In a whole day, the Yuyao scholars traveled to Hangzhou on the Sanming tiles.

Entering Hangzhou City before the city gate was closed, a group of scholars, surrounded by young servants and long followers, settled down in an inn in Beicheng.

All the affairs are handled by Mr. Zhang Bugui, Xie Shen and others only need to walk into the inn.Xie Shen is naturally happy about this, the feeling of being a hands-off shopkeeper is really great.

After a day of exhaustion, all the scholars were a little tired, so they hurriedly had some food and drink, and went back to their rooms to rest.

One night is nothing to say.

Early the next morning, Xie Shen woke up, rinsed his mouth and cleansed his face under the service of the book boy Chen Hu'er.The young man took a deep breath, put on a brand new lake blue straight gown, and put on a jet black headband, compared it with the bronze mirror, and then walked out of the guest room in satisfaction.

As soon as he left the guest room, Xie Shen met Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi who were equally energetic.The rooms of the three are next to each other, and they are all on the east side of the second floor, which is convenient.

After resting for a whole day, Wang Shouwen felt refreshed. When he saw Xie Shen, he smiled and said, "Did you rest well last night, Brother Shen Xian? I heard that Mr. Zhang is going to introduce us to see the world?"

Xie Shen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Where did you hear the news? Yaji is still seven or eight days away, why are you going now?"

The three of them chatted while walking along the corridor.

Wang Shouwen smiled mysteriously and said, "Didn't Brother Shen Xian know that there is a saying that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake? Do you think us foreign scholars from Yuyao want to gain a firm foothold in the Hangzhou Gathering and not visit local scholars?" Does it work?"

"That's reasonable. It's just this young master." Xie Shen hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "With this young master's knowledge, I am afraid that most of the people he makes friends with are not talented enough. How beneficial is it?"

It's not that Xie Shen looks down on Zhang Bugui, it's actually that Mr. Zhang himself is not up to date.In a place like Yuyao, where the literary style is at its peak, one should be a scholar under the influence of one's ears and eyes.But Zhang Datong is almost in his thirties, and he is still an old boy.
"A person is not judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured. Although Mr. Zhang lacks a bit in fame, he has a lot of friends. I heard that this time we are going to meet Mr. Bi Minghui."

Xie Shen asked with interest: "Young Master Bi? Is this person well-known in Hangzhou City?"

Wang Shouwen said indifferently: "It's not just that he is famous. This son is only twenty years old this year, but he is already a famous talent. His reputation in the Hangzhou literary world is even more famous than yours in Yuyao. But this Mr. Bi can't be completely regarded as a Hangzhou scholar. A local. He is from Suidu County, Yanzhou Prefecture, and his ranking in the township examination last year was very good, but this year he did not go to the capital to participate in the Spring Festival, which is really embarrassing."

After listening to Wang Shouwen's introduction, Xie Shen already had some preliminary impressions of this young master Bi.

19-year-old Zhongju, which is rare in the entire Ming Dynasty.After all, it is impossible for everyone to be a child prodigy like Li Dongyang, and being able to win the middle school at the age of 19 is already outstanding.

What puzzled Xie Shen was, since Mr. Bi had already been elected in the Qiu Wei, why didn't he participate in this year's Chun Wei?

Scholars all over the world, no matter how hypocritical they are, they can't deny the importance of being admitted to the gold list.It's really strange that Mr. Bi gave up his bright future.

"I heard that Mr. Bi has a rich family, rich financial resources, and many friends. He built a drunken man's residence in Hangzhou. He just talked and laughed. Attracted by the beautiful scenery, I decided to settle here.”

Xie Pi obviously also heard about the deeds of Mr. Bi, and talked about it with eloquence.

Hearing the two singing together, Xie Shen felt a little lost.This Mr. Bi became famous when he was young, with a wealth of wealth, and he is probably quite handsome. He is simply a rich and handsome man in the Hongzhi Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.Although Xie Shen is now tall and handsome, and his literary talent is not inferior, but he really can't be called rich.

There is no way, Xie Shen, who came from a poor family, has an inherent disadvantage, so he can only work hard to make himself and his family live a better life.

Surrounded by their respective servants, the three of them came down to the hall on the first floor of the inn, randomly ordered a few bowls of pasta, and went downstairs when Zhang did not return.

Xie Shen ate almost half of it, and only then did Mr. Zhang and his party rub their sleepy eyes and arrived late.

Zhang Bugui sat next to Xie Shen, cupped his hands apologetically and said: "I overslept, I hope the chief of the case Xie Shen will forgive me."

Among the people present, Xie Shen is the strongest, so he is naturally surrounded by stars.Whether Yuyao can overwhelm all the heroes in Yaji depends on the strength of Xie Shen alone.

"Mr. Zhang is too polite." Xie Shen smiled lightly and said, "I heard that Mr. Bi is going to visit Mr. Zhang's friend today. I wonder if I need to make some preparations."

His unique style can be seen from the fact that Mr. Bi gave up the examination in the year of Dabi. This kind of person must not be conceived with the eyes of ordinary people.

"That's true. Brother Yanchao and Zhang got acquainted by chance. Now that we're in Hangzhou this time, we should pay a visit. If you don't have anything else to do, why don't you go together?"

When Mr. Zhang mentioned Bi Minghui, he became excited.It can be seen that Mr. Bi is indeed talented, otherwise Zhang Bugui would not be so admired.

Xie Shen was also quite interested in this Young Master Bi, so he nodded and said: "Simply Xie has nothing to worry about, so let's go with Young Master Zhang."

"Haha, very good, very good. Chief Xie probably didn't know that the scholars in this province have already called you and this Mr. Bi together. The so-called Bi Minghui in the west and Xie Shen in the east of Zhejiang are exactly like that."

Zhang Bugui talked eloquently, but Xie Shen was very helpless.

Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty also liked to tout celebrities so much. The literati circles in the east and west of Zhejiang were not at odds with each other, and now they each have a leader in the literary world. Isn't this a big deal?

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a literary ranking list, otherwise it is really embarrassing.

In Zhang Bugui's view, the meeting of representatives of the literary circles from the west and the east of Zhejiang in Hangzhou was definitely a sensational event in the province.And Zhang Bugui, as a matchmaker, will naturally be talked about.

Zhang Bugui feels more and more that getting to know Xie Shen is a great blessing.Although it is unlikely that he has much attainment in the imperial examination, it is a special sight to be able to talk to the two great talents in the province with his back against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Seeing Zhang Bugui's eyes full of anticipation, Xie Shen seemed to understand something.

This Mr. Bi is from Suidu County, Yanzhou Prefecture, and he belongs to the Western School of the literary world, while he himself is from Yuyao, so he must belong to the Eastern Zhejiang School.

The Zhedong school in the literary world is divided into several major schools, including the Shaoxing school, the Hangzhou school, and the Ningbo school.

In contrast, there are Yanzhou School, Quzhou School, Chuzhou School and so on.

Could it be that Zhang Bugui wanted to join forces, with the Shaoxing faction in the east of Zhejiang and the Yanzhou faction in the west, which are well-known in the literary circles of this province, to jointly fight against those domineering scholars in Ningbo and Hangzhou?
