New Year's Day, Shangyuan Festival. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Ming Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival has been in line with today, except for official official occasions, the folk are generally called the Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the Son of Heaven gave hundreds of officials the Lantern Festival, and at the same time, the night ban in the capital was suspended for ten days.

On this day, Lin Yanchao finally stopped studying in the hall, but raised people with Weng Zhengchun, Ye Xianggao, Lin Cai, Liu Zhen and other fellow villagers to look at the lanterns outside the Donghua Gate.

Outside the Donghua Gate, there is a famous lamp market in Beijing.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the lantern market is bustling with vendors selling lanterns, customers buying lanterns, and people watching lanterns, and pedestrians are staggered on the street.

Everyone wants to enjoy the lanterns according to an excellent location, so the inns and restaurants near the light market on this day are full as early as before the Lantern Festival.

And Lin Yanchao and others finally passed the means, and spent some money to set a good location in a restaurant outside Donghua Gate to have a glimpse of the night view of the light market.

The five of them sat at a table, ordered wine and food, and looked from the window, but saw fireworks rising in the capital, and fireworks were set off at night.

All kinds of cannons, fires, third-level waves, ground rats, and fireworks are lit, most of which are set off by the rich family, and a firework costs hundreds of taels of silver.

Fireworks rose in the sky, and the lights on the ground were like dragons.

The most spacious place in the lamp market, the Yellow River nine-song lantern is lit, stretching for several miles, and the city is lit from afar.

The whole lamp market is such a scene of fire trees and silver flowers, there are men and women watching the lanterns on the street, and when it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, even the women in the boudoir are generous to the streets and swim.

The women wore white silk shirts and traveled together at night, called "walking the bridge", also known as "walking a hundred diseases", watching the lanterns all the way, and then touching the door nails under the Zhengyang Gate.Lin Yanchao ate side dishes and watched the scene of fireworks in the light market. I couldn't help but think that although the world's scholars scolded Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng had been in power for seven years, which did bring a new atmosphere to the Ming Dynasty.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao raised his glass and said to a few people: "Everyone, let me wait for this peaceful and prosperous world to congratulate you." ‘

Everyone raised their glasses, and Ye Xianggao also smiled and said: "Congratulations also to us, Chun Yu Denghuangjia." ‘

Compared to the peaceful and prosperous times. Or the Chinese style of Chunfu is closer to everyone, everyone is smiling and toasting, but Weng Zhengchun is a little absent-minded.

Lin Yanchao knew that his old friend had always had pre-exam syndrome, and immediately said: "Brother Weng, with my current talent, even if I try to pick up a book and read it for more than ten days now, it will be difficult to make an inch, so it is better to relax." It's better. ‘

Weng Zhengchun said: "I also know the way of Yichi, but I have been thinking about the Yutang collection in my heart, and there are still more than a dozen pages that I have not memorized, so I don't know the taste." ‘

Hearing Weng Zhengchun say this, everyone said: 'Brother Weng, everyone comes out to eat and drink, you mention the matter of reading, which is really a big scene. ‘

Weng Zhengchun smiled. At that moment, he said: 'This is my fault, punish myself with a cup.' ‘

Weng Zhengchun said. Everyone talked and laughed, and the tension in their hearts for the upcoming exam went a lot.

At this moment, in the restaurant, there are also many scholars, many of whom are people who are going to the examination and supervisors.

At Lin Yanchao's table. Seven or eight people had just sat down, and after listening to a few words, they knew that they were all prisoners of the North Prison.

But I heard a prison student say: 'This year's Lantern Festival is good, but there is no Aoshan, which is inevitably a fly in the ointment. ‘

The so-called Ao Mountain is a mountain of lanterns. It looks like a head, and it turned out to be a scene of the Lantern Festival in the capital.

Another human: 'It's not Zhang Jiangling, a few years ago he told the Son of Heaven that the fireworks in Aoshan on Yuan Xi were useless, and they were saved in the New Deal, so Aoshan was cut. ‘

Everyone at the table showed disappointment.

One person said: 'I think our Ming Dynasty is also short of this money, Zhang Jiangling is not allowed this, that is not allowed, here is also to measure the land, a whip law, and a few days ago, the court came out again, saying that it is necessary to rectify the Cao Zheng, this is not yesterday, I heard that hundreds of officials over there in Tongzhou Cang were taken out of prison. ‘

One person said: 'This matter is not a loss, if it is not a bad theory, you say that those corrupt officials have been released for decades, and the court will suddenly remember to arrest them?' ‘

Hearing this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but stop and listened carefully.

A prisoner said with a smile: "This article has been on the issue for less than half a month, and it is a famous capital, and the insights in the article are thought-provoking, this is the real article Huaguo!" ‘

Lin Yanchao smiled slightly when he heard this.

One person said: 'As soon as the theory of causal disadvantage comes out, the son in the capital will be raised, and I am afraid that no one can compare with this Lin Jieyuan for a while! ‘

One person said: "Yes, I heard that this Lin Xie Yuan is not only well-written, but also a scholar of the scriptures, a book of ancient texts is sparsely proven, even a few old Hanlin and Five Classics doctors in the Hanlin Academy, are all praised, last year there are still people in the court to read, from now on the township test, the examination questions in the Shangshu Sutra, can only be taken from the twenty-eight modern texts and scriptures, not the ancient texts. ‘

Hearing this, all the prisoners sighed in unison, this kind of awesome realm is beyond our reach.

How to understand this sentence is equivalent to a candidate, and the examiner who gives the question delineates the scope of the exam.

A prisoner said: "It seems that this year's move with Shangshu as the scripture will be a foil for Lin Jieyuan, hehe, fortunately, my scripture is not a book, so I don't do this kind of thing to accompany the prince to read." ‘

Lin Yanchao was listening, and he was a little complacent at first, but the more he listened, even he became apprehensive. He didn't expect that his own cheating theory would actually make his reputation reach this point.

I'm going to be a big hit in the exam!

Hey, it seems that you can't be like the township test, be a dark horse and make a splash, and then pretend to be forced to slap your face, it's really a pity to think about it.

At this time, a person poured cold water and said: "If you want me to see, you are too optimistic about Lin Jieyuan, I think he may not be even the title of the gold list?" ‘

'Oh, what's the point? ‘

The man said: 'I see today's Lin Jieyuan, which is yesterday's Tang Linchuan, wasn't Tang Linchuan also a moment of beauty back then? But in the end, he fell to Sun Shan, and everyone knows the truth. ‘

'That's right, I was able to suppress Tang Linchuan last time, and this time I can not take Lin Jieyuan, anyway, in the end, people have the final say, I see who should take whom, Zhang Jiangling has already said hello to Shen Xiangye, the chief examiner of the exam. ‘

Another said: "Yes, it is angry when I say it, Chunfu has become a private weapon of the imperial court, and when I took the last entrance examination, there were rumors in the market that the Son of Heaven said to Zhang Jiangling, Yuanfu took care of Sheji for me, and the Son of Heaven took care of the family for Yuanfu, and as a result, Zhang Jiangling's son took the example. ‘

'The two sons of Zhang Jiangling in this section are going to take the test, I don't know if the three sons of the Zhang family will wrap up the three tripod armor. ‘

Everyone shook their heads and sighed after talking for a while. And Lin Yanchao couldn't help but worry about him when there were several people at the table.

Lin Yanchao smiled, didn't take it to heart, and soon after, he took the initiative to settle the wine money and went back to the hall with everyone to continue studying.

More than 20 days passed in a flash, and finally it was the eighth day of the second month, the day of the examination. (To be continued.) )
