Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Collected Works of the Qing Dynasty

In the morning, Sun Dan opened his eyes, and the end of his nose was a refreshing sandalwood fragrance. In the room, there is a faint smoke rising from the copper incense burner, and the large room is bright and clean, and the sunlight is shining through the window.

It's still morning, but the sound of cicadas is already like raindrops.

Summer seems to have come in an instant.

It is already the end of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, which is equivalent to the beginning of the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar, and the weather should be hot.

The ecology in ancient times was good, and summer came late. But last night, because I drank too much wine, my head still hurts.

Ten days have passed since the end of the hospital examination.

These ten days have been busy for Sun Dan, and when the list came out, many talented students from the same period immediately came to visit Sun Mansion with films. In these years, the people who can show off their talents are all amazing people, as far as the people who come to visit Sun Dan are mostly seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys, all of whom are children of famous families in Shandong. As soon as these people saw Sun Dan, they were all enthusiastic as if they had known each other for many years.

After all, they are all fellow villagers in Shandong, and now they are famous and have squeezed into the squire class. The so-called rich and easy wife, noble and easy friend, basically speaking, these people will be regarded as the local ruling class in the future, and they should move around more in normal times. Moreover, it is very likely that these new talents will be promoted in the future, and they will be promoted to the rank of scholar and official in the court.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been selected by imperial examinations, and soon cultivated a large civil service group. And what maintains this civilian-bureaucratic group is mostly the relationship between teachers and students and the same year. Among them, the relationship in the same year is the most important, and it will enter the officialdom. As soon as everyone meets, they don't say a word, and they will be ranked first: who is the talent of that year, and who is the Jinshi of which year.

As long as it is mentioned that they are on the list in the same period, even if the two have never met before, they immediately become affectionate like good brothers. In the future, they will also help each other and support each other in the officialdom.

Ten years of cold window, all I want is to enter the imperial examination. Although everyone is still a small talent, people with a heart have begun to pave their future connections as early as possible.

Sun Dan is the head of the case, and he is favored by Yang Shen and has a great reputation. In the eyes of Shandong scholars, he is a popular candidate for the next session, and it can be said that he has a great future.

He's just an ordinary talent now, and he's still close. If you win the promotion in the future, or even a jinshi, and then want to be affectionate, you may not have such a good opportunity.

As a result, Shandong scholars continued to visit and send a large number of gifts.

Ten days later, Sun Dan actually received more than 100 taels of silver and a mountain of gifts.

Sun Dan was just a small civil servant in his previous life, and he was accustomed to seeing the prestige and nourishment of the leaders, and he was determined to make a difference as soon as he arrived in the Ming Dynasty. Gifts are still exchanged, and he also prepares gifts for a return visit.

In this way, from the day the list was released to the present, Sun Dan has not had a day free. Every day, I travel with a group of talents, sing and sing poems, make poems to dry my mouth, and drink until I have a headache. Sun Dan is not clumsy, the wine is dry as soon as it arrives, and his mouth is written.

Originally, he was not good at making poetry couplets or anything, and he deliberately avoided it. But this kind of literati will be elegant, if you don't drag a few sentences, you will be looked down upon. So, during this time, he didn't escape from "sex", and copied more than a dozen nonsense poems from the poems of the Qing people to deal with things. Fortunately, although the poetry of the Qing Dynasty is dull and rigid, it also stands out from the crowd in this group of young talents. Everyone also has couplets in the Yahui, and this matter is also simple, Sun Dan has a set of ancient and modern couplets in his database, but he can barely deal with the past. As for the other tricks, Sun Dan hasn't encountered them yet, and he won't be "dewed" stuffing.

Soon, Sun Danhu's plagiarized Qing poems spread in the market, and a few of Nalan Rongruo's small words were the repertoire of the singers of the Qinglou.

There are even better people who put together the poems sung and harmonized between Sun Dan and his literary friends during this time, as well as the articles made in the three examinations of the county and the government, and published them together, and made a booklet, called "The Small Collection of the Qing Dynasty". Chuanqing is Sun Dan's new word for himself, after all, he is a sixteen-year-old adult, and now he has gained fame, and it is not like a word if he doesn't take a word. His word comes from the Internet "Usurpation of the Qing", and he is not afraid that the Internet writer who works for the Nanjing Development and Reform Commission in later generations will ask him for copyright fees.

Still, he was annoyed by unscrupulous booksellers who stole his poems. "The Small Collection of the Qing Dynasty" sold very well as soon as it came out, and Sun Jia complained to him once when he saw Sun Dan, saying that he didn't know that there was such a collection and didn't know that it would be handed over to the Sun family book store to publish the book, and it was cheaper for outsiders.

Although he was busy during this time, Sun Dan still took the time to finish "Journey to the West", and it was not interesting to delay it any longer, the future Emperor Jiajing was a devout Taoist, if he knew that the author of this book was himself, he was afraid that it would be very bad.

Moreover, during this time, Sun Dan received a lot of gifts sent in the same year, and his personal property swelled to an astonishing 300 taels, that is, 300,000 yuan in later generations, which is also considered a medium-sized family in Shandong. Looking at the silver in vain, Sun Dan sighed, it is still good to have a good reputation, you don't have to use your brains, naturally someone will send money over. In the future, I will be promoted to a junior sergeant, and after becoming an official, I don't know what the situation will be.

is finally out of poverty, and the manuscript fee for the book "Journey to the West" is not so important.

Sun Dan also didn't care that the protagonist in the book needed to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties before he could get the scriptures, and when Comrade Tang Seng had just been caught by the spider spirit and returned to the cave to prepare for harmony, he let the Buddha appear at the last moment, directly collected the female monster, and threw a large bundle of true scriptures to Sun Monkey, so that they could return to Chang'an to make a difference, and asked him not to make trouble for himself.

"I'm a Buddha, and I'm dealing with the aftermath of your monkey all day long, like words?"

Seeing such an ending, Sun Jia couldn't cry or laugh, and only said that from now on, the pen name of Penglai Immortal would be ruined.

"If it's ruined, it's ruined, is it possible that I will have to write for the rest of my life in the future?" Sun Dan spread his hands and said secretly: I don't know if writing like this is a bad ending?

Surprisingly, as soon as the finale of "Journey to the West" was released, the sales volume was fifty percent higher than in the past. The reader saw this tangled ending, and although he scolded him badly, he could only accept it helplessly.

It wasn't until twenty years later that a poor scholar named Wu Chengen saw the original of "Journey to the West" and was so angry that he started to make up the middle part, which was regarded as the end of Sun Dan's heart disease.

"Journey to the West" is just a game by Sun Dan in order to solve the problem of food and clothing when he was poor, except for bringing him more than a hundred taels of silver, but it does him no good.

On the contrary, "The Small Collection of the Qing Dynasty" brought Sun Dan a lot of fame. Shandong's literary youth sighed at the elegant and agile poems; Students who are interested in entering the imperial examination carefully figure out the three exquisite eight-strand texts.

Early in the morning of the second day of the release of the list, Sun Henian went to Lunan counties with Yang Shen and Wang Yuanzheng.

Sun Dan got an independent courtyard, and the people in the house respected him very much, and he lived comfortably.

It's just that I drank too much during this time, and my body couldn't bear it.

Sun Dan woke up, "rubbed" his swollen head, and decided to go back to Zouping's hometown in two days, and stay in Jinan again, he had to be drunk to death. It's been more than a month since I've been out, and I don't know how Zhiniang is now. Fortunately, there are still dozens of taels of silver savings at home, and Zhi Niang's life should be good.

Sitting on the bed in a daze, Sun Hao walked in from outside the courtyard from a distance, and before the person entered the house, a loud voice came in first: "Brother Dan, I'm in trouble, the guy named Feng Zhen came to the door and said that he wanted to meet Master Tan." Haha, you've become a light master. ”

Sun Dan smiled: "What kind of light master am I, I can only be a master after I win the lift, it's still early!" ”
