rebirth first official

Gao Zhanming went out for a day and returned to Hongmeiyuan. When he was about to enter the house, he met Gao Tianwen who had just returned from outside.

Gao Zhanming greeted Gao Tianwen, and Gao Tianwen said, "You went out this morning, right?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Yes."

Gao Tianwen said: "Gao Liang came to look for you at noon. I ran into him when I was going to the restaurant for lunch. I told him you went out early in the morning, and he said he was waiting in your room You, I said you would not come back for a while, but he insisted on waiting. He just came out of your room when I came back from lunch."

Gao Zhanming wondered, "Really."

Ever since Li Wan allowed Gao Liang and him to go to the study together to read books after school, Gao Liang's attitude towards him suddenly changed from the underground to the sky. It used to be that Gao Liang often followed the group of children to ridicule him. Yes, but now they call him "Brother Jun Liang" affectionately, as if Gao Zhanming is his own brother.Gao Zhanming didn't take him too seriously, after all, there are too many people in this world who are going smoothly, and someone came to curry favor with him, which just shows that his efforts a while ago have paid off.

Gao Zhanming said: "Professor Li asked me to study with him, and he probably asked me if there was anything he didn't understand."

Gao Tianwen said: "Recently, he often comes to Hongmeiyuan to look for you. In this month, I bumped into him five or six times. When did your relationship with Gao Liang become so good? I remember when you two Not much to deal with."

It is true that Gao Liang often comes to Hongmeiyuan uninvited lately. Sometimes when he is around, Gao Liang asks him for some obscure allusions, but most of the time, Gao Liang comes when he is not around. , maybe as soon as he returned to the room, Gao Liang had been waiting for him here for half an hour.At the beginning Gao Zhanming was a little confused, but after a few times he understood in his heart - Hongmeiyuan is the place where the direct descendants of the Gao family live, Gao Liang is a branch of the Gao family, and his father and brother are not high-ranking officials, and they are all in his residence. A collateral child of low birth, so he sharpened his head and wanted to join the direct descendants, and deliberately picked him to come to him when he was not around again and again, probably as an excuse to get close to Gao Hua, Gao Gao Tianwen and others.

Gao Zhanming said with a smile: "I also find it strange, maybe he deliberately let Brother Ziyi bump into him.'

Gao Tianwen was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant, shook his head with a smile and went back.

Gao Zhanming entered the room, sat down and thought about the current situation in the court, and suddenly there was a flourish of literature, so he began to write.He has written many articles in Zongxue for more than two months.His experience is deeper than these dandies. He lived to be more than [-] years old in his previous life, and got two identities. He can see the situation of the world from different angles, so his articles are well written.Whenever he felt something while reading, or experienced something that touched him, he would write articles about economy, legal system, Confucianism and Taoism.He didn't show these articles for others to read, and he was constantly revising them if there were deficiencies. He wanted to save them into a collection of essays and then give them to Li Wan, Su Yu and others for advice.

After Gao Zhanming finished writing an article, he began to look for his previous manuscripts and prepared to put them together.

He always put his manuscripts and his favorite classics in the bottom drawer of the desk, but this time when he opened the drawer, he only found the classics, and his own manuscripts were gone!

Gao Zhanming was shocked, and searched around, but he searched the drawers and bookcases, but he couldn't find those volumes of manuscripts!

Gao Zhanming was so anxious that he almost poured out all the things in the drawer, and the room was also messed up by him, but no matter how hard he searched, there was no trace of those volumes of manuscripts.He suspected that Yin He had put the manuscript elsewhere when he was tidying up things for him, but Yin He was sent back to the house by him to pack and change clothes, and he would not be able to come back until later, so he could not find anyone to ask, so he had to stand alone In a hurry.

Seeing that it was getting late and it was time for him to go to Li Wan's place to study, he had no choice but to calm down and go out with a lantern.

When Gao Zhanming arrived at Li Wan's study, Gao Liang was already there.

As soon as Gao Liang saw Gao Zhanming coming in, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Brother Jun Liang, I haven't seen you for two days. I don't know where you have been these few days?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Recently, many relatives and friends have come to Beijing, and there are constant entertainments, so they haven't come to study for the past two days."

Gao Liang smiled and said: "Yes, I have also participated in many banquets these days, and met many elders of the clan and officials in the court. Although the entertainment is troublesome, I can meet many knowledgeable people. They ask for advice, but they also increase their knowledge."

Gao Zhanming was still thinking about his manuscript, and had no intention of striking up a conversation with him, so after a few perfunctory words, he returned to his seat, found a book and spread it out, although he couldn't read it, he flipped through it unintentionally.

After a while, Li Wan came.

As soon as Li Wan entered the room, Gao Zhanming and Gao Liang hurriedly saluted Li Wan.Li Wan asked them, "How's your reading going?"

The two reported their recent achievements one after another.

Li Wan nodded in satisfaction, and praised Gao Liang: "I read the few articles you gave me a few days ago, they are very good, the progress is beyond my expectation, I didn't expect you to have With such progress, you can see from the article that your vision of the overall situation has improved, and you are indeed like everyone. If you hide your name and surname, and say that it was written by a Hanlin scholar, I may not be suspicious. It seems that I underestimated it in the past. I miss you. You are a talent!" He asked Gao Zhanming again, "Recently, you have been studying together, but you gave Zhongguang some advice? I think his allusions and layout are a bit like yours."

Gao Zhanming was taken aback.Although he was studying with Gao Liang, Gao Liang also asked him for some allusions, and he explained some of them, but he really didn't have any advice, and he had never read a single article written by Gao Liang.

Gao Liang hurriedly said: "Yes, it's all thanks to the professor and Brother Jun Liang. These days, I have the honor to study with Brother Jun Liang and receive guidance from the professor, which really benefits me a lot."

Gao Zhanming had no choice but to say: "Where is it? It's Brother Zhongguang who has extraordinary powers of understanding. How dare the foolish brother take credit for it?"

Li Wan said: "You don't have to be humble, progress is a good thing. Zhongguang, I heard Zongzheng say that some time ago you sent your articles to the elders of the clan and the officials of the court, and everyone was full of praise after reading it. Zongzheng also said..."

Gao Liang didn't wait for Li Wan to finish, so he hurriedly interrupted: "Professor Li, you must not boast. This student still has many shortcomings. When Professor Li is free, the student privately wants to talk about it again." Learn a thing or two from the professor."

Li Wan froze for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."

Gao Zhanming suddenly became suspicious.Li Wan just said a month ago that there is still some lack of highlights and articles. He and himself have only been studying here for a month. Note, I have also benefited a lot from studying here, but in just one month, can the highlighted articles make such great progress?And Li Wan also said that he has his own style in using allusions?Could it be...

He couldn't help but think of his lost manuscripts.

Gao Zhanming immediately turned his gaze to Gao Liang, who was also sizing him up. The moment their eyes met, Gao Liang immediately looked away.

Gao Zhanming was even more suspicious. He was about to ask, but he heard Li Wan say, "I came to you. Apart from asking about your homework, I have one more thing to tell you. You should make preparations in advance."

Gao Zhanming had no choice but to put the matter aside for the time being, and listened to Li Wan's words together with Gao Liang.

Li Wan asked, "Have you ever been to Xiangshan Mountain?"

Both Gao Zhanming and Gao Liang said, "I've been there."

Li Wan said: "It's good to have been there. Some time after the state banquet, the emperor will hold a banquet on Xiangshan to entertain the royal family's relatives and noble children. The children of your Gao family are among those invited, the queen Xu and the noble concubine Zhao Several of the children of the royal family should also have a banquet. Recently, several children of the royal family have come to Beijing, such as the eldest son of Prince Yong, the prince of Nanhai, etc. At that time, the Queen Mother, Duke Anguo, Duke Pingyang, and several respected elders will also participate. "

Gao Zhanming and the others have no official titles. Although they are the children of powerful and powerful people, they are not qualified to participate in the state banquet.However, after all, it is such a big event as the emperor's birthday, and it is impossible for them, the children of the prominent family, to stay out of it completely. Therefore, the emperor first hosted a banquet for the dignitaries, and then held a small banquet for relatives and children to connect with each other.

Gao Zhanming glanced at Gao Liang, but didn't ask the doubts in his heart.There are many descendants of the royal family and noble families. There are quite a few direct descendants of the Gao family, Xu family, Zhao family and other big families. In addition to those royal families with the surname Li, the emperor and the queen dowager personally sit in the town. This kind of banquet pays great attention to family background. of.Although his father died early, he was still a true direct descendant of the Gao family, so it was not unusual to be invited, but Gao Liang was only a collateral descendant, how could he have the face to meet the emperor and queen mother?

Li Wan saw Gao Zhanming's doubts and explained: "Zhongguang, you were not originally invited, but he read the article you submitted to An Guogong a few days ago and liked it very much. So I specially asked for an extra seat for you."

Gao Liang himself was very surprised, overjoyed, and excitedly didn't know what to say: "This... this... Thank you, Professor! Thank you, Mr. An!"

Another highlight article!Gao Zhanming was full of doubts in his heart, but since there was no evidence, he resisted not opening his mouth.

Li Wan said: "On that day, the emperor will ask all of you children to write an article describing the scene of the Xiangshan gathering, or a parallel prose, or a poem, and the emperor will personally write a "Xiangshan Anthology Preface" to include all of your articles. Among them, this collection of essays will definitely be circulated among hundreds of officials and even ordinary people, so you should prepare early and start thinking about articles today."

Gao Liang was taken aback, and said, "All participants must write?"

Li Wan said: "Naturally. In fact..." He hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Everyone will make preparations in advance, and some students with less literary talent will even ask someone with literary talent to write it in advance, and then recite the article when they get there. After all, this is also an opportunity to perform in front of the emperor and queen mother."

When Gao Zhanming heard it, he understood most of it in his heart.Literati and inkmen like to write at parties to show off their literary talents. Some are really improvised, and some are a conventional cutscene, and everyone has prepared in advance.Perhaps the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to explore the literary talent of the people, but how could the affairs of the Tian family be done impromptu?I am afraid that those dignitaries have already spent a lot of money to hire people with extraordinary literary talents to write for their children.As for him and Gao Liang, one is the lost son of the direct line whose father died early, and the other is the collateral child, so they may not be able to rely on other people.Even if Li Wan came to tell them the news, it couldn't help them other than to prepare them early.

Gao Liang was a little flustered: "If other people are ghostwriters, wouldn't the disciple's writing be ridiculous?"

Li Wan said: "You don't have to be too modest, I think your articles are not inferior, not to mention you still have a lot of time to prepare. Both of you have good literary talents. If you play well, you may still be outstanding. At least you will not be able to cope with it." Question. At that time, I don't expect you to become a blockbuster, at least you don't want to make a fool of yourself."

Gao Zhanming said: "Brother Zhongguang and I are not too young, maybe this opportunity..."

Li Wan nodded: "Especially those of you who have not yet entered the imperial court. After a while, you should also enter the court. If the article is well written this time, it may be related to your first job. So as soon as I got the news, I'll let you know right away."

Gao Zhanming clasped his fists: "Thank you, teacher! This disciple will work hard and live up to the teacher's teachings."

Gao Liang saw Gao Zhanming like this, although he was burning with anxiety, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Disciple must work hard."

Li Wan said: "Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any more. You should be prepared. If you have any doubts, just come and ask me. I will definitely help you."

Gao Zhanming and Gao Liang said, "Thank you, teacher."

After Li Wan left, Gao Liang became very restless and fidgety.Gao Zhanming watched his performance, and was even more doubtful about his ability to write good articles.

Gao Liang salivated and said with a smile: "Brother Jun Liang, do you have any ideas?"

Gao Zhanming said calmly: "What's the hurry? A parallel essay is nothing more than a well-organized confrontation and a sonorous rhythm. It doesn't need any imagery or depth. Although my brother Yu can't write a good work, it won't make people laugh. A good sentence is rare, so hurry up." Don't be in a hurry. Besides, I just heard the professor praise Brother Zhongguang's article so much, so I think Brother Zhongguang should be very handy."

Gao Liang looked embarrassed, and secretly looked at Gao Zhanming's expression: "No, no, brother Yu has only so much ink in his stomach, how can he write any good articles, it's the professor's absurd praise."

Gao Zhanming said: "Anyway, there is still half a month to go. If you save up, you can always save up an article."

Seeing what Gao Zhanming said, Gao Liang had no choice but to keep silent.

It was getting late and late, and gradually it was time to go to bed.

Gao Liang asked Gao Zhanming: "Brother Jun Liang, why don't you go back?"

Gao Zhanming spread out a piece of rice paper, dipped his pen in the ink, and said, "Young brother has an inspiration, write a few sentences first, and then go back to rest after finishing writing. Brother Zhongguang doesn't have to wait for me, go back and rest first."

Gao Liang turned his head three times and left hesitantly.
