After Mr. Cangshan left in embarrassment with his disciples, the joy of a birthday banquet finally returned to the Yellow Crane Tower. (Temple)
The literati in Juzi drank and had fun, mingling with each other and getting drunk. The students took advantage of the wine, holding paintings in hand, standing in front of the table, swaying, and wrote down one gorgeous poem after another.
After Li Dehui called the singers to join in the fun, the poems recited by the students were of better quality. There were many excellent works among them.
Moreover, later on, even the Buddhist layman Songzhu couldn't help but feel itchy hands. After everyone called for it, he finally wrote a poem called: "The Immortal Fate of the Yellow Crane".
This old guy is not only good at pretending to be cute, he also has some ink. In this poem about the fairy tale of the Yellow River, the beautiful scenery of the Yellow Crane Tower is used to set off Miss Li's beautiful face and moonlight, which really complements each other.
After writing this poem, layman Songzhu blushed and bowed his hands in humility under the admiring gaze of a group of scholars.
His apprentices were also rising with the tide. For a time, they were all students who came to learn from each other.
Because today is Miss Li's birthday, most of the poems written by the students were personally written in the small notebook prepared by Miss Li.
Looking at the thick notebook, more and more good sentences appeared. Li Dehui smiled from ear to ear.
Among the guests present today, there are not only the two old men Shozhu, but also many well-known scholars.
I believe it won’t be long before there are so many poems written by students in their own hands. The paper in Luoyang is definitely expensive.
For example, the student who just came up, holding a wine cup, wearing a light blue gown, with an outstanding temperament, is Li Meng, the number one scholar selected by His Majesty in the palace examination this year. Because he will take office soon, so
, before taking office, he returned to his hometown to visit his parents.
Because Li Meng had received a lot of donations from Li Dehui over the years, out of gratitude, she accepted Li Dehui's invitation and came to the Yellow Crane Tower to celebrate Miss Li's birthday.
Because of the experience of being laughed at by those rich kids in his early years, Li Meng developed the habit of being alone and seemed a bit unsociable.
However, it was precisely because he was standing aside, admiring himself (in the church) with such a worldly temperament that he naturally attracted the attention of many thoughtful women in the room.
Miss Li is one of them.
Miss Li has been paying attention to Li Meng since he came up.
I had long heard my father say that Li Meng, a poor scholar, was by no means a creature of the pond.
Unexpectedly, after eighteen years of studying hard in the cold window, I would win three yuan in a row, win the first prize in the palace examination, and become famous all over the world.
On the day when the results were announced, Li Meng saw his name in the crowd, smiled slightly, and turned around to leave.
That day, after he returned to the inn, he used the last ten taels of silver he had on him to hire a gray-haired bad horse that looked like a donkey. He rode the horse and walked around the city of Tokyo.
In a tavern in the west of the city that I often went to, I wrote a song "After Enrollment" while drunk.
"In the past, there was nothing to praise for being sordid, but now there is no limit to the dissolute thoughts. The spring breeze is so proud that horses are hoofed, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
That day, Li Meng got drunk for the first time in eighteen years.
The next day, Li Meng rode on horseback and paraded through the streets under the escort of the imperial guard of honor. His name also resounded throughout Tokyo. And after his admission, his song also spread throughout the student circle.
People all remember this shy but outstanding student from a poor family.
At the same time, the ministers in the court also began to get close to the newly crowned scholar. Many of them introduced their daughters to him.
But Li Meng just smiled and politely declined the enthusiasm of the ministers with the sentence "parents' orders".
Because, in his heart, there is always a girl's appearance, which has never gone away.
Although……
That girl doesn't know that I love her!
Later, after entering the palace to meet the saint, the emperor appreciated his talent and gave him a bloody horse.
Early the next morning, Li Meng rode on horseback and headed towards his hometown of Wuchang with a simple luggage.
Back in Wuchang, Li Meng met his parents.
At this time, the news that Li Meng won the first prize had already been sent back to Wuchang.
Neighbors who usually looked at them coldly came to visit with enthusiasm. People who had not been in contact for several years also came to congratulate them with wine and meat.
For these people, Li Meng just greeted them with a smile, and then sent them off with a smile.
However, when Mr. Li Dehui's sedan chair stopped at his chaimen, Li Meng carefully arranged his appearance and went out to greet him.
Li Dehui entered the house and didn't care at all about Li Meng's thatched cottage with only four walls left. He sat down carelessly, picked up the porcelain bowl with a corner missing, poured a bowl of tea, clasped the string, and took out the invitation card from his arms.
"Boy Meng, tomorrow is my daughter Li Shuangshuang's birthday party, remember to go!" Li Dehui reached out and patted Li Meng on the shoulder, then left laughing.
Last night, Li Meng stayed up all night because of this invitation. Even now, his eyes are still red.
"Boy Meng, what are you doing standing there?" Li Dehui staggered over with a wine cup in hand, put his arm on Li Meng's shoulders, and said with a smile.
Li Meng came back to his senses and saluted Li Dehui respectfully: "Sir!"
Raise your head and look ahead.
Seeing Miss Li hurriedly looking away, she turned her head to admire the surging river water.
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, and then felt happy.
The eldest lady is actually looking at herself all the time.
Li Meng was so happy that he couldn't help but glow with joy.
He raised his head, bowed his hands to Li Dehui and said, "The student is thinking about giving the eldest lady a satisfactory birthday gift!"
The sound was not loud, but it was just enough for Miss Li not far away to hear.
After hearing this, Miss Li's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange look, her pretty face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head.
Li Dehui looked at this and that. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized.
Putting his hand on Li Meng's shoulder, he laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, it's hard for you to have such a heart!"
After patting Li Meng's shoulder hard and laughing for a while, Li Dehui turned his head, glanced at Lu Heng, lowered his voice and said to Li Meng beside him: "However, we will talk about the poems later. I will do it for you.
Introduce someone!"
It's no wonder that Li Dehui is so cautious. After all, Lu Heng's identity is too sensitive, and there are countless enemies who are staring at Lu Heng along the way. It is also because of this that a few days ago, the secret order from the court came into his hands. Severely
Warn yourself, protect Lu Heng's safety, and come to see him if something happens.
It can be seen from this that His Majesty takes care of the Imperial Master. If Lu Heng's identity is revealed, the matter will be serious.
Moreover, when they were downstairs, Lu Heng also expressed that he did not want to reveal his identity. So, after the two discussed it, Lu Heng became an ordinary friend of Li Dehui. He has been sitting there since he went to the Yellow Crane Tower.
In the corner, laughing and chatting with my family.
"Who?" Seeing the governor being so cautious, Li Meng felt awe-struck and asked in confusion.
Li Dehui smiled and pulled Li Meng directly to Lu Heng.
Li Meng was puzzled at first, but after following the governor, he walked to the corner and saw the scholar sitting in front of him, smiling and teasing his family. Li Meng's eyes suddenly opened wide.
"Emperor, Imperial Master?"
Li Meng never imagined that the legendary Imperial Master would appear here.
After a moment of astonishment, Li Meng found that he was still standing there dumbfounded. Only then did he realize his impoliteness, and quickly lifted up his front hem and knelt down to salute.
"Student, I have seen big...!"
However, before he could make any move, he was stopped by Lu Heng's look.
"Do you know me?" Lu Heng smiled and pointed to the chair next to him. As he spoke, he did not forget to give Li Dehui a sideways look.
Li Dehui scratched his head and looked around blankly, pretending to be dumbfounded.
Li Meng bent down and replied respectfully: "Students have seen your portrait in Lingyan Pavilion in Tokyo!"
"Lingyan Pavilion?" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "When was it built?"
Although Li Meng was surprised how the emperor didn't know about this, he still replied respectfully: "It will be built in the spring of this year! There is only a portrait of you in it!"
Lu Heng snorted, then suddenly thought of something, and said in disbelief: "You just said that there is a portrait of me in Lingyan Pavilion?"
"Yes, sir!" Li Meng nodded and said solemnly.
Hearing this, Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and the muscles on his face twitched.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qingqing, who was standing next to her, saw that Lu Heng looked very unnatural, stretched out her hand and grabbed Lu Heng's arm, and asked with concern.
Lu Heng smiled hard, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it just feels a bit sudden!"
"Oh!" Seeing that nothing serious happened, Liu Qingqing felt relieved and said softly.
Compared to Ling Yange, Liu Qingqing was more concerned about her husband's health and whether he was in a good mood.
Beside him, Lu Heng sat there, shaking his head and sighing, feeling dumbfounded in his heart.
It seems that when he told the emperor, he told him that only after the death of national heroes can the statues be hung in Lingyan Pavilion.
I am still alive and well!
"Moreover, when the students were in Tokyo, they often heard officials and people in the capital talking about you. Even His Majesty told the students several times that you are a saint from all ages, and he hopes that the students can become the second Lu Yongzheng.
!" Li Meng, who was standing in front of him, looked at the great Zhou legend with admiration. He was so excited that he started to talk a little bit.
Lingyan Pavilion, it was a temple built by Emperor Taizong in the Tang Dynasty to commemorate the founding heroes. Now, His Majesty the Emperor followed Emperor Taizong and built Lingyan Pavilion. The commemorative significance is extraordinary.
Those who can enter Lingyan Pavilion all have immortal achievements that will carry forward the past and open up the future. And the only person who can enter Lingyan Pavilion alive is probably the legendary figure of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Li Meng was here, secretly guessing with envy, and the admiration in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
However, if Lu Heng knew that he was thinking about this, he would probably hit someone immediately.
Damn, who have you ever seen who was commemorated while alive?
Lu Heng waved his hands, obviously not wanting to dwell on the matter anymore. After taking a sip of tea, he looked at the handsome number one scholar in front of him, pointed at Miss Li who was surrounded by many students, and joked with Li Meng: "Top Scholar, if
If you don’t show off, your sweetheart will be snatched away by others!”
Just now when many students were showing off, Li Meng's eyes had been fixed on Miss Li.
