The investigation of Yu Yu has come to an end for the time being, and her identity is still suspicious, but at least it is certain that she is not a spy planted by others by Xu You.

That's enough!

What is her true identity, Xu You is curious, but he is not in a hurry, as long as she stays in the mansion, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed.

A few days later, on the third day of the third month of March, the Shangsi Festival came. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, every Shangsi Festival, people have to gather at the water's edge to wash dirt and dirt, summon spirits, and cure plagues. Later, it was gradually valued by the ruling class, and it has become a legal holiday in the Six Dynasties, and has become a national entertainment activity, men and women wear mustard flowers on their heads, hold orchid grass in their hands, and have willow branches in their waists, travel the mountains and rivers, bathe in the good spring, and from time to time there are couples who are wild in the suburbs, which are both romantic and close to nature, and are popular with the common people.

Early in the morning, Zhang Mo, Du Sheng, Wang Rong, Zhou Yong, Shen Meng, Wu Shixing, and Bao Hu came from all over the world, waiting in a pavilion on the east side of the West Lake.

After all, being able to win over the famous Yangzhou Night Yiguang to join is of great help to their personal fame and the vocal rhythm movement that they are about to devote their lives to changing.

"Micro!"

Zhang Mo greeted him, took Xu You's hand, and said happily: "We are looking forward to Xicheng, but we are looking forward to you!" ”

Xu You said apologetically: "Deal with some family matters, it's long overdue, don't blame you!" Saying that, everyone hurriedly returned the salute, and it didn't hurt to say anything. Zhang Mo pulled him to the front of the person on the far left, and said: "Everyone knows each other, let me introduce this again, Shen Meng, the word Yunming, don't look at his appearance and weakness, in fact, his temperament is as fierce as fire, and he dares to fight and dare to rush!" ”

"Brother Yunming!"

Xu You bowed his hand and said: "Last time, there was a lot of misunderstanding between us, and we broke up unhappily, this is my no, today I am here to ask Brother Yunming for guilt!" ”

Shen Meng stepped aside, expressing humility, not daring to accept Xu You's apology, and said sincerely: "That day was my abrupt first, and I never explained it clearly to Weizhi, and I often felt guilty and couldn't sleep at night during this time. Fortunately, I did not give up, and I was willing to deign to come to the West Lake to meet, and this open-mindedness made me deeply admired! ”

"Where, Brother Yunming's words are serious!"

The two smiled and exchanged enmities, and when the greetings were over, Xu You sat in the middle of the pavilion, and the others sat on both sides to discuss the specific details of today's association.

Association, in the final analysis, is a social organization, which is extremely closely related to social life, and can be roughly divided into four aspects: orthodox, economic, cultural, and military in terms of content and form.

Zhengzhi societies, such as the Peng Party, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty Party members, the Tang Dynasty's Niu Li Party, the Song Dynasty's Old and New Party, the Ming Dynasty's Eunuch Party, and the Donglin Party all belong to this category; Economic societies, such as guilds, merchant gangs, guild halls, handicraft guilds such as horse shops, fish shops, and silk trades in the past dynasties, as well as various guilds that provide charity and mutual assistance, are all considered economic societies; In terms of military affairs, most of them are temporary military organizations such as the Righteous Society, the Righteous Society, the Militia Group, and the Baojia, and the official will not allow the existence of too powerful military societies unless they deliberately rebel and secretly form societies in private; Finally, there is the cultural association, which is also the most common kind of community organization, with the most complex forms, the most extensive contents, and the most diverse names.

The West Lake Bazi Society, which Xu You participated in today, is a kind of cultural association. But no matter what kind of association it is, there must be an alliance leader, a social order, a rules, a place to gather and a fixed time. The dragon has no head, the first step is to choose the leader of the alliance, the process is very simple, Zhang Mo proposed that everyone should nominate whoever has the highest degree of support will be the leader of the alliance, Xu You who he recommended, the others did not hesitate, and all expressed their approval. This can be regarded as an early consensus reached in private, and the promotion is just a formality. Xu You modestly pushed a few times, and was persuaded by everyone, so he naturally agreed.

If it is said that the cross poems on the elegant collection alone cannot convince the hearts of everyone, but the circulation of "Sandu Fu", as Zhang Zihua said, led to the high cost of Yangzhou paper, which initially established Xu You's lofty status in Yangzhou's literary circle, and no one dared to question his qualifications.

After choosing the leader of the alliance, and then to set the order, everyone looked at Xu You, and no one spoke. On the one hand, he wants to test his ability, after all, the position of the leader of the alliance, in addition to literary knowledge, must also have organizational and leadership skills; On the other hand, the social order is the top priority of the cultural society, and it is the main policy to guide future actions and development.

Xu You was confident, he retreated for many days, thinking about this question, and concisely mentioned twelve words:

Meet friends with poetry, and there will be harmony when singing; Wander the mountains and forests, and be alone.

Since the association of literati, the poetry and music of the scriptures and texts have always been inseparable, touting each other in an all-round way, holding each other, and learning from each other to improve, and at the same time becoming famous through the association, they often form an individual or group of righteous governance concepts, and then gradually grow into a large or weak righteous governance group, and there has never been a poetry society in the pure sense.

Xu Youding's social decree basically regulates the West Lake Bazi Society in a small circle of poetry lovers, and does not involve others, let alone Zhengzhi! (The word Zhengzhi is a deliberate mistake, the reason must be understood by everyone, and when it needs to appear in the future, it will be replaced by a typo, please distinguish it from the Zhengzhi of the Heavenly Master)

It was a compromise he made for the sake of prudence, and also to prevent being led astray by the ambitions of others. Sure enough, Wang Rong put forward a different opinion on the twelve-character social order, and changed the self-benevolence to help the world. Confucianism always takes Kuangfu Sheji as its own responsibility, and it is not impossible to be alone, so it is necessary to fight, fight, and enjoy before talking about the feasibility of retreating to the mountains and forests.

On this point, the eight people launched a heated debate, Zhang Mo, Shen Meng, Du Sheng and Zhou Yong supported Xu You, and Bao Hu and Wu Shixing supported Wang Rong, five to three, and the dispute continued.

"Brother Wang, Brother Bao, Brother Wu, I have no intention of career, and I don't doubt that Brother is the same, presumably Shen Du Zhou and the three Langjun are of the same heart. Why? Because we formed an association in West Lake, what we wanted to do was far more meaningful than becoming an official in the court. Once the four-tone cut rhyme is promulgated in the north and south, it will not only affect the poetry rhythm for thousands of years, but also standardize the style of the poetry world for the next thousand years. The changes of two thousand years are all in the hands of you and me, so why bother to be entangled in being good alone, or helping the world? In fact, the two are not contradictory, in order to avoid all kinds of worldly influences, concentrate on the perfection and popularization of the four tones, as long as you do this well, that is, you want to help the world. ”

Xu You joined the association, just wanting to leave a name in the literary world and raise hope among the people, and he was not willing to take advantage of this to seek the interests of righteousness, nor would he take this opportunity to enter the official career, let alone be tied up by Wang Rong and others, and take unpredictable risks for their needs and purposes of righteousness.

There are countless examples of literati associations that eventually develop into righteous governance groups, and then they will be coerced by this group to fight with other righteous groups, which is called party fighting. Therefore, the four words of being good must be written into the social order of the West Lake Bazi Society, which is a principle and cannot be retreated!

After some disputes, in order to prevent the newly established Bazi Society from dying in infancy, Xu You reproposed with his incomparably harmonious life experience and experience that Wang Rong, Bao Zhao and others should not be prevented from participating in other clubs, and they could seek like-minded people outside the West Lake Bazi Society to jointly pursue progress in their careers, but these affairs must not be brought to the Bazi Society, and the purity and independence of the Bazi Society as a poetry society should be guaranteed.

Wang Rong heartily agreed, swearing to abide by the agreement, Bao Hu and Wu Shixing only looked forward to him, and also nodded in agreement. Next, it was agreed that there would be a gathering in Qiantang on the third day of the Lunar New Year every month, and if there was something important that could not come, someone should also be sent to notify and explain the reason.

As for the meeting place and meeting place, Xu You is responsible for all the expenses needed, Qiantang is his base camp, and he is also the leader of the social affairs alliance, so he naturally has to spend more time. This was proposed by Xu You, he is not short of this money, he is generous, and he can also buy people's hearts.

In addition, other regulations were agreed upon, with a total of 17 social decrees, which became the cornerstone and foundation of the development and growth of the West Lake Bazi Society in the next ten years.

After everything was over, Du Sheng was young, and he couldn't hold back his impulse, and said: "Today's Shangsi Festival, the West Lake is full of people playing, why don't we also go and join in the fun?" ”

When they were discussing things just now, there were many men and women passing by the pavilion, some wanted to come in to rest, but they were stopped by the guards outside, and some people were curious about who was gathering in the pavilion, and stopped to look at it from afar, and there were many young women who saw Xu You and them were handsome, and they boldly couldn't go around, and threw a lot of bluegrass in.

"Okay, let's go and relax first, and go to the Zhibin Building for lunch, I invite you to taste the delicacies of Qiantang!"

After listening to Xu You's words, there was eating, drinking and beautiful scenery, and everyone's interest was high, and they went along the West Lake together. Zhang Mo and Xu You walked at the end, he was a little unhappy, and even felt a little sorry for Xu You, after all, he had promised Xu You before that there would be no accidents in the association today, but he didn't expect Wang Rong to have a different opinion when discussing the society's order, which greatly damaged Xu You's prestige.

"What, do you think Wang Rong did something wrong?"

Zhang Mo shook his head and said, "The social order is very important, and it is necessary for everyone to express their opinions, but his attitude is ......"

Xu You said with confidence: "No doubt, your talent is excellent, but when dealing with people, you can't just rely on talent to learn, but also pay attention to strategies and methods." Wang Rong has a career that is not a bad thing, he is not wrong about learning to become a scholar and martial artist, selling it to the emperor's family, becoming an official, and entering the court. But we established the Poetry Society, not for the country in front of us and the people of Jiangdong, but for the purpose of carrying forward and innovating poetry, a literature and art that has been inherited for thousands of years, so Wang Rong's ambition and the mission of the Poetry Society have conflicted, how to resolve this conflict? Anger, rejection and confrontation are not the way to go, only by finding a way to find the best of both worlds can we achieve a win-win situation......"

"Win-win?"

"It's good for both sides of the conflict, it's called a win-win situation!" Xu You smiled slightly: "This is also the responsibility of the leader of the social affairs alliance, accommodating differences, dissipating dissent, uniting the majority, and the eight sons of West Lake, so that they will not slowly become seventh, sixth, and fifth sons, but in the near future, they will become a society of ten sons, a hundred sons, and a society of tens of millions of people!" ”
