I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 343 Brother Sima, do you want fame?

The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with stars.

Chengdu has a special climate due to its terrain.

The temperature difference between day and night is not small. When the sun hits your body, even if you are wearing a single coat, you will feel warm all over. A few drops of sweat may break out from your vest. As for the night, a few cold winds will blow in your face, and the back of your hands will feel warm. The soles of my feet were instantly cool, and if my whole body wasn't covered with a few layers of fat, I would probably be shivering.

"My shabby room and poor hospitality make you laugh." Sima Xiangru greeted with a slight restraint. His own tavern was already simple enough, but his residence was even worse.

Apart from a pair of his own calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four bare walls, there are only two basic documents and nothing else.

Every night, the cold wind leaks through the cracks and sweeps in twice, making it especially desolate.

I'm afraid even if a thief comes into his house, he has to sigh and leave a few coins before leaving.

Sima Xiangru felt that it was indeed a bit shabby to entertain "admirers" who came to visit him here.

But the money from his wife cannot be used at will. After all, they are still in the "miserable" stage. To suddenly improve their lives is to say that all their previous hardships have been in vain.

Smiling and waving his hand, Chen Luo said calmly: "Taishan Mountain is not the tallest mountain, but because of the 'Feng Chan' incident, the world knows it; Wushan Mountain is not the most dangerous mountain, but because of the existence of the goddess, countless people yearn for it.

Chang Qing, although this house of yours cannot be called luxurious, why can't it be known to the world like the Yangxia Marquis Mansion because of the talented people living in it? "

His words understood the other party's psychology very well.

I'm not exaggerating, but most literati really do this.

They don't value money and power so much, but care more about reputation and face. When faced with eternal fame and a thousand taels of gold, most ordinary people would choose a thousand taels of gold, while literati want to be famous forever.

Sima Xiangru was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but raise his lips and said: "Brother Boyu is too praised. Xiangru is just an ordinary person. He can write some articles with slightly gorgeous rhetoric, but few people appreciate him."

Although he was very happy to be praised, he didn't know why.

If a stranger shows courtesy for nothing, he must have demands for himself.

What's more, he does have a little money now, and he needs to be wary of fraud.

Chen Luo didn't expect to make the other party completely believe in him with these few words, but as an opening statement, it could be regarded as a success if it could win Sima Xiangru's initial favor.

The two chatted for a while, until Zhuo Wenjun prepared dinner, then they stopped. Chen Luo's conversation made Sima Xiangru secretly frightened.

When he was young, his family situation was considered average, so he had the capital to go to Chang'an to serve as an official. Later, he traveled around the country, making his knowledge ranked among the top among his peers.

But no matter what topic he throws out, the other party can pick it up and spin out a lot of interesting stories. Moreover, his understanding of the customs and customs of various places is something that cannot be expressed without personal experience.

Brother Boyu, it’s so scary!
So after Chen Luo politely praised Zhuo Wenjun's cooking skills, Sima Xiangru said with emotion: "How old is Brother Boyu?"

"Twenty and seven, not yet established." Chen Luo replied lightly, having no choice but to pretend to be young.

After all, my current appearance is indeed based on when I was 27 years old, regardless of my mental age.

Sima Xiangru said in surprise: "I didn't expect that Brother Boyu is one year older than me. He seems to be more mature... and much calmer than me. Especially on the ground, I am impressed."

Originally, I wanted to say that the other person looked "mature", but I was afraid that Chen Luo would mistakenly think that he looked old, so I changed it to calm.

However, Chen Luo's temperament is very rare at this age, and it can only appear after being polished by the world.

Zhuo Wenjun also said curiously at the side, "Brother Boyu's accent doesn't sound like that of a Bashu person. He has come all the way here, so his family must not be simple."

She had observed Chen Luo's behavior in front of the wine bar during the day. He behaved in a grand manner. Although he did not follow the etiquette strictly, from the implicit rules, he was on a completely different level than ordinary ordinary people who drank and made noisy. .

The words he just said actually contained a bit of inquiring meaning. For Sima Xiangru, it would have seemed a bit rude, but Zhuo Wenjun said it playfully, making it difficult for people to feel unhappy.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Chen Luo said vaguely: "My ancestral home is in the Chu region. However, during the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty, my ancestors went to the Jing region to avoid trouble. My eldest father accumulated some family property by doing business. Unexpectedly, 20 Years ago, there was another war disaster, so my father came to Bashu and purchased some land.

I lived in the land of Jingchu when I was a child, so I don’t have a Bashu accent.

However, my father passed away four years ago. In addition to the huge family property, there is only half of the ancestral jade pendant left. "

I simply explained my origin.

These identities of his are completely worthy of scrutiny.

During the years when he was still the Marquis of Yangxia, Chen Luo began to arrange his identity in this life, whether it was household registration or place of origin, all of which were perfectly forged.

What's more, his eldest father is in business, but his father's purchase of land has eliminated the label of "merchant".

Therefore, Chen Luo is rich now and his status is not inferior to others.

As for why he told Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, it was also to prevent interested people from exploring his identity in the future.

People like Sima Xiangru know their origins. When they come out to prove their identity, how can anyone question it again?

"Is that so? The war disaster is indeed abominable. Fortunately, the world has been at peace for twenty years. I heard that only the farthest north will be harassed by bandits, and the rest of the Han Dynasty is very safe." Zhuo Wen You spoke to comfort me.

"It is true that the country of the Han Dynasty is peaceful." Sima Xiangru then shook his head and said, "But the north is indeed unstable. Since the death of King Huan of Dai, the new king cannot suppress the border troops, and the Huns are not afraid of him. I heard Those thieves often send people to inquire, and they only wait for the death of Huaiyin Marquis before preparing to invade south in a large scale."

"Marquis Huaiyin is almost a hundred years old, are the Huns still afraid of him?" Zhuo Wenjun covered his mouth and said with a smile.

Sima Xiangru also smiled, "Isn't that right? In the battle at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu's strongest Shanyu came with his elite troops, but was almost annihilated by the Marquis of Huaiyin. Now the leaders of each of their tribes are... How can the descendants of those same people not be afraid of the existence of Marquis Huaiyin?"

Chen Luo, who was laughing at Cen Cen, added: "That battle back then, well, was still a little short of annihilation. The Huns' cavalry was so fast that it was difficult to catch up with them when they fled, and..."

"No, no, I think Brother Boyu is wrong." Sima Xiangru said unconvinced, "I read "Huaiyin Art of War" in Chang'an. According to the arrangement of the Marquis of Huaiyin, those Huns troops should have been completely wiped out. right."

The common people of the Han Dynasty in this era have strong confidence in the country. Whether in military, economic or political aspects, after more than 70 years of development, the national power of the Han Dynasty has completely overwhelmed its surrounding countries. It is called the "Celestial Kingdom" and "Lighthouse of Civilization" , definitely not derogatory.

Therefore, whoever dares to say in a wine shop that a big man cannot defeat the Xiongnu will definitely find it difficult to walk out of the door standing upright.Even though Sima Xiangru was a scholar, he was no different from ordinary people in this respect, and he also had the purest and simplest emotions.

"Then why did they run away?" Chen Luo asked back. As a participant in that battle, he had to seek truth from facts.

At that time, the Han army was mainly infantry, and the encirclement had not been completely completed. It was normal for the Huns cavalry to run away.

Moreover, Han Xin's initial strategic goal was not to annihilate all the Huns in the Han Dynasty, but to drive them away.

When Sima Xiangru heard this, his face suddenly turned red.

He paused for a long time, then knocked on the table and retorted: "Have you read "The Heroes of the Late Qin Dynasty"? I don't know that Shanyu prayed to Haotian at that time, saying that in exchange for the Xiongnu's 50 years of national destiny, he could escape. , and then a dark wind blew, blowing dust all over the sky.

If not for this, would those Huns thieves be able to escape?
Brother Boyu, I'm not saying, do you understand? Well, you should learn more history. "

Okay, okay, use fictional works of art as arguments, right?

The ones who particularly refute it are the people who experienced it and the creator of the artwork.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Luo shook his head helplessly, but did not continue the topic.

If it were my 20-year-old self, I might really be able to get into a fight with him.

But now Chen Luo has no such idea at all.

After all, Sima Xiangru’s starting point was not bad.

Don’t you want all the Huns who invaded the Han Dynasty to die in Jingxing?

Moreover, Sima Xiangru was a literati and had never been exposed to anything related to military formations, so his cognition was not at the same level.

This is like arguing with a child about whether the sun is closer to the earth in the morning or at noon.

Even if I win the argument, I won't have much sense of accomplishment in my heart.

If Xiao Huo Qubing had such an outrageous idea that the Huns' escape was caused by Shan Yu praying to God, then he would need to correct it to prevent the other party from continuing to retain such wrong ideas.

Zhuo Wenjun thought that the two of them would get angry and wanted to persuade him, but Chen Luo looked calm and calmly changed the topic.

Sima Xiangru himself was the type of person who was overjoyed. Seeing that Chen Luo did not argue, after his anger subsided, he said apologetically: "Brother Boyu, I was rude just now, I hope you don't take it to heart. "

Most literati are like this. Only when they have strong emotions can they write beautiful articles.

After all, people with extremely indifferent temperaments are more suitable for research studies and processing precise and boring data, rather than engaging in creative work to vent their emotions and arouse the resonance of the world.

"No problem." Chen Luo waved his hand and didn't care.

I have been walking around the Han Dynasty in the past few years, and it is impossible to meet everyone who is polite and polite. For the occasional vulgar words, as long as they are not too excessive, he will just smile and pass. If the other party crosses the line a little bit, , then a slight punishment will be imposed.

As for what Sima Xiangru just said, although there is a suspicion of being disrespectful, the other party did not know about it, so it is not offensive.

This magnanimity made Sima Xiangru feel embarrassed. He lowered his head and raised his glass and said, "Brother Jing Boyu is so magnanimous."

His performance just now did seem a bit impatient.

After the two drank together, Sima Xiangru asked curiously: "Brother Boyu came here this time, may I ask why?"

He was actually quite surprised when he learned that someone had recited passages from his "Shanglin Fu".

You must know that the scope of dissemination of "Zixu" and "Shanglin" that I wrote for Xiang Xuan may not be as high as that of "Feng Qiuhuang" written by Zhuo Wenjun.

However, Chen Luo recounted his life experience, and Sima Xiangru guessed that he accidentally heard these two poems while traveling around the Han Dynasty.

But just like when eating eggs, few people will pay attention to the hen that lays the eggs. After reading a wonderful poem, only a few people will pay attention to the author.

Especially when it is discovered that the author of Ci and Fu is a contemporary, he will even look back at Ci and Fu with critical thoughts. The idea of ​​valuing the past over the present has actually always existed.

"Brother Ziqing, do you want fame or not?" After thinking for a moment, Chen Luo asked with a smile.

Although there was no concept of "fans" in ancient times, admirers of literati were also quite fanatical.

For example, Wang Lun and Wei Wan are very typical. One of them spent a lot of money to invite Li Bai to write poems, and the other followed Li Bai and traveled all over the country.

Of course, if you spend a lot of money to follow the poetry fairy, you really have the opportunity to be included in textbooks, pour milk for traffic stars, and be included in only news and newspapers.

However, although Shixian and Mingxing are very different in status and ability, they do have one thing in common, that is, they both have a lot of fame.

"Write lyrics!""Chang Qing Jun" is a very interesting and creative work.

The author combines historical figures from the Han Dynasty with modern pop culture to create a story full of surprises and laughter.

It tells the story of Sima Xiangru, the top writer of the Han Dynasty, who traveled to modern times and used his literary talent to help Luo Wenyun grow from an unknown singer to a dazzling new star in the music world.

Sima Xiangru himself has become a famous contemporary lyricist, and with his connotative lyrics, he finally won the 137th China Literature Award.

However, in this novel, what attracts readers the most is the daily plot, such as Sima Xiangru’s confusion when he first came into contact with modern electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers, and the two of them going out to eat after the success of Luo Wenyun’s first album. Celebrating hot pot, Sima Xiangru was surprised when Luo Wenyun told him that this was a Sichuan specialty...

In short, although the words in this work are occasionally frivolous, it imagines what life would be like for ancient people in modern times and the descriptions are vivid. Overall, it is an excellent work worth reading. ——"Online Literature Review"
