Only the main body of the new building is nearly completed, and the surrounding facilities are very imperfect. There is only a fence around it, and a few old family members are guarding the entrance of the fence.
The young people from the Xu Family School excitedly walked to the gate of the fence when they were stopped.
Xu Shi'an pointed at his hometown Ding angrily and said: "We are from the Xu clan going out for spring outings, and most of them are descendants of the Xu family! You dare not let me wait in?"
Ding, the old man, said helplessly: "The host inside has said that the county scholars are having fun and no more people are allowed in."
In fact, if a big shot or celebrity comes, it doesn't matter if you put it in. There have been several waves of others who have gone in before.
But looking at the group of little brats in front of me, it’s enough to say they are just here to cause trouble. If they were let in, wouldn’t they interfere with the cultural activities inside?
Xu Shi'an had no choice but to grab someone from the crowd with his backhand and pushed him to the front: "Big head! Come out and speak!"
The man named Xu Datou had an unspectacular appearance and was as thin as a bamboo pole. Even with Qin Dewei's intelligence, he could not see what kind of virtue or ability this man had, yet he was picked out by Xu Laosan and charged into battle.
Xu Datou asked slowly: "Who in our Xu family is in charge? Is it Xu Juyun?"
The old servant Ding replied: "It's Mr. Yu Liang."
Qin Dewei didn't know this name, but Wang Lianqing knew it, so he explained in his ear: "Xu Juyun, also known as Yuliang, is a member of the Xu family and a famous scholar in Jinling. He has a close friendship with Mr. Gu, the leader of the Qingxi Society League.
He is the only talented person in the Xu family."
Qin Dewei suddenly realized that it was no wonder that this person could summon scholars and preside over civil affairs on behalf of the Duke of Wei. This status was indeed quite suitable. He was from the Xu family and had a literary name. If he didn't come, who would?
Since he is the only talented person in the Xu family in Nanjing, his status must be transcendent. It would be really difficult for him to say that he would not let anyone in.
Seriously speaking, there are cultural activities going on inside, so it makes sense not to let these brats in.
Qin Dewei frowned and thought hard, he had to come up with an idea to get in. Although these little brats were all named Xu, it was obvious that minors had no say and could not be counted on. They still had to rely on themselves.
Suddenly, the man in front, Xu Datou, shouted to the yard behind the fence at the top of his lungs: "Xu Juyun, come out! I've seen your grandpa!"
While Qin Dewei was stunned, a scribe in his thirties ran out from inside and bowed his hand to Xu Datou with a bitter look on his face.
Xu Shi'an returned to Qin Dewei triumphantly, "Xu Datou's family has been poor for generations, and each generation has gotten married late. As a result, Xu Datou's generation has an extremely high seniority.
I knew it must be Xu Juyun, an old sour guy, who was tinkering inside, and Xu Datou happened to be his grandfather..."
Twelve-year-old Xu Datou yelled at Xu Juyun, a famous Jinling scholar: "Your grandpa wants to go in to see, why won't he be allowed in? Even the Duke of Guo is here, and his surname is Xu!"
Qin Dewei was amazed, the big family really has a profound foundation.
Then he said to Xu Shi'an very tactfully: "You will introduce me to Xu Datou later. I suddenly feel that it is better to call Xu Datou my brother."
"Get lost!" Xu Laosan's reply was concise and to the point.
When the group entered the fence, they saw a tall building standing by the lake in front of them. The roof of the building was two to three feet high according to visual inspection.
At this time, the previous group of scholars from Shangyuan County had gathered at the door and had not yet entered, and were having a heated discussion about what name this building should be named.
Xu Juyun didn't care about hosting the clan's grandfathers, younger brothers, nephews, and grandnephews, and hurriedly went back to the scholars. This was his main business.
For an unknown new building, of course the name is the most important. If the name chosen by the person is selected and invited to write it down and make it into a plaque and hang it high at the entrance, wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming famous?
Prince Wang Fengyuan, a student member of Shangyuan County, named Jishan, whom Qin Dewei had met once, was having a high-octane discussion with a group of new friends.
This group of new friends is much more powerful than the group in Dongyuan last time. A fat scholar laughed and said: "I have an interesting idea! The names of buildings usually use allusions.
Among us, Jishan is the most knowledgeable. So I suggested that Jishan tell an allusion, and then let Mrs. Feng come up with a name based on the allusion. This is called a perfect match, wouldn't it be a good idea!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful!" All the scholars cheered together. The drama of a talented man and a beautiful lady never fails after repeated attempts.
Wang Lianqing bent down and put her ear to Qin Dewei's ear and said, "Look at how other people do things and learn from them!"
Qin Dewei, who was watching with great interest, was puzzled: "What do you want me to learn?"
Wang Lianqing couldn't help but bite Qin Dewei's ear hard, and then said: "Believe it or not, that damn fat man must have taken bitch Feng's money, just like you took my money! So I asked you to learn
Stay on target!"
"Exactly, what's the point of trivial skills?" Qin Dewei said disdainfully, "People with great ambitions don't need subtle tricks!"
The prince over there had already begun to talk, pointing to the blue waves in the distance and saying: "After my research, before the imperial dynasty, this lake was not actually called Mochou Lake, but was mostly called Shicheng Lake.
It is said that during the Jin Dynasty, Fu Jian's army from the north, numbering millions, marched southward with whips, and then came the Battle of Feishui. I think everyone knows about it.
It is said that during the war, Xie An, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, played chess with his friends by the lake. During the chess game, a letter arrived. Xie An remained calm after reading it, but his friend lost the game because he was uneasy.
After I finished writing, my friend asked Xie An what the letter was about, and Xie An said it was just a child's fault."
After Wang Fengyuan finished telling the allusion, everyone cheered. This allusion was indeed related to this place, and it was difficult for him to verify it.
Now it's time to look at Feng Meiren. Everyone is waiting for Feng Meiren to come up with an allusion to name her.
Feng Shuangshuang thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I think it can be called Shengqi Tower!"
Wang Fengyuan was the first to applaud and cheered: "What an ingenious idea! It also has an elegant meaning!"
Wang Lianqing's eyes felt hot and her heart felt sour when she saw other people's talented people. They were smart and sensible, spoke well, and could unite friends to create an atmosphere.
Thinking about the talented man in your own family will only make people angry! He glanced at Qin Dewei and saw that the young man was just dumbfounded, so he became even more angry.
"Look, look! If you can learn a little more today, it won't be in vain!" Wang Lianqing wanted to break the precept and pinch someone again.
Qin Dewei was really stunned, because if he remembered correctly, there was indeed a building called Shengqi Building by Mochou Lake in later generations...
Hearing Beauty Wang's chatter, Qin Dewei rolled his eyes and raised his little finger: "What kind of talent is someone else's? Let me teach you something."
Wang Meiren came to the door, leaned against Qin Dewei and lowered her head to listen to a few words. She immediately smiled brightly and then went to join the crowd of scholars in front.
Feng Shuangshuang had already caught a glimpse of Junior Sister Wang watching not far away. She just couldn't pay attention to it for the time being, but she was still paying attention.
Seeing that Junior Sister Wang actually came over on her own initiative, Feng Shuangshuang snorted coldly, "There really is a way to heaven and you don't want to take it."
"Hey, sister Wang, didn't you just look down on us and refuse to accept my invitation? Why are you here again?" Feng Shuangshuang greeted her warmly and spoke to her.
Wang Lianqing waved her fan as if to drive away flying insects. Instead of facing Feng Shuangshuang directly, she looked left and right at Pan Shenghui and said to the other scholars in the county school:
"Oh, when I heard that the name Shengqi Tower you gave me was in the place of the Xu family, the slave family suddenly felt that something was a little inappropriate, so I couldn't help but boldly come over to remind them, so as not to cause trouble.
A great talent, don’t argue with a little girl!”
Feng Shuangshuang sneered: "If you have anything to say, just say it clearly. The allusion Mr. Jishan chose, and the name I used the allusion for, why is it inappropriate?"
She doesn't believe it. With your qualities as Wang Lianqing, what can you say?
Wang Lianqing turned to Senior Sister Feng and said, "When I heard the name Shengqi Tower in Xu's place, I couldn't help but think of the story of Emperor Gao playing chess with Prince Zhongshan..."
Emperor Gao refers to Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of this dynasty, and Gao is the posthumous title; King Zhongshan refers to Xu Daye, the first generation ancestor of the Xu family in Nanjing. After his death, he was posthumously named a higher-level King of Zhongshan, so it is generally not used.
Wei Guogong pointed out.
It is said by old people in Nanjing that Emperor Taizu often played chess with Xu Da. This is a very famous legend, and everyone has different opinions on this issue of winning or losing.
There are even many conspiracy theories involved, such as giving Xu Da a roast goose after playing chess, and countless urban legends that people believe or not.
Wang Lianqing waved her fan gently, but the words she said were enough to pierce people's hearts: "When an ignorant person sees the name Shengqi in the Xu family, he or she will first think of who wins the game? Is it Shengtian Banzi? Or Tian
Better than people?
Or will some thoughtful people wonder about it again? What does the Xu family want to express? In fact, it’s nothing, but I’m really afraid that thoughtful people will wonder about it.
The more I thought about it, the more afraid I became, so I came over quickly to remind you that the name that Senior Sister Feng and Prince Wang jointly came up with is very, very bad."
There was sudden silence in front of the building. Feng Shuangshuang looked confused, and all the student members in Shangyuan County fell silent.
Who is thinking blindly? You are the only one who is thinking blindly, okay! But now some people are starting to think blindly. Is there still no second, third, fourth, and fifth?
The rank of this beautiful lady is a bit evil. Is she a legendary player with unique skills?
Qin Dewei slapped Xu Shian in the face, and Xu Laosan shouted with understanding:
"The county's great scholar, Feng Shuangshuang, the Four Great Famous Concubines, it's all bullshit! You even dare to have problems with the name, and our Xu family was almost killed by idiots like you!"
There was no one who was afraid of getting into trouble here. The young people shouted and made noise together. The young people did not know what it was like to feel sad, and they watched the embarrassed county school talents vigorously, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Wang Lianqing was like a female general returning victoriously, walking back triumphantly amidst the cheers of a group of little kids.
It was a black game today. She had kneeled three times in a row before. If she continued to kneel like this, she would have the urge to quit the game. Fortunately, the system matching mechanism came into play, and powerful teammates began to lead her.
"How are other people's talents doing?" Qin Dewei asked worriedly.
Wang Lianqing said with a smile: "Have you never heard of the saying that beauty belongs to other people's family, and talent belongs to one's own family?"
Qin Dewei always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, as it seemed to have some ethical implications.
