Chapter 102: The Way to Fame
"Dad, you said that Li Xiaolangjun has been in for so long, why hasn't he come out yet? Nothing will happen, right? ”
Liu Zhiren and Liu Xuan were in the tea shop opposite Chen Ju's house, waiting for Li Tao while drinking tea. Three pots of tea have been changed, but Li Tao has not yet come out of the house, Liu Zhiren can't help but feel a little anxious.
"What's the matter? Just wait with peace of mind! Liu Xuan was not in a hurry, and continued to enjoy the tea.
Yesterday, Liu Xuanyi and Li Tao said that they were going to meet Chen Juren, and he immediately realized that Li Tao had a new idea, but he couldn't guess it.
In desperation, Liu Xuan had no choice but to ask Li Tao.
Li Tao's answer was very simple: "Change the way to make money, otherwise everyone will starve to death." ”
couldn't ask why, Liu Xuan pestered Li Tao to go together, where can the old father go to Liu Zhiren to rest assured, he must go together. In desperation, Li Tao had no choice but to agree. But when they arrived at the door of Chen Ju's house, Li Tao didn't let them follow, and entered Chen Ju's house alone.
"Dad, you say, why didn't Li Xiaolangjun let us go in together?" Liu Zhiren still has a sad face.
Liu Xuan looked at his son and said with a smile: "Zhiren, it seems that you have always boasted that you were a straightforward person before, when did you become such a mother-in-law?" ”
"Huh? Do I have one? Liu Zhiren was a little stunned.
"Li Xiaolangjun didn't let us follow, there must be a reason for him! When he comes out, don't you know? Why are you nagging here! ”
Liu Zhiren nodded and stopped talking. As soon as he picked up the teacup, he caught a glimpse of Li Tao coming out of the gate of Chen Ju's house. Liu Zhiren was about to catch up, but was dragged by Liu Xuan. It turned out that Chen Juren also came out to congratulate Li Tao.
"Chen Juren, thank you! That's it! Li Tao hugged Chen Juren with a fist.
"Li Xiaolangjun, go slowly, Chen won't send it!" Chen Juren was very polite.
……
On the way back, Liu Xuan and Liu Zhiren walked silently behind Li Tao. Li Tao didn't speak, and seemed to be thinking about something all the way.
Suddenly, Li Tao stopped, and he looked at Liu Xuan fixedly. When Liu Xuan saw Li Tao's gaze, his heart suddenly felt empty.
"Li Xiaolangjun, what's wrong with you?" Liu Zhiren asked on the side.
Li Tao didn't pay attention to Liu Zhiren, but looked at Liu Xuan solemnly: "Old Master Liu, you are a scholar, you help me analyze and analyze, a rich scholar like Chen Juren, what is he lacking most now?" How can he make him pay us willingly? ”
"This ......" Liu Xuan didn't expect Li Tao to ask such a strange question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Seeing Li Tao's appearance, Liu Xuan seemed to be sincerely asking for advice from himself, and after a little thought, he replied: "Although Chen Juren is a literati, he is not short of money, and he has not sought a half-official position. There is only one possibility to organize a poetry club to compose poems and lyrics every day! ”
Li Tao's eyes lit up: "Mr. Liu, do you mean that he is asking for a name?" ”
Liu Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Want to be famous! Want to be famous......" Li Tao kept muttering.
"Being famous" is something that many people dream of! In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, how many people racked their brains in order to become famous. In the later generations of Li Tao's life, it was an era when it was important to become famous, and everyone was trying to show their charm. In order to become famous and change their fate, how many people can be said to be unscrupulous, exhausted their organs, and searched for various ways.
It seems that only by satisfying Chen Juren's desire to become famous, he will willingly take out the money from his pocket.
"Mr. Liu, what are the ways for a literati like Chen Juren to become famous?" Li Tao continued to ask shamelessly.
Liu Xuan said with a smile: "There is no way, literati can take their own poems and visit those who have already become famous in the name of seeking teaching." If you get the appreciation of these famous artists, you will soon be able to become famous. The best place to be famous is Chang'an, where various wealthy families or high-ranking officials often hold banquets, as long as they can improvise poems at the banquet, and under word of mouth, truly talented poets will become famous. Some people who are fortunate enough to be appreciated by the emperor or prime minister can become famous overnight. In addition, it is a poetry club like Chen Juren, and the literati often learn from each other, and they will naturally become famous if they are praised by their peers. ”
The method introduced by Liu Xuan, Li Tao couldn't do it at all. He is a fugitive, for fear of leaking his footprints, will he recognize the wealthy families and high-ranking officials in Chang'an?
"Is there any other way?" Li Tao still didn't give up.
"That's not it, at least there are two ways!" Liu Xuan's words ignited hope in Li Tao's heart again.
"Old Master Liu, say it quickly!"
"One way is to take the Beijing Palace Examination, and only then can you become famous if you pass the top three Jinshi." Ten years of cold windows no one asked, in one fell swoop to become famous all over the world known 'the eternal sayings come from this. ”
Li Tao shook his head like a rattle when he heard this: "Mr. Liu, you still say the second one!" ”
"If the poems made by the literati are sung by artists, this will also make their works widely circulated and even popular."
"Artists singing? Which artists? Li Tao asked puzzled.
"This ......" Liu Xuan's old face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer. In a hurry, Liu Xuan looked at his son: "Zhiren, you explain to Li Xiaolangjun, I'm a little tired of being a father!" ”。
"Huh?" Liu Zhiren didn't expect his father to come to this trick, and he was stunned on the spot.
Li Tao turned his inquiring gaze to Liu Zhiren, and in desperation, Liu Zhiren had no choice but to say: "Naturally, it is a song in some famous **!" ”
"Oh? Since this is the case, Chen Juren has money, why not pay for these songs to sing his poems? Li Tao felt a little strange.
"The song is sung by the customer, and the guest must like it in the end! If the guests don't like it, they will smash the sign. ** are all said to be in the land of ten thousand gold, how can you not distinguish which is more important and look at that little money? Liu Zhiren pouted.
Li Tao nodded: "What kind of songs do these songs usually sing?" ”
"It's usually a fixed song card, and then fill in the poems!" Liu Zhiren replied.
"Isn't there a special piece of music for the poetry of today's literati?" Li Tao felt very strange.
"Very little!"
"Liu Langjun, what are the famous ** in Luzhou?" Li Tao asked casually.
"Then you don't need to ask, it must be the four Huancai Pavilion, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Fengming Courtyard and Jinfeng Tower!" Liu Zhiren cut the railway.
Li Tao nodded with a wicked smile, turned his head to Liu Xuan and said, "Old Master Liu, Liu Langjun seems to be quite familiar with this way!" ”
"You ......" Liu Zhiren's face was flushed, and he pointed at Li Tao but couldn't say a word.
