Chapter 103: Lonely Cloud Fang
Yao Hua, Tan Yaohua, it sounds like a word difference, isn't he?
It's a pity that Du Yuanpu hasn't seen Tan Yaohua either: "I heard that this son is very talented, and when he just turned twelve years old, Tan Guoshi said in front of outsiders that only this grandson can pass on his mantle in the future." However, he traveled abroad all year round and rarely appeared in Beijing. ”
"It seems that the Tan family is extremely protective of him." Li Cao sighed.
"I also heard that with his attainments, he can't learn anything in Xuanyin Pavilion, and except for Tan Guoshi, there is probably no one in the world who can teach him."
Wen Sheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he heard this, not sure if it was Tan Yaohua, even if it was, he would probably not be in Beijing at this time.
But apart from him, the other people of the Tan family, Wen Sheng, really didn't dare to have any hope, they didn't know each other, and suddenly came to the door to ask for help, with her current status, she knew that there would be no good results.
"Mr. Du, do you know, how can you find him?"
Wen Sheng asked casually, he didn't have much hope, but Du Yuanpu and Li Cao glanced at each other, and said: "This is a good time now, at the beginning of next month, Xuanyin Pavilion will openly select apprentices, which has a wide impact, and it is a major event for my Daliang. Thinking about this, Tan Yaohua should not be an exception, and should go back to Beijing to have a look. ”
Wen Sheng settled down a little and asked Li Caodao: "The record is also because of this?" ”
Li Cao smiled: "Not bad. At that time, I went to see the excitement with Yuan Puhui, and the general was in Baizhou, and he also issued a letter of recommendation for several local talents. I don't know if I can be selected in the end. ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Wen Sheng and felt a slight regret in his heart, he knew that there would be such a day. It is better to ask Wen Sheng to wait for this year, this selection is not limited to men and women, the conditions are very lenient, so many civilian children come to the election together, Wen Sheng is inconspicuous in it, and he will not offend that Feng Songchuan in vain.
Wen Sheng felt that it didn't matter, she only cared about what to do to save the two old people as soon as possible.
"General Ji is okay in Baizhou. I've heard that the war doesn't seem to be going well. "The battle situation in the East China Sea once made Qi Qin worried, but it depends on what the two cronies of Ji Nantang in front of him should do. talked and laughed, and didn't seem to be worried about Ji Nantang at all, and Wen Sheng felt that there might be a hidden secret.
Sure enough, Li Cao smiled when he heard this, and said to Du Yuanpu: "Miss Gu is not an outsider. I don't think I need to hide the general's situation from her. lest she be worried. ”
Du Yuanpu briefly told Wen Sheng about the reason.
At the end of last year, Ji Nantang was trapped on Haimen Island, and finally returned defeated, receiving many criticisms.
In contrast, Zhu Ziliang, the commander of Feiyunjiang, who also suffered defeat, lost face even more, and the consequences were more severe, did not set off any storms, and even Emperor Jianzhao issued an order to comfort him and cheer him up. It is necessary to defend the Feiyun River and revitalize the prestige of the Great Liang.
According to the current dynasty, Lord Sima Fu Liang Ji Fu said privately. Ji Nantang is burdened by fame, he is called a victorious general, and he should win the battle, once he misses, he will be proud and underestimate the enemy, and he will be famous, anyway, how the world praised you before, how will he scold you now.
And because of the prestige of the Ji family's army, there are really a lot of jealousy in the DPRK, and now the Dongyi people have a big leader, and they are attacking the East China Sea defense line of the girder like locusts, and Ji Nantang alone is really difficult to support.
Fu Liangji is Ji Nantang's mentor, the minister of the second grade, worried that Ji Nantang's life will become more and more difficult if he goes on like this, so he asked him to pick up a few inconsequential battles and lose a few games first, exaggerating the defeat, anyway, with him pressing, the court has no generals to change, and after a long time, there will naturally be fewer eyes staring at Ji Nantang.
In this way, Taoguang can cultivate obscurity, and then it can also paralyze the Dongyi people, and wait until the critical time to establish immortality.
Wen Sheng couldn't help but be stunned after hearing these words, a generation of famous generals, not only to go into battle to kill the enemy, but also to deal with their own people's elbows and armpits so diligently, General Ji didn't know what to think in his heart.
Even if you don't feel desolate, you certainly won't be very happy.
"This Lord Fu ......" If Wen Sheng is not mistaken, this Lord Sima Fu of the current dynasty must be in his sixties this year, and his home is on Yingtai Street.
As soon as Ji Nantang came to prominence, he was appreciated by Fu Liangji, and he was strongly recommended to Emperor Jianzhao.
If it weren't for Ji Nantang's family who had betrothed him since he was a child, and there was a marriage contract at that time, Master Fu would even marry his most beloved little daughter to him.
Du Yuanpu got up and said, "What Miss Gu said is too big, I think we might as well go to Master Fu's mansion and talk to him, and ask for an idea by the way." ”
said that it was to ask for ideas, but in fact, he wanted Fu Liangji to come forward and help Wen Sheng find out that Yao Hua or Tan Yaohua.
Wen Sheng understood and hurriedly stood up: "It's tiring for the two of you to follow." ”
Li Cao said with a smile: "There is no need to be polite, there is no such thing, and we people must often go to Lord Fu's house to greet him, in case his old man has any orders, we can send them to the general in time." ”
Having said that, Wen Sheng knew that he had caused a lot of trouble to others.
It's just the huge Fengjing City, except for General Ji, she really has no one else to ask for.
The three of them came out of the house and stood in the courtyard, Du Yuanpu ordered the soldiers to prepare the car, Li Cao looked at the sky, and suddenly smiled: "The three of us are going here, it seems that we are going to eat in particular." ”
Du Yuanpu was reminded by him, raised his hand and patted his forehead: "Then you can't be empty-handed, I have to bring the jar of good wine." ”
Li Cao watched him busy with his work, and asked Wen Sheng with concern where he lived after coming to Beijing and whether he needed his help to arrange a place to live.
Because of the Xuanyin Pavilion at the beginning of next month, Fengjing is overcrowded at the moment, and Wen Sheng also noticed when he went to the street that all the inns of all sizes were full, if it weren't for Zhong Tianzheng, it would not be easy for a single female guest like Wen Sheng to find a place to live.
Wen Sheng thanked Li Cao for his kindness and said that he still had a place to live, because he had made an appointment to meet Yunlu, and he couldn't move.
Du Yuanpu cautiously moved the jar of wine back, and said with a smile: "I heard you say that Yunluyun Daxia is also a benevolent and righteous person, when he comes to Beijing, Miss Gu, you will definitely bring him here, let me get to know him later." ”
He held the wine jar in his arms, got into the carriage at the door, beckoned Wen Sheng to ride together, Li Cao rode beside him, and the group went to Yingtai Street.
The three of them planned very well, but when they arrived at the door of Lord Fu's house on Yingtai Street, they pounced on it, and Fu Liangji was not at home.
The housekeeper of Fu Mansion came out to greet him, saying that the adult was invited to Guyunfang at noon, and it was estimated that he would not come back until dinner, and he didn't know if he was drunk at this time.
Li Cao sighed twice and said, "The boss is really Yaxing." ”
Du Yuanpu asked who was going with him in the mansion, and the housekeeper said that the two young masters went with him.
Fu Liangji's two grandsons are called Fu Yong, the younger is called Fu Ming, the two brothers are not married, Du Yuanpu often comes, knowing that these two young people are usually idle, do not do serious things, and like to make friends with three religions and nine streams, imitate the words and deeds of musicians together, and be elegant.
It's just that Fu Liangji doesn't like his son, who is an official in the same dynasty, but he loves these two grandsons very much.
He went out to the banquet, stayed for most of the day, and brought two small ones, obviously not an important occasion, Wen Sheng's matter is very urgent, it is better to rush to Guyunfang at this time to have a look.
Du Yuanpu then smiled and said: "Otherwise, let's go over now, say hello to the boss, and disturb a banquet by the way." ”
Wen Sheng felt a little familiar when he heard the name of Guyunfang, and he only remembered for a while, Chen Mu confessed that he had met the Dongyi man surnamed Huang in this place, and then fell into a state of no return.
The "know-it-alls" didn't mention it, and they didn't know what Guyunfang was, couldn't it be a Qinlou Chu Pavilion?
Li Cao obviously also thought of Chen Mu, and said with a smile: "I still think that something happened last year, Guyunfang will be implicated for a while, in the end, the backstage is hard, the boss has hands and eyes, and there is nothing going on." ”
"It's also that there are too many magnates and musicians coming in and out. At this moment, there must be more people going. Du Yuanpu sighed.
After listening to the two of them chatting for a while, Wen Sheng suddenly became abrupt.
It turned out that this Lonely Cloud Fang was not what she thought, but an elegant place that both dignitaries and musicians and literati loved to go to.
At first, Guyunfang was just a huiwen hall, and the scale was not large, and it was specially built for the Mokesao people to gather three or five times to talk about literature and art.
But it is too good at choosing places, and not long after it opened, just one street away, the imperial court began to build the Xuanyin Pavilion with great fanfare.
When the Xuanyin Pavilion is built, a street should be demolished, and it should be flattened, and Guyunfang has become the closest leisure place to the Xuanyin Pavilion.
Because some musicians would go over to have a drink or two in their spare time, dignitaries and nobles followed suit, and went to Guyunfang to write poems and paintings, play the piano and blow the flute, which became a fashion in Fengjing for a while.
When I arrived at Guyunfang, it was dusk.
Wen Sheng stood at the entrance of the street, first looked at the opposite side of the long street, not far away is the world-famous Xuanyin Pavilion, there are soldiers guarding the street, the high wall blocks the eyes of outsiders, the sunset stretches the shadows of those buildings and halls very long, it looks particularly mysterious.
On this side of the long street, about half a mile away, there are many cars and horses, and people are buzzing.
After many expansions, five attics were built around the original hall, which were spread out in the shape of plum blossoms, the eaves in the middle were connected, the pavilions and platforms were connected, the beams and pillars were carved, and the steps were in it, often inadvertently at a glance, you would find the whimsy of the craftsman, and the real effort was not small.
Wen Sheng came back, Li Cao also rarely entered Beijing once a year, Du Yuanpu led the way in front of him with the wine jar, and asked the waiter first when he entered the door: "Where is Lord Sima Fu?" ”
The waiter was a young man with a delicate face, and when he saw Du Yuanpu and Li Cao's dress, he knew that the person who came was extraordinary, and responded humbly: "Master Fu is in the Yanxing Pavilion, and the younger one will bring three people in." ”
Wen Sheng and the three of them followed the waiter and walked inside, and suddenly heard someone not far in front of them greeting: "Oh, Lord Feng, you're here!" (To be continued......)
