Chapter 7 Section five

It is very important for Juren who take the Jinshi exam to make friends with friends who took the exam in the same year before and after the exam. This is the basis for their future political connections.Therefore, Tang Di has countless parties to attend, and he always likes to bring Shi Yue to go with him, bragging with Li Dunmin and others what an excellent friend he has. Shi Yue always reluctantly participates in this kind of gathering. Every time he has a banquet, he has to come out with several new poems and new words. , his "talent" is getting bigger and bigger, but he still doesn't like these banquets very much.

"It's another boring party. Wang Anshi's Green Crop Law should also be enacted?" When Shi Yue helped the drunk Tang Di climb into the carriage, he looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed secretly. He kept laughing and said "goodbye" to the half-drunk students who passed by. "I have seen so many examples... Ye Zuqia's just now, the article is full of beautiful things, but the character is... He didn't even know Wang Anshi, but he praised Wang Anshi as the reincarnation of Confucius. That's all. It's too much to say that Lu Huiqing is Yan Hui..." Thinking of this, Shi Yue couldn't help feeling a little nauseous.These gatherings made Shi Yue feel extremely disappointed. History books say that the Song Dynasty was the era that cultivated the integrity of the scholar-officials. Where are these people? Why do I see a scene of Wen Tian and Wu playing?" While glancing at Tang Di, who was sleeping soundly beside him, Shi Yue softly ordered the coachman: "Go slowly."

"The ancient prose movement of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, some even say it is the Renaissance of ancient China. Now Wang Anshi, Su Shi, and Ouyang Xiu are all alive, but the scholars under their influence are indulging in sensuality. The cloud has fallen to the enemy, and the imperial court wants to take care of Khitan? Has anyone ever thought that the Yellow River diverted its course and burst its embankment, and many people were in dire straits? These scholars, who pin their hopes on this era, are concerned about poetry, ditties, singing and dancing girls, and what they want is A bright future!" Shi Yue became more and more angry as he thought about it.The Song Dynasty was a beautiful era, with the selfless help from Tang Di and the Sang family, Chu Yun'er's beautiful Song lyrics, and the unpolluted sky... However, Shi Yue, who came from thousands of years later, has a destiny for the direction of this world understanding.All this will be destroyed by the looting of the barbarians!Not far away!

"It's these people who pushed this lovely world and civilization to its end!" Shi Yue didn't understand why he was so emotional. "In the Han Dynasty, just because Han Gaozu was besieged by the Xiongnu in Baideng, people could endure humiliation for decades, and finally defeated their enemies and won the challenge of history. But people in this era, It is impossible to win a new round of challenges!" The horse-drawn carriage slowly ran across the streets of Bianjing, and the sounds of noise from the marketplace continued to flow into the carriage. This era already has a bustling night market!Shi Yue glanced out of the car, and the snow under the roots of a big tree on the side of the road caught his eye. He thought of the snowy day when he came to this world, and he sighed secretly. Suddenly, a picture flashed in his mind, That was the scene of myself chanting a poem under the gate of Dailou. That line of poem "finally makes the color of the river and mountain change!"——finally makes the color of the river and mountain change?Can I have this ability?

Shi Yue shook his head self-consciously. "I am just a passer-by who was wrongly thrown into this time and space. How can one person turn the huge wheel of history? There are many outstanding people in this era. Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Su Shi, which one is the ordinary generation? ?Even Lu Huiqing is an extremely smart person. If I want to change the fate of this era, I have to fight these people. Is this considered overestimation?" Shi Yue asked self-deprecatingly. "Maybe I'm just a bystander. God sent me to this world just to watch her demise." Shi Yue said to himself.Tang Di murmured in his dream: "Please... please, please, please, please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while; if... Ruo is a scholar who is a million and a million households." Obviously he is still talking about poetry with others in his dream.Shi Yue smiled slightly and said: "Yes, how many scholars are there in Lingyan Pavilion? In the end, I am just a scholar." Smile - I don't know if the Buddha can give me the answer?

I was thinking about something secretly, when I suddenly heard someone shouting outside: "Fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, fortune-telling, ten cents per lesson, no money..." Shi Yue lifted the curtain, looked out of the car, A fortune teller came from the opposite side holding a banner, looking like a fairy. Shi Yue was touched, and quickly said to the coachman: "Just stop." He jumped out of the car, walked quickly to the fortune teller, and said with a smile: "Sir, please help me do the math." The fortune-teller immediately smiled, not to mention the slightest demeanor, and said with a smile: "Master, do you read palmistry or measure characters, must you want to calculate the spring of next spring?" He looked at Shi Yue's dress, and said that he was a scholar who wanted to tell fortunes , this season, mostly for fame.His calculations are not wrong, but it is a pity that they are too far behind when they meet Shi Yue.

Seeing his expression and listening to his words, Shi Yue's heart was already chilled, so he refused to let him do the math, he just said: "I don't know the words or looks, do you have a lottery here? I'll draw a lottery. Jin Zhaoge." He said in his heart, "I sincerely ask the divination to the heavens, lest I be misled by you, it's important." The fortune teller nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes." He respectfully took out a bamboo tube from his wardrobe.Shi Yue asked for a stick of incense, bowed to the sky a few times, and secretly prayed in his heart: "Shi Yue sincerely prayed to the gods in the sky today. I don't believe in gods or destiny. I don't dare to blame you for putting me in this world." ... If you have a spirit, then give me an instruction and tell me what you want me to do; if you don't have a spirit, just give me a random answer." He didn't care if the prayer was a bit nondescript, After finishing speaking, Wang Kong bowed a few times, took the bamboo tube and shook it a few times, and a stick fell to the ground.

Shi Yue picked it up and took a look, but there were two lines of poems: "Yu Yu's heart is kind, even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets." He recognized that this was a famous line in Qu Zi's "Li Sao", repeated it lightly, and thought to himself : Is this really a hint from God to me?It seems that the more decisive, the more suspicious.For a while, I was crazy there. The fortune teller thought that Shi Yue had drawn a bad lottery, so he hurriedly persuaded him with a smile: "The man of destiny can be changed due to human affairs, but the heaven is just a warning to us mortals. I Ching Yi Jing, Yi is change, if you can Do your best, even though it was bad at the beginning, it may turn out to be good; if you don’t do your best, you will be awarded by the top, and you may not succeed in the end..." The ramblings continued endlessly.

Shi Yuezheng ignored him, seeing him talking too much, it was funny, and said: "Thank you very much." He gave him ten Wen coins, ignored his thank you behind him, turned around and walked towards the carriage .As soon as he took a step, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face, and only heard a "Woo", a carriage barely stopped in front of him, almost knocking him down.Shi Yue was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Just as he was about to see whose carriage was so unruly, the green cloth curtains on that carriage had already been lifted, and a familiar face jumped into his eyes, it was Chu Yun'er, a singing girl from Biyuexuan.

Seeing that it was Shi Yue, Chu Yun'er couldn't help being stunned. After a while, she came back to her senses, gave a salute on the car, and said Yingying: "Mr. Shi, don't come here unharmed, I'm being polite—I offended you so much, don't blame me if I beg you." .” Even though Shi Yue was full of anger, he couldn't show it when he met such a delicate person, not to mention he was an old acquaintance, so he could only change his face and smile: "It's okay. Unexpectedly, I met a girl today." Chu Yun'er seemed to have a good impression of Shi Yue, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye, she lowered her head and said softly, "This is not a place to talk, I wonder if Mr. Shi can show his face to visit Biyuexuan?"

Shi Yue glanced at his carriage, he was unwilling to let Tang Di go, and he didn't want to go back to Sang Mansion immediately because of his worries, so he said with a smile: "I'm inconvenient today, if the girl doesn't mind, there is a restaurant next door , let me be the host, please tell the girl." Chu Yun'er's heart was pounding, she was afraid of being rejected by him, thinking that she had been in the world for so many years, never thought that someone would reject her, and never cared about someone rejecting her, and she didn't know what happened today.Hearing Shi Yue's invitation at this time, his face immediately blushed, and he said softly: "Don't dare, please, my lord." The two asked for an elegant seat in a restaurant on the side of the road—in fact, it was a single room separated by a screen, just facing the street, and looking down from the upstairs, you could see the night view of Panlou Street, although it was not as good as The city that never sleeps in a modern city, but it is also brightly lit and has a different flavor. Since Shi Yue came upstairs, he has always looked gloomy. Although there are beauties by his side and wine in his hands, he cannot be happy after all.Thinking of the two poems on the signature again, I couldn't help muttering to myself: "Yu Yu's heart is kind, even though he died nine times, he still has no regrets." Facing Chu Yun'er, he turned a blind eye and just raised his hand Neck, he drank a glass of wine in one gulp. Chu Yun'er is someone who is used to the world. Seeing this scene, how could he not know that this elegant young man in front of him actually has a lot on his mind?She didn't know what it was like in her heart, but she pretended to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "Doctor Qu's poem means that as long as it is something we think is right, we should pursue it without regret. It’s Qu Zi’s sentiments of a man of lofty ideals—for this poem, it can indeed be explained.” Immediately, he also raised his glass and drank it down. Shi Yue stared at her for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, okay! I didn't expect Miss Chu to be a hero in the female middle school. With your words, you can be my friend, Shi Yue." "Friend?" Chu Yun'er was stunned.All the men in this world regard her as anything, but no one regards her as a friend, let alone her, at this time, no man will regard her as a friend to any woman in the world.This Mr. Shi's behavior is too unexpected. Shi Yue nodded slowly, and said seriously: "They are friends. Men and women are born of parents and raised by heaven and earth. Why can't they be friends?" Chu Yun'er couldn't accept it, and asked softly: "Since ancient times, men have been called Qian, women have been called Kun, men have been called Yang, and women have been called Yin. Among the five ethics, friend Yilun has never heard that men and women can be placed side by side. of." Shi Yue said with a smile: "Miss Chu, tell me what are the Five Ethics?" "Monarch and subject, father and son, husband and wife, brothers, and friends are the five ethic." Chu Yun'er replied with her lips pursed. Shi Yue said with a smile: "The ruler is responsible, the minister is responsible, the father is responsible, the son is responsible, the husband is responsible, the wife is responsible, the brother is responsible, and the younger brother is responsible. If you can understand it, then why can't friends have yin and yang? What about the match?" Chu Yun'er couldn't help being dumbfounded when she heard his fallacies, so she could only shake her head with a wry smile.Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood, he said: "There are many long and short sentences of Mr. Shi in the market these days. The sisters in Tokyo City are all proud of competing to sing Shi Ci. I wonder if Mr. Shi can give a poem to my slave family. , the slave family can also boast in front of the sisters in the future." When Shi Yue saw Chu Yun'er asking him for lyrics, he couldn't help feeling unhappy in his chest. He shook his head and sighed: "A business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but across the river she still sings about flowers in the backyard." He didn't pay attention to Chu Yun'er's identity, and sighed casually, which made Chu Yun'er feel ashamed.Naturally, she didn't know that Shi Yue's most annoying thing recently was poetry and poetry.Because in this short period of time, Shi Yue has more than 20 "ci works" circulated in Bianjing, and each capital can be passed down through the ages. Because of his different styles of Ci, it is even more amazing. , all call him "Shi Jiubian", and it can be said that the name of the word has spread throughout Bianjing.Therefore, it was normal for Chu Yun'er to ask him for words, and it could even be said to be a compliment, but unexpectedly, he was ridiculed as "not knowing the hatred of subjugation". If it was someone else, Chu Yun'er would have sarcastically responded long ago, but for this Shi Yue, she couldn't open her mouth, she just lowered her head and kept silent, feeling wronged in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes, but she had to hold back desperately, Don't let it fall.After so many years of laughing and laughing in the wind and dust, she only cried in secret if she wanted to cry. This was the first time she couldn't help showing her emotions in front of others. As soon as Shi Yue said the words, he suddenly came to his senses, and he already regretted it in his heart.Seeing Chu Yuner's appearance at this time, he felt even more confused. He had no experience in dealing with girls, so he blushed and said apologetically, "Miss Chu, I didn't do it on purpose. I just felt it." ..." It's fine if he doesn't say it, but after saying it, Chu Yun'er wanted to cry even more, but she also felt that she and this Shi Yue were only two-sided, so she forcibly held back her tears and said quietly: "This is not about Mr. Shi. , it’s my servant’s disrespect.” Seeing her like this, Shi Yue couldn't help feeling even more sorry, and said indiscriminately: "No, no, it's my fault. I originally scolded those scholars, I really did it unintentionally, but in short, it's my fault... ..." Chu Yun'er heard what he said, "I scolded those scholars", but she didn't know what it meant, she still just lowered her head and kept silent.Shi Yue became more and more anxious, blushing, and didn't know what to say to comfort her.In any case, it was just indescribably clumsy—he just sat there blushing, and the two of them were really "relatively speechless". The two of them just sat there blushing, one lowered his head and kept flicking the hem of his clothes, and the other looked out the window with his neck tilted.The waiters who came up to serve didn't know what happened, and they all thought it was funny. After sitting like this for about ten minutes, Chu Yun'er already knew that Shi Yue had a thin face, but it was really hard for him to speak.The person in front of him was no match for others, so he felt a little bit shy for no reason.While thinking wildly, seeing Shi Yue took out a booklet from his arms, put it lightly on the table in front of her, and said gently: "Miss Chu, I really made a mistake just now. This booklet is my usual booklet. There are thirty or forty poems I wrote, so I’m going to make amends for you. Tonight I have a friend who is drunk and needs to take care of me in the car, so I’m leaving, and I’ll come to Biyuexuan to make amends to Miss Chu another day.” Finished speaking Then he heard him "thumping" and ran downstairs as if fleeing. Chu Yun'er waited for Shi Yue to leave for a long time in a daze, then gently picked up the booklet, opened it carefully, and saw that the brush writing on it was so ugly that it barely looked like a single word - couldn't help but chuckle.Her calligraphy is superb, how could Shi Yue be so tall, but her handwriting is like a child's?Thinking of Shi Yue's embarrassment just now, his own grievances, he held the booklet in his arms like a treasure, as if he wanted to put it away together with a girl's concern. Chu Yun'er didn't know that after this night, she never had the chance to see Shi Yue write lyrics, and Shi Yue didn't know that at the time, after this night, the most frequently sung lyrics by Chu Yuner became "Shi Ci".And although he no longer wrote lyrics, nor "borrowed" the ancients' lyrics, his nickname "Shi Jiubian" spread from Bianjing to Hangzhou and from the brothel to the palace with the singing of the singing girl. The young emperor Zhao Xu can also sing a few lines, "A man's heart is like iron, and even death is a thousand things."
