Chapter 873: Beggar
Cheng Xian Ling retreated, he guessed that the murderer must be among the guests, which had to be carefully interrogated. But the first thing I did was to immediately write a prayer post, and then go out in a sedan chair myself.
It turned out that he recognized Xu Hao who was watching, when the Golden Palace was facing the saint, Xu Hao was standing beside the emperor, and his identity was not even comparable to the princes and ministers on both sides.
At this moment, in order to relieve the mood of the two daughters, Xu Hao deliberately took them to the mountain to relax despite the opposition of the boatman.
The local Shimen County is not Shimen, which belongs to Changde, Hunan, the gateway to the northwest of Hunan Province, with Hunan and Chu culture and excellent scenic spots, as well as Shimen tea.
This Shimen is just a very ordinary small county town, probably to the later generations even the name is gone, but it also adheres to the unique Zhong Lingyuxiu in the south of the Yangtze River, it is the season of high autumn air, ascending to the roof, the extreme eye Chu Tianshu, the lakes and rivers into a piece, the Yangtze River into a line, the winding mountains, the rushing river, the beautiful fields, the bustling towns, the quiet farmhouses, at a glance, all in sight.
Along the way, it was refreshing, which made the second daughter feel better and forget about last night's murder for the time being.
On the top of the mountain, a group of scholars are drinking and writing poems. The owner is a middle-aged Confucian who has just returned from playing Ryukyu, and he drinks the wine given to him by the king of Ryukyu, and he is very content.
Seeing Xu Hao and the three of them slowly ascending the mountain, Confucius showed an unhappy look, but this is a public place, and it is impossible to monopolize the top of the mountain.
Xu Hao felt as if he had been an uninvited guest, so he walked to the other side and looked at the scenery by the railing, Lin Daojing took a big breath of fresh air, looking happy.
Ye Qin said: "I hope this journey will be safe and smooth, and no one will die unexpectedly." ”
Xu Hao wanted to say that it was a vendetta for a reason, but it would be disappointing to say it, "It's a pity that I didn't bring wine and food." Otherwise, it's better to sit on the floor for a while. ”
Suddenly, a scholar said: "It's really annoying, can't you go down the mountain with fun?" Shilin gathering, how can you allow idle people to disturb you? ”
"There are a lot of people who are not interested, come. Let's drink this cup together. Confucius said loudly.
Xu Hao frowned, but he didn't hear it, Xiao Yezi and Lin Daojing were both cold and gentle, and they also turned a blind eye to it.
At this time, Cheng Xianling chased after him out of breath, because he changed into an ordinary civilian clothes, no one recognized him, and he stepped forward a few steps forward and reached out to hold Xu Hao's hand. said: "Mr. Xu, please forgive me for being a step late, it was inconvenient to recognize each other rashly before, and I hope to bear with me." ”
Xu Hao replied: "Don't dare! The fact that the adults were able to make a special trip made me deeply frightened. ”
"It should be, it should be." Cheng Xianling was not a rigid person, and asked bluntly: "Why is Mr. Xu on that ship?" ”
"I had nothing to do and took my juniors to Hangzhou Jiashan for a walk, so I picked a boat at random, and I didn't know that something happened." Xu Hao explained.
Without waiting for Cheng County's order to continue the detailed discussion, the Confucian scholars over there suddenly burst into laughter. He also frowned and looked over, just when he heard a voice, "Two men are climbing the mountain with two plays, it seems that they plan to communicate on the top of the mountain." It's that we've delayed other people's wild fun, haha! ”
Cheng Xianling's face sank suddenly, and he was just about to reprimand these disrespectful scholars when he saw a beggar with a black face coming up. I didn't notice that Xu Hao showed a hint of surprise, and then smiled bitterly.
Xiao Yezi's eyes widened in confusion, and he said to Lin Daojing, "Oops." Take a look. ”
The beggar didn't even look at Xu Hao, but walked up to the scholars pitifully and said, "Ask the old man to enjoy a glass of wine to eat." ”
Lin Daojing looked over in confusion, Cheng Xianling turned to look at Xu Hao, who was smiling more and more bitterly, Xu Hao saw this and said, "Alas, I met Huang Rong of my family." ”
"Who is Huang Rong?" Cheng County Ling naturally didn't know that Xu Hao had talked about the legend of the Condor Heroes, and someone liked Huang Rong who deliberately dressed up as a little beggar.
The Confucian over there was furious and said, "Go away, you disturbed my poetry, it's hateful, drive him away." ”
The beggar said unhurriedly: "I said that the old man is doing something difficult here, but it is strange that people are disturbing, it turns out that he is composing poetry." What's so difficult about composing poetry, and you're afraid of being disturbed? I beg for my own food, you make your own poems, and the two do not disturb each other, what is there to be annoyed? ”
Confucius said angrily: "There is a person named Huazi standing in front of him, how can he make good poems?" Get out of here, the good and elegant places are all tainted by you who don't know the times. ”
A few servants came over, and the beggar sneered: "There is a person named Hanako standing in front of him, so he can't make good poems?" I heard that there was a Li Taibai in the Tang Dynasty, with the emperor sitting in front of him, and a noble concubine, who was still able to write like a god, and made three songs of 'Qingping Tune', which was the swan song of the ages. Could it be that from ancient times to the present, only Li Taibai can be called a talent? The old men and princesses seem to be scholars, but just because I came, I couldn't make poems? Ridiculous, ridiculous. ”
Being ridiculed by such sharp teeth, Confucianism was so angry that he was dumbfounded, he had to endure it and couldn't bear it, and it was not easy to have a seizure, and the others couldn't help but look at each other.
A scholar said: "He just listened to a few stories, and he dared to adjust his lips and tongue in front of us, and he knew what 'Qingping Tune' was?" Don't throw him away, let me teach him a lesson. ”
Turning his head, the scholar asked in a condescending tone: "Let me ask you, is 'Qingping Tune' an ancient style, a poem, or a quatrain?" Can you understand? ”
The beggar said: "The three words of Qingping tune are the meaning of the poem, why ask me." ”
Everyone immediately burst out laughing, and the scholar said proudly: "How? All of a sudden, the horse's feet were exposed. I tell you that these three poems were written for the purpose of singing peonies, and they are called Seven Words Absolute Name. I want you to be a stinky person who wants to eat, but I don't know the style of poetry, and I don't understand the meaning of the topic at all, so I dare to guess nonsense. The true horizontal is also a clear and flat tone, and the vertical is also a clear and flat tone, what is the clear and flat tone? Can you eat it? ”
Everyone laughed more and more, and Cheng Xianling said in displeasure: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, but as a scholar, he bullied a poor person, and this year's exam will give them a bad evaluation." ”
Xiao Yezi smiled and said, "My lord is angry, have you heard of Hongwen's talented girl?" ”
"Huh?" Cheng Xianling was confused, and saw Xu Hao showing a proud look, while Lin Daojing covered his mouth in surprise.
At this time, the beggar delicately put his hands behind his back and said coquettishly: "You are wrong. These three poems are not only quatrains, but also not poems. Because these three are poems. Those who can sing but not sing in all poems are called poems; Those who can sing and sing are called Yuefu. Therefore, if these three poems are poems, the original title should be the three words "Yong Peony", and it should not be called "Qingping Tune". The so-called tuner is the Yue tune, Shang tune, Dashi tune and the like in the lyrics and songs.
Xuanzong Tianzi gave this topic to Li Taibai, but he asked him to compose music for the palace people to practice, but he realized that the world was clear and the court was fine. The Son of Heaven sits in the deep palace, looks at famous flowers all day long, is pro-country, and feasts on Qingping, so it is called 'Qingping Tune'"
Xu Hao smiled and saw that the scholars were suddenly silent, and the beggar continued with great confidence: "The beauty of these three poems is that the writing is good, and the palace and business are coordinated, so they are happy to move Tianyan. He was blessed with many favors; If it is just a collection of literary works, it is just a few poems, why is it passed down through the ages and thought that it is a perfect tune? Now the rank is public. The style of the poem is not fully understood, and the meaning of the subject is not well understood. It can also be hidden. If he was born in the Tang Dynasty and should be made together with Li Taibai, he is afraid that the words will not be clear. Not only was the reward not in turn, but even the two dragon and phoenix lanterns were not worth mentioning, and they couldn't send Li Taibai back to the hospital. ”
After saying it in one breath, the beggar arched his hand, "The beggar is rude, he doesn't know the taboo, and he collided with all the ministers, don't blame it!" ”
Everyone was so angry that their faces were as white as dirt, and they couldn't wait to rush up, grab her hair and beat her severely.
Xu Hao let out a long laugh, walked over and hugged the beggar with a straight face, and said with a smile: "Well said, I'm not a scholar, I'm good at fist and foot kung fu, if you're not convinced, just come and compare with me, I'll beat you alone." ”
Xiao Yezi also ran over, holding the beggar's arm affectionately, her pretty face smiled, the beggar glared at her angrily, and Xiao Yezi twisted around uneasily.
Everyone was surprised to see Xu Hao's bearing, and the subordinates didn't dare to move, and they were used to only moving their mouths.
Confucian sneered: "I dare to love you are a group, okay, anyway, the person who came is a guest, I thought that his words were heard from elsewhere, there are many people in the world who talk about the past and the present, and their mouths are like a river, and even when they lift the pen, they can't write a word." Whoever tests him, if he can write poems and articles, and he is as quick as eloquence, we are willing to let you sit down and drink as you please. ”
"That's what you said!" Xu Hao said with a smile: "My beggar is not an ordinary person, you can test her at will." ”
"Who's your beggar?" The beggar glanced at her, but Xiao Yezi saw that she showed a hint of a smile, and then covered her mouth and smiled.
This smile attracted the attention of many people, and then I realized that it was a rare little beauty, where is the little princess? Looking at Lin Daojing, who is dressed in white and wins the snow, she is also a rare beauty.
Everyone finally came back to their senses, and they couldn't help but look at the beggar's face, although they deliberately touched it dirty, they couldn't hide the outline of their bright eyes and teeth, and rubbed their eyes carefully, vaguely it was a rare beauty.
Look at Xu Hao and Cheng Xianling again, Xu Hao is okay, he is nothing more than an outstanding temperament, but he is the man who is not good-looking. Hey, it's the county master? Hurriedly stood up.
Cheng Xianling waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be polite outside, I am also quite interested in this beggar brother." ”
Seeing this, the crowd had no choice but to retreat, some of them were stuttering, some were indifferent, and someone asked, "Do you know how to make poetry?" ”
The beggar said; "A music house like Li Taibai's naturally can't be done, if it is written regardless of the rhythm, it can barely be."
Confucian secretly said that he didn't know that he had offended the county order before, but now he took this opportunity to remedy some mistakes with his friends, and hurriedly said: "Then take a piece of poetry and a pair of pen and inkstone for her." ”
The beggar said: "Please order one question, limit it to one rhyme." ”
At this moment, the Confucian students no longer have the slightest arrogance, and they realize that the identity of the person who came may be far from being comparable to themselves, so they can walk with the county master, and they know that they are not ordinary people. (To be continued......)
