Chapter 641: The Debate of Beauty
The season has entered autumn, and the weather in Guizhou has been read with a cool online game of sheep in wolf clothing. Riding out of the city, the morning breath makes people feel exceptionally cool.
"Brother Zheng, Qu Yuan's hometown is at the foot of Woniu Mountain, there are still more than 20 miles away from here, although the road is winding, it is not difficult to walk. There is Qu Zi Ancestral Hall there for people to pay tribute. Zu Jie pointed ahead and introduced Song Zheng.
Song Zheng nodded and smiled, "Zigui, Zigui, this name comes from Qu Yuan." If you're lucky enough to be here, you'll have to pay your respects. "Since he is going to stay in Zigui for a few days, Song Zheng also wants to take the opportunity to visit the historic sites.
"Brother Zheng and Master Fan are a little similar. I heard that the original Qu Zi Temple had been dilapidated, and after Lord Fan came, he mobilized the squire to renovate it, and also appointed local villagers to take care of it. Every year around the Dragon Boat Festival, Lord Fan also goes there to worship. ”
"Oh? Master Fan is really a gentleman, and this move can be called a meritorious one. Song Zheng was a little surprised.
At this time, a pleasant voice came from behind him, "That's true, Master Fan deserves to be the first martial champion of Great Qi, and he can be called a Confucian general!" I don't know if there is an ancestral hall in the hometown of Zhaojun, who also belongs to Zigui? ”
Zu Jie frowned slightly, glanced behind him, and looked at Song Zheng sneeringly. He had the heart to refute Su Chan, Brother Zheng was the first martial champion, but he was embarrassed to speak.
Song Zheng turned his head and smiled, "Do you want to go to Mingfei Village by Xiangxi?" It's in the wrong direction. ”
Today's Su Chan is dressed in a white short suit, with a belt around her waist, and she looks more and more beautiful, with a bright face and a straight nose, and there is no smoke and flattery. Zu Jie didn't dare to look at it, but the sergeants who followed secretly looked at the buttocks and breasts on the horse. Yahuan Xiaoyun, who provoked Su Chan, glared at those sergeants from time to time. This girl was in a bun and a short dress, and although her figure was not bad, her face was cold and arrogant, and as soon as the sergeants met her gaze, they hurriedly bowed away, and even their bodies were stiffened.
"'The mountains and thousands of ravines go to Jingmen, and the Ming Concubine still has a village.'" Zhuang Yuanlang went to Qu Zi Temple, not to Mingfei Village, but he couldn't look down on our daughter's family? Su Chan came to the belly of the horse, rushed up, and inserted between Zu Jie and Song Zheng's mounts.
Zu Jie became more and more embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Brother Zheng, I'll go ahead and see the way." With that, he waved his whip and rushed ahead.
Song Zheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, his brother has unparalleled archery skills, but he is afraid of beautiful women, and it is really funny to watch.
Since leaving the ship, Song Zheng's mood has improved a bit, and he has also thought of acting with Su Chan. After all, if you want to pretend to be a "romantic match", you can't treat beauty as nothing. A famous prostitute like Su Chan is indeed pleasing to the eye: she is very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and with this face, I don't know how many sons in Jiangning City are crazy.
I don't know how many people are obsessed with Su Cicada, but no one can become a guest of the scene. Before Jiang Kui's accident, no one dared to use force; And after Jiang Kui's accident, those prodigal sons were warned by their families, and they didn't dare to get close, for fear of getting into any trouble, and even Zhu Youzhan, who admired him, also rested his mind. So much so that although Su Chan is very famous, no one has come forward and has become a wonder in Jiangning City. Song Zheng once guessed that this was the reason why Su Chan wanted to follow him into Sichuan.
"Song Gongzi, you still haven't answered my words!" Su Chanjiao snorted, and that daughterly appearance made Song Zheng's heart beat even when she saw it.
"The Su family has wronged Song, how dare Song look down on his daughter's family. Zhaojun went out of the fortress and won decades of peace for the Han people, and the merit is in the future, and the descendants of my generation can not praise it too much. If it weren't for that, Du Gong would not have said the verses you just chanted. ”
"This is a good saying, our daughter's family has always been compared to a red face and a disaster by the righteous path guards, but they ignore the merits of our daughter's family." Su Chan looked angry.
"Why are you so arrogant? Justice is at ease in people's hearts. For example, I admire Zhaojun very much. ”
"Do you admire the fame of beauty?"
Song Zheng touched the back of his head, but he was embarrassed to deny it. The four beauties, which one is not the object of people's fantasies? Among them, it is the sigh of the rise and fall of history, and there is also a little hormonal factor. Even some bad literati used the four beauties as spring palace paintings, which were quite popular.
Su Chan pouted and said, "You are also a pervert!" ”
"Is admiration for beauty lust?" Song Zheng smiled bitterly, "Isn't that all men in the world perverted?" ”
"It's not a good thing anyway, it's our daughter's family who suffers and reads it all. Look at the four beauties, which one is not a tragedy? ”
Song Zheng coughed dryly, "Xi Shi Fan Li is boating on the lake, and the ending is also happy." ”
Su Chan snorted lightly, "That Fan Li gave his beloved to others as playthings for the sake of Goujian's hegemony, have you ever thought about the sorrow in Xi Shi's heart?" ”
"This ......" Song Zheng was speechless for a while, he hadn't thought about this.
"Diao Chan doesn't know where it is, Yang Yuhuan died in Ma Wei, and this Wang Zhaojun, who served his father first and then his son in a foreign country. How sad? Even this place, Zigui, is stained with the blood and tears of Qu Yuan's sister. Isn't it tragic? Speaking of this, Su Chan's eyes were filled with tears.
There are several theories about the origin of the name of Zigui, the most famous is Qu Yuan's sister, "Water Jing Note" cloud, "Qu Yuan's virtuous sister, Wen Yuan was exiled, and also returned...... Because of the name, it is called Zigui. "Zi" is "sister". It is said that this sister later heard the news of Qu Yuan's death and called him every day, so much so that she coughed up blood and died of depression.
Song Zheng was speechless. He has a modern soul, and naturally knows that in the long feudal society, women have carried too many bitter tears. Although Su Chan is a dusty woman, this insight is quite in line with Song Zheng's appetite.
Seeing that Song Zheng was speechless, Su Chan looked at Song Zheng with resentment and muttered, "The dignified champion Lang, isn't he also only worshipping Qu Zi Temple, but Ming Concubine Village?" ”
Song Zheng was stunned, "We will stay in Zigui for a few days, and after the worship of Qu Zi, we will go to Zhaojun's hometown." Or if you don't want to go to Qu Zi Temple, we will go to Xiangxi. ”
Su Chan was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were shining. She said so much this time through the words, and she didn't mean to vent. After all, since Su Chan got on the boat in Dangtu (of course Song Zheng didn't dare to take her directly from Jiangning), Song Zheng didn't lie to her all the way. Even if it is "acting", I always feel that something lies between the two. Therefore, when I talked about Zhaojun, I didn't feel sad and sighed. She didn't expect that Song Zheng was so "soft", not only speaking for the woman, but also being willing to accompany her to Xiangxi. was inexplicably moved in an instant, so that her tears could no longer be stopped, turned into pearls, and rolled down.
Song Zheng rubbed his hands again and again, "This ......" If it was his woman, he could have come over to comfort him, but he was really a little helpless against Su Chan.
"Miss!" Yahuan Yun'er rushed up, glared at Song Zheng fiercely, and was busy handing Su Chan a silk scarf.
Song Zheng smiled bitterly in embarrassment, beat his horse forward, and caught up with Zu Jie in front.
"Brother Zheng, what's wrong with Miss Su?"
"Leave her alone. But women and villains are difficult to raise, those who are close are not inferior, and those who are far away are resentful! ”
"Oh!" Zu Jie nodded as if he didn't understand, but he didn't have the heart to introduce the scenery to Song Zheng again.
Qu Zi Temple is on a slope at the foot of Woniu Mountain, surrounded by remnants of ancient city walls, and the mountains are like arms, embracing the place where this saint was born in his arms. The mountains are verdant, the birds are singing and the insects are singing, and it is a good scene.
The ancestral hall is not large, with three rooms in size, and the houses lead the way, all of which are paved with blue bricks. Hearing the sound of Song Zheng and the others' horses' hooves, two villagers wearing green cloth clothes came out of the ancestral hall and greeted Song Zheng and the others.
Zu Jie gave them half a tael of silver and told them to step back. He also ordered the sergeant to guard outside, and led Song Zheng and Su Chan into the ancestral hall.
In the middle of the ancestral hall is the statue of Qu Yuan, and there is a candle fruit incense burner on the table in front of the statue, and there is nothing peculiar about all the furnishings.
Song Zheng glanced at the statue, it was a thin middle-aged man, with a long figure and deep eyes, staring directly at the door. He brushes his beard in his left hand and holds a bamboo book in his right hand. Dressed in a long robe, he has fluttering clothes and a sachet of zhicao on his waist.
After looking up and down, Song Zheng went to look at the inscription on the stone tablet next to him. The inscription was written by Fan Zhitong, which probably describes the reason for the rebuilding of the ancestral hall, as well as the officials and gentry who helped it. The surrounding walls are filled with memorial verses. It seems that many literati and artists have already been here.
Song Zheng did not kneel down to worship, but Su Chan solemnly knelt down, bowed to the ground with his head, and made a big salute. Song Zheng didn't laugh at her, although he thought that respect only existed in his heart, and dared to bow down to people, but he did not object to others' expression.
"Brother Zheng, are you writing something too?" Zu Jie took the pen over, and there was a dip in pen and ink on it.
Song Zheng shook his head, "The price for Qu Zi's statue to stand here is his self-surrender to the Miluo River. Loyalty through the ages; A life of sobriety and a life of sorrow, I am not qualified to write any poems here. ”
"A good sentence: 'Loyal through the ages, loyal through the ages; A life of sobriety and a life of sorrow. 'Why should the prince be humble? Even if it is not on the four walls, it is good to write it down and burn it to Qu Zi, so that he can know that his way is not lonely! Su Chan stood up and said.
Song Zheng pondered for a moment, "Okay, I'll just write and borrow someone else's pair." After speaking, Song Zheng took the pen and wrote on the desk by the door. A moment later, a couplet appeared on the paper: "The great festival is loyal, the air is full of rainbows, and the nine chapters of the song are mighty; Xiu Neng Meizhi chaos, Zhi Cun Sheji, Ze legacy eternal praise and separation. Three more small words were written below, "Zhao Puchu".
"Huh? Who is Zhao Puchu? This couplet is very well written! Su Chan said in surprise.
"A learned man who admires Qu Zi." Song Zheng didn't explain much, this couplet was originally written by Zhao Puchu in the Zigui Qu Yuan Ancestral Hall, Song Zheng thought it was very good, so he took it directly.
Su Chan pondered for a while, and also wrote a poem of mourning, along with Song Zheng's words, and burned it in front of the hall.
The whole tour did not last long, and everyone embarked on the return journey. Song Zheng and Su Chan both sank into the thoughts of history and did not speak for a long time. Turning the foot of the mountain, Song Zheng and the others stepped on the flat road.
At this time, words such as Qu Yuan and Chu Huai Wang were still spinning in Song Zheng's mind, and suddenly, Zu Jie shouted, "Who! ”
Song Zheng hurriedly raised his head, only to see a flock of birds rising in the mountains and forests on the slope of the road, and behind the rocks more than twenty zhang away, a sharp arrow shot out quickly, and it was in front of Song Zheng in an instant.
