Prime Minister

Chapter 140 Li's Vision

When you arrive at the water pavilion, you can see willows planted all over the lake.

There has been a seat here for a long time, and the envoy of the Wu family brought tea.Zhang Yue saw that these female envoys were very young and beautiful, and one or two of them were particularly outstanding and merciful.

"I've met the champion!" A female envoy brought tea to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Yue didn't know how the other party knew that Zhang Heng was the number one scholar, but seeing her shy and affectionate look, Zhang Yue couldn't help being envious. Isn't it the pursuit of many people's life to have such a halo and aura?

Zhang Heng was looking at the lake view, but when he saw Zhang Yue's envious expression, he understood immediately.He looked at the female envoys in the water pavilion again, without stopping his eyes, and asked Zhang Yue again: "Sanlang, do you have any women you like?"

Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "All you have to do is study, and you don't have time for other reading."

Zhang Heng said happily: "Very good, this is the truth. I'm worried that at your age, it's the time to be greedy for women's beauty."

Zhang Yue was surprised and said: "If you don't covet women's beauty, what are you coveting for?"

Zhang Heng laughed and said, "What are you greedy for? Sanlang, what do you think these maids think of me just now?"

"Of course it's because you are the number one scholar today, I respect your talent."

Zhang Heng said: "Of course there is a reason for this, but if the matter of talent is not put into practice, who can appreciate it? This woman doesn't marry for money or power. Could it be that she can't be married to Huaqiang? You will know it at my age, no matter how beautiful she looks Look at it for twelve or three days at most."

Zhang Yue said: "Thank you, Chief Veteran, for your suggestion!"

Zhang Heng said: "It's rare for you to listen. Let me say a few more words. Women can climb up vines, and men can climb dragons and drag their tails. Now I regret that I got married too early when I was young. After Shi Brown, I have less help. Now I am in an official position. It was really difficult.” (Note 1)

Zhang Yue couldn't accept it for a while, and it was too snobbish to say so.

But this was already a first-class custom in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. The son-in-law of the prime minister's family may not be the prime minister, but most of the prime minister's father-in-law is the prime minister.

Even Zhang Heng, Zhang Yue couldn't help but want to ask, is it because I told you a unique allusion that you are willing to talk to me now?

That's because I entered the Taixue.

For example, a person like Su Shi whom I admire, I admire and admire, but after meeting each other, it is not related to each other, so it is difficult to talk to each other.

It's like brothers who are close to each other, but one of them is so vulgar that he can't talk about heart-to-heart.

Therefore, Zhang Heng's heart-to-heart relationship with himself today is because the two are relatives and have been classmates, and the second is because he is a student of the imperial court.

Zhang Yue suddenly discovered a cruel truth in interpersonal communication.

It turns out that the relationship between people will really change with the change of status.

This is not about snobbery, it's like saying something casually, others think it's pretentious or jealous, so there's no need to talk about it.

This is still the case in later generations, let alone the Song Dynasty where people were not equal.

Zhang Yue thought of Guo Lin again, if the two people's identities are very different in the future, then no matter how good their friendship is, can they still last as before?

Is this how relationships are in life?

While drinking tea, I suddenly saw a group of people coming from the opposite side, entered the theater next to the water pavilion, and then walked towards the water pavilion.

Everyone discussed for a while, guessing that it was Wu Chong who came.

Everyone greeted them out of the water pavilion, but Zhang Yue saw a middle-aged man with an excellent bearing approaching slowly.Wu Anshi and Wu Anchi rushed forward to meet the middle-aged man, then Wu Anchi followed Wu Chong and walked towards the water pavilion, while Wu Anshi went to the auditorium.

Everyone bowed together and shouted: "I have seen the prefect."

Wu Chong is currently the magistrate of Shanzhou. Everyone calls him Taishou, which means the governor of a county in the past.Ouyang Xiu also claimed to be the prefect in Ji of the Drunkard Pavilion, and he was also out of Chuzhou at that time.

Wu Chong said with a smile on his face: "You don't need to be polite."

At this moment, in the theater which is less than ten meters away from the waterside pavilion, Wu Chong's wife, Li Shi, and the Wu family's eldest daughter-in-law, Fanshi, are all looking into the waterside pavilion through a curtain in the theater hall.

At this time, Wu Anshi arrived panting.

It turned out that the Wu family was here not just to watch a play.

Wu Anshi introduced.

"Mother, the person next to Dad is Wang Guan, nicknamed Daosou, a native of Rugao, very talented in literature, and now he is married."

"Mother, this is Zhang Heng, the number one scholar. He is already married."

Li said: "Wen Quxing is really extraordinary, who is his wife?"

Wu Anchi said: "I heard it was a marriage arranged by my hometown, and she is a woman from an ordinary family."

Fan said: "This is the short-sightedness of the parents. They are only 30 years old. Wouldn't it be better to wait a few years?"

Li Shi said: "According to what you said, don't scholars nowadays get married before the age of 30?"

Fan lowered her head and said, "Mother is right."

Wu Anchi said with a smile: "Brother Ziping is a good man! After he won the number one prize, he brought his wife to Huzhou, and then went on a career in officialdom. He heard that his wife was not in good health, but he kept seeking medical advice for her."

Mrs. Li praised: "There are too few men who are so affectionate and righteous."

Wu Anchi said: "Mother, this is Zhang Dun, with thick characters, who abandoned the list last year. Now she is married to the daughter of Zhang Yushi, and she is also the governor of Kaifeng."

Mrs. Li looked at Zhang Dun and said, "He is quite a talent."

Then he asked Fan, "What do you think?"

Fan said: "I heard that last year I abandoned the policy and the list, and everyone in the capital said that this person has nothing to do."

Li Shi said: "Don't listen to the fact that the wind is the rain, and others say that no action means no action? What if you abandon the list, just pass the current subject. He is now the Fuyuan of Kaifeng. If there is no accident, this subject can be a high school." Who would dare to mention his past at that time."

Fan Shilian couldn't help being annoyed by being choked up by Li Shilian, and stood aside in a muffled voice.

Li said to Wu Anshi again: "People don't tell me one by one, just say that there are not many marriages!"

"It's mother. This Liu Ji is the one who talks and laughs with daddy. He is the No. 1 imperial scholar. It's a pity that the last article was not liked by Bachelor Ouyang. Second, he was a little short of winning the Guoziyuan."

Li said: "Mother of this man knows that his literary talent is very good, but he has a reputation for being romantic, he likes to have sex with prostitutes, and he stays in brothels."

Wu Anshi said: "Mother, the matter of courting prostitutes... is a little bit inappropriate, but how can you lose the righteousness because of trivial matters? What's more, although he is happy, he is not hindered by his homework. His talent is well-deserved No. [-] in the Imperial Academy."

"It's a big disadvantage to be a prostitute. You can know the autumn by looking at a leaf. How did your father teach you brothers? If the family style of the three generations of our Wu family is not right, the family will also be ruined." Li reprimanded.

Wu Anshi lowered her head and muttered in a low voice, it turns out that Shi Qi learned his temper of scolding others from you.Those who didn't know thought you were mother and daughter.

"What about this person?"

Li Shi suddenly pointed to a young man and said.

Wu Anshi followed Li Shi's gaze, but seeing the young man following Zhang Heng, he was a little cautious in front of Wu Chong.

"This person looks like Seventeen in terms of age!" Li Shi said.

"Mother, this is Zhang Yue. He is a third-year student in his family. He was supposed to take the Nine Classics exam, but he was persuaded by Li Zhidao. Now he has changed to Jinshi. I don't know how sure it is."

"Oh? You said he didn't come from Jinshi before?"

Wu Anshi said: "Exactly, fifty young Jinshi, Zhang Sanlang is not yet 15 years old, if he really wants to be a Jinshi, he doesn't know when he will wait..."

At this time, Mrs. Li smiled and said, "Why can't you wait? I think this one is pretty good."

Wu Anshi couldn't help being surprised, how could Mrs. Li fall in love with Zhang Yue.

If Liu Ji and Zhang Yue were to choose together, it must be Liu Ji.

Wu Anshi thought to herself, could it be that her mother didn't want Seventeen to marry a good man so that she could outshine her sisters in the future, so she tried her best to arrange a poor marriage for him.
