The location of the Baiguo Banquet is quite interesting. It is a spacious bright hall that combines the characteristics of a waterside pavilion and a pleasure boat. This hall is built on the lake, with four low walls and high windows, about five feet in length and width.
Except for the main entrance, which allows people to enter and exit, there are three rows of seats on each of the other three sides. Each row of seats has five long tables, and each table can seat three people.
In the middle of the bright hall, there is a round platform surrounded by a flower pond with a width of more than a foot, facing three sides. The round platform is not high and has a radius of more than ten feet. It is a place for performances.
What is planted in the flower pond is not flowers, but finely carved four-season ice flowers. The layers of petals of the ice flowers borrow the skill of ice lanterns to make the inconspicuous flower pond look colorful and particularly eye-catching.
Maybe the room temperature was still relatively high, but there was a hint of chill in the flower pond around the round stage, which added to the beauty of the stage.
Sheng Yuan and Anyu Lu Sheng filed in with the team. Since there were adults in the front and back of the team, they were the only three little people standing in the middle. Therefore, everyone was afraid of stepping on them, so they stood in front of and stepped back to leave room. Space.
However, Shengyuan and the other three did not notice everyone's kindness. Their attention was entirely on the Ming Hall.
The guide discovered this and felt relieved. After all, these three little ones were the only foreign guests attending the Baiguo Banquet this time. Regardless of the academy's requirements or his instinct, he had to pay special attention to these three.
He led Shengyuan and the other three people to sit in the front row facing the stage, and pointed at a lantern on the table and warned: "If the young lady needs to pay tribute, just light this lantern with a fire stick in the drawer. I will arrange for a maid to accompany you then."
Sheng Yuan and the other three nodded and said yes.
"puff!"
The sudden laughter made Sheng Yuan look over and saw several teenagers in their mid-fifteen or sixteen years old sneering.
"Sister Yuan, is he laughing at us?" Anyu looked a little awkward at the sight of the people on the left. He wanted to lose his temper but was afraid of affecting the atmosphere, so he couldn't help but shake Sheng Yuan's sleeves and muttered in a low voice.
Brother Sheng on the side also blushed. He was already five years old and could tell a good boy from a good boy. Naturally, he knew that the other party was laughing at them for being specially taken care of by the guide.
Sheng Yuan originally didn't care about such childish reactions, but her friends made them laugh uncomfortably, so she had to take it to heart.
Immediately, she put on a well-behaved look and looked at the guide, and said loudly with a sweet voice: "Don't worry, little sir, we are all grown children who can control ourselves. We can take care of ourselves. If we are like those who laugh at others at will, We’re just ordinary guys, and even the adults won’t let us come here by ourselves!”
"Hey!" The half-grown teenagers immediately became unhappy when they heard that Sheng Yuan was pointing at their noses. When he was about to argue, he saw three chubby little guys looking over.
Sheng Yuan looked at them, put her little hands on her hips, and raised her head to speak: "The sages teach gentlemen to be cautious in independence, but a few gentlemen wantonly laughed at children in public, showing no virtue of gentlemen. This shows that it is time to re-read the books of sages!"
"That's right! You're already rude, and you still have to fight back. This is adding insult to injury! Why are you glaring at us? You can't even listen to the teachings of sages!" Anyu immediately followed, imitating Sheng Yuan's posture with arms akimbo, domineering. He stared back, trying to open his eyes even wider.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Sheng answered quickly: "You want to hit someone, don't you? The three of us stand here and wait! Baizhou Academy, a scholarly place and a place for educating people, if I let you wait for bullying We don’t need to open it!”
The leader was already dissatisfied with those troublemakers. As soon as Lu Sheng said this, the color on his face became even worse. If the other party hadn't realized what was going on and muttered, rolled up his sleeves and sat away, he would have asked someone to take them away. Please get out.
Seeing each other's defeat, the three children in Shengyuan immediately folded their hands with joy and cheered in victory, happily sitting on their seats one after another.
The people watching were quite amused by the whole process. If the banquet wasn't so important, they would have wanted to surround these three festive dolls and make them talk.
Especially the few young people dressed as Confucian scholars at the head. They were about to stand up when those losers wanted to threaten the children. However, these three little guys jumped out faster than the other, and they themselves Solve the problem without giving them a chance to be heroes.
When everyone sat down and waited for the fruit to be served, they always unconsciously cast their eyes on the three little guys in the front row with their meaty meat.
Originally, Shengyuan wanted to sit outside because it was cheaper to get in and out, but Anyu and Brother Sheng tacitly agreed to leave the most spacious seat in the middle to her.
Well, that’s good too. I have a good friend on my left hand and a good friend on my right hand. How wonderful it feels!
Sheng Yuan looked at the table happily and saw that the table, which could accommodate three people, was divided into three parts by two arch bridge models as intervals.
There are three powder bags the size of hand stoves placed on each arch bridge for guests to use to wipe their hands before meals.
Sheng Yuan took out one and opened it, stirring it with her two little paws, letting the medicinal powder inside make her paws cool. After counting for a hundred times, she finally took her hands out.
Although it was her first time to use this unknown medicinal powder bag, she was not unfamiliar with it. She had been introduced to how to use it before, and she took note of it after listening to it. Unexpectedly, it was quite simple.
There is also a powder bag distributed to her on the table. It has not been touched and can be taken back.
"Sister Yuan, I must take it with you. This is not sold outside." Lu Sheng thought about his father mentioning this and was too busy to tell Sheng Yuan.
"Yeah!" Sheng Yuan nodded and thought to herself, even if she couldn't come up with a recipe after taking it home to study, she could still ask the system to help analyze it, and maybe a useful dry cleaning powder could be reproduced.
She doesn't make money from Baizhou Academy's medicinal powder, she just takes it with her family for her own use.
"Why aren't you getting snacks yet?" An Yu couldn't sit still at first, but when he heard people whispering behind him, saying that they had been waiting for a long time for snacks, he suddenly became irritated.
"Yes!" Lu Sheng also nodded. He almost wanted to stand up and take a walk. "Dad never mentioned that we have to wait so long for snacks before."
"..." Sheng Yuan raised her little head and looked back and forth, feeling something was wrong.
Does it take so long to serve dim sum?
Sheng Yuan murmured in her heart and looked at the table unconsciously.
Although the table is wide, there are plates containing pen holders, pen holders, paperweights, seals, and inkstones occupying one-third of the table.
"Huh?" Sheng Yuan stared at the Four Treasures of the Study boredly at first, but her nose was too sharp and she couldn't help but twitch.
"What's the matter, Sister Yuan?" Seeing Sheng Yuan's head almost touching the inkstone, Anyu hurriedly followed her, imitating Sheng Yuan's example and sniffling.
"Why are you doing this?" Although Lu Sheng asked, he also leaned over and smelled it.
Mmm, it smells so good!
I don’t know whether their actions were conspicuous or because some of them had sharp noses. Before Sheng Yuan could pick up the brush on the pen holder, someone shouted: "The pens, inks and papers on this plate are all snacks!"
