When he heard that Wei Chen had become a disciple of the famous Mr. Qingteng, Zhao Luosheng knew in his heart that he might not be able to grab this disciple.
Although it was quite regrettable, Zhao Luosheng soon felt relieved.
For a talented person like Wei Chen, perhaps it would be appropriate for him to become a disciple of Mr. Qingteng.
After that, Zhao Luosheng did not mention the apprenticeship again, but continued to play chess with Wei Chen. The old gentleman was very talkative today. While playing chess, he debated poetry and lyrics with Wei Chen and commented on current figures.
Zhao Luosheng was a well-known figure in Yangzhou, with a wide network of contacts and extensive knowledge. After Wei Chen had a long conversation with him, he felt that he had benefited a lot and his horizons had broadened a lot.
Although he didn't spend a long time with Zhao Luosheng, Wei Chen had some understanding of the old man.
Compared with the civil servants Wei Chen had interacted with in the past, although Zhao Luosheng held an official position, his true heart was yearning for the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River. To describe it in one sentence, he was in the temple and his heart was surrounded by the mountains and rivers.
Open-minded and elegant, Wei Chen sincerely respects this old man.
However, this is not Wei Chen's path.
Manage the world for practical purposes and benefit the world at the same time.
This is Wei Chen's ambition.
…
This painting boat poetry meeting ended hastily in less than half a day, but it caused a sensation in Yangzhou city that far exceeded previous ones.
The reason is naturally the poems written by Wei Chen.
As the poetry meeting ended, poems such as "One-Character Poetry", "Ode to Begonia", "Village Dwelling" and "Linjiang Immortal" were spread in the city one after another.
One song in particular, "Linjiang Fairy", was composed by the singer on the boat that day into a tune that could be easily sung.
This piece of music is heroic and magnificent, which is very different from the sad and lingering tunes circulated in the past. It gives people a refreshing feeling. Once it was released, it became very popular, and men, women, old and young rushed to sing it.
For a time, "Linjiang Immortal" was sung wherever there was a well in Yangzhou City. Jiangning Wei Xingyun's name was as loud as thunder, and no one in Yangzhou City knew it.
The popular "Linjiang Immortal" is sought after by the public, while the scholar-bureaucrats prefer "Pan Hai" with its broad and lofty artistic conception.
In the past few days, there was an endless stream of invitations to the Sheng family. Even Han Tai, the prefect of Yangzhou, sent a message asking Wei Chen to go to the government office for a while.
There were even wealthy businessmen whose families held weddings, funerals and birthday banquets. They came with a lot of money to ask Wei Chen to write poems, which was similar to the way celebrities in later generations earned extra money from business performances.
Wei Chen also had a headache because of this. No wonder Zhong Yong was hurt. If he did this kind of thing every day, how could he have any time left to study and improve his knowledge?
In order to cope with the situation, Wei Chen finally attended two or three banquets at Sheng Hong's suggestion, and then lived in seclusion, ignoring the disturbances from the outside world.
Although Wei Chen stayed behind closed doors, there were still many people visiting Wei Chen at Sheng's house every day.
Seeing the busy traffic in front of his house, which attracted the envy of his neighbors, Sheng Hong also felt proud and was a little more polite to Wei Chen in his words and deeds.
In this way, less than half a month has passed, and the poetry craze in Yangzhou City has gradually cooled down, and Wei Chen's life has slowly returned to normal.
The only difference from the past is that there is a little follower Sheng Changfeng behind him.
At the Huafang Poetry Meeting, Wei Chen represented the Haitang Poetry Society against the Canglang Poetry Society. It can be said that he showed his power and turned the tide.
After the poetry meeting, Sheng Changfeng and his Haitang Poetry Society naturally became famous.
Although those who knew the inside story only regarded the poetry club as a child's plaything, this did not prevent Sheng Changfeng, Han Yuan and others from making a splash among their peers.
After that, Sheng Changfeng turned from Wei Chen's little fanboy to a die-hard fan, hanging around behind Wei Chen's butt every day.
Wei Chen was really troubled by the fact that he had a follower behind him.
But Sheng Changfeng was respectful and submissive to Wei Chen. Wei Chen really couldn't find any reason to keep him away from him thousands of miles away.
Moreover, Sheng Hong and Sheng Changbai were also happy to see Sheng Changfeng following Wei Chen, hoping that Wei Chen could guide him to study hard and make progress every day.
Looking at the Buddha without looking at the monk, Sheng Changbai begged Wei Chen for the rare time. Wei Chen had no choice but to keep Sheng Changfeng by his side for the sake of his friend.
However, Wei Chen was a little curious. Sheng Changfeng was so close to him, so why was there no reaction from Lin Sushuang?
Linqi Pavilion.
In the warm spring-like main room, Lin Sushuang was half-leaning on the soft couch, intently looking at the account book delivered today.
At this time, Zhou Xueniang, the personal maid, suddenly ran in and reported: "Miss, Brother Feng went to the west wing again!"
"What?"
Lin Sushuang threw the account book on the couch, straightened up and asked: "How many times have I told you not to let him go? If you don't let him go, you don't know how to stop him?"
"I want to stop you, but I can't!" Zhou Xueniang looked aggrieved: "When Brother Feng opens his mouth, it's all about the master. I'm just a servant, how can I dare to stop you?"
"This bastard, those who don't know better think he came out of the belly of that bitch from Qinyun Yuan!"
Lin Sushuang was so upset that she slapped the table with her palm, causing the tea set on the table to jingle.
Speaking of which, on the day of the poetry meeting, the reason why Sheng Changfeng went to look for Wei Chen was because Lin Sushuang was instigating it behind his back.
Qinyun Court suddenly gained so many people, and Wei Shuyi suddenly became generous. In the final analysis, it was all related to Wei Chen.
Lin Sushuang knew very little about Wei Chen, so she wanted her son to find an opportunity to find out about Wei Chen.
Who would have known that Sheng Changfeng went out for a trip and didn't bring back any information without telling him. He actually surrendered to the enemy directly and obeyed Wei Chen's words, not even listening to what her own mother said.
What's even worse is that after the poetry meeting, Wei Chen's weight in Sheng Hong's heart became more and more important, and Sheng Hong was also happy to see Sheng Changfeng and Wei Chen getting along well.
Every time Lin Sushuang stopped Sheng Changfeng from looking for Wei Chen, Sheng Changfeng would lift Sheng Hong out and press her down, leaving Lin Sushuang speechless.
After all, Sheng Changfeng is the son of the Sheng family, unlike Mo Lan, the daughter.
No matter how much Sheng Hong dotes on Lin Sushuang, he still has a certain limit. There is no way he would hand over the control of his son to a concubine.
In other words, Lin Sushuang actually had no say in Sheng Changfeng's discipline, and Sheng Hong made the final decision.
Now that Sheng Hong valued Wei Chen and wanted Sheng Changfeng to get closer to Wei Chen, Lin Sushuang could only let it go no matter how reluctant she was.
It was the same today. Seeing her incompetent and stupid son running to the west wing where Wei Chen lived, Lin Sushuang hated the iron in her heart, but she had no choice but to stay bored in the yard. A gloomy face.
Zhou Xueniang quietly glanced at Lin Sushuang's face and said cautiously: "My dear, there is one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"The situation in Qinyun Yuan has changed drastically. Our previous plans will definitely fail. I still need you to make an idea about the next step."
"Qinyun Courtyard, Wei Shuyi..."
Hearing Zhou Xueniang mention this matter, Lin Sushuang rubbed her brows and felt a headache again.
It turned out that Lin Sushuang had already made a plan. First, she used the power of the housekeeper to deliberately reduce the expenses of Qinyun Courtyard, causing disunity among the people in Qinyun Courtyard.
Then, he found the remaining loyal servants around Wei Shuyi and put them in his own hands.
In this way, the entire Qinyun Courtyard was in Lin Sushuang's hands, and the life and death of Wei Shuyi and her unborn child were at her mercy.
But as soon as Wei Chen arrived, Lin Sushuang's plan was immediately disrupted.
Now that Wei Shuyi had enough manpower around him to guard Qinyun Courtyard tightly, Lin Sushuang wanted to deal with her, but for a moment she didn't know how to start.
