Chapter 030: The Game
Li Zaixing defeated Zhang Wan, and when he listened to the Zheng family's top card Zheng Juju singing, the Yang family's banquet was also coming to an end.
It's just that the atmosphere is a little weird.
Wei Yingwu spent a lot of thought, sparing no expense, to run a wine in the Yang family, originally wanted to use the name of Shen Zhongchang, a new science and technology jinshi, to increase his face, and Shen Zhongchang also took this opportunity to get in touch with the Wei family who went to Tianshawu. The two sides hit it off, Wei Yingwu spent money, and Shen Zhongchang became famous, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
Unexpectedly, being so disturbed by Li Zaixing, first Wang Zhun was forced to learn a few dog barks in public, lost face, and walked away, making the atmosphere a little embarrassing, and then Shen Zhongchang and others were also embarrassed by Li Zaixing's poem.
At the beginning, even Shen Zhongchang himself didn't take it too seriously. Li Zaixing's poem doesn't look very good, in terms of words, it can't be said to be gorgeous, and there is hardly a word in particular; Regarding the use of dictionaries, there is not a single allusion in the whole text, for the Tang people who like to use dictionaries, this poem is simply too ordinary, and it is too in line with the identity of Li Zaixing, a person who does not learn and has no skills. According to their ideas, any person who makes a poem can surpass him, not to mention Shen Zhongchang, a new science and technology scholar.
However, as one poem after another is sung, the preciousness of the poem gradually becomes clear.
Don't have a flashy word? It's okay, no obscure allusions? It doesn't matter. The reason is very simple, people are martial artists, they haven't read books, but they have thoughts. If you look at this poem, "Horizontally looking at the side of the ridge becomes a peak, the distance and the height are different", it sounds very straightforward, but it says a big truth. Any scene, from different angles is different, there are many people who have been on Lushan, how many have such feelings? As for "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain", it is even more meaningful. If the first two sentences are still on par with the mountain, then the angle of these two sentences has flown to the world, looking down on Lushan. Only by jumping out of Lushan and looking at Lushan can it be possible to come to such a conclusion.
Tang people are bold and powerful, and the imagery is so big, what I like most is this kind of condescending view, so Li Bai's poems are popular. The song "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall" that he wrote about Lushan has spread all over the world, because of his grand imagery, "Flying down three thousand times, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days", how bold and energetic does it sound?
Although Li Zaixing's poem does not have those magnificent metaphors and ostentatious words, his artistic conception is the same.
If Li Bai's poem is to make a big meal with delicacies from the mountains and seas, then Li Zaixing's Lushan poem is to use home-cooked dishes to make a timeless flavor and a long aftertaste. The first taste is not surprising, but the more you taste, the more flavorful, and the more you taste, the more different you feel. So the more these people want to surpass this poem, the more they feel that this poem is not simple.
If Li Zaixing is a scribe, even if he is a newcomer, these people will not hesitate to praise him, and they will have to make a name for him, and the Tang people are never petty. But Li Zaixing is a martial artist who can't understand the arts, if they can't make stronger poems than him, won't this scholar lose his face?
As the saying goes, Tang poems are shouted, Song poems are thought of, Tang poems want to be cheerful, the more these people want to compete with Li Zaixing's poem, the more they can't find good verses, one by one meditate and think hard, where do they still have the heart to drink, where do they still have the face to drink.
Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, although Wei Yingwu didn't care about doubling the amount of money for the lamp, the guests were not interested, and as the host and guest Shen Zhongchang left the table with a disgraced face, the others also dispersed.
The mother and daughter of the Yang family, who originally wanted to make a lot of money, suddenly felt half cold when they saw this scene.
What's worse is not only that, Li Zaixing, who won Wang Zhun, originally said that he wanted to talk to Yang Miaoer about wine, but he left Yang Miaoer and ran to Zheng Ju's house. Yang Miaoer couldn't look down on Li Zaixing and drove him out, that's one thing, and Li Zaixing threw Yang Miaoer down, which was another thing. What's even more annoying is that he is not ashamed to say that he doesn't look down on Yang Miaoer and wants to go to Zheng Ju's family.
This is not a slap in the face of Yang Miaoer, or a slap in the face of the entire Yang family.
If Li Zaixing is just a vulgar martial artist, then that's it, but this martial artist's poem shocked the audience, and even the new science and technology jinshi had no shame to stay, and returned disappointed. Such a person can't look down on the Yang family, so he specially went to the Zheng family, what will others say? It's just that others don't say it, if the Zheng family knows about it in the future, can they still boast about it?
What was originally an inconspicuous matter was brought together by these factors, and it suddenly became a major event that might affect the reputation of the Yang family. Not only did Yang Miaoer feel ashamed, hiding in the room and crying with pear blossoms and rain, even the top brand Yang Laier felt that her face couldn't hold it. When Wei Yingwu went to check out, Yang Laier quietly mentioned: Yang Miaoer was crying alone in the room.
Wei Yingwu was intrigued when he heard it. Crying, or crying alone in the room? Shouldn't she drink with Li Zaixing?
Wei Yingwu didn't say a word and rushed to Yang Miaoer's boudoir. Yang Miao'er was losing her temper and smashing the things in the house into a mess, and Wei Yingwu, who had just entered the door, was almost hit in the head by a pen holder, which scared him into a cold sweat.
Seeing Wei Yingwu coming to coax, Yang Miaoer cried and cried again. Wei Yingwu listened to her crying, and his heart was happy and depressed. I am glad that Yang Miaoer was not taken the lead by Li Zaixing, and what is depressed is that Yang Miaoer doesn't look down on Li Zaixing, but Li Zaixing doesn't look down on Yang Miaoer.
Wei Yingwu persuaded her with good words, and Yang Miaoer finally spoke, if Wei Yingwu could invite Li Zaixing back from the Zheng family and help her save face, she was willing to stay with Wei Yingwu for the night. If Wei Yingwu can't do it, she will lose someone today, and tomorrow she will become a nun and never see Wei Yingwu again.
Wei Yingwu was a little hesitant, he didn't want to ask Li Zaixing as an opponent. But she couldn't stand Yang Miaoer's soft begging, Yang Laier pouted on the side, so she had to grit her teeth and agree to give it a try.
The big words came out, but Wei Yingwu didn't have any bottom in his heart. He and Li Zaixing are rivals, not friends, will Li Zaixing give him face? Standing at the door of Zheng Juju's house, Wei Yingwu was thinking about how to speak, but saw a Jian slave hurriedly walking out. Wei Yingwu grabbed him, and when he asked, he realized that Li Zaixing came here not only to drink, but to make trouble.
Wei Yingwu frowned, thinking about it. He pulled Jiannu and whispered a few words in Jiannu's ear, and Jiannu listened and ran away.
Wei Yingwu stepped into the door, and Zheng Jiabu's mother knew him and hurriedly greeted him. Wei Yingwu waved his hand, signaling her not to make a noise, he walked in with a swagger, found a room next to Li Zaixing and sat down, and did not ask anyone to wait, and listened to Zheng Juju's singing with interest. Zheng Juju is not as famous as Yang Lai'er and Yang Miao'er's sisters, but she is also a famous prostitute in Beijing, Wei Yingwu has praised her many times and spent a lot of money on her. However, this is the first time to listen to Zheng Juju sing so many songs.
Listening to Zheng Juju singing one song after another, listening to those magnificent and fierce poems, Wei Yingwu couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic. At this moment, several martial marquis dressed in yellow clothes rushed in with weapons in their hands, and shouted loudly: "Who dares to cause trouble here, aren't you afraid of Wang Fa?" ”
When the Zheng family saw it, their souls were frightened, and they hurriedly pulled Jian Nu aside and asked, "Let you go to Zhang Wan's brother, why did you call the people from Wuhou Shop?" ”
There are Wuhou shops in each workshop, and there are several Wuhou people, who are responsible for the opening and closing of the door and the security of the workshop. But as long as there is no major event such as murder, the prostitute would rather find a scoundrel like Zhang Wan to solve it than find Wu Hou. The reason is simple, these warriors are more difficult and greedy than scoundrels.
When Wu Hou comes to the house, it will have a great impact on the reputation of the prostitute, just like the haunting in the house.
Jian Nu knew the stakes, so he had to explain Wei Yingwu's request. This Jian Nu also has an eye, he not only went to Wuhou Shop, but also inquired by the way, and learned what happened to the Yang family. Those who had just left the Yang family were talking about these things.
The Zheng family is old and sophisticated, and immediately realized that there is something greasy in it. Li Zaixing came from the Yang family, and the Yang family is now going to invite Li Zaixing back? It's not so easy. Zheng Jia** frowned, and immediately had a countermeasure.
In the courtyard, the arrival of the martial artists interrupted Zheng Juju's singing and dancing, and the leading martial artists looked at the collapsed rockery, and then looked at Li Zaixing, who was sitting in the center, and sneered: "Where did the madman come from, dare to make trouble here?" ”
Li Zaixing put down his wine glass and said unhurriedly: "It's just a martial arts competition, why should someone make trouble?" ”
"Where did you come from, seeing that your face is tight, could it be that you just came to Beijing? Tell me, "What is your name, where do you come from, where do you live, and have you ever committed a crime?" ”
Wu Hou's series of rebukes made Li Zaixing very dissatisfied. How can these people be more hooligans than hooligans, more bandits than bandits, they don't ask anything, they first label him as a rogue. He sneered, put the wine glass on the table, and shouted: "Where did the vicious dog bark here and disturb Yaxing?" ”
Wu Hou was furious, rushed up, flew up, kicked at the wine case in front of Li Zaixing, and at the same time reached out and drew his knife.
As soon as his feet were raised, Li Zaixing, who was sitting upright, pressed his hand on the corner of the couch, his body flew up diagonally, and his legs were kicked continuously, one on Wu Hou's calf bone, and the other on Wu Hou's hand where he drew his sword.
With two sounds, Wu Hou lost his balance, fell to the ground, and his forehead hit the corner of the case, and the blood flowed like a torrent. He hugged his calf, which was broken by Li Zaixing's kick, and let out a terrible scream.
When the other warriors saw this, they were immediately furious, shouting and shouting, those who drew their swords, and those who raised their shields raised their shields, and rushed forward. Li Zaixing was not afraid, rushed forward, his fists and feet fell, only to hear a chaotic sound of "ping pong", and after a while, several martial artists all fell to the ground, some holding broken legs, some holding broken heads, screaming.
Li Zaixing walked back to the hall with his hands in his hands and shouted: "The waste that has not been beaten dares to provoke me." If it weren't for the face of the little lady of the Zheng family, I would have taken your lives today. Get out of here, don't delay me listening to the music, Xie Dalang will come later, I will have to fight with him, I don't have the heart to waste energy with you waste. ”
