Chapter Ninety-Two: Fighting for the Piano
There are a few more reminders, I can't eat it, today I am a man of benevolence, and I directly gave a new explanation of thousands of years of benevolence and righteousness, and it took me a long time to say the truth, and I was more satisfied. Just finished the code, and everyone will be able to see it the day after tomorrow.
===================
In fact, the old lady didn't care whether he learned calligraphy or not.
Zheng Lang said very simply, but this sentence is not only the way to be an official, but also the way to choose talents. Li Yu and Song Huizong died in the country, and they forgot this. The talent of the article and the talent of calligraphy and painting are regarded as the talents of the officials, and regardless of the morality of the officials, they blindly employ people with talents, and as a result, many young people are used, and the country is rapidly **.
The old lady is not the master of these two masters. What she values is Zheng Lang's remarks in the inner palace and his views on politics.
What if you don't pass the Jinshi exam? Open an Enko, wouldn't it be the same as hiring? Besides, she didn't believe that Zheng Lang was stumped even for a small provincial test. Well, if you don't read carefully, it's hard to say. If you add the exam, there are at least tens of thousands of students who take the scientific examination in a year, and when they arrive in Renying, the maximum number of students at one time reaches 420,000, and there are 20,000 people in the Gongju Provincial Examination alone, and then the poor little jinshi is selected from them.
Is that that easy to get into?
Just look at Zheng Lang in the past few years, he has been reading hard every day.
The old lady didn't think deeply, first, she didn't care, second, she was enlightened before, and there were so many sayings about the mysteries of Zen Buddhism in the folk, Zheng Lang said a little mysterious, and he could understand it. So he said: "The mourning family heard that you made a pot for Liu Shao, and let him take it to the palace last year to take a look, and it was ...... taste."
Got it!
What words, what, the old lady didn't care at all, what she cared about was this pot!
Don't look at this little pot, just look at Lao Zhao's little blue child. Don't give the old Zhao Xiaolanzi, Zhao Pu still has a word, not for you, but for your children and grandchildren, to prevent them from, so no matter what the palace needs, it has to be approved layer by layer, this takes a long time, after a while, the emperor is not interested, will he want it again? In this way, your children and grandchildren will not be as poor and extravagant as Yang Guang. Zhao Kuangyin heard this idea well, it is the rule! Therefore, no matter whose official the emperor promoted or whose money he gave him, he had to go through the approval of multiple departments to supervise the imperial power.
In the palace, he said that he would reward Zheng Lang with a thousand gold, which was the absence of Wang Zeng and Cao Yong, if he was there, the old lady would be very conscious, and the mourning family would not open this mouth!
I heard that the main material of this pot is taken from a kind of purple mud in Yixing, one is whether the craftsmen in Yixing have the ability to make it, it may not be known, and the second is this procedure, she dare not speak, for fear that the official will go to the book again, and the thing is not asked, but it is ashamed!
Zheng Lang thought about this section, the system is good, but it also depends on the person who implements it, such as Hua Gangshi......
Since the old lady actually summoned herself into the palace for this little thing, she had to say: "This is a small thing occasionally made by the subjects for recreation, and it has burned out, and there are only six finished products in total, one is given to Liu Shaojian, one is for her own use, and one is for the eldest mother." ”
"Why don't you give it to Siniang?"
"......" Zheng Lang choked for a moment, old lady, did you send Inspector Zero-Eight to my house to investigate? I couldn't help but answer, so I had to say: "The Queen Mother, no, there are few finished products, there are seven mothers in the family, although the fourth mother is the biological mother of the subjects, if it is given to her, the other mothers will inevitably have some ideas." However, the eldest lady took care of the housework and made several mothers get along in harmony, which was not easy, so she had to give her only a handful. If you have time in the future, you can make a few more finished products, and the subjects will give one more each. However, there were just three more, and the subjects asked the old family guests to go back and ask for them, bring them to the capital, and give them to the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen. ”
In fact, it is clear that the old lady has something to say!
But I can't answer that the eldest lady is the biggest, and there will be many twists and turns in this matter in the future.
Vague bypassed.
The old lady was very satisfied, and said, "Okay, you can go." ”
"Whoa."
walked out, Si'er suddenly said, "Da Lang, the slave's legs are weak." ”
From beginning to end, the old lady didn't say a word to her, but the atmosphere in the palace, as well as that kind of luxury, scared the little fourth son softly.
"You're too unproductive," Zheng Lang shook his head.
"Zheng Lang, no, the slave is almost so scared that he can't speak." Jiang Xing'er said.
At this time, people's fear of imperial power, even if Zheng Lang knew, was still far underestimated. That's why his calmness makes others feel strange.
Helplessly, he helped the paralyzed Si'er onto the ox cart and returned to the inn.
On the way, he said to Uncle Song: "Uncle Song, you go back to the inn, report your safety to a few mothers, and then take a thousand yuan for me." ”
"Why does Da Lang want so much money?"
"A few years ago, I promised Chen Siniang at home to buy a good piano for her, and I happened to come to the capital, and I took a fancy to one a few days ago, and the price was moderate, so I bought it for her."
It was met by accident, it was made by the Taoist Wei Zhongzheng, at this time Wei Zhongzheng did not have a later fame, so the price of the piano made was not expensive, until more than ten years later, after Song Renzong cut out the "Qiong Xiangqin", the reputation was greatly enhanced.
After seeing it, Zheng Lang was very surprised, and went up to try the timbre in person, it was indeed a good piano. This is now, if it is more than ten years later, this piano will not be able to be won without 500 gold. And now only a hundred gold is offered, and a counteroffer is made, and one hundred gold is enough. It is the so-called great value for money.
Just let Lao Song go home to get the pot, and by the way, bring money to plate it down.
"Da Lang, Qian Tai...... Many. ”
A thousand yuan is not a small number for the current Zheng family.
"It's a lot, but strictly speaking, Chen Siniang is also my former Mr. Qin, and I promised, how can I look at people with wealth and nobility, if that, wouldn't I have read the sage books in vain in the past few years? Besides, her family has no relatives, and my family is equivalent to her maiden family. ”
What else can Song Bo say? After most of the day, he said: "Da Lang, you are like a mother, you have a good heart." ”
"Be a good person, as long as you don't abuse the old and be good."
After Song Bo left, Zheng Lang continued to ask Zhou Yue for a book. This time will be a little slow, at least two or three months, is to further consolidate his theoretical knowledge of calligraphy, the understanding of calligraphy, but the role of breakthrough is very small, so he chose the next goal.
These are the brothers.
The fame is not very big, but later the fame is not small, and the second Su Shunqin is a famous talent. What Huang Tingjian said about learning from Su Zimei, Zimei is Su Shunqin's words. But in calligraphy, the boss Su Shunyuan is slightly better, especially cursive, which is beyond Su Shunqin's reach.
The two brothers are only in their early twenties at this time, the elder brother Su Shunyuan's surname is more stable, and the second Su Shunqin's surname is very bold, not only the words are new, but the retro trend is not big at this time, but Su Shunqin has already begun to advocate ancient literature and ancient poetry with Mu Xiuhao and others, and many heroes are from it. And because of his talent, he was shaded by his father as Taimiao Sailang. Su Shunyuan also found a small official. But the official positions are not high.
When Zheng Lang arrived, the two brothers were a little stunned. They are also slightly famous at this time, but in the capital, there are not too many people who write a good handwriting, why did they find the two of them?
But anyway, it seems to be a very dignified thing, so I communicated carefully for a while.
The old lady also wondered when she heard this, among the six people she was looking for, if she was asked to guess, she could only guess Zhou Yue. So he asked Lu Yijian to find and watch the words of Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo, and the Su brothers. It's easier to find, the cantata, the test papers during the scientific examination, and so on. But what really caught her eye was only Fan Zhongyan's words, and the others were just like that.
But the old lady also had a bit of eyesight, and after a closer look, she finally saw that the novelty alone was that these people had calligraphy. But I don't understand, how did Zheng Jiazi know that these people had written new ideas in calligraphy?
In September, a small incident occurred in Kaifeng Prefecture, Wang Qixiong, the son of Wang Mengzheng, the minister who had a marriage relationship with the old lady, beat the old man to death, and the new Kaifeng Mansion Yin Chenglin was tried for this case. The old lady wanted to cover it up, and said to Cheng Lin: "Wang Qixiong is not a murderer, but his slave is beaten to death." ”
Cheng Lin replied: "Even if the house slave beats it, it will also be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for trial." ”
The old lady was silent.
At this time, the old lady still believed in Cheng Lin very much, after all, a few years ago, he presented a "Picture of the Empress Wu Linchao", which implied that he could be Wu Zetian, but the opposition was too loud, so he had to say: "I can't do the things of being a negative ancestor." ”
is considered "his own person", so he let him handle the case according to the law.
After Zheng Lang heard this, he knew that the old lady was a little careless, which was already a very bad sign.
But at this time, he couldn't care about so many things outside of his body. After observing the calligraphy of the six people, he received the careful guidance of Zhou Yue and had a deeper understanding of calligraphy. But I still haven't found a breakthrough! It's not even more than he can control.
Zheng Lang was a little disheartened, and often thought in his heart: Could it be that I can only write these six or seven fractals in my life?
Just when Uncle Song came back, let's buy the piano first. negotiated the price with the shopkeeper for a long time, not Zheng Lang, asked Si'er and Jiang Xing'er to bargain, he stood on the side and listened, and finally pressed the price to one hundred gold. Suddenly, I heard a whisper in my ear: "I want the piano." ”
The voice is very good, but Zheng Lang screamed in his heart that no one cares where this thing is placed, and the price will plummet, so he is afraid that someone will coax him to raise it, and as soon as he raises it, the price will rise immediately. If you carry it to 150 or 60 gold, is it for the sake of this piano, regardless of the words, regardless of the food and accommodation expenses on the road, begging for food and going home?
