Chapter 024: The Poet Saint is despised
Wei Yingwu had an ominous premonition when he saw the horse, and when he heard Li Zaixing's ridiculous laughter, his face became even more ugly, and his injured shoulder also had a faint pain.
Last time outside Chang'an City, he wanted to rob Li Zaixing for this horse. Such a divine horse is very rare, not to mention in Pingkangfang, even in the entire Chang'an, there will not be too many. At that time, I thought that if there was such a horse as a mount, I would definitely show my face in front of my friends. He never expected that Li Zaixing was dressed very poorly, but the kung fu under his hands was not bad at all, and he actually picked out thirteen of them alone, everyone was injured, and three died on the spot, and finally Li Zaixing snatched all his purse.
If you can't rob it, you will be robbed, the money in your purse is a small matter, and your face is a big thing. Wei Yingwu was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, but he was embarrassed to tell others. It's a shame to fight thirteen to one, and to lose so badly. was known by others, how will he mix in Chang'an in the future.
Therefore, Wei Yingwu gave a gag order to his friends, whoever wants to tell this matter will turn his face and deny people.
However, he couldn't seal Li Zaixing's mouth, and when he saw Li Zaixing, he had a headache. Today, he made an appointment with a friend to drink, and if Li Zaixing exposed the incident in person, he would be embarrassed.
"This ...... Brother Li, you also come to drink. ”
Li Zaixing turned a blind eye to the distortion on Wei Yingwu's face: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet you Wei Sanlang, how is it, are you interested in inviting me for a drink?" ”
Wei Yingwu grinned: "I'm at some banquet today, and I'm just chanting poems and essays during the banquet, but there will be no competition, I don't know if Brother Li will feel bored." ”
"I'm really not good at poetry and composition, but I can listen to it." Li Zaixing turned around and introduced: "This Brother Du, you must also know each other. His poems, I think even the new science and technology scholars listened to it, and they should also praise it. ”
Wei Yingwu glanced at Du Fu, and his gaze did not stop. In his opinion, Du Fu is a middle-aged man with a thin face, although the clothes on his body are beautiful, he obviously just bought them, and his eyes are a little evasive, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like the authentic Du family. How could the people of the Jingzhao Du family be so timid, they all walked sideways when they came out. Obviously, Li Zaixing knew that he was not good at poetry, so he pulled a poor sour cuoda to help.
Wei Yingwu laughed evilly and stretched out his hand to invite. He decided to take this opportunity today to humiliate Li Zaixing in literary affairs in order to avenge the robbery. He let Li Zaixing and the others into the door, his eyes lingered on the horse for a moment, and he called an entourage and whispered a few words. The retinue responded and hurried away.
Li Zaixing saw Wei Yingwu's small movements in his eyes, but he didn't think so. He also has confidence in Du Fu's level. In addition to big names such as Li Bai and Wang Wei, there are still people in this era who can kill Du Fu in poetry? Similarly, he is also very confident in his martial arts, firstly, the Yijin Sutra is not a secret that can be bought casually on the street, secondly, there are probably not many people who can practice hard for eight years without distractions like himself, and thirdly, his talent is not one in a thousand, and one in a hundred is not an exaggeration. In the final analysis, martial arts must not only have the guidance of famous teachers, but also be willing to endure hardships. In addition to this, the talent of the individual is also essential. He is very comparable in these three aspects, and how many people can surpass him in martial arts?
Unless you encounter a monster that has crossed over from the cultivation realm.
Therefore, he didn't pay attention to Wei Yingwu's thoughts at all. He is not afraid that Wei Yingwu will make trouble, but he is afraid that Wei Yingwu will not make trouble.
Entering the door, Li Zaixing, who came to drink flower wine for the first time, was attracted by the brothel of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the fireworks in later generations, this brothel in the Tang Dynasty is too elegant, if he came alone, there were not so many people in the yard, he would definitely think that this was the garden of the rich and noble, how could it not be associated with a place like a brothel.
Entering the front hall, passing through a small courtyard, the eyes suddenly become open, in the middle is a pool about fifty meters wide, there are strange stones and trees on the edge of the pool, a stone corridor leads to the pavilion in the pool, the pavilion has no walls on all sides, and the bamboo curtain is hung. There is a circle of houses along the pool, three on the east and west, and five on the north side, each of which is not small, and you can set up a table for a banquet, and a large window is opened facing the wall of the pool, and the people inside can open the window, sit by the window, and enjoy the scenery outside.
Between the house and the pool, there is a vacant lot, planted with a few rare bamboos, paved with stones into different patterns, some are peonies, some are hibiscus, and there are some flowers that Li Zaixing can't see.
Li Zaixing praised: "Good place." ”
"Of course, if you want to have a banquet for the new science and technology scholars, of course, you must choose a good place." Wei Yingwu rushed up, and just when he heard Li Zaixing's praise, he immediately felt very embarrassed. He raised his eyebrows and waved his hand: "I chartered the venue today, and all the people who came here were people with heads and faces in Beijing, and Brother Li's presence added a bit of brilliance." ”
Li Zaixing smiled and said nothing, noncommittal.
Wei Yingwu turned to Du Fu again and said, "I don't know which room this Du brother belongs to in the Jingzhao Du family?" ”
Du Fu's face flushed: "The ancestor of Fu is from Du Tangong, the second son of Wuku, and the ancestor is the judge of the Du clan in Xiangyang. ”
"It turned out to be Xiangyang Du's." Wei Yingwu pursed his lips, not interested in asking any more, and turned his head to look away. He led Li Zaixing to the lobby to the north, arched his hand, and went to greet others.
Li Zaixing is very strange, why did Du Fu become Xiangyang Du again? And Wei Yingwu looks like he is ignoring it, which is not like an attitude towards famous families. He looked at Du Fu and found that Du Fu's face was slightly red, his expression was also a little embarrassed, and he was restless.
"Brother Du?" Li Zaixing asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, nothing." Du Fu wiped the slight sweat on his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I haven't experienced such a scene for a long time, and I am inevitably a little uncomfortable." ”
Li Zaixing secretly despised him, and said in his heart, where are you not suitable, you may not have been here at all. Just now you said that the most famous person here is Zheng Ju's family, but this family is clearly surnamed Yang. Just looking at this courtyard, you know that this Yang family is not an ordinary prostitute, you didn't even mention it, obviously not familiar with it.
"It's okay if you don't adapt, you can write poems on the spot." Li Zaixing patted the back of Du Fu's hand, not only comforting Du Fu, but also comforting himself. He was a little worried about Du Fu. Making poems is not about memorizing the poems you did before, but about impromptu creation, which is a test of urgency, and I don't know if Du Fu can do it. If he can't, then he will be even more blind. He doesn't even know any rhyme.
Time passed slowly, and it was obvious that Wei Yingwu was not the kind of person who cared about money, and he didn't have to worry about rules such as doubling the price of wine and drinking in the palm of his hand, he was here to show his wealth today. There were more and more guests, and the dozen or so rooms surrounding the pool were full of people, and the pavilion in the center of the pool also rolled up bamboo curtains, and several musicians and courtesans sat in the middle, playing the guqin, knocking on the cloud board, and babbling and singing.
Li Zaixing listened attentively and was shocked: he didn't understand a word.
"What are you singing about?"
"Yale." Du Fu whispered in Li Zaixing's ear: "Brother Xian, don't be impatient, today's banquet is for the new science and technology jinshi, so of course some elegant music will be played first." However, few people are willing to listen to real music, and few people can really understand it, and after a while, they will play some current music. ”
Li Zaixing breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out that I'm not the only one who can't understand it, but there are few people here who can understand it, and it's not the same as the petty bourgeoisie listening to a symphony. He glanced at Shen Zhongchang, a new science and technology scholar sitting on the front seat, and saw that he was serious and slightly bowed, and asked again, "Does that person understand?" ”
"It's hard to say." Du Fu explained: "If the Jinshi examines poetry and prose, but not Yale, no one can say for sure. ”
Li Zaixing glanced at it, and said in his heart that if Wang Wei's music genius was here, I am afraid he would not understand it. Even if it is replaced by Li Bai's immortal, I am afraid that he will not be deflated, although Du Fu, the old master, is very interested, but he is not a frequent visitor to this kind of occasion, and it seems that he is a little embarrassed to take the initiative.
I still don't have enough understanding of the military situation, and I have made a mistake in employing people. Li Zaixing secretly blamed himself, feeling that he was a little reckless this time. I knew that Du Fu's performance was so poor, so I didn't take the initiative to provoke Wei Yingwu, and it was better for Du Fu to take Zheng Ju's family than here.
There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and it is impossible to leave the field now. Li Zaixing had no choice but to bite the bullet and pretend to listen. Du Fu felt Li Zaixing's disappointment, became more and more embarrassed, and his face turned red.
As Du Fu said, after playing Yale for a while, it changed to pop music with a bright rhythm. The atmosphere in the field was also obviously lively, Wei Yingwu was in high spirits, raised his wine glass, and greeted loudly, celebrating Shen Zhongchang, a new science and technology jinshi. In the praise of everyone, Shen Zhongchang got up and chanted a poem loudly.
Looking at Shen Zhongchang's shaking head and chanting poetry, looking self-absorbed, Li Zaixing pursed his lips and disagreed. Although this product is a jinshi, he has never heard of this person, at least he is not as famous as Du Fu, and he is also a passerby.
"What kind of poems did he make?"
"Thanksgiving poem." Du Fu explained: "Xinke Jinshi, of course, I have to thank God first. However, the poem is meant to rhyme. ”
"What rhyme?" Li Zaixing looked dazed.
"The rhyme of poetry." Du Fu wiped his forehead: "Every next poem must use the same rhyme." ”
Li Zaixing looked at the sweat on Du Fu's forehead: "Brother Du, you ...... It won't be a problem, right? ”
"I didn't ...... No problem. Du Fu stammered: "There is still time to brew, I don't think there will be a problem." ”
Hearing this, Li Zaixing chuckled in his heart, it was broken. Du Fu's words have no confidence at all, and they are far from the gold-lettered signboard of the poet. Not to mention being famous, it's amazing, and whether you can pass the test is a question.
What can I do about this, is it that Lao Tzu is not good to be out of school today, and he sent it to the door to humiliate Wei Yingwu?
