Volume 1 Chapter 95 Published

After winning the first place in the hospital test, Yang Cong came back from the provincial city with this huge glory, and the old lady Yang Rong was about to go crazy with joy.

Last time Yang Cong County tried to win the championship, he held a thank-you banquet to congratulate Chongqing, and this time the hospital won the championship and Lianzhong Sanyuan naturally had to celebrate it even more.

Yang Cong had just come back, and before his ass was hot, the old lady Yang Rong ordered someone to bring over a large number of invitations and ask him to sign them.

This time, the Yang Mansion was going to hold a flowing water banquet and celebrate for three days, and all the relatives and friends of the Yang family, the merchants and the officials and gentry of the entire Quanzhou Mansion who had something to do with the Yang family would be invited, and the number was also terrifying by several thousand.

Yang Cong never thought of being so public, but the old lady Yang Rong thought, Hui'an Yang family has been in business for more than 100 years since its own dynasty, but there has never been a person who has won fame in the examination.

He can't invite more people, but if he can invite more people, let alone three days of flowing water, even thirty days.

At the beginning of this flowing water seat, Yang Cong keenly noticed that many people's attitudes towards him were different.

For example, those classmates in the county school, who used to look at him with a lot of disdain, basically didn't bother to say a word to him, this time, they no longer have that kind of disdainful look, and even a few of them deliberately greeted him when he toasted, as if they were afraid that others would not know that they were classmates.

Another example is the squires in the county, they used to be too lazy to look at him, even if the Yang family invited them, they didn't care much, it would be good to send a son, but this time, almost all the squires in the county came, and they were very polite to him.

These people should know that Yang Cong is a real "genius", and even the middle school and the third yuan rely on the real ability, and the people who can even get the third yuan in the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination can at least take the examination and take the jinshi examination.

In other words, in the future, the Yang family, the advanced squire is a sure thing, and it is even possible to become an official eunuch family because of this, and they naturally want to have a good relationship.

Of course, not only these people came to congratulate, but Yang Cong's talented friends in Fucheng came, Xu Jie, who was a serious high-ranking official of the government, was busy with things for a day, so it was naturally impossible to personally run Hui'an to congratulate Yang Cong, but he also let the Shi Wenzhai brothers bring congratulatory gifts, and even wrote a sub-couplet to Yang Cong in person.

Shanglian is: The breeze and warmth are the days when the case first entered the department.

The next link is: The willow fluttering is just the time when the title of the gold list is titled.

The horizontal batch is: talented and intelligent.

This couplet does not imply any allusions, nor does it deliberately chew on the words, it looks ordinary, but it includes Yang Cong's surname, first name and characters, and it also implies that Yang Cong will be able to title the gold list.

The old lady Yang Rong saw it, and he was really happy, this is a couplet mentioned by Tanhualang himself, and he also praised Yang Cong's talent and intelligence, and he will be able to name the gold list, Yang Cong will really be the title of the gold list, and this couplet will definitely become a good story and be widely spread.

This couplet, the question is good, he hurriedly ordered someone to use good stones to make an archway, and erected it directly on the square outside the gate of Yang's mansion.

This guy's Yang Cong is really a little speechless, but he can't say anything, no way, who made Yang Rong his grandfather, the old man is happy.

He became really famous after the third yuan in the company, not only the local gentry in Hui'an were impressed by him and the scholars, but even some scholars in Quanzhou also came to visit.

Among them, there is a very special person, this person is named Wang Xuan, who is one of Yu Dayou's teachers in his early study of literature.

He also has an identity, that is, a famous master of science in Quanzhou, a disciple of Yi Xuetai and Cai Qing.

This Cai Qing is amazing, although he has nothing outstanding in his career, he is one of the representatives of the Ming Dynasty in terms of Cheng Zhu Lixue and Yi Xue, and even Zhu Xi's "Notes on the Four Books and Chapters and Sentences" has become the standard answer to the township test and the meeting test, which is the result of his vigorous advocacy.

It can be said that in terms of the imperial examination alone, his achievements are close to Zhu Xi.

Such a bull man, the fame in Quanzhou Mansion is naturally terrifying, Zhang Yue, Chen Chen and even Lin Xiyuan and other famous Jinshi in Quanzhou Mansion and its surroundings can be regarded as his protégés.

Wang Xuan is also Cai Qing's protégé, but he is not a jinshi, not even a lifter, he is just a showman.

Why did he come to Yang Cong?

Yang Cong didn't know either, when Yu Dayou took him directly to Yang Cong, Yang Cong was really taken aback.

What does this person say?

It is said that he does not look like a scholar, but his face is full of elegance, and he looks like a well-educated person.

Let's say that he looks like a scholar, but he really doesn't look like this dress, because he is wearing the collared coat of ordinary people, and there are patches on it, and even he carries a shabby bamboo basket on his back.

If he met him outside, Yang Cong would definitely think that he was an ordinary commoner, but Yu Dayou told him that this was his teacher, an authentic Xiucai, and a protégé of Cai Qing, a master of science!

Fortunately, Yu Dayou greeted him in advance, and it was his teacher who came, so Yang Cong specially greeted him in the lobby of his main house, if he didn't know who this person was in advance, it was estimated that he would be rude.

The so-called "man shall not be disguised, and the sea shall not be measured." Yang Cong was quite polite to this teacher of Yu Dayou, not only welcomed him in respectfully with the disciples, but also gave him to the right head of the main seat to show respect.

After he sat down, he took out a package from the bamboo basket at his feet, solemnly placed it on the coffee table, and then said with a little embarrassment: "Qingfeng, the reason why the old man came to you through Dayou is mainly to ask you for a favor." ”

After saying that, he began to untie the knot on the package with a solemn face, as if it contained some kind of treasure.

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help but glance at Yu Dayou embarrassedly, and he didn't know what to say.

This help is a trivial matter, since he is Yu Dayou's teacher, this favor, you have to help no matter what, there is no need to give gifts, it can be seen from Wang Xuan's outfit, his family is not rich, and sending such a large bag of things is estimated to make him break his muscles and bones.

However, Yang Cong is not easy to refuse, sometimes, if you refuse other people's gifts, you look down on others, he doesn't dare to look down on Yu Dayou's teacher.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xuan's package turned out to be neatly stacked with several stacks of books!

Books are not cheap these days, even the "Four Books and Five Classics" such a book with hundreds of thousands or even millions of copies printed in a book costs almost one or two taels of silver, and the kind of personal work that has a small number of prints even costs four or five taels of silver a book, for ordinary people, it is really expensive and scares the individual.

Wang Xuan's stacks of books are obviously not "Four Books and Five Classics", because there are not so many copies of "Four Books and Five Classics", this is a lot of books, I'm afraid there are dozens of them, right?

How much does that cost!

Yang Cong couldn't help but be surprised: "Sir, who are you?" ”

He thought that Wang Xuan was going to give him this pile of books, and then ask him to do a big favor, but unexpectedly, Wang Xuan blushed and said: "Qingfeng, I won't tell you, the old man wants to ask you for a favor and print these books and periodicals, and the old man doesn't want any money from selling books, as long as he can print them." ”

fainted, it turned out that he was asked to help publish the book!

In these years, it is not easy to print a book, and many people need to be invited for lettering, typesetting, and printing.

No wonder this Wang Xuan came to him for help, these dozens of books will cost at least a few hundred taels of silver to be printed, not to mention a poor talent, even a person can't afford this cost!
