The Qinbei Poetry Society, which can be said to be the ancient celebrity club, mainly provides a place for the ancient learned people to communicate, and in the eyes of the people, the people who come out of the Qinbei Poetry Society are all tall and tall. In order to maintain the image of the Qinbei Poetry Society in the eyes of the people, the expenses of each activity are not a few, and it is also for the image of the Qinbei Poetry Society.

Why is that? The fundamental reason is to make the poetry appear holy and sacred.

This tradition has lasted for a long time, so the Qinbei Poetry Society has the highest fame and prestige among all the non-governmental organizations in the Tang Dynasty. But the Qinbei Poetry Society is beautiful on the surface, but behind the scenes, it has paid a great price.

Any organization needs money, and the economic source of the poetry society, which is blocked by the people, is mainly funded by large households. It is not a new thing for wealthy businessmen to fund non-governmental organizations to engage in activities, and Yaxing, which can be contaminated with talented people without seeking fame, is at ease. Therefore, as long as it is a good reputation and an event with solid content, it is not difficult to pull down sponsorship.

Famous activities like large-scale poetry clubs are even more popular, and it is easy to find sponsorship for the activities of the Qinbei Poetry Society, but the Qinbei Poetry Society does not allow any criticism, such as mentioning the name of the sponsor, such as implanting some small advertisements, and even the sponsor does not have the right to participate in the event.

The harsh conditions have created the fame of the Qinbei Poetry Society, and also achieved the reputation of Nangong Hanjiang, but it has also made the Qinbei Poetry Society a plague god in the hearts of many people. Silver has always been a big problem for the Qinbei Poetry Society, and the more time passes, the more people will be ashamed of the Qinbei Poetry Society. Who wants to invest a lot of money and get nothing?

In the area of Chang'an, so that the big households north of the Qinling Mountains are unwilling to support the Qinbei Poetry Society, and over time, the finances of the Qinbei Poetry Society are not as good as ever.

In order to cope with the garden poetry meeting after the beginning of spring, Nangong Hanjiang had to tear off his face and agree to Mei Wan'er's request and cooperate with her to act in this scene, on the condition that Mei Wan'er was fully responsible for the expenses of the garden poetry meeting.

Nangong Hanjiang told Xia Shang everything, without any concealment, and did not ask Xia Shang not to spread the word.

"Young Master Xia, I haven't thought about keeping anything since I came here today, if you want to spread this matter, please spread it, my Nangong Hanjiang will definitely not quibble."

"Miss Nangong, you are so smart, you will not do anything that damages the reputation of yourself and the poetry club. This bitter ploy is extremely bad for you, and it may have a huge impact on the poem. But if you really spread the word, will it really bring you into disrepute? ”

Nangong Hanjiang's brows furrowed even tighter: "Otherwise, what?" ”

"Nangong girl, don't pretend to be in front of me. You were the coerced party throughout the whole thing, and if the world knew that you had to compromise in order to maintain the development of the poetry society, what would the people think of you? Most of them will call you a heroine who is willing to gamble on her own reputation for the overall situation, right? By the way, it can also let the world know about the situation of the Qinbei Poetry Society, and there may be many sympathetic fools who will generously donate to the Qinbei Poetry Society to solve the urgent needs of the Qinbei Poetry Society. Nangong girl's hand can not only earn fame but also silver, this abacus is a good game! ”

“……”

"If what you said is true, then you didn't intend to accept Mei Wan'er's money from the beginning. Pointing to the deer as a horse on the day is the first step, today is the second step, acting like a weak person to induce me to tell the facts of the day, and then the third step is to spread the progress and details of the matter to win the sympathy of the world. In the end, everyone's hatred will turn to Mei Wan'er, and you will become the object of people's sympathy. Miss Nangong, am I right? ”

"You...... Don't speculate. ”

"If the girl honestly begged me not to expose the matter from the beginning, I can't tell if I would have thought of this relationship, but the girl actually took the initiative to remind me to expose the matter, and said that she wouldn't quibble? I don't believe that Miss May will give up her reputation and that of the Poetry Society. ”

"If I had known that Xia Gongzi was such a smart person, I would not have agreed to such a ridiculous plan of the Mei family. Hey, it's too late. Xia Gongzi said so much, he must have a plan, why don't you listen to it? ”

Finally got to the point, Xia Shang straightened his face: "Ahem, since everyone understands people, let's not beat around the bush." How much silver does the girl say about the garden poem? Why don't the small shop help you out? ”

Nangong Hanjiang didn't show excitement, looked at Xia Shang, waiting for him to say the conditions.

"The conditions are very simple, the words delicious and Taoist must appear in the poetry meeting, and at the time of the poetry meeting, poetry is indispensable, right? It is best to use delicious and authentic dishes as the theme, and let the participating literati and scholars compose one or two poems. ”

"Impossible!" Nangong Hanjiang refused, "At most, I will inform everyone during the poetry meeting that this poetry meeting is funded by delicious and Youdao, and there can be no words that have nothing to do with the poetry meeting in the venue, let alone the theme of the food!" The matter was not negotiable. ”

"Miss Nangong, are you still thinking about a fair deal with me at this time? I didn't say anything when you hurt me like this before, didn't Nangong girl feel a little guilty? ”

"The previous thing was my fault, but it can't be mixed up, other things can be discussed, and it can't be related to the poetry club."

"If the girl doesn't talk about this at all, she will have nothing to say in the future. Let's see who else in this Chang'an dares to cooperate with your Qinbei Poetry Society? And it is a fact that you hurt me, and there is always a way for the world to see the hypocrisy of the girl. ”

Nangong Hanjiang's face sank: "Are you threatening me?" ”

"That's right."

"You!"

"Forget how the girl threatened me yesterday? each other. ”

“……”

I believe you know better than anyone else the situation of the Qinbei Poetry Society, and only by cooperating with me can the status of the Poetry Society be maintained. ”

"If I agree to your request, the reputation of the Qinbei Poetry Society will be damaged, how can we maintain our status?"

"The Qinbei Poetry Society is a pathological development, and if it continues according to the previous model, it will be finished sooner or later. Nangong girl may have studied strategy, but she knows very little about the way of business. It is important to know that the poetry club is also to be operated, even if you don't admit it, its existence is always a business, and if it is a business, there must be a transaction. If Miss Nangong cooperates with me for a long time, she is very willing to help the poetry club change the status quo, and she doesn't seek to develop well, at least she won't worry about silver in the future. ”

Nangong Hanjiang is the person who knows the Northern Qinbei Poetry Society best, and what Xia Shang said will end sooner or later She has already realized it, but she just thinks that it will not be as serious as Xia Shang said. But the reality is in front of her, and the change of the Qinbei Poetry Society is imminent, but she doesn't understand it.

After thinking about it, Nangong Hanjiang agreed.
