Since ancient times, talented people have been born in the Red Chamber

Chapter 411 Your old eyes are not dim but short-sighted (Part [-])
Chapter 408

The reconstruction project of toilets in the Imperial Palace has come to an end. There are only three toilets that have not yet started. It is estimated that the whole project will be completed in midsummer.

This made Wang Yang very appreciative. After all, all the people who have used the remodeled toilets agree with it.In particular, all toilets in the palace use flush toilets.

Since the renovation work of the entire palace is coming to an end, in the past in the palace, there was always a strong smell around the huts, especially in the hot summer, it was really unbearable.

Not to mention countless flies, mosquitoes and other mosquitoes that are easy to spread diseases breed everywhere.But now, it is difficult to find a fly in the renovated toilet.It's not like in the past, there are at least a hundred flies singing Ode to Joy in one of the pits.

No matter who it is, when they hear such resonance, they will get goosebumps all over their bodies, and they can't wait to burn the whole hut with a torch to relieve their hatred.

But now, since each toilet will be cleaned by a special eunuch, and the cement with excellent sealing performance and the flush toilet that prevents odor are used, the peculiar smell in the toilet is much worse than in the past. It's too light, and people with a slightly blocked nose can't smell a trace of peculiar smell at all.

Moreover, the workers who came to pick up the excrement in the past were far more relaxed than in the past. They worked directly at the sewage outlet behind the toilet, which would not affect the people who were using the toilet at all.

Just as Wang Yang was standing in front of the construction site to command Ruoding, another eunuch came and asked Wang Yang to meet the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao.

"Come on, sit down, Aijia has this year's new tea here, you can try it too..." Seeing Wang Yang's tall and strong figure appearing in front of him, Gao Taotao, who is admiring a calligraphy and painting in his spare time, looked at it After arriving at Wang Yang, he waved and said with a smile.

"Thank you for the tea." Wang Yang sat down after saluting, picked up the cup of tea foam water, and looked at the ginger slices floating on it. It was a very cordial feeling, especially when drinking tea, Wang Yang would think of Li Qingzhao, that cute and beautiful girl.

I'm afraid I haven't seen Miss Rabbit for half a month, and I don't know how she is, especially during this period of time, those stories about myself and this girl have been circulated in the street market, even in the cultural and official circles. Rumors about a cute and soft girl.

It made Wang Yang even more indignant on the surface, but secretly happy.No way, as a pure man, an outstanding literary youth, Wang Yang, who loves Chinese history and culture, of course hopes to have something with Li Qingzhao.

"Wang Qing, what are you thinking? You are holding a cup of tea in a daze." Gao Taotao has been observing the changes in Wang Yang's expression, seeing him holding a cup of tea, his expression fluctuating from joy to worry, he couldn't help but feel curious .

"I didn't expect that your Majesty would be so kind to Wei Chen. It really makes Wei Chen feel ashamed." Wang Yang quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and said to Gao Tao.

"The Ai family knows that you are a talented person, and also knows that you are still young. Young people are proud of their talents and have a strong heart. This is naturally not a bad thing. Not to mention you, it is Su Xueshi back then, so why not... " Gao Taotao couldn't help euphemistically, as if recalling Su Dongpo when he was young, he was also very talented and proud of his talents.

However, people like them do have a lot of capital to be proud of. In Gao Taotao's view, Wang Yang is not inferior to Su Dongpo back then, regardless of his talent or fame.

More importantly, Su Xueshi's talent is more displayed in the field of literature, and Wang Yang is not inferior in the field of literature, but he is more courageous than the old Su Xueshi. This is Gao Taotao's greatest achievement. Appreciate Wang Yang's place.

Therefore, it is not incomprehensible to fight against those officials, or even use violence occasionally, just like Su Dongpo today, when he was criticized so anxiously a few days ago, he still wanted to use his fists .

"However, you are an official of the court after all, so you still have to be somewhat measured. Otherwise, the Ai family will not be too biased towards you, do you understand?"

"Wei Chen understands. Don't worry, Madam, Wei Chen will not take the initiative to cause trouble." Wang Yang replied respectfully. After hearing Wang Yang's answer, Gao Taotao couldn't help but glare at this guy. This brat can't even speak. Forget to leave a way out for yourself.

Forget it, young man, Gao Taotao really couldn't believe it if he had no temper for a great talent who could write such a passionate "On Young China".

"By the way, the Ai family heard that Wang Qing has become a family of calligraphy at a young age. I wonder how much you know about Wang Youjun?"

Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and said immediately. "Wang Youjun was a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He was known as the "Sage of Calligraphy". One family, with a peaceful and natural style, euphemistic and subtle brushwork, elegant and handsome, and its representative work "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is known as the best running script in the world..."

"It's a pity that it is rumored that the original manuscript of "Lanting Preface" has disappeared since Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and only copies and facsimiles have been handed down to later generations."

Gao Taotao couldn't help but nodded with regret. "Yeah, it's a pity, the Ai family really likes Wang Youjun's calligraphy, but the original works are hard to come by, but there is a good thing here from the Ai family..."

After saying this, Gao Taotao raised his hand to signal, and two eunuchs came over and slowly unfolded a long scroll.

"This is the stele rubbing of the "Tao Te Ching" written by Wang Youjun in small regular script... Aijia is old and dim-sighted, and the small characters are really not very clear, so I order you to come here today, just to let you help Aijia to distinguish the authenticity ..." Gao Taotao stood up, leaned down, and narrowed his eyes when he was less than a foot away from the monument.

Wang Yang also wandered up to him and looked at it carefully. After a while, he nodded slowly. "Mother, this should be the authentic work of Wang Youjun, and the postscript of Chu Suiliang next to it should be written by Chu Suiliang himself."

"Because Xiu Suiliang's calligraphy is quite distinctive, the brushwork is like a painting of sand and ink clay, its strength is powerful, and its momentum is ancient... And this stele rubbing is very strong with Wang Youjun's brushstrokes, so it can be inferred that it should be the authentic one... "

After listening to Wang Yang's analysis, Gao Taotao, who had lowered his body and looked at it for a long time, finally straightened up slowly and smiled with satisfaction at Wang Yang.

"It's rare. At such an age, not only are you extremely talented, but even this kind of insight is extremely rare. It seems that the officials really saw you as a talent right."

Wang Yang touched his nose in embarrassment, well, being praised by the most powerful person in the Song Dynasty really made Wang Yang a little ashamed.

"Mistress, your eyes seem to be severely short-sighted, and your eyes are not good. Please pay more attention to rest, madam, and do eye exercises or something."

"Eye exercises?" Gao Taotao, who was rubbing the sore bridge of his nose with his hand, raised his head in shock.

"That's it, and then do this again, use a little force, let the finger massage place feel slightly sore, do each position for [-] times, after finishing, close your eyes and rest for a cup of tea, It will make the eyes very comfortable." Wang Yang said in a persuasive manner.
