Everyone's eyes looked curiously in the direction pointed by Li Jialangjun, this welcome guest is the first time everyone has come, and the cognition of welcoming guests is also hearsay.

Being in the middle of it now is full of novelty and curiosity for them.

At this time, in the middle of the stage to welcome guests, the waiters were arranging on the spot, and after a while, they removed the silk and bamboo instruments, moved a few square tables, laid out a white tablecloth, and prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the competition.

Every season will launch a calligraphy and painting talent competition at the end of the month, attracting many students and scribes from Jinling and other places.

In order to attract more outstanding students, Yingke will also invite contemporary famous scholars to comment every season, and even set up bonuses and gifts as rewards.

In addition to the famous Confucians, the critics on the scene will also select ten people from the students and scribes who came to welcome the guests as public commentators, and the score value of the public critics accounts for one-tenth of the total score value, which greatly increases the publicity and participation in the calligraphy and painting competition.

And not only the students and scribes of the competition will be rewarded, but even the students and scribes of the public review will receive exquisite gifts from the welcome guests.

Today, it's time to welcome guests to a season of calligraphy and painting competitions. The hall was full of people.

Even the corridors and aisles were filled with people watching the excitement.

This calligraphy and painting competition not only attracted a large number of people to welcome guests, but also won the favor of many literati and celebrities, and greatly enhanced the praise and popularity of Yingkelai inside and outside Jinling.

Nowadays, the literati love this kind of vassal elegance, and this move makes welcoming guests a double gain of fame and fortune.

I have to say that this welcomes guests to the master. He is truly a genius in the business world.

In addition to the good tea, good wine, good service and good reputation, this welcome has evolved into an elegant place for cultural and talent exchange in Jinling City.

No wonder there are rumors in the market that students do not come in to welcome guests. It is equal to Jinling City in vain.

It can be seen how lofty the status of welcoming guests is in the hearts of these literati.

"Cui Lang, do you want to go forward and give it a try. It's not hard to come out on top with your ability to welcome guests here. Another Li surnamed Lang Jun on the side coaxed.

"That's right, Cui Lang, if you come out on top in the welcome party, I heard that this lottery alone has a hundred taels of gold, and the top three works will be displayed in the welcome guest for a season."

"Is there such a good thing, not only with a prize money, but also with a personal work? Cui Lang. Don't miss out on this opportunity. Chen Jialangjun looked at Cui Yuan and said agitatedly.

"Yes, I heard that many award-winning works were bought at high prices afterwards, and many people were recruited by those famous Confucians. Then the future is even more limitless. It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. ”

Cui Yuan's heart was moved by what they said about Lang Jun, and recently in order to get close to Xue Qingshan, the Duke of Dingguo, he used up almost all his savings.

There is a shortage of money in hand, and there are not many opportunities for such a person to make money and make a name for himself.

He threw himself on Dingguo Gong. But now there is another opportunity for him to make a name for himself quickly. He won't give up easily.

At this time, Cui Yuan already had the idea of wanting to give it a try, but his face was not obvious at all.

"You really think highly of me Cui Yuan, how many academies are there in this Jinling City, how many celebrities and talents, how easy it is to come out on top, I won't go on stage to recruit jokes. I think I'm still here to chat with the big guys and just watch the excitement. Cui Yuan said modestly.

"Cui Lang. Don't be presumptuous, even Dingguo Gong has affirmed your talent. I also gave you pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Who would dare to laugh at you? ”

"That's right, Cui Lang, aren't you laughing at Dingguo Gong for having no vision? You should go up and let them see, there is still such a powerful person as you in this Jinling City? It also promotes the fame of our Jinling Academy. ”

"Don't you know that in our Jinling Academy this year, no one has won the grand prize in this calligraphy and painting competition, and they are laughed at by other academies. It's up to you whether you can clear up the humiliation this season. ”

Cui Yuan looked at the fine pen, ink and paper inkstone from Yipinzhai given by the Dingduity on the table, and smiled, "Okay, I'll go to the stage and give it a try." ”

The three of them said yes in succession, and boasted and flattered Cui Yuan, Cui Yuan was surrounded by these sweet words, although he was modest on his lips, he was proud in his heart.

has always been envied, admired, and flattered by everyone, this is the life he Cui Yuan wants to live.

Now there are only three people here, and in the future, he wants more people to welcome him, please him, and live by looking at his Cui Yuan's face.

At this time, the second brother brought a pot of rice wine, and seven or eight side dishes were also served on the table one after another.

Listening to the little second brother reporting the names of the dishes one by one, steamed kidneys, shrimp yuanzi, eight roasted chicken, hibiscus fish bones, Baizi winter melon, jade jade fan, and looking at the dishes on the table that are comparable to imperial meals, everyone's eyes widened.

Today is really a big eye-opener, and the dishes that welcome guests are really much better than other restaurants.

Not only is the name good, the variety is varied, the color, the fragrance, is even more mouth-watering.

The second brother poured wine for the four of them and retreated, and suddenly the thick aroma of wine overflowed on the table.

"Chen Jialangjun, welcome guests to gather today, it is really worth the trip, we thank you for your hospitality." Li Jialangjun raised his glass and said.

"Thank me, thank me, thank you and thank Cui Lang, today I gave him a celebration before I had a treat, so if you want to thank everyone, thank Cui Lang." Chen Jialang said.

"Yes, thank Cui Lang, we are stained with Cui Lang's light. Come, let's toast to Cui Lang. First, it is to celebrate that he has won the favor of Dingguo Gong, and second, we wish Cui Lang and others the first place in the calligraphy and painting competition. ”

"Yes, a toast to Cui Lang, with Cui Lang here, our Jinling Academy will be ashamed immediately."

Everyone began to tout at Cui Lang again.

This wine is a good wine, fragrant, strong and mellow, Cui Yuan was proud and drunk in the bursts of praise.

He picked up his glass and drank it to its fullest. After drinking, his white face was dyed red, as if he was drunk but not drunk, and he was very handsome.

Today, he was so happy. He enjoyed the wine in the cup, and enjoyed the smoky feeling of being flattered and flattered by the three gentlemen.

And then, he will go to the stage, enjoy more praise and flattery, he will be famous in welcoming guests, he will be famous in Jinling City, and in the future he will be famous in the entire Detai Empire.
