Chapter 40: Speaking of Painful Feet

"Brother Mei Village, your song "Quarry Rock" is excellent, how dare I discuss it in vain?" Zheng Hao smiled and waved his hand.

He thought to himself, still, don't hit Wu Weiye.

This great poet in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, although he had a brief appearance in the Qing Dynasty and was called a second minister by later generations, but, strictly speaking, Wu Meicun's character is still good, and most of his poems are worried about the country and the people and the world, and can be called an excellent realist poet.

Therefore, Zheng Hao's impression of Wu Weiye is not bad.

Zheng Hao does not intend to oppose such a person, and if necessary, he should also be pulled over for his own use.

"Brother Zheng Xian, Brother Yu is sincerely asking for advice, and please give me some advice." Wu Weiye arched his hand again and said with a serious face.

"Brother Xian, if you have any suggestions, you might as well say it, Brother Meicun is not the one who can't listen to people's words, if your suggestions are to the point, maybe he will thank you!" At this time, Mao Bijiang also said on the side.

Mao Bijiang is Wu Weiye's best friend for many years.

After the death of the Ming Dynasty, the two often corresponded and paid each other.

The friendship between the two is deep.

When Zheng Hao heard what Mao Bijiang said, he said with a smile: "That is the case, Brother Meicun, then I will be offended." ”

"Brother Zheng Xian, please advise." Wu Weiye said.

Although he insisted on asking Zheng Hao for advice, in his heart, he was a little dismissive of Zheng Hao.

How much depth of thought can a teenage child have, and what deep understanding can he have about this era? Or did he really understand his own poem?

Zheng Hao sighed for a while and said: "Brother Meicun's "Quarry Rock" has the meaning of borrowing from the past to satirize the present! Thinking about the time when I was the most powerful, there were many famous generals, fierce like clouds, no matter how difficult it was to pull out and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be overcome in one drum, but more than 200 years have passed, why the scenery of this quarry rock is the same as before, and the situation of my dynasty has declined to such an unbearable point, it is really regrettable! This should be obvious to everyone, right? ”

Zheng Hao first clarified the deep meaning of Wu Weiye's poem "Quarry Rock", and fully affirmed this poem.

Then, he changed his words and said: "It's just that Brother Meicun's poetry refining skills are still slightly lacking, and the whole poem does not have eye-catching sentences, that is, the lack of aphorisms, which greatly affects the possibility of it becoming a classic!" ”

"Another flaw in this poem is that the meaning of the past and the present is too deeply hidden, and it is estimated that many people will not feel the good intentions of Brother Mei Village."

"Of course, I'm just talking about it, please forgive me if I say something wrong."

After Zheng Hao finished speaking, he hugged his fist towards Wu Meicun.

"Brother Hao's argument is very reasonable, the predecessors on poetry, are heavy on the scrutiny of the words, sometimes every word and sentence have to go through the years and months of hard meditation, and then to get the natural carving of excellent verses, for example, the former Song Dynasty poet Song Qi filled in a poem Yulou Chun, which has a sentence 'red apricot branches spring trouble', which has been widely praised and become a classic of lyricists, Song Qi is also known as 'red apricot branch spring trouble', just because of this sentence, a 'trouble' word is used well, but he is famous through the ages." Bian Yujing said with a smile on the side.

"It's hard to find a good sentence!" Yin An one word, cut off a few stems and whiskers', the great poets of the past dynasties, indeed the most important words, we still need to work hard in this regard. Mao Bijiang also smiled.

"Since ancient times, a poet has been chanting, a good poem, it is really not so easy to make, although there is no aphorism in Brother Meicun's "Quarry Rock", but it can be regarded as an excellent poem. After all, good poems and good sentences have almost been discovered by predecessors, and it is difficult to come up with something new and surprising! Zhou Shimao also shook his head.

Wu Meicun heard Zheng Hao's comments, but was shocked.

He didn't expect that Zheng Hao could really talk about his sore feet.

Wu Meicun got up and waved at Zheng Hao, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xian's criticism is very right!" This quarry rock is indeed a missing brilliant epigram, which cannot be eye-catching! And the second point you said, which is also very good, is that I am too cautious, looking ahead and backward, lest I get into trouble, so I hide the meaning of the needle and the disadvantages so deeply. ”

Zheng Hao smiled in his heart.

Many of Wu Meicun's poems are very obscure.

This is naturally not unrelated to his personality.

He is really not bold enough, and he is a little cowardly by nature, which is why Bian Yujing has been in love with him for many years in real history, but he has not been able to achieve a positive result.

He didn't dare to ask for Bian Yujing, just because there were rumors at that time that Chongzhen was going to choose a concubine, and Bian Yujing was among the candidates!

Hearing the news, Wu Meicun was frightened.

Just kidding! Fighting for a woman with the emperor, is this a long life?

So, he avoided Bian Yujing everywhere, and didn't dare to have any response to this strange woman's pursuit.

And then the egg! The so-called Chongzhen's selection of concubines or something, it's just a rumor, it's not like that at all! It was Wu Meicun's cowardice that led to the tragedy of Bian Yujing's life.

Bian Yujing was later unable to be accepted by Wu Meicun, so he became a monk, and the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha was alive.

And the reason why Wu Weiye was not guaranteed to be late in the Qing Dynasty was also frightened by blood, and he did not dare to stiffen his neck to resist the conscription of the Qing court.

Zheng Hao was a little contemptuous of this.

After Zheng Hao commented on Wu Meicun's poem, his heart suddenly moved, he thought to himself, there are three famous literati in the south of the Yangtze River here, if he wants to gain fame, this is a good opportunity!

When he thought of this, he smiled and said: "I read some history books a few days ago, and suddenly I had some understandings, and now there is a song of seven laws, my brother wants to offer ugliness, write it and ask my brothers to criticize it, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

He's going to copy poetry again.

Last time, I copied a song by Cao Xueqin, and this word was too soft.

It's too sad.

Crying and crying, the style is easy to be criticized.

Zheng Hao felt that he should change his style immediately.

"Yikes! Does Brother Hao want to make the Seven Laws? Foolish brother admires it so much! Come on, offer pen, ink, paper, inkstone! Bian Yujing's mouth opened slightly, very surprised.

The rhythm of the lyric poem is stricter, but it is more difficult than the quatrain.

Beginners generally don't challenge poetry.

Wu Weiye heard Zheng Hao say that he had a feeling when he read history recently, and suddenly got a poem and had to write it in public, he also said with a smile: "The virtuous brother is amazingly talented, and the foolish brother is waiting to read the masterpiece." ”

"Brother Xian's words are well filled, and the poems must be good, I can't look forward to it!" Mao Bijiang said with a smile.

Zhou Shimao also expressed his expectations.

After a while, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were delivered, and they were placed on the case next to them.

Bian Yujing personally studied ink for Zheng Hao.

Wu Weiye and Mao Bijiang laid out a piece of paper for Zheng Hao.

After the ink was polished, Zheng Hao picked up the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "Then I will be ugly." ”
