The so-called Yaji, that is, the social circle of the literati in ancient times, is similar to the cultural salon of later generations, but its importance is not the same. For example, the three major elegant collections that left their names for later generations, the Lanting elegant collection of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xiyuan elegant collection of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Yushan elegant collection of the Mengyuan Dynasty. You may not know Sun Sui, Xi Tan, Wei Peng, Sun Tong, and Li Chong, but you must know Wang Xizhi, Xie An, and the Preface to the Lanting Collection; You may not know Wang Xu, Li Zhiyi, Chao Buzhi, Chen Jingyuan, Wang Qinchen, but you must know Su Shi, Qin Guan, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian and "Xishan Yajitu"; You may not know about Gu, Yang Weizhen, Zhang Yu, Ni Yunlin, and Zhang Yun, but you must know Huang Gongwang, Wang Meng, Ni Zhan, as well as Zhang Wu and "Yushan Yajitu" in the Yuan Four Family. During the period from Yuan poetry to Zheng, one-tenth was completed in the best place of Yushan, and the scale can be seen.

In the final analysis, there are always a few talents in the sky, and the history is small and pointy, and there is no one in ten thousand who can leave a name in Danshu. Therefore, Yaji is more like a stepping stone, among them, you can jump into the dragon gate, worth a hundred times, you can sing poems and sing harmony, support each other, if you are lucky, you can hold some people's thick legs, and leave a name in history together.

Yaji is a circle, people outside want to go in, people inside don't want to come out!

With Xu You's reputation, even if the Yixing Xu family is still a wealthy family in Jiangdong, he is not qualified to participate in such a grand event. Now that the door of the house has collapsed, there is no name, let alone attending, and he is not even qualified to listen behind everyone.

Gu Yun wanted to pull him into the circle of literati, although he was kind, he took it for granted!

Xu You shook his head and said, "Feiqing, this is roasting me on the fire...... Believe it, show it to me! ”

"The letter is in the room, but it doesn't matter if Qilang looks at it or not, because I have already sent someone to reply to Gu Yun, this time Qiantang Lake Yaji, Qilang will definitely attend!"

Xu You was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "What is the reason? ”

"Literati, at least the martial arts contestants reassure the imperial court!"

Xu You was silent, and only after a long time sighed, and said, "Abandon martial arts and follow the text, do you really want to draw a line with the Xu family......

"Besides, if Shichiro wants to make a name for himself, is there any other way?"

"Just settled in Qiantang, will it be too early to seek fame?"

Xu You was actually ready to abandon martial arts and follow literature, but he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to participate in Yaji now, and he didn't have a reputation in the literary world, and it was in vain to have Gu Yun's support, and he couldn't say that he would be humiliated by some people. It's nothing to be humiliated, it's a big deal to fight back, but in this way, it is inevitable to be too high-profile, and it is inevitable to offend people. For Xu You now, more is better than less.

"Shichiro still remembers what I said before: I don't ...... with you."

Xu You looked at He Wei, who has always been free and witty, but at this moment he is like a sad old man, knowing that he is worried that his life will not be long, if he returns to the west before completing his long-cherished wish, he will become a lifelong regret, and he will die blindly!

"Okay, you have to become famous as soon as possible, then let the scribes of Wu County see if the Yixing Xu family is a barbarian who doesn't study for the third generation!"

At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked in, saw Xu You, and quickly knelt down and said, "Lord Xun!" ”

"Get up! If you have something to do, just stand, you don't have to kneel! ”

"No!"

He stood up, his face was afraid, and he said in a low voice: "Someone came to the door just now, saying that it was someone from the Crouching Tiger Division of Sili Mansion......"

"What?"

The winter solstice suddenly changed color, and he couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Li Mu, you say it again, is it really Crouching Tiger?" ”

"Yes, he showed me the cards, and he is indeed from the Crouching Tiger Division!" This trilogy called Li Mu did not hesitate at all, which shows that he is very sure of what he has seen with his own eyes, unlike some subordinates who are submissive and ambiguous when encountering things, trying to evade the responsibility they will bear if they make mistakes.

Details can tell a person's character, and character can determine the person's fate!

The shadow of the famous tree of the person, the three words of the Crouching Tiger Division, make people shudder. Dong Zhi frowned, she was in charge of intelligence, but she didn't know what was going on when she was put at the door, so she was really embarrassed, and said: "Xiaolang, the two apprentices arranged by Meng Xingchun near Jingyuan have always been quite well-behaved, and they have generally never appeared in public. This time I suddenly came to the door, I'm afraid something bad will happen......"

"It's okay, it's a disaster that can't be avoided! Invite him to the front hall to speak, and I'll go later! ”

Li Mu responded, He Wei yawned lazily, and said: "On the contrary, I don't think it will be a bad thing, Meng Xingchun has always been very polite to Qilang, for no reason, there is no reason to come to trouble!" ”

"I hope so!"

Xu You stretched out his hand, the raindrops the size of beans hit the palm of his hand, and suddenly there was a slight pain, and he said, "Winter Solstice, find the wind tiger!" ”

After a stick of incense, Xu You cleaned his hands and face, changed into a black linen robe, and cleaned up no different from ordinary Qi Min, meeting with the people of Sili Mansion, and trying not to give people a handle. He took Zuo Yan into the guest room, but when he saw the person in front of him, he laughed and said, "Wang Langjun, it turned out to be you!" ”

The person in the lobby is called Wang Fu, and Xu You has dealt with him twice, so he is familiar with him. Wang Fu gave a salute and said, "I've seen Lang Jun!" ”

"No need to be polite, please take a seat!"

The guest sat down, Zuo Yan stood behind Xu You, and Lu Shuang came in with tea from outside, and then retreated. Wang Fumu did not squint, not moved by the beauty of the frost in the slightest, Xu You asked, "Just from Wu County?" Is it good to be in good health? ”

"Yes, I only left from Wu County last night. If Zuo'an is good, let me say hello to Lang Jun on his behalf! ”

"I'm bothered by labor leave!" Xu You said with a smile: "I have nothing to do in Qiantang all day long, I eat and sleep well, and my body and bones are as healthy as if I was working day and night." ”

Wang Fu smiled and said, "Lang Jun is brave, who in the world doesn't know?" Fake Zuo is not good at martial arts, if you want to talk about health, naturally you can't compare with Lang Jun! ”

can depreciate himself like this, Wang Fu is definitely Meng Xingchun's confidant, Xu You stretched out his hand to make an inviting gesture, and said: "You came from afar, the boat and car are tiring, I specially ordered someone to prepare thin wine for Lang Jun to pick up the wind and wash the dust." Please, the view of the back garden of this yard is acceptable, enough to get drunk! ”

Wang Fu admired Xu You in his heart, others saw Si Lifu coming to the door, even if they were not afraid, they were at least worried, or they couldn't wait to inquire about it, but Xu You seemed to be a nobody, and he was still interested in drinking.

"Lang Jun is kind, I understand it, but I am on official business, and I dare not stay for a long time. After finishing the errand ordered by the false Zuo, he immediately had to set off to return to Wu County. ”

Xu You was surprised: "So urgent? ”

"There's no way, the state is going to be moved, the officials are going to move, and there are more than 100 people involved? Lang Jun may not know that Wu County is now out of control, the Crouching Tiger Division is understaffed, and Fake Zuo can't wait to treat us as subordinates, one person as ten people, even if he wants to be lazy here in Lang Jun, he doesn't have the guts. ”

"You're a fake right-hand man, so naturally you have to work harder. Okay, then I'll owe this wine first, and I'll make up for it when I have a chance in the future, and I'll say okay, I can't say nowhere next time! ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Wang Fu put his hand in his arms, turned his head to look around, and said, "Please Lang Jun retreat!" ”

Zuo Yan did not move like a mountain, holding a sword in his right hand, his eyes were shooting, staring coldly at Wang Fu's hand in his arms. Wang Fu's eyebrows gathered, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light, but it was only for a moment, and it quietly stretched out.

"Lang Jun, don't get me wrong, I don't mean to distrust Zuo Langjun, I just pretended to confess, this matter can't enter the ears of a third person."

With a smile on his face, he took out a letter from his arms, took a few steps forward, and handed it to Xu You respectfully. It is said that Crouching Tiger is arrogant and domineering, but Wang Fu has always been kind, but he doesn't know whether this kindness is true or false, or it varies from person to person.

Xu You opened it and saw that there were only a few words, saying that Wang Fu went to Qiantang on business and stopped by to visit his old friend Yunyun. The meaning of this letter is just to tell Xu You that Wang Fu was indeed ordered to come to deliver the word and can be trusted. Thinking about it, with Meng Xingchun's rigor, if there is really anything to explain, it is impossible to write it clearly on paper, which is both naïve and stupid.

"Wang Langjun, don't mind, Fenghu is just worried about my safety, a little suspicious!" Xu You smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Fenghu, you go down first, I will call you if there is something!" ”

Zuo Yan slowly retreated with his fists in his fists, and turned his head to look at Wang Fu as he passed by. Wang Fu only felt like a piercing bone, and his whole body couldn't help but tense, until Zuo Yan disappeared outside the door, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who forced Xi Yuanda back with a sword is really not to be underestimated!

"Tell me, what do you command?"

"I don't dare to take the order, I asked me to implore Lang Jun to be sure to attend the Qiantang Lake Yaji to be held in ten days!"

Xu You's mind was racing, Gu Yun's invitation had just arrived today, and Meng Xingchun's subordinates had arrived in Jingyuan with their front and back feet, and the joints were extremely scary.

"Oh, so Fake Zuo already knows about this?"

Xu You pretended to be distressed and said, "Gu Fujun didn't know why, he actually asked me to introduce a martial artist to participate in the literati's elegant gathering, wouldn't it become a joke in the world when it was spread?" Never, never! ”

"Fake Zuo was afraid that Lang Jun would have this concern, so he ordered me to come to Qiantang overnight to spread the word. Fake Zuo said, civil and military are not different, and the civil and military generals are all humerus of the imperial court, and all of them are indispensable. The so-called elegant collection is not limited to literati. This time, it is reported that Zhu Fayan of Dade Temple and Du Mingyu of Heavenly Master Dao will attend, and the two families of Buddhism and Taoism are people outside the world, but they can live among them, not to mention a young hero like Lang Jun. ”

Wang Fu's tone did not respect Zhu Fayan, and he knew it slightly, but it was conceivable that in Jinling City, Xiao Xunqi and Zhu Faqing should not deal with it much.

Xu You put his hand on his cheek, silent, and looked very embarrassed.

"Fake Zuo also said that Wu Chinese people are too sour and rotten people, Wen can't rule the country with a horse, and Wu can't go to the horse to rule the army, and it's useless, so there is no need to be too jealous of them. Moreover, with Lang Jun's intelligence and bearing, if he can attend the Yaji, he will definitely be a blockbuster, and when the world looks up, it will also be greatly beneficial to Lang Jun's future. ”

Well?

Xu You raised his head suddenly and said, "Fake Zuo Zhen said that?" ”

Wang Fu nodded and said, "Exactly, every word is true!" ”

What exactly does Meng Xingchun want to do?

Xu You was deprived of his scholarly status and demoted to Qi Min, which was an edict issued by An Zidao Chrysostom Yuyan, and there was no possibility of changing his course. But the meaning in Meng Xingchun's words seemed to be telling Xu You to take care of his hope, maybe he would be able to return to the scholar one day in the future.

Is this Haikou that he boasted about in order to take advantage of Xu You, or did he really uphold his intentions and pointed out a clear way for Xu You to turn over the salted fish?

"If you send you, it won't be just to let me participate in the Yaji, right?"

"This is the most important thing, of course, in addition to that, Fake Zuo also wants to ask Lang Jun for a small favor!"

"You say!"

"Please ask Lang Jun to humiliate Lu Xu in public at Yaji, whether it is to use force or insult, he must always let him sweep the floor, and he will never be able to raise his head in Yangzhou Shilin."

Lu Xu?

Lu Xu, known as the first genius in Jiangdong?

Meng Xing is the fake assistant of the Crouching Tiger Division of Sili Mansion, and he is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven if he says it is good, but he is just a lackey spy if he says it is ugly, what can he do with a celebrity like Lu Xu?

Xu You suddenly became interested!
