Chapter 858: Zhengyang Teahouse
The literary meeting of the Western character school is scheduled to be held in the Zhengyang teahouse, which is relatively large in the west of the capital.
When the lights are on, all parts of the capital are already brightly lit, in the political palace of the Great Yong Dynasty, the streets and alleys of the capital are full of people, with the arrival of early summer, the evening market in the capital will also last until very late, and some small teahouses and restaurants on the street have become the best places for the people to gather and have fun.
There will also be some drama troupes in the city, or places for storytelling and storytelling, which cannot be regarded as a niche, but they can never be compared with the interpretation team of the future flyover, because there is a lack of good dramas and scripts in this era, and the people are not very enthusiastic about this art form that is on the rise.
But in Ji Ning's view, many industries will always rise, and heroes cannot be judged by temporary success or failure, and the same is true in the art industry.
Because it is far from the Confucian Temple in the city to the Zhengyang Teahouse in the west of the city, Ji Ning also has to take a carriage, Ji Ning did not ride in the same carriage with Song Shanqian, but asked Li 6 to rush over, and he sat in the car.
The weather was relatively hot, he opened the curtain of the car, so that he could also enjoy the scenery outside, Li 6 also said there: "Master, this day is gradually getting hotter, you are not suitable to come out during the day in the future!" β
Ji Ning asked: "The summer night in the capital has always been so lively?" β
"Hey, hey!" Li 6 smiled and said, "The master has not lived in the capital for a long time, and it is not yet the most lively time, in the middle of summer, several main streets and alleys in the capital, I am afraid that there is no place to put your feet, at that time, there will be a southern opera troupe into the capital, and many people are waiting to see the southern opera ......."
Ji Ning also understood before, on the performance of opera, the southern opera exhibition is relatively fast, but because of the cold weather in the north, even if the people of the capital are rich, but it is only suitable for performing some operas in the summer, when the weather is cold, no one wants to come out to be frozen, even if it is a slack time, the people will still shrink at home, wives and children hot kang, at most find a few people to go back to gamble, push pai gow or play fish, shrimp and crab and other usual entertainment projects.
As for summer, it is a good time to come out and watch the southern opera.
Ji Ning nodded, and didn't say much, but he felt that the people of the capital, the usual cultural and entertainment life is actually not bad, an era has an era background, even in the era of the Internet in later generations, people will still pursue the spiritual entertainment life in opera and literature, the reason is almost the same, but there are fewer options in this era, but due to limitations, people will not have greater expectations for this kind of thing.
Any era, for future generations, will have certain limitations.

Finally arrived at the Zhengyang Teahouse, Song Shanqian's carriage was in front, he just got off the carriage, and was surrounded by a group of people, he was a trainee bachelor, in the capital, trainee bachelors are as rare as Hanlin.
It is not that you can be a trainee bachelor if you want to be a trainee bachelor, you must go through the assessment, and there is no age and previous restrictions on the assessment of the trainee bachelor, so that there are very few young trainee bachelors, and generally young trainee bachelors are more expensive than Hanlin, and most of the young trainee bachelors may become the backbone of the Confucian Temple in the future and be respected by scholars.
"Master Song is here, it's really brilliant!" A middle-aged man in his fifties greeted him, this person was very fat, and he smiled with a stock market interest, Ji Ning walked over, the person was still courteous to Song Shanqian, "Bachelor Song, please upstairs, there are more than fifty students from the Xizi School, and they are already waiting for your teaching......"
Song Shanqian was also in good spirits at this time, and said with a smile: "I don't dare to be, I'm just here to discuss knowledge!" β
He belongs to the lowest level of the apprenticeship in the Temple of Literature, but after all, the Temple of Literature is the most desirable institution for scholars in the world, and Song Shan's move into the Temple of Literature is actually to have a status in the society in the future.
The fat man of the philistine smiled and said, "Master Song is very knowledgeable, but the students are waiting to listen to your high opinions, and they don't know you...... Did you bring your colleagues here? β
Song Shanqian was still proud, as if the world was respecting him, but when he heard this, he remembered that there was a Ji Ning next to him, and hurriedly introduced: "Let me introduce you to you, this is the champion of this year's palace examination, and he is also the first person in the Dayong Dynasty in recent decades, and he also chose to enter the Temple of Literature and become a bachelor of the Temple of Literature." Yongning, these are people from the Western character school in front of you, come here and take a look ......"
Ji Ning walked over, and the fat man came over and took Ji Ning's hand, and said happily: "It turned out to be a bachelor Ji, who has admired his name for a long time, and he really has no regrets in this life when he sees it today!" β
This is too polite, Ji Ning himself is a little embarrassed, after all, he doesn't deal with this kind of scene much, what he used to deal with was actually the kind of occasion in private, this kind of meeting in public, or a bunch of strangers, waiting to listen to his "teaching", he really didn't get used to it.
But no matter what Ji Ning said, he took the "appearance fee", even if he dealt with the scene, he would try to do better.
Ji Ning stepped forward and saluted: "In Xia Ji Ning, I have seen you!" β
Seeing that the apprentice bachelors were all saluting, the students behind them also saluted, because they all knew that Ji Ning's social status was very high, even if it was the Western character school, there were not a few Jinshi, let alone any scholars from the Temple of Literature, or Hanlin.
The school is only a supplement to the group of scholars in the society, most of the scholars still go to study in a separate name, and finally pass the Jinshi, and many of the people who hang the name of the school are for the sake of faΓ§ade, but it is very popular among those nobles, as for what future these schools can have, it is really not many people have verified in detail.
Ji Ning and Song Shanqian entered the Zhengyang Teahouse surrounded by everyone, and after entering it, there were more people who came out to salute, and the fat man before was responsible for the introduction.
The first introduction to Ji Ning is all raised in the internal examination of the Western character school, or the sons of some big families, the sons of the world, etc., in the middle stage, they are selected for the show, or the third son, the fourth son and the like in some small families, and finally the ordinary people in the Western character school, these people don't need to go through the names with Ji Ning, and finally just give a general introduction: "These are the students of the Western character school......
After a stroke, Ji Ning slightly bowed his hand as if he knew it.
Immediately, a group of people went to the second floor of the Zhengyang Tea House, which was also the place where the cultural meeting was held.
