Chapter 37 He Zhu: Who will be saved in Jinse Huanian

If you are lucky or unlucky to travel to the Song Dynasty (you should not feel unfamiliar, you have seen similar scenes many times in movies), a big man with a black face like iron, two meters tall, and glaring sword eyebrows will come to you On the top of his head, there is a bun with sparse and yellow hair, but the size of a plum.At this time, you seem to hear a "boom", and the long sword comes out of the box, and you can't help feeling numb in your scalp and sweating in your palms.Could it be that you came to Shuibo Liangshan and met Li Kui?At this time, he opened his mouth to you, but what he said was: "Lingbo can't pass Hengtang Road, but I will see you off, and Fangchen will go. Who will save Jinse Huanian..." The voice is surprisingly gentle and elegant, full of magnetism.You can't help laughing, as if the soul of Fairy Zixia in "A Chinese Journey to the West" has been transferred to Zhu Bajie.

That's right, this black-faced man is none other than He Zhu, the author of the song "Sapphire Case".Lu You's "Notes of Lao Xue'an" said that He Zhu was "ugly in appearance, dark in color and heroic", so people gave him the nickname "He Guitou".This nickname is not kind at all.No matter how you think about it, this heroic sword-browed man shouldn't be as ugly as a "ghost".What's even more inconceivable is that this black-faced man has always been regarded as the authentic of graceful words.His words are dense and delicate, gentle and beautiful.What kind of exquisite heart is hidden under this rough skin?

In fact, He Zhu's first job was as a royal guard, which had nothing to do with writing poems and lyrics, like Nalan Rongruo who was born in the wrong place.Nalan was also at this age, and became the emperor's bodyguard. However, he didn't like his job, which was considered very glamorous by outsiders, at all. A martial artist had a literati, romantic and sentimental temperament in his bones. However, the experience of practicing martial arts as a teenager made He Zhu show a distinctive chivalrous demeanor.In his almost self-reported poem "Six States Getou", he created a world of martial arts that is yearning for:

"I don't invite long tassels, I'll take the Tianjiao species, and the sword roars in the west wind. I hate climbing mountains and facing the water, I send the Lyceum in my hand, and I see it back." After reading this word, I feel back to the time when I was obsessed with martial arts when I was young. Jianjianghu's loyalty stirred his heart, and he hated that he was born at an untimely time, that he couldn't travel through ancient times and be a knight in white.In fact, the bloody storm in the rivers and lakes, there is no such happy life as imagined, but Ye Gong likes dragons that's all.But He Zhu is a real knight who rushed out in the sword rain.Unexpectedly, this chivalrous man could write such flamboyant and wanton words with a pen and sword style.This song needs to draw a knife and shine a sword, and singing can help its momentum.

Some people regard Su Shi as the suzerain of bold and unrestrained poetry. In fact, He Zhu is the real "martial arts leader".It's a pity that the Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military affairs, did not allow the existence of heroes, and heroes withered before their end.Amidst the sound of sheep, the hero's cry disappeared without a sound. In the world of martial arts, how many women and men will be fascinated by the heroic demeanor of this sword, that is He Zhu's dreamland.Now, this young hero had no choice but to put away his sword, build a hut in a place called Hengtang more than ten miles outside Gusu Gate, and live an ordinary married life with his first wife.Within two years, his wife passed away, and he lived a widower's life alone.

Someone summed up He Zhu's three characteristics: extremely ugly, extremely majestic, and extremely gentle.This chivalrous and tender man probably has a beautiful heart rather than a embroidered mouth, and his emotions are correct. He cannot be as romantic and complacent as Su Shi and Qin Guan, with many wives and concubines and countless fans.He is a resilient man. Although he has no ambitions in his life and is addicted to bureaucrats, he does not know how to exile himself and indulges in romance.After the generous elegy, he put his sword into the box, a cup of rough tea, and a bowl of light rice. In the hut in Hengtang, sitting on a collection of thousands of books, he started editing and writing.

Hengtang, Hengtang again.Speaking of Hengtang, I heard the folk song sung by the ancient boat girl: "Where does your family live, and my concubine lives in Hengtang. Stop the boat and ask, maybe it is a fellow villager." This bold girl, seeing The boy he liked stopped the boat and asked him where he lived in a folk song.The singing is so loud that it travels far above the river, and no young man can hold back when he hears it.Such a girl doesn't need to overwhelm the country, her wild beauty is enough to conquer men. That day, on his way home in Hengtang, he also met a stunning woman, and fell in love with him at first sight, but this honest and reserved man could only daydream while looking at her back.

"Lingbo doesn't pass Hengtang Road, but I will see you off, and Fangchen will go." The opening scene was disappointing, that chance encounter, not even a chance meeting, just watched her go away.The human soul is a strange thing, and no one knows why it suddenly becomes fascinated by a person.Even if he had to fight for this skin, he still wanted her.But He Zhu didn't even dare to think of getting her, because he was not Mr. Pian Pian. A small Hengtang, a beautiful woman, how could he not know her name?If she is not a singing girl, she must be the lady and wife of a rich family.He Zhu knew that it was better to keep some feelings mysterious.If he ran to her, the contempt that the fairy's lips curled up would be enough to destroy all the beauty.

If the handsome man Qin Shaoyou were here at this time, he would probably turn her back with just a smile, but unfortunately he is not.All he could do was think about her from afar. He thought: "Who will save the time of the zither?" She plays the zither every day to pass the day, who is the listener?She can play the piano, Xu is a singer, and there must be a lot of listeners.After the audience dispersed, she plucked the strings idly, "the zither has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one column to think about the year", this piano is played for herself, but there is no audience.

He imagined her residence, "Yueqiao garden, small windows and vermilion households", "Only a place known in spring", "Flying clouds are rising and rising in the evening", presumably, there are colorful clouds slowly growing on the deserted sandbar. Slowly rising and lingering, the twilight merged, drowning her lonely figure. "A heart-broken sentence with colored pens", in the long lonely night, she boredly picked up the colored pens and wrote sad lines on the paper. "Caibi" tells the story of Jiang Yan in the Southern Dynasties.When Jiang Yan was young, his literary talents were brilliant, but in his later years, for some reason, his talents and ideas were exhausted.People have various conjectures about this. Some people say that Jiang Yan lived in Yeting, dreamed of a man named Guo Pu, and said to him: "I have kept my pen at Qing's place for many years, and I can return it." Jiang Yan had no choice but to write He took out a colorful pen from his arms and returned it to him.Jiang Yan, who lost his colored pen, could never write a good article again. The idiom "Jiang Lang's talents are exhausted" also comes from this.

She was holding a colored pen in her hand, which must have belonged to a fairy family.I just don't know who wrote the fairy's heartbroken sentence. In this way, his mind is full of her shadow all day long, imagining her every move, every smile and every frown, feeling restless.Sometimes, he also imagined the scene when he saw her.However, when he thought of his ugly appearance, he felt inferior. He only hoped that in the next life, he would turn into that peerless beauty and go find her again. He also knows that what he has is "Xianchou", which is neither heart-piercing like a broken love, nor like a lost love like a day, like three autumns, just thinking about her all day long, but can't think of her. The reason for this is not to worry about what is it?However, he couldn't help himself not to think about her.He said: If you want to ask me how much "leisure and sorrow" there is, you can use the metaphor of "a river of tobacco, a city full of wind and rain, and plums yellow in the rain". Qing Wang Kaiyun said: "A sentence of one month is not a moment." It turns out that Sichuan tobacco, catkins flying all over the city, plum rain and yellow time rain are the three stages of spring, and three sentences are the whole spring. Miss her, in a flash, spring is over. Huang Tingjian believed that He Zhu's poem was no less than Qin Guanxiaoling's: "Shaoyou drunk and lying under the ancient vine, who will sing a cup with Sorrow? He Fang is the only one who can explain the heartbroken sentence in the south of the Yangtze River." Yichuan Tobacco, full of wind and wind in the city, plums yellow in the rain", got the nickname "He Meizi". According to "Zhupo Poetry Talk", He Zhu made friends with Guo Gongfu when he was in Gusu in his later years, and the two often joked with each other.He Zhu's hair was thin and bald, and his bun was pitifully small. Guo Gongfu pointed at his bun and laughed, "This is really 'He Meizi'!" He Zhu retorted, stroking Guo Gongfu's snow-white cheeks Huzi said: "You can also be called 'Guo Xunhu'?" Training fox is a kind of owl with gray feathers. Although He Zhu didn't suffer much from his mouth, the nickname "He Meizi" has indeed fallen and cannot be shaken off.
