The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 229 Li Gefei is the son-in-law
Li Qingzhao frowned as he looked at Ergou's font that was worse than a dog crawling, but he was already laughing in his heart, thinking: "You, the Chen family, are not good at anything!"

Don't forget that Li Qingzhao is extremely talented, but his competitive spirit is no less than his talent.

In recent days, the existence of Ergou has caused a lot of mental pressure on her.

I think that since Ergou got acquainted with Mrs. Li, he had discovered through the Zhao family's plan and fought fiercely with the Yang family warriors, and later he had "copied" two words in a poem, which directly created a great reputation for innocence for the Li family's husband.

In Li Qingzhao's view, Ergou was unique in his character, strategy, literary talent and martial arts.

And according to what Aunt Pang said, such two dogs have only been enlightened for a year. Their talents cannot be said to be unprecedented, but they are rare in ancient and modern times.

When Li Qingzhao met such a "monstrous person", it was like a real academic master meeting a divine academic master. They said they cherished each other, but in fact they were just trying to catch up with each other.

Fortunately, Li Qingzhao is a woman, and the hidden conflict between the two is not so sharp, otherwise it would be impossible for two tigers to be accommodated in one mountain.

If this situation continues, it will not be a good thing for Li Qingzhao, which will greatly dampen her natural talent.

Of course, this does not mean that Li Qingzhao's talent will be lost, but without the support of this spirit, she is still young and will most likely never achieve the highest literary achievements she can achieve in history.

Fortunately, there are always talents. Ergou exposed his shortcomings, but for the first time Li Qingzhao felt the joy of being better than the strong.

Li Xiaoniang immediately took the fine pen from Er Gou's hand and rewrote Er Gou's "poem copy" on another blank piece of snow-paper paper. She watched the flowing lines of hairpin-flowered regular script come from Li Xiao's hand. The lady's writing is natural, and looking at her own bad words that are worse than shit, Ergou is really in awe of her.

Li Qingzhao finished writing the poem, but in the blank space at the beginning he wrote the words "Ode to Xue Tao as a gift to Lady Li". Then he put down his fine brush and dried the ink on the snow paper, and then he laughed with Ergou: "The ancients said that calligraphers draw from their hearts. My brother's calligraphy is really bad. If I don't make any progress, I might be laughed at by others."

Ergou said with a troubled look: "What the little lady said is true. I studied with Master Pang last time. I only learned calligraphy for three months before Master Pang left on her own. After that, there was no famous teacher to teach me, and I couldn't learn the method by myself. In addition, all the Things are complicated, but it’s difficult to make progress.”

Li Qingzhao raised his slender eyebrows, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Brother, if you don't mind, I can give you some advice."

What Li Qingzhao said was really bold. If it were a normal scholar at this time, he would probably feel insulted. How could a decent man learn calligraphy from a female streamer?

But this matter is different for Ergou. He has never despised the idea of ​​​​women. More Qingzhao young lady has evil thoughts, and he is eager to do such an elegant thing with red sleeves adding fragrance.

Therefore, Ergou clasped his fists and said: "How dare I say the word 'dislike'? If I can get the little lady's advice, it will be a blessing for my brother."

Li Qingzhao looked at Ergou in surprise, then picked up the paper, pen, ink and inkstone, and then said: "Just follow me!"

Just like that, Ergou followed Li Qingzhao to her boudoir embroidery building.

The two of them seemed to be hooking up like this, but it made one person angry, and it was the little Li Hao.

The boy shouted angrily: "You two are going too far to bully others by crossing the river and destroying the bridge!"

Ergou just turned around and said with a smile: "Little brother of the Li family, don't worry, I will definitely repay you in two days!"

Then he chased Li Qingzhao without looking back, just like a little wolfdog doing something.

Li Hao had been teased by his sister for a long time. He really didn't want the two dogs to deal with it, but he said angrily: "Two annoying bitches can't make you two happy! By the way! I'll tell dad. Mom, let them deal with you!"

Thinking of this, Li Hao ignored his anger and rushed towards the front yard as if flying, intending to complain to Li Gefei and his wife.

On this day, Li Gefei was taking a rest, but he and two friends were chatting, drinking tea, and exchanging articles in the hall.

The two friends were not from other families. One was Chao Buzhi, who had met Ergou that day, and the other was a slightly younger man, but he had the same name as Li Gefei. His surname was Dong Minggeng, and his courtesy name was Wu Zi. He was one of the four scholars of the Later Su clan. one.

Dong Wuzi is a native of Dongping (from Chao Buzhi's "Yonggantang Ji"). In another timeline, in the past two years, he would return to his hometown to serve due to the illness of his relatives. At the end of the period, he was hit by the "Yuanyou Party Membership Monument" incident and disappeared from the world, leaving only the name of "Four Scholars of the Later Su Sect" and half of the remaining sentences recorded in "Tiaoxi Yuyincong Dialect".

In the past, in the west of Xunfang Secret Palace, the sun pressed down on the gold shop, and the palace willows drooped. ——Dong Wuzi
The relationship between most of the Sumen children is excellent. Their friendship is not related to political interests, but to romantic literary friends. However, the party struggle between the DPRK and China forces them to stick together for warmth.

Li Gefei suddenly received a promotion and a salary increase, but his classmates and friends remained the same, and Li Gefei never showed any signs of pretentiousness.

Chao Buzhi, who was only a friend in public, knew the origin of Li Gefei's fate, but occasionally joked: "Brother Wen is fishing for talented people with a young lady, and he is prosperous with a poem. Why not recruit that young brother as his son-in-law? In order to avoid it?" Good talents and beautiful jade flow into other homes!”

Dong Wuzi didn't know what was going on, but he asked excitedly: "Brother Wu Jiu, why did you say this?"

Chao Buzhi said with a smile: "Everyone knows that Uncle Wen was favored by the Holy Spirit because of his poem [Mo Mei], but they don't know how this poet got into the Li family!"

Li Gefei heard this, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Chao Wujiu, be careful what you say! How can my A Bao's innocent reputation be damaged by you, an elder?!"

Before Li Gefei finished speaking, a child rushed into the hall, gasping and shouting: "Dad! My sister secretly met her lover in the back garden, but she bullied me!"

The three people in the hall were stunned when they heard this, especially Li Gefei, who was really angry this time and shouted angrily: "Ignorant bastard! You are talking nonsense!"

The kid who rushed in was none other than Li Hao. Li Gefei was frightened by the meal, but he immediately became a little scared. He didn't dare to add insult to injury, so he only let the two dogs climb over the wall and wrote a poem to lure Li Qingzhao here.

Li Gefei was very angry when he heard this. It was really unreasonable that this little wolfdog came to steal food in his backyard.

Chao Buzhi's focus was not here. He asked with great interest: "Dou Chong'er, do you still remember the poem written by that fellow?"

Li Hao was also a genius on the trumpet. Although he was not as famous as his elder sister, he could still recite the poems he had read. He immediately recited the poems "copied" by Ergou to the three of them. .

Dong Wuzi was also clever. He took a piece of paper nearby and wrote it down. After reciting it to himself several times, he sighed and said: "This friend who wrote the poem is really very ambitious, and I can't compare with him!"

But Chao Buzhi laughed and said, "Hahaha! Brother Wen, it's just as I expected, but you, my son-in-law, have been accepted!"

While Li Gefei said something like "Unfortunately for my family!", he also smiled crookedly.

Do you know why?

In fact, Li Gefei was very aware of his daughter's astonishing talent. As the saying goes, great talent is unfortunate, especially when it comes to his daughter's family. Which talented daughter in the past generations could have a happy death? Li Gefei understood this very clearly.He has always been worried about his daughter's future. Historically, Li Qingzhao and Zhao Mingcheng saw each other in the right eye. Li Gefei and Zhao Mingcheng's father, Zhao Tingzhi, were political enemies in the court, but they also sadly agreed to it, so that they lost their political stance. Out of love for Li Qingzhao.

Historically, Li Gefei definitely looked down on Zhao Mingcheng. He knew very well that a young man like Zhao Mingcheng could not bring happiness to a talented girl like Li Qingzhao, and Li Qingzhao's subsequent life trajectory also proved this.

(It is said that the marriage between Li and Zhao was successful only after the great calligrapher who had just succeeded to the throne personally came forward to make peace.)
In Li Gefei's view at this time, there was no need to question Ergou's talent, but the poem he "copied" further clarified his views on Li Qingzhao's talent.

My little lady, I don’t need you to do those common things that ordinary women can do, such as caring for husbands and raising children, folding beds, doing embroidery, and keeping parents in check.You just need to be as beautiful as a flower and use your talents to your heart's content.

Regardless of whether Ergou's intention in "composing" this poem is true or false, it was really written into Li Gefei's heart.

OMG!This precious daughter of mine has a perfect match!

What?

You said Ergou had a bad background?
joke!In the Great Song Dynasty, as long as you are really talented, you can get ahead even if you are a mud-legged person. This is not just some people's imagination, but the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty used the imperial examination as a banner and spent more than 100 years to carry out the actual practice. The result of the argument.

During the more than 100 years of the Northern Song Dynasty, what was most indispensable were those inspirational examples of those who came from humble backgrounds but were able to stand out through imperial examinations.

Typical examples include Lu Mengzheng (who rose to prime minister) and Du Yan (who rose to prime minister), etc., all of whom came from poor families. There are even more insignificant examples.

To put it bluntly, in the more than 1000 years since the birth of the imperial examination in the Sui Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the more than 100 years in the Northern Song Dynasty were relatively the fairest and most just period in the entire imperial examination era. Like those in later generations who selected candidates for favoritism and malpractice. The situation is almost rare (of course, the situation after the calligrapher succeeds to the throne is another matter).

And this is also the charm of the Northern Song Dynasty. The Wenhua Song Dynasty is by no means ordinary.

This is also what I appreciate most about this period of history in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Of course, as much as we love him, we also hate the great calligrapher and the subsequent bastards who corrupted the Song Dynasty!

Let me tell you something that made the imperial examination officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties laugh. Wang Anshi carried out reforms. In order to select his confidants, he directly changed the official textbooks, and then set questions to let everyone compete fairly. As a result, a group of people wearing robes were selected. Sheep in wolf skin.

Those later generations of chief ministers and ministers couldn't help but sneer: "Silly bird! Do you understand the default decision?! Is it a joke to miss the question?! Are there any differences between regions?!"

In short, for a "talented" person like Ergou, Li Gefei would never care about his origins.

But!He doesn't care about his background, but Ergou sneaks into his daughter's boudoir, which is a bit of a challenge to Mr. Li's bottom line.

After hearing his son's story, Old Man Li was stunned for a moment, but he immediately got up and rushed to the back garden. Behind him, Chao Buzhi and Dong Wuzi followed happily, looking serious. Looks like a good show.

Li Gefei walked halfway and turned around to see his two friends looking lazy, but he thought about it a few times and immediately changed his mind.

But he went to his home, saw his wife Wang, and told her the situation.

However, Mrs. Wang knew some of the details about Ergou. When her husband said this, she was shocked and thought to herself: "Why is this Chen family's little bastard running around without fear of being taken away? !”

Li Gefei said anxiously: "Madam, go and watch in A Bao's boudoir. Don't let them do something unspeakable!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Okay! Sir, don't worry, I'll go right away! Do you want to drive that guy away?!"

Li Gefei looked at his two friends who were refusing to leave, but said, "No! Let him stay here. I want to see him during dinner!"

Wang felt strange in her heart. She knew that there was some confusion between that guy and Cao Xiangu from Xiangu Nunnery, but Wang didn't say it out loud. She only asked, "Did your husband like that boy?"

Li Gefei sighed: "A Bao is so talented that he may not be blessed. Let's see if that boy and A Bao are destined. If there is some good fortune, there is no harm in helping them."

Wang made a sideways comment and said, "I'm afraid that guy is not a good match for Abao."

Li Gefei only said that his wife disliked Ergou's humble background, but said: "Being humble is not a shame. That boy is talented. As long as he is willing to make progress, nothing will be a problem."

Wang didn't say much, but took two maids and rushed to Li Qingzhao's boudoir like a gust of wind.

But it was said that these two dogs followed Miss Li into the boudoir, only to find that it was not filled with silk flowers and silk flowers like the embroidery pavilion in a normal daughter's house. It was filled with various books and classics, calligraphy and painting scrolls, chessboards, the four treasures of the study, and even a The table is similar to the military chess of later generations, but it is called Shuanglu.

After the two of them entered, Li Qingzhao realized how messy her boudoir was. She immediately blushed and said a little shyly: "Brother, don't be offended. My maid caught a cold yesterday, but she didn't come to clean up the room. Make my brother laugh!"

If Ling Xiang heard what Li Qingzhao said, he would definitely scream that he was wronged.

As Li Qingzhao's maid, Lingxiang could take care of everything else. Only the books, calligraphy and paintings that Li Qingzhao had placed casually could not be touched easily.

Ergou wouldn't be surprised, he just thought that this is what Li Qingzhao's boudoir should look like.

But he held up his palms and smiled and said: "This is the boudoir of a talented woman! When I enter this place, it feels like a boudoir filled with the fragrance of books!"

Li Qingzhao was happy to hear this, but he pointed out the rare books he had collected to Ergou one by one.

In fact, Ergou had never heard of these so-called unique copies in later generations, and presumably they were scattered and lost during the subsequent wars.

After looking at Mrs. Li's collection, the two began formal calligraphy teaching.

To be honest, Ergou didn't have any foundation in calligraphy. When Pang Shiniang taught him, she just wanted him to write correct words, and she didn't really ask for a high level of calligraphy.

Therefore, Li Qingzhao asked Ergou some calligraphy questions, only to find that this guy really didn't have anything at all.This situation made Li Qingzhao angry.

Of course, Li Qingzhao was not angry with Ergou. She was angry that the so-called Master Pang had misled his disciples and did not teach a "genius" like Ergou some calligraphy skills, which had delayed him.
