Chapter 173: Conversation and Mind

 Zhang Yue and Wu Anzhi went to another hall and sat down.

The utensils here are ordinary, far less luxurious than the hall where we were sitting just now. The azure tea cup served by the maid before was an imperial utensil from Ru Kiln, but here it is just an ordinary porcelain bowl, and the aura of wealth is instantly washed away.

As for the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, the themes of maids, banquets, and host and guest are all replaced by landscapes, rivers, and mulberry trees, and they are all not the work of famous artists.

Several of the inscriptions are from the owner's handwriting.

Zhang Yue saw a line from one of the poems.

Lantai opened the historical bureau, and Yuzhu bestowed it on you.

The guests and friends asked for three things, and I copied the eight books.

The history of history is like this, and Bai Yong has returned to his old age.

The imperial edict promised to meet calmly, why not get in the car drunk.

Zhang Yue guessed that this was written by Wu Chong when he entered the history museum.

There is also a poem.

The scenery in Quanwu is beautiful, and my son went to Xiange.

There are few frightened dogs at night, and many perch payers in autumn.

The county building suspected a mirage, and the government drum answered the question.

I think of the green waves under the long bridge under the morning ducks.

Zhang Yue Xindao's poem is a superb work.

Zhang Yue turned his head and looked at the bookshelf on the side. There were also rune stone inkstone screens with crow-tree patterns on several desks.

Next to the inkstone screen is an inscription that reads "Song of Wu Xueshi's Shiping".

The song goes, 'When the morning light enters the forest, the birds are frightened, and the crows are flying in confusion. They scatter through the forest and fly into the air, and the yellow-mouthed nests are hungry for food...'

Zhang Yue glanced at the signature and it was Ouyang Xiu, a Hanlin scholar.

Wu Anchi introduced: "In the first year of Jiayou's reign, Ouyang, a scholar, gave this inkstone screen to his father when he was writing Tang calligraphy."

Zhang Yue could see that this inkstone screen was something that Wu Chong was very proud of, so he smiled and said, "What a great inkstone screen, and good poems."

Zhang Yue turned around and saw several inkstones with pure and delicate colors.

Scholars in the Song Dynasty loved to collect famous inkstones. There is a saying that "a beauty's mirror is a scholar's inkstone".

Wu Anzhi said to Zhang Yue: "This inkstone was obtained by my father when he knew the place. You can get water by breathing it."

Zhang Yue said: "How can it be so magical?"

Wu Anzhi nodded and said: "Of course, dad gave Taishan a piece of water as a gift. When he said this, Old Taishan smiled and said, "How much can you get if you get a load of water? He refused to accept it."

Zhang Yue couldn't help but laugh. Such famous inkstones that can produce water through breathing are simply treasures. However, Wang Anshi asked how much it would be worth if you breathed water into it.

This Wang Anshi is so cute and stubborn.

Halfway through their conversation, they heard footsteps.

Zhang Yue and Wu Anchi quickly sat down at attention.

Immediately, a middle-aged man in his late teens came in through the curtain. He was of medium build, with three long beards on his face, and he had an excellent bearing. He was a handsome middle-aged man.

This person is Wu Chong, who had a relationship with Zhang Yue. She is now the transfer envoy of Jingxi Road and the top administrator of the road.

Wu Anchi stepped forward to introduce Zhang Yue, and Zhang Yue saluted and said, "I have met Uncle Wu."

Wu Chong nodded and said: "Back then, I had many interactions with Duke Xun (Zhang Dexiang) in the court. When I saw you, I couldn't help but think of my old friend again, so I sat down to talk."

The three of them took their seats again.

Wu Chong said: "My Erlang has mentioned you in front of me many times. He has always set his sights on others and rarely brings his peers home. Hearing what he said made me a little curious. The friend Erlang can like must be

It’s remarkable.”

Zhang Yue said: "Although Erlangjun and I live together, our time together is short. If we live together for a long time, I'm afraid we won't be as good as before."

Wu Anchi smiled and said, "Sanlang is joking."

Wu Chong nodded, took a sip of tea and asked, "Du Zhi, who else is there in the family?"

Zhang Yue said: "My brother, sister-in-law, nephew, are still in my hometown of Pucheng. There is also a second brother who changed his registration and joined the family of an uncle from the same clan."

"Oh, I haven't been back to my hometown in Pucheng for many years after I won the Jinshi. What does your brother do in his hometown? Is your nephew studying?"

Zhang Yue said: "My elder brother runs a restaurant in my hometown and earns thirty or fifty guan per month. As for my nephew, he has already become enlightened and now he is under the tutelage of his mentor, Mr. Boyi."

At this point, Zhang Yue added: "My nephew is very talented and will definitely surpass me in his studies in the future."

Wu Chong nodded and said: "Since you are the youngest, then the eldest sister-in-law is the clan's wife. How does she treat you on weekdays?"

Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to call myself a clan wife from a small family, but my eldest sister-in-law has been running the Zhang family since she married me, and everything is well organized inside and outside. Moreover, my eldest sister-in-law is very good to my nephew. Before I went to school, I relied on her to carry the bottom of the box."

The money provided support. Later, she took care of it all the way, and today we have a nephew, so to speak, the eldest sister-in-law is the mother."

Wu Chong said: "I heard that your nephew is outstanding, so I know that your sister-in-law has taught her son well. Such a virtuous woman is very rare. Since your eldest sister-in-law is your mother, you should also treat her as a mother in the future."

Zhang Yue said gratefully: "What Uncle Wu said is true. My nephew will keep it in mind."

Wu Chong asked again: "You said that your second brother changed his membership to another sect. What's the matter?"

Zhang Yue said: "Please forgive me, Uncle Wu. My nephew is reluctant to talk about the reason for this with others. However, all the classmates in the studio know the reason for this."

Wu Chong nodded and said: "Everyone has something to hide, but I'm going to take the liberty. You have been in Bianjing for more than a year, but have you visited anywhere?"

Zhang Yue said: "I've been to Daxiangguo Temple and Jinming Pond, but I haven't had much fun elsewhere. I'm busy with classes in Taixue, and my nephew is always in the studio."

Wu Anchi said from the side: "Dad, I can testify to this. Sanlang never felt the wind when he was studying in Taixue. I don't see him staying out at night."

Zhang Yue looked ashamed.

Wu Chong said: "This reminds me of Dong Jiangdu who has not seen the garden for three years."

"Throughout the ages, everyone has understood what is the priority when it comes to big things. The most important thing when studying is to calm down and don't be distracted by other things. Don't look at them as trivial things. Pay attention here and pay attention there. Today

Divide some, and divide some tomorrow, add up a little, add up, and accumulate over time, and your studies will become more and more neglected."

"After many scholars entered the capital and saw the prosperity of this place, they were too distracted. They wanted everything and wanted to catch everything. In the end, they ignored the beginning and the end, and lost the most important thing of studying. How to deal with this

You need to take these words as a warning!”

After listening to Wu Chong's words, Zhang Yue knew that every sentence was based on his own point of view, so he was very grateful and said: "My uncle taught me a lesson. My nephew suddenly broke out in a sweat after hearing this."

After listening to my uncle's words, I understood that studying is the most important thing, so I didn't dare to have other ambitions before I was admitted to the Jinshi."

Wu Anchi glanced at his father's face and hesitated to speak.

Wu Chong stroked his beard and said: "You are a man with great ambition. No wonder Erlang always praises you in front of me, how good you are! I can't tell you when and what month you will become a Jinshi, but with this perseverance and ambition, you will get fame sooner or later!"

Zhang Yue said: "My nephew doesn't dare to take it. My nephew has a humble status and comes from a poor family, so he often has to take it one step at a time."

After Zhang Yue said these words, he felt much more at ease, and it was considered that he had analyzed his thoughts.

Wu Chong nodded and said: "I still have something important to do. Erlang, please entertain me well and learn from others."

Wu Anchi said yes.

Zhang Yue didn't know what Wu Chong would think of him after hearing what he said.
