Chapter 302: Champion Island (I)
Under the snowflakes flying in the sky, the winding corridor, the pond where the remnants of the lotus stand, the solemn ancient temple, the incense wafting around, the melodious and moving bells, the seven-foot green silk as black as ink, the nine-foot long robe as white as snow, and the gorgeous twelve single clothes. There are also hunting clothes and black hats, wide long sleeves, pink faces and black teeth, Noh dances, and waka haiku, endless elegance and glitz, which constitute the charming Heian period.
But Chen Ke just wants to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible, and this trip to Japan made him deeply realize that there is really only one place on the earth in the eleventh century, which is suitable for a guy like him who likes to enjoy living, and that is the Great Song Dynasty!
But the retention of the Japanese minister was too enthusiastic, and it took him a lot of effort to meet their desire to chase stars, and it was easy to determine the return date...... Of course, he could just ignore it and leave, but why did he come to Kyoto? Didn't you want to cheat Sado Island?
These days, he has been torn around among those ministers and ladies all day long, and it seems that he has not done anything serious, but in fact, he has put a lot of effort into it without showing a trace:
The fortune ship was full of silk, porcelain, tea, as well as the four treasures of the study and the treasures of utensils, all of which he prepared for the nobles of Kyoto...... These things are already very precious, and they are gifts from the Great Song Dynasty, so naturally each one of them is worth a fortune. Whatever is received, it is all kept as a family heirloom.
There are even more precious ones, which are his ink treasures and inscriptions. According to the statistics of later generations, Chen Ke stayed in Tokyo for 31 days, and was invited to write a total of 770 inscriptions, compose 330 poems, write 218 lyrics, and write more than 30 poems. In the history of world literature, there has never been such a prolific literati in a short period of time. And there are many heirlooms among them.
Well, actually, these verse articles. It's not his improvisation, it's his accumulation over the years. Don't forget, who did he grow up with, and who were his teachers? In the more than ten years of study, he has to sing poems with these literary giants, or at least future literary giants, almost every day, and naturally accumulates a stomach full of poems. No matter what the situation, he can easily adapt to the situation......
In addition, he borrowed the famous articles from Lao Xin, Lao Jiang, Lao Li, and Lao Lu. made his thousands of poems above the level shine. Ambilight ......
Since then, there has often been such a scene in Kyoto City, Japan, with a thin and noble son with a sickly face. Holding the maid's shoulders weakly, he watched the gorgeous chrysanthemums in autumn in the Buddhist temple. A gust of west wind swept the fallen leaves on his cheeks, and the noble prince couldn't help coughing lightly a few times, and whispered:
'Mo Dao does not kill the soul, and the curtain sweeps the west wind. People are thinner than yellow flowers......
When I looked down again, I found that the white silk scarf that wiped the corners of my mouth was stained with a faint stain of blood.
The young girls and ladies who are pregnant with spring put 'the flowers floating on their own.' One lovesickness, two sorrows. There is no way to eliminate this. I frowned, but I thought ...... I had sung it ten thousand times.
Look at the cheeks again. was washed away by two ditches by lovesick tears, and then fainted because he was too excited.
Naturally, the women of deep resentment want to chant 'seek and seek. Deserted, miserable and miserable. Of course, tears are also indispensable, and fainting is also indispensable.
In a word. Chen Ke used a super-dense saturation attack to complete the cultural invasion of Japan in the Heian period. It also allowed him to establish himself in one fell swoop, and his lofty position in Fusang for thousands of years......
Of course, he didn't expect such an effect, in fact, his original intention was just to let the Japanese give away Sado Island. For this reason, on various occasions, he used gorgeous poems to compare Sado Island to his island of love, so that the princesses and ladies in Kyoto knew that the love between him and Miss Liu was sublimated there. …,
He also expressed his strong desire to return to Sado Island in the future...... There is a way to come and not be rude, Lao Tzu gave you such a generous gift, it depends on how you repay!
However, in Japan, there is only one person who can have the final say, not the emperor, but the Sekihaku!
Chen Ke waited and waited, and finally waited for the opportunity to face Lai Tong alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day before he departed, Fujiwara Yoritsu held a banquet to see him off at his residence, Koyo-in.
After the banquet, Lai Tong invited Chen Ke to the back house for tea, and the two got rid of the nobles who were eager to stick to Chen Ke and came to the warm pavilion on the waterfront rockery in the back garden.
Under the wooden floor of the warm hall, there should be heating facilities such as earth dragons, and Chen Ke sat on it according to Tang custom, and he didn't feel cold at all. Behind the screen, there are female prostitutes who play drowsy harmony with instruments that resemble a single string.
Chen Ke sat in the guest seat, and the old man sitting opposite him was the first person in Japan to establish the heyday of the Fujiwara clan with his father Fujiwara Michicho, the first minister of power in Japan who had been regent for more than 40 years, and Sekibai Fujiwara Yoritsu.
Unlike those juniors who apply grease and powder, and shave their eyebrows, Lai Tong's face is still raw, he wears a loose and light robe, and although he is thin and old, his face is full of wrinkles, but he still looks very dignified.
He has the qualifications to be a maverick, and no one dares to say anything.
If it weren't for this, Fujiwara Yoritsu would not have lived twice the average life expectancy of the minister, and he still didn't feel like he was waning. His old eyes full of wrinkles narrowed into a slit at the moment, looking at Chen Ke, who was burly and handsome, and didn't know what he was thinking.
To the right of the two, Fujiwara Yoritsu's side room, Akizuki Palace, is performing the Japanese art of tea. She was embroidered with bird and tree patterns, but the twelve orders were as thin as silkworm wings, which was obviously much lighter than the ordinary princess worn, and of course, the price was so high that only the Bai family could afford it.
Watching Qiuyue Palace perform the whole set of tea arts, Chen Ke was silent on the surface, and secretly pursed his lips, saying in his heart that this technique is too far behind my little frost.
But as an idol of all Japan, Chen Ke is naturally rude. Qiuyue Palace lightly turned the tea bowl twice, and pointed the pattern on the tea bowl at him, which was the Tang ceremony of offering tea. Chen Ke naturally responded with Tang courtesy...... Take the tea bowl with both hands, gently turn the two sides, put the pattern on the bowl to the tea offerer, and raise the tea bowl to the forehead to show the return of the gift.
Only then did he pick up the teacup and sniff the tea with an intoxicated face, but he was almost sneezed by the fragrant tea soup. He endured and endured it before he held back the image-ruining sneeze.
Then 'three turns of the tea bowl to suck slowly', that is, drink it all in three times. When drinking tea, the mouth should also make a squeak sound, indicating that the drink is very fragrant, in order to show appreciation and praise for the owner...... This is not a Tang ceremony, but a Japanese self-creation, and the ancient Romans had to burp hard at banquets.
After serving tea, Fujiwara Yoritsu picked up his pen and slowly wrote some parting words. Like Fujiwara Jingqing, he only knew Chinese characters and could not speak Chinese. During Chen Ke's stay in Kyoto, he was translated by a monk who was proficient in Chinese, but in this conversation, Lord Guan Bai obviously did not want others to participate.
Chen Ke also responded with a pen, full of gratitude.
This made Fujiwara Yoritsu feel very embarrassed, and asked him with a smile: 'What do you think of Fuso?' ’
Chen Ke thought for a while and wrote:
'The country is compared to the Central Plains, and the people are the same as the ancients.
The well-dressed Tang system, the courtesy of the Han monarchs.
The silver urn stores sake, and the golden knife is covered with scales.
Every year in February and March, the peach and plum spring from Yangyang. ’
This is actually the Ming Dynasty, the envoy of the Japanese State replied to the poem "Answer to the Ming Emperor's Question about Japanese Customs and Poems", which was full of boasting, but was cut half to death by Zhu Yuanzhang on the spot. …,
Fuck, little Wa Guo, dare to call himself the orthodoxy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, don't you laugh at me that China is no longer pure?
But Chen Ke's use to shoot Fujiwara Laitong's sycophants couldn't be more suitable. Sure enough, seeing that the old man was so happy that his beard was straight, he applauded again and again, and even said that he didn't dare to take it, and only after a while did he cautiously ask: "The poem of the lord is really wonderful, and the old man loves it very much, but I don't know what the sentence of 'golden knife and scales' means?" ’
Only then did Chen Ke realize that grandma's, these grandsons are vegetarians. At this time, he had two choices, one was to tell him that the 'vegetarian scales' were not fish, but that you were using rice to make fish cakes. This thing is a famous confectionery in the Heian period, but no one cuts it with a golden knife. Of course, poets are inherently romantic and uninhibited, and appropriate exaggeration is also allowed.
However, instead of dealing with the past so easily, he chose a more difficult way. I saw him write: 'I have eaten a famous dish in Nagaoka Castle, called 'Yusheng', and I am very impressed......
Ministers have not eaten this dish for decades. So much so that Fujiwara Yoritsu remembered it for a while. It's also thanks to him that he's almost seventy, and if he changes to those short-lived ghosts, he hasn't heard of what Yusheng is.
Since Chen Ke mentioned it, he naturally has to give an explanation, otherwise people will think that the Japanese are stingy. Fujiwara Yoritsu wrote: 'The minister obeyed the order and did not eat. ’
'Samurai edible? ’
'Yes. ’
'That's a pity...... Chen Ke sighed softly.
'Why?' Fujiwara Yoritsu was puzzled.
'Fish eats and lives forever. Chen Ke gave the answer.
"Ahh Fujiwara Yoritsu's face showed a feeling of 'constipation for many years, once smooth', he first muttered excitedly, and then leaned over to give Chen Ke a salute.
Chen Ke didn't help him, plus the language barrier and no nonsense, so he was born to worship this Guan Bai. Just wrote on the paper: 'Why is this Guanbai?' ’
Thank you, sir, for solving the mystery that has plagued you for years. Fujiwara Yoritsu wrote excitedly: "The life span of the princess is less than half that of a samurai, it turns out that he didn't eat fish!" ’
'How much more?' Chen Ke shook his head and listed a few of these guys' acts of death. He really has the heart to let the Japanese minister live a long and healthy life.
If not, how can you fight with those samurai who eat so well and are like wolves and tigers? ――
