Chapter 107: Men and Women (Thanks to Kusunoki for the Curry Fan Book Friends Award)
Zhang Yue’s words made Wu Anshi and Huang Haoyi look at each other with admiration.
In particular, the two sentences "The most uncontrollable thing about the world's troubles is that it is called peace and quiet, but in fact there are unexpected worries", or "If you want extraordinary achievements, you will have nothing to do"
.
The former refers to the current political situation and blindly pursuing peace in the world will inevitably lead to serious worries.
The latter is to overcome this situation and requires people who are willing to do great things without sacrificing their own lives to stand up and achieve immortal achievements.
History has also proven that there was indeed such a strange man who stood up ten years later.
But Wu Anshi thought at this moment, no wonder Chen Shengzhi valued this son so highly and wanted to accept him as a book boy. It turned out that my vision was really shallow. Fortunately, I listened to his words today, so that I didn't miss this talent. This insight
Even if it is placed with uncles and fathers, it will be praised by everyone.
At the moment, Wu Anshi was even more enthusiastic about Zhang Yue, and even made an exception by calling Zhang Yue his confidant.
This made Huang Haoyi, who originally thought he was superior to Zhang Yue, a little confused.
But what Zhang Yue said just now was really good. He was not the scholar of the Zhu family who was at Wu Anshi's house that day. Zhang Yue had to say something like "Xiu already knows you, but you are not ashamed."
Just the face.
Good is good, bad is bad.
It's just that he didn't expect Zhang Yue to say such a thing as a Jie Jie student. This was something he didn't expect.
Wu An's poem said: "With Sanlang's talent, I am afraid that it is not difficult to pass the Nine Classics. If you have this insight, you can even take the major exams."
Zhang Yue now knew something about the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty.
The major subject is the system subject.
It is more difficult to get into the imperial examination than to get into the imperial examination.
Getting third grade in the system subjects is even more difficult to get the first prize.
Since the beginning of the system examination, only one person has entered the third class, and that is Wu Anshi's uncle Wu Yu.
There are three difficulties in obtaining a bachelor's degree. The first difficulty is that two ministers must jointly sponsor the application. This is the first step, and it will block countless people.
Huang Haoyi said from the sidelines: "A major subject needs to be recommended by two court officials. Sanlang and a poor scholar, how can two ministers recommend it? It would be great if there is this way."
This is also a characteristic of Zhike.
The Jinshi subjects are called regular subjects, and the purpose is to select talents from among the people. Even those with poor Confucian backgrounds can take the imperial examinations. But the system subjects are when the emperor issues an edict to recruit talents in a certain field, and then the left and right ministers recommend them.
The departments of Zhi Lie Qiu Shuang, Zu An Bian, Cai Ying Guan Yue, Zhi Yan Ji Jian, Literary Yali, and Erudite Hongci. As the name suggests, they require talents in this field.
Su Che was a virtuous and upright man who did not grasp the right measure when he was able to bluntly remonstrate with Keli. He turned his remonstrance into a rant, almost scolding Song Renzong for being autistic, which aroused the displeasure of the chief examiner and caused a controversy.
Renzong of the Song Dynasty said that I set up the "Zhi Yan Jie Ji Ke" to listen to the advice and did not embarrass Su Zhe.
That's all, but it is Wang Anshi who is even more special. Although Wang Anshi was not an examiner, he was awarded the Shangzhou promotion official after Su Zhe established the subject. Wang Anshi, who drafted the imperial edict for the emperor, "returned the title" and refused to draft Su Zhe's appointment edict.
.
The two of them formed a rift.
Of course Huang Haoyi knew what Wu Anshi meant. After admiration and jealousy battled in his heart for a while, he still recognized Zhang Yue's talent in front of Wu Anshi.
Wu An's poem originally wanted Zhang Yue to ask such a question, but when he saw that the other party did not say so, Huang Haoyi asked it instead, and he couldn't help but smile.
Zhang Yue knew that Wu Anshi was trying to win over him, but when he read the forum before, he knew that Wu Anshi's father, Wu Chong, was later a high-ranking prime minister, but he was a member of the old party despite his political views.
Zhang Yue, who has been immersed in the forum for a long time, still prefers the New Party in his political views. And historically speaking, if the Song Dynasty continues to operate in this way, it will be over sooner or later.
Of course, if you have different political views and you are promoted, you will become a two-faced person. Wu Anshi's younger brother Wu Anchi is Wang Anshi's son-in-law, and he is more willing to get to know this person.
Zhang Yue laughed and said, "Brother Huang is right. Not only is it as difficult as ascending to heaven to study subjects, but I am from the Han clan and have no such idea. As a student of the Imperial College, it is enough to pass the Nine Classics in the future. I don't dare to think too much about other things."
"
Zhang Yue said this in an understatement and dismissed the olive branch offered by Wu Anshi.
Wu Anshi hid the change in her face by drinking tea. He had previously asked Li Xuezheng to recommend Zhang Yue. He originally planned to recommend Zhang Yue and let him accept his affection later. But he did not expect that Li Xuezheng informed Zhang Yue.
It was because of his own ability that he got the opportunity to be recommended to Imperial College.
This is his most important move, but he can't come up with it.
Wu Anshi knew that Chen Sheng could not recruit Zhang Yue in the capital, so it was not surprising that he failed. Now even he did not understand why this son was so confident despite being from the Han clan. What did he want?
During the tea break.
Mr. Fan and Qi Niang have both changed their clothes.
Fan said: "Seventeenth sister, what do you think this son wants? Is he pretending to be noble or is he selling for a price?"
Seventeen Niang replied absentmindedly: "If my sister-in-law can't see through it, how can I see through it?"
Fan said: "You are hiding your clumsiness from me again."
“But if a Han family member doesn’t need anyone’s support, no matter how far he can go, he may not be able to pass the exam if he goes to Beijing to take the Imperial Examination. If he fails, he will realize in the end that it is just a dream.”
Seventeen Niang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I seem to be hoping that I will fail the exam."
Fan asked: "Oh? That's not the case, Seventeen. It seems like why were you a little absent-minded just now? I didn't see you like this in the past."
The seventeenth mother laughed and said: "Sister-in-law, look where you are. I have been climbing the mountain for a day, and I am inevitably a little tired. I just need to rest for a night."
Fan laughed when he heard this and said, "I think so."
After speaking, Mrs. Fan ordered the people beside her: "Pack up your gear and tell Mr. Da Lang to set off immediately."
Wu Anshi and the other three drank tea and left for the tea break.
The servant brought a horse to Wu Anshi. Wu Anshi waved her hand and said, "Why don't you ride a horse? I'm just going for a walk with my two friends."
The three of them went down the ridge side by side, chatting and laughing.
Although Wu Anshi has a bit of a dandy attitude, he is not stingy at all and does not mind that Zhang Yue did not accept his olive branch just now. This magnanimity makes Zhang Yue admire him very much.
Walking to the foot of the ridge, there is a small town designed for people crossing the ridge to rest.
Zhang Yuexin said that he finally left Fujian.
The scenery here is different again. When the two entered the town, they saw the most prosperous place here, with several prostitutes here.
Many prostitutes wearing bright clothes are soliciting business.
Huang Haoyi couldn't help but turn his face when he saw it. Wu Anshi asked with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Huang Haoyi said: "I've heard people say that these women are all vixens, who specialize in seducing with their beauty and then sucking out the essence of men."
Zhang Yue was secretly amused. Wu Anshi laughed loudly and said, "Where did Silang think of you? You haven't even thought about women now, right?"
Huang Haoyi said: "I have thought about it, but they all say that you should marry a virtuous wife, not a woman, and the word "woman" is the most harmful to people. I don't dare to provoke it, so as not to get into trouble."
The more Zhang understood, the more Zhang understood that these words actually did not amount to much to warn him.
Two of the most popular routines in Song Dynasty storybooks and Ming and Qing novels are: one is the story of a man who ends up miserable because of his greed for temporary beauty. There is also the story of a woman who makes a private life-long commitment with a man and then elopes.
Because the matter of marriage, the words of a matchmaker, or the orders of parents, these two stories exist, and there must be market demand behind them.
However, there are many things that men do when they know that there are tigers in the mountains and go to the tiger mountains. On the contrary, The West Chamber is very good-looking, but Jia Mu in Dream of Red Mansions said that such a thing does not happen to women from their wealthy families, not even those from middle-class families.
Heard it.
Those who write such stories are either jealous of other people's wealth or obsessed with beautiful women.
Whether there is or not, Zhang Yue thinks about it. Stories like those between Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun can hardly be called happiness.
But since he came to the Song Dynasty, he had to follow the local customs, but he thought about it. It would be too boring to pursue a woman based solely on other people's words.
Wu Anshi smiled and said: "What harm can there be in the word sex? Look at the slender feet of those women. They are like crescent moons. One grasp is enough. If you put them in the palm of your hand and play with them, they will be so amazing."
After Wu Anshi said this, Huang Haoyi's face turned red, but he couldn't help but look yearning on his face.
Zhang Yue finally couldn't help but laugh. Didn't Ji Lao say it all, the twenty-year-old young man had nothing else on his mind, just...
It is said that the trend of foot binding really started in the Song Dynasty, and it was already popular by the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Some people say that plastic surgery and breast augmentation are also very popular nowadays? What is the difference between this and foot binding?
But in comparison, footbinding was more harmful. Women had almost no strength to walk, and even had to be carried while walking. However, in the eyes of scholar-officials, this became a first-class morbid beauty.
“By the way, does Sanlang like women with bound feet?” Wu Anshi asked Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue said quickly: "Don't like it?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, Wu Anshi, why are you asking this? If you can't recruit me, are you using a beauty trick on me?
This is possible! Can you use a strategy to get it right?
After hearing what Zhang Yue said, Wu Anshi said with regret: "What a pity, Sanlang! I told you that a woman like this can be like this..."
Wu Anshi and Zhang Yue popularized the science of how to bind feet.
But seeing Zhang Yue's uninterested look, Wu Anshi suddenly smiled and said, "That's right. Could it be that Sanlang likes someone who has been married?"
Huang Haoyi was stunned when he heard this, pointed at Zhang Yue and said with a smile: "Sanlang, isn't it?"
Zhang Yue looked angry and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Dalang. Although I don't have a good reputation, a little bit is still important."
Wu Anshi smiled playfully and said, "Don't be upset, Sanlang. I heard this from He Qi."
Zhang Yue cursed in his heart. He was afraid that Cao Mengde’s good deeds had spread throughout the county and state. He was really a villain.
Wu Anshi snickered and said: "Sanlang, if you are so good, then I might as well teach you some tricks in the room."
“Fangzhongshu?”
Zhang Yue and Huang Haoyi asked the same question.
Wu Anshi pretended to be mysterious and said: "It's just about practicing the essence and transforming qi!"
“What is practicing qi?” Zhang Yue asked.
Huang Haoyi was embarrassed to speak and looked like he was asking the same question.
Why!
Wu Anshi sighed and talked with the two of them.
Zhang Yue looked bored. What about refining energy? Isn’t this the national football team?
No ejaculation for ninety minutes!
Then transform the essence into the body.
Isn’t this pseudoscience?
However, Huang Haoyi seemed to believe it was true.
