Chapter 119: Fight to Fame
Liu Jingwen really has something important to ask Ma Bei to drive, he just came back from Yangzhou and he didn't even care about resting and held this meeting, precisely because Ma Bei likes to drive here. As for the thousands of miles away, please go to Yangzhou, naturally it is also for the sake of throwing horses.
Because of the horse, Liu Jingwen took a lot of effort for this literary meeting, and in order to achieve perfection, he did not hesitate to find his aunt and cousin Liu Suifeng who was far away in Yunxi County, and he could also see the depth of his intentions from this detail.
It should be said that the arrangement of this meeting is indeed successful, the garden is famous for a long time, the scenery is quiet, it is a good place for the literati to gather, and the chrysanthemum platform selected by Liu Suifeng is a pavilion, a continent, a flower, a water, and a special way of rafting and leading, it should be said that this meeting is extremely "colorful" from the site selection to the theme, and then to the means of inviting guests, which can be seen from the smile "Yin" and "Yin" face "color" when Ma Bei drove on the chrysanthemum platform on the sandbank.
The destruction of Liu Jingwen's good mood is because of three things, first of all, Guan Guan's poems and poems, as the guest of honor at this literary meeting, Ma Beicai should be the object of Guan Guan's eyebrows, not the little-known teenager below. Since this accident, Liu Jingwen has painfully found that the originally planned and well-arranged literary meeting has completely changed its taste.
The Wenhui suddenly changed its tune, and the Wenhui that was originally arranged for the sake of throwing horses and driving turned out to be where Tang Cheng shined alone, as for Ma Beijia, how embarrassing and how to come, when the poem was written with the same title, the damn little bitch of Guan Guan came out again, and when he heard the little bitch singing the verse "Let others praise more" in the center of the chrysanthemum platform, Liu Jingwen really had the heart to strangle Guan to death.
But this is not the end of the pain, when Tang Cheng stood up, especially when he and Ma Biejia began to argue, Liu Jingwen's head was about to explode, and at this point, he finally had to admit bitterly. The conference initiated by him is simply absurd and extremely wrong.
"I am an ancestor of his eighth generation, and the crack in the stone is not tightly plugged, and a Tang Cheng jumps out", as the debate on the sandbar became deeper and deeper, the voices of both sides became louder and louder, Liu Jingwen's brows became tighter and tighter, and the literary meeting in front of him had already evolved into a kind of torture for him, and now it is the peak of this torture.
Liu Jingwen's purpose in arranging this cultural meeting was really to get away with the horses. But the current actual effect has become Tang Cheng's fame, and the most unacceptable thing for Liu Jingwen is that Tang Cheng's fame is in the same vein as the embarrassment and discomfort of Ma Beijia. Tang Cheng's every show of talent was accompanied by an embarrassment of Ma Beijia, and the development of the situation has now become a stepping stone for Tang Cheng to become famous in the Jinzhou literary circle.
Looking at the face of the horse on the chrysanthemum platform that began to turn blue, Liu Jingwen was extremely helpless and lamented in his heart: "Heaven and earth conscience, I really don't want to invite Tang Cheng to participate in this literary meeting!" ”。
Ignoring Liu Jingwen's depression, the guests who came to participate in the meeting on Shazhou were now full of excitement. It's an eye-opener, it's an eye-opener! I didn't expect that a "Analects" that he had been reciting and learning since he was a child would be able to discern such a new meaning in Tang Cheng's mouth, and his way of thinking about interpreting the scriptures and the entry point of analyzing the scriptures were purely unheard of and unseen for the scribes. At first glance, I heard the unbelievable, but this unbelievable argument was not from nonsense, so Tang Cheng and every sentence and every point could lead to the judgment of the former sages as evidence, and he thought about it along his train of thought. The more the scribes thought about it, the more reasonable they felt, and at least the words "self-justifying" were all right.
"Wu Na boy, help me get pen and ink", a scribe's action caused a "tide", and the other scribes who were listening with great interest also asked for pen and paper to make notes, and for a time only the busy hands of the serving boys were "chaotic".
This garden has also held several cultural meetings, and it is not once or twice that these clever boys have participated in the service of the cultural meeting, how have they ever seen such a scene. What's wrong with these scribes?
Although the heart is doubtful, but the boys have no room to stay, trotting to get the pen and ink prepared in advance, one of them in the study to serve the boy saw the scene in front of him, and suddenly remembered the little story that the master told when reciting the six dynasties Zuo Si "Sandu Fu", Luoyang or something, right! It's Luoyang paper is expensive, isn't this scene a little like the Luoyang paper that the master is talking about?
Holding a pen and paper in his hand. The boy who was shuttling among the chrysanthemums turned his head to look at Tang Cheng, who was talking eloquently. With the experience of serving several cultural associations, this little boy clearly felt it. The literary world in Jinzhou is ruthless again, tomorrow, no, just after today's literary meeting is dispersed, this Tang Chengdi name will definitely spread among the scholars in the interior of the state city.
No one paid attention to the feelings of this little boy, many of them were refreshing, and the scribes who were eager to record it would not, and Tang Cheng naturally would not, and now he was officially in a moment of high excitement.
When Ma Beijia couldn't help but make a move, Tang Cheng was really excited, after all, he could make a face-to-face move! But at the same time, it is inevitable to be apprehensive at the same time, after Fu Shi lost face, since Ma Beijia decided to take action in person, needless to say, he must use his best means, as a Ming Jingke, what else can he be best at?
Debate with a person who is a scholar of the Ming Classics, no matter how arrogant Tang Cheng is, he will inevitably have no bottom in his heart!
What he didn't expect was that the subject chosen by Ma Beijia would be "The Analects", and when he heard the title of this book, Tang Cheng's face did not move, but he really had the urge to look up to the sky and roar in his heart. Old horse, old horse, you're so fucking face-saving!
If he chooses a few of the articles in the Four Books and Five Classics, even if he can resist a little with what he has learned after crossing over, he is destined not to be the opponent of Ma Beijia, but when it comes to the Analects, this has a chance to fight.
In later generations, when Tang Cheng went to university, it coincided with the rise of education reform in colleges and universities across the country, and one of the policies of this "tide" was that doctoral supervisors and master's supervisors could not only focus on academic research, but also must teach undergraduates.
The old gentleman who taught Tang Cheng was a doctoral supervisor specializing in the pre-Qin period, and the main direction of his research was the Analects, which of course refers not only to the chapters and sentences themselves, but also to the history of the Analects for more than 2,000 years.
Regarding the interpretation of the Analects and the disputes in the study of the Analects over the ages, the thin book of 20 chapters of the Analects has been open for a year, and for Tang Cheng, a good student, this is also a course that he feels has gained the most in his four years of university life.
Harvest to harvest. It's just that what he never imagined was that the direct application of this year's harvest would be 1,300 years ago, and the object of its application would be a Ming Jing Kejin of the Tang Dynasty.
If we talk about the familiarity with the scriptures and meanings of the "Analects", Tang Cheng is naturally more difficult to match than Ma Beijia, but if we want to discuss the subtleties of the "Analects", how can Ma Beijia compare with Tang Cheng, who has 2,000 years of research history knowledge?
For example, the interpretation of "gentleman" in the Analects, and then the understanding of "benevolence" and the understanding of "sage". In the Tang Dynasty, even if he worked hard, his research results could not surpass the times, but Tang Cheng jumped out of the times, only in terms of the analysis and understanding of the Analects, the level of the two is not on the same platform at all.
Although the debate continued, the results could already be seen from the attitudes of the scribes in the audience. Although no one will say it directly because of the identity of the old horse, this debate on the battlefield with Ma Beijia shirtless is indeed lost.
In front of everyone's eyes, there is no suspense about Ma Bei's loss, there is no chance of turning the tables when he loses, and the most important thing is that he is deadly. He lost in the subject he was best at, and he relied on to advance.
How can love be worthy, how can people be worthy!
In the Jinzhou literary circle, Ma Beijia has always been proud, and he has encountered unprecedented embarrassment, and his embarrassment has achieved the reputation of Tang Cheng after learning.
The first time he stepped into the Jinzhou literary world, Tang Cheng achieved his aura with the help of Ma Bie. From today onwards, when the literati of Jinzhou gather again, "Tang Cheng" is destined to become an unavoidable name, and with the passage of time, his reputation will also "shoot" to the surrounding area and even to the Taoist city of Xiangzhou.
Autumn is high and cool, and the chrysanthemums are in full bloom and the garden will start in joy and end in embarrassment, and the "color" of the face when the horse is driven away is the same as the sudden change of weather. gloomy, and when Liu Jingwen, as the owner, sent him, his face was as miserable as his dead relatives!
If the host and the guest of honor are already like this, how can the others be happy?
"It's the horse that you are arguing with, if you want to say that the harvest should be the greatest, the ancients died at night, and he should be happy", witnessing the old horse's face gloomy and gone. Old Master Yan sighed and said, "The official has been doing it for too long. The qi "sex" is too strong, and the horse will be called the master even though he says it. In fact, the way of the saints is far away! ”。
Old Master Yan's words made Tang Cheng, who was still in a state of excitement, speechless, "There are few people in this world who can see through fame and fortune like Mr.!" ”。
"Just as you just said, the way of the sage is to self-cultivation as the first priority, this is not good, what else can be said", the old master Yan who was talking saw someone beckoning in the chrysanthemum bush in the distance, so he took the beginning of the conversation and said: "I have an appointment with an old friend, and you will go back by yourself later, and then come to my room at night to talk about your suitable talents and good students."
Hey, this is the aftermath!
After seeing Old Master Yan go, Tang Cheng moved his gaze to Ma Beijia, who borrowed a boat to cross the water, and Liu Jingwen was constantly talking behind him in the same boat.
The same environment, the same boat, the same people, but at this time, the horse no longer had the suitability to come by the boat at the beginning, thinking of the dilemma that the old horse was choked by himself just now, and thinking of the dark and low face when he left, Tang Cheng only felt that the breath that had been depressed in his heart for a long time finally completely spit out.
The spear of the general, the shield of the attacker, the old horse, the old horse, you should also know how depressing it is to be powerless to fight back!
It didn't take long for Tang Cheng to sigh, and after sending off the horse, some scribes took turns to come up to greet him, which was different from the greetings introduced by Old Master Yan before the start of the literary meeting, at this time these scribes were obviously polite and much more affectionate.
"Yes, definitely, definitely".
"If you can ask Brother Su to break the bank, and learn after you are born later, it should be me who buys wine and asks Brother Su for benefits."
"What Brother Zhao said is that the interpretation of this sentence in the "Shu Er" article is very debatable, tomorrow? Well, there are indeed some trivial things to be busy with tomorrow, and after these few days, the post-school will come to the door in person to ask for advice, good, gentleman."
Compared with the more realistic swords and pen officials in the state government, the literati who have been accompanied by poetry and books since childhood are obviously much simpler, although there are also many scribes who go away because of anger and avoid Tang Cheng, but there are also many scribes who do not shy away from this and come to make a contract with Tang Cheng.
This greeting was busy for a while, until most of the scribes were taken away by the boat. Tang Cheng slowly calmed down.
It was only at this time that Liu, who was dressed in white and snowy, came over with the wind, followed by Ma Bei who didn't even say hello when he left.
"Brother Tang became famous in a fight, congratulations!" , Liu Suifeng tied his hand and led Guan Guan to Tang Cheng's side while speaking, "Brother Tang don't forget that year's appointment!" ”。
"It's nature".
Hearing this, Liu Suifeng didn't say anything more, and a boy came to guide the two of them to board the boat.
Xu is unbearable the coolness of the autumn breeze on the water. Guan Guan's body leaned towards Tang Cheng slightly, as the convention of the Wenhui at that time, at least on this night, she belonged to the poet Tang Cheng.
From Yangzhou to Jinzhou, from the twenty-four bridges on a bright moon night to the chrysanthemum platform where flowers are in full bloom, looking at the high-spirited man beside him, Guan Guan felt that everything he had done just now was worth it, so afraid
She offended Liu Jingwen for this. It is destined that this trip to Golden State can only be fruitless.
Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and leaned over to close the pass, her waist was really slender and delicate, "Is it cold?" ”。
Guan Guan didn't speak, he shook his head with a light smile, but his body snuggled tighter into Tang Cheng's arms.
In autumn, the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered. The green mountains in the distance are faint, the boat is under the lake, Tang Cheng, who is standing long, and Guan Guan in his arms step on the boat, witnessing this situation. The boy who led the boat had a word in his heart that his master often liked to say.
Talented and beautiful!
Out of the park, the two boarded the carriage, the coachman Lao Li glanced at Guan Guan in surprise, but he didn't say anything, as he raised his whip and shouted, the carriage went straight to the state city in the sound of chariots.
Even though he had already gotten into the carriage, Guan Guan still hugged Tang Cheng tightly as if he couldn't bear the cold.
"I heard that Liu Jingwen promised a lot of money to invite you here, and this time I hurt you." At this point, Tang Cheng hesitated for a moment and then said: "Ma Don't drive this person is not very popular, should he?" ”。
Guan Guan has been in the party for a long time, and there is no need to say the kung fu of observing words and observing "color", although Tang Cheng's words have not been finished, she understands the meaning.
"He really isn't a person who only thinks about his own affection", Guan Guan thought about this, and a warmth surged from the bottom of his heart. Leaning on Tang Cheng's arm, he shook his head gently. Said with a light smile: "Ma Beijia is a person with status, no matter what he thinks in his heart." But they won't come forward to embarrass me."
This Tang Cheng can understand that although Lao Ma has little energy, he doesn't want others to say this about him. His identity is too sensitive, and the gap between him and the customs is too far, even if he has a heart, it is not easy to care.
This is especially true after the Wenhui incident, "Although Ma Beijia is so, after all, there is still Liu Jingwen here."
"Ma Bei is disdainful, and it's not easy to deal with me, but Liu Jingwen doesn't dare", when Guan Guan said this, his smile was already a little more self-harming, "Although my life is as cheap as an ant, but thanks to the gift of my son, it has been popular in recent months, so it is a cash cow of the Teaching Workshop Division!" I was originally an official "prostitute" affiliated with the Yangzhou Teaching Division, and this body belonged to the Yangzhou Mansion, and when Liu Jingwen invited me to come, his identity and place of origin were all prepared for the case, if something happened to my cash cow in Jinzhou, he couldn't afford it, so even if he hated me to the core, he wouldn't dare to do anything, and he just gave up some money."
It seems that after today's incident, Tang Cheng naturally won't ignore Guan Guan, but with such a solution, it is much simpler than he thought, "That's good!" Liu Jingwen promised you how much money I have, and I will make up for it all."
"If it's for money, why do I need to be like this", Guan Guan's voice was faint, and after saying this, he sank slightly, leaning on Tang Cheng's shoulder, she hummed a tune quietly.
Tang Cheng listened carefully, and Guan Guan whispered "chanting" to sing the song and poem on the twenty-fourth bridge that night:
The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered in autumn. On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, where does the jade teach.
Guan Guan obviously fell into some kind of inexplicable emotion, and with his eyes slightly closed, he sang in a shallow "groan" with a strong affection and deep memory.
At this time, Guan Guan was covered with dust, and her face with her eyes closed was full of purity that she had never seen before, and in Tang Cheng's eyes, she looked like the little sister next door who whispered about her life vision in the future life.
Tang Cheng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand and hugged Guan Guan, he hugged it very lightly, but very attentively.
After the shallow "chanting" is over. When he opened his eyes again, Guan Guan showed a bright smile, "Tang Cheng, aren't you also a sword and pen officer?" Master Ma is a master of the state."
Tang Cheng returned her a reassuring smile, "It's okay, I can handle it."
Jinzhou said that it is not small, but it is not big, and today's Wenhui will soon spread, and the state government has always been the most well-informed. What made Tang Cheng extremely depressed a few days ago was not Ma Beijia's suppression, but his suppression was completely unable to fight back. But after today's events. But it is tantamount to making the contradiction between the two public, and if Ma Beijia takes the liberty of putting small shoes on Tang Cheng again, and does not say other people's opinions and discussions, even Tang Cheng himself has everything to say.
If you are not completely sure, don't tear people's faces at will! After Yao Dongqi's incident, Tang Cheng never forgot Zhao Laohu's words, but obeying the law does not mean being bound by the law, and he doesn't drive the horse that doesn't leave him any face. Suo "sex" will tear the face and face bloody in front of everyone, whether it is to vomit the depression in the chest or protect the whole body, or can receive miraculous results.
As for retaliation, there will definitely be, but at least after a period of buffering. At least Tang Cheng didn't have to endure the depression he had a few days ago.
Since the contradiction between the two is irreconcilable, although Tang Cheng is unwilling, he will not be afraid of this retaliation, some destined things will always come. If this is known,
And why make yourself too aggrieved.
It's not that you can't bear it, it's not that you can't bend, but the purpose of bending is to stretch, and the purpose of forbearance is to make it! Otherwise, why do you need to endure it, why do you need to endure it?
After hearing Tang Cheng's words, Guan Guan didn't ask any more questions, and talked about what he had seen and heard along the way. Not long after Tang Cheng returned to Yangzhou, what Guan Guan said was exactly what he saw when he came back, and bursts of happy laughter broke out from time to time in the carriage between gossips.
It was between this joke that Lao Li drove the carriage into the Jinzhou City Gate, and when he heard the noise outside, Guan Guan lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it and said in a low voice: "I have brought a few good teas to Jinzhou, and now I am in the guest house of Wanfulou, Tang Cheng, do you want to taste it?" ”。 When it comes to this. Guan Guan's slightly lowered face suddenly flushed.
"Even the flowers in the backyard bloom and make it", this sentence seems to be still in the ear. But the current Guan Guan is like two people who met for the first time at that time.
"You and I met in Yangzhou, but we can meet again in Jinzhou, how rare is such a geographical law, and drinking tea is too light."
"You have to drink your own drinks."
"Of course I want to drink, but it's not in the inn", Tang Cheng smiled and lifted the curtain of the car and said, "Lao Li, go home."
Guan Guan was surprised, "Go home?" ”。
"Yes, go home!".
In the stunned eyes of the old man in the porter, Tang Cheng pulled Guan Guan into the door, if it weren't for him holding him hand in hand, he was afraid that Guan Guan, who was emotionally nervous, would not even take a step inside.
"Tang Cheng, you let go of me, let go!".
"What? What you promised just now wasn't quite simple, don't worry", Tang Cheng said, and he didn't let go of his hand at all.
In the backyard, after hearing the familiar sound of footsteps, the bluegrass who was busy in the yard quickly greeted the things in her hand, "Ah Cheng", just this sentence, after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, the bluegrass was silent, and then, the expression on her face became strange after suddenly stiffening.
And the reaction of the blue grass is almost exactly the same as that of Li Yingjun who came later.
"Yingjun, this is my friend Guan Guan who I met in Yangzhou", when he said the word friend, Tang Cheng deliberately accentuated his tone, "You told the good students of the Gao family to buy some wine and food."
"Friend!" , Hearing this, Li Yingjun was stunned at first, not to mention seeing such a thing with his own eyes, he had never heard of it. It took her a moment to wake up, friend! "Okay, I'll go to the stove and watch it myself, Lan Cao'er, why are you still standing stupidly and leading guests into the house."
"Oh!" , Although a little ignorant, after listening to Tang Cheng's introduction, Lan Cao's face was indeed alive again, and while he stepped forward, he silently took over Guan Guan's hand that was still being held by Tang Cheng.
After seeing the hands held by the two of them let go, Li Yingjun, who breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, walked towards the stove room.
"Friend!" , Hearing Tang Cheng's title, Guan Guan's body trembled suddenly, and his heart was first astringent, and then an unprecedented feeling came to his heart.
Li Yingjun arranged it very carefully, and the craftsmanship of the Gao family was also very good, with a lot of dishes and strong wine! Tang Cheng gently persuaded him to drink, from his words to every etiquette, he really treated Guan Guan as a respectful guest and friend.
Lancao serves carefully, Li Yingjun is diligent, everything in front of her is something Guan Guan has never experienced, although the laughter here is not as wanton as before, but there is a sincerity that she may never have experienced; Although the wine and food in front of you are not as rich and rare as Yangzhou, every dish is full of the host's affection.
At this family banquet that Guan Guan had never experienced before, she felt unprecedented respect and enthusiasm for her friends, real enthusiasm!
After the initial discomfort, Guan Guan drank a lot of wine, a lot, and I don't know if it was steamed by the wine, or because of other reasons, there were always two drops of crystal in her eyes, and finally when the song ended, these two drops of crystal slipped quietly in silence.
"The guest is drunk!" , Li Yingjun's hand under the table grabbed the blue grass that was about to take a step, "Ah Cheng, my friend is far away, you should go and send it."
"Of course", Tang Cheng turned around and pulled up the pass and helped her walk out.
"Madame!".
"If Ah Chengzhen has that heart, why bring her back", Li Yingjun smiled and nodded Lancao's forehead, "There are still a lot of things you have to learn."
Stepping into the carriage, Guan Guan, who was still drunk and hazy just now, was already full of clarity, "Ah Cheng, thank you!" ”。
"Thanks for what?" , Tang Cheng smiled when he heard this, "Don't forget that we are friends."
"Well, friend", when repeating these two words, Guan Guan's nose was inexplicably sour, and her heart suddenly became hot, and she couldn't help but hug Tang Cheng tightly.
Gently caressing Guan Guan's back, after her mood stabilized, Tang Cheng gently kissed her forehead, and said in a low voice: "This relationship has nothing to do with the wind and the moon!" ”。
