand can play ding-dong; Humming, crying even if you are not sad..." The boss danced and danced, spitting everywhere, then paused suddenly, and asked: "I want to see you? The little one will take you there! The little godmother's sworn sister, who is it?" Sister Su's hair combing lady!"
