Many years later, when people recalled the Xu Family Spring Gathering in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, they would presciently say that this was a link between the past and the future, and the beginning of a new Jinling atmosphere in the literary world of the Ming Dynasty.
But for people who were at that time, when reflecting on and summarizing after the gathering, the feeling can only be described as weird. The style of the painting started to be weird in the prologue, the process was also full of weirdness, and the ending was even more weird.
The set of tools that the old alliance leader had been using for decades actually didn't work at all, and was deconstructed to the point of being completely damaged by a strange elementary school student.
People lament that some capable young people nowadays are really willful and self-absorbed. They don't care about tradition at all, and they don't bother to follow the rules and make progress according to the rules set by the elders.
As for the famous poet Wen Zhengming who presided over the finale of poems with separate rhymes, it finally regained a sense of normal routine, but in the end, the recognized masterpiece appeared on the sidelines.
In order to preserve the handwriting for a longer period of time in the wind, sun and rain, the shrewd Madam Chen specially installed a blue gauze cage on the wall to cover the two poems.
Even Wang Fengyuan himself said that if you are a friend, don't mention it again. If you mention it again, you will go to Chaotian Palace to become a monk and learn Taoism!
For this reason, Wen Zhengming ignored Qin Dewei's sixty-year-old age and went to Qin Dewei's residence to block the door, demanding an explanation.
The door was really blocked. After all, Qin Dewei's house had just been smashed and the door panel had not been reinstalled. Wen Zhengming was standing in the doorway. No one could get in or out, and no one dared to push him away.
But Qin Dewei was also very innocent. He was the one who wrote a few words of "falling flowers" in front of Wang Lianqing's house. He didn't even want to be in the limelight at the gathering and had already left.
Then who would have thought that you, the old man, would actually give others the question of falling flowers later. I can only say that everything is God's will and coincidence.
Anyway, the seal will not be returned. I have done everything I promised, so why should I return what I got in exchange for my ability? Besides, it is considered as the mental damage fee that Wen Hengshan deliberately made himself sick.
There were people watching the music outside the door, and a few people gathered and pointed.
Because there was no teacher in the school, Xu Shi'an, who didn't have to go to class, ran over again. When he saw this scene on the street, he knew that there was excitement again.
I still don’t understand, it’s just an old man blocking the door, not like Kuo Shaohao slave knocking on the door a few days ago, why Qin Dewei doesn’t dare to take action?
Qin Dewei inside couldn't get out, and Xu Shian outside couldn't get in either.
Qin Dewei was afraid that Xu Laosan would lose his temper and hit the old man, so he quickly introduced Xu Shian through the door: "This is Mr. Hengshan, don't be rude!"
Xu Laosan, a member of the military attache family, looked confused. Isn't Hengshan the Five Mountains?
Seeing this, Qin Dewei added: "Tang Jieyuan is his brother!"
Xu Shi'an suddenly realized it and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mr., do you still accept apprentices? I've heard that Tang Jieyuan can play!"
Qin Dewei: "Brother Nai's brain circuit is definitely not ordinary.
Wen Zhengming was also speechless, but he was idle, so he jokingly said: "I will give you a couplet to see your qualifications."
When Qin Dewei heard this, he just wanted to cover his face. Wen Hengshan was really ignorant and fearless. With Xu Laosan's qualifications, even he couldn't stand it, and he was afraid that he would make the veteran talent vomit blood.
Although Wen Zhengming said he was writing a couplet for Xu Shi'an, his eyes were fixed on Qin Dewei. As the saying goes, Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong, and he said one word: "Respect."
Xu Shian answered the question without thinking: "Honor!"
Qin Dewei is really covering his face, can't you just follow the routine and make love to him?
Xu Shian looked at Qin Dewei dissatisfied. According to his understanding, there is something wrong with respecting and respecting each other.
Qin Dewei was speechless. He kept adding up the number of words in each couplet. Not only did he have to look at the words that had already been written, but he also had to predict how the other party might add words!
He could predict that Wen Zhengming had expressed respect. According to the current situation, the words added below were likely to be "respect for the elderly." Then it would be over for someone who loves children!
But Xu Laosan is a vegetarian and has no prediction at all! If you treat me respectfully now, how can you say you respect your children later?
Wen Zhengming also didn't expect that this military attache's son would not take the ordinary path. He was stunned for a moment and then continued to add the words as expected: "Respect the elderly."
After saying that, he looked at Qin Dewei again, obviously he meant something. In fact, the difficulty of this couplet is very low, entry-level for school children, but Wen Zhengming's intention was not to make things difficult for others, but to express Qin Dewei's connotation.
Xu Shi'an scratched his head. It seemed that the old man could only use words like "young" and "young"? "Respect the young?"
The word "horse riding" was already confusing after just two words. Qin Dewei couldn't see it anymore. It was simply a shame.
Wen Zhengming was obviously shocked, but of course he was not surprised because he was right.
However, Mr. Wen’s purpose was obviously not to create a couplet, but to teach Qin Dewei a lesson. So he continued to add: “Let’s respect the elderly together!”
If you were an ordinary person, you would have left in shame if you said you were "respecting a child", but Xu Laosan's face is not ordinary people's.
"Supremely small!" He quickly followed up with the next sentence. There is nothing wrong with being alone or working together!
However, Wen Zhengming smiled at Qin Dewei several times, which made Qin Dewei feel ashamed. Even the entry-level schoolboys were like this.
Then I heard Wen Zhengming add two words: "Respect the elderly throughout the country!"
Qin Dewei also felt that every word Wen Zhengming said was for himself.
Xu Shi'an thought for a while. The sea can control the rivers and lakes. Even Xu Lao San understands this, but how can the sea be connected to the inside?
Finally, he choked out a couplet: "Jiangdong alone serves Xiao!"
After all, I am a native of Nanjing, so I often hear the name Jiangdong. Even the riverside gate of the outer city in the west is called Jiangdongmen. Jiangdong is to the sea, and the local is to the world, which means the same thing.
Looking at Xu Shi'an who was still forcibly supporting himself, Wen Zhengming directly added the last two words: "We at home and abroad respect the old leader!"
Xu Shian knelt down directly. Every word in the couplet must be paid attention to. The word main was fine, but the word alliance was too difficult to get right.
After Wen Zhengming finished killing the chicken in the front row, he pointed at Qin Dewei, the chicken in the back row, and said: "You continue to fight!"
Qin Dewei was a little embarrassed, "Old sir, do you really want me to be right?"
"I'll leave if you confront me!" Wen Zhengming said.
Qin Dewei sighed, frowned and said, "Is Jiangdong the only overlord?"
Wen Zhengming was stunned.
Alliance versus hegemon makes sense. We all know the allusions to the alliance between the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. There is nothing wrong with alliance leader versus overlord.
So the whole answer is: the whole country respects the old alliance leader, and Jiangdong only respects the little overlord?
Qin Dewei suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong. He had just realized that the old alliance leader might be alluding to Gu Lin, but who was the little overlord?
"Hahahaha!" Wen Zhengming suddenly laughed up to the sky, pointed at Qin Dewei and said: "You are so ruthless, so ruthless, you even dare to sell yourself!"
The old gentleman waved his sleeves and left gracefully. From a distance, he could still hear the teasing laughter: "Old leader? Little Overlord? Jiangdong? Hahahahaha!"
Qin Dewei was extremely helpless. It was all the mess left by Xu Laosan. What else could he do?
Could you, old man, stop emphasizing this continuously and deliberately? There are people watching the fun nearby. What should I do if word spreads?
But with a celebrity like Wen Zhengming as the background, it was impossible not to spread the word. From then on, the Nanjing literary world had a name that made primary school students very distressed. Jiangdong Little Overlord.
