Chapter 071: Headless Corpse
If a person can look forward and see openly, he will live happily after all.
Now that Gu Nianbai can regain his strength, this makes Su Wuming very pleased, although he and Gu Nianbai have only met and chatted a few words on a rainy evening.
After a few people finished speaking, Su Wuming said to the two of them with a smile; "Meeting is fate, why don't you sit down and eat together!"
Gu Nianbai and Cao Geng were a little hesitant, and Cao Geng hurriedly asked, "Is this ...... Is this appropriate? ”
Su Wuming smiled: "What's wrong with this, sit down!" ”
Su Wuming did not have much official authority, so Gu Nianbai and Cao Geng did not insist much.
After sitting down, Su Wuming looked at Cao Geng and asked, "What kind of business does Brother Cao do in Qiantang County?" ”
"The grass people are not talented, relying on their father's relationship in Qiantang County, doing the rice and grain business."
"So, Ling Zun is a good hand in the business field?"
"My father has been in the rice and grain business in Qiantang County for more than 30 years, and he has accumulated some fame, so even if my father is recuperating at home because he is unwell, our Cao family's rice grain store has not been affected."
After Cao Geng finished saying this, Su Wuming nodded slightly, then looked at Gu Nianbai and said, "Where is Brother Gu's private school?" ”
"Not far from here, next to a stream in the east of the city, that place is very quiet and rhymes, very suitable for private school, I heard that Master Su is also a scholar, if you have time one day, why don't you study together?"
Su Wuming knows a lot about classical books, but he knows very well that his so-called understanding is far worse than Gu Nianbai, so he doesn't want to learn this knowledge from anyone, but in the face of Gu Nianbai, he can't refuse, and said with a light smile: "Okay, if I'm free that day, I'll go to the private school to talk to you." ”
As soon as Su Wuming finished speaking, Cao Geng smiled again and again: "If Master Su really wants to learn poetry from scholars, go to the poetry building, there are many scholars and scholars and ladies who learn from each other every day, and meet friends with literature, I heard that because of this, there are also a lot of good stories!" ”
For Cao Geng's proposal, Su Wuming would never agree, but he had heard of the poetry building, it is said that the people who went inside were all young ladies from rich families, scholars with high talents, and it was the most elegant place in Qiantang County.
Su Wuming had long wanted to go and see, but he was afraid of being challenged by others, so he didn't go for a long time, and now that Cao Geng mentioned it, he didn't mean to go, but he still had to do a good job of it, so he smiled and said: "Okay, I'm free that day, let's go and have a look." ”
Who knew that Su Wuming said this, then Gu Nianbai immediately proposed: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, I think it's just today, I have always wanted to go to the poetry building, but my bag is empty, and I can't afford to pay the entrance fee. After Gu Nianbai said this, he smiled meaningfully.
And at this time, Cao Geng said: "Brother Gu said there, if you want to go, don't say knock a stroke, even knock every day, I will help you!" After Cao Geng finished speaking, he glanced at Su Wuming and asked, "What does Master Su mean?" ”
Su Wuming hesitated slightly, but at this time, Nangong Yan suddenly replied for him: "Of course I want to go, such a fun place, it's too much to say not to play!" Nangong Yan said, glanced at Su Wuming, and asked, "Isn't it Xianggong?" ”
Now that Nangong Yan preemptively agreed, if he didn't go, he would inevitably make Nangong Yan angry, so at this time, he smiled again and again: "What the lady said is very true, since this is the case, then let's go to the poetry building!" ”
When a few people left the inn, the sunset in the distance was red, reflecting the entire Qiantang County beautifully.
The poetry building is not very far, and it took a few people to walk for about half a pillar of incense.
There is a small maid guarding outside the poetry building, if you want to go in, you must pay the entrance fee, and the entrance fee is very high, but Cao Geng doesn't care at all, he threw a silver ingot to the little girl, and then made a gesture to Su Wuming to please, Su Wuming smiled lightly and led people into the poetry building.
At this time, the poetry building was very lively, there were many square tables in the whole hall, and those scholars and scholars, the young ladies of the rich family, sat together in twos and threes to learn from each other, Su Wuming glanced at the poetry building, and found that there were not many people here talking about poetry, and there were many people who wanted to take the opportunity to make friends or find marriage, so after taking a look, it was inevitable that Su Wuming was a little disappointed.
And just after a few people found a place to sit down, one of the people in the poetry building got up and said: "There are a lot of talented and beautiful people in the poetry building today, so we Sun Sanniang will think about holding a poetry meeting related to love today. ”
After the man said this, the whole poetry building suddenly became noisy, and some scholars wanted to show themselves in front of the girl they liked, so they kept frowning and groaning, and Gu Nianbai here looked at Su Wuming and said: "Later, Master Su can show his hand in front of everyone, let me wait to pay respects!" ”
Su Wuming shrugged his shoulders and was about to say something, but at this time, the entire poetry building suddenly erupted into bursts of enthusiastic shouts, Su Wuming followed the sound and looked, only to see a peerless woman walking down from the second floor, the woman should be in her thirties, but the years did not have any traces on her face, she gave people the feeling of charm and charm.
As soon as she appeared, those scholars and scholars shouted Sun Sanniang, and the woman only smiled lightly, and then waved everyone quietly, and after the poetry building quieted down, Sun Shisanniang swept the crowd with bright eyes, and then smiled: "From ancient times to the present, love is an endless topic for literati and elegant guests. Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, now there is Bai Juyi for a long time and sometimes it is exhausted, this hatred is endless, these love poems are always very desirable to read, today you are talented who can write good love poems, my poetry building is open to him for free from now on. ”
Sun Sanniang's voice was very crisp, it sounded very comfortable, and after he said this, those scholars and scholars couldn't wait to take out their poems or lyrics.
And at this time, Su Wuming suddenly found that among these people, a man's poetry was the most elegant and standard, and most of the poems he wrote seemed to allude, as if a teenager was writing love poems to the woman he loved.
After these scholars presented their poems, Sun Sanniang looked at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to do it?" ”
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and no one seemed willing to do it again, but at this time, Nangong Yan suddenly raised her hand, and everyone was a little surprised when they saw a woman raise her hand, and Sun Sanniang smiled and said: "This girl, this poem is a man's business, do you want to do it too?" ”
"I don't do it, I raised my hand because I want to do it!" Nangong Yan said, pointing at Su Wuming with his finger, and when Su Wuming heard Nangong Yan's words, his forehead suddenly sweated, thinking that he really shouldn't have taken her out to play.
That Sun Sanniang glanced at Su Wuming and smiled: "Since the son wants to compose a poem, please!" ”
Su Wuming's heart sank, habitually touched the bridge of his nose, and his heart kept complaining, secretly thinking about what kind of poem to compose, he thought about it like this, and Lang spent a lot of time, those waiting scholars saw this, and couldn't help but sneer, Su Wuming saw this, turned his heart sideways, and then chanted:
A few squirts, and then a good rest. Cherish the spring and fold the remnants of red. The rain is light and windy, and the plum is green. Yongfeng willow, no one ends the sun and snow.
Don't pluck the strings, complaining about the strings can be said. The sky is not old, and the love is indescribable. The heart is like a double wire net, and there are thousands of knots in it. The night has passed, and the east window has not been white.
This is a song by Zhang Xian in the Song Dynasty "A Thousand Autumn Years", in which the sky is not old, and the love is inexorable. The heart is like a double wire net, there are thousands of knots that are the most widely spread, and they can best reflect the state of mind in love between men and women, after Su Wuming's chanting, the whole poetry building was quiet for a while, and then many people talked about it, saying how did this person make the first word, and so on.
Su Wuming took the opportunity to wipe his forehead, and then said to Gu Nianbai and them: "If Brother Gu has nothing to do, let's leave, right?" ”
Gu Nianbai smiled: "That's the best!" ”
After a few people left the poetry building, Gu Nianbai smiled and said, "Xiao Sheng really didn't expect Master Su to make the first words." ”
Su Wuming smiled lightly, and before he could speak, Nangong Yan suddenly asked: "What's wrong with the first word, I think Xianggong's first word is very good!" ”
Gu Nianbai nodded: "No matter where Master Su's lyrics are placed, they can be said to be masterpieces, but I'm afraid that the people in the poetry building don't know how to appreciate it, now Tang poetry is still the mainstream, and there are very few lyricists, as far as I know, the lyrics are excellent, and there is only one person Wen Feiqing Wen Tingyun, and when I hear this poem of Lord Su today, there is one more person in my mind." ”
What Gu Nianbai said is right, at this time, the style of Tang poetry is still popular, although the words are made, they are not very widespread, but Su Wuming doesn't care about them, although he entered Dali Temple because of a poem, but if he wants to mix in Dali Temple, it is not enough to rely on poetry alone, you must have real skills, so Su Wuming doesn't care about poetry.
After leaving the poetry building, several people dispersed, and Su Wuming had an indescribable feeling about today's encounter.
The next day, as soon as Su Wuming got up, a news suddenly reached his ears, Cao Geng's father, Cao Yunxing, was found dead in his own courtyard, and his head was missing.
After hearing the news, Su Wuming felt incredible, why did he just know Cao Geng, and something happened to Cao Geng's mansion?
