Chapter 33: Burdened by Fame
Jiajia Cloth Store has no intention of selling cloth now, but just leaves the door open and slowly disposes of the previous inventory. Business is a big deal. However, every helper in the front yard of the Jia family has also increased his salary.
Especially Uncle Zhou, the coachman, directly doubled. Because he needs to take care of it a little more, two war horses. Mafu loves horses, according to Uncle Zhou, these days are becoming more and more fulfilling.
There was nothing to do in the cloth shop, and Wang Erwa became Qin Feng's full-time messenger.
Qin Feng is now in the Jia family, taking Xixi's salary and enjoying the blessings of the master.
Every day at noon, Mrs. Jia would invite Qin Feng to the inner courtyard hall to use it with the Jia family.
Mrs. Jia thought that when she ate alone, there were always fewer dishes, and she seemed a little lazy to Mr. Xixi, and she had to share the table with the host's family for the main meal.
After eating, Qin Feng was also more conscious, so he drank tea and rested in the courtyard of the outer courtyard. Occasionally, Jia Song teaches some arithmetic and brushes some arithmetic problems.
The only thing that made Qin Feng a little unhappy was that fame began to have a negative effect on him.
The day after I came back from Qingfeng Temple, people kept coming to the door. To be polite, I want to ask for chess skills, proudly propose a game, and if I am arrogant, I want to challenge directly!
Qin Feng ignored it! These people are also persistent, and they just wait at the door and do not leave.
Qin Feng snorted coldly in his heart, I'm at home, you are outside, then Bibi, who can beat whom! If you have the ability, you will come every day!
Jia Jingmin has been extremely busy in the past two days, and before lunch and dinner, she has prepared perfume in her room. After the main meal, I took Ruyi to the Red Sleeve Wenyuan in a carriage. Say yes, help prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival poetry meeting.
The Red Sleeve Wenyuan is an empty courtyard of the Shu family, which is a little smaller, but there is a lotus pond, a pavilion, and a large platform. Great for small gatherings. Today, it is also the planning center of the perfume trade.
Two days passed like this, and on the third day, Qin Feng was dining with the Jia family. Jia Jingmin glanced at Qin Feng and said, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, the Red Sleeve Wenyuan will hold the Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Meeting, does Mr. Qin want to prepare?" ”
Qin Feng was stunned: "Poetry meeting?" Can you not go? I'm not quite fit for these occasions. ”
Compared with the Tang and Song dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties gradually developed in the direction of novels and vernacular literature. The poems gradually decreased, and the overall quality was far inferior to that of the Tang and Song dynasties. Qin Feng's plagiarism resources are very limited, so Qin Feng is not interested in poetry. I don't expect to make a profit from this fame, the background is not enough, and it is easy to be exposed.
Jia Jingmin saw that Qin Feng didn't seem to be a fake, so she explained cautiously: "Mrs. Shu specially asked you to go last time, and yesterday Shu Yi said again, the word you wrote last time was handed over to the judges, and it will be in the top ten." In this poetry meeting, all the talents invited are the most likely to be selected for the examination, and all of them are Nanchang Mansion Junjie. Next year, you will take the township test together, and it will be the same year in the future, and this is a platform specially built for you. Tomorrow's comment, I also invited Jiangxi Admiral Xuezheng. It's here to make a name for you. Can you not go? ”
Dahua Province, the governor is in charge of everything, similar to the governor, and there are three important institutions under it.
The first is the political envoy department, the chief political envoy, which is equivalent to the vice province, in charge of finance and administrative affairs.
The second is to administer justice according to the procuratorial department, and the chief official is in charge of the judiciary.
The third is to supervise the administration of the school, and the chief officer supervises the school and manages education, which is equivalent to the provincial education commission. But Dahua is a scholar and the emperor rule the world together, and Xuezheng manages all the scholars under his jurisdiction, and his power and influence even exceed those of the inspectors.
Governor Shu, please come to Inspector Xuezheng to make a comment, this is to thank Qin Feng from the bottom of my heart.
But in the name of the Red Sleeve Wenyuan Poetry Conference, presumably, the governor also saw something.
Even so, if you don't go, you will be kind, and you will be a little ignorant. After all, the other party is the governor of a province, and this line has to be tightened.
Qin Feng nodded in response, "That's a must-go." But don't call me to write lyrics on the spot, this thing has inspiration and talent, no, you can't hold it back. ”
Jia Song sneered, Jia Jingmin glared at Qin Feng, and said, "In the past two days, there have been a lot of rumors about you outside. I also think it's strange, I don't usually see you playing chess, how can you play with two masters? Let's just talk about the words, just look at the level of your words, excellent words. It stands to reason that there should be a lot of broken sentences in the chest, even if you play on the spot, just take out one and polish one or two, it won't be too bad, why are you afraid? ”
Qin Feng's heart sank, and he sincerely admired: "Miss Jia is really beautiful and fragrant, and the ice and snow are smart!" Then the chopsticks reached for a plate of steamed fish.
Jia Jingmin's eyes widened, but Qin Feng only looked at the fish, picking on the thorns, and didn't look at her. Her eyelids were tired, and Miss Jia lowered her eyes and asked, "Let's talk about chess first, are you, what tricks have you really played?" ”
Jia Song also looked at Qin Feng with a suspicious expression and said, "Sir, in the past two days, people have been coming to play against you. You don't care about any of them, but there are more and more people waiting outside. ”
Jia Jingmin said: "Yes! I went out yesterday, and thanks to Uncle Zhou's skillful skills, I was not entangled by those people. ”
Qin Feng's eyes widened: "Huh? Still pestering you? ”
"Just ask me, are you at home, why don't you dare to come out to play?" Jia Jingmin saw Qin Feng's face change, and a hint of joy flashed in her heart.
Since Mrs. Jia shouted out that night, asking Qin Feng to take Jia Jingmin away and fly away, its significance is self-evident.
Qin Feng teased Miss Jia from time to time, plus Qin Feng was tall and handsome, and he was still a talent. These days have also done their best for the Jia family. Jia Jingmin inevitably had ripples in her heart.
"Humph!" Qin Feng snorted coldly: "I don't believe it!" And the strongman game? ”
"Defeat you, but directly, Dahua's first national player!" Jia Song said: "Sir, you are only famous in Nanchang now. After a few days, the news spread all over Jiangnan and Dahua. At that time, it was not known how many chess players would come to you. These people are very difficult. Sir can't just keep going out, right? Mr. Tomorrow will also participate in the poetry meeting, besides, Mr. always avoids it, does not play against others, and there will always be too much gossip......"
"That's it! I'll go out and clean them up later! Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "You dare to disturb Miss Jia, it's the other way around!" ”
Mrs. Jia didn't say a word, but the corners of her mouth moved slightly, twisted up a small piece of fish meat, and slowly cleaned the fish bones.
Jia Jingmin was startled: "Don't mess around!" Most of them were scholars, and the officials didn't take them seriously. ”
Qin Feng snorted coldly: "It's endless, you have to think of a way!" ”
Qin Feng took Jia Song and pouted his ass and peeked out through the crack in the door. The Jia family is in the cloth business, and there are residents and merchants on the left and right in front of the door, the streets are not too wide, and there are many pedestrians.
Some people were holding chessboards, in groups of three, in groups of five, in front of the door, on the side of the street, and even in the cloth shop. It also attracted some passers-by to stop and watch, pointing to the Jia family.
Qin Feng secretly complained bitterly, it has only been two or three days, and there are so many people blocking the door, what will he do in the future? What's even more excessive is that among so many people, there is not a single female chess player or female fan.
There are two kinds of people in the world who are crazy. One is fans. One is people who want to be popular. Right now, in front of the door, it's all gathered.
Either way, I want to play a game against Dahua's No. 1 chess player, lose normally, win the world's fame, and make sure you don't lose money!
No, there is a third kind, those who are deliberately trying to stir up trouble!
Butler Feng of Wu Jin's family was hiding in the crowd, watching coldly, secretly dispatching his manpower.
The more Qin Feng avoided it, the more and more crowds would gather in the future. No matter where Qin Feng went, there were people to accost, challenge, and harass, and when he encountered someone who didn't like him, or someone who was housekeeper Feng, he would take the opportunity to scold.
Even if Qin Feng can endure it again, sooner or later he will be driven crazy! Unless, go away and fly high, stay away from right and wrong, and stay away from the Jia family! Qin Feng can go, Jia Jingmin, but he can't go! The agreement contract of the Jia family is still in the cloth shop!
Steward Feng sneered on his face, his own principal, Wu Jin, was really not missing.
On the night of the draw, Wu Jin shouted in the house: "A talent who hasn't gone out for three years!" I've never played against a master before! Why, can you use one to two, and return the double harmony? There must be a cat in it! ”
Wu Jin immediately set out two chessboards, arranged for two chess players to rehearse on the spot, and deciphered the mystery of Qin Feng's double harmony with tea and kung fu!
Right now, Qin Feng is hiding in Jia's house and not going out, which is in line with Wu Jin's inference.
Chess players come to the door to ask for advice, and admirers come to the door to pay respects, which are all due actions. Steward Feng only needs to arrange some people to pretend to be admirers and wait for the opportunity to cause trouble. Once you seize the opportunity, you can make trouble in front of Jia's house!
Unless, Qin Feng comes out and defeats the challenger with chess skills. Or use strength, and supreme glory, to disperse the crowd. The question is, can he? Can he?
Hahahaha! Steward Feng couldn't help but laugh openly.
Master Liu, the Ya of Nanchang County, personally led a group of officials and also stood not far away to watch.
Where the crowd gathers, the officials have to be present, for fear that something will happen and cause group harm. At this time, he had a sad face and complained: "Master Liu, if it goes on like this, there will be more people day by day, and sooner or later something will happen." Do you want Qin Xiucai to avoid it in another place? After a long time, things will fade. ”
Master Liu pursed his lips and shook his head: "Other things, it can be faded after a long time." This matter of fame and fortune, no matter how long it is, it can't be faded! No matter what line of work, if you dare to call yourself the best in the world, there will always be people who will come to you to challenge. Unless, you keep hiding! Qin Feng, his life has just begun, you let him shut up for the rest of his life? Or seclusion in the mountains and forests? This matter is in big trouble. ”
......
"What a nuisance!" Jia Song saw the outside clearly and felt a headache.
"Can't be delayed! The more you delay, the more people will come to your door in the future! I've got to go out and meet them! Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said.
Jia Song hesitated: "Mr. go out, can you handle it?" ”
Qin Feng squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and said to Jia Song: "Didn't your sister say that most chess players are scholars?" Since you are a reader, then use the method of a reader! Go, you first call Wang Erwa, Uncle Zhou, Sister-in-law Zhou, Uncle Tang, Sister-in-law Tang, all come over, I have something to say. ”
