Chapter 2: The First Snow (Part 2)
"Erlang, so dignified, what are you competing with a big tree. A few more punches and you'll be able to knock the tree away! When I was full of depression and had nowhere to vent, I suddenly remembered a gentle voice in my ears.
"You don't ......." Wang Xun responded casually, wanting to tell the other party not to meddle in things. Suddenly felt that the voice was very familiar, and raised his head in a daze, and saw Bai Jingzhi pulling a beautiful middle-aged* beautiful woman in red, standing in front of her.
"Sister Bai, why are you here?" Wang Xun felt very embarrassed, smiled and greeted the other party in a low voice.
"Tell me more!" Bai Jingzhi's maidservant Xiaoping was jumping down from the carriage, and when she heard Wang Xun's words, she immediately counted loudly, "You didn't even say hello yesterday morning, turned around and left." It makes Sister Bai worry about you all day. This morning, not long after the hour, the two brothers of the Qin family came to the door again. said that I couldn't find you when I went to your house, so I asked Sister Bai if she knew where you went! ”
"Ping'er....." Bai Jingzhi turned her head shyly and whispered to stop.
"I've been looking for him all morning, and I'm afraid to let him know!" Xiao Ping'er stiffened her neck and put on a posture that she would rather be beaten than speak up, "We will look for you separately from the brothers of the Qin family, and we will find you early in the morning." If it weren't for the fact that I met Wang Xiang halfway......"
"It's me who is not good, and I make Jing Zhi worried!" Before Xiao Ping'er finished speaking, Wang Xun had already walked quickly to Bai Jingzhi's side. Regardless of the fact that others were watching from the sidelines, he gently took the other person's hand.
He has basically not suffered any setbacks since he was a child, but in the past three days, none of the things he has encountered can be solved by his own strength. Just as I was wandering and helpless, I suddenly heard that someone cared so much about him. His chest shook suddenly, and he looked at Bai Jingzhi's gaze, he was already stupid.
Bai Jingzhi was embarrassed and shook it hard, but she couldn't get rid of it. I had to let Wang Xun hold his fingers, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Erlang, you haven't introduced your friends to me yet." What a faux pas! ”
"Ahh Wang Xun woke up from the gentle township in an instant, and with a happy face, he pulled Bai Jingzhi straight in front of Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun, "Two brothers, this is mine, my confidante Bai Jingzhi, she, she is currently performing in Jinhua Building." Jing Zhi, these are two of my good friends, the surname on the left is Zhang, a single name and a patrol word, it is the Tanhua in the Kaiyuan period. The bearded man on the right is surnamed Lei and his name is Wanchun. is a heroic man who walks the rivers and lakes! ”
Seeing that Wang Xun introduced himself to his friend without hesitation, Bai Jingzhi was happy and shy in her heart. squatted down slightly and made a blessing, "The singer Bai Jingzhi has seen two brothers!" ”
"Bai Xing's first salute!" "Brother and sister are exempt!" Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun each took half a step to the side and said one after another. (Note 2)
A red cloud appeared on Bai Jingzhi's face, and the whole person looked as delicate as a flower. glared at Wang Xun shyly, she turned around and grabbed the middle-aged *beautiful* woman in red who came in the same carriage as her, and introduced to everyone with a smile: "This is the concubine's good sister Gongsun Lan, her sword dance is a must in Chang'an City!" ”
"Aunt Gongsun?" Zhang Xun was not sensitive to the name Gongsun Lan, but Lei Wanchun immediately glared at Lao Yuan, "Haha, my old Lei is really blessed today." The first two of the four peers of the Beijing Division actually saw it at the same time! ”
"What are the four uniques of the Jingshi! It's all just a friend's foolishness. How can you get into the eyes of Xiao Zhang Tanhua and Lei Daxia! Gongsun Lan was also blushed, squatted down, and turned out to be a very authentic Wu Nong soft language.
"Gongsun, everyone is polite!" It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Xun vaguely guessed who he had met, so he quickly took half a step sideways and returned the favor.
Before coming to Beijing to report on his work, he had also heard from a friend that Beijing had four uniques. Anyone who has been to Beijing is proud to have a meeting with the four uniques. The so-called Big Four Uniques refer to "Li Taibai's poems, Zhang Xu's words, Lei Haiqing's pipa, and He Zhizhang's eyes." ”
Li Bai's poems are famous all over the world, and the words of the grass saint Zhang Xu are also hard to find. Lei Haiqing once worked with Tang Xuanzong to sort out the neon clothes and feather clothes song, and played the pipa in one hand, making it difficult for those who heard it to know the taste of meat for several days. And He Zhizhang's eyes refer to this old man's discerning eyes, and Li Bai entered the current emperor's field of vision because of his praise of "Immortal". And because he was arrogant and arrogant, he repeatedly ridiculed Li Linfu in public for being "talented but not virtuous", and Yang Guozhong for "having no virtue and no talent", so he was highly respected by readers.
For the world, going to Chang'an and not being able to meet the "Big Four" is not a regret in life. If you miss the little four absolutes again, then this trip to Chang'an will be equivalent to leaving in vain. The so-called "Little Four Uniques" are "Gongsun Aunt's sword, Bai Jingzhi's song, Xie Feiyan's Gonghou, and Hu Aman's waist." Among them, Hu Aman is from the west of the Western Regions, and it is said that she is a princess who has died in the country, and her waist is as soft as a spring willow. A flying dance made countless kings and grandsons fascinated. Every year, there are many talented people who travel to Chang'an to spend all their entanglements because they are addicted to Hu Aman's dancing, and finally have to live on the streets.
And Xie Feiyan's gonghou sounds like a different taste. Like the new rain in the autumn mountains, there is an indescribable emptiness and desolation beyond the lightness. Every day, there are many well-educated people who have never met talents, and they sit in front of Xie Feiyan's playground early. waited from morning to sunset, just to listen to Xie Feiyan's song, shed two lines of tears, and washed his heart.
Compared with the swords of the latter two, Gongsun Auntie and Bai Jingzhi pursued the traditional way of neutrality and peace. Especially Aunt Gongsun, a sword dance with one hand "comes like thunder, goes like the wind". It was rumored that Zhang Xu watched the sword dance of Aunt Gongsun back then, and he created a unique wild grass, and he was finally among the top four.
As a top idler in the Beijing Division, Wang Xun naturally knows the name of Aunt Gongsun, but he usually spends not a lot of time on singing and dancing, even if he goes out to have fun, most of them are tired of Bai Jingzhi's room and have no time to take care of others. The ancients had a saying, "Those who look at the sea are difficult to be water, and those who swim at the gate of the saints are difficult to speak", perhaps this is the truth. (Note 3)
After everyone finished the ceremony, Bai Jingzhi gently smoothed out the wrinkles on Wang Xun's clothes, and asked in a low voice, "What has Erlang been busy with in the past two days?" Why do you run to the yamen early in the morning? I asked the Qin brothers, and they have been squeaking and refusing to elaborate! ”
"Zida is in some trouble!" There are outsiders in front of him, and it is inconvenient for Wang Xun to confide too much. Especially in front of "everyone" like Gongsun Lan, who has been in and out of the palace and has dealings with many concubines, he is even more silent.
Bai Jingzhi was raised by her bustard mother since she was a child, and observing words and emotions is almost a compulsory lesson since she was a child, and found that Wang Xun seemed to have a lack of suffering for outsiders, so she immediately smiled and said softly: "Since Erlang is fine, then I will rest assured." The brothers of the Qin family are looking for you everywhere. If you have time, meet them today! Sister Gongsun and I left first, the two brothers, the younger sister should serve tea in Jinhua Building another day, and wash the dust of the two brothers! ”
"There's no need for another day, at noon today, I invited Li Bai, Gao Shi and others to have a drink in Linfeng Tower. If Gongsun and Bai Xing agree to appreciate the light, it would be great! Lei Wanchun grinned, and the ghost made a mistake.
Before the words fell, Zhang Xun's face changed greatly. Since subduing a bunch of children surnamed Ashina, Hu Feng, the master of the Tang Dynasty, has been very victorious. It's normal for young talents to get together for a drink and ask a few singers to cheer them on. Even if someone gets drunk during the banquet and rolls in a pile with the singer after drinking, everyone will treat it as a romantic affair and laugh it off. No one will be fed enough to be involved in any male or female nuisance. But how could these two women in front of them be regarded as ordinary singers and dancers? Not to mention that Bai Jingzhi is Wang Xun's confidante, it may be everyone's younger brother and sister who have not passed through the door. That Aunt Gongsun, who had been appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor back then, ordinary princes and nobles may not be able to move, how could they easily dance with swords for a few scholars who have no power or position?
Unexpectedly, Aunt Gongsun and Bai Jingzhi didn't take Lei Wanchun's words as angry at all, looked at each other, pursed their lips and smiled. This smile attracted the attention of countless passers-by, and even the morning sun in the sky felt darkened.
In front of everyone's eyes, I saw Aunt Gongsun walking a few steps slowly, and then restraining again, "Since Lei Daxia has an appointment, how dare we disappoint the fun." However, there is no shortage of entanglements, and Li Qixian, Secretary Gao, and Xiao Zhang Tanhua each need to give a poem as a thank you. As for Lei Daxia and Wang Xiaohou, you can consider the appropriate gifts yourself! (Note 4)
"Make, make!" Regardless of whether Li Bai and others were present or not, Lei Wanchun took care of everything. "If anyone dares not to write, I will pour him with a jar of wine. Although Lei is not good at writing and martial arts, this amount of alcohol is never lost to others! ”
Aunt Gongsun smiled again, nodded, and pulled Bai Jingzhi to turn away. It wasn't until the man and the carriage had disappeared at the bend in the street that some of the onlookers suddenly came to their senses and shouted, "Oh, I saw Aunt Gongsun today." Hurry home and practice calligraphy. If you have any extra brushes at home, lend me one first! ”
Hearing this, all the pedestrians laughed. No one had the time to pay attention to the origin of the three men who were talking to Aunt Gongsun just now.
After such an adventure, the depression in the hearts of Wang Xun and others dissipated a lot. While everyone is not paying attention, sneak out of the crowd and jump on the mount.
Walking on the way to the cockfighting ring, Zhang Xunwu blamed himself for Lei Wanchun's recklessness, and he shouldn't have casually invited the two strange women. Lei Wanchun shook his head and said with a smile, "Since they are all strange women, naturally they can't be treated with worldly courtesy." Besides, I just heard Brother Wang sigh, saying that the Jingshi is deep, and even the Qin family can't afford to provoke the people offended by Brother Yuwen. Since everyone in the palace often goes in and out of the palace, if we want to sue the emperor in the future, we will inevitably ask her for help! So, it's better to get acquainted as soon as possible! ”
Note 1: Beginning of line. In ancient times, it was an honorific title for a singer or a performer. That is, the head of a certain line.
Note 2:; Lei Haiqing, a real person in history, is a child of Liyuan. After the fall of Chang'an, he refused to play the pipa for An Lushan, and was executed by An Lushan.
Note 2: From "Mencius", here it is meant to be ridiculed.
Note 4: Wrapping the head, a thank you gift to the singer. Gao Shi used to be the secretary of Ge Shuhan, but he was not developed at the moment, so he was honored as Secretary Gao. In the future, he became a festival envoy and rode a regular attendant. It is a high permanent servant.
