Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 140
Shen Peizhi said that this Renqiu behavior is weird, he does not shy away from wealth, but avoids official positions like a snake, this is not an incomprehensible contradiction in Shen Zhezi's view.

The so-called celebrities, in the eyes of later generations, should be the kind of people who despise the rich and powerful, despise the magnates, and even treat money like dung, but it is not the case.Wang Yan, a famous scholar who is so noble that he is ashamed of being called money, has never lost his desire to collect money, and there are even rumors of couples staying up all night at their desks to make plans.

There are many celebrities who can really achieve the ultimate, such as Wang Ni, who is ranked among the best in Jiangzuo.This person was born in a very humble family, originally from a military household, but he was extremely talented and interesting. When he lived in Luoyang, celebrities at that time were happy to associate with him.At that time, Wang Ni was raising pawns in the Hujun Mansion. In order to help him exempt from military registration, celebrities went to the Hujun Mansion together, and went straight to the stables for a feast, but did not visit the chief officer of the Hujun Mansion.

Because of this, the chief officer of the Guard's Mansion was alienated, and he did not dare to treat the sage harshly, so he simply released Wang Ni.This man was unrestrained, and even dared to directly refute Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, who was in power at the time. However, Sima Yue was not blamed because of his great name. Therefore, Wang Ni was treated more dignified and dignified in Luoyang.

The first half of the story is the anecdote of celebrities and nobles that people like to hear, but the style of painting has changed in the second half.

After the fall of Luoyang, Wang Ni fled to Jingzhou.At that time, Jingzhou Inspector Wang Cheng was Wang Yan's younger brother. He respected famous people, and he was able to treat Wang Ni so that he could live comfortably.

Later, Wang Cheng was killed by Wang Dun, and Wang Ni lost his benefactor and backing.He has no fixed place to live, and lacks food and clothing. During the day, he makes his son drive an ox cart to wander around the wilderness. At night, father and son sleep in the car hugging each other.When the food was cut off, the cattle were killed and the carts destroyed. When the beef was finished, both father and son died of starvation.

It is true that Wang Ni was born in a humble family in his life, but he was treated with courtesy by his ministers, and his integrity was not compromised until his death.But from another perspective, from his son's point of view, this young man has lived a hasty life, with no choice, no possibility of getting rid of his miserable fate, how desolate, how desperate!
In one's life, one should have pursuits and dreams, but before that, the most basic point is to assume the social obligations that one should undertake.Since there is no plan to start a family and buy a property, then take care of what is half a foot below your crotch, and don't give birth to a child and then do such harm!

Celebrities like Wang Ni have already entered the magic barrier, only seeing poetry and the distance, and don't remember the people and things around them at all, death is not a pity!

If it is said that its tragedy was caused by the troubled times, Huan Yi and Xie Kun, who are also Jiang Zuo Bada, know that the invitation to get a clear name is just a means, and there is no way to do nothing to survive in troubled times.This is not a question of moral integrity, but a question of wisdom and ability.

Ren Qiu also came from a lowly background. From his wife cutting off her hair to support the family, it can be seen that the family situation may not be much better than Wang Ni, but this person also knows that he is not a person who is obsessed with pursuing a flawless white jade. A person with a good reputation has a pragmatic side.However, since he has been recommended repeatedly but has not become an official, it can be seen that this person should have ambitions that are different from ordinary people.

A person like Ren Qiu who came from a poor family and has no background, once recommended by anyone as an official, is equivalent to becoming a protégé of the recommender, and his political career is closely related to this.Nowadays, the southerners are weak, and the overseas Chinese are respected in the imperial court.Even though this Ren Qiu has some reputation, it is only circulated in Wuzhong, how can he be recognized by overseas Chinese.As a Hanshu from the south like him, even if he can get an official position, he will only be looked down upon by others.

As for why Ren Qiu was so enthusiastic about him, Shen Zhezi understood the reason after a little thought.At present, his father Shen Chong can be said to be the only high-ranking official with real power among the southerners. This time, the Shen family was able to choose the emperor's son-in-law again.For Ren Qiu, who is pragmatic and willing to make contributions, the Shen family is naturally the first choice.

For such a person, Shen Zhezi is willing to accept, and he does not object to the behavior of putting on fame and fame as a promotion.As long as this Ren Qiu really has the ability to do things, he is willing to help.Even if the other party does not have Qian Feng's talent and conspiracy ability, it is a good choice to help him create and maintain a circle of celebrities with his long-sleeved and skillful communication skills.

Regarding this plan, Shen Zhezi did not hide anything from Shen Peizhi, and said with a smile: "In the future, my family will also make large-scale construction projects and build a garden villa, so as to make it a place for the virtuous and famous in the capital to relax. Uncle, you are my family's unshakable choice to preside over this matter. If you have a lot of friends like Ren Qiu, you should be kind to win over and give preferential treatment."

Hearing this, Shen Peizhi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Zhezi, is what you said true?"

"How dare I fool my uncle with nonsense. During this period of time, when my uncle goes to other houses for banquets, he can pay attention to the beauty of the layout of the villas in other homes. Only by learning from others can he stand out. As for Zhang's Hermit Garden, although it is interesting in nature, Not a permanent residence."

Shen Zhezi said with a smile, although the reputation and influence of this Jiayin Garden is not low, its style is too niche.If it weren't for the Zhang family of Wu Jun who is the number one Qingwang Gaomen in Wuzhong, this place is just an abandoned garden in the eyes of others, how could it attract people to stop.

After all, Wu Xing's Shen family is a newcomer. Compared with the Zhang family's flattery, it is difficult to catch up with them. If they want to run such a circle of celebrities, they will naturally have to work hard in other areas.Building a beautiful garden villa is only the first step, and it will also be a big attraction when he becomes the emperor's son-in-law in the future.

It is indeed necessary to create a circle of celebrities. If the Shen family had such a voice tool, they would not have to put on a show when they were criticized this time, and they could deal with it calmly.

For that scene, Shen Zhezi rehearsed at home for several days, destroying more than ten ox carts alone, and barely cultivated the hand feeling.But there was an accident during the actual performance, because Shen Peizhi got into the car suddenly, the little maid Gua Er was slightly shifted, and the back shoulder was really grazed by the iron rod, and she suffered serious injuries, and she is still recuperating.

In the future, there will be no shortage of such fights without sword light, so controlling public opinion has become an urgent matter for the Shen family.He has already communicated with his father about this idea, and Shen Chong also agrees.There's nothing he can do if he doesn't agree, he's no longer the one in charge of the family's money, and to bribe the King of Xiyang, he has to embezzle Shen Zhezi's small treasury.

Shen Peizhi was also very excited when he heard that Shen Zhezi had given his support.

Previously, he had been instructed by Shen Zhezi, and he finally became a well-known gossip celebrity as he wished, but after his wish was fulfilled, he couldn't help but feel a little empty in his heart.Fame is just vain. After all, he has a family and has to face the problem of supporting his family. He often relies on his clan to help him, and his children will always be looked down upon in the future.

But Shen Zhezi's plan solved the dilemma in his heart. If he can host such a garden villa, he can not only not harm his own interest, but also have a family and a career to rely on. It is really a good thing to have the best of both worlds.

"Zhezi, I, I really... well, I will do my best to gain Zhezi's trust!"

Shen Pei was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Shen Zhezi smiled and waved his hands and said, "Family, why bother to talk about this. Uncle has elegant ambitions, I will show it for you, and my family can benefit from it. Please don't blame me for being pragmatic."

"how come!"

Shen Peizhi shook his head quickly, and walked into the bamboo building with Shen Zhezi, and then told Shen Zhezi in more detail about the Wuzhong hermit who often stays in the hermit garden.

In addition to Zhang's master and Zhai Zhuang who came not long ago, Shen Peizhi has visited dozens of people, but Shen Zhezi has no impression of them. There is only one Jingzhou Xi Fangzhi who has heard of it. This is because the Xi family is a powerful family in Jingzhou , is similar to the Shen family's family background, but because Jingzhou is divided into important towns in Shaanxi, and the army is assembled, the Shen family does not have such a pivotal position in Wuhui.

Shen Zhezi was not surprised by this. In addition to official histories, later generations learned about famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, most of them can be glimpsed from biographies such as "Biography of Celebrities" and "Shishuoxinyu". The writers are all overseas Chinese. Naturally, Wu people's hermits would not exaggerate and praise them.And the Shen family was originally a noble family, so Shen Zhezi naturally didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with these people, so he was a little unfamiliar.However, listening to the surnames of these people, most of them can be connected with various families in Wuzhong, which shows that their backgrounds are not low.

After this detailed description, Shen Zhezi also had a general impression of these hermits in the hidden garden.Seeing that it was getting late, he went out of the bamboo building with Shen Peizhi and went to Ren Qiu's residence in the hermit garden.

Ren Qiu entered the hidden garden earlier than Shen Peizhi, so his residence is already quite large, a two-storey bamboo and wood building, and weeds are cleared to plant flowers and trees, which is not as simple as Shen Peizhi's bamboo building.

When Shen Zhezi arrived, he saw that there were already people sitting cross-legged on the porch. Several square wooden tables were filled with fresh fruits and vegetables. The colors were bright red or emerald, and there were still some water stains left on the surface after washing.Several quaint animal-shaped copper stoves have been lit for warming wine and meals.There are still some bamboo mats and bamboo tables placed under the corridor, which can be taken by anyone who comes. Apart from this, there is no more arrangement.

This kind of atmosphere makes Shen Zhezi miss the cold dinner party of later generations, and it also fits the overall style of this hidden garden, which is simple and not luxurious.

Seeing Shen Peizhi and Shen Zhezi coming hand in hand, Ren Qiu greeted Shen Zhezi with a smile, and said to Shen Zhezi: "Your Excellency is used to enjoying wealth and honor. You must have never seen such a simple and simple meal, right?"

"It's so indifferent, it's really interesting. I'm a vulgar person, this time it's really eye-opening and refreshing." Shen Zhezi replied.

"The customs in this garden are simple because they are simple. Those who are willing to stay here are old people who cannot be disturbed by human affairs. Zhezi Langjun is a rare and handsome talent in Wuzhong. If he has such a lazy interest, it is not beautiful."

Ren Qiu said with a smile, his tone did not lower, and he did not shy away from being heard.As for the few people in the corridor who heard this, they didn't think it was disobedient, they just pointed at Ren Qiu and scolded with a smile: "This son is annoying, because I waited for him to eat, and then he spoke ill at each other." It can be seen that they are familiar with each other and informal.

Another old man came from a layman holding a bamboo stick, and when he heard Ren Qiu's words, he looked at Shen Zhezi with great interest, and said in a slightly gentle tone: "You are Ji Siyuan's disciple, the son of Shen Jiaer who he boasted as Wu Zhongqiongbao? "

Shen Zhezi turned around and looked at the old man, Shen Peizhi quickly introduced: "This one is Xin'an Dinggong, a good friend of Ji Guo in old times."

Hearing this, Shen Zhezi remembered Shen Peizhi's earlier introduction.The old man's name is Ding Wei. Sun Lang, the son of Sun Jian of the old Wu, was forced by Sun Quan to change his mother's surname to Ding's because of a crime. He moved south and settled in Xin'an County.It used to be Emperor Zong, so it is quite famous in Wuzhong.
