() Although Wang Wei had no interest in Zheng Shuying, when Zheng Shuying was silent just now, he suddenly thought that this Zheng Shuying's elder brother was named Zheng Qian, but he was a remarkable person.

The Zheng family in Xingyang, where Zheng Qian was born, is known in history as "it has been repeated for many generations, and it will last until the end of the Tang Dynasty", "the first family with hairpin tassels, and the heirloom of poetry and etiquette".When I was young, I was smart and studious, with outstanding qualifications. When I was weak, I was not promoted as a Jinshi, and I was trapped in Chang'an Ci'en Temple. I had no money to buy paper for studying. I saw that there were a few houses with persimmon leaves in the temple. I borrowed the monk's room and took red leaves every day to read books. The sky is long. After a long time, he practiced several houses of persimmon leaves, and finally became a generation of famous masters, which became a good story of scholars.At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Tong Zhilang, the first official, changed the head of the temple to Bo, who was the rafter of the East Palace. He was in charge of the affairs of Boshu.

Zheng Qian can be regarded as a famous writer, poet, calligrapher and painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. He is also a generation of Confucians who are proficient in astronomy, geography, natural history, military art, and medicine. , "Wen Chuan Tian Xia Mouth".Zheng Qian is well-educated, proficient in classics and history, and has outstanding achievements in calligraphy and painting. His biography is widely seen in dictionaries such as "Ci Hai" and "Ci Yuan", as well as professional dictionaries such as writers, poets, calligraphers and calligraphers in the past dynasties. Historical and cultural celebrities.

Tang Xuanzong also praised Zheng Qian as "Zheng Qian's three wonders". His poems, calligraphy, and paintings are all excellent. It is recorded in Volume [-] of "Records of Clan's Experience": "During the time of Xuanzong, Wang Wei's wonderful landscape, deep and deep, has never been seen in modern times. Wei finally Shangshu Youcheng. Zheng Qian is also a landscape artist, named Yayuwei. Quanshanfang official department minister Wang Fangqing's landscape courtyard has traces of devotion to landscape, which is the most important thing of the time. Devotion to calligraphy and painting, and poetry, so it has the purpose of "three wonders".However, the official journey was difficult, and finally Sihuyan in Taizhou. "

"Zheng Qian is also a landscape artist, and his name is Ya Yu Wei." It undoubtedly reflects this point, but at this time, Wang Wei, of course, did not know that Zheng Qian was so famous in history. He only knew that Zheng Qian was also Being a celebrity and being appreciated by the prime minister is enough for Wang Wei to feel that he has the value of making friends.

In fact, according to Wang Wei's gloomy psychology, he felt that Zheng Qian was definitely a showman, and he was forced to show off. As a direct descendant of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Zheng Qian would never be so poor that he had no money to buy The level of paper, even if paper in this era is indeed not cheap.

Of course, what needs to be understood is that it does not mean that the direct line of a famous family is very rich, because there are often several branches, some in the dominant position and some in the dominated position. Strictly speaking, Wang Wei's direct line His status is relatively high and he is in a dominant position, but now that he is separated from the Taiyuan Wang family, it can be regarded as getting rid of the shackles.

Because Zheng Qian was not ranked first, and the budget allocated to him by his family was exhausted by him, he had an idea, "So Ci'en Temple stored persimmon leaves for several houses, and then went to Japan to get leaves' books, and he became famous all the time." .

Why go to Ci'en Temple to write with leaves?Because Ci’en Temple itself is a place that attracts people’s attention. Maybe everyone in Ci’en Temple sounds familiar. If you add the words “Big Wild Goose Pagoda” after Ci’en Temple, you will be familiar with it. Yes, this Big Wild Goose Pagoda is in In the Ci'en Temple, there are many dignitaries who go to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to burn incense and worship Buddha. The Ci'en Temple is one of the most famous temples in Chang'an.

So after going back and forth, Zheng Qian's reputation grew like this. With the fame, and through the original contacts of the Zheng family, Prime Minister Su Ting directly recommended him to be an official. It's important, it's not like in the Song and Ming Dynasties, when sitting together and talking after becoming an official, first of all, you have to talk about which class of Jinshi you are, and if you don't have a Jinshi background, you are embarrassed to meet people and always feel short up one end.

However, all of this was caused by Wang Wei's dark mind, and he guessed at will. It cannot be ruled out that Zheng Qian didn't want to gain his reputation, but accidentally became famous because of practicing calligraphy with leaves. How about choosing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Ci'en Temple?But not only Ci'en Temple has red leaves.

Of course, no matter what, Zheng Qian's talent will not be faked. The prerequisite for earning fame and fame is to have talent, just like the stars of later generations, no matter how they hype, they can only stand 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, and he felt that Zheng Shuying in front of him was not so obtrusive at this time. Because of the family crisis, Wang Wei's utilitarianism can be said to have reached an unprecedented intensity. He doesn't mind making friends with anyone who he thinks will be helpful to his official career. As for the "Princess Yuzhen", he is excluded, and he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes in his dream.

Wang Wei wants to start from a potential official, not an official position like "Tai Le Cheng", which is similar to an actor, so he will never be complacent about the exquisite poems he can make, because poetry The main function of the body is the tool he uses to climb up, and other functions are secondary.

Wang Wei didn't want to be disheartened and half-official because of being a clerk with no development potential in the future, which would make the family's situation worse, so he wrote a poem like this by accident: "ri Seeing Taihang in the evening, pondering and failing to go. I asked you why? I was born in the world. My younger sister grew up, but my brother has not married. The family is poor and the salary is thin, and the savings are not good. When Sun ascended the Changxiao Terrace, there was a place left behind by pine and bamboo. The old man is in the middle of the road. The day of love dyeing has faded, and the day of Zen and silence has solidified. Suddenly, I will go, and I would rather wait until the age of the cloud."

"Little sister (Wang Fei) grew up day by day, and brother (Wang Jin) never married. The family is poor and the salary is low, and the savings are not sufficient." Although the last two sentences "the family is poor and the salary is thin, the savings are not sufficient." Some Exaggeration, it can only be regarded as a complaint, not to say that the Hedong Wang family is really poor to the point where it cannot be maintained, but it is also a very uncomfortable thing to decline from a first-rate family to a second-rate family.

Wang Wei, as a time traveler, if he really got into that kind of situation, he said that he should stop doing this great cause of time travel.

Moreover, the strongest lineage of the Wang family in Taiyuan can already be regarded as a successor. This competitor of Wang Wei's generation is also a well-known figure in history. His name is Wang Han, and he wrote that Wang Han of the first popular "Liangzhou Ci" - "Grape wine luminous cup, want to drink the pipa immediately. Drunk lying on the battlefield Lord Mo Xiao, how many people have fought in ancient times."

Wang Han is almost ten years older than Wang Wei. He was a Jinshi at the age of 20. He is extremely talented and has a wide range of contacts. Compared with Wang Wei, his greatest advantage is undoubtedly the help of Wang Renjiao. He was still living in Taiyuan Township at that time, and he was not in a hurry to become an official. He was waiting for the opportunity. After all, he himself was highly appreciated by Jiedu Envoy Zhang Jiazhen, and Zhang Jiazhen, who was highly regarded by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, was already planning to enter the cabinet to pay homage to the Prime Minister. Well, it is conceivable that once the team of Song Jing and Su Ting retire, 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 well with this bold and unruly clan brother, but the relationship between Wang Han's branch and Wang Wei's branch is not so bad. People can't be flattered - in the end, Wang Wei's branch was separated from the Taiyuan Wang family.Although Wang Renjiao is the direct enemy of Wang Wei's branch, there is of course a looming shadow behind him.

The news of the Taiyuan Wang family's internal struggles will basically not be spread. It is a big scandal, but sometimes the resources of the entire family have to be concentrated in one branch, which is more conducive to the development of the family. Whichever branch is more powerful can become the main branch. What Wang Wei has to do in the future is to let the branch of the Wang family in Hedong surpass the main branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan.

After knowing from memory that Wang Han is the "orthodox" son of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Wei felt a little regretful——Brother Ziyu, with me, you can be a small official with peace of mind in the future, and being a frontier poet with a long history is enough up.No matter how good his personal relationship with Wang Han is, he will suppress this clan brother when he is able.

Wang Wei, who had already put his mentality in front of Zheng Shuying, naturally changed his "cold and alienated" temperament quietly. After inadvertently using words to find out that the relationship between Zheng Shuying and Zheng Qian was not bad, Wang Wei Wei became more and more patient.

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

After all, she was able to make a well-known young man who seemed relatively cold and cheerful, talkative, and occasionally humorous words came out, which made her feel happy, and the breadth of knowledge displayed by Wang Wei's quotations made Zheng Shuying I admire him very much, and feel that Wang Wei has such talent at such a young age, but he has also worked hard.

Seeing Zheng Shuying smiling, Wang Wei saw that several layers of thick gouache fell off, suppressing his nausea, and felt that the relationship was almost close, after all, they both called each other by name.

So he didn't want to talk any more, and finally saw him, and said in his usual gentle and indifferent voice: "Shuying, I like landscape painting, and I was still studying at Wu Gongfeng's place recently, but I always feel that I have reached a bottleneck. I think it is due to the lack of communication, but your elder brother Zheng Zhubo is well-known in the world for painting landscapes, which I have longed for, I wonder if Shuying can introduce it for me?"

Under Wang Wei's ramblings, Zheng Shuying didn't realize at all that Wang Wei's pleasure in front of her was all because of her brother Zheng Qian, so she pondered for a moment, and Zhengyu agreed, and then her eyes widened suddenly, because She found that a large wave of zombies was approaching!

No, a large wave of "red peony" in green gauze and red dress is approaching!
