Chapter 122 Gift

Wang Can was impressed by Liu Jing's calligraphy, as well as his articles, especially one of his articles.

"At the end of the Yongyuan period, people in Wuling fished for a living. They walked along the stream, forgetting the distance of the road. Suddenly, they came across a peach blossom forest, with hundreds of steps between the banks, and there were no miscellaneous trees in it. The grass was delicious and the flowers were colorful. The fishermen were very different. Going forward again, wanting to deprive the forest....The land is flat and open, the houses look like mulberry and bamboo in the fertile fields and beautiful ponds. The traffic on the rice paddies, chickens and dogs hear each other. Among them, there are planting plants, men and women dress like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down. , and happy with himself....Changsha Uncle Liu heard about it, and went there happily, but failed...."

That's right, this article is Tao Yuanming's masterpiece "Peach Blossom Spring". Because of the different ages, the time is changed from the middle of Jin Taiyuan to the end of Han Yongyuan, that is, a hundred years ago.

At the end of the article, Liu Ziji, a hermit from Nanyang, replaced Uncle Liu of Changsha.Liu Bochang is Liu Jing's great-grandfather Liu Shou, and he also intends to promote his family's reputation in this article.

Pan Jun looked at the "Peach Blossom Spring" held by Wang Can, his eyes were red, and he wished to snatch it away. "Peach Blossom Spring" is a beautiful essay that has been passed down through the ages, coupled with the elegant and elegant running script, it can be called a match made in heaven, and anyone who reads it will feel possessive.

What's more, the place mentioned in "Peach Blossom Spring" is his hometown Wuling. He is determined to win this article, and even Wang Can can't give it up.

Feeling the "strange" look in Pan Jun's eyes next to him, Wang Can finally came to his senses, moved his eyes away from Cai Lun's paper, and smiled dryly at Pan Jun.

He has always been open-minded and informal, but it was the first time he and Liu Jing met, so it would be extremely rude to ask him for an article directly.

On the contrary, the relationship between Pan Jun and Liu Jing is much closer, and this article belongs to them.However, Wang Can thought clearly in his heart, but he held the article tightly in his hand, and couldn't bear to let it go.

Pan Jun's eyes became more and more covetous. Seeing that the two were "not giving in to each other", Liu Jing shook his head with a smile, and persuaded, "It's just an article. Why do you two do this?"

Wang Can sighed in his heart when he heard the words, and finally put down "Peach Blossom Spring" reluctantly.

Pan Jun said to Liu Jing unabashedly: "Zhongda, this article touches my heart..."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "Brother, why bother to be polite to me, just take it if you like it."

Although Pan Jun knew that Liu Jing would most likely not refuse his request, he couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard Liu Jing agree with him: "Zhongda, then I will be disrespectful."

Wang Can sighed again. There is absolutely no reason to write a beautiful article twice in the world, so he could only settle for the next best thing, and said to Pan Jun, "Chengming, you need to lend me a copy of this article."

"It's easy to hear." Pan Jun readily agreed.

The matter finally came to a conclusion, and the two of them immediately turned their attention back to the article. Pan Jun couldn't help asking curiously: "Zhongda, did you imagine this Peach Blossom Spring? Otherwise, I'm a native of Wuling, why have I never heard of it?" Rumors about the Peach Blossom Spring? Also, I don’t know who this Uncle Liu from Changsha is? Could it be the elders of your clan?”

"It's my great-grandfather." Liu Jing then said eloquently: "As for this Peach Blossom Spring, it's not all fantasy. When I was sorting out the library at home, I accidentally found my great-grandfather's notes, which talked about the rumor of Peach Blossom Spring. I based it on this. Created."

"I see." Pan Jun suddenly realized.

Wang Can was well-versed and memorized, and he had the ability of photographic memory, so he said: "Yongyuan is the reign name of Hedi, and it has been a hundred years ago. Those who heard the rumors of Peach Blossom Spring have long since passed away, so it is not surprising that future generations do not know about it. "

Pan Jun guessed in his own mind: "The people in Taohuayuan claim to have lived here in seclusion during the Qin Dynasty. And live in seclusion somewhere in Wuxi."

This is not a strange thing. The bandits in Jingzhou and Shanyue in Yangzhou were mixed with a large number of Han people. They could not stand the exorbitant taxes of the court and the oppression of powerful families, so they fled into the mountains with their families to reclaim wasteland. Lives are very poor, but they can barely support themselves without worrying about food and clothing.

Liu Jing nodded seriously and said, "Brother's guess is not unreasonable."

Wang Can did not get "Peach Blossom Spring", and his regret was beyond words. Liu Jing wanted to make friends with him, so he gave him a book "Ganshi Buyu Fu" by Tao Yuanming.

"In the past, Dong Zhongshu wrote "Shibuyu Fu", and Sima Zichang wrote it again. I read his essays for more than three days, in the spare time of lectures, and felt melancholy.... The husband guides the spirit, is it only the text? Stroke the volume After hesitating, I felt it and gave it: I consulted the big block to receive the spirit, and the lonely soul of the man! The mind is hidden to reflect, and the three to five are famous. Either hit the soil for self-happiness, or help the common people..."

When Wang Can saw this article, he immediately put "Peach Blossom Spring" behind him. The meaning of this article is pure and elegant, and it is also a rare top-grade article.Most importantly, this article is so suitable for his current situation, as if it was tailor-made for him.

Wang Can said that Liu Biao is a gentleman, has the style of an elder, and Jingzhou is peaceful, so he came here with his clan brother Wang Kai.Liu Biaosu heard his name and intended to betroth his daughter to him, but after meeting him, he found that he was ugly, weak in body, and out of character, so he immediately changed his mind and assigned his daughter to Wang Kai, an outstanding clan brother.

Wang Can was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Liu Biao was so superficial in vain as the leader of the scholars. Didn't he know the truth of "judging people by their appearance, and losing their feathers"?

However, this is not the end, it's okay to be frustrated in love, and his career is not going well. Liu Biao obviously has a prejudice against him in his heart, and he treats him like a knife and pen, and doesn't see him reused.

Wang Can prides himself on being a genius in the world, and often feels sad about it secretly, but there is nothing he can do about it. This "Fu of Sensible Scholars Not Encountered" really speaks to his heart.

Why didn't Liu Jing send him other articles, but why did he send him "The Fu of Senshi Buyu"?I believe that Liu Jing's move is by no means aimless, but must express deep sympathy for his experience.

At this moment, Wang Can directly regarded Liu Jing as his confidant, and said with great emotion in his heart: "Zhong Da has a heart, I like this article very much."

As soon as he heard the other party address him directly, Liu Jing immediately knew that his strategy had succeeded, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, Zhongxuan. When I came to Xiangyang to study in the past, I heard Zhongxuan's name many times. I only hated myself at that time. Make friends with Zhongxuan. Today I finally got my wish, and this is my wish."

Pan Jun was stunned. He had known Wang Can for more than a year and still called him "Wang Jun". He did not expect that Liu Jing would call each other Biaozi when he met him for the first time, which was too fast. Bar?
