38, competitor

() Although Wang Wei had no interest in Zheng Shuying, when Zheng Shuying was silent just now, he suddenly thought that Zheng Shuying's brother was named Zheng Qian, and he was an extraordinary person.

Zheng Qian was born in the Zheng family in Xingyang, which is known in history as "revealed repeatedly for many generations, and never ceased until the end of the Tang Dynasty", "with hairpin tassels, family status, poetry and etiquette passed down to the family". When he was young, he was smart and eager to learn, with outstanding aptitudes, but was weak in the crown.

At that time, he was not selected as a Jinshi, and was trapped in Ci'en Temple in Chang'an. He had no money to buy paper to study. When he saw that there were several rooms with persimmon leaves in the temple, he borrowed the monk's room one by one and took the red leaves to read books. After a long time, he actually practiced the persimmon leaves in several rooms.

Afterwards, he eventually became a famous scholar and became a legend among scholars. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the first official Zhilangxing led the temple to be the master of Bo.

Prime Minister Su Ting, "This is a pact to forget the year."

Zheng Qian was a famous writer, poet, calligrapher and painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He was also a Confucian of the generation who was proficient in astronomy, geography, natural history, military art, and medicine.

, "Literature spread all over the world". Zheng Qian is rich in learning, proficient in classics and history, and has made outstanding achievements in calligraphy and painting. His biographies are widely seen in dictionaries such as "Cihai" and "Ciyuan", as well as writers, poets, calligraphers, painters, calligraphers, etc. of all dynasties.

Among the professional dictionaries, he is a famous person in Chinese history and culture.

Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also praised Zheng Qian as the "Three Wonders of Zheng Qian". His poems, calligraphy and paintings were all exquisite. If it were not for the queen Wang Wei who came from behind, Zheng Qian would not be reduced to Wang Wei's foil, because in "Feng Feng"

It is recorded in the fifth volume of "Shi Jianwen Lu": "During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Wang Weite's wonderful landscapes were so profound that they were unprecedented in modern times. Wei Zong was the Minister of the Book of Youcheng. Zheng Qian also worked on landscapes, and his name was Ya Yuwei. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Guanshanfang

The Landscape Courtyard of Wang Fangqing's residence has traces of devotion to landscapes, which was highly valued at that time. He devoted himself to calligraphy, painting, and poetry, so he has the "Three Uniques". However, his official career was long and winding, and he finally ended up at Sihu Yan in Taizhou."

"Zheng Qian is also a landscape artist, and his reputation is inferior to that of Yu Wei." This undoubtedly reflects this point. However, Wang Wei at this time certainly did not know that Zheng Qian was so famous in history. He only knew that Zheng Qian was also famous based on his original memory.

He was a famous person and was admired by the prime minister, which was enough for Wang Wei to feel that he was worth making friends with.

In fact, according to Wang Wei's dark psychology, he felt that Zheng Qian was also a show-off, and was forced to put on a show. As a direct descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Zheng Qian would never be so poor that he had no money to buy

In terms of paper, even though paper in this era is indeed not cheap.

Of course, what needs to be understood is that it does not mean that the direct descendants of a famous family are very wealthy, because there are often several direct descendants, some in a dominant position and some in a dominated position. Strictly speaking, Wang Wei’s direct descendants

His status is relatively high and he is in a dominant position, but now that he is separated from the Wang family in Taiyuan, he can be regarded as getting rid of the shackles.

Because Zheng Qian was not selected as a Jinshi, and the budget allocated to him at home was exhausted, he had an idea, "So Ci'en Temple stored several rooms of persimmon leaves, and then went to Japan to get the leaves and books. Over time, they were all over the place." Then he became famous.

.

Why go to Ci'en Temple to write on leaves? Because Ci'en Temple itself is an eye-catching place. Maybe Ci'en Temple just sounds familiar to you. If you add the three words "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" after Ci'en Temple, it will definitely sound familiar to you.

Yes, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Ci'en Temple, and there are many dignitaries who go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to burn incense and worship Buddha. Ci'en Temple is one of the most famous temples in Chang'an.

So after this back and forth, Zheng Qian's reputation grew like this. Once he became famous, and through the Zheng family's original connections, Prime Minister Su Ting directly recommended him to become an official.

Importantly, it will not be like in the Song and Ming dynasties. When you sit down and talk together after becoming an official, you will first have to tell which Jinshi you are and what rank you are. If you are not a Jinshi, you will be embarrassed to meet others and always feel short.

One end.

However, all of this is Wang Wei's secret psychological attack, and he is just guessing at random. It does not rule out that Zheng Qian didn't want to gain reputation in the first place, but accidentally became famous for practicing calligraphy with leaves, but why did he become famous?

How about choosing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Ci'en Temple? It's not just Ci'en Temple that has red leaves.

Of course, no matter what, Zheng Qian's talent cannot be faked. The prerequisite for gaining fame is to be talented. Just like how the stars of later generations can really stand up, they can only rely on their own strength.

, Hype is always just a means, not everything.

Thinking of the relationship between Zheng Qian and Su Ting, Wang Wei's heart suddenly became eager. He felt that Zheng Shuying in front of him was no longer an eyesore. Now, because of the family crisis, Wang Wei's utilitarianism can be said to have reached an unprecedented intensity. As long as he

He didn't mind making friends with anyone he thought would be helpful to his career. As for "Princess Yuzhen", he excluded her. He didn't want to make the same mistake in his dream again.

Wang Wei wanted to start as a potential official, rather than an official position similar to an actor like "Tai Le Cheng", so he would never be complacent about what wonderful poems he could write, because poetry

Its main function is the tool he uses to climb up, and its other functions are secondary.

Wang Wei didn't want to become a civil servant with no development potential in the future and become a half-official and half-hidden person, which would worsen his family's situation, so he accidentally wrote a poem like this: "ri

I saw Taihang in the evening, thinking deeply about not being able to go. I asked you why this happened? The world is like a baby and I am old. My younger sister has grown up today, and my brothers have not married yet. The family is poor and has little income, and they do not have enough savings. I have been flying hard for several times, but I have hesitated to look after each other again.

When Sun climbed to the Changxiao Tower, there were remnants of pines and bamboos. A few miles apart, my old friend was in the middle of the road. The color of love has faded, and the silence of Zen has become solid. Suddenly I am about to leave, I would rather wait until the clouds are setting."

"My younger sister (Wang Fei) has grown up, and my brother (Wang Jin) has not married. The family is poor and the salary is small, so the savings are not sufficient." Although the last two sentences in the middle are "The family is poor and the salary is small, the savings are not sufficient." There are some.

It's an exaggeration, and it can only be regarded as a complaint. It does not mean that the Hedong Wang family is really so poor that it cannot survive, but the decline from a first-rate family to a second-rate family is also a very unpleasant thing.

As a time-traveler, if Wang Wei really gets to that point, it would be better for him to stop doing this great undertaking of time-traveling.

Moreover, the strongest direct line of the Wang family in Taiyuan can be regarded as having a successor. This competitor of the same generation as Wang Wei is also a famous figure in history. His name is Wang Han, who wrote that

Wang Han, who wrote the most popular "Liangzhou Ci" - "The luminous cup of grape wine, I drink the pipa immediately. Don't laugh when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from the ancient battles."

Wang Han was nearly ten years older than Wang Wei. He was a Jinshi at the age of twenty. He was talented and well-connected. Compared with Wang Wei, his greatest advantage was undoubtedly the help of Wang Renjiao, but he

At this time, he was still living in his hometown of Taiyuan and was not in a hurry to become an official. He was waiting for the opportunity. After all, he was highly appreciated by Zhang Jiazhen, the Jiedushi Commander, and Zhang Jiazhen, who was highly regarded by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was already planning to join the cabinet.

Come on, you can imagine that once Song Jing and Su Ting retreat, Wang Han's spring will come.

Of course, the relationship between Wang Han and Wang Wei is not bad. When he was a child, Wang Wei played very harmoniously with this bold and unruly clan brother. But the relationship between Wang Han's group and Wang Wei's group is different.

People dare not compliment them - in the end, Wang Wei's branch split into the Taiyuan Wang family. Although Wang Renjiao was the direct enemy of Wang Wei's branch, there was of course a looming shadow behind him.

News about the infighting within the Wang family in Taiyuan will basically not spread. It would be a big scandal. However, sometimes the entire family's resources have to be concentrated on one branch, so that it is more conducive to the development of the family.

Whichever branch has greater strength will become the main branch. What Wang Wei will have to do in the future is to let the branch of the Wang family in Hedong overshadow the name of the main branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. If he does not do this, he will not be able to understand his ideas.

After knowing through memory that Wang Han was the "orthodox" direct son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Wei felt a little regretful - Brother Ziyu, as long as I am here, it will be enough for you to be a minor official and a famous frontier poet who will go down in history.

No matter how good his personal relationship with Wang Han is, he will still suppress this clan brother when he has the ability.

Wang Wei, who had already corrected his attitude in front of Zheng Shuying, naturally and quietly changed his "cold and distant" temperament. After inadvertently using words to test out that the relationship between Zheng Shuying and Zheng Qian was not bad, Wang Wei

Wei Bian became more and more patient.

Seeing the "introverted" Wang Wei gradually become "cheerful", this had to make Zheng Shuying excited. Zheng Shuying, who had always been quite narcissistic, thought smugly that her charm had finally "conquered" this handsome and elegant woman.

Talented man.

After all, she could actually make a relatively cold-looking young man from a famous family become cheerful and talkative. Occasionally, he would make humorous remarks that made her feel happy. The breadth of knowledge displayed by Wang Wei's extensive quotations made Zheng Shuying

I am very impressed and feel that Wang Wei is so talented at such a young age, but he has also worked hard.

Wang Wei was beaming when he saw Zheng Shuying, and several layers of the thick gouache fell off. He suppressed his nausea and felt that the relationship was almost close. After all, they both called each other by their first names.

So he didn't want to go on talking nonsense, and finally realized what he was doing. He said in his usual gentle and calm voice: "Shuying, I like landscape painting. I was studying at Wu Chongfeng's place recently, but I always felt that I had reached a bottleneck.

I think it is due to lack of communication, and your brother Master Zheng is well known to the world for being good at painting landscapes. I have longed for him for a long time. I wonder if Shuying can introduce him to me?"

Under Wang Wei's rambling, Zheng Shuying didn't realize at all that Wang Wei was trying to please her because of her brother Zheng Qian, so she pondered for a moment and was about to agree, and then her eyes suddenly widened because

She discovered that a large wave of zombies was approaching!

No, a large wave of "red peonies" wearing green gauze and red skirts are approaching!
