Zhang Zongshi drank tea silently, there were only a few friends around him who had known him many years ago, and someone looked at him from time to time, unconcealing the envy in his eyes. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At this time, a person at the next table asked loudly, "Brother Zhang, why don't you go to the shore of Dongting Lake to look for Zhang Longxiang?"

Zhang Zongshi smiled slightly, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and asked, "Do you want me to tell the truth or lie?"

The first floor of the restaurant suddenly fell silent, in this friend house, Zhang Zongshi's literary position is not the highest, and the power is not the greatest, but it is definitely the most promising and the most eye-catching.

The man said, "What about lies?"

"Zhang Mingzhou is a master with hidden whereabouts, if he wants to show up, I can see it when I stand downstairs in Yueyang, if he doesn't want to show up, I can't find it all over Dongting Lake. Instead of doing something in vain, it is better to stay here to drink tea and chat, and wait for the Yueyang Lou Cultural Conference to be held. Zhang Zongshi said with a smile.

"What about the truth?" the man continued.

"Zhang Mingzhou came to Xiangzhou, he will definitely lose, let's not disturb his mind, otherwise people from all over the world will definitely say that Fang Xusheng is not martial. Zhang Zongshi said with a smile.

Many people laughed along, as a person from Jingguo, as a person from Xiangzhou, and as a person who stood with Fang Yun, he really had to have this kind of self-confidence.

"Yes, this time in the literary competition, Fang Xusheng will definitely win a big victory! Come, let's toast Fang Xusheng with a cup!" said a big man in a scholar's robe.

Everyone raised their glasses, tea or wine, raised full of blessings, and drank warm hopes.

A Xiucai said: "Brother Zhang, the reason why we are not in a hurry to go to Yueyang Tower is because we can't grab a good place, so we can just sit on the ground outside and watch the excitement when the time comes." Why are you still here? With your way, you should be able to occupy a good position, right? Needless to say, the four seats of A, B, C and D must be reserved for you in the last seat. ”

Everyone in the entire restaurant fell silent, and they all looked at Zhang Zongshi curiously.

The seats at this conference were very lively topics.

The meeting was jointly organized by Confucius and the Xiangzhou government, because of the large number of people, it was extremely difficult to arrange seats, so according to the habit of Confucius City, five seats were divided, namely the first seat, the second seat, the third seat, the Ding seat and the last seat.

The first seat is downstairs in Yueyang, and the seats behind it are getting farther and farther away. Up to the ding seat, each person has not only a separate chair, but also a table for ten people, and there is food on the table.

The last seat has only a separate seat, and there is no table, but there are mooncakes presented by the cultural association.

Outside the last seat, there are plenty of benches to sit in according to the region of each country. However, even these seats have already been occupied, after all, the number of people in this meeting will continue to increase, and it will inevitably exceed one million, even if many people in Baling City bring their own stools and chairs, it is impossible for everyone to sit down.

The big man on the side said enviously: "Then you don't need to ask, with Brother Zhang's talent, you can definitely be at the bottom of the table." ”

A blue-clothed Xiu next to him put away his fan and talked endlessly.

"Not necessarily. Needless to say, it is the seat of the monarchs of various countries, the heads of families, the great Confucians, or the powerful ministers of various countries, not only have the right to speak in the Holy House, but also enough to decide the affairs of a country. As for seat B, all of them are scholars or heads of wealthy families, and they all have a high status in each country, and although they cannot decide the affairs of a country, they have a lot of influence over a country, and this is also not the kind of money that can sit there. ”

"Seat C is the seat of Hanlin, and if you are an official, you can influence certain affairs of a state. It is said that Ge Million is in seat C, although his civil status is not high, but he controls the Qingjiang Commercial Bank, which is enough to affect the livelihood of the people in several states. In addition to the big shopkeepers of Hanlin and major commercial houses, there are also some children of families, or young and handsome, or with high seniority, even if they are not Hanlin, they can also sit down. The high status of the children of the family is obvious to all, so there is no need to say more. ”

"Ding Xi is a Jinshi seat, in addition to Jinshi can sit, those ordinary children of families and elites of wealthy families can enter it, and a few famous family heads and the richest man in a city are also eligible to sit down. These people have a certain influence on the affairs of the government. ”

"The last seat is to raise people's seats, and the patriarchs of the wang clan and the rich people from all over the country have a way to enter, and these people can have an impact on a county. In the past, we may not be able to reach the status of the last person in our lifetime, but as the star power of Wenqu skyrockets and the vitality of heaven and earth increases greatly, we also have the opportunity to become one of them!"

"Although Brother Zhang is only a child, he is very insightful and has the talent of a scholar. However, this meeting was jointly organized by the Xiangzhou government and Kong Cheng, and most of the invitations were sent in the form of letters, and Brother Zhang had no official seal or name, and the possibility of the person in charge of the meeting inviting him to the table was very slim. ”

The big man retorted, "Not necessarily. I heard a friend who worked as a clerk in Baling Mansion say that at the end of the meeting, not only people were invited, but also some well-known old Xiucai and old Tongsheng, as well as dozens of talented Tongsheng and Xiucai. If you invite Brother Zhang, it is not surprising. ”

Lanyi Xiucai smiled and said: "Some people on the list have concluded that this Mid-Autumn Festival has surpassed the Mid-Autumn Festival in Confucius over the years, and it is the grandest cultural meeting in the past ten years, and only the canonization of the Cultural Conference can win steadily." In terms of scale and impact on the human race, it is equivalent to a ten-nation competition. Such an important literary meeting cannot tolerate the slightest sloppiness, Brother Zhang has no one in the official mansion, but he has an extremely distant relationship with Fang Xusheng, so I think it is difficult for him to sit at the table. ”

The big man said: "Forget it, I won't fight with you, I won't guess, just ask." Brother Zhang, have you received an invitation from the Wenhui?"

The people present looked at Zhang Zongshi, and some of them even had a small calculation, if Zhang Zongshi really didn't receive the invitation, it meant that he had almost nothing to do with Fang Yun, even if he used means to get the Void Saint Blood Poetry Wall, Fang Yun might not come forward.

Zhang Zongshi smiled and said, "I didn't want to publicize this matter, but since this brother asked, I will say it directly." Yesterday afternoon, I received an invitation from the Governor's Palace. ”

"Look, I'll just say that Brother Zhang has an invitation to the last seat!" the big man laughed heartily.

The people in the restaurant looked at Zhang Zongshi enviously, and the blue-clothed Xiucai was about to speak, Zhang Zongshi smiled and said: "It's not the last invitation, it's the Ding invitation." ”

There is silence in the restaurant, and it is already a very high treatment for a child to get the invitation to the last seat, but Zhang Zongshi can actually get the invitation to the Ding seat, except for having something to do with Fang Yun, there is no second possibility.

The hotel shopkeeper smiled according to the abacus, and said: "Brother Zhang's mouth is too strict, I'll tell the truth, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Brother Zhang will enter the state government as a clerk, and if he does well, he will enter the governor's palace." ”

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect that there was really a big man here.

"Congratulations to Brother Zhang!" everyone present looked at Zhang Zongshi with eager eyes, and most of them were thinking about how to befriend Zhang Zongshi.

Zhang Zongshi got up and arched his hand: "Thank you." "It's not arrogant, it's the same as before.

The restaurant was lively again, discussing Zhang Zongshi's affairs one after another, and suddenly, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Zhang Longxiang has written a poem!
