70, in full swing (1st update)
However, Feng Lun, as a prefect and a local magistrate, obviously thinks more deeply than his daughter. He looked at Bai Rongcheng meaningfully for a while, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Bai Yuanwai is enthusiastic about literary affairs and generous, which is worthy of praise." ”
Bai Rongcheng naturally has to be modest.
In this way, after Liu Zhixian's repeated requests, Feng Lun finally agreed to host the "Huangshan on the Sword" literary meeting at that time.
It is foreseeable that this cultural meeting will become a rare event in She County and even Huizhou for several years, even the Li family has come forward to support, its scale and influence can be estimated, and the local chronicles must be heavily written down, Feng Zhifu as the highest official of Jiangning Mansion, naturally it is also a major achievement of his revitalization of culture and education, why not.
The hall was happy for a while.
Feng Zhenzhen felt more and more troubled and nervous.
It is said that there is no business and no treachery, how can anyone do a loss-making business, the Bai family clearly wants to use this Wenhui to sell well with the government, no wonder Li Xiaoqi will drink with Bai Fuli, Bai Xiuqing and others in the Drunken Immortal Residence today, I am afraid that it is because of this incident.
She doesn't care about anything else, the only thing, Li Xiaoqi wants to paint for the Wenhui, and he must participate in the whole process, Bai Xiuqing doesn't know how many opportunities he can put on him. Bai Xiuqing has been in love with Li Xiaoqi for a long time, if there is some ambiguity because of this......
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she remembered the discussion of her companions when she was in the Drunken Immortal Residence, Bai Xiuqing was just a fool, and she had always been straightforward, how could she have these fancy intestines, but it was Meng Qingyun beside her who was even more threatening.
After Jianfangyuan that day, she inquired that the Meng family was the in-law of the Bai family, and Meng Qingyun and Bai Xiuqing were cousins. is different from the identity of the daughter of Bai Xiuqing Shangjia, Meng Qingyun is the daughter of an official eunuch, her uncle works in the Ministry of Rites, although her father is worried, she will recover after three years, at least it is also a Zhizhou start, the Meng family is said to be a Wang family in Zhejiang, and the Li family is a good family.
The woman's dazzling face and cunning and changeable speech were not fuel-efficient lamps at first glance.
Feng Zhenzhen finally felt a strong sense of crisis.
When Bai Rongcheng returned to the Bai family's mansion, everyone was waiting for news from the Shantang.
"Uncle is back!"
Bai Fujian was the first to rush in to report the news, and then everyone heard Bai Rongcheng's hearty laughter.
When he stepped into the threshold, led by Bai Rongxin, Bai Fuli, Bai Xiuqing, Meng Qingyun, and several shopkeepers of the Bai family, they all rushed up.
Bai Rongxin said with a smile: "Listening to the laughter of the eldest brother, it must be done." ”
Bai Rongcheng calmed down, waved his hand with a smile, and everyone returned to the hall and sat down.
Only then did he open his mouth: "I went to the county government first, Liu Zhixian heard that Mr. Wu and the Li family came forward, so he couldn't wait to pull me, went directly to the prefect's yamen, and met the Feng governor's mansion, he still had some Qiao, but we were well prepared, the literary world has Mr. Wu's call, the official has the support of the Li family, and then there is the silver money sponsorship of our Bai family. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and cheered and applauded with joy.
With the support of the government and the county government, the "Huangshan on the Sword" literary meeting can be said to be all ready, only the east wind is owed.
Bai Rongcheng said to Meng Qingyun: "This time, if you can invite the Li family Qilang, Yuan Niang should be the first to take the lead." ”
Meng Qingyun said with a smile: "I didn't do anything, but there was a favor of two thousand taels of silver in front of me." ”
Bai Rongcheng smiled very happily: "Only by fighting righteousness and squandering wealth can we get married later." He said to Bai Fuli and the others, "But do good deeds, don't ask about the future." Convenient with others, convenient for yourself. You and your brother and sister can learn. ”
Bai Fuli, Bai Fujian, and Bai Xiuqing all hurriedly stood up and respectfully responded.
In the next few days, Meng Qingyun fully realized the courage and efficiency shown by the Bai family when fully mobilizing all manpower, financial and material resources, and also had a truly intuitive understanding of "the richest man in Jiangnan" for the first time.
Although Ciguang Temple promised the Bai family to provide a venue, Bai Rongcheng and Bai Rongxin did not plan to hold the Wenhui in the temple, but chose an empty platform outside the temple and temporarily began to build a "sword platform", which involved a lot of civil engineering. Stones, wood, and craftsmen appear like flowing water on the mountain path leading to Ciguang Temple.
With the invitation of Mr. Wu Zhishan sent out, in about five or six days, the county began to pour in students and literati from all over the country, and the major restaurants and inns in the city ushered in the peak of passenger flow. These sorcerers are from Xiuning, Jixi, Qianxian, Chun'an, Jiande near Shexian County, and there are also from Qimen and Tonglu a little farther away.
Mr. Wu's name of "Jiangnan Wengu" is well deserved.
With the arrival of these literati and scholars, large and small restaurants and restaurants in She County, Goolan Washe, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, there are student gatherings every day, talking loudly, meeting friends with literature, and even the streets and alleys seem to have an extra layer of scholarly ink rhyme.
The "Huangshan on the Sword" literary meeting has become famous before it is held.
Scholars and students naturally discuss the debate topic of the Wenhui "On the Virtue of the Prince", the so-called virtue of the Prince, talking about the natural to the real people in front of him, now the government and the opposition all know that sooner or later the official family will have a step-heir from the children of the clan, otherwise do you expect the old man who is almost sixty to give birth to a son? If you dare to think about it, the officials themselves dare not believe it.
The children of the various clans and palaces have long been pulled out and picked up, who is virtuous, who is brave, who is promiscuous, who is cowardly, I don't know how many times they have been discussed, and they have long formed various factions and camps.
This sword discussion is nothing more than an openness of public opinion in the government and the opposition.
But for the people in the market, the most talked about thing is not which sect's children have the virtue of a prince, but the top three students of this literary meeting will receive a huge bonus provided by the Bai family, with a maximum of 1,000 taels of silver!
What is the concept of a thousand taels of silver, the farmer's whole year of chewing and employing all the favors is not more than twenty or thirty taels of silver, a three-entry courtyard in Shexian County is only two or three hundred taels, and the courtyard of the same scale in Bianjing City, if you don't pick the most expensive lot, you can also take it.
The Bai family is really worthy of the name of the richest man!
The day before Xiaoman, the matter of "Huangshan on the sword" in Shexian County was in full swing.
Meng Qingyun received a letter from Yizhou.
Letter from Father Monzin.
The letter to the CCP is two things. The first is to say that he knows what the eldest lady Lu did relayed by Meng Qingyun, and he will dispose of it when he returns to Yaxi; The second thing is to express anger at the Lu Wangfu, together with the Yongkang Marquis Mansion and the Lu family, in a vain attempt to secretly send Meng Qingyun to the Lu Wangfu as a concubine, and at the same time praise Meng Qingyun's wit to get out of trouble, "My son is smart", and finally said that this matter is the father's own opinion, and there will be compensation, and the daughter does not have to worry about it, and she does not have to pay attention to it.
After reading the letter, Meng Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief.
This father, who has never met before, seems to be very powerful.
