Chapter 137(2/2)
"What does it mean to be the best?" someone on the side asked.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "I didn't know it at the beginning. Later, when I was ranked number one, I stood in front of Ao Palace and received orders. Only then did I know what it means to be the best?"
Everyone laughed after hearing this.
Having said this, Zhang Heng patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder. Everyone thought that if they were biological brothers, the two would be somewhat similar.
"This is really a good story!" Everyone laughed.
Wang Guan smiled and said: "Okay, now Ziping is the number one scholar, Zihou is the prime minister of Kaifeng Prefecture, and his younger brother is the imperial student. I'm afraid he will be the crown prince of the country one day."
Everyone laughed again.
Zhang Yue said: "I don't dare to take it. I have little talent and little knowledge. How can I compare with the number one scholar and Brother Dun?"
At this time, Dan heard Zhang Dun say: "You are somewhat self-aware in what you say!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Liu Jidao said: "Everyone else protects others, but Brother Zihou is strict with relatives and lenient with strangers."
Everyone laughed at Liu Ji's kind cover.
Wang Guan smiled at Zhang Yue and said, "When a gentleman loves others, he encourages them to rebuke them. Therefore, my brother Hou's love is deep, so his rebuke is severe. Does Sanlang know that?"
Zhang Yue said: "The king said that love is deep and responsibility is deep, and this is the most reasonable thing. However, Chulong said that the Empress Dowager Zhao has a saying that if you love someone, you will have far-reaching plans. The more I hear this, the more I believe it!"
"The ministers said that the Empress Dowager Zhao was scolding the court angrily and getting angry. Why can't they solve it? Because strong admonishment is not a skill. Why can it be solved by touching the dragon? It's because she can be considerate of her temperament and make every sentence sensible and reasonable."
"When Chulong had not filled in the ravine, he entrusted Shu Qi to the Empress Dowager Zhao to mend the number of black clothes. The Empress Dowager Zhao was not willing to give up the lord of Chang'an to Qi, but she was also afraid that she would be respected but had no merit.
Qi, Chu Long, and the Empress Dowager Zhao all loved Ji Zi, so they had far-reaching plans. Yue lost his parents when he was young, and entered Taixue from Fujian. How could the bitterness, sweetness, and depth of it all be exhausted, so he always envied Shu Qi, Chang'an
Jun Ye."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Zhang Yue and nodded.
This is an extraordinary thing to say!
When Zhang Yue saw Zhang Dun being ridiculed by him with a gun and a stick, instead of showing any anger or shame on his face, he smiled with relief.
I don't know what I mean.
At this time, Zhang Heng said with a smile: "Sanlang said it well. I have heard that teaching by example is the highest, and teaching by words is the lowest. I have never heard of anyone who teaches me. Sanlang, I have been away from you for three days. I should look at you with admiration!"
When Zhang Heng said this, he couldn't help but glance at Zhang Dun and said with a smile: "Zihou, I once said that Sanlang will not be a thing in the pool in the future. Now you must believe it!"
"It's too early for Ziping to say this. If you look at it in a few years, you will know that it is no longer the case." Zhang Dun said calmly.
Just then, a servant came to say a few words to Wu Anshi.
Wu Anshi moved here and bowed to everyone: "I would also like to ask you all to move to the waterside pavilion for a tea break."
"Just right."
Everyone moved together.
"Sanlang, you and I are going together!" Zhang Heng grabbed Zhang Yue's hand enthusiastically.
When everyone saw that Zhang Heng, the number one scholar, treated Zhang Yue like this, they couldn't help but look at him even more highly.
Zhang Yue couldn't stand it anymore and said to Zhang Heng: "Zhaizhang, there is no need to be like this. I know you are angry with Brother Dun, but you will not be so angry with him."
Zhang Heng laughed and said, "You think that's why your second brother and I are so angry? You think I'm too petty. Although your second brother and I are not on good terms, there is one thing you have to be sensible about."
"You are from a side family of the Han family. Now that you have entered the capital, no one will recommend or support you. Who will think highly of you? Nowadays, in the capital, it is the custom for Confucian scholars to enjoy visiting the rich and powerful. They either worship paper and pen to gain fame, or invite people to gain influence.
I would like to support you with my recommendation."
"Let me ask you, do you want to contribute to literature posts in the hope of being praised? Or do you want to travel to the gates of wealth and wealth in the hope of being recommended?"
Zhang Yue said: "Now that I have arrived at the Wu family, am I not enjoying traveling to the gate of wealth?"
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "That's the case. You were invited by the Wu family, which shows that they value you. Have you ever thought about why the Wu family invited you to this banquet?"
Zhang Yue said: "I don't know."
Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "Of the five daughters of Prefect Wu, one is married to Ouyang, who is now a bachelor. The three are all married to the prime minister's palace. Now there is another daughter who is waiting to be married."
"I heard that Wu Taishou Zeng Yu did not intend to let this girl marry high, so he planned to recruit..."
Zhang Yue was surprised and said: "Recruiting someone to marry?"
Son-in-law, I know this story well! You won’t fall in love with me.
Zhang Heng looked Zhang Yue up and down with an expression that said, "You want it to be beautiful."
Zhang Heng said: "There are two husbands in the Wu family, so how can they recruit a son-in-law? If they do, they have to recruit a son-in-law."
Zhang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It would definitely not be my turn to recruit a son-in-law.
Zhang Heng said with a smile: "You must have a reason for Wu Mansion to invite you to the banquet. But I think coming to Wu Mansion is mostly just for hosting banquets. If Wu Mansion really wants to recruit a son-in-law, there will be many suitors, so it is not necessary
It's just a matter of one or two percent for me. But even if it's only one or two percent, my trip here is not in vain."
Zhang Yue was moved when he heard this and said: "So that's what the chief meant. I really want to thank the chief."
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Don't thank me. I haven't seen you for a long time. I took advantage of the opportunity to return to Beijing to pay my respects to my duties, so I just happened to come and take a look."
