Chinese literati 刘小川 3664Words 2018-03-18
His father is a famous scholar, and his daughter is all beautiful.So a famous official named Zhao Tingzhi was alarmed.This Zhao family has a young master who is fine-looking, but more importantly, the matchmaker described it this way: Mr. Zhao has been immersed in gold and stone calligraphy and painting since he was a child, and he has gained the aura of ancient objects.In short, the benefits are endless. Li Qingzhao's eyes lit up, her pretty face blushed and she asked anxiously: Mr. Zhao, his name is... The matchmaker slapped her fat leg: Zhao Mingcheng! Li Qingzhao was short of breath.She had heard of this Zhao Mingcheng.When the daughters in the boudoir got together, the three words Zhao Mingcheng passed, chewed, and swallowed between the red lips and jade teeth.

The matchmaker asked Li Gefei with a smile, and Li Gefei looked at his daughter with a smile. Li Qingzhao walks away with shame... At the age of eighteen, Li Qingzhao finally got out of her boudoir and became a grand gift.What kind of man is Zhao Mingcheng who has folded famous flowers in his hand? Zhao Mingcheng was three or four years older than Li Qingzhao.His father, Zhao Tingzhi, had a close relationship with Cai Jing, and his official career was prosperous, and later he went to Shangshu Youpushe.Shangshu Zuo Pushe is Cai Jing, who is in power.Cai Jing is not only a master of power, but also a great calligrapher.Zhao Tingzhi collected gold and stone calligraphy and paintings, including the works of Huizong and Cai Jing. His collection is rich and envied by all officials.After Su Dongpo, Huang Ting insisted that he was a big name in the domestic literary circle. When he visited Zhao Tingzhi's study, he was amazed that "the ancient calligraphy is very rich".Huang Tingjian is also a great calligrapher.

Zhao Mingcheng's family environment is similar to that of Li Qingzhao.This man from various cities in Shandong has pen and ink in his blood.Its "Jinshilu Self-narration" says: "Yu Zishao was young, and he liked to visit the previous Jinshi inscriptions from the scholars and doctors at that time." Gold refers to previous metal vessels with inscriptions or patterns.Stone means stele.Collecting gold stones is mainly collecting rubbings.Epigraphy was created by Ouyang Xiu in the Northern Song Dynasty. Ouyang called himself "Liuyi Layman", among which there is "a collection of ancient one thousand volumes".

Li Qingzhao was obviously very satisfied with marrying Zhao Mingcheng.The process of the day of the wedding is unknown, from the grand wedding to the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Li Qingzhao did not leave a single word, so that future generations can figure it out. The wedding was held in Bianjing. After marriage, Li Qingzhao moved to Tokyo and soon became a lover of Jinshi calligraphy and painting. Wife obeys husband.The social fashion is like this, and Li Qingzhao is no exception.What's more, when she was a girl, she accumulated so much love.She can't wait to get married soon.

In the Song Dynasty, the study of agents was prevalent, first there was Ercheng, and then there was Zhu Xi.Neo Confucianism strengthens ethics.Women's footbinding has been popular among the people, which lasted for more than 800 years until 1949.Chinese women in the middle of the twentieth century were especially impressed by "before liberation and after liberation".Women stand up and are liberated.What this "turning over" turned over was thousands of years of feudal oppression. Judging from Li Qingzhao's lively personality, her feet are probably "natural feet".

Li Qingzhao and the Three Inch Golden Lotus are not compatible.She meets her husband.They heard about each other's famous names before marriage, and called each other's sweetheart after marriage. Twenty-one-year-old Zhao Mingcheng was a student in the capital at that time.In addition to going to Taixue, he also has two favorite places: going home and visiting Daxiangguo Temple. Go home and spend time with your lovely wife, pondering the pleasures every day; visiting the Daxiangguo Temple, and communicating with antique calligraphy and paintings. Buddhism and Taoism flourished in the Song Dynasty, and there were many temples and palaces in Bianliang City.Daxiangguo Temple is next to Yujie Street, where temple fairs are held every year to perform Buddhist ceremonies, and it is known as Guanjingcheng.Usually there is a "Tile Market", which is open eight times a month, and the three religions and nine streams gather together.The rush to the market in the city is similar to the rush to the market in the countryside, except that the faces and clothes are different, and there are more items and trading tricks.The courtyard and corridor outside the monk's house in Daxiangguo Temple can be traded by thousands of people.The antique calligraphy and painting market is always crowded with people.Among them is Zhao Mingcheng, a young man who wears a scarf hat, wears a deep coat with a skirt around his neck, and speaks a Shandong accent.

The rich kid also bargains because he has a big appetite. After buying something, I went home in a hurry, and "relatively played and tasted" with my wife. Ancient cultural relics are wonderful in a playful word.Utensils are called play, calligraphy, painting and rubbings are called exhibition play.Mastering the relevant knowledge is second, the most important thing is advocating the ancient times, "discovering the nostalgia of the ancient times." Just imagine how excited it would be to own a painting by Wen Tong and calligraphy by Su Shi.Paper, ink color, works, and the person's appearance, the four are combined into one, rushing to the eyes.

Newly-married men and women are a wonderful combination of yin and yang.Also known as playing, playing, and trying to figure out.Antiquities still have life and "body temperature", not to mention the inexhaustible delicacies and nephrite jade that are not enough to hug?The young couple played with each other, embraced each other and played wildly. Oh, what a youthful time. In a flash, it was more than two years. Young couple playing paleo addicted.This addiction is good for people. Just a waste of money.The antiques were moved home one by one.As a noble young woman, her material life has declined: "Eat heavy meat, clothes heavy colors, no pearls and emerald ornaments on the head, no gold-painted embroidery utensils in the room."

Li Qingzhao's face turned to the sky, and he never tired of it.The pearl and emerald are all in the pawn shop.Zhao Mingcheng had one more collection in his treasure room, and Li Qingzhao would have one less ornament brought from his natal family.But Zhao Mingcheng patted her chest: the things sent to the pawn shop will definitely be redeemed.His father's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and when he finishes his studies in Taixue, he will also become an official. The salaries of officials in the Song Dynasty were generous.However, Zhao Mingcheng relied on the family shadow system, even if he failed to pass the Jinshi examination, he could still wear official uniforms.

The sense of superiority of the sons and daughters of officials can still be imagined today. But a friend excitedly sent a treasure of calligraphy and painting, "Peony Picture" by Xu Xi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, asking for 200,000 yuan.Zhao Chengcheng was worried because he couldn't make up the number.Turning to look at Li Qingzhao, the valuable things on his head are gone.This Xu Xi is incredible. "Imperial Xuanhe Painting Book" said that he "paints flowers, birds, fish and insects, which is wonderful." His works are treasures in the court. Shen Kuo praised him in "Mengxi Bi Tan" .However, Li Qingzhao prefers Li Yu's romanticism, loves the house and the crow, and plays with Xu Xi's peony picture again and again, and he loves it more than her husband.

It was night when the couple made an exception and refused to go to bed. They played and enjoyed all night, marveling and moaning.When the sun rose the next day, the painting was still taken away by the friend muttering. Li Qingzhao said to her husband: Simply sell your house, there are several places in the capital. Zhao Mingcheng frowns: I mentioned it before when money was tight, and my father said that the house is also an antique. Li Qingzhao's beautiful eyes twinkled: How about I go back to my mother's house and discuss it with my father. Zhao Mingcheng was aroused by her pretty appearance, bit her earlobe softly and said: Silly lady, how can there be such a reason?Go back to the house, go back to the house, I won't be going to school today, and I've been playing with fake peonies all night, it's better to try the real peonies. Li Qingzhao took offense, and deliberately asked: Am I like a peony? Zhao Mingcheng thought for a while and said: At the beginning, he was like Zhao Feiyan, but now he is better than Yang Yuhuan. Enjoy Fangzi and close the door in the daytime, and it is dusk in a blink of an eye... Soon, Zhang Ruzhou, a son of a rich family in Bianliang, brought a collection of poems copied by poets of the Tang Dynasty, and asked Zhao and Li to appreciate them.And claimed that, let's not talk about the price first, please ask Li Qingzhao to record a copy in her lower script.Zhang Ruzhou is Zhao Mingcheng's friend, but he likes to look at Li Qingzhao when he talks.Zhao Mingcheng is fond of gold and stone calligraphy and painting, so he is not sensitive to it. Li Qingzhao copied Tang Dynasty poems at home, and Zhang Ruzhou came in a small carriage, pretending to watch the progress and calligraphy, and wandered into Zhao's mansion near Yujie.Zhao Ting went to court, Zhao Mingcheng went to school, and the servants in the mansion were not wary of Zhang Ruzhou.The son of a rich family has a good manner, and he read and read Li Qingzhao's calligraphy, dawdling for a long time.He prudently praised Li Qingzhao, from his calligraphy to his plain face.In fact, Li Qingzhao received him with light makeup, which was in line with the rules. Zhang Chou of the Ming Dynasty saw Li Qingzhao's calligraphy works and praised them as "clean and lovely".Another person named Song Lian was fortunate enough to witness Li Qingzhao's autographed painting "Pipa Xing". She spent many days "drawing and writing" and admired Bai Juyi.It's a pity that the long scroll was destroyed in the military chaos. And Li Qingzhao these days without looking up to the sky, the ladies of the capital are speechless... After Li Qingzhao finished recording the copy, Zhang Ruzhou asked for a price.The man looked at her with a smile for a long time, and his eyes seemed to touch her slender shoulders and waist, her beautiful facial features by the way.Li Qingzhao was a refreshing person, his face turned red when he looked at it like this, but he didn't care after all, he just urged him to say the number quickly. Zhang Ruzhou still smiled, and said slowly: "I will give you the original, but I will take the copy away." Li Qingzhao raised his eyebrows: This is not acceptable, this gift is too expensive, we cannot accept it! Without saying a word, Zhang Ruzhou took the copy and walked away.Li Qingzhao hurriedly raised his leg to stop him, and stretched out his slender hand.The two had a friendly dispute, and Zhang Ruzhou insisted on sending him off.The dispute continued for a while, and it was inevitable that there would be contacts and smells. ——Zhang Ruzhou even took a deep breath in the midst of his busy schedule, enjoying the breath like blue, and being intoxicated for a moment. When Zhao Mingcheng went home, Li Qingzhao told the story and repeated her opinion: it cannot be accepted.But Zhao Mingcheng said: A book of Tang poems is not as good as Xu Xi's paintings. Ru Zhou is kind but disrespectful, so why not accept it. That Zhang Ruzhou carried Li Qingzhao's ink-scented copy and left happily.It was Ye Zhan who kept playing and sniffed with his nose, thinking that the fragrance of ink was body fragrance. Because of this incident, Li Qingzhao had a good impression of Zhang Ruzhou. After that, Zhang Ruzhou went to the Zhao Mansion whenever he had something to do.Usually, Zhao Mingcheng is at home.If he is not at home by chance, Zhang Ruzhou will be surprised and say: I am too learned to speak today, oh, Brother Mingcheng must have gone to Daxiangguo Temple... Li Qingzhao ordered the maid to serve fragrant tea. Zhang Ruzhou looked at the beautiful young woman with a tea bowl in his hand and said, "Take two sips and leave, take two sips and leave." He drank three courses of fragrant tea, but he couldn't move his feet.He also said: It’s really good tea, mellow and delicious, it’s a pity to spill it... Li Qingzhao looked at him quietly.The incense burner and fragrant tea are curling up. The two later had a story. After two or three years of marriage, Li Qingzhao and her husband are in harmony, from spirit to body, they are almost inseparable.A pair of Shandong men and women, both masculine and feminine.To see the style, please see "Magnolia Flower": On the flower seller, I bought a spring and wanted to release it.The tears are stained lightly and evenly, still with the red glow and the dawn dew. Afraid Lang guessed that slave noodles are not as good as flower noodles.The oblique hairpin on the temples of the clouds, I have to teach Lang to compare and see them together. Li Qingzhao dared to compare her beauty with flowers, it seemed that she was indeed beautiful.She is thin and tall, and she also has the meaning of skinny beauty.In other words, she looks more modern.The character is lively and reserved, and full of ancient times. "The oblique hairpin on the temples of the clouds, you have to teach Lang to compare with each other." This pretty look is playful, let alone on the street.Should the return rate be 100%?Some people praise it, some people envy it, some people regard it as frivolous. Li Qingzhao didn't care about other people's evaluation, when he was wandering in the street, he could walk however he wanted.She is not lacking in education, so she occasionally flirts in the street.It's fun to be coquettish. She and her father-in-law Zhao Tingzhi couldn't get along anyway, and they had quarrels from time to time.There are records of this matter in Song Dynasty.Maybe Li Qingzhao didn't like this father-in-law very much the day he first entered Zhao's residence.Talented women generally have personalities, and talented women have more prominent personalities.Li Qingzhao did not lower his eyebrows because of the high threshold of the Zhao family.The father-in-law criticizes her, and if she thinks it is unreasonable, she will contradict her.She loves Zhao Mingcheng, but she looks a little supercilious at Zhao Tingzhi, a dignified court official.This level also revealed that Zhao Mingcheng did not put pressure on his wife from his father's standpoint.Maybe he also did ideological work for his mother and said many benefits to his wife.Weng and daughter-in-law are already at odds. If there is another conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Li Qingzhao is bound to suffer double oppression and live an infinitely depressed life. It seems that Zhao Mingcheng's "duan" (song people's saying) is a good husband, and northern men know how to be gentle and considerate.His family's status is so high, and he is so cultured. The epigrapher's reputation is growing day by day, and he is nicknamed "Little Ouyang" in the circle.But he loves and respects his wife Li Qingzhao.He knew that my dear wife was not only a flower, but the little orders my wife filled out, such as "Huanxi Sha", could completely compete with Feng Yanji, Wen Tingyun and Yan Yan.It can even compare to Ouyang Xiu who the beautiful couple admired together. Zhao Tingzhi once impeached Su Shi, and later impeached Li Gefei, a Sumen scholar. Out of political considerations, he did not recognize his children and relatives.The conflict between Li Qingzhao and his father-in-law deepened, but it was not intensified because of Zhao Mingcheng.Just mention these things.The most important thing is that Li Qingzhao was in his early twenties when he encountered the pain of parting: her husband had officially embarked on an official career and started to wander. In the early Song Dynasty, when they were officials, they were called "Mokan", and they generally did not have wives. The beautiful young woman guards the vacant room day after day.Trying to adapt, but it is difficult to adapt.
