Chapter 025: Poetry Club Appearance Fee
Although Xu Xian drove people away, Fahai didn't leave.
Buddhism has three thousand wonderful words, three inches of golden tongue, can speak the sky, the ground is surging golden lotus, Xu Xian is so young, Fahai is confident that he can "surrender" Xu Xian to convert to Buddhism, adding a potential disciple to Buddhism.
When he was about to open his mouth to bewitch Xu Xian, Tang Wanrong, who had just finished putting incense, had already arrived.
"Xu Xian, what are you talking about?" Tang Wanrong shouted before he could get closer.
After she walked in front of Xu Xian, she glanced at Fahai, and politely greeted Fahai with her palms together, "Master, hello." ”
"Amitabha." Fahai's gaze swept over Tang Wanrong, and he immediately discovered the secret of Tang Wanrong's daughter.
At this time, Xu Xian replied to Tang Wanrong: "This old monk wants to persuade me to become a monk." ”
"Monkhood?" Tang Wanrong's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, and her pretty face suddenly swelled with anger, and she scolded Fahai, "Good you stinky monk, you persuade people to become monks for no reason!" Is it that you have collected too much sesame oil money and think that you are very remarkable? Without us ordinary people to support, it would be difficult for you to even live, and without us ordinary people giving birth to men and girls, you monks and temples would not even have people! Xu Xian is the only seedling of the Xu family, you persuade Xu Xian to become a monk and cut off the back roots of the Xu family, how insidious and vicious! ”
She just asked for marriage with Xu Xian in front of the big Buddha in Jinshan Temple, in order to show her piety, she also specially donated ten taels of silver sesame oil money, and now she turned around and suddenly found that the monk of Jinshan Temple actually persuaded Xu Xian to become a monk, she suddenly couldn't suppress her resentment, all the cultivation etiquette was lost, and she was almost a shrew scolding the street.
Fahai was suddenly scolded, knowing that it was impossible to convince Xu Xian today, so he had to recite a Buddha name, and then left in a gloomy manner.
After Fahai left, Tang Wanrong asked Xu Xian with some concern: "Xu Xian, you won't be deceived by that bad monk and want to become a monk, right?" ”
"How so?" Xu Xian shook his head and smiled, "I'm a Confucian disciple, how dare I live up to the teacher's expectations of me." ”
Tang Wanrong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”
After a pause, she said again: "Let's go down the mountain, and we will never go to any Jinshan Temple in the future." ”
Xu Xian nodded and went down the mountain side by side with Tang Wanrong.
Leaving Jinshan Temple, the time is still early, and it is still too late to return to Muyang Academy at this time.
However, Tang Wanrong didn't want to go back to Muyang Academy, and wanted to go to Qiantang County to play.
Xu Xian agreed, and it happened that he also went back to his brother-in-law's house.
The two took a carriage into the county seat together, and when they entered the city gate, Xu Xian invited: "Tang Rong, why don't you come to my house as a guest?" ”
"Visiting your house?" When Tang Wanrong heard this, there was a tangle between her eyebrows, and she hesitated for a while before she shook her head and said, "I, I'm not ready yet...... Well, I mean, I didn't have a gift ready and I didn't have the shame to come to visit. A little longer, okay? ”
As she said the last sentence, she spoke almost in a pleading tone.
Xu Xian nodded, not forcing Tang Wanrong.
"If you want to go home, you can go home, I'll be fine playing alone." Tang Wanrong said again.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I have to go home, I will mainly play with you." Let's find an inn to stay in first. ”
When Tang Wanrong heard Xu Xian say this, she was relieved and nodded: "Hmm." ”
Then, Xu Xian pulled the curtain, leaned forward halfway, and said to the coachman in front: "Yuelai Inn." ”
Yuelai Inn is a relatively high-end inn in Qiantang County, which is relatively safe.
Xu Xian put down the curtain and sat down, Tang Wanrong deliberately approached Xu Xian for two points, and said with a smile: "Xu Xian, thank you." ”
"I said that we would play together for two days, and I naturally wanted to do it." Xu Xian smiled, feeling the softness coming from half of Tang Wanrong's body.
Arriving at the Yuelai Inn, Xu Xian and Tang Wanrong went in and opened two upper rooms that were connected together.
Although Yuelai Inn is relatively safe, Xu Xian is still worried that Tang Wanrong's girl's house is not safe, so he decided to spend the night in the inn.
After settling down at the inn, Xu Xian saw that Tang Wanrong had a tired look on his face, so he said, "You have a good rest for a while." As for me, I'll go home first, and then I'll come over with you. ”
Tang Wanrong nodded and agreed.
So, Xu Xian left the Yuelai Inn and walked towards his brother-in-law's house.
He walked back to his brother-in-law's house, and it happened that Li Gongfu was also at home, and there was a guest.
"Hanwen, you're back just in time!" When Li Gongfu saw Xu Xian, he immediately happily pulled Xu Xian over.
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you." Li Gongfu then introduced the guests to Xu Xian and said, "This is Mr. Ji Gao, the chief steward of the Ji family's cloth shop. ”
"I've seen Steward Ji." Xu Xian immediately gave up.
The silk cloth industry in the south of the Yangtze River is very developed, and the chamber of commerce of the cloth shop is all rich, and the Ji's cloth shop is the largest cloth shop chamber of commerce in Qiantang County.
Ji Gao is in his forties, shrewd and capable, and he also politely replied: "It's easy to say, Xu Gongzi, I took the liberty to visit today to find you." ”
"Looking for me?" Xu Xian was slightly surprised.
Ji Gao nodded affirmatively: "Not bad." In another month and a half, it will be the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, and we will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, called Zhilan Poetry Club. We have invested a lot of 10,000 taels and sincerely invite all talents to participate. ”
"Gongzi Xu is talented, and he is a disciple of Zhang Gong, and he is the first candidate of our Zhilan Poetry Club."
"If Gongzi Xu participates in the face, we will be grateful to Ji's cloth company."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels and sent it to Xu Xian: "This is sincerity gold, wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Xu Gongzi arrives, thank you again for two hundred taels." ”
"In addition, we will also have another reward according to the number of poems you wrote at the poetry meeting, if you make the first poem of Qiantang County on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver!"
Li Gongfu and Li Xu listened beside them, and their breathing was short.
Qiantang County is rich and developed economically, and there will be many celebrations during the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to the Oiran selection competition, there are also many poetry clubs.
Poetry gatherings are often held by well-known local scholars, wealthy businessmen and various chambers of commerce.
Most of the purpose of holding poetry clubs is to accumulate good fame and fame, advertise, and so on.
Merchants and chambers of commerce have a relatively low status, but they have money, so they often do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to take the opportunity of the Mid-Autumn Festival to hold poetry or literary meetings to win over and make friends with readers.
In the Mid-Autumn Festival in Qiantang County, there are generally more than 20 large and small poetry meetings, several of which have been held for many years and have accumulated great fame. These well-known poetry clubs are flocked to by scholars and talents, because they can become famous overnight.
As for the poetry clubs that are not famous, there are few scholars and talents, and they need to spend money to invite some scholars and talents to participate in the popularity and scenes.
The Zhilan Poetry Club was only held this year, and it was a good start, so it did not hesitate to spend 10,000 taels.
Xu Xian's poetry has spread in Qiantang County, and he is a disciple of Zhang Jingming, so his value is not low, and Zhilan poetry will directly quote three hundred taels of appearance fees.
