Chapter 129: Invite Wang Bo
Wang Bo looked at the young man, only to feel a little familiar, suddenly, he remembered something, smiled, and arched his hand: "It turned out to be a virtuous brother, we really haven't seen each other for many years." ”
Wu Qing was a little excited, he was really happy to meet Wang Bo again, this talented man had a short life, but his fate was bumpy. Wu Qing said: "Brother Zi'an, please sit down, Xiao Er come here!" ”
Wang Bo was naturally not polite, so he sat next to him. Xiao Er walked over with a surprised look on his face and asked, "What do you have to do with the guest officer?" ”
Wu Qing said with a smile: "Whatever Brother Zi'an wants to eat and drink, it will be counted in my account." ”
Wang Bo's life is not very rich now, so he thanked him: "Then thank you brother Xian!" ”
Wu Qing smiled: "If you can meet an old friend in another country, can you be happier than this?" Since Brother Zi'an is sitting at the same table, let's eat and drink with confidence, and say goodbye after it's over! ”
Wang Bo was not polite, so he ordered the signature dishes of Baidielou and the popular sake. Soon, Xiao Er brought the dishes and a pot of sake.
Wang Bo said with a smile: "Since the sake came out, the other wines have lost their taste, and now Wang always likes to drink a pot to make the virtuous brother smile." ”
Wu Qing sighed in his heart, as soon as his distilled liquor came out, many of the Datang liquors were estimated to be gradually eliminated. He couldn't help but feel a little sorry, but in fact, those wines were still very good, and it was difficult to get drunk after drinking them. However, as the brewing technique continues to improve, fermented sake will gradually become obsolete, which is a kind of inevitability.
"Brother Zi'an is a true elegant person, and junior brother, I am a really rough person." Wu Qing was modest.
The people of the Tang Dynasty all know that Wu Qing is a literati, ranking first among the five talents, and now he says that he is a rough person, who believes it? Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "If the virtuous brother is a rough person, then there will be no rough people in the world." ”
Wu Qing laughed, and then poured a bowl of Rao Chun. said: "This bowl of respect for you and my brother meet, it's done!" ”
Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Wu Qing to be so affectionate, so he quickly poured a cup and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the virtuous brother, Bo, this life is unforgettable!" ”
After that, the two of them covered their robes and drank down.
However, in the time of a stick of incense, Wu Qing and the others finished eating. Wu Qing invited Wang Bo to live in the Hundred Butterfly Building, and the two of them slept together that night, talking about the contemporary poetry style of the Tang Dynasty, and talking about some experiences in the past few years, as well as expounding the ideals of various autonomous countries.
Wu Qing only knew. Wang Bo joined the army in Yuzhou in the third year of Xianheng, and was later sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn for killing officials and slaves without permission. His father, Wang Fuchou, was also demoted to the rank of Jiaozhi County. Just when the emperor changed the name of the year to amnesty the world, Wang Bo was pardoned, and since then he has studied the manuscript left by his grandfather Wang Tong in his hometown Longmen, and continued to compile the unfinished book of his grandfather. This year, Wang Bo missed his father, so he went south to visit. Prepare to cross the sea to visit my father.
In Wu Qing's memory, Wang Bo seems to have been drowned, could it be that he crossed the sea to see his father this time? Thinking about it, Wu Qing made a decision. said: "Brother Zi'an, now Ling Zun is alive, but he is far away. If Brother Zi'an can contribute to the court, he will see your father and son in the future, why worry about such a difficult and dangerous road, I think Brother Zi'an should put his mind on it. ”
Wang Bo lay on the side, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought, in fact, he was just quietly thinking about it, the road to Jiaozhi was far and difficult, and the coiling on his body was insufficient. But my father was demoted to Jiaozhi because of myself, if I didn't go to visit, my father would be cold, how should the world evaluate myself, and how could my conscience be at ease?
"Virtuous brother, don't persuade me, my father is degraded because of me, I should go to visit." Wang Bo said.
Wu Qing didn't want this talent to die, so he said: "Brother Zi'an is talking about human nature, but according to the younger brother's opinion, as parents, it's no wonder that they want to see their children get ahead, and they will be proud of it." No matter how much they suffer, they will be satisfied. On the other hand, if the children are not productive, no matter how glorious they are, they will be heartbroken. If Brother Zi'an went to visit his father at this time, how should Uncle Wang feel? ”
After a moment of silence, Wang Bo sighed and said: "What the virtuous brother said is exact, it is Bo who is not thoughtful, just ask which parents in the world do not want to see their children be able to glorify their ancestors." But now that I'm white and have no way, what should I do? He suddenly thought of Wu Qing's identity, and couldn't help but look at Wu Qing with a brick.
Wu Qing was very awkward about sleeping with Wang Bo, but he still felt that he should follow the example of the ancients, wouldn't this be more closer? Feeling Wang Bo's eager gaze, Wu Qing sighed: "Now I am not treated by the emperor, although I have been pardoned for the sins of exile and freed, I can't enter the capital division, so I have the idea of visiting the world." If Brother Zi'an is willing, why don't we go together and travel all over the world, waiting for the opportunity! ”
Wang Bo's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment, but he thought that if he could really climb the branch of Wuqing, he would definitely soar in the future, and at that time, he would go to welcome his father's return, and he would be full of father-son love.
"Why is it so shy that I really don't dare to travel anymore." Wang Bo sighed.
Wu Qing laughed and said, "Since I invited Zi'an to visit together, how can I let Brother Zi'an break the bank?" If Brother Zi'an is willing, he will be a staff officer by his younger brother's side in the future. ”
When Wang Bo heard this, he immediately understood that this was Wu Qing recruiting himself, if he was a few years ago, he would have unceremoniously refused, but after too many things, he had long lost the arrogance of the past, thought about it, and said: "Since the prince cherishes Wang Bo's talent, Bo dares not to serve his life?" ”
The two got up, Wu Qing grabbed Wang Bo's hand and said, "If I am glorious in this life, I will never forget Zi'an." ”
Wang Bo's heart was calm, he would not lose his heart because of the young man in front of him, he said: "Nabo can only kowtow to thank you!" With that, he was about to get off the couch.
Wu Qing hurriedly grabbed it and said, "You and my brother for many years, why be so polite." ”
Wang Bo had no choice but to give up, and the two of them confirmed their identities, and what they said suddenly had a lot of nutrition. In this way, the two actually discussed until dawn.
It wasn't until the rooster crowed that the two fell asleep.
It's a pity that it didn't take long, and he was woken up by the long Shi Taoren who came to invite, Wu Qing's face was unhappy, but he still gave face very much, and after yawning and washing with Wang Bo, he saw Tao Ren.
Tao Ren saw that Wu Qing and Wang Bo didn't wake up, and he was furious, he was a fifth-grade official, how could he feel like a subordinate of this kid, the more he thought about it, the more he didn't feel good, so that after Wu Qing and Wang Bo finished breakfast, Tao Ren didn't say a word.
At this point, Tao Ren hated Wu Qing.
A group of people from Wuqing, under the leadership of Tao Ren, toured the scenery all the way, and after an hour, they came to the destination, Tengwang Pavilion!
Looking at it from afar, I saw that King Teng's Pavilion was very magnificent, with four floors of towers, eaves and arches, showing the architectural style of the Tang Palace, and kneading into the grace and tenderness of the south of the Yangtze River, perhaps it should have joined King Teng's butterfly-like heart.
At this time, on the fourth floor of King Teng's Pavilion, there were already a lot of Jiangnan talents, some were shaking their heads and chanting poems, some were talking about next year's imperial examination, and of course some were talking about the imperial situation.
Someone saw Wu Qing and Wang Bo coming together, and couldn't help laughing: "You see, if the first and second talents are also invited, this grand event will be passed on to future generations!" ”
"Cut, it's in vain!" Someone naturally disdainful.
Tao Ren was waiting for the governor Yan Boyu under the pretext of waiting, but he was still behind. Wu Qing and Wang Bo handed the reins to Wu Yidao and Ya Jiu, and then walked side by side. I saw a thin man in front of him, and his appearance was also handsome, and the man bowed deeply and said, "Wu Zizhang has seen Wu Gongzi, Brother Zi'an!" ”
Wu Qing and Wang Bo bowed and said, "I've seen Brother Zizhang!" ”
"Wu Gongzi, Brother Zi'an, please come and sit up!" Wu Zizhang got out of the way. Wu Qing and Wang Bo were not polite, and after giving up, they went upstairs.
When I got to the fourth floor, I saw that the talented and beautiful people were enjoying and playing poems, and someone had already seen Wu Qing and Wang Bo and walked over and asked, "Are you Wu Qing and Wang Bo?" ”
"Exactly!"
"Yan Du Du has arrived!"
There was a shout downstairs, and I saw a person who was quite majestic, dressed in civilian clothes, and walked towards King Teng's Pavilion surrounded by a crowd of people. (To be continued......)
