As the crowd entered the city, Fan Jin's status division in this group of people basically figured out the situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The scholar named Zhang Erlang is actually not a few years older than himself, but he is the leader of this line. These scholars come from the two provinces of Huguang and Jiangxi, of which Jiangxi is a major cultural and educational province and has always produced talents. When Yan Song was in power, he was known as the talented man of the Manchu Dynasty, and as soon as the emperor went to the court, all ears were Jiangxi dialect.

Although since the fall of Yan Song, the friends have been implicated, and the prestige of Jiangxi people has been greatly reduced, but the cultural level is there, and the education level will not be lost because of the fall of a certain person.

Literati intersect with each other, and talent comes first. Generally speaking, whether it is a group of scholars from this province or across provinces, those who can be the leaders in the team are either older, or their fame and talent really suppress others. This Zhang Erlang talks very freely, but he is somewhat squirming, more like the kind of second ancestor who has been praised since he was a child, and he can't say that he doesn't have it in terms of talent, but he can't talk about the height of the leader.

Tang Xianzu has high attainments in drama, excellent in writing and ink, and is also a number of figures in the whole Jiangxi. Although they are all talents, their popularity is far higher than that of Fan Jinwei. Zhang Erlang's writing and ink are not necessarily stronger than Tang Xianzu, and he does not have an overwhelming advantage over other scholars.

And except for Tang Xianzu, several other scholars mostly took a respectful attitude towards Zhang Erlang, which was a bit like the meaning of the staff meeting the proprietor, which made Fan Jin feel that Zhang Erlang's identity was not trivial, most of them were children of famous families, and the family power was very considerable.

However, he probably wanted to play tricks like the White Arowana costume to prevent others from mentioning his real name, and even when Tang Xianzu was about to introduce his name, he intercepted him. The other scholars also tacitly agreed not to mention his name anymore, and only said some nonsense such as wind and snow, and the weather is really good.

Tang Xianzu doesn't seem to be exactly the same as these people, but it's not hostile or estranged, and on the whole, it's not far away. He probably didn't want Fan Jin to go all the way with the other party, so he stopped talking and stopped mentioning Zhang Erlang's identity, and only talked about some opera and things in the script.

Several scholars were not as interested in opera as Tang Xianzu, and the main focus of everyone's conversation was He Xinyin's lecture at Yuelu Academy, and the subsequent literary meeting. The education level of Huguang is slightly inferior to that of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, but Yuelu Academy is a hard brand in Huguang, which can be called a unique show, which is enough to compete with well-known academies in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places.

Speaking from the heart, even the official school in Wuchang Mansion City has a far lower education level than Yuelu Academy. The knowledge level and literary prestige of those scholars in the government are far from those of Confucius Mountain of Yuelu Academy, and many scholars themselves are also from Yuelu. Although this academy is a folk school, its prestige and level are far above that of government schools.

Since it is not an official school, the content of its teaching is not controlled by the imperial court, unlike things like the scriptures and the Sexual Principles that are only taught in the official school. In recent years, the content of his teachings has been particularly focused on the study of mind and far more on science, and has cultivated many new forces for the disciples of Daming Mind.

Cheng Zhu Lixue and Lu Wang Xinxue are actually branches of Song Studies, and there is no obvious difference in academic thought. For example, in Wang Yangming's biography, there are such things as "The conscience of my heart, that is, the so-called heavenly principle." "The heart is reason. This heart is free from selfish desires, which is the principle of heaven, and there is no need to add a point from the outside. "Only in this heart to eliminate human desires and save heavenly principles." "The sage narrates the Six Classics, just to correct people's hearts, but to preserve heavenly principles and eliminate human desires." "As long as you go to people's desires and keep heavenly principles, it is kung fu. When you are quiet, you should think about people's desires and save heavenly principles, and when you are moving, you should think about people's desires and save heavenly principles. This kind of text. Therefore, learning the mind is not deviant, and it is easier for readers to accept it.

However, with the development of the times, to the Jialongwan period, the development of the Ming folk psychology gradually surpassed the science of science, although the science is still dominated by science, but on the side of the people, it is the study of the mind gradually became a trend. Zhang Juzheng studied under Xu Jie, and Xu Jie's study under Nie Bao, Nie Bao himself, is the great Confucian of the Taizhou School in Yangming Xinxue, and the influence of Xinxue can be seen.

For example, Zhang Shilu in Guangzhou, whose word Jingzhai is a tribute to Lu Jiuyuan, the originator of Xinxue (Lu Jiuyuan's word Qianzhai), from the name to the word. Even Guangdong, the so-called land of smoke miasma, is so popular with psychology, and other places are not known.

And the so-called Mr. Fushan He Xinyin, in the Wanli Dynasty, is considered an extremely outstanding figure in Shangxinxue. His real name is Liang Ruyuan, and Nie Bao are both in the same vein of the Taizhou School, studying under the great Confucian Yan Jun of Xinxue, and then breaking the door of the teacher to turn against him, but he is still a famous scholar and writer who moves the world.

Tang Xianzu studied under the famous scholar Luo Rufang, and Luo Rufang is He Xinyin's fellow disciple, counting it, He Xinyin is still Tang Xianzu's uncle and uncle. In his hometown, he also set up a cuihetang, lived together as a family, and his property was distributed according to his needs. According to Fan Jin's view, this is a bit like the utopian XX doctrine of later generations in Europe, and the things that Owen and Fu Liye engaged in, also ended in failure like them.

Its most famous thing is that he united with Lan Daoxing to overthrow Yan Song during the Jiajing period, and because of this, he was envied by others, and had to go around the world incognito and pseudonym, and he didn't even dare to return to his hometown.

But no matter what, in today's world, He Xinyin is not only a famous Confucian, but also a well-educated scribe, and has the name of a saint in Huguang and even the entire southeast. He came to Yuelu Academy to give a lecture, which was naturally a major event in the local literary circle, and after the lecture, he also knew that there must be entertainment projects such as literary clubs, and there were also beauties with red sleeves and fragrance.

Poetry, fame, beauty, these topics are attractive enough for most readers. Zhang Erlang mentioned this, but he seemed a little disdainful, and he was not very convinced of He Xinyin in his words, he only said,

"In the field, it is still useless to determine success or failure by articles, and it is useless to be famous. The things he talked about can't be put on the table, and he can only fool some people in the countryside, so he has to be regarded as a wild fox Zen, and he can't get on the big stage. Don't believe him? It's not like you're still going to do the eight-strand article, and you don't dare to have the slightest violation. We scholars must first figure out what is the knowledge of our own life, and what is dispensable, that is, this kind of private learning, so we will invite a deceitful and famous thief like He Xinyin to give a lecture, and there will be absolutely no way in the official school. ”

"What Brother Zhang said is, then is Brother Zhang going to give this lecture?"

"We don't have to listen to lectures, so what's the use of listening to him talk about those things? But Yuelu Academy should be taken a look, no matter what, it is also a famous attraction, and there is no reason to go away, right? Besides, Changsha is not only one He Xinyin, there are still many good places. I went to Changsha this time, in fact, I came to Chongren Bookstore for the treasure of the town store, the family is strict and likes the two things for a long time, as a son of man, since he should be filial piety and respect the elder, and help the family is strict but wish. ”

A scholar said: "Brother Zhang, are you talking about the Tang and Song in the bookstore?" ”

Fan Jin asked, "One Tang and one Song, what is that?" ”

"Brother Fan has something to know, this Chongren Bookstore is the property of King Ji's Mansion, the shopkeeper Song Chongren is dead, and now the shopkeeper is his brother Song Chongli, who is the steward of the palace. Think about how precious the palace is, there is no shortage of good products in it. This Tang and Song Dynasty is the best of the best. One of the Tang Dynasty is a true work of Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty. Not to mention this, Brother Fan also knows that most of the authentic works that are named today are fakes, and even the paintings of Tang Yin of the Dynasty are now faked, not to mention those of the previous dynasty? But the authentic works of Yan Lugong of Chongren Bookstore are real and valuable. The other Song Dynasty is a Song version of the book, which is a New Tang Dynasty book published during the Northern Song Dynasty. Since the grandfather of Chengzu cultivated the Yongle ceremony, the folk Song version of the book has entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, which is extremely rare to see. Occasionally, there are mostly Buddhist scriptures, such as this New Tang Dynasty book, which is very rare, and it is really a treasure. The owner of the shop does not take it out to show people, only as a disguise, my generation can not afford to buy it, if you can take a few looks, it can be regarded as an ancestor of virtue. ”

Zhang Erlang shook his head and said: "You guys, don't follow the clouds, now there are not many Song version books in Wenyuan Pavilion." When the second temple of Wushi was born, he let the talented man Yang Shen steal it, and now he doesn't know where he is gone. In recent years, there have been more and more Song edition books in the world, and they were all stolen out at that time. ”

Before the words fell, one of his fellow brothers touched him lightly with his hand, signaling him to pay attention to his words and deeds, but Zhang Erlang said disapprerovingly: "What did you do when you touched me, I didn't say the wrong thing, I don't believe it, go to Wenyuan Pavilion to have a look, and there are a few Song version books...... I've been to Wenyuan Pavilion and read it on the spot, but there aren't a few of them......"

This Zhang Erlang ...... Huguang people...... Wenyuan Pavilion. Fan Jin had probably guessed the identity of this person.

Wenyuan Pavilion is the cabinet duty room, except for the cabinet ministers, only the samurai on duty can enter, since this person is a noble son, of course he will not be a martial artist's son, then the rest of the identity is the cabinet minister. Today, the surname Zhang in the DPRK is from Huguang, who else is there besides Zhang Juzheng? This Zhang Erlang must be Zhang Sixiu, the second son of the Zhang family.

In this way, it is not difficult to explain why these three brothers are as beautiful as demons, after all, Zhang Ju is a beautiful man in the country, how can his children be ugly. It is no wonder why the words and deeds of the second son of Zhang are full of the style of the second ancestor.

In his previous life, he also saw this kind of high-ranking son, mentioning the secrets of the palace like a few treasures, and taking pleasure in telling secrets that others don't know or dare not tell, so as to praise his net worth. After all, he is just a young man in his twenties, and it is extremely normal to want to be in the limelight with a good face. There is nothing bad about talking about these things, and it will not harm the interests of others, and in his opinion, it is a little naïve at best, but it is not a bad deed.

At this time, Fan Jin was a little glad in his heart that Fang had just been outside the city gate, if it weren't for that, he was afraid that he would miss it with Zhang Sixiu. For him, the purpose of the imperial examination is to become an official, but the way to become an official is not necessarily the imperial examination.

Connections and friendships are no lighter than the imperial examination, and today, what line can guarantee his success better than Zhang Juzheng? Moreover, from the moment the new law was implemented, it was difficult for him to cut off contact with the Gangneung Party, and it was better to take the initiative to take refuge in the past than to be Gangneung. At this time and now, Fan Jin was secretly grateful to Tang Xianzu in his heart, the other party was really his nobleman.

Zhang Sixiu's two brothers obviously couldn't persuade him, and still listened to him talk about the secrets of Wenyuan Pavilion and the like, and while he was talking, a young man in his twenties walked over on the opposite side, and he seemed to be dressed as a well-dressed person. It seems that his mood is a little low, which is in contrast to Zhang Ershao, who takes everyone to travel in women's clothing. He bowed to Zhang Si from a distance, and whispered when he got closer: "Second son, take a step to speak." ”

Zhang Si corrected his words proudly, and said rudely: "Senior brother, if you have something to say to your face, don't be so weird." It's just a matter of buying a few books, so there won't be any twists and turns, right? ”

The scholar surnamed Gao's face was slightly embarrassed, "Second son, this really makes Xiao Sheng a little embarrassed." I thought that I was an old friend with the shopkeeper Song, and this transaction was foolproof. Who knew that the shopkeeper of Song bit to death, and the two treasures had already promised the prince of Ji, and even the deposit was received, so there was no easier reason......"

"Prince Ji ...... It just doesn't make sense! Zhang Sixiu's face instantly turned cold, you must know that he had already boasted about Haikou in front of everyone, regarded the two antiques as his own bag, and didn't want to make twists and turns, and suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, and he was not very polite to this scholar. Senior brother, you have a lot of money before, and you are foolproof from the clouds, why did things come to an end and there were twists and turns, this doesn't seem to be enough friendship, right? ”

"Really...... I really didn't expect that Shopkeeper Song had made an appointment......"

Zhang Sixiu's brother lightly bumped Zhang Sixiu again, and whispered a few words in his ear, Zhang Sixiu's face softened slightly, nodded at the scholar and said, "Senior brother, the liver is hot in autumn, I spoke a little rushed, don't mind." The deal is not benevolent, and there is always a turn in the transaction if it is not completed, so I will meet the boss in person and talk to him face to face. ”

"That's the best, please ask the second son to come with me once, maybe things will take a turn for the better."

Zhang Sixiu wants to go, and others naturally have no reason not to go, and even if it is to open their eyes, of course they have to follow. Tang Xianzu whispered to Fan Jin at the end of the team: "There is a city in Changsha City, and half of the city is the Jiwang Mansion. King Ji has a lot of power in this area, and if the second prince competes with King Ji's son for treasures, I'm afraid that there will be some quarrels......"

"If the shopkeeper really sells it to King Ji, as long as the thing has been sold, there will be no such afterwords. The shopkeeper only said that the transaction was set and the deposit was received, which was nothing more than the presence of the owner before he could continue to talk. This is a business mouth, it is nothing more than wanting to ask for a few more money, and the second son is afraid that he will have to break the bank, but there will naturally be no quarrels. ”

The distance between the scholars is actually not too far, Fan Jin's voice is slightly higher, and the young man who bumped into Zhang Sixiu twice before heard it, and turned his head to look at Fan Jin, and Fan Jin was also looking at him. The two looked at each other, and Fan Jin found that this brother was actually more like a woman than Zhang Sixiu, his brother was beautiful and heroic, and this brother was more charming...... Damn pseudo-mother! Fan Jin reminded himself again.

After walking for a short time, the group has come to Chongren Bookstore, which is a very large place, and there are more than a dozen men on the front door of the five bays. On the bookshelf, there are not only small records of the current texts of the subset of the classics and histories, but also a lot of miscellaneous books and gossip. Ninety percent of Fan Jin's works can be found here, of which more than seventy percent are from Fujian and have nothing to do with Fan Jin's income, but fortunately, he has already seen it, otherwise he is afraid that he will faint on the spot.

The young man seemed to be deliberately provocative, asked for a chivalrous golden dart, flipped through the two articles at will, and raised it to Fan Jin, Fan Jin smiled helplessly, and the latter put the book down very proudly. At this moment, Song Chongli, the shopkeeper of the bookstore, had already come out to greet him, and he sang a promise to Zhang Sixiu from afar, and invited him and the scholar surnamed Gao into the study to talk, leaving only a big guy to entertain outside.

This business has nothing to do with outsiders, others are naturally not good at interfering, only wandering outside, Tang Xianzu flipped through two books and shook his head: "There are a lot of typos and omissions in these books, I'm afraid they are not genuine?" Brother Fan has been working hard for his pen, but it is really depressing for the profiteers, so he should write a submission and send it to the government to re-run these booksellers. ”

"There are too few printed by Guangdong Book Company, and if there are no such pirated prints, I am afraid that it will not be transmitted to Huguang. There are pros and cons to everything, and it is not easy to decide in one word. ”

When the young man of the Zhang family heard this, he looked at Fan Jin again, and seemed to be very interested in what he said, but somehow he refused to speak. He didn't speak, and Fan Jin didn't take the initiative to go over to talk, so he had to bow to him.

After a while, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and then someone shouted: "Old Song, you promised my baby, you should let me take it today, right?" My father celebrated his birthday, and I wanted to take these two treasures as a birthday gift, and I couldn't take them away a few times, so I had to come by myself. ”

As soon as he entered the house, he was dizzy and dizzy by a room of children pretending to be scholars, his eyes turned around, and finally fell on the son of the Zhang family who didn't like to talk, and pointed with a folding fan in his hand: "Eh? You are a scholar in my house, and you refuse to serve with your heart, but you stole my father's beloved dragon pattern inkstone and escaped, and you still dare to show your face in front of people? Come, bring this fugitive slave back to the palace! ”
