Although Fang Zhongyong's name in his previous life was Fugui, there was really no artemisia in the old tomb, and it had nothing to do with the words rich and expensive.

The rich, from 宀 (mia

From the di, live in the palace room, rich in the righteousness of drinking food.

Understood from the glyph: Bao Gaitou means home, family; One horizontal means stability and stability; The spoken word means personnel, population, and population is labor; The word 田 means field, and the field symbolizes food, and food is property. Therefore, to sum up, the meaning of wealth at first means that the family is stable, the people are prosperous and the land is vast, that is, there is a house, a car, a background, and a family business.

The noble, from the moment from the shell. Return.

"Mencius": Use the lower to respect the higher, and call it noble. "Interpretation": Expensive, returning, and things are admired.

Expensive is high value, heavy weight, worthy of cherishing and attention, expensive can also describe a person's importance, superiority, criticality in the society, can also be an item in people's hearts of the position, or people yearn for the position.

The word rich and noble, the popular interpretation is to have money and status. At first glance, it seems that there are many people who have been able to meet this condition throughout the ages. However, Fang Zhongyong felt that there should be another meaning, that is, to be able to bless future generations, the so-called wealth and longevity.

If a person is rich and noble all his life, and as soon as he dies there, his house will be raided here, in fact, he is not really rich, such as He Shen; Or the first half of his life is rich and rivals the country, and he is a very good minister, and the second half of his life is cold, and half of his wealth is even more boring, such as Deng Tong. There is the so-called "perfect old man", who thinks that he has no regrets in this life, but he has left a mess for his children and grandchildren without knowing it, and he is a little worse than "long".

So, who is the richest man in ancient and modern times? Personally, I think it should be Yan Shu.

In the entertainment of the Northern Song Dynasty, uh no, in the cultural circle, Yan Shu is the absolute winner in life. He has been a prodigy since he was a child, and was given a jinshi at the age of fourteen. started early, had a high starting point, and Liu Yong, who was only admitted to the Jinshi at the age of fifty, had to be angry to death when he was compared with him.

Later, after a few years of study in the capital, he became the Guanglu Cheng of the six grades, the official to the right counselor, the bachelor of the Jixian Palace, the Tongping chapter and the privy envoy, the secretary of the criminal department of the Ministry of Rites, the scholar of the Guanwendian University to know the Yongxing Army, and the secretary of the military department. The highest official position is the prime minister (同平章事), and it lasts for ten years. He has opened a academy, run an education, and promoted the younger generation Junyan, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu and other famous ministers have to be honored as a "teacher" when they see him, as for the ultimate civil official, "open the palace with the three divisions", and pay homage to the prime minister three times, Fu Bi must be called "little son-in-law" and perform the gift of the younger generation.

It is this kind of lofty life that has created the rich and noble Yan words.

The ancients said that the word is Yankee, that is, there is no romance and no words are written.

Liu Yong's romance is "Mandarin duck embroidery is turned over red waves", playing with visual impact. Zhang Xian is "the two know what is going on, and the lights are down", and the whole thing is hazy and beautiful.

What about Yan Shu's romance? "Under the flowers in the south of the east city, I meet the person I like. Back to embroider the coat, show the fragrance, and tell the affection. "People are so generous, at first glance, they are engaged in big families, and Liu Yong and Zhang Xian are obviously playing hooligans or cheating.

This is just the early Yan words, and by the time Yan Shu became famous, he had long stopped playing romance, and people were playing elegance.

During the Three Kingdoms, Cao Apo and Liu Da'er were heroes who boiled wine with green plums, and Yan Shu was a beautiful woman with green apricot boiled wine. Like "the green apricot garden cooks the fragrance of wine, and the beauty tries the thin Luo dress for the first time", Liu Yong, Qin Guan and the like can't show it no matter what.

As the saying goes, the sea rises and falls, especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, if the official has not been demoted three or five times, he is embarrassed to greet people when he goes out. Officials are demoted, often depressed and depressed, even Fan Zhongyan, the first person in the Great Song Dynasty, who is known as the talent of the Nine Perfections, also wrote such depressing words as "bending his fingers to think carefully, striving for the same thing, Liu Ling is drunk" after the failure of the Qingli New Deal.

Yan Shu never did that.

The first time he was demoted to Songzhou, he mainly did two things. The first is to set up a college and invite Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi (later his son-in-law, who has been prime minister for many years) to give lectures; The other is to think about life. The famous song "Huanxi Sha" is the conclusion he reached. "Helplessly, the flowers fell, the familiar swallow returned, and the small garden incense path wandered alone." In fact, it is not the negativity we understand, but the principle of following the trend as an official, and the optimistic life concept of being at peace with the situation.

Wealth is like a floating cloud to me, and this kind of mentality of pretending to be 13 has never been Yan Shu. His attitude towards wealth is to come and go, and then he is happy, which makes wealth favor him uninvited.

In the second year of Qingli, Yan Shuguan worshiped Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and served as a privy envoy, that is, he was also the prime minister of civil and military affairs, and he was really above 10,000 people under one person. Two years later, during the Spring Festival, Yan Shu convened all the civil and military officials in Beijing to gather at home, and the grand scene was very large.

Although Yan Shuquan at this time leaned towards the government and the opposition, the words were only a kind of calm comfort and graceful and elegant ordinary heart. The participants praised one after another, and they all started with "Dongfeng Last Night", and wrote "Magnolia" to participate in this literary event.

A year later, Yan Shu's main wife, Wang, was awarded the title of Mrs. Yipin on her birthday, which was a great joy for the Yan family. Yan Shu's "Whisk Ni Dress" has the words "Feeling the emperor's grace, looking at the ninefold, and worshiping Yaoyun in the sky." ", expressed the meaning of thanking the lord Longen. There is nothing else to rejoice and celebrate, only "pour wine, and the heart is like to the person in the moon." A sandalwood board moved, and a stick of incense burned. This kind of low-key luxury is a little emotion.

Wu Chuhou, who was almost the same time as Yan Shu, recorded in the fifth volume of his "Miscellaneous Records of the Green Box": "Although Yan Yuan Xiangong started in the fields, the articles were rich and noble, out of nature. Taste Li Qingsun's "Rich Song" cloud: 'Axis music score golden book characters, tree record flower name jade seal plate'. The public said: 'This is a beggar, and he has not tasted the rich. 'Therefore, every time the prince sings about wealth and wealth, he does not say that the gold and jade are splendid, but only the weather. If "the poplar flowers on the side of the building pass, the swallows fly in the middle of the curtain", "the pear blossom courtyard dissolves the moon, and the willow pond has a faint breeze" and so on. Therefore, the father-in-law said from this sentence: 'Does the poor family have this view?' ’”

This passage can quite express the unique style of Yan Shu's rich words. The thoughts expressed in the words are neither the sorrow of the sad spring woman, nor the sorrow of the homesick wanderer, nor the deep sorrow of feeling the time and confusion, but the faint sorrow of the rich and noble who sigh that time is fleeting, the feast is no more, and the beautiful scenery is difficult to stay.

If it's just poetry with a rich atmosphere, his life is actually nothing, what is rare is that Yan Shu has a discerning eye for talents, and is willing to reward talents, when the world's famous people, such as Fan Zhongyan, Kong Daofu, Ouyang Xiu, Han Qi, etc., are all out of their doors, and can know the rich and rich in the cold, marry his eldest daughter to him, even the not very famous second son-in-law Yang Cha also became the imperial history of the Cheng.

I don't know if it's because Yan Shu has taken up all the qi of the Yan family, or because he can't have eugenics because he drinks too much, so that the eight sons (the third son is Yan Ying's heir), except for the youngest son Yan Jidao, who is comparable in poetry, the rest are all mediocre. But Yu Ze is still there, although high-ranking officials and nobles are not available, but they are rich and safe for a long time.

So much so, at the beginning of Song Zhezong's reign, when Yan's name was spread in Beijing, Su Shi, a generation of demons, asked Huang Tingjian to convey his hope to get acquainted, but Yan replied: "Half of my family is an old guest in the political hall today, and I haven't had time to see it." "It means that most of the high-ranking officials in the political hall are former guests of my family, and I don't bother to see them, which green onion is you Su Shi? It can also be seen that although the Yan family had no basis for important positions at that time, their confidence was also leveraged.

Of course, the above are all contained in the history of the Song Dynasty or the notes of the Song people, or there are discrepancies with the facts. But now that there is Fang Zhongyong's variable, there must be a big difference. At the very least, if Yang Cha wants to marry Rongyue, Fang Zhongyong will not care if he is lonely when he was young, whether his younger brother Yang Ning will be the champion in the future, he must make him unable to take care of himself, and it is not impossible for him to evaporate from the world. Just like a dog guarding a bunch of Xiang that he has worked so hard to get, he will never allow others to get involved, and the so-called "nest protection" is also.

At this time, the twentieth month of the second year of Mingdao, Bianliang East Watergate Wharf.

Yan Shu, who greeted his wife, looked at Fang Zhongyong as if he had seen a bunch of Xiang, with indescribable disdain and pickiness in his eyes. He replied to the Zeng Ye brothers' salute very elegantly, and the other party Zhongyong's salute only emitted a "um" from his nostrils.

Fang Zhongyong said in his heart: "Did I do something wrong? Why is the nose not the nose and the face not the face? ”

Yan Shuxin said: "Just such a stinky boy as you, you want to take away the cabbage that the old man has raised for many years, uh no, baby daughter." Look at the way he looks, well, and in the past; You see his temperament, well, it seems to be a little elegant; You see...... "Inside, I'm constantly playing a game of "everyone comes to find faults".

For a moment, the scene cooled down.

Or did Wang know his husband and knew that he was feeling sorry for his daughter, so he said with a soothing cheek: "Master, this place is still some distance away from the mansion near the left side of my Xiangguo Temple, can you take it together?" ”

Yan Shu said coldly: "Madame just cares about herself, you don't need to pay attention to the old man." Probably afraid that the Wang family would not like it, he added: "Madame is willing to ride with the old man?" The juniors let them settle down, and then it's not too late. ”

After all, it was outside, and the Wang family understood the mentality of men who wanted to save face, and reluctantly smiled: "It's all up to the master." "I shared a car with Yan Shu, and a group of juniors with no status continued to take a boat to the state bridge, store the boat, and find an inn to settle down.

At that time, Zeng Ye's father, Zeng Yizhan, was the crown prince Zhongyun and Dr. Taichang, and his professional titles were clear and his grade was not high. The former is a five-rank Jilu official, and the latter is just a "petty official" from the seventh-grade position. Although he was rewarded by the official family and received two salaries, the rice in the capital was expensive, and his life was very poor. Relying on the subsidy from the family, I bought a small house in the capital, and as soon as Zeng Ye and Zeng Gong arrived, they were not very spacious.

Fang Zhongyong declined Zeng Ye's invitation, and resigned Yan Juhou's unreliable suggestion to live in his house, and chose a more secluded (cheaper) inn to live in.

After settling down, Yan Rongyue was reluctant to leave. Fang Zhongyong was afraid that Yan Rongyue would be worried, so he was relieved, and took the opportunity to pull his little hand, which made Yan Rongyue ashamed, and he forgot about his father's cold attitude.

But Yan Rongyue can forget, how dare Fang Zhongyong forget.

Based on Yan Shu's attitude today, it is speculated that it is not ordinarily difficult to marry the pearl of the Yan family. Thinking about how Fu Bi and Yang Cha married the daughter of the Yan family, they probably understand Yan Shu's criteria for choosing a son-in-law.

Family background is not very important, of course, it is best to be born in an official family, and it doesn't matter if it declines.

It doesn't seem to matter whether he looks handsome or not, the history books only contain Yang Cha's "beautiful demeanor", and there is no description of Fu Bi's appearance, only that he is calm and atmospheric, and has the talent of Wang Zuo. According to the habits of later generations, if a person's appearance is really nothing to boast about, he will often praise his personality and temperament. It can probably be inferred that Fu Bi looks average, but he is afraid that he is not a "beautiful man" who looks better than Pan An.

As for the poems, before Su Shi's demon was born, Yan Shu could say unceremoniously, "It's not me who blows, everyone here is scum." Because of this, the two sons-in-law he chose, Fu Bi and Yang Cha, were not known for their poetry.

So, what kind of man can enter Yan Shu's eyes and marry the daughter of the Yan family?

Roughly speaking, talent. In detail, it is a talent who can stand out in the imperial examination and has the real ability to deal with practical things. According to Yan Shu's standards, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which advocates Xuantan, is afraid that there is no talent. The standard is not high!

Fang Zhongyong prides himself on being a talent, and he is a talent who is proficient in exams, although his ability to handle government affairs has not been shown, it is expected that he should not be much worse. And his own IKEA IKEA, oh no, Yunwen Yunwu, it is really a rare talent! If it weren't for the fact that he had Longwang Shu and intended to enjoy the blessings of all people, he added the hellish difficulty task of "connecting six yuan and marrying the official family", and it was expected that Mr. Yan would shout "virtuous son-in-law" affectionately as soon as he met.

But, regret it? remembered Wang Lingwei's parting sentence, "Brother Wenyuan, don't forget me!" Fang Zhongyong's heart ached faintly.

How can such a girl who sheds tears for you and is willing to be a little girl not do everything to give her a happy ending?
