Dress to be a celebrity

Now that the invitation letter and the donated book for the First Fujian Famous Lecture Exchange Meeting and the Monument Ceremony of Siqi Forum in Wuping County were made, Song Shi borrowed Huan Ling's family members to learn from his father, Huang Xunyan, and Fang Ti The two acquainted censors began to send out the invitation letter set according to the list.

He reckoned that the superiors would not take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to attend the meeting, but it didn't matter if the leaders came or not, they sent gifts just to show their attitude.

However, he still prepared a row of leadership seats for the leaders who might come to attend the meeting, set up tables and chairs, and covered them tightly on the stone pier.Behind the leader's seat is the guest's seat, and the layout level is lower than that of the leader's seat. There is only a bed without a chair back.And the auditorium on the outer layer is one level lower, and only two or three people can squeeze into one table, one table and one stool.

Desks, seats, and parasols are arranged on the podium, and a sunshade is also built under the podium to shade the sun. Tea cups, mint and wormwood repellent water, melon seeds, fresh fruits, and rice dumplings are placed according to the heads of the people. Off-site service personnel come in at any time to pour tea pour water.

Those who do not have an invitation letter for admission must have an invitation from a participant, or show their proof of the mid-term examination to enter the venue—this is the first year to organize such a conference, and neither the organizer nor the participants have any experience, so I would rather Let fewer spectators come in, and don't allow people of unknown origin to easily mix in.

Song Shi went back to the county temporarily, asked his father to preside over the meeting, and held a meeting for the county's government officials and white servants on duty, emphasizing on the safety work during the meeting.

It is necessary to prevent fire, theft and major accidents.

The county must establish an emergency response mechanism for emergencies.

Defining posts and responsibilities, implementing tasks to posts, and assigning responsibilities to individuals.

As soon as the safety work meeting was held, all the things that the higher authorities organized them and these private travel agencies to study back then magically came back to their minds!The memory of modern society is really a treasure house. As long as you don't forget what you have learned, it can be used for him to build society... New Wuping in the Dazheng era has valuable help.

He held meetings diligently in the county, and Huan Ling's family also handed over invitation letters inviting all Shangguans to come to Wuping to give lectures to Huang Xunyan and Fang Tixue.

Fang Tixue was presiding over the year's scientific examination in Zhangzhou Prefecture at the time, so naturally he couldn't receive the invitation letter.Huang Xun was at home. When he received the fresh and elegant invitation letter and the "Biography of the White-haired Fairy" which was surprisingly more concise than the first edition, his eyes lit up immediately. He read the text carefully several times and exclaimed: : "It was actually printed! How could he print such fresh and elegant words! Although the brush strokes are too thin, the muscles and bones are full, and the flesh and blood are not rich enough, but how did he carve and publish the hair-like words? of?"

Master Tian also took his own invitation card, compared it with Fang Tixue's two in detail, and pondered: "My lord, have you noticed that this paper full of articles is actually the same as that written by humans-except for the words and strokes? It is thinner and stiffer, and the length, density, and back-to-back sequence are well-organized. It is not like ordinary printed books, and the fonts are uniform in size and density! Where did this Song Gongzi find a master engraver?"

He is the son of the county magistrate of Zhongxian County. He is lucky to have a craftsman who can blow glass plates. How can there be such a carver?

Mr. Huang touched the fine landscape on the invitation letter, and said: "The last time I heard the biography of the white-haired fairy, I suspected that he asked someone to make it, and the result was exactly as I predicted. This time, this new engraving, I think It’s not the work of a craftsman... How dare a craftsman use a new font so easily, and how can he engrave the turns and overlaps of the characters so finely? I think he created this font to show off his skills on purpose!”

Be it the new engraving technique, or the lecture conference mentioned in the invitation letter, they are all really yearning for.

Master Tian saw that he was moved, and asked proactively: "My lord, can I go and see what his lecture conference can do?"

Huang Xunyong sighed deeply: "I just came back from Wuping last year, how can I go again immediately? No, my brother will go and have a look for me." He suddenly remembered Fang Tixue who was hanging out to test students, and asked himself: "Which prefecture is brother Yin Shan taking the exam? I wonder if he can make it in time? I'll write to him and ask him. If he is free, he can go there, so as not to be as regretful as I am."

Sorry!Dear friends and colleagues can go, only he is too embarrassed to go.

Master Tian comforted: "When the students come back, they will definitely describe the scene of the conference in detail to the adults, and bring back a few new books printed by him."

Master Tian packed up his things and set foot on the road to Wuping. Huang Xunyan's letter was also delivered to Zhangzhou Mansion, with his own invitation card attached, telling Fang Tixue that Song Shi, a student he took in last year, held a lecture conference, and printed it like this Novel post.

At that time, Fang Tixue was filling in the ranking of Zhangzhou students.

He took the Confucian Academy Examination and the Student Examination together. These days, if he is not in the invigilator, he is judging the papers, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the yamen.It wasn't until the exam list was filled out that he came out of the temporary Taoism office where the temple was reformed, and followed Huang Tixue's letter.

After reading the papers with similar contents and fonts for several days, when I suddenly saw this fresh and elegant invitation, I felt a sense of relief from the vulgarity in my chest.

The invitations were elegantly made, and the articles printed inside the invitations were mellow and upright, as expected of the No.3 student in the whole house whom he personally ordered.Since Zhangzhou has finished the exam, go directly to Tingzhou—anyway, it’s not too far away from the Dragon Boat Festival, so there’s no need to rush to call students from various counties to take the exam when you arrive at the mansion. Go back to Tingzhou to hang the students.

Last time he got the top three in Song Dynasty, he could end up with Ying Qiuwei without having to take an exam. He thought he would never see Song Dynasty again, but he didn't expect that their teachers and students were still so destined.

Fang Tixue shook his head with a smile, and sent a message to the Zhangzhou government.

Zhangzhou Mansion naturally had a farewell banquet. Above the banquet, he mentioned that he was going to Tingzhou to take the exam next time. The local Tao Zhifu sighed: "If you go to Tingzhou, you will not be far from Wuping County. I heard that It must be a great event for talented scholars in Fujian to hold a lecture conference during the Duanyang Festival in Wuping. It’s a pity that the lower officials are responsible for a county and cannot leave the county, otherwise I really want to go and listen to it.”

Well, why does Zhangzhou Prefecture know about Wuping County?

He asked a few more questions, and found out that Song Dynasty invited talented scholars and celebrities to participate in the conference. Several officials in the mansion and Liu County Magistrate Fuguo all got an invitation letter and the newly printed "Biography of the White-haired Fairy".

But here he only has an invitation letter from Huang Xunyan?

Tao Zhifu said considerately: "The invitation and the book I want to send to Wuping County have been sent to the mansion. I have another copy here, if you don't abandon it..."

Fang Tixue raised his hand, and his big sleeves rang in the air: "No, this academy is going to Tingzhou Mansion to take the exam. When I meet that Song student, I just ask him for a copy."

To mention the censor, you have to attend the lecture conference in person, so even if the host is only the son of a small county magistrate, this conference will at least be famous for a while, and it will be included in the article!

After Fang Tixue left, Tao Fuzun summoned the steward, and wrote letters to famous scholars and township eunuchs who were acquainted in the mansion, telling them to go to Wuping to watch the lecture meeting if they had the time.If they can overwhelm the talents of other prefectures and counties at the meeting, it will not only win the name of the prefecture, but also show off their own family, right?

He personally persuaded people to participate in the meeting, and naturally many people responded.Except for those who often bully tenants and seize property, and feel guilty after reading "The Legend of the White-haired Fairy", most celebrities will feel a little curious when they see this unprecedented invitation letter, and want to see what the conference can do. .

I also want to know the person who made this invitation card of unknown script and printing method.

So on the way Fang Tixue went to Wuping County, well-dressed celebrities often walked with him.And because he has to notify the local government everywhere to pick him up when he is going to study, he is not as fast as those gifted scholars, and he saw many people go to Wuping before him.

It was also the first time that Song Shi saw so many famous people these days.

He originally thought that he was just the son of the county magistrate, and he posted a post in his own capacity to invite people to give lectures. He might not be able to invite many people, but unexpectedly, more people came than he thought——

Naturally, officials from Waifu counties would not abandon their government affairs to come to Wuping, neither could Jinshi who stayed behind closed doors, nor could the old and sick.However, there is a former Huzhou Zhizhou Xinmu Song county magistrate who has become an official. He came here specially to meet him and try to give lectures on the stage; Among them, I came here especially to experience the fun of teaching books on the altar.

The Juren, Shengyuan, Chushi, and Shanren who came to listen to the lectures are even more day-to-day. In addition to the family servants they brought, there are as many athletes as there are in the Provincial University Games!

It exploded!

The first Wuping County Lecture and Exchange Conference has been held on this scale, which is really satisfying!

However, there were too many people, and he and Huan Ling couldn't entertain them, and if they asked the Yacha to entertain them, it wouldn't fit their status...

So he found Zhao Shusheng who had betrayed his classmates and secretly sent him news, and asked him to help receive guests.

Talented scholars and students headed by Lin Quan Club in Wuping County naturally accepted his post. Some were willing to come, but some were unwilling to meet him because of their close relationship with Wang, Lin, Xu and other aristocratic families.However, Zhao Yueshu was a firm supporter of the Song Dynasty, and then his letter came out from home, and he took over this important task face to face.

Not only can he attract people to receive them, but if there are too many people coming and the academy can't accommodate them, he can also lend out his family's estate to entertain these talents from other places.

——He only had one request, and that was to let Li Shaosheng help out at the meeting, so that they could have a chance to get together in private.

Song Shi felt sorry for them, and sighed: "It's hard work for you to be so sneaky, can't you find an academy to study together? If you are willing to give lectures in my academy, I will let Brother Li live in and be the dormitory supervisor. Can your family manage to go to the academy?"

Zhao Yueshu's pupils widened suddenly, and a burst of light erupted as a dying man saw a straw.But the light flickered and then dimmed. He shook his head and said, "No, I still put my career first. I just hope that I will be able to go to Beijing as soon as possible. I will stay in Beijing or other provinces with Shaosheng to study. How happy it is to stay together every day?"

Song Shi wanted to say that their school would also open advanced classes, and maybe there would be good teachers after this meeting, but he said with a full face: "We in Fujian have always valued the friendship between men and women more than husband and wife. What's wrong with being good at Shaosheng? It's a good story to hear that you Qi brothers have not married for decades and supported each other until they grow old!"

...All right, you study hard and strive for early independence.

Song Shi silently blessed him, and then wrote a letter to his parents as he requested, proving that he was seconded to work in the county, not out to play with men.

With Zhao Yueshu's mediation, Shen Shijing, the chairman of Linquan Society, and the few remaining scholars can finally put aside their face and the hatred of their colleagues for being cut from their reputations, and come to help.In fact, they wanted to participate in this grand event as soon as they received the invitation, and even wanted to give lectures and debate questions as early as the forum was built.It's just that the Song county magistrate and his son destroyed the Lin family. They were afraid that they would lose their scholarly spirit if they followed the Song family's post, and they waited until now to go down the steps.

With the help of them and the contemporaries who passed the examination in the Song Dynasty to welcome the guests, those who came to the lecture were separated according to their academic achievements and accents, and settled down in Wupingan smoothly.

When the first day of May arrived, Huan Ling galloped from Fucheng to the county seat, and saw Song Shi who was receiving guests in front of the pulpit at the foot of Jiaoyi Mountain.Li Shaosheng and Zhao Yueshu sat on the side to register their identities and distribute their passports. The two of them did the work of one person. Song Shi didn't care about their work efficiency. A romantic scholar with a hanging neck and surrounded by many beautiful maidservants and children spoke.

——I can only slow down, because neither of them can understand the other's dialect, and the communication depends on the not-so-standard Southwest Mandarin.

He reined in the horse at the side, and waited for Song Shi to finish the work, and there were no other guests around, so he led the horse over, took out the invitation card and shook it in front of him jokingly: "This friend is in charge of entertaining Anyone who participated in the lecture meeting? He was a Jinshi in Xiaxintai for 20 years, and Huan Ling, the governor of Tingzhou Prefecture, was invited to give lectures here, but he didn't know where to live?"

Song Shi accepted the invitation with a smile. Seeing that he did not bring his family, he personally led him to the table, and said to Zhao and Li solemnly, "Register in the lecture book for Mr. Huan."

It’s not just that the northerners can’t understand what the southerners speak, and the southerners can’t understand the northerners who speak too fast.Zhao Yueshu and the others didn't understand the joke between Huan Ling and Song Shi, so they filled out the form and filled in Huan Ling's pass - which stated his identity, age, and appearance.Only the place of residence was written. Song Shi quickly grabbed the pass and said with a smile, "There's no need to fill it out. My brother doesn't live in the government hotel, but lives in the county government."

He took the pass and said: "Since the senior brother is here, I, the junior brother, will naturally accompany me. When I go to invite some friends to entertain the guests, I will leave with the senior brother."

He went to the rest shed in Linjian and called a student Sun, entrusted him with the registration here, and took Huan Ling back on his own horse.

On the way, Huan Ling asked him if he had worked hard these few days, and remembering how he had dealt with the red-clothed scholar who hurt his eyes, he couldn't help sighing: "People today only say that they want to learn to be a celebrity, but they don't know that the reason why the Wei and Jin celebrities let go is because of the court situation. Unkindness, the world is in trouble, and scholars live and die at night, so they have to relieve their inner distress by letting go of their bodies. Now these people are only willing to imitate their loose appearance, but there is no half of the essence of a celebrity in it.”

Deliberately wearing this demon costume, and leading a cunning and beautiful maidservant to greet and hug, this is considered a celebrity, but he uses the word "celebrity" to cover up his lustful and profligate nature.

Huan Ling's family was very strict, and he refused to speak ill of others easily, but in the end he just shook his head: "It's not as good as that Zhao Shusheng. When I saw him that day, I was only Li Shaosheng, and I saw him today. good."
