Chapter 41: Old Knowledge
Wang Yuan hurriedly raised his eyes and looked, only to see that the person under the stairs had a dark face, a tall figure, a very powerful figure, big eyes and a big mouth, a dignified appearance, and a little energetic. was bowing to Li Shizhi, but his eyes inadvertently glanced at himself.
Li Shizhi smiled and arched his hand: "Du Zhilang, why do you want to come to the Pear Blossom Poetry Club to compose poems today?" β
"Where is it, how much ink does my Yang Zhao have in his stomach, dare to get an axe in the class here? It's just to see the excitement. Yang Zhao smiled, and arched his hand and said: "Over there, accuse and accuse." β
Li Shizhi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and the official named Yang Zhao bowed respectfully and chased after the crowd in front of him.
"Yang Shenjin, Wang Jie, and Yang Zhao are all here, and today's battle is not small." Liu Xunzhi muttered softly.
Li Shizhi said coldly: "Yes, today's pear blossom poetry club has a pomp; This Yang Zhao is still on Li Linfu's side in the end, and Li Linfu's efforts in the palace are not small. β
Wang Yuan's mind flashed, and his originally somewhat confused mind suddenly became clear, and he suddenly realized that in addition to Li Linfu just now, he had seen a famous person, who was this Du Zhilang named Yang Zhao.
He is still called Yang Zhao now, and he was given the name Guozhong a few years later, and he is Yang Guozhong, who dominated the Tang Dynasty a few years later.
Li Linfu and other cadres sat in the first pavilion in the northeast, and the position of more than ten people such as Li Shizhi, the head of the southwest, was far away. Wang Yuan felt that his side seemed to be at a disadvantage in terms of lineup, because in addition to the scribes who participated in the poetry meeting, the other party also had Yang Shenjin and other important ministers of the court to help. On the other hand, except for Li Shizhi, no one is an official of the DPRK and China, and they are all people from the left prime minister's house.
Just as he was in doubt, he suddenly heard the loud welcoming servant standing on the side of the bamboo forest shouting loudly again.
"Hubu Shangshu Pei Kuan!"
Li Shiyi said happily: "Lao Pei is finally here." β
"Beihai Taishou Li Yong has arrived!" The servant's loud voice shouted another name.
The smile on Li Shizhi's face had bloomed like a flower.
"Hexi Jiedu Judge Wang Wei has arrived!"
"Yan Zhenqing has arrived in the imperial history!"
"Shangshu right Cheng Wei has seen it!"
"The second masters of the Hanlin Academy, Meng Yuanchang and Peng Xiuzhong, have arrived!"
"Chang'an Guozijian Professor Sun Zhongxian has arrived!"
"The squire of the criminal department is high!"
"Jiangning Cheng Wang Changling has arrived!"
With the sound of singing, these people seemed to have made an appointment to appear together, and appeared on the bluestone road in front of the corridor one by one. In a moment, the pear orchard became a gathering place for officials and celebrities.
Wang Yuan was a little dizzy, listening to the familiar or unfamiliar names ringing in his ears, but his eyes couldn't put them on the number, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked Liu Xun beside him in a low voice: "Which one is Wang Wei?" Who is Yan Zhenqing? Which one is Gao Shi? Who is Wang Changling? β
Liu Xun was busy beside Li Shizhi and greeted him, ignoring Wang Yuan's questioning.
The people who came were divided into two groups, and Pei Kuan and Li Yongjing, the head of the household, came from the pavilion where Li Shizhi was. Li Shizhi was also busy arranging the left and right positions, and let Pei Kuan and Li Yong sit beside him.
However, Wang Wei, the great poet Wang Wei, and Yan Zhenqing, the great calligrapher, who Wang Yuan paid the most attention to, were led to the largest pavilion in the middle and sat down. Several handmaidens immediately served tea and placed it on the spring bench beside them.
At this time, Liu Xunzhi had time to explain to Wang Yuan: "Pei Shangshu and Li Taishou were invited by the left to cheer, and the old man in cloth sitting in the middle of the pavilion in the middle is Wang Wei, the poet of the world, and the head of his left is Gao Shi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and on the right hand is Wang Changling, who is known as the Seven Absolute Holy Hands. The one who is talking to someone who is slightly chubby is the superintendent Yan Zhenqing. How? Jiro must have heard of their name. What do you think? What I told you the day before yesterday is not a lie, they are all unique figures in my Tang Dynasty poetry circle, and today they all gathered at the Pear Blossom Poetry Conference, and some of them still come to admire your name, you should be proud of it. β
Of course, Wang Yuan was excited in his heart, he didn't expect to see so many people with familiar names but never met at once today, these people are all famous in the future generations, and an inexplicable sense of happiness swelled in his heart, and he was so excited that he almost cried.
Here, Li Shizhi and Pei Kuan, Li Yong and others have been chatting enthusiastically, Pei Kuan is not loud, but firm and powerful. Although Li Yong is old, he speaks loudly, laughs heartily, and looks informal.
"Who is Wang Yuan? Stand up and teach the old man to see. Li Yong stood up and swept his eyes over the more than ten people around him.
Wang Yuan hurriedly got up and bowed his hand, Li Shizhi smiled and said: "Li Beihai can still have the name Wang Yuan in his eyes, it seems that Wang Yuan's two poems really moved you." β
Li Yong looked Wang Yuan up and down a few times and nodded: "The young man is handsome, I hope it is not a flash in the pan, those two poems are okay, but they are not good enough to make people feel great." Today's Tang Dynasty celebrities gather, if you want to be famous, it is today. Don't let us down. β
Wang Yuan promised.
Pei Kuan said quietly: "Don't put pressure on the young man, the matter of poetry and literature is not as simple as eating and, don't scare him." β
Li Yong was dissatisfied: "Lao Pei, you just love to find my mistakes, I have only returned to Chang'an for a day, you said that I have hundreds of words, and you Lao Pei don't need to sprinkle the anger in your heart on me." There is the man sitting opposite, you have the ability to go over and scold him and beat him, then I will obey you. β
Pei Kuan frowned and said, "Look at you, you're talking nonsense again." Zuo Xiang, he can't let Beihai drink today, otherwise his mouth won't be able to control it. β
Li Shizhi said with a smile: "The two of them will talk when they meet, they haven't changed for so many years, and they are still the same when they are older." What kind of system do the juniors here see? Today, we are unanimous with the outside world, but we have fought in the nest for a round. β
The crowd burst out laughing.
Talking and laughing, the people in the three pavilions have been seated steadily, and the greetings back and forth have also returned to their original positions, only to hear the bronze bell bell hanging under the pillars of the pavilion in the middle ringing three times, and suddenly the sound of laughter stopped, and the eyes of the attracted people looked towards the big pavilion in the middle.
I saw the main Feng Jiu of the Pear Blossom Pavilion standing under the corridor of the middle pavilion, holding a small mallet wrapped in red cloth in her hand, and it was she who rang the bronze bell just now.
Feng Nineteen Niang smiled and smiled generously towards the Quartet Wanfu saluted, and said loudly after the ceremony: "The slave Feng Nineteen Niang is here to invite the distinguished guests to An Daofu, today all the distinguished guests come to the Pavilion, this is the fortunate thing of the Pear Flower Pavilion, the fortunate thing of Pingkangfang." I feel honored by more than 100 large and small Qingguan in Pingkangfang. The museum is fortunate to host the Pear Blossom Poetry Society for several years, this time is the most glorious, not only the two prime ministers of the DPRK and China are present, but also most of the famous warriors in Chang'an City, which makes the slave excited beyond words. β
Feng Jiu Niang's expression is indeed excited, not polite words, although Tang officials and celebrities love to visit the Qingguan, but all of a sudden gathered so many celebrities here, it is the first time that the world has been unprecedented, after today, the name of the Pear Flower Pavilion will resound all over the Tang Dynasty.
"The slave family dared to say something before the poetry meeting, because when they learned that all the distinguished guests were coming today, the owners of the Pingkang Fang were extremely excited, so yesterday we waited for the gathering to discuss, and wanted to do our best to welcome the arrival of the distinguished guests. Therefore, I specially convened the top prostitutes of each hall to dance together to welcome the event, I wonder if the two prime ministers can allow it? β
Li Linfu on the pavilion on the north side said with a smile on his face: "Nineteen Niang, you have this intention, how can I bear to refuse?" Dozens of young curators and prostitutes gathered together, and their talents were all top choices, which was really the first time in the world. I waited to visit hundreds of schools to see, but I didn't expect to see them all today, such a good thing, the appearance will never refuse, and everyone here will definitely not refuse. β
Nineteen Niangjiao thanked her, although Li Linfu agreed on behalf of everyone, she still saluted Li Shizhi with a few thoughtful courtesies and asked for Li Shizhi's opinion. Before Li Shizhi could speak, a short and fat Wang Gong beside Li Linfu said in a loud voice: "Xiangguo has already agreed, will Li Shizhongyan disagree?" Let's go. β
Feng Jiuniang smiled: "Li Zuoxiang, Wang Yushi has answered for you, hehehe." β
Li Shizhi waved his hand and said: "Wang Yushi said so, I, Li Shizhi, can sweep his face, and besides, I really want to see the singing and dancing of the top brands of Pingkangfang, which is not bad as the beginning of this pear blossom poetry meeting." β
Nineteen Niang Wanfu thanked her, turned around and raised her hands and slowly patted three times, only to hear the sound of silk music sounded from nowhere, and then from the side of the rockery, four women moved out of a colorful silk arch, a group of women dressed in colorful curtains, wearing bandeau long color skirts, eyebrow makeup, and forehead appliquΓ©s.
"Ewha Pavilion Hua Jiang really welcomes all the distinguished guests."
"Yang Miaoer of the Xiangzhu Pavilion welcomes all the distinguished guests."
"Qiusheng Pavilion Zheng Juju to all the nobles to say goodbye."
"Wanfu Pavilion Fu Niang, I wish you all peace and security."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
All the women's warblers and swallows are like colorful clouds falling on the open space between the corridors, and everyone who arrives is bowed down to salute and report to their homes. Among the people present, such as Li Linfu, Li Shizhi and other officials, who were accustomed to seeing the big scene, were a little excited, while people like Wang Yuan and other scholars who had never seen such a battle were all dumbfounded, and their eyes did not blink at these women whose appearance, voice, and posture were all very tempting.
"Akizuki Pavilion Lan Xinhui...... I salute all the nobles. A delicate voice came into Wang Yuan's ears, Wang Yuan suddenly chuckled in his heart, he felt that this woman's name was very familiar.
"Akizukikan...... Lan Xinhui. Wang Yuan thought silently in his heart, and suddenly Wang Yuan got up and stared directly at the dressed woman wearing a tender yellow tulle skirt with a high bun, and several people around looked at Wang Yuan in surprise, and Li Yong's face also had a look of displeasure.
