The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 220
Su Wanqiu was amazed when she heard Wusheng's words.But after amazed, Su Wanqiu frowned seriously, patted her hand with her fan and said: "Although I can hear their discussion from sitting in this room, I still want to go outside to have a look, after all, I'm still at the scene I can listen to its voice and observe its appearance. Most importantly, I want to see what this gathering of talents is like? I want to discuss something so that I can learn more."

Shao Zhiyan picked up the teapot unhurriedly and poured a cup of tea for Su Wanqiu.I also poured a cup, picked it up, blew it gently, took a sip, and said: "What's the rush? Everyone hasn't arrived yet, so sit here, eat something, and drink some tea, okay? ? Do you think that this Gathering of Talents? King Wai Si said that it can be held? After all, people with the ability and integrity will not immediately be grateful to Dade's predecessor just because a prince wants to sit down with them casually and have a chat. here."

Su Wanqiu thought for a while and immediately understood the key point, so she asked with a smile: "Could it be that King Huaisi invited some of the great Confucian scholars of the dynasty to sit in his place?"

Shao Zhiyan put down the teacup, nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, King Huaisi visited the thatched cottage three times. He tried his best to invite Mr. Wen from the Qiancaotang outside the city. It's not too late for you to go down when Mr. Huiwen comes. After all Most of the people who come as early as us are not really capable people. Most of them want to use this to expand their network. So it’s good to listen to it above.”

When Su Wanqiu heard that Mr. Wen, one of the great Confucian scholars of the dynasty, was also invited, she nodded and sat down patiently.Judging from the sound coming from the copper horn, more and more people arrived.Wusheng opened more speakers.The sound from every corner of Wei Xianju came out from the speakers continuously.

Suddenly a voice caught Su Wanqiu's attention.The voice said: "Brother Bai, are you here? Brother Sun, why haven't you come yet?"

Another voice sighed and said, "Hey, I didn't see him either. I heard from his gatekeeper that Xiao Tian was detained by his grandfather and is kneeling in the ancestral hall. I don't know what he did to make his grandfather angry." I have no choice, so I came first. I just don’t know if he can come today.”

The voice said anxiously, "Then what about the invitation?"

Another voice said: "Brother Zhou, don't worry. The invitation is with me, and I have prepared it for you. If Xiaotian doesn't come, I will accompany you in."

The voice was full of excitement and said: "Okay, Brother Bai and Brother Sun are really troublesome. I will definitely treat you two to a good meal after today's banquet."

Their voices gradually faded away.After a while, the steward of the palace welcomed the door and said: "In the 21st year of Changhe, Zhou Ziyao was invited to the banquet. In the 20th year of Changhe, Bai Jinyan was invited to the banquet."

Just as the steward here finished reading the names of the two people, low voices of discussion came from the other speakers in unison.

A said: "Hey, Zhou Ziyao, have you heard? Ruiwenzhai has been selling some scriptures recently. The author also happens to be called Zhou Ziyao. Could it be the same person?"

B said: "Hey, that's right, that's right, my sister. I also bought a few copies. It really says Zhou Ziyao on it. And it's also said to be a juren. It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

B said: "I've read the book of that story. The literary talent is really good, and it's really not like what ordinary people can write. But it's really a waste to use it to write a picture book."

A said again: "Then it must be one person. But if this matter gets to the ears of the chief examiner and even the emperor, wouldn't he ruin his own future? He even asked the bookstore to type his name openly."

Ding said, "I heard that his family is very poor. I wonder if he uses the money for writing the script as a subsidy?"

B said: "Well, if you just write a Chinese book for money just because you are poor, you don't need to write your own name. His literary talent will definitely be planted next spring."

B said: "Hey, what are you talking about? Since he dared to type his name, he must have thought of the consequences. Maybe he just heard that King Huaisi wanted to recruit the Juxian Society, so in order to improve his reputation That's why it's done."

C added: "But he doesn't know the emperor of my dynasty. He has always hated these obscene words and bad tunes. Which literati in my dynasty dare to write love, love. Songs and songs like Yange Xiangliu? How dare he go Write a storybook. Isn't this self-destructive?"

A said: "Poor? Did you make a mistake? I heard that. He often invites the Gongsheng students in the Imperial College to dinner. And he either comes to this Weixianju, or to that Shiweixuan. There is a table in these two places. No matter what, it will cost seven or eighty taels. This is still called poverty.”

Ding said again: "Could it be the money for writing these scriptures? As far as I know, his family definitely can't afford the money."

Discussions like this came from the loudspeakers.Su Wanqiu lifted the hem of her clothes and walked to the opposite side of Shao Zhirong in a leisurely manner.Pick up the tea Shao Zhiyan poured for her.He blew on it, then took a sip.Although it was not obvious on the surface, she was satisfied in her heart. After all, this was the effect she wanted.

Don't Zhou Ziyao and Danmei want to step on her to gain fame and fortune?Then she will fulfill the wishes of the two of them, and give them their names and benefits, and it depends on whether they can accept it.Now Zhou Ziyao's reputation has been branded out.In two days, we will see if Danmei can become famous in one battle.

At this time, Shao Zhiyan said: "Could it be that you want to go to the lobby, and actually these two people are what you want to see?"

Su Wanqiu put down the tea bowl and admitted: "That's right, I just want to see. Will Zhou Ziyao be able to handle it after I help him make a name for himself?"

Shao Zhiyan nodded, and told Wusheng: "You take the young master to the second floor. Ask the shopkeeper to find a preset free partition for the young master."

Wusheng nodded and said to Su Wanqiu, "Please, young master."

Su Wanqiu was also polite, and after cupping her hands at Shao Zhihan, she quickly followed Wusheng to the second floor.The compartments on the second floor were still empty.In the lobby on the first floor, quite a few literati and students were already seated.

In the cubicle on the second floor, Su Wanqiu saw Zhou Ziyao walking into the lobby on the first floor.

As soon as Zhou Ziyao entered the lobby, he felt many eyes looking back and forth at him.These gazes made him feel very uncomfortable.Because in this gaze, he felt ridicule, maliciousness, and some even took pleasure in other's misfortune.This made him clenched his fists.

This made Zhou Ziyao very puzzled for a while.On weekdays, he didn't do anything eye-catching.And in order to maintain a good relationship with other people, he even dissipated all his money.But as soon as he entered this Xianju, there were so many unfriendly eyes.He didn't think he was famous enough to be known.

Bai Jinyan took Zhou Ziyao to find an empty table and sat down.As soon as I sat down, two people stood up from another table to sit and went to their table.
