Almighty Appraiser

Chapter 497
""Hualing Tie"?"

Yuan Dongliang seemed to be caressing a newborn baby, brushing his fingers over the paper very lightly, for fear of leaving regrets on the yellowed paper.

"Wei Jin Langya Wang's Wang Rong works, think about it, what impression do you have of this person?" Shen Yunfeng sat up, unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of water.

"This guy should be one of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove." Yuan Dongliang said with a smile.

Shen Yunfeng glanced at him and said, "I said this just now, think about it again."

"It seems to be the youngest one, and the official is relatively older." Yuan Dongliang rubbed his face and looked at Shen Yunfeng.

"It seems that I have left something for myself." Shen Yunfeng chuckled.

Yuan Dongliang looked at "Hua Ling Tie" fondly. Although he couldn't describe the characteristics of Wang Rong's calligraphy, he felt particularly wild and unruly in his eyes.

In the ear, Shen Yunfeng said slowly: "There were many madmen in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and there were too many contradictions in that period, truth and hypocrisy, romance and nothingness, chic and snobbery, aloofness and greed."

"Many people say that if anyone can bring all these contradictions together, it must be Wang Rong."

Yuan Dongliang gently put down the "Hua Ling Tie" and let himself lie comfortably on the sofa, his face was full of joy and excitement.

Shen Yunfeng continued: "Fat man, as you just said, Wang Rong is the youngest among the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, but he is also praised as the most unexpected one by the world. Why? He is not as bright as Ji Kang. Matsushita Feng is not like Ruan Ji or Liu Ling who are drunk and heartbroken. He is a person who is tainted with vulgarity. Even the other six of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest look down on Wang Rong and make fun of him from time to time. .”

Yuan Dongliang said hehe: "Since you don't like him, why do you still form a group with him, between games and mountains, forests and waterside pavilions?"

Shen Yunfeng clapped his hands and said, "Fatty, I want to give you a thumbs up for your wording and sentence making."

Yuan Dongliang chuckled, and waved his hand generously, indicating no need.

Shen Yunfeng sighed and said: "Because of the shadow of his family, Wang Rong's official career is quite smooth, and he even ranks among the third officials and worships Situ, but he is such a rich and wealthy son, but in real life, he is a proper one. stingy person."

"When my nephew gets married, he is given a plainclothes, and he has to come back when he is done. When the daughter gets married and returns home, she never says a word about when to return the dowry when she eats. I never give a good face."

"It's even said that he sells his own plums, worrying that others will get his own good seeds, so he takes the trouble to drill every core."

"In the middle of the night, I pulled my wife up from the warm bed, and the two of them took out the account books to calculate how much money the family had. They were a complete miser."

"This is a bit too much." Yuan Dongliang drank his saliva and muttered.

"So, Ruan Ji, Ji Kang, Shan Tao, Liu Ling and others also disliked Wang Rong as a philistine, saying that he is a vulgar person. When drinking together, if Wang Rong came later, Ruan Ji would scornfully say, 'you Vulgar things come to spoil our interest again.'."

"If I had turned around and left, everyone would have said so, and I would have drank some wool."

Yuan Dongliang frowned and said.

"Wang Rong doesn't do this. He just smiles and sits down to drink together." Shen Yunfeng continued, "The history books of the Wei and Jin Dynasties describe Wang Rong's greed for money to the extreme. Four of these stories are written about Wang Rong, so one can imagine what kind of a 'strange person' this guy is."

Yuan Dongliang touched his bald head and said: "You just said that he was a Situ, so he must have made a lot of money."

Shen Yunfeng shook his head and said: "On the contrary, Wang Rong has been an official all his life, no matter he was granted the title of Marquis of Zhenling Ting, or he was appointed as a subordinate by General Sima Zhao, he was tired of being the governor of Yuzhou, General Jianwei, until the Jin Dynasty. After its establishment, he successively served as Shizhong, Guangluxun, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Taizi Taifu, Zhongshuling, Shangshu Zuopushe, etc. Even if he was promoted to Situ and ranked among the three princes, he never corrupted a penny of public money."

"So when people comment on Wang Rong, they say that his stinginess is for everyone. His greed for money is indeed done in a reasonable way and he does not take advantage of the public. This is due to the arrogance in his bones."

Yuan Dongliang said "Oh?", seemingly surprised.

Shen Yunfeng looked at Yuan Dongliang with a smile, and said: "Pei Kai, who is known as the 'Master of the Chinese Dynasty', described Wang Rong's eyes as bright as lightning under the rock', fat man, you must know that the pursuit of nature by Wei and Jin celebrities has reached its peak, the so-called Chunyueliu and Matsushita Feng, but those who have a touch of nature will definitely be paired with the most romantic and suave characters, and Pei Kai’s description of Wang Rong as lightning under the rock is enough to confirm this person’s chic and elegant image.”

"Lightning under the rock!" Yuan Dongliang played with taste.

Shen Yunfeng smiled and said: "There is another extremely romantic idiom, which is also related to Wang Rong. Fatty, do you want to hear it?"

In an instant, Yuan Dongliang felt as if his whole body had been electrified, rubbing his hands and saying yes, yes, come quickly.

"Wang Rong's love is also enviable. People in later generations say that his wife Wang Shi, because she understands Wang Rong, will accompany him time and time again in those money-greeding scenes that outsiders see as absurd. As a wife, She knows what kind of person Wang Rong is."

"Wang also never called Wang Rong 'Jun', but used to call him 'Qing' softly. After Wang Rong corrected him a few times, he saw that it didn't work, so he let her go."

"So, Qingqingwowo, which is often used to describe the relationship between children in later generations, actually comes from Wang Rong's wife's words, relatives, relatives, are Qingqing, I am not Qingqing, whoever is Qingqing."

"It has personality, I like it, hahahaha" Yuan Dongliang slapped his thigh and laughed.

"Wang Rong puts too much emphasis on love, whether it is family affection, love, or friendship. This is not only the commonality of scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but also the embodiment of Wang Rong's true temperament."

When Yuan Dongliang heard this, he also tasted a little taste, and said with a smile: "Wang Rong seems to be a combination of contradictions. I think it should have a lot to do with the era he lived in."

Shen Yunfeng nodded and said, "Tell me your reason."

Yuan Dongliang seriously analyzed: "During the Wei and Jin Dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, dynasties changed, and blood flowed everywhere every time. Especially Wei and Jin itself can be regarded as a murderous era, with frequent changes of families and bureaucrats. The Xie family is even more powerful, and the emperor's incompetence and incompetence can only allow famous people like the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove to protect themselves and their families by performing unrestrained behavior."
