The world is very realistic, people remember the champion, but often ignore the leader.

The surname of Zhang Yuan's list in the fifth year of Longqing is Liu Mingxuan, a native of Wu County, Suzhou, and he is also an editor in Dingjiatang. It took three years to win more than 300 jinshi, and the first and second places in the top three were all from one organization, which will undoubtedly bring great shock. Therefore, Xu Jie personally wrote the three words "Dingjiatang", found a famous craftsman to engrave plaques, lacquer gold, and firecrackers to tour the city, brushed his face generously, and then hung it up.

Dingjiatang is located in Shenghu Academy, and the students here are all rushing to the imperial examination, seeing this golden plaque hanging up, I learned that there is a champion, a leader, and several jinshi, each blood is boiling, as if the next champion is their own.

Xu Jie asked Wang Shizhen to write a note, asking the craftsman to carve a tablet and stand in front of Dingjia Hall. Xu Yuanzuo read the whole article and felt that the writing was really beautiful, and maybe it would be included in the textbook in the future. As for Dingjiatang, it will definitely become a famous spot in Songjiang in the future, and it may also become a university, and it will continue to be opened from generation to generation.

At the beginning of compiling the book, Xu Jie didn't expect that he had no intention of inserting willows and willows into the shade and attracting so many jinshi to help. Xu Yuanzuo didn't expect Xu Jie's insight to be so powerful, and he picked it casually and hugged Jiangnan Jinshi a lot.

On the one hand, it shows that the Jiangnan literary style is indeed prosperous, and the well-known scholars are by no means in vain. On the other hand, it also shows that knowledge really needs to stimulate each other to gain, maybe among these Jinshi who Xu Yuanzuo can't recite their names, there are scholars like Xu Yuanchun who were not originally on the list, but because they came here to study, compile books, and improve their knowledge.

Whether it was on the original history list or the new ones that were squeezed in later, all these jinshi felt that they had benefited a lot from these months in Songjiang, and they did not forget to dig wells. The most intuitive reaction is that everyone is on Xu Yuanchun's side. They pleaded for a detailed investigation of Gu Shao's case of Xu family's encroachment on Songfu's transshipment tax. Although these new science and technology scholars did not dare to say that the Xu family was innocent, they exonerated Xu Fan from both human and legal aspects.

Needless to say, Xu Yuanchun was broken in front of the palace, and he wanted to replace his father to fill the army. This is the filial piety of the father and the son, and the great Lun of the people, even the emperor cannot distribute the old son of the family on the one hand. While calling his son to be loyal. There is also a basis for legal theory, and there is no definite conclusion at the local level, and Beijing has already been convicted. Xu Jie is also the first assistant of the two dynasties, from the perspective of eight discussions, should he leave a son for him to retire for the elderly?

As soon as the new science and technology scholars were connected in series, it immediately caused a wave of protection between the DPRK and China. There are not only Jinshi from Dingjiatang, but also fellow villagers and classmates of these Jinshi. Of the 396 Jinshi of Xinweike in the fifth year of Longqing, the vast majority of them will be silent in the long river of history, and they themselves know this very well. Naturally, he wanted to make a name for himself through this incident. In case the Xu case becomes a major event that can be written into the annals of history like the Great Rites Discussion, they can make a name for themselves in it, and this life will not be wasted.

And it seems that in order to give Xu Jiazhuang momentum, Shanghai County actually won seven jinshi this year, which is the record of the most jinshi in one subject in Shanghai over the past two hundred years. Anyway, when I arrived in Beijing, Shanghai Huating was a native of Songjiang. With the naïve and almost naïve political outlook of these new science and technology scholars, standing on Xu Jie's side is obviously the most correct. It's not just because of the township party. What's more, because they are stubble jinshi, they are attributed to the second assistant Zhang Juzheng. Xu Jie is Zhang Juzheng's teacher. What more does this need to say?

"That is, while these jinshi are freshly baked, and there is also the spirit of the book, you can use it. When they entered the officialdom and began to climb up one by one, they were not as comfortable as they are now. Xu Yuanzuo held the letter from Beijing, and was not very excited about the news that was already a month ago. He now finds that the calmness and calmness of the ancients were forced. When the news of something thousands of miles away came to me, the dust had basically settled, and there was no need to be excited.

Mei Chenggong stood aside, watching Xu Yuanzuo clean up, and couldn't help urging: "Brother Zuo." I'm waiting for you to come over. ”

Xu Yuanzuo nodded, got up and walked out.

Today is the day when Renshoutang and all the industries under the control of the Xu family will issue year-end bonuses. The location is at the City God Temple in Huating. According to the current fashion, after the award ceremony is held, the Kun dialect that the people like to see will be staged, which can be regarded as a prototype of the later ceremony party.

The reason why it was chosen in the City God Temple is purely for the large space. There were a total of 342 employees and representatives who wanted to take the stage to receive the award, and there were more than 500 people who watched the ceremony and the people who watched the lively people. This is to prove the strength of the Xu family, and it must not be simple, otherwise it will be a test of human nature.

Even IQ is better not to be tested, let alone human nature?

Xu Yuanzuo has seen big scenes, and he also has all kinds of non-mainstream headline tricks in his mind. This time he used the simplest one: gold and silver.

Literally a mountain of gold and silver!

As early as two days before the ceremony, the guards of the Xu family began to carry boxes of gold and silver, piled up on the stage. At that time, it was also covered with a curtain, on the one hand, to increase the sense of mystery and arouse people's appetite, and on the other hand, it was also for safety. If someone really only has gold and silver in their eyes, they rush up and catch it and run away - although they will definitely not be able to escape, it will also make everyone quite embarrassed.

Considering the limited space, even many of the prize recipients had to stand. However, the gentry of Songjiang Mansion still have a Taishi chair per person, a coffee table at hand, and someone holding an umbrella behind them, and their demeanor has not diminished at all.

Li Wenming attended the event in place of Zheng Zhixian as usual, sitting in a rather conspicuous position, with Yuan Zhengchun, chairman of Renshoutang on one side, and Xu Fan, the head of the Xu family, on the other. He turned his head to look at the crowd around him, and said to Xu Fan: "There is such a grand occasion, Jing Lian is really talented." ”

Xu Fan smiled modestly and said, "This son just wants to be lively, and I don't know what he is waiting for." ”

While he was talking, he saw a woman on stage in small steps, wearing a costume, and when she stepped off the stage, she was shocked: it turned out to be a famous Suzhou actress Hua Yiwen.

This Hua Yiwen is a famous singer of the boudoir, and it is a famous name in Suzhou. There are very few people who like to listen to music in Matsue who have never heard of her, but there are very few people who have actually seen her. As early as ten days, there was news that Xu Xiaocaishen invited a famous actor from Suzhou to sing, and at this moment he saw a beautiful woman dressed as a boudoir on stage, and someone called Hua Yiwen's name when he boarded.

Xu Yuanzuo was standing in the background, and Cha Cha on the side opened the curtain to peek. Tut, he said: "Fortunately, Zuo Ge'er insisted on inviting the most famous, if it wasn't Hua Yiwen, wouldn't it be embarrassing to die?" ”

There was also controversy within Renjutang when the horn was invited, whether to sing well or to invite a big name. Xu Yuanzuo secretly said in his heart at that time: It's really "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" that raised you. I also pay attention to the artistic level! On this occasion, of course, please ask the biggest name. If the name is equal, then please look beautiful! Artistic level or something, go to Xia Wei to play slowly.

The voice of the audience gradually became softer, Hua Yiwen lightly opened her lips, like white singing, and said in Songjiang vernacular with a rich Suzhou accent: "The little woman Hua Yiwen is fortunate to come to this place where the articles gather, the prosperous township of Yanliu, and meet all the fathers and elders. Please take care of it! After saying a word, the man has gone down and bowed deeply. In the end, he was born in a professional class, and took care of the audience.

Li Wenming looked at Hua Yiwen, only felt a ripple in his heart, and said secretly: I have never seen such a standard woman, I see pity, I see pity! Xu Jinglian is really a blessing......

Yuan Zhengchun is old. I don't have such an idea, but it's strange: Do you have to listen to the music first?

Hua Yiwen above read euphemistically and delicately: "Fellow Songjiang fathers. Can you guess which song the little girl is going to sing today? ”

There are people below who help and report many song names.

Hua Yiwen just smiled and said nothing, and when the voice gradually quieted, he said: "Today, the little girl wants to sing a new song, called "Gold and Silver Mountain", please guess first." What's beside the little woman? She made an appearance, and the orchid pointed to the props covered by the curtain beside her, which was quite shy and naughty of a girl.

Everyone had already heard about it, but they didn't dare to be sure, and they speculated and shouted: "Jinshan! Silver Mountain! ”

Hua Yiwen smiled: "There is no mystery here. I have to call a God of Wealth to open it. Fang is the gold and silver mountain. If the little woman did it, I am afraid it would be a stake. The audience burst into laughter.

Xu Yuanzuo was already a little impatient in the back, and said in a low voice: "This little girl is quite capable of making an atmosphere." ”

Cha Cha was unconvinced: "Pretend to be tender." Zuo Ge'er didn't know that she was a twenty-year-old woman, and she still looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old. ”

Xu Yuanzuo chuckled: Twenty is an old woman? It's you're too small!

I only heard Hua Yiwen singing outside: "Please Xu Xianggong!" ”

The musicians played for a while, and Cha Cha hurriedly lifted the curtain and invited Xu Yuanzuo to the stage.

Xu Yuanzuo didn't wear a costume, but he also made a new moon-white gown. He has been exercising for a few years, full of nutrition, and as he gets older, his figure is getting better and better, and he holds up this caftan just right, which has both the elegance of a scholar and the elegance of a hero.

Hua Yiwen had already retreated to the supporting role, covered his mouth and chuckled, and said: "It is said that Xu Xianggong is the little god of wealth in the clouds, but it is wrong!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo secretly sighed: This girl doesn't press the script!

"I saw this scholar Yushu in the wind, his eyes were like stars, his eyes were as deep as the sea, obviously he should be on the roll call in Jinluan Palace, but he was Tao Zhu who was pan-sea......" Hua Yiwen sang impromptuly, and he didn't know which tune it was, and it was difficult for the musician to keep up with the accompaniment.

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head slightly, and said with a full stomach: "If you continue to sing, someone will hate you." ”

Hua Yiwen didn't expect Xu Yuanzuo to be willing to talk, and hurriedly made a frightened look, and said, "Why is this coming?" ”

"Although you sing well, I don't know that everyone below can't wait to listen to "Gold and Silver Mountain"." Xu Yuanzuo said with a smile.

Hua Yiwen hurriedly "confessed": "Please also ask Xu Xianggong to point out this mountain of gold and silver." ”

Xu Yuanzuo didn't say anything more, walked to the side, pulled the curtain, and pulled it hard. The curtain fell with an uproar, revealing a golden mountain of glittering gold inside.

Everyone in the audience took a breath in unison, and the smiles on their faces were replaced by surprise.

Silver is quite common on the market, but how many people have actually seen gold? What's more, it's made of gold bricks

"Mountain", more than a zhang high, five steps in circumference, Xu Yuanzuo is lined next to it, and it looks even taller.

This is not the end, Xu Yuanzuo walked to the other side again, removed the curtain, and revealed an identical mountain of gold.

Everyone forgot to breathe in this time, and there was silence.

Hua Yiwen knew that there were two golden mountains under the curtain, and at this moment he was also depressed, and he even forgot to speak.

Xu Yuanzuo stepped aside and applauded three times.

Two strong men pushed out a platform, with wheels underneath, more than half a man high, and a silver mountain also half a man high was piled on top. There are two scenes of Jinshan Town, and this Yinshan is a little stingy. However, before everyone came to their senses, the second silver mountain was also pushed out.

The third, fourth...... It doesn't seem to be over.

Each silver mountain is five hundred taels, looking high, the middle is actually hollow. In this way, a full twenty silver mountains were pushed to the stage, and the momentum was also amazing. Especially for the audience who don't know the truth, they don't know that Xu Yuanzuo also played a visual game.

"This should have been issued a year ago, and everyone received the silver to have a good year." Xu Yuanzuo stood forward and said in a loud voice: "Unfortunately, Xu traveled far away in Fujian and Guangdong, and he can make up for it now." Thank you for your understanding. With that, he bowed to the audience.

At this time, I saw that the identity came, and all the employees under Xu Yuanzuo, whether they were sitting or standing, returned the salute together, and they didn't dare to accept it. Li Wenming saw that Yuan Zhengchun stood up, and was embarrassed to sit, but was pressed by Xu Fan on the side: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, Mr. came to watch the ceremony on behalf of his teacher, how can there be any reason to return the gift?" ”

Li Wenming thought about it too, so he didn't move. However, when he looked at the momentum around him, he still felt terrible: it was the first time in his life that he had seen someone in the audience salute the stage.

Xu Yuanzuo continued: "Without further ado, let's wait to listen to Gusu Yizhihua's tune, and then start handing out silver." With that, he nodded at Hua Yiwen.

This time, the year-end bonus plus additional bonuses and special rewards, a total of 342 people are going to take the stage, and just reporting the names of these people is a big project. The specifications of the Golden Palace's roll call are almost three hundred or dozens of people, but they have to divide the two halves, and of course Xu Yuanzuo will not do this drudgery.

This drudgery naturally fell on Hua Yiwen. Not only did she have to sing the roll call, but she also had to sing about the important contributions of the people who took the stage to accept the award, which is really something that only professionals can bear.

Entering this link, Xu Yuanzuo's main task is to stand aside and smile and give up, and at the same time say: "Hard work." ”

The employees who met Xu Yuanzuo walked to Yinshan, and the people who had their own accounts distributed silver according to the roster. This year's income is better than last year's, and Liaodong has made a lot of profits, and the Xu family has to make a comedy again, so as long as you can come to the stage to receive the bonus, there will be at least fifty taels, which is enough to be breathtaking.
