The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 75 Gathering

When Chu Feixue learned that Xie Changan had flatly rejected their marriage, she couldn't help but feel hatred. She secretly made up her mind to kill the female secret guard beside Xie Changan.

Unfortunately, she couldn't get into the East Factory, and the secret guards all wore masks and came and went without a trace. She couldn't catch anyone at all, let alone poison her.

Valley Master Chu was helpless, fearing that Chu Feixue would ignore the matter and cause trouble in the capital city where powerful people were everywhere, so he forcibly brought her back to the valley. Shen Muchun and Xie Changan both breathed a sigh of relief.

One is that he finally doesn’t have to worry about his junior sister bothering him!

One is that I finally don’t have to worry about the little girl getting angry again!

Both of them felt the same way.

Longmen Yaji was the first to open.

Jiang Li secretly sent a message to Nangong Qinghe, asking him to find a talented scholar who could serve as the "host of the elegant gathering". Nangong Qinghe handed the matter over to Cui Jue.

Cui Jue then realized that the boss behind Longmen Trading Company was also the King of Jin's man. He couldn't help but secretly admire that his grandfather had made the right bet!

Li's Trading Company is making huge profits, Longmen Trading Company is earning a fortune every day, and the King of Jin has money, people and military power, so why should he worry about not accomplishing great things?

I heard that the elegant gathering was also the idea of ​​the boss behind the Longmen Trading Company. It must be said that this boss is also a very far-sighted strategist.

Once the elegant gathering begins, talented people from all over the world will gather there. In the future, King Jin will naturally be able to get the support of scholars from all over the world. The right time, right place and right people are all in place!

Elegant gatherings were a very familiar thing for the children of aristocratic families. Cui Jue invited his cousin Cui Jing, who was full of knowledge, to serve as the "host of the elegant gathering".

Cui Jing was indeed talented. As soon as he joined, he arranged the affairs of the Longmen Gathering in an orderly manner.

As the "host of the elegant gathering", he sent out invitations to talented scholars all over the world:

"In ancient times, there was the Lanting Gathering, and now there is the Longmen Gathering. On this auspicious day, I would like to invite you to join us in this grand event, to make friends with poetry and to entertain guests with literature. I hope you will take the time to come and give us your advice!"

The Qinghe Cui family was so famous that when they heard that Mr. Cui was appointed as the "Gathering Master", Longmen Gathering was flooded with guests as soon as it opened.

Especially the candidates who were going to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, all of them flocked to it. This elegant gathering was a great place for them to make fame and make close friends!

As you enter the lobby, you will see two carved plaques with large, flamboyantly written characters on them. It is said that they were written by the contemporary calligrapher Bai Lian Jushi - "picking golden laurel from the moon palace, and leaping over the dragon gate". In the middle is the name of the elegant gathering - "Longmen Elegant Gathering".

There are dozens of sets of sandalwood tables and chairs placed in the center of the lobby, with intricate and exquisite carvings.

There are paintings and calligraphy by famous artists hanging on the wall, which were sponsored by the Cui family of Qinghe. Each of them is priceless.

Directly in front is a small stage used for singing and dancing performances, or as a talent show.

On both sides of the lobby, there are study rooms, tea rooms, chess rooms and piano rooms.

In the study, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged with various classics, and the four treasures of the study are placed on the desk, making it convenient for talented scholars to improvise.

In the tea room, chess room and piano room, you can drink tea, play chess, and if you are in the mood, you can even compete in piano skills.

All the elegant things that scholars need are available here.

Cui Jing stood on the high stage and bowed deeply to the packed hall: "This is the first time for this elegant gathering, and all the talented people are here. I am honored! It is a great event for us literati to gather together and make friends through literature! I hope you can speak freely, use writing as a medium, and poetry and wine as companions, and enjoy this elegant event together."

Cui Jing is less than 30 years old. He is talented in writing and has a refined temperament. He exudes the elegance and nobility of a child from an aristocratic family. The scholars and talents who enter the gathering immediately feel that this place is extremely classy and elegant.

His opening remarks won applause from the hall.

Cui Jing smiled slightly and announced the theme of today's gathering: Three Friends of Winter.

"Pine trees stand proudly in frost and snow, bamboos are hollow and have joints, and plum trees stand alone in the cold. I hope you will paint with your brushes and ink to depict the beauty of winter."

All the talented men of letters began to conceive, some reciting poems, some composing essays, some painting, all hoping to make a splash on the opening day of this elegant gathering.

In the private room upstairs, Nangong Qinghe, accompanied by Cui Jue, watched all this with great interest.

Nangong Qinghe's eyes were filled with excitement: "After today, Longmen Yaji will surely become a blockbuster and become famous in Dachu!"

Cui Jue praised: "The boss of Longmen is really a great talent. I wonder if Jue has a chance to meet him?"

Hearing him praising his sweetheart, Nangong Qinghe felt a little sweet in his heart, "It is not appropriate for her to show up at the moment, but there will be a day when that happens."

Cui Jue was very good at observing people's facial expressions. He keenly noticed that when King Jin talked about the owner of Longmen, his eyes were full of tenderness and affection, and he was shocked.

Could it be that this Longmen boss is actually a woman? Is she the one that the King of Jin loves?

But he has always been serving Prince Jin and has never seen any woman.

Cui Jue asked tentatively: "I wonder what kind of person this Longmen boss is? Jue really admires him very much."

Nangong Qinghe was lost in thought: "Gushe Immortal, this is probably the best."

In his heart, A'li is the goddess sent by God to save him.

Cui Jue was surprised and became even more curious about the Longmen owner who was like the "Gushan Immortal" in the words of the King of Jin.

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "Please tell Brother Cui Jing that I will cover the cost of compiling the book."

Cui Jue cupped his hands and smiled, "Your Highness, this is a very kind move!"

The Longmen Gathering was a huge success, with many wonderful works appearing on the opening day.

Cui Jing compiled these masterpieces into a book and published it to the world.

For a time, Longmen Yaji became a holy place in the hearts of scholars.

It is said that the pens, ink, paper and inkstone for the elegant gathering were all provided free of charge by the Prince of Jin, and the monthly collection of excellent works was also all sponsored by the Prince of Jin. His reputation gradually spread among the literati.

Jiang Li has another important purpose in organizing this gathering, which is to guide public opinion.

On this day, among the candidates from other places who gathered at the Longmen Yaji, some talked about the "Guifan Zhuan".

"Is the rumor true? The book "Guifan Zhuan" was actually plagiarized by the Imperial Concubine?"

"Are there any Shanxi candidates here? Is there really a person named Lu Youliang?"

There is actually a scholar from Shanxi here.

He said indignantly: "Indeed, there is such a person! Lü Youliang was quite famous in the local area. For some reason, since the book "Guifan Zhuan" was published, Lü Youliang and his family have disappeared without a trace!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Could it be that he...has been silenced?"

The Shanxi candidate said, "I heard that he went to Jiangnan to live with his relatives, but there has been no news since then, not even a single word has been sent back."

Now, everyone believed that Lu Youliang had most likely met with an accident.

This rumor became more and more intense, and all the scholars and talented people gathered in the capital were filled with indignation.

Scholars hate this kind of "plagiarism" the most, not to mention that in order to claim other people's works as their own, they actually kill people to silence them and cut off the roots!

As the imperial concubine and the mother of the King of Qi, can you disregard human lives and act recklessly?

As a result, all the candidates were outraged and jointly wrote a letter to the emperor, asking him to investigate the matter and severely punish Concubine Zhou and those involved!
