Chapter 142: Xiao Tian Apprenticeship
Xu wei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is a show talent, he was known as a prodigy when he was young, and then he was as obscure as Fang Zhongyong, but unlike Fang Zhongyong, although this person did not go well in the imperial examination, he was all fine in poetry and songs, and his calligraphy and painting can be regarded as a must.
If it is only like this, it is just a Tang Bohu and his ilk, which is not beneficial to the country and has nothing to do with the people, and it will never be able to enter the eyes of real dignitaries. However, today, his name is spread in the streets and alleys of Yanjing City.
The reason why this is so is because the well-known Marquis of Dingyuan was taught by this person, and he is about to officially worship this person as a teacher.
Half a month before the apprenticeship, Xu Wei's name spread. In order to make a living, he sold his calligraphy and paintings before, and the life he lived was indeed similar to Tang Bohu, at this time his paintings were far from reaching the level of success in his later years, and one foot was only ten taels of silver at most, and almost no one cared about it, but since half a month ago, after his name was spread, the four words of Qingteng Jushi have risen in price.
In Shao-Xing, there are calligraphy and paintings of Qingteng monks, each of which is more expensive than a thousand gold, and the works that are practiced casually also cost hundreds of taels of silver, and if it is a serious masterpiece, three thousand taels of silver also have a big buyer. In the capital, his three-foot picture of flowers and birds was sold for a sky-high price of 5,000 taels of silver.
That's it, there is still no market. Who doesn't know that Xu Wei is now the teacher of Dingyuan Hou, his identity and status are very different from the past, although he is still there, but if he wants his paintings in the future, it will be extremely difficult, people want to help Dingyuan Hou give advice, how can they have time to entertain you?
Therefore, some people who really liked Xu Wei's calligraphy and painting bought his calligraphy and painting earlier, and they were all very happy, and they hung the calligraphy and painting in the most conspicuous position in the living room, and they didn't sell it for any amount of money, which was to be kept as a family heirloom.
I had crossed paths with Xu Wei before for various reasons but missed it, and now my intestines are repentant. Before, when Xu Wei was living in poverty, maybe he would write a few words to you if you invited him to dinner, but now? Hehe, I'm afraid ordinary people don't have the qualifications to let him write.
It's okay, the most tragic thing is the person who sinned Xu Wei before.
Xu Wei is used to being high on weekdays, his temper is somewhat sour, and his life is not good, there are many people who look down on him on weekdays, and some people have even bullied him. Those who are timid simply move their families and go incognito, and those who are bold are also busy giving gifts.
Of course, it can't be sent to Xu Wei, they haven't found Xu Wei's way at all now, Xu Wei has lived for more than thirty years and always has friends, these people who don't deal with Xu Wei on weekdays have sent gifts to his limited friends, this is almost the meaning of a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.
Others can still give gifts, but Xu Wei's eldest mother and brother are not recruited, although Xu Wei is also from an official family, he is a concubine, that is, the son of a concubine. In these years, the concubine and the concubine's son have no status, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are servants, not to mention, his father hung up soon after he was born.
After that, the eldest wife kicked out his own mother, and it is conceivable what kind of life Xu Wei lived in his childhood. After that, the eldest wife also died, and the two elder brothers simply divided the family property and did not leave a dime for Xu Wei, so that he even needed to make ends meet.
In the past two days, Xu Wei's two eldest brothers don't know how they are doing, Xu Wei may not have the heart to deal with them, but there are many people who want to pat themselves on the back. What's the best way to please someone? Of course, it was an enemy who offended him, and the so-called enemy of his enemy is a friend.
Within two days, the two eldest brothers returned all the property that was divided at that time, and they didn't even dare to go out.
The most coke is his examiner.
Xu Wei didn't win the exam, of course there was nothing before, and there were many things that hurt Zhongyong. But now it's different, if you can teach Dingyuan Houlai, how can you be an idle person? Haven't you heard that even Hu Zongxian and Hu Zhongcheng admire him very much?
I don't know who is so powerful that he actually found Xu Wei's examination papers for several township exams, and it has been circulated in a considerable range, and even the cabinet bigwigs have seen it.
Xu Wei's article can be said to be the same as him, two words, chic.
The so-called chic is elegant. The so-called elegantness is the waves. If the article is written profligately, it is naturally unruly, and it is difficult to get ahead of the article if it is not rude. In addition, Xu Wei's literary brilliance is flying, the articles he writes are extremely gorgeous, and he also quotes all kinds of scriptures, and there are sentences in the east and west.
Such an essay is naturally excellent, but it is not suitable for the examination, just like when you wrote an essay of the same level as Zhu Ziqing in the college entrance examination, do you think the grading teacher will give you a high score? Besides, the level of examiners who can take the exam is limited, and even limited to the level of the Four Books and Five Classics, many books have not been read, Xu Wei's knowledge is too wide, and the examiners can't even understand many of them.
As a result, such an article is naturally a rare good article in the hands of these scholars who write green words to Jiajing every day. As a result, all the examiners who presided over the examination papers of Xu Weihui were tragic, and it was best to be demoted.
And at this time, Xu Wei, who was in the center of public opinion, spent the most proud few days of his life happily, he used to have difficulty even eating, where did he think that this success would come so quickly? Although there is nothing old in the capital, there is still an endless stream of people who come to visit every day, no matter how big the Confucian is, they are full of praise for him.
It is no exaggeration to say that although Xiaotian is not a big man, his status is very important, and there are definitely not many people who dare not to give him face in this world.
The great Confucian recruits apprentices, and he wants to invite the world, so he has to get some heavyweights to witness it. This Xu Wei is definitely not a great Confucian, but this disciple is very powerful. Everyone knows that this is the apprenticeship ceremony, and it is simply a good teacher.
In the past few days, Xu Wei has also met a lot of so-called Confucians, but Na Cheng thought that when it came to the day of apprenticeship, these so-called Confucians would have no place to stand at all.
Seeing who the guests are, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Mo, all present, all the officials, big and small, are here, it can be said that at this time, if a big stone falls from the sky and kills all the people in the house, the court of the Ming Dynasty will be paralyzed directly. Even He Xinyin, the master of Xinxue, specially rushed to cheer, and it can be said that everyone in the room is as heavy as Mount Tai when they are outside.
But no matter how many guests come today, Xu Wei and Xiao Tiancai are the protagonists today. Xu Wei sat down at the bottom of the hall as a matter of course, looking at a large number of lords who were usually scary just by hearing their names sitting on both sides, and the beauty in his heart was bubbling.
When Xiaotian wore a robe and knelt down as a standard, Xu Wei only felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly cried out and said: "The most boastful thing in my life is that I taught you." (To be continued.) )
