Since Shen Yun's so-called inside information, the Wenchang Inn has become more and more hot.

Who doesn't want to eat the New Deal thoroughly and then come up with their own strategy. When the time came, he was appreciated by those examiners and became a new science and technology scholar in one fell swoop, and he has been shining on the lintel ever since.

However, just when the big guy was thinking about it, suddenly an uninvited guest came.

The person who came was a scholar about the same age as Shen Yun. As soon as he came in, he chatted with everyone, and after getting up, he said very straightforwardly: "Brothers, down is Cen Shiwang, the son of Gyeongju. Now it is the depths of winter, and the cold plum is beginning to bloom, and the scholars of various states have held literary meetings to communicate with each other. ”

"We found a plum garden outside the city, and wanted to invite talents from the northwest to participate in the grand event. I don't know if you can take the time to come. ”

This is the first time that Shen Yun and others have seen Yingju scholars from other state capitals in addition to the scholars from Chuzhou. Especially in the Gyeongju dialect, it is quite kind, and this invitation is really not to be refused.

Shen Yun and Zhao Wenqing looked at each other and smiled, then looked at the scholars behind them, and saw that everyone was looking forward to it, so they naturally turned their heads and arched their hands towards Cen Shiwang: "Brother Cen invites me, I can't wait for it." I don't know when, where, and by whom? ”

Cen Shiwang originally thought that Zhao Wenqing was the leader here, but then he found out that it was this scholar who was slightly younger than himself in charge. Deng Shi gave his hand again: "But it is out of Puji Gate and then a mile to the east, and there is a place to fall into the Mei Courtyard." This meeting was initiated by Ying Qian's one-year brother of Fengxiang Mansion, and three days later, I waited for the big ride. ”

After answering all the questions asked by Shen Yun, Cen Shiwang gave up his hand again, and then walked out of the door.

And the scholars who waited for the invitation naturally had a burst of joy on their faces.

"After a whole month in the inn, it's finally time to put what you've learned to the test."

Wenhui naturally has to compete for the superior, as the so-called knife sharpens the brighter it is, and the more it discerns it, the clearer it is. No one knows how many catties and taels there are without comparing them with others. Moreover, the cultural meeting is also an alternative place to eat, drink and have fun, just to relax in a tense atmosphere.

Not to mention this kind of cultural meeting in a region, there will always be some particularly important news circulating between each other. At that time, the benefits to everyone will naturally be immeasurable.

"Even so, then you don't have to be too tight for the past two days. Although they are all scholars from the northwest, they must also compete for superiority when the time comes. The face of our Qinzhou still depends on you. ”

Shen Yun didn't say anything arrogant.

It seems that the literary meeting initiated by Fengxiang Mansion is basically compared with harmony, and it will not be like an enemy at every turn. Moreover, in the northwest, everyone's skills are similar, there are chief officials who attach importance to education, and the literary style is naturally more prosperous, but the conditions in the northwest are difficult, and there will not be many Confucians who deliberately come to give lectures, even if they are high, they are not much higher.

The scholars laughed for a while, and then they dispersed.

The tenth day of the lunar month.

It's rare that there hasn't been snow for three days in a row, especially today, when the warm sun shines so that people who often nest in the house can't help but come out and smell the sun.

Walking in the snow to find plum blossoms is a quick thing, not to mention the literary meeting that is particularly respected by scholars. Mo said that Shen Yun, who participated in the cultural meeting, was that many people in the city also came out of the door to follow the voice.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the literary style is at its peak.

Even if ordinary people are illiterate, they can distinguish some good from bad. What's more, the words written by the scholars will eventually be circulated in the hook column, so that those sisters will compose songs and sing them to thousands of people.

It's a pleasure to listen to it.

As the name suggests, there are many plum blossoms planted in the courtyard. Speaking of which, most of the high-ranking officials in the city have a preference for elegance and even vassal elegance, and because the price of land in the city is too high, most of them choose to buy land outside the city to build manors.

Luomei Courtyard is naturally one of them, when Shen Yun and others inquired clearly, this place was originally built by a merchant from Fengxiang Mansion, and later given as a gift to a court official from Fengxiang Mansion.

It was precisely because of this way that Ying Qianyi borrowed it, and even the servants in the other courtyard were sent by him.

I have to say, this is an absolute big deal.

When more than 50 people came over, there were just a few people standing in front of Zhuang, and when they saw Shi Shiran coming over, they asked: "I don't know which state it is, Brother Ying, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Listening to this introduction, you will know that this person is Ying Qianyi, the initiator of the Literary Society.

Shen Yun and the others lived in the outer city, and when they came, they took a carriage, so they were naturally the first to come. Ying Qianyi was also a servant who hurried over after passing the message.

Walking closer, Shen Yun took a cadre of scholars from Qinzhou to bow: "Qinzhou should raise scholars, and all fifty-one people will meet Brother Yingnian." I can't wait for my brother's invitation, and I hurried over, hoping that I didn't let Brother Ying wait for a long time. ”

"Haha, it turned out to be all the benevolent brothers in Qinzhou, it's not too late, it's not too late, to be honest, you were the first to come, and in this heart, a big stone finally fell. Previously, I was worried that Ying Mou's reputation would not be obvious, and the brothers would not give thin noodles. ”

"Brother Ying laughed, and at the same time, the Northwest Scholar, how could he not come to such a grand event."

"Okay, good, please come in, it's cold, let's talk inside." The harsh climate makes the Northwest scholars generally have a strong body, although a little cold wind may not catch a cold, but who likes to stay outside deliberately to be cold?

was let into the courtyard by Ying Qian, and Shen Yun realized that the scale of this manor was huge.

Perhaps because of the regulations, not many houses were built. But under the guise of a farm, there are hundreds of plum trees in it, to say the least. And Shen Yun, who brought in living water and built pavilions by water, saw several when he walked in the door.

You must know that the land in Shen Yun's family is only a few dozen acres, which is still good and bad. It is estimated that there is so much land on this estate to plant trees.

It's really extravagant, Shen Yun said secretly in his heart.

Qinfeng Road is a prefecture and twelve states, and all the scholars add up to five or six hundred. Of course, not everyone gave Ying Qian face, so the reserved banquet venue could accommodate only more than 300 people.

This is a three-story high-rise building, and at this time, the sunny side has all opened its windows, and it feels warm when you walk in. For the time being, Shen Yun and others were placed on the first floor to eat a little bit, and Ying Qian apologized:

"Brothers, sit down first. Everyone from Gyeongju is also coming, so they will retire first when they need to meet them at the door. ”

I have to say that this set of etiquette sat down, and Ying Qianyi really gave a very good impression. Many scholars on Shen Yun's side have already begun to discuss: "This young brother was not famous before, and he didn't want to not only be transparent, but also so comfortable in etiquette." ”

"I think it's probably a student of that Confucian family. It used to be hard work, but now it's been released. ”

Perhaps, there is only one explanation for why he has only come to the fore now.

Everyone drank tea and warmed their bodies, and after a while, Ying Qianyi came with a cadre of Gyeongju scholars.

The leader is actually Nazen Shiwang.

This result really surprised Shen Yun and the others, they didn't expect such a person to be willing to run errands for Ying Qian.

"Brothers, let's meet again." After walking in, without Ying Qian's introduction, Cen Shiwang gave his hand to Shen Yun and the others. Obviously, this is a very faux pas.

However, Ying Qian's face did not show the slightest displeasure, but nodded happily: "I forgot, all of you in Qinzhou were invited by Brother Cen." ”

He also sat down with these people, and then continued: "Seeing that no one has come again for the time being, you might as well introduce one or two first." Ying has been in Beijing for a long time, but he has no chance to meet your brothers. ”

At this time, it was already Cen Shi looking out.

"In this matter, Cen has to go beyond the bounds." After receiving Ying Qianyi's signal, he continued: "Cen is also a bag to inquire. A self-deprecation caused everyone present to laugh.

"Brother Cen, you said that your brother is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and you have privately inquired about our tribute scholars in the state capital. It's not something to be ashamed of. ”

The list of candidates is not confidential, and it is not illegal to inquire privately. Having such a way is naturally a very boastful thing. Gyeongju Shizi said it, but it shocked everyone's hearts.

Cen Shiwang smiled, did not show a smug look, but very humbly arched his hand towards Shen Yun's side: "I don't know which one is Brother Shen Yunnian?" ”

"That person is Shen Yun everywhere in the light?" In recent years, it has often happened that people who are not popular are popular, and these scholars have been climbing and befriending each other, starting from their own works.

Shen Yun stood up humbly, and bowed his hand to Cen Shiwang and Ying Qianyi and others: "No, it's Shen." ”

"Wow, I don't want to be so young."

"I thought he was a handsome boy, but I didn't want to look ordinary." I have to say that this is still an era of looking at faces. When the palace exam, the article is of average level, and the good looks are definitely a few places higher than the long difference.

Cen Shiwang and Ying Qian also returned the salute, and then praised: "I don't want Brother Shen to be so young." Hahaha, it seems that the one sitting next to Brother Shen is Brother Zhao Wenqing, one of the three talents of Qinzhou Prefecture. ”

Cen Shiwang is a psychic man.

The three talents of Qinzhou State School are also somewhat famous in the northwest, and Zhao Wenqing is the first in the state subject examination this time, so you can come up with a little guess.

Just as he was wondering why he didn't say that he was Han Yang, Ying Qianyi suddenly explained: "I have also seen Han Yang's house, and I don't want to really go to live at his teacher's house." ”

Shaking his head, he said to Zhao Wenqing: "Brother Zhao's reputation, I have also heard of it, but the article you wrote during the Qinzhou Literary Conference that day also spread to Fengxiang Mansion. Brother Zhao is talented and learned, and he is really admirable. ”

Ying Qianyi said whether it was polite or not, but Zhao Wenqing was still happy in his heart. After humbling each other, Cen Shiwang began to introduce other scholars.

With just such a little effort, everyone was conquered by Cen Shiwang's ability. Being able to guess the names of ordinary people through some things on paper, through the sorting of Shen Yun and others, is really amazing.
