Chapter 126: Journey to the Eastern Jin Dynasty (6)
In the morning, except for Wang Xuanzhi, the eldest of the six brothers of the Wang family, who was looking forward to it in Qingye Building, according to the rules, Wang Xianzhi should be greeted by Wang Xianzhi as a disciple, but Wang Xianzhi's literary strength can be said to be one of the best in the Wang family, and Wang Xianzhi cannot leave the table on this occasion. In order to promote www.biquge.info the development of literature, the Qingye Building was specially opened for literati to gather and learn from each other, and the Wei and Jin dynasties can be said to be another dynasty in addition to the Tang and Song dynasties, but the Wei and Jin dynasties are very few of the masterpieces that can really be handed down due to their age.
In the venue, basically all the people from the Wang family and the Xie family who should have come came, except for the two main forces of the Wang family and the Xie family, the two families each invited some literati.
Although the Wei and Jin dynasties were also very feudal during this period, they were not as good as the Song Dynasty, and many ministers brought their wives and children to participate.
In fact, there was a period of time when society was dominated by women, then it was dominated by men, and now it is dominated by women.
At the venue, these ministers, literati and scholars chanted poems and painted, and the literati and scholars here could paint, calligraphy, and chant poems.
Xie An, the prime minister of the Xie family who lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was full of praise after seeing the donkey painted by Wang Xianzhi, in fact, the Xie family and the Wang family are a family on the surface, the Xie family and the Wang family have been married for many years, and many women of the Xie family have also married into the Wang family, but the Xie family and the Wang family have been secretly competing and calculating each other.
After that, Xie An patted Wang Xianzhi's shoulder like he thought of something: "Xianzhi, I have been friends with your father for many years, if you let me say today's literati and ink writers, I will obey one person, that is your father Wang Xizhi, he made the reputation of the first book in the world of "Lanting Preface" is like thunder, your ability is to learn from your father, so that you can find a new way, worship a former Qin barbarian minister as a teacher, is this something wrong?" β
"Uncle Xie, my teacher said that literature knows no borders......"
"In my opinion, Brother Wang, you are famous in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and you went all the way to the former Qin to apprentice, do you think that there is no one in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?" At this time, Xie Xuan of the Xie family seized this fuse and began to attack Wang Xianzhi, hoping to use this to make the reputation of Wang Xianzhi, the number one talent of the Wang family, stinky.
"Xianzhi, it's not your uncle who said you, you see what kind of system you have become now, whether you recognize ghosts or ghosts, you didn't say hello when you saw your uncle!" At this time, Wang Xianzhi's uncle Xi Su also found this opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction: "When I was young, my uncle liked you the most as a child, you were literate and polite, but now you have been in Qianqin for a few months, and you have become not like people and ghosts, you have been the pride of the Wang family since you were a child!" β
"Xianzhi, turn back early, what is there worth learning from that former Qin person, the treasures left by your father are enough for you to study for a lifetime!" Wang Xianzhi's father Wang Xizhi's apprentice and fan Kang Xin stood up again, Kang Xin went to learn Wang Xizhi's literary skills, but Wang Xizhi's most talented son Wang Xianzhi went to defeat a man who was a minister for the barbarians as a teacher!
"You don't know at all, my teacher Zheng Qian is a literate person!" Wang Xianzhi finally found an opportunity, and under the attack of the machine-gun-like mouths of this group of Confucians, he found an opportunity to correct his teacher's name.
The reason why I brought my teacher to this literary meeting was not to let them slander my teacher, but also to let them know that they did not worship the wrong teacher.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty has always been passed on by word of mouth, Wang Xianzhi worshiped a god stick as a teacher, and got people who are not ghosts and ghosts, which is wrong!
The ancient people had no Internet, no newspapers, no media, they wanted to know about the former Qin can only be passed on by word of mouth, but hearing is false, seeing is believing, and there are many rumors in word of mouth, so the word Zheng Qian, in the former Qin is no1, but in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there are all kinds of rumors.
The main reason is that Zheng Qian's fame is sudden, the time is short, even if Zheng Qian no longer acts, and he did not come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in another year and a half, there are more people coming and going from Tianzhong Qianqin, Zheng Qian's reputation will naturally start in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, known as a household name brand in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
At this time, an old man in his fifties was supported by a little boy, and his body trembled on crutches and came to this venue: "You said that your teacher is a literate person, right, I want to ask you, which of the three things of his study, painting, and poetry can surpass me?" β
Seeing this old man, Wang Xianzhi was stunned: "Uncle Xu, didn't you die of poor health ten years ago?" β
"No, there are a lot of troubles in the world, I just want to put aside all relationships and return to the mountains and forests, and take a group of homeless children to raise them to adult......hood," the old man said, his body trembled, and he coughed under the pat of the little boy on the back: "It's just that I may feel that my own time is short, so I came out to finish all the things that should be settled, and then I can leave in peace......"
This old man was the eldest brother of his father Wang Xizhi and Xie An's family who lived in Xie An, he was a scholar, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and had given Wang Xizhi and Xie An a lot of help, but he lived in seclusion all his life, and once said that he would not be a master for life, no matter how the emperor issued an edict, he just did not obey.
In ancient times, there was such a person, and the elegant man who was determined to be an official, was considered to be not afraid of power, not greedy for fame and fortune, regardless of gains and losses, and the opportunity was considered by everyone to be a noble and noble great man, Xu Xun was a legendary figure in Xiaoshan, although he was not famous for his seclusion, but he was admired by countless literati and scholars.
Now that I heard that Xu Xun was old and frail, and that he had adopted a group of orphans and took care of them, this made the ministers of the Wang Xie family present even more admired.
This old man and his majesty were full of a fairy wind and bones, and everyone present, whether they were big or small, looked at him with respectful eyes.
Xu Xun looked at Wang Xianzhi without being salty: "Xianzhi, back then, your father wanted me to be your teacher, but you didn't even think about it and replied to me with a letter of rejection, but now, you actually worshipped a former Qin person as a teacher, as far as I know, this person chased fame and fortune, first started a business in a restaurant, and then bribed Fu Jian to buy an official with something called what is Aimu chopping to death, there is no real talent and learning, just for fame and fortune, this makes me confused......"
"Uncle Xu doesn't know, my teacher is a person who has heaven and earth in his heart, we know that he generally knows, and we don't know that he also knows!"
"It's an exaggeration!"
Zhu Yingtai was bored at home and was more interested in the classical literature Zhu Yingtai, so Zheng Qian brought Zhu Yingtai in a three-piece suit to the venue. Zheng Qian asked his groom Chen Tao to look at the carriage and a box of freezers and a box of rock sugar gourds inside, these two boxes were new products prepared by Zheng Qian.
Wang Xuanzhi can also call Zheng Qian Mr., no matter what, Zheng Qian's painting skills are unique skills, and he deserves to be Mr. Wang Xuanzhi.
However, Zheng Qian's character Wang Xuanzhi also has a little understanding in Wang Xianzhi's mouth, and he will not be a turtle with a shrunken head, Zheng Qian is a former Qin person after all, and in the end, the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin basically fell out, and the ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty often look down on the former Qin barbarians who belong to the nouveau riche, and it would be bad if Zheng Qian had a conflict with the people inside.
So Wang Xuanzhi was still instructing Zheng Qian: "Mr. Zheng, there are many important ministers in it, please pay more attention when you speak, and you should also be more responsible, after all, this is not your territory in front of Qin Tianzhong, and no one in the sky may be able to stand up to your words, but people here may not listen to your ......"
Zheng Qian lightly agreed: "I understand." β
Wang Xuanzhi is not wrong, even Emperor Fu Jian does not have the ability to veto his orders in the sky, because the people only listen to themselves and don't care what superiors receive.
When he entered the Aoba Building, Zheng Qian felt an unusual atmosphere, and everyone stared at him with unkind eyes. However, there are also some young men who still stare at Zhu Yingtai with casual eyes, and it is very rude to stare at other people's wives, especially in this dynasty. So even if Zhu Yingtai has delicate facial features, fair skin, and translucent, they can't stare at it directly, and after watching Zhu Yingtai look back at his wife, it will be a little cheap.
Zhu Yingtai has a good foundation, exquisite facial features, plus a good skin foundation, and is suitable for white skin, so after using high-end Chanel cosmetics, Zhu Yingtai, who was originally the best, has improved not only a grade, but when I first met Zhu Yingtai, she was a beauty one in a hundred, because at that time Zhu Yingtai would not take care of herself, wasting a lot of resources, and the skin was like a mixture of potato surface and moon surface, and later since using a few hundred dollars of Chanel cosmetics, the skin quality has increased linearly.
In fact, the first time she used high-end cosmetics, Zhu Yingtai refused, because she couldn't let Zheng Qian use it, she used it immediately, and she always had to try it......
Recently, Zhu Yingtai bathed with Mulan's defective, impurities, and expired milk every day, which is known as waste utilization, so that the skin of the two women has risen to a higher level.
This is the same thing for women in this era of lack of skin care products!
This venue was very large, and there were many people, one table at a time, ten in a vertical row, and three rows on each side of the road. Zheng Qian's position is next to the seven brothers of the Wang family, in the last position of the first row on the right, Zheng Qian is on the outside, and Zhu Yingtai is on the inside next to Wang Ningzhi's wife Xie Daoyun, the talented daughter of the Xie family, on the other side of the table.
Xu Xun was naturally unconvinced that Zheng Qian accepted Wang Xianzhi, a disciple whose reputation spread all over the world in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Wang Xianzhi was a child, he wanted to accept him, but he didn't expect this kid to live or die, and now he actually worshiped a famous person in the former Qin, how could Xu Xun have no obstacles in his heart: "Mistaken people's children!" β
"That's it, a former Qin man claims to be the number one talent in the world, do you take everyone who we sit down in your eyes?"
"Even if you have some skills in your heart, it is said that you are a Han Chinese, but you are willing to serve the barbarians, and even open a tavern shop or something to collect money everywhere!"
And Xu Xun saw so many people supporting him, and he didn't take Zheng Qian, the first person in the former Qin Wencai, in his eyes, the little boy supported Xu Xun, Xu Xun stood up tremblingly and on crutches, Xu Xun, who was sitting in the first place, did not walk down the aisle, but turned around but wanted to pass through the back seat of the first row.
The ten ministers of the first rank of the extremely human ministers, even with their wives, all stood up to make way for Xu Xun, Xu Xun did not become an official in his life, and achieved a lot of literati or ministers of extremely human ministers, this old man is now old and frail, and his life may not save many days, in his last ten years, he also disregarded his own health and conditions, and adopted dozens of orphans, if someone does not let this way today, he will be infamous for a lifetime.
Xu Xun stood up and looked at Zheng Qian with a pair of eyes full of vicissitudes: "If you want them to obey you, if you want to prove the meaning of your existence here, prove that you are indeed literate, pick up this piece of paper in my hand, write your name, and prove that you can read and write!" β
Zheng Qian picked up the paper but hesitated, because he was really not good at writing calligraphy, and he might want to say writing, but he couldn't write any of the calligraphers here. They all learned from childhood, and Zheng Qian's contact with calligraphy was only two years from the world of "Mulan" to the world of "Zhu Yingtai".
Zheng Qian also knew that he might not be good today, and it would have become his own criticism conference!
Seeing Zheng Qian's hesitation, some Confucians couldn't help but criticize Zheng Qian: "You can't even write your own name, you dare to be the first person in the former Qin Wencai!" β
"Are you all illiterate in Qianqin?"
"That's it, it's not but pretending!"
"Little Brother Zheng, the old man asks you, can you write your name or not, if you are illiterate, then where is the door, we are here in the Literature Society!" Xu Xun originally thought that Zheng Qian was a very awesome character, the first person of the former Qin Wencai, Xu Xun was already ready to rely on his old face to stand on the head of the first person of the former Qin Wencai, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even write his name, just like that, he was afraid of what he was doing, and he wasted his expression.
Seeing so many people despising their husband, Zhu Yingtai was anxious and about to cry, his husband was so good to himself, even if he was illiterate, he was still the person he admired the most, but Fujun was obviously not illiterate, he was just not good at calligraphy, Zhu Yingtai had seen it with his own eyes, and made four poems in a row in front of Zheng in the academy, Fujun is the founder of the five-character quatrain, and is the ancestor of all the popular five-character quatrain poets. knows all kinds of music and songs that he has never heard before, and his husband is a real genius.
Seeing that Zheng Qian is still calm, Zhu Yingtai is not calm, if Zhu Yingtai himself is despised by others, Zhu Yingtai will not openly oppose it even if he feels uncomfortable, but her husband has always been the person she admires the most, she is like a fan of her idol being cursed, women in love are generally blind, of course, it is the kind of sensual and rational choice of bread is also quite common, Zhu Yingtai snatched the paper in Zheng Qian's hand.
"My husband's hands are uncomfortable today, I can write for him!"
Zhu Yingtai, who had been grinding ink, took the blank paper, picked up the white paper on the table, and wrote two Xiujuan fonts in a neat and orderly manner, Zheng Qian.
Seeing that this beautiful woman can actually write, and although her writing is not as characteristic as these Confucians, it is also remarkable.
These great Confucians immediately felt that a flower with connotation was inserted in a lump of unnutritious cow dung.
"Little Brother Zheng, may I ask you, is your insider's name Zheng Qian?"
"No."
Listening to Zheng Qian, who has been impatient because this old man has reached the age when he has to give up his seat to make a bus, a group of big Confucians laughed, this is completely the words of Zheng Qian, which means that Zheng Qian, a big man, has to rely on his wife to stand up for him, a metaphor for a man is incapable, for this era of male superiority and inferiority of women, this kind of insult is fatal.
And Zhu Yingtai also knew that he might have made a big mistake, and his idea was to avoid his husband's embarrassment, but he didn't expect to be in the limelight and suppress his husband.
Zhu Yingtai wanted to explain to Zheng Qian, but he didn't know how to say it: "Then I am ......"
"Sister, I don't think you have to care too much about him, this man can't even write his name and is called the first person in the former Qin Wencai, doesn't this obviously prove that he is a hypocrite, you are beautiful and literate, why should you lower your own value, since your husband is not capable of writing his own name, you ghostwrite, what's wrong with this?" Xie Daoyun, a talented woman from the Eastern Jin Dynasty on Zhu Yingtai's side, finally couldn't help but speak.
"What do you know as a woman, Mr. Zheng is a person with a university question, I believe that his literary talent can convince anyone, maybe everyone who doubts Mr. Zheng today is destined to be disappointed, what are you doing with a kick?" Xie Daoyun's husband Wang Ningzhi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and said Xie Daoyun in front of the Xie family, mainly Xie Daoyun's usual autonomy was too strong to make Wang Ningzhi dissatisfied, and yesterday Zheng Qian's Wencai was the seventh son of the Wang family, and he had seen it, the first person in the former Qin Wencai, and it was absolutely fake.
"You have a reason, right?"
And Zheng Qian saw that Zhu Yingtai was embarrassed and snatched the paper back, and without saying a word, he wrote the two words Zheng Qian, one big and one small, crooked on the paper.
Originally, I thought that Zheng Qian was going to counterattack, but all the great Confucians of the Eastern Jin Dynasty watched intently, but they didn't expect to write a handwriting that was not as good as a tadpole crawling.
Xu Xun held up the two characters of Zheng Qian written by Zheng Qian with a brush and exhibited: "Look, this is the first person to write his name by the former Qin Wencai, Zheng is not Zheng, and the former is not the front!" β
After reading the words written by Zheng Qian, the Confucians present laughed after listening to Xu Xun's words.
A great Confucian laughed and said disdainfully: "This is the first person in the former Qin Dynasty, if I reach the former Qin Dynasty, I will not become the ancestor of literature!" β
"That is, we are all people who have traveled thousands of miles and read thousands of books, the knowledge in our hearts, and the things we know about the world, which are beyond the reach of very people!" A member of the Wang family said arrogantly: "Now it seems that in front of our Eastern Jin Dynasty family, the first person of the former Qin Wencai is like a fool!" β
"It can be said that we are all elites of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there is nothing in the world that we don't know!"
"It should be omniscient in heaven and on earth!"
Zheng Qian finally couldn't sit still, originally, he just wanted to contact his feelings, and by the way, he recommended his new products and made a product launch conference. But since the great Confucians have already sent the comparison to their own pockets, it is not possible to pretend to be this one.
Zheng Qian is really a little angry, and besides, Zhu Yingtai is still there, so he can't let Zhu Yingtai keep worrying about himself.
After these great Confucians, who were high up and didn't know what modesty was, finished bragging, Zheng Qian said slowly: "You say that the heavens and the earth know everything, then I will ask you a question that is so simple that it can't be simpler, what is the shape of the sky above our heads?" β
"Round!"
"The sky is round, the sky is round, of course the sky is round, this question is too simple!"
"Then do you listen to the story of Zhuangzi's sitting in a well and watching the sky......" Without waiting for the great Confucians who sat down again, Zheng Qian continued: "Once upon a time, there was a toad who lived in the well all his life and looked at the king of the well, and the toad said, I am big and comfortable here, I have this whole well, and I will use a world, but Wang δΈ¨ Ba smiled when he heard it, Wang δΈ¨ Ba said, I live in the sea, the sea is vast and boundless, the flood its water has not increased at all, and the drought has not decreased its water at all! β
"We all know that!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean, this toad is pathetic, living at the bottom of the well all his life, looking at the small piece of heaven at the mouth of the well all his life, and the endless sky in its world is round!"
After listening to Zheng Qian's words, the Confucianism of the entire venue did not change color, and Zheng Qian's meaning was that whoever said that the sky was round was a toad. Seeing Zheng Qian's appearance, Zhu Yingtai knew that her husband was finally unwilling to be spit on by everyone, Wang Xianzhi knew that the teacher was finally going to rise, and the other six sons of the Wang family knew that this former Qin Wencai was the first to go crazy. At this time, a young minister of the Xie family committed a crime against the wind, and when he heard Zheng Qian's words, he smiled: "What is wrong with us saying that the sky is round, do you dare to say that the sky is not round?" β
Hearing this, Zheng Qian said unhurriedly: "Strictly speaking, no one can say that the sky is round. β
"If the heavens are not round, is the earth round?"
"The earth is round!"
"What?!"
"You said the ground is round!"
"There was a man named Aristarchus in Greece, who said more than 500 years ago that heliocentrism said, but when we sit in a well and watch the sky, we are still unashamedly saying that the sky is round and the earth is square, do you think that the toad who lives in the well is pathetic?" Zheng Qian, who was a little angry, looked at the Confucians present: "We live in a big sphere, this sphere constantly revolves around a larger sphere, the sun rotates, this is called revolution, and the sphere we live in is also self-centered rotation, this is called rotation!" β
"Rotation, revolution?"
"What kind of mess?"
"Every year we are surrounded by this sphere, and the glowing sphere of the sun is completed in one revolution, because we have spring, summer, autumn and winter, and after our sphere rotates once, we have day and night!"
When Zheng Qian said this, everyone was silent, not because they understood, but because they were all thinking about what this former Qin man said, it was a mess.
The heliocentric theory is too advanced for the people of this era, no wonder Aristarchus more than 500 years ago is not accepted, and is considered blasphemous and tragic fate.
A great Confucian thought moved: "Bold, our ancestors countless great people have proved that the heavens are round and the earth is round, and our gods have also proved that the heavens are round, the earth is square, our copper coins, and even our mansions are inspired by the heavens and the roundness of the earth, and you deny all the predecessors with a heliocentric theory, and even deny God, you say that you are guilty or not!" β
"I'm not guilty, and I don't blaspheme, because the gods made me say that!"
