A middle-aged man in green clothes stood by the lake, with a painting table in front of him and a brush in his hand, and he was concentrating on drawing something.

"Brother Shi Zhai is so elegant!" Jin Wang brought Zhang Jing to the middle-aged man, Jin Wang said with a smile and cupped his hands.

At this time, the middle-aged man had also noticed someone approaching, casually put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, turned around, saw it was Jin Wang, smiled and said in return: "Fuyuan, I was just thinking about what you want to do right now. Come here, it’s time to arrive..."

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Jing next to Jin Wang: "This must be Hongjian, he is indeed a talented person..."

While Shen Hangong was looking at Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing also quickly looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and saw that he had a Chinese character face, a dignified appearance, a slightly high hairline, and a beautiful gold-wired sapphire necklace on his head. His hair was tied up in a crown, and he had a short beard on both his upper and lower lips. It could be seen that he had been carefully groomed. He was wearing a casual blue feather coat and had a gentle smile on his face. He looked very kind.

"I've met Mr. Shen." Zhang Jing said hello to this middle-aged man. Before he came, he had been introduced by Jin Wang and knew that the man in front of him was the current talker of the Shen family, the largest gentry in Linzhou. Shen Bicheng's The eldest son Shen Hangong died.

"Come on, I knew you were coming, so I brought some good tea for you to try..." Shen Hanggong said, reaching out to the side. The waiter on the side had already set up the coffee table and seats, so the three of them sat down. , and soon, two good-looking maids placed a series of objects beside everyone: exquisite charcoal stoves, celadon water basins, iron kettles and a series of tea sets...

Finally, a maid in plain and elegant clothes knelt down and began to boil water and make tea with skillful operation.A little further away, another maid carried a simple hollow incense burner and placed it there. After a while, a faint and elegant smell began to spread around.

Jin Wang was obviously used to this, but Zhang Jing had never seen this kind of aristocratic behavior before and found it quite interesting.

..............................

The three of them started chatting about the scenery they saw along the way. As the atmosphere gradually heated up, the topic quickly turned to the kidnapping that Jin Wang and Zhang Jing's tour group had encountered while in Nanzhao. Zhang Jing could feel that, in fact, This is the main reason why Mr. Shen meets him...

It can be seen that the relationship between Jin Wang and the Shen family is closer than he had previously expected. In addition, his performance before and after the Nanzhao public sale is indeed somewhat legendary. This should This was also the reason why Shen Hangong was willing to meet him.

In fact, Zhang Jing is not on the same level as Shen Hangong in terms of wealth and social status. However, in his speech, he did not feel any sense of being looked down upon.

It must be said that this is a very easy-to-like figure. He treats people like a spring breeze and does not have the slightest arrogance of a high-ranking disciple. On the contrary, he is very humble and courteous in his words, talks and laughs calmly, and has no airs.

Even though Zhang Jing, as a time traveler, has two lifetimes of life experience, he can't help but feel a little more favorable to him in his heart.I secretly admired that this contemporary helmsman of the Shen family was indeed a person.

About 10 minutes later, a waiter came in a hurry and whispered a few words into Shen Hangong's ear. Zhang Jing heard it clearly, as if to remind him that there was another video conference.

Then, when Shen Hanggong nodded and waved his hand, the waiter bowed and left.Then I saw Shen Han standing up with a respectful smile and clasping his fists at the two of them: "I'm busy with worldly affairs, and I have a video conference scheduled to be held, so it's not good for people to wait for a long time."

"Brother Shi Zhai, you can go on your own. Hongjian just needs me to accompany you."

"Mr. Shen, please feel free to do so."

"Hongjian is here for the first time. Let Fuyuan accompany you for a tour. There is quite a lot to see in this Qingyuan. We will have dinner in the building at noon. In the morning, some fishermen caught fresh fish from the lake. I asked them to prepare a few special dishes. Try the skills of the chefs here." Shen Hangong patted Zhang Jing's arm and told him.

After that, the three of them said goodbye again, and Shen Hangong turned around and left.

After Shen Hangong left, Zhang Jing and Jin Wang did not leave immediately, but continued to sit there and chat while enjoying the lake view.

Looking back on the conversation just now, everyone kept the conversation to a standard, and nothing serious happened. It seemed that this tea was really just an "introduction" as Jin Wang said.

But even so, Zhang Jing still appreciates Jin Wang's favor. He knows that his brother deliberately wants to bring him into the upper class circles of Jiangdong. Although he may not fancy this kind of "support", but As far as Jin Wang is concerned, it is indeed out of good intentions.And this kind of opportunity is indeed what some people crave for.

After the boss left, the conversation between the two became more casual.

Jin Wang talked to Zhang Jing about the origin of the Lake View Tower by the way. According to him, this Shen family's villa was actually a regular gathering place for Linzhou's top gentry, usually twice a month. All the prominent figures come here to have tea and talk.One is to communicate feelings and exchange opinions, and the other is to communicate some events that require the gentry to coordinate their positions.

Such as handling some joint family businesses, responding to famines, providing relief, dealing with government apportionments, and many other matters...

From this, we can also see the difference between this world and Zhang Jing’s previous life. In many aspects of social operation, the gentry class has replaced some of the public functions that belonged to the government in Zhang Jing’s previous life.

After the two chatted for a while, Zhang Jing, led by Jin Wang, began to visit the surrounding area in a strolling manner...

Chapter 176 Third Young Master

Compared with the private gardens that Zhang Jing visited in his previous life, most of the private gardens in this world are not open to the public. The various facilities, objects and plants in the public scenic spots are, in comparison, less sophisticated. This kind of carefully constructed private garden is much different.

If we do not consider the cost of construction and maintenance, simply from the perspective of living and appreciation, living in such a garden is actually quite comfortable. Every flower, grass, stone and tree has been carefully selected and matched, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling. a feeling of.

In addition, as a Jiangnan garden, there are large areas of water here, and what is particularly rare is that the lakes and ponds here are all living water drawn from Yun Lake, which also makes it possible to often see waterbirds soaring by. Zhang Jing and even He felt that if he lived here, it would be necessary to prepare a fishing rod. It would be a good idea to fish in his spare time. After all, in his previous life, he had two fishing rods at home, and he would occasionally go out to catch a round.

At noon, we had dinner in a small hall of Wanghu Tower. During this period, we met several gentry. Zhang Jing went there to meet them after Jin Wang introduced them.

As Shen Hangong said, most of the dishes are based on Hu fresh food. Considering that Jin Wang and Zhang Jing are both from Linzhou, they use the light style of Linzhou local cuisine.

"This Yunhu Vinegar Fish, other big stores in other places only buy mandarin fish. The mandarin fish does have fewer spines, but it is a little less fresh and tender. The old method is still used here, and all the fish used are freshly caught. Yunhu grass carp doesn't have any earthy smell. The chef here has a secret method to remove the spines of grass carp, but it tastes fresh and tender. You might as well try it more." While eating, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard in the ears, Jin Wang He ordered a piece of fresh fish drizzled with oily sweet and sour sauce on a large white porcelain plate on the table and introduced it.

After Zhang Jing heard this, he picked it up with chopsticks. The fish meat was so tender that it could be touched and broken. What was especially strange was that there was not even a tiny thorn on it. Zhang Jing immediately praised it a few times.

Jin Wang also became interested when he heard this, and introduced a few more dishes to him. As Jin Wang explained, Zhang Jing gradually understood that it turned out that there was a small fishing pier in the corner of the villa, so the villa needed all the food. All fresh fish from the lake are caught directly from Yun Lake.This made Zhang Jing think of the somewhat vague term "special offer".

....................................

After lunch, Zhang Jing and Jin Wang sat for a while and then decided to leave.The two of them left Wanghu Tower while chatting.

The two of them had just walked out of the main entrance when a handsome young man walked towards them. He was wearing a dressy gray windbreaker and a jazz hat, holding a cigarette and looking quite Westernized.

"Third Young Master." Jin Wang stopped and held his hands in salute.

"Hey, Fatty Jin. What's going on? Come to see my big brother if you have something to do?" This young man had a rather cynical temperament. He looked Jin Wang up and down and said with a smile.

"The main thing is to bring Hongjian here to visit my eldest brother."

"Oh?" The young man was startled when he heard the words. His eyes instantly came to Zhang Jing. After a brief look, he reached out and took out the cigarette in his mouth. He held it between his index and middle fingers and nodded at him with a smile: " Are you Zhang Jing? That lucky boy?"

"I know you. Huh? It is said that you made 5 million in the public market this time?"

Zhang Jing smiled slightly, but did not answer anything and remained silent.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and slapped Zhang Jing on the arm.After that, he looked at Jin Wang again: "I said, Fatty Jin, take me to some public market sometime and let me bet on my luck."

"Third Young Master is joking..."

"Hey, remember, I'm not joking..." As he said that, the young man turned around and walked into Wanghu Tower without looking back.

Sighing, Jin Wang led Zhang Jing to continue walking towards the outside world.

"That was Shen Hanming, Shan Weng's third son just now. Shan Weng had three sons, and the second son died unexpectedly in his early years. This third son is the stepmother, and he once studied in Holstein. But..."

Jin Wang thought for a while and said carefully: "Hongjian, if you come into contact with the Third Young Master in the future, you should be more careful. The Third Young Master is not as good as Brother Nai Duo in terms of reputation..."

"Thank you for reminding me, brother, I know it."

承和36年西历2016年1月21日09:06云山坊张宅

"Special event: You released the original music "City in the Sky" on "Shell Music" under the stage name "Yuluo Tianmen"...

You and your song are currently... ...weaker perturbations.

A total of 30624 wishing points were added. "

"Special incident. Some strange incidents occurred in Gangneung Haiyun Building, which attracted the attention of relevant departments. With the intervention of the police and the military, the truth behind the incident began to be exposed. Thanks to your intervention, the incident was finally solved, you Killed the demon 'Sprite' that emerged from the seal.

Your behavior has attracted the attention of relevant departments and launched an investigation.

At present, the incident has been produced into a video program "Lao Cai Talks News" and broadcast on multiple online platforms.

Your actions have led to major changes in some people's understanding of materialism and Taoism, and have caused a weak disturbance in the underlying consciousness of the world, which is still expanding.

A total of 70916 wishing points were added. "

As usual, after finishing today's morning exercise, Zhang Jing went to the bathroom to take a shower, then wrapped himself in a bathrobe and summoned the wish book, sat at the desk, and began to observe the recent changes in points.

To his slight surprise, the wish points for songs seemed to have increased significantly recently. He opened Shell Music to confirm, and then found several unread notifications in his mailbox. When he opened them, he found that the platform had indeed I arranged a round of recommendations, no wonder the results were good.

In addition, the platform also informed him that there have been some copyright authorization requests for film and television drama soundtracks recently, and they hope to obtain commercial authorization for his music. Regarding this, the interface person Ke Youbi will discuss this with him in detail.

Zhang Jing did not rush to talk to Keyoubi about commercial licensing, but continued to study the text under the wish.

As expected, the Haiyun Building incident has begun to unfold, and the video shot by the residents has begun to spread as he expected.

However, judging from what he has observed, the official has begun to control public opinion, so this kind of spread may not last long...

While Zhang Jing was thinking about it, he opened the "Youle" video platform on his mobile phone and searched for "Lao Cai Talks News". He soon found this account. The operator of the account is Jiangling Zhoujian Feixiang Culture Co., Ltd. and watched Looking at the attention, it is a big account with more than one million attention.

But when he clicked on this account and searched for his latest program, he found that the latest program was broadcast on January 1th. This was definitely not a program related to Haiyun Tower.

Zhang Jing simply clicked on the latest episode, which was the one on January 1, and read the comments below. Sure enough, many people left messages there.

"The one on the 18th was harmonized?"

"Where's the latest issue? I want to see..."

“It’s really blocked!!!”

"Fuck, I'm a step late, I didn't see it..."

"If anyone has the video of that issue, please send it to me. My email address is..."

"…………"

Zhang Jing looked through the comments and roughly guessed the situation. It was obviously blocked by the platform.Zhang Jing then searched again for the keyword "Lao Cai Talks News". Among the programs found, he skipped the official account and looked at the other accounts below. Sure enough, he quickly found someone discussing the 18th. Other programs of "Lao Cai Talks News".

According to Zhang Jing’s experience, most of these news and commentary programs plagiarize each other’s opinions and make assumptions. Therefore, as long as a certain news opinion is explosive, other similar programs will rush to gain popularity. This situation is difficult to prevent. Yes, it is difficult to completely suppress public opinion in the short term just because a certain video is blocked.

In fact, this is also one of the difficulties in controlling public opinion in the Internet era.

About 10 minutes later, after piecing together several clips from similar news and so-called "rational analysis," Zhang Jing roughly understood what was actually said in the latest issue of "Lao Cai Talks News."

After that, he searched on the Endless Internet and found that most of the video programs in that issue had indeed been deleted. Even some reprints had been deleted, but there were still discussions in some forums. , after all, this is inevitable.

There are even many people who are upset because they have not seen the current program, and they post their email addresses in the hope that someone will send them a copy of the program. I think this kind of private communication will continue for quite a while.

Zhang Jing turned over the wishing book and confirmed the latest wishing points. A total of 176389 points were left. It should be said that the current points remaining were relatively generous.

Finally, Zhang Jing subconsciously looked at the previous notice informing him that the mandatory test was coming. As always, there was no change. So, Zhang Jing withdrew the wish. At present, he was not ready to withstand the test.

Zhang Jing took a bottle of tea for himself, opened it and took a few sips, then sat back at the desk. Next, Zhang Jing opened Qianluo.

As expected, Ke Youbi has already left a message for himself. The general message is not much different from the notice in the website. The main reason is that the crew of a certain literary and artistic film fell in love with Zhang Jing's music "Missing Through Time" and wanted to put it into the music. As an important soundtrack in the TV series, I hope to obtain commercial authorization from Zhang Jing.

In addition, there is another crew who also took a fancy to another piece of Zhang Jing's song "The Rotten Grass Is a Firefly", hoping to slightly adapt it and use it as the ending theme of their online movie, hoping to get Zhang Jing's praise. Commercial License.

Zhang Jing took a brief look and decided to agree. There was no other reason. His main purpose was to expand the popularity of his music as much as possible. As for income, it was currently not within his scope of consideration.

Chapter 177 The Heavenly Master’s suicide note

Of course, because he was relatively new to this industry, Zhang Jing still asked Keyoubi about the specific details of how to operate.

But Yubi happily explained the relevant details to him.

Because Zhang Jing did not agree when Ke Youbi "sold" Constellation Entertainment Economics Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Qianluo Interactive Entertainment Group, to Zhang Jing, so Zhang Jing is still in a state of not having his own economic company.

This makes the licensing contract this time more complicated. Zhang Jing needs to sign a licensing agreement with Shell Music first, authorizing Shell Music to have the right to act as an agent for Zhang Jing’s music licensing matters.

Previously, the contract Zhang Jing signed with Shell Music mainly focused on a series of agreements when publishing on the Shell Music platform and obtaining related income, and did not involve agency authorization.

And this time, since this business is involved, this part of the contract needs to be filled. After the authorization is successful, Shell Music will take 30% of it as service fee. As for the licensing fee, it will generally be paid according to Shell Music. at the standard price.

For example, the total authorization fee involved in the two authorizations involved by Zhang Jing this time is about 6000 yuan. To be honest, such an amount is really not a big sum of money for Zhang Jing at present.

This kind of contract is not an economic contract. The two parties do not have a series of mutual obligations such as promotion and cooperation. It is just that when there is a need for authorization and you find Beike, Beike can act on behalf of the author to make relevant commercial authorizations.

And if Zhang Jing independently authorizes external parties, he can also do so without going through Beike's agent.

Generally speaking, the terms of the agreement on the part of Beike are relatively fair. This may be because of its recent expansion efforts and its "grabbing people" from its competing product platforms.

Zhang Jing had no objection to this and directly decided to sign a contract with Keyoubi. Soon, the electronic version of the contract was sent over. After Zhang Jing signed electronically on his mobile phone, the authorization was completed.

The rest of the matter will be left to Shell.

After finishing the work on Koyoubi's side, Zhang Jing put down his mobile phone, took out a stack of A4 paper from the desk drawer, and put it on the desk.

Each of these papers was printed in color with high precision. What was printed on them were simple brown pages. Many of the papers were densely packed with comments.

These are the manuscripts in the silver box that Zhang Jing took out from the Tianshi's tomb last time. In order to preserve the manuscripts, Zhang Jing took photos of them separately.Afterwards, for the convenience of translation, Zhang Jing printed it out, which is the thick stack of A4 paper in front of him.

From the perspective of information security, after materializing it, Zhang Jing deleted all the photo backups on his mobile phone and used special software to smash the remaining traces.

Although, as far as fonts are concerned, there is no difference between traditional and simplified characters in this world because there have been no major changes in cultural inheritance. The characters on these pages are different from the characters Zhang Jing commonly uses today, except for the individual differences in some characters. Except for the difference, for most characters, the difference is not big.

However, after all, it was written by the ancients more than 1000 years ago, and there are big differences in writing and terminology between ancient and modern times. In addition, when the author wrote, he did not consider the factors of third person reading, so some words were relatively illegible. Therefore, Zhang Jing still had a lot of effort when reading.

As for such things of unknown origin, he could not directly pay scholars to translate them. He could only buy "Cihai", "Shuowen Jiezi", "Appreciation of Ancient Chinese Allusions", "Qishu Comprehensive Reading" and "Qishu Comprehensive Reading" online. Reference books such as "Study on Folk Religion in the Qi Dynasty" and so on, and then interpret it word for word.

After spending more than ten days, Zhang Jing had a general understanding of what was written in this manuscript, and today he will complete the translation of the last ten pages.

About half an hour later, Zhang Jing raised his pen, read the notes written next to it, and nodded with satisfaction. He finally completely translated the hundreds of pages of the manuscript.

Turn the manuscript to the first page and rearrange the pile of manuscripts. Under the desk lamp, you can see the following words:

"The teachings of the sages are to learn extensively and treat them with courtesy. It is also said that the sun will know their death, and the moon will not forget what they can do. This is why this record is written. From dawn to dusk, from childhood to old, I will place it on the right side of the seat. , writing is used to understand, writing and conduct are related, so new things are found, and virtue will be promoted and the industry will be broad..."

As mentioned above, this is a diary, the private diary of the Heavenly Master Song Shouxuan.This thick stack of pages narrates the major and minor events experienced by Heavenly Master Song Shouxuan in his life.In addition, you can also get a glimpse of many aspects of Xuanmen and even the court in that era, and even secrets.

Zhang Jing stretched out his hand and stroked the pages of the book, flattening them, then took a lever clamp, aligned the edges of the stack of papers, and clamped them so that they looked like a book.

Such things, even if they do not involve Song Shouxuan himself, have deepened his understanding of Xuanmen. I think that if it fell into the hands of scholars who specialize in this field, it would probably be able to unlock a lot of so-called historical facts. Mysterious.
