Chapter 10 Seeking Poetry
Dian Man agreed, led the horse to the grain shop, to the door, Cao Pi jumped off the horse, into the shop, the shop is not big, similar to his own bedroom, there is a door to the inner hall, blocked by a curtain. There are two men in short clothes in sackcloth in the www.biquge.info shop, the Han Dynasty called this kind of clothes a shirt, these two people are carrying a gray clay jar full of grain, and a young man wearing a robe coat is sitting in front of the desk on one side, carving words on the bamboo slips with a knife and pen, and from time to time looking up to count the gray clay jars on the ground, which should be counting.
Cao Pi was richly dressed, and he had a sturdy pawn man, and the horse was a rare and good horse, and the fur young man was obviously a man with vision, so he immediately stood up and said, "This son, do you want to sell grain?" ”
"No, I want it." After Cao Pi finished speaking, he pointed to the corner, it was a clay elephant, the workmanship was very rough, about a foot high, the shape of this clay elephant was carved in the shape of a person, wearing a crown on his head, and stepping on the ears of grain and grass on his feet. This is a statue of the first farmer, also called Houji, the legend is the great-great-grandson of the emperor, the surname Ji name abandoned, the legend is that because he is good at farming, he was named "farmer" by Yao, Shun named it Houji, specializing in teaching people the art of farming. Therefore, the people of later generations called him "the king of Ji, the god of Ji, the god of agriculture, and the god of the valley". Those who farm the fields will worship him in the hope of getting a good harvest.
The young man was slightly stunned when he heard this, in fact, this pottery statue is not worth much, it is carved from the leftovers left over from his family's workshop in Xu Du's workshop to make clay pots, because the process is rough, he is about to take the field of the manor to set up a first agricultural altar for the tenant farmers, who knows that he has just been taken to the city, and is preparing to let people send it back to the manor, and someone actually came to ask for this thing, and it is also a person with a lot of background, you must know that although horses are not rare in these years, but the mount of this young man in front of him is definitely not something that ordinary people can have, Even if the rich and noble families in Yuzhou and Yanzhou want this kind of horse, they must be sold to the Sikong of the current dynasty, because the Sikong of the current dynasty is short of cavalry.
The young man in front of him has this kind of horse, there is only one explanation, either the people who are close to the court or the people who can't be controlled by the court, the second kind is okay, the people who can't be controlled by the court are just some important ministers from Chang'an, or the royal family surnamed Liu, but although these people have a high status, to put it bluntly, they are also sent under the fence, nothing is a big deal, but if it is the first type, the people who are close to the court, it is not easy to offend....
As the young man was thinking, the curtain that connected the door to the inner hall of the shop was lifted, and another man in fur walked out, this man was not tall, and he was middle-aged. Wearing a crown and a beam on the hat, it means that there is an official position, but the official position should be below 2,000 stones, and the official position of 2,000 stones is a watershed, whether it is 2,000 stones, true (1,800 stones) 2,000 stones, 2,000 (1,400 stones) stones, and more than (1,200 stones) 2,000 stones, it can be said that they are 2,000 stones, and the official position is at least a Taishou. But this person in front of him is obviously not at this level, even if he serves in Xu Du, he is still a petty official.
The young man was relieved to see the man, and evidently no longer bothered him with this, and saluted; "Uncle."
The middle-aged man nodded, glanced at the pawn man and Jianma outside the door, and then looked at Cao Pi, and suddenly said, "This must be the second son of the Sikong family." ”
The petty official also has a little bit of eyes! Cao Pi smiled and asked, "Honorable Driver's Honorable Surname?" ”
"I don't dare to take the word respectful, Sikong Mansion Peng Chen Jifang." The man made a move.
It turned out to be someone from Sikong Mansion, and that was my father Cao Cao's person! Peng is probably a secretary-like position. No wonder you know me, maybe he's seen me and I haven't met him. Cao Pi silently recited Chen Jifang a few times in his heart, and concluded that he had not heard of this person's name, so he immediately smiled and said: "I don't have any money on me, but this Xiannong statue looks like he is destined for me, and I don't know if I can cut my love." "The mouth is still called the man to obey.
"Oh?" Chen Jifang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "This statue of Xiannong is not a rare object, the second son thinks that this thing is fateful, and he can take it, but.... There is a government decree that merchants can't force them to buy and sell, even if they lead the court, they have to do business in a proper manner, if they send things to the second son... The subordinate is in office in Sikong Mansion again, so it is inevitable that there will be this suspicion of private bribery. ”
Hey? Surprised in his heart, Cao Pi's first reaction when he heard this was that this person had an unusual background. If it's just an ordinary junior official of Sikong Mansion who recognizes Cao Pi and wants a broken clay elephant, then he can take it if he wants, how can he say so much? But this person didn't say no, obviously he just asked for something.
"Do you do business, there are comings and goings, what you want, just ask, if there is, we will change."
"I heard that the son has few talents, and he has read through the ancient and modern classics, and this thing of writing poetry must be difficult for the son, and the officials are bold, and they want to ask the son to improvise a poem, and this ancestor will be regarded as a reward."
"Poetry?" The poems of this year should be the poetry style contained in the Han Yuefu, and the fu is something similar to prose, Qu Yuan's "Lisao" can be regarded as a kind of fu. This Fu Cao Pi is unfamiliar, but Han Yuefu poems can come to one or two sentences, to the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yuefu poems from miscellaneous words to five words, such as Cao Cao's "Artemisia Lixing" is five words of Yuefu.
When it comes to composing poems, Cao Pi doesn't, but it's not very difficult to recite poems, in his previous life, his father liked to have a sentence or two, but now that he has changed his official language, it will be more interesting to read.
"Then I read it? Remember, I'll only read it once. Cao Pi already remembered a Yuefu poem in his mind, and although he didn't remember who the author was, it sounded good.
"Huh?" Chen Jifang was a little surprised, although the people in Sikong Mansion said that Cao Pi was famous, and even Xun Yue Xun Zhongyu, a genius of the Xun family who had been the second son's chair, was full of praise for him, but not everyone has the ability to make poetry in this moment, he Chen Jifang has this ability, but he didn't expect that the second son in front of him could also do it, not to mention that the other party was just a ten-year-old boy in charge.
Chen Jifang's original intention was just to embarrass the second son, and then make a poem to make fun of the other party, and then give the statue of Xiannong to the second son of the Cao family.... It should be the eldest prince. Let him be impressed by his talent and learning, and when the second son knows his origin in the future, he may reuse his Yingchuan Chen family.
These abacus are what Chen Jifang will fight after receiving the news of Cao Ang's death, if it is really just a second son to get the pottery statue, just give it to him directly, don't take such painstaking efforts. But now, the second son of the Cao family has made the next move, and he will soon return the move, in desperation, Chen Jifang waved his hand at the young man: "Serve with a knife and pen"
Cao Pi laughed secretly in his heart, how could he not know this kind of self-marketing means, not to mention that he is a family student, and those young teachers in colleges and universities in later generations like to ask themselves with difficult problems, and he will explain them after asking them, in order to show that he specializes in this kind of problem, and after speaking, he shows that he wants to engage in research with Professor Cao.
After all, he is a reader! Why don't you think about it, showing your wisdom in front of someone who can control your destiny is sometimes a kind of death. Cao Pi also sighed in his heart, he was not a narrow-minded person, so he began to recite poetry.
