Fan Wenruo of the Fushui Mountain House Club saw Yang Shixiang and Jin Bozong beside Zhang Yuan, and laughed: "Brother Yang really took the lead, Fan is late." "Make a gesture to Zhang Yuan's three-person group.

Zhang Yuan will Fan Wenruo, Jin Langzhi welcome to the main hall to sit down, Wuling served tea, Fan Wenruo looked at the courtyard and main hall of Zhang Yuan's house, look at this pattern, three generations have not been out of the show, Fan Wenruo has learned that Shanyin Zhang's family has East Zhang and West Zhang, West Zhang is an official family, the champion also refers to West Zhang, but Zhang Yuan, who was born in East Zhang, is the head of the government examination case, which is equivalent to having a student fame, if you can be lifted again, it will only take one or two years to be very different, servants like clouds, the era of imperial examinations, It is not uncommon for people to be happy and erect - after greeting a few words, Yang Shixiang said with a smile: "Brother Fan is from Suzhou, and he is a distant guest, and Brother Bozong originally planned to leave Shanyin and return to Qingpu today, but since Brother Fan and Brother Lang have arrived, it is rare to get together, so I will go back two days later." ”

Fan Wenruo was surprised: "When will Brother Yang arrive, and Zhang Gongzi will choose a collection of essays for your Qingpu Society?" ”

Yang Shixiang said with a smile: "The next two arrived on the twenty-ninth of last month, and Brother Jie Zi only took six days to read five hundred articles of making arts, and carefully reviewed one hundred and sixty of them, and his agility is so fast. ”

Fan Wenruo said, "Can you take it for me to read?" ”

Yang Shixiang asked the servant to take the selected manuscript, Fan Wenruo read five or six reviews, returned the manuscript to Yang Shixiang, and praised: "Zhang Gongzi's selection is going to make Qingpu paper expensive!" He bowed his hand to Zhang Yuan and said: "This time I came from Changzhou, I fulfilled the appointment of Qingpu last time, and came to ask Zhang Gongzi to make one hundred and twenty articles of engraving and printing." He immediately ordered his servant to bring two hundred taels of silver.

Yang Shixiang also knows that Zhang Yuan's current craftsmanship must be widely expected by all living beings in the south of the Yangtze River, and the printing of Zhang Yuan's collection of essays will be heavily profitable, but because Fan Wenruo and Zhang Yuan made an appointment in advance, he is not good at begging Zhang Yuan to print the collection of art, this trip to Shanyin has been satisfied with Zhang Yuan's selection, and people can't be too greedy - this evening, Zhang Yuan invited Fan Wenruo, Jin Langzhi, Yang Shixiang, and Jin Bozong to a banquet in the Fuxue Palace Cross Street Restaurant, and invited the eldest brother Zhang Dai and the third brother Zhang Cao to accompany him, Zhang Cao heard that he would not go to Baihualou to drink flower wine, He couldn't refuse, saying that he was too lazy to listen to the stinky eight stocks at the table.

Zhang Cao is wise not to come to the banquet, and the most said during the banquet is Bagu, Zhang Dai said: "The literary friends of the Fushui Mountain House Society and the Qingpu Literary Society came to Shanyin, and they should also do their landlord's friendship with the children of the lower Jie, and they invited a few literary friends in this county to gather with you to discuss the papers, just in the garden." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Dai sent servants to invite Zhou Monong, Uncle Yao Jian, Qi Yiyuan and Qi Biaojia brothers, as well as several other Shanyin students to go to the garden to gather, taste tea papers, and finally inevitably watch a meal class performance of "The Peony Pavilion Returns the Soul", such a literary meeting has been gathered for two days in a row, in addition to discussing current affairs, but also discussing current affairs, criticizing the disadvantages of the times, and being generous - since Zhang Yuan has the ambition of establishing a party and society to influence the government, then he must have his own ideas and political opinions, and political ideas are not in a hurry to express now, The proposition should be established, and only with a clear proposition can we unite the same interests and influence others - since Jiajing, the first seven sons headed by Li Mengyang advocated that "the text must be Qin and Han, and the poetry must be prosperous in the Tang Dynasty", and the latter seven sons headed by Li Panlong and Wang Shizhen also advocated retro, Zhang Yuan thought a lot about these words, is it more radical retro, with "Wenbi Six Classics, Poetry Must Six Dynasties" as the proposition, or the disadvantages of the seven sons before and after the innovation, put forward their own unique proposition?

On the second day of the Lingyuan Literary Society, Zhang Yuan and a group of literary friends discussed the articles of the retro school of the seven sons before and after, and the students at the meeting were quite educated except for a few people who only read the four books and the five classics and did not read other books, they were all quite educated, Zhang Yuan eloquently and eloquently, accusing the retro school of overkill, losing the disadvantages of the original heart, thinking that the retro school followed the rules, did not have the surname of creation, and wrote articles that were not sons, scriptures, and were quite nondescript. With fragmented sentences and cumbersome allusions, this is a new trend in the text, so Zhang Yuan proposed that "the main text is Ou, Zeng, Fa Zongcheng and Hong" - Ou and Zeng are Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gong, Cheng and Hong refer to the eight literary styles during the Chenghua and Hongzhi periods, this is Zhang Yuan's proposition, to write the article clearly and clearly, not to make it obscure, so as to make it mysterious, in addition to reading the scriptures, but also to read more ancient texts, Zhang Yuan's proposition is very practical, he did not put forward the teacher of the more famous Han Yu and Su Shi, Han Chao Su Hai, Han Yu's article is too imposing, not suitable for the eight strands of literature constraints, and Su Shi belongs to the genius type, it is a wonderful essay at your fingertips, Su Shi's writing is not easy to learn, it is easy to draw a tiger and not an anti-dog, relatively speaking, Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gong are easier to learn the law, so the purpose of learning ancient texts is also very clear, that is, for the imperial examination, in order to unite all beings, there is no other way except the imperial examination, advocating that it is conducive to coping with the scientific examination in order to gather the applicants, Zhang Yuan himself is a practitioner, Zhang Yuan wants to call on all students with his success in the scientific examination, This is the most convincing - Zhang Dai, Qi Biaojia and other young high-spirited people are high-fived Zhang Yuan for daring to accuse Wang Shizhen of such a domestic literary sect, and also agree with Zhang Yuan's proposition, Zhang Yuan also proposed that Shanyin should also set up a literary society to regularly learn from the current literature, Zhang Dai and others are enthusiastic, "the author Ou Zeng, Fazong Chenghong" will be the proposition of the Shanyin Literary Society.

Fan Wenruo and Jin Langzhi stayed in Shanyin for six days, and after the Midyear Festival on July 15, they bid farewell to Zhang Yuan and Zhang Dai brothers together with Yang Shixiang and Jin Bozong and returned to their hometowns.

Now, Zhang Yuan has to concentrate on preparing for the Taoist test in April and May next year, and strive for Xiao Sanyuan, although he is also a showman, but Xiao Sanyuan's reputation is very different, in order to make Yang Shixiang and Fan Wenruo's books sell better, he must work hard, he must study the "Spring and Autumn Period", and do a good job in the scriptures, because he learned from his uncle Zhang Rulin that Wang Tixue's scripture is also "Spring and Autumn", and he is a well-known "Spring and Autumn" scholar, which is equivalent to getting a big axe in front of Luban, and this big axe must be played well and wonderfully. It is good to get into the eyes of Wang Tixue, but unfortunately Mr. Liu Zongzhou went to the capital, otherwise you can ask Mr. Liu for the "Spring and Autumn" scriptures, Mr. Liu is a great Confucian, not specializing in one classic, but Boqia Five Classics, all proficient in ——...... The drought in Sanyin ended overnight, and on the third day after Fan Wenruo and the others left Sanyin, that is, on the 19th of July, in the early morning, before Zhang Yuan got up, he heard Mu Zhenzhen by the patio crying happily: "Young master, wife, eldest lady, it's raining, it's raining!" ”

The rabbit pavilion is also shouting: "It's raining, it's raining!" ”

Zhang Yuan turned over and got out of bed, walked to the corridor with his shoes on, and saw Mu Zhenzhen and Rabbit Pavilion jumping and jumping in the patio, staring carefully, and sure enough, there was a drizzle of rain falling.

Zhang's mother Lu and Zhang Ruoxi, Zhou Ma, and Yiting also appeared on the corridor of the south building, all smiling, and Zhang's mother Lu said: "Guanyin Bodhisattva bless, Sea Dragon King bless, this rain is heavier." ”

Zhang Yuan was also worried at first that the rain was too small, it didn't rain for long, and it couldn't solve the drought, but the rain was like silk at first, and then it was a drop, and finally it was a rain line that was endless, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and in the afternoon, the big stone came to report in the rain that there was water in the Mash River again - the Mash River had been broken for almost two months, Zhang's mother Lu had only seen the Mash River break this time in Zhang's 30 years, and she heard that there was water in the river again, and she was happy in her heart, so she let Zhang Yuan and Zhang Ruoxi accompany her, and Zhou's mother took Luchun and Lujie to the back garden to see the river, and the small building in the back garden has been completed. Tung oil has also been brushed again, now only the front steps of the building have not been built, and some sundries have not been cleaned up, and then a few days can buy furniture and utensils to move in.

The big stone said that there was water in the mash river, but in fact it was only a shallow stream a few feet wide, and as the rain continued to fall, the river water became abundant, like a hidden dragon hidden in the ground for many days and began to shake its head and tail to emerge - the two little brothers and grandmother had not seen rain for four months, and these grandmothers and mothers had heard a lot about drought and rain, and they were also very eager for rain.

Zhang Yuan saw that the third brother Zhang Cao, Wang Kedian, and Pan Xiaofei also walked to the stone arch bridge to watch the rain and see the water of the Mash River, several people were holding umbrellas, but Zhang Cao suddenly threw the umbrella into the air, and the umbrella fell into the river from the bridge.

The rain was not light, Zhang Cao quickly drenched his headscarf and clothes, and walked across the stone bridge to Zhang Yuan and them-Rabbit Pavilion and Mu Zhenzhen shared an oil-paper umbrella, and Rabbit Pavilion was worried: "The third prince is going to snatch our umbrella." ”

Zhang Cao walked over and saluted Zhang's mother Lu and Zhang Ruoxi, with a rainy face and a smile, thinking it was very interesting.

Zhang's mother Lu said with a smile: "Yan Ke don't want to be in the rain like this, be careful of catching a cold and getting sick." ”

Zhang Cao said: "I haven't seen the rain for more than half a year, and now I am happy. ”

There is an example of purity and cleanliness, and it is even more noisy to get drenched in the rain.

Zhang Yuan saw that the rain was menacing, and he was afraid that the drought would be followed by flooding, so he went to tell Shi Shuangming to rush to the grange by Jianhu Lake early in the morning, and told Xie Qi to pay a few tenant farmers not to wait for the weather to clear and quickly harvest the early rice, which was supposed to be harvested at the end of the month, but it was okay to harvest a few days earlier, lest the rain fall one after another and the ripe grains will be removed.
