Chapter 655 The Circle of Celebrities
In the fourth year of Wanli, Wang Fulin spent the New Year in Songming Mountain again.◇↓◇↓ Novel.¥f He first went to Nanjing, then went to Danyang and Yangzhou, and only arrived home on New Year's Eve, and had a reunited New Year's Eve dinner. Throughout the first month, as a Jinshi, he naturally had to be pulled around by Wang Daoyun to visit guests. He had been tormenting for half a month. It was only after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that he could barely calm down, but immediately began to prepare to attend Chen Yourong's wedding in Xuancheng. Because Huizhou Prefecture and Ningguo Prefecture were close to each other, the journey was more than 300 miles, so the family prepared to travel a few days earlier.
This time, except for his wife, Wang Fulin, three little guys who were always inseparable from most of the time, even Wang Xiaomei insisted on going, so he simply persuaded the two elders and brought them together. Wang Xiaomei, who is fifteen years old this year, has become a big girl. She is a little quiet and gentle when she is silent. But when she is chatting with Xiaobei in the car, Wang Fulin is still the little girl who is whispering back then. Because she goes out early, everyone walks and stops along the way, looking like she is traveling around and enjoying the mountains and rivers. It took him six days.
Although Wang Fulin had traveled and passed by Xuancheng several times before, especially when he came back from the capital, he had been wandering around the Shen family in Xuancheng for a while, because he was eager to return home, he was just a quick visit. This time, he had plenty of time. Wang Fulin originally planned to send a post to Shen family in Xuancheng, so he found an inn to stay in and enjoy the mountains and rivers. But who knew that when the doorman heard the word Wang, he ran in. After a while, Chen Maoxue personally welcomed him. After a few greetings, he heard that Wang Fulin was going to stay in the inn, so he immediately lowered his face.
"Brother Wang came from afar to attend Shihong's wedding, but he still had to stay in the inn. Isn't it said that my Shen family has no hospitality ceremony?"
"Brother Chen, am I thinking that there are too many people coming with me to have a wedding banquet this time? Besides, there are always many friends who want to come to Shihong's marriage. No matter how big the Shen family is, I'm afraid they can't stay there."
Chen Maoxue knew that Wang Fulin was referring to the time when Wang Erniang got married, and the Wu family in Xixinan vacated several gardens to accommodate visitors from all walks of life. His own friendship was wider than that of the Wu family, and there were only more guests. He smiled and took Wang Fulin in without saying anything. He ordered his servants to take care of the carriage and horses into the door. He walked along the way and said, "The Shen family's in-laws are also quite a few in-laws in Xuancheng. Each family helped to settle them, and they all lived there. In addition, my brother and I each had a villa. They all came out to entertain guests. But only you must live in the Shen family's house, otherwise if you don't say anything else, Shi Hong would blame me. I know that you like to travel around the mountains and rivers, and I will accompany you to Jingting Mountain in person."
"Okay, but there is one thing. If you have your friends, don't chant poems and essays with me."
Chen Maoxue was amused by Wang Fulin's prior statement, and then said, "Just about to introduce you, my friends have all been famous for you for a long time."
Soon, Wang Fulin realized what kind of circle Chen Maoxue brought him into. Among the best friends Chen Maoxue was all famous Jiangnan, Tang Xianzu, Mei Dingzu, Feng Mengzhen, Jiao Hong, and Tu Long. Tang Xianzu was a famous person for a long time. The rest were also famous scholars for a while. Jiao Hong was still the chief of the Chongzheng Academy in Nanjing. He had a relationship. The most touching thing is undoubtedly that these literary celebrities who were more than teenagers than him were all considered his juniors in the imperial examination. Mei Dingzuo was just a scholar, and the rest were juren, and no one had passed the Jinshi exam yet.
Although the academic field was always the first, Wang Fulin did not show off his plans to show off his Sanjia Chuan in front of these people. These people were not just the protagonists of ordinary literary and poetry clubs. He could fool him by just chanting poems and writing essays, and put them in the history of the Wanli literary world. They were also remarkable figures. So, from the moment they met, he showed a humble and respectful side of the elderly, and was ready to leave at any time. However, there were quite a few people among the people who were interested in him. Every word they said was curious and asked about his experiences. In the end, Tang Xianzu and Mei Dingzu even started arguing.
What they argued was nothing else. Who was writing it? Based on his experiences in Wang Fulin as a guide, he wrote a good show.
Wang Fulin saw that even Tu Long joined in with great enthusiasm, and was amused and laughed. In the end, Chen Maoxue cleverly rescued and said, "Okay, okay, don't argue, don't forget that Shiqing's uncle is a senior senior in the literary world. It's not your turn to write a show. The senior has already done it himself."
"As an uncle who writes a show for his nephew, Senior Taihan must be very concerned, unlike us who can sing freely." Tang Xianzu's temper came back again. After a snorting, he suddenly had an idea and said proudly, "It's better to do this. Let's compare three of us, Master Mei, Tu Changqing, how about it?"
"Just compete, isn't anyone afraid of you?"
"If you lose when judging, don't cheat."
Wang Fulin felt that these three famous men in their early thirties were really children. He just thought they were just kids, but after they dispersed, Chen Maoxue sent him back to his room, he was shocked to learn that Tang Xianzu's three were really helpless. He could only smile bitterly: "These three are really addicted to competition. Just what is there to write about this matter, it's better to change the Legend of the Legend of Liaodong Heroes."
"You think they had started before they changed. Shi Hong was so entangled by them that he wanted to hide when he saw someone. If Tang Hai was invited by the Emperor Jiang County of Xuancheng, I had just arrived in Xuancheng for a few times and made friends. As for the others, they were probably familiar with each other again and again. You might as well get along with everyone more. Although many of them have strange tempers, they are all sincere in making friends."
When Chen Maoxue said this, he couldn't help but smile. Then he saw that there was no one around. He added softly: "Except Mei Yujin, everyone else is going to participate in the fifth year of Wanli exam."
Wang Fulin knew that Chen Maoxue wanted to ask for a friend whether he could take a ride in the fifth year of Wanli exam, but he was not Zhang Juzheng, so how could he make a promise, he could only think about some of Zhang Juzheng's tendencies, and then said cautiously: "Although the Prime Minister bans lectures and does not like people with too much habits of famous scholars, he will take the exam personally next year, and will always strive to be true and gain more scholars with great reputation. If that is the case, everyone hopes. Speaking of this, Brother Mei is not going to be a big competition this year."
Speaking of Mei Dingzuo, Chen Maoxue couldn't help but shake his head: "He was the second in the Taoist exam at the age of sixteen and went directly to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the
Literature is mostly famous. Not to mention disdainful of the imperial examination, but there are very few people who are too lazy to go to the imperial examination in their prime, so Wang Fulin couldn't help but respect Mei Dingzuo. In the next few days, he took his family to visit Xuancheng, from Jingting Mountain to Xie Ting Tower, and all the famous scenic spots and historical sites. Because Xiaobei and Wang Erniang followed, Chen Maoxue did not call his friends, but personally took his wife to accompany him until the marriage was about to come, and then he went to work after Wang Fulin asked repeatedly.
As for Chen Yourong, as the groom, he couldn't get rid of himself. In the whole world, he only took time to meet Wang Fulin once in his free time at the mercy of others. Of course, Wang Fulin had no chance to meet his fiancée. On the contrary, Xiaobei and Wang Xiaomei were taken by Shen Maoxue's wife to meet. After the sister-in-law and sister-in-law returned, in their words, Chen Yourong's fiancée was a person with a completely opposite personality to them. He was truly gentle and elegant, from being a girl to cooking skills. What's even more rare is that although he was in adversity since childhood, he was generous in dealing with others, and he also taught the two of them some special soup and snacks.
Xiaobei repaid his favor and told the other party all the interesting stories of Chen Yourong in Ji Liao, which was nothing more than allowing the unmarried couple to gain understanding before marriage.
On the wedding day, all the famous families in Xuancheng sent representatives, plus those friends of Chen Maoxue. The farthest ones even came from Fujian to drink this wedding banquet, which was very lively. Wang Fulin unexpectedly met an acquaintance at the wedding banquet, which was Shi Yuanxi, the Ningguo Mansion Promoter of the same year. After asking, he learned that in just two or three months after the uncle and nephew of the Shen family returned, Chen Maoxue, who loved friendship, became friends with Shi Yuanxi under the help of Jiang Qifang, the magistrate of Xuancheng County. Now, Wang Fulin truly understood why Chen Maoxue's friendship circle was so big.
This person was really like-minded and immediately took him as his confidant.
"By the way, Lao Jiang heard that you had always wanted to meet you when you came, but he was very busy as the magistrate of Xuancheng County and you lived in the Shen family again, so he has been delayed until today. Fortunately, Brother Chen is very good at placing seats and put you at my table and Lao Jiang, just in time to talk together."
Wang Fulin didn't know much about the magistrate of Xuancheng County Jiang Qifang, but when he arrived in Xuancheng, he had to inquire about the local tyrants. Only then did he find out that in addition to being a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing, Jiang Qifang also had another special identity. The magistrate of Xuancheng County was actually the tutor of the sons of Zhang Juzheng's family, which is the so-called tutor of the so-called tutor. However, perhaps because of this relationship, Zhang Juzheng was only controlled by Gao Gong's secondary assistant, so he failed to keep Jiang Qifang in the capital, but instead placed him in Xuancheng, the first county of Ningguo Prefecture in Nanzhili, as the magistrate of the county.
Although Chen Maoxue had introduced Tang Xianzu and others to Wang Fulin before, when he actually arranged seats, he had another consideration, and divided Wang Fulin, who was very good at interpersonal communication and was also a Jinshi, as well as Shi Yuanxi, the magistrate of Ningguo Prefecture, Jiang Qifang, and Tang Xianzu and others together. Wang, Shi, Jiang was a Jinshi, but Tang Xianzu was specially invited by Jiang Qifang to visit Xuancheng. The rest were famous scholars for a while, so even if they were not famous scholars, they were famous scholars. Others, as for Tongzhi, who was a fifth-rank official in the government office, the sixth-rank magistrate, or the county magistrate in the county office, etc., were all arranged separately.
As Shi Yuanxi said, after meeting Wang Fulin and Jiang Qifang, they found that they were indeed very enthusiastic about him and did not know whether Zhang Juzheng had a relationship. Not only to him, Jiang Qifang was also very respectful to Tang Xianzu and Feng Mengzhen and others. He did not have the airs of a county's parents at all. Instead, he talked elegantly and politely. Wang Fulin could see at a glance that most of the people on the seat had a good impression of the Xuancheng County Magistrate. But as he was talking, he was depressed to find that the topic had unknowingly turned to almost two years, but now he was "restoring" at home.
Of course, even though everyone knew that he was completely an excuse for recuperation, he did not expose it. However, everyone was interested in guessing who he would be assigned to the next official. Especially when he was drunk, several good people even made a bet. But at this moment, Tang Xianzu, who had drunk two more cups, smiled and said, "No matter what official he is, he must be attached to the powerful. Otherwise, let's see what the fate of Haigangfeng is, Brother Wang, you were so powerful in fighting against all the heroes in the capital before, but you were just being used as a knife."
"Tang Hairuo, drink less when you are drunk." Feng Mengzhen saw that Jiang Qi's face changed, and immediately grabbed his wine glass, and then called the waiter to send tea. When he pulled Tu Long and forced the person to sober up, Wang Fulin smiled like nothing happened, "Fortunately, I know that I am low in alcohol and dare not drink yellow soup. As for the matter of sending officials, I really don't care. As long as I don't go to the Censorate, I won't be able to turn around and be the target of public criticism again."
Seeing that Wang Fulin cleverly saved the already stiff atmosphere just now, Shi Yuanxi immediately agreed. When the others said and said one by one, they gradually made up for the atmosphere that Tang Xianzu had just destroyed. However, with this incident, everyone would only talk about Wenlin. Regardless of state affairs, even when Feng Mengzhen and Tu Long returned to the table, they said that Tang Xianzu had settled down and went to bed first. Finally, when the groom of Shen Yourong came to toast, Wang Fulin used the excuse to have three cups of Shen Yourong, holding a pot and an empty wine glass in one hand, and dragging the person aside with the other.
"Brother Wang, just spare me, I really can't drink anymore."
"Idiot, do you understand, don't you understand, why do I talk to you alone? Who made you busy like that before?" Wang Fulin glared at Shen Yourong. Seeing that his face was full of confusion, he poured some wine and handed it over. Seeing that Shen Yourong took it in his hand, he whispered, "I have inquired about the matter of martial arts in Nanjing. As long as the archery and horse can be passed by, you can basically do it, even if you can understand the literature and science, you can basically do it, let alone the two people from the Ministry of War have said it clearly. So I will also send Zhao Sanmazi, who knows a little literary style, to try it. In addition, Zhang Xueyan is afraid that he will leave next year. You can think about it yourself, will the father and son of the Li family be suppressed you then?"
He said everything he had not had time to say before, and asked him to drink three small cups lightly. He was about to joke about the blushing groom, but suddenly he found out from the corner of his eyes that Shen Maoxue was walking towards him. He originally thought he was looking for Shen Yourong, but he didn't expect Shen Maoxue to speak to him directly.
"Shiqing, the messenger who sent the decree passed by Xuancheng. It is said that the decree of the Xia Taxation and silk dispute in Huizhou Prefecture has come down. I don't know why."
