One thousand two hundred and sixty-three chapters: ritual collapse and music collapse(1/2)
Mao Ji is in the journey.
His appearance caused a sensation.
Because many gentry and scholars nearby came.
There are as many as hundreds of people.
These people are almost the real "people" in Changping County. They influence all the industries closely related to Changping County and can even affect the decisions of the county magistrate.
When they learned that His Majesty had a banquet, they suddenly felt gloomy.
Obviously, this is a grand event for them.
People are walking outside and looking forward to it.
They all waited for Mr. Mao Ji.
When Mao Ji got off the carriage, he looked up and looked at the black man.
There are scholars with the imperial court, gentry, and scholars with Lunguo Rushan.
He smiled and immediately triggered a warm response.
"Mr. Mao Ji, you're polite."
"Mr. Mao, please."
Under Yang Ping's guidance, Mao Ji walked slowly. When he was walking outside, eunuchs had already been waiting.
The eunuch said, "Your Majesty has an oral order, and ask all officials and all local gentry to attend the seat."
So, everyone entered in a row.
The entire Houya has been renovated and many mansions have been directly opened.
Emperor Hongzhi sat high above.
But the influx of hundreds of people still made the place look frustrated. It was a banquet, but there was no table. Everyone had to sit on the ground, and the crowd was full of people.
Aren't you invited to a meal?
Where is the wine and the food?
No table?
What to eat here?
Everyone, look at me, let me see you.
Emperor Hongzhi had a plan in front of him.
He smiled and looked around. Beside him, Fang Jifan and Xiao Jing stood up, smiling at everyone who came in.
Fang Jifan was still a little confused about His Majesty’s thoughts.
But that doesn't matter.
He is happy to see any results that will happen next.
Emperor Hongzhi's eyes fell on Mao Ji.
He had an impression of Mao Ji.
Mao Ji had a companion experience in Hanlin Academy.
Emperor Hongzhi quickly fell on other gentry.
He saw a familiar person.
Zhao Yi!
Zhao Yi obviously noticed something.
He smiled when he came in. He could be given a banquet by the emperor, which was enough to make him boast about his whole life.
Zhao Yi's face was flushed, but when he looked up, he saw Emperor Hongzhi, he looked familiar.
Of course, he didn't dare to think deeply.
It just seems familiar.
Because Emperor Hongzhi had changed into a formal crown robe, although he felt it was familiar, Zhao Yi would never associate the supreme emperor in front of him with the scholar passing by.
To be honest, he was a little nervous.
He quickly lowered his head.
Follow everyone and give a big gift.
"Peaceful, there is no need to be too polite." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "I came to Changping for fame. I have heard that Changping has a prosperous literary style and is so spectacular. Today I call the ministers here to see a few things."
The head was silent.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said, "Don't be reserved, come and pass on the dishes to everyone."
Xiao Jing understood and gave a wink at the eunuch.
A moment later, under everyone's expectations, countless eunuchs came in one after another. They took the food box, took out steamed buns from the food box, and began to distribute them.
Wowo…
A person is holding such a thing in his hand.
Confused.
And... this is not an ordinary nest.
In fact, wow waffles are common food in the north. Although they are eaten by ordinary people, rich families can occasionally eat them. For example, Liu Kuanfu, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, once said in the last chapter of "Seven Things in the Sun" and said "Aiwowo". A small note said, "Wow waffles are made of glutinous rice flour, which looks like Lantern Festival powder, with sugar fillings in it. Steamed and grated on it, and then made into a concave, so it is called Wow waffles.
Of course, the woo in everyone's hands is not as good as the woo as Liu Kuanfu noted. It looks like a litchi. It doesn't use candy as a filling inside. The candy is very expensive, and as for the outside, it won't be mixed with white flour.
This is a poor family made of steamed buns made of mixed grains. They use wheat that has not been completely shelled, and there is no filling, and of course, there is no sugar added.
Looks...it's so bad.
Emperor Hongzhi had taken a few, pinched them in his hand, put them in his mouth, and chewed them.
The taste is terrible.
There is even a strange smell of chaff.
Emperor Hongzhi chewed it carefully and swallowed it slowly, and continued to eat it.
Fang Jifan also posted one in his hand, looking at the nest speechlessly.
Others are not much better.
Someone will vomit after taking a slight taste.
Only Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have a great time eating, and soon, a nest was wiped out.
Everyone has heard that Your Majesty is stingy, see you today...
Mao Ji smiled and pinched the nest and started eating it.
"You guys, I am here to host a banquet to entertain you today. You don't have to be polite, it's delicious and delicious."
"Your Majesty gives food like nectar. I thank you for your Majesty."
Mao Ji answered like this.
The others were all stunned. Most of them were holding such a thing without making any noise.
Emperor Hongzhi looked up and said, "Eat, eat more, you must eat enough and drink enough."
Fang Jifan stood aside and thought to himself, could this be... this is the legendary slaughtered rice?
"Your Majesty..." Mao Ji spoke again.
He seemed a little ‘bold’.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and looked at Mao Ji, as if he was interested. He pinched the steamed bun that had been chewed in his hand and said, "But Aiqing Mao."
"That is, since I became a scholar, I have lived in Dayang Mountain. Today, I am loved by Your Majesty and summoned me to come here. I am very happy to see Your Majesty's health and health."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Mao Qing family, Mao Qing family, why did you leave with your crown? Why? But is there a hidden secret?"
"This is my ambition." Mao Ji smiled, and his manners were very polite, with a bit of a great demeanor: "Your Majesty, don't blame me."
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Everyone has his own ambitions, how can I blame you?"
Emperor Hongzhi always endures his feelings when encountering problems, and today, the same is true.
He said, "I have heard of your name again. People say that you have a great influence on preaching here. So, I will take a look. Today I call you and your local villagers here, and I want to hear what you think about the government."
Mao Ji said: "I dare not."
Emperor Hongzhi chewed the steamed bun and put his hand on his mouth to prevent the debris from falling down.
"There is nothing to dare or not. Since you are in Dayangshan, why don't you dare to say that when you come to me?"
"What does your Majesty want to hear?"
"It's okay if you have anything to say in the Qing family."
