Chapter 111 Face-covering literary meeting

When the shopkeeper Liu She said that the teacher’s literary meeting was held, he smiled and said, “This is indeed the first time that the teacher held a literary meeting! So in order to protect the teacher’s true identity from being exposed, all invitations were delivered based on the pseudonym and the bookstore where the book is published and sold.”

As he said that, Liu She took out two invitation letters from his pocket.

"There is another invitation post here by the old memorial that the Wenhui indicates to be delivered to Mr. Liaozhai. But even the old memorial is, so I can only entrust the young master to the young master!"

"There is another letter, which did not specify who to send to, and only said that I would invite the representative of Panlong Bookstore to attend." Liu She handed over the two invitation letters to Fu Xuechen and gave a brief explanation.

Fu Xuechen was curious: "Can you know the true identities of many pen names owners after you go?"

Liu She shook her head: "That's not possible! The post said that if you go to participate in the literary meeting, you can use masks, mulberry and other means to hide your identity. Of course, this is not a rigid requirement. It is also welcome to be willing to show your true face. As for the representatives of each bookstore, you can do whatever you want."

Huh? This is similar to a masquerade party! Fu Xuechen felt very interesting. When he opened the invitation post, he found that the time was set at early afternoon this morning, which was equivalent to around 11:00 am in the future. The location was at the Lianghu Association Hall. When he went there, he had tea first, had lunch, and then the official literary meeting was the one.

He could even have a banquet! Fu Xuechen was even more interested.

"What will this article be?"

When Liu She saw the question, he couldn't help but twist his whisper and said, "I think it's mainly to show the talents of our teachers, to make friends with all kinds of book shops, improve their reputation, and to exchange experiences in writing the script?"

"Let's go!" Fu Xuechen immediately decided: "When we meet with many masters at the same time, we will definitely be able to understand their ideas earlier, and maybe we can grasp the current masters' mainstream creative direction."

Seeing that the young master looked very excited and afraid that she would be disappointed, Liu She had to remind him: "Young Master, this is a start-up in the Master's Literature Association. I am afraid that there will not be too many people attending the meeting, and the conditions of all parties are relatively simple."

Fu Xuechen smiled, but his eyes were filled with a smile: "It's okay! If possible, I hope there will be a teacher's literary meeting every year from now on, and this meeting will be held by our bookstore, and it will be held in a grand manner!"

Liu She thought about it. When the profits of the book shop were rising before, the young master said that in the future, Panlong Book shop would be built into a chain book shop, first occupying four areas of Kyoto, and then spreading to other counties. In this way, the young master has a great ambition! He also hosted a slogan teacher's literary meeting, is he going to capture all the outstanding slogan masters in this world?

The Lianghu Guild Hall is located in the southeast of the book shop, only two streets apart, and it can be reached for seven or eight minutes on foot. Fu Xuechen simply left the horses in the book shop, and took Fu An and accompanied by Liu She's shopkeeper, all the way to the Guild Hall.

Due to the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets are very lively, with many snacks and many strange gadgets. Fu Xuechen passed by a vendor selling children's toys and bought himself a red fox fur mask.

If Fu Xuechen is the owner of the bookstore, he would not have to hide his identity. However, there was an invitation post that he should have handed over to Fu Yuchen, "Mr. Liaozhai" and she was having fun and decided to look at the situation at that time, and might be able to use it as a Mr. Liaozhai.

The Two Lakes Guild Hall is actually a large inn and restaurant with three high-rise buildings and three yards. The layout and grade are approximately equal to the four-star hotel with complete facilities in later generations.

There are many scholars from the two lakes, with a prosperous literary style and a developed business, so they have such a grand guild hall in Beijing, which is not only used to accommodate students and businessmen from their hometowns, but also open to the public, and their daily profits are very considerable.

However, when he arrived at the guild hall, Fu Xuechen discovered that the so-called "Talented Master's Literature Association" actually only occupied one floor on the side of a tall building in this luxurious guild hall. It was originally a place for people to drink tea and listen to books.

In the rather wide lobby, there are about thirty square tables of the Eight Immortals, which can sit loosely for more than a hundred people without feeling crowded. Three tea doctors walk through it from time to time and add tea to guests at any time.

In front of the wall facing the corridor is the Storyteller's performance stage, which is slightly three inches higher than the ground, so that the tea guests can see every expression and movement of the storyteller, but at this time no storyteller was performing.

Liu She took out the invitation post from the book shop and obtained a tea table next to the window. The location was slightly forward, but not in the front row, so it was a good seat that could see the performance seat clearly.

The food at the Wenhui was free for the guests invited. There were enough tea, peanuts, fennel beans, melon seeds and other snacks. There were three dishes on each table. Fu Xuechen tasted a few sips of tea and felt that the level was just that.

The tea party before the dinner was for guests to greet each other and use it to be familiar with each other. As guests from all walks of life arrived one after another, the teahouse became lively and even Liu She had friends who were familiar with him to say hello to him.

Fu Xuechen had already put on the mask she bought. When he saw someone greeting Liu She, he said, "You don't have to worry about me, you should socialize when you should socialize. Just think that I am with you, and I'll be fine if you think I'm here."

The young man still loves to play! Liu She was secretly funny. Since the young master wanted to pretend to be his master, he would not be disappointed. He sued him and left his seat and went to the business friend who was greeting him diagonally.

Fu Xuechen touched the red fox mask on her face that covered her upper half of her face, and looked at the other guests in the teahouse who covered her face like her.

A slightly fat round-faced scholar noticed Fu Xuechen who was following Liu She. Seeing her eyes swept over, he immediately bowed and said, "I am also the teacher of Panlong Bookstore, and his pen name is Luo Guanzhong, who is a virtuous brother?"

Fu Xuechen didn't expect that the first person to say hello to her would be Luo Qi, a familiar guy. Although the other party was wearing a laughing Luohan mask on his face, only his chin and mouth were exposed, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Fu Xuechen recognized him with his distinctive figure and familiar voice.

"I'm here to represent Mr. Liaozhai!" Fu Xuechen smiled and nodded in return.

"Hey! You, you are..." Luo Qi glared at him and instantly recognized his young boss.

"See through and don't say it out loud!" Fu Xuechen hurriedly blocked his words: "I am now the representative of Mr. Liaozhai."

Luo Qi quickly closed his mouth, and then couldn't help asking: "That Mr. Liaozhai..."

"Oh, he didn't come, I'll borrow his name!"

Faced with several masters who knew that he was the young master, Fu Xuechen did not intend to impersonate Mr. Liaozhai.

Luo Qi understood, but felt a little regretful. Mr. Liaozhai was one of the masters who he admired quite a lot. He didn't expect that the other party was so mysterious that no one came and missed a chance to get to know each other.

Soon, Wu Rui and Zhou Chong came together and also wore a mask on their faces. Because they knew each other, they quickly gathered with Luo Qi and Fu Xuechen. However, as a member of the organizer, He Ci was busy welcoming the guests and could not come over to talk to the few people.

Fu Xuechen didn't read this time and space script very much. He didn't know much about other people's words except his own words. With the introduction of Luo Qi and others, he greeted many strange words like a flash.

One of them, whose pen name was the hero, and whose representative work "Lu Yidao", looked thin, had a big head and a generous temperament. The other one, whose pen name was Mo Zhongyou, happened to be the author of the "Shan Ling Ji" which was a supernatural work before the birth of Liaozhai. Both of them were the co-written masters of Hanmo Bookstore, the largest book in Beijing.

Fu Xuechen wanted to find a few good seedlings at this lecture meeting, and dig them up as long as he could. However, the size of Hanmo Bookstore is more than three times larger than that of Panlong Bookstore. His cooperative lecturer is the least likely to be poached. And both of them are taking the traditional path. The literary flavor of the works is strong, and Fu Xuechen doesn't like it.

On the contrary, after Mo Zhongyou met Luo Qi and others, he became very grateful to each other and talked about their famous classic works "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West".

Fu Xuechen didn't interrupt much, but only listened to the discussions of these people. In other places, my teacher only thought she was here to investigate the situation of the Wenhui for Mr. Liaozhai. Although he was friendly to her, he did not take her seriously.

Gradually, many of the scholars around me who had poor grades were unknowingly attracted by the recent famous words here. They gathered together with the five people at the center, listened to their conversations and exchanges devoutly, asked some questions occasionally, and got answers, and felt very rewarding. This trip was worth it.

Fu Xuechen quietly listened to the discussions of the literati in front of him, and inexplicably had the illusion of dreaming back to the online literature forums in later generations. The only difference was that later generations were keyboard warriors, and the people in front of him were all relying on their mouths.

Such a heated discussion, even if there were some heated debates, the atmosphere was generally extremely harmonious, and the scene continued until the luncheon and then until the afternoon, and the literary meeting officially began.

As one of the initiators and organizers of this literary conference, He Ci acted as an emcee and walked onto the storyteller stage.

"Please return to your seats, this talk teacher's literary meeting will officially begin!" With his words, everyone in the teahouse returned to their original seats one after another.

After a while, the seat gradually became quiet, He Ci began the opening speech: "The country has been established, peace has arrived, and the future prosperity will be seen... The two lakes and chambers of war will have a feeling of the Beijing slogans gradually flourishing and becoming a trend, so they are willing to donate generously to literati... So with this essay meeting, I wish to gather friends from all over the world to enjoy the grand ceremony..."

After the opening lyrics, everyone celebrated their foreheads - in fact, this action was to applaud enthusiastically.

He Ci then invited representatives from major bookstores to say a few words. Hanmo Bookstore, as the most famous bookstore in Beijing, did not come. This one who was invited to the stage became the representative of the Kongfu Bookstore with books everywhere.

This person was quite cold. He went up and said only a few unnutritious clichés, and then returned to his original seat. Fu Xuechen felt that this person was actually very fond of today's words, and he was reluctant to see it.

Next, a representative from the Cheng family's first bookstore went up to say a few words, which was also a superficial encouragement that was unnutrition.

Soon he went to the shopkeeper Liu She, who represented Pan Longshu. Because Fu Xuechen had previously proposed to fight for the right to hold the teacher's literary meeting, his words were much more enthusiastic than those of the previous ones, and his posture was approachable, and soon won the favor of many of the masters present.

"...Our boss attaches great importance to the creation and distribution of slogan books and is willing to provide reward guarantees for excellent slogan teachers. I believe that Panlong Bookstore will be a good place for all slogan teachers!"

Liu She took the opportunity to openly poach and even pointed out what kind of words Panlong Bookstore hopes to get: "Welcome to have a simple and clear pen, know how to tell stories, and take into account the beautiful words and sentences at the same time, I came to my bookstore to hand in the manuscript. Panlong Bookstore is willing to work hand in hand with you!"

After his words came, warm applause came from the audience again. For a while, many representatives of other bookstores and bookstores all cursed Liu She in their hearts. Why didn’t he expect this trick to take the opportunity to poach others?

Liu She smiled and bowed to all directions. He was about to return to his seat when someone in the crowd suddenly asked loudly: "I am not talented and dare not ask for advice. How can I use straightforward words to tell stories? How can I be considered straightforward? How can I take into account the beautiful words and sentences at the same time? Isn't there any contradiction between the two?"

After a slap of applause, many people had the same question: Yes! How can I take into account the beautiful words and sentences in the plain language that is closest to oral? How can I expect it to be simple and simple when using beautiful and elegant words and sentences? Isn’t this a contradiction?

Liu She was slightly stunned. He made an impromptu speech. The summed up requirements are basically what the young master often said to him. How could he think of the contradictions?

Seeing that Liu She was asked, Wu Rui could not stand. His writing style was the most simple in Panlong Bookstore. He asked himself that he knew the most about the requirements put forward by Liu She. He immediately stood up and hugged the man who asked the question, and said, "In the following "Journey to the West, the Master Wu Chengen, I am willing to answer your questions for Manager Liu!"

"Journey to the West" is one of the popular classics recently. Wu Rui is almost the same as a newcomer who has become a god in his later generations. When he asked the man, he heard that he reported to his house, he was solemn: "I would like to hear it carefully, so please give me some advice!"

"I dare not take it!" Wu Ruixian said humbly and quickly said: "In my opinion, the so-called straightforwardness means writing in the most simple and easy-to-understand plain language. There are roughly three key points. One is that it must be useful when speaking, and there is no description that has nothing to do with the story. There are no need to add poems and lyrics."

"Second, do not focus on grammar, do not seek parallelism, and do not use obscure allusions. Third, do not complain without any illness, do not avoid using slang words and phrases. I mean, as long as it matches the identity of the characters in the writing, you can also write a swearing..."
