Chapter 13 Song of the Goose (II) Revised Edition

This young man, is it Xu Shiji?

It may be a little strange to say that Xu Shiji, but if you mention the name of Li Tao or Xu Maogong, it is very famous.

In the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Xu Maogong was said to be a Taoist priest, pretending to be a ghost, resourceful, and a military advisor in Wagangzhai.

In the real history, Xu Shiji was a very famous military strategist in the early Tang Dynasty. Together with another famous figure, Li Jing established great feats in the early Tang Dynasty and was known as the god of war in the early Tang Dynasty. Xu Shiji was very loved by Li Yuan, and after entering the Tang Dynasty, he was given the national surname and renamed Li Shiji. Later, because of the reason of avoidance, he changed his name to Li Tao, who was a general and entered the phase, ranked as the third duke, and was a figure who did not fall in the three dynasties of Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong.

No wonder, when Zheng Shi'an mentioned Xu Gai's name, Yan Qing felt a little familiar.

That's right, that's right!

This Xu Gai, isn't it Xu Shiji's old son?

"Yanqing, Yanqing?"

Du Ruhui gently pushed Zheng Yanqing, and Yanqing came to his senses.

At this time, Zheng Shi'an also happened to introduce him.

"This is Xiao Sun Yanqing, I will accompany Xiao Gongzi to school in the future, and I will be with Xu Gongzi when the time comes, and I hope to take care of him."

Xu Shiji took a step forward and bowed his hand slightly.

And Zheng Yanqing also hurriedly returned the salute and met Xu Shiji.

"The banquet is ready, let's sit down and talk...... Mr. Sun, please first! ”

Xu Gai turned sideways and made way for a path.

Sun Simiao was not polite and walked into the attic.

Although Du Ruhui is also white, as a child of an official eunuch, Xu Gai is of course impossible to slack off. Zheng Shi'an and Xu Gai followed behind. Before you know it, a class is formed. Celebrities and gentlemen come first, eunuchs follow, and merchants and servants come last. As for Yan Qing and Xu Shiji, they fell to the last, and the two inadvertently walked in side by side.

Xu Shiji is four years older than Zheng Yanqing and is not low.

Walking beside him, from his demeanor, it can be seen that Xu Shiji is also a person who practices martial arts

In this regard, Zheng Yanqing does not think it is strange: during the Kaihuang period, the martial arts were prosperous, and a rich man like Xu Shiji, as long as he is willing, it is not difficult to practice martial arts. It's just that he can't understand why Zheng Renji wants to take Xu Shiji in?

The relationship between Xu Shiji and the Zheng family is not much recorded in the history books.

Zheng Yanqing glanced at Xu Shiji curiously, and Xu Shiji was also looking him up and down.

Looking at each other, the two suddenly smiled and nodded, but did not talk.

Walking into the attic, everyone was already seated. Sun Simiao and Du Ruhui were arranged on the main seat, and Xu Gai and Zheng Shi'an sat on both sides to accompany each other.

"Yanqing, come and sit next to me."

Sun Simiao waved his hand to Zheng Yanqing, and then glanced at Xu Shiji again, "And this little brother, also come and sit together." ”

Xu Gai was surprised and glanced at Zheng Yanqing.

To be honest, he didn't care too much about Zheng Yanqing originally.

After all, Zheng Yanqing is just a cheap background, even if he is Zheng Shi'an's grandson, Xu Gai can't value him too much.

But now it's different, although Sun Simiao also called Xu Shiji, it was obviously for Zheng Yanqing's sake.

What kind of virtue does this child have to make Sun Simiao treat him differently?

Xu Gai began to think about it in his heart.

Zheng Yanqing happily stepped forward and sat down beside Sun Simiao; And Xu Shiji obviously hesitated for a moment before walking over.

"Today, Mr. Lao Xu set up a banquet to entertain him, and Si Miao is grateful."

Sun Simiao said, raising his glass.

Xu Gai and Zheng Shi'an also hurriedly half got up and respectfully drank the wine.

Then, Du Ruhui raised a glass and invited him again, and Xu Gai and Zheng Shi'an drank again. Then, Xu Gai and Zheng Shi'an toasted again.

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Gai high-fived, and walked up from downstairs to some kabuki, singing and dancing.

Zheng Yanqing sat on the side, not interested in singing and dancing.

He turned his head to look out the window, but saw a small pond downstairs, and a few white geese playing in the blue waves. On the surface of the pond, a few splashes of duckweed float, the lights are shining, and it is even more interesting. The hustle and bustle of the banquet was drowned out in this fun.

"Hey ......"

Zheng Yanqing noticed that someone had pushed him, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Xu Gai holding a glass of wine and looking at him.

The person who pushed him was Xu Shiji, and he thought that he saw him distracted, so he reminded him.

"What is Young Brother Zheng looking at, so fascinating?"

"Ahh

Zheng Yanqing hurriedly apologized, "Uncle Xu forgives the sin, the kid just looked at the white goose outside the window, and he was out of his mind for a while, please forgive me." ”

"Nothing, nothing!"

Xu Gai said with a smile: "The owner of this Shouyang Restaurant is a gentleman. Many people drink here and are attracted by the view from the window. In the past, it was said that Wang Youjun loved geese, and Huang Tingjian exchanged them with him, and even built a goose pond at home to become a beautiful talk. The young brother said that he was fascinated by watching the goose today, and he will definitely be a gentleman in the future...... Big brother, you are so blessed. ”

Wang Youjun is the famous Wang Xizhi.

He loves geese and raises geese, and integrates the body of geese into calligraphy.

According to legend, the right army early in the morning, and the son of Wang Xianzhi took a flat boat to travel through the mountains and rivers of Shaoxing. When the boat arrived near the county village, I saw a flock of white geese on the shore, swaying and extremely cute. Wang Xizhi couldn't help but feel admiration, and wanted to buy the goose home. The owner of the goose is a Taoist priest, so he said, if the Lord of the Right Army wants it, please write a Huang Ting Jing on my behalf. Wang Xizhi begged for a goose and readily agreed.

Later, he built a goose pond at home and prepared to erect a goose pond monument by the pond.

As a result, as soon as he finished writing the word 'goose', he was called away by the emperor. When Wang Xizhi's son Wang Xianzhi saw it, he took up a pen and wrote the word 'pool'.

As a result, the combination of father and son, one monument and two characters, became the beautiful talk of the literati at that time.

Du Ruhui said with a smile: "In the past, it was said that the father and son of the right army erected a monument for the goose, and now it is said that why not follow suit, it is also a beautiful thing." ”

"Me?"

Zheng Yanqing looked at Du Ruhui suspiciously, and shook his head again and again, "How dare I compare with Mr. Youjun?" ”

"If you don't give it a try, how do you know you can't?"

Du Ruhui's eyes rolled slightly, and he looked at Yanqing with a smile.

Sun Simiao said: "Why don't you give Yanqing a try? Maybe it could be a good thing. ”

He was laughing with Du Ruhui here, but Xu Gai was surprised on the side. Du Ruhui's words, he can be regarded as a joke, but Sun Simiao ...... It's impossible, Sun Simiao is also talking nonsense. Listening to his tone, it is clear that he has the meaning of putting Yanqing and Wang Xizhi together. I gasped in my heart, what skills did this little child have to make the holy child so praised.

Not only Xu Gai was surprised, but Xu Shiji was also extremely curious.

He is also a smart man, and he is quite conceited. If it weren't for that, how could he have been able to get into the eyes of Zheng Renji?

The baby in front of him, who looks smaller than himself, really has such talent?

Zheng Shi'an smiled on the side.

"That'...... Shall I try? ”

Zheng Yanqing couldn't help but be a little moved.

was coaxed by Sun Simiao and Du Ruhui like this, so he decided to come down.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the literary style has been quite prosperous. Generally, in the restaurant, there will be pen, ink, paper and inkstone for the drinkers to express their feelings.

It is even said that many hotel maids may be illiterate, but they can distinguish between good and bad.

When it is well written, they smile and keep it; If it's not good, encourage it softly, then erase it.

Since Yan Qing decided to show his hand, the singing and dancing immediately stopped.

A singer hurriedly took the pen and ink, put it aside, and looked at Zheng Yanqing curiously.

But what is the best thing to write?

Zheng Yanqing looked at the white geese playing in the pond outside the window, and he was a little hesitant. He pondered quietly, but everyone in the building held their breath.

Sun Simiao rolled up his sleeves and grinded lightly on the side, without urging.

At this time, the white goose in the pond suddenly started to sing. Yan Qing's heart moved, and a Tang poem immediately came to his heart.

Please don't blame me, sir, I'm also forced to be helpless!

Zheng Yanqing picked up the pen and walked to the wall.

Then he closed his eyes and muttered for a moment, waving freely on the snow-white wall.

"Goose, goose, goose ......"

Xu Gai read softly.

But when the three 'goose' words came out, his brows were frowned, and he turned his head to look at Du Ruhui and Sun Simiao, and saw that the two of them were also frowning.

What is this?

Could it be that this child is going to write the word 'goose' on the wall?

But don't say it, this kid has a good hand, strong and majestic, quite a backbone. How come I haven't seen this font though?

Xu Gai was thinking about it, when he heard Du Ruhui suppress the surprise and shouted: "Okay!" ”

Looking up, I saw that under the three 'goose' words, there was already a line of quatrains: Song to the sky.

Zheng Yanqing had also entered the state at this time.

The white hair floats in the green water, and the anthurium plucks the clear waves......

"Good poems, good words!"

When Yanqing finished the last book, Du Ruhui couldn't help but applaud. Sun Simiao's brows were already stretched, smiling, and nodding slightly. Goose, goose, goose, song to the sky. The white hair floats in the green water, and the anthurium plucks the clear waves!

Xu Gai recited aloud, and then couldn't help but applaud loudly.

Zheng Yanqing's face was red at this time.

But instead of drinking, he blushed with shame...... It's just a matter of robbing Yan Zhenqing's book, and now he has snatched Luo Bingwang's goose poems. I don't know if King Luo Bing is born now, it's really a shame.

The singer and dancer on the side pointed at the poems on the wall.

"Someone, someone...... Rub this poem for me, hurry up, hurry up, this first edition is mine, no one should rob me. ”

Du Ruhui danced and shouted loudly.

Own Kabuki ran over and carefully rubbed it.

And Sun Simiao twisted his beard and smiled, "As soon as Yanqing's poem comes out, I don't think anyone will dare to sing the goose in the future!" ”

Zheng Shi'an was already stunned at this time!

He knows his grandson and can write well.

But I didn't expect that Yanqing could still write poetry? When did this kid learn the skill, isn't it really a genius?

Xu Shiji couldn't help but ask: "Yanqing, whose calligraphy are you copying?" ”

Without waiting for Zheng Yanqing to answer, Du Ruhui preemptively said: "Little brother, Yanqing's handwriting is not copied. This is based on Cai Zhonglang's Liu Xiong Tablet and Wang Youjun's funeral post, and combined with the meaning of sword dance, and created originally. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Shiji thought that he was talented, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim.

As for Xu Gai, he was even more dumbfounded.

Original book style? Oh my god, this little guy is a little too wicked...... Just now, I thought what Mr. Sun said was a bit excessive. But now it seems that Mo said that he was a goose, if he was older, who would dare to speak in front of him?

Sun Simiao asked in a deep voice, "Yanqing, have you thought of a name?" ”

"Goose!"

Zheng Yanqing blurted out.;
