This was the sixteenth day that Zhu Ping'an had come to Yingtian Prefecture. It happened to be a day off, so Zhu Ping'an had breakfast early and, accompanied by Liu Dadao, left the office of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Judicial Inspection Commissioner's Office and hurried to the Yingtian Prefecture Cultural Street.
"What's wrong with your son-in-law? Is he in trouble?!" The seductive woman Ruonan watched Zhu Ping'an hurriedly finish his breakfast and then hurried out. She couldn't help but stick out her little mouth at Hua'er and asked curiously.
"What's the matter? My son-in-law said he was going to look for someone..." Hua'er glared at the evil woman Ruonan and said angrily.
"Who are you looking for? A man or a woman? Seeing how anxious he is, it should be a woman..."
The seductive woman Ruonan held up her chin, pinched a slice of orange and put it between her red lips, speculating with a sense of evil interest.
"Ruonan! What are you talking about? My uncle is not that kind of person! The person my uncle is looking for is a man! A man!"
When Hua'er heard this, she immediately got angry and took away the fruit in front of the evil woman Ruonan. Humph, who told you to say bad things about your son-in-law.
"Hehe... If he says it's a man, then it's a man? Which man who's fooling around will tell you the truth?"
The enchantress Ruonan giggled and teased Huaer intentionally.
"My son-in-law is not that kind of person!" Hua'er pouted and glared at the enchanting girl Ruonan, then blushed and said in a mosquito-like voice, "If my son-in-law wants a woman, why does he need to go outside? I... I can..."
"Haha, how can domestic flowers smell as good as wild flowers? Haven't you heard that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as secretly having sex, and it is not as good as not being able to have sex at all..."
The evil woman Ruonan blinked and said sarcastically.
"My son-in-law is not that kind of person." Hua'er was not moved by the enchanting woman Ruonan and shook her head firmly.
"Your son-in-law is not as decent as you think! He is a sinister beast in monk's robes! He looks decent on the surface, but he is actually a dirty and filthy villain behind the scenes..."
The evil woman Ruonan gritted her teeth when she thought of what happened that night when Zhu Ping got her drunk and asked her to carry him on his back.
"Hmph, you just always slander my son-in-law without any reason!" Hua'er turned her head away and ignored the evil woman Ruonan.
"I..." The enchanting woman Ruonan never had the nerve to tell Huaer what happened that night...
While the demon girl Ruonan and Hua'er were bickering in the courtyard, Zhu Ping'an and Liu Dadao had already arrived at their destination, Wenhua Street. Wenhua Street is close to the east gate of Yingtian Prefecture, about a mile away from Dongshi Street. Most of the shops on the street sell books, pens, inkstones, calligraphy and paintings, and related derivatives. When you enter Wenhua Street, you can smell the rich fragrance of paper and ink.
"Shopkeeper, do you know where the Yizhitang private school is?" Zhu Ping'an came to a shop selling pens, ink, paper and inkstones and asked.
"Yizhitang Private School? I've never heard of a private school on the street." The shopkeeper thought hard and shook his head.
"Please think about it again, boss. The private school teacher's name is Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang." Zhu Ping'an bowed.
Yes. Zhu Ping'an came here to look for Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang.
Actually, it was a coincidence. Before leaving the government office yesterday, Zhu Ping'an went to the toilet and found half a piece of calligraphy and painting in the toilet paper slot. At first, Zhu Ping'an did not take it seriously, as it was used to wipe his butt. This calligraphy and painting must have no value. It was probably a doodle by someone in the government office when he was bored. Otherwise, how could it be used as toilet paper
However, just when Zhu Ping'an solved his personal problem and was about to get up, he noticed the seal on the half-broken painting out of the corner of his eye - "Shanyin Buyi". His eyes suddenly widened and he felt as if he was struck by lightning.
Shanyin Commoner, Shanyin Commoner... This is the pen name used by the famous Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang.
Zhu Ping'an has done a lot of research on Xu Wei in modern times and knows him very well. Xu Wei, a Han Chinese, was born in Shanyin, Shaoxing Prefecture. His original courtesy name was Wenqing, and later changed to Wenchang. He was also known as Qingteng Lao Ren, Qingteng Daoist, Tianchi Sheng, Tianchi Shanren, Tianchi Yuyin, Jinlei, Jinhui Shanren, Shanyin Buyi, Baiyan Shanren, Ebi Shannong, Tiandanshui... Shanyin Buyi was a pseudonym Xu Wei took after his hometown Shanyin and his repeated failures in the imperial examinations.
There are many people in history who can be described as "highly talented", such as Cao Zhi, Li Bai, Su Shi, etc. If we list them all, we can make a long list. However, if there is anyone who can be described as "highly talented" and also as a "military strategist", "calligrapher and painter", "literary man", "dramatist" or "educator", I am afraid that only Xu Wei, Xu Wenchang, can be recorded in this world.
Needless to say, he was a writer, calligrapher and painter. He was worthy of the title of dramatist. He created the drama collection "Four-tone Monkey", which deeply influenced the drama creation of later generations. Tang Xianzu once said: "Four-tone Monkey is a flying general in the field of poetry. I often sing it several times. How can I be born with a long literary talent and pull out my tongue!" ". Xu Wei was also worthy of the title of military strategist. In his middle age, he served as Hu Zongxian's staff, offering advice and suggestions, making plans, and repeatedly coming up with ingenious plans to assist Hu Zongxian in luring the pirates Wang Zhi, Xu Hai and others to surrender, and made immortal contributions to eliminating the Japanese pirates; in his later years, he carefully cultivated the famous general Li Rusong, enabling him to establish immortal achievements. In this way, can he be worthy of the title of military strategist
Stephen Chow's movie "Flirting Scholar" features four great talents from Jiangnan, Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing. In fact, these are only the four great talents of Wuzhong at that time. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were three "three great talents" in public opinion, namely Xie Jin, Yang Shen and Xu Wei. Compared with Xu Wei, Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan were much inferior in talent. One was a national champion and the other was a regional champion, and the gap was obvious.
Zhu Ping'an had actually thought about visiting Xu Wei a long time ago. When he was in Jingnan, he was not allowed to leave the country without permission due to his status as a county official, so he had no chance to visit Xu Wei. After arriving in Yingtian Prefecture, he knew that Xu Wei was in his hometown of Shaoxing because he knew history. Yingtian is about 600 to 700 kilometers away from Shaoxing, which was not a short distance in ancient times. If he wanted to visit Xu Wei in Shaoxing, he had to set aside several days.
Zhu Ping'an only had one day off, and during this period he was busy requesting food and wages and raising funds for military preparations, so he did not have enough time. Zhu Ping'an originally planned to ask for a few days' leave from the Minister of Justice after all matters were arranged, and then go to Shaoxing to visit Xu Wei.
I didn't expect to see Xu Wei's calligraphy and paintings in the toilet, and the signature dates on the calligraphy and paintings were several days ago.
This means that Xu Wei was in Yingtian Prefecture during this period.
Zhu Ping'an was so excited that he walked out of the toilet with the half-broken calligraphy and painting. After asking around in the government office, he learned from Chu Xiong that the calligraphy and painting was given to him by a man he met on Wenhua Street the day before who claimed to run a private school called "Yizhitang". The purpose of his meeting was to promote his private school and get people to send their children to study there.
Just like a flyer.
That's why Chuxiong didn't cherish it, just used it to wipe his butt, and even complained that the paper was too hard...
You fat wasteful bastard!
If this calligraphy and painting is passed down to future generations, it will be a priceless treasure... ... Zhu Pingan wants to hit someone... ...
