Yueyun Restaurant is located in the most prosperous place on West Chang'an Street, and the fame of the capital has not risen much over the years, and it is not as popular as the smoke building that attracted literati from all over the Ming Dynasty.

Just a little bit of the world will know that the smoke building is just a flash in the pan, and the Yue Yun restaurant is enduring, although there are few poetry meetings held over the years, but it is not comparable to the smoke building.

Wanjia has dozens of restaurants in the capital, and there are six or seven large-scale restaurants, among which there are many places where literati gather, but when it comes to strength, it is still the best Yueyun Restaurant.

I don't know what year and month the restaurant was built, in short, after the first emperor moved to Xiyuan, Yueyun Restaurant gradually changed its mold, and it was rare for scholars to fight poems and give words to point to the country, but it was a lot more idlers drinking and drinking tea and talking about home.

Until now, there are many ordinary scholars and literati in the restaurant, but more of them are dignitaries, and even the emperor's relatives are not new.

This situation lasted until the beginning of last year, after which it was disrupted by four young people in the capital. The poems, articles, and songs in Yueyun Restaurant have set off a frenzy one after another.

This is known as the four sons of Jingming are all born in the official eunuchs, among which there are many members of the imperial court and the family of the six Shangshu, the slightest movement, it was touted by those who have a heart, and over time, there is really such a thing.

If Yang Xian is like this, the poems and songs he does really want to make new words and strong feelings, but it has also attracted a group of young men and women in the capital, which really makes the more experienced literati very unconvinced.

So that even though these four sons were born in famous families, they were still criticized by many literati and doctors, but they attracted the protection of many young boys and girls of the younger generation, and most of these defenders were the children of these literati and doctors, but they caused all kinds of contradictions.

All in all, these four young people have caused a lot of sensation in the capital.

It was not until it was rumored in Beijing that Wan Cong, the eldest young master of the Wan family, was going to return to Beijing, and there was a big change. Overnight, it was sought after by more literati.

So much so that before Wan Cong returned to Beijing, there were all kinds of poems and articles praising this Wan Gongzi, although they were all chaotic, but it also showed that Wan Cong was indeed a cut above Yang Xian and others.

After Wan Cong returned to Beijing, a poetry meeting in Yueyun Restaurant on the occasion of the Qingming Festival, he single-handedly made the literati from all over the capital and even from the Ming Dynasty surrender, and even praised him as the first genius in the capital.

The first genius in the capital has been since Song Yanzhi, Song Qian and Shen Wuyan. It never appeared again, and after that, there were many young talents in the literary scene in Beijing. But there is really no one who dares to call it the first.

What's more, Shen Wuyan later appeared in Suzhou, and gradually became loved by literati in the Ming Dynasty, and no one dared to say that he could replace Shen Wuyan and become the first talent in the capital.

Now this state of affairs has broken Wan Cong in one fell swoop, and his outstanding talent and knowledge have made the literati in the capital fall in love, whether it is the younger generation or the older generation, they are all amazed.

What's more, he also wrote Wan Cong's articles on precious silk. Carry it with you and always recite a sentence in your mouth.

It's just that all this is far from enough for Wan Cong, looking at the vast sky, he sighed lightly and muttered: "Shen Wuyan's position is really difficult to shake...... Liaodong let him dodge, this time it won't be easy. ”

After talking to himself. He glanced back at the place where Yang Xian left, and at this time there was no one left, but Wan Cong still smiled and said, "Shen Wuyan cheats...... If this thing is shaken out, and see what the literati who pursue him think. ”

……

In a certain alley not too far from Yue Yun Restaurant, there was peace in that small courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard there are some fruits and cold drinks. There were two people, a man and a woman, and in front of them lay a young girl munching on a chilled watermelon.

The courtyard was filled with laughter, and from time to time the girl would get up and do something to the man. Although the man said that he looked elegant, he looked like an old-fashioned gentleman, but he was quite happy that the other party was so rude.

As for the woman, she was also smiling, and from time to time she would tell some jokes. It's really enviable.

Compared with the hundreds of thousands of families in the capital, this is probably the most peaceful place. The wife does not need to pay attention to so many rules, but the so-called three outlines and five constants have also been thrown off by the husband.

Although he still has a little bit in his bones, he is often mentioned as a joke by his husband, but now it is not so strong.

And the child has no strict father and mother, but has a little more freedom. I often heard all kinds of strange stories from my father, and I would never understand why there was such a strange name as Paul Kochakin.

After a while, the girl was probably tired of playing, so she fell asleep in the man's arms. After the man sent the girl back to the room, he came out and sat back in the chair.

Looking at the silent night sky, the man couldn't help but sigh in his heart, recalling the words he heard before passing by Yue Yun Restaurant in the evening, and his heart occasionally moved.

The first time I heard of the name of the so-called first genius was when I met Song Yanzhi when I was in Zhou Yuan, and I didn't have a good impression of the slightly sick scholar at that time, mostly because of his junior brother Song Qian.

After that, Song Yanzhi died on the way, and after Song Qian returned to the capital, he became the first genius in the capital.

Song Yanzhi both worshiped under the disciple of Li Chunfang, a scholar of the dynasty, this old man who wrote a beautiful poem and also made great achievements in the literary world, so it is not unusual for his disciples to have such achievements.

It was only later that it was rumored that Song Qian killed his senior brother and stole the poems, until Shen Wuyan smoked the building overnight, Song Qian fled in a hurry, and the so-called name of the first genius in the capital ended like this.

Although Song Qian later returned to Beijing, Yan Shifan also defended him in many ways, making his reputation not as unbearable as it was back then, but the name of a talented man is no longer there.

And because of this unearned fame, from beginning to end, it gave birth to all kinds of troubles, and many of them died because of it. Shen Wuyan was extremely clear about the life of Song Qian when he returned to the capital, and it was really embarrassing to think about it like this.

As soon as Song Qian died, he left his wife and children and went to Liaodong, but he lived a very pitiful life. The so-called name of Song Qian is rarely mentioned among literati.

On a cool early summer night, the woman stretched her waist slightly, looked at the silent Shen Wuyan, and couldn't help but be curious: "Xianggong...... What's wrong with you......"

Shen Wuyan, who was staring at the night sky, suddenly heard this call, and hurriedly looked back, and saw Li Wan'er's expression full of concern, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I thought of an old man...... By the way, let's go to see Wen Chang on the Duanyang Festival, and send a few bottles of jade dew by the way, mosquitoes are really rampant these days, and the cell must be more prosperous......"

Li Wan'er nodded slightly and sighed: "I heard that Yueyun Restaurant held a poetry meeting during the Qingming Festival...... There are many rumors in the market that the great prince of Wan has replaced Xianggong as the first genius in the capital. ”

The words were a little heavier on the number one talent in the capital, and then his eyes wandered away from Shen Wuyan, waiting for the other party to answer.

Shen Wuyan was stunned, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to this...... In the past few days, I have been disturbed by the affairs of the Heavenly Monarch......"

Li Wan'er looked at Shen Wuyan's slightly throbbing body, she could probably guess something, sighed, and said, "Xianggong met Miss Liu in Liaodong...... How are her mother and son doing? ”

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but sigh lightly, nodded, and said, "It was really bad at first...... Later, Miss Liu met a good person...... That person is now a thousand households in Liaodong, and he will probably be able to live a stable life in the future. ”

Li Wan'er pursed her lips and said with a smile: "It's all in the past...... Xianggong didn't think that Wan Da Gong wanted to rob you of the name of the first talent, and he was unhappy? ”

Shen Wuyan heard Li Wan'er's joking words, but he also laughed and said, "Of course...... When he became the first talent, there were all kinds of female fans, how could he let him snatch it? ”

Li Wan'er was stunned, although she didn't understand some of the words, she could still guess some of them, and immediately put away her smile and said unhappily: "How can Cheng want to be such a superficial person......

Shen Wuyan hurriedly held Li Wan'er's little hand and said with a smile: "When will Wan'er be jealous......

Li Wan'er hurriedly broke away from Shen Wuyan's hand and snorted softly: "Xianggong is teasing the concubine's body......"

Shen Wuyan couldn't help but say continuously: "Wan'er is the best...... Let's go find a painter and draw a family portrait for a family of three......"

The summer night in the small courtyard is like this almost every day, and there is often a burst of laughter and laughter, until everyone is sleepy, and then they pull the door and push the door into the room.

And mosquito bites in spring are not a problem, and the jade dew can resist mosquitoes. It also makes everyone envious, after all, the price of this object is extremely expensive, and since the accident in the capital back then, it has not been able to buy it in the capital.

Late at night.

Listening to the sound of sleeping beside him, a happy smile flashed at the corner of Shen Wuyan's mouth, and then he raised his hand and pinched the little face of Li Wan'er, who was sleeping with him, and then broke free and slowly walked out of the small courtyard.

The yard is not big, but it is enough for a family of three. As soon as the servants leave, they leave at night, and when they return in the morning, they do not occupy the room.

After Shen Wuyan stood in the courtyard for a while, he headed towards the study.

It took advantage of the moonlight to light the oil lamp, and then took out a letter from his sleeve.

The letter was written by a man of great care.

"Handwritten ...... by the Honorable Minister"

Jingchen is Wang Shaoqing, this letter was sent to the yamen in the early morning, Shen Wuyan took it away, although he hadn't seen it yet, he could guess the contents.

When he came to the capital, Wang Shaoqing's health was not very good, but he always remembered Xu Wenchang in his heart, and he thought that it was related to this.

"It's good to be speechless in Beijing...... Recently, I feel unwell and am afraid of being sad this winter...... but I hope to be able to ......" (to be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
