This was the first time they had met, and Zhang Wang didn't plan to give Chen Yang a good look, he deliberately walked into the study with a straight face.

Zhang Chunhua also expected this to be the case, and she gently pulled Chen Yang's hand.

Chen Yang immediately understood, walked to Zhang Wang's side, and said with a smile: "Uncle, please take a seat, they are ......"

"I don't need to know some unimportant people." Zhang Wang said a little arrogantly.

Chen Yang originally wanted him to sit next to Cao Cao and them, but Zhang Wang sat directly in front of Chen Yang's desk, as if he disdained to sit with Lao Cao and them.

When he found that the tables and chairs in Chen Yang's house were actually different from what he usually used, he was a little surprised, but he still sat down, without cross-legged legs, and backrests, which felt quite comfortable.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yang was a little embarrassed, so he could only shake his head at Cao Cao, and then smiled bitterly.

Cao Cao was indeed a little angry, but for Chen Yang's sake, he could only endure it, if someone else dared to be so unkind to him, he would have already fallen to the ground.

"No need to know? I don't even want to know who you are! Cao Ning didn't expect so much, it was already reluctant to let her come to see Chen Yang today, and she was to be looked down upon by Zhang Wang, she first retorted.

Zhang Wang was about to open his mouth to scold, but Chen Yang had already preemptively said: "Uncle, don't be angry, they are all my friends, Lao Cao, why don't you come back tomorrow?" As you can see, I have other things to do, and I'm really sorry for the inadequacy. ”

Cao Cao looked at Zhang Wang and pondered for a moment before saying, "Today, there is something urgent to discuss with you Shopkeeper Chen, we can wait." ”

He could see what the relationship between Chen Yang and Zhang Wang was, and then glanced at Zhang Chunhua, and laughed disdainfully in his heart, since the shopkeeper Chen could take a fancy to Zhang Wang's daughter, it was Zhang Wang's honor, and he didn't know how to open his mouth if he wanted to marry Cao Ning to Chen Yang!

If Zhang Wang still dares to be ignorant, Cao Cao thought to himself that it would be unkind.

Cao Ning still wanted to speak, but Cao Ang pulled her and signaled her not to mess around, so she had to give up.

"Father, they are all friends of Zi'an, don't you want to be like this, okay?" Zhang Chunhua felt sorry for Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said: "Uncle, I neglected you, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Zhang Wang's face was still not very good-looking, and after glancing at Zhang Chunhua, he had no choice but to nod.

Next, Zhang Wang's eyes casually looked at the table, and unexpectedly saw the words that Chen Yang had written casually just now, he picked it up and looked at it twice, and said dissatisfiedly: "You wrote it?" ”

Chen Yang nodded and said, "I scribbled it just now." ”

Zhang Wang snorted coldly: "Sure enough, it was scribbled, and it was written in a mess and mess, but this content ...... The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes, well! ”

He continued to look at it, and the disdain on his face gradually changed.

In this era, there is no such style as words, but some Yuefu folk songs, poems and other sentence patterns have been very common.

At first glance, Zhang Wang felt that this word was different from ordinary Yuefu folk songs, and after looking at it carefully, he was even more surprised, he vaguely felt that this word was very novel in terms of rhyme, which he had never seen before.

The opening sentence of this song "Linjiang Immortal", Cao Cao had heard it when he met Chen Yang for the first time, and when he heard Zhang Wang say it again, he felt curious and leaned over to take a look.

"The rolling Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes."

Cao Cao read it in a low voice, aren't these two sentences exactly the same as today's heroes, but they are fleeting like waves, and he also read it: "The success or failure of right and wrong turns empty, it is very well said, what is right and wrong, success and failure, in the end it is not empty?" ”

However, as soon as Lao Cao finished speaking, he had to wonder if it was worth it to compete for this world?

Hearing that Cao Cao and Zhang Wang both said this, Mrs. Ding and the others also leaned over curiously and read Chen Yang's words together.

"The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of boiled wine is happy to meet. ”

The next part was read out by Zhang Wang, and he continued: "How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”

"It's all in laughter."

Cao Cao exclaimed: "How many things have happened throughout the ages, and in the end they have been lost in history, and they are just a topic of wine and chatter." ”

Zhang Wang finally changed his opinion of Chen Yang, and said: "These sentences are not like Yuefu folk songs, nor are they different from poems, and the sentences of different lengths are also a bit like the Book of Songs, and the form is a little different. ”

"While reading the desolate and tragic in the sentence, it also creates a calm and quiet atmosphere, which is very well written." Cao Cao also said.

As one of the princes vying for hegemony, Cao Cao is the one who can best understand this state of mind.

In addition to being a traitor, he is also a great writer, and the three fathers and sons of the Cao family are the most important part of the literary style of Jian'an in history, and they understand the content of the words very easily.

"It's just a few crosses, and it makes me feel a lot of emotion when I read it!" Cao Cao sighed and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, he is really a great talent!" ”

"What is this kind of sentence structure of different lengths called?" Zhang Wang is more concerned about this.

"It's called a word!" Chen Yang explained, "It is also called a song word, which can be understood as a word used for singing, and can also be called a long and short sentence according to the characteristics of the sentence structure. ”

The origin of the word seems to have been traced back to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and they have never heard of it.

During the period of the late Han Dynasty, Wei and Jin dynasties, Yuefu folk songs were mainly used, and they had never seen such long and short sentences except for Chu Ci and the Book of Songs.

Just like Boss Cao created a precedent for using ancient music to write current affairs, their poems have a bit of music flavor, and most of them are based on four or five words.

It is worth mentioning that not long after, Cao Pi's seven-character poem "Yan Ge Xing" created a precedent for seven-character poetry.

Therefore, Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, father and son, are one of the ceilings in the Jian'an literary world, and they have made great achievements.

"You wrote this kind of word?" Zhang Wang looked at Chen Yang, his attitude changed again, he was no longer straight, but he was deeply interested in Chen Yang.

Cao Cao also looked at Chen Yang, and he only now found out that the shopkeeper Chen really knows a lot, he can make money in business, he can also make suggestions, he can also write words and sentences, and even the simple and easy-to-remember numbers are also invented by the shopkeeper Chen, not to mention any quyuan plough and salt mines.

With such an all-round talent, Cao Cao felt that it was given to him by God, and he must not let go of the shopkeeper Chen, even if Cao Ning was Chen Yang's concubine, he had to be brought to his side.

Chen Yang nodded and said, "That's right, if you don't like it, then tear it up." ”

Because of the concept of words, Chen Yang didn't know if they could accept it.

Zhang Wang shook his head, he snatched it from Chen Yang's hand, and suddenly found that it was still paper that was written, and said in surprise: "How can this kind of paper be so good?" ”

Cao Cao also picked it up and touched it, and sure enough, it was paper, the quality was better than the paper they knew, and it could be written smoothly on it, and it would not fester.

"Shopkeeper Chen, could it be that you also made this kind of paper?" Cao Cao suddenly understood something.

You must know that at this time, the carrier of writing is still bamboo slips and silk, the former is too heavy, and the latter is too expensive.

Paper, it's not that they haven't tried to write, but the technology of papermaking is not mature enough to be used.

The emergence of Chen Yang's paper can be said to change the culture of an era and is more conducive to the dissemination of knowledge and scholarship.

Cao Cao and Zhang Wang are both big figures and great writers of this era, as long as you think about it carefully, you will understand the pros and cons.

Lao Cao's hand holding the paper trembled a little because of excitement.

Because the scholar class basically controlled the scholars of the entire era, ordinary people had to go to the private schools of the scholars to read and write, and a large part of the reason was that only the scholars could see books.

Books made of bamboo slips are very precious.

Those who can become officials are scholars, and according to their official selection system, those who become officials are also recommended by the scholars.

That is to say, most of the officials in the court are from the scholar family, and because of this, the fourth and third princes like the Yuan family have countless protégés.

The emergence of this kind of high-quality paper can change the state of books from bamboo slips, which is conducive to the spread of knowledge, thus breaking through the limitations of the monopoly of the scholars, and Boss Cao no longer has to worry about the family around the Son of Heaven.

Cao Cao was quick to think of this benefit.

Shopkeeper Chen, you have brought me Lao Cao a surprise again.

In the end, Chen Yang spoke slowly: "That's right, this kind of paper is made by me!" ”
