"Everything that smells good is not good. It must wait until the wind comes."
The medicine garden is filled with the fragrance of orchids, which is refreshing.
It sounded full of force, but also felt that there was a deep meaning in the words.
After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, Zhang Yue said from the sidelines: "The Duke's words are thought-provoking, and I have learned from them."
Wen Yanbo pinched his beard and smiled and said: "I just felt something. However, I think it is very valuable to be able to live in this world without being harmed by external things and not doing things that are too forced."
"All worries are caused by breaking flowers and smelling them; complaining about the lack of fragrance when there is no wind."
Zhang Yue said: "The Duke's words are of paramount importance when it comes to conduct in society, whether as a scholar or an official."
"Oh? How can I use it as an official?"
Zhang Yue said: "When we are officials, we usually live like orchids. Zhilan grows in deep valleys and does not lose its fragrance because there is no one around. A gentleman cultivates virtue and does not change his moral character because of poverty."
"Just as the wind will take care of itself when the country is useful, I believe this is what the Lord wants to tell me."
Wen Yanbo nodded when he heard this.
Zhang Yue's words tactfully flattered Wen Yanbo like an orchid. When the fragrance of orchids arrives, Wen Yanbo didn't wait until the officials really remembered him.
Wen Yanbo understood the implication and smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Yue presented family letters from his father-in-law, mother-in-law and Wen Jifu.
Wen Yanbo took a look at it and said with a smile: "When I was not qualified as a bachelor, Sixth Brother mentioned you many times in front of me. Later I learned that my in-laws had recruited you as my son-in-law, and he actually became your brother-in-law."
Zhang Yue said: "It wasn't Liu Lang who was the one who pulled the strings at the beginning. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get this good match. And when Taishan was in Bianjing, he mentioned many times that he was supported by the Duke of the country and was grateful for your great kindness."
Wen Yanbo chuckled and said: "Zunyue and I are close friends. Our family will not speak the same language. Yes, I heard that my daughter-in-law and your wife have been at odds since childhood. Is this true?"
Zhang Yue laughed awkwardly and said, "My wife has never told me about this matter. But Meng Liulang never gives up, and I have benefited a lot from him."
Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "That's good. After Liu Lang mentioned it, I was very impressed. After reading your No. 1 Scholar paper, I was deeply impressed."
"Then I sighed even more after reading your third-class examination paper. I remember that the focus of your entire paper was on the word "Qiangan".
Zhang Yue said: "It is what the Duke of the country said."
Wen Yanbo said: "I have often thought about your strong methods, but now after seeing the reference office you set up, I finally understand."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, the boss really has a keen eye and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, Zhang Yue said: "Although he is a strong official, the method of handing him over to prison is to test the word Quanfu mentioned in Zhou Li, which is also the meaning of Zhou Gong and other sages. In the final analysis, it is still true that everything can change, but
The key to success lies in learning from the past and not imitating the past.”
Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "Hey, you said that everything can change without departing from its origin, but what happened in Quan Mansion is still missing from the record. I have heard that many of the methods you have cited are unprecedented, which can be said to be remarkable.
A leaf can tell the autumn, the bachelor is a man of great talent."
Zhang Yue said quickly: "I am so ashamed of myself."
Speaking of this, Wen Yanbo said: "You are going to Shaanzhou to discuss the exchange of documents with Ambassador Xue Yun. Are you sure?"
Zhang Yue said: "I will definitely have a fight with Xue Yunshi, but the fight will not be broken. I will definitely have a way to leave the capital."
Wen Yanbo said: "So, you have everything in mind?"
Zhang Yue said: "If the Duke of Haojiao knows this, I dare not say 100% of it, but there is still 80% chance."
Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and asked: "So you don't need my help?"
Zhang Yue said: "If the Duke can help me pass a message, I will be sure of it."
In fact, although Zhang Yue is confident, he is not that confident. But since ancient times, he has always said this when asking for help, because everyone is willing to do it.
For example, if you borrow money from someone and say I am short of 100,000 to buy a house, you lend me 10,000. Or if you are short of 10,000 to buy a house, you lend me 10,000.
Which is easier?
Wen Yanbo smiled and said: "That's good! I will write a letter to Xue Yunsi."
Zhang Yue said happily: "Thank you, Duke, for your support!"
Zhang Yue then presented a birthday gift list.
This was brought by his mother-in-law, Wen Jifu Tuozhang Yue. Wen Yanbo browsed to the end and saw a line attached to the gift note asking: "What is the reason for submitting this interest note to the Exchange for two thousand shares?"
These two thousand shares were originally agreed by Shen Yan, Shen Chen and Uncle Chen to give him 3,000 hidden shares from the 20,000 shares.
Zhang Yue took out two thousand shares and gave them to Wen Yanbo in the gift list.
Zhang Yue said: "This is my birthday gift. The stock subscription of the Stock Exchange does not recognize anyone, as long as you hold it..."
Wen Yanbo thought to himself that this share sold for 50 guan in Bianjing, but it was hard to find a share. Many people were willing to pay 70 guan for this share.
Here is one hundred thousand strings!
Wen Yanbo said calmly: "The meeting gift from my nephew is really not small. Is this a sect that never changes from its origin?"
Zhang Yue thought, it can be said that reform is one thing, but at the same time it is impossible to get rid of the interests of vested interests all at once.
Zhang Yue said: "This is my nephew's sentiment, and it shows my respect for the Duke."
Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "If it's what you want, I'll accept it."
Zhang Yue was also worried that Wen Yanbo would not accept it, so he prepared a lot of excuses, but in the end Wen Yanbo still accepted it.
Why did Zhang Yue have to send Wen Yanbo as a gift?
Yes, he is not as powerful as Han Qi and is richer than Han Qi. He seems to be a thing of yesterday, but he is an evergreen tree in the political arena and will live a long time!
The officialdom is not afraid that you will gain power for a while, but it is afraid that you will always be there like a roly-poly.
Aren't you the main opponent of Wang Anshi's reforms in history?
Wen Yanbo stood up and walked away from the pavilion, Zhang Yue followed closely behind him.
Wen Yanbo turned his head and glanced at the orchids in the courtyard, and then said to Zhang Yue: "My dear nephew, is it possible that the achievements in the court are still like this?"
Zhang Yue said: "It is not difficult to achieve success, but the difficulty lies in perseverance. The difficulty lies in continuous exertion and long-term success."
Wen Yanbo's expression changed when he heard this. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Well said, I haven't heard such insightful words for a long time!"
"My dear nephew, I will rely on you in the future."
Zhang Yue said: "Thanks to the Duke's respect, my nephew is always waiting for advice!"
After saying this, Zhang Yue stepped forward and took Wen Yanbo's hand.
Even though Wen Yanbo is fifty-eight years old, he is very healthy and Zhang Yue also expresses his attitude.
When Wen Yanbo and Zhang Yue walked to the concierge, Wen Gongzu was startled when he saw Zhang Yue helping his father out.
But Wen Yanbo said to Wen Gongzu: "Immediately send someone to Beijing to deliver 100,000 yuan to Zhang Xian's nephew's house!"
Zhang Yue couldn't help but be startled when he heard the words, but Wen Gongzu didn't have the slightest doubt when he heard the words and immediately turned around and left.
But when Wen Yanbo turned around and held Zhang Yue's hand, he said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, my dear nephew, as long as your wishes come true, but how can I accept the gift from a younger generation? If this is spread, it will not make Ling Yue laugh.
What?"
"Didn't you just say that success in officialdom should be achieved through continuous hard work over a long period of time? The same should be true between you and me! What do you think? Haha!"
