Datang: My Peerless Talent Has Been Exposed

Whether it is "Zhang Nuo's Anthology of Poetry", which has long been expensive in Luoyang and is regarded as a classic by countless literati, or "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is now handed down to every minister in the court, it is all from the hands of this little shopkeeper.

For Wei Zheng, who has always claimed to be a scholar, other things can be quibbled, but only this book and this poem cannot be quibbled. It is good, and it is useless to slander it. steelyard.

Therefore, Wei Zheng, who originally had a good impression and strong curiosity about the shopkeeper Xiao Zhang, became more interested in this colleague after watching the whole Zhuangzi like a horse watching flowers today.

Just as Zhang Nuo went downstairs, he saw Wei Zheng standing in the center of the living room.

But when it comes to first impressions, Wei Zheng gave Zhang Nuo the first impression that this person is so stubborn, whether it is the official uniform washed a little white, or the straight waist, or even the slightly frowned brows, Everything seems to tell others that this is a stubborn old man.

However, Zhang Nuo's first impression of Wei Zheng was very good. It has to be said that it is a top-level skill after all. Just feel comfortable.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and it was Wei Zheng who spoke first, cupped his hands and said,

"Master Zhang, Wei Zheng has taken the liberty to come here, and he still looks at Haihan!"

Zhang Nuo is not at all surprised that Wei Zheng called himself Master Zhang. After all, he is wearing an official uniform at the moment. After all, he is also a fifth-rank official. Although he has no real job, his rank is here, so he smiled and handed over requite,

"Your Majesty Wei, you are being polite, I am the one who has really admired your name for a long time!"

To be honest, although Zhang Nuo may not have a chance in this life or the next life, and he does not want to be a direct minister or admonisher, this does not prevent him from admiring Wei Zheng, a straight minister and admonisher who has really persisted for a lifetime.

This kind of person is walking a tightrope every day, either slandering people, or on the way to collect information about slandering people, and being able to smack people until they are famous in history is enough to show that Wei Zheng is amazing.

Although some people say that only Tang Taizong's magnanimity and mind can make an admonisher like Wei Zheng survive. No one would believe it.

Wei Zheng originally thought that Zhang Nuo was being polite, but who would have thought that Master Zhang's expression seemed to be very familiar with him, and Wei Zheng also saw a trace of respect in Zhang Nuo's eyes.

This is a bit rare, he Wei Zheng doesn't say he is the enemy of the world, but if he respects him and has a good relationship with him, there are really very few, but now this Master Zhang is quite friendly to him just after meeting him, this is After becoming an admonisher, Wei Zheng, who had tasted the warmth and coldness of people and the inconsistency of the world, felt a silent movement in his heart.

After seeing the ceremony, the two naturally had to talk. Zhang Nuo didn't receive guests in the living room, but led Wei Zheng to his own reception room on the first floor.

There is actually nothing special here, but the overall decoration style is actually a reception room for drinking tea and chatting. Zhang Nuo feels that Wei Zheng must have come prepared today.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Zhang Nuo rolled up his sleeves and started making tea, while Wei Zheng watched with great interest as Zhang Nuo began to fiddle with the whole set of tea sets. Today, it seems to be even more interesting!

Chapter 321

For Wei Zheng, making tea should be done by first grinding the tea leaves, and then adding various seasonings such as cinnamon, five spices, oil and other seasonings and putting them in it when cooking. But looking at Master Xiao Zhang's approach, why did he brew it directly with tea?

However, in this era, drinking tea is an extremely tasteful thing. Everyone who pursues the quality of life has his own unique understanding of the tea ceremony, and the taste of the brewed tea will be completely different.

Therefore, even if Zhang Nuo made it a little different from ordinary people, Wei Zheng didn't say much, but looked forward to it. This is one of the necessary social skills for literati in this era when they communicate in private.

Now that Mr. Xiao Zhang has such a good mood, Wei Zheng naturally can't stop him.

Zhang Nuo took the teapot, poured the clear and golden tea soup into the tea bowl in front of Wei Zheng, and made a gesture of invitation.

Wei Zheng nodded, picked up the tea bowl and drank it down in one gulp, aftertaste it in his mouth for a while, then frowned and swallowed it.

"The fragrance of tea is strong, but it's too monotonous. Why doesn't Master Zhang pair it with cardamom?"

Zhang Nuo smiled and shook his head,

"This tea is the real tea. Good tea with good water is the best way to rejuvenate the mind after all hardships. Adding other seasonings will not be beautiful!"

Zhang Nuo didn't explain much, just talked about this, and then talked about other things.

In fact, this is a normal situation. Think about it when you were young, when you drank tea for the first time, the first thing you felt was that this kind of bitter water is good to drink?

In fact, the same is true for the people of Tang Dynasty. They have long been used to putting oil and salt seasoning in tea soup, and cooking tea as soup. Now Zhang Nuo took out such a bland thing, they It's strange to get used to it.

This is like a southerner with a heavy taste who suddenly drank the noodle soup from the north for the first time. Although it is said that the original soup is the original food, it is actually just a bowl of clear water with no taste. It is called the original soup just because the noodles have been boiled. That's all.

This bowl of food is simply unacceptable heresy in the eyes of those southerners with strong tastes. They don't understand why northerners like this at all.

Now Wei Zheng is like this, he is used to that kind of tea soup that is heavy in oil and salt, and suddenly drinking this kind of bland tea is almost like drinking plain water.

Both Wei Zheng and Zhang Nuo skipped the discussion on tea culture in a tacit understanding, because these are obviously two different schools, and if they continue to talk, they will probably quarrel, which is a bit too unnecessary.

After chatting about the customs and anecdotes of various places, Wei Zheng finally asked the main topic of his past days.

"My lord Zhang, I don't know how this newspaper will work? Someone is trusted by His Majesty to take up the post of editor-in-chief of the newspaper, but the more I think about it, the more uncertain I am. I hope Lord Zhang will give me some advice!"

Zhang Nuo nodded. He thought Wei Zheng was doing something else today. He didn’t expect it to be this, but it’s also interesting to be the emperor. Let such a person be the editor-in-chief. Wouldn’t everyone be able to appreciate Wei Zheng’s speech in the future? What does it look like?

From Zhang Nuo's point of view, it would be really interesting once someone like Wei Zheng spreads the word in the newspaper, because things like this are not only the easiest to attract attention, but also the easiest to provoke disputes.

You started spraying here, and the person you scolded on the other side, in order not to be sprayed bloody, don't you have to write a battle essay to fight it?

Then the one who came and went again and again, didn't they just get angry?The melon-eating people on the side must be very happy to see it. The big bosses are scolding each other in the newspaper. Can ordinary people see this?

Therefore, when His Majesty put Wei Zheng in the newspaper office, he was really right.

However, because his own interests were involved, Zhang Nuo couldn't let Wei Zheng mess around, he had to make it clear to him.

"Master Wei, I do know something about the newspaper. It contains more than just one or two points. Listen to me carefully! This is the first..."

Then it was Zhang Nuo's class session. Wei Zheng just listened carefully at first, but he felt wrong after listening. Why are there so many details here?

Then I had to ask Zhang Nuo to borrow a pen and ink to start recording, and first recorded what Zhang Nuo said before, and then let Zhang Nuo continue to talk.

Zhang Nuo didn't dare to act recklessly at this moment. This wasn't chatting with that businessman, Lao Li. This was an official official, or Wei Zheng, who was famous in history. Come.

Zhang Nuo was almost racking his brains while recalling some characteristics of newspapers and magazines of later generations, while talking about it seriously, while Wei Zheng kept his head buried in recording, trying to record all the main points he heard.

He hasn't had time to think carefully about what Zhang Nuo said, but just by listening to it now, Wei Zheng can feel that Mr. Zhang has a clear understanding of the development of this newspaper. .

No wonder His Majesty admires him so much, he does not hesitate to conceal his identity to make friends. This is simply like those great sages who hide in the city.
