Xu Wei couldn't help but applaud again, and said, "Yes! Qingdong, your analysis is very accurate!"

Chen Qingdong said: "Sister Wei, I have studied in the Chinese Department for four years, and it is the first time I have heard someone interpret "Yueyang Louji" like this. ”

"Qingdong, do you think my interpretation doesn't make sense?" asked Xu Wei.

"It's not unreasonable, it's just that the way of thinking is a little unreasonable. Chen Qingdong said carefully, "However, Sister Wei, if you follow your idea, then Fan Zhongyan's purpose in writing this article is to post gold for Teng Zijing, then it seems that it is not good for Fan Zhongyan himself." Moreover, Fan Zhongyan is a representative of Qingliu among scholars, and he attaches great importance to his reputation, and he seems to have no reason to put down his identity to promote Teng Zijing. ”

Xu Wei smiled: "Qingdong, if I say another point of view, it will definitely surprise you even more." ”

"Say it, Sister Wei, I've seen your routine and I'm mentally prepared. Chen Qingdong smiled bitterly.

"I think ......" Xu Wei deliberately pulled a long seedling before continuing, "I think the author of "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is not Fan Zhongyan at all, but Teng Zijing. ”

Even though Chen Qingdong was already mentally prepared and knew that Xu Wei would definitely say a point of view that subverted his thinking, but this point of view was too subversive, the fact that the author of "The Story of Yueyang Tower" was Fan Zhongyan was recognized by the academic community, and Chen Qingdong also determined that this matter was recorded in conclusive literature, and there were many such documents.

Chen Qingdong smiled: "Sister Wei, your idea really shocked me!"

Xu Wei also smiled: "I knew you would be shocked, but I didn't say it casually." ”

"Then what evidence do you have?" asked Chen Qingdong.

"As for the kind of accurate research that is similar to that of academia, I don't have it. Xu Wei said frankly, "I said this point of view entirely through the analysis of some historical phenomena, coupled with my subjective inference. ”

"I want to hear about it. Chen Qingdong said, and this time he said very sincerely.

"Okay, then I'll give you a rip. Xu Wei moved her buttocks, adjusted to the most comfortable position, and then said eloquently, "Qingdong, first of all, I want to explain that my point of view is based on my previous point of view. You also said just now that it is impossible for a Qingliu official like Fan Zhongyan to put down his shelf and write a meaty ode for Teng Zijing, so who would write such an ode, of course, is Teng Zijing himself!"

Chen Qingdong was shocked when he heard this, and said with a dumb smile: "Sister Wei, your statement is really groundbreaking. ”

Xu Wei smiled: "I knew you would be surprised when you heard it, hehe, tell you the truth, in fact, this statement is not what I thought of, but when I was studying in Toronto, there was a Chinese alumnus who told me at a party, my classmate's father is quite promising, is a famous professor at Hong Kong Chinese University, it is said that his grandfather is even more powerful, and Jin Yong, Ni Kuang are good friends, and when I was young, I often drank with Gu Long, Huang Zhan and others. As an alumnus, influenced by my family, I have been fond of ancient Chinese literature since I was a child, and I often find that some of the history that is recognized by the academic community is actually a fallacy. ”

Chen Qingdong didn't know whether to believe Xu Wei's words, but he felt that Xu Wei's classmate's life experience seemed to be too legendary, and he was friends with so many talented people, but Hong Kong is a small place, if his grandfather and father are famous professors, it is very likely to be friends with Jin Yong, Ni Kuang and others.

However, compared with the life experience of her alumnus, Chen Qingdong is more curious about how she, an alumnus, interprets that "The Story of Yueyang Tower" was written by Teng Zijing.

Chen Qingdong asked, "Sister Wei, how did you deduce this as a classmate?"

"I see that you are quite curious, so I will tell you about it. Xu Wei seemed to be happy, and said with a smile, "According to me, an alumnus, I found that when this "The Story of Yueyang Tower" came out, Fan Zhongyan had never been to Yueyang Tower at all, and his understanding of Yueyang Tower was closely related to a landscape painting sent to him by Teng Zijing, as well as the poetry and description of Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake by some predecessors, in fact, they are some second- and third-hand information, through these materials, it is difficult to imagine that Fan Zhongyan can be in "The Story of Yueyang Tower" The environment of Yueyang Tower and Dongting Lake is described so realistically. ”

Chen Qingdong thought that Xu Wei's statement was not fully convincing, so he retorted: "I don't know how your alumnus found out that Fan Zhongyan hadn't been to Yueyang Tower before writing "The Story of Yueyang Tower", but the ancient literature records are actually one-sided, and I can't fully believe it. Besides, even if Fan Zhongyan has not been to Yueyang Tower, it does not mean that Fan Zhongyan cannot write "The Story of Yueyang Tower". For a great writer like Fan Zhongyan, it may be more difficult to stimulate his imagination based on calligraphy and painting and ancient poems left by his predecessors. The description of the scenery in front of "The Story of Yueyang Tower" can be called a stroke of genius, if you haven't talked about it with your own eyes, maybe your imagination will be richer, and the writing will be so expressive. ”

Xu Wei pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said, "Okay, now let's talk about the second point." According to my friend's rummag of literature, after the publication of "The Story of Yueyang Tower", in the autumn of the same year, Teng Zijing was promoted to the prefect of Huizhou, and soon to the prefect of Suzhou. Teng Zijing's promotion to an official is largely the result of "The Story of Yueyang Tower". ”

Chen Qingdong actually knew about this historical fact, but he never thought that it had anything to do with "The Story of Yueyang Tower" written by Teng Zijing.

Originally, after Chen Qingdong heard Xu Wei say this groundbreaking opinion, he was still very expecting Xu Wei to come up with some conclusive evidence to prove this point, but now after listening to Xu Wei's two arguments, he was a little disappointed.

Although the two points Xu Wei said seem to be conclusive and reasonable, they are actually just subjective assumptions and not convincing.

However, in order not to embarrass Xu Wei, Chen Qingdong did not refute, but asked, "Sister Wei, in addition to these two arguments, are there any other arguments?"

Xu Wei seemed to see through Chen Qingdong and didn't believe what she said at all, and originally wanted to give Chen Qingdong a long talk with great interest, but suddenly lost interest, and said a little angrily: "Of course there are arguments, but I'm too lazy to say them." Still, I'll give you one of the most important arguments. ”

"Okay, listen up!" Chen Qingdong said politely.

"I see what these literati have written, and they all say that they want to be indifferent to fame and fortune, to 'pick chrysanthemums under the east fence', to 'not be happy with things, not to be sad about themselves', and what is more sour' is 'you don't need to seal the marquis of ten thousand households in life, but I hope to know Han Jingzhou', 'I want to help without a boat, and I am ashamed and sage. Sitting and watching the angler, there is nothing to envy the fish', and there is even more powerful, what kind of 'poet ghost' Li He, because he avoided his father's name and could not take the exam, he died of depression...... Hehe, if you want me to say that these literati are either full of false pure hearts and few desires, or they are in pain from the side, in fact, what I am looking forward to in my mind is not just two words: be an official!"

When Xu Wei said this, she kept a faint sneer, obviously very disdainful of what she said.

Chen Qingdong couldn't help but blush a little when he heard this, Xu Wei said that these famous literati and writers in ancient times actually wanted to be officials, which is also a fact, but Xu Wei didn't need to be too harsh on them, because in the ancient official-based social system, the social atmosphere was "everything is inferior, only reading is high", people who do business have no social status at all, only being an official is the only dream and way out for scholars, in addition to pursuing to be an official, what choice can they have? Is it to find the New World like Columbus, or to study the network code like Bill Gates?

In fact, not only in ancient times, but also in modern China, although the market-oriented economy has made considerable progress and young people have many more choices, the phenomenon of the official standard still exists, and the more backward the region, the more deeply rooted this phenomenon becomes.

Chen Qingdong himself is also dedicated to the pursuit of career, although at this stage, the development of the farm is the most important, but these are just a springboard and accumulation of qualifications, his only purpose is as Xu Wei said, to be an official!

Xu Wei gritted her teeth at this time and said: "In fact, just the ancients, the current people are the same, they are really as black as crows in the world!"

Chen Qingdong didn't know if Xu Wei was criticizing himself, and he was shocked and embarrassed, but he saw that Xu Wei's eyes were not actually looking at himself, but looking at somewhere else, and the focus was obviously not on himself, as if he was talking about someone who was not present.

Could it be that someone left a shadow on Xu Wei in this regard, so that Xu Wei saw Yueyang Tower and thought of these things that made her unhappy?

After a while, Xu Wei focused her eyes on Chen Qingdong again and said, "Qingdong, do you think what I said is right?"

Although Chen Qingdong was a little dismissive of Xu Wei's remarks, in fact, as Xu Wei said, what happened to these people who all pursued to be officials? People should always have some pursuits in life, some people pursue to be officials, and some people pursue making money. The world is bustling, all for profit. Although some people say that they are quite doctors, want to be scientists, and even want to be movie stars and sports stars, isn't the ideal of these people fame and fortune?

It's just that Chen Qingdong obviously felt that Xu Wei's mood was not very good at this time, so he was embarrassed to refute Xu Wei's words, so he smiled and said: "Sister Wei, you are right, the world is as black as a crow." ”
