After Tang Yin was relieved of the Yuan in the Tianfu Township Examination, he had the title of a great talent in Jiangnan and had become a thorn in the eyes of Jiangnan scholars. Most of the people who went to fight with Tang Yin in the hope of becoming famous in one fell swoop returned with a feather and laughed at shame.

Tang Yin is arrogant, and likes to make friends and visit famous scholars, and he is a little depressed and unhappy after posting a visit to Xie Duo, this time Xie Duo actually took the initiative to invite a "descendant" from Fujian to visit the house, and he swept Tang Yin's face.

The people who were present to learn the news immediately made a big fuss that they didn't care who Shen Xi was, they only knew that this was a great opportunity to disgrace Tang Yin and make them angry.

Shen Xi went back to prepare for meeting Xie Duo the next day, and when he and Su Tong went to the agreed wine shop for dinner in the afternoon, Su Tong had already brought a lot of Jiangnan scholars over.

Everywhere this Sutong goes, it seems that he can make friends.

Su Tong seriously introduced Shen Xi that most of Su Tong's friends were hostile to Shen Xi in the past, but when he arrived in a strange place, no one knew Shen Xi's prestige history in the scientific field, and he was very respectful to Shen Xi.

“…… This is Xiao Xie Yuangong, who has admired the name for a long time, and is fortunate to be fortunate to be in Bucheng. ”

It's basically a tone, and they talk to each other very happily, as if friends who have just met for a short time have become friends for many years.

Shen Xi knew that the reason why these people got close was nothing more than that Xie Duo allowed him to bring his friends to visit with him.

After all, Shen Xi was young, and on this occasion where scribes gathered, he appropriately showed some restraint. Su Tong stood up at this time and took the initiative to help him deal with these scholars.

Su Tong is very good at socializing, and he has saved a lot in Shenxi.

"Shen Gongzi, I heard that you are going to visit Xie Lao's house tomorrow, and I have been respecting him for a long time. I wonder if I can go with me? ”

Halfway through the banquet, these people finally made their intentions clear, and they all looked at Shen Xi with some expectations.

Su Tong had already prepared. Instead of Shen Xi, he replied: "When I first arrived in your place from Fujian, I heard that Xie Lao's sacrificial wine rarely sees guests on weekdays. If there are many people going, I am afraid that it will disturb the peace of the old gentleman. ”

The scholars glanced at each other and understood. You can go, but you can't go all, you can only choose one or two people from them, so that Xie Duo will not feel abrupt, but also satisfy these friends who have just made friends, and most importantly, you can get some special "benefits".

Yu Bucheng, who took the initiative to talk to him before, said: "Brother Su is reasonable. Can...... I am waiting for so many, who will go and who will not? ”

Su Tong smiled: "Then it depends on your sincerity!" ”

The faces of the scholars present were not very good-looking.

I thought that there were just two "hillbillies" from Fujian in front of me, and as long as I put down my body and complimented me, I could achieve my goal, who knew that these two people were so difficult to deal with.

Yu Bucheng sighed: "I, a scholar, want to see Xie Lao's sacrificial wine, this is sincerity, and I have no longevity...... Brother Su said this, it was really difficult for me to wait. ”

Su Tong smiled, noncommittal, but his face was clearly speaking. Don't fool me with such words.

Someone next to him immediately took off a piece of jade pendant from his arms: "Brother Su, Shen Gongzi, here is an ancient jade here, as a meeting gift." How is it? ”

A bunch of scholars looked at them with disdain, in order to see Xie Duo, they were really willing to spend their blood.

You send ancient jade, what should we send?

Su Tong smiled and took Gu Yu over to appreciate it for a while, then looked at Shen Xi with a smile and asked for Shen Xi's opinion.

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "I came from afar, and it is my honor to be given by Mr. Xie to see me. How can it be forgiven to accept gifts and gifts in private? ”

Sutong will know. handed the jade pendant back, and said with a smile: "Brother Shen understands what he said. Friendship can be there, but it's ...... Who goes and who doesn't is best judged by talent...... How about you write a prayer post and let us choose two of them to go together? ”

Before the scholars could answer, they heard the sound of three fans slapping the table from the next table.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

This was followed by three deep voices: "Good! Good! Good! ”

One person immediately stood up, about thirty years old, with a broad forehead, a square face, a high nose bridge, a pair of large, bright eyes, and a smile that gave people a sunny feeling. There is no beard under his chin, he looks very energetic, and his body is covered with a scribe's robe, standing there with a bit of a celebrity style.

The man walked over, saluted with fans in both hands, and said, "Everyone, I wonder if you can join in here?" I really want to visit Xie Lao's sacrificial wine. ”

Not only did Su Tong not know this person, but even the scholars in Nanjing City seemed to be very unfamiliar with him, and they looked at each other one by one.

Su Tong stood up and saluted and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

"Under the surname Zhu, the word Xizhe, I have seen you." The scribe replied.

If it is called "Zhu Xizhe", there are very few people present who have heard about it, but some people still react, isn't this fucking Zhu Yunming Zhu Zhishan? Zhu Yunming is his real name, the word Xizhe, the number branch refers to life, and it is also known as Zhu Zhishan!

The famous Wuzhong talent!

In terms of current fame, it is a few points higher than Tang Bohu.

Zhu Yunming is known for poetry and calligraphy, writing epitaphs can be regarded as a must, in the south of the Yangtze River, if any of those wealthy families die, they will be asked to write epitaphs, which often causes a sensation in the literary world.

Zhu Zhishan failed to try seven times in his life, and he didn't let go of petty officials until his later years, the so-called love field, literary field was proud, and officialdom was frustrated.

But Zhu Zhishan is different from Tang Bohu, his family background is good, and his maternal grandfather Xu Youzhen was named a martial artist and a scholar of Huagai Hall because of his plot to restore Ming Yingzong, and he was in charge of Wenyuan Pavilion and monopolized power. His grandfather Zhu Hao served as the political envoy of Shanxi Province to participate in politics, and returned to his hometown to buy property and land.

Even if Zhu Zhishan is not an official, he has the accumulation of his ancestors, and he has no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

When Zhu Zhishan said this, the faces of the scholars present were all ugly.

Regarding Zhu Yunming's reputation, they have long heard that this person married a Nanjing daughter-in-law Li, who is considered a son-in-law in Nanjing, and his mother-in-law died in the middle of the year.

You're such a good at poetry and writing, and you try to write a prayer post with ordinary scholars, isn't this a meaning for Jinshi to try to make a fuss with children?

Although the fame of Zhuzhishan is very great in the Jiangnan generation, it is also average in Fujian.

Su Tong thought for a moment. Zhu Xizhe, hey, I don't know this person. Forget it, it doesn't matter which onion he is. He can compare it if he wants, anyway, I have already discussed it with someone, and the result is impossible to change.

It turned out that long before Su Tong took these scholars to see Shen Xi, someone in private asked him to make peace, expressing his willingness to give various benefits to get the opportunity to see Xie Duo and make a name for himself.

It's a pity that Shen Xi doesn't accept gifts, Su Tong knows how to be flexible and doesn't accept gifts. But the test article, whether it is well written or not, isn't it a sentence?

When the time comes, the gifts that should be accepted will be accepted, and Shen Xi will also be able to explain it, I will not offend anyone, and I will get more than one stone!

Su Tong agreed happily, but the scholar next to him was not happy.

Okay, you let us compete with the article, which means that we try to compete with you as a referee, which means that you are not a gentleman, we are students?

This is already excessive. If you find a great talent who is famous for his poetry and essays in Jiangnan to compare with us, what is the point of this competition?

Let's just throw in the towel at the beginning!

Compared with Su Tong, who did not have much respect for Zhu Zhishan, Shen Xi could be said to be full of courtesy to Zhu Zhishan. He stood up, saluted respectfully, and then asked: "Mr. Zhu is famous, if you want to visit Mr. Xie, you should go to the house to pay respects, why do you want to fight with me for a long time?" ”

Su Tong looked at Shen Xi in surprise, wondering why Shen Xi called "sir" to a stranger?

Zhu Zhishan sighed helplessly: "If I can see Mr. Xie below, I won't take the liberty to come, isn't this ...... Can't see it? ”

Shen Xi probably understood.

This meeting with Zhu Zhishan. It's not a coincidence at all, but the other party is intentionally coming. I wanted to find an opportunity to entrust Shen Xi and Su Tong and ask him to follow Xie Duo.

Or Zhu Zhishan is unwilling. He is such a famous genius in the south of the Yangtze River, proficient in all kinds of poetry and articles, and even the disciples he accepts are all great talents, but he failed to try twice, and he wants to know what he can't do.

And as the former Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine, and a recognized scholar in the world, Xie Duo will definitely be able to give him some advice.

Others went to see Xie Duo for fame, but he asked for a meeting, purely for advice.

Shen Xi felt very honored to get acquainted with Zhu Zhishan, a great talent in the south of the Yangtze River, although Shen Xi wanted to see Tang Bohu the most, but Zhu Zhishan's reputation was not weak at all.

Zhu Zhishan's calligraphy, the name of the sea, its regular script in the early years of the fine, Zhao Mengfu, Chu Suiliang, and from Europe, Yu and chase the "two kings". Cursive master Li Yong, Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu, profound skills, rotten bones. His representative works include "Taihu Lake Poetry Scroll", "Gong Hou Citation", "Red Cliff Fu" and so on. The books "Six-Body Book Poetry Volume", "Cursive Du Fu Poetry Volume", "Nineteen Ancient Poems", "Cursive Tang Poetry Volume" and "Cursive Poetry Han Volume" are all priceless heirlooms for later generations.

Despite such a prominent qualification, for some reason, after Shen Xi saw Zhu Zhishan, he naturally remembered someone and jumped into the river......

"Since Zhu Gongzi is willing to read the article together, then please sit down." Shen Xi made a gesture of please.

Su Tong's heart was full of questions, pulled Shen Xi aside, and asked, "Brother Shen, do you know this person?" ”

Shen Xi couldn't explain for a while, so he simply mentioned: "Jiangnan celebrities." ”

Su Tong didn't take it too seriously, in this land south of the Yangtze River, there are not many other people, there are more celebrities than lice on his body, is he a scholar who dares to call himself a celebrity.

Su Tong didn't take it too seriously, and immediately sat down.

The topic is Su Tong's mouth, write a prayer post, but he didn't dare to call himself a gentleman, so he had to pick up a brush to write, a worship post is not very practical words, at most write more than 100 words, which is a lot. Tell your identity, origin, and purpose of visiting, add some compliments, and write a payment, sprinkled with more than 100 words, even if it is completed.

There were a lot of scholars present who wrote a lot of worship posts, most of them were empty words, and they couldn't write a flower, and they wrote down one after another, and everyone was very satisfied with their own articles.

But I saw that the talented man next to him didn't come to write a post at all, he simply came to write a splendid article on the world.

As soon as Zhu Zhishan began to write, he couldn't stop the car.

"Sigh and mourn", it turned out to be this kind of fussy word, everyone stopped writing, only Zhu Zhishan was still writing there.

Everyone's faces were a little embarrassed.

It would be an honor to make a fuss with a great talent, but today this great talent is their competitor, and he can't be complimented.

Those who discussed with Su Tong to give gifts in private were full of confidence, but at this time, they muttered in their hearts, if Su Gongzi can't step down for a while, and he has to choose Zhu Zhishan, even if I give more gifts, it's useless.

Finally, after writing more than 400 words, Zhu Zhishan stopped, read through it first, with a little pride on his face, and then handed over his "answer sheet".

Su Tong didn't even bother to read it, pushed Zhu Zhishan's article to the side, picked up the two articles and said, "I think it's better to read these two articles." ”

The people present didn't mind whose article they were chosen, at this time they only knew that Zhu Zhishan's article was unsuccessful, which was a very interesting topic.

Zhu Zhishan's face suddenly turned pale: "Your Excellency, you said, where is the next worship post not written well?" ”
