Red Mansion Reader

Chapter 80 Jing'an Wenshe (seeking first subscription, please subscribe)

In the fifth year of Wenhe, in April, the weather was fine and clear, and the clouds were bright.

Such a beautiful spring scene, no matter what kind of poems are read, will make people feel drunk in the spring breeze.On Baobao Lake, the spring tourists stopped to chat with each other. A pair of swallow wings flew over the water and sky, and disappeared among the red bridge and green willows amidst the wind and laughter.

In recent years, Yueyi Academy, which was officially promoted to Yangzhou government school, has more than doubled in size when it was first built.The courtyard wall, which occupies half of the street, is much richer than before just by looking at it.

What has changed is not only the exterior of the academy, compared to the previous student population of less than a hundred.Now there are as many as 130 students in the academy alone.

With so many students gathered here, it is impossible for the original masters to teach them.The head of the mountain has been looking for famous teachers everywhere recently, but unfortunately there are not many people he can fancy.

Moreover, in Yangzhou City today, Leyi's family is not the only one in the academy.Since Yangzhou Prefecture was able to hold the provincial examination, countless scholars who went south to study in Jinling returned to their hometowns one after another.

With so many people, Music Instrument Academy naturally couldn't accommodate them.Privately run academies such as Anding and Plum Blossom also came into being in response to the situation.

There are so many academies here, it is inevitable that the students will have a heart of comparison.Although everyone can say that they are not convinced by anyone, it is unavoidable to secretly compare each other's articles in private.

About a year ago, Chen Heng saw this happening frequently.Together with several friends in the dormitory, he founded Jing'an Wenshe.

The original intention of Jing'an Wenshe was to collect articles written by classmates, compile them into volumes, and hand them over to the library for typesetting.Some of them are used for the students in the academy to read and study, and some are sent to other academies, which is also convenient for everyone to learn from and communicate with.

However, as soon as the Jingan Wenshe was established, the bookcases placed at the door of the lecture hall were filled with enthusiastic students.

Every time I go back to the room with piles of articles to screen, it greatly affects everyone's time arrangement.Chen Heng later had to announce that, except for the students in Class A and Class B, he would not read any proposals submitted by other people.

There are four members in the Jing'an Wenshe, Chen Heng, Xue Biao, Qian Dayou, and Jiang Yuanbai. Among them, Xue Biao contributed the most money and efforts, and everyone unanimously elected him as the president.

There are two other members hiding in the dark: Daiyu and Baoqin.In order to avoid publicity, the two only used the aliases of Xiaoxiangzi and Yanxiake.

The task of the two of them is also simple. Whenever other academies send articles, according to the quality of the articles, one of them will be sent to comment according to the situation.

Over time, even people from Anding and Plum Blossom Academy have heard of their reputation.I know that there are two unsatisfactory scholars in Yueyi Academy, one likes to speak directly and mercilessly, and the other is good at soft-spoken, and doesn't tell the mistakes until the end.

Today is the day when Jing'an Wenshe screens articles, and the four of them gather together in front of the case, all with headaches on their faces.They were unlucky today, they encountered Cui Youdao and Du Yunjing delivering at the same time.

The two of them passed the examination as a scholar two years ago, and they have already jumped out of the stage of childhood.Logically speaking, they shouldn't be interested in the little fights between children, and I don't know why they bumped into each other today, and I don't know if they were caught in the dark again.

With no outsiders at the moment, Qian Dayou could not help but speak bluntly. He pointed to Du Yunjing's article and said, "If I ask you, Du Datou's political theory should be given priority.

Jiang Yuanbai shook his head. He also had his own considerations, "Everyone has their own opinion on whether the argument is good or bad. But this first article is for people from other academies to read. I think we should put Brother Cui's article first. His style of writing is something that others will not dare to underestimate."

Neither of them could convince the other, they both turned to look at Chen Heng who was drinking tea.Among the four of them, Chen Heng was the most talented and learned, so there was no reason for him to be a casual spectator.

"Brother Heng, what do you think?" The two said in unison.

"I agree with Brother Jiang's opinion." Chen Heng's thoughts are similar to Jiang Yuanbai's. After all, "Jing'an Wenchu" is to be shared and viewed by others.

However, it would be a pity that Du Yunjing's article was placed second. Chen Heng thought of a way and pushed Xue Biao who was drawing the cover of the album, "You draw two identical pictures, and we will paste them at the beginning and the end, so that people can't tell which side is the front."

"What does Brother Heng mean?" Qian Dayou's eyes lit up.

Chen Heng smiled slyly, pointed to the two articles and said: "Since it is difficult to distinguish Yuliang from Yuliang, let them rule the roost one by one. As classmates, we can't judge their good or bad, so let others be the villains."

"It's just that you have a lot of crazy ideas." Xue Biao added a layer of workload for no reason, and he couldn't help complaining to Chen Heng.

"You are the president." Chen Heng smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

After agreeing on the two most important articles, the next thing is much easier.Both Qian Dayou and Jiang Yuanbai are veterans, and they can tell whether the contents of many articles are good or bad as soon as they have a cursory look at them.

Chen Heng stood aside, carefully reading the articles selected by the two of them.Just to be on the safe side, lest someone hide some shocking words in the article.

While the four were busy, there was a sudden knock on the door outside their dormitory.Before they could answer, the visitor had already entered without warning.

"Brother Xue, I knew you were here."

The visitor held the gift in his hand, and it was very intimate when he opened his mouth.

Chen Heng, Jiang Yuanbai and the others looked at each other and smiled, got up and moved to the side in a tacit understanding.

"Brother Mei." Xue Biao smiled politely.

The person who came was Mei Shengjia, the youngest son of Mei Xuezheng, Wenhe's second-year student.Because he started school late, even though he was the same age as Chen Heng and others, he was still assigned to another room.

Originally, everyone lived in peace, except for a few meetings in school, there was no friendship in private.

But for some reason, when Mei Shengjia went to look for Mrs. Mei in the back hall of the academy, she happened to bump into Xue Baoqin who was coming to class.Mei Shengjia was shocked on the spot, and when she saw Mrs. Mei, she asked Xue Baoqin's identity.

After knowing that Baoqin is Xue Biao's younger sister, he is very warm when he sees Xue Biao.

Because his father has become the school principal of Yangzhou Prefecture, Xue Biao couldn't treat him too badly.Coupled with his own self-cultivation, he could only treat Mei Shengjia with courtesy.

But Mei Shengjia mistakenly thought that she was very liked by Xue Biao, and she was more proactive in her words and deeds.

"Brother Xue is so lucky, you can just call me Jiadi." Mei Shengjia sat beside Xue Biao enthusiastically, and generously put the gift on the table, "This is the dim sum that my younger brother bought when he passed by Guirenpu. I smelled strange, so I wanted to buy it for my brother and sister Baoqin to taste."

Xue Biao couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Brother Mei, my sister doesn't like pastries."

"Ah, is that so?" Mei Shengjia's face collapsed, and she blamed herself very much, "I'm to blame for being careless. I wonder if brother can tell me what little sister Baoqin likes to eat. As a brother, I go out on weekdays, so I should be more careful."

"It's okay, it's okay, brother Laomei is worried." Xue Biao frowned slightly, and couldn't stand the other party calling his sister by her first name.

"You should, you should." Mei Shengjia waved her hands again and again, her face full of enthusiasm, "Daddy often told me that brother Xue is a top-notch person and knowledge, let me get closer to you."

Xue Biao couldn't resist the other party's enthusiasm, so he quietly cast his eyes on the three people who were holding back their laughter in the distance.

Are you going to look at it like this?

I know, I know.

It was Chen Heng who understood Xue Biao's eyes, smiled and pulled Qian Dayou, walked behind Mei Shengjia together, and patted each other's shoulders lightly.

"Two classmates, what's the matter?" Mei Shengjia turned his head in confusion. It's not that he didn't remember the names of Chen Heng and others, but it's just that he doesn't have much friendship on weekdays, and it's not easy to call him brothers.What's more, it's just two ordinary boys, so there's no need for him, Young Master Mei, to humble himself.

It's just that his sentence "classmate" really made Jiang Yuanbai in the distance laugh out loud.This is to directly label them 'Xue Biao and other classmates'.

Chen Heng's face darkened. Although he and Mei Shengjia were the same age, they were taller than the other by more than half a head. Standing beside him was Qian Dayou, who looked very threatening.

"Student, you interrupted our literary agency." Chen Heng was not polite, cupped his hands, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Mei Shengjia blinked, and left without reconciliation.

"In a short time, Brother Su Zhao from our house will be back."

Wicked people have their own way, when Chen Heng announced Xin Suzhao's name, Mei Shengjia's complexion changed drastically, and she said "Brother Xue, I'll invite you to the restaurant when I'm free some other day", and then she picked up her robe and got up in a hurry.

He used to come to Xue Biao's house for a while before, but he couldn't leave.After a long time, it happened that Xin Suzhao was in a bad mood.

Hearing this chattering and nonsense person, Xin Suzhao couldn't bear his violent temper, and directly lifted Mei Shengjia out of the house with one hand.

Not to mention, after this incident, whenever Mei Shengjia meets Xin Suzhao, she can't help but bow her head and take a detour.

After the uninvited guest bid farewell in a hurry, the three bad friends stepped forward and started laughing and laughing around the person involved.The left sentence "Brother Xue" and the right sentence "We are your classmates, etc."

Xue Biao was not so polite to them, he just waved his hand to drive them away, and said angrily: "If you shut up now, I will take you out to have a good meal tonight."

"Brother Xue, Gao Yi."

"Taddi has the virtue of Mengchang."
