Meng Qingyun asked Bai Rongcheng: "Uncle, may I ask, who is the person with the highest official position in the DPRK in Shexian County, or Huizhou?" ”

Bai Rongcheng thought for a while: "Naturally, it's Li Zhongcheng." ”

Li Zhongcheng is Li Mu, the head of the Li family on Doosan Street, Li Xiaoqi's father, the official worships Yu Shi Zhongcheng, and is the highest official of Yu Shi Tai. In the imperial history of this dynasty, Cheng is from the three grades, and many people on the way to the official can probably only go to this point. From Mrs. Li's pomp that day, Meng Qingyun speculated that Li Mu was estimated to be the highest official among the officials from the local background. Bai Rongcheng's answer also confirmed her guess.

Meng Qingyun said: "Since Li Zhongcheng is from She County, if the Bai family wants to find someone to guarantee in the court, Li Zhongcheng is naturally the best candidate." ”

Bai Rongcheng said: "But we have no dealings with the Li family. ”

Meng Qingyun laughed: "I didn't have it before, and it's too late to start now." It just so happens that there is an opportunity right now. She turned her head to Bai Xiuqing and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Bai Xiuqing's face was cute: "What to say?" ”

Meng Qingyun raised his eyebrows narrowly: "Say that you miss Li Xiaoqi." ”

Bai Xiuqing was taken aback, and her face was flushed. Although she has always been straightforward, she is still inevitably embarrassed when she is poked in front of so many people, and she glared at Meng Qingyun.

Meng Qingyun said: "Don't think crookedly, talk about Li Xiaoqi's climb to the Yellow Mountain." ”

Bai Fujian jumped out the most and asked, "Li Xiaoqi wants to climb Huangshan?" ”

Bai Xiuqing is also a smart girl after all, and she also realized that Meng Qingyun didn't mean to tease her, so she said: "Yes, this matter has to start with Li Xiaoqi learning to paint." Presumably everyone knows that Li Jiaqilang studied under the rules of the Hanlin Academy, and Zhang Zhizhao was the best at courtyard painting, and assigned Li Xiaoqi homework to draw a long scroll as a gift for the 60th birthday of the official family next year. Li Xiaoqi recently decided to take the Yellow Mountain as the theme, and to paint the Yellow Mountain, he naturally had to climb the Yellow Mountain first. I also found out about this matter today, many people in the city know the news, and they want to join in the fun, everyone has made an appointment, and they will go to Huangshan with Li Xiaoqi that day. ”

Bai Rongxin laughed: "Who in Shexian City doesn't know that Li Xiaoqi is beautiful, he can be called the world's Wei Jue, and his every move can attract everyone's attention. Especially the girl in the boudoir, who has never called the name of Shichiro in a dream. Since he wants to climb the Yellow Mountain, he naturally wants to cause everyone to follow suit, not strange, not strange. ”

Everyone in the audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very cheerful and relaxed for a while.

When everyone's laughter was a little subsided, Meng Qingyun said: "Li Xiaoqi's long scroll is going to be sent to Bianjing, as a congratulatory gift for the 60th birthday of the official family, if we invite him, the theme of this long scroll will be set as the upcoming literary event, and when the time comes, this painting will be viewed by the official family, which should be regarded as a great honor for the painters." Such a gimmick should be attractive enough for anyone who is interested in a career, right? ”

Bai Fujian clapped his hands and laughed: "It's not just an attraction, I'm afraid it's going to be rushed." Besides, with Li Xiaoqi here, there must be many young girls cheering on the scene, those literati and scholars boast of being romantic, how can they miss the occasion of being in the limelight in front of such a beautiful woman! Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Bai Rongcheng and Bai Rongxin also nodded in agreement.

"In this case, we have to ask the Li family Qilang first." Bai Rongcheng looked at Bai Fuli and Bai Fujian, "You two, do you have a relationship with him?" ”

Bai Fuli shook his head in shame.

Bai Fujian scratched his head and said with a smile: "I follow my uncles and fathers outside, where can I have the opportunity to associate with such a famous person." ”

Bai Rongcheng naturally showed disgusted eyes.

Bai Xiuqing rarely had a time to beat Bai Fujian, so she deliberately smiled at this time and said: "Others don't know, if Yuan Niang speaks, then Li Xiaoqi will definitely agree." ”

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at Meng Qingyun suspiciously.

Meng Qingyun said: "Li Xiaoqi owes me a favor. ”

Bai Xiuqing hurriedly added: "This favor is not small, it is worth two thousand taels of silver!" She told Meng Qingyun about the fact that Meng Qingyun gave away a Go game worth 5,000 silver at Yuliang Wharf that day.

The shopkeepers present all laughed: "I heard earlier that the granddaughter of the Bai family spent a lot of money in Chun'an, and her courage is amazing, it should have been today." ”

Bai Rongcheng was also pleased: "Since Li Qilang is sure, there are only two remaining questions, first, what kind of literary event should we organize?" Second, who is the most important person to start this activity? ”

Bai Rongxin thought for a while and said: "Since it is a literary world, it is natural to invite a person who is famous in Shilin, our place in Huizhou, the most famous is Mr. Wu Zhishan, the mountain chief of Qingfeng Academy." Da Lang, aren't you studying at Qingfeng Academy? ”

Bai Fuli touched his face and said with a smile: "I was able to enter Qingfeng Academy, and it was also because my family spent a lot of effort, but I was ashamed that I failed to win glory for the academy after taking the exam twice in a row." However, Mr. Wu has always been willing to promote the younger generations, and he has always been enthusiastic about things in the literary world. ”

Every problem has been solved one by one, and everyone has gradually gained confidence.

"So there is only one last question, what is the name of this event?"

Everyone thinks on their own.

Bai Fujian is the most flexible in thinking, and he has already had an idea, and said: "I heard what my eldest brother said on weekdays, and the most popular thing in the literary world today is not which clan disciple the official family chooses to succeed as the heir, so it is better to use this as a topic and invite those literati and scholars to make a big discussion, it will be very lively!" ”

Everyone said, "Great idea! ”

Meng Qingyun was stunned and dumbfounded: "Can this kind of thing be said publicly?" ”

Everyone laughed, Bai Rongxin said: "Naturally, you can't say it so bluntly, although this matter has been discussed in the government and the opposition for several years, and it is nothing for the people in the market to talk about it casually, but the scholars should be more cautious, especially the officials in the office, to avoid the suspicion of standing in line, so although this issue is feasible, it is not good to say it directly." ”

Bai Rongcheng nodded and said, "It's better to leave this matter to Mr. Wu Zhishan and Mr. Wu to adjudicate, he will definitely be able to grasp the balance." Dalang, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

Bai Fuli hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”

Even so, it was enough for Meng Qingyun to express surprise and admiration at the openness of the dynasty's remarks. However, seeing that everyone has no opinions, she naturally does not object.

It's just that he suddenly had a bad taste, and said with a smile: "The sages are all over the place, the young and the long are gathered, gather in Huangshan, and hold a literary event, which will definitely become a good story in the future." Since it is a grand event, it should have a resounding name. I thought of a name for this literary meeting, and it was called - Huangshan on the Sword, how about it? ”
