Hello, this is Songxi Lake Academy, nice to meet you.
Just imagine this scenario.
You were born into a rich and noble family, and you have eaten and drunk all your life,
Do you choose to lie flat or struggle?
Today's protagonist is faced with such a choice.
Money plays his role
Qian Weiyan, Zi Xisheng, from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Minister and literary scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, a backbone poet of the "Western Kunti", and the brother-in-law of Liu Mei, the brother of Empress Liu E, Zhang Xian.
Enjoys reading
Qian Wei was the seventh son of Qian Li, the king of Zhongyi of the Qin state. But unlike most of his children, he himself has no hobbies.
But people, you always have to have a little hobby. In this regard, he said this: "I only like to read books in my life, read scripture and history when I sit, read various miscellaneous notes while lying in bed, and read dictionaries and small orders when I go to the toilet. In my life, I also wrote many articles on the three, that is, immediately, on the pillow, and on the toilet. ”
For officials
Qian Weiyan respected the literati and Moke very much, and when he was serving as the envoy in Luoyang, Xie Wei and Ouyang Xiu served in Luoyang, and the two agreed to climb Song Mountain to play.
Ancient times are not like modern times, but there is no weather forecast. When the two arrived at the dragon gate, it was snowing, how should they go back now?
When I was worried, I saw someone riding a horse and stepping on the snow not far away.
It turned out to be a person sent by Qian Weiyan, and the messenger passed on a message for him: "Climbing the mountain is hard, the two of you can stay on the mountain for a while, the official affairs in the house are simple, so there is no need to rush back."
Lo and behold, this is not only respect for the literati, but also meticulous concern for subordinates, who can not be moved?
Later, Ouyang Xiu summed up the "three uppers" of reading time, that is, immediately, on the toilet, and on the pillow, I am afraid that most of them also remembered Qian Weiyan's friendship in their hearts.
But if you simply think that Qian Wei is so simple in the officialdom, then you are too simple.
At the beginning, Qian Weiyan saw that Ding was powerful, so he attached himself to him and even married his daughter to his son.
Ding said to squeeze out Kou Zhun, so Qian Weiyan also squeezed out, calling Kou Zhun "reverse quasi".
After Ding's crime was exposed, Qian Weiyan was afraid of being implicated, so he turned to squeeze Ding out in order to seek immunity.
To say that he is a literary scholar, he should be a little bit of a wind, why is he so attached to Xijin in the officialdom?
I'm afraid it is also related to his family lineage.
When he was eleven years old, his father was sixty years old, drank the wine given by the emperor, and then died.
Perhaps because of this incident, he has been insecure, so he coerces for power and backs the mountains to gain security.
Govern the family
As mentioned earlier, he was born rich, but he had no bad habits.
Similarly, he was so frugal and strict in his laws that his children could not receive his pocket money until the prescribed date.
So the kids came up with a trick.
Hide Qian Weiyan's most cherished coral pen in his life.
Regarding this pen style, Qian Weiyan even wrote a poem specifically, which shows that he regards it as a treasure.
The cherished thing was gone, and Qian Weixian was naturally anxious, so he posted a notice for finding the object and offered a reward of ten thousand dollars.
In this way, the children have to deliberately wait another day or two, pretending to find it and give it to him. When he was happy, he paid all the ten thousand dollars.
