Chapter 510 The Talented Lady Xiangxue in Yining Plum Garden
"Interesting, what is the use of this literary skill?"
"It has many uses. Not only is it prestige and enjoys admiration from all directions, but it can also obtain a high position in Wenqiu. It can also be recommended as an official or recommended to a wealthy family as a guest. This is the best way out for literati. The royal family and wealthy families often
I will go to Wenqiu to seek talents, and my purpose of seeking talents is to ask the Eighteen Disciples for their recommendation."
Jiang Fan nodded. He was in a hurry last time and usually didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that there were so many things going on in the literary world and it had its own system.
But if according to what Nangong Xin said, this Lin father should not be Yan Congwen's group, nor necessarily the eldest prince's group. In this case, Lin Zhaoji's purpose of coming seems to be very simple, to visit the eldest prince.
But Jiang Fan always felt that there was something strange about it, but he had no clue for a while.
He had no choice but to tell Nangong Xin: "Pay more attention and see what Lin Zhaoji wants to do."
Nangong Xin nodded, but looked at Jiang Fan's face in confusion: "Sir, your disguise is no worse than that of Lin Zhaoji and Nie Xiaoli. Tsk, tsk, are you planning to play with this person as a woman?
Yining City?”
Jiang Fan glared at first, and was about to yell, when suddenly something came into his mind, this idea... doesn't seem to be impossible...
"Yining, are there any well-known talented women you know well? Someone who is good-looking and talented?"
Nangong Xin was stunned for a moment: "Well, it really does exist. The two most famous talented women here are both from the Su family, a large weaving family in Yining. The eldest daughter Su Chenxiang and the second daughter Su Rongxue are the best in poetry. Su Chenxiang, in particular, is as beautiful as a flower.
With outstanding talent and reputation, he is one of the important organizers of the Meiyuan Poetry Society."ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"Plum Garden Poetry Society?" Jiang Fan couldn't help but ask as this was the first time he heard about it.
Nangong Xindao: "Yining's literary style is also very prosperous. Because of its Jiangnan elegance, it is more popular among women. Therefore, the most prestigious women's poetry meeting in the Jin Dynasty is held here every year and every month during the festival. This is the venue.
It was built with funds from the eldest prince and his wife, and is called Meiyuan. Yining Meiyuan and Meiyuan Poetry Society are famous not only in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but also throughout Jiangnan."
"Plum Garden? It's a good name. It just so happens that the plum blossoms are about to bloom."
When I thought about it, I suddenly realized that I had been out for a long time.
And this year, I also traveled everywhere, Tangwu, Northern Xinjiang, Qingfeng Gorge, Moling, Yining... Oh, my hard life...
You must make Xiaocui make up for it when you go back. Mr. Jiang is a little aggrieved and a little cruel.
Mr. Jiang, who had always wandered off course, was thinking when he suddenly heard Nangong Xin say: "It just so happens that in three days it will be the great cold season, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the most important annual Plum Snow Poetry Festival in the Plum Garden will be held."
"Mei Xue Poetry Club?"
"Yes, this was founded when the eldest prince and his wife were young. The time is when the plum blossoms are in full bloom every year, which is usually around the time of the Great Cold. Not only all the famous talented girls from Jing'an County will come, but also talented girls from most of the Jiangnan region will gather here.
At this time, the Plum Garden will also be open to young men in the literary world, allowing them to come and participate in poetry gatherings. But the problem is that those without invitations can only enter the outer garden, and the inner garden can only be entered with an invitation."
Jiang Fan thought for a while: "So, as the first of the three most famous ladies in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Lin Zhaoji has no reason not to go. As the eldest prince, as a landowner, 80% of the time he will be invited."
Nangong Xin said: "That's natural. Lin Zhaoji is invited to the Mei Xue Poetry Festival every year, and this year will be no exception. As for the eldest prince, given his status, he will definitely go."
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes: "If I want to impersonate Su Chenxiang, is there any way?"
Nangong Xin understood that Jiang Fan wanted to enter the Poetry Society, so he took the opportunity to get close to the eldest prince and Lin Zhaoji. He immediately said: "Bind him! With the young master's method, if you leave in disguise, the fake one will be confused with the real one."
Jiang Fan gave him an idiot's look: "You just said that Su Rongxue is also famous for his poetry. The two sisters must be together. It's hard not to leak something."
Nangong Xin sighed, and then realized that he had been negligent. He thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult. It doesn't matter if you don't pretend to be. Can't you just get the invitation from the inner garden?"
"Oh? Do you have any idea?"
Nangong Xin smiled proudly: "Didn't I just say that the Su family is a large local weaving family and has frequent business dealings with my Nangong family, so I am very familiar with their sisters. Let me come forward and ask them for a
It’s not difficult to send invitations. I’m just afraid that they might worry about the young master’s poetry attainments.”
Jiang Fan couldn't help but smile and said: "Why worry about this? You can find a way to introduce me to them so that they can learn more about me."
Nangong Xin laughed loudly: "Well, it saves them from having their eyes raised above their heads every day and thinking that all men in the world are like this."
Jiang Fan thought for a while and suddenly shook his head: "No, no, the woman you want to introduce is... Jiang Ruochen."
In the Su family, Su Zhaoyuan brushed his beard with satisfaction and looked at his two precious daughters who were studying poetry, feeling infinitely proud in his heart.
When he gave birth to two daughters one after another, they all laughed at him for being childless, which really bothered him for a long time.
But who would have thought that as the two daughters grew up, they would not only be as beautiful as flowers, but also have outstanding talents. In particular, the older daughter Su Chenxiang would become the most talented girl in Jing'an County.
This also made him, a wealthy merchant family, become an upper-class family with splendid poems and books.
Literati and celebrities come and go every day, and young handsome men seeking marriage can queue up to the shore of Longjiang River.
No, Nangong Xin, the current head of the Nangong family, the richest family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, actually invited him to a banquet in person yesterday. You know, although the Su family is a local wealthy family, it is still very different from the Nangong family, which is among the top three of the sixteen families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
They are different, and their identities are thousands of miles apart. Especially in business, the Su family has to rely on the Nangong family.
The head of the Nangong family invited him to the banquet in person, which really flattered him.
At the banquet, Nangong Xin did not regard himself as the head of the family, but ranked himself by age and called himself uncle.
While overjoyed, I finally understood that Mr. Nangong wanted to ask for a few invitations to the Mei Xue Poetry Recital for the sake of his two daughters.
He agreed immediately without thinking.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Nangong said that the poetry meeting was a place for literati and elegant people, how could they tolerate people without talent? He then proposed to let the attendees see his two daughters.
This was of course a good thing, so he agreed directly on behalf of his two daughters.
The two girls were studying poetry. Suddenly, Su Chenxiang looked up and found her father standing with a smile on her face. She stood up and said, "I have met my father."
"Okay," Su Zhaoyuan nodded repeatedly: "Agarwood, Xue Rong, Mr. Xin, the head of the Nangong family, is here today. Please follow me to receive him."
Su Chenxiang smiled and said, "Is this what father said last night?"
Su Zhaoyuan said: "Exactly. Mr. Nangong is a big shot. We must not lose our etiquette."
Su Chenxiang said calmly: "Young Master Xin is one of the seven young masters of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He is naturally very talented, so the invitation will be sent to you. But he obviously has a family, but he is obsessed with a woman with fireworks, and he still wants to ask for a letter from her. It is really against the rules of elegance."
