The three of them were eating and drinking when the waiter who was waiting outside the door came in with a face full of surprise: "Congratulations to the young master, Miss Shishi sent a message and asked the young master to go to the west building to talk."
They had to send lyrics and music to Master Li on behalf of many people every day, but in the end very few were able to catch Master Li's eye.
Because after Li Shishi became famous, his friends were all contemporary great poets, including the current emperor. Li Shishi was influenced by his ears and eyes, and his cultural attainments were naturally very high. Moreover, the lyrics and music he asked for were all to be performed to the emperor, so he naturally strived for excellence.
Chao Yong was not surprised at all by this, because what he sent was a poem by Xin Qiji that was passed down to later generations. Xin Qiji's status in the world of poetry was comparable to that of Su Shi. If this could not tempt Li Shishi, then he would really
He can only be like Song Jiang in Water Margin, bribing the old bustard with a lot of money to meet this romantic concubine.
"Xiao Qi, Zhang Qian, are you going?"
Sometimes Qian was making out with drunken prostitutes there. Ruan Xiaoqi also felt that today's drink was unpleasant, so he stood up and said, "Go, I also want to see what Mr. Li looks like."
Shi Qian was already half drunk at this time, and the clothes of the drunken prostitute were torn to pieces, and a large piece of his chest was exposed to the air. He longed for the two of them to leave so that he could go further. After hearing this, he immediately said: "If I want to
Go, you can't go anywhere. You go, I'll have a drink here."
Chao Yong also knows how to fly over eaves and walls with time. I am afraid there is really no place he cannot go except the palace.
About ten steps away from the west tower, I saw two capable men guarding the building. They stood there with an upright posture, not like ordinary servants guarding the courtyard.
At the door of the building, a pretty maid of fifteen or sixteen years old saw the waiter leading someone over, and then she came up to greet him.
The waiter was obviously a little afraid of the two men. He was still three or four steps away from them, so he stopped and introduced: "The person here is Sister Mei Xiang who is next to Miss Shishi. She will take the two of them to meet Miss Shishi."
.The younger one cannot enter the West Tower, so he is waiting for the two young masters here."
Mei Xiang came forward, looked at Chao Yong and Chao Yong curiously, and then said: "You two young masters, come with me."
"Then it's time for you, Miss."
Chao Yong followed Mei Xiang and walked past the two of them. One of them gave Chao Yong a deep look with a strong warning meaning.
Chao Yong secretly thought: It seems that the emperor stayed here to guard Li Shishi's inner bodyguards, so that Li Shishi would not be disturbed by some ignorant people. At the same time, he could also warn some people Li Shishi wanted to see not to cross the line.
The two of them followed the maid into the west building and saw several landscape paintings hanging on the two walls and several rhinoceros leather chairs underneath.
Although Chao Yong did not understand calligraphy and painting, he could tell that they were calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, not the ordinary paintings and calligraphy that had been hung in the North Tower Pavilion before. Taking a closer look, one of the paintings was actually given to Master Li by the current Grand Master Cai Jing, with the following words on it:
Inscription by Cai Jing.
Chao Yong couldn't help but look forward curiously. The picture in front was a painting of flowers and birds, with a poem on it, but there was no signature. However, it looked like the handwriting was the thin gold style of today's romantic emperor, and it ranked among
I am afraid there will be no one else in front of the powerful Prime Minister Cai Jing except the romantic emperor.
Looking at the calligraphy and paintings of the emperor and the grand master, Chao Yong didn't know whether to praise Li Shishi's charm or lament the ridiculousness of this pair of monarchs and ministers.
"Young masters, please wait a moment. I'll ask the girl to come out."
The waitress went in for a moment and saw a woman slowly walking out.
Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Master Li blankly and asked: "Could it be that a fairy from heaven descended to earth?"
When Chao Yong met Mr. Li, he realized what it means to have the appearance of a fish sinking like a geese, or a flower shy of the moon.
Hu Sanniang is beautiful, but she only feels like a beauty, while Li Shishi's beauty gives people a feeling of beauty that should not belong to the human world, as if only fairies in the sky can be so beautiful.
Master Li couldn't help but smile when he heard Ruan Xiaoqi's surprise.
The person who spoke had a dark complexion. Although his expression was slightly dull at this time, he could not hide his unruliness. He did not seem to be someone who could write lyrics. The other person had a delicate appearance, and although he looked a bit elegant, he looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.
Even at this age, I’m afraid I can’t write such good words.
Li Shishi was curious and Chao Yong said: "May I ask if the young master is the one who composed the lyrics?"
Chao Yong also came back to his senses at this time. Seeing Master Li's curious look, he wanted to say that he did it. However, thinking about his poor literary background, he had no choice but to give up the idea. Although he still had
I can remember a few excellent poems from the Northern Song Dynasty onwards, but through casual exchanges, I can see that I don’t have that literary quality at all, and plagiarism is not that easy.
"I don't know much about writing, so how can I write such a wonderful poem? The poem was written by a good friend. I was going to Tokyo this time. I heard that Miss Shishi likes lyrics and music, so I asked him for it so I could have a look at it.
Allow."
Li Shishi finally found a good lyric. He originally thought that he could meet the lyricist and ask for a few more lyrics. When he heard that Chao Yong was not the lyricist, a trace of disappointment flashed across his face.
Seeing Master Li's disappointment, Chao Yong felt a trace of intolerance in his heart and almost said that the words were written by Xin Qiji.
When the words came to his lips, he suddenly woke up and couldn't help but admire the charm of Master Li.
Every frown and every smile touches people's hearts, no wonder it can confuse all living beings.
"You two gentlemen, please take a seat."
The three of them sat down separately as the guest of honour. Li Shishi asked: "You two gentlemen, their accents seem to be from Jingdong?"
Chao Yong smiled and said: "Miss Shishi is well-educated and knowledgeable, and we are both from Jingdong."
"Let me guess again, the young master's friend is a woman?"
Chao Yong naturally knew that the friend she mentioned was the lyricist, but when he heard that Li Shishi judged that it was a woman, he couldn't help but was stunned and shook his head: "No, how could Miss Shishi make such an inference?"
Li Shishi saw that Chao Yong seemed to be telling the truth, and couldn't help but wonder: "I think this poem has a clear and beautiful style, graceful and charming, and it describes a woman's lovesickness. It is somewhat similar to Yi An's poems in earlier years. During the Daguan period, Yi An
An Jushi returned to Qingzhou with her husband. The young master came from Jingdong, so I guessed that this poem was a new work by Yi An. Unexpectedly, it was written by a man."
Xin Qiji's poems are powerful and heroic, and he can be regarded as a poet of the bold school. Together with Su Shi, he is called "Su Xin". Most of his works are heroic, but there are also some graceful poems.
What Chao Yong gave to Li Shishi was "Man Jiang Hong" by Xin Qiji. The whole poem was easy to understand and it was one of the few ancient poems he remembered.
"Breaking the sorrow of separation, outside the screen window, the wind swayed the green bamboos. After the people left, the sound of the flute stopped, and the person leaning on the building was alone. The eyes were full of March dusk, and when I raised my head, I saw thousands of green mountains. But try sending a piece of paper to write,
Read from the beginning. The word "love" fills the space; the meaning of "love", when will it be enough? A little bit of dripping on the lapels, the tears are full of tears. The fragrant grass does not stray from the traveler's path, and the weeping willows only hinder people's eyes. The most painful thing is, at dusk after the end of the moon,
Langan Qu."
Chao Yong laughed and said: "Such small words are just his game work. He also has many bold and outstanding works that are comparable to Su Shi and Ouyang Xiu. It's a pity that he retreats to the mountains and forests and is unwilling to become an official."
When Li Shishi heard Chao Yong's evaluation of the lyricist, he said with a longing expression: "Today's Holy Emperor likes literature. I originally thought that all the talents in the world were already in the capital. I didn't expect that there are such talents in the mountains and forests. I just regret that Shishi has no chance to meet him.
"
Although Chao Yong couldn't bear to reject the beauty, he couldn't find the unborn Xin Qiji, so he could only smile and said: "My good friend will never come to Beijing, but if Miss Shishi likes it, I can ask him for more
A masterpiece for the girl."
Although he could not see a talent comparable to Su Shi, he was fortunate enough to see his masterpieces again. Master Li was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Master, I will thank you first."
Master Li's smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, making people feel like they were bathed in the spring breeze.
While the two were talking, the maid came to report: "The officials are coming to the back."
Li Shishi hurriedly said: "Today there are noble people coming, Shishi doesn't dare to keep two more people. Tomorrow, Jin Mingchi will celebrate the festival, and he will not come. If you two come back when you are free, Shishi will definitely warm the wine and wait for you."
When Chao Yong heard this, he also knew that the romantic emperor had come to have an affair, and his goal had been achieved, so he took Ruan Xiaoqi and left.
