Chapter 119 Guangling Tian Family
ten days later.

Yangzhou City, on the official road in the southeast direction.

A group of galloping riders, looking flustered, were fleeing for the road.

Behind the billowing dust and smoke rolled up by the horseshoes, a group of dense figures could be faintly seen, and some voices could be heard from among the figures: "Mr. Zihua, stay for a few days before leaving!", "Mr. Zihua, visit my house for a few days!", "Mr. Zihua, my family has a seventeenth daughter who is in full bloom. How about leaving after marrying the little girl?", "Mr. Zihua, don't leave..."

The group of people galloping ahead didn't seem to hear these words. Instead, they sped up their speed and desperately left the pursuers behind.

in a wood.

Seeing that all the "chasers" behind them disappeared, the group of riders stopped, got off their horses and landed, letting the sweaty horses rest for a while.

"It's dangerous, I was almost blocked by them just now." Zhang Yuan, a classmate, patted his chest and said with lingering fear.

"It is said that people in Yangzhou are hospitable, and when they meet a distinguished guest, they will use various means to keep this guest, and even give it to Meiji and marry their daughter. Now it seems that this statement is not false at all!" Cui Shian Wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Zhou Ming, whose breath was also a little messy, was still a little frightened at the moment.

In the coercion two days ago, the pretense was too great, and the repercussions caused were too enthusiastic, to the point where he almost put himself in it.

In fact, his strategy was very simple: after arriving in Yangzhou, he stayed in the "Deyun Tower" and burned incense for five days without any visitors.

During these five days, he sent out his classmates Zhang Yuan and Cui Shian to participate in several high-class social activities in Yangzhou City, such as poetry gatherings, receptions, banquets, etc., to prepare for his upcoming "Mr. Zihua" On the stage, we have done enough warm-up and foreshadowing.

Why do you say that?
Because these two classmates of Zhou Ming are not idle people.

Zhang Yuan, 24 years old, of medium height, with good facial features, is good at writing poems, especially the five-character poems he wrote. Even Zhou Ming thinks that if he doesn’t have the [Encyclopedia of Tang Poems and Song Poems] in his mind as a reference, he can write original poems by himself. , absolutely inferior to this talented classmate.

Cui Shi'an, 26 years old, tall and handsome, from a poor family, was exceptionally admitted by Wenyuan Academy because of his well-written articles, and the academy also exempted him from part of the tuition and miscellaneous fees. It is recognized that the article is the only one who can compare with the "Qingzhou Xueba". Zhou Ming also admitted that, except for the breadth of knowledge, Cui Shian is inferior to himself, and his style and momentum are not much inferior to himself.

Zhou Ming brought two students with outstanding talents with him. This is the intention. When geniuses and geniuses are together, they can have a common topic and learn from each other. Zhou Ming got a lot of inspiration from them, and the long-term mutual influence Under the circumstances, Zhang Yuan and Cui Shian naturally absorbed more nutrition from him.

Therefore, if Zhou Ming himself is a first-rate celebrity in the world, these two students, not to mention the same first-rate, definitely have the level of quasi-first-rate and second-rate celebrities. They still hold some "small scenes".

Therefore, during the five days of burning incense and bathing, these two classmates of Zhou Ming gained a lot of fame points and gained many fans in Yangzhou City.

And the role of these two students is just to warm up the publicity for his debut. Therefore, when the high-level activities are about to end, Zhang Yuan and Cui Shian humbly express: "My son Mr. Hua's talent and learning are ten times better than mine, which is far inferior to mine!"

They even made an image metaphor: "There is one stone in the world of talent and learning, we can get half of it, Fan Yang and Lu Zhaolin can get half of it, the world can be divided into one, and Mr. Zihua can get eight of them!"

After the allusion of being talented and talented came out, people from all over Yangzhou began to look forward to the already famous "Mr. Zihua" even more earnestly, and the letters of greetings and requests to see him piled up like a mountain.

Until Mr. Zihua's classmate Lu Wencai stood up and announced that the "Taihu Poetry Fair" would be held on the shore of Taihu Lake, and Mr. Zihua would also come to the stage. Literary figures, officials, celebrities and prostitutes almost all went to the "Taihu Lake Poetry Club" twenty miles west of the city, and saw the "Mr. With a long sword decorated with jade, Mr. Zihua looks like a god, a fairy, and a fairy with every gesture.

The story that happened afterwards is the reason why everyone fled in embarrassment today.

"Let's go to Guangling County. Guangling County is only more than two hundred miles away from Yangzhou City. The Guangling Tian family and my Anping Tian family are still two branches of the same line. Now that the Guanglingtian family has reversed it, it's time to say hello to them, tell them to pay attention and correct this problem..."

After the rest, Zhou Ming led the crowd towards Guangling City!

……

Guanglingtian family is the land of Yangzhou, a giant family that has stood for 500 years and has been prosperous!

Even, in this prosperous age, the Guangling Tian family has a more prosperous development trend!
Sixty percent of the world's salt industry is in the hands of this family.

Eighty percent of the 8 people in Guangling City belong to the Tian clan.

But in the state of Yangzhou, there are countless industries, countless resources, countless high-ranking officials, retainers and former officials, all of which are closely connected with this family.

Even in the city of Yangzhou, those salt merchants who were as rich as dirt and extremely extravagant were nothing more than little minions attached to this family.

After all, how can a 500-year-old giant be taken lightly?

Therefore, although Zhou Ming came to Guangling City with the purpose of finding fault, after entering the city, he still sent someone to send a letter of worship in a low-key manner, and visited this family in the name of the Haipingtian clan's son and Guanglingtian clan relative.

"Father, this Tian Zihua has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. In Wenyuan Academy, he is known as Qingzhou Xueba. Afterwards, he founded Zihua Bookstore. He has outstanding talents in the fields of articles, poems, and novels. In the field of painting, He even created a school of comics, known as Haiping Wenxian! In recent rumors, it is even rumored that Tian Jiantian Zihua, who is said to be "a talented stone in the world, has the best of all",! Unexpectedly, he is actually a member of our Guangling Tian family I should call him a cousin, hahaha! Father, this cousin, let the boy take care of him!"

In the room, a grown man with a short mustache looked at the greeting card on the table, with eagerness and a hint of admiration in his eyes, and excitedly said to the middle-aged man in front of him.

"Cheng'er, go ahead and treat him like a first-class guest."

The middle-aged man handed the invitation card to his eldest son Tian Cheng with a blank expression. After seeing his son holding the invitation card and rushing out of the room excitedly, the middle-aged man's face turned cold and he snorted coldly: "You are so talented. Don't be afraid of the strong wind flashing your tongue!"

As a distinguished guest, I stayed for three days in the castle-like VIP room of the Tian family. On the fourth day, as Zhou Ming expected, some young and energetic juniors of the Tian family in Guangling finally had a few of them who couldn't help but dance. When I came out, at a banquet, I asked Mr. Zihua to "ask for advice" by name.

Zhou Ming is of course willing to accompany him, poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the six arts of a gentleman, and even some side-by-side trails, he can come here.

Even Zhou Ming upped the ante and made a bet. At the banquet, in front of Tian Kuang, the head of the Tian family, he uttered wild words: "If I lose any round, from now on, I will quit the literary world and will not be a slut again." Deceiving the world and stealing the name in front of everyone! If I win, should the ancestral tablet and genealogy of the Tian family be returned to Haiping Tian?"

Family and country, family first, ancestral tablets and genealogy, like religious beliefs, are the most important things in this world, and the Guanglingtian family's method of snatching the ancestral genealogy from Haipingtian's hands is not bright 50 years ago, it was Tian Yin, the Patriarch of Guanglingtian Clan, who personally led [-] elite soldiers to Qingzhou, and in the name of "borrowing the genealogy of the ancestral card and seeing it, it will be returned in a year" to swindle and steal it. Those who came here were extremely despicable.

Because the incident happened not too long ago, although the younger generation of the Guanglingtian family didn't have any impression of it, or didn't know it happened at all, and there was an uproar, but the middle-aged and older generation still knew about it. Clear, very clear.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Ming said this, he was hostile to him, or Tian Kuang, the head of the family who was a little guilty, did not dare to answer this question, nor did he dare to agree to this bet.

However, when he saw that the juniors in the family who were outstanding in learning were irritated by his wild words one after another, when they stood up to challenge this "Mr. More than a dozen children of the Haipingtian family were selected, ready to suppress the arrogance of the son of the Haipingtian family!

Tian Kuang murmured: "Thinking of my Guangling Tian family, there are countless young talents, extraordinary talents, outstanding talents and learning everywhere! An will be afraid of you, a little boy? Boy, this time, you not only have to flash your tongue! From now on, I have to obediently quit the literary world and become that retired Tian family man!"

Tian Kuang is full of confidence in his heart!
Three days later, the sky was clear and the sky was clear. On the outskirts of Guangling, a place where outings and gatherings are often held!

A talent competition is being held grandly!

Haiping Wenxian Tian Zihua VS the eighteen best young talents of the Guangling Tian family.

A match of many against few, home against away, three thousand home supporters against a dozen away supporters, has officially begun!

However, at the beginning of the competition, the performance of the eighteen best young talents from the Guanglingtian family was surprising and there was an uproar.

Tian Qian, a master of poetry, wrote a seven-character quatrain that can be sung through the ages, which aroused applause from the audience, but in turn, he was shocked by a more brilliant seven-character poem. .

Tian Ming is a talented writer and a good writer. He once wrote "Yangzhou Fu", which caused the phenomenon of "Yangzhou paper is expensive" in Yangzhou city. He should not miss it again, right?Sorry, the article he wrote today, although it can be regarded as a first-class masterpiece, compared with Tian Zihua's "Ode to Paradise on Earth", which can be called the first poem in the ages, in terms of rhetoric, antithesis, charm, etc. They are all inferior. After watching this Fu, none of the people present dared to say with conscience: Tian Ming’s Fu is better than this "Ode to Paradise on Earth", which may cause "the world is expensive".

Tian Qi, a young Go genius, the most powerful Go player in Yangzhou, was once defeated by him, but in today's Go event, he only played 120 moves before he lost.

Tian Shu, a math genius, was hanged and beaten.

There are also competitions on policy theory, painting, calligraphy, swordsmanship, archery, etc., all of which were brutally abused by Tian Zihua.

After seventeen competitions in a row, the talented Guangling Tian family lost every game.

A feeling of pessimism, despair, and powerlessness shrouded the hearts of the young talents of the Tian family and more than 3000 supporters.

Looking at the personable and confident Tian Zihua on the stage, everyone had a question in their hearts: Is there really someone in this world who can be so evil?
"Don't be afraid, we still have Sister Fuxiang! Sister Fuxiang's piano skills are unparalleled in the world. Even her mentor, Mr. Ji Kang, said that there will be no second person in this world who can surpass Sister Fuxiang. We will not lose." , we still have hope!"

A deafening voice came from the crowd at this moment.

Everyone in the Tian family was shocked!
"That's right, we still have Sister Fuxiang, how could we lose?"

"I've heard Sister Fuxiang's piano sound, and I stood there stupidly for a long time, thinking in my heart: It's impossible to hear the piano sound better than this in the world, right?"

"I heard that there was a cow that, after listening to a zither played by Sister Fuxiang, didn't eat grass for three days and three nights, and almost starved to death; there was also a bird in the sky, after hearing the sound of Sister Fuxiang's zither, it stopped vibrating its feathers. Chi, fell to his death... In order not to kill in vain, I heard that Sister Fuxiang only dared to play a song in a place where there are no living things."

"I'm sure I'll win this round! Tian Zihua, Haiping Wenxian's accomplishments in rhythm, is unknown. When he meets our sister Fuxiang, he will definitely lose!"

"If Tian Zihua can win this too, I am willing to put my head under the seat of the gentlemen!"

The members of the Tian clan, as if injected with a booster, became full of confidence.

Amidst the heated discussions among the crowd, a woman in a white dress, with ice-like skin and a temperament like a fairy, was holding a strange piano in her arms, which was black in color, simple in shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Ting stepped onto the stage and stood opposite Zhou Ming.

The surrounding air seemed to move without wind, and Zhou Ming felt a strong pressure from the woman holding the piano.
