Episode 7: The Gathering of Storms (2)
I walked slowly past the sound, and saw a man dressed as a rich gentleman sitting on the rock, about thirty years old, and two strong men standing next to him, a thin and short old man, also wearing a blue cloth robe. Zhuang Wuyang's heart suddenly froze, seeing that this person who stroked the qin had romantic qualifications and a noble bearing, and he was obviously very powerful.
At this time, the old man and the two strong men had already seen Zhuang Wuyang and Yingping, and they also looked at them intently, as if they wanted to come over and talk. The man stroked the piano with three fingers, and the sound of the piano stopped.
Zhuang Wuyang arched his hand and said: "It is suitable to listen to Brother Ren's elegant music, the lyrics and songs are all the first to hear, but is there a new sound composed by Brother Tai?" The man laughed, "Exactly." This song "Splendid Qiankun" is a recent work of the younger brother. Your Excellency is a bosom friend, and you want to advise. Zhuang Wuyang said: "Gao Ming, Gao Ming!" In the word, the sentence "Anjian Village Yang Wine Flag" is particularly good. The man's face was happy, and he said, "Brother Tai actually remembers the lyrics, please come and sit down." Zhuang Wuyang thought to himself: "What 'Pan Huangji', 'Li Min leads Luan Yuzhi', and patted the sycophants of the officials and nobles, the style of this song is very low, and it is not a top grade after all." ”
The man smiled slightly and said, "It's rare to meet good news." Please ask Brother Ren's surname. Zhuang Wuyang was famous all over the world, and he didn't want to tell him his real name, so he said casually: "The younger brother's surname is Lu, and his name is Renjia." That's the homonym of the word "passerby A". Then he asked, "May I ask my brother's surname." The man groaned slightly and said, "The younger brother's surname is Wu, and his double name is Zexuan, and he is from Dadu. Listening to the accent of Brother Tai, it seems to be a native of Yangtai? Zhuang Wuyang said: "The little brother is a native of Hanjiang, Yangzhou. Wu Zexuan said: "I have heard for a long time that the scenery of the Central Plains is beautiful, the momentum is majestic, and there is the image of a dragon and a tiger leaping, so it is no wonder that the capital of the 22nd Dynasty is here." Today's arrival, sure enough, the name is not empty, not only the peaks and peaks, but also outstanding people, the people you see, and many talented people. ”
Zhuang Wuyang listened to his good conversation, and saw that the two strong men and the old man were courteous to him, and when he spoke, he stood with his hands down, not daring to slack off a little, he really didn't know what kind of person he was, so he said: "Since Brother Tai loves here, why not settle here." Wu Zexuan smiled and said: "Stealing half a day's leisure, a trip here, is already right and wrong, my generation of laypeople, such a blessing, how can you enjoy it often?" Brother Tai's bosom friend is insightful, he must be a master, how about playing a song? With that, he pushed the lyre in front of Zhuang Wuyang.
Zhuang Wuyang stretched out his fingers and plucked gently, the sound of the piano was clearer and more exquisite, when he looked at the piano, he saw that the piano head had gold wire wrapped around the two seal words of "Lai Feng", the wood spots were rotten and gorgeous, it seemed to be a thousand-year-old antiquity, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, thinking that this piano was a priceless treasure, this person did not know where to get it, and said: "Brother Tai Zhuyu is in front, and the younger brother is ugly." So the strings were pressed slightly, and they played sonorously, playing a song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese". Wu Zexuan listened intently.
At the end of the song, Wu Zexuan asked, "Has Brother Tai ever been to Saiwai?" Zhuang Wuyang said: "The younger brother just returned from Yongliang, I don't know how the brother Tai knew?" Wu Zexuan said: "Brother Taiqin rhyme is magnificent in the plains, the desert scenery, all in the strings, listening to the wonderful performance of the brother, it is really like reading Xin Jiaxuan's words 'drunk to pick up the lamp to see the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp, 800 miles under the command, fifty strings turn over the outside sound, the autumn soldiers on the battlefield." This song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", the younger brother has heard it more than ten times in his life, but he has never heard the sound of the piano like the elder brother, so the atmosphere is so myriad. Zhuang Wuyang saw that he was a bosom friend, and his heart was also very happy.
Wu Zexuan said again: "The junior brother still has something unclear about, and he wants to ask for advice." However, when I first met the model, I spoke shallow and deep, and I seemed to be presumptuous. Zhuang Wuyang said: "But it's okay to ask." Wu Zexuan said: "Listening to the sound of Jin Ge in the rhyme of my brother's qin, it seems that there are 100,000 armor soldiers hidden in his chest." But Brother Guan looks like a noble son, gentle and elegant, and is by no means a general in commanding the army. It's quite puzzling. Zhuang Wuyang said with a smile: "The younger brother is a scholar, and he has expanded the rivers and lakes." What Brother Tai said is embarrassing. ”
Wu Zexuan didn't seem to believe what Zhuang Wuyang said, and asked again: "Brother Tai must be born in a family, I don't know what official Ling Zun lives in now?" What is the fame of Brother Tai? Zhuang Wuyang said: "Xianyan has unfortunately passed away. The younger brother is mediocre, fame and fortune, and has nothing to do with me. Wu Zexuan said curiously: "Brother Ling's subordinates, great talent, is it because the study and politics have no eyes, so that the brother Tai Kechang failed?" Zhuang Wuyang said: "That's not it." Wu Zexuan said: "Li Taishou of Kaifeng Mansion here is my best friend." Brother Tai will move to see him tomorrow, or if he has an opportunity, it is not known. ”
Zhuang Wuyang said: "Brother Tai is kind, thank you very much." It's just that the younger brother has no intention of being an official. Wu Zexuan said: "Then Brother Tai will not be buried for life?" Zhuang Wuyang said: "Instead of crippling the people with the powerful ministers and the party, it is better to drag the tail in the mud." When Wu Zexuan heard this, he didn't feel that his face changed.
Seeing that his face was different, the two strong men in blue both stepped forward. Wu Zexuan paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Brother Tai is elegant, and his mind is beyond the reach of the laymen of my generation. ”
The two looked at each other, and they both felt that the other party was very peculiar, and they must have an extraordinary background. Wu Zexuan said: "Brother Tai came to the Central Plains from Yongliang, and he must have seen and heard a lot on the way. Zhuang Wuyang said: "Shenzhou is thousands of miles, the mountains and rivers are victorious, and they are dizzying." It's just that it coincided with the flood of the Yellow River, and the mourning was everywhere, and the younger brother had no intention of enjoying the scenery. Wu Zexuan said: "I heard that the victims robbed the military rations of the Southern Expedition army in Lanfeng, can you hear about it on the way to Taiwan?" Zhuang Wuyang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Why is this person so well-informed?" We rushed to Kaifeng after robbing the grain, and galloped day and night, without any delay on the way, why did he know first? At that moment, his face did not change color, and he said: "There is a thing, the victims have no food and clothing, and they have no mercy for the parents of the people, and they are desperate to take risks in order to survive, which is also understandable." ”
