Chapter 8 The Seventh Grade of Fate Cultivation (Part 1)
There is a library in the east of Luoyang City, which has been open for many years.
The library is called Luopu. It is said that because the founder once studied on the banks of the Luoshui River, he opened a library under the name of Luopu.
People in Luoyang call him Mr. Luopu.
Mr. Luo Pu's knowledge is average and his reputation is not very good.
He had a bad background. When he was young, he got a turbid official rank. After ten years of work, he finally got promoted. He happened to have been usurping the Wei Dynasty when the Northern Zhou Dynasty usurped the Wei Dynasty. As a result, ten years of hard work turned into a stream. The teacher was in a downturn, but fortunately he was rich in his family. So he opened a library in Luoyang City, which specialized in collecting all kinds of scholars' transcripts since the Han and Wei dynasties, and his business became more and more prosperous.
The collected books are copied and sold.
Over the past few decades, Mr. Luopu has passed away, but Mr. Luopu has inherited the family business.
Perhaps because of the lessons of Mr. Luopu, Mr. Xiaoluopu has lost his career from the beginning and focused on running a library. Since taking over the second year of Kaihuang, it has been more than twenty years in a blink of an eye, but Mr. Xiaoluopu's reputation has become more and more famous.
For rich aristocratic children, they would like to come here to be artistic, buy a few high-priced books, and go back to fill their storefronts.
The poor scholar came to read books, and Mr. Xiao Luopu would not drive him away. When he was pleased, he might even give him a few more books. After a while, Mr. Xiao Luopu's elegant name became more and more famous. Even if he did not have any outstanding talent, he did not leave any poems. However, when the scholars in Luoyang City saw him in five or six, they would call him "Mr.".
Mr. Xiao Luopu was also quite proud of this.
"I heard that Banyuanjun has a new work."
Two scholars sat in the library and chatted unconsciously, talking about an interesting thing that happened two days ago.
The new Silitai Biejia, Dou Wei, the clan of the Hedouling family in Luoyang, suddenly visited Wang Tong.
He handed a letter to Wang Tong and said, "Half-Yuanjun, Mr. E asked Wang Tong for advice."
One of the fragrant poems and ten poems made the audience moved. Everyone knows that although poetry is a path, it tests the most talent. Since the rise of Jiangzuo learning style, most people have been fond of gorgeous sentences. Therefore, the requirements for poetry have become stricter, and the level and tone correspond to. Among them, the most difficult thing is to meet poems, which is not only a test of talent, but also a bit urgent.
It is not difficult to write a poem to write, but the difficult thing is that it is extremely difficult to write several poems in a specified time.
As the elder of the Dou family, Dou Wei is now serving as a Luoyang Bianjia in Silitai, so this fairness can naturally be recognized.
Besides, Yan Qing did not just write poems, but also wrote a sketch to challenge Wang Tong.
Are you confident?
If so, first respond to my challenge, and then teach me a lesson. Otherwise, it would be like painting bamboo. If you don’t have this ability, you will be humiliated suddenly. As for you, I can’t afford to take on my two charges. Buddha also seeks money, I am just a common thing, so what’s wrong with seeking money? You say that my heart is so clear and dangerous, I dare not take it. I am just a child, and I don’t have the talent of Zhengmao. But can you really have the knowledge of Saint Confucius?
An article did not say a word for itself from beginning to end, but every sentence was refuting.
Even in the end, even sarcastic and sarcastic, Wang Tong, you are just a person who seeks fame. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?
The poems and essays are obviously written by another person.
Although Du Ruhui is not a famous scholar, he is also a child of an official family. Therefore, many people know him and also know that he has a very good relationship with Yan Qing. However, no one would suspect that an official's child would shelter others and commit perjury.
This involves a question of character and virtue.
The influence of the remaining styles of the Wei and Jin Dynasties is still there, and character and virtue are still the foundation for scholars to establish themselves.
Since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of villains in this world. But villains are villains and will be exposed in the end. If Du Ruhui doesn't want to mess around in the future, it doesn't matter if he does perjury. But he will always go to the court in the future, and Jingqing will eventually grow up. What's the use of perjury?
Wang Tong's face was flushed when he was held at the banquet, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Dou Wei said: "Wang Sheng can also set the topics by himself, but there is no need to use bamboo to write poems. If one fragrance is ten poems, even if Wang Sheng, you pass the test.
It is limited to ten days. If Wang Sheng does not respond within ten days, he should be considered as a loss.
All of you here can testify. I wonder if Wang Sheng dares to respond to this proposal?"
Everyone here nodded repeatedly, thinking that Dou Wei's proposal was very appropriate and there was no deviation at all.
Even to some extent, he was biased towards Wang Tong.
Within ten days, you have plenty of time to do your homework. If this doesn't work, it's really embarrassing.
But some smart people realized that Dou Wei was sophisticated.
In ten days, even if Wang Tongzhen's poems are in full bloom, he may be at a disadvantage in the eyes of outsiders, regardless of whether he did it or not.
I heard that the Banyuanjun and the Dou family have a good relationship, but now it seems that it is true.
When the two scholars talked about this, their position had shifted to Zheng Yanqing's side without realizing it.
"It's a good thing that Wang Tong is from a famous family and is also praised by everyone in Xue. But he bullied a child for nothing. In my opinion, he is jealous of the virtuous and capable."
"Very good, very good!"
Another scholar agreed: "Although Banyuanjun is a strange boy in the world, he is just a young boy. You say that he is a man of Wang Tong, who is as old as a man, goes to bully the child if he has nothing to do. What if he wins?"
Another scholar came over and whispered: "In my opinion, he probably won't win."
"Yeah yeah!"
Three or four scholars gathered together and commented on Wang Tong in a long and talkative manner.
No wonder Wang Tongming is good at not only being from a famous family, but his father is also a famous scholar. In addition, he has become a teacher of many famous scholars, which makes many people feel jealous. In comparison, although Zheng Yanqing is also from a famous family, he is young, and he is just a branch. He is not a father or mother, and he can gain sympathy even more with a disabled grandfather.
Besides, Ban Yuanjun is real.
What else do you, Wang Tong?
I leaned against the door and worshiped several good teachers. Even if there was one Xue Daoheng and everyone praised you, no works were spread.
As one rises and the other falls, Yan Qing has already gained the upper hand in public opinion.
At this time, a few people walked out of the backyard of the library. The leader was Mr. Xiao Luopu, holding two scrolls in his hand, and looking happy, walked to the counter.
Four people behind him, two holding books, one holding a box.
Mr. Xiao Luopu nodded and greeted several scholars, then asked someone to put the book down and handed the scroll in his hand to one of the guys.
"Go, hang these two characters up."
"Mr. Lopu, what books have you printed here?"
"Oh, I got a volume of "Dongshan Collection" a few days ago, so I copied fifty volumes. This was not just copied and has not been sorted out yet."
"Dongshan Collection" was written by Xie An, a famous minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Xie An's courtesy name is Anshi and his pseudonym is Dongshan. The most famous incident was that it dominated the Battle of Feishui and led to the collapse of the Former Qin Dynasty.
Xie An’s writings are not widely circulated, so they are extremely precious.
When the scholars heard that this stack of books was a collection of Dongshan, they immediately became interested and walked up to them.
The smart scholars noticed the actions of the servants. They took down the calligraphy and paintings on the wall facing the library gate, first hung a portrait of Mr. Luo Pu, and then hung two scrolls on both sides of the portrait. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
