Not long after Jiang Han returned to Ningguo's Mansion, Zhongli Wuwu also woke up.

After washing, he boiled a pot of tea in the courtyard.

Si Jian stood beside Zhongli Wuwu, holding the blue wave sword in his arms.

Zhongli Wuwu first poured himself a cup of tea leisurely, and then called Si Jian to sit down and drink tea together.

Si Jian frowned, and said coldly: "The teacher wants to make tea when he wakes up, do you like to drink tea so much?" ”

Zhongli smiled and said, "I drank a little too much wine last night, and I just need to drink some tea to relieve my hangover." ”

Si Jian said: "Who made the teacher drink so much wine." ”

Zhongli didn't argue with her, and smiled, "What do you think of that kid?" ”

Si Jian asked, "Jiang Han?" ”

Zhongli nodded without waiting for her to answer, and said, "Earlier, I thought that he was only good at poetry, but I didn't want his talent for learning swords to be so high!" My original swordsmanship, he learned it just by looking at it once...... I really didn't expect that there would be such a peerless genius in this Cloud Dream City. ”

Si Jian nodded rarely, and said in a cold voice: "That's why the teacher asked me to teach him swordsmanship?" ”

"This person is enough to enter and leave Mingji!" Zhongli was silent for a moment, and then gave a very high evaluation: "Tianzi, there is a seat for him!" ”

Si Jian was slightly startled, doesn't this mean that this kid's martial arts will not be lower than his own in the future? Because he is the word of heaven in the Ming Division.

But Si Jian's expression was still cold and quiet: "In that case, why didn't the teacher invite him into the Liming Division last night?" ”

Zhongli Wuwu picked up the teacup, blew on the side of his mouth, and said: "First, I have to observe this person's temperament again to see his performance after he goes back, and second, I am also thinking about whether if this person is allowed to enter the Liming Division and let him enter the deceitful world, will there be one less poet and one less lyricist in Dayu's literary world." ”

Zhongli drank all the tea in the teacup and said slowly: "But this kid is extremely smart, and my first consideration is not a problem. ”

Si Jian frowned slightly, puzzled and asked, "Why does the teacher say that he is an extremely smart person?" ”

Zhongli said without worry: "You brought him here last night, but he never asked why you appeared at the scene, why he rescued him in time, it's not that he didn't know that you were following him, but he knew, but he deliberately didn't expose it!" This son is a smart man! ”

"Now I'm going to see what he's going to do."

……

Kyoto, the entrance of Seiakido.

Hong Yuan, who was dressed in black and had a thin face, turned over and dismounted, and entered the Qingqiu Hall in a hurry.

As one of the three major bookstores in Dayu, Seiyudo has branches in all prefectures of Dayu, but Seiyudo in Kyoto is undoubtedly the largest.

He walked through the nine-song corridor, rockery and flowing water, all the way to a meeting hall in Qingqiu Hall.

After acquiring the right to sell the book of "The Biography of Wu Song", he returned to Kyoto in a hurry.

In addition to dealing with the matter of "The Biography of Wu Song", it is also because Qingqiu Hall will hold a meeting every three months, and each incense master has to go to Beijing to report the latest situation.

After entering the main hall, Hong Yuan soon met several familiar incense masters, who were either his senior brothers and brothers, or famous Confucian heroes.

"Hong Yuan, how was your trip to Yunmeng with the teacher this time?" A middle-aged Confucian student greeted him.

Hong Yuan said: "It's okay, it's a lot of harvest." ”

After the greetings, the seven incense owners who arrived sat down one after another, and each of them had a large mahogany table in front of them.

There was a mountain of books and paperwork on the long table.

One of the oldest and most respected old men spoke: "Recently, although Qingqiutang has published ten books in a row, but the sales are not as good as before, on the other hand, Yuting Book Store has published three books one after another, one is a Confucian classic annotated by Confucianism, one is a collection of poems, and a popular novel, once it is on sale, it will be sold out. ”

A noble boy said: "That Confucian classic is personally annotated by today's great Confucian He Yunsheng, which is of great help to the Confucian imperial examination, and the poetry collection also collects the fine poems produced by the Dayu states in the past two years, among which there is also a poem "Sauvignon Blanc" recorded in the "Dayu Anthology", its quality is needless to say, as for the popular reading is also a fine product. On the other hand, although the reading materials we have published this year are not bad, they are very different from each other. ”

Listening to the words of the noble son, the faces of several incense masters were not very good-looking.

A man in a brown shirt with a somewhat gloomy appearance snorted coldly: "Forget about the rest!" Even popular books are not as good as others, what a shame to throw home! Our Qingqiutang was originally sold by popular books, and it was a shame to lose on popular books. ”

After a few words of complaining, the old man said: "After all, there are too few novelists today, and I heard that Yuting Book Store has invited a few novelists, and it is okay to beat others for the time being...... The focus of Confucianism is on articles, followed by poetry. In the article part, we also have great Confucianism, and we are looking for a classic to annotate, and as for the poems, we ...... together."

A young woman dressed in red and dressed as a noble lady spoke: "It takes spiritual light to write poems and lyrics, and if you want to surpass Yuting Books in a collection of poems, unless you can find a stunning poem...... It's a pity that I haven't read any good poems for a long time, and the most recent one is "Sauvignon Blanc" included in Yuting Books. ”

Her voice is crisp and numb, and she is also the only female incense master in Qingqiu Hall.

"By the way, Hong Yuan, didn't you go to Yunmeng with the teacher? I heard that Yunmeng has four talents, and his poetry is very good, but what do you gain? ”

Hong Yuan's identity is lower than that of other incense masters, and he has not spoken, but when he heard the noble lady ask, he was full of interest: "Wanhua incense master, this trip to Yunmeng, I have gained a few poems, two of which can be called excellent works!" It will definitely make us better than the Jade Court Book Store in the collection! On top of that, I also got a popular read, which was even more wonderful! ”

As soon as they heard Hong Yuan say this, several incense owners became interested.

"Oh, the best? Hong Yuan, don't coax me! "Lady Wanhua said.

"Lord Wanhua Xiang doesn't believe it to show you." Hong Yuan immediately took out two pieces of paper from his arms and threw them gently.

The two pieces of paper were clearly light and thin, but under Hong Yuan's throw, they flew lightly in front of the noble lady and landed on the table.

Wanhua picked it up and looked at it, and her eyes froze on the paper.

"Good words, good words...... There are double flyers in the south and the north, and the old wings have been cold and hot several times. ”

Then she looked at another poem, and her face suddenly showed amazement, and she said, "Who wrote this poem?" It's enough to be included in the "Dayu Anthology"! ”

The other incense owners were greatly surprised, and took the paper and read it carefully, and then they all looked amazed.

"Good! This poem is full of plum gestures, this word is full of love, these two poems are excellent works, Hong Yuan, who made it? The old man stared at Hong Yuan and said excitedly.

Wanhua also asked: "But the four talents of Yunmeng did it?" ”

Hong Yuan shook his head and said slowly: "No! It was made by Jiang Han, a native of Yunmengcheng, and this son is an uneducated Confucian student! ”

As soon as they heard this, the people present instantly exploded.

"Jiang Han? Who's that? ”

"What? It was done by one man? ”

"Hong Yuan, you're not joking with my mother! Someone who can write these two poems will not even have a literary position? ”

Hong Yuan smiled bitterly: "That's true, Lord Wanhua Xiang, can I still lie to you?" ”

"No matter who it is, this son is definitely talented!" The old man nodded, and asked again, "Hong Yuan, was this son accepted by Gu Daru?" Did you bring it back to Kyoto? ”

As soon as they heard this, other people also became interested, such a talented person should have become their junior brother.

Hong Yuan's spirit instantly rose, and his eyebrows danced and said, "You incense masters don't know anything!" This son was originally an unknown person, but because of his poems, Zhongli Wuwu Zhongli Daru took a fancy to Zhongli Daru, when Zhongli Daru originally wanted the teacher to accept this disciple, but the result? As soon as the teacher heard that this person was still a son-in-law, he felt that the son-in-law was not good, so he refused on the spot! ”

"Alas! The teacher has eyes but no ...... I don't know Jingshan jade with eyes! Zhongli Daru repeatedly asked if he wanted to, but the teacher refused vigorously, and as a result, this son became Zhongli Daru's person, but it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Everyone in the room was silent.

"The teacher is too ......"

"How could such a talented person refuse?"

"Alas! The teacher is out of sight! ”

The old man said: "Maybe Gu Daru has his own considerations, don't blame Gu Daru!" ”

Hong Yuan talked about Xing Zhengnong, and sighed: "Alas, Lord Yu Hongxiang, you don't know, that plum blossom poem, Jiang Han named it "Gift to Zhongli Worry-free Adult", what a smart person!" If we become our junior brother, one day the interest comes, and compose a poem "Gift to My Senior Brother", "Feeling the Virtue of My Senior Sister and Composing Poems", so that we can become famous for future generations, how good it would be! ”

Lord of Incense: ???!!

"The teacher has no eyes!"

"Such a good junior brother, how can he refuse!"

"Angry, really angry!"

The old man Yu Hong saw that everyone had the urge to sharpen their knives and Huo Huo to the Great Confucian, so he hurriedly diverted the conversation, coughed lightly, and said, "Hong Yuan, didn't you say that there is still a popular novel?" Check it out! ”

Hong Yuan said: "Yu Hongxiang, look! He handed over the original manuscript of "The Biography of Wu Song" with both hands.

Yu Hong flipped through it, and the more he looked at it, the more exciting his face became: "Good book!" Great book! ”

The others were also surprised, and after the circulation, they were all full of amazement and praise.

"This book is really written so coolly!"

"This chivalrous novel is bound to be better than the popular book of the Jade Court Book Store!"

"I've never read a novel so sharp!"

"Hong Yuan, who wrote this book?" Wan Hua asked hurriedly.

"Senior Sister Wanhua, this book is written by Jiang Han."

Hong Yuan paused, and then added: "It's the Jiang Han who almost became our junior brother. ”

Everyone: "......"
