Dress to be a celebrity

The first Fujian Famous Lectures and Exchange Conference is over, but its influence is far from over, but has just begun.Celebrities and gifted scholars who originally just came to watch the excitement held a three-day conference and gave lectures on the forum in person, and they have grown infinitely attached to this forum.

Before we parted, we were already looking forward to the next meeting.

"Quotations" is printed on the cover of "the first session", will there be a second session?Will the second be next year or the year after, or will it be like the Ehu meeting held by the second son of Zhu and Lu in the previous dynasty, which will have a follow-up after more than ten years, but everyone who attended the meeting back then can no longer be present?

They asked the scholars in Wuping County, and heard the good news: their forum is here, and so many scholars in their county are here, why can't they hold lectures?

Not only will it be held, but there will also be two sessions every three years, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be held in Wuping every year when there are two examinations for the department.The only reason it is not held in the year of the general examination is because many talented scholars have to go north to the capital to take the exam during the general examination, and if they can't make it back in time, they have to wait for them to come back to hold a meeting together, which can be regarded as a grand event for all Fujian students.

So good, so good.Many people felt relieved, but they didn't have enough intentions, and they had to ask Song Shican if he would attend—if he didn't attend, the conference would definitely lose its color a lot.

This is hard to say.

Everyone in Manxian County knew that the Song family was from Northern Zhili. Although they were elected to be officials here, when the provincial examination came, Song Shi would definitely have to go back to take the examination.Judging from his performance at the meeting, it can be seen that he has a thorough knowledge of classics, meanings and Neo-Confucianism. Maybe if he gets lucky in Beijing, he can pass the township meeting twice in one fell swoop?

Furthermore, Song Ling of Wuping County has rescued disasters for more than a year, and has been clean-up and powerful.If Song Ling leaves Wuping, Song Xiaoshe will definitely follow his father, and he will definitely not be able to preside over the seminar.It's a pity that the grand scene of today's conference will come to an end!

If it has become an absolute hit, then it is even more worthy of blowing.

It’s not enough to just blow out how the celebrities at the conference talked about how close to the law of heaven and how many strange ideas emerged in the exchanges, we have to praise this conference in all directions and in a fancy way!

Those who praise the pulpit will praise it for its lack of beauty and decoration, and a round platform is just right for them. Scholars do not seek fame and fortune, but seek a spirit of natural principles; The podium is rightly placed; those who praise the Song’s School next door praise the large scale of the school building and the excellent buildings. During the conference, famous people from all over the world are invited to give lectures to the students to open up the wisdom of the people...

In short, the lecture venue, the characters, the quotations, the conference meals, the opening and closing ceremonies should be praised, and even the volleyball game that changed the rules in the Song Dynasty should be praised. Exquisite gameplay.

There is nothing to boast about, even the river embankment newly built after the flood last year in the county, and the small saplings that can be picked up just after a handful of them have to be borrowed to say, "In a few years, there will be fragrant trees lining the road. If the people of Wuling So far, it must be mistaken for Peach Blossom Spring."

Compared with this grand gathering of talents from Fujian Province, the scenes of those celebrities giving lectures and gatherings of literary clubs in the past are too small.Although some gatherings are several times more luxurious than this conference, but the content and depth of the lectures are not as good as their conferences in Fujian!

The influence of this lecture conference soon spread throughout Fujian.

Those who participated in the lectures were full of praise when they mentioned those days, and those who did not participate were all proud of their province for hosting such a grand event.

It's a pity that there are few people in this conference, and more people regret that they didn't attend.

The invitation cards printed in Song's new book are still on their desks. They could have given lectures at this conference, impressed the distinguished Confucians and talented scholars gathered at the meeting, and became famous throughout the province.But at that time, because I despised it as a lecture society organized by a small county, I missed this conference, and also missed this good opportunity to become famous.

Under the entanglement of this kind of regret, the conference they imagined was even better than the real conference, and those articles on "sleepwalking", "remote notes" and "cunning" were written pile after pile.

Naturally, these articles are not only digested in the province. All the relatives and elders who are officials in other places, married sisters, aunts and nephews, and brothers and friends who are studying...all received articles and new books from Fujian. A forum was held, and a lecture conference of famous talents from all over the province was held.

The host was appointed by the emperor last year, and asked all states and counties to learn from the son of Wuping Song county magistrate who did not ask the court for money and food, and did not default on autumn taxes.

In many articles, this son was praised as a beautiful young man like Pan An and Song Yu. He was also proficient in his studies and eloquent. He even created a brand-new printing method with extremely thin and powerful fonts.

Others, regardless of whether they are true or not, but the invitations printed by him and the quotations from the Fujian Lecture Conference have already been circulated in Beijing.There is an earlier "Biography of the White-haired Fairy", which talks about how Huang Jiong, the supervisory censor in Fujian, judged the big case of bullying the people by a local wealthy family. He appeared in the lyrics of Zhugong Tune. A benevolent son who braved the heavy rain to rescue people in the flood.

Is this Mr. Song really so outstanding?Or is it that group of Fujian scholars who have never seen the world, a young man with some talent and a little bit of handsomeness will be regarded as a talented person who can overwhelm the world?

People from other provinces are fine, but Suzhou talented scholars have been severely trampled by these Fujian scholars. How can they let go if they don't take revenge?

Suzhou Wuzhong is the place where talented people gather, and Wuzhong talented people have always been the most arrogant. A group of young people brought famous prostitutes to a banquet on the lake, and they talked about the new lecture conference held in Fujian this year.That meeting was organized by an unknown student, who dared to compare with the literature meeting of their Suzhou talents, and even said that their Fujian lectures were better than Suzhou, how could one bear it?

An arrogant young talent put his wine glass heavily on the table, and snorted coldly: "I am a Suzhou talent, how can anyone from a small county in the countryside be compared to me? Xu wants to go to Fujian to compete with that Song" Dou Wen, which virtuous brother is willing to walk with me?"

The famous courtesan Zhu Sheng'er who accompanied the boat was a celebrity in her boudoir, and she persuaded him very perceptively: "Mr. , lost to you again, and his reputation will not be lost.”

Even in comparison with Neo Confucianism, can he lose to that Fujianese, no, that Northern Zhili native!

He angrily stood up to invite people, and there were two or three talented people who agreed, but others felt that Zhu Shenger's words were more reasonable. After a few discussions, they looked at the real core of this meeting—the upright and prudent talent, who is excellent in poetry and prose. Hao.

Even Zhu Sheng'er only looked at Zhu Hao, his eyes were full of dependence, which was very different from the calm and self-sufficient when he stopped Cui Sheng.

Zhu Hao said solemnly: "The Song Dynasty never personally said that his family was more talented than our Suzhou talents, so if we go to find him, some teachers come from unknown sources. What's more, Yuanyu's poems and prose are romantic, and he can be called a talented person in the world. Let the villagers flatter a few words, the reputation and status are far from the same. If we find him for nothing, no matter whether we win or lose, we will take the initiative to use our own status to match his reputation."

Is it possible to leave him alone?But even though he didn't say anything himself, those Fujianese wanted to praise him to heaven!

Zhu Hao said: "His reputation is rumored outside, but because he held a conference, then we will also hold a conference, and invite some famous people from Fujian to come and see what our conference in Suzhou is like, isn't it? That's enough? As for Song Jun himself, he is just a low-key freshman, and there is no need to be aggressive."

Zhu Sheng'er said with a smile: "My lord, I wish to hold a seminar. My family is willing to give up this painting boat and my house as a venue, and then invite a few sisters to serve at the conference."

Most of these famous prostitutes in Suzhou are not official prostitutes, but private prostitutes. They live in elegant gardens and have red sleeves to add fragrance. It is really a resort for scholars to gather.If she lent her house, invited beautiful women of both talent and beauty to accompany the participants to discuss articles and science, serve banquets and perform arts, and invite some real celebrities from Suzhou to give lectures, wouldn't it far overwhelm the one in Fujian?

Everyone knew that Zhu Sheng'er loved Zhu Hao, so they persuaded him to accept the kindness with a somewhat kind smile.Zhu Hao said indifferently: "Thank you Shenger for your kindness, but this conference is not only for our fame, but also for the world to know that our Neo Confucianism in Jiangnan is better than Fujian, so we must hold it in a luxurious and luxurious way, surpassing him everywhere. .In this case, it would be better if I go to Zhenjiang myself and borrow Zhao brother Boxian's garden."

The merchants in Zhenjiang had strong financial resources, good looks and good literature, and they were close to talented scholars.Their gardens are the most exquisite and quiet, and they are willing to spend money to support the literary society. If they are invited to support this lecture society, it will surely be a grand event in the whole of Jiangnan.

As soon as this remark came out, except for Zhu Sheng'er who was a little bit disappointed, the eyes of those talented scholars lit up and echoed again and again.

The wild fun of banqueting under the lychee tree, the ten-foot-long red carpet, the self-study meeting, the host... It’s only for those who come out of a small place and have no experience. After seeing their Su-like lectures, they naturally know the difference.

The only thing that was available in the Song Dynasty was a new engraving method, but the printed characters were not perfect.Only a few words written by these talented people for the craftsman to engrave into invitation cards are enough to overwhelm his new edition of the book with extremely slender fonts.

After everyone agreed on this matter, they visited famous families separately, borrowed houses and family members, and Zhu Sheng'er contacted sisters for them... When they got busy, no one cared about Xu Caizi who proposed to compete with Song Shi on poetry at first on the painting boat.

Although he was persuaded by everyone, he was still unconvinced by Song Shi, who had been praised so much that he could overwhelm their Suzhou talents, because of his youthful arrogance. Song Dynasty.

He must let him see with his own eyes that Su Yanger's lectures are better than theirs in Fujian!

It's a pity that when he arrived in Wuping, he met Mr. Song, the county magistrate, but he couldn't meet Song Shi.Mr. Song only treated him as a student who came to study in Suzhou and received him as usual, and gave him some glass models of the Jiaoyi Mountain pulpit, small landscape paintings of the pulpit’s scenic spots in solid wood with glass photo frames, and bamboo silk fans for compiling pictures of Jiaoyi Mountain in the style of printing and painting, etc. He was given a few taels of silver for the worthless tourist souvenirs, and he was about to be sent out.

These glass products made Xu Caizi refrain from a little contempt - other things are worthless, but plate glass is rare. Only some taste can make these gifts.

He expressed his gratitude to County Magistrate Huan with some sincerity: "The students did not come here to covet the benefits of the boss, but to hear about your son's talent in his hometown, so he came here to visit and sent an invitation to invite him to Suzhou to participate in a lecture hall."

County magistrate Song didn't know that the people in Suzhou harbored evil intentions to suppress his son. He only knew that his son had become famous, and said excitedly, "It's really lucky for Song to be invited by a talented scholar in Suzhou. But he's not in the county now. Instead, study with Huan Tong in the mansion, if you want to see him, I will ask my family to lead you to the mansion."

Is it the Huan Tong judge in the lecture notes?It's a pity that Huan Tongpan is an in-service official, so he can't leave the house privately, otherwise, how good would it be to let him see the conference in Suzhou?

It doesn't matter, just invite the two lecturers Wang and Zhang to Suzhou to listen to their lectures.As long as these two people are willing to bow their heads, the scholars listening to their lectures will have nothing to brag about!

Xu Caizi asked County Magistrate Song for the addresses of the two old gentlemen, borrowed a family member, and searched for people in the mansion with all his heart.But when he arrived at the mansion, he was sent to the outside of the city with a pole - a murder case of robbers occurred outside the city, Huan Tongsan led his officers out of the city to arrest the criminals, and Song Shi, who was recognized as his famous criminal master, also went out with him.

Naturally, the important matter of catching robbers cannot be delayed for this scholar.

Menzi left his post and said flatly: "Mr. Xu, go back and wait for the news. After Huan Sanzun returns to the mansion, I will give the post to his old man."

Huan Ling is usually approached by people like tixue, patrolling, and imperial envoys from Beijing. A small student from another county, if he hadn't been introduced by Wuping Song Ling, he would not even bother to pass this post.

The disciple didn't care about the job, and Xu Caizi was also dissatisfied with the attitude of the disciple. When he went out, he asked Qian to inquire about Huan Ling's whereabouts, and rode to the east of the city where the accident happened with two young boys.

It is easy to find places where people die. They listened to people talking about it as soon as they left the city. The corpse was found in a dry well at the foot of Dongshan Mountain. A woman was identifying the corpse there, crying terribly. An autopsy was done there.

Xu Caizi knew that he would go there at this time and no one would pay attention to him, but he wanted to see what Song Shi was like at the first time, and whether he was worthy of the bragging articles of Fujian scholars.

After riding a horse for a short distance, I saw an old well with rotten wheels hidden among the weeds. People surrounded it with wooden sticks and ropes to surround an empty field, guarded by guards.A coffin was pulled on a cart beside the cart, and a woman was crying beside the cart, while an official in green clothes and a straight black scholar with a blue scarf covering his head were talking beside him.

He and the two Youtong were still a few feet away from the empty field, and they were also walking on the official road, but the officials in the field seemed to sense that he was coming towards them, and suddenly looked back.His eyes were as cold as lightning, but now a piece of square cloth was covering his mouth and nose, making him look even more majestic and ruthless.The scholar next to him also raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that were not covered by the turban and the square cloth. The tails of the eyes were slightly slanted upwards, but the eyes were as warm as spring breeze, not so oppressive.

From the bottom of his heart, Xu Caizi decided that these two people were the people he was looking for, and he tightened the reins and said, "Xu Xuan, a student from Suzhou, is here to ask to see Master Huan, the governor of Tingzhou Prefecture, and Brother Song, a student from Wuping County."

The cold light in Huan Tongpan's eyes faded a little, but Song Shi showed a look of shock or honor, as if he not only announced his name, but also said that Suzhou talents would bow down at his feet.

Xu Caizi reined in his horse in wonder, turned over and walked towards them.Before he got in front of the two of them, he saw Huan Tongpan bring that heavily covered face to Song Shi's ear and said a few words, and Song Sheng came back to his senses, narrowing his eyes slightly, as if Smiling, he raised a pair of hands that were weirdly swollen like fish bubbles, and seemed to be stained with red, yellow and yellow things, and waved them in the air a few times.

The guards next to the empty field all stopped in accordance with his command, and Xu Yu couldn't help but stop. He was fascinated by the strange hands, the faintly intoxicating smell, and the red man he had never seen before but could clearly guess what it was. Huang Zhiwu fell backwards in fright.
