Chapter Eighty-Seven: Being a Humble Man
Among Luo Yan's staff in the Qin Palace, there is a faint saying that he is the first person of the younger generation. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough the two penmen under Li Xuandao have only received their subordinates in the past two years, and they don't know Luo Yan's famous name, they can't stand the news in the palace spreading quickly.
Luo Xiaoshu, who was in the limelight for a while three years ago, resigned and went to study, and three years later he actually went to the Qin Wangfu to become a pen clerk who didn't even have a grade. At the beginning of this matter, only a few departments that dealt with Li Xuandao knew about it, but later the matter spread farther and farther, not to mention the entire Qin Palace, even the people outside knew about it.
It doesn't matter if you know, but people like to watch the excitement. Originally, those young people who used to be Li Shimin's staff, but now they are also mixed with an official and a half-position in the Qin Palace, are they looking for something to come and see Luo Yan.
Of course, there are several types of people here. Some people just come here for the sake of it. At that time, Luo Yan was famous among the younger generation in Chang'an City, but not too many people had seen Luo Yan himself. Moreover, Luo Yan had attended Li Shimin's staff banquets twice in total, and many people here were not qualified to participate in such banquets at that time. So at this time, it's just a good time to see what the legendary Luzhou Luo Yan looks like.
But there are still some people who come here purely to ridicule Luo Yan. At that time, Luo Yan was highly valued by Li Shimin, which made them peers feel great pressure. Fortunately, Luo Yan gave Li Shimin two ideas in public, but they were not adopted by Li Shimin, and at that time, it seemed that Luo Yan's plan was still a little clumsy, so these people let go of the jealousy in their hearts. But what should be fought with Luo Yan is still to fight. Then when these people finally felt that they were going to go down, they suddenly left inexplicably.
In the past three years, although it is said that many of these people have been valued by Li Shimin, they have been directly given official positions. But when Luo Yan was put in the limelight, some people still lingered.
No, when he heard that Luo Yan was now the master bookkeeper under Li Xuandao, he ran over directly to find fault.
On this day, a guy named Zhao Jian came to the door. I thought that this thing would be like everyone else, come and say hello and leave. It happened that Li Xuandao had something to go out, and after this goods came in, he sat still and didn't leave. pretended to chat with Luo Yan for a few words, and showed his true face.
"Luo Xiaoshu, I have heard for a long time that Your Excellency is smart and clever, and you are good at writing poems, and today my little brother has come to ask for advice." People in their twenties are in their twenties, and because they are holding back bad thoughts at this time, they are very modest.
"It was all because I was young and ignorant before, so I was too proud to be praised a few words. Now the younger brother deserves a smart and clever sentence, that is, he will not be scolded for being stupid, which is already a great thing. Although Luo Yan didn't know that this thing would dig a hole for himself, he was still used to being modest.
"Where is it, Brother Luo is really too humble." Zhao Jian was still entangled.
At this time, several people walked in outside the door, and as soon as they entered the door to say hello to Luo Yan, they followed Zhao Jian to coax blindly.
Seeing that this is not right, but at this moment, Luo Yan has been squeezed here, if he escapes, I am afraid that Luo Yan will be rumored out immediately, and he is afraid that he is not enough to take on the big responsibility. Although this kind of thing is also the slander of the younger generation, if there is someone among these people to help, Luo Yan will definitely have to suffer a small loss at that time.
There's no way, since you can't escape, let's come. At that moment, Luo Yan said very sternly: "Since you brothers are so earnest, then the junior brother is not easy to refuse, if Brother Zhao has any questions, just ask." ā
Because Zhao Jian had already said that he was consulting Luo Yan on the matter of composing poetry, he immediately took out a clay sculpture of a frog and said to Luo Yan: "It's nothing else, the little brother made a bet with someone some time ago to compose a poem with the theme of frogs, and he didn't want to be won." I was really unconvinced in my heart, and I happened to meet Luo Xiaoshu today, and I wanted to listen to a better frog poem, which can be regarded as a relief from the stuffiness in my heart. ā
What kind of thing is this, it's clearly to come up with a problem, and then make Luo Yan's reputation stink. Aren't you quick-witted, haven't you studied hard for three years, okay, writing a poem to a little frog can be difficult for you, and that Luo Yan seemed to be useless three years ago. That's what this guy thinks.
This is not the end, and someone on the side immediately accosted: "Presumably, with Luo Xiaoshu's talent, it must be able to be completed in a cup of tea." ā
This product is even more poisonous, and it directly cuts off the possibility that Luo Yan has been thinking about for a long time. Zhao Jian gave this guy a vague look and expressed great satisfaction.
Originally, Luo Yan still wanted to calm things down, so he suffered a little loss and coaxed these masters away. Who knows that they have been humble to this extent, these people still don't want to let go of themselves. There's no way, since that's the case, let's just tear your face, who made me not have such a deep friendship with you.
For these people, he didn't want to be patient at all.
Immediately read out a poem that he thought was the best written in his heart:
"Sitting alone in the pond is like a tiger, and nourishing the spirit under the green trees.
If I don't speak first in the spring, which insect dares to make a sound? ā
Originally, the seven unique frog poems Li Shimin, Yan Song and others have written them, but the general meaning is the same. That is, if I don't speak first, you dare to make a sound? But Luo Yan only likes this one of Old Man Mao's songs, maybe just because he first read this one, or maybe he just prefers this one among similar poems, in short, he just chose it.
But at this time, Luo Yan has another meaning, that is, I haven't said anything yet, you ants dare to mess around. It's not that Luo Yan is arrogant, it's really that these are not on the top of the history books, even under Li Shimin's account, they are not necessarily very famous.
is the same generation as Luo Yan, and Li Shimin's deepest memory is Chang Huai'an, who learned from the state capital and took the limelight from Luo Yan at Li Shimin's celebration banquet. This person came to look at Luo Yan a few days ago, and he was very humble, even if he was already an official of the eighth grade, he was older than Luo Yan's official at the beginning. But when people saw Luo Yan, they looked like they were not as good as Luo Yan. It made Luo Yan a little embarrassed.
Like these people, they come out to engage in these low-level things, which is boring.
For such a villain, Luo Yan naturally didn't want to give them any good looks.
Hearing Luo Yan's domineering poems, this group of people was stunned. originally wanted to find something obscure to make it difficult for Luo Yan, and then take the opportunity to suppress Luo Yan's reputation, but who would have thought that it would be so simple to be broken by others. Moreover, if this poem is spread, I am afraid that it will be widely sung and become a model of frog poetry.
Let's go, these people are a little unable to get off the stage by Luo Yan like this again, and on the other hand, they are also unwilling.
After being silent for a while, someone suddenly stood up and took out an embroidery needle and said to Luo Yan: "I also made a bet with someone some time ago, but the thing to write a poem is an embroidery needle." Don't need Brother Zhao, neither I nor the other party have been able to write it. Today, since I met Luo Xiaoshu's Wensi Quanyong, it is just right to relieve my little brother's worries. ā
Now a few people began to be proud again. This embroidery needle is really difficult to write, is there any allusion, ordinary. It is definitely the best choice for Luo Yan.
Several people began to smile, as if they had seen Luo Yan stumped at this time, and then they spread it around, and Luo Yan's name was no longer what it used to be.
At this time, Luo Yan was really angry. Although the poem I read just now is indeed a bit domineering, it is very obscure, and these people will accept it when they see it. Who would have thought that he would be so unrelenting.
What to do, Luo Yan decided to be ruthless, even if he lost the name of the poem that he had managed to mix up in the past few years, Luo Yan decided to teach these people a lesson.
Pretending to ponder for a while, Luo Yan said with some modesty: "The poem that the little brother thought of next is really too inferior and unbearable, I think it's better not to say it." ā
As soon as Luo Yan said this, where would these people follow. In their eyes, Luo Yan has been forced into a corner and is looking for the bottom of the stairs. At this time, if they say forget it, when they ruin Luo Yan's reputation in the future, if Luo Yan says that he thought of it at the time but they don't listen, won't they splash dirty water on themselves.
Seeing that this group of people was still obsessed, Luo Yan no longer saved face for these people, and opened his mouth to come:
"The tip of the head and the body are as white as silver, and there is not half a cent of the scales.
His eyes are on his buttocks, and he only recognizes clothes but not people. ā
As soon as these four sentences came out, several people were embarrassed for a while, and the person who took out the embroidery needle blushed even more and said, "An dares to deceive people like this." Then he swung a punch at Luo Yan.
Seeing these people annoyed and angry, Luo Yan was unceremoniously. Although the system gave him the ability to save life on the battlefield, he was particularly good at spears and horizontal knives. But that doesn't mean Luo Yan won't punch and kick a few times.
At the moment, three strikes and five divided by two cleaned up this guy who wanted to solve the problem by force. Although the remaining few people are said to be a lot of people, they were already a little impetuous, and when they saw Luo Yan so neatly and neatly took down a person, how could they dare to make more moves, pulled up the companions who were cleaned up, threw down a few cruel words, and ran away.
After all those people ran out, Qiu Xuan said to Luo Yan: "I didn't see that Luo Xiaoshu is usually a kind and angry person, but today he is so strong." ā
Luo Yan smiled: "A gentleman can't be bullied. Most of the people who come to see me these days say a word or two and leave. Originally, I didn't know so many people in the Qin Palace. Today, this group of people said so much, and they came to ask for advice on composing poetry, this is not to do anything bad, but what else can be. I've lost my reputation for the past few years, and I can't give these people a good face. ā
As he was talking, Qiu Xuan sighed at Luo Yan's limerick poem: "I don't think you will lose your reputation, I'm afraid you will step on those just now and become famous in Chang'an again." Although your poem is really not very good, it is really suitable for today's group of people. Thinking about the content of this limerick, Qiu Xuan and another writer began to laugh again.
