Wang Xu was reincarnated in Jiangnan. He not only gained a famous teacher, but also wrote three poems about Zhenzhou.
He is not afraid to say that among scholars and scholars, he is definitely a rising star and a rising star.
Just like today, everyone present had never seen him, but after hearing his name, they could recognize him as soon as possible. This is the benefit of fame.
Now, if you don’t make a sound, you will make a splash. When you return, you will write the fourth poem of Zhenzhou. One person will write four famous articles in a row. If you put them on ancient sages, you can also be regarded as a good story.
On the first day of coming to Yangzhou Prefecture, Wang Xu chose to live in fame and fortune.
He was exempted from accommodation fees, meals, fame and fortune, and he didn't even dare to ask for the poems in Wang Xu's hand, but he just asked Wang Xu to copy one and hang it on the wall of the restaurant.
Wang Xu readily accepted this and tacitly agreed to the idea of fame and fortune-telling and advertising.
As a modern person, Wang Xu knows that advertising is also a win-win situation.
People who advertise are attracted by the fame and effect of celebrities. Celebrities cooperate with publicity and promote each other while promoting each other, are they also promoting themselves.
Take a mineral water from later generations as an example. How many people who don’t care about celebrities and singers have met Wang Leehom from the packaging? Isn’t this a kind of self-promotion?
Fame and fortune live in Yangzhou Prefecture, and it is also a time-honored high-end restaurant. It receives tens of thousands of guests every day.
Wang Xu's poems are in the most conspicuous position, and people who come in can see them. One is passed down to ten, ten is passed down to hundreds, and hundreds is passed down to thousands of people. This is an ancient advertisement.
Some people present helped spread their poetry reputation. In just one night, the news that Wang Xu came to Yangzhou Prefecture was rumored.
The next morning, just as dawn, Wang Xu was woken up by the waiter.
"Young Master Wang, get up and take a look. There are many scholars coming outside. Those who are given names want to see you!"
"See me?"
After Wang Xu finished washing up, he walked out of the room and stood upstairs and looked down. He saw a lot of people standing in the hall.
When these people saw Wang Xu coming out, they bowed their hands together and whispered: "Young Master Wang!"
"Who are you?" Wang Xu asked these people as he went downstairs.
Someone spoke first: "Mr. Wang, I am the leader of the Du Dan Poetry Association in Yangzhou Prefecture. We plan to hold a poetry meeting in a few days and want to invite Mr. Wang to be our guest."
"A poem meeting!"
Wang Xu nodded slightly. The scholars standing in front of him were all wearing silk and jade. Obviously, they were all romantic talents who did not need to be cultivated in spring or planted in autumn.
The daily job of these people is to ask three or two to make friends and participate in activities such as poetry parties, tea parties, and alcohol parties. They are so free and easy.
In the future, it would be fine if I could pass the Jinshi exam. If I failed the exam, I would take over the family business in the future. The good relationship I left today is the connections that I can’t even ask for in the future, which is similar to the various circles in modern times.
"Where are you, you also invited me to the poetry meeting?"
Wang Xu looked at the others again and asked, as expected, the more than a dozen people present were sponsors of small groups spontaneously formed among scholars in Yangzhou Prefecture.
Some people wanted to invite Wang Xu to attend the poetry meeting, some wanted to invite Wang Xu to visit the lake together, and some people looked lewd and wanted to invite Wang Xu to the pleasure boat to have a drink.
Scholars go to drink flower wine and are regarded as an elegant thing in the scholarly forest. Not only is it not embarrassing, but if they can have some stories with the courtesan, they will gain fame.
When asked about the identities of these people, they are either the direct descendants of the gentry or the nephew of an official, and the least they are also the sons of famous merchants.
Those who are not qualified enough dare not come to invite him. None of them dares to come are easy people, all of them are local local snakes.
"Will you go?"
Wang Xu's eyes flashed with thoughts. His visit to Yangzhou Prefecture this time was mainly for Enko at the end of August.
Now, there are still three months left before the exam starts. It is impossible to hide at home and not deal with these local snakes for such a long time.
After all, he wanted to become famous in Jiangnan, with a hero and three gangs, and he also pointed at these people to help him build momentum.
After thinking about it, Wang Xu felt that he could go and see, but there was some point in going with him.
These people now represent small circles among scholars in Yangzhou Prefecture.
The circle is also divided into three or six grades. Whether the father is a fifth or fourth grade official, whether the same rank is real power or a dispersed position, represents different energy.
If it is a merchant, the salt merchant will be more powerful than the rice merchants, and the rice merchants will surpass the tea merchants. The tea merchants will look down on cloth merchants in turn, and in the end they all rely on the piaoqi.
The same is true for the gentry. County tyrants, county magistrates, and aristocratic families all have their own opinions.
People like Wang Xuguan do not have really powerful characters and are not considered to be the top stubborn leader in Jiangnan.
The best one in the aristocratic family is a fat man named Zhang Xu. The fat man has a scholarly reputation. He is the current supervisor of the grain transport, a fourth-rank local official, in charge of Jiangnan grain transport. He has little official position, but he is absolutely not very powerful.
From the perspective of power and background, the fat man should be in the south of the Yangtze River, second only to the top stubborn master.
Going further up, the real legitimate son of aristocratic family, to be honest, would not come over on the first day he came to Yangzhou Prefecture, as he thought he was too much.
"Brother Zhang invites you warmly, but I can't refuse. This time I came to Yangzhou and I haven't seen the skinny horse yet. Today I will follow Brother Zhang to see you."
Wang Xu bowed to Zhang Xu and smiled. Zhang Xu invited him not to attend a poetry meeting, but to invite him to see the thin horse in Yangzhou, and then to the pleasure boat to listen to the songs in the evening.
Compared to attending poetry meetings and pretending to be slapping people in the face, Wang Xu prefers to have fun relaxedly.
The thin horse in Yangzhou is so good. It is said that the first-class thin horses are hard to ask for. The silver for redemption is often hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of money, and he has long wanted to see it.
"Okay, okay, I'll just say that people come from all the time, you can just talk about poetry and articles all the time. How tiring it is. I finally came here, of course I had a good time to have fun."
Zhang Xu got Wang Xu's response and clapped his hands and shouted at the people around him.
Everyone looked at each other and could only look for a step to say, "Brother Wang, since today is inconvenient, then we will gather again another day, say goodbye, say goodbye."
The crowd dispersed in groups of three or three, leaving only the little fat man who was secretly happy.
Although the little fat man came from a family of officials, he had a distorted personality. After no one around, he whispered to Wang Xu: "Those people are actually the most boring. When they get together, they either brag about each other in business or belittle each other. It seems that if they don't belittle you, they will not show their abilities.
Fortunately, you didn't go there. I regretted it after you went there. I heard that some people think you are very famous and plan to invite you out and step on you to stand out!"
"There is still this?"
Wang Xu became interested and said softly: "How do they plan to step on me? Are these people better at writing poems and lyrics than me?"
Wang Xu is not confident in himself, but in everyone in the Five Dynasties.
Whether it is Li Shen’s “Praise for the Farmers”, Wang Wei’s “Painting”, Song Zhenzong’s “Li Xue”, or Yuan Haowen’s untitled poems, they are all famous quotes that are outstanding throughout the ages.
Any one of these poems is enough to be famous throughout the ages. Wang Xu copied four poems, and even the Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River was shocked.
Even if Li Bai is resurrected and Du Fu is reborn, he will still say good things about his poems. How can these people be able to stand up to him?
"You don't know that these people will not use short strokes to make a long spell. If you do a good job of poetry, they will compete with you. If you have good couplets, they will play Go with you. If you have good Go, they will talk to you about articles. If you have good articles, they will compete with you for piano music.
You are a god, and you can't have dozens of people coming up and each sets questions. None of them can beat you in their own field. As long as you win one game, they will make a big splash. When others hear it, no matter what they compare, if they lose, they will lose, which will naturally be in line with their wishes."
The little fat man said something serious, and he gestured while talking, for fear that Wang Xu would not believe it.
Wang Xu was shocked when he heard this. There was also this operation.
This is not the same as Feng Gong said. He sings the best in crosstalk, he sings the best in storytelling, dances the best in storytelling, and crosstalk the best in dance.
Good guy, these people are shameless in order to beat him once.
If this is a weird guy, he will compete with his weight and chest muscles, wouldn’t he be able to lose without losing?
"You won't be like them, are you?"
Wang Xu turned to look at Zhang Xu. If the scholars in Yangzhou Prefecture were so bored, he would have to play with him.
When Zhang Xu heard this, he became anxious: "I am not that kind of person, if it weren't for my sister."
"Your sister?"
Wang Xu listened so much, but he felt something was wrong.
Zhang Xu also noticed that he had said the wrong thing. He was a little embarrassed for a moment and said with a blushing face: "You don't know. She admires you very much. When she heard that you came to Yangzhou Prefecture, she immediately drove me out and said that she would not invite you there, so she would not give me pocket money.
Hehe, I'm not afraid of you making jokes. As a man, I can't spend enough money. My sister is very saving. Just like my mother, I'll give me pocket money if I'm obedient."
Wang Xu: ""
