Originally, Qi Yu really didn't want to bring Andre to the Luming Banquet.
However, he couldn't bear this guy's pleading, so he had no choice but to agree because of his face.
Let me reward you first!
After Sarawak is completely surrendered, let's see how I can give you little shoes to wear.
For the sake of the grand cause of expanding the territory, I can only endure this momentary unhappiness.
In this way, the two of them, who seemed to be very good friends, came to the venue of the banquet together.
When I looked up, I saw lights and colorful decorations outside the door, and the interior was filled with brilliance. There was a joyful and rich atmosphere everywhere.
Faced with this situation, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh.
In a daze, it seemed as if he had returned to the scene when he participated in the Deer Ming Banquet when he won the exam.
At that time, I was still a hard-working boy from a poor family, dreaming of being nominated for the imperial examination and winning the first prize in the toad palace, so that my mother and wife could live a good life without worrying about food and drink.
But now, time flies by. Not only has he successfully entered the officialdom, but he has also grown into a feudal official who is in charge of the administration. His original dream has been realized.
Looking back at these past events, how can we not feel sad?
Putting away his thoughts, Qi Yu strode in with a kind smile.
"See Mr. Qi!"
"You talented people, please excuse yourself!"
"Thank you, sir..."
Admission begins.
Amidst the thunderous praises, Qi Yu walked up to the main seat while returning the greeting.
After that, Yu Hai and the officials in the ceremony room took their seats one after another.
Andre, who came with him, was quite conscious. He didn't need any special arrangements from the emcee. He took the initiative to find a corner and squat down.
The purpose of his coming here is actually not complicated. He just wants to take this opportunity to take a good look at the legendary deer roaring feast.
After sitting down, Qi Yu began to look around in turn.
Um……
The first place is Jieyuan, then Yayuan, Kuixing, Yakui, and so on.
It is not difficult to see from everyone's appearance that the age of candidates in this subject generally tends to be younger. I have to say, this is a very good phenomenon.
Thanks to the cultivation of the scientific education system, the days when Haoshou had difficulty in getting into college are gone forever.
With a happy mood, Qi Yu delivered a passionate speech in unscripted form.
"...I hope you will continue your efforts, reach a higher level, and contribute your strength to the construction of Qiongzhou, and even the entire China."
"We will definitely remember Master Qi's sincere teachings..."
After finishing his speech, Qi Yu immediately announced that the banquet had officially begun.
The first part is to recite the song of Deer Ming.
"Yo yo, the deer roars, eating the apples of the wild...Yo yo, the deer roars, eating the wormwood of the wild..."
This eternal masterpiece in "The Book of Songs Xiaoya" is once again being read passionately by the world at this moment. Every word in it is full of pride.
After reciting the Deer Ming Song, Qi Yu announced that he was entering the second part.
——Dance the Kuixing Dance!
How can a deer-crowing banquet be complete without a dance ceremony?
Qi Yu didn't show any pretense, he just took the lead and became the leader of the whole ceremony.
one two three four five six seven eight……
Tsk tsk, Mr. Qi's dancing posture is still so casual and natural, as if he just picked it up from scratch.
Perhaps, this is the legendary skill and clumsiness!
Next, we enter the third part of the etiquette - composing poems about the Deer Crying Banquet.
According to traditional rules, the first place Jie Yuan has to take the lead.
However, he took the initiative to give up this opportunity to show his face first to Mr. Qi.
"Principal, on such an elegant occasion, why don't you compose an impromptu poem to lead the way? It can also give us the opportunity to admire the supreme beauty of our day!"
"Well……"
This Jie Yuan's name is Tao Ci. It is said that he is a knowledgeable, elegant and talented man.
However, he didn't know that the flattery just now had caused Master Qi to be praised.
Qi Yu said that what he was least good at was composing poems and lyrics, and asked him to improvise. Wasn't he deliberately trying to embarrass him?
However, this did not stop Qi Dalang from adapting to circumstances.
He smiled and said: "Writing poetry is too formal, and it is not as natural as other themes. Instead of this, I improvised a couplet based on my imperial examination era. I hope you will appreciate it carefully and remember the bitterness and sweetness. , Cherish this hard-won good situation in front of you."
Make a match?
Of course!
Upon hearing this, Tao Ci quickly shouted in praise, and then said: "Principal, please recite, the students are all ears!"
Qi Yu nodded and recited: "The first couplet is: famine in the old year, firewood
With no money to rely on, I walked out of the crossroads, unable to get credit or borrow money. Many relatives and relatives stood by and watched, with no one to help in times of need. "
After a pause, he continued: "The second line is: I am lucky to be in this position. I have hope for food and clothing. I have won the title of the Five Classics. My surname is also famous. My name is also famous. No matter Zhang or Li Si, everyone comes to congratulate me. It's the icing on the cake."
It has to be said that this couplet is smooth and neat, with neat contrasts and full of elegance and charm.
In particular, its content corresponds to the nomination for admission, so it is very appropriate to use it in this situation.
However, no one applauded.
why?
Because, from this couplet, the examiners have already read the harsh conditions of the world during the imperial examination period of Master Qi, as well as the tendency of those who passed the imperial examination to follow the prosperity of the later generations.
The tone used was a special kind of sarcasm without any curse words.
It is not difficult to tell that compared to the era when his old man lived, Qiongzhou now is really comparable to paradise.
This is exactly Qi Yu's intention. He just wants to use this realistic method to educate students that they should cherish the life in front of them and don't forget the original harshness of the world because of the transition from frugality to luxury.
In short, educate them.
Because their arrogance just now made Qi Yu very uncomfortable, but the current situation was not suitable for severe criticism.
That's why he came up with such a way.
The benevolent sees benevolence and the wise see wisdom. They are all outstanding calligraphers with extremely high emotional intelligence. As long as they think about it a little, they can understand its connotation.
After a long time, the stunned talents suddenly burst into thunderous applause.
This couplet, like a wake-up call, directly had the effect of enlightenment, allowing them to instantly wake up from their incorrect sense of superiority and correct their learning attitude in a timely manner.
Objectively speaking, it has indeed benefited a lot.
Qi Yu naturally didn't know that in an inconspicuous corner, Guo Chunhai, who had come to have a meal, was sitting upright.
This was arranged by his mentor Luo Yuan.
It’s called Cengfan, but it’s actually an opportunity to broaden your horizons and increase your knowledge.
After Guo Chunhai heard the couplet, he immediately took out his pen and wrote an editorial on the spot, titled "Impressions of Watching the Deer Ming Banquet".
He firmly believes that once this article is published in Qiongzhou Daily, it will definitely eliminate the current unhealthy academic styles.
