Chapter 44: Provocation
"It seems that Xi Zhicai has revealed my information thoroughly enough." When he entered, Zhang Yu had already slowly figured it out.
In order to create fame for Zhang Yu, Xi Zhicai introduced his basic information to others clearly, so Wei Zhongdao would identify him as him, not other people with the same name and surname.
Zhang Yu was still sighing that he had just arrived in Luoyang, and he could actually meet Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, these two big guys, who were definitely the tyrants of the late Han Dynasty.
But Zhang Yu saw that Cao Cao was genuinely enthusiastic, and Yuan Shao was not even interested in greeting him.
A few people went in, there were already many people inside, and Zhang Yu and Ling Cao stood behind in a low-key manner.
After entering, many people took the initiative to make way for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Wei Zhongdao, and greeted each other one after another.
Wei Zhongdao tidied up his clothes, walked forward with his head held high, and accepted the envious eyes of everyone.
Wei Zhongdao has this capital, his family is definitely the top family of the Han Dynasty, the ancestor is the general Wei Qing, and the Wei family also has a Wei Zifu.
The Wei family is a top family today, with hundreds of years of deep-rooted development, and it is also one of the four major business families today, with strong strength.
Wei Zhongdao, as the successor of the Wei family, is of course qualified to be on an equal footing with Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao is not as good as him.
Wei Zhongdao walked and walked, turned around twice and looked at Zhang Yu provocatively, and told Zhang Yu whose home field this was.
The Wei family has a good relationship with Cai Yong, otherwise Cai Yong would not marry Cai Yan to him, and Wei Zhongdao is indeed talented and personable.
It's just that in Zhang Yu's opinion, Wei Zhongdao is just like that, if it weren't for Cai Yan, I'm afraid he would be a speck of dust in history, and there would be no trace of him in future generations.
There were already more than twenty young people inside, and Zhang Yu was not interested in getting to know him, so he was disturbed by Wei Zhongdao, so he simply stayed behind.
After a while, the three elders came, and everyone got up.
This meeting was set up in the open space in the courtyard of the Cai Mansion, and there was a gazebo inside, and there was an open space in front of the pavilion, and many tables and chairs were visited in the open space, as well as fruits and the like.
"Okay, good, the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, there are dragons and spirits, today there are two great Confucians and all the students coming, my Cai Mansion can be described as full of brilliance."
Cai Yong, as the host, made a simple opening remark and praised everyone.
At first, Wei Zhongdao was very happy in the front row, smiling, but when Cai Yong read out the poems of the Burrow, his face immediately stiffened, and then he turned his head to look at Zhang Yu again, his eyes were full of resentment.
Zhang Yu shrugged indifferently, he didn't expect that he would hurt Wei Zhongdao so much.
Then Cai Yong asked Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan to speak separately, and then the three of them took turns to talk about some scriptures, and then the three of them discussed together, which had a great sense of Taoism.
Everyone listened with relish, and Zhang Yu was the same, a master is a master, although it is profound, it can be understood.
Then there were questions from everyone, the three masters answered, everyone was very positive, and Wei Zhongdao also asked two in-depth questions, which were praised.
When Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan praised Wei Zhongdao, Wei Zhongdao glanced back at Zhang Yu again, and his smug look could not be concealed.
When everyone asked some questions, Cai Yong got up and said: "Let's be quiet first, everyone will have some works on weekdays, so it's better to take them out today, so that Zheng Gong and Lu Gong can judge it together." ”
Cai Yongyi said, everyone became lively, and Zhang Yu obviously felt that they were all excited.
Also, if your work can be praised by one of the three, you can immediately become famous.
If one of them can take a fancy to them and accept them as disciples, they can immediately rise to prominence.
So no one will miss such an opportunity.
Everyone knew that there would be this link, so they were all prepared, but Zhang Yu didn't understand it, and he was not prepared at all.
Cai Yong presided over the overall situation and asked them to come out one by one to read their works, most of which were poems, but also small essays and the like, and of course, there were also opinions on a certain passage and a certain scripture.
Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan both commented on them one by one, mostly affirming their works first, and then pointing out the shortcomings.
"Well, this poem by Wei Gongzi is quite good, quite meaningful." Lu Zhi nodded and said.
"Thank you Lu Gong for your compliment." Although Wei Zhongdao was very happy in his heart, he still maintained his demeanor on the surface.
"Haha, nephew Wei Xian, I heard that you have been working very hard lately, but you also have to take care of your body." Cai Yong had a very good impression of Wei Zhongdao, and he did not hesitate to praise him to make him stronger.
In this way, except for Zhang Yu and Ling Cao who did not show up to perform, everyone went through it again, Cai Yong saw that Zhang Yu and Ling Cao did not come out to read their works, so he naturally would not force it.
"Uncle, Gong Zheng, Gong Lu, and the little nephew have a proposal." Originally, when Cai Yong was about to announce the end, Wei Zhongdao came out and said.
"Oh, nephew Wei Xian, what do you propose?" Cai Yong was puzzled, but he felt that Wei Zhongdao had always been very steady and would definitely not do anything out of the ordinary, so he didn't stop or dislike it.
"Uncle, it's better for you to ask Zheng Gong and Lu Gong to write questions on the spot, and we will compose poems on the spot, so that we can test our level and let us realize our shortcomings, and the little nephew also knows that there is a handsome talent on the scene, who is quite respected by the three elders, so it is better to let him come out and make a poem on the spot." Wei Zhongdao said his advice.
Cai Yong frowned, it is very difficult to compose poems on the spot, making jokes, or not being able to do it, it will be embarrassing.
"Wei Xian's nephew's proposal is also acceptable, but the old man has a word first, no matter what he can't do or what level he can do, it doesn't matter, this doesn't mean that everyone has no talent to learn, but only to be superior in Minsi." Without waiting for Cai Yong to reply, Lu Zhi replied first.
Lu Zhi is a smart person, knowing that Cai Yong is embarrassed, and it is not good to refuse or agree, so he simply makes a decision for Cai Yong.
Cai Yong didn't agree, which embarrassed Wei Zhongdao, and agreed, if someone made a fool of himself on the spot, he wouldn't look good as the master.
"Okay, that's it, it's just that this Wei Xiaoyou just said that we respect the talented person, I don't know who it is?" Zheng Xuan continued.
Wei Zhongdao's gaze immediately swept towards Zhang Yu, and then he saluted Zhang Yu and said, "Three masters, this person is the author of the Burrow, Zhang Yu Zhang Zifan. ”
Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, and the three of them loved it very much, and when they heard that the author was in front of them, they naturally wanted to see what was going on.
Zhang Yu walked up, since others had already issued a challenge, he couldn't be intimidated.
"The junior Zhang Yu Zhang Zifan has seen three teachers."
The three of them were still very surprised to see Zhang Yu, because Zhang Yu was too young.
Originally, it was inconceivable to write this poem in their eyes that they were young people, but now they are so young that they know that the other party is less than eighteen at a glance.
The three of them were shocked, but they had doubts in their hearts, was "The Burrow" really written by this young and unseemly person in front of them?
