Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 209 The First Sword Dance of the Tang Dynasty

It has been three days since the Lantern Festival Collection, but Cao Yi's deeds and lyrics have become more and more popular in Jiangning City, whether it is to redeem the first Oiran fish in Jiangning, or the four poems on the Lantern Festival Collection, which are distributed on any person, it can make this person instantly become a widely discussed topic in Jiangning City, not to mention that everything is now gathered on Cao Yi alone.

If the redemption of Yu Xuanji is still discussed in Jiangning City, the four lyrics even show signs of spreading to other state capitals, but Cao Yi doesn't care at all, and as usual, he doesn't feel that he has done anything extraordinary. Although in the eyes of others, he is indeed a very great talent, with the talent of immortals, but he himself knows where his talent comes from, if there is, then it is true, that is, he has a good memory and can memorize so many poems.

Cao Yi is not averse to copying poems, but he will not copy them indefinitely, these poems are placed in his own mind, just like strategic materials stored in the warehouse, if something happens in the future, he needs to use these poems, or seek some practical benefits for himself through these poems, and then take them out and use them. But if there is nothing to do in ordinary times, it is purely to add a little vanity to himself and satisfy his vanity, it is not interesting, and he himself feels that it is not necessary.

At this time, what interested Cao Yi even more was that Gongsun Yourou. Of course, Cao Yi is not interested in her person, but in the sword dance on her body, after all, the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie is famous in history, and Gongsun Yourou's surname is Gongsun, and she is very good at sword dance, judging from these two coincidences, she and Gongsun Auntie must have an unusual relationship.

As the first person known as the first person of Chang'an sword, Gongsun Auntie was the first dancer of the eight thousand dancers in the Tang Palace during the prosperous period of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. Moreover, on the basis of the traditional sword dance, many sword dances such as "Xihe Sword Weapon", "Sword Weapon Muddy", "General Pei Full House" and so on have been created.

The above deeds are not legends, but are and exist, because Gongsun Auntie's sword art is indeed associated with two cultural peaks in Chinese history, it is said that the grass saint Zhang Xu, is because of watching the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie, so he had an epiphany, and since then the calligraphy has made great progress, bold and exciting, and has achieved the peerless calligraphy of the dragon and snake.

When the poet Du Fu was a teenager, he also watched the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie, and was deeply impressed, so he wrote the poem "Watching Gongsun Auntie's Disciple Dance Sword Weapon" when he watched the sword dance of Gongsun Auntie's disciple Li Twelve Niang in his later years.

"In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun, who danced with a sword and moved in all directions. The spectators are depressed like mountains, and the heavens and the earth are low for a long time. Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, like a group of emperors

Long Xiang. Come like thunder to restrain anger, and let it be like the river and sea condensing the light. It is the true description of Gongsun Auntie by the poet.

In the previous life, Cao Yi admired Aunt Gongsun every time he read Du Fu's poem, and he really wanted to see the demeanor of Aunt Gongsun, after all, as a generation of strange women, it was indeed extraordinary to be able to occupy the title of the first sword dance in the prosperous era of Kaiyuan who was as strong as the Tang Dynasty.

After all, among her contemporaries, there is also a very powerful figure in sword dance, that is, General Pei Min Pei, who is known as the first swordsman in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the protagonist of the sword dance of "General Pei Full House" created by Gongsun Auntie, "He has fought three thousand miles in his life, and one sword has been a million divisions" describes him. His sword dance, Li Bai's poems, and Zhang Xu's cursive script are collectively known as the Three Uniques of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Bai once learned swords like him, and was respected by the world as the "Sword Saint"!

According to the record of "Du Yi Zhi", in the Kaiyuan period, Pei Min invited the painting saint Wu Daozi to make murals in Tiangong Temple because of the death of his mother. Wu Daozi once said that he hadn't painted for a long time, if Pei Min had to paint him, he would first let Pei Min's sword dance inspire the ideas and inspiration of painting, so at that time, Pei Min performed swordsmanship in front of more than 1,000 people, walking like a dragon, spinning left and right, and then he suddenly threw the long sword in his hand into the clouds and flew to more than 100 meters, and he stroked the scabbard below, and the flying sword that was thrown more than 100 meters high before fell like a thunderbolt, and fell into the scabbard with great accuracy, Wu Daozi After watching Pei Min's swordsmanship, Touched by the fierce momentum, he immediately painted a mural that was "spectacular for the world".

Judging from Pei Min's swordsmanship strength, Gongsun Auntie, who can rank first in the sword dance, will definitely not fall behind Pei Min in swordsmanship. Therefore, in Cao Yi's judgment, Aunt Gongsun must be the legendary generation of chivalrous women, with strong swordsmanship, unique in the Tang Dynasty, and it is very likely that she is the peerless master often written about in martial arts. Cao Yi's current idea is to find ways to get into a closer relationship with Gongsun Yourou. During the Lantern Festival, Cao Yi said that he would go to Nixia Tower to see Gongsun Yourou as soon as he was free in the future, not just a scene of words, but an idea he had for a long time.

However, Gongsun Yourou also said on the Yaji that she had already discovered that Cao Yi was very interested in her sword dance, so Cao Yi is currently hesitating, if she really went so attentively, would it cause Gongsun Yourou's disgust, after all, during the Oiran Competition, Gongsun Yourou was unwilling to reveal more relevant information to Cao Yi, and deliberately led the topic.

So Cao Yi couldn't figure out what to do, and even started the idea of arranging Gongsun Yourou to redeem himself beside him, of course, at present, he is just thinking about it, and he is also thinking about the follow-up impact of the real redemption.

He has already redeemed Yu Youwei, who is known as the first Oiran in Jiangning, if he now redeems himself to Gongsun Yourou, who is also the head of the eight major banks of Jiangning Qinglou, will it cause bad comments or discussions, he himself doesn't care about those false names, mainly Cao Yi

I am afraid that Lu Lao will misunderstand this, after all, the "Crane Rushing to the Sky" written by himself before has "Red Yicui" and "Endure the floating name, and change the shallow low singing." ".

The reason why Lu Lao was angry with himself and didn't let him enter the door a few years ago was because he wrote this poem, if he did the things written in the poem in less than a month now, he was afraid that it would cause Lu Lao's anger again, as for what the consequences would be, he didn't know, and he was not willing to try it at present.

However, Cao Yi recently asked the people around him because of this matter, and Red Sleeves naturally supported him with a smile, after all, no matter who Cao Yi ransomed or which woman she accepted into Cao's Mansion, she would always be the chief personal maid of Qingyun Pavilion, and she was Cao Yi's closest person, and as a maid, Red Sleeves was very clear about her positioning, as long as it was what the son loved, she loved it......

However, when Cao Yi consulted Yu Youwei, what he got was Yu Youwei's infinite resentful eyes and endless pitiful expression, and her expression was like a little lady who was ruthlessly abandoned. After all, in Yu Youwei's opinion, there is already such a flower-like self, how can she still think about the grandson Yourou of Nixia Tower, even if Cao Yi wants to eat the bowl and think about the pot, then you have to eat the bowl first, the key is that she hasn't eaten the bowl yet, and she is already thinking about bringing the Gongsun Yourou in the pot together, so Yu Youwei will be resentful.

Cao Yi couldn't stand Yu Youwei's expression later, and basically avoided her for the next two days, as for the ransom of Gongsun Yourou, he had to postpone it for a while. After all, as soon as the Lantern Festival is over, it means that the year is over, and there are still a lot of things waiting for Cao Yi to deal with and solve.

On the second day after the Lantern Festival, Cao Yi arranged for Tie Zhu to drive a carriage to pick up Sikong Ye and his sister, and it was also on this day that the Shen family finally sent a million silver in exchange for two letters in Yang Xingwen's hands. Of course, these two letters are not the key, all the Shen family wants is a promise that Cao Yi and the Yang family will no longer investigate Shen Yan's collusion with bandits to premeditate murder in the future.

Cao Yi once wanted to give 100,000 taels to Yang Xingwen from one million taels of silver, after all, the Yang family still played a greater role in this matter, but Yang Xingwen refused with words, and scolded Cao Yi for wanting him to be corrupt and bribe and cut off his career.

According to Yang Gong, if this matter is properly arranged, he will make efforts to move around in the capital again, then in the second half of this year, when his three-year term in Jiangning expires, he may move up again. Cao Yi naturally understood Yang Gong's intention of deliberately revealing this secret to himself, so he also smiled and congratulated Yang Pingping in advance on his progress and going to the next level.
