Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 215

The businessman's words and deeds were somewhat overreaching, Chen Yili frowned, and was seen by everyone, they all understood the meaning, kept silent and watched the businessman dance alone.

Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng rubbed their hands together, the businessman panicked when they saw it.It was about to start a fight. At this time, Sun Youcai came out to persuade him.He is the sponsor and one of the organizers. If he messes up here, he will inevitably leave a bad impression in Chen Yili's heart.If it is handled well, it can save face.

"Calm down, both of you. Everyone who comes here is a guest. It doesn't matter if friend Xu is from Luonan..."

"Oh? What you said..." Zhang Linye stared, he heard what Sun Youcai said, and still suspected that Xu Qing was a liar.

"Okay, okay, friend Xu is from Luonan," Sun Youcai said, "But just now, the county captain didn't recognize friend Xu, so it's really suspicious."

"No, no, he is the only one who knows the truth of the county lieutenant, so how can it be used as evidence?" Shangguanyi said: "To verify Xu q~, whether the sixth brother Xu Chu is from Luonan, we need a notarized one. "

"Brother You Shao, wouldn't it be too much to mobilize so many teachers and people just for one household registration?" Sun Youcai was displeased because Shangguanyi interrupted him.

"Hey! What you said, just now he wanted to drive my lord out, didn't he want to mobilize the crowd? Now it is, your face is so thick!" Yang Cheng lifted the hem of his clothes and scolded, before An Jing was gone. When it is quiet, there is a breath of "doctor".

"The words are rough and the truth is not rough. This matter is related to my friend's reputation. It's better to distinguish clearly!" Shangguanyi said in a deep voice.

"Okay, tell me, what can be used as a notarization?" Sun Youcai was annoyed: "You can't be the only one who knows about this, Shangguanyi, everyone must know!"

"This matter is easy to hear," Shangguan Yi said: "It is said that there are many people who have heard the news but never seen each other. Just let the two of them tell anecdotes about Xu Gong's life. In this matter, not only I can tell the truth from the false, but Chen Gong can too! "

"This..." Both the businessman and Sun Youcai hesitated, and Sun Youcai hesitated because he calmed down and remembered that Chen Yili was still beside him, and his expression was too ugly just now.

The businessman hesitated because he had never met Xu Qing at all, and he only heard about it just now.It was only because everyone mentioned Xu Qing just now that he took advantage of the trend and used his hometown to win attention.I thought enough was enough, and I left after I made a profit, but who would have thought it would become like this?

It's all the fault of those three meddlesome ghosts. If the seat is robbed, just grab it. Go and get it back by yourself. Let me take the lead!

The arrow is on the string, and the narrow road meets, how can you show weakness?Thanks to the businessman's decades of experience in business, his heart and mouth were united, and his eyes rolled, and a vivid story came out.

"Cough cough, let me say it first..." The businessman said: "It's strange to say this. It is said that Master Xu Qingxu liked to wet the bed when he was young. Hey, bed-wetting, who didn't pee when he was young? But Mr. Xu's urine is different. , the sheets he pissed on, if not washed, it will be a landscape painting after drying!"

The people next to me were surprised.

"That day, Mr. Xu, alas, I'm rude." The businessman covered his mouth, saying that the anecdote about "Mr. Xu" was not good, and continued: "Mr. Xu wet the bed again, and the sheets were drying. A wandering Taoist came over. Pointing to that pissed painting, I was shocked and said that Xu Gong will be the one who founded the sect in the future!"

The people around said it was no wonder, but Xu Qing glared at Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng, mouthing, "Don't laugh, if you dare to laugh, I won't introduce girls to you."

Sun Youcai clapped his hands and said, "Well, this matter is impressive. Although it's weird, there are so many strange things about strange people. According to Mr. Xu's great talent, it may not be true hahaha..."

Others followed suit, yes, yes, this must be true.The businessman was very happy, and couldn't help admiring the eloquence he had honed over the years, saying what was not there.

It's just that Xu Qing, Shangguanyi, and Chen Yili all sneered.

Everyone realized that something was wrong in an instant, and saw Chen Yili waving his hand and saying, "Sir, please go!"

"Please go? Me?" The businessman asked, pointing at himself, obviously in disbelief: "Why, why?"

"Mr. Xu is not a native of Luonan. He moved to Luonan after he made military achievements in Shandong. How could what you said be true?"

"Ah? Lord, please forgive me." The businessman hurriedly knelt down to apologize, and the others also blinked, not knowing why the situation had developed like this.

"Hmph, today's Wenhui, don't care about your mistakes, you go, if I see you planting others again, I will punish you!"

The businessman fled in despair, and a few more people left quietly, leaving resentfully.Although the businessman left with his tail between his legs, there were still many people who were hostile to Xu Qing.

Most of the people who participated in this kind of literary meeting had circles. The so-called Confucian businessmen were a circle, and people like Sun Youcai were the leaders.One is a scholar outside the school, and the other is Chen Yili's own student.Three circles joined the Wenhui, one contributed money, one contributed, and the other helped, and the Wenhui was turned around.If Xu Qing moved people in the circle, he would naturally be hostile.

At noon, some porters brought up fat fish from the West Lake in buckets, and some picked up local wild vegetables. A cook cleaned them up and held a banquet with wine.

It's just that this banquet was only enjoyed by some people, such as those who contributed money and effort, and many people could only leave with excuses, such as those who helped out.

Now there are more than 30 people left, and five tables have been set up. Naturally, Xu Qing sat down to eat the dishes "shamelessly". The fish is good fish, and the dishes are also fresh.But once you taste it, it's quite different, not to mention bland, it's too fishy.

It turns out that these literati pay attention to nobility, fragrance, and don't eat onions, ginger, and garlic, so this fish is very fishy.

This time, Xu Qing became a gentleman.Eat small mouthfuls, eat a few mouthfuls, stop eating,

Drinking again, drinking to help Evans think, Xu Qing also took a sip.However, he is not good at drinking or tasting wine, so he can't taste it.

When the wine is half drunk, it's time to write an article.

Since ancient times, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. The literati are used to despising each other. Therefore, at the literary meeting, there is always a fair person to be upright. This talent has learned to be judged by people who are respected by all parties.The status and prestige of the upright person is also often related to whether a literary meeting is valued by others.Chen Yili likes to be such an upright person, and he is indeed able to convince the public, and his literary talent is also of high status.

Seeing that everyone stopped, Chen Yili pondered for a while, raised a glass and said politely: "The article is the great cause of the country. Among them, the detailed ones are the big ones, and the brief ones are the small ones. I like the small ones the most. As you go."

Everyone nodded, and Chen Yili went on to say: "Comment on the article, I secretly think that if you don't know the life of the ancients, you can't talk about the words of the ancients. This official knows the reason, but does not know the situation, so I dare not make rash comments."

Everyone knows that Chen Yili's words are self-effacing, so as not to offend others when he has time to comment on the article.

As soon as Chen Yili was demoted to modesty, someone would naturally promote him.So Sun Youcai said: "The county lord, the ancients said: 'When a gentleman is in his position, he wants to kill his official. If he doesn't get the position, he wants to modify his speech to understand his way.' It’s too late for me to be grateful for enlightenment, so just say it.”

What Sun Youcai said was so clever that everyone was surprised when they heard it. Xu Qing also thought that he couldn't see that he could say such a thing, and he must have found someone to catch him.After Sun Youcai finished speaking, everyone agreed in unison. Please Chen Yili don't think about it for a while and comment at will.

Seeing that everyone said so, Chen Zhixian nodded with his beard, then looked at the West Lake from afar, and said to everyone: "Today is a literary meeting next to the West Lake, and everyone will write an article each, using a leaf as a picture, a It is limited to the stick of incense. Let me take a look at the masterpieces of the three Wu talents."

Everyone agreed that it was true, and their own servants brought in the case.After saying "please go first", the scholars took their seats.Xu Qing was also dragged into a case by Shangguanyi.

When it came to the desk, everyone wondered if the piece of paper mentioned by Chen Zhixian was as big as it was on the desk?With this little paper, you can write at most two to three hundred characters, and the limit on the space is too strict.

Before everyone could think too much, a maid lit incense sticks in front of Chen Yili and everyone.

When the scholars saw this, many of them were flicking their brushes, while some remained motionless, closed their eyes and meditated, as if they were drafting.

For Xu Qing, this essay meeting was just a formality, and it was Shangguanyi's good intentions.But Xu Qing's stinking handwriting is not even comparable to Xu Qi's, so it looks good when written.

So Wuqian thought that he should not write it at all, and then hide the blank papers while taking advantage of the chaos, and just deal with it.

When he was in Cangzhou, Xu Qing also wrote such social articles, especially after he wrote the "Book of Encouraging Farmers" and "Sacrifice to Crocodiles", many officials and scholars came to ask him to write articles, hoping to use them as calligraphy treasures and hide them at home. Stay with the family.

At the beginning, one or two was fine, but Xu Qing couldn't stand it when there were too many people asking for it.

Over time, Xu Qing handed over these social works to Huang Shimei, and Xiaoyue and the others to deal with them, or to Qin Shi and the others, and said that they were for him to practice pens.

Later, Xiaoyue and Qin Shi were also tempered, so that the articles written in response to the situation were very smooth, and it was almost as easy as picking up a pen, and Xu Qing didn't need to waste his brain at all.

But now, they're not here, Zhang Linye and Yang Cheng are also Ma Daha, and Shangguanyi sits far away, so he can't even shout.

Bite the bullet, Mr. Dong Guo has to act like a little bit. Xu Qing raised his waist, pretended to pick up a pen, and spread a piece of paper.

One stroke on the paper, oh, and the ink needs to be rubbed!
When Xu Qing was about to sharpen the ink, he frowned. It turned out that the four treasures of the study, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, were missing in front of Xu Qing.

How can Xu Qing write without ink?Even if Xu Qing is full of knowledge, he can't bite his fingers and write blood books!

So Xu Qing could only put down his pen and sit with his hands on his knees.

On the other hand, people on the left and right were writing vigorously, especially Sun Youcai, who wrote a hearty, [-]-word article, which forced him to write with the momentum of tens of thousands of words.

Sitting among these people, Xu Qing looked a little dull like this, as if he had run out of talents, could not prepare any articles, and had to hand in a blank paper.Right now, half a stick of incense has passed, and everyone present has stopped writing, only Xu Qingku sat where he was
