Chapter 301 Wen Wedding Banquet

The emperor handed over this batch of new scholars to Xiao Yichen to arrange.

This dynasty has regulations that the top three in the first and second grades are appointed by the emperor himself.

In addition, potential young talents with outstanding talents are selected from the top two and top three and awarded the status of Shujishi. They first study in the Hanlin Academy for one year, during which they are taught by experienced officials of the Hanlin Academy and imparted various knowledge. After one year, those who pass the assessment Official positions are then conferred.

This year, because the Zhenguo Gong Party had fired many officials, there was a shortage of heads of the six ministries, censors, and local officials. The emperor decided to give them ten days of special training, and after assessment, they would be awarded official positions.

Therefore, this group of new Jinshis is the luckiest group. In previous years, the same Jinshis had to wait for several years before the vacancies were filled. This year, everyone has an official position.

There is no rule in this dynasty that people who do not join the Imperial Academy do not join the cabinet. Feng Zhanglin is smart, tactful and resourceful. He is Xiao Yichen's choice for the first assistant. He was directly sent to a county in northern Xinjiang as the county magistrate.

Northern Xinjiang is close to Tatar, so Xiao Yichen has to leave some of his officials there. Moreover, the place is barren and it is easy to achieve political achievements. After a few years of experience, you can be transferred back to Beijing.

He Xinyuan was sent to the southwest as a county magistrate, Zhu Wanfeng stayed in the Hanlin Academy, Liao Taoyu went to a county in Fujian as a county magistrate, and the others were scattered across the country as seventh- or eighth-rank officials.

Xiao Yichen was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, while Shen Jia and the Crown Princess were walking hand in hand on the path of the palace.

A satisfied smile appeared on the Crown Princess's face, "Jia'er, the Emperor asked us to organize the wedding banquet. Do you have any rules?"

Shen Jia turned his head slightly and looked at her with a smile, and said with a smile: "I have a few new ideas and I am just going to discuss them with my mother and concubine."

"Come on, let's go to the pavilion and talk while drinking tea."

"it is good."

Youyahuan immediately brought the stove, tea sets and other items, and Shen Jia was secretly impressed by her speed.

She secretly looked at these maids. They all had beautiful features, slim figures, and clear eyes. And he is well-trained, and he can understand what his master needs with just one look and movement. Um! good.

Shen Jia washed his hands to show his piety, boiled water in a small stove, divided the tea, and made tea.

The Crown Princess held her cheek and looked at Shen Jia. She was dressed simply and decently today, with a calm face. Every move she made making tea was so graceful, poetic and picturesque, as beautiful as a blooming flower.

How wonderful that such an outstanding woman is her daughter-in-law!
Suddenly, the fragrance of tea overflows.

"Concubine, please have tea!"

The Crown Princess picked up the tea cup, opened the tea lid, and admired the tea leaves stretching in the water, like green elves dancing in the water. The fresh fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of her nose. She took an elegant sip. The tea fragrance lingered, leisurely and contented, with endless aftertaste.

"Good tea! I didn't expect that in addition to being good-looking, good in martial arts, and superb in medical skills, Jia'er is also an expert at making tea. Chen'er is lucky." The Crown Princess praised.

The greatest advantage of the Crown Princess is that she listens to advice. Ever since she figured it out, she has treated Shen Jia as her own daughter. In this way, she will have her own filter when looking at everything Shen Jia does. Her own daughter is good everywhere.

Now the more she looks at it, the more she likes Shen Jia. Shen Jia is both her daughter-in-law and her daughter. As her daughter is capable, she, as a mother, is naturally happy.

"Thank you, concubine, for the compliment."

"Jia'er, if you have any suggestions about holding a wedding banquet, just put it forward and we will discuss it together."

Shen Jia clenched her fist to hold the smile on her lips. The Crown Princess was becoming more and more invisible.

"Okay!"

The two of them talked about how to hold a banquet while drinking tea, and they didn't stop until lunch.

Xiao Yichen had lunch with the emperor in the palace. Only Shen Jia and the Crown Princess had lunch in the palace.

After the concubine asked what Shen Jia liked to eat, the lunch table was filled with her favorite dishes. It was obvious that the Crown Princess really cared about her.

After lunch, the Crown Princess wanted to rest, so Shen Jia said goodbye to the Crown Princess: "Mother, I'm going back first."

The Crown Princess held her hand reluctantly: "In the future, when you have time, you must come to the palace to talk to your mother and concubine often."

"I will." Shen Jia nodded.

In fact, Shen Jia really wanted to invite her to the Duke Protector's Mansion, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. The Crown Princess is the king and the Gu family is the minister. It is difficult for them to be best friends who talk about everything now.

It would be better if they get to know each other later and visit again.

When Shen Jia returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion, she plunged into her own small study and wrote a detailed plan.

Early the next morning, Shen Jia came to the palace and went with the princess to Yilan Garden, where the banquet was held.

In fact, Guanglu Temple started preparing for the wedding banquet in the spring of March. However, the emperor had to personally supervise the royal family every time to show that he valued the imperial examinations and attract talents. Therefore, the scale of the wedding banquet was almost the same as the annual banquet.

Shen Jia took a look at the layout of Guanglu Temple. Some places that were too flashy were removed and replaced with elegant and dignified items.

The junior official who directed Guanglu Temple placed flowers at the entrance as she requested. After a while, eight large flower characters with the words "Inscribed on the gold list, bright future" appeared in front of everyone.

This is a blessing to the three hundred new scholars.

Gu circled around the eight big characters twice, held Shen Jia's hand excitedly, and said, "Jia'er, this is so beautiful and has a good meaning. How did you do it?"

The Minister of Guanglu Temple also looked at Shen Jia eagerly. He also wanted to know how Princess Huguo turned flowers into large characters, but he did not dare to ask.

Shen Jia's eyes flashed, could she say this was a small trick? During the Chinese New Year and festivals in previous lives, which city didn’t have such flowers placed in its square?
"Mother, this is actually very simple. You just need to place the flowers according to the shape and structure of the characters..."

The minister of Guanglu Temple suddenly became enlightened and slapped his forehead fiercely, "That's right! Why didn't I think of that!"

The next few people also placed flowery words in other places such as "The country is strong," "Serve the country with loyalty," "Love the people like sons," and "Remain true to our original aspirations."

When the emperor and Xiao Yichen received the news, they even stopped handling government affairs and rushed to Yilan Garden in a carriage to see what was going on.

When Shen Jia saw an old man and a young man sneaking out, his head was covered with black lines and he was speechless.

"Girl Shen, this is a good idea." After the emperor read it over, he nodded with satisfaction. As expected of his grandson-in-law, she is very smart.

These flowers and big characters are good-looking at first, but they plant the seeds of serving the country and the people in the hearts of these new scholars who have just entered the officialdom, allowing them to always remember the big characters at the wedding banquet that day.

Shen Jia saluted and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Huang, for the compliment! It's a small skill, but it's not worth mentioning."

Xiao Yichen looked at her with a smile in his eyes, and secretly shook her hand with his sleeve when others were not paying attention.

They came and left just as quickly, and within two quarters of an hour they were riding back to the palace in a carriage.

Shen Jia showed the plan written yesterday to the Minister of Guanglu Temple and the Crown Princess. The three of them discussed it together for nearly two hours before Shen Jia and the Crown Princess left Yilan Garden.

Three days later, the wedding banquet officially began.

From the morning, the palace maids and servants came in and out of Yilan Garden, and until evening, three hundred new scholars, important officials of the court and their families arrived one after another.

The large characters of flowers that came into view shocked everyone, and they all became very excited about poetry. One by one, they began to recite poems and make poems, and then gathered around to communicate with each other. (End of chapter)
