Chapter 161: Qujiang Flowing Drink (Part II)

That's it, his temper is a bit like a child, and he can't hide his anger, but he turned around, and hurriedly took Li Qing's hand and introduced it to the white-robed man with a smile: "Qinglian, he is the Li Dudu that everyone in Chang'an City is talking about today, and I am the youngest third-grade official in the Tang Dynasty, of course, those who were born in the royal family are not counted." ”

Li Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly complained to Wang Changling in a low voice: "Didn't I say don't reveal my identity?" How did you forget. ”

Wang Changling blinked, touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I was angry with you for a while, but I forgot." ”

Li Qing didn't care about his apology, he suddenly reacted, stared at the white-robed man in a daze, and couldn't say a word for a long time, Wang Changling called him Qinglian, then he is Li Bai, the great poet Li Bai that everyone knows in later generations, although Li Qing has been in Tang for four years, he has long been dissolved in this era, and he is no stranger to countless celebrities in the Tang Dynasty, and even when he saw Cen Shen just now, he didn't even bother to say hello, but this is it' The word 'Li Bai' actually gave his heart a strong shock, and it was the immortal poems that pushed him high into the sky, almost mythical.

This person is Li Bai. Li Bai, the word Taibai, the number Qinglian layman, the ancestral home of Longxi Chengji (today's water), the end of the Sui Dynasty his ancestors moved to the Western Regions Broken City (now Asia), Li Bai was born there, the family moved back to Shu at the age of five, at the age of twenty Li Bai began to travel the world, and sought office, eager to ascend to a high position in order to realize his political ambitions, but repeatedly hit a wall. Although he has become famous all over the world, but still has not won a position, he has reached the end of the year, this time into Beijing, he wants to make another desperate bet, in order to achieve the greatest ideal of life: Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world.

He just returned from Qilu, and Wang Changling's cocktail party was actually to catch the wind for him. He saw that Li Qing was in a trance, so he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Li Dudu is meritorious to the country in Nanzhao, and he is not greedy for the prosperity of Chang'an, but he takes the initiative to go to the border of the Western Regions. A native of Zhangming County, Mianzhou, he is also the township party of Li Dudu. ”

Li Qing's heart had calmed down, and he also said lightly to Li Bai: "Qinglian is famous all over the world, if you don't admire it, it is hypocritical."

For Li Bai, Li Qing only worships his poems, and his poems 'pen falls into a storm, and poems become ghosts and gods', which can be said to have reached the apex of learning art, but his character is not as admired as Du Fu. On the one hand, he said, 'An can break his eyebrows and bend his waist to the powerful. It makes me unhappy'. But he turned around and said, "You don't need to be born with ten thousand households." I hope to know Han Jingzhou'.

On the one hand, he said, 'Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty spreads flat boats', but Li Lin, the king of Yong, rebelled, and with a piece of paper, he rushed from the seclusion of Lushan and was willing to drive.

He is a high sexual maniac and plays with Colliers after drinking. The poem satirizes the concubine Yang Yuhuan, but after being repatriated by Li Longji, he was depressed for ten years. Maybe he was dissatisfied with the empty position of the Hanlin Bachelor, or maybe he was dissatisfied with the high position of a talented scholar, but how could he use poetry to govern the country, and the affairs of people's livelihood were trivial and trivial, how could he calm down; The political struggle is cruel and weird, and how can his romantic feelings come from.

His character should not be inferior, but the loneliness of the talented, but the pain that no one understands, but the anger of his life, he spent his life in contradiction and confusion, as his own poem said: 'Stop the cup and throw the spoon and can't eat, draw the sword and look around at a loss.'" ’

Although Li Qing was a modern person, he has been in the Tang Dynasty for many years, has integrated into that era, and has been in a high position, he admires Li Bai, and Li Bai does not admire him.

He saw that Wang Changling was anxious, so he smiled and said to Li Bai: "Since Qinglian Monk has the heart to change places, then Li Qing is better to obey his fate." ”

Wang Changling was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Then I'll go and tell your housekeeper now!" ”

As soon as he took two steps, two carriages came from the side, the first one seemed to be afraid of being late, the speed was fast, it was too late to stop, Wang Changling was too late to retreat, and he was about to collide, Li Qing was almost out of instinct, his eyes were fast, and he dragged Wang Changling back, "Be careful!" "The wind blew in his face, and his face hurt.

Li Qing's face sank, who dared to be so presumptuous, entering the apricot orchard and flying so fast, wouldn't it be Wang Changling's responsibility to hit someone.

The carriage had stopped, and the one behind it also stopped ten paces away, the doors of the two carriages were opened almost at the same time, and a young man came down in front of him, the same age as Li Qing, not tall, he was wearing a cloth on his head, wearing a light green silk cloth and silk robe, and a silver belt around his waist, he was a character official, and then looked at his face, his face was pale, and his physique was a little thin, but his eyes were obviously with a trace of arrogance.

He looked at Wang Changling, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a dry smile: "I said who wanted to stop my carriage with his body, it turned out to be Wang Jiangning, he is really old and strong, haha!" ”

When Wang Changling saw him, his face also showed a trace of contempt, last year this person also called him senior, this champion, when he became an official, he changed his title, it is said that this person is Li Linfu's red man, the official worships the secretary Lang, he did not invite him, but he came by himself, 'Phew! is still wearing an official uniform, what's so great about a slave, the old man's friend is still from the third grade! It's not as arrogant as you. ’

Wang Changling turned his head to look at Li Qing, but saw him staring at the dark with surprise on his face, following his gaze, Wang Changling was stunned for a moment, although he was not lustful, but his eyes couldn't help but reveal a sense of amazement.

I saw that a plain white dress gradually appeared in the twilight, in the moonlight, she did not make any modifications, nor did she have any makeup, as if she had just fallen from the moon, her face was transparent crystal white, and in the eyes of two deep pools, the eyes were like a thousand years of cold jade, cold and penetrating people's hearts, but the moment she saw Li Qing, the cold jade turned into a colorful gem again, shooting out a hot and gorgeous light, and the lips that were as hard as rocks suddenly became soft and plump, as if there were a thousand words to say, but the lips only moved, Not a word could be spoken.

Needless to say, readers know who she is, Li Jingyan agreed to the eldest brother's request to accompany Zhao Yue to participate in the Qujiang River Drink, although she later regretted it, but out of courtesy, she still came, but she never expected to meet Li Qing here

Happy intersection, forgetting everything around for a while.

"County Lord, you have nothing to do!"

She was awakened by a humble greeting, and she saw a person she hated standing beside her, and Li took two steps back instinctively, not wanting to stand side by side with him.

Zhao Yue's face turned miserable white, he turned his head suddenly, and stared at Li Qing viciously, it was too obvious, the county lord saw that this person seemed to have completely changed a person, who was he?

At this moment, Li Qing's heart was sour, he didn't expect Li Jingyan to accompany another man, in Li Qing's opinion, this is dating, and this person he has heard of, last year's new champion, he learned very well, even Cen Shen is under him, but he is a member of the Xiangguo Party, he feels that he has the obligation to tell Li Jingyan immediately, his father is an intermediary, and she must not associate with the Xiangguo Party.

In the end, it was easy to persuade herself to believe it, let her go on a date with Zhao Yue! I don't like her, what kind of Rausch vinegar to eat, and meddle with other people's affairs? It's all that Curtains and Xiaoyu are not good, and they joke that they have a ghost in their hearts, they are already married, how can they marry her again, and besides, they are all surnamed Li, it is impossible to have results.

Having said that, it can be seen that Zhao Yue walked towards her, his heart really couldn't stop the sourness, he suddenly hated Li Jingyan, how could she agree to come out alone with other men, and it was still night.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Yue squinted at Li Qing, his tone was arrogant, his position was low, and he couldn't go to the court. I don't know Li Qing.

Li Qing ignored him, and only said to Wang Changling: "Isn't Brother Yuhu going to change places?" I'll go with you. ”

At this time, Li Bai stood a few steps away with his hands in his hands, looking at these young people with a smile, as if he was standing in the clouds watching the tearing, but Wang Changling grabbed Li Qingdi's arm and dragged him back. What's more, Li Jingyan's expression changed when he saw Li Qing, even if he was blind, he could see that he didn't care what Li Qing thought, he was Li Qing's friend, and he was his eldest brother, since the county lord was interested in his little brother. How could that be cheaper than Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue touched a nail and was annoyed, so he had to keep Li Qing's appearance in mind, turned around and whispered to Li Jingyan: "County Lord, don't pay attention to them, let's go elsewhere." ”

Li Jingyan didn't move, her eyes lowered, and she shook her head firmly, "I'm sorry Zhao Gong, I'm not in good health." I'm going home. ”

"Since the county lord is here, let's join our poetry party together!"

Du Fu came out of nowhere. His clothes have been renewed, and he is really a man who relies on clothes and Buddha relies on gold. Although his body was still a little thin, he was full of energy, his smile was full of joy and confidence, and he was followed by seven or eight people, Gao Shi and Cen Shen were also there.

Li Jingyan suddenly raised her head and stared at Li Qing, her eyes were full of courage and expectation, all the shyness and timidity disappeared at this moment, and she asked resolutely, slowly, word by word: "Gong." Do you want me to stay? ”

Her eyes had gradually flashed with tears, and Li Qingxin was suddenly a little moved. The straightforwardness of this emotion, for her with a special identity, how much courage is needed, he suddenly remembered that many years ago in the restaurant, that shocking glance, Bai Yunxian skirt swirled lightly, his memory was once vague, but at this moment it clearly returned to his mind.

At this moment, Li Qing had just a trace of resentment towards her, as if the night fog had seen the morning sun, dissipated and slackened, and a kind of man's unique pride filled his chest, he smiled slightly and nodded to her.

Li Qing's nod, like a strong spring mood, immediately expelled the coldness on Li Jingyan's face and eyes, she seemed to be a fairy tale ice girl who was enchanted, and Li Qing's smile was to lift the spell of this magic, and from this moment on, the cold lord of the Tang Dynasty disappeared from then on.

"County Lord, you. . .

Zhao Yue couldn't believe his eyes and ears, he stared back at Li Qing, if there was one word that could describe his eyes at this time, it would be 'hatred!' ’

"Who the hell are you! Do you dare to put your name on it? ”

"If I were you, I wouldn't humiliate myself, I am a dignified state assassin, the governor of the Doulu army, what are you!"

Everyone flashed out of a road, a man in his teens came slowly under a group of people, although he did not speak, Li Qing knew him, the former left minister, the governor Li Shizhi, is now named too young to protect the idle position, after Zhang Ling's death, he is the leader of the Tang Dynasty, in the people enjoy a high status, he is the guest of honor invited by Cen Sen, his arrival, undoubtedly for tonight's poetry will draw a strong stroke.

He glanced at Zhao Yue coldly, unable to hide the disgust in his eyes, this person was his most proud protΓ©gΓ©, and when he saw that he had lost power, he did not hesitate to throw himself at Li Linfu, he was really a villain.

"This is not the court, Lord Zhao, you are in the wrong place."

Zhao Yue saw him as if a mouse had seen a cat, took a few steps back, and stared at Li Qing unwillingly, and ran away without a trace as soon as he turned around.

Li Shi stepped forward, patted Li Qing's shoulder cordially, and said with sincere gratitude: "If it weren't for Li Dudu today, I would be in the cold dungeon of Dali Temple at this moment, how could I have the opportunity to come to Qujiang to drink." ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly, and hurriedly bowed to him, "Lord Shaobao has won the award, Li Qing's road is still very long, please Lord Shaobao will help him more in the future." ”

"You don't need me to support you, as long as you help Tai well, your future achievements will be far above mine."

Li Shizhi suddenly felt that this should not be said here, so he laughed and said to everyone: "It's not too early, let's start!" The old man's wine worm can't help it. ”

.

There was not a single cloud in the sky, and a full moon swam through the green Qujiang Pond, lonely, scattering a cold glow, and the ground, water, and trees were dyed with a layer of silvery white, and the night was very quiet.

In the distance, the laughter of the poets startled the night-sleeping waterfowl homeless, and Du Fu's "Wangyue" was slowly chanting, expressing his pride and lofty ambition at the moment, arousing a round of applause.

Li Qing and Li Jingyan followed the song

Walking shoulder-to-shoulder, admiring the night of Qujiang, behind them, several maids and their families, faithfully performing their duties, perhaps, at this moment, Li Jingyan is more eager to be the daughter of an ordinary family, not to be monitored by subordinates, she suddenly frowned, made a gesture to her personal maid, the maid understood, and immediately pulled the maid and family out of their sight.

As soon as the next person left, Li Jingyan immediately became lively, she stood on tiptoe, jumped on the rock with one foot, suddenly became childlike, took off the embroidered spring shoes, pulled up the long skirt with one hand, and immersed the white jade-like feet in the shallow water, the sand and stone were soft and soft, the water was slippery and cool, she slapped the splash briskly with her feet, and smiled happily: "Gong, don't you come to try?" ”

Li Qing shook his head and said with a slight smile: "If I go down too, won't we become two naughty boys who touch fish?" ”

Seeing that he refused to come down, Li Jingyan reached out and picked up a string of splashes, scattered like pearls, and recalled dreamily: "I have longed to step into the Qujiang Pond barefoot since I was a child, but it has never been realized, when I was eight years old, the nurse hid from the family and wanted to secretly take me into the water, but was discovered, the nurse was beaten by my grandfather and driven out of the palace, how many years have passed, I thought that there was no chance in this life, but today I realized this dream, Gong, I am so happy in my heart." ”

"Your royal family has a lot of rules, I used to know a woman, there is a small river in front of her house, and she and her sister have to go down to the river every day to play in the water."

Li Qing suddenly thought of Yang Huahua, and it seemed that he hadn't seen her when he came back. There's no news of her, maybe she wants to go back to her hometown!

Li Jingyan smiled, "I know, you said that the land is Yang Huahua, and her sister is Yang Niangniang!" ”

Li Qing said angrily: "Three women in one play, it's really true, so what else do you know?" ”

Li Jingyan winked playfully and grinned like a little girl: "I also know that Gong wants to sell a leper horse. I did a lottery, and the person who drew it announced it to the official; Kindness! I also heard Xiaoyu say that Gong and Mad Dog had a fight. ”

"! When do I fight with mad dogs, these two guys, just mess with my old bottom, and tamper with them at will. Go back and settle accounts with them. ”

After that, Li Qing rolled up his sleeves, and the posture seemed to be really going back to fight, which caused Li Jingyan to giggle and bend over.

"Forget it, the two of them, I can't beat them!"

Li Qing jumped onto a bluestone, picked up a handful of stones, and floated into the water one by one. She was unsteady on her footing, and shouted urgently: "Male! Public! ”

Li Qing saw that she was about to fall. Hurriedly reached out and pulled her away, but he didn't notice that the place under his feet was full of moss. As soon as he slipped, he himself fell into the water first, 'Plop! There was a splash of water, and Li Jingyan also fell down.

"Are you alright?"

Li Qing hurriedly helped Li Jingyan up, and where her hand touched it, it was almost her body, and the two of them were like electric shocks, so frightened that they let go at the same time. The long skirt dragged the water, and Li Jingyan lost her balance again. He fell into his arms and crushed him to the water.

Suddenly, both of them froze, as if they were sculptures, motionless, Li Jingyan looked up at his jade-like face, staring at him stupidly, Li Qing was almost holding her entire body, from her infatuated eyes, from her pure and innocent slightly inclined shoulders and slender and soft arms, from her wonderful, and at the same time a little lazy posture, from her sweet and magnetic voice, as if sending a faint virgin fragrance, making people feel an imperceptible, warm and silent charm, a kind of subtle and unrevealed, There's also a little shy tenderness, something that's hard to put into words, but it's going to make people's hearts pound, it's going to stir up some kind of emotion, of course! It provokes more than cowardice.

Li Qing suddenly put his arm around her fragrant shoulder and kissed her cherry lips heavily, Li Jingyan turned around, her lips touched, and she suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and she was lost in the most wonderful paradise that she stepped into for the first time in her life.

"Li Lang, you marry me!" Li Jingyan hugged him tightly, her voice trembling, with a hint of crying.

Li Jingyan's words were like a stick, and a stick woke Li Qing up.

He didn't speak, but silently helped Li Jingyan up from the water and sat on the bluestone.

"You. . .

Li Jingyan felt his coldness, grabbed his arm, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, and finally she cried.

Li Qing sighed, looked up at the full moon in the sky, and said after a while: "Shocking Yan, if I marry you, what will I do with the curtain?" Can you be a concubine? ”

Li Jingyan's eyes flashed with tears, and she blurted out: "If I don't want any name, as long as I follow you, are you willing to accept me?" ”

Li Qing suddenly felt a sour nose and a little moist eyes, he gently draped her over his face and wet his hair, and took off his coat to cover her, "Don't say stupid things, you are the county lord, how can the county lord marry without a name." ”

Li Jingyan slowly straightened her waist, her eyes were red, her face reflected the brilliance of holiness, she shook her head firmly, "Li Lang, you are wrong, as long as I can follow you, I would rather not have the identity of this county lord, not to say that it is a concubine, even if I don't have any name, I am willing!" ”

"You. . .

At this time, there was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and Li Jingyan's personal maid shouted in panic and anxiety, Li Jingyan let go of Li Qing's hand, but pounced into his arms again, hugged him around the neck and kissed him heavily, and whispered twice, "Li Lang!" Li Lang! ”

Then tears rained down, and he turned and ran ashore, and soon disappeared into the night.

.

Seeing Li Jingyan being hugged into the carriage by five or other maids, the carriage was gone, Li Qing was unable to sit on the boulder, looking down at the water and the lonely moon, his heart was like numbness, and for the first time he had a feeling of powerlessness.
