Chapter 36: The Shame of Shilin

The matter was over. Although Tang Song was longing, he did not return to Lumen Mountain. After all, three days later, the Longhua meeting should begin.

The morning before the meeting, the Tang family sent two messages one after another. The first one was a guy dressed up in a guy looking for Liu Mei, in order to notify and remind her to attend the Longhua High Conference on time the next night, and to determine the performance of the repertoire dance.

The second group came with a note from the state yamen who was wearing soap clothes and red-wrapped belly. The note looked inconspicuous, but the content was full of the dreams of scholars in Xiangzhou. The note invited Tang Song to the Han River tomorrow to enjoy the beautiful scenery and write poems on the clear stream. Below the note, there was a handwritten name from the governor of the state and someone else's coach.

Seeing the words "Looking in Qingliu to write poems" on the note, Tang Song had nothing to say. He was struggling here, but Tang Daren's excited old face shone because of this letter. This was the invitation letter that the governor and the other person wrote. Tsk tsk, the ancestors appeared, muttering and talking to himself that no one could hear clearly. Tang Daren was so excited that he finally felt his eyes wet.

Tang Song was speechless about this. This old man really couldn't talk about him. A few days ago, when Tang Daxin photographed him 20,000 yuan in front of him, he didn't see the old man so excited!

Tang Song really felt that Tang Daren was a little difficult to understand. It was precisely because of this difficulty that Tang Song knew that he would never be able to truly become a Tang man, let alone an authentic Tang Dynasty scholar.

What imprints in your bones cannot be changed. He is, and will always be, a later generation covered in the Tang Dynasty.

In the rest of the day, the entire Tang family was chaotic by Tang Daren, who was the quietest in the past. The fatherly love that the old man had been silent for too long exploded. He cared about his son's clothes for the first time in ten years, and was so meticulous that he cared about. Even if his daughter changed the sleeves of his brother's clothes according to his wishes, he had to stare at him personally.

Tang Song was also tortured by him. He shouted seventeen times in less than an hour, and every time he came to the front, he explained some nonsense that he didn't need to explain. In the end, Tang Song could understand that the old man had no useful things to explain. He was so excited that he was too cruel and crazy. If he didn't make such a move, his heart would not be quiet.

Tang Song saw this and decisively slipped out of the house. Old man shouted from behind and never looked back. He found the largest Wanke restaurant in the city and ate the best Hedong grape wine, watched the performances of six singers and dancers, and enjoyed the blue-eyed beard who was working on the shop door. It was not until the night fell that he returned home in the crooked moonlight.

It was good to sleep all night. The next morning, Tang Song washed up and changed into the scholarly uniform that had been troubling for most of the day yesterday and had already left the house so that the old man would not be blocked by the crazy man again.

After fine breakfast, Tang Song walked out of the southern gate of Xiangyang as a car. Xiangzhou has been a transportation fortress since ancient times, and is known as the gathering place for southern ships and northern horses. In front of him, boats of large and small docks are parked interlaced. It is really a mast sail into the forest, and the boatmen are like rain. In addition, the water birds flying by from time to time between the sails on the water surface are really a bustling scene.

In this dock area where the ship is docked for more than ten miles, the best water surface seems extremely spacious. In the meantime, only a wide-crowned saut with a flat bottom was parked. The boat was extremely large and slow, but it was better than stability and luxury. It was a great thing to visit the river and enjoy the distance.

Tang Song came earlier, and most of the people who attended the meeting today had never arrived. He handed out the notes and climbed the flower oars and looked around. He saw the ancient city of Xiangzhou and the Xiangbei Plain in the distance. There was only an indescribable majestic scene between the water and the sky.

Seeing the good scenes to be enjoyed, Tang Song walked towards the observation deck transformed from the top of the cabin of the Hualu. While walking, he suddenly saw two boatmen gathering together in the shadow of the cabin on the side of the Hualu. He glanced at him inadvertently but always felt a sense of familiarity, but suddenly he couldn't remember it.

Until he climbed to the observation deck and looked at Chu Tian, ​​a light flashed through his mind, and he remembered that these two people had indeed seen each other. When he was invited by Zhang Qiyu to take Liu Mei to Yanshan, he first met Qingxue, and then almost collided with these two people at the corner of a mountain path.

The reason why I can remember these two people who met only once was sharp, in addition to the sharp look, was that the two of them were dressed so special at that time. Why did they become boatmen again now? And the appearance of the two people just now seems a bit sneaky now.

I saw these two people at the literary meeting twice... Tang Song walked to the side of the observation deck and leaned down and looked, and the two people were gone.

In just a while, scholars in bright clothes arrived one after another. A few of them were built in Lumen Mountain. After getting on the boat, these people looked at Tang Song on the observation deck casually and showed a shocked expression.

With the spread of the Tang Yuan case, Tang Song was really well-known in Xiangzhou during this period, but the situation was still the same as the last time when "there is a golden house in the book". Although there were praises in the market, Shilinli sneered at it.

A scholar who went to court regardless of his identity and started a lawsuit against others was shamed enough to make the saints dressed. Not to mention that he was still exposing others' secrets in court, there was still a little bit of scholars who were truly elegant. Tang Song really threw away the faces of the scholars in Xiangzhou.

In the end, the scholars came to a public conclusion: the shame of the scholars in Xiangzhou for fifty years is no better than that of Tang Song!

Everyone knows what happened today. Although there are less than 30 participants in this party, the entire Xiangzhou Shilin is paying attention. Therefore, all of these people who received the notes are excited. Although they have not eaten wine, they are already floating in the air, as if they are drunk.

But their excitement full of glory was poured into cold water by their heads. They actually saw the shame of the scholar in such a level of literary gathering, just like seeing a fly during a banquet at Wanfu Wanshou Tower in Chang'an. Such things would not have appeared in that place no matter what.
