Chapter 148 Unexpected Disaster

Not to mention how Qi Heng got angry with Princess Pingning when he returned.

Xu Wenhui was also a little confused here.

He was on duty just now,

Suddenly a young eunuch said that the officials were looking for him.

Then he was taken to the side hall of Wende Hall.

The official Zhao Zhen was also there.

But he just bent over the desk writing and didn't speak.

When Xu Wenhui arrived, he didn’t say anything about not letting Xu Wenhui come over to watch, he just wrote on his own!

Xu Wenhui somewhat felt that Zhao Zhen was beating him up.

But what puzzles Xu Wenhui is that it seems that he didn’t do anything extraordinary!

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen finished writing this picture quickly.

Putting the pen aside, he looked up and saw Xu Wenhui, as if he had just seen him.

He smiled with some enthusiasm:

"Haha, when did Aiqing come here? Look at me. I'm so busy writing that I didn't pay attention!" He said and waved.

"Come on, Aiqing, take a look at these words of mine. I've heard that Aiqing was once a scholar.

He had also achieved fame before, so his level must have been extraordinary.

Come on, how about taking a look at my words? "

"How can a humble minister dare to criticize an official?" Although he said this, Xu Wenhui still took two steps forward and walked to Zhao Zhen.

Prepare to see what Zhao Zhen is talking about. After all, people at this time are more reserved. There are some things he doesn’t say directly.

Especially a big shot like Zhao Zhen, who likes to use metaphors such as poems and books!

Anyway, Xu Wenhui was certainly not specially called here to evaluate his calligraphy. There were so many civil servants in the court, but Xu Wenhui was not a military commander!

Xu Wenhui walked closer and took a closer look.

I saw that there were already many copybooks on the desk.

On the bright yellow scroll at the top, there is a sentence written vigorously,

"The water in the mountain spring is clear, but out of the mountain spring the water is turbid!"

The pen and ink are very new. It seems that Xu Wenhui just came here and wrote this sentence specially!

Xu Wenhui thought about the meaning of this poem written by Zhao Zhen and said with a smile:

"Oh? It's Du Shaoling's "Beauty"!"

Du Shaoling is also Du Fu,

The poem "Beauty" is not too famous among Du Fu's poems.

But there are also two sentences that are more familiar, that is,

'There is a peerless beauty who lives in a secluded valley! '

'But when you see new people smiling, you don't hear old people crying! '

These two sentences are catchy and their meaning is relatively easy to understand.

So the popularity is high!

But like this sentence, 'The water in the mountain spring is clear, but the water in the mountain spring is turbid! 'But I didn't hear much!

The superficial meaning is easy to understand. When the water was still flowing on the mountain, it was very clear.

After being baptized by mud and rocks after coming out of the mountain, it became turbid!

But actually this poem can be a metaphor for many things,

For example, 'qing' can also be used to describe a person's noble and clear quality, while 'turbid' can naturally mean a person's poor conduct!

For another example, this sentence can also be understood to mean that people's hearts are changeable after they have experienced too much!

Or encourage others to maintain good conduct after entering society and not to be infected with the bad habits of the market, etc.!

Hearing Xu Wenhui call out the source of the poem, Zhao Zhen also smiled and said, "Yes, although Du Shaoling's "Beauty" is not his masterpiece,

The contrast between Ping and Chi is not particularly neat, but I think it is well written! Especially this sentence, the water in the mountain spring is clear, and the water in the mountain spring is turbid! "

As he spoke, he pointed at the words 'clear' and 'turbid' on the scroll and sighed with emotion:

"I wonder who in this world can be truly pure, but they are just wandering between purity and turbidity!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, seeing Xu Wenhui deep in thought, he laughed again and said:

"Okay, let's talk about it for a long time. We won't discuss poetry anymore. My dear, look at how I write this word."

Xu Wenhui had no choice but to put away his vague thoughts and look at Zhao Zhen's calligraphy seriously.

To be honest,

Zhao Zhen's handwriting is indeed good, the writing is vigorous but not sharp, it is very full!

Xu Wenhui nodded and said:

"The word "Your Majesty" flows like clouds and flowing water, and the writing is like clouds of smoke! It is simple and unpretentious and embraces the world! I admire you very much!"

"Haha, I love you so much!"

Zhao Zhen laughed and looked very happy when he heard this.

As if he thought of something, he suddenly said:

"Actually, my word is just average. I heard that Mr. Sheng Hongsheng in Shangshutai is your future father-in-law?

His handwriting is much better than mine, and he has the style of Wang Youjun. His handwriting is majestic and majestic, like a dragon leaping over the Tianmen, a tiger crouching on the Phoenix Tower..."

Seeing Zhao Zhen praising Sheng Hong gushingly,

Xu Wenhui suddenly caught some thoughts. Since Zhao Zhen mentioned Sheng Hong,

Eighty percent of the reason why he was called over today was related to the Sheng family.

What happened to the Sheng family at this time? Xu Wenhui couldn't help but think about it.

He quickly frowned and thought of something in the original novel,

That is, after Sheng Changfeng failed the examination, he drank and fooled around with King Yan's retainers Qiu family and others, and even talked nonsense about establishing a heir.

It seems that he is supporting King Yan to inherit the throne!

When Xu Wenhui thought of this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart,

Could it be that that little brat Sheng Changfeng brought him along to brag?

That's why Zhao Zhen was jealous, so he used Du Fu's clear and dirty sentence to criticize himself!

Xu Wenhui was indeed right.

After Sheng Changfeng failed the exam yesterday, he was originally in a bad mood.

When I returned home, I was complained by Lin Sushuang and Mo Lan.

So I went to Fanlou and Qiu’s house to drink.

In his words, he not only praised King Yan, but also showed off Xu Wenhui, his prospective brother-in-law.

Xu Wenhui is in a critical position now, and the boy from the Qiu family is worried about making a meritorious service in front of King Yan.

Naturally, he also praised Sheng Changfeng, and made Sheng Changfeng so proud!

He even promised to discuss with Xu Wenhui the important matter of establishing an heir in the future!

Sheng Changfeng's words were heard by people from the Imperial City Department.

Not daring to neglect, he immediately passed the news to Zhao Zhen.

That's why this scene happened!

It's just the drunken words of a few dandy boys. In fact, Zhao Zhen doesn't particularly believe it.

After all, Xu Wenhui never socialized with King Yong or King Yan.

But Xu Wenhui's current position is very important, and he still has to play one or two.

That's why Zhao Zhen called Xu Wenhui over! He believes that Xu Wenhui will understand his intentions today!

Although Xu Wenhui now understood what Zhao Zhen meant,

But it's not easy to express it rashly and directly. After all, he shouldn't know about Sheng Changfeng at this time!

So I could only express my meaning in a roundabout way, following Zhao Zhen's words:

"Although Cousin Sheng is good at writing, from the perspective of Wei Chen, he is still far from His Majesty!

First of all, he has a bad temper.

I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes. My cousin Sheng is the most timid and cautious person.

As long as there are some outrageous things or remarks, he will not dare to participate!

Words are just like the person he is. If you say he has such a temperament, how can his words be free and easy? "
