Chapter 107: A Dream for a Thousand Years, Seven Steps and Seven Poems
Between the staggered plans, Xia Hongsheng also felt a lot of emotion. I traveled to the Tang Dynasty in early spring, and now it has reached early autumn in a trance, and many things that happened during this period, looking back on it first, are like a dream, and it always inadvertently makes Xia Hongsheng feel unreal. I always feel that this is a dream, and when I suddenly open my eyes one day, I will find that I am still lying on the familiar single bed, and it is a familiar point in time, and I am about to pick up the textbook and stand on the familiar podium again. At this moment, looking at those people who were laughing and laughing to their heart's content, Xia Hongsheng suddenly felt that he was so far away from them, so far that it seemed that time and space were shrinking here, and the time of 1,388 years was gathered here.
"A dream for a thousand years, a phantom is born, since he is in this world, why should Xia Gongzi be entangled?" A voice suddenly came from behind him: "Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies, which butterfly is me, no matter the butterfly me, I am free and happy." ”
Xia Hongsheng looked back, but saw that it was Yuan Tiangang standing behind him, with a faint smile like a master in the world.
Xia Hongsheng was shocked in his heart, hearing this, history has passed on this person to be a god, did he really see something? After all, there is a legend of "if you are a woman, you should be the son of heaven", this Yuan Tiangang really has some skills, can he see my origin? As soon as he thought of this, Xia Hongsheng subconsciously distanced himself from Yuan Tiangang: "Oh, it's just a little distracted, thank you Yuan Daochang for explaining." ”
But seeing that Yuan Tiangang smiled, he said to Xia Hongsheng very respectfully: "Gongzi is a fellow Taoist, why do you need to see outside, Gongzi's cultivation is above me, if you can get some guidance from Gongzi, it will be a blessing for the poor Dao." ”
These words made Xia Hongsheng stunned for a moment, what kind of fellow believer? What cultivation is above him? I'm afraid this one is drunk, right? Saying something sounds inexplicable and mindless.
"Uh...... What does Daochang Yuan mean? Xia Hongsheng asked in surprise.
"Childe doesn't want to talk about it?" Yuan Tiangang showed a look that was really like this, smiled again, and said: "Also, it is the poor road that is abrupt, I don't know when the son will have time, the poor road should set up a green furnace in the Xuandu view and smoke it, and ask the son to appreciate his face." ”
Xia Hongsheng felt that this person was chattering more than that Li Chunfeng, could it be that the more god sticks he was, the more he was chattering? So he had no choice but to wave his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, if you have the leisure to visit the Taoist chief!" ”
"Jingshi, come and drink with me, what are you hiding there?!" Suddenly, a voice came from the side, and he saw a hand stretched out and grabbed him, and he dragged it over, Xia Hongsheng cast an apologetic look at Yuan Tiangang, and then left with that drag.
When he got to the front, Li Yexu let go of his hand, and Xia Hongsheng smiled and hugged his fist at Li Yexu: "Hey, thank you Brother Yexu for helping me get out, that Taoist priest is chattering, which is inexplicable." ”
"Hehe, for my brother, I can remind you, that Yuan Daochang is a god, His Majesty is also quite dependent on him, you don't want to offend him, you really don't want to pay attention to him, whether it is false and wronged, but you can't be offended." Li Yexu's drunkenness in front of Yuan Tiangang suddenly disappeared, he lowered his voice and squeezed his eyes at Xia Hongsheng and smiled, picked up the wine glass again, turned around and threw himself into the group of gentlemen again: "Come on!" Today is the joy of Jingshi's housewarming, and I will take turns to toast him! ”
Xia Hongsheng instantly wanted to turn around and run away, let one of you pour me a cup, it is better to go and talk to Yuan Tiangang there!
"Hey, hey, where to run!" The two thick arms suddenly crossed in front of Xia Hongsheng, and he saw Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang on one side, holding Xia Hongsheng and back.
Li Ke came up with a wine bottle: "Haha, today is Brother Xia's housewarming, where is the reason for the master's family to escape!" Come, drink this cup! ”
After a few faces, Xia Hongsheng didn't have time to say a word, and he had already eaten several glasses of wine, and Xia Hongsheng was a little blindsided when he ascended.
"Big brothers! Let the little brother slowly, slowly ......" Xia Hongsheng gasped and begged for mercy.
"Come less! We are dignified men, even if we drink to death, we can't surrender! Come on, drink! Cheng Chu silently relied on his tall and big man, took Xia Hongsheng over, picked up the wine glass and was about to pour it into Xia Hongsheng's mouth. Xia Hongsheng almost scolded with a mouthful of dirty words, okay, you are silent, wait for today, see how I clean you up!
"Ladies and gentlemen, Brother Xia really can't drink enough. However, Brother Xia is very talented, and the joy of today's housewarming, why not let Brother Xia write a poem to fill the wine debt? Li Chengqian raised a glass not far away and suggested to help Xia Hongsheng relieve the siege.
Hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Yexu next to him suddenly slapped his palm: "His Royal Highness the Prince's words are extreme!" Jingshi is brilliant, hurry up and recite a song! ”
Everyone began to applaud, clamoring for Xia Hongsheng to quickly recite a poem.
"Wait!" Li Ke shouted: "There is wine but no poetry, after all, it is not beautiful, there is poetry but no color, but there are also regrets." Why don't I wait for the lottery to come out and gamble? In my opinion, we are limited to one cup of tea, and within the time of one cup of tea, if Brother Xia makes a poem that satisfies us, then we will drink a cup of it. If Brother Xia can't make it in the time of a cup of tea, Brother Xia will drink a cup of it, what do you think? ”
"Good! This lottery head Lao Cheng gambled! Cheng Chumo took the lead in patting his chest and shouted loudly. And the crowd joined in.
Xia Hongsheng stared hatefully at the group of coaxing around him, a group of scum, a cup of tea, and he was still dizzy, so that the ghost could make a poem, and it was discussed for a while, and today he is going to get me drunk here! Xia Hongsheng sneered in his heart, what is the wrong question, it is not an ancient poem, it is really a road in heaven that you don't go, and there is no way to break into hell! If you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!
Xia Hongsheng immediately slapped the table: "Okay!" Wait for me! ”
After that, he took a step towards the group of gentlemen, and recited aloud: "Since you have a good wine, we will wish it to you, and listen to my toasting poem: If the sky does not love wine, the wine star is not in the sky." If the earth does not love wine, there shall be no fountain of wine on the earth. Heaven and earth love wine, and love wine is worthy of heaven. I have heard that it is more than a saint, and it is as virtuous as a sage. Since the sages have already drunk, why bother to ask the gods. Three cups lead to the avenue, and one bucket is natural. But if you have fun in wine, don't pass it on to the awake. Gentlemen, please drink! ”
The group of people on the opposite side were waiting to see the joke, but when they saw Xia Hongsheng coming with his mouth open, they were immediately surprised, and saw Xia Hongsheng take another step forward: "Why don't you drink it all, don't you think the little brother's poems are not enough?" Okay, then come again: a pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date. Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio. The moon does not drink, and the shadow disciples follow me. Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, and the joy must be spring. I sing and wander, and I dance in a mess. When they wake up, they mingle with each other, and when they get drunk, they disperse. Eternal knot ruthless travel, phase Miao Yunhan. Gentlemen, please drink! ”
Everyone's eyes widened, and in the blink of an eye, the two poems were completed, and both were wonderful, which surprised everyone.
But seeing Xia Hongsheng take another step forward and recite a poem again, everyone was already silent, so they saw Xia Hongsheng step by step and poem, and after six steps, he had already arrived in front of everyone.
Trouble! Then make trouble for me! These are dumbfounded, right? Hahahaha...... Xia Hongsheng was extremely happy in his heart, looking at the faces of the people on the opposite side who were like mourning and looking like ashes, he suddenly had a feeling of revenge, haha laughed, took a step forward again, his face was about to come to the face of Li Ke, who was the leader, and said loudly: "Today, the little brother moved out, and all the brothers came to support the little brother, and the little brother is grateful." Originally, the small house was despicable, because of the arrival of the kings and flourished, the younger brother built a burrow, and today he will give the brothers a song "Burrow Ming": the mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual. Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. There is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding. You can tune the piano and read the Golden Sutra. There is no silk and bamboo, and there is no case. Nanyang Zhuge Lu, West Shuzi Cloud Pavilion. Confucius: What's ugly? ”
As soon as he said that, the audience was in an uproar. Xia Hongsheng took seven steps and seven poems in the blink of an eye, and the first one was excellent, and the shocked crowd in the field stared at each other with big eyes and nothing to say.
After a long time, Li Ke suddenly laughed: "Convincing!" Convincing oral ear! Ke admits defeat, seven steps and seven poems, Brother Xia's literary style is the best in the world, he is willing to gamble and lose, one cup of a song, and seven cups of drink! ”
As soon as they heard Li Ke's words, all the gentlemen turned green, but they were willing to lose the gamble, and these gentlemen boasted of themselves as dignified men all day long, how could they play a trick here and lose face? So everyone had to stubbornly pick up the wine bottle, and after seven glasses in a row, these people only knew that they were staring at the wine bottle in a daze and smirking.
Looking at their smirks one by one, Xia Hongsheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, telling you to have bad intentions, and you don't want to be counterattacked by me!
A wine banquet lasted from noon until the sun was about to set, and all the gentlemen vomited and slept, Xia Hongsheng called the housekeeper and asked him to arrange a room for this kind of gentleman to stuff in.
Xia Hongsheng himself is not much better, although he doesn't drink as much as this group of gentlemen, but he can't drink enough, so the soles of his feet are floating at this time, and he walks swaying. Forced to the door to send away the guests who came to congratulate him, but fortunately, there were not many people except for the gang, and soon sent them away, Xia Hongsheng went back and fell asleep on the bed.
Xia Hongsheng didn't know that after he fell asleep, two figures quietly appeared in front of his bed, watched silently for a while, and then quietly left Xiafu together and went straight to Chang'an.
