Chapter 187: Painting a fan to shed tears
The painting fan was merged into a pot wide, and the tears and blood stained the red azalea. Hou Fangyu was in prison, and Li Xiangjun heard the news and went to the county government to beat the drum and voice his grievances, but he didn't want the county to make it difficult for Huang Yaowu in every possible way, and expelled Li Xiangjun from the court. The hard-working mandarin ducks have no fate, Li Xiangjun can't see Hou Lang's face, and he is sad and full of tears. There is a saying: "It is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage." "The person who did this despicable act was none other than Ruan Dacheng, who was born of love and jealousy.
Ruan Dacheng is a literati, but he has no backbone, and he was not reused when he first joined the Donglin Society, and he felt resentment over time. He borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and often sighed in his mouth: "Liangji Si Bole, virtuous and talented Zhao Wang." Ruan Dacheng was demoralized, embarrassed and useful in the eyes of Donglin students, and he used the clerk department to fill the vacancy in the matter, which originally belonged to him, but in the end it fell on Wei Dazhong's head.
Ruan Dacheng has been unknown for ten years, and he finally entered the official career, which is a great opportunity to display his talents, but he doesn't want Zuo Guangdou and others to intervene sideways, making his brilliant future gloomy. Chasing fame and fortune, intoxicated with fame, few people in the world can achieve Tao Yuanming's hidden true temperament under the east fence of Ju.
Ruan Dacheng was angry, tore his face with the Donglin Society, parted ways, and went to seek refuge in the powerful minister Wei Zhongxian in a fit of anger.
Ruan Dacheng was flattering and sycophant, and after being subsumed under Wei Zhongxian, he specialized in making crispy sycophancy articles and touting the eunuchs. Wei Zhongxian saw that his rhetoric was gorgeous and his writing was smooth, and he promoted Ruan Dacheng to the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Ruan Dacheng relied on his power, holding Wei Zhongxian's thick-legged fox and fake tiger might, and the old thief and Donglin Society fought openly and secretly, Ruan Dacheng contributed a lot, among which the communiqué personal vendetta is self-evident.
Dancing and writing to make ink and affection for the landscape, although Ruan Dacheng's character is flawed, he does not hide his elegance. Before he entered the office, Ruan Dacheng traveled south and north and made friends, and Hou Fangyu, a talented man from the German Mansion, was one of them. The two of them chanted poems and drank wine to the moon, showing their talents.
One day, the two of them drank each other in the garden, and when the wine had passed three rounds and Yixing was in the mountains, Ruan Dacheng patted Hou Fangyu's shoulder and said to him: "Brother Hou is better than Pan An, he is better than Zijian, I don't know if he has an intention?"
After saying a word, Hou Fangyu's face was embarrassed, and he sighed and said: "My family is in the middle of the road, and I am in a difficult situation, and I still can't eat, where do I dare to think about it." ”
When Ruan Dacheng heard this, he grinned with a toad mouth, and said with a mouth full of spittle: "Brother Hou's words are wrong, the male should get married, and the female should get married." My brother is wandering all over the world, with no food and clothing, and there should be someone around him who is shushing and asking for warmth. ”
Hou Fangyu got up and clasped his fists to salute, Ruan Dacheng pulled his sleeve and said to him: "Life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon." Let's go, I'll take you to enjoy the wind and snow. ”
The two of them stepped down to give birth to flowers, and unconsciously came to a high pavilion with Biwa Zhuyong, only to listen to the sound of sheng songs and drums in it. Ruan Dacheng smiled, then knocked on the door knocker, and the door opened in a short time. A woman with picturesque eyebrows and a graceful posture said to Ruan Dacheng in a voice like a silver bell: "Childe, you are here." ”
Hou Fangyu saw that this woman had beautiful eyes and a charming face, and he said to Ruan Dacheng tremblingly: "This ...... This is the Qinglou, I won't go. "With that, turn around and leave.
Ruan Dacheng made a move like lightning, grabbed Hou Fangyu's shirt, and lifted him back like a chicken. He grinned and said, "Brother Hou, an elegant person, why did he say such vulgar words, this is a teaching workshop, where is the Qinglou?"
Hou Fangyu begged Ruan Dacheng to let him go. Seeing that Hou Fangyu insisted on leaving, Ruan Dacheng had an idea and said to Hou Fangyu: "Brother Hou, can you be known for the high mountains and flowing water?"
Hou Fangyu was inexplicable when he heard it, and he said to Ruan Dacheng: "This song was composed by Yu Boya, a doctor in the Jin Kingdom, during the Spring and Autumn Period. ”
Ruan Dacheng nodded, and continued: "Yu Boya and Zhong Ziqi became bosom friends, and after the death of the later period, Yu Boya broke the piano and stopped playing. ”
Hou Fangyu was full of emotion in his heart, and said to Ruan Dacheng: "It's easy to get a daughter, but it's hard to find a soulmate." ”
Ruan Dacheng laughed and said: "Bosom friends are indeed hard to find, Brother Hou's poetry, literature and music are all excellent,
There is a talented girl here who knows a lot about music, why don't you have a discussion with Brother Hou, so that I can enjoy the Yayin Immortal Opera?"
Hearing Ruan Dacheng's words, Hou Fangyu's heart was itching, the woman who could get Ruan Dacheng's praise must be outstanding, and he was eager to see this woman's beauty. After the woman in Tsing Yi led the two upstairs, she made a pot of Longjing before the rain, and then told the two in a clear and tactful voice, wait a while,
Miss Li dressed up and came to meet the guests. With that, he drifted away.
Not long after, ten fairy beauties walked in with a woman in red in a frightening dance. She has a peach bun on her head, her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are soft with jade dew, and her lips are beautiful. She bowed lightly to the two of them, and her ten fingers were slender and plucked as she held the pipa and half-covered her face. The sound of the pipa is sometimes high-pitched like a waterfall flowing spring, sometimes soft like a stream and bay stream, and the sound of nature is refreshing.
After singing the song, Ruan Dacheng danced with his hands and praised it. He looked at the pianist, clapped his hands salivatingly, and said: "Wonderful, Miss Li is both beautiful and artistic, no wonder it attracts all the talented people to bend their waists for you." ”
Miss Li bowed again, hugged the pipa and wanted to go downstairs, Ruan Dacheng came to Miss Li's side with a hippie smile and twisted candy, which frightened the girl's face. At this time, Hou Fangyu came out to relieve the siege, pulled Ruan Dacheng, and repeatedly apologized to Miss Li.
Miss Li glanced at Hou Fangyu with beautiful eyes, and saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his lips were like a little fat, he was talking about Swen, and he was full of witty words, and she couldn't help but feel good. Ruan Dacheng snorted wine, and said to Miss Li with his eyebrows fluttering: "Miss Xiangjun, do you know who this son standing next to me is?"
Li Xiangjun shook her head, and Ruan Dacheng told her that this was Hou Fangyu, a great talent in the world. Hearing this, Li Xiangjun's beautiful face showed a hint of joy. She thought secretly in her heart: "I have heard the name of Hou Fangyu for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it here today, it is really vertical and horizontal, and it is suave." Looking back and smiling, planting the flower of the world, Li Xiangjun secretly promised it from then on, but Hou Fangyu didn't know.
Later, Ruan Dacheng sometimes asked Hou Fangyu for advice on poetry, literature and music, and Hou Fangyu taught him and carefully solved his doubts, and he was happy for Ruan Dacheng's diligence and inquiry. In fact, how did he know that Ruan Dacheng's drunkard did not mean to drink, he learned poetry and songs, and ran to Li Xiangjun to show off. Li Xiangjun took the poem and said coldly: "Gongzi's poems are mediocre, but this poem is tactful and beautiful, presumably from Hou Gongzi's hand." ”
Instead of writing poems to please Fang, he lifted a stone to shoot himself in the foot, Ruan Dacheng was embarrassed and annoyed, puffed out his cheeks, and kept swallowing saliva. He squeezed his eyebrows and told Li Xiangjun that the girl Bingxue was smart and wise, and she knew the owner of the poem at a glance. Li Xiangjun hated Ruan Dacheng's flattering face, and the more she looked at it, the more hateful she felt, she pushed Ruan Dacheng away, and then closed the door.
Ruan Dacheng gritted his teeth, the green tendons on his neck were violent, and he secretly swore that he must give Li Xiangjun some color to see. Hou Fangyu, who is stinky and sour, can actually get Li Xiangjun's affection, Ruan Dacheng is a rat falling into the ash heap - holding his breath with a nest, he gave himself a slap in the face, and secretly scolded himself for luring the wolf into the room.
After returning to the mansion, the housekeeper Gou Si saw Ruan Dacheng's cold expression and depressed heart, and after opening the house, he personally served a bowl of tea and handed it to Ruan Dacheng. He sneered a few times, and said to Ruan Dacheng: "The old man is the Shaoqing of the Five Temples, in charge of the prison, and with Wei Qiansui behind his back, what are the troubles that can't be solved, and the worries that can't be shaken?"
Ruan Dacheng took a sip of tea, and then smashed the tea bowl into a mess. He told Gou Si the ins and outs of the matter. Gou Si said to Ruan Dacheng: "Master, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear,
In the eyes of Xiao, this matter is simply as easy as a finger. ”
After listening to Gou Si's words, Ruan Dacheng's heart lit up, and he hurriedly asked Gou Si for advice. Gou Si was surging and whispered in Ruan Dacheng's ear, Ruan Dacheng showed a mouthful of uneven teeth, and the black fish couldn't close his big mouth with a smile.
"My Fair Lady, I covet it. Hou Fangyu saw Li Xiangjun and was overwhelmed by his talent.
However, he is coarse and shabby, and Mei Xianglou is such a romantic and gentle township, how can he get involved. Just when he was in a trance and was in a trance, Yang Longyou came to his grass hut.
He pointed to Hou Fangyu's forehead and said, "I see that Brother Hou's Yin Hall is black, I'm afraid that I will get into trouble with the peach blossom robbery, hehehe." ”
One sentence was humanitarian, and Hou Fangyu asked Yang Longyou to talk on the couch. Then he confided in his old friend to relieve the blockage in his heart. Yang Longyou stroked his long beard and smiled at Hou Fangyu. He told Hou Fangyu that Miss Li Qin Huai Bayan, both color and art, how many princes and nobles, talented people and gentlemen, all admired and fell in love with her, you are a poor talent with four walls, you can actually make her blue-eyed, it is really incredible. This is really the eternal story of Zhuo Wenjun eloping with Sima Xiangru, and it is going to be staged on you.
Hou Fangyu saw Yang Longyou joking, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet. Yang Longyou smiled, took out a delicate ivory folding fan, and handed it to Hou Fangyu. Hou Fangyu took the folding fan, and when he saw that the fan surface was like fat and jade, crystal pure white, he couldn't help but be shocked. said to Yang Longyou: "This fan is extremely precious, even if it is in the mansion of the prince and the rich, I am afraid it is also rare." ”
Yang Longyou nodded and told Hou Fangyu that this fan was a thing in the palace. Hou Fangyu's face changed drastically, and he returned the fan to Yang Longyou. Yang Longyou looked up and laughed: "Brother Hou, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other. I am good at Danqing ink, and I have a deep friendship with all the princes, you don't have to ask where this fan came from, anyway, one is not a thief, and the other is not a robbery. Upright. ”
Hou Fangyu gave gifts again and again, thanking Yang Longyou for the grace of the fan. Yang Longyou grinned and said: "A talented and beautiful woman, he has become a love story, he is just an adult beauty." ”
With the support of a friend, Hou Fangyu came to Meixianglou with his feet and handed over the ivory folding fan and the ancestral amber fan pendant to Li Xiangjun with his own hands. The two set a hundred years of goodness, Lang is affectionate, the concubine is intentional, the west window candle is cut together, and the tenderness is like water.
Where did Hou Fangyu know that there was blood and tears hidden in the fan, and the mandarin duck was divided into two points. Ruan Dacheng's plan was successful,
Immediately went to the county office to report the case, and his house was stolen. A dark wave is surging.
