The so-called elegant collection is the social circle of ancient literati, which is similar to the cultural salons of later generations, but its importance is incomparable. For example, the three elegant collections that left their names in later generations, the Lanting Elegant Collection in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Xiyuan Elegant Collection in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Yushan Elegant Collection in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. You may not know Sun Chuo, Xi Tan, Wei Pang, Sun Tong, and Li Chong, but you must know Wang Xizhi, Xie Anhe's "Preface to the Lanting Elegant Collection"; you may not know Wang Shi, Li Zhiyi, Chao Buzhi, Chen Jingyuan, and Wang Qinchen, but you must know Su Shi, Qin Guan, Mi Fu, Huang Tingjian and "Pictures of the Xishan Elegant Collection"; you may not know Gu, Yang Weizhen, Zhang Yu, Ni Yunlin, and Zhang Yun, but you must know Huang Gongwang, Wang Meng, Ni Zan, and Zhang Wohe's "Pictures of the Yushan Elegant Collection" among the four Yuan families. During the Zhizheng period of the Yuan Dynasty, one-tenth of the Yuan Dynasty, it became a good place in Yushan, and the scale of the Yuan Dynasty.

In the final analysis, there are always a few talents in nature, and the historical writing is small and sharp. No one can keep their names in the world. Therefore, the Yaji is more like a stepping stone. If you enter, you can jump into the dragon gate, be worth a hundred times the value, and you can sing poems and raising each other. If you are lucky, you can also hold on to the thick legs of some people and leave your name in history together.

Yaji is a circle where people outside want to go in, but people inside don’t want to come out!

With Xu You's reputation, even if the Xu family in Yixing is still a wealthy family in Jiangdong, they are not qualified to participate in such a grand event. Now that the family is overturned, they are not even qualified to listen behind everyone.

Gu Yun wanted to pull him into the circle of literati. Although he was kind-hearted, he took it for granted!

Xu You shook his head and said, "Feiqing is putting me on the fire and roasting me... Let me take it to see!"

"The letter is in the room, but it doesn't matter whether Qilang looks at it or not, because I have sent someone to reply to Gu Yun. Qilang will definitely attend this Qiantang Lake Yashui Festival!"

Xu You was stunned and smiled bitterly, "What's the reason?"

"Literary, at least the warriors will reassure the court!"

Xu You was silent, and only sighed for a long time later, saying, "Qiwu Congwen, do you really want to draw a clear line with Xu..."

"Apart from that, is there any other way for Qiro to become famous?"

"I just settled in Qiantang, would it be too early to gain a reputation?"

Xu You was actually ready to give up Wu and follow the literature, but he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to participate in Ya Ji now. He had not gained a reputation in the literary world. It would be useless to have Gu Yun support. He might even be humiliated by some people. Humiliation is nothing. At worst, he can just fight back. But in this way, it is inevitable that he will be too high-profile and will inevitably offend people. For Xu You now, it is better to have less trouble than more things.

"Qilang still remembers what I said before: I am not with me..."

Xu You looked at He Ru. He was always free and humorous, but now he was like an old man who was sad about spring and autumn. He knew that he was worried that his life would not last long. If he returned to the west before fulfilling his long-cherished wish, it would be a lifelong regret and he would die with his eyes closed!

"Okay, you should become famous as soon as possible. Then let the scholars of Wujun see if the Xu family in Yixing was a barbarian who never studied for three lifetimes!"

At this moment, a group of people walked in quickly and saw Xu You. They quickly knelt down and said, "Master Huang!"

"Get up! Report something, just stand up without kneeling down!"

"promise!"

He stood up, his face looked fearful, and whispered: "Someone came to the door just now and said it was from the Sili Mansion Wohusi..."

"What?"

The Winter Solstice suddenly changed in color, and he couldn't help but step forward and said, "Li Mu, say it again, is it really the Crouching Tiger Secret?"

"Yes, he showed me the cards and was indeed from the Crocodile Secretariat!" This troupe named Li Mu did not hesitate at all. It can be seen that he was very sure of what he saw with his own eyes. Unlike some servants who were timid and ambiguous when encountering things, trying to avoid the responsibilities he would bear if he made a mistake.

Details can show a person's character, and personality can determine the person's destiny!

The shadow of a person's famous tree and the three words "Crouching Tiger" make people shudder. The Winter Solstice frowned. She was responsible for the information, but she didn't know what happened when she was on the door. She was really dull and said, "Xiao Lang, the two disciples arranged by Meng Xingchun near Jingyuan have always been abide by the rules and have never appeared publicly. This time she suddenly came to the door, and I'm afraid something bad happened..."

"It's okay, it's a disaster! Please talk to the front hall and I'll go later!"

Li Mu went with a reply, He Ru yawned lazily and said, "On the contrary, I don't think it's a bad thing. Meng Xingchun has always been very polite to Qilang. He has no reason to come and cause trouble!"

"I hope so!"

Xu You reached out and the raindrops as big as beans hit the palm of his palm. Suddenly, there was a slight pain, and he said, "Winter Solstice, come to Fenghu!"

After a stick of incense, Xu You cleaned his hands and face, changed into a black linen robe, and packed it up like an ordinary Qimin. When he met with the people from the Sili Mansion, he tried not to give him a handle. He took Zuo Qi into the reception room, but saw the person in front of him laughed and said, "Langjun Wang, it turns out it is you!"

The person standing in the lobby was named Wang Fu. Xu You had had two dealings with him and was familiar with him. Wang Fu gave a bow and said, "I have met the husband!"

"No need to be polite, please sit down!"

The guest and host sat down, Zuo Shi stood behind Xu You, Lu Shuang brought tea from outside, and then retreated. Wang Fu did not look squinting, not moved by Lu Shuang's beauty at all. Xu You asked, "Just come from Wu County? How can you be in good health?"

"Yes, I just left Wuxian last night. I pretended to be a good person, so I asked me to ask my husband on his behalf!"

"I have to worry about it if I have time!" Xu You smiled and said, "I have nothing to do in Qiantang all day, I have a good meal and sleep, and my body is as healthy as the one I have to work hard day and night."

Wang Fu laughed with him and said, "The man is brave, who doesn't know about the world? The fake assistant is not good at martial arts. If you want to say that he is healthy, you naturally cannot compare with the man!"

Wang Fu is definitely Meng Xingchun's confidant to be able to demote himself like this. Xu You reached out to make an invitation and said, "You have come from afar, and the boats are exhausted. I specially ordered my servants to prepare a small wine to welcome you. Please, the back garden of this yard is still beautiful, so you can get drunk!"

Wang Fu admired Xu You from the bottom of his heart. Even if others were not afraid of Sili Mansion, they were at least worried or could not wait to find out the purpose of the visit. Xu You seemed to be nothing and was interested in drinking. As the fake servant said, this son was not a thing in the pool.

"My husband, I appreciate it. I just have official duties and dare not stay for a long time. After finishing the errands ordered by the fake assistant, I will immediately set off and return to Wuxian."

Xu You said in surprise: "So urgent?"

"There is no way. The provincial government is about to be moved, and officials are about to be moved. More than a hundred and a thousand people are involved? The Langjun may not know that Wu County is now in chaos and the Wohusi Department is insufficient. The fake assistant wishes to use us as subordinates as ten people. Even if we want to be lazy with Langjun, we don't have the courage to do this."

"You are a capable and naturally you have to work harder. Well, then I owe this wine to you first. I will ask for it when I have the chance in the future. I agreed that I can't refuse next time!"

"Okay, one word is certain!"

Wang Fu put his hand in his arms, turned his head and looked around, saying, "Please take your hand away!"

The left sway was as motionless as a mountain, holding a sword in his right hand, his eyes flashed, and staring coldly at Wang Fu's hand that was exploring in his arms. Wang Fu's eyebrows gathered, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, and it quietly unfolded again.

"Don't misunderstand me. I have no intention of not trusting Zuo Langjun. I just gave a false explanation. This matter should not be heard by a third party."

His face was filled with smiles. He took out a letter from his arms, stepped forward a few steps, and handed it to Xu You respectfully. It is said that the Crouching Tigers are arrogant and domineering, but Wang Fu has always been kind, but he doesn't know whether this kind of kindness is true or false, or whether it varies from person to person.

Xu You opened it and saw only a few words, saying that Wang Fu went to Qiantang to work and came over to visit his old friend. The meaning of this letter was just to tell Xu You that Wang Fu was indeed ordered to come and pass the message and could be trusted. I think with Meng Xingchun's rigor, there was really nothing to explain, and it was impossible to write it on paper. It was both naive and stupid.

"Don't mind Wang Langjun, Feng Hu is just worried about my safety, he is a little suspicious!" Xu You smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Feng Hu, you go down first, I will call you if you have any problems!"

Zuo Fu slowly retreated when he passed by Wang Fu's side. Wang Fu felt like a thunderous light, and his whole body was tense. It was not until Zuo Fu disappeared outside the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.

The person who forced Xi Yuanda to retreat with one sword should indeed not be underestimated!

"Tell me, what are the instructions for the Fake Zuo?"

"I dare not take it as an order. The fake assistant asked me to plead with you to attend the Qiantang Lake Elegant Festival in ten days!"

Xu You's thoughts were heard. As soon as Gu Yun's invitation arrived today, Meng Xingchun's subordinates arrived in Jingyuan. The joints in it were terrifying to think about it carefully.

"Oh, so Satozo already knows about this?"

Xu You pretended to be distressed and said, "For some reason, Gu Fu asked me to participate in the collection of scholars' elegant works. Wouldn't it be a joke in the world when it is spread? It must not be, absolutely not!"

"The fake assistant was afraid that the husband would have such concerns, so he ordered me to come to Qiantang overnight to spread the message. The fake assistant said that civil and military affairs were not different. All civil and military officials and generals were the humerals of the court, and they were indispensable. The so-called elegant gatherings are not only literati. It is reported that the Qiantang Lake Yakan was Zhu Fayan of Dade Temple and the Tianshidao Du Mingyu would attend. The Buddhist and Taoist families are outsiders, but they can rank among them, let alone young heroes like Langjun."

Wang Fu did not respect Zhu Fayan in his tone. He knew the details. It can be imagined that in Jinling City, Xiao Xunqi and Zhu Faqing should not deal with him much.

Xu You held his chin with his hand, pondering without saying a word, looking very embarrassed.

"The fake assistant also said that the people of Wu Zhong are mostly sour and corrupt. Wen cannot be dismounted and govern the country, and Wu cannot be used to govern the army. There is nothing to do with the intelligence and demeanor of the husband. If you can attend the elegant gathering, you will definitely make a splash. At that time, the world will look up to you, which will be of great benefit to the husband's future."

Um?

Xu You suddenly looked up and said, "What's the fool who said this?"

Wang Fu nodded and said, "That's right, every word is true!"

What exactly is Meng Xingchun going to do?

Xu You was deprived of his scholarship and demoted to Qi Min. It was an imperial edict issued by An Zidao's golden words and jade words, and there was no possibility of changing the course. However, the meaning in Meng Xingchun's speech seemed to be telling Xu You to raise his hopes well, and he might be able to return to his scholarship in the future.

Is this his purpose to make use of Xu You and make a boast about Haikou, or does he really follow the best intentions and point out a clear way for Xu You to turn the world around?

"The fake Zuo sent you here, it wouldn't be just to let me participate in the Yaji Festival?"

"This is the most important thing. Of course, in addition to this, the fake Zuo also wants to ask the husband to do a little favor!"

"you say!"

"I ask my husband to humiliate Lu Xu in public at Yaji. Whether it is using force or insulting, he will always be discouraged and will never be able to raise his head in Shilin, Yangzhou."

Lu Xu?

Lu Xu, known as the number one talent in Jiangdong?

Meng Xing is a fake assistant to the Sili Mansion's Wohusi. To put it nicely, he is the emperor's close servant, but to put it bluntly, it's just a lackey agent. How can he celebrate with a famous scholar like Lu Xu?
