Dress to be a celebrity

Under Principal Song's mediation, Hongxiu Tianxiang is still gone, but the school plans to hold a graduation ceremony for these graduate trainees.

The kind that invites all the students of the school and prefectures, famous Confucian scholars, famous scholars, and gifted scholars to participate.

"Brothers have completed the studies assigned by the Holy Majesty today, and left after consummating their achievements. Brother Huan and I must hold a 'graduation banquet' to celebrate you all. You brothers will be counted as my first graduates from this college in Hanzhong. In the future, students will be recruited once a year, and a group of students will be sent to graduate and leave every year..."

In the future, every year when the students' coursework expires, they will hold a graduation banquet just like today, to congratulate those students who have achieved success in their studies and can leave school to start their own careers.If there is someone who wins the middle school or Jinshi, another small banquet will be held to celebrate him.

The grown-ups who had just been taught by the censor of the capital to the point of scrutinizing their public heart for the country and the people suddenly felt the warmth of Hanzhong College from the chilling wind, and their faces brightened and stretched a little.

The academic system of Hanzhong University is good, students—just like them—study hard at school, experience the difficulties of workers and peasants, and once they graduate, they should hold a banquet to reward them!

The three members of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, had the most intense reactions when they heard the word "graduation banquet". If you study hard and succeed in your studies one day, you should hold a graduation banquet for them to celebrate and thank them for their hard work."

Originally, they only studied mathematics, physics, chemistry and equipment manufacturing. Since Beijing High School has issued an imperial decree asking them to learn how to lay out and plan an economic park, their studies have moved to industrial layout and scientific management...

Fortunately, there was a layout plan of the economic park here in the Song Dynasty, and a group of artisans among the refugees had to go back to Beijing with them to build gardens, build factories, fire kilns, make equipment, and manage workers. Otherwise, they would not be able to follow their colleagues this year. return to court.

They have endured countless hardships and pressures this year, and after returning to Beijing, they see that what they have to do is even more difficult. This banquet is a rare opportunity for them to relax... The three of them sighed for a while, and volunteered to do their best for this banquet. One effort.

President Song clapped his hands in reply, and said solemnly: "You virtuous brothers are envoys of the imperial court, with extraordinary status, and they are also the first graduates of my Hanzhong College. This graduation banquet must be held successfully. It is also the first time for Song and Huan I am afraid that there will be some shortcomings in organizing the graduation banquet, so I am asking you to help with the preparations."

Their Hanzhong College is a modern, healthy and sunny vocational and technical college that is not polluted by the vulgar atmosphere of feudal society. Naturally, at the graduation banquet, students should prepare their own talents and perform by themselves. Teachers and students have fun together!

President Song took the responsibility of himself, first of all, to celebrate the graduation of the first batch of students in the school, he personally made graduation certificates - after all, everyone was an official in the same dynasty, so the step of final examination was omitted, and the graduation certificates were issued directly .

Now that he has enough sulfuric acid in his hand, the printing technology can be upgraded to a new level, instead of mimeograph, he can directly engage in lithography.

When he was teaching students to carve wax plates in the Hanlin Academy, he used to apply wax on the wooden boards, so that the students could carve through the wax layer without damaging the wooden boards, so as to train the students to carve properly.Lithograph printing is also a similar technique, just replace the wooden board with fine lime board, coat it with a thin layer of wax, lay the draft on the wax layer, carve out calligraphy and painting, and then use sulfuric acid to etch away the parts that are not protected by the wax film. lithograph.

The concave stone surface corroded by sulfuric acid is rough and uneven, which can absorb ink.Wipe off the excess ink on the slate surface, then stick the paper on it, scrape it gently with a scraper, the ink contained in the depression will be transferred to the paper, and a clear and neat graduation certificate will be printed.

This method is a little more complicated than mimeograph, but the lithograph is not as easy to be engraved as waxed paper, the ink will bleed if it is slightly damaged, and it is easier to carve complex patterns.Therefore, when he carved the wax plates, he used extremely fine brushstrokes, and the stone plates could imitate calligraphy, and added some crape myrtle and moiré patterns on the edges, implying that he wished these people to climb the clouds and step into the pavilion.

Song Shi recalled the style of his graduation certificate back then. He bought it on pink Xuetao paper and printed it. The artist found the painting and painted the border of flowers and plants, and wrote the title with his own handwriting, praising his academic achievements.I also want to order a scarlet award case wrapped in silk and padded cotton, with gilt hot letters, making it more beautiful than the post to congratulate Shangguan during the New Year.

Lin Fang and Chang Shen were recruited by him to help them sum up their academic achievements, copy the short comments written by Principal Song and Vice Principal Huan under the printed certificates, and by the way, he was the first to meet them. diploma.

Very pleasantly surprised and very satisfied.

While copying the academic summary on the graduation certificate, Lin Fang said happily to another coolie, Changshu, "I just wanted to write poems and odes to commemorate this time when we parted, but now we can get Song Sanyuan's own writing." It is really a surprise to write such an elegant colored paper as a souvenir of the article and hand-printed it.”

Chang Shen didn't think it was hard, and said happily, "Only we have seen this graduation certificate, and let's not tell Brother He what they look like first, let them meet at the graduation banquet, and then we will be pleasantly surprised."

Of course, without mentioning the content, you can still boast about their impressions of the graduation certificate and whet everyone's appetite.

This "graduation certificate" is exquisitely made, and the essays written by the top scholar are also detailed. It will be a pleasure to keep it in the study room for viewing in the future, or share it with relatives and friends.When returning to Beijing to work, if anyone doubts it, you can show him this document printed by Song Sanyuan himself, so that he can know that they have studied hard for several months in Hanzhong Mansion!

Speaking of which... Mr. Song specially made this certificate, could it be that they have a certificate to prove that they have real talents and learning?

If this is the case, I would like to thank him for being willing to consider for them.

The two couldn't help but look at Song Shi at the same time, but hesitated to speak, turned around and saw that the other party had the same expression as their own, as if they had the same intentions, couldn't help smiling slightly, and each lowered their heads and continued to copy.

=============

Principal Song has to do work in the mansion everyday, so he can only bring two auspicious scholars to seal the graduation certificate; Vice Principal Huan is free to arrange his time as long as King Zhou does not move, so he brings the remaining few angels with him. Decorate the campus with the students of Hanzhong College's training class and prepare for the graduation banquet.

Regardless of whether these students were slender and frail before entering school, or were sickly, or arrogant and lazy since childhood... After entering school, they will do fitness boxing every day, and they will go to farmland and factories every few days. Grass-roots internship, I have been training for more than a year to be physically strong, and I have work in my eyes.

Because it was already deep winter, the graduation banquet was held in the school auditorium.Under the guidance of the instructors, the local students decorated the classroom with lights, laid out tables, chairs, pillows, and screens, and arranged a bare lobby full of flowers.

The officials who came to study also failed to escape, and were dragged by the vice principal to write some encouraging messages to the students.One banner for each person, and after finishing writing, frame them and hang them in every classroom.

Together with the parents of the students, they were alarmed by the news that Hanzhong College was going to hold a graduation banquet. They rushed to make new robes overnight, prepared gifts and silver coins to send off to the important officials of the imperial court, and gathered together for a parents' meeting to discuss whether to give them away. Wanmin Umbrella, please ask a few old people to "take off their boots and leave their love" for them.

Take it off, these adults are not close to the people, they just came to Fucheng to study with Lord Song; don't take it off, how can I let the angel Bai work and plant the land in Hanzhong Mansion for more than a year?

Everyone had their own reasons, and after arguing all afternoon, they finally decided to look for dozens of elders and give them a boot before leaving.

……

A few days later, the graduation banquet of Hanzhong University officially kicked off in the auditorium.The teachers of the whole school and the eleven students who will be graduating participated together. The two assistant officials of Hanzhong Prefecture and the magistrate of Nanzheng County were present as the leaders of the county. There were also students who had not yet graduated lying outside the gate, admiring through the glass window above. Looking at the hall full of officials, thinking about the scenery when he graduated.

All the generals, censors, and Yuanwailang have prepared their own talents and are ready to entertain guests and themselves at the banquet: some play qin music, some recite newly made poems, and some make calligraphy and painting on the spot...

The teachers who came to accompany the banquet also came off the stage to perform their skills.

These part-time teachers are still students in the school, and they are proud of being romantic, not as restrained as officials who have entered the court.Not only did they dare to play, play, and sing, but a few attached students ended up performing a song written by President Song, written by the outstanding graduates of this department, and vice-principal Huan specially hired musicians from his brother-in-law Zhou Wangfu to satisfy the head of the family. New Zaju:

I charged three or five buckets more.

Although the play was written very early, and it has been performed many times in the countryside before and after the wheat harvest, but now that they are about to graduate, they have to watch a drama that they personally participated in writing, and the feeling is different than usual.After the performance of this short play, I don't know how many poetic hearts have been touched, how many beautiful poems have been drawn out of parting sorrow and farewell.

New words and clever sentences are worthy of fine wine.

Just when everyone thought that the joy of the banquet was at its peak, Song Shi stood up suddenly, and said to everyone loudly: "Today is the time for all the virtuous brothers to graduate. In the future, brothers, you will return to Beijing. You have a great future, but you will never have another chance." I'm going back to this campus to be a classmate. Since that's the case, let Brother Huan and I call my classmate a few more times today—"

He waved his hand behind him, and several waiters brought out neatly folded graduation certificates.

Chang and Lin glanced at the cover of the red brocade, and a mysterious smile appeared on their faces.The censors and Yuanwailang sitting beside them were a little drunk, they didn't notice that they were smiling strangely, and they just tried their best to open their drunken eyes and look at the plate.

Song Shi stepped out of his seat, stretched out his hand to Huan Ling across the air, and then walked to the auditorium podium.Huan Ling got up at the same time as him, and stood beside him after taking the stage, and said to the students below: "Today, the students are officially graduating from Hanzhong College. As teachers, we have nothing else to give, so we will give you a 'graduation certificate'. To testify to the hard work of everyone in Hanzhong College, the Economic Park, and the experimental field.”

He took a certificate, handed half of it to Song Shi, and held the half by himself without letting go. Together with him, he looked down at the name printed on it, and said with a smile: "Lin Fangshang, the first graduate of Hanzhong College Please come on stage."

The two concubines helped to fill out the graduation certificate, and they must have the privilege to get the certificate first.

Lin Fang's heartbeat was slightly flustered, and he was half awake from the drunkenness. He stood up against the small table, quickly stepped onto the stage from the side steps, and bowed to the ground in front of the two principals and vice-principals——

We are all colleagues on weekdays, so there is no need to perform big rituals every day.But here and now, he suddenly misses his status as a student, misses the days when he only had to read books and do problems, and follow Song Sanyuan and Mr. Huan to do experiments, and earnestly salutes him.

Song and Huan each answered the salute, and he only received half the salute. He held the two men's arms and said with some emotion: "Although I came here by the order of the imperial court, we are destined to be a teacher and a student. Since the gentleman taught me knowledge, he should accept my teacher's gift."

He took the graduation certificate from the two principals and teachers, opened it and read it carefully, and was about to step off the stage holding the certificate.This time it was the turn of the two principals to stop him, and persuaded him with a smile: "Student Lin is the first graduate of Hanzhong College, how can he leave so easily? The juniors below are still waiting for you to tell them some academic experience. .”

He was slightly puzzled, but there was a burst of warm applause from the audience.Lin Fang looked back, but saw that many students had poured into the auditorium at some time, they were familiar with them, and the students who had worked with them in the factories and fields were applauding for him now, looking at him with envy and admiration. he.

This is probably the time he can teach the most students in his life...

Lin Shuchang felt a surge of enthusiasm in his heart, put his hands together for the certificate, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Since Mr. Song and Mr. Huan requested, I will tell you a little about the key points of treating "Yi"..."
