Sitting on the bluestone by the pool, Wang Yuan could smell the good smell of the wet soil on the shore and the fragrance of the grass buds around him.

In his ears, the sound of the scribes walking around in the pear orchard and the laughter of Li Linfu and the others on the pavilion became ethereal, Wang Yuan felt that his heart calmed down suddenly, and then the few glasses of sake he drank just now slowly steamed up his brain, and he yawned and fell asleep.

However, he felt the vibration of the soil around him, someone was walking behind him, Wang Yuan hurriedly looked back, and saw a tall and thin figure standing behind him in the dazzling sunlight, and his backlit face was a little difficult to see for a while.

Wang Yuan was startled, hurriedly stood up, squinted his eyes to adapt to the sun, and then saw who it was, and was a little surprised.

"It turned out to be Brother Du, did you come to find him?"

The person who came was Du Fu, a smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, and he bowed his hand and said: "Du is abrupt, I don't know if it disturbed the honorable driver." ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Where, where, I actually pretend to sleep here." I got up early today, and I drank a few glasses of wine just now, and I was a little sleepy. ”

Du Fu smiled and said: "Du knew that Zunjia was confident about this second poem topic, and I happened to have a sentence, and it was still early to get to know him, so I took the liberty to come and know Zunjia." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Mr. Du's poetry is amazing, he has poems so quickly, I write them here, and I am afraid of the headache of thinking, so I hide here and be lazy." I'll just scribble a few sentences later. ”

Du Fu said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi is humble, and with his talent, he must be confident." The untitled poem made Du convinced, and Du admired it so he took the liberty to disturb it. ”

Wang Yuan shook his head and said: "Brother Du said that he laughed, he was able to worship Mr. Du's poems, and he also admired them, in fact, Mr. Du's poems were better than those I wrote in the first poem." 'When you meet each other, don't be in a hurry. But I am afraid that the sky will fall, and I would rather say that the wine cup is empty. Such a sentence could not be written by an ordinary person. Mr. Du's talent is the real talent, and I sincerely admire it. ”

Du Fu laughed and said: "That's not as good as your sentence 'It's difficult to say goodbye when you meet, and the east wind is powerless'." ”

Wang Yuan said solemnly: "It's comparable, it's comparable." There is no first, and the act of fighting poetry is absurd, not to mention that you and I have different perspectives on our poems, and it is actually inappropriate to argue about them. I raised this point with a few judges of the Master, and the Maha Gong agreed. It's a pity that today is a poetry fight, and there must be a first and second division, so ......"

Du Fu nodded and said: "Du is very admired for being open-minded and open-minded." When you said those words to them, Du also heard them. Because of this, Du Mou had the intention of making friends. Although Du is just a cloth cloth, he is very picky when choosing friends. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "It's an honor." ”

Du Fu pointed to the bluestone and said, "Can I sit here?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Of course you can." ”

The two of them vacated their places and sat side by side on the bluestone, facing a pool of spring water and chatting like old friends.

"Du also read a few recent poems, Du thought you were an old man, but today I was surprised, it turned out that Zunjia was a teenager. This is really a hero from ancient times. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "I am still a young man who is a pawn, and even I am surprised, I scribbled a few songs indiscriminately, and it was recognized by everyone, Brother Du, do you say that these people are blind?" Hahaha. ”

Du Fu also laughed and said, "I didn't expect Zunjia to be so cynical, but it is completely different from the poems you wrote." ”

Wang Yuan put away his smile and said, "I'm not cynical for myself, I'm for Brother Du." ”

Du Fu was stunned and said, "For me?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Yes, they don't need people like Brother Du, what is it if they are not blind?" Not only blind but also deaf and stupid. ”

Du Fu looked stunned, looked at Wang Yuan for a long time and sighed softly: "It seems that you also know the purpose of my visit to Beijing this time, I have achieved nothing in my life, and people say, 'Learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are with the emperor's family'." I have the heart to talk about being loyal and learning to the emperor, but unfortunately people don't want it. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "So they are deaf and blind." Although I have never met Mr. in Xia, I do know that Mr. must be a great talent, but he has no chance. I'm afraid that Mr. Iraka is not willing to come to participate in the Pear Blossom Poetry Club, but he is forced to be helpless, after all, he needs to be appreciated by the right minister. ”

Du Fu's eyes were blazing and said: "Wang Gongzi, who knows me, I have never opposed comparing poetry with each other, and the most respected one in my mind is Li Taibai, who told me that poetry needs to come from the heart, not bound to external objects, wandering in the world." Therefore, Taibai can have earth-shattering works. A few days ago, I got a poem that Taibai had recently written, and I felt more and more that he had become a saint. Compared to him, I am ashamed to still be struggling to make a living and a future. ”

Wang Yuan exclaimed: "You and Li Taibai already know each other?" ”

Du Fu said: "What does it mean to already know, we already know." ”

Wang Yuan thought that Du Fu was not famous now, and he should have nothing to do with Li Bai, but he didn't expect that the two had already known each other.

"Tianbao three years, Taibai resigned to travel east to Luoyang, I was living in Luoyang, Wen Taibai came to Luoyang, specially went to visit. On the Tianheng floor in Luoyang, we drank and talked about poetry, so far, no matter what Taibai thinks, Du regards Taibai as a close friend in this life. Du Fu looked at the white clouds in the sky, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be very excited when he remembered the situation when he met Li Bai that day.

Wang Yuan's mind flashed, and he suddenly remembered a poem, so he chanted softly: "Don't be drunk for a few days, come to the pond." When Shimen Road, there is a gold bottle open. The autumn waves fall in Surabaya, and the sea is bright. The flying tents are far away, and they are all in the cup. ”

Du Fu was stunned and said in surprise: "You also know this poem?"

Wang Yuan nodded and smiled: "This is the poem that Taibai gave you at parting, I envy Brother Du, I can get Taibai to appreciate the poem, and I have no regrets in this life." ”

Du Fu sighed: "Having said that, I miss him very much; The day before yesterday, I got a new poem from him, and I missed him even more. I also wrote a poem and wanted to give it to him, but unfortunately he is now wandering in the southeast, and I don't know where to send the poem. ”

Wang Yuan said: "Can you read it?" ”

Du Fu nodded. Stretching out his hand to dip in the water in the pool, he wrote on the bluestone: "Bai is also invincible in poetry, and he is not in a group of thoughts." Fresh Yu Kaifu, Junyi Bao joined the army. Weibei spring trees, Jiangdong sunset clouds. When a wine, heavy and fine papers. ”

Of course Wang Yuan knows this poem, this is one of the poems written by Du Fu to Li Bai, called "Memories of Li Bai in Spring", although these two great poets have only met once, and they have been around for less than a few days, they have formed a deep friendship and become a pair of very good friends.

"Why didn't Brother Du travel the world with Taibai back then? Since Brother Du admires Taibai so much. ”

Du Fu sighed: "There is only one Li Bai in the world, and I can't learn him if I want to." I can show you Taibai's new poems, and you will know that no one can be the second Li Taibai. ”

Du Fu took out a folded letter from his arms, slowly opened it, and handed it to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan solemnly took it, and there was a poem written on it, which was the majestic Taibai masterpiece "Will Enter the Wine".

You don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns.

You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk.

Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.

……

……

Five-flowered horses, daughters and daughters, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you.

Wang Yuan finished reading it in one breath, although this poem is very familiar in his heart, but reading this poem in later generations and reading this poem in the Tang Dynasty feels completely different, as if seeing the arrogant and ethereal figure of Li Bai, who is unruly and lonely and self-appreciative, disdain everything in the world. As Du Fu said, no one can learn such Li Bai, and no one can catch up.

"I see, there has only been one Taibai throughout the ages, and no one can follow in his footsteps. I am afraid that only immortals can write such verses. ”

"Exactly. To Taibai, we can only look up, not follow. Besides, I have a wife and children, and my ambitions are different from those of Taibai. He can 'look up to the sky and laugh and go out', while I can only work hard in the camp, hoping to serve the court and the people." ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "I understand that Brother Du is not seeking officials for glory and wealth, but for the people. ”

Du Fu smiled and said: "Thank you for understanding this, many people say that I am obsessed with fame and despise me, but I am really happy that you say such a thing." With such an open-minded personality of yours, if you can see Taibai, I am afraid you can also become friends who forget the year. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "It's a pity that the fairy trail is slim, I don't know if there will be such a day." ”

Du Fu said: "If there is such a day, I will definitely introduce you for the honorable driver." ”

The two talked about it very speculatively, Wang Yuan himself didn't expect to be able to talk to Du Fu so hotly, of course, part of it was out of his respect for Du Fu, although he was still just a down-and-out person at this time, but he was the poet saint Du Fu respected by later generations, which invisibly made Wang Yuan have a friendship with him.

The bell bell rang three times, and at the same time, Yan Zhenqing's voice on the pavilion was heard: "Everyone, in the last two points of incense time, the talented people who have not yet written should put down the pen quickly." ”

Wang Yuan and Du Fu looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't expect that the two had been chatting for almost two pillars of incense, so they got up together and walked towards the pavilion.
