Chapter 596: Huiyuan Building
After the palace examination, there will only be an interval of two days, and the marking will basically end on March 17, and the results will basically be released on March 18.
There is no fixed date for the release of the palace examination, in fact, from March 17 to March 19, it may be the date of the palace examination, and everything is subject to the marking of the current palace examination of the imperial court.
If the uncertainty of time is increased, it will make the candidates anxious all day long, for fear that they will make any mistakes and omissions in the palace examination, and thus be brushed down, and they will not be able to participate in the Jinshi or the future examination.
Anyone who has participated in the temple examination will be given the title of Jinshi according to reason, and if it cannot be obtained, it not only means that there is no chance this time, but also no chance to obtain it again in the future.
Although from the perspective of candidates, the difficulty and significance of the examination are much greater than those of the palace examination, but after all, the examination only determines who can obtain the qualification to participate in the palace examination, and will not obtain the literary name.
When Ji Ning was waiting for the release of the list, he didn't want to participate in some social activities, but in fact, Ji Ning also wanted to see what the real "palm dance" looked like.
The palm dance he knows is danced by Zhao Feiyan, although it is not danced on the palm of a person's hand, but what is presented is also a light dance.
Ji Ning knew that in the two days before the palace test was released, the atmosphere of the scholars in the capital must be very impetuous, perhaps the appearance of this cloud dance was to add another fire to this impetuous atmosphere.
Yun Wu's identity is not an ordinary lady, nor is she the daughter of a small family, to be precise, she is a person who walks the world on a flower boat, to put it bluntly, she is a "famous prostitute".
Such a woman can be possessed by the powerful, and there must be a powerful person behind her, Ji Ning also knows that this kind of woman can't be approached, as if he won't get close to Liu Rushi, he will stay away from such a woman, and it is likely that behind this cloud dance is a powerful woman who comes as a "benefactor", or even a woman released by the powerful to achieve some political goals.
It was difficult to resist the hospitality, Ji Ning really wanted to see it again, so he didn't refuse, and directly agreed to Han Yu and Tang Xie to go and see it together that night.
……
……
In addition to Ji Ning and others who want to see the palm dance of Yun Wu, there are many scholars in the capital who want to go with them.
But this invitation, it is clear that it is an invitation to people who cannot have the name of Jinshi, and the number of invitations is limited, nominally this time it is Yunwu to feast, and the invitations are also free, but because the number of invitations is limited, some people began to sell invitations in the capital.
This is also the person behind the Cloud Dance who knows how to market, and the name of the invitee is not written on the invitation, so that all the invitations are universal, and some invitations are released as bait first, and then some invitations are sold, which may make more money than selling invitations directly, and this will not be true, and by the way, it can make the reputation of Cloud Dance.
Even Ji Ning knows that in order to be an instant hit in the capital, this cloud dance must perform his stunt "palm dance", only in this way will others feel that this "ticket price" is very worthwhile, and in the future, if there is any invitation or performance in cloud dance, someone will participate.
And this time, there were also Zhao Yuanqi and Zhao Yuanxuan brothers and sisters.
The two of them walked to Huiyuan Building, and before they arrived at Huiyuan Building, Zhao Yuanxuan was complaining, and said: "What is Huiyuan Building, this name is not good at all, why not call it Zhuangyuan Building directly?" ”
Zhao Yuanqi said: "Sister, do you know that there are more than a dozen champions in the small capital alone, doesn't such a name seem very tacky?" ”
"Cheesy?" Zhao Yuanxuan smiled coldly and said, "I think Huiyuanlou is cheesy, not as good as the champion, even if you can pass the Huiyuan exam, if you can't get the champion, isn't that equivalent to a vain exam?" ”
Because what his sister said was really a bit tricky and mean, Zhao Yuanqi frowned and said: "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you mean something else, it won't be talking about Ji Ning, right?" He won the exam, what does it have to do with you? ”
"Me!" Zhao Yuanxuan wanted to say something, but in the end, he hated and kept silent, and the brother and sister finally arrived at Huiyuan Tower with the guards.
Huiyuan Building, not a teahouse or a wine shop, but a place like a theater, here on weekdays there will be a theater troupe from the north to the north to perform, the repertoire is very simple, but with local characteristics, in the capital this kind of magnate is very much, and the need for spiritual level entertainment life in the ancient metropolis, there are still many people willing to come here to listen to the play.
Because the troupe is not raised by Huiyuanlou, those troupes are all attached to Huiyuanlou to perform, once the performance is not good, they will be driven away, or some of the performances are good, people will not stay in the capital for a long time, and soon leave the capital.
This is very similar to the model of the Grand Theater of later generations.
As for this day, Yun Wu contracted the venue, a theater, can always accommodate more guests than those small teahouses and restaurants, can seat 180 people at a time, plus the cost of banquets and refreshments, in fact, this is also a lot of expenses, but compared to the profits from selling invitations, these expenses are nothing.
Zhao Yuanxuan followed his brother, and after the invitation card was checked, the two walked to the Huiyuan Building.
At this time, it was just nightfall, and there were not many people in Huiyuan Tower, most of these people were people who had failed to make the list, because the palace test had just ended, and many tributes had not received a temporary notice, so that they didn't know that Yun Wu had arrived in the capital, and it was also related to the fact that these tributes had basically been studying behind closed doors for a period of time before.
In fact, the cloud dance to the capital, very early in the publicity, this cloud dance to the capital, also related to the four seas to the court, taking advantage of the capital exotic Fanbang people, but also the most lively time in the Beijing entertainment industry, for many days, there will be a national dance performance in the Western Regions in the capital, and the ticket price is not high, many middle and upper class scholars want to enjoy it.
"It's not a big deal!" After Zhao Yuanxuan entered, when he arrived on the second floor, he didn't even have a fixed seat, and whoever came early could sit in the front position, and there were more choices.
At this time, there are no drinks and dishes on the table, just some simple melon and fruit snacks, many of which are still preserved fruits, and you don't need to spend too much money at a glance.
Zhao Yuanqi ignored his sister, he was looking around, wondering if anyone he knew was coming.
Zhao Yuanqi was originally from Jinling, and there were not many ordinary scholars he knew in the capital, so he searched for a long time, and only now that the three people who just came in downstairs were very familiar, it was Ji Ning and others.
"Yongning! Over here! Zhao Yuanqi shouted from upstairs.
Ji Ning and Tang Xie were still talking, but when they heard the voice, they raised their heads, and when they saw that Zhao Yuanqi's brothers and sisters were present, not only Ji Ning, but even Tang Xie and Han Yu also felt a headache.
