Chapter 13: The Cultural Meeting (2)

Spring outing, summer swimming, autumn chrysanthemums, red mountains, winter snow. The so-called cultural meeting will either take advantage of the beautiful scenery or follow the festival. In the middle of winter, if there is snow, and it is not a solar term, it is really full and there is nothing to do.

Anyway, that's what Xu Qing thought.

Early the next morning, Xu Qing took Zhang Forestry and Yang Cheng to find Shangguanyi. Once born, second ripe, and after a short time, he got on Shangguanyi's "thief ship".

Anyway, eating and drinking other people's, Xu Qing didn't complain, sat down with peace of mind, watched the scenery, and ate melon seeds. When I walked to the middle of the lake, I met five or six small boats, and when I looked at the captain who was strutting, it turned out to be the few boats that were chartered yesterday.

Xu Qing's boat was big and tall, so he came out and stood on the side to face the wind. The clothes were fluttering, his expression was indifferent, and he smiled, and he almost waved his hand. In fact, the wind was blowing head-on, and it was cold to death, Xu Qing just wanted the demeanor, not the temperature.

After a while, his demeanor was gone-Xu Qing's snot flowed.

Cover your face and wipe your nose.

However, Shangguanyi's boat did not go with them, and only turned around in the lake and went ashore. The people hired a few wagons and headed west.

The carriage was open-curtained, and the person sitting in the carriage could watch the scenery from the side of the road. It's just that when the moon is in the moon, there are not many things that can be seen, and the mountains and waters are colorful, and there is a sense of dilapidation.

When the carriage was traveling, he suddenly saw a seventh-level stone tower above the cliff, Xu Qingxin said, how to transport the materials in such a dangerous place.

In the bumpy carriage, Xu Qing closed his eyes slightly, his right hand rested on the window, and he seemed to vaguely hear the sound of Sanskrit bells and drums in his ears. At this moment, I am leisurely and free, and I want to dream big for 500 years.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Shangguan Yi said to Xu Qing: "Brother Xu, it's here." ”

Oh, Xu Qing woke up leisurely and looked outside, rows of camphor, turquoise and turquoise, it is difficult to see this full of green in this winter.

After getting off the carriage, I saw an ancient temple, drank a cup of tea in the temple, took the refreshments, and then washed my face with a towel, and the feeling of fatigue disappeared suddenly, and I couldn't help but feel comfortable. This trip seems to be worth it.

What about the cultural meeting?

got into the carriage again, drove everyone up the mountain, experienced the willows and flowers a few times, and then saw a mountain pavilion. Looking at the West Lake on one side of the pavilion and the mountains at the back, it can be described as an excellent viewing platform!

Looking at the pavilion, there were already five or six scholars, all talking, and when they saw Xu Qing and others coming, a scholar walked over with his nostrils facing the sky and said, "Is there a post?" ”

Xu Qing thought to himself, how could he use this kind of person as a doorman, it seems that the person in the main meeting is a person who does not know how to use people. Shangguan Yi didn't mind, handed over the post, Xu Qing took a look, and saw the word Chen Yili written on the payment.

Xu Qing was surprised, and asked Shangguanyi, "Who is this Chen Yili?" ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Yi said slyly: "This Chen Yili is the county order of Qiantang County. ”

"What? Magistrate? Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I thought it was just a few sour and rotten literati, but it was actually involved in the government?" ”

It's not that Xu Qing is afraid, it's just that he is just a passerby, and he is naturally a head shorter, so it is not good to offend the local bureaucrats.

"That's not the case, I won't invite Brother Xu to sit down, wait a minute, you just play on the side, as long as Chen Yili doesn't target me, you won't make a move."

"You, you, I don't know what to say about you."

Shangguan Yi said with a smile: "This Chen Yili, who is good at poetry and writing, can also calligraphy and painting, is really an all-rounder, but he can't give full play to his ability to do this county order, and he loves to interact with local scholars and have fun." ”

Xu Qing suddenly heard it, it turned out that this Chen Yili was still an all-rounder, and even praised Shangguan Yi a few words, which was not bad. Of course, it is also possible that Shangguan Yi is prevaricating, Xu Qing glared at Shangguan Yi, and thought in his heart that if this Chen Yili is a talent, it is better to take the opportunity to join the command. This kind of person who has the ability but no opportunity has gathered the highest loyalty.

The person who read the post listened to the conversation between Shangguan Yi and Xu Qing, and couldn't help laughing: "Even Chen Gong doesn't know, and he still came to participate in the literary meeting?" ”

"This is a friend from another county, and I am offended." Shangguan Yi was good-natured, and hurriedly apologized, but only got back a cold snort. However, Xu Qing and the others still followed in.

You write essays, I have poems, and Ouyang Xiu writes bad poems to test the story of scholars.

Sit down, drink tea, and eat snacks, but this tea doesn't have to be in the temple, and I don't know if it's the reason for the tea, or the disdainful eyes next to it.

Shangguan Yi was too busy, this time, he was a special guest, and many people knew him, or "admired the name for a long time".

As soon as many carriages came up in a row, one of them got off the carriage and said: "Isn't this Brother You Shao, you are finally here, in order to please you as a god, I have wasted a lot of effort." ”

At the banquet, the later he comes, the higher his status, this person comes so late, and he shouts as soon as he arrives, I'm afraid he is the main party of the banquet.

Shangguan Yi said: "Where is it, just come to study, and get to know Chen Gong together." ”

"Brother You Shao is modest...... this person arched his hand again, glanced at everyone else in the pavilion, saw a boy in brocade, and said busily: "Hahaha, Brother Wei Jixian, I didn't expect you to come earlier than me?" ”

Shangguan Yi whispered to Xu Qing: "This person's original name is Sun Youcai, but he thinks this name is too cheesy, so he took another name called Sun Mu." Born in Yuhang County, the family has a lot of money, of course, it is just the light of his father's generation. He himself doesn't learn anything on weekdays, but he likes to be vassal, and he doesn't know how to write and ink, but he often buys poems and articles to fill the façade. ”

Xu Qing suddenly said after hearing this: "So that's the case." ”

Chen Yi couldn't stand it, so everyone had to wait, but there were some literati who were slower than Sun Youcai. There were many people who walked up the mountain, and there were also many scholars who came with beautiful women, who were drinking and talking, or playing with prostitutes.

Scholars are prostitutes, but it is a romantic thing.

Those who came on foot could only watch, envious, and at the same time looked at the intersection to see if the county order came. They want to show their bodies in front of the county order, hoping to be appreciated.

Xu Qing alone is quietly enjoying the scenery.

It's just that there are more and more people, and there are more and more "distinguished guests", Xu Qing was squeezed out of the pavilion and only fell aside. Shangguan Yi was too busy to take care of himself, so he could only look at Xu Qing embarrassedly in the crowd.

At this time, there was a cheer in the crowd, everyone looked at one place, and those who were sitting also hurriedly stood up and said excitedly: "Chen Gong is here!" ”

Xu Qing turned his head to look, and from Shangguan Yi's eyes, he recognized that the older one was Chen Yili, and the other younger ones should be Chen Yili's protégés.

All the scholars in the pavilion, real and fake, all came out, and Lao Yuan walked over with his hands and exclaimed: "Welcome Chen Gong!" ”

The protégé next to Chen Yili hurriedly walked in front of him and blocked the group of scholars who wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him. But there are some people they dare not stop, such as Sun Youcai and others.

There are still some people who did not come forward, such as Shangguan Yi and Xu Qing. Shangguan Yi is a "distinguished guest", and Xu Qing is a "lord, Shangguan", so there is no need to greet him. Not only because of this, but more importantly, Xu Qing wanted to take advantage of everyone coming out, quickly got into the pavilion, looked for a place to sit down, and looked like he wouldn't move his ass even if he was killed.

Chen Yili just exchanged greetings with a few gold owners, and suddenly remembered something, looked at the crowd and asked, "I don't know which one is Shangguan Youshao." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and Sun Youcai explained: "Shangguan You Shao is a talented man named by Chen Gong to invite. ”

As soon as Sun Youcai's voice fell, everyone laughed behind them: "Chen Gong, I was born here, I have admired Chen Gong's name for a long time, I wanted to see it from a close distance, but I couldn't ...... it."

The person who spoke was naturally Shangguan Yi, and after he finished speaking, he also looked at the people with pointed heads next to him.

Everyone got out of the way and let the official instrument in, Chen Gongxi said, "You Shao, you...... It's really a young and promising, the last time I watched you a "You Jade Emperor Peak", it was actually the first article today! ”

Shangguan Yi bowed and said busily: "Don't dare, don't dare, "You Jade Emperor Peak" is just a reckless position, small skills, small paths, in front of Chen Gong, it is really an axe, a child race." ”

Chen Yili continued to praise: "You Shao is modest, the old man is decaying, it is difficult to write articles, and you will be the one to pick the beam in the future." ”

When everyone heard this, they were both shocked and envious, what kind of person was this Shangguanyi, who actually got such praise from Chen Gong. Although it is inevitable that business will praise each other, it is Chen Yili's turn to say this, which is really rare.

Those scholars have only read the basic things of "Nineteen Ancient Poems", or they have already written things written by Chen Yili, and their time is spent on preparing for the literary meeting, where do they have free time to read the current texts. is arrogant and arrogant, and they don't even look at the text of the same year, no matter how fragrant Shangguanyi's wine is, they can't smell it.

Shangguan Yi was also happy when he heard the praise, but he still said: "Speaking of the person who picks the beam, in another fifty years, I can't, but I know that a person can, not only in the future, but in today's world, he also deserves to be a champion." ”

"Oh? I don't know what ...... this is," Chen Yili asked.

"This person is the former Cangzhou Thorn History, Xu Qing, Lord Xu."

When everyone heard this, they all turned their heads and ears, and asked together, who is this Xu Qing?

Chen Yili laughed out loud and said to Shangguan Yi: "Yes, You Shao, you are a well-read, this Xu Qing is an official and a poem, and he can be said to be powerful." And to make a pair, he is considered to have started a sect, but I haven't seen his article yet. The article is not good, and I am afraid that it will not be a champion. ”

Belch! What is Cangzhou? What is it to be a pair, the scholars present all realized that they were really frogs at the bottom of the well, and they didn't know anything about what Chen Gong said. How can this be a sycophant?

Xu Qing listened to it in the back, his face turned slightly red, this Shangguan Yi wouldn't just take him out of the bucket, right?

"Chen Gong......" Shangguan Yi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Youcai, Sun Youcai said: "Hey, this Xu Thorn History is still in Cangzhou, so it's better to talk about the things in front of you." ”

"Good, good...... You Shao will go with me to sit ......" Chen Yili grabbed Shangguan Yi's hand and took him to sit in the pavilion, while asking secretly: "Do you know how old Master Xu Qingxu is?" ”

"Oh, I've seen him in Chang'an, and he should be the year of the weak crown this year."

"What? Weak crown?! ”

Chen Yili's body trembled a few times, obviously shocked by Xu Qing's young age.
