The chat between Zhang Yue and Wang Anguo got started. Wang Anguo couldn't help but get into the conversation and kept enthusiastically advising: "Eat vegetables, Qingfenglou's three-step soup is very good."
Listening to Wang Anguo's greeting, Zhang Yue nodded, picked up his chopsticks and ate a few things. Looking sideways, he saw a waiter in the hall holding three bowls of food with his left hand, and stacking about 20 bowls of food with his right arm from hand to shoulder. He walked up the stairs skillfully.
Zhang Yue ate a few dishes and thought they were very good, but that was all. Speaking of which, Zhang Yue still missed the era when a mobile phone could travel all over the country.
Wang Anguo said with a smile: "It must be a very hard life in Taixue."
Zhang Yue said: "I'm used to it."
"I heard that Zhang Zihou is Sanlang's brother? Forgive me for talking too much."
Zhang Yue smiled.
"I wonder who Saburo's teacher is in the village?"
Zhang Yue said: "My teacher is Mr. Boyi."
Wang Anguo said: "Unexpectedly, he is a disciple of Mr. Boyi. Can you see Sanlang's calligraphy?"
Zhang Yue agreed.
Wang Anguo immediately ordered people to get paper and pen, and then Zhang Yue wrote running script, then regular script, and finally settled on seal script.
Wang Anguo sighed: "Sanlang has obtained the true inheritance of Zhang Boyi. I am afraid there are not many young people today who can be like Sanlang. Yes, there are some."
"When I first looked at Cai Junmo (Cai Xiang)'s two nephews, they were not as young as Sanlang, but their writing skills were equally outstanding."
Cai Xiang’s two nephews? Could they be brothers Cai Jing and Cai Bian?
Wang Anguo said seriously: "Just now, Sanlang said that interests should be given to relatives first, then to the gentry, to the people of the country, and then to the world. It is really a wise saying." Sanlang studied under Chen Guling and under the sect of Ouyang Xueshi, but as far as I know, the two of them You can’t say that, right?”
Zhang Yue said: "Yes, these are some of my opinions, but I hope I can help my dear brother."
Wang Anguo said: "Oh? Sanlang and my brother are strangers. Why are you willing to say such heartfelt words? To be honest, what Sanlang just said is something that even people who meet for the first time may not be willing to say easily."
Zhang Yue thought, that's natural. I know your brother from Chinese and history classes. "The Spring Breeze Is Green Again on the South Bank of the River", "A Journey to Baochan Mountain", "Shang Zhongyong", your brother and Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan They are all people who the majority of primary and secondary school students do not want to mention but cannot help but be deeply impressed by.
Zhang Yue said: "I read Brother Zun's Travels in Praise of Zen Mountain, and I was deeply impressed by the preciseness of the words, the lofty artistic conception, and the perseverance in determination. I once thought it was the best article in the world. Now I read "Reading the Biography of Lord Mengchang" and I know that Brother Zun Being stubborn is also a piece of strength."
"For the few literary works with profound meanings, there is nothing better than "Reading the Biography of Lord Mengchang", which is only a hundred words, and each word is like iron. As for "The Theory of Overcoming the Qin Dynasty", which has a thousand words, the meaning is so thin, so it is not enough."
At this point, Zhang Yue pretended to make a mistake and said: "I made a mistake, please forgive me, Brother Wang."
Wang Anguo smiled boldly and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. My brother is a stubborn person."
When Wang Anshi visited Baochan Mountain, Wang Anguo also accompanied him there, so at the end of the article, he has his younger brother An Guoping.
However, this is not enough to impress Wang Anguo.
Since Wang Anshi was released as the fifth Jinshi, he has been his mentor and friend with Ouyang Xiu and Zeng Gong. He has been famous in the world for more than ten years, and his admirers are certainly not in the minority.
Of course, Wang Anguo also admired his brother very much, especially his articles, so he asked: "Yes, why did Sanlang like "A Journey to Baochan Mountain", but now he prefers "Reading the Biography of Mengchang Jun"?"
Zhang Yue said with a smile: "It is said in ancient and modern times that Lord Mengchang can win scholars, but this is not true. The world thinks that the sea is open to all rivers, and it is great to have tolerance!"
When Wang Anguo heard this, he was deeply impressed by Zhang Yue's extraordinary use of words and sentences. One of these two sentences came from annotations, and the other came from Shangshu, and they were so cleverly combined by Zhang Yue.
"In the old days, it was thought that Lord Mengchang could be said to win people, but this is not the case. Nowadays, there is a saying in the court that a gentleman can use it, and a villain can use it. A gentleman has a gentleman's use, and a villain has a villain's use. If the two are mixed, they will not dare to fail each other.
disaster."
Wang Anguo said: "If you make a mistake, how can a gentleman cause trouble?"
Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said: "Since ancient times, rivers have been turbid and rivers have been clear. However, the flooding of rivers can also cover up high mountains."
Seeing Zhang Yue's 'you know' smile, Wang Anguo's eyes lit up, he nodded with deep understanding and said: "This is a wise saying."
Zhang Yue added: "Therefore, the king likes flattery when employing people, and does not even care about the origins of the roosters, dogs, and thieves, and then mixes them with gentlemen. But if the gentleman and the villain stand together in the court, can the gentleman fight against the villain? Or is he willing to fight with the villain?
Are you in the company of villains?"
"If you can't fight, you won't."
Zhang Yue said: "Yes, when gentlemen and villains stand side by side, either the gentleman will run away and be unfaithful, or he will join in the evil deeds and eventually lose his integrity. This principle is not only used in the court, but also in cultivating one's character and making friends.
In this way, you must not be careless when choosing friends, and you must not say, "The sea is open to all rivers, and tolerance is great."
Wang Anguo's eyebrows danced with joy and he said: "Of course, Sanlang is truly a genius in the world."
For Wang Anguo, his talents and knowledge are not inferior to those of his brother Wang Anshi, but it is really unimaginable to praise such a young man so much.
However, Wang Anguo admired him even more from the bottom of his heart. He thought that except for his brother Wang Anshi, he had never seen anyone better than him in his life. As for exchanging compliments with his brother as "Confucius" and "Laozi"
My nephew Wang Yu is even worse than the young man in front of me.
The two were chatting happily, Zhang Yue thought to himself that he had almost said everything, and the road had been paved, so Wang Anguo should say the next sentence, "Since you want to get to know my brother, then you can do it some other time."
I'd like to introduce you to you. It's better to choose a day like today.
This is much more reliable than Zhang Yue going to Wu Anzhi for a recommendation.
Wang Anguo and Wang Anshi not only share the same mother, but are also the youngest among several younger brothers, so their relationship is naturally very close.
Wang Anguo also admired Zhang Yue very much, but he looked at Zhang Yue from top to bottom, and then said: "Sanlang is young, not only has he learned a lot, but he is also a talented person. It is really rare, rare. I don't know... I don't know.
Have you ever been married?"
Zhang Yue's hand shook and he almost spilled the cold wine in his hand to the ground.
Is it true that the way scholar-officials appreciate people is to say goodbye to you?
He looked at Wang Anguo and thought, the route seemed to deviate from his expectation. I wanted to get to know your brother Wang Anshi, but why did it become a blind date?
Zhang Yue had no choice but to reply: "Never."
Wang Anguo was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's it!"
Seeing Wang Anguo's expression, Zhang Yue once again confirmed the possibility that he would propose marriage to him.
Wouldn't it be to propose marriage to a girl from their Wang family?
But Wang Anshi and Wang Anguo don't seem to be handsome. Wang Anshi is even known as "the most beautiful person in prison". How can such a daughter be beautiful? Wu Chong, on the other hand, is handsome. Unexpectedly... Thinking of this, Zhang Yue felt a little sad. of.
But none of the women in the Wang family are simple. First of all, they are very talented. Needless to say, Wang Anshi's eldest daughter married to Wu Anchi.
Wang Anguo's daughter also wrote a poem, "If you don't have the chance for swallows to pass through the curtain, how can you tell when spring has gone?", which can be regarded as a descendant of a celebrity.
As for Wang Anshi's youngest daughter, she is an even more powerful person.
This woman later married Cai Bian.
Cai Bian said, "Whenever there is a state matter, first plan the bed, and then announce it in the temple."
Cai Bian obeyed his wife in everything. Even when he became prime minister to discuss state affairs, he would report to his wife first and then discuss it in the temple. His colleagues sarcastically said, "What we discussed today is all your wife's saliva."
Even when Cai Bian was the prime minister, there was a saying that "everyone is a nepotist."
Therefore, the term nepotism has been passed down.
However, Cai Bian had nothing to do with being Wang Anshi's son-in-law. He was not only a licker to his wife, but also fawned over Lao Taishan to the extreme. He even shared the honor and disgrace of Wang Anshi's political career.
Even Zhang Dun, who was a member of the new party, was envious after seeing it.
It is said in the notes of the Song Dynasty that Zhang Dun had been looking for a son-in-law for his daughter for a long time, but could not find a good son-in-law, so much so that he did not get married even after he was twenty years old. Cai Bian was very surprised and asked: "It is so difficult for the prime minister's daughter to be married." Marry?"
Zhang Dun shook his head seriously and said: "It's not that it's difficult to marry, it's just that it's very difficult to find a son-in-law like you (Cai Lang)."
Wang Anshi didn't have a good relationship with Wu Anchi's son-in-law, but he liked Cai Bian very much. He once said, "Yuandu has been a man for thousands of years, and he has the tools to serve as prime minister and assistant. It's not just because someone is a daughter!"
Having said that, Wang Anshi is still very friendly to "Hu Jianren". If he really didn't like him and kept talking about "Fujianzi" all day long, his two sons-in-law would not choose to marry a Fujianese.
It's just that Wang Anguo and Wang Anshi's daughters were very young at this time, only seven or eight years old. How could this be possible?
Zhang Yue also laughed secretly. He really likes to make up his mind. This is a common problem among singles!
Zhang Yue said: "When Sanlang came to Bianjing, Scholar Ouyang had already said that he would arrange a good marriage for Sanlang."
Wang Anguo couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard this: "Scholar Ouyang's vision is certainly outstanding."
Wang Anguo and Zhang Yue said goodbye to each other from Qingfeng Tower and were about to return to their house. They thought about it halfway but went to the house of Zeng Gong, his brother's close friend and brother-in-law.
Wang Anguo walked hurriedly to the hall and saw Zeng Gong playing chess with someone. The person playing chess was none other than Han Wei from Zhitaichang Liyuan.
Han Wei is the fifth son of Prime Minister Han Yi, and all eight of his brothers are Jinshi.
As for Zeng Gong, there was another person beside Han Wei, it was Lu Gongzhu of Taichang Temple. Lu Gongzhu was the third son of Lu Yijian, and is now Wu Chong's in-laws.
Lu Gongzhu was not interested in the chess game. He just drank wine and admired the plum blossoms in the courtyard.
Wang Anguo looked at this scene and felt deeply that Lu and Han were really famous people.
Wang Anguo was familiar with Han Wei and Lu Gongzhu. At that time, his brother Wang Anshi was in the same class as Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu, and Han Wei were friends with each other. They often met in the monk's room when they had free time, and they often talked about Yan all day long, which was rarely seen by others. Get it in advance (no one else can join this small circle).
Therefore, they are called the Four Friends of Jiayou, and these four people happen to be famous for their ancient prose.
However, in Wang Anguo's mind, Sima Guang and his brother Wang Anshi had the best articles and the best friendship between them.
When Han Wei saw Wang Anguo, he smiled and said, "Pingfu, we and I have just been talking about the two songs of "Ming Concubine" newly composed by your brother. We want to see who can compose poems to compare with them. Do you have any objections in your heart?"
Wang Anguo forced a smile, and Concubine Ming was Wang Zhaojun.
This is a palace resentment poem like Nagato Fu. Throughout the ages, palace resentment poems talk about women being abandoned by men, so they express their resentment. But why do many scholars love to write and listen to it?
Because it also expresses the regret of not being able to appreciate one's talents.
Wang Anshi wrote this song about a concubine after tens of thousands of words fell into the sea. It said that Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty was deeply angry when he saw Wang Zhaojun's beauty, so he killed the painter in anger. There is a hint of blaming Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty in the poem.
In fact, Wang Anshi may not have lamented that Song Renzong could not appreciate him and did not adopt his own ideas.
However, Wang Anshi is indeed a great talent. His poem was hailed as the best poem about Wang Zhaojun, and it became very popular in Bianjing. Even Mei Yaochen, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, and Liu Chang all wrote poems about it.
Lu Gongzhu smiled and said: "Don't embarrass Pingfu. Where did Pingfu come from?"
Zeng Gong was at a disadvantage in the chess game, so he was racking his brains. He raised his head and glanced at Wang Anguo and said, "Why does Pingfu have time to come here today?"
Wang Anguo said: "I just came here from Qingfeng Tower and talked with a fifteen-year-old boy for half a day."
"Oh?" Zeng Gong said with a smile, "What a fifteen-year-old boy."
He knew that his brother-in-law often had some novel and weird ideas. How could a fifteen-year-old boy be so knowledgeable?
"This son's surname is Zhang Mingyue, the younger brother of Zhang Zihou, and a relative of Zhang Ziping..."
"No wonder...he is also a descendant of a famous family..." Han Wei said with a smile.
Lu Gong wrote: "With such an elder brother, it is not surprising that the younger brother would say something big. What do you think, Zigu?"
Zeng Gong pretended to be meditating on the chess game and did not hear...
Wang Anguo immediately talked about what Zhang Yue had said before.
Speaking of the beginning...
"How dare you pass the Qin Dynasty..." Han Wei said with a smile.
Halfway through.
Lu Gongzhu immediately asked: "Is it really what this man said? This interest, the rhetoric of vested interests..."
Then Lu Gongzhu was silent again.
Han Wei said: "This man's words are really thorough. Qin lost the world, and the people of Qin were weak and the people of the six countries were weak. Therefore, the southerners of this dynasty cannot be prime ministers. I only know it today."
Lu Gong wrote: "Benevolence and righteousness lie in safeguarding vested interests. This statement is really shocking, but it does make sense. But if it were an ordinary ignorant corrupt scholar, I am afraid I would have to refute it."
"Zi Gu, why don't you speak?"
Zeng Gong smiled and said: "Don't be distracted when holding the country, I will win you!"
Han Wei responded with concentration.
How could Zeng Gong express his distress in words?
My cousin Zeng Fu served as the director of a county on Jingxi Road, and he happened to be under the leadership of Wu Chong, the transfer director of Jingxi Road.
However, he was prosecuted by the criminal magistrate for "being a simple man and being a thief". The minimum penalty was a fine or even demotion. For a first-time official, if he had such a reputation, he would lose it for the rest of his life. In the end, thanks to the good fortune, Wu Chong came forward to intercede on behalf of Zeng Fu and was exempted from punishment.
Is Wu Chong benevolent? Not necessarily.
Zeng Gong didn't know the details of the situation thousands of miles away, and it was difficult for him to guess the inside story. After all, he had to thank Wu Chong for his favor in this matter.
I, my three younger brothers, and my two brothers-in-law have just been awarded Jinshi. The road to officialdom is still long, and we are really walking on thin ice, and we cannot make any mistakes.
Unexpectedly, Wang Anguo said at this moment: "Zi Gu, this San Lang is not married yet, don't you still have three sisters? I came here specifically to tell you."
At this moment, Zeng Gong had the intention to kill Wang Anguo. He really couldn't help but lift any pot!
