Chapter 104 The name almost doesn’t live up to the reality
Zhao Liangli, a senior official, had met Li You several times and had some basic understanding of Li You. He knew that even though this guy was famous in the brothel, he was still not to the point where a famous prostitute would be willing to work as a slave for him. He must have used something.
Other methods. So he was not frightened like everyone around him. He only felt interesting when he saw it. He whispered in a low voice: "Mr. Xiao Li did a good show."
Li You replied very honestly: "It's not easy for a young man to become famous and rise to the top. Senior officials will bear with you."
Zhao Liangli chuckled, "With your talent, this is how it should be. You can talk about tolerance or not, and you can enjoy it tonight."
When Li You and Zhao Daguan were talking to each other, there was a muffled sound behind them, and they saw that the wine jar in Yao Xing'er's hand was broken to the ground, and the wine was spilled. "I'm extremely sorry, I didn't pay careful attention to this hemp rope. I don't know why."
It's broken." Yao Xing'er apologized.
Li You looked at the overflowing drinks and lamented: "It's a pity, it's a pity."
The scholar He Shenzhi came over and said: "Brother Zhao has prepared a lot of good wine tonight, which is enough to drink. Why should Mr. Li regret a few jars of wine?"
Li You said quietly: "I only drink the Nanxu Spring Wine brewed by the Wei family in this county for seven years, five months and three days, and it must be packed in a small black jar at midnight. I only brought these, but unexpectedly they were all destroyed."
.What a pain, what a pity.”
Not understanding Li You's exquisite taste and sentiment, He Shenzhi was confused, "Why is Mr. Li so paranoid and stingy today? Could it be that he is mentally ill?" Translated into a 21st century saying, it means you are sick, right? You
Are you okay?
This trick he learned didn't work. Li You was greeted miserably. There was a cultural difference. These days, the petty bourgeoisie are just scum in front of the ruling class.
Official Zhao suppressed a smile and said: "Take your seat, take your seat!" and asked Li You to sit next to him.
Li You was secretly surprised, Zhao Daguan was so enthusiastic. How could Li You, He De, occupy a position so close to his master? Then he thought again, Zhao Daguan seemed to have an informal nature, so he felt safe.
After thinking about it, Li You first sat down on the floor with his hands on the table, and then took the time to look around and counted twelve guests and guests. There were also six female concubines, including Yao Xing'er, sitting nearby, each looking beautiful and beautiful.
Colors, two or three of them seemed familiar.
He wondered in his heart that official Zhao would not be so stingy, so he only found so many wine drinkers. How could there be enough for the guests to share. But he soon understood that a few servants brought up big-bellied, wide-mouthed, thin-necked pitchers.
Place them at a distance. Zhao Daguan has made a rule: each person has ten arrows, and those who hit more pots will choose concubines to accompany them in order.
Li You discovered that it was impossible to stand out. Sure enough, a circle of people threw their shots, and he, who had never played pot before, made zero out of ten shots and rushed home.
The playboy Zhao Daguanren won the first place. He first chose a beauty to accompany him with wine, and then looked at the lonely Li Tanhua next to him and laughed proudly. There is indeed no all-rounder in the world. Then he announced the theme of the night, "Tonight will be...
Beauties are the main attraction, and all the plays at the moon-viewing banquet are based on the theme of capturing beauty."
Immediately, there was a game of passing flowers by beating drums, and the host also set the rules. The flowers were only passed among the six people who did not have women to drink with. Whoever caught the flowers would either be punished with five cups of wine, or he would have taken a fancy to a beauty and made things difficult for her companion.
The scope of the person's questions should not exceed the Four Books and Five Classics. If the opponent is troubled, he will win the beauty and return. If the opponent answers, he will be punished with ten cups of wine.
As soon as the rules are announced, there will be a burst of cheers, and it is always interesting to compete with each other. These people are all veterans of the flower bush, so naturally they are not afraid of the excitement.
But Li You was stunned when he heard the rules. The Four Books and Five Classics... His studies in his previous life were devoted to Ming and Qing literature and poetry, but he didn't know the meaning of the classics. Even if he occasionally dabbled in it, he was more than a little bit different from these ancient literati.
These people here are usually dissolute and romantic, and they don't care much about the meaning of the scriptures. They must be as skinny as a camel than a horse.
Li You couldn't help but feel a headache about this situation. On a moonlit night, in front of the beautiful scenery, instead of reciting poems and lyrics to enjoy flowers and pick up girls, at least a couplet, a couplet, a witty line, etc., what about the Four Books and Five Classics... and
It was completely different from what I imagined. It was not an occasion where I could pretend to be famous. If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have made any excuses.
At this time, I can only pray to God to stop the flower in my hand, so as not to make a fool of myself.
In addition, what worries Li You even more is that he took the lead at the beginning and pretended to be a success, attracting everyone's attention and turning himself into the center of attention. But after that, he had already thrown the pot into the street. If the next one continued to throw the pot into the street, wouldn't it be
Has it had the opposite effect? Don’t end up with a reputation that is so pretentious and superficial that it’s bright and shameless and shameless...
The more I think about it, the more I regret it. It would be better to keep a low profile from the beginning and quietly eat and drink among people than to be in such a difficult situation.
While I was thinking wildly, the drumming suddenly stopped. Mr. Li stared at his hands indifferently for a moment. What a bright flower, but it was in my hands. He silently picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine. He drank five glasses in a row. How could he rely on the Four Books?
According to the Five Classics, when you make things difficult for others, don't bring shame on yourself. Just be honest and drink wine as a punishment.
Continuing, after turning around a few times, I saw someone who had successfully won the beauty and returned home, that is He Shenzhi. When the drum sound stopped again, Mr. Li silently picked up the wine glass and poured himself another five glasses.
Inadvertently, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his neighbor, Mr. Zhao, smiling smugly at him. Suddenly, something Master Huang said flashed through his mind: "Brother Zhao Xian is a very talkative person with no temper, but he has a problem: he likes to tease people.
"Happy." I remembered what happened to Mr. Huang on the boat when he was young...
Li You suddenly realized that the truth was about to come out. This must be the trouble caused by Zhao Daguan! What about throwing pots, the Four Books and Five Classics, and not using poetry as topics? Zhao Daguan knew some details about him, so he was so targeted and enthusiastic.
I asked him to sit next to him so that he could watch the fun. Could it be that Zhao Liangli was embarrassed during the last drinking party?
In the blink of an eye, the drums stopped for the third time. Li You still poured himself five glasses of wine silently. This official Zhao had even ordered the drummers to play, specifically to make him embarrassed...
"Hold on!" Zhao Daguan stopped playing the drums out of conscience and turned his head to Li You and said: "Mr. Tanhua is known for being romantic, why don't you go and win the beauties tonight? Don't you think these beauties can't interest you? There are three of them.
It was you who gave me the poems, but I am thinking of you in my heart. Being so cold and heartless would make the beauty sad."
You asked knowingly... Li You had no expression on his face, still holding on to himself. At this time, another graceful beauty said coquettishly: "That night, Mr. Li gave me the title of the poem, and he disappeared after waking up. Just then
We meet tonight, but Mr. Li regards the slave family as a broom and ignores it, and is indifferent?"
During the banquet, everyone paid attention to Li You. They all felt that Li Tanhua was very unrealistic and dull tonight, and she didn't look like the rumored romantic and amorous flower among the flowers.
The woman who is speaking seems to be named Yu Linglong? What you said is so good! A turning point finally appeared. Li You suppressed his joy and replied slowly and calmly: "Why should we meet before? Why should we meet again if we meet again? Just because we have met before.
, I don’t want to see you again.”
He Shenzhi on the opposite side heard this and said curiously: "How can there be such a truth? Everyone in the world regards reunion as a blessing and talks about happy events, so it is called a happy reunion, and I have never heard of seeing a beautiful woman again as a hardship. Don't you see, there is still a Magpie Bridge on the Chinese Valentine's Day in the sky every year.
"
Li You nodded and said, "Then I will answer from the bottom of my heart with a poem."
"No poetry allowed!" Zhao Liangli couldn't help shouting.
The guests were all surprised. Why did the host lose his composure when he heard that Li You was going to recite poetry? Someone asked: "Why is Brother Zhao doing this? On such a moonlit night, reciting poetry is also an elegant thing. Why not?"
Official Zhao almost beat his chest. After being humiliated during the last drinking ceremony, he was determined to see Li You's embarrassment tonight. This was the greatest pleasure in his heart. So he made full use of his master's power and never mentioned the title of the poem during the show.
, did not give Li You a chance to develop his talents. Seeing that Li Tanhua was desperate, how could he finally turn to reciting poems? This was like letting the tiger return to the mountain. Based on the experience of Mr. Zhao Daguan, as long as Mr. Li is given a chance to export poems, cooperate with
Once the atmosphere is changed, there will be no room for reconciliation.
Faced with everyone's doubts about not knowing the truth, even the master Zhao Daguan could not find a reasonable excuse to stop Li Tanhua's mouth, and said with emotion: "For the sake of a mountain, nine people have failed."
Li You purposely curled his lips at Zhao Liangli, and Li You came out of the gate with a heart like a tiger, but his face became even more melancholy. He raised his head and drank a bottle of wine, using the drunkenness to attack the case and sang: "If you don't cherish your body in front of the bottle, your pretense of madness will inevitably become true. Zeng
Because I was drunk and whipped the famous horse, I was afraid that the love would be too much for the beauty. The bright moon is always full at this time, and the beauty will be new when it gets old. Don't be sad because we know each other. If we don't know each other, we don't miss each other."
Everyone listened attentively, and when they heard the sentence "I'm afraid of being tired of love", all of them were moved in unison, some were speechless, and some dropped their chopsticks and forgot to pick them up. These few sentences may be said to be sentimental, or they may be said to be complacent.
Completely dissolute and frivolous, proud and proud, drunk and dreaming of life and death.
Based on the experience of these people here having fun, they can deeply feel the sound of their passion and can't help but immerse themselves in it. The following few sentences are ordinary, showing a bit of loneliness. But in the end, it ends with "if you don't know each other, you don't miss lovesickness"
, some are meaningful.
Everyone thought in unison, is this Li Tanhua's reply to the beauty's resentment? It's not that I'm cold and heartless, it's because I'm afraid that love will burden the beauty. For you, if you don't know her, then you won't miss her, which is the best result.
That’s why Li Tanhua was very cold and careless tonight?
This reply was simply coquettish and arrogant to the extreme. Looking back on it, the rich and idle people all sighed, "I am afraid that love will be so tiring and beautiful, why didn't I write this sentence? I am afraid that I will never find such a coquettish and outstanding sentence again."
.Everything about beauties getting old, and how you can’t miss loves without knowing them were all left behind. I just chanted this sentence over and over in my heart, wishing that the person who was afraid of being tired of love would be me.
He Shenzhi threw away the beauty in his arms and jumped out, shouting: "Brother Li Xian! I am willing to pay a thousand gold for this poem, and give it to me as a title! I want to use that sentence as a seal for the rest of my life!"
Daughter of gold? Li You impulsively wanted to agree, but before he could say anything, He Shizi returned to his seat dejectedly and said, "I'm very rude. I shouldn't have offended my virtuous brother so much, and taught my virtuous brother to bring shame on him."
Official Zhao gradually calmed down, sat down with his hands on his back and sighed. In this world, Li Tanhua really couldn't open his mouth to write a poem, and he was asked to easily get back the situation. But, no matter what, no matter what.
