Chapter 1740

Zhang Zongshi drank tea silently. He was surrounded by only friends he had known many years ago. From time to time, people looked at him and made no secret of the envy in his eyes.

At this time, a man at the next table asked loudly, "brother Zhang, why don't you go to the Dongting Lake to look for Zhang Longxiang?"

Zhang Zongshi smiled, put down his porcelain cup and asked, "do you want me to tell the truth or lie?"

The first floor of the restaurant suddenly calmed down. In the middle of asking friends, Zhang Zongshi's literary position is not the highest and power is not the largest, but he is definitely the most promising and the most eye-catching.

The man said, "what about lying?"

"Zhang Mingzhou is an expert with a secret whereabouts. If he wants to show up, we can see him standing under Yueyang Tower. If he doesn't want to show up, we can't find it all over Dongting Lake. Instead of doing something in vain, we'd better stay here for tea and chat and wait for the Yueyang Tower cultural meeting." Zhang Zongshi smiled.

"What about the truth?" the man continued.

"Zhang Mingzhou will lose when he comes to Xiangzhou. We'd better not disturb his mind, otherwise scholars everywhere will say that Fang Xusheng is invincible." Zhang Zongshi smiled.

Many people laughed. As Jingguo people, Xiangzhou people and people standing with Fang Yun, they really need to have this confidence.

"Yes, this time, Fang Xusheng will win a great victory! Come on, let's toast Fang Xusheng!" said a big man in a scholar's robe.

They raised their glasses, or tea or wine, raised their blessings and drank their warm hopes.

A scholar said, "brother Zhang, the reason why we are not in a hurry to go to Yueyang Tower is that we can't grab a good place. Why are you still here? With your way, you should be able to occupy a good position? Needless to say, one of the four seats of a, B, C and D must be reserved for you."

Everyone in the whole restaurant calmed down and looked at Zhang Zongshi curiously.

The seats of this cultural conference are a very lively topic.

The conference was jointly organized by Kong Cheng and Xiangzhou government. Because of the large number of people, it was very difficult to arrange seats. According to Kong Cheng's habit, five seats were divided, namely seat a, seat B, seat C, seat D and last seat.

Seat a is under Yueyang Tower, and the seats behind are farther and farther away. Up to the Ding banquet, everyone not only has a separate chair, but also a table for ten people with food on the table.

At the end of the banquet, there were only separate seats and no tables, but there were moon cakes given by the Wen Hui.

Outside the last table, there are a large number of long benches, which are seated according to countries and regions. However, even these seats have been occupied. After all, the number of people in this cultural conference will continue to increase, which must exceed one million. Even if many baling people bring their own stools and chairs, it is impossible for everyone to sit down.

The big man on one side envied and said, "it's not necessary to ask. With brother Zhang's talent, he can definitely be at the bottom."

A scholar in blue next to him put away his fan and talked endlessly.

"That's not necessarily true. Needless to say, seat a is the seat of monarchs, aristocratic family leaders, great Confucianism or power ministers of various countries. It not only has the right to speak in the holy court, but also can determine the affairs of a country. No matter how much Ge millions of money, he can't get a seat there. As for seat B, all present here are great scholars or rich family leaders, who have a high status in all countries. Although they can't decide the affairs of a country, they can't The influence on a country is not weak, which is also not that money can sit there. "

"Seat C is the seat of Hanlin. If he is an official, he can affect some affairs of a state. It is said that GE million is in seat C. Although his literary position is not high, he controls Qingjiang business firm, which is enough to affect the people's livelihood in several states. It can be said that seat C is the limit that a person with a low literary position can reach, and it is impossible to rise to seat B. seat C, in addition to the big managers of Hanlin and major business firms, there are also some aristocratic families or children Young Junyan, or with a higher seniority, can be seated even if he is not an imperial scholar. The high status of the children of the aristocratic family is obvious to all, and there is no need to say more. "

"Ding Xi is a scholar's seat. In addition to the scholar's seat, ordinary family children and elite of rich families can enter. A few famous family owners and the richest man in the city are also eligible to sit. These people have a certain impact on the affairs of the government."

"At the end of the table is the people's table. Dignitaries, patriarchs and rich people everywhere have ways to enter. These people can have an impact on the land of a county. In the past, we may not be able to reach the position of the last person in our life. However, with the soaring star power of Wenqu and the great vitality of heaven and earth, we also have the opportunity to become one of them!"

"Although brother Zhang is only a child student, he has great insight and talent for scholars. However, this cultural conference is jointly held by Xiangzhou government and Kong Cheng. Most of the seat invitations are sent in the form of letters. Brother Zhang has no official seal and no literary name. It is very unlikely that the person in charge of the cultural conference will invite him to attend."

The big man retorted, "that's not necessarily true. I heard a friend who worked as an official in Baling mansion say that at the end of the cultural conference, we invited not only some famous old scholars and young scholars, but also dozens of famous young scholars and scholars. It's not surprising to invite brother Zhang."

The scholar in blue smiled: "Some people on the list have concluded that this Mid Autumn Festival cultural meeting has surpassed the Mid Autumn Festival cultural meeting in Kong City over the years. It is the largest cultural meeting in recent ten years. Only the canonization cultural meeting can win steadily. According to the scale and impact on the Terran, it is equivalent to a competition of ten countries. Such an important cultural meeting can't be careless. Brother Zhang has no one in the government, but has a level with Fang Xusheng It's a very distant relationship, so I think it's difficult for him to sit. "

The big man said, "forget it. I won't argue with you. I won't guess. Just ask. Brother Zhang, have you received the invitation of the cultural society?"

The people present watched Zhang Zongshi, and some even made small calculations. If Zhang Zongshi really didn't receive the invitation, it showed that he had almost nothing to do with Fang Yun. Even if he got the virtual Holy Blood Poetry Wall by means, Fang Yun might not come forward.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Zongshi said, "I didn't want to publicize this matter, but since you asked, I'll say it straight. I received an invitation from the governor's office yesterday afternoon."

"You see, I said brother Zhang had a last table, please post it!" the big man smiled happily.

The people in the restaurant looked at Zhang Zongshi with envy. The scholar in blue was about to speak. Zhang Zongshi smiled and said, "it's not the last invitation, it's the Ding invitation."

There was silence in the restaurant. It was a very high treatment for a child to get the last invitation, but Zhang Zongshi could get the Ding invitation. There was no second possibility except that he had something to do with Fang Yun.

According to the abacus, the hotel shopkeeper laughed and said, "brother Zhang's mouth is too strict. I'll tell you the truth. After the Mid Autumn Festival cultural meeting, brother Zhang will enter the state yamen as an official. If he does well, he will enter the governor's office."

Everyone was surprised. Unexpectedly, there was a big man here.

"Congratulations, brother Zhang!" everyone present looked at Zhang Zongshi with eager eyes and thought about how to make a good friend with Zhang Zongshi.

Zhang Zongshi got up and arched his hands and said, "thank you very much." he was not arrogant and was no different from before.

The restaurant became lively again and talked about Zhang Zongshi. Suddenly, someone outside shouted, "Zhang Longxiang is writing poetry! Zhang Longxiang is writing poetry on the list!"
