Chapter 113: The Wandering Boy of the Old Days
Yan Shu looked at Xu Ping, didn't speak for a long time, and finally nodded solemnly: "Excellent!" ”
Yan Shu knew Xu Ping very early, when Xu Ping was still in white clothes, because of Shi Yannian's relationship, Zhang Zhibai introduced him to Yan Shu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's a pity that Yan Shu has a very bad impression of Xu Ping, and has always thought that he is a young man who does not learn and has no skills in a rich businessman. Later, Xu Ping High School made meritorious contributions to Lingnan, and this initial impression has not completely changed.
can only blame Xu Ping's reputation, and the two have not been officials in the same dynasty for much time, and they have little contact.
As a native of Kaifeng, Xu Ping's bad deeds when he was a teenager are known to everyone, and they can't hide it. It's just that some people are familiar with Xu Ping later, but they just think it's nonsense when they are young and ignorant, and they don't take it to heart. But Yan Shu is obviously not like this, in his impression, Xu Ping has not gotten rid of the previous shadow.
Yan Shu was a young man, and he served as a high-ranking official in the court for many years, but his political achievements were mediocre, and he had no merits. However, he likes to push the way forward, and he has a good eye, and almost half of the promising middle-level officials in the court are out of his door. For example, Fan Zhongyan returned to Chaosheng to be systematized, and Yan Shu contributed a lot, but Xu Ping couldn't catch this bus.
Before their careers, there were many people who were willful and messing around, such as Zhang Yong, a famous minister of the Taizong Dynasty, Liu Kai, a famous minister of the Zhenzong Dynasty, and Liu Xin, the salt and iron judge under Xu Ping, who was now a judge of salt and iron, and they were also rumored to be beautiful after they became famous. Xu Ping is nothing compared to these people when he was a child, he has never robbed a folk girl, he has never killed anyone, but he likes to mess around in Goolan Tiles, fight horses and dogs, and sometimes gamble for money. According to the historical records of later generations, it is just that when he was a teenager, he liked to be chivalrous, traveled with his youth in Luli, studied at fifteen folds, went to high school in one fell swoop, and eventually became a generation of famous ministers.
Unlucky, unlucky, when Xu Ping and Yan Shu met, Yan Shu inquired afterwards, Prime Minister Zhang Zhibai actually introduced an unsuccessful young man to know him, and that impression made him really remember.
Seeing that Yan Shu, who has always been blue-eyed for backward late learners, cherished words like gold this time, but gave Xu Ping a two-word comment of "excellent", Ding Du on the side couldn't help but feel surprised.
There is a reason why Lao Chen doesn't like Xu Ping, these people always see the shadow of Ding Wei back then, and the shadow left by Ding Wei is too big. No one in the court dared to mention this name, pretending that no one had ever existed in the world, but as soon as there was a stir in Daozhou, I don't know how many people were terrified. The queen mother died, the emperor was in power, and he was unable to move a step to the Central Plains several times in amnesty, which was also affected by Xu Ping. If it weren't for such a small Ding Wei, maybe he would be allowed to return to the Central Plains to retire.
Like to do things, good at doing things, and not afraid of hard work, every detail in all aspects is taken into account, and often don't have a chance. Once the time comes, start ruthlessly, Xu Ping and Ding Wei are almost exactly the same in this regard. It's just that Xu Ping is not like Ding Wei to make friends with the powerful and greet him, but the problem is that Xu Ping has the emperor as the backstage, so he doesn't need to do this.
What can reassure the ministers a little is that Xu Ping does not plant a private party, does not engage in personal gain, and no matter what he does, he can clearly see that he has no selfish intentions. However, once Xu Ping takes the throne, who knows? After Ding Wei's downfall, there were a few unlucky people who didn't follow him, such as Kou Ying, but they relied on Xu Ping to stand up.
Now Ding Wei has nothing, and even his henchmen are scattered, but in the hearts of many people, even if this person just rides a donkey into Beijing alone, he can turn the sky of the Great Song Dynasty upside down. This kind of character, it is enough to meet one in a lifetime, and no one wants to deal with another one.
Xu Ping is really not as good as Ding Wei, but he is a literary talent. Ding Wei's earliest development was based on articles, the text chased Han Liu, the poem is like Du Fu, and the world's evaluation is unparalleled. Although Xu Ping is also a first-class jinshi, he has always given the impression that poetry is not his strength, and it is one thing that there are no good articles to circulate, and it is also one thing to subconsciously distinguish him from Ding Wei.
Now although Xu Ping is sick and recuperating at home, his reputation is prosperous, and he is regarded as a loyal and upright minister from top to bottom. Suddenly, there were two lines of poetry, and it was really good, and the two bachelors felt a little strange in their hearts.
Ding Du coughed and made a round: "'Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Yan returns', this is indeed a good pair!" Mr. Yan has another good word, congratulations! Ha, by the way, this door in front of you is the place where watermelons are grown? ”
It is rare for Xu Ping to remember this sentence of Yan Shu's masterpiece, and when he uses it at this time, he is also a little complacent, waiting for the two to praise a few words. I didn't expect to hit a haha, and that's over? If you have the ability, you won't need it in the future!
Coming back to his senses, Xu Ping led the way first and replied, "Yes, there is a watermelon field outside." Nearby are the sediment that was silted up by the Yellow River many years ago, which is suitable for growing melons. Two Bachelors, please—"
The subordinate opened the door, Xu Ping led the way first, and went outside the door together.
Leaning against the door is a melon shed, next to a few loofahs and gourds, all climbed to the shed, and the long melons hang down along the edge of the shed, revealing a strong pastoral style.
Standing in the melon shed and looking out, I saw that all I could see was a watermelon field, like a green blanket on the ground. From time to time, a large round watermelon is exposed, which is very gratifying.
"It turns out that the watermelon looks like this, but I have only heard people say it before, but I have never seen it."
Ding Du said as he approached and bent down to look.
With this melon shed as the boundary, the right side is planted according to the method of the current Khitan. Low ridges, melon seeds on the ridges, natural growth during the term, no pinching, melons and vines are horizontal, and how many melons can be produced. On the left, it was planted according to the method that Xu Ping remembered in his previous life, and it was planted on the ridge, but after the melon button grown, the heart of the seedling was pinched, and only two melons were left on the melon seedling. As for the grafted seedlings, they are on both sides.
Yan Shu stepped forward and looked at the appearance of the watermelon in the field with Ding Du, and saw the difference between the two sides at a glance.
Turned around and asked Xu Ping: "Xu waits for the system, why are the melons on both sides different?" The melons here are bigger, but there are fewer melons on the seedlings, and the opposite is true over there, are they different seeds? ”
"Back to the bachelor, the seeds are the same, but the planting method is different. The side with less melons is that after the watermelon flowers have bloomed, two good melons are left as appropriate, and the others are removed. Moreover, the top of the seedlings is also pinched off, so that the branches and leaves will not be grown and nutrients will be consumed. On the other hand, they did not do this, and they followed the usual method of planting melons. ”
Yan Shu nodded and said to Xu Ping: "In agricultural affairs, Xu Ping is really proficient in the system committee, and the Manchu Dynasty is inferior to you in civil and military affairs." ”
Ding Du said: "The melons on both sides are planted here, but they have their own philosophy. For example, in cultivating talents, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low in the millennium, whether to choose a particularly outstanding key point of cultivation, or to cast a wide net and catch less fish. ”
Yan Shu nodded silently and did not speak. Xu Ping gave him a key sentence, and after taking this journey, a new word has taken shape in his heart. Singing silently in my heart, I only feel that it is really the proud work of my life. Especially the couplet that Xu Ping came out of, it has a sense of finishing touch, and the artistic conception comes out all at once, which makes people have endless aftertaste. (To be continued.) )
