Chapter Fifty-Six: The Lonely Mountain Yinshe
However, he said that Xu Yan returned to Chen's Mansion after saying goodbye to Xu Wei, and after meeting with his grandfather, he returned to Gushan Academy to find Mr. Qian.
Qian Dehong was obviously surprised that Xu Yan came back so quickly. But since the students have returned, there is absolutely no reason to rush out.
For the sake of him bringing back another jar of soju, Qian Dehong was about to tell him something big.
"Good apprentice, tomorrow I will prepare for the teacher to create a poetry club in the Lonely Mountain Academy, and the name has been thought of, so it will be called the Lonely Mountain Yin Society."
Qian Dehong took a sip of wine and said leisurely.
Creating a Poetry Society?
Xu Yanxin said that Mr. Qian is addicted to playing literary and artistic games, and it is not enough to build a academy, but also to establish a poetry club.
"Teacher, so you're the president of the Lonely Mountain Yin Society?"
Xu Yan patted his ass.
"Of course, in this lonely mountain realm, who should be the president except for the teacher?"
After a pause, Qian Dehong continued: "Tomorrow's friends who will be teachers will come to cheer, good boy, you can come and have a good time if you have nothing to do." ”
Xu Yan said in his heart that Mr. Qian was really duplicitous, obviously he loved himself the most as a student, and he had to say that he didn't care. This shows that Mr. Qian wants to promote him and rely on his prestige to create a limelight for him.
"The students obeyed."
Xu Yan saw through it but didn't say it, and smiled faintly.

The poetry societies of the Ming generation gathered, and since the popular associations in the Xuande and Orthodox years, many famous poetry societies have appeared in more than 100 years. The Jiajing Dynasty was one of the periods with the most poetry societies, and it was natural for scholars not to seek fame from officials.
There is a so-called heaven and Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there are especially many poetry societies in Hangzhou, and large and small poetry societies are all over the vicinity of the West Lake.
However, he said that Xu Yan got up early in the morning to wash, and then arranged the poetry club venue with other students of the academy under the instructions of Mr. Qian.
To be honest, this was the first time he had worked with his fellow disciples. After all, Mr. Qian gave him special training some time ago, and he had almost no chance of contacting the rest of the academy students alone.
In this way, Xu Yan was able to observe these students up close.
Among them, there are children in their teens and "old talents" in their thirties and forties. The age span is not small.
But they all have one thing in common, and that's calm.
Don't be happy with things or be sad about yourself, maybe this is the highest state of life.
The environment of Gushan Academy is very good, so I don't feel irritated when I work.
After the cooperation of more than a dozen college students, the venue of the poetry club was finally arranged.
Although Xu Yan was tired and sweating profusely, he was also very happy.
Mr. Qian was still fishing, as if he would not show up until the last minute.
Some guests were invited one after another, and Xu Yan and his fellow disciples invited them in one by one.
Seeing that Mr. Qian still didn't mean to move, Xu Yan leaned in front of him and whispered, "Master, do you also go out to have a look?" ”
Qian Dehong shook his head: "What is coming now is just some offspring, and you will call me when everyone comes." ”
Xu Yanxin said, "You are clearly going to play a big name."
Is it true that the younger generations have no cards like this?
When you think about it, it seems to be true.
Helplessly, Xu Yan had to turn back to the gate of the academy again and start the reception work again.
"Ah, it turned out to be Mr. Lu, please please."
"Shen Gongzi, the family teacher has been saying that your poems are excellent."
"Han Gongzi, come here, what kind of congratulatory gifts. It's too outward. ”
Xu Yan was very busy, and he felt like a greeter.
Hey, what kind of fuss is this?
Teacher, don't use such child labor!
Slander is slander, Xu Yan's reception work is still very careful.
In addition, he was handsome and suave in his life, and he also received a lot of praise for his excellent appearance.
pressed these and did not show them, but said that Qian Dehong, as a successor of Xinxue, has a very high status in the literary world.
After his appearance, everyone saluted in unison.
Some of the juniors even made a long bow.
Qian Dehong naturally felt very useful, and waved his hand to signal everyone to take the seat.
Today is the day of the founding of the Gushan Yin Society, and as the founder, Qian Dehong naturally expressed his views.
It's just that the time of this speech is really a bit long, from the time he joined the office, to the dismissal of officials and his return to his hometown to give lectures, it can be said that he has counted the course of his life over and over again.
Many of the people in the banquet were Qian Dehong's friends, and they felt the same way when they heard it, and some even shed tears.
Qian Lao's life is bumpy! But if it weren't for such ups and downs, how could there be such a sense of life, and how could the achievements in the literary world be so high?
If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing.
After sighing with emotion, Qian Dehong raised his wine glass and said loudly: "On this good day in late autumn, the old man invited everyone to announce that the Gushan Yin Society will be formed from now on!" ”
Finally to the point!
Xu Yan was very excited.
Speaking of which, this should be the first poetry club he joined, right? In the Daming literary circle, if you don't participate in the poetry club, you will be looked down upon as if you didn't go to a private academy.
It is good to say that the buildings near the water get the moon first, and it is better to say that the fertile water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.
In short, this is a poetry club founded by his teacher, as a student, how can he not join the club?
As the president of the Gushan Yin Society, it should be Qian Dehong who opened the topic first.
I saw him stroked his beard and smiled: "Jiangnan is good at picking lotus, so let's take lotus as the theme." ”
As soon as the words fell, a young man with a crown stood up.
He arched his hand at Qian Dehong, and then said in a harmonious voice: "In front of Mr. Xushan, the younger generation is ugly. ”
With that, he began to pace with one hand on his back, and as he paced, he muttered:
"The lotus leaves and lotus branches are on the same water, and the sunset is low when picking flowers and returning.
The green bars are divided into north and south, and there is still singing around the embankment. ”
After a poem, it attracted applause from the audience.
"Good poetry, good poetry. He is worthy of being the first genius in Ningbo. ”
"Shen Mingchen is really not in vain!"
"It is said that Shaoxing is full of talents, and I don't think Ningbo is bad."
Shen Mingchen was praised like this, but his expression did not change, and he bowed his hand to everyone.
Xu Yan was taken aback, he didn't expect Shen Mingchen to come today.
This guy is the uncle of Shen Yiyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and of course, Shen Yiyi is just a child of Xu Yan's age.
Shen Mingchen is famous not only because he has a nephew, but also because of his poems.
Although he has no fame, he wrote more than 7,000 poems in his life, and is known as "the three major cloth poets of Wanli" together with Wang Zhideng and Wang Shucheng.
Xu Yan also admires Shen Mingchen and thinks that he lives very freely.
At this time, Qian Dehong glanced at Xu Yan, and Xu Yan said in his heart, this is the teacher who asked me to take the poem.
This poetry meeting was originally organized by Qian Dehong to make Xu Yan popular, and naturally Xu Yan had the opportunity to be in the limelight.
Knowing the apprentice Mo Ruoshi, Qian Dehong knew that Xu Yan was extremely talented in poetry, so he wanted to use his influence in the literary world to build momentum for Xu Yan as much as possible.
In this way, he won the name of a talent, and it will be easy to mix in both the literary world and officialdom in the future.
