My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 1112

[Chapter 1079: Criticizing Sang and Huai]

After hearing what he said, Jing Zhe couldn’t help but sigh.

It has always been a matter of kindness and hatred. Sometimes, people cannot always give charity. Once you make the other party feel at ease, when one day your contribution does not meet their psychological expectations, hatred will spread at this time.

The most insatiable thing is the human heart.

But looking at it this way, this Ma Shibin and Feng Daoyou are really nothing. Fortunately, Fatty Wei has already made enemies with them. If such villains stay around, there may be some trouble.

The two people were talking, and just as Jing Zhe had guessed, the people who had just flowed from the backyard to the front yard were now pouring back.

After they gathered in the backyard again, they quickly moved to both sides, leaving a small path in the middle of the crowd.

At this time, two middle-aged men walked in from the path one after the other, showing humility to each other.

The person walking in front was in his forties, wearing an embroidered robe and a small goatee. He looked very energetic. Although he had a smile on his face, he exuded a kind of majesty. Jing Zhe was very attracted to this kind of person. The temperament is quite familiar, because the officials he knows who can enter and exit the court have this temperament.

It’s just that the people he knows have a much stronger temperament than this person. After all, the officials who can enter and leave the court are of much higher rank than this person.

If Jing Zhe guessed correctly, this person was the father-in-law of Jiangling City and the current prefect of Jiangling.

As for the man in the gray robe at the back, he is more than ten years older than the governor of Jiangling. His temples have turned white, but he is in good spirits. Although he does not speak, he has a bookish air in his movements. He seems to be a scholar, but I don’t know. , why would the prefect of Jiangling be so polite to a scholar?

Seeing that Jing Zhe was fascinated, Fatty Wei came over and introduced him in a low voice: “The person in front is our Jiangling Prefect Xu Wenchang, and the person behind is Master Xia Bingrong, who is also Mr. Feng’s teacher.”

Jing Zhe nodded, “Let me tell you, no wonder you can stand with Jiangling Prefect and be so polite to him. It turns out that you borrowed the help of his apprentice.”

But Fatty Wei shook his head: “Brother Jing doesn’t know something now, Master Xia When he was young, he was also a famous talent in Jiangling City. Although his poetry was not top-notch, his calligraphy was highly praised by all literati! When Brother Jing came to Jiangling, he must have seen the two powerful men on the wall. The big characters are written by Master Xia!”

When Jing Zhe heard this, he nodded in understanding and thought that those two characters were written by Master Xia. It seemed that there were two brushes.

The official position of Jiangling Prefect is unique in Anguo. In other cities, such as Yongzhou, Ruzhou, and even Jingzhou, both parents are prefects, starting from the fourth rank.

But it happened that Jiangling’s parents were prefects, and their rank was the fourth rank, half a rank higher than the prefect, to show the distinction.

This distinction can also highlight the influence of Gangneung as the most developed economic and cultural center of Anguo. This has been established since the founding of Anguo and is still used today.

…

While the two of them were talking, Xu Wenchang and Xia Bingrong had already walked to the stone table. No one noticed that the poem written by Fatty Wei just now was suppressed.

“Mubai and Miss Lin haven’t arrived yet?”

Xia Bingrong asked first.

“Master Hui Xia, not yet.”

someone replied.

“It’s okay that Miss Lin came a little later. After all, Miss Lin is a woman, but what’s going on with Mubai? I told him yesterday to come here early today, but now Prefect Xu is here, but he hasn’t come yet. Too much You’re not following the rules!”

Xia Bingrong said angrily.

“Master Xia, there is no need to blame. Master Xia also knows that I also like poetry. Nephew Mu Bai went to the prefect’s mansion last night and discussed with me until late at night. It is estimated that Mu Bai returned to the mansion in the middle of the night. It’s understandable that you came a little late,”

Governor Xu explained for Feng Mubai.

Xia Bingrong listened and nodded: “Oh, that’s it. Let me tell you, Mu Bai is usually the most disciplined person. He has a good tutor. He shouldn’t be late for no reason.”

“…”

Listen. After the two people finished talking, Jing Zhe started to complain in a low voice.

“Master Xia is a little unreasonable!”

“He came with Prefect Xu, how could he not communicate with his apprentice?”

“Since he knew that Feng Mubai would come late, he still said those words, isn’t this a deliberate attempt to criticize Sang and Huai ?

Are you going to beat Miss Lin?”

“You’re acting like this, you’re a scholar!”

“Brother Jing, keep your voice down!”

Fatty Wei relaxed when he saw that everyone else was looking towards the stone table. tone.

“Actually, it’s easy to understand. Miss Lin is extremely talented and always outdoes Mr. Feng in every poetry meeting. As Mr. Feng’s teacher, Master Xia must be uncomfortable.”

“Besides, I heard that whether it is Mr. Feng or not, Master Xia must be uncomfortable.”

In addition to her father, Mr. Feng, she was also Taishou Xu, both of whom were disciples of Taifu Bai at that time. Miss Lin’s father, Mr. Lin, was an old friend of Prime Minister Zhu. It was said that Prime Minister Zhu and Taifu Bai were not in the same camp. Therefore, Master Xia It’s normal to be hostile to Miss Lin. “

“…”

Jing Zhe narrowed his eyes after listening to Fatty Wei’s explanation.

Good guy, it turns out that the governor of Jiangling is from the Xiangwang faction. No wonder Emperor An said it was the most difficult to come to Jiangling to open a newspaper branch. In addition to the xenophobia of Jiangling literati, I am afraid it has a lot to do with this.

Just imagine, if the parents and officials in Jiangling City do not support Jing Zhe’s work, it will be very difficult to open a newspaper branch. Even if the branch is opened, it will be equally difficult to operate smoothly.

It seems that after experiencing a heavenly start in Kunlun County, it will return to a hellish start mode after coming to Jiangling!

While Prefect Xu and Master Xia were chatting, they suddenly talked about today’s three calligraphy poems.

“I wonder what Master Xia thinks of the three calligraphy poems that will appear today?”

Prefect Xu asked.

“Since Miss Lin agreed to come to the Peach Blossom Poetry Contest, one of the calligraphy works must belong to Miss Lin. What do you think?

” The name never falls by the wayside, and they are still convinced of this.

Xia Bingrong nodded and continued: “Mubai has been taught by me since he was a child. I am very clear about his poetic talent, so I can guarantee that this second calligraphy treasure must belong to him. Do you have any Objection?”

“No.”

“Master Xia is right!”

“We also highly admire Mr. Feng’s poetry. How can we have any objection?”

“…”

Everyone started talking. It’s flattering Master Xia.
