Chapter 5 mistakenly chases away the world's pleasures

After Zhao Xingde thanked Chao Budao, he was so happy that he seemed to be smeared with nectar on his internal organs, like a cloud, and returned to the crowd of students with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and Kant came up to talk to him, he still looked at the road back to Bianliang from afar, his heart fluctuated, and his face was smiling. Seeing him look like this, Kant thought that he was greatly famous under the limelight today, and it was inevitable that he was a little fluttering, he intended to make friends with Zhao Xingde, and he didn't think he was angry, and took the initiative to talk to him: "Brother Zhao, I don't know how to learn such exquisite archery?" ”

Zhao Xingde listened to him, then came back to his senses, and was about to answer, when suddenly a pretty maid in a Zhu Hailuo skirt came closer, saw his appearance clearly, and checked a blessing, and then presented a blue pine flower sweat towel to Zhao Xingde, smiled before speaking, the autumn waves flowed, and lowered his head and whispered: "The slave and maid congratulate Zhao Gongzi on raising the prestige of the Song Dynasty, which was rewarded to Zhao Gongzi by the master of the slave and maid." ”

"Reward?" Kangde raised the corners of his eyebrows, and Zhao Xingde looked at the maid's gaze together, it was the travel team that was entangled with Li Ruoxu's kite, and was ready to return, dozens of guards on horseback played the royal flag, and some women and ladies lifted the curtain to look this way, and I don't know which nobleman gave this sweat towel, Zhao Xingde had to take it, and said with a smile: "But it's disrespectful, thank you master." ”

After seeing the maid leave, the Kangde said with a smile: "The princesses of the Great Song Dynasty are extremely strict, all of them are gentle and virtuous, compared with the princesses of the Xia Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom, they are not the same, Brother Zhao is so blessed." He joked lightly, but Zhao Xingde hurriedly said: "Xingde is just a Confucian, royal majesty, Brother Kang Hugh wants to laugh at it." ”

The two chatted for a while, and the Kantian asked Zhao Xingde where he learned archery, and Zhao Xingde explained: "Archery is one of the six arts, and I have been practicing it every day since I entered school at the age of seven, but I am familiar with it." ”

"Really?" Kang's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again, "Isn't there a master who teaches archery?" ”

Zhao Xingde shook his head and said in a deep voice: "I haven't studied with a teacher, and I have figured it out while practicing according to the archery skills of the ancient god archers Gan Fly, Feiwei, and Ji Chang described in "Liezi". The Kantian was very amused and asked, "Did you learn the art of archery from the princes?" ”

Zhao Xingde nodded and said with a smile: "Really, it has accumulated over time, but it is just familiar." Kantian nodded and smiled: "If you study like this, you are a true bachelor." Get to know Brother Zhao, and it is not in vain that I accompany the two clowns who jump off the beam to play a game. At this time, the scholars of Taixue gathered around, and the Kant and Zhao Xingde made an appointment to meet again, and then changed the name with Zhao Xingde, the name was written on the front of the post, and the address of his house was behind it.

As soon as he said goodbye to Kangde, Zhao Xingde was dragged by Deng Su and Zhang Bing, Deng Su said loudly: "Today, Yuan Zhiyang is the majesty of my great Song Shizi, go, go to Huixian Tower, don't get drunk today!" Zhao Xingde was dragged by the two of them, and saw that Li Rui and other classmates and friends were left and right, so he had to huddle with everyone and go to the new door of the restaurant, along the way, Zhao Xingde asked: "Why don't you see Brother Shaoyang?" Deng Su shook his head and laughed: "Don't say, don't say." Zhang Bing said in a low voice: "I went at the invitation of Zhao Yan." The green apricot wine in this store is the best, and Yuan Zhi should drink more," he turned his head and asked the guy in the store: "Five more pots of green apricot wine." ”

The guy nodded and wrote it down, and said with a smile: "Our store also has a new cherry roast, do you want to try it?" ”

Zhang Bing waved his hand and said: "This is natural, if you don't get drunk today, you won't return!" ”

Everyone came to the Huixian Building, and the classmates who were good at running up and down in Taixue had booked a private room in advance, and various snacks such as lychee paste and sugar crispy plums, seasonal fresh fruits such as royal peaches, plums, golden apricots, and ringo were lined up, and the singers and maids holding the silk and bamboo orchestra sat next to more than 20 students, and the audience was full of the laughter and playfulness of young scholars and warblers. Deng Su saw that Zhao Xingde seemed to be a little restrained, and said with a smile: "Today's Huazhang Zhai Yaji, Chen Shaoyang has not arrived for some reason, and he must be punished to set an example." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Bing's eyes moved slightly, as if he had guessed Deng Su's attention, and said with a smile: "How to punish him?" Deng Su laughed in a low voice: "How about taking Chen Shaoyang's name card and inviting Master Li from Alum Tower to accompany him?" It can also be regarded as the repayment of the husband's debt to the wife. After saying that, he laughed proudly, raised his hand and poured a glass of wine into his stomach, and some of the attendants around him covered their mouths and smiled, and some were coquettish.

"How does this work?" Zhao Xingde knew that the relationship between Chen Dong and Master Li was not ordinary, so he said urgently. "Why not?" Deng Su smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Zhao Xingde down, and told the restaurant guy to come in, and took a Chen Dong's name card and asked him to invite the teacher. After the man left, Zhang Bing said: "If Chen Shaoyang doesn't come, Yuan Zhi will be drunk and the girl will rest." After speaking, everyone laughed again, but Zhao Xingde secretly shouted badly, how to explain to Chen Shaoyang.

When Master Li appeared at the door holding the pipa, the noise in the audience actually quieted down. I saw that she pulled her hair in a bun at will, wore a pale green skirt, did not wear a gorgeous dress of gold and silver, her face was lightly powdered, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water, she looked around, and immediately found that Chen Dong was not present, showing some disappointed and complaining looks, although she had not yet spoken, but even Deng Su and Zhang Bing were so cheeky that they felt quite embarrassed. Since the prostitute has arrived, there is no reason to leave without following the order, she first blessed all around the seat, and finally her eyes fell on Zhao Xingde, who hung his head, then held the pipa, knelt down beside him, stared down and whispered: "The master was summoned by all the officials, I don't know what music I want to hear?" ”

Deng Su and Zhang Bing called Master Li with the strength of the wine, and when they saw her pitiful appearance at this moment, they were worried that they would offend Chen Dong if they laughed too much, so they didn't speak, but another scholar shouted loudly: "Our country's prisoners naturally want to listen to today's 'light wine and people together'." After speaking, he laughed proudly, Deng Su's face sank, and he reprimanded: "Mo Qi, you drank too much." Mo Yu said loudly: "I did the words today, and the teacher girl can't sing it?" He changed his words, and said, "What kind of Oiran lady, just a prostitute, what else is there to sing a song, you are afraid of Chen Dong, but I am not afraid, could it be that he and the teacher still have an affair?" ”

Zhang Bing didn't expect things to turn out like this, he stood up and wanted to persuade him again, Zhao Xingde also frowned, seeing that Master Li's lips trembled slightly, and there were faint tears in her eyes, although she was a prostitute, she was not an official prostitute, because she was good at color and art, she had always had the freedom to choose guests, and she met gentle and considerate benefactors, and she had never been humiliated in person.

Today's "Light Wine and People Share" is really an obscene poem, and the following sentences are "Nephrite lamp embrace." Looking back into the embrace is always reasonable, painful and painful. Push Lang lightly. Gradually hearing the trembling, slightly frightened red. Try and change the longitudinal, there is no seam, this time the flavor is crazy, moving, arms together, lips together, tongues playing. "If Master Li is molested like this today, even if he is good and follows Chen Dong in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise his head in front of his classmates and colleagues.

That Mo Qi insisted endlessly, and claimed to report Chen Dong as a Confucian student for fornicating with a prostitute, Master Li was helpless, and when he was about to give up, Zhao Xingde said: "Today, since you celebrate Xingde, don't you just happen to get a new song, so please sing lightly from the teacher." At this time, although the imperial court forbade the word endowment, but the decree did not work, even the suave officials also occasionally had good works, the scholars privately gathered, and wrote poems to fill in the words to show the uninhibited, everyone listened to Zhao Xingde and talented, and they all applauded.

Zhao Xingde immediately silently sang a later song "Servant Operator", Master Li took the pen and ink, and after looking at it carefully, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, gently plucked the silk strings, his throat was tactful, and he sang in a low voice: "It's not about loving the wind and dust, it seems to be mistaken by the front edge." Flowers fall and bloom from time to time, always thanks to the monarch of the East. If you go, you must go, and how can you live? If the head is full of mountain flowers, don't ask where the slave returns. ”

Master Li sang the hesitation and helplessness of the dusty woman so vividly, with a poignant and sad taste in her charm. Zhao Xingde secretly praised in his heart, such a good word must be sung by a beautiful woman, and he raised his hand to pour a glass of turbid wine into his throat. After this song, everyone cheered in unison, and Master Li also got up to thank all the scholars, only Na Moqi still refused to ask her to sing the obscene song, Deng Su frowned, and was about to scold him, but heard Zhao Xingde say again: "The singing voice of the teacher girl is really the aftertaste of the three days of Liang, and I still have a few games on weekdays, and sing them one by one." Without waiting for everyone to agree, he took the pen and paper, and sang the seven or eight good words that he remembered in later generations and on paper.

In this way, everyone knew Zhao Xingde's intention to protect him, and before long, Deng Su, Zhang Bing and others also wrote the good words they made on weekdays and let the singers sing them one by one. And Mo Qi was intimidated by Zhao Xingde, and he didn't dare to offend the anger of the public, so he had to stop and listen to the music with everyone. Master Li secretly whispered thanks to Zhao Xingde. Zhao Xingde smiled and said in a low voice: "This so-called 'sister-in-law and uncle help', I don't think Brother Shaoyang will be blamed." Master Li glanced at him, covered her mouth and chuckled, at this moment other singers were singing, she put down the pipa and poured wine for Zhao Xingde.

In a short time, all kinds of delicacies in Huixian Lou were passed up like water, and the eunuchs and scholars of the country were staggered, and the orchestral songs were blowing endlessly, and it was extremely lively. A box next door is quiet and elegant, the face is like a crown of jade, the three princes of the crown of jade, King Jing Zhao Qi sits in the middle, the upper left head Honglu Shaoqing Wang Heng is dressed in ordinary Confucian clothes, the lower head is the military young eunuch Bai Maoxin, the upper right head is the Jurchen envoy Wan Yan Zongbi, and the lower right head is the deputy envoy Wan Yan Xiyin. A few singers with beautiful postures and refined manners sat quietly next to the banquet and poured wine.

"Your envoy admires the heart of the Celestial Empire, and he already knows it. The stakes are of great importance to make an alliance to attack Liao, and it is necessary to consider it in the long run. Zhao Qi pondered the words. The Jurchens claim to be a vassal country, but in the roster of Honglu Temple, the Northeast vassal only has Goryeo and does not see the Jurchen country name, thinking that it is just a foreign barbarian who wants to deceive more money and food on the grounds of claiming an alliance to resist Liao, if it were not for the fact that the Yan Department paid tribute to three hundred Dongzhu, a thousand taels of gold, and left the door of the old prime minister Cai, Zhao Qi would not have bothered to see them.

"The Khitan is cruel and tyrannical, oppresses our people, and asks for mercy from the kingdom." After Yan Xi Yin Bingdao, Zhao Qi nodded a little impatiently, and Wang Heng replied in his place: "The major affairs of the military state are not trivial, and naturally they cannot be decided overnight, but well, His Royal Highness King Jing and Cai Xiang took pity on you and others in a bitter cold place, and were bullied by foreigners, and authorized you to purchase armor, iron, gunpowder and bows and crossbows from the Ordnance Supervisor with gold, and purchased grain and grass on Zhulu in Shandong, and went to sea after being inspected by the Bosi of Banqiao City, Mizhou. There was an irrefutable implication in his words, and the Jurchen messenger had to be the only one.

"For more details, you can discuss with Lord Bai." After Zhao Qi finished the last sentence, he stood up and left the table with Wang Heng, and there was also a gathering of scholars to appreciate paintings, in order to create a momentum to replace the prince, he must continue to improve his reputation among scholars. With the respect of the three princes who are the most favored by the official family, he has already given these two barbarians a big face by showing his face.

Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin sat in the Accord, happy and worried, worried that the Song Dynasty refused to attack Liao with the Jurchen alliance, and the joy was that the Song Dynasty finally agreed to trade with the Jurchens by sea, and the gold water and gold mines occupied by the Wanyan tribe were secretly mined, and the gold that could not be eaten and drunk could be exchanged for money, food and ordnance in a steady stream from then on, which could enable more men to get rid of hunting and agricultural work, and train more elite soldiers. And this so-called "many" is only more than 10,000 soldiers, far from being compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops of the great powers of the world such as Liao, Song and Xia.

The young warden of the armament, Bai Maoxin, couldn't see the depth of his face, and he didn't pay attention to others after King Jing left, just laughing with the singer. Wanyan Xiyin said secretly, the official of the Central Plains really calmed down, he followed the instructions of the master, before speaking, he took out the golden ticket of three hundred taels of Jiaozi, respectfully presented it to Bai Shaojian, and said with a smile: "A little special product of the land of barbarians outside the country, please also ask the adults to laugh." ”

Bai Maoxin saw that he followed the rules, secretly praised the son of the son of a teachable, and quietly took over the Jiaozi known as "Huitong the World", his eyes swept away, but he was really taken aback, three hundred taels of gold, it seems that it is indeed worth working on, and he said with a smile on his face: "It is worthy of it, but it is disrespectful, it is the order of King Jing and Cai Xiang, and the armaments that the third prince of Wanyan needs, the lower officials must do their best to select the best ones to use." ”

Wanyan Xiyin is one of the few Jurchen people who has read Han poetry and books, and immediately pushed the cup with Bai Maoxin to change the lamp, and when the wine was hot, the two were eager to call each other brothers, but Wanyan Zongbi was thrown aside, and drank with him one by one. After getting acquainted, Bai Maoxin said vaguely: "The Liao people are very powerful in cavalry and shooting, and the city is high, so they restrain their cavalry and shoot and attack the city, and the most powerful thing is firearms." Wanyan Zongbi's eyes lit up, and he personally brought the wine glass to Bai Maoxin, and after inviting him to drink it, he said: "My clan has been invaded by the Khitans, and I also ask the adults to guide and save me." ”
