Chapter 141: First Acquaintance with Li Mi's Clever Words and Dramatists Trustworthy and Worthy of Wanliyun
It turns out that this high-rise building is the private room of the restaurant next to it, Yang Er directly ascends the open roof platform, the general wind is strong, the literati and elegant guests are inconvenient to stay for a long time, they will gather and drink on the 3rd floor downstairs, and they can also overlook by the railing. Today, Li Zixiong, a local scholar, happened to be hosting a banquet for his brother and teacher Li Mi, who had come from afar, when he was drinking when he suddenly heard someone on the upstairs platform chanting poetry loudly. Li Miping is also good at writing poems, and he is also quite famous in Liaodong, and when he suddenly heard a good poem today, he couldn't help but applaud loudly, and he wanted to get to know this talented student in the Central Plains.
At that moment, Yang Er followed Li Zixiong down to the private room on the third floor, only to see that a person had already stood in the room, this person was less than 30 years old, but his face was full of vicissitudes and looked old-fashioned, and he looked like an ordinary person, like a businessman who came to the Central Plains from the north, but this pair of eyes was quite clear and deep, as if he could see through people. Seeing Yang Er enter the room, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Yang Er was also busy stepping forward to salute. After taking a seat, without waiting for Yang Er's words, this Li Mi introduced himself first, as if he was afraid that Yang Er, who was noble and extraordinary, would look down on him.
"Son, please sit down, I am a person from Xiangping, Liaodong, surnamed Li Mingmi, and the word Xuansui. My family lives in Liaodong and is also a wang family, but unfortunately the family is in the middle of the road, and my generation is only barely living. This spring, the imperial court opened the department, and the secret is still some pen and ink skills, is about to go to Chang'an to take the exam, passing through this Banzhu, it happens that there is a good friend of mine here, so I made an appointment to watch the scenery and drink, and then went west to Chang'an for two days. I don't know what to call Childe? There is such a poetic talent, if you go to Beijing to take the exam, you will definitely be able to stand out! Please! Li Mi knew etiquette quite well, and poured the wine in the cup for Yang Er, which was not inappropriate at all.
"Huh! It turned out to be Mr. Xuansui, a famous scholar of this dynasty, and the Li family of Liaodong was also the third prince of the fourth dynasty in the previous dynasty, and the pillars and gentlemen who went abroad for generations. Shengnai is a person from Chang'an, surnamed Yang Mingkuo, with a wide range of words and wisdom, and has been a businessman for generations. Today, I also took advantage of the stability of the world to accompany the caravan to Jeju via Banzhu, as the saying goes, "it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books", and this trip should increase experience. Yang Er took the wine glass, symbolically dipped his lower lip and put it down, shaking the paper fan and said softly.
"Oh! Brother Zhiguang is good. I heard the poem of the virtuous brother that said: If you want to be poor, go to the next level. Mi quite has a feeling, and this time he went to Beijing to take the exam, and he is thinking about going further. I don't know if the virtuous brother has the intention of being a member of the scientific examination? Li Mi also put down the wine glass, touched a short whisker on his chin, and asked softly.
Mr. Xuan Sui smiled, and just climbed to watch the river scenery coincided with the setting sun, touching the scene and giving birth to a few words. What can be compared to the gentleman's talent. The younger brother's family has been a businessman for generations, and he was born lowly, although he also read Confucius and Mencius, but it is difficult to enter Shilin. Yang Er felt funny in his heart, so he deliberately teased him a few words to see how he divided.
"Huh! Didn't Brother Zhiguang Xian listen? This imperial examination is an unprecedented initiative, and today's saints do not restrict the birth of children, but they learn from practice. If the virtuous brother is interested, the brother can lead you to a way. Li Mi pretended to be mysterious.
"Oh?" Yang Er was unconsciously curious when he heard Li Mi like this, and leaned back on the table. Could it be that there is a loophole in the first opening of the department presided over by the emperor himself?
"Huh! Dissatisfied with the virtuous brother, my Liaodong Li family ancestors have a close relationship with Yang Su, the prince of the Yue Kingdom in the DPRK, this time I will go to the capital to worship under the name of Yang Gong, there is a famous post recommended by Yang Gong himself, are you afraid that the examiner will not give a little face? Therefore, my brother is still very sure of going to Beijing to take the exam this time. If the virtuous brother goes with me, the two of us can go to visit Yang Gong together. Li Mi explained to Yang Er with a smile, in his heart, he completely regarded Yang Er as a rich businessman with no background, and he didn't take any precautions. Think about it, how can there be an official eunuch in the capital who will come to Banzhu Town so far away at this time?
Yang Er immediately reacted when he heard this, this guy was originally subordinate to Prince Yang Su's party, no wonder this person was capricious and unkind in history! It's just that it hasn't started yet.
"Huh! Thank you Brother Xuansui for your kindness, but my brother really doesn't have the heart to take the exam, the world is so big, I just want to go and see, and I just want to be an idle person in the rivers and lakes. Yang Er smiled slightly, shaking the paper fan and said.
"The virtuous brother is indifferent to fame and fortune, and admires his brother!" Li Mi saw that Yang Er couldn't move, so he had to smile at Yang Er.
Seeing that the words were not speculative, Yang Er got up and bowed his hand and said goodbye: "It's getting late, and my brother has to rush back to the inn, so it's inconvenient to stay for a long time." If he has a fate, you and I will gather in the capital. ”
Li Mi and Li Zixiong saw that Yang Er was like this, and it was inconvenient to keep them, so they got up and sent them to the door.
"Alas! Seeing that this person is extraordinary and talented, I wanted to make friends with him, but I didn't want someone who wasn't my kind. What a pity! Seeing that Yang Er had walked away, Li Mi turned around and said softly to Li Zixiong, who was also a friend to his student.
"Sir, don't worry, this time I went to the capital, and thousands of scholars took the exam, all of whom were young talents from my dynasty, could it be that I couldn't find a few like-minded helpers?" Li Zixiong said with relief, he knew that Li Mi, who was also a teacher and friend, had great ambitions and was far from being a subordinate person.
On the way back to the inn, there were many fewer people in the town, and the shops on both sides were lit with candles. There are also many wealthy homes with lanterns hanging in the foyers. Yang Er led everyone to the inn without making a sound, thinking about Li Mi's affairs in his mind as he walked. In the few books I have read, Li Mi has been described in detail, and this Li Mi can be regarded as a romantic figure of this era. I don't remember that he was a member of the imperial examination, but he did vote under Yang Sumen, and even assisted Yang Xuangan to take the lead in rebelling against the Great Sui later, igniting thirty-six anti-kings, seventy-two roads of smoke and dust, and finally the Great Sui Dynasty collapsed. This Li Mi later betrayed Yang Xuan and went to Wagang and was elected king. Later, he was defeated by Wang Shichong and destroyed Wagang, he surrendered Li Yuan, Li Yuan married the princess to him, but he turned his back on Li Tang, and was finally killed by Li Yuan. This man's life is also quite legendary.
"can play with Yang Xuangan, Xu Maogong and Li Yuan in the palm of their hands, this Li Mi is a character, and he can't be seen." Yang Er thought to himself.
"This Taoist leader, it's good, people haven't eaten for two days, give 2 yuan to buy two buns to eat!" Suddenly, a sloppy-faced person rushed out from the side of the road, seeing that his hairstyle was not like that of a person from the Central Plains, and grabbed Zhong Jian beside Yang Er. This begging sound also stunned Yang Er for a moment, and he couldn't help but turn around to look.
"Who are you, and why are you begging here? Is that animal behind you a horse or a donkey? Yang Er asked softly, this was the first time he had encountered a flower who forcibly begged for money.
"Sir, I am a Beidi Xi people, originally brought more than ten good horses to the Central Plains to sell and buy, I don't want to meet mountain bandits in the mountains of Weizhou, they not only robbed my horse but also killed a few of my partners, people saw that things were not good, and they rode this horse and ran away with their bags and luggage, please give me a few pennies!" This man, who has become called Hanako, pleaded.
Yang Er felt funny when he heard it, and Zhong Jian and Yu Wenhua Long on the side also shook their heads and didn't believe him.
"It's not hard to give you some loose silver, but you're not telling the truth. How can this pony behind you escape the bandits? Yang Er turned to the pony behind the Xi man and asked, his eyes couldn't help but look up and down at the so-called horse.
"Brother Shi, I think this is a donkey, but it's bigger than the donkey at home, hehe!" Zhong Jian's words also caused Yu Wenhua Long to laugh. It's just that the dust on the side also came over with Yang Er, and only looked at this pony.
"Brother Shi, this horse is so weird!" Izumi circled the pony.
Yang Er also nodded, he knew that this kind of pony was not a Central Plains horse breed, how was the horse nature? I don't know, it's just that this Xi man can actually ride this horse to escape the pursuit, there must be something strange in this.
"Let me ask you, where do you come from? Tell me the truth, and I'll give you a few days' food. Yang Er was ridiculous to this person who asked for food.
"To tell you the truth, this horse was stolen from the head of the Northwest Wei Mur tribe, and it was also hungry for a few days, and it lost its fat, and it was not very good-looking. But this horse is a good horse, and it can outrun ordinary war horses in the Weimur grassland, and its endurance and weight bearing are excellent. This is a witting answer.
"Brother, sister heard that the master once got up to produce a good horse in the Wei room, which is so big, but it can travel thousands of miles a day, what is called "a lamp for a thousand miles" and "thousands of miles of clouds", it is a rare good horse. I wonder if it's this horse? The sound of dust was with Yang Er, and there was already a sense of love in his eyes.
"You ridiculous man, my son has taken a fancy to your horse, I will give you 500 taels of silver here, which is enough for you to return home. Would you like to? "When Yang Er heard Chenyi, there was a light suddenly lit up in his heart." A light for a thousand miles" He had never heard of it, but this "Wanli Cloud" seemed to be Li Si's sitting horse a few years later! Suddenly I felt a sense of possession.
"Good, good! Anyway, I will starve to death with me, so I will sell it to Mr. I sold horses here during the day, but I never met anyone who knew this horse. This Xi man hurriedly agreed as if he had met a savior.
"Hualong, take him back to the inn to get the silver. Zhong Jian led the horse away. Yang Er turned around and left, Zhong Jian hurriedly went over to take the reins from Xi Ren's hand, urging Xi Ren to leave quickly.
Just these days just to buy shoes for Luo Shixin is quite a headache, this son runs with everyone's horse, it is too much for shoes, now it's good, this "Wanli Cloud" belongs to him, dwarf with pony, it is the fate of Luo fool! Yang Er smiled secretly in his heart. I have long wanted to equip him with a suitable horse, not that there are no horses, but ordinary horses do not move here, and the pair of iron sledgehammers are too heavy.
After returning to the inn and sending Xi people away, Lai Hu'er, who was accustomed to seeing good horses, also shouted good horses when he saw this "Wanli Cloud", and was surprised again and again. When Luo Shixin heard that it was a war horse for him, he also looked at it right, and he didn't reject it, but he just smirked on the side.
Angry Yu Wenhualong scolded on the side: "You are so cheap, kindly give you a high-headed horse, you don't want to shirk it several times." When you see this pony that looks like a wild donkey, you giggle like you have seen your daughter-in-law. When they heard this, they all burst into laughter. Abeyi couldn't stand up with a smile.
That night, let the innkeeper take out the concentrate and feed it. And the next day, when they saw the horse, it was not the same as yesterday. It's like being beaten with chicken blood! The pony had a layer of fat, it looked like a horse, not a donkey, but it was as fierce as a steppe cheetah. The four hooves trampled wildly, kicking forward and kicking, and everyone did not dare to approach.
"My son, I'm --- I'm coming." Luo Shixin was stupid and only knew how to step forward, without fear. He stroked the mane on the back of the horse's head, stroked it a few times, and the horse quieted down, and the horse's eyes looked straight at Luo Shixin who came up, and he actually touched Luo Shixin's head a few times with his head. Just when everyone didn't know what they meant, they only heard Luo Shixin shouting: "Don't --- don't worry, I'll ride --- you out this ---." ”
After that, Luo Shixin untied the reins of the horse tied to the post, stepped forward to the stable, tied one to the left and right sides of the two sledgehammers, and then turned the horse's head and jumped up. The pony slid up to the sky and spun around in place, then rushed towards the door of the inn.
Everyone looked stupid at this time. Lai Hu'er and Zuo Tiancheng reacted quickly, and the two hurriedly took out their war horses from the stables, jumped on horseback, and went out to chase them.
"! Don't run far, just test your foot strength. Yang Er yelled at the second general in the back, thinking, early in the morning, what is the matter with this TM!
Near noon, the three who had gone out to walk their horses early in the morning returned to the inn one after the other. It's better to come to Hu'er, and then look at Zuo Tiancheng's appearance, it's like he's tired and peeling off his skin.
"Big --- brother, what a good horse! Give --- a boost! Hehe! Luo Shixin's face was relaxed, and his eyes were even more happy.
"Lord, where do you think this fool has gone all the way? The dog took us almost didn't run to Bian Zhou, and it was not easy to catch up with this guy, and I saw what excited him. Laihu'er panted and complained.
"Lord, Lao Zuo's ass is going to be turned in half, I'm afraid I can't leave today, let me have a good rest." Zuo Tiancheng grinned, with a painful face, and came over covering his buttocks.
"Okay! Anyway, I have to wait for the Xue family brothers to come over today, just wait for the two of them to come. Yang Er waved his hand and motioned for the two to go to the room to rest.
At noon, the meal was very simple, and everyone gathered around a table to eat. Only Luo Shixin went to the stable with the bowl, and he was actually eating with his "Wanli Cloud", and while eating, he was still talking to the horse, as if the horse could understand his stammering words.
Everyone felt weird, only Abeyi ran over to look at the two "beasts" from time to time, and then came back and couldn't stop sneering in front of Yang Er and Izuchen. I can't practice for a while.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the Xue Wanche brothers finally found the inn where Yang Er lived. No wonder they waited for a long time, and the two men were followed by a carriage, driven by an old groom, carrying a large mahogany box, I don't know what was inside?
Maybe it's a congratulatory gift from the Xue family brother to Qin's mother! It seems that the size is not a big gift. Yang Er was thinking in his heart. WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature" to see, talk about life, and find confidants~
