Chapter 494: Peach Blossom with a Human Face
With the sprinkling of poplar nectar, a more magical scene appeared.
Like a hologram, the peach-colored glow is even more radiant, reflected from the bodies of the two porcelain dolls. Not only Zhou Deqing, but also Lao Zeng and Lao Guo all discovered this scene: in an ancient boudoir, a man with a decent appearance was putting on makeup for a woman in front of a bronze mirror.
What's even worse is that this scene seems to be quite real, which once made Zhou Deqing think that it was reality, and they were only in a virtual space.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Deqing asked in a muttered voice.
Zeng Lao was a little more "erudite" in the end, but he also opened his mouth in shock, and said after a long time: "This ...... Could it be an allusion to the open thrush?"
"Zhang Chang thrush, what kind of allusion is this?" Lao Guo's nerves were a little bigger, although he was shocked, but he was not like Zeng Lao. After all, he is a person with "three highs", and his mood is quite good. If he is in a bad mood, I'm afraid he will burst his blood vessels......
"When Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, there was an official named Zhang Chang, when this person was Jingzhao Yin, when the imperial court discussed major matters, he quoted scriptures and handled them appropriately, and the ministers admired him very much. However, Zhang Chang did not have the prestige of being an official, and sometimes when he went down to the court, when he passed through Zhangtai Street, he asked the coachman to run the horse quickly, and patted the horse with a folding fan. Zhang Chang often painted his wife's eyebrows at home, and it is said in Chang'an City that Zhang Jingzhao's eyebrows were very charming. He has a good relationship with his wife, because his wife was injured when she was young and has a defect in the corner of her eyebrows, so he has to paint his wife's eyebrows every day before going to work. Yousi used these things to participate in Zhang Chang, and once, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty asked Zhang Chang about this matter in front of many ministers in the court. Zhang Chang said, 'The pleasure of the boudoir is more than that of the thrush.' ’
It means that between husband and wife, in the boudoir, there are more fun things than thrushes, you just need to ask me whether the country's major affairs are done, whether I paint thrushes for my wife or not, what do you care about it? It is said that Zhang and his wife are in the same village, when he was a child, Zhang was naughty, once threw stones, accidentally injured his wife, but escaped at that time, after growing up to become an official, he heard his family say that his wife has not been able to marry, so he came to the door to propose, since then, every day for his wife thrush.
Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty knew the inside story, cherished Zhang Chang's talent, and did not blame him. However, Zhang Chang was not reused in the end. This allusion is called "Zhang Chang Thrush", and Han Shou stealing incense, similar to stealing jade, Shen Yue's thin waist is called the ancient four winds (feng) rhyme. ”
After listening to Zeng Lao's explanation, Lao Guo suddenly realized: "I see, it's really an amazing love story, and I even gave up my future for my wife." ”
Zhou Deqing had another question: "Then this peach-colored light, again?"
It should be from the "Peach Yao" in the "Book of Songs": the peach is dying, scorching its glory. The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a fact. The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming. The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. It is most appropriate to use peach blossoms as a metaphor for the bride who is about to get married. Therefore, the ancients had a great Confucian comment: 'However, the peach has a flower (flower), and it is also when it is married. ’”
Zeng Lao's poetry allusions, it came as soon as he opened his mouth, even Zhou Deqing, he was a little admired: "Zeng Lao's knowledge is really profound......"
"Where, where, I admire Master Tang even more!" Zeng Lao sighed, "I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful allusion for a while, but Master Tang thought of it." This kind of knowledge and cultivation is much more powerful than mine...... The problem is, he's so young, and I'm a lot older. ”
"You can't say that......"
I don't know when, Tang Chen had already figured everything out, and walked over with a smile: "Elder Zeng, what you just saw is just a psychological hint brought to you by your aura, not a real phenomenon. Besides, I don't have the ability to do this kind of trick and foot on the magic weapon! What 'open thrush' and 'peach dying' are just your will. ”
Tang Chen spread his hands, indicating that he had absolutely not done anything, but no one present believed him.
Lao Guo smiled and said: "Fortunately, Ah Jiu said that it was 'peach peach', otherwise I thought it was 'peach blossom with human face'!"
"'Peach Blossom with a Human Face'? What kind of stalk is this?" Tang Chen was stunned.
Lao Guo laughed out loud: "'Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The face of the person is gone, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze!"
Zeng Lao said leisurely: "You are a person who can distort the verses. Master Tang, don't pay attention to him, he's not serious. ”
Hearing this, Tang Chen, the "old driver", seemed to come back to his senses, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "I didn't expect that the brains of the old men who have been over half a hundred years old are also very big!"
“...... This poem was originally a famous poem by the great poet Cui Hu of the Tang Dynasty, and there is also a love story hidden in it. On the surface, the poem looks like a poignant love story, but in reality, the story has a happy ending. Cui Hu is a scholar in the Tang Dezong Zhen period, born in a scholarly family, with pure talent, handsome talent, high and arrogant temperament, buried in the cold window on weekdays, rarely interacts with people, even if he occasionally travels, he also likes to be alone. In the Qingming season of this year, it coincides with a rare sunny weather, with peach and willow green, butterflies dancing and bees flying, a gentle breeze, and spring attacking. In the warm spring sunshine in the afternoon, Cui Hushen, who had been studying hard all morning, was infected by the breath of spring and decided to go to the suburbs to taste the warmth of spring. So he put down his books and walked out of the city alone with great interest. I saw a village house, surrounded by peach blossoms, and the scenery was pleasant. When he was thirsty, he knocked at the door and begged for a drink. Moments later, a beautiful lady opened the door. When Cui Hu saw it, he fell in love. During the Qingming Festival in the second year, when Cui Hu revisited the old place, he saw that the courtyard wall was the same and the door was locked. He was stunned, so he inscribed a poem on the door: 'Last year, in this door, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ’
Cui Huchengnan visited the old days, failed to see Jiang Niang, after returning home, his heart has not been able to let go, and his mind keeps asking: Where did the Yiren go?—— sweep the tomb, visit relatives, go on an outing, and even get married? As a result, he couldn't read at all, and even tea and rice could hardly swallow. So, a few days later, he went to the south of the city again. ”
"The result?"
Lao Guo chased and asked, Zeng Lao couldn't help but glance at him: "How old are you, and you still want to hear the story of talented and beautiful women so much?"
"Human nature!" Lao Guo said disapprerovingly.
In the end, Cui Hu really found this beautiful girl and became husband and wife. This girl is not only diligent in running the house, filial piety to her in-laws, and harmonious neighbors, but also adds fragrance to her red sleeves at night, and reads for her husband, which makes Cui Hu have no distractions, concentrate on homework, and improve her studies day by day. In the twelfth year of Tang Dezong's Zhenyuan, Cui Hu rushed to take the test, won the Jinshi and the first, and was released as an official, and the official career was smooth sailing, and the official went to Lingnan to make an envoy. Under Sasuke, who was a virtuous helper, he was an upright official, had outstanding political achievements, and was deeply loved by the people. Such an ending, are you satisfied?" Zeng Lao said angrily and funny.
