At the sound of the door curtain, a man wearing a green Confucian robe and a light green belt entered with his head held high. It was Zhang Feng's teacher Lu Zhi. There was another person following behind. His eyes were not big, but it was unforgettable. His eyes were bright and his face was thin.
It was this man who clapped his hands and praised him just now.
"Why is Zigan here?" Zhang Wen and Huang Wan hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
"This is Runan Pingyu, and so is Xu Shao. Today, I accidentally met you, so I hurriedly introduced you to each other.”
Xu Shao was a man of great reputation and integrity when he was young. He liked human relations and was appreciated by many. Like Fan Zizhao and Yang Shi, they are famous in the world "(The Book of the Later Han Dynasty). It was recorded in history that this person had world-renowned achievements in character evaluation. The most typical example was when Cao Cao was born into a eunuch family due to his family background. His father, Cao Song, was the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Jie, so many people looked down on him. At that time, Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao,"You're not famous yet, go and meet Xu Shao." Cao Cao listened to his words and ran to Runan to find Xu Shao. He asked him,"Look at me, what kind of person am I?" Xu Shao didn't want to say it at first (Was he afraid of being punished by heaven?)），Cao Cao found an opportunity to threaten him with a weapon. Are you going to tell him or not? Xu Shao was probably the kind of person who was afraid of death the more famous he was, so he told him,"Jun Qingping is a traitor and a hero in troubled times.”Therefore, everyone in the world knew the name of Cao Cao.
Moreover, he and his brother had started a " monthly review ", which specialized in evaluating people. At that time, the people they evaluated were quite accurate, so everyone in the court respected them. They were famous people who could not be invited.
Later on, people started to criticize Xu Shao, saying that his character was bad and that he had been against his brother since he was young. Moreover, he could only criticize others but never reflect on himself. However, there was one thing that was beyond doubt, and that was that he definitely had a way of evaluating people.
Zhang Wen and Huang Wan quickly went down the steps to welcome him, and ordered the best tea cakes to be served. After they finished their greetings, Xu Shao kept staring at Zhang Feng. His eyes were so piercing that they could pierce through people's souls. Zhang Feng only felt that people with such sharp eyes would not bully him.
"What is this little brother's name?" Xu Shao only greeted the others lightly, but he was very interested in Zhang Feng.
"This is my son, his name is Zuo Feng.”Of course, Zhang Wen felt that his son was very good, but in front of others, especially Xu Shao, who was like a half-immortal at that time, he didn't dare to praise him.
"Yes, this kid has clear eyes, a wide mouth and square ears. He should be a loyal and kind person, but he has a thick nose and thick eyebrows. Heaven is full, when the blessing, salary and longevity are complete. However, his cheekbones were slightly sunken and he didn't seem to have any ambition. Otherwise, he would have been able to improve further. If you use these four words to evaluate him, he should be unparalleled in the world. No one I have seen can surpass him.”
Xu Shao's words hit Zhang Feng's heart. Only then did he truly believe that the person in front of him could really see through a person with just a pair of eyes. He also felt that he had a good heart, but he would not be bullied. He also wanted to change the trend of the Han Dynasty, but he did not want to sit on the throne that everyone chased after.
In his own words, sleeping until he woke up naturally and counting money until his hands cramped was a very high level of life. What about the high and mighty throne? Even taking a step out of the palace was a luxury, and it would be said by the ministers that he was not interested in political affairs and was only interested in playing. Facing the headache of political affairs, military affairs, the covetous eyes of powerful enemies around him, and the troublesome days where he had to worry about the cost of every needle and thread in the palace, Zhang Feng was afraid just thinking about it.
Zhang Wen and Huang Wan were both happy and worried when they heard this. Of course, she was happy that Xu Shao said Zhang Feng was extraordinary, but she was worried that he had been killing all his life…Huang Wan was secretly considering whether she should agree to this marriage.
But fortunately, since Xu Shao said that he had good fortune and longevity, it was probably not a lie. Huang Wan made up her mind. In the future, the Huang family would rely on Zhang Feng, who was still unclear.
Cai Yan saw that everyone's attention had all turned to Zhang Feng, but she could not be happy no matter what. She pouted and was angry.
Xu Shao glanced at Cai Yan and shook his head,"Although this young lady is beautiful, she is unfortunately not blessed. She will face a great disaster at the age of sixteen. If she has the help of a noble, she can avoid this disaster.”
When Cai Yan heard this, he was shocked and afraid. At that time, people believed in the theory of ghosts and gods, not to mention that this was said by Xu Shao. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his body turned cold.
Huang Wan and Cai Yong were good friends, so she quickly bowed to Xu Shao and said,""I dare to ask Mister Xu to cast a rescue spell.”
Xu Shao laughed loudly." Since the person who saved you is in front of you, why should you give up the near and seek the far?"”So he stood up and took his leave.
Cai Yan thought, could it be that he had to rely on this little thief who had repeatedly bullied him? She thought about how he always criticized her as useless and secretly sized up Oriole with shifty eyes, but he was cold and indifferent to her as if he looked down on her. The prideful thoughts in her heart arose spontaneously again, and the thought of asking him for help faded away.
After Xu Shao left, Huang Wan and Zhang Wen finally got down to business. They exchanged their birth characters and invited a matchmaker to make the decision. They also sent the betrothal gifts that they had prepared. It sounded simple, but it took a few more days. Huang Ying 'er was considered half a daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
It was just that the heavens were unpredictable. Whether they could marry or not was decided by the heavens.
From that day on, Zhang Feng became famous. When he walked by, people would point at him and say that this was the Zhang Feng that Xu Shao had personally evaluated. This Qiao Xuan wasn't the same Qiao Xuan that Qiao Mu's father was, but rather, Doctor Guanglu, a famous scholar who had the reputation of discerning people. If so…hehe), the Yuan brothers, and He Jin, who later became the Great General, all came to visit him one by one. They took this opportunity to see Zhang Feng, who had recently risen to prominence.
Zhang Feng was extremely annoyed by the hypocritical politeness in this world. Not to mention that he had to bow and bow when he saw someone, he might even have to kneel when he saw someone with deeper roots. Other than Lu Zhi and his parents, Zhang Feng did not give face to anyone else.
There was nothing much to say, but the host and guest had to talk for a few hours once they sat down. At that time, the kneeling ceremony was a hard job for Zhang Feng, and he was the target of others, so he could not sneak away. In just a few days, his knees were red and swollen. When he secretly met Huang Ying 'er, he tricked the kind and soft-hearted little girl to wipe away a few tears.
On this day, Yuan Kui and his brother, Yuan Feng, who was the father of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, brought Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to visit Zhang Wen. With this, the Grand Tutor, Grand Marshal, and Sikong, the three dukes of the Eastern Han, were all gathered together.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Four Heroes of the Yuan Sect would come to my humble abode together today. This old man is extremely honored.”Zhang Wen opened the doors of the mansion, and the servants and servants on both sides of the mansion were lined up to welcome the Yuan family.
"Lord Grand Commandant, I've heard that your son's reputation has risen recently. Since it's convenient today, I came uninvited. I hope Lord Grand Commandant will reward me with a meal.”Yuan Kui was more steady, while Yuan Feng was smiling like a good old man. The two brothers had different personalities.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were old acquaintances with Zhang Feng, so they didn't need to greet him. Yuan Shao smiled, while Yuan Shu winked at Zhang Feng. No matter what, he preferred this little brother who made his elder brother suffer, even if it was just a verbal thing.
After the ceremony, Zhang Wen led the way around the parapet and walked past the noisy pond in summer. The lotus leaves were round and the fish were playing in the pond. The pink lotus flower was in full bloom, smiling shyly at the few people who were nominally the most powerful in the Han Dynasty.
"Looking at your son's brows, he is indeed outstanding and extraordinary. I heard that the world says that he will be 'unparalleled in the world'.”Although Yuan Feng had been sizing up Zhang Feng and felt that he was indeed a dragon and tiger, he did not agree with Xu Shao's evaluation in his heart. Could he be stronger than my two sons?
Yuan Kui only said a few polite words and did not comment on Zhang Feng at all. A righteous person would disdain to criticize others, not to mention that Zhang Feng was only a ten-year-old child.
Yuan Shao was the one who felt the most uncomfortable. When he was young, most of his family members respected Yuan Shu more than he did, which made him unhappy. In addition, he was teased by Zhang Feng last time. Although he said "it's okay", he couldn't forget it in his heart. He felt that he was a handsome man, so how could he not be better than this five-foot-tall child? However, he still had to put on a facade. He smiled kindly and did not show any dissatisfaction in his eyes.
When he entered the living room, he saw that all the seats used for kneeling had been removed. Instead, there were four legs, a square shape, and an object with a solid wood back. There was a large cauldron in the middle, and sandalwood incense was burning inside. The entire hall was filled with fragrance. Coupled with the faint ink fragrance, it made people feel relaxed and happy.
"What is this?" Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng asked at the same time.
At the mention of this, Zhang Wen couldn't hide his smile. The love and pride he had for Zhang Feng seemed to fill up the creases on his face."This is my son Lian, I couldn't stand sitting for too long, so I ordered someone to make it. It's called a 'chair.' The chair is covered with felt, animal skin, and other things.”
Yuan Si sat down curiously. It was stable and he could lean on his back. It was indeed much more comfortable than sitting. His legs were not always pressed down by his body, causing the blood circulation to be blocked and numb. Shuang Yuan and Zhang Wen were both elderly people, so they were amazed by the chair.
Yuan Shao couldn't help but reveal a trace of fear on his face, and his butt also kept twisting around as if it was crawling with a little bug. Yuan Feng was very pleased with himself. He narrowed his triangular eyes and curled his moustache."Hmph, do you think you can be called unparalleled by knowing some strange and obscene techniques? As expected, all the rumors about Zhang Feng were false. It should be known that a real man is born in the world, should make contributions, seek fame, is the right way, other things are not worth mentioning.”He secretly resolved to let his two sons work hard in order to get a high position. At that time, he would see what kind of unparalleled method this Zhang Feng who liked to go down the cheap path would have. Could it be that he had built a wooden house to "build" the world? At the thought of this, his smug expression turned into flattery, trying to suffocate Zhang Wen, who was smiling from ear to ear.
