After Wen Xiaowan left, Shang Di made a pot of tea.
He frowned slightly, looked at the rising tea smoke, and murmured, "A master wearing a bamboo hat killed Lu Lianying with a single sword... There must be only one person in Guangling City with such skill!"
"Wu Xichen!"
"Who are you helping, old man?"
His eyebrows twitched suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Could it be Li Chen'an?"
But after a while, he shook his head again, "This Li Chenan has no grievances with the Jianghu, and even more so with the Yulonghui... He is neither from the Lijing Division nor from the Huangcheng Division...Wu Xichen This old thing..."
He poured a pot of tea, held it up and blew it, thinking that it would be the best if Wen Xiaowan could recognize the young man after a while, otherwise, he would have to go to Taohua Villa to meet Wu Xichen tomorrow.
Because that list is extremely important to the Imperial City Division!
The fourth princess of the Lijing Division came to Guangling City once, but left before Song Yuanping died. I think she didn't come for that list.
The Guangling branch of the Lijing Division has not had an embroidery envoy for a long time, and it is unknown that the Lijing Division will appoint anyone to be the embroidering envoy here.
While Shang Di was thinking about these things, many students had already come to the venue.
What these students are talking about at this moment is not the possible theme of today's essay meeting, but Li Chenan's peach blossom wine!
There is really no way to change the topic, because even in this square, you can see the three words peach blossom stuffed everywhere!
It's too hot for eyes!
"Profanity!"
"This is Chi Guoguo's blasphemy!"
Some students lodged a solemn protest
"The Guangling Dragon Boat Festival has been held for hundreds of years! But everyone, have you and your parents and grandparents ever seen such absurdity at this moment?!"
"Scholars cultivate their character with literature, and they should stay away from the smell of copper and get close to poetry and articles!"
"But what about here? In my eyes, everything here is painted with big silver coins!"
"Then Li Chen'an won everyone's attention for his peach blossom wine, but he has tarnished the nobility of this literary club!"
So, some people raised their arms and shouted, and some followed suit.
Huo Shufan frowned when he heard this, this is not what he expected!
He hoped that Li Chen'an would make Taohua Niang's name as famous as possible!
So he whispered some instructions to the students around him, and those students dispersed one after another, going to the place where the discussion was the most exciting.
"Why are you arguing? Li Chenan's daring to play this banner is enough to show that his peach blossom brew is good!"
"Literati not only need to understand poetry and articles, but also can't live without wine, right?"
"If you can drink his peach blossom wine to your heart's content, and then write a poem, this is the noble thing for us literati!"
"Besides, since he was able to produce these things here, it is obviously with the consent of the merchants!"
"Who are you, Master Shang? Even the old man didn't object, so why don't you object!"
As a result, the voices of those making trouble gradually became much smaller. These people thought that Li Chenan was not pleasing to the eye, and they didn't want to let go of this matter, but now that they think about it, that's right, everyone in Shang didn't say anything. Wouldn't it offend the merchants?
Just when everyone swallowed this matter to their stomachs, another rumor spread among the students and quickly exploded
"What? There are three judges in this essay meeting who are related to him, Li Chenan?"
"Did he go to the island yesterday to meet Master Shang?"
"No, the words of his tavern were really inscribed by Mr. Hua himself, and even the name Hua Pingchun was named by Mr. Hua... Mr. Zhang Pingju, the scholar of Guangling City, also studied under Mr. Hua's door for half a year? Didn't the four judges all turn towards Li Chen'an?"
"Isn't that right! This Li Chen'an is simply shameless in order to be famous!"
"Cheating, this is blatant cheating! My son must report to Jia Fengxian, the academic and political officer of the Jiangnan province! Although he, Zhang Pingju, is also a student and political officer, he is under the management of Jia. If he cheats so openly, please ask Jia My lord wrote to the imperial court to dismiss Zhang Pingju as an official, and deprive the two principals of Takeshita Academy and Qianmo Academy!"
"That's right, that's right, what Mr. Shi said is very true, we are going to write a letter to the people, please Master Jia find justice for us!"
"..."
The effect is amazing.
Even before the literary meeting started, Li Chenan's name was already stink.
Along with the unlucky ones are his father Li Wenhan, and of course Zhang Zheng, the dean of Qianmo Academy, and Pingju, the academic and political chapter of Guangling City!
Huo Shufan showed a bright smile.
Ning Guo attached great importance to literature, especially the fairness of the literary world.
Although this is just a literary meeting in Guangling City, its impact is huge. If the injustice of this literary meeting really spreads to the ears of those civil officials in the capital, it can be heard in the sky!
If the emperor decrees to punish... These three people, even the old man Shang Di, may not be spared.
If it works better, even Hua Manting will be implicated!
This arrow has shot many eagles!
Li Chenan!
Huo Shufan narrowed his eyes slightly, "You fool also want to stand up!"
"You fool also want to fight my Huo family!"
His pupils shrank, revealing a touch of the lunar calendar, "This young master not only wants you to be ruined, but also wants you to die without a place to bury you!"
These rumors became more and more intense, and Su Muxin, who was in the midst of them, of course heard it, his heart sank suddenly, of course he knew how these rumors would affect Li Chenan.
Suddenly, he grinned, shook his head, and looked at the furious students with a sneer in his eyes.
Li Chenan is amazing!
Originally, I hoped that he could come here and write a good song to take the leader, but now it seems that it is best for him not to come.
These words naturally spread to the Accord behind the square.
There are four people sitting in the Accord at the moment.
They are Li Wenhan, Zhang Zheng, Zhang Pingju, and Jia Fengxian, the academic and political master who came from Pingjiang City, the provincial capital.
Jia Feng frowned first, this is not a trivial matter.
He looked at Li Wenhan, "What's going on?"
At this moment, Li Wenhan was also secretly glad that his son Li Chenan was not here today.
This calmed his originally very disturbed heart a lot.
He bowed his hands and replied, "Master Jia, they are spreading rumors to slander my son Li Chen'an!"
"Why do you think they are spreading rumors and slander?"
"Go back to your lord, because my son didn't come to this literary meeting at all, so where did the theory of cheating come from?"
Jia Feng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of those students...
He came from Pingjiang City to Guangling to participate in this literary meeting, and he was originally entrusted by Huo Xi, the head of the Huo family.
Huo Xi took his grandson Huo Zi back to Pingjiang City to discuss the marriage of the two families with Master Cao of Jiangnan Weaving. It happened that Cao Fa's son was his disciple. Huo Baiyang, the prince's close minister in Kyoto, left a good impression, so he came here.
And also asked Zhang Zheng to invite Li Chenan.
He originally wanted to criticize the poems written by Li Chenan and demote Li Chenan to nothing, but he didn't expect that Li Chenan didn't come at all.
When he thought about it, those students criticized Li Chen'an, of course they were so frightened that Li Chen'an didn't dare to come, but this made his plan come to nothing, which is really infuriating!
But those students who don't know it are still making noise at the moment, and their books have all been read into the stomachs of dogs!
Seeing that the essay meeting was about to start, Shen Qiaodie finally realized something was wrong.
"Shufan, have you seen Li Chenan?"
