Jiang Han was stunned for a moment. Why did Yuan Bin leave just after seeing him?
"Zhou Hu, follow us!"
"yes."
Finally catching up with Yuan Bin some way ahead, Jiang Han spoke again: "Brother Yuan, come up and talk."
Yuan Bin looked helpless and got into the carriage.
"Why did Brother Yuan just leave when he saw me?" Jiang Han asked in surprise.
Yuan Bin had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "Brother Jiang, to be honest, your mother...your wife took someone to arrest me and soaked me in the lake for two days. She warned me not to lead you astray."
Ah... when did Miss Qin do this... Jiang Han said, "Brother Yuan, don't be afraid. My wife is actually quite gentle. Maybe there is some misunderstanding."
Yuan Bin looked at him with strange eyes, gentle? So is Qin Da Chong related to Wen Wenwen? Is this Jiang Han blind?
Now that he's on the carriage, Yuan Bin doesn't hesitate anymore. Anyway, as long as he doesn't take Jiang Han to the brothel, what else can Qin Da Chong do to him? So he changed the topic: "Brother Jiang is also going to attend the Lixia Cultural Conference today?"
Jiang Han nodded and said: "Yes, I have never participated in any Beginning of Xia literary meeting. Has Brother Yuan participated in it?"
Yuan Bin said: "We in Yunmeng hold cultural gatherings every year during the twenty-four solar terms, and the Beginning of Summer is the first solar term in summer, so the scale of the cultural gatherings is not small. Every year, the Beginning of Summer Cultural Fair is held at Yingyue Tower in the west of Yunmeng Lake. Participating talents will compose poems and lyrics in Yingyue Tower, and can also go boating on Yunmeng Lake.
The main purpose of the cultural gathering is for the children of aristocratic families to use it to make their names known. Brother Jiang and I, even if we don't participate in the cultural gathering, it doesn't matter. Therefore, people who organize cultural gatherings often want to become famous. "
"Is that so?" Jiang Han asked.
Yuan Bin smiled and said: "Of course, for example, there used to be a scholar who studied poetry and books very hard, but was not well-known. Later, he spent all his wealth to buy a gemstone as a lottery ticket, and invited talented people from Kyoto to come to participate in literary gatherings. He became famous in Kyoto only after he presented his own poems at a cultural gathering.
This time, the organizer of the cultural gathering was Mr. Wang Yanzhi of the Wang family in Yunmeng Mansion. He had also been a prefect before... He had a son-in-law named Zhang Yujun. Therefore, this Lixia literary meeting was most likely to promote his son-in-law's reputation. But... logically speaking, you shouldn't be invited. "
Jiang Han said: "How to say?"
Yuan Bin said: "I'm not good at poetry, and my lyrics are also erotic, so I can't get on the stage, so you invited me, and you didn't worry that I would steal Zhang Yujun's limelight. But your poetry is excellent, and if you win the first place, wouldn't Wang Yanzhi have this literary event in vain?" Yes? In other words, the Wang family is confident that Zhang Yujun can beat Brother Guo Jiang and wants to use Brother Jiang as a stepping stone."
Jiang Han pondered: "Is there still such a way to say it?"
Yuan Bin said: "Of course. In fact, I always thought that you would not come to attend the Lixia Cultural Conference."
Jiang Han said: "In fact, the invitation was not sent to me by the Wang family, but by the patrol envoy Tang Yi."
Yuan Bin said: "Tang Yi has a concubine who is from the Wang family."
Jiang Han didn't understand the rules of the literary conference, but from Yuan Bin's words, it was possible that this literary conference was intended to use him as a stepping stone.
If at this literary conference, his poems are not as good as that of Zhang Yujun, others will step on him to become famous.
Even if his poems are better than Zhang Yujun's, his reputation will not be damaged. After all, there is no shame in losing to him.
"So I shouldn't have come to this literary party... Actually, I wouldn't have come either. I came because of Tang Yi's invitation." Jiang Han pondered, looking out the car window, his thoughts drifting away.
Is this article related to the Yin family?
Yuan Bin smiled and said: "Brother Jiang, don't think too much. Brother Jiang's poetry is outstanding. Although Zhang Yujun is also a talented man, he is not as good as Brother Jiang."
The two stopped chatting, and the carriage soon arrived at the west side of Yunmeng Lake and stopped one mile away from Yingyue Tower.
Many carriages had stopped on the road ahead. Many young scholars waved their folding fans, jumped off the carriages, and walked towards Yingyue Tower.
"Let's go." Yuan Bin said.
The two got out of the car and walked. Jiang Han looked at Yingyue Tower, which was a three-story elegant building. Although it was not as good as Phoenix Tower, it was still quite spectacular.
After Zhou Hu stopped the carriage and followed, the three of them came to Yingyue Downstairs, showed the invitation, and entered the elegant building.
Many scholars were talking and laughing in the building, and they were in high spirits.
Some people pointed at Yunmeng Lake and recited a poem or two, which made the female family members next to them praise them repeatedly.
Jiang Han saw many women, most of them were the female companions of the young masters, and a few of them were standing by the window with their arms around their female companions.
Jiang Han couldn't help but think of Qin Muqing, who was supposed to bring her here, but she was afraid when she heard about the wedding meeting and didn't want to come.
"Jiang Han!" Someone shouted loudly at this time.
Jiang Han looked up and saw Hua Ruyi striding towards him, followed by a woman beside Hua Ruyi.
When the woman saw Jiang Han, her face showed excitement and she ran towards him.
As he ran, his chest rose.
Bang, bang, bang...
Just like two extremely fat white rabbits, running up and down.
So amazing!
Jiang Han couldn't help but take a second look. When the two of them came closer, he cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Hua, and Miss Jia."
Before Hua Ruyi opened her mouth, the woman smiled happily and said, "Jiang Han, you're here too! I thought you would definitely come to this kind of cultural gathering."
She is Jia Yue, the daughter of Magistrate Jia, whom she met last time on the Phoenix Stage. At that time, Magistrate Jia intended to betroth his daughter to the leader. Unfortunately, Jiang Han was already planning to marry Qin Muqing.
Although they only met once, in Jia Yue's mind, she deeply remembered that amazing article and this talented young man.
Jiang Hanxin said that this panda can be compared with Duan Xiaomei, but the difference is that Jia Yue has a loli face.
He said politely: "Hello, Miss Jia."
Hua Ruyi looked at Jiang Han with a complicated expression. Before meeting Jiang Han, he thought that he was outstandingly talented. Although he ranked second among the four great talents in Yunmeng, Yin Tingli could not beat him by much.
But Jiang Han gave him blows again and again!
From poetry to lyrics to articles!
They all beat him to pieces.
It gave him the urge to give up his writing and join the army!
Even Yin Tingli couldn't give him this feeling.
With great difficulty, he regained his confidence and decided to pursue Jia Yue, his cousin.
In fact, his status is not as good as that of the other three young masters. The Hua family used to be a prominent family, but now it is almost becoming a poor family.
If he can marry his cousin and get help from Magistrate Jia, coupled with his talent and reputation, he can also make a good fortune.
Maybe in this life, he will be able to live in the fifth rank or the fourth rank.
But now, looking at Jia Yue's expression, he felt that he might lose again.
This Jia Yue obviously has a crush on Jiang Han!
The eyes that looked at Jiang Han were bright.
"Jiang Han, you are here for this literary party, and the leader must be yours." Jia Yue said.
