Imperial Exam Daily

After seeing the house, Yang Ye went back to help make pastries. Because the number of people participating in the banquet exceeded the expected number of people, more pastries had to be made. Since the reputation has spread, the pastries must be managed, otherwise the pastries will It was eaten up early, which made people laugh for no reason.

In addition to pastries, he also plans to prepare some other snacks, such as melon seeds, peanuts and nuts, which are very common, so it is not a problem. As for tea, Li Cheng said that there are many good teas at home. Provided, he also let him go.

He was thinking about what else he could make, and Axi suggested: "Don't always have cold food, it's already cold in this season, but, you can make some dumplings and glutinous rice balls."

Yang Ye was quite touched, so he asked Axi to make dumplings of several flavors, and he made many glutinous rice balls with pastry fillings, such as red bean paste fillings, rose sauce fillings, etc., prepared in a short time Snacks can be described as very rich.

The banquet was held at four o'clock in the afternoon. Early in the morning, Li Cheng brought four or five servants over to get pastries to decorate. The day was sunny after several days of gloom, and it didn't feel cold in the garden.

There are six or seven large and small tables in the garden, and various pastries are placed among them. When the time comes, guests can walk around and talk in turn, without setting a fixed position.

As soon as lunch was over, scholars began to come one after another. Because they didn't prepare invitation cards in advance, lest someone who didn't sign up would sneak in. Wen Han came to help early, and he acted as a welcome at the door, while greeting People, while registering the people who come.

Scholars are very particular about punctuality, and all the people will come before the hour. Yang Ye will let everyone sit around and taste all kinds of cakes. You can choose your favorite cakes or paint or write poems. random.

It was the first time for the scholars to participate in such a comfortable banquet, and they felt it was strange, but they couldn’t help but taste the delicious pastries. You must know that they had never seen many pastries before. They all started to move, wandering around, tasting cakes, and sipping tea.

Even the serious old master ate the sweet cakes on weekdays, and the sullen expression on his face was reduced a bit.

During the first two quarters of an hour of the banquet, everyone was obsessed with tasting the cakes, talking about the appearance and taste of the cakes, and some were really intoxicated and casually recited a few poems in praise. After all, very few people really put their minds on painting and writing poems.

Yang Ye was not in a hurry, after spending half an hour with the guests, he went to the kitchen, where Axi and Li's servants had already started cooking glutinous rice balls and dumplings.

When kneading the noodles, Yang Ye mixed vegetable juice in it, the glutinous rice balls were green when they were made, white and green intertwined, it looked very good when scooped into a bowl, and the servants of Li's mansion said it was fresh.

After the glutinous rice ball dumplings came to the table, the novelty of tasting pastries for the scholars passed away, and they just sat down to eat the warm glutinous rice ball dumplings.

"This banquet is worth coming, it's really elegant."

"Yang Xiucai really arranged everything properly. I haven't had enough pastries this morning, and there are glutinous rice balls."

"Try it quickly, this stuffing is very different!"

Everyone started eating lively again.

Ah Xi stood at the door and looked outside, seeing that they were all full of praise, he was also very happy, waiting for the servants to deliver all the dumplings and glutinous rice balls back, he said: "There are still a lot left. , you share it and try it too."

"Thank you, Fulang!" Although the servants work in the Li family, they have eaten good food, but after all, they are servants. How can they have such a privilege to eat good food with the banquet on weekdays? The master who met, quickly said Xie Huanxi and ran to the kitchen to eat glutinous rice balls.

When Yang Ye came back, he saw the young man standing at the door, and he went up to hold his hand: "Let's meet everyone in the garden."

A Xi frowned: "I still can't, I'm covered in flour, I'm out of manners."

Yang Ye touched the corner of his clothes: "Where did the flour come from? Even if there is flour, our Axi is also liked by others, and it is not rude."

Ah Xi looked at Yang Ye, the scholar's face was full of encouragement, he didn't seem to be coaxing him, he was glad that Yang Ye recognized him and was willing to put him on the bright side, but he was worried that he was not good enough.

"Yang Xiucai! It's rude to hide in the corner during the banquet, but don't forget that you are the host today!"

Li Cheng shook the fan and saw the two of them with sharp eyes.

Yang Ye chuckled, and grabbed Axi's shoulder: "Okay, let's go there."

Ah Xi had no choice but to follow Yang Ye's footsteps. When they returned to the garden, the scholars had had enough of their mouths and had already started writing poems, paintings and articles. Kung Fu introduced Axi to several masters.

All the scholars in the classroom have seen Axi. After all, he comes to deliver meals every day. When studying at noon is boring every day, when the stomach is empty, looking up and seeing the beauty outside the classroom, although it belongs to someone else, it relieves a lot of boredom. , so the scholars in this classroom were very impressed with Axi, and now seeing Yang Ye bringing someone out, they all went to salute and say hello.

Axi nodded back one by one, saying very little.

Yang Ye apologized and said, "My husband is shy, please don't take offense."

Who doesn't want their wife to be restrained in front of outsiders? If she marries a shrew or a tricky brother, it will be a crime. Although these words are for my husband, it is really a compliment. Everyone laughed. Silent, envious of the love between the two.

Li Cheng waved his folding fan and stood in front of Wen Han: "Wherever Ah Xi is, Yang Ye never closes his mouth, and his eyes can't fall anywhere else, and he is not afraid of people saying that he is indulging in his children's affairs. Think ahead."

Wen Han glanced at Li Cheng's fan, smiled and shook his head, the two of them were nothing more than half-hearted, and neither of them had the nerve to say the other: "Brother Yang and Brother Li each have their own love, it can be said to be a good thing, and Brother Li also loves each other. Don't make fun of Brother Yang. Brother Wen's painting skills are superb, why don't you pick up a brush?"

Li Cheng raised his eyebrows, looked at the pair of Bi people wandering in the garden, and raised the corners of his mouth inexplicably: "Okay, come on."

After Yang Ye introduced Ah Xi to a few acquaintances alone, he introduced it to everyone in a general way, but it was not too difficult for Ah Xi. Originally, he thought that this kind of scene would make Ah Xi very restrained, but it made him feel uncomfortable. Surprisingly, Ah Xi was very generous. Although he didn't talk much, he was polite and didn't feel petty. Some teachers even asked Ah Xi which family he was from in the county.

He was very relieved, and when he wanted to send Axi to rest, an untimely voice suddenly sounded.

"Yang Xiucai is a talented person with outstanding talent. He got No. 2 in the middle school examination in one fell swoop. Fu Lang also looks like a fairy. He must be able to catch Yang Xiucai's eyes. Apart from beauty, there must be something extraordinary that attracted Yang Xiucai. Otherwise, the two of you won't be so affectionate and envious of others, so you might as well let your husband show it to everyone, so as to open everyone's eyes."

Yang Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the speaker, who was Qin Mi who entered the classroom later.

"Mr. Yang, don't be reluctant, just hide it from everyone."

Qin Yan deliberately let go of his tone, and his tone was quite hearty, as if he knew that Ah Xi would be talented, so he made a proposal specially to praise Yang Ye. The scholars who don't know why are not sure about the situation, and they will introduce their wife to everyone , there should be something on his body, so he agreed with Qin Mi and asked A Xilu to do it.

Ah Xi knew that it was difficult to ride a tiger now, if he said that he knew nothing, it would undoubtedly make everyone feel that Yang Ye was superficial, selected people based on their looks, and married him only because of his beauty, and that he was nothing more than an empty bag.

There was a smile in Yang Ye's eyes, but he couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes. He looked at Qin Min and said, "Qin Xiucai made things difficult on purpose. My husband is already shy. It's not intentional to ask him to show his talents in public. Make him uneasy, I am soft-hearted, but I can't see myself uneasy."

Qin Mi didn't give in, laughed a few times, looked around at the scholars and said cheekily: "Look at Yang Xiucai, he's too short-sighted, all present here are familiar friends who don't look up and look down, in front of our own people How embarrassing it is to show off. If Yang Xiucai is a high school student in the future, all the dignitaries will be at the banquet. At that time, your husband will not be able to avoid showing off because of his restrained temper. Why not get used to it earlier, and practice makes perfect in the future. Everyone said Yes or no?"

Yang Ye's fingers clenched tightly, his eyes dimmed, and Ah Xi quickly held his hand through his sleeve, with a gentle smile on his face: "Qin, what Qin Xiucai said is true, but I've always heard that women who have no talent will be ignorant." If you think about the words of Shide, if you think about women, you should uphold it, and you will be lazy and neglect your studies during the day, and your husband will let me do that too."

"But my husband is a scholar, if I don't know it at all, then, after all, it's rude. Now that Qin Xiucai wants to see me show my clumsiness, then, then I will make a fool of myself."
