Chapter 12: Impermanence

Wang Lun felt infinitely embarrassed about what happened to Li Bai, it was really a bleak night. At the same time, he thought that this was completely Li Bai's greed, why did he drink so much wine, he was drunk like a bump all day long, and he didn't like anyone like it.

He thought that his heartfelt advice would make Li Bai restrain himself, but Li Bai actually rebelled, saying: "It's because I have nothing to do that I toast and drink with others." My official position itself is idle, and I am bored and panicked. I really want to do something, and I won't shirk it if I do it to a prime minister. And I have an unknown secret when I drink, that is, Yang Guifei especially likes to watch me drink, thinking that I am full of personality and charm, and in order to please her, even if I drink my stomach rotten, I will not hesitate. ”

Jiang Zhongxun, Jiang Caiping, Wang Lun and Liang Xingfa all praised Li Bai's spirit of self-harm for love.

Liang Xingfa asked Li Bai: "I heard that you drink and get drunk, sometimes to find inspiration for your creation, right?" ”

Li Baibai glanced at him and said, "So there is such a ridiculous statement." After drinking, my head is dizzy, and I only have a quilt in my eyes, where I think of such a nerve-wracking thing as creation, my head will explode. The body will also be very uncomfortable, and I can't vomit if I want to, and I really want to die. Therefore, I advise you to stay away from this false view. ”

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Wang Lun asked Li Bai with concern what his future plans were?

Li Bai said: "I have been friends with the poet saint Du Fu for a long time, and I want to go to Luoyang to learn from him. Ladies and gentlemen, the green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and there will be a period in the future. ”

Liang Xingfa said to Li Bai: "We want to ask you to help do something, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Li Bai said: "You have saved my life, and I deserve to repay it." If there is anything you command, I will not shirk. ”

Liang Xingfa said: "Your drunken sword calligraphy is unparalleled in the world, I want you to help me write some advertising words." ”

Li Bai looked up to the sky heartily and laughed. He also thought that Liang Xingfa and others would ask him to do something ******** or pick quarrels and provoke troubles and other difficult things, but he didn't expect it to be as simple as just writing a few words, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, so he happily agreed.

Liang Xingfa wanted to completely knock down Wanda Inn in terms of hotels.

He hung a banner at the door, which read, "Champion Suite, Supreme Enjoyment." ”

It came from the handwriting of the poet fairy Li Bai, and it immediately attracted many scholars who came from the south to Beijing to rush to Beijing to come and stay. People who are not readers but know how to read also come here, and everyone wants to see what the so-called champion suite looks like.

Walking into the house, people felt a burst of bookish fragrance, because Li Bai's poems were hung on the walls. Literate readers are deeply fascinated by those otherworldly poems, and they are reluctant to leave after a long time.

Tourists who originally lived in Wanda Inn couldn't resist the temptation of the champion suite, and checked out one after another and stayed at Caiping Inn to feel the profound cultural heritage there.

The Wanda couple did their best to keep the guests, even sparing no expense, providing them with free food and helping to serve water for washing their feet.

But people don't eat their set, because everyone is saying that after living in the champion suite, my father and mother no longer have to worry about their imperial examination.

Watching the guests leave one after another, Wanda and his wife were so angry that they stomped their feet and scolded.

Anger can make people lose their minds, and they go so far as to overbearing the double rent of their guests.

In the face of the guests' questioning, they said that they would be fined liquidated damages if they left halfway. The guests are not stupid fish to be slaughtered, how can they be convinced, the two sides are arguing and arguing.

In the end, Wanda still had to return the overcharged money to the guests obediently, because he was a cheap bone and was not beaten and dishonest.

Wanda saw that Liang Xingfa was blowing advertisements here, and the guests came like clouds, and he had an idea.

He didn't want to learn one and learn two, but to be a little more flexible, and he felt that he was very creative.

The banner he hung read, "The Prime Minister's Suite, elegant and generous." ”

Sure enough, as he expected, people came to stay with curiosity, wanting to taste what it was like to be a prime minister under one man and above ten thousand. For a while, customers poured in like a tide, revitalizing the Wanda Inn that was on the verge of closure.

Mr. and Mrs. Wanda danced happily in the room, they hadn't been so happy in a long time. His wife hugged him excitedly and kissed him wildly, and said a very sweet word, which meant that she never doubted her own vision, and knew that sooner or later he would have a lot of money. He was so excited to hear her love words that he pushed her down on the bed and desperately turned over the clouds, the bed squeaked and almost broke.

The next day, Wanda and his wife thoroughly understood what it means to be happy and sad.

Wanda used the name of the most greedy prime minister in the dynasty to blow advertisements to make money without giving Yang Guozhong any benefits, how could the insatiable Yang Guozhong endure this breath and decided to teach Wanda, who is ignorant of current affairs, a lesson.

He sent someone to collect an additional heavy tax on Wanda, the amount of which matched Wanda's name, that is, 10,000 taels of silver a year.

Frightened, Wanda cried, saying that his entire net worth was not worth 10,000 taels, and begged the prime minister's subordinates to keep the silver.

Yang Guozhong was indifferent, there was no bargaining in his world, but he could be flexible and take something valuable as collateral.

Wanda's most valuable thing is his house, but this is the source of his life and the air he depends on for survival, wouldn't taking his house be tantamount to killing him?

Therefore, he was unwilling to give it, so when he was in a hurry, he went to the yamen to complain, and if he tried to make a big trouble, Yang Guozhong would be forced to give up occupying his house under the pressure of public opinion.

It turns out that Wanda is still very naΓ―ve, although she has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, she does not understand officialdom.

As soon as the magistrate heard that Wanda was going to sue the prime minister, who was even bigger than him, he immediately blasted Wanda out of the gate on the charge of disturbing the court, and if he couldn't drive him away, he beat him with 30 boards and then drove him away, so painful that he no longer dared to get close to the yamen for half a step.

In the end, Yang Guozhong expropriated Wanda's house in the name of the five-house conjoined family.

Wanda and his wife cried and grabbed the ground, and when they were leaving, they knelt down and begged Yang Guozhong to leave him some silver to let them live.

It's a pity that there is no mercy in Yang Guozhong's cognition, and some are just killed.

Seeing that his wife still had some meat on her, he simply arrested her and went to a brothel. Originally, he also wanted to arrest Wanda to serve in the army, but when he was dying, he decisively pretended to be dead, and actually escaped this last catastrophe for him and was thrown into the wild.

Liang Xingfa and others witnessed the whole process of Wanda Inn from strength to destruction, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Jiang Zhongxun lamented: "Wanda's failure is that he still eats too little rice and lacks life experience, so he is not tactful and thoughtful enough. ”

Jiang Caiping lamented: "I think Wanda's failure is that the two couples focus on feelings more than money. When you are in trouble, you should support each other instead of fighting each other. Husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken.

Wang Lun sighed: "Wanda's failure is really a cycle of heavenly principles, and the retribution is not happy. Whether you are a person or do something, you should have compassion, and if you have compassion, you are benevolent, and you are invincible. To do things with compassion is to be benevolent, and to be benevolent. ”

Li Bai sighed: "Wow." Wanda's failure lies in the fact that he can't see the officialdom clearly, and how can ordinary people fight with officials. This also shows that things can be eaten indiscriminately, and words cannot be talked indiscriminately. ”

Liang Xingfa sighed: "......"

Li Bai's task was completed, and he decided to leave for Luoyang in the afternoon. He had always been accustomed to traveling all over the world, and he stayed in one place for a short time, and before leaving, he repeatedly thanked everyone.

Wang Lun was reluctant to give up on his idol and insisted on sending Li Bai for a ride. Li Bai couldn't resist him, so he could help him.

Wang Lun knew that Li Bai was addicted to alcohol, and if there was no alcohol to drink during the journey, he would suffocate to death, so he personally picked two loads of wine and sang a parting song to send Li Bai on the boat.

Before getting on the boat, Li Bai said to Wang Lun: "Thank you for giving me wine so generously, I will miss you." I'll write to you when I get the chance, and come and play with me if you have the chance. ”

Wang Lun said to Li Bai: "Don't thank each other. Although I give you alcohol to drink, I still don't approve of you drinking so much, and it's best if you quit. I'll miss you too, and if you're tired of playing elsewhere, you'll have to come back to me, so that I can do my landlord's friendship again. ”

Li Bai looked at the river affectionately, and suddenly an inspiration sprung up, and he wanted to compose a poem to commemorate the pure friendship between them. Wang Lun was so happy that he was about to go crazy, and he dreamed that Li Bai could write a poem for him alone and win his fame before and after his death.

The poet immortal recited in a bone-headed manner: "Li Bai will take a boat and want to go,

I suddenly heard the sound of singing on the shore.

Peach Blossom Lake is thousands of feet deep,

It's not as good as Wang Lun to send me love.

Wang Lun was excited and puzzled at the same time, and asked Li Bai: "Why do you want to use a sudden word?" ”

Li Bai said: "This can increase the expression effect of feelings." ”

The boat was about to leave, and Li Bai said to Wang Lun: "You must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, brother, take care." ”

After Wang Lun helped him put away his things, he also said to him that he cherished it.

The two hugged affectionately.

Li Bai: "Woo woo woo ......"

Wang Lun: "Woo woo woo ......"

After all, there is no such thing as an indispensable feast in life.
