Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 59: Creating a Qin Society (Seeking Recommendation Vote)

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Feng Qingyan and Jiuge came to the top of the mountain near the wooden cabin.

Although he had not yet finished learning the Book of Songs, he had already read it and memorized it.

At this time, he did not recite immediately, but sat down to meditate first. After he finished meditating, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and gazed at the whitening sky in the east.

"Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight."

He was silent for a while and then he spoke in a very loud voice.

However, there was a lack of poetry and charm in the voice, which made him unable to find the feeling.

"The water chestnuts are of different shapes..."

His throat suddenly became stuck and he could not recite any further.

At this point, Feng Qingyan had to stop and calm down before reciting again: "The orioles are chirping on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman."

"The water chestnuts are of different shapes..."

His throat was clogged again and he couldn't make a sound.

After pondering for a while, Feng Qingyan simply stopped, staring at the east and stood quietly until the sun rose before leaving.

After returning to the cabin and having breakfast, we headed to the academy.

……

"Brother, can you join us in creating a music club?"

Before the bell rang, Mu Yu and several other musicians walked towards Feng Qingyan, their eyes full of anticipation.

"The Creation Qin Club?"

Feng Qingyan came back to his senses.

"The qin is the most important of all music. It is the most important of all music. It governs the dignity of the great elegance. It is related to the prosperity and decline of politics and religion, and is related to the evil and righteousness of people's hearts." Mu Yu said slowly, "The qin bans evil and returns to righteousness, so as to harmonize people's hearts. Therefore, the governance of a sage is to govern the body, cultivate emotions, and achieve harmony!"

Mu Yu paused, looked at Feng Qingyan expectantly, and said, "We have established a zither club. We play the zither to admire the ancient sages, correct our hearts to eliminate lust, and play music to seek friendship."

"it is good."

Feng Qingyan accepted without hesitation. After all, he was a young "qin player" with great ambitions. How could he not join a qin club? He said, "Music is cultivated from within; etiquette is cultivated from without. Etiquette and music are intertwined within and manifested on the outside. Therefore, the result is joy, respect and gentleness. A qin club should indeed be established. Does the lady have any rules?"

The 81 Confucian academies all had societies for playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. The zither societies at Sanshang Academy and the ten major academies were especially famous.

"I already have a few rules, but I still need your advice, senior brother." Mu Yu said with a smile.

At this time, the bell rang, and everyone stopped talking and walked towards the lecture hall. After entering the lecture hall, everyone knelt down in an orderly manner, waiting for the teacher to arrive.

After a while, Dean An walked in, surprising the students slightly.

"What I am going to talk about today is the Book of Rites."

An Xiu knelt down opposite the student, without a book in his hand, and said, "The Book of Rites is one of the important classics of our Confucianism. It records the etiquette systems related to coming of age, marriage, funeral, sacrifice, hometown, archery, court, and engagement. There is a saying that there are 'three hundred etiquettes and three thousand majesties'."

"Next, my Lord will hold the coronation ceremony..."

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

No matter whether it was the classics, history, and literature in the morning or the four or six arts in the afternoon, the instructor only lectured for one hour.

The students can freely move around in the remaining time.

After Dean An finished his lecture, the students did not leave immediately, but gathered in groups of three or five to chat.

"Everyone, we have established a chess club, and welcome people with aspirations to join."

Suddenly a student shouted, attracting a lot of attention.

"Everyone, we have established a painting club, with Mei Youfang, who is an excellent poet and painter, as the president. Welcome everyone to join..."

Another student shouted.

"Everyone, we have established a music club..."

"Everyone, we have established a poetry club..."

Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that within less than two days of enrollment, many students had already established various clubs such as chess clubs, calligraphy clubs, painting clubs, music clubs, and poetry clubs.

Oh, and I also have my own music club.

"Everyone, we have founded the Qinzhe Club, with the world-famous Feng Sanding and Feng Sandou as presidents. All Qinzhe players are welcome to join us." Another student shouted, startling Feng Qingyan.

"When did I become the president?"

Feng Qingyan couldn't help but ask Mu Yu who was beside him.

"If Senior Brother doesn't become the president, who can be the president?"

Mu Yu smiled and said that he didn't care much about the position of the president. In addition, in the minds of many zither players, Feng Sanding was the president. "Senior brother, being the president is what everyone wants and what people want. Please don't refuse and hurt the hearts of the zither players."

Feng Qingyan suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed, because he was not a zither player at all.

If I were really a qin player, being the president wouldn't be a big deal. It wouldn't matter if I had the ability or not, as long as I was famous...

but……

A person who has never even touched a zither actually became the president of the Zither Club of the 81st Academy. I'm afraid he would be laughed to death by the whole world.

It seems that at present, we should not only open the Wen Palace, but also learn to play the piano as soon as possible.

At this moment, Feng Qingyan really wanted to slap himself. Why did he talk about his youthful ambitions? It was indeed a lie. Even if he told a hundred lies, it would not make it up. There was no end to it...

"Please don't refuse, brother."

All the students bowed in unison, their eyes full of anticipation.

"Brother, if you don't become the president, I'm afraid no one will dare to be the president." Mu Yu said again, looking charming.

"Both the lady and Brother Fang can be the president."

Feng Qingyan looked at Mu Yu and Fang Wang and said.

"Brother, I am the vice president of the Qin Society, and Brother Fang is the chief qin master of the Qin Society." Mu Yu explained.

"What is the great zither master?"

Feng Qingyan was a little confused. The vice president was easy to explain, but what was the chief musician?
When Fang Wang heard Feng Qingyan ask this, his face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and he glared at Mu Yu with a little displeasure.

Seeing Fang Wang like this, Feng Qingyan became even more curious.

"The Grand Master is the best musician in the music club." Mu Yu smiled slightly, looked at Fang Wang and said, "It is everyone's wish and the people's choice for Brother Fang to be the Grand Master."

Fang Wang’s face turned even redder.

Feng Qingyan understood immediately. To let a zither player who was ranked third on the surface be the chief zither player, wouldn't that be...

No wonder Fang Wang blushed.

At this time, Feng Qingyan saw that he couldn't refuse, so he simply accepted it. He made up his mind that after opening the Wen Palace, he would let Jiuge take him to the mountains to secretly learn the qin...

I just don’t know when Qin Jun will become successful.

Mu Yu, Fang Wang and other zither players were delighted to see Feng Qingyan accept the position of president.

Since Feng Qingyan had accepted it, he planned to first clarify the structure of the Qin Club, so he asked, "What is the purpose of the Qin Club?"

Mu Yu, Fang Wang and other zither players were stunned for a moment, then shook their heads and said, "It has not been decided yet."

"Become Qin Jun?"

A student said weakly.

"Oh, that's right, this is a great ambition." A student echoed loudly.

When Feng Qingyan heard the word "ambition", he felt a little overwhelmed and helpless. He asked again, "What is the motto of the Qin Club?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"What are the principles and ethics of the Qin Society?" Feng Qingyan asked the third time.

No one had ever thought about this before.

"Girl, didn't you say that you have set the rules?" Feng Qingyan was a little surprised. Or did you mean that the Qin Club didn't need a purpose or motto?
"Uh……"

Mu Yu was a little stunned.
