Ling Changzhi asked Yan Yunquan to drink.

In the Lingfu Garden, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed, and the scenery is slightly bleak.

Yesterday, the capital received its first snow of the winter.

As the night passed, the snow stopped.

There is a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Accompanied by the snowy scene, drinking hot and warm wine, surrounded by the stove, the screen blocked the cold wind, and playing the piano and singing songs had a unique flavor.

Ling Changzhi not only invited Yan Yunquan, but also invited several students who he was optimistic about who had not yet become a student.

Let's have a poetry in the snow and hold a poetry meeting.

Changed Ming'er, put everyone's poems and words into a booklet, and published it.

But as long as there is an outstanding poem that is disseminated, the Ling Family Poetry Society will be famous all over the world.

As long as the reputation is out, it can attract talented people from all over the world to gather in the Ling Family Poetry Club.

After one or two decades of good business, Ling Changzhi can also become a famous Confucian in the world and a teacher sought after by scholars.

His status, even if the emperor wants to punish him, he has to weigh the criticism of the world.

What is fame?

That's fame!

Fame is a person's talisman and a shortcut to officialdom.

After Ling Changzhi came to the capital, every step he took was the crystallization of the wisdom of the family.

Because every step he takes, the elders have already planned it for him.

Becoming famous and being recognized by Confucianism is the first step.

Becoming an official is the second step.

Raising hope is the third step.

What could be more hopeful than a poetry meeting or a literary meeting?

No!

The Ling family is a great family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, with a profound heritage and a terrifying collection of books.

All kinds of unique books, remnants, everything.

With this background, plus the ability to make money, and the unlimited supply of money and food, the Ling family's poetry club and literary club will become famous all over the world sooner or later.

If nothing else, Ling Changzhi will become a great Confucian sooner or later.

And the Ling family can also go one step further and become a top family, comparable to a big family like the Cui family.

A top family, the attraction of talents, is three points stronger than the royal family.

Why?

Because he took refuge in a top family, he can be an official if he is appreciated.

From local officials to court officials, the top families can handle it.

It's nothing more than the difference in length of time.

This is the terrifying strength of the top family.

Not only does it have rare money ability, it has decades of food that can't be eaten, it has countless fertile fields, and thousands of private soldiers.

What's even worse is that the top families basically monopolize the career of officials and monopolize the inheritance of knowledge.

Even the royal family, even the emperor, in the face of the top family, has to give up three points.

Emperor Zhongzong dared to open the imperial examination, but when his son Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping succeeded to the throne, the first thing he did was to abolish the imperial examination.

Why?

Because Emperor Zhongzong was able to withstand the pressure of the family, it was a pity that the first emperor, that is, Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping, could not withstand the pressure of the family.

After Emperor Xuanzong Yuanping overturned the "Prince Zhangyi", he was able to ascend the throne and become the emperor, relying on the family.

As an emperor, he naturally wants to repay the family that supports him.

What could be more sincere than the abolition of the imperial examinations?

When the current emperor, that is, Emperor Yongtai ascended the throne and became the emperor, he didn't even dare to mention the word "imperial examination".

Cowardly?

It's really cowardly!

But it can't be helped.

The imperial court was spread all over the family.

Even if the civil and military are opposed, many generals themselves are from families, but they are all from medium or inferior families.

For example, the Yan family can be regarded as a family, a family that does not enter the stream.

It cannot be denied that the Yan family is also a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years.

The Ling family has great ambitions.

They not only want to be a big family, but also a top family.

One day, it will be able to influence the emperor to depose.

Therefore, Ling Changzhi, whose family resources are piled up, his energy is terrifying.

Anything he wants to do, it's easier than others.

Even if his own brother Ling Changfeng is not angry, as long as he is angry, Ling Changfeng will be rich and unparalleled in his life.

Kim Thigh is a big brother, what could be more awesome than this?

Yan Yunpei, as Ling Changfeng's wife, can naturally enjoy the dignity she deserves.

In today's poetry meeting, Ling Changzhi is just a small test.

The crowd drank and sang songs, and chanted poems.

Yan Yunquan also wanted fame, so he picked up his pen and racked his brains to conceive poems.

MMP, the eldest son of a family of military generals, is too difficult for him to compare poems with a group of students who have read the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood.

However, if you don't compose a poem, you will be looked down upon on this occasion.

spread it, and no students would want to associate with him in the future.

What to do? What to do?

He scratched his ears and cheeks, and all his wit was completely useless on the occasion of examining real talent and learning.

Today, I use the snow scene as a poem, ahhh

Ling Changzhi came to him quietly and whispered, "If Brother Yunquan is embarrassed, it is better to use mine." ”

After speaking, a piece of rice paper full of poems appeared in front of Yan Yunquan.

Yan Yunquan's throat rolled, and he subconsciously licked the corners of his mouth, "This, this, this, this can't work!" ”

Can he plagiarize?

Absolutely!

If he knew that today was a poetry meeting two days in advance, and he didn't just drink, he would ask his master to write poems early for him to copy.

As a result, when I arrived at Ling's house, I realized that today was not only drinking, but also a poetry club.

What a cheat!

The master didn't come today, and there were two little guys who knew a few words with him.

He can copy, but he can't copy Ling Changzhi's poems.

Because, this will become his handle.

Yan Yunquan has not yet made the mind faint, he can still think rationally.

Ling Changzhi persuaded him, "The students who came to participate in the poetry meeting today are all talented, and there is no dust under them. If Brother Yun Quan can't conquer them with his talents, they will definitely despise Brother Yun Quan. You and my brother, how can I watch Brother Yun Quan being laughed at. This poem was acquired by accident by me, and it has never been published, and no one else knows about it. Brother Yun Quan can use it. Rest assured, no one will say it. ”

Ling Changzhi's feelings are sincere, but if his will is a little weaker, he will be shaken.

Yan Yunquan was also wavering, but after all, he knew the importance of fame, which was obviously more important than a temporary benefit.

He resisted the temptation vigorously and shook his head again and again, "No, no, how can I use Brother Changzhi's poems to save face, then I will not become a villain." I appreciate Brother Changzhi's kindness, but I can only refuse this kindness. ”

Ling Changzhi stared at him, "Brother Yun Quan really doesn't think about it?" ”

Yan Yunquan shook his head again and again, "Thank you Brother Changzhi for your kindness, I work hard myself, and I may be able to get a sentence or two of poetry." ”

Ling Changzhi immediately said: "Brother Yun Quan is really ambitious. It's just that I didn't think it through. However, I still put this poem here for you, and if you change your mind, you can refer to it at any time. ”

Ling Changzhi left a poem, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave, not taking a single snowflake with him.

Yan Yunquan looked confused.

To copy or not to copy, it's a difficult choice.

It is equivalent to Ling Changzhi putting a huge temptation in front of him, which is fatal.

Half an hour later, Yan Yunquan still didn't hold back a word of poetry.

Others have successively had excellent works and have begun to evaluate.

Yan Yunquan dropped his pen and sighed.

Roll a roll of rice paper and throw it into the paper basket.

It's just that he still doesn't compete with this group of readers.

In the end, he still did not copy Ling Changzhi's poetry and fame, because he was afraid of leaving a handle and becoming a stain.

If someone turns it out in the future, then his reputation will be ruined.

What does it matter if you don't get poetry in a poetry meeting, you will be looked down upon by a few students.

Compared with losing face in front of the world's scholars, he can tell which is more important.

Ling Changzhi was really a little surprised when he saw that he hadn't written a single poem or copied it, and obviously showed a surprised expression.

Yan Yunquan laughed at himself, "If you don't learn enough, you won't be ugly." When I get back, I'll have to spend more time making up for the missed homework. ”

"Brother Yun Quan made this choice, don't you regret it?"

Yan Yunquan shook his head, "No regrets." ”

"If you don't regret it! They are busy, if Brother Yun Quan is interested, why don't we go to the wing room for a drink. ”

"Brother Changzhi, please!"

The two avoided the other students and went to the wing.

The maid had already warmed the wine, put the appetizers, and waited for the guests to enjoy themselves.

The two sat down separately, and Ling Changzhi raised his wine glass, "I'll do it first as a respect, Brother Yunquan is free." ”

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Ling Changzhi talked about the recent hot topic in Beijing: Fugui Villa opened classes and taught how to grow vegetables in winter greenhouses.

"Brother Yunquan has a good sister, such a big crisis, I will be anxious. I didn't expect this Yan Si girl to solve it by starting a class at one time, which can be called a stroke of genius. Truly remarkable. ”

Yan Yunquan said: "Don't hide it from Brother Changzhi, I didn't expect it beforehand. On that day, I received a message from Brother Changzhi, and I went to the county lord's mansion for a while to report the situation. Unexpectedly, Mrs. said that the fourth sister had expected all this long before planting winter vegetables, and had a way to deal with it. At that time, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect the fourth sister to break the enemy with one move, which was really amazing. ”

Ling Changzhi poured wine for Yan Yunquan, "Brother Yunquan, as the elder brother of Miss Yan Si, is also so surprised, could it be that when she was in Shanggu County before, Miss Yan never showed her intelligence in this regard?" ”

Yan Yunquan shook his head, "The fourth sister has had many wonderful ideas since she was a child, but most of them are whimsical and unrealistic. At that time, she couldn't speak, all I know is that she was short-tempered, often beating people, and liked to ask her father for money.

If you want to say what kind of intelligence, smart is really smart. But at that time, I only saw a little cleverness. I really don't see the so-called intelligence. Where did I think that when I arrived in the capital, the fourth sister opened a store and opened up the wasteland, and I was taken aback by making such a big move.

It's like, at home, she's just an ignorant child. As a result, as soon as she went out, she became a big girl with responsibilities and ideas. ”

Ling Changzhi raised his eyebrows, "Listening to what Brother Yunquan said, Miss Yan Si has been hiding when she was at home in the past. ”

"Is it clumsy?" Yan Yunquan thought about it carefully, "It's possible that she is really hiding it." Anyway, I can't read her right now. But in some ways, she is still the same, and she wants money as before. ”

Ling Changzhi laughed, "I believe this!" If you don't want money, how dare you talk about the tuition fee of fifty yuan per person. ”
