Chapter 560 Really a good teacher and a good friend!
Years ago, there was a lot of commotion in the court and saliva flying everywhere. However, in the Li family, the expected quiet, leisurely and happy life did not come as expected by the wives and concubines.
Being an official was busy, and he was even busier after resigning. These days, the Li family was full of people, with a constant stream of visitors. Li You sat in the hall all day long, constantly receiving guests, and was not free. When an official went to the Yamen, he could at least go on vacation, but he entertained guests at home.
Guests, how can you be neglectful?
During the short rest time, Li You couldn't help but laugh at himself, saying that he was simply busier than the most popular girl in the Jiaofang Department.
It was only today that he went out to buy coal, and the eldest princess Guide suddenly arrived and blocked the guests, so the Li family was quiet for half a day.
It was already afternoon when the eldest princess was sent away, and it was only an hour before dark. However, within this hour, there were still three groups of guests visiting, and Li You had to frequently interrupt his thoughts to meet the guests.
At night, the family gathered around the house to have dinner. Aunt Jin was very worried that her plan to take her daughter to the temple fair years ago would be ruined. She asked Li You: "The slave family is very strange. They all say that the world is in a hot and cold world, and people are cold and warm. Why did the master lose his official position, but people came to visit instead?"
More?"
Li You said quite proudly: "That's because, sir, I represent righteousness! What people want, I get a lot of help, and everyone respects me! My husband is such an upright man, and others naturally come here to admire him!"
Yes, he gained a big reputation, and others also wanted to gain a small reputation, so everyone cooperated with each other. He was a bit of a waiter and thought about Zhang Jian. The famous scholar Zhang Jian fled, and others dared to break up the family and be reconciled, and he could be famous.
He moved the world; he, Li You, offended the eunuch and was dismissed from office. Others came to visit him, and he could also gain some fame for himself.
The whole room was filled with adoring eyes. However, there was one discordant factor. Aunt Guan said with a smile: "My husband is used to fooling us women. The reason is not just that. When we go out to socialize, we will talk nonsense when we go home."
"
"Then what do you think is the reason?" Aunt Jin asked.
"My husband has earned this reputation. Although he seems to have lost his official position, he will have to recover sooner or later. I guess everyone can see it. So, who doesn't want to do this ready-made favor?" Guan Xiuxiu exposed her husband's lies in a few words.
.
Li You was very surprised and said with a smile: "Sister Xiu, can you also understand the affairs of the officialdom?"
"I am a dull creature and do not understand officialdom. But when I saw the eldest princess openly visiting me today and not caring about my husband's situation in her words, I knew that my husband would definitely make a comeback. What kind of person is she? Husband, it's not like you didn't tell us
As I said, you can see some clues from her attitude."
After dinner, someone unexpectedly came to visit. It was Mr. Zhu Fanghe, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette, and he had to meet him. Li You originally thought that Mr. Fanghe was here as a mediator, and he did a lot of this work.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Fanghe said nothing about the dispute in the temple. When they met, he asked: "Brother, you were a young man who succeeded in your ambition. Suddenly you were slandered, and now you are dismissed from office. Do you feel sad and angry? Do you feel sad? Do you feel miserable?"
Desolate? Sad or not? Sad or not? Depressed or not? Depressed or not? Trapped or not?"
Li You was confused. What did Mr. Fanghe ask? Why did he seem to be expecting others to have bad luck?
However, it seems that since he resigned from office, instead of feeling sad, angry, miserable, depressed, bored, and troubled, on the contrary, he is quite happy and happy... I don't know why Zhu Fanghe asked these questions, and he simply can't answer.
Seeing that Li You was at a loss for words, Zhu Bulang shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, good poetry has been produced by sorrow and anger. A famous poet is famous for his sorrow. You should feel sad now. Do you have any good works? I want to hear it tonight for our ears and eyes."
Li You continued to be speechless. After such a big event, he really forgot to write a poem to commemorate it. Thinking about it again, it really doesn't matter whether he writes poems or not. Now he doesn't need to write poems to help him become famous.
But seeing Zhu Bulang, a poetry fan, looking full of expectations, Li You had no choice but to ponder for a moment and write two poems, titled "Two Poems of Feelings of the Imperial Capital", expressing his sorrow and depression.
One: "Every year the flute is played in the north of Yancheng, and peach slices are floating in the west garden! The horses are really tired because they know the road, and the cicadas still make a sound when they swallow. The long shackle has been wandering around with people, and the tiger's breath in short clothes is hard to calm down! The drama is so pitiful.
A night of drinking and listening to music is definitely like love after middle age."
Second: "As if the years are like a flick of a finger, the official career is only wide when you feel drunk in the countryside. It is difficult to turn your heart into stone in three lives, and you will taste the courage to make pills in nine deaths. When you go out, you have no choice but to look directly, and when you climb high, you feel ashamed to watch↓ Shen doesn't need to be judged, in the dream
Hometown Fishing Rod.”
After Zhu Bulang read it carefully, he sighed and lamented for a long time. As expected, "Li You's works must be brilliant." The two improvised seven-rhyme poems were full of sorrow and anger, which made people's hearts agitated. After that, he silently wrote down the two poems and wrote them down.
Farewell.
When saying goodbye outside the door, Zhu Bulang suddenly said: "Do you know why I came to visit in the middle of the night? That's because your place is too busy during the day. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. The host is sitting in the hall happily. I don't know.
I thought I would like to congratulate my master on his promotion and fortune."
Li You didn't know why for a while. Mr. Fanghe's words tonight always seemed to make people confused. Then he heard Zhu Bulang sigh and said: "Poetry is the voice of the heart. Since you can write such a wonderful poem of worry and anger, then
Just do it. Dear brother, you should be more melancholy!"
After saying that, Zhu Bulang drifted away, but his words were very meaningful, and they could be said to wake up the dreamer!
Li Youfan suddenly realized, was he too complacent? It didn't look like he was forced to lose his official position after encountering slander.
Acting also needs to be more serious. The technique can be amateurish, but the attitude must be correct. It is obvious that my attitude is not correct now! If you treat the audience badly, the audience will treat you badly!
Besides, when others come to visit me, they will probably take advantage of my reputation as a eunuch. If this continues, they will become a group of civil servants to celebrate the festival.
The experience of the previous life shows that if something that is originally serious turns into an overly entertaining carnival, it will only end up becoming a clown in the eyes of others. As Princess Guide said when she visited yesterday, there must be a person who wears the crown of Dumen.
The appearance of hanging a crown on Dumen...
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhu Fanghe, who was bold and arrogant, could be so thoughtful. Li You couldn't help but sigh and was extremely moved. This was the legendary mentor and friend.
From the next day, Li You announced his illness to the outside world, thanked guests behind closed doors, and generally did not see anyone else. As Mr. Zhu Fanghe said, it was better to look depressed and injured. Otherwise, he was still beaming after being dismissed, which would spread to the ears of the emperor.
, how to calm down the emperor?
But the statement was like this, and it only expressed the attitude of not being at home to see guests. Li You had to go out. He wanted to go in person to condolences Ambassador Lu Yuanguang who had been punished by the royal stick. It is not easy for a young brother who is savvy and easy to control.
It chilled people's hearts.
The imperial cane that Lu Yuanguang received this time was not like Li You's taste of two sticks last time. It was dozens of real blows. The injury was serious and he fainted at the time. It is said that it was Lu Ge who used his own rituals.
Sent the unconscious Ambassador Lu home.
The Lu Mansion is located in Nancheng outside Chongwen Gate, not far from the Propaganda Branch. Lu Yuanguang is not short of money. Compared to the inner city, Nancheng is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of land. Therefore, the Lu Mansion is larger than Li You's mansion.
Also be refined.
When they arrived at the Lu family's house, Li You was led into a hall in the inner courtyard, and then into his bedroom. He saw Lu Yuanguang lying on the heated kang, with a book open on the head of the kang.
Li You took a look. Although Lu Yuanguang was seriously injured, his face showed a bit of excitement. His face was red and full of energy, and his voice was loud and clear.
Li You knew this very well, and was probably stimulated by the honor of "the first imperial staff of Emperor Jinghe". Although this person was only the lowest miscellaneous official, he still had a lingering popularity as a scholar.
His honor is enough to compete with Mr. Li's somewhat tricky "Jinghe Dynasty's No. 1 Imperial Staff" achievement. He has done this. In the future, no one will treat him as an ordinary ninth-grade miscellaneous official.
Li You sat on the chair under the kang, exchanged a few words with Lu Yuanguang, and was about to have a deep conversation. However, a woman in a red coat rushed into the room with small steps, interrupting the conversation between the two.
The woman looked at Li You with a bad expression and asked, "Is it Mr. Li who is in front of you?"
Li You nodded, and the woman in the red coat knelt on the ground with a thud. Wiping her tears, she shouted: "My husband used to be an official in a safe and sound manner. I have recognized you, Mr. Li, as if I have been possessed by an evil spirit. I will suffer unbearably."
He said, "I was beaten to such a state two days ago, it's frightening! Now I can't even hold an official position. I beg Mr. Li to be kind and stop harming my family!"
It turned out that this was Mrs. Lu. Li You coughed a few times, but before he could answer, Lu Yuanguang became furious. He stood up, looked at the woman and cursed: "Ignorant stupid woman! What do you know? Get out!"
After being scolded by her husband, Mrs. Lu covered her face and went out crying. Lu Yuanguang said to Li You again: "Master Li, don't listen to her nonsense. I have never been qualified to set foot in temple affairs before, and I dare not think about leaving a name in history. Today
This is the first time I can experience such a special experience in my humble body, and I will have no regrets in this life."
Recalling Mrs. Lu's words, "You can't even hold an official position now," Li You asked Ambassador Lu, "Is your official position gone?"
"I will also resign my post, my lord," Lu Yuanguang replied.
Li You was shocked, "You don't have to, why do you act so impulsively?"
"This is for self-protection." Lu Yuanguang explained: "I have offended the emperor and betrayed Eunuch Duan. There is no guarantee that I will not be relegated to the wilderness. To be honest, I have a family and I don't want to drag my family down and suffer, so I went ahead.
Resign. Since I am no longer an official, the imperial court cannot demote me. But at least I have the honor of being an official. When the limelight passes, I will ask Mr. Li to help me fill my official position."
Li You felt more and more that he had a keen eye for recognizing people. After thinking about it, he gave a poem to Lu Yuanguang, comparing plum blossoms to people~ He said: "I can endure the snow and frost in the world, and the flowers on their heads are fragrant first." The wind has its own fairy bones.
If you are cool and charming, you should go to Yutang."
Receiving a poem from a "poet" like Li You who was destined to be famous for generations to come, Lu Yuanguang was so excited that his whole body trembled. As a result, the wound burst out and he fainted again.
In Mrs. Lu's eyes, Li You left the Lu Mansion dejectedly. It was already afternoon when he returned home. Li You suddenly became free and found that he still couldn't sit still. After all, he had become accustomed to being busy all the time.
When I was in a daze in the study, I suddenly heard a report from the door: "Zhu Bulang is here to visit. I must see the master."
This made Li You extremely puzzled. Mr. Fanghe had just come to advise him last night, and he had followed his advice. Why did he come again today? But others can stay away, and Zhu Bulang can be included among his friends, so then
Can't see outside.
Zhu Fanghe was invited into the study and shouted to Li You: "Brother Xian! You should be more melancholy!"
Li You was inexplicably surprised. Did Mr. Fanghe suffer from amnesia? He said this sentence last night and said it again today. What is the meaning? He couldn't help but ask: "What do you mean by saying this repeatedly?"
Zhu Bulang shook his head and sighed: "Xiandi is obviously an extremely smart person and is recognized as having excellent understanding. How can he be so lackluster now? Is it because he is too obsessed with being an official and ends up being stupid? Just say you are like this
Can your performance after being dismissed from office be more decent? I said a few words to you last night, but looking at it today, it is still too disgraceful."
Li You was furious. It was enough to criticize him for being stupid, but this was the first time someone dared to criticize his unprofessional performance. This was intolerable! He couldn't help but asked: "Although I respect you as my brother, some
I can’t agree with what you said, my little brother Dumen thanked you, why did I behave so badly?"
Zhu Bulang refuted unceremoniously, "Do you really want me to clarify? It's too fake to pretend to be sick at home! It's not natural at all! Who doesn't know that you are tall and strong at a young age! Why do you do this when you have always been perfect?
You were sick when you were young! When others see it, you are just pretending! You can only pretend if you have resentment towards the emperor! This shows that you are resentful! You are not afraid of someone slandering you! What will the emperor think?"
This reasoning is too bizarre. How did he become a person with resentment? Li You was dumbfounded by this. This result is simply an injustice. There is absolutely no such thing as resentment! He accepted the result of dismissal from office very sincerely.
!
"This is wrong, that is wrong, what do you think I should do?" Li You said angrily.
Zhu Bulang hated the lesson that iron cannot become steel and said: "You have to be depressed! You are Li Tanhua! Now you are not an official! You are a romantic celebrity! You have to drink to drown your sorrows! You have to indulge in sex to relieve your worries.
!You have to play with flowers to make yourself happy! This is how you should be in the eyes of others! It’s very strange if you don’t do this! If you are weird, others will make random guesses! If you let others guess randomly, there will be trouble
What a good rumor!"
Li You was stunned and speechless. He quietly closed the door and kept to himself. How could he go wrong? Was this what Zhu Fanghe meant last night, instead of asking him to thank guests behind closed doors?
After finishing the training, Zhu Bulang sighed, his tone softened slightly, and he said seriously: "You really make me worry about you, brother. I wish I could give you some advice myself!"
Without waiting for Li You to ask, he added: "Jiaofangsi has opened a new Xiyuan Hutong in Xicheng. You can accompany me to visit and have a good time. With the sign of Li Tanhua, you can definitely spend no money, and all the prostitutes
The family will also present the best attitude and the best programs to us, it’s wonderful to think about it! You and I have nothing to do, so why not go now?”
Li You has already burst into tears in his heart, this is such a good teacher and helpful friend! (To be continued)
