Chapter 15: The Cultural Meeting (4)

The businessman's words and deeds were inevitably a little overstepping, Chen Yili frowned, and was seen by everyone, they all understood the meaning, and stopped talking, just watching the businessman dance alone.

Zhang Forestry and Yang Cheng rubbed their hands, and the merchant panicked when he saw it. If you want to see it, you are about to fight, and at this time, Sun Youcai came out to persuade him. He is the owner of the money and one of the organizers, if he messes up here, he will inevitably leave a bad impression in Chen Yili's heart. If it is handled well, it can grow face.

"Both of you calm down, all of you are guests here, is it okay for Friend Xu to be Luonan's ......?"

"Huh? ...... you say this" Zhang Linlin's eyes widened, he heard what Sun Youcai said, and still suspected that Xu Qing was a liar.

"Okay, good, Friend Xu is from Luonan," Sun Youcai said: "But just now, Friend Xu didn't recognize the county lieutenant, it was really suspicious." ”

"No, no, he is the only one who knows the truth of the county lieutenant, how can it be used as a credential?" Shangguan Yi said: "To check Xu Q~, whether the sixth brother of Xu Chu is from Luonan or not, you need to come to a notarized one." ”

"Brother You Shao, isn't it too much to be so active and mobilize the public, just for one account?" Sun Youcai was displeased because Shangguan Yi interrupted him.

"Hey! In this way, he was going to drive my lord out just now, didn't he stir up the people? Now it's over, your face is thick! Yang Cheng lifted the hem of his clothes and scolded, completely losing the "doctor" atmosphere that he had when he was quiet before.

"It's not rough, this matter is related to my friend's reputation, it's better to distinguish it clearly!" Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice.

"Okay, you say, what can be used as a notary?" Sun Youcai was annoyed: "This matter can't be known only to you Shangguanyi, everyone must know!" ”

"This matter is easy to hear," Shangguan Yi said: "The so-called people who don't meet each other when they hear the voice, just let the two of them tell the anecdote about Xu Gong's personality." In this matter, not only can I argue whether it is true or false, but also Chen Gong! ”

"This ......" The businessman and Sun Youcai both hesitated, Sun Youcai hesitated because he calmed down, remembering that Chen Yili was still beside him, and his face was too ugly just now.

The merchant hesitated because he had never seen Xu Qing at all, and he had only heard it just now. It was only because everyone talked about Xu Qing just now that he took advantage of the situation and used his hometown to fight for eyeballs. I wanted to stop in moderation and leave after making a profit, but who knew that it would become like this?

It's all to blame on those three troubled ghosts, grab the seat if it's robbed, go grab it yourself, let me come out of this!

The arrow is on the string, how can you show weakness when you meet on a narrow road? Thanks to the businessman's decades of experience in business, his heart and mouth are united, and as soon as his eyes roll, a vivid story comes out.

"Ahem, then I'll talk about it first......" The merchant said: "This thing is also strange, it is said that when Xu Qingxu was a child, he liked to wet the bed." Hey, bedwetting, who didn't pee as a kid? But Xu Gong's urine is different, the sheets he pees out are not washed, and they are dried to be a landscape painting! ”

The people next to him were surprised.

"That day Xu Gong, alas, rude," the merchant covered his mouth, indicating that the anecdote of "Xu Gong" was a little bad, and continued: "Xu Gong wet the bed again, the sheets were drying, and a wandering Taoist priest came over, pointed to the painting made of urine and was shocked, saying that Xu Gong will be the founder of the sect in the future!" ”

The people next to him said no wonder, but Xu Qing glared at Zhang Linlin and Yang Cheng, and said that you are not allowed to laugh, if you dare to laugh, I will not introduce you to the girl.

Sun Youcai stroked his palm and said: "Well, this matter is impressive, although it is weird, but there are many strange things, according to Xu Gong's talent, it may not be true hahaha......"

Everyone else is following the Tao, yes, yes, this thing must be true. The merchant was overjoyed, and couldn't help but admire the kung fu he had honed over the years, and said that what he didn't have was there.

It's just that Xu Qing, Shangguan Yi, and Chen Yili all sneered.

Everyone instantly realized that something was wrong, only to see Chen Yili waving his hand and saying, "Foot, please go!" ”

"Please go? I? The merchant pointed to himself and asked, obviously incredulous: "Why?" ”

"Xu Gong was not from Luonan, he first made military achievements in Shandong and moved to Luonan. How can what you say be true? ”

"Huh? The county old man spared his life. The merchant knelt down to apologize, and the others blinked, wondering why things were going this way.

"Hmph, today's Wenhui, don't care about your mistakes, you go, if I see you framing others again, I will make you eat the board!"

The merchant fled, and a few others quietly departed. Although the merchant walked away with his tail between his legs, there were still many people who were hostile to Xu Qing.

Most of the people who participated in this kind of cultural meeting had circles, and the so-called Confucian merchants were a circle, headed by people like Sun Youcai. One is a scholar outside the door, and the other is Chen Yili's own protégé. Three circles made up the literary meeting, one contributed money, one contributed, and one helped the leisure, and the literary meeting turned around. Xu Qing moved the people in the circle, so he was naturally hostile.

At noon, some porters used buckets to carry the West Lake fatty fish up, and some picked up local wild vegetables, and a cook cleaned them up, took out the wine and set up a banquet.

It's just that this banquet is only eaten by some people, such as those who contribute money and efforts, and many people can only excuse themselves to leave, such as helping people who are idle.

Now there are more than 30 people left, and there are five tables, Xu Qing naturally sits down to eat vegetables "shamelessly", the fish is a good fish, the dishes are fresh, and he has an appetite when he looks at it. But as soon as you taste it, it's very different, not to mention the taste, it's too fishy.

It turns out that these literati pay attention to high and fragrant, and do not eat onions, ginger and garlic, so this fish is very fishy.

At this time, Xu Qing became a Sven. Eat one bite at a time, take a few bites, stop eating,

Drinking again, drinking to help Wensi, Xu Qing also took a sip. However, he is not good at drinking, nor is he good at tasting wine, and he can't taste it.

When the wine is half-drunk, it is time to write an article.

Since ancient times, there is no first, there is no second, and the literati are used to being light, so the literary meeting always has to push a fair person to be upright, and this person can learn to be judged by people who are admired by all parties. The status and prestige of a righteous person are also often related to whether a literary meeting is valued. Chen Yili not only likes to be such an upright person, but also can indeed convince the public, and his literary status is also high.

Seeing that everyone had stopped, Chen Yili groaned, raised a glass and said politely: "The person who wrote the article is also the great cause of the country." Among them, the details are big products, and the omitted ones are small pieces, I like the sketches the most, and I like them to talk about it, and they are leisurely. ”

Everyone nodded, and Chen Yili continued: "Commenting on the article, I secretly think that if you don't know the world of the ancients, you can't talk about the ancients. Knowing its world, not knowing the location of the ancients, and not talking about its text, your article, this official knows its reason, does not know its situation, and does not dare to comment on it. “

Everyone knows that Chen Yili's words are self-humble, so as not to upset others when he comments on the article.

As soon as Chen Yili is demoted to humility, someone will naturally promote him. So Sun Youcai said: "County respect, the ancients said: 'If a gentleman occupies his position, he will think of his official death, and if he does not get the position, he will think about his rhetoric to understand his way.'" If you help me to wait for enlightenment, it's too late for me to be grateful, just say it. “

Sun Youcai's words were wonderful, everyone was surprised when they heard it, and Xu Qing couldn't see that he could say this, he should have found someone to catch the knife. After Sun Youcai finished speaking, everyone said yes together, and asked Chen Yili not to care about it for a while, and comment at will.

Seeing that everyone said this, Chen Zhixian pinched his beard and nodded, then glanced at the West Lake from afar, and then said to everyone: "Today is next to the West Lake for the literary meeting, and everyone also writes an article, just one leaf as the width and one stick of incense as the limit." Let the official have a look at the masterpieces of the three Wu talents. ”

Everyone said yes, and they had their own subordinates to move to the case. After the scholars said "You please go first", they took their seats. Xu Qing was also pulled by Shangguan Yi to sit on a case.

When they arrived at the desk, everyone pondered what Chen Zhixian said about a leaf of paper, is it so big on the case? This bit of paper, at most two or three hundred words, this limit is too strict.

Don't let everyone think about it, a maid lit incense sticks in front of Chen Yili and everyone.

Seeing this, many of the scholars were holding their pens, while others were motionless, closing their eyes and contemplating, as if they were making a draft.

For Xu Qing, this article meeting is just a formality, and it is a good intention of Shangguanyi. But Xu Qing's stinky words can't even compare to Xu Qi's, so it looks good when written.

So the five thousand thought that they would simply not write it, and then hide the white scroll while they were in chaos, and just deal with it.

When he was in Cangzhou, Xu Qing also wrote such entertainment articles, especially after writing "The Book of Persuasion" and "Sacrificing Crocodiles", many officials and literati came to him to write articles, wanting to use them as ink treasures, hide them at home, and keep them for their families.

At the beginning, one or two were so good, but when there were too many people to beg, Xu Qing couldn't resist it.

Over time, Xu Qing handed over these entertainment works to Huang Shimei, and Xiaoyue and the others dealt with them, or they did it for Qin Shi, and said that it was for him to practice writing.

Later, Xiao Yue and Qin Shi were also trained, so the articles that should be dealt with in this way were written very smoothly, and they were simply put to paper, and Xu Qing didn't need to bother with his own brains at all.

But now, they are not here, Zhang Linlin and Yang Cheng are also Ma Daha, Shangguanyi is sitting far away, and they can't shout.

Let's be hard, Mr. Dongguo also has to be like a little bit, Xu Qing raised his waist, pretended to pick up the pen, and spread a layer of paper.

A pen on the paper, oh, and the ink!

When Xu Qing was about to grind the ink, he frowned, it turned out that the four treasures of the study room in front of Xu Qing, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, were missing.

How can you write without ink called Xu Qing? Even if Xu Qing is full of economy, he can't bite his finger and write a blood book!

So Xu Qing could only put down his pen and sit with his hands on his knees.

On the other hand, people on the left and right are working hard to write, especially Sun Youcai, who wrote a hearty, 300-word article, which made him write 10,000 words.

Sitting among these people, Xu Qing looked a little dumbfounded, as if Jiang Lang was exhausted and couldn't brew an article, as if he wanted to hand in a blank scroll. Now that half of the incense has passed, everyone present has stopped writing, only Xu Qingkut is sitting in place
