Gao Zhanming came to Li Wan's study. Gao Liang was in the study. In front of him was a piece of rice paper, a pen resting on the inkstone, and a few essays in front of him. They were all famous parallel essays describing scenery. After a long time, it is still difficult to write.

Gao Zhanming walked into the study and sat down at the side, acting very calm, as if he didn't know that his article was plagiarized.

Gao Liang scrutinized Gao Zhanming secretly, and said with an apologetic smile, "Brother Jun Liang, what do you think about Xiangshan?"

Gao Zhanming said: "I already have some clues. It's just that there have been some problems with my home business in the past few days. I have to go back to the house from time to time to have a look, so I can read books and write here secretly. In my own place, I I've been so busy for many days that I don't even have the time to turn the pages!"

Hearing what he said and seeing his normal attitude, Gao Liang thought that he didn't know that his manuscript had been stolen by him.

This Gao Liang was born in a collateral branch of the Gao family. Although the Gao family is famous all over the world, he has not gained much fame. Even his uncle Gao Meiyong used his connections to get him to study in this school. Welfare.He is not a student at all, his poetry and prose have always been ordinary, so in order to get ahead in the future, he had to resort to scheming to curry favor with the younger generation.When Han Baiyue was here, Han Baiyue took the lead in bullying Gao Zhanming under the name of Gao Huachong, and he pushed Gao Zhanming away, but he didn't expect Han Baiyue to be kicked out of Zongxue directly by Gao Zhanming, so he immediately turned around and flattered Gao Zhanming .

First, Gao Meiyong said a lot of good things for him in front of An Guogong, and An Guogong mentioned a sentence to Li Wan for him to cultivate Gao Liang.Li Wan didn't think that Gao Liang had any future in cultivation, but after all, it was An Guogong's order, so he asked Gao Liang to spend a few days reading "Several Strategies", analyze the outline, and summarize the classics.Naturally, Gao Liang didn't have such skills, but he saw the reading notes left by Gao Zhanming in the study, so he copied Gao Zhanming's notes and handed them to Li Wan. Li Wan was very satisfied and left him to study.

When Gao Liang tasted the sweetness for the first time, he started to plagiarize.He sneaked to Gao Zhanming's residence while Gao Zhanming was away, and found Gao Zhanming's manuscript. He secretly copied one and showed it to Gao Meiyong and Li Wan. Unexpectedly, they were full of praise.Gao Meiyong knew that Gao Liang had stolen Gao Zhanming's articles, but Gao Liang's literary talents were mediocre, but Gao Zhanming's insights were very profound, so he encouraged Gao Liang to plagiarize all Gao Zhanming's articles, if they could be liked by An Guogong and others , maybe he can help him when he enters the court, otherwise he only depends on his own ability, and he doesn't know when he will be able to get ahead.

Gao Liang tasted the sweetness from Gao Zhanming, and became more and more courageous. He simply plagiarized all of Gao Zhanming's manuscripts, preemptively, and distributed them everywhere, saying that they were his own works.He didn't expect that Gao Zhanming's article was so well written that the elders were full of praise after reading it, and even circulated it, his reputation spread immediately.

He was always worried that Gao Zhanming would find out about this matter, and Gao Zhanming would expose him publicly, so he stole Gao Zhanming's manuscripts and burned them all, wanting to have a dead end, and even agreed with Gao Meiyong that once Gao Zhanming invented, they would join hands to frame Gao Zhanming as jealous of him Gao Zhanming did not expect Gao Zhanming to have no response, and he must have not discovered it yet.

Gao Zhanming also spread out the rice paper, meditated for a while, picked up a pen and wrote, and wrote several paragraphs eloquently in a short while.

Gao Liang rushed over and asked, "Brother Jun Liang, are you writing that parallel essay?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Yes, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. It just so happens that there is a literary flourishing today, so I will write it, and save myself from worrying about it in the next few days."

After a while, Gao Zhanming put down his pen, picked up the rice paper and blew on the wet ink.

Gao Liang asked anxiously: "Brother Jun Liang, have you finished writing?"

Gao Zhanming smiled and said: "Yes, today's writing is like a spring, and I didn't expect to write so smoothly."

Gao Liang's eyeballs rolled around, and he began to have bad ideas in his heart.

Gao Zhanming said, "Brother Zhongguang, how is your article going?"

Gao Liang said: "I'm not as good as Brother Jun Liang, I haven't written it yet."

As soon as Gao Zhanming raised his hand, he "accidentally" knocked over the tea cup at hand and wet the corner of the article he had just finished writing. He quickly rescued the rice paper. In time, the writing on it is still very clear.

Gao Zhanming shook his head again and again, and said with a tusk, "Oh no, no."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, only to hear Yin He's voice came in: "Master, are you in?"

Gao Zhanming put aside the rice paper on which the article was written, and said, "I'm here, come in."

Yinhe pushed the door open and came in, saying: "Master, Master Zihui has something to look for you, you should go back early today." Gao Zhanming had made an appointment with Yinhe before, and asked Yinhe to wait outside the door, taking him to smash the cup as a signal , Hearing the sound of him smashing the glass, he came in and sent him away.

Gao Zhanming looked at the wet paper in his hand in embarrassment: "It's not dry yet."

Yinhe hurriedly came up to look at the rice paper in Gao Zhanming's hand, Gao Zhanming winked at him secretly, Yinhe suppressed his smile, pretended to be very anxious and said: "Master, why don't you just put it here to dry and pick it up tomorrow. Master Zihui was looking for you very urgently, I'm afraid it would be bad to keep him waiting for a long time."

Gao Zhanming squinted at Gao Liang, Gao Liang was secretly looking at them, when he saw Gao Zhanming looking over, he immediately looked away pretendingly, and looked at the book in his hand seriously.

Gao Zhanming said: "Forget it, then I'll come back tomorrow." He found two paperweights, pressed his article on the desk, packed up his pen and ink, and left with Yinhe. When he reached the door, he greeted Gao Liang: "Brother Zhongguang, I'm leaving first."

Gao Liang pretended to be obsessed with books, raised his head blankly, and greeted: "Okay, okay, brother Jun Liang, see you tomorrow."

Gao Zhanming said, "See you tomorrow." He left Li Wan's study without looking back.

After school the next day, Gao Zhanming went to the study again, but the article he left yesterday was gone.

Gao Zhanming pretended to rummage through the study for a while, but found nothing. After a while, Gao Liang came.

Gao Zhanming asked him anxiously: "Brother Zhongguang, did you see the article I wrote yesterday?"

Gao Liang was startled, and said, "But that Xiangshan article? What's the matter, has it disappeared?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Yes, I clearly stayed here when I left yesterday, but I couldn't find it anywhere."

Gao Liang said: "You disappeared as soon as you came? The article was still there when I left last night. Did the boy in the school see that the paper was soaked in water when he was cleaning the study and thought it was a waste manuscript?" Lost it? Why don't you ask Professor Li."

Gao Zhanming opened the door and went out.

After a while, Gao Zhanming came back dejectedly, and Gao Liang pretended to be concerned and asked, "Did you find it?"

Gao Zhanming shook his head, and slumped down on the chair: "It would be a disaster if I lost it. Yesterday's article was all improvised, and I haven't memorized it yet!"

Gao Liang rolled his eyes and said, "Since I've written it once, it shouldn't be too difficult to write it again."

Gao Zhanming smiled wryly and said: "Parallel prose is just a pile of rhetoric without any purpose. How can I remember the words I used yesterday?"

Gao Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and pretended to comfort him: "Brother Jun Liang has such a good literary talent, since there is still time, there is no difficulty in writing another one."

Gao Zhanming shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I have to write another one. It's a pity that I wrote yesterday's article so smoothly. If I write another one, I'm afraid it won't be as good as yesterday's one."

Gao Liang was secretly happy, and on the surface he pretended to be sympathetic and comforted him a few words, then Gao Zhanming went to the side to continue studying the new article.

After a few days, envoys from various parties came to the court, a large number of treasures were sent to the palace, and the emperor had a big banquet for the guests, and the whole country celebrated.

A few days later, the emperor held a banquet in Xiangshan for his relatives and noble children.

Early in the morning, Gao Zhanming, Gao Huachong, Gao Tianwen, Gao Liang and others got into the carriage and drove to Xiangshan.

Xiangshan is several miles south of Luoyang City, facing Longmen Mountain.The officers and soldiers had already sealed off Fragrant Mountain and the route, and the disciples came to the mountain in sedan chairs. A banquet had already been set up on the mountain, and everyone took their seats one by one.

The emperor held a banquet this time. The direct descendants of the Gao family in Beijing, the direct descendants of the Xu family of the Zhao family in Beijing, and the royal descendants all came to the banquet, accompanied by several Hanlin scholars who transcribed and compiled anthologies for the emperor.A total of three or forty people attended the banquet, and the seats were arranged according to their backgrounds. Gao Liang had the honor to sit with the direct descendants of the Gao family, courting him everywhere, but the direct descendants did not take him seriously. People pay attention to him.

The emperor, empress dowager, An Guogong and others have not yet attended the table, the Hanlin scholars and several children have already arrived, Su Yu and Li Jingruo are also present.

This was the first time that Gao Zhanming saw the children of the Zhao family.He studies in Zongxue every day. Although Zongxue has children with other surnames, it is the Gao family's Zongxue after all. Those children with different surnames are all relatives of the Gao family's aunts and aunts. Relatives, but after all, the two families are now in an awkward position, and the children have to avoid suspicion, and they seldom interact with each other on weekdays.

The elders hadn't arrived yet, so these children started talking on their own.The children of the Xu family obviously didn't get along with the children of the Zhao family, but they went on a blind date with the children of the Gao family. Eye-catching.

Gao Zhanming looked back and forth between the Zhao family's children and the Gao family's children, and saw that the Zhao family's children were all wearing golden crowns and jade belts, and they were very luxuriously dressed, not inferior to the Gao family's children. The temperament of the two groups of people was very similar. It is about to become a replica of the Gao family.

I heard that at the state banquet a few days ago, the emperor highly praised Concubine Zhao's father, the Duke of Pingyang, commended his achievements, and personally toasted him in front of all the envoys.This matter made the Gao family and the Xu family very dissatisfied. Even today, when the children gathered together, they were secretly denouncing Zhao's ills.

A disciple named Xu Gui said to Gao Hua: "Second Master Gao, look at that Zhao Yong, his pair of mung bean eyes are almost growing to the top of his head, I don't know what he is proud of! Look at his shoes, they are made of golden fur. There are a pair of small red satin court boots under the clothes, today is the emperor's banquet, he is so inappropriately dressed, it is thanks to him that he is not ashamed."

Gao Huachong glanced contemptuously at the disciples of the Zhao family who were sitting across from him, and said, "Country man, how can you expect him to be decent?"

Xu Gui burst out laughing.Zhao Yong is the son of Duke Pingyang and the younger brother of imperial concubine Zhao Jinyan. He has been growing up in Fanyang Town. This is the first time he came to Beijing with his father. No wonder Gao Huachong said he is a villager.

Xu Guidao: "What the second master said is true, the family members who can't stand on the stage really don't know what the emperor praises them!"

Gao Zhanming heard it funny, but seeing Zhao's disciples pointing and pointing at Gao Huachong and others, he didn't know what they were talking about Gao Huachong, probably not much better than a "country man".

Suddenly, Li Jingruo walked over, came to Gao Liang, looked him up and down, and said, "You are Gao Zhongguang?"

Gao Liang was overwhelmed, and hurriedly got up to salute Li Jingruo: "I am right here."

Li Jingruo said with a smile: "Recently you are a popular person, everyone is reading your articles, I have a drink with my brothers, and I heard them discuss your articles. I also read a few articles, your literary talent is really good. If there is a chance, I will ask you for advice on poetry and prose."

Gao Liang hurriedly said: "Brother Li is absurd, absurd."

A child of the Xu family at the next table smiled and said: "My father also read your article and was full of praise. He also reprimanded me, saying that I don't want to make progress. At the same age, your article is so well written. But I can’t even write a decent poem, it’s all because of you that I’ve been scolded, and I’ll have to punish you for three glasses of wine in a while.”

Gao Zhanming's article was distributed by Gao Meiyong and Gao Liang's father. The elders of Gao's family saw that the article was well written and passed it on to others. In just one month, the article had been circulated by several people. One of these relatives became famous for a while.

Gao Liang came from a low family background, and he cut his head to join the crowd with a high family background. Therefore, he was always looked down upon by the rich and powerful. How could he be promoted like he is today?He couldn't help being extremely proud, the smile on his mouth could no longer be restrained, and he replied repeatedly: "Definitely, definitely."

Li Jingruo whispered: "Brother Zhongguang must have prepared the article for a while?" All the disciples present at the meeting knew that they would write an article for a while. Only a few people around heard it.

Gao Liang had already memorized the article he stole, and at this moment he was confident, and said: "It's just a little idea."

Li Jingruo smiled and said, "Then I must appreciate Brother Zhongguang's masterpiece later."

After Li Jingruo finished speaking with Gao Liang, he came to Gao Zhanming's side again, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Jun Liang."

Gao Zhanming replied: "Brother Li."

Li Jingruo rolled his eyes around Gao Zhanming's body, smiled slightly, and turned back to his seat.

After a while, the Duke of An Guo, the Duke of Pingyang County and others arrived, and all the children sat upright after saluting, not daring to talk or laugh anymore.

After a while, the sedan chairs of the emperor and queen mother finally arrived.
