Chapter 44: A Snowy Night
Li Qing'an came galloping, he turned over and dismounted, and saluted Gao Lishi and Li Linfu, "Humble and ugly!" ”
"That's a high level!" Gao Lishi sighed softly, "Captain Li opened my eyes today." ”
He glared at his polo team again, and scolded secretly: "A bunch of wine bags and rice bags!" ”
As soon as he thought about it, a smile appeared on his face again, "Captain Li, can you also play a few games for me in this polo competition?" ”
"It is an honor to serve Gao Weng, but the name of the humble position has been reported to the Ministry of Rites along with the Anxi team."
"You don't have to worry about that." Li Linfu next to him said with a smile: "The rules are set by people, and they can be slightly modified!" ”
Gao Lishi took a fancy to Li Qing'an, and he also smiled: "I won't embarrass you, even if you participate in the Anxi team's games, as long as you play for me in the key games, as long as you are willing to come, I will pay you 2,000 yuan per game." ”
Li Qingxin jumped in peace, this is a big deal! As long as he plays five games for him, he will earn tens of thousands of family fortunes, but he doesn't know that Gao Lishi is a huge rich man in the world, not to mention that Li Longji rewarded him with countless wealth, he invited guests all over the time during his birthday, and those princes and nobles rang the bell for him to celebrate his birthday, and when he rang a bell, he would have to pay a hundred times, and those who flattered him would knock on twenty pestles not only if they were less, but also ten pestles, and after a birthday banquet, his birthday gifts would be tens of thousands or even more, and giving Li Qingan two thousand yuan a ball was just a drop in the bucket for him.
Although the temptation of money is great, it is not important at this time, Li Qingan saluted again: "It is my honor to play for Gao Weng, Qing'an does not want a penny." ”
Even Li Linfu smiled and said nothing, high! This young man not only plays the ball well, but also is good at seizing opportunities, first sticking to his principles, refusing to leave Anzai, once he gets flexible, he generously agrees, treating money like dung, if he has Colliers as the backstage, is he worried about the future of money?
Gao Lishi really liked him in his heart, so he nodded slowly, "Okay! I've made a note of your favor, and I'm not going to give you a penny, but you'll have to take the reward tonight. ”
He took out a jade plate and handed it to Li Qing'an and said, "With this jade card, you can pay money in the account room, and you can also go unimpeded in my house." ”
"Thank you, Goon!"
.........
After bidding farewell to the Gaolishi Mansion, Li Qingan left with Li Linfu, Li Linfu called Li Qingan to the carriage and said with a smile: "Captain Li, you have to thank me tonight." ”
Li Qingan bowed down and said: "I know in my heart that if it weren't for Xiangguo's recommendation, I wouldn't have this opportunity." ”
"The opportunity is your own seized, and it has nothing to do with me, but you have to remember that no matter how Gao Weng treats you, you are my Li Linfu's person, do you understand?"
Li Linfu's eyes became stern, staring at Li Qing'an without blinking, Li Linfu originally only wanted to use him to lead out of polo, but he didn't expect Li Qing'an to be favored by Gao Lishi, which was really beyond his expectations, he could see that Gao Lishi liked this young man very much, plus he himself had outstanding military achievements, and his future was limitless, this was a useful material, and he had to firmly pinch it in the palm of his hand.
Li Qing'an's heart was like a mirror, and he immediately bowed down and said: "Xiangguo's words are remembered by his subordinates. ”
Li Linfu smiled, he nodded and said, "It's getting late, you don't have to go back, just rest in my house for one night, and go back early tomorrow morning." ”
..........
The snow had long since stopped, and the bright colors of the snow made it difficult to sleep at night, and the courtyard was silent, except for the occasional lantern that quietly appeared from the shadows of the trees and the wall in the distance, and then quickly disappeared, and no one entered the small courtyard from beginning to end.
Li Qing'an was bored and strolled in the courtyard, this is Li Linfu's east guest room, separated from the inner house by a flower wall, the wall is crawled with dense vines, it is winter, the branches and leaves on the vines have withered, from the gap in the vines can clearly see Li Linfu's inner house, although it is called the inner house, but here and Li Linfu's residence is still far away, just a separate courtyard, as cold as the guest room, as if no one lives.
Li Qing'an exhaled a long breath of white air to the sky, sorted out his troubled thoughts, the first night he came to Chang'an, he came into contact with the second and third people of the Tang Dynasty, in his education since childhood, whether it is Li Linfu or Gao Lishi, they are undoubtedly negative characters, they are all spurned ministers, but as he gets older, he begins to slowly realize that history has been dressed too much, the official history of the wild history is confused, and the three large-scale falsification of history since the Ming and Qing dynasties have made it difficult for later generations to see the truth.
For example, the clown of Colliers is mainly from Li Jun's "Miscellaneous Records of the Pine Window" in the Lux taking off his boots, and regardless of whether this Li Jun has detailed historical materials, but there is a problem at the beginning, 'Kaiyuanzhong', Li Bai entered Beijing in the first year of Tianbao, what does it have to do with Kaiyuan?
And the text repeatedly mentions Concubine Taizhen, which is even more ridiculous, Yang Yuhuan entered the palace in the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, and became a female Taoist priest on the second day of the first month of the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, the number is too true, Taizhen is not a concubine, Yang Yuhuan has been infiltrating the palace as a female Taoist, how can he show his head and openly lie in the arms of his father-in-law Li Longji to accept Li Bai's poems?
It wasn't until five years later that Shouwang Li Mao married a new concubine and officially broke away from Yang Yuhuan's husband and wife relationship, and Yang Yuhuan was still vulgarly named a concubine.
Even if Yang Yuhuan accepted Li Bai's poems after becoming a concubine, and was honored as a Gaolishi, how could Li Longji allow him to take off his boots for a Hanlin worship? Take 10,000 steps back, even if Gao Lishi takes off his boots, holds a grudge, and sneers in Li Baishi's secret in front of Yang Guifei, how can outsiders know?
And today he saw the real Colliers, and from a few simple conversations between him and Li Linfu, Li Qingan knew that Colliers was by no means as simple as a courtier.
At this time, there was a sudden melodious sound of the piano in the air, like the sound of heaven in the empty snowy night, unconsciously, Li Qingan was attracted by the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano is like crying, it seems to be telling a woman's tactful heart song, the sound of the piano is sometimes like a spring spring dingdong, as if people see a girl dancing with flowers in the spring, her flower and moon appearance makes people can't tell whether the flower has turned into a person, or a person has become a flower; The sound of the piano is sometimes low and sad, the girl seems to be wandering lonely by the water, and a clear moon is her lonely eyes; The sound of the piano is sometimes like a galloping horse, passionate and enthusiastic, making Li Qingan seem to have returned to the vast and magnificent Anxi, he rode a war horse to gallop on the boundless wilderness, crossed the grassland, crossed the Gobi, bathed in the fiery red of the sunset, and went to the horizon to find the hometown of Luoyue.
"Okay!" Li Qingan blurted out, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a low exclamation came from next door.
Li Qing'an rushed to the flower wall almost without hesitation, and through the withered branches and vines, he saw a woman dressed in white like snow, with a graceful figure, who was hurrying towards the house, and a maid holding a qin followed behind.
"Girl, please wait a minute!" Li Qingan shouted in a low voice.
The girl in white hesitated for a moment, and Li Qingan said again: "Girl, please keep playing, and never disturb again." ”
The girl in white finally walked back into the room, and the door creaked and closed softly.
Li Qingan couldn't help but be a little frustrated, this is the most beautiful piano sound he has heard since he entered the Tang Dynasty, the breeze and the moon, the snow night is silent, only at this time can you hear the sound of the piano played with your heart, but unfortunately it was interrupted by his reckless applause, he looked at it for a long time, the courtyard next door was always silent, and the shadow of the girl in white was no longer seen.
At night, Li Qingan had a dream, the sound of the piano in the dream seemed to come again, the girl in white danced lightly by the water, the long sleeves were in the air, and the dancing clothes were flying, like a fairy in the moon descending to the world, in a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the piano again, for a while, he didn't know whether it was a dream or a reality.
