6. How much is the banquet fee?
Several girls with scattered hair and red makeup were messy. When they heard the call, they climbed to the window railing, half open their sleepy eyes and looked down:
"Standing in front of Chu Niang's house is Dou Xique. Who doesn't know about this Pingkang? Who is the young master standing opposite?"
Then the sound from the crowd made them all know, "It turned out to be the senior year drum, and the senior year drum Mao was Dou Xique. Could it be to fight for Chu Niang?"
"Senior High School Drum, Senior High School Drum... This name seems to be familiar... The head hurts so much that I can't remember it." After hearing this, the drunk man picked up the rhinoceros horn cup with half of the wine left and staggered to himself.
"Gao Yue, you a poor house, what are you going to do? I hope you will give me a reasonable explanation today! Otherwise..." Dou Shen could no longer hold back his rage and shouted, and blue veins bloomed on his forehead.
At this moment, Chu Niang pulled the spring shirt and shawl and hurried out, her hair was a little messy, her eyebrows and eyes looked at Gao Yue, who was dressed in a fresh and fresh manner, and then looked at the horse hoof gold hanging on his belt. Then her eyes turned a few times, then she grabbed Dou Shen and said, "This Gao Langjun is so ignorant. Knowing that Dou Lang is here, he dares to come to Fangling..."
While speaking, Chu Niang did not forget to pose in front of everyone. She knew that two men were fighting for her openly, which was the best opportunity for a big broadcast of a famous name.
As a result, before Chu Niang finished speaking, Gao Yue shook his head and paused word by word, "Sorry, I said that I will give you horse hoof gold. There is only one request. Please cut off the poems you and Yuan Ji could write on the color version of Wang Tuantuan."
This made Chu Niang very angry and embarrassed. She was about to have an attack, but was pushed away by Dou Shen and almost fell to the threshold. "Gao Tender, a thief from the north, a dog-eating slave!" Dou Shen was furious and pointed at Gao Yue and cursed continuously.
Gao Yue was calm and unhappy, but turned to Yuanzhou Po who was following him and continued to ask, "Auntie, can you satisfy the small wish of the senior year of high school? If so, the two gold medals will be sent to each other immediately. Wang Tuantuan is in pain, I hope you will not bully her again in the future."
Yuanzhou Po was frightened by the furious Dou Shen and looked left and right, so she could only drive Gao Yue away, "Your husband, go quickly, you really have no eyes, alas!"
"Who dares to listen to Gao Er's words today? Tomorrow I will tear this house apart apart without leaving any rafters!" Dou Shen jumped his feet repeatedly and spitted everywhere.
"So that's the case, it's not convenient for a long time for senior high school students here." Gao Yue smiled and bowed politely, then turned around and continued to bow to the crowd of Pingkangli who were crowded over and watched, "Please leave everyone! Next, I want to pay my respects to my confidante in the third year of high school, so you don't have to follow me."
This made everyone's curiosity even more intense, so prostitutes, benefactors, wonderful guests, women and children were in groups, umbrellas, calf cars, and flags were crowded, and they followed Gao Yue, who was striding in big shots, and walked straight to the corner of the wall.
Looking from the intersection of Beiqu Street, along the walls, there were rows of dilapidated houses. An old man squatting there. Gao Yue stepped forward and bowed politely, and then asked on purpose, "Do you dare to ask your father-in-law, where is the home of Beiqu King Tuantuan?"
"What Tuantuan?" the old man roared with his ears and shouted loudly.
"Wang Tuantuan."
"What group of kings?"
"Wang Tuantuan."
"What's the royal group!?"
After finally "asking it clear", Gao Yue walked up to the door of Wang Tuantuan's house. He could clearly see the big locust tree beside her house.
Before he could knock on the door, Wang Tuantuan pulled the door open and looked at Gao Yue with a surprise look.
Seeing Tuantuan running out, the onlookers made a loud noise and talked a lot, "It seems that people should not behave like a person. This senior high school drum is attracted to this person, which shows that Wang Tuantuan must have outstanding features!"
"I'm so touched. It turns out that feelings can really surpass appearance!" Many sentimental advocates couldn't help but start to wipe their tears.
"I, I can't help but recite poems!" Many literati Yakes also began to shake their heads.
"I took the liberty to go to Fangling here, just to ask Tuantuan, I wonder if Tuantuan could enjoy the glory at the Qujiang meeting, and if I could ask Yang Miaoer to know the Tuantuan as the Tuantuan at the Qujiang meeting?"
When the audience heard the name "Sweeping Banquet", they were even more amazed.
It turned out that the Tang Dynasty had a very famous custom, which was to hold a grand "Qujiang Banquet" when flowers were blooming in March. However, the earliest Qujiang Banquet was the frustrated candidates who gathered at Qujiang to hold a "collar warm-up banquet", which is "defeat and cold-up". The meaning of frustration is to be frustrated: eat and drink together, and then throw all the wine cups over the mountains to eliminate bad luck and to achieve success in the coming year. But then the Jinshi who passed the exam also took a look at the beautiful scenery of Qujiang and came to gather for the banquet. Soon the second one was embarrassed to stay there. After all, the people were proud of the spring breeze. The dignitaries in Chang'an City were all in a car to choose the Dongshou Kuang son-in-law, not to see a group of losers who were short of the exam.
Now, Gao Yue clearly demanded that the "restrained banquet" in Taofenpeng should be held, and the same location as the Xinjidi Jinshi. Is this to compete with each other or to bring shame to himself?
Soon, among the hundreds of people in Pingkangli, they all became very interested in Gao Yue's feast.
Gao Yue turned around and said to everyone, "On March 3rd, the banquet will be held on the side of Longhuani Temple in the north mountain of Qujiang. Those who have nothing to do, please come."
Some people immediately expressed their willingness to support the show, but there were also considerable people who were more interested in the Xingyuan Banquet for the newly promoted Jinshi. After all, who would like to go to the banquet for the next person?
Gradually, the crowd dispersed and dispersed. Gao Yue was not angry or anxious. Instead, he stood in front of Wang Tuantuan's door with a smile and watched everyone leave. No matter what, after today's "make a big fuss in Pingkangli", Taofenpeng's reputation will soon spread more widely - his purpose has been partially achieved.
Then in the small courtyard of Wang Tuantuan's hall, Yang Miaoer and several core members of the female club also arrived. When Gao Yue placed two horse hoof gold on the stone table, Wang Tuantuan and Yang Miaoer both shook their heads, "Your two golds are about 60 or 70 stakes, but do you know how much the cost of the Apricot Garden Banquet that was the first Jinshi?"
Gao Yue said there is geometry.
Yang Miaoer said that even if we don’t want Langjun’s tea and fruit money and are obliged to help, the scale and momentum that Langjun can make with this money is still a small matter compared to the Xingyuan Banquet.
Then Yang Miaoer gave Gao Yue an account of the Apricot Garden Banquet:
First, the money for the Qujiang Xingyuan Banquet was drawn by five Jinshi, each of whom was 50 staked for the bottom, and then the Jinshi below the head was required to pay 30 stakes for "collecting money for the banquet" and 10 stakes for the "drawing money for the name" - In this way, the Xingyuan Banquet, which was famous in Beijing, costs at least 800 to 1,000 stakes! The musician who played music for the banquet alone would have to pay 1,000 stakes every day. If it was a candle (night party), the reward would be doubled.
