Chapter 26: The Four Geniuses' Gestures of Favor
After the poetry meeting, Du Chengfeng ignored the blazing eyes of everyone, quietly avoided the crowd, and prepared to leave alone.
Just as he was about to step across the gate of Luo Yuan, a voice came from behind: "Brother Chengfeng, please stay!" ”
When Du Chengfeng heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that it was one of the four great talents of Chang'an.
However, he looked modest and friendly, Du Chengfeng had the heart to make friends, so he bowed his hand and asked, "A few big brothers, I don't know what to ask." ”
The four talented men hurriedly waved their hands and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, where do you dare to ask for advice in front of Brother Chengfeng." ”
After speaking, they took the initiative to introduce them one by one.
"Brother Chengfeng, in Xia Luo Mingchuan."
"Under Shi Yan."
"In the next week."
"Under the king's blessing."
Watching several people take the initiative to introduce themselves one by one, Du Chengfeng's good impression of several people has greatly increased.
A few people don't have the arrogance and arrogance of a talent, and Du Chengfeng can't pretend to be high. The communication between friends is sincere, so he also took the initiative to hug his fists and said, "I don't know what happened to a few people who are called to live down?" ”
Seeing Du Chengfeng's overture, Luo Mingchuan stood up first and said: "We have heard of the name of Brother Chengfeng long before the poetry meeting, but we have never seen it, and I am deeply sorry. This time I didn't expect the Chengfeng brothers to also come to participate in the poetry meeting, but also won the championship in one fell swoop, the four of us were very admired, I want to invite the Chengfeng brothers to Wangjiang Tower, I don't know if the Chengfeng brothers are convenient. ”
Since Du Chengfeng has the heart to make friends, he will naturally not refuse, and responded heartily: "Okay, a few people are gracious, but they are disrespectful, please!" ”
After speaking, the five of them got into the carriage together, and it didn't take long to arrive at Wangjiang Tower.
Shopkeeper Lu was sharp-eyed, and when he saw that Du Chengfeng was coming, he was still with the four great talents of Chang'an, presumably he was here for dinner, and he had an idea, and hurriedly called the shopkeeper to instruct: "Go quickly, clean up the Tianzihao private room, and take Du Gongzi up." ”
"Tianzi private room?" The four talents in the same industry were all in the same place, with a look of doubt and surprise.
It is said that the Tianzihao private rooms in Wangjiang Tower are rarely open, even the imperial relatives are no exception. What is the situation today, listening to the tone of the shopkeeper Lu, it seems to be like Du Chengfeng's goodwill?
They didn't think that the four of them could have such a face or be more noble than the emperor's relatives, the only thing that might be Du Chengfeng had some other identity.
Under the leadership of Xiao Er, the five of them came to the Tianzi private room. This day is really a little different, antique, luxuriously decorated, standing in front of the window, the style of Chang'an City can be seen at a glance, and there are special maids in the room to serve. I saw that the four talents praised it repeatedly.
Several people are people with clear minds, and they are not fools, and they can be called the generation of the four great talents, but how can they be inactive. Zhou Xiangwen smiled and took the lead in saying: "I came to Wangjiang Tower today, but I am all stained with the light of the Chengfeng brothers, I feel very honored!" ”
Shi Yan and the three of them also echoed in unison: "Yes! Yes! ”
Du Chengfeng knew it, and he didn't shirk it, and said indifferently: "A few big brothers are polite, please take a seat!" ”
Turning his head and instructing the shopkeeper, "You go down to serve the food, remember to prepare a few more bottles of fairy wine, today I will get drunk with a few big brothers." ”
Zhou Xiangwen is a standard drunkard, as soon as he heard that there was fairy wine to drink, he rubbed his hands with excitement, and his mouth seemed to be drooling out in the next moment. Immortal wine has always been in short supply, and a few of them can only try their luck if they want to drink it.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiangwen was a little puzzled and asked: "Brother Chengfeng, this fairy wine is not cheap, the brothers are shy, which ......?"
Although it was a few of them who took the initiative to invite Du Chengfeng to come to Wangjiang Tower for dinner, but in this ......, alas, several people looked at each other, and the situation became embarrassing for a while.
Du Chengfeng smiled knowingly when he saw this, it seems that they are all temperamental, straightforward and undisguised, unlike some people who prefer to slap their swollen faces and pretend to be fat.
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of several people, Du Chengfeng hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, all the consumption today is free." ”
When several people heard this, they replied in unison: "Then how can you do it, how can you let Brother Chengfeng break the bank?" ”
"Hah! Ha! Ha! Du Chengfeng laughed and explained: "A few people misunderstood, the fairy wine was brewed by me, and I helped Wangjianglou inscribe two pairs of words, so the shopkeeper Lu ...... in order to thank me" The rest of Du Chengfeng didn't say anything more, I believe a few people should understand.
I see, a few people suddenly realized, and remembered in an instant that this fairy wine was also brewed by Du Chengfeng, plus poetry and calligraphy, this genius boy is really not a little bit more demonic than a few of them, it seems that it is extremely correct to take the initiative to make friends.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Du Chengfeng finally learned that although several people were known as the four talents, they were not rich and noble.
It's just that they pity each other and share the same disease. Although he is a few years older than Du Du Chengfeng, he can be regarded as having achieved nothing, and he has no ambitions and nowhere to show them.
Du Chengfeng also felt quite helpless when he heard it, the fate of ancient scholars could not be described as bleak.
As a literati, there is no insignificance, although the literati are in the upper echelons of society and receive extremely high courtesy, and then after all, it is a very small number of people who can be proud of their careers.
More often than not, it is difficult to show up for ambitions. What's more, books are expensive, and most of the precious books are controlled in the hands of famous families such as the five surnames and seven wangs, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to win fame by reading.
The root cause of all of them is caused by the misdirection of Confucianism for thousands of years, the so-called "everything is inferior, only reading is high", a decadent old saying makes how many people rush to it, thinking that reading is to be an official for the imperial examination, how many people in the world are reading, and how many people can get ahead for officials?
This is a dead knot, and it cannot be solved unless it is broken. These Du Chengfeng can't do anything for the time being. Of course, all this is only temporary, and with the system in hand, it is only a matter of time before the root cause of this decay is solved.
He suddenly remembered that in the early Tang Dynasty, Sijie seemed to have a surname Luo and a surname Wang, and after thinking about it carefully, he was really lucky.
Isn't this Luo Mingchuan the father of Luo Bingwang, Wang Fufei seems to be Wang Bo's father, and he read the poem when he was in elementary school: Goose, it is said that Luo Bingwang was written when he was seven years old, and he is really a genius.
Hey! Du Chengfeng smiled secretly, these are all talents. I don't know if I need talents, God sent it to the door, alas, it's too simple and cool.
Thinking of Luo Bin Wang and Wang Bo, Du Chengfeng instantly had a brilliant idea. Because the culture of ancient people could not be popularized, they had a high sense of respect and mystery for things that they could not explain and did not understand.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng are a good example.
Du Chengfeng coughed lightly twice, and asked mysteriously: "Brother Luo, is there a young son in the house who can be called Luo Bin Wang, and Brother Wang, is there also a young son named Wang Bo in the house?" ”
