In the third year of Zhenyuan, the sixteen-year-old Bai Juyi came to Chang'an, Kyoto, from the south of the Yangtze River, and took his poems to visit celebrities. Seeing the name of "Bai Juyi" on the manuscript of the poem, he joked: "Chang'an rice is expensive, and it is not easy to live!" ”

Considering the situation, the word Weng, the number Huayang Zhenyi. In his later years, he called himself a tragic man, a native of Haiyan (now in Haining, Zhejiang). Tang Dynasty poet, painter, connoisseur. The official position in his life was not high, he used to be a writer, and he offended the powerful because of his poetry and ridicule, and degraded the state secretary to join the army.

Now Bai Juyi's father Bai Jigeng is still studying at home, Tianbao was admitted to the Ming Department in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, and was awarded the post of lieutenant of Xiaoshan County, and Bai Juyi was born more than ten years later.

The reason why I suddenly thought that Chang'an was expensive and it was not easy to live in a big house, and I just wanted to rent a three-entry courtyard in Yangzhou City, and the tooth man would open his mouth to three times a month, which was naturally nothing to Zhen Qian, but if it was compared with the housing prices of later generations, it was almost the same as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and it was impossible to buy a small courtyard in Yangzhou City without a thousand yuan.

It's a pity that the price is expensive in Yangzhou City or can't find a suitable house, Yaren recommended a small courtyard on the side of the twenty-four bridge, the same is a three-entry courtyard, but the price is only four or five times the city, if the distance is farther away, the price is even more scary, in any era, the house price and the location echo each other.

After settling the four Japanese warriors, Zhen Qian came to the Dadu Governor's Mansion to meet Lu Qiao, but he didn't expect that Lu Qiao was not in the mansion, and it was Lu Qiao's staff who received him, which made Zhen Qian suddenly think of the story of Bai Juyi's great residence in the capital.

After hearing Zhen Qian's intentions, he led Zhen Qian to his office room, and let people serve tea and soup: "It's really unfortunate, Lu Changshi went to the canal to inspect, and it is estimated that he will come back tomorrow, if Zhen Lang has anything to say, you might as well tell me or leave a letter?" ”

Gu Gu didn't know about Zhen Qian's knighthood, but he knew that Zhen Qian was the owner behind the Drunken Immortal Building, and he also heard about "Ai Lian Said" and "Burrow Ming", and after learning that Zhen Qian came this time because of the return visit after Lu Qing of Fanyang Lu's family visited the sick, he told Zhen Qian that Lu Qing had left Yangzhou and went to Jinling, and as for visiting Lu Qiao, it would have to wait another day or two.

Zhen Qian really wanted to get up and say goodbye immediately, the authentic literati doctor had a lot of pressure on him, especially Zhen Qian, who liked to pull people to appreciate poetry and literature, and Zhen Qian, who was stumbling in classical Chinese, didn't want to show his feet in front of such a person.

As soon as Gu Qian talked about the lotus flowers in Yangzhou Dogwood Bay, Zhen Qian knew that Gu Qian was going to talk about "Ai Lian Said" with him, and immediately changed the topic and talked about the way of drinking tea and maintaining health.

"Zhen Lang, the taste of this tea soup is not as good as the clear tea and black tea in Zuixianlou, but Gu Mou has tasted the impermanence of life from the tea soup, and every bite has a different taste, just like Zhen Lang is in a humble room, and he can still have a breezy state of mind, yes or no?"

"When it comes to tasting Baiwei, Zhen has another experience", Zhen Qian pointed to his tongue and said: "I found that each part of the human tongue feels different about the taste, the tip of the tongue can taste sweetness, the middle of the tongue tastes salty, the root of the tongue is bitter, and both sides of the tongue are the most sensitive to sourness, so when people eat, the taste part on the tongue can feel different tastes, which has nothing to do with people's mentality?" ”

Considering the situation, he followed Zhen Qian's example, stretched out his tongue, placed the icing on the tip of his tongue, and found that it was as Zhen Qian said, and put the salt in the middle of the tongue, and found that each part of the tongue felt different about the taste, and laughed: "Zhen Lang is really a wonderful person!" ”

"Brother Gu is too modest, this is just a sideshow! It is not as good as the righteousness of Huanghuang, and the words of the sage are ......", what Zhen Qian wants is to take care of the situation into the gutter, so as not to talk about poetry and poetry with himself.

I talked with Gu Gu for more than half an hour, and I talked about the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River from the wind and snow in the north, from the Gobi in the Western Regions to the vastness of the sea, what big fish in the North Sea called Kun, and what Penglai Immortal Island in the East China Sea did not have immortal ......, and when Gu Gu asked Zhen Qian where he learned all this knowledge, it was already dark and he got up and said goodbye.

As soon as Zhen Qian left, the side door was pushed open with a "squeak", and a man wearing a green robe with a head on his head, a rhinoceros leather belt around his waist, and silver satin boots on his feet walked in from outside, and saw Gu Gu and said, "Are you leaving?" ”

Considering the situation, he got up and saluted: "Lu Changshi, why don't you see him?" ”

The person who came was Shi Luqiao, the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, walked to the place where Zhen Qian was sitting just now and sat down, beckoned Gu Qian to sit down as well, glanced at the tea soup that Zhen Qian had not drunk at all and said: "It's not appropriate to see him now, I heard the two of you talking just now, I couldn't help but stand outside for a while, as you said, Zhen Qian is really a wonderful person?" ”

Gu Gu re-gave Lu Qiao a bowl of tea and soup and said: "I don't know why, I always feel that he is avoiding something, and I don't know if my feelings are wrong, this person has a lot of miscellaneous skills, but he is not willing to talk to me about poetry and songs, originally I wanted him to appreciate Gu's paintings, but seeing that he was not interested in the slightest, he didn't speak!" ”

"That's true! I also found that he didn't seem to have the elegance of a literati, but had the shrewdness of a businessman, was it because of his family education? ”

"I heard that the Zhen family is a family heirloom with arithmetic and medical skills, and it is not easy to integrate arithmetic together, I heard a few of his poems, I thought that I would talk about the wind and snow with you today, but I never thought that you would talk about strange things, very strange? What do you think of Zhen Qian? ”

Gu Jing chuckled and said: "Lu Changshi probably already has the answer in his heart, since he asked me, even if he throws bricks and leads the jade!" Zhen Qian heard that Lu Changshi was not in the mansion, so he did not leave immediately, but chatted with one of my staff, and it was clever to talk about his heart, since he saw the tea soup, he actually talked about the tea ceremony with me, but did not drink a sip of this tea soup, which shows that this person is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, and his life's miscellaneous studies are eclectic, but he might as well make a deep friendship! ”

"Haha! Gu Lang has good eyesight, this person hasn't seen me, and he hasn't told you about his knighthood, it is rare to have such a city at a young age, and he is not impetuous, but I don't understand, obviously he can talk about Fengyue and poetry to win your favor with each other, but he has to talk about miscellaneous studies that you don't understand at all, aren't you surprised? ”

"When Lu Changshi said this, this Zhen Qian is really strange! Wouldn't we know if we would meet again when we had time? ”

Lu Qiaohe smiled, took a sip of the tea bowl, and continued: "When Zhen Qian comes to the door again in the future, I won't see him yet, it's not that I don't want to see him, but it's not ......time to see him yet."

Considering the situation, he pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm afraid Zhen Qian won't come to the door again, Lu Changshi might as well make a bet with me, bet on whether he will come to see you again?" ”

"Are you saying he knew I was in the house and didn't go out?" Lu Qiao suddenly realized, patted his forehead and smiled bitterly.
