This proclamation is thousands of words, but it follows the path of Tongcheng's ancient texts. Although there are many scholars in the world, there are many nerds who study the eight stocks, but Fang Bao and Yao Nai, these ancient literary masters are all figures who have been in the literary world for a while, and there are always a few discerning people who can see the context.

This article is arranged in a row, first the righteousness, then the evidence, the emphasis on words and chapters, and the emphasis is on the "smell of theology, rhythm and color". Such a wonderful penmanship, ordinary talent can not be learned, the person who holds the pen may be now living in seclusion in Jiangning Zhongshan Academy, the righteous Mr. Yao Nai, Yao Menggu's nephew and nephew.

Speaking of which, during the period of the former Qing Dynasty, the former Ming Dynasty was not obliged, but there were a lot of sons and nephews who earned the top flowers!

The former Qing Xiucai in Guangzhou City was even more provoked by this paper proclamation, like ants before a thunderstorm, busily moving.

Shuzhu City on the south bank of the Pearl River has always been a prosperous place in Guangdong, the so-called "three cities of Guangzhou, only let Shuzhu", although it is known as the "city", but many of them are the halls and mansions of the thirteen lines of Guangzhou.

Next to the Haizhuang Temple and the side of the Shuzhu Bridge, which is known as the "first jungle of Zen Gate in Guangdong Province", there is a small garden called Chengzhu Pavilion. The Chengzhu Pavilion does not occupy too much area, and the owner of the garden, Wu Guoying, is only a backward figure in the Guangzhou Foreign Bank.

When Wu Guoying was young, he originally followed his family's plan to let him study for exams and come back with a reputation like Huaishang and Huishang. How could this old man Wu not be very talented in reading, but he was born a business wizard. He first worked as a bookkeeper in the Pan family, the head of the Thirteen Lines, and after he practiced it, he gradually expanded his own Jardine House to the point where it is today, and had a place in the Thirteen Lines of Guangdong.

To be able to gain a firm foothold in the thirteen lines of Guangdong, in other words, is rich and rivals the country. From the end of Qianlong to the beginning of Daoguang alone, there were more than 5 million taels of silver in the 13 lines of Guangzhou to "serve" the imperial court, and the number of cases of silver in the officialdom of Guangdong was several times more.

Well, it's still a little worse than the "first greed of the Qing Dynasty" and Lord Shenhe......

On weekdays, Wu Guoying uses the Chengzhu Pavilion to entertain guests, and on pomp and circumstance, it is not as good as Yangzhou salt merchants, and on the exquisiteness of the forest gully, it is not the opponent of Suzhou Famous Garden. But I can't bear the Wu family's good friendship with scholars, and this Chengzhu Pavilion is also a "full house of friends" - oh, it's true that the house is full, and the word "high friends" has to be considered.

Although the Wu family donated a top of the platform, but this kind of "copper stinky platform" is not born on the right path of the imperial examination after all, and people will respect their own identities, and they will never run to the Chengzhu Pavilion with shame. It's a bunch of talents, and if they have nothing to do, they have to do a literary meeting in Chengzhu Hall and make friends.

Wu Bingjian, the fifth son of the Wu family, is also a seed of reading, Wu Guoying has now retired from his business status and let his eldest son go up, and the fifth son plans to let him study and improve, and come back to support the family business with a fame. It's just that Wu Bingjian hasn't been admitted to the show, and the Qing Dynasty has slipped through the eaves first, what is the situation of the imperial examination in the new dynasty, even a wealthy businessman like the Wu family can't make up his mind.

The five princes' literary meetings were held one after another, eating and drinking a lot, and the unsubstantiated gossip was flying all over the sky. Later, it became a major literary event in Guangzhou Mansion, and the old talents who had tried and failed, and the little celebrities who had rubbed their feet in the field made up for the Chengzhu Pavilion one by one. whining and saying strange things, anyway, the Wu family is rich, and there is no shortage of money for these refreshments, drinks and meals!

On this day, the Chengzhu Pavilion was still crowded with all kinds of shows.

The wealthier ones all changed into the scarf robes of the former Ming Xiucai, and they were also straight necks. fluttering and sprinkling, some people nodded and praised: "This Han family's clothes are really better than the previous dynasty's Hu clothes." ”

When Qianlong was in power, these words alone cut off the heads of many old showmen, and only at this time did these showmen dare to kill the tiger and talk about it.

Those from poorer families can't afford to tear cloth to make new clothes, so they can only wear green cloth coats, although they also have hair on their heads and wear scarves, but these two dresses up and down are very strange.

The atmosphere in Guangzhou is open, and the people of Canton are also open-mouthed, so they have a nickname for being poor. It is said that today's Yangzhou salt merchants are favored, no longer raising small feet and thin horses, but love the women of the sky, known as the "big foot fairy", also known as the "two beauties", the poor Xiucai of Guangfu is the head of the scarf, and the coat is a "two talents".

There are also some talents on this literary meeting, and they want to come out with a future. At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, after the imperial examination of the Southern Han Dynasty, the Jinshi were first sent to the palace to be castrated into eunuchs.

For a time, there were those who claimed to be Taoists and wanted to be Taoist officials without permission, and there were those who knocked on the sedan chair and offered advice to compare themselves to the dragon and phoenix. Even on Wu Bingjian's literary meeting, there are many Xiucai Gong wearing a nine-beam scarf and a gossip robe.

For a while, I saw the Taoist robes and long robes advancing and retreating, and the cranes and hexagrams sat and discussed, and in the midst of the chaos, I heard that there were people: "The dynasty does not need to make art, and this proclamation of Guangfu has made the truth very clear." The imperial examination of scholars, all dynasties have their own system, the Tang people are rich in poetry, the Song people are still strategic, the former Ming Dynasty uses eight shares, the Qing room enters the customs, and the Ming system is just followed, but it cannot be changed. What's more, the eight-strand article is useless in words after all, how can it be a scholar for the country?

As he spoke, Xiucai, who was wearing a square scarf, took an ebony chopstick, knocked on the wine glass and sang: "Scholars, the most bad, rotten Shiwen, rotten as mud." The country was originally a plan to seek talents, but who knew that it had become a deceptive plan. Three sentences to inherit the topic, two sentences to break the topic, swing the tail and shake the head, and the road is the Holy Gate. It can be known what kind of writing "Three Links" and "Four History" are, and which emperors of Hanzu and Tangzong were. Put a sermon on the desk, and buy a new sharp weapon in the store. I can read the height of my shoulders, the corners of my mouth sigh, and what does it taste like to chew and chew bagasse? Let him deceive high-ranking officials, and it is also the bad luck of the people's court!"

After he sang here, someone stood up and waved his hand and said: "Although there are many disadvantages to this day, the Eight Shares of the Scholars have always followed the teachings of the ancestors, from the Four Books and Five Classics, inheriting the Taoist system of the Holy Sect, and setting off for Zhu Yuanliu, which is a big festival, and it has never been wrong." However, the two saints of this dynasty, who hold the great treasure with a plume, want to degrade Confucius and Mencius and praise Lao Zhuang, abandon the learning of Cheng, Zhu, Lu, and Wang and promote the art of Yang, Mo, Shen, and Han. For example, the source of the poor river, the sons of Lao Zhuang, Yang Mo, and Shen Han are all tributaries, and they have to be biased when they see things, and only the learning of Confucius and Mencius is the way of heaven and earth since the Fuxi clan. The king has deviated from the right path and likes heretical learning, and my generation of Confucian disciples should knock on the que, how can there be a reason for sycophants to follow and help the king?"
