At the beginning, Qin Shi Huang traveled to my home

Chapter 983 Everyone’s Attention

"But Senior Zhang Heng, you are not particularly interested in fame, wealth, or official positions; you only want to pursue academic studies.

Maybe it was because I was young and frivolous at that time, or maybe I really didn’t care. "When you are young, your thoughts are always naive.

Zhang Heng smiled but said nothing. At that time, he was indeed young and frivolous, but he did not care that much about fame, wealth and power.

At that time, he just wanted to do what he wanted, and that was also right. He felt that he had not taken the wrong path. On the contrary, this path was the right one.

Now, he has all the fame, wealth and honor, and is doing what he likes to do. He feels that this is the best life can be.

Many people do things they don’t like to do, but they have to do them because they have no choice. They are already much luckier than many people, aren’t they?

Shen Kuo and Xu Xiake nodded, but Xu Xiake did not express his opinion because many people did not approve of his behavior.

What's the point of him wandering around instead of doing his job?

At the beginning, no one understood him, and he sometimes thought about letting it go. But later, when he saw the beautiful scenery, his eyes lit up again and again, and he felt that it was meaningful to do so.

Later, he was on the list, and many people knew him and recognized him. He felt that what he did became more meaningful.

He didn't just go and see, he would record down many, many beautiful scenes.

The ancestors in front of the sky curtain felt that Zhang Heng was a little pretentious, but he had the capital to be pretentious because he was really powerful and a genius.

So it's normal to pretend to be a genius.

Some people who claim to be geniuses feel that compared with Zhang Heng, they are not that good and do not have many skills. It seems that this is not enough and they need to learn more, otherwise they would be embarrassed to call themselves geniuses.

"Senior Zhang Heng, when you were 16 years old, you left your hometown and began traveling to study.

Senior Zhang Heng, you first visited famous scholars in the Sanfu area and read books from various schools of thought, and later went to Luoyang to enter the Imperial College.

Integrate what you have learned.

At this time, Mr. Zhang Heng was very fascinated by poetry and prose. You imitated Mr. Ban Gu's "Fu on the Two Capitals" and pondered every word and sentence.

After ten years, he finally created the most magnificent masterpiece of Han Fu, "Fu of the Two Capitals"!

Very good, very good, Senior Zhang Heng, you are a capable person. With such patience, you will succeed in everything you do." Li Wu gave him a thumbs up. Ten years, how many decades are there in a lifetime?

Moreover, Zhang Heng did not spend one or two years to write it. It took him ten years to write it. Such patience is unparalleled.

So those who are envious should not just envy others, but should also see how hard others work behind the scenes.

Anyway, she couldn't make any effort. She couldn't do it in ten years.

"I never thought that Senior Zhang Heng has spent so many years on it. It's amazing," Shen Kuo looked at Zhang Heng in disbelief. He really didn't know this. Of course he knew Senior Zhang Heng's "Fu of Western Capital" and "Fu of Eastern Capital".

I just never expected that it took the other party ten years to polish and write it.

Xu Xiake also imitated the immortal and gave a thumbs up in praise, saying that this was truly amazing.

Zhang Heng shook his head and said nothing. He felt that he was still not enough.

After listening to it, some of the ancestors in front of the sky curtain felt that Zhang Heng was just so-so, and it took him ten years to write it, while they could write it easily.

Some people also think that ten years is neither long nor short, and it is difficult to polish out good works, especially those that will be remembered for generations.

"Senior Zhang Heng, you were once recommended as a filial and honest official, but you refused to accept. The government summoned you several times but you refused to go.

It shows that you really don’t care about these things.”

He refused to go when summoned by the government and was a person who was indifferent to fame and fortune, and focused on his own affairs.

"However, in 99 AD, Senior Zhang Heng returned to Nanyang. The following year, you were summoned by Nanyang Governor Bao De to serve as the Chief Clerk of Nanyang, in charge of paperwork.

It’s not easy for you to refuse this, after all, you are from Nanyang, and you can refuse in other places.

Not long after, Emperor He of Han died and Empress Dowager Deng took power.

Bao De was transferred to be the Minister of Agriculture, and Senior Zhang Heng resigned from the position of Chief Clerk and devoted himself to studying.

Bao De recommended you, Senior Zhang Heng, to Empress Dowager Deng's brother Deng Zhi (zhi, fourth tone).

During this period, Senior Zhang Heng has achieved profound attainments in astronomy, yin and yang, and calendar calculation.

Deng Zhi admired you very much, Senior Zhang Heng, and summoned you many times, but you never responded.

But how could the court not use a talent like you?

In 111 AD, the court learned that you, Mr. Zhang Heng, were proficient in the art of martial arts, so the Empress Dowager Deng, who was in power, invited you to the court in an official carriage and appointed you as a palace attendant.

Now, Senior Zhang Heng, you have no choice but to refuse. You cannot refuse because Empress Dowager Deng will send someone to pick you up.

Hahaha, Senior Zhang Heng, what did you feel at that time?"

Zhang Heng pursed his lips. This was even harder to say, as he had no intention of becoming an official at that time.

"It's the center of everyone's attention," Zhang Heng said with an awkward smile.

He was the center of everyone's attention. There were many people watching him at the time, both familiar and unfamiliar people, all looking at him. He felt extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.

Seeing Zhang Heng's forced smile, they could already imagine the scene at that time. Not to mention, everyone's reaction to that scene was different.

Some people like it, while others just feel awkward and uncomfortable with so many people watching.

"Actually, just get used to it, just get used to it. In the future, you will encounter scenes like that, ahem, the center of public attention, from time to time, Senior Zhang Heng," Li Wu laughed unkindly, and then felt that he had gone too far, so he quickly covered his mouth, but still couldn't control his laughter, his shoulders shrugged, which was even more excessive, it would be better to just laugh out loud.

Zhang Heng looked at the little immortal speechlessly. The little immortal was really a man who loved to watch the fun. He was indeed the center of attention every day.

Ever since he first made the list, he has been the center of attention. In Nanyang, everyone knows him.

Fortunately, he is not going back to his hometown in Nanyang now, otherwise he would be watched by many people and he would not be able to bear it.

It's not just him, it's the same with those in the same dynasty. They are the center of attention every day. It's hard to describe that feeling.

"Ahem, well, there will definitely be no more after this. After all, people are just here to join in the fun for a while," Li Wu met Zhang Heng's resentful eyes, coughed awkwardly twice, and comforted him.

She also doesn't like being looked at like a monkey. That feeling makes her very uneasy.
