The carriage traveled for five days and arrived at Ocheon-gun.

The white bamboo forest is located in the north of Dachuan County, covering an area of 10,000 acres, it is the first of the scenery of Dachuan County, the reason why it is called the white bamboo forest is because every summer, the bamboo will bloom, 10,000 acres of bamboo forest blooms, the bamboo sea and the flower sea are nestled against each other, the wind and waves are together, the sea of flowers ripples, which is refreshing and pleasant.

There are two theories about the flowering of bamboo, one is that the flowering of bamboo is a bad omen, which means that the bamboo itself is weak and the land is barren, which will bring chaos sooner or later.

Another theory is that bamboo blooms and blooms, which has a beautiful meaning.

Folklore pays attention to one thing, adapts to local conditions, and each place, the meaning of bamboo flowering is different.

Some people say that bamboo is one of the four gentlemen, and the high wind and bright festival are thrown into the fire, and they will not lose their knots.

Some people also say that bamboo seems to be high-spirited, but in fact it is empty inside, no different from those hypocrites who are full of benevolence and morality.

However, around the white bamboo forest, there are many schools, private schools, and the literary style is beautiful, and almost all the scholars in Okawa County are from the vicinity of the white bamboo forest.

Because it is a place where scholars gather, the surrounding land prices have risen and the industry is rich, so that many old households here occupy a unique advantage, and they have unexpectedly embarked on a broad road in trade and business.

In recent days, because of the bamboo forest meeting, there is a continuous flow of people around the white bamboo forest, and there are many open-air vendors and open-air restaurants along the street.

The Bamboo Forest Meeting is not only a literary event in Dachuan County, but also a literary event in Daqin, where scholars from all over the world will go to the Bamboo Forest Meeting to see if they can become famous in the matter of literary talent.

It is reported that this year's meeting in the bamboo forest was presided over by Qi Feng, the only son of Qi Xiu, the prime minister of Great Qin.

Prime Minister Qi Xiu, already old, is still a pillar of the south gate on the temple of Daqin, his son Qi Feng, since childhood is agile and quick-witted, aura is penetrating, five years old poetry, seven years old writing, twelve years old proficient in the annals of history, is the son of tomorrow in the officialdom of Daqin and the dazzling of the Daqin literary world.

Therefore, this year, there are also many female students who are usually tall and arrogant, who come to participate in the Bamboo Forest Meeting with great fanfare, whether they can become famous in the Bamboo Forest Meeting, these female students don't care, mainly to see Qi Feng's true face.

If you are not careful, you are taken by the prime minister's only son, and some things happen, it is the icing on the cake.

A carriage, all the way to the north, estimated that it would take half a day to reach the white bamboo forest.

These five days are enough for Xu Yuan to know the size of this bamboo forest meeting, and even Qi Feng came in person, it seems that there are also some factional disputes in the temple.

Recruit students to enter the career, if some students are really smooth sailing in the career, they will deeply remember the kindness of the Qi family.

Chu Nan asked curiously for a while: "Then Qi Feng, really learned to be rich and talented, and he is only in his twenties, so he can preside over the Bamboo Forest Meeting?" ”

Xu Yuan said truthfully: "In terms of talent alone, Qi Feng is known as a virtuous person in the territory of Great Qin, although he has not officially entered the office, but he has been simplified in the emperor's heart, who makes His Majesty have a bit of literati style today." ”

"I'm just a little surprised, people like Qi Feng came to Dachuan County, and they were a little overkill."

"If it is on the outskirts of the palace, it is reasonable to hold a grand event and let Qi Feng preside over the overall situation."

Chu Nan was puzzled: "Why? Isn't it just a literary event? ”

Xu Yuan poured a cup of tea for Chu Nan and patiently explained: "It is said that it is a literary event, but in fact it is similar to a small imperial examination. ”

"The selection of officials either starts with the prestigious Yuedan Evaluation, and those who can be included in the Yuedan Evaluation, poor students and well-dressed scholars coexist, but they all have to conceal their identities in advance, so as to make the election fair."

"Between Your Majesty and the family, there can also be a soft step down."

"In addition to the Yuedan review, it is to search for those young men who have both ability and political integrity, are handsome, and have a good reputation in one city and one place."

"Most of these people are from filial piety."

"In the end, it is something like the Bamboo Forest Society."

"This kind of literati gathering is also mixed, but some people do have real talents and real learning, but most of them are from humble backgrounds and have a tendency to be highly talented and heterogeneous."

"The temple does send people to such a literati gathering to choose the best, but most of the people sent are some old men who have no real power and are poor, and Qi Feng's identity is too expensive."

"Even if the Bamboo Forest Society is prestigious for a long time, it will not be the only son of the prime minister who will appear in person."

"I dare to assert that in the Great Qin Temple, the factional dispute is becoming more and more severe, and its Qi Feng is the dazzling son of tomorrow, and he deigned to come to Dachuan County, and he must have come with His Majesty's trust."

Chu Nan roughly understood that the Yuedan review was no longer clean, and as for those young people who had both ability and political integrity and had a good reputation, most of them were also from local wealthy families, which made the king of a country very unhappy.

Only a literary event similar to the Bamboo Forest Meeting, the foundation is still clean, and His Majesty can let Qi Feng monopolize the power.

It seems that the drawbacks of bad luck are gradually being revealed.

Chu Nan said: "Since it is Qi Feng who presides, then it is difficult for us to enter the white bamboo forest, so we might as well take a detour and go directly to the Yellow River Valley." ”

When it comes to some things in the temples of other countries, Chu Nan doesn't want to join in this excitement and this leisure.

Xu Yuan didn't understand his meaning for a while, and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, my Qingyin Gate is in the territory of Daqin, and it is also a behemoth, when the time comes, I will show my identity, I and my son, can be located in a private room in the bamboo forest, and then the son can have a close look at this bamboo forest meeting." ”

"If the son has a leisure and elegance for a while, he can use the pseudonym so-and-so, write a policy, and hand it over to Qi Feng, as for whether he can get a ranking, it's hard to say, after all, the vision of literati and literati is not the same."

Chu Nan was stunned, this is an interesting method.

Xu Yuan added: "If the prince accidentally wins the ranking, he is expected to enter the Great Qin career, and I will also say hello to Qi Feng, and this matter can be postponed so that it will not be resolved." ”

Chu Nan smiled awkwardly and said: "Such a serious matter, but I came to such a hand, it doesn't seem very authentic, but there is a poetry club?" When the time comes, I'll write a few poems and participate in it once. ”

Xu Yuan fell into contemplation for a while, and said: "It's hard to say, since Qi Feng is here, it must be based on the classics and annals, and it is difficult for poetry and songs to get into the hall of elegance, so they can only be retired, not practical." ”

Chu Nan came back to his senses, and it was a coincidence that he came to join in the fun, and the original small bustle turned into a big bustle.

I also knew in my heart that with the ink in my stomach, it was impossible to become famous in the Bamboo Forest Society.

Literati Yaxing, and Wen Taowu are two unrelated things.

Chu Nan said: "Then forget it, I'm just here to see the excitement, then again, I'm a person from Xizhou, and I come to Daqin to join in such a lively, it already looks ugly." ”

"I don't want to go."

Xu Yuan didn't know why Chu Nan was interested in literati affairs, but as a guide, he naturally had to arrange everything for Chu Nan, and said: "Childe rest assured, Daqin has also sent a lot of meticulous spies to Xizhou, no one can say anything about this matter, besides, Gongzi is here just for the word learning, and not to participate in Daqin's internal affairs." ”

Hearing Xu Yuan say this, Chu Nan's heart also opened up a lot.

Unconsciously, the carriage approached the white bamboo forest, and outside the white bamboo forest, at least hundreds of carriages stopped in order.

Chu Nan glanced at it and knew that there were not a few well-dressed scholars who participated in the Bamboo Forest Meeting this year.

Xu Yuandao: "Don't be too careful, in fact, there are many people, who are also female students, who come to sell their fame and reputation. ”

"Let's see, it's not so much a literary event as an interesting event."

Some people died, but not completely......
