Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 80 Xue Family Goes to Beijing
Li Chong rented a large boat and took everyone to visit Dongting.

Naturally, all ten people from Wansong Academy came, and five or six people from each of the other three academies came.

Plus more than 20 people from Yueyang Academy, the boat was packed to the brim.

Dongting Lake, located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, was called Yunmengze in ancient times.

The name Dongting began during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was named after Dongting Mountain (also known as Junshan) in the lake.

The eight-hundred-mile Dongting is vast and boundless. When you are in it, you only feel that the water and sky are the same color, as if you are in the vast ocean.

Everyone was boating on the lake, talking about poetry and essays, and Jia Qiong was naturally the central figure.

Those who can come today are all elites from various academies, and they are also a group of people who agree with Jia Qiong's views. They all have a strong interest in Jia Qiong's legendary experience.

Naturally, Jia Qiong will not miss this opportunity. There is a high probability that these people will become officials in the court in the future.

This is a good opportunity for him to spread his ideas, find like-minded people, and cultivate the wings of his cronies.

So on this day, Jia Qiong's mouth was never idle.

He answered various questions, told about his growth experience, and by the way "brainwashed" this group of people and spread his ideas.

Jia Qiong was very tired at the end of the day, but she also gained a lot.

More than half of the elite students from the four major academies have become his fans, and the rest are also potential allies.

At Jia Qiong's suggestion, the four major academies also established their own chivalry clubs.

Leaders from various academies such as Han Wei, Jiang Wuji, Cheng Yulong, and Li Chong all joined in.

Jia Qiong stipulates that all branches are equal, there is no reporting relationship, and each branch is managed independently.

They just set up a liaison agency together to exchange information and strengthen ties.

The concepts and rules adhered to by these branches are all copied from the Wansong Academy Chivalry Club.

So they are actually seeds that can continuously spread Jia Qiong's ideas everywhere, cultivate like-minded people, and strengthen his wings.

Is there anyone who can see through Jia Qiong's mind? The answer is definitely yes.

There are many extremely smart people here. It is impossible that no one will see through it, but no one will say it out.

Since ancient times, some friends have formed friendships based on benefits, while others have formed relationships based on righteousness.

Those who guard are moral, those who act are loyal, and those who cherish are honorable.

If you use it to cultivate yourself, you will be of the same mind and benefit each other; if you use it to serve the country, you will be of the same mind and help each other; if you are the same from beginning to end, you are the friend of a gentleman!
Everyone present believed that the chivalry club founded by Jia Qiong was a friend of gentlemen bound by righteousness and a party of righteousness.

At this point, Jia Qiong's status as a leader of Jiangnan scholars has begun to appear. In two or three years, it will be another story.

Jia Qiong's trip to Yueyang can definitely be regarded as a fruitful return.

Three days later, everyone from Wansong Academy boarded a passenger ship and set sail back.

Also traveling with them was Yingtian Academy and his party. They were on the way and rented a boat together.

Going down the river is very fast and you can reach Hangzhou in less than two months.

When they returned, the situation of this cultural conference had spread rapidly.

Jinling City, the inner courtyard of the Wang family.

Wang Yuyan was concentrating on reading in the garden when a sudden shout startled her.

She raised her head and looked over, but it was Wang Yi who was dancing and running over holding two pieces of paper.

Wang Yuyan frowned and said: "You are so old, why are you still so unstable?

If you don't study hard in the academy, why come back? "

Wang Yi didn't care about his sister's accusation. He shook the two pages of paper in his hand and said, "Sister, what do you think is written on it?"

Wang Yuyan was unmoved and said calmly: "I don't want to guess.

If you can't give me a reason to skip school, I'll tell your mother and see how she punishes you. "

"Farewell, sister, I am doing this all for your own good. These are two new poems written by Brother Qiong. I will send them to you as soon as I get the letter.

The mountain leader is also serious, why didn't you take me there in the first place? I heard that this literary meeting was wonderful..."

Wang Yi's eyes were full of excitement as he recounted everything he had heard about the literary conference, which made Wang Yuyan's heart surge with excitement and smile.

"You are so poorly educated, do you want me to embarrass you?"

After Wang Yuyan finished speaking, she snatched the paper from Wang Yi's hand, opened it, glanced at it, and immediately closed it again.

She said to Wang Yi with a straight face: "Okay, the letter has been delivered.

You should go back to the academy as soon as possible. Don't always ask for leave and run out when you have nothing to do.

Also, why haven’t your characters improved after so long? Go back and read the Wei stele fifty times and leave it to me next time you’re on vacation. "

Wang Yi's face turned green after hearing this, and he wailed: "What! I came here to deliver a message to you out of kindness.

Besides, there are only five days left before my next vacation. How can I have time to visit Wei Monument fifty times? "

Wang Yuyan smiled and said: "I know you have good intentions, and my sister also has good intentions.

With your name, how can you become an official in the future? It will make people laugh.

Fifty times is a bit too much, so try 45 times. "

"..." Wang Yi.

After sending her brother away, Wang Yuyan immediately returned to her room, happily reading these two poems several times and keeping them in her mind.

Then she took out a book with a very delicate cover and carefully transcribed the two poems.

This book only has writing on a dozen pages, but Wang Yuyan often reads it because it contains poems written by Jia Qiong.

Every time she saw these poems, she was very happy, as if Jia Qiong was beside her.

Now Wang Yuyan is seventeen years old, but the wedding date has not been set yet.

She and Jia Qiong are separated again, so she can only use this to relieve the pain of lovesickness.

At this moment, on a carriage driving out of Jinling City, a woman was also reading Jia Qiong's work, but it was not Jia Qiong's new poems, but the novel Tian Long Ba Bu.

Her skin is as white as snow, her appearance is plump, and her manners are elegant.

She has the appearance of a fish sinking like a geese and is not inferior to Wang Yuyan.

Next to her sat two little maids, both of whom looked outstanding.

It's just that one of them has a somewhat ignorant and timid appearance, but at first glance he seems to have a docile personality, while the other one is much more agile.

These three people are Xue Baochai, Xiang Ling and Yinger's master and servant.

Ying'er opened a corner of the window, looked at the city wall gradually going away, and asked, "Girl, how long does it take for us to go to Chang'an?"

"It should take more than half a year." Xue Baochai.

"How long does it take?" Ying'er said.

"Yes, we have to check out the businesses along the way, so we will naturally walk slower." Xue Baochai.

Xiangling suddenly asked timidly, "Girl, when can we come back?"

This poor girl was kidnapped from childhood and traveled around the world.

She finally found a "home", and she didn't want to leave this place that could give her warmth.

Xue Baochai put down the book in his hand, touched Xiang Ling's head and said, "Silly girl, we can't come back.

But when we get to Chang'an City, we will have a new home. "

The carriages and horses are rattling, the Xue family embarks on the road to Beijing, and the twelve beauties of Jinling are about to gather in Chang'an.

At this time in Shenjing City, after waiting in the capital for more than half a year, Jia Yucun finally got his wish to fill the vacancy of Yingtian Prefect and was about to take office.
