Chapter 91 Cloud Extracts Public Opinion
Someone actually said what Yunxuan was missing after Lord Ouyang Xiu said elegant. Everyone followed the sound and saw a little book boy standing in front of the bookcase. The child was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Wang's face sank: "Juan Chang, how can there be no rules for the adults to speak here?"
It was Cai Jing who spoke. If it was his own idea, he would not dare to say so. This was all instructed by Lu Shenyan. Moreover, he understood that what Master Lu could instruct must be acquiesced by the prince.
Cai Jing bowed to the adults and said, "The prince, Yunxuan, is carefully conceived everywhere, but the prince doesn't know why, but he forgot to post some calligraphy and paintings here. This painting of the dragon still needs to be the finishing touch. Xiao Ke is not talented. When everyone was tasting tea, he made a pair of "group sages tasting tea"
Wang said in a low voice: "There are all college questions here. How can you show it again? I can't forget the lesson."
Lord Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "The knowledge is not in the identity. This little book boy can say yes. I didn't bring a congratulatory gift today. It's better to suggest a painting and decorate this Yunxuan."
Wang was overjoyed and said to Cai Jing, "Why don't you hand over the painting to Lord Ouyang Xiu?" After saying that, there were two tea girls, one of whom lifted the painting in front of Ouyang Xiu and everyone.
Ouyang Xiu looked at it and nodded with a smile and said, "This child's writing power is not small. The layout of Yunxuan and the elegance of the incense burner kite girl. You see, we are all in the painting, tasting tea, reading books, talking, playing chess, and each on the paper. It's rare to have such a painter.
When Ouyang Xiu said this, Su Xun said to Wang Anshi, "Your Lang's book boy has this knowledge. I don't know which child this is?"
Wang Bian hurriedly explained, "This is Cai Jing, the cousin of Lord Cai Xiang, the governor of Jianzhou, who humbled himself to Xiao Ke's door."
Su Shi listened to the praise and said, "No wonder Cai Jun Mo (Cai Xiang) has high talent, deep learning, corresponding heart and hands, and endless changes. It is already powerful, and so is his cousin."
Su Shi's calligraphy and painting are unparalleled among today's young people, so someone said, "Since this book boy throws bricks to attract jade, it's better to follow the advice of Lord Ouyang Xiu, let's make poems and paintings separately, and highlight the Yunxuan, which is also a thank you to the prince next to the king."
This proposal is for the time being, but Wang said, "Slow down"
Everyone looked at him with a smile: "The distinguished guests are all people in the university. Xiao Kezhi is to make your knowledge famous all over the world, so I have a suggestion. On weekdays, everyone inscribed poems and paintings here. Please ask Rong Xiaoke to print them into a magazine and widely disseminate them. During this period, there will be some benefits for the maintenance of Yunxuan. What do you think?
The person sitting there smiled and said, "You pay two silver, set up Yunxuan here, that is, you earn two silver, and you can keep it. What's more, it is said to print the poems and paintings here into a journal to make us famous.
Wang looked at Wang Anshi. Lord Wang Anshi nodded with approval. He looked at Ouyang Xiu again and said to his heart that as long as Lord Ouyang Xiu had no objection, this matter would be a great success.
Ouyang Xiu also thought it was a good idea, but he asked, "If there is no virtuous nephew, Yunxuan's name is very good. Drinking tea here is like in the clouds, but I don't know how to name this publication?"
It doesn't work without a good name. Hearing Ouyang Xiu, Wang said quickly, "I'm interested in asking you to nominate me."
Ouyang Xiu thought in his heart that this cloud, some people follow the cloud, can also be used to spread and speak directly. This publication extracts from everyone and said directly, "This cloud word is available. I suggest how about "cloud picking"
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the bookcase with the inscription "Cloud Pick". Wang Zong smiled and said, "According to the adult's proposal, everyone has come to listen to the kite song and taste the fragrant tea, please."
Wang saw that everyone was very interested, or talked about Yunxuan, or commented on calligraphy and painting, and knew that Yunxuan was worry-free. They are talking and laughing on the second floor of Yunxuan.
There are already crowds outside Yunxuan. Most of them stop in front of the bulletin board. Previously, Lord Ouyang Xiu praised Yun Xuanya. He had seen the announcement, and also saw Cai Jing throwing bricks to attract jade's "Tao Ming Tu", which attracted people who could not enter Yunxuan to be really envious and jealous.
Xiao Lu went out and posted the notice of "Cloud Pick" in the bulletin board. Someone gathered around him. He finally rushed out of the encirclement. He returned to the second floor and said to Wang, who was drinking tea and chatting with Zhong Jian and others, "Sir, I think you have to stay downstairs until dark."
Everyone laughed and said, "There are all kinds of food downstairs. If you are hungry, you can solve it by yourself"
Wang said, "Don't worry, everyone. Our Yunxuan has a back door. If there is something important to go in and out, you can go to the back door." After saying that, he thought to himself that there was no way before.
Lord Ouyang Xiu went to the window, listened to the noise outside, pushed open a little window and looked out, and said to Wang Anshi and Su Xun next to him, "Look, now the streets are full of people who go to Beijing to take exams. What are the many people on this street?"
The three of them looked out, and Su Xun said with a smile, "I'm ashamed that the last subject was the same as the second son in the last subject, and it has just passed this situation."
Lord Wang knew that Su Xun was polite. Although this person was late in the scientific examination, he was famous for his talent earlier, so he said, "On the twenty-seventh year of the Mingyun, he began to speak indignantly about the Six Classics and a hundred schools of thought, and wrote thousands of words in an instant. This is known to the world.
Ouyang Xiu also praised Su Xun. Among other things, Su Xun's teaching children are admirable, and both sons have their attainment, so he said, "The Book of Power", "The Theory of Balances, "Ji Ce" and other articles, which are comparable to Jia Yi and Liu Xiang."
As soon as Ouyang Xiu finished speaking, someone came to ask if Lord Ouyang's praise could be used on cloud picking. Ouyang Xiu thought that I must have said it from the bottom of my heart, so he said, "Of course I can"
There is a book boy's record, come down.
Then Shen Kuo came over to serve tea to the three adults and said with a smile, "Just now, Wang said that we can't get out now. If we want to leave or come in, we need to go through the back door."
Wang Anshi and Su Xun, Ouyang Xiu had no choice but to smile, and Ouyang talked to Wang Anshi about the annual "group meeting"
The officials present all said, oh, this is a headache. However, everyone has also experienced it. When it comes to interesting things in the group, they resonate and laugh.
It turns out that scholars in remote places do not understand the etiquette and norms of the imperial court, and the arrangement is disorderly, and the officials cannot restrain it. On the day of the group meeting, the officials first set up a forbidden fence in front of the position, and everyone knelt down outside the fence, in order to limit their forward arrangement.
Lord Ouyang Xiu shook his head helplessly: "The children want to see the emperor's power and pull each other in order to look at the emperor. Look, after seeing that group, there are often people in untidy clothes.
Shen Kuo laughed and said, "Is it like me today?" Everyone looked at him and knew that he was late, but he was pulled by the curious people outside.
Wang Anshi said, "You are nothing. The officials in charge of this group are afraid of this matter. I heard that in recent years, only Xie Yuan, the first place in the township examination, have been seen. Even so, there are still no less than a few hundred people."
Shen Kuo said, "During the years of Jiayou, I'm ashamed. I'm also in Xieyuan, and I became a row and stood in the forefront. I saw that only one or two lines from the front of the queue were slightly in line with the etiquette of kneeling and standing up, and the rest were finally over.
Ouyang Xiu laughed and said, "But it's a burden in the cabinet. There is a joke about the group meeting in the court. Guess what are the three that can't be arranged neatly"
Everyone looked at each other in front of each other. Only some people knew the allusions and laughed, and even Shen Kuo laughed.
Those who didn't know asked each other. Wang said that this question is a list of riddles. If so, it is also a good thing to read the cloud and pick up the subgroup.
Miti, the scholar boy who pulled the middle needle beside Cai Jing, asked, "Sir, tell me quickly. I'm worried about this riddle."
Miti whispered to Cai Jing: "I heard Mr. Zhongzhen say that there are three kinds of people who can't line up neatly, people, foreigners and camels."
Cai Jing didn't expect it to say this. He didn't dare to laugh loudly and ran to the side to block the secret smile with his sleeves of his clothes.
Wang saw that Yunxuan was ready, and everyone drank tea and chatted separately. In the book case, three or five people wrote poems and paintings, and took turns to send gifts to Yunxuan. The upstairs was basically arranged, so he came to the first floor and still stopped outside the door. So he ordered a tea girl to demonstrate how to taste tea under the eaves outside Yunxuan.
Everyone watched it with relish. Xiao Lu walked to the king and said, "Son, now the silver medal bidding for Yunxuan has reached 500 taels of silver. Do you want to buy one or two?
Wang side shook his head with a smile. Originally, he didn't want to sell more Yunxuan's entry card. He calculated that even if 30 copper coins were picked, hundreds of thousands of copies would be sent to the whole country. The higher the value of Yunxuan's silver medal, the better the sales of Yunxuan. What's more, there is a special advertising position on the cloud picking, which is also hard to find.
He turned around and said to Xiao Lu, "Now you can sell loose tea, and give a set of special tea sets for every ten catties of loose tea. You ordered someone to post a notice and be optimistic about the teahouse business.
This time, the tea set king has been prepared. A kiln for him to make tea sets has been prepared since he went to Jianzhou with Lu Shenyan for the first time. Otherwise, he would not dare to be in the fairy cave and tell Yuanze to change the tea style.
The notice posted that Xiao Lu immediately returned to the tea market in the southwest of the capital not far from Meyer's mansion. Wang went back to Yunxuan and saw that the fine works of calligraphy and painting were arranged in Yunxuan. Listening to everyone's praise, he was very happy. The hot business of the tea market must be expected, and one step in the whole game is being laid out.
No matter how exquisitely arranged by Yunxuan on the side of Wang, no matter how talented the literati are, he can't resist the emperor's nodding cloud pick. If you want to win the hearts of the people, you should first have public opinion. The king should use the cloud picks to read the people outside the mansion, which can make one person famous or become the target of public criticism. Everything should be in his grasp, not to mention when the clouds are picked all over the country, what to look for is naturally more well-informed feedback, such as the stone he is looking for.
