Zhang Dai was born at the end of the Ming Dynasty, his ancestors have been officials for several generations, Shuxiang Mendi, the family of official eunuchs, a proper second generation of rich officials, and the family is particularly rich! Zhang Dai is the only seedling in the family, that is really spoiled in the sky from childhood, if you want the stars in the sky, you have to send someone to pick them!
Although Zhang Dai was intelligent and talented since childhood, he only passed the Xiucai examination and did not become an official in his life. Because he really couldn't adapt to the system of the imperial examination. He also doesn't care about the format content, he just wants to play freely, it's so cool. His father said angrily: If your boy does not work hard to obtain a meritorious name, he will give me back to inherit my hundreds of millions of family property!
Although the Zhang family is a big family with a deep foundation, our Grand Duke Zhang, ah, is stunned by his own strength, the five generations of family business have been defeated almost, but he is still comfortable. Zhang Dai, who grew up in the "free-range" education, has always been less interested in saving money to support his family, but he is definitely a first-class master in terms of playthings, sounds and colors, dogs and horses.
How good is Zhang Dai? This can be seen in his "Epitaph for Self", he said that he was "a young man, a very fond of prosperity, a good house, a good beautiful wife, a good child, a good fresh dress, a good food, a good horse, a good lantern, a good fireworks, a good pear garden, a good trumpet, a good antique, a good flower and bird, and a tea and orange abuse, a bookworm poetry demon." Anyone who could play at that time would be proficient in everything and play tricks. Let's take a few examples to see how Zhang Dai plays with flowers.
1. Drink tea. The quality of Zhang Dai's life is very high, full of a delicate boy. He is very particular about drinking water. The time and place of fetching water are related to the taste of the water, and for his picky tongue, there is really not much good water to drink. In the summer when he was 17 years old, he accidentally found his own heart-pounding water in a spring in the ancient well of the nunnery, and Zhang Dai was extremely excited, which was the best water I was looking for.
There is good water of course to make tea, Zhang Dai tinkered with it, added jasmine and milk to the tea, a popular internet celebrity tea drink was officially released, and he also gave the tea a fairly fashionable name - Lan Xue Tea! As soon as this tea was launched, it immediately spread all over the country, and all kinds of pirated Zhang Dai tea drinks on the market appeared in an endless stream, and Zhang Dai never pursued it. Alas, just play!
2. Zhang Dai suddenly became fascinated with cockfighting when he was 25 years old. So I organized a cockfighting club and contacted a group of "good chicken friends" every day to fight cocks. The key is that his cockfighting skills are superb and he has always been invincible.
Zhang Dai's second uncle is also a cockfighting master, but unfortunately the skills are not as good as people, the second uncle always carries antique calligraphy and paintings to make bets, comes to Zhang Dai to find Zhang Dai "a snow before shame", and always returns empty-handed. After the victory, Zhang Dai could only sigh: "How lonely it is to be invincible!" "Later, I was really bored, so I stopped playing."
3. Kick the ball. After Zhang Dai quit cockfighting, he became obsessed with football (then called Keju). Cheer up your favorite team every day and organize a fan support team! Later, the team he supported was really bad, always couldn't qualify, Zhang Dai was angry, Lao Tzu himself came! So I pulled a stick and my friend organized an amateur football team, sweating like rain every day, and playing football without sleeping or eating. It is said that the level of the team is quite unusual, comparable to that of a professional football team.
4. Play cards. Most of the first losers of the Ming Dynasty, gambling must be standard. Several cards circulating in society were tired of playing, so he designed various cards himself and created many rules. Pulled a group, love to play cards are inside. Bet every day in the dark, play a lot! Although he often loses money, Lao Tzu has money and doesn't care!
5. Singing. Zhang Dai is a senior ticket fan, not only watching and listening to the play, but also personally writing the script and personally putting on the costume. Late one night, Zhang Dai crossed the Golden Mountain Temple and stopped by the temple. Looking up at the moon, Zhang Dai suddenly remembered a play by Han Shizhong who retired the gold man. So on such a quiet night inside the Buddhist Gate, he ordered people to come to the main hall with gongs, drums and lanterns to sing, read, do, and play in person. A group of monks did not dare to stop it, not knowing whether this group of uninvited guests was a human or a ghost.
6. Hunting. Zhang Dai also likes to hunt. Naturally, there is a group of bold "hunters" who often play late in the wilderness, and there is no one to spend the night in the dark forest. Even if he found it, Zhang Daiyi introduced himself, "Hello, can you spend the night?" I am the founder and poet of LanXuecha, the prose everyone, the cockfighting genius, the gambling master, the hunting enthusiast Zhang Dai", the other party did not even open the door to refuse, "can't live so many people!" ”
7. Party. Zhang Dai often organizes various parties, invites fox friends to gather in his villa, and everyone tastes tea, drinks, gambles, listens to plays, chats about poetry, and of course, there are many beautiful women serving. Real villa boom.
As for good, good, this... Man! I don't write it here, it's easy to get involved in yellow!
Don't think that Zhang Dai is a loser, he must not learn no skills, in fact, Zhang Dai is a generation of prose everyone, a "Lake Pavilion to See Snow" has been passed down through the ages, and has become a frequent visitor to the middle and high school entrance examinations. Zhang Dai said: "Although I am a champion in the wind and current field, the leader of the stupid children, but I have always lived in my heart a literary and artistic youth! Such a playable, rich, and literary Zhang Dai, the thousands of girl fans at that time did not want, every time before going out, hugging, fans screamed, the same as the current emperor superstar.
After a long period of life as a loser, Zhang Dai finally destroyed the family foundation of the huge wealth! Truly realized "people are not dead, the money is spent!" Zhang Dai was indifferent, eating wild vegetables all day, wearing torn clothes, but also leisurely! I can live the most exquisite life, and I can also live the day of eating chaff vegetables, so free! Worthy of Zhang Dai!
In the end, Zhang Dai lived to be 92 years old, Kangxi twenty-one years, Zhang Dai completed the last work of his life, "Three Immortal Tuzan", a dashing and uninhibited talent who had wandered a lifetime, passed away.
