Speaking of the location of the Fengqiao, it was built on a tributary that leads from the Grand Canal to Suzhou City.

If you take a boat from south to north through the Fengqiao Bridge Cave, you will enter the Grand Canal, marking the official departure from the city of Greater Suzhou.

Today's Fengqiao scene is very different from the sparse outline when Zhang Ji wrote "Fengqiao Night Park".

Fengqiao Town is one of the largest towns and commercial centers outside the city, and probably the largest rice market in the whole of Jiangnan.

If you block out the poetic filter brought by "Maple Bridge Night Park", you will only think that this is a messy market full of people and vendors.

Not to mention that there is Hanshan Temple next to it, is the ancient temple not doing business?

Perhaps this is a symbol that shows that culture is popularized from the elegant to the vulgar.

Qi Shaobao has always traveled in Suzhou, so Wang Laomeng is also sent in civilian clothes.

In addition, there are a number of celebrities together, still Wang Daoguan, Wang Zhideng, Wen Zhengming's grandson and great-grandson, and Feng Zhixian of Wu County also came with him by the way.

But Wang Lao's alliance leader didn't call Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Youyu this time, obviously he had an opinion.

The send-off banquet was set up directly on a building boat, and the building boat drove all the way to the vicinity of Fengqiao.

In this way, you can successfully avoid the laymen who buy and sell rice, and the noise of the market, and you can see the famous cultural attraction Fengqiao.

It's afternoon now, because Fengqiao's poetry is famous from the night, so the leader of the Wang Lao League insists on seeing him off in the afternoon.

Then you can eat and drink until the evening, just in time to publish poems in the night.

At this time, the drizzle began to fall again, and it was too poetic to step on the horse, just like the rain on the day of the Qiuzhiyuan Elegant Collection.

Wang Laomeng held the carved railing of the boat in his hand, looked at the Fengqiao in the spring rain, and said with emotion to Qi Shaobao:

"Jingshi has been summoning me, and I wanted to accompany you to the north.

I don't want to be jealous of those in power in the near future, so in order to avoid incidents, I have to continue to live in Jiangnan. ”

Qi Shaobao was confused, what kind of demon are you doing?

The rest of the people were also puzzled, if I remember correctly, the last person in power who killed your old Wang family was still the father and son of the historical-level traitor Yan Song, right?

Who wants to the old man again? Aren't you afraid of being knocked to the ground by you?

Wang Lao Alliance Leader didn't let everyone guess, and directly showed the answer: "Nashen Mansion has been targeting me recently, and I can't help but make people think deeply and be frightened. ”

Everyone was even more speechless, and the whole of Suzhou knew that the person who had been talking about the old alliance leader was Lin Tailai.

And your old alliance leader has also been qualified, this thief is the enemy of the literary world.

At this time, you say a low-key Shen Mansion that can't be more low-key, what do you mean?

But I heard the leader of the old alliance sigh and said: "Now that I have discovered it, the Shen Mansion is the black backstage of the forest thieves."

I really didn't expect that I was already sixty years old, and I would have to be secretly attacked by a child like Shen Yongjia.

Even I was careless and didn't dodge. ”

Qi Shaobao: "."

So he didn't want to play with the literati, he was too tired, so it was pure and simple to teach people marksmanship.

No, the person who learns marksmanship has a lot of eyes.

Wang Lao League leader suddenly turned his head and said to Wen Zhengming's grandson Wen Yuanfa: "Ziqi, how about going to Shenfu Xiao'er for me?"

Let's just say that I'm in my last years and can't stand the wind and waves, so it's okay for him to spare me? ”

The old alliance leaders have talked to this point, what else can Wen Yuanfa do?

He could only hurriedly reply: "Brother Fengzhou, where is this, I'll go to the Shen Mansion to make peace." ”

The Shen family has always been a small gateway, and they don't have much friendship with the local literary and artistic families in Suzhou, and Shen Shi has been in Beijing since he became the champion, and he has no time to go back to Suzhou to have a relationship.

Therefore, there are not many people from local cultural families who can really talk to the Shen Mansion and are qualified to make peace.

One is the Huqiu Xu family, and the other is Wen Yuanfa of the Wen family.

Wen Yuanfa's brothers, the grandsons of Wen Zhengming, successfully inherited the Wen family's excellent imperial examination genes.

Elder brother Wen Zhaozhi failed the township test ten times, and he lost one more time than his grandfather Wen Zhengming.

And his younger brother Wen Yuanfa also stopped showing off his talents all his life, and he didn't dare to take the exam in middle age, so he went to Guozijian as a tribute student.

The father of the two of them, Wen Peng, is also said to have failed the township test ten times.

From Wen Zhengming to the present, there are six people in three generations of the Wen family, and the per capita calligraphy and painting celebrities, plus the old disciples, known as half of the Suzhou literary and artistic circle during the Jiawan period.

However, the total number of times the three generations of six scholars of the Wen family failed the list in the township test, the most conservative estimate is more than 40 times

Then at this time, Shen Shixing made a fortune, and in order to get married to half of the literary circle of his fellow villagers, he helped Wen Yuanfa find an official position as the magistrate of Zhejiang County eight years ago.

Then in just five years, Wen Yuanfa, a person who was born as a prisoner, was promoted from Qipinzhi County to Wupintongzhi in one go.

But Wen Yuanfa is not thick-skinned enough, and he is really embarrassed to be an official like this.

As a result, he didn't go to work three years ago, and went home to replace his brother as the head of the Wen family, and by the way, he concentrated on cultivating the next generation.

Therefore, with these origins and friendships, Wen Yuanfa can talk to the Shen Mansion, and the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance can only ask Wen Yuanfa to find the second son of Shen.

But although Wen Yuanfa agreed verbally, he was actually quite speechless in his heart.

Isn't it that he looks at Bian Shen Yongjia, but Shen Er's "strategy" level that went to Zhejiang to impostor township to try and was debunked, can he manipulate Professor Lin, who is commented on as the cloth of governing the world and the operation of troubled times?

However, Wen Yuanfa, who also inherited Wen Zhengming's excellent genes in social interaction, still saw through it.

In the seat, twelve-year-old Xiao Wen Zhenmeng said to his father Wen Yuanfa: "This Wang senior is a little hypocritical, father, you are still so aggrieved to help him." ”

Wen Yuanfa whispered, "Shut up!" It's not all about paving the way for your future!

It's been too relaxing for you these days, go back and review the latest Baguwen handouts three times!

Since Hengshan's grandfather, the shame of failing the township test for the three generations of our Wen family has relied on you, the fourth generation, to be ashamed! ”

Wang Zhideng, a closed disciple of Wen Zhengming who was sitting next to him, sighed sympathetically at Xiao Wen Zhenmeng after hearing Wen Yuanfa's words.

It can only be said that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is still as easy as him.

Change the track, completely abandon the officialdom of the imperial examination, and take the route of Buyi Shanren.

The leader of the old alliance beckoned everyone to take a seat on the deck, and said again: "Okay, don't talk about those miscellaneous things, after all, today is all for Qi Shaobao's send-off." ”

Since it is a send-off, it must be to write a poem, Wang Zhideng, as a local literary leader in Suzhou, took the lead in coming to a poem:

"The west side of the ancient temple road, the green mountains are full of candles outside the door, and the dust is dark and the river maple is dark."

Then Wen Yuanfa said humbly: "The ancestor once wrote a poem for Fengqiao, I won't be ugly, today I only revisit the old work of the ancestor."

Jin Chang came to the west to bring the cold Zhu, and the Danfeng fell into smoke and rain. The desolate ancient temple is smoky, is there any of Zhang Ji's poems today? ”

After everyone finished writing the poem, it was the turn of the leader of the Wang Lao League to press the formation.

I saw that the old league leader looked at the sun slanting to the west, put on a posture with a blurred eye, and said very skillfully: "Fengqiao twilight hidden building boat, Wencai is full of this feast"

Suddenly, someone on the shore shouted: "Wait for these jumping beams against the party, dare to bark here!" ”

The sound was indeed very loud, like spring thunder, and it could be heard clearly on the deck of the ship.

But this voice is even more familiar, and there is also a kind of magic power, which makes Wang Laomeng's blood pressure soar automatically, and his originally very skillful poetry skills are actually interrupted.

It must be an illusion, and they were all sent to Fengqiao Town on horseback, why can you still hear that evil voice scolding the street!
