"What is this person trying to do?"
"Could it be that you also want to visit Mister Sun Chuo?”
"Didn't you see that even Wang Lantian, who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, was rejected? You actually want to try your luck!"
"Ridiculous. If Mister Sun Chuo could be seen so easily, why would we still be here?”
"To think that I saw his extraordinary demeanor and thought that he was a talented person. I didn't expect him to be such an ignorant person.”
"Let's just watch as he gets rejected outside the door."
When the surrounding scholars saw Liang Shanbo's actions, they immediately turned their gazes over.
They planned to watch the show.
He wanted to see how this person was chased out by Mister Sun Chuo's butler.
The young man who was rejected outside the door was also sitting in the carriage. Seeing Liang Shanbo's actions, his expression softened.
He had been ridiculed by the crowd earlier and was furious.
Now that he saw that there were still people paying a visit, the attention of the others was also attracted. This was exactly what he wanted.
Logically speaking.
At this moment, he should have the same feelings as Liang Shanbo, standing on the same side.
However, he was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan and had always looked down on others.
How could he put himself on the same level as others?
Therefore, at this moment, not only did he not sympathize with him, he was even gloating over his misfortune, thinking that Liang Shanbo was just asking to be humiliated.
"I, the Wang family of Taiyuan, am of great prestige.”
"I went to visit Mister Sun Chuo but was rejected because Mister Sun Chuo was extremely knowledgeable and arrogant.”
"But who are you to visit Mister Sun Chuo?”
"I want to see how you will be humiliated!”
Thinking of this, his heart relaxed a little.
At this moment.
Although everyone's discussion was soft, it still reached Liang Shanbo's ears.
However, he did not care.
Carrying the etiquette of seeing the beam of cultivation, as he walked, his clogs were crisp, his sleeves fluttered, and his posture was calm.
He walked to the door and knocked lightly.
Soon, an old servant came to open the door. Before it was fully opened, he said,"Old Master, forgive me for not seeing you. I should leave first and not disturb you again.”
As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
"Old sir, please wait."
Liang Shanbo calmly cupped his hands and bowed,""I am Liang Shanbo of Kuaiji Mountain Yin. Yesterday, I sent a visiting card and a letter from my master.”
Hearing this, the old servant took a closer look at Liang Shanbo and realized that this person was the one who sent the invitation card yesterday.
Thinking of the old master's exhortation after reading the letter yesterday, he immediately said,"So it's Young Master Liang. Forgive this old servant for not recognizing you earlier.”
"Old Master specifically instructed that if Young Master comes to visit today, you can enter the door directly…Young Master, please come in.”
As he spoke, the old servant opened the door and invited Liang Shanbo in.
"Thank you, old man."
Liang Shanbo cupped his hands and walked towards the courtyard.
Seeing this scene.
Everyone on the lawn was shocked.
" He…he can actually enter?"
"What is going on?"
"Why did Mister Sun Chuo let this person in? This young master looks extraordinary. Could he be Wang Xie's son?”
The group of scholars discussed animatedly and were all dumbfounded.
He had thought that Liang Shanbo would also be rejected, but who knew that this person would actually be able to enter.
"What is the background of this child?"
"Just now, I vaguely heard that the young man claimed to be Liang Shanbo of Kuaiji Mountain Yin. Yesterday, he sent a letter and a visiting card.”
"Liang Shanbo? Forgive me for my shallow knowledge, but I don't know the background of this Shanyin County's Liang Family!”
"I vaguely remember that the Shanyin Liang Family is only a low-class aristocratic family!”
"This is impossible!"
"How could a mere lowly noble family get an audience with Mister Sun Chuo? This is impossible!”
"Of course not, but it is said that Liang Shanbo has recently become quite famous in Kuaiji Prefecture. He is good at calligraphy and is proficient in Confucianism. It is said that his knowledge and calligraphy have even been praised by the elders of the Zhu family in Shangyu.”
"It is said that the Thin Muscle Body was created by him. Even Duke Anshi praised him, so his reputation has been quite high recently!”
"What?! He was the one who created the Thin Tendon Body? This skinny body had recently attracted the attention of many people in the counties, and many scholars wanted to learn it, but they had never been able to learn it…For Liang Shaolang to have such talent, it was only natural for him to be able to meet with Teacher Sun Chuo.”
As the crowd discussed, they had already recounted all of Liang Shanbo's recent achievements.
Unknowingly.
Their address of Liang Shanbo had changed from 'this child' to 'young master'.
It could be seen that their mentality had changed.
After mentioning the Thin Gold Body.
These scholars began to discuss this topic. In their words, they held Liang Shanbo in high esteem.
I can't help but praise him.
Even Duke Anshi had praised him, so how could they say anything bad?
Moreover, he had to be careful.
Nowadays, the most popular topic in Kuaiji, Wu County, and the surrounding areas was the skinny body. Whenever scholars gathered to discuss calligraphy, they would definitely not be able to avoid this point.
The so-called celebrities, drinking wine, chatting, and gathering were nothing more than talking about metaphysics, chess, calligraphy, and painting.
It was just like the tea party in the future.
However, they were more elegant.
The topics they talked about were all popular and interesting.
For example, the recent skinny gold body. Everyone was discussing it fervently, but you didn't know anything. You couldn't even interrupt. Wouldn't that be awkward?
To put it bluntly.
These aristocratic children and children of the common families were actually equivalent to star-chasers.
And those top celebrities were like celebrities and idols.
If a celebrity idol recommended someone, wouldn't the fans below hurry up and plant grass?
As for scholars recommended by celebrities, because they were respected by fans, they would quickly accumulate a large amount of fame and get to know more celebrities.
In the end, he gradually made himself a celebrity.
For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the monthly review hosted by Xu Shao and his brother from Runan County was mainly to evaluate and criticize current characters, poems, calligraphy, and paintings.
No matter who it was, once they commented on it, their value would be a hundred times higher, and it would spread in the secular world as a beautiful story.
For example, Zhong Rong, who was born in the Zhong family, had written the same poem.
This was actually the self-canonization of celebrities.
As long as you are in this circle.
His background and knowledge were both better than others.
Once the celebrities recommend you, your reputation will immediately soar and you will be in hot demand.
And now.
With the recommendation of Minister Zhu and the praise of Xie An, who lived in seclusion on East Mountain, Liang Shanbo's reputation began to accumulate.
His reputation spread throughout the counties.

ps：
Shu Xiu (xiu): In ancient times, when students and teachers met for the first time, they would first give gifts to show their respect. This was called "Shu Xiu", which was the same as "Shu Xiu Shu Shu Tiao".
Shuxiu was the marinated pork. Later on, it basically meant the apprenticeship fee, which was also the tuition fee.
Zhi (zhi) see: that is, holding gifts to ask for an audience, the meaning of meeting gifts.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms chapter 12: Xu Chu said: "I want to take these two people, as a gift to meet."”
[Wooden clogs: When it comes to wooden clogs, everyone thinks that they are a specialty of the Wei Nation. In fact, wooden clogs were invented in ancient China.]
The clogs were a type of two-toothed wooden shoes that creaked when they walked. They were suitable for walking on rainy days and mud in the south. It was a common shoe before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, especially during the Han Dynasty. It was very common and belonged to a type of Han clothing. It was later introduced to the Wei Nation and has been popular until now.
In order to avoid everyone's doubts, I will explain it here.
