"Uh..." Upon hearing Ding Hao's question, the famous man in Mainland China was at a loss for words. He really knew the Analects of Confucius by heart, but he had never done such boring things as counting how many people there were in it. Now Ding Hao asked
, do you want him to mutter something on the spot and make calculations with his fingers?
Although Magistrate Xu was annoyed with him for being arrogant and rude, he was the one he invited after all. He couldn't let him lose face in public, so he laughed, stood up and said, "Brother Renjia, this is your fault."
Well, today is the birthday of the old lady. We should make the old lady happy. You are full of beauty, why do you ask such boring questions to each other? Today, officials, gentry and celebrities are gathered together, and there are also experts and talents, such as
Fine wine, how about we make a drinking order to cheer up the fun? Come on, come on..."
As he spoke, Magistrate Xu stepped forward and pulled Lu Renjia over, and at the same time glanced at Ding Hao seemingly casually. Seeing Magistrate Xu's implicit warning, Ding Hao thought for a moment and felt that the complete stalemate was indeed a case of petty gain, so he endured his resentment and turned to Ding Hao.
Yuluo whispered: "Miss, please go back to your seat." Ding Yuluo glanced at him gratefully and walked back to his seat.
Ding Hao forced a smile to Mrs. Cheng again and said, "Old birthday boy, I'm being reckless. Please don't be angry with me."
Old Mrs. Cheng saw that he was choking that hateful-looking celebrity like a cockfighting cock, and she said cheerfully: "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I'm celebrating my birthday today, and it's hard for Brother Hao to come to visit me. I'm going to have a few more drinks in a while."
Wine is the best." He said, taking a red envelope from the plate and handing it to Ding Hao with a smile.
Ding Hao thanked him, accepted the red envelope and returned to his seat. Magistrate Xu saw that Lu Renjia was unhappy when he returned to his seat, and wanted to liven up the atmosphere, so he said: "Come on, come on, let's have a drink to cheer up."
Lu Renjia frowned and said: "No need, there are so many congratulators, if one person only thinks about one sentence, how much time will he get?"
Zhang Shengzhi, the general judge of Guangyuan on the side, smiled and said: "What's the harm? I'm a master of calligraphy and calligraphy, so I'll just be a helper. General Cheng, Mr. Xu, Mr. Lu, and several celebrities in calligraphy and calligraphy will each consider a sentence and respond to each other. How about it?"
"
When Cheng Shixiong heard about the nonsense, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Hey, Mr. Zhang is making fun of me. Old Cheng can read, but he can't read me. This kind of thing is really more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy. I can't
I can’t do it. It’s better for you scholars to recite poems and poems, and I’ll just listen to them.”
After hearing this, Magistrate Xu nodded and said: "In that case, let's take this seat. I am one, Brother Lu is one, and...Professor Jiang and Du Juren, let the four of us make a drinking order to make everyone laugh.
Bar."
He is a second-ranked Jinshi, the prefect of Guangyuan, and he is certainly knowledgeable. Lu Renjia is a famous scholar in the Central Plains. With his great reputation, it goes without saying that he is knowledgeable. Professor Jiang Yuejiang is a professor of government studies in Guangyuan. He is old and virtuous, and has now been
The imperial court promoted him to a doctor of Taixue, and he would soon take office. He was also a scholar. Only Du Zhiwen was a young scholar in his early thirties and was quite famous among the local scholars.
When Du Zhiwen saw him being mentioned, he was flattered and smiled: "Students are not qualified at all, so when the old man mentioned it, I had to be shy. I just don't know who will be the official?"
Professor Jiang twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Of course Mr. Lu will be the commander..."
Among these four people, Xu Fengqing is the prefect and Jiang Yue is the professor. Xu Fengqing is the oldest in terms of official position and Professor Jiang is the oldest in terms of age. But in terms of reputation, Lu Renjia is the biggest. Lu Renjia did his part and did not refuse. He said: "Well, I will have it if I am old.
You are arrogant. I am just asking this old man to serve as the commander. Please note that drinking orders are like military orders. Anyone who cannot answer them will be punished with three drinks of wine."
Everyone responded in succession, and Lu Renjia pondered: "What kind of drinking order should I have?"
After thinking about it, he suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "We already have this drinking order. Our drinking order only has three sentences. The first sentence should use the name of the lyrics in "The Book of Songs", and the second sentence should use the name of a song.
The last sentence must be concluded with an ancient poem, and there must be a flowery character in the poem. Are you clear?"
As soon as it was said that the drinking order was going to be given, the surroundings became quiet, so Ding Hao could hear it clearly while sitting there. Hearing that the drinking order was being made with great knowledge, he couldn't help but secretly screamed that he was lucky. Fortunately, since he came to this era, he didn't know how to do it at all.
I never thought of pretending to be a scholar, otherwise I would have been notorious and beaten by everyone.
Not to mention that he couldn't even recite a few of the most famous poems. Even if he could recite three hundred Tang poems and five hundred Song poems, he could memorize them all by heart. If he really made a name for himself, he would be exposed as soon as he interacted with literati.
This drinking order is a very common thing in the daily interactions of literati. However, a drinking order must have a word from the Book of Songs, a song title, and an ancient poem. This ancient poem must also have flower characters.
, wouldn’t it be possible for a Su Confucian who is not really profound in ancient poetry to do it?
Such scenes of testing true kung fu were common in the daily lives of ancient literati. A person who did not understand the most basic rules of poetry, could not understand the rules of poetry, and who had never read the Four Books and Five Classics, the Analects of Mencius, among the literati
In the eyes of a poet, he is basically an illiterate person. Can such a person, who has memorized a few ready-made pairs and poems, successfully impersonate an unparalleled talent and celebrity? Then he will never be able to show off his lies for more than twenty-four hours.
Lu Renjia was the commander, so he naturally chose the first song. He pondered for a moment and said: "I am drunk with flowers, and I am a flower-gazeer when I go out."
Someone nearby immediately cheered loudly. Magistrate Xu and Professor Jiang gave way for a moment, and then Magistrate Xu took the next sentence. He thought for a moment and said: "I have a guest, who is drunk and peaceful, and whose face is red with peach blossoms."
Professor Jiang had already thought of the answer while he was thinking, so he blurted out: "The Duke of Qiancheng, the victory order, drunkenly smells the flowers and sleeps to smell the orioles."
Du Juren thought for a long time, blushed and was about to raise a glass to punish himself. Suddenly he remembered a sentence and said hurriedly: "Three and five are in the east, a little red, the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze."
After hearing this, Lu Renjia said cheerfully: "Du Juren's suggestion is a good one, but it's a pity that 'Peach Blossoms Still Smiling in the Spring Breeze' and Professor Jiang's 'Peach Blossoms on People's Faces Reflect the Redness' come from the same poem, so it seems a bit of a contrivance."
Du Juren's face turned red and he mocked himself: "Yes, yes, compared to the three great talents, Du feels inferior, so I will drink three glasses of wine as a penalty." He then poured himself three glasses and drank them all, which was a huge amount.
This round of exchanges went round and round again. Cheng Shixiong sat next to him and stared blankly, completely confused. Old Mrs. Cheng was also at the table. She was drowsy and yawning. Xu
The prefect's drinking order was originally to ease the mood, but now that the atmosphere was harmonious again, seeing General Cheng and his son showing impatient expressions, they smiled and said: "Hahaha, I'm feeling drunk, this drinking order is no longer possible. Ren."
Brother Jia, your piano music is like the sound of fairy music, which is unique in the world, why don't you play it in public and let me enjoy it."
He knew that his old friend liked to show off his abilities, but although he was a arrogant person, he did have some real abilities. Letting him play a piece in front of the public not only satisfied his desire for expression, but also indirectly paid tribute to Mrs. Cheng.
If you apologize, won't you kill two birds with one stone?
Magistrate Xu worked so hard, how could Lu Renjia understand that he was praised by Professor Jiang, Du Juren and other scholars amidst the applause of everyone, and then he smiled proudly and said: "Well, it's just General Cheng.
He is a military commander, so his palace must be full of swords, guns and sticks. Do you also have this elegant instrument?"
It was not inappropriate if he did not mention the word "elegant" in his words, but when he said it like this, it seemed that the house was full of vulgar things. Mrs. Cheng and General Cheng could not hear it. Mrs. Cheng and Tang Yanyan, the aunt and nephew,
But they all frowned in unison, and when they looked at Lu Renjia, his eyes were really full of hatred, and he didn't even realize it, he was so proud of himself.
Mrs. Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Come here, go get my piano."
A maid hurried to the inner house. After a while, she brought a piano, and a young boy carried a bookcase and put the brocade pier in place. Lu Renjia seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment when he was questioned by Ding Hao just now, and was happy.
After drinking another glass of wine, he walked over and sat down, gently stroked the strings, and said in surprise: "Good piano, good piano, but it's a pity... it's a pity..."
Seeing the sigh on his face, it seemed that it was a pity that such a good piano ended up in the home of an illiterate warrior like Cheng Shixiong. Mrs. Cheng's aunt and nephew were even more angry after hearing this. Although General Cheng and his son were illiterate, they were worldly.
But I have more experience than many people, and when I taste the taste, I feel a little uncomfortable.
Lu Renjia acted as if there was no one around. He slightly adjusted the strings and wiped the strings. He stretched out his sleeves, closed his eyes slightly, and caressed the piano with his ten fingers leisurely. For a while, the sound of the piano rose leisurely, like a moving cloud, and the sound quality was clear and bright, very clear.
It sounds so good that while others are not drunk, the celebrities in mainland China are already intoxicated themselves and cannot extricate themselves.
Ding Hao looked on amusedly: "This guy is very narcissistic."
After Lu Renjia played a eloquent piece, the lingering sound lingered endlessly. Professor Jiang, Du Juren and others expressed sympathy and cheered in unison. Magistrate Xu also showed a smile on his face: No matter what, his classmate still has real talent and learning, although
His words were arrogant and annoying, but this time he finally gained face.
Just when he felt a little lucky, Lu Renjia's annoying big mouth started to cause trouble again. It turned out that he was playing the piano as if in a fuzzy state. When the music of the piano faded away, he opened his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he saw Cheng Shixiong.
His expression was calm, but his arrogant temper came back again.
He is a proud man who relies on his talent. Once he encounters an ignorant boss, it is the most unbearable thing for him. He suppressed his displeasure and said with a smile: "Hahaha, you are so clever and easy to laugh at. General Cheng is
The generals of the imperial court who are guarding one side will not take such a small skill seriously. How about asking General Cheng to perform a sword dance in front of everyone? You and I are civilized and martial, and we play the piano and the sword. It can also be regarded as a good story in Guangyuan.
Already."
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she felt a little unhappy. The old lady of the village had many taboos. She was celebrating her birthday here, and she let her son play around with a bright sword? What does it look like! This bearded man named Lu
You are so old. Could it be that you have grown up in a dog's body? Why do you do such disgusting things?
Cheng Shixiong frowned and thought to himself: "This old guy really has no eyesight, and so does Magistrate Xu. If you ask a famous person to come and make a grand spectacle for me, isn't this going to make my mother feel troubled? That's all, that's all. Dance with the sword and deal with him quickly. This man has a bad mouth, so he won't cause trouble again and cause trouble."
Thinking of this, Cheng Shixiong stood up and said: "Okay, Mr. Lu will play the piano, and then I... will do a sword dance. Come on, get my matching sword!"
