Chapter 28 Easy Ya Conference (recommendation requested)

As the Duanyang Festival is approaching day by day, the weather in Jiangning City is getting hotter day by day, and the Yiya Conference of Zhao and Zheng is getting closer.

There are many kinds of gatherings and activities along the Qinhuai River, especially the most poetry gatherings. The Yiya Conference was the first time it happened, which caused a sensation in the entire Jiangning City. Waiting, hoping that this day will come soon, of course, there is no time to take care of those low-level people like traffickers and pawns.

Finally, the Duanyang Festival came as scheduled.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River, there is an exquisite and elegant garden named Jinxiang Garden. It was originally the Xie family's other property, and it was used as the venue for the Yiya Conference.

The Yiya conference was held in Jinxiang Garden.

This time, the fight between Zhao and Zheng was due to the two dandy Zhao Hao and Zheng Feng's fight, but it was because of the interests of the two families, and both sides put in their best efforts.

Zhao Xie was originally a family, but now the Zhao family provides the venue, which has the advantage of the host's home field.Although the Zheng family was reluctant, they didn't have a better venue than Jinxiang Garden, so they had to agree, but asked to bear all other expenses such as drinks, girls, etc., and they were considered half masters.

If it is said that every inch of land is precious in Jiangning City, every inch of land is precious by the Qinhuai River. Jinxiang Garden is not very large, but it is the largest and most luxurious garden by the Qinhuai River with only [-] to [-] acres of land.Its layout is exquisite, ancient charm is leisurely, there are all kinds of rockery and strange rocks, pavilions and waterside pavilions, and it is located by the Qinhuai River, where you can watch the river view.

Such a luxurious garden only accepts the upper-class people in Jiangning City, and occasionally some prestigious scholars and scholars. Even if ordinary people want to stand at the gate of the garden and look inside, they will be blown away with sticks.

Although many people in Jiangning City wanted to have a glimpse of this unprecedented Yi Ya Conference, not everyone could participate, and there were only a hundred people invited.

Although there were only over a hundred people, plus the servants who served, there were three to four hundred people. Tonight, the Jinxiang Garden was brightly lit and extremely lively.

In the central hall of the garden, there are banquets on all sides. On the south side are famous elders, celebrities, and big men who are at the top of the Jiangning rich list. On the north side are talented scholars and literati, and on the west side are women.And five tables and chairs are arranged in a row in front of the east, which are the seats for the judges of the Yi Ya Conference, and a few tables and chairs are scattered in the back, and those who can sit in the east are all Jiangning City has a great reputation, a predator that would shake the entire Jiangning City by stomping on it.

Xie Wen, a senior official of the Xie Mansion, is also Xie Yu's father and Zhao Hao's uncle; Zheng Qing, the manager of the Zheng Mansion; Xie Yun and Zhao Shiyu's husband and wife; Those who are very wealthy or highly respected in Jiangning City, except for the jury seats, have a total of no more than ten seats, which shows their dignity.

The first ones to be seated early were of course the top girls and scholars. They were lucky to be able to participate in this meeting, so they dare not let people wait.

As hosts, the Zhao family and the Zheng family naturally had to arrive early.

Zhao Hao came early with his parents, accompanied by Zhao Dian and a group of house slaves, and then his uncle Xie Wen, whom he met for the first time, also brought his cousin Xie Yu to the venue.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Qing and Zheng Feng also rushed in with a group of people.Zhao Shiyu is a regimental envoy from the fifth rank, he is also a son of the clan, and also the head of the Zhao family. Zheng Qing has no official status, and he is not the head of the Zheng family. Goodbye.

The older generation is naturally full of polite words, but the two younger ones are not so polite.

"Brother Zhao, although the business of the Hefeng Building is sluggish, the building in that area is probably worth tens of thousands of guan, and it will really cost my brother."

"Get out of your mother, kneel up straighter for me later, kowtow louder, ask elder brother to shout louder."

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Brother Zhao, why should you be angry? Brother Zhao's defeat is a certainty. I'm afraid that even Layman Meilin didn't invite him, which would be embarrassing."

"roll!"

The two cursed at each other in a low voice, but only the two could hear them, and what others saw was some kind words of greeting.

Gradually, those old and famous people also entered the venue one by one. The people gradually arrived, and the hall was full, and the distinguished guests on the east side gradually filled up.

At the judges' table in front, the great scholars Lu Qing and Zhou Jin were the first judges to arrive, and then the legendary Jushi Mei Lin came, surrounded by two maidservants.

The white clothes are like snow, the person is as clean as jade, and the veil is more mysterious.

Layman Meilin, a piece of music moves the south of the Yangtze River, and it is hard to find a piece of music in Jiangning City. Even if you are lucky enough to hear it occasionally, it is surrounded by veils, and you can only hear its voice, but not its person.

This was the first time Layman Meilin appeared in public wearing a veil, and the audience was in an uproar.

Layman Meilin still took his time, walked slowly to his seat, and sat down.

Zheng Feng stared blankly at the beautiful figure, his face turned slightly red.

It is not difficult for the Zhao family and the Zheng family to ask Layman Meilin to sing a song, but it is even more difficult to ask him to show his face in public.

Two years ago, at Zheng Qing's [-]th birthday party, he wanted to invite Layman Mei Lin to play the piano in public, but he was mercilessly refused, and in the end he had to play a song behind the curtain, that's all.

In his impression, Layman Meilin, who has always been reluctant to show his face in public, would not accept Zhao Hao's invitation no matter what. Who knew that Zhao Hao would complete the matter quietly.

Fortunately, on such an occasion, he didn't dare to speak loudly when he taunted Zhao Hao just now, otherwise the slap would have been severe.

Afterwards, Wang Tong, the Patriarch of the Wang family, and Wang Hanzhi, the prefect of Jiangning, came side by side. So far, all the important participants have been in place.

Although Wang Hanzhi is the official of Jiangning's parents, in recent years, the magistrate of Jiangning has been changed almost every year, and even two this year.Last year, Cai Yi, who was still in favor of Cai Jing, was replaced by Zhang Zhuang from Yingtianfu at the beginning of this year, and Wang Hanzhi within two months.

However, the year of Wang Han is 64, so it can be regarded as a sparrow in Dongting Lake who has seen big storms. He once went to the Liao Kingdom and wrote "Knowledge Records" and returned. He is honest, knowledgeable and versatile.Cheng Ju, a famous scholar, praised him: "With a brilliant posture, pure learning, and a keen talent, from the classics, political affairs, literature, calligraphy and painting, the beauty of health preservation, and the principles outside the prescription, all of them are superior to others, and they are unprecedented. , the temporary friendship number is the first."

If it hadn't been about the dispute between Zhao and Zheng, the four major families of Jiangning, the ordinary gathering would have determined not to invite this busy parent official to come to do such a hard job as a judge.

In this Yi Ya Conference, Zhao and Zheng were fighting each other, and Zhao Xie was another family. As a result, Wang Tong became the host of the Yi Ya Conference and made a grand opening remark, which probably meant that friendship was the first and competition was the second. , Immediately afterwards, the prefect Wang Hanzhi also said a scene, and the Yi Ya Conference officially started.
