The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 26 "Embracing the Name" under the pavilion, first becoming famous!
After walking for about half a stick of incense, Xiao Qinzhi followed Diao Kui to a courtyard named "Yilan" on the mountainside. They said that the courtyard was a super luxurious villa, at least [-] square meters.

Especially the "small lake" that is more than ten feet long carved out on the mountainside, surrounded by orchids, pruning bamboo, lush and green, walking around the lake, bypassing a rockery, and suddenly standing in the "small lake" There is a pavilion named "Baoming".

The pavilion is covered with plain gauze, and you can vaguely see a few people lying crookedly inside. They are all undressed and gowned, with bare breasts and breasts, with loose shoulders, surrounded by several enchanting maids, supplemented by orchestral music. .

In the "Baoming" pavilion, the wine was full, and suddenly heard Diao Kui begging to see him, and there was a lazy drunken voice, asking: "What's the matter?"

Diao Kui said: "Uncle, Xie Taishou, Yan Zhongzheng, all senior uncles, Xiao Shi of Lanling, Shibo Xiao has arrived."

"Oh-"

A dissolute old man walked out of the "Holding Name" pavilion, removed his outer robe, and wore a funny "sling top", with his shoulders exposed, and shouted repeatedly: "Yuqing, come quickly, I'm waiting for you!"

"Uncle Zhi, I haven't seen you in a year, don't come here without any problems." The patriarch stepped forward with a smile.

The head of the patriarch, Xiao Qing, courtesy name Yuqing, was friends with Diao Kui's uncle Diao Lun when he was young. At that time, the Diao family was not as distinguished as it is today, and the Lanling Xiao family was still among the noble families at that time, so the two met. , but can still treat each other as equals.

The people in the pavilion, the patriarchs all know each other, everyone sees each other once a year, they have known each other for a long time, and nodded in salute, only Taishou Xie faced him, and Diao Lun specially recommended:
"Yuqing, let me introduce you. This is Governor Xie. When we were young, we went to Kuaiji together. We met each other."

The patriarch stepped forward to salute and said: "Xiao Qing, Lanling Xiao family, I have met the wine master."

"Hahaha!!" Xie Yi laughed loudly and said, "Why bother to meet outsiders, Yuqing, come and have a drink together."

Then he said to Diao Lun: "Uncle Zhi, why bother you to introduce me? Yuqing and I have known each other for a long time. When I was in Jinling for the first time, I went to Jinniu Mountain to find Taoist Qianbing. It was Yuqing who entertained me. Otherwise, you think 'Jiufuzi' Where did it come from?"

Diao Lun caressed his forehead and said with a slight smile: "I forgot, Jinling County is close to Wujin, I think you have known each other for a long time."

Standing by the lake, Xiao Qinzhi was stunned by the patriarch's social overpowering. With a few words, he shortened the distance. You know, that is Xie Yi from the Xie family in Chenjun, and his brother is Xie An. !

Diao Kui brought the patriarch to the place, whispered a few words to Diao Lun, and then thought of taking Xiao Qinzhi to another place to write poems, unexpectedly, Diao Lun immediately said:

"Why go elsewhere, isn't it a blessing to be famous under the pavilion of 'holding your name'?" No doubt, he immediately sent someone to find pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and said to Diao Kui, "Why don't you invite your younger brother to meet?"

When the aristocratic family acts, every move has a deep meaning, don't think that Diao's actions are based on the feelings of old friends, then it is a big mistake.

Firstly, tomorrow's Bei Ya Ji is scheduled to promote the children of the three noble families. The Xiao family is a poor family, even if it becomes famous, it is impossible to overwhelm the guests.

Second, Diao said that this move is to show favor to the cold families of the North who are dependent on the gentry. The formation of a top family not only requires the prosperity of the internal talents of the family, but also the external dependent forces are also very important.

Third, the Alliance of Five Surnames in the Northland, headed by Diao, forms a pyramid, which is more like a platform for talent delivery. All those who use this platform to display their ambitions must be good, and Diao benefits the most.

What's more, even if the poems he writes are not good and make a fool of himself, it's Xiao's embarrassment, so what's the matter with Diao?
This serves multiple purposes, this seemingly unrestrained Diao theory is actually an individual spirit, no wonder it has such a status in the Diao family.

Xiao Qinzhi walked slowly towards the "Holding Names" pavilion, saluting one by one, the poem in his heart had been carefully considered, he was full of confidence, he did not act arrogantly or impetuously, and with the blessing of his handsome appearance, he made a very good first impression .

Everyone outside the pavilion, especially those from poor families, had extremely red eyes. Faced with such an opportunity to show up, they wished they could replace Xiao Qin and show off their talents.

Among them, there are some children from poor families who are more calm, because Xiao Qinzhi represents the poor family, if he does not perform well, the whole poor family will lose points. You must know that compared with the children of the noble family, the children of the poor family have always worked harder and are always known for their talents.

Someone whispered: "Xianming, do you think he can make it?"

"I don't know, but looking at his words and deeds, he doesn't seem to be a reckless person."

"'Jiang Zuo Wei Jie', I haven't heard of it before, so don't make false appearances and implicate us."

"My people, why are you so worried? Whether he is famous or not has nothing to do with us. Just wait and see, are there any elders among us sitting in the pavilion?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The words of the immortal's name are not unreasonable. Although he is the same as us, our family background is far behind him."

The servants have already brought pens, inks, papers and inkstones, Xuancheng paper, Wuxing brushes, Xin'an inks, none of which are of ordinary quality, and put them on the low case in the pavilion. Xiao Qinzhi took off his shoes and socks, knelt down in front of the case, and carried out start writing.

The standard Yan Kai started to write, landed on the snow-white paper, and carved the majestic first sentence:
"Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to [-] miles."

This sentence is taken from "Zhuangzi" Xiaoyaoyao. Diao Kui watched from the sidelines. Every time Xiao Qinzhi wrote a word, Diao Kui reported a word, but the volume became louder and louder. When the first sentence was finished, Tingzi Several people couldn't wait to gather around.

But at this moment, no one said a word, and they all looked at the poems on the paper with bright eyes. There is no doubt that they were overwhelmed by the momentum of the first poem.

And all the people outside the pavilion stopped in unison, shocked, and focused their eyes on the young man under the "Holding Name" pavilion.

When it comes to the grandeur of his poems, Li Taibai is the number one in ancient and modern times.

"Hanging to the sky to block out the sun and soaring to the clouds, I want to compete with the Lord of Heaven."

The second sentence is taken from a great man, and the intention is profound, and the momentum has not diminished in the slightest.And on the basis of the first sentence, it expresses one's ambition by sending things, and draws people's eyes from the illusory roc to reality, reflecting the young people's lofty aspirations, high spirits, and bold courage to compare with the gods.

The first half of this poem, no matter how it is written, the imposing manner alone is the best in this era when poetry was just emerging. A monstrous kindness.

Xiao Qinzhi dipped his pen and ink, and continued to write: "Thousands of sages and sages are still remembered today, and they have been ill for more than a hundred years."

This sentence is taken from Du Fu, who continued to sublimate his ideas, spanning the long river of time, and came to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. A hundred schools of thought contended, sages emerged in large numbers, and cultures gathered. How prosperous it is.

However, the latter sentence quickly brought people back to the current bleak era. The north was lost, the barbarians did evil, the Yongjia rebellion, and the clothes went to the south. The Chinese nation fell ill in these 100 years, and no sages came out.

"Since you should bravely catch up with the previous ones, and head towards Hanguan Napan West."

The last sentence, taken from "Lao Tzu", is a summary of the previous sentence and an echo of the first two sentences, which is a perfect closing.

In order to encourage the younger generations, they should have lofty aspirations like a big roc, have the courage to compete with the gods, follow the footsteps of the sages and saints of the past, overcome Jiqiu, and make efforts for the sick Chinese nation.

In fact, the whole article is a metaphor: "Northern Expedition!"

After the main poem was finished, Xiao Qinzhi wrote the inscription in the narration: "In late February of the first year of Shengping, I was invited by Brother Diao to write it the night before the Bei Ya Ji, in Xiao Qin's words."

After a breath of calm, fiery shouts erupted from the pavilion.

"Good!" Diao Lun shouted.

"Great kindness!" Xie Yi couldn't wait to hold the poem, recited it loudly, and showed great interest in the "face style" on the paper, good words, good poems, he wanted to keep them in his bag.

But the people here are not fools, Yan Mao stopped immediately, and laughed loudly: "Xie Taishou, what's the matter? Quickly take it out, I haven't rewarded enough yet."

Diao Xie panicked and said in a hurry: "No hurry, no hurry, the title of the poem hasn't been written yet!"

Diao Kui leaned into Xiao Qinzhi's ear and whispered something, Xiao Qinzhi nodded in understanding, continued to hold the pen, and wrote "Bei Ya Ji Inscription", which was used as the title of the poem to raise the reputation of Bei Ya Ji.

Several people in the pavilion were holding "Bei Ya Ji Ji Ji" and appreciating it carefully, their eyes couldn't hide the enthusiasm, and they rewarded it generously with words like "Miao Zai".

Xie Yi said: "It's really a good word, it's already a new one, and it has everyone's demeanor."

Yan Zhongzheng said: "Poetry is even better. It is the most powerful poem in the world. It has a high level of intention. Good poems. Good poems. They are really good."

Xie Yi said: "The writing is better, the regular script is the same, the new idea has come out, the shape has been established, given time, it will be great, and it will not lose to Wang Youjun's regular script."

Yan Zhongzheng said: "Poetry is for the world, and words are for entertaining one person. How can it be compared?"

The two argued endlessly, one insisted on "good calligraphy" and the other insisted on "good poetry", neither of them would give way to the other, but Xiao Qinzhi, the instigator, was left out in the cold.

But Xiao Qinzhi knelt down in front of the desk very calmly, tidying up the pen and ink on the table, still neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm, the patriarch picked up the wine glass, looked at the much-anticipated nephew, and drank it in one gulp. He didn't say a word, but the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

When Xiao Qinzhi stood up, exited the "Holding Names" pavilion, and faced the crowd by the lake, he suddenly heard them salute in unison:
"Brother Xiao Shi (brother) made a masterpiece, congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Brother (brother), let's move on."

Xiao Qinzhi respectfully returned a group salute, still calm.

Under the "Holding Name" pavilion, it has become famous for the first time!
