Chapter 149: Sour Rotten Literati
Early the next morning, Zhang Fuheng really sent someone to send an invitation, and 'warmly' invited Li Qian to go to Yiranju three days later, that is, on the tenth day of the first month of this month, to participate in the so-called 'poetry meeting' he initiated.
In this regard, Li Qian naturally refused, and then ignored it.
Coincidentally, Liu Ruyan also sent someone to spread the word and invited Li Qian to swim in the lake in the afternoon. The difference is that this time Li Daguan agreed very happily, which made Sun Mao keep secretly scolding him back and forth in his heart, valuing sex and ignoring friends, having the opposite sex and being inhumane------
Li Qiancai ignored his slanderous words, and happily went to the appointment in the afternoon.
There is no way, he really has nothing to do on weekdays, and the last link of Zhao Peng's case is only secretly handed over to Xu Jie in full swing, so there is no reason to casually refuse the invitation of the beauty.
At least, he still regarded Liu Ruyan as a relatively ordinary friend in his heart.
Yang Qing and Shen Tianyou are now going to Jingshi, Li Qian really doesn't have a few friends to chat with in this Hangzhou city, as for the invitations of those literati, they are mostly entertainment-like gatherings, and they also have to recite poems and dance and ink, which is really sour, and he really has no intention of joining in the fun.
In fact, Li Qian was not completely defenseless against Liu Ruyan, otherwise he would not have kept Sun Mao in the private room last night.
However, in his heart, he is still willing to believe that Liu Ruyan will not harm him, although Chunfeng Xiaolou may have some connection with the Zhao family, but it is not enough to overturn a boatload of people with a rod and generalize all the people involved. After all, Liu Ruyan was also an innocent victim in the previous Oiran combing incident, and she is still labeled as Zhao Yuanwai's exclusive label.
It's just that some episodes in the TV movies in the previous life are not all fabricated exaggerations, and it is not impossible for a weak woman to be persecuted to harm herself in this feudal era, so the necessary precautions must be taken, but it is not so that she will hide at home all day long and dare not go out because of choking.
Thinking of this, Li Qian couldn't help but secretly laugh at himself: "What's going on?" It's like being persecuted paranoia, I always feel that there are always villains who want to harm me, and I make every day a soldier, and my life can't get by? ”
"Li Gongzi?"
A woman's pleasant call pulled Li Qian back from his trance, raised his head and smiled and greeted Liu Ruyan's master and servant.
Liu Ruyan's dress today looks a little weird in Li Qian's eyes, not as flowery as she usually sees, but it is not much different from the maid Liu'er beside her.
She didn't wear any jewelry today, only a crown of soaphorn on her head, and she wore a plain cotton dress and a russet gown, which was far from the dress of ordinary women when they went out, but Rao was so, and under the backdrop of that upside-down delicate face and beautiful figure, it still attracted the attention of many men around.
"Li Gongzi has something on his mind today?" Liu Ruyan saw that he was looking at himself and didn't feel distracted, he couldn't help but feel strange secretly, and said that he didn't show such an unbearable appearance when they met for the first time, could it be because today's makeup is more in line with his appetite?
"Huh? Worry? What can I think about? ”
Li Qian came back to his senses and laughed haha, but in his heart, he already knew the little doubts about Fang Cai. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, all Lehu must wear a green headscarf and a red shirt around his waist when he goes out, and he is not allowed to walk in the middle of the street, but can only walk on both sides. If a woman in a green house is a woman, she is not allowed to wear gold and silver when she goes out, she can only bring a soaphorn crown, and she must wear a russet jacket on her body------
At this time, it was still the Hongwu period, so the control in all aspects was not strict, and many laws were far from being like waste paper in the late Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the arrogant Qingqi people rarely go out, but Liu Ruyan is an exception, and he actually took the initiative to invite himself to come to the West Lake to play.
Liu Ruyan saw that his words were perfunctory, so he didn't ask any more questions, but Liu Er next to him interjected at this time: "Hmph, you still said no, just now my young lady called you three times------
"Liu'er, don't be rude!" Liu Ruyan reprimanded at the right time, and the brutal little girl reluctantly shut up.
Li Qian wouldn't bother with this little girl, he had a good impression of Liu'er, so he didn't resent the other party arguing with him. It was because he listened to Liu Er's words that he couldn't help but turn around and glared at Sun Mao fiercely.
This grandson didn't even remind himself, he was too undutiful!
Sun Mao looked ahead, and ignored his eyes very uncooperatively, which made Li Qian want to whip him on the spot, but he couldn't beat ------ Xing, you have kung fu, you are powerful, you can't afford to provoke, I won't worry about you for the time being!
There is a boat on the shore for a long time, the hull is very large, and the decoration is very delicate and beautiful, and the rear cabin is built with two floors, like a giant building floating on the water, I think it should be a special painting boat under the name of Yixiaolou.
Li Qian boarded the painting boat and followed Liu Ruyan, who was familiar with the master, and came to a cabin.
As soon as he saw the decorations in the cabin, Li Qian knew that he was not bad, this was indeed the painting boat of Yixiao Building, all the entertainment facilities were readily available, and there was a special person waiting outside.
At this moment, Li Qian had to start thinking about expenses.
Such a cost is really expensive, just thinking about it makes the flesh hurt, so who should this trip to the lake be?
Although Liu Ruyan took the initiative to invite, theoretically he doesn't need to pay money, but as a man, especially the son-in-law of a big family, if he comes out to drink flower wine and find a girl who is unwilling to spend money, it will inevitably seem too small-minded------ it is difficult to be a man, and it is even more difficult to be a rich and handsome!
"It seems that the next time I encounter this kind of thing, I have to think about whether to refuse it directly." Li Qian thought to himself in his heart.
The wine and food were served, but Li Qian was not in a hurry to move the chopsticks, he looked at it for a while with a glass of wine, and he didn't see any doorway, and then his hand shook slightly, and some wine spilled out of the cup and fell on the deck.
Seeing his move, Liu Ruyan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help frowning slightly, and said in his heart that the boat was driving quite steadily------
Of course, Li Qian did it intentionally, because he heard from Sun Mao last night that if arsenic was poured into the wine, it would react if it fell to the ground------
But at this time, he was a little puzzled, and said in his heart whether Sun Mao's statement was reliable? If that's what he says, is the deck just as blistered as the floor?
But this is just a matter of curiosity, Sun Mao is on the side, if the wine is really poisoned, even if it is not the common arsenic, he should have discovered it a long time ago, and it is not his turn to do so much------
Well, it's not toxic, so it's safe to drink.
Of course, Sun Mao also told him that the common lethal poison is arsenic, and if it is something that cannot be quickly killed, such as sweat medicine, which is easy to mix with alcohol, it is more difficult to find it.
However, in this regard, the experienced Jinyiwei still has some solutions, so Li Qian is not worried.
Of course, Li Qian also noticed Liu Ruyan's reaction, but at this time, he smiled and explained: "I got up early today for morning exercises, and I accidentally injured my arm. ”
For a very lame reason, Liu Ruyan obviously didn't believe it, but still asked with concern: "Have you ever asked Lang Zhong to see it?" ”
"I've seen it, and it's a minor injury, and it's good to recuperate for two days." Li Qian said casually, then changed the topic and asked, "By the way, did you know how to dance with the sword weapon last night?" ”
"It turns out that Childe likes to watch sword dances!" Liu Ruyan was a little surprised when she heard this, and then said with a smile: "This is like smoke, no, I didn't prepare for it today------
Li Qian waved his hand and said: "It's okay, other shows are not bad, as long as it is the performance of the girl like smoke, I like it." ”
"That's the slave's honor." Liu Ruyan asked curiously: "Does Childe still know martial arts?" ”
"No, it's just a little interested." Li Qian was telling the truth, he was indeed very interested in martial arts in this era, after all, when he was a teenager, he admired Bruce Lee very much. Although I know that the martial arts I have seen before are exaggerated, the ancients should also have some real kung fu, and Song Zhong, Sun Mao and others are the best examples.
"The girls in our building don't know any martial arts, it's just a show." Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "It's not as good as the jugglers who run the rivers and lakes outside." ”
"I don't think so, do I?" Li Qian joked casually: "In the past, there was a beautiful woman Gongsun clan, and when she danced her sword and moved the Quartet------ wouldn't Aunt Gongsun know martial arts?" ”
"The slave family doesn't know, we haven't seen Aunt Gongsun's sword dance, and when we first learned this, no one came to teach us martial arts!"
"Yes." Li Qian nodded and said with a smile: "Poetry will inevitably be exaggerated, if it is more credible to say that Taibai knows martial arts, it is a person who studied under Pei Min, the sword saint of the Tang Dynasty, and there must be real kung fu." ”
"Childe is really strange, the literati next to him won't talk about this with anyone."
"They are clear, chanting all day long, moaning without illness, and those who like to talk can smell a sour and rancid smell from afar."
Flutter ------
Liu Ruyan made him laugh at this, and covered his mouth with one hand and said: "If Childe's words are heard, it will be amazing." ”
"What are you afraid of, I'm also a reader."
"Aren't you scolding yourself?"
"It seems to be oh ------" Li Qian patted his head, pretending to have just reacted, which made Liu Ruyan tremble with laughter, that is, even Sun Mao on the side couldn't help laughing at the moment, and the maid Liu'er was even more unbearable, she had already covered her stomach and smiled.
Of course, Liu Ruyan could see that he was joking, but no one dared to say those words so openly before, after all, literati have the right to speak in this era, and ordinary people are not willing to offend them like this, they will be drowned in saliva.
Li Qian did not have prejudices against all literati, in fact, there were many literati who were worthy of admiration, and what he disliked was just some pedantic literati.
And these people are still gathered in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is just a matter of influencing the social atmosphere, and some have even reached the level of calamity to the country and the people, how can they not take the opportunity to satirize them?
They claimed to be disciples of saints, but they were stunned to learn the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and took Zhu Xi's set of science as a holy book, and they were embarrassed to put gold on their faces, saying that they studied Confucianism and regarded themselves as gentlemen?
Not to mention anything else, just the six arts of gentlemen, how many things are left of today's literati?
Most of the literati before the Song Dynasty were both civil and military, and there were not so many weak scholars in the group.
Confucius is not a weak scholar, nor is Kong Ming, and Li Bai is even more not.
Li Qian has always felt that the reason why the Confucian culture of later generations has been misinterpreted and criticized so much is actually in the bodies of these so-called 'Confucian students'------.
Of course, Li Qian naturally will not preach these tirades with Liu Ruyan, and the topics of communication between men and women do not need to be so in-depth, and some aspects may be.
It is said that Qingxi Lake is not as good as Yuxi Lake, and Li Qian's luck today is good, and he only sat in the cabin for a short time before encountering a burst of rain.
The rain is not strong, falling thinly in this picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, the West Lake under the mist and rain, like a virgin with a veil on her face, quietly blooms her peerless smile, which makes the visitors intoxicated, many literati and have been poetry (Sao) flourishing, and began to chant and chant to this green mountain and green water, and splashed ink.
Li Qian didn't bother to recite poems, because in addition to copying, he really couldn't come up with very good original poems, so could it be difficult to come up with a sentence "West Lake, you are all water"?
West Lake: "??? ”
------
Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the sound of silk and bamboo is in the ears, the beauty dances lightly, and when the rain stops, the sky has fallen into twilight, and Li Daguan returns with seven or eight points of wine.
Liu Ruyan also took his own carriage and horse when he came, so he didn't need Li Qian to send him off, but on the way back, the two of them were on the same road, so the carriage and horse ran slowly on the road one after the other.
When he was taking a nap in the carriage, he suddenly heard a noisy human voice, as well as the crisp sound of horses' hooves in front of him, the sound of the horsewhip breaking through the air, and the sound of the wheels rolling violently.
Li Qian frowned, and when he was about to ask, the man driving in the front of the car had already shouted urgently: "Young master, sit down quickly, there is a driver in front of us rushing towards us, I'm afraid I won't stop------"
Sun Mao's eyelids beside him jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously thought that someone wanted to stab Li Qian on the street, and the muscles of his whole body tensed.
He quickly lifted the curtain and looked out, and after seeing the situation ahead, a hanging heart quietly fell back a little, and said loudly: "The car should have hit someone, so he wanted to flee the scene regardless of it------
At this time, the coachman had already turned his horse's head to the side, and was about to avoid the car flying in front of him, but Li Qian behind him shouted coldly: "Don't hide, hit me into it." ”
"What ?!!" Sun Mao exclaimed in surprise, turned his head to look at him and said, "Are you crazy? ”
"I'm sober, bump into me and stop this bastard!"
The coachman, who was accustomed to obeying orders, let him roar, and he had already subconsciously chosen to obey, and only when he reacted did he secretly complain, this is not going to kill him!
However, he was clever, and at the moment before the collision between the two carriages and horses, he had already yelled "The young master let me hide", and rolled into the carriage with his head in his hands.
Seeing that the two carriages were about to collide, the crowd of onlookers were all stunned, staring at them with wide eyes, and even forgetting to scream and exclaim for a while.
Closer, closer, and in a thousandth of a second, four mules and horses pulling the cart neighed and crashed into one place.
Rumble------
Both cars were flipped to the ground almost simultaneously, and one of the wheels flew off. The scene suddenly became even more chaotic, with the neighing of mules and horses, the screams and screams of the belated crowd, and the intermingling of all kinds of noises.
