Wei Chen immediately appointed the impartial Sheng Changbai as the social supervisor, and asked the remaining seventy-eight scholars to nominate three social supervisors themselves to be responsible for maintaining the order of the social assembly.

After arranging these, the first gathering of Jingxi Society officially began.

Wei Chen chose one of the "Mencius" to talk about, and while speaking, he shared with everyone his experience in writing articles when he participated in the imperial examination.

Wei Chen has been a human being for two generations, has experienced countless exams, and has tutored Sheng Changfeng, Qi Heng and others before, so he naturally knows what these scholars want to hear the most.

What is said is the experience and lessons that have been tempered for thousands of years, and there is not a word of useless empty words.

The dozens of scholars left behind were all people who were interested in the imperial examination, and they were very excited when they heard Wei Chen's full explanation of dry goods.

Wei Chen spoke for an hour, and all the scholars listened to it unsatisfied, even Sheng Changbai, Wang Yaochen and others also gained a lot, and they couldn't wait for Wei Chen to continue talking.

However, Wei Chen was also a little tired from speaking, so the other six elders of Jingxi Society took turns to give speeches.

Among the six people, Sheng Changbai is the leader of the Spring and Autumn Period, Wang Yaochen's understanding of the Book of Poetry is not under the Classic, and Weng Dingfan, Tang Henian, Tao Dazhi, and Chen Jun are all very experienced in their own scriptures.

They took turns to give speeches on stage, with different content and different styles, but they were all warmly applauded.

Among them, Tao Dazhi's witty and down-to-earth explanations caused the scholars to laugh from time to time.

After the seriousness of the previous people, Tao Dazhi showed the friendly image of Jingxi Society, which undoubtedly greatly narrowed the distance between the scholars and Jingxi Society.

After all seven people finished speaking, the next time was for the audience to digest and absorb, and the scholars could discuss and learn from each other in the audience, or they could ask questions and be answered by the seven people of Jingxi Society.

The scholars surrounded the seven people and asked for answers to all kinds of strange questions, but fortunately, Wei Chen and the others were already talented and had real talents, but all the problems related to the imperial examination were easily dealt with.

For half a day, Wei Chen's seven were patiently and meticulously communicating with the scholars, and his voice was a little hoarse.

Wei Chen glanced at it a few times, and saw that all the scholars had a sense that it was worth the trip, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

In ancient times, the Great Confucians were keen to lecture and preach, and the scholars all heard the scenery, and the seven people of Weichen are now only lifting people, and they are far from reaching the level of the Great Confucian, and their own doctrines have not been completed, and the lectures are not realistic.

So Wei Chen made a compromise and turned Jingxi Society into a cram school for the imperial examination, step by step, down-to-earth, and slowly developed and expanded.

Today's social gathering, although there are not many people, this imperial examination cram school can be regarded as taking shape.

I don't know if the hundreds of people who left before will regret it after learning the effect of the Jingxi Society? Maybe the next time Jingxi Club opens a club fair, they will come back again.

However, Wei Chen didn't care whether the scholars came or went, even the seventy-eight people left in the field were not members of the Jingxi Society now, they were just observing and observing.

After the end of the club assembly in the afternoon, all the scholars felt that they were still unsatisfied, and they all posted to Wei Chen, the head of the club, hoping to join the Jingxi Society.

Wei Chen glanced at the list, and among the seventy-eight scholars attending the meeting, there were more than 20 people who wanted to join the Jingxi Society.

In fact, there were more people, but the minimum threshold for Jingxi Society to enter the club was also a student, and those scholars who did not have a reputation could only regret losing the election.

Among the twenty-six people who asked to join the society, there were eight lifters and eighteen students, and after the society was assembled, Wei Chen left them for a detailed discussion.

Wei Chen chooses people to join Jingxi Society, in addition to basic talents, he also needs to choose people with good character and similar values.

Character and values are not something that can be seen by chatting a few words, Weichen still needs to know more about these talents, and today is just a preliminary screening.

In the end, Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai, and Wang Yaochen discussed and selected two of them and five of them as reserve members, and then formally set the new members when the next club meeting was held.

……

Two days later.

In an alley in the east of Youyang City.

The sound of firecrackers crackled, and children gagged their ears excitedly and bounced around to avoid the red confetti flying around.

Zhang Ming rubbed his hands, raised his head with Wei Ruyi, who was smiling from ear to ear, and looked at a Nanmu plaque covered with red silk at the entrance of the alley.

As the red silk was slowly uncovered, the three big characters of "Xie Yuandi" were revealed on the Nanmu plaque.

Zhang Xu clapped his hands excitedly, his palms turned red, and the neighbors who were watching from all sides also cheered in unison.

Feng Jing, the magistrate of Youyang, smiled at Wei Chen: "Congratulations to Brother Xingyun, this nameless alley will be renamed Xie Yuandi in the future." ”

Install the latest version. 】

Wei Chen smiled and arched his hand: "I also want to thank the county for your kindness, the water and wine have been prepared at home, and the county is invited to appreciate the light." ”

Feng Zhixian pretended to be displeased and said: "What is the name of the county, there are many births, you and I are called brothers." ”

"Then ......, Brother Feng, please?"

"Good, good, good!"

A few steps into the alley, you can see the small courtyard where Wei Chen once lived, the door has already hung two big characters of "Wei Fu", and there is also a golden plaque of "Xie Yuan" in the courtyard.

Wei Chen invited Feng Zhixian into his home, Feng Zhixian entered the courtyard, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "At present, this house is still a little smaller, and it is not in line with the identity of Xie Yuanlang, if Brother Xingyun is interested, I have a three-entry house in the west of the city, which is quite open, so I will give it to Brother Xingyun." ”

Wei Chen politely refused: "Brother Feng's kindness, I have received it in my heart, but although this place is small, I am used to living in it, and the Gaomen compound is not comfortable." ”

Feng Zhixian continued to persuade: "After seeing a lot of talents, this official is buying slaves, repairing big houses, and taking concubines. Brother Xingyun is in the middle of the fourth yuan, it is the time when the young man is ambitious, why should he be so harsh on himself? ”

Wei Chen smiled and didn't answer.

The reason why he rejected Feng Zhixian was that he didn't want to owe him a favor, the debt was the most difficult to repay, and Wei Chen himself couldn't afford to buy a house, so why bother to owe such a favor?

And what he said before was also the truth, not long after he came to Da Zhou, he moved to this courtyard, and then he has been studying and living here, and he has already developed a deep affection and is unwilling to move away.

Feng Zhixian saw that Wei Chen really didn't want to change the house, so he skipped this topic, and instead talked about a tricky eucalyptus he encountered recently, and asked Wei Chen to serve as a staff officer for him.

Here, Feng Zhixian and Wei Chen were drinking tea and talking in the hall, and Wei Ruyi's family of three outside was not idle.

Zhang Xu hurriedly ran from the alley and shouted to Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi, who were entertaining guests: "Dad, mother, the lady of the Xu family on Dongmen Street is here." ”

"The one from the Xu family?" Zhang Ming scratched his head: "Why is she here?" ”

Wei Ruyi smiled: "Probably here to congratulate you, the person who came is a guest, please invite someone in." As he spoke, he beckoned Zhang Xu to invite someone.

Not long after, Zhang Xu led a middle-aged woman in, it was the lady of the Xu family, she smiled and congratulated as soon as she entered the door: "Congratulations to the two, congratulations to the two, your family has a happy event!" ”

Zhang Ming and Wei Ruyi glanced at each other and asked, "What kind of happy event?" ”

The lady of the Xu family laughed: "Thousands of miles of marriage are tied by a thread, and a good family has entrusted me to tell your brother Chen!" ”
