Country color

Chapter 30
The severe winter has come, and the sky is covered with layers of snow.

Li Chongjiu was stationed at the head of the Yellow River in Ma. The water was surging, the turbid waves were empty, and the snow was all dyed.

In ancient times, the rivers were the Yangtze River, the river refers to the Yellow River, and the other rivers were Chuan, and the water was named.

Seeing the magnificence of the Yellow River thousands of years ago, I can't help feeling ups and downs. No wonder Li Taibai described this magnificent scene with the water of the Yellow River coming down from the sky.

However, although the Yellow River is magnificent, it has repeatedly flooded. At the end of summer and autumn, the Yellow River flooded more than [-] counties downstream, and the land of Shandong is the country of Ze.

In order to conquer Goryeo, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty recruited a large number of civilian husbands in Shandong, which made the people's livelihood even more difficult.

Wang Bo, Sun Anzu, Gao Tuda, Zhang Jincheng, Dou Jiande, Zhai Rang and other dog butchers, horse dealers, and subordinate officials roared up the hills and rebelled.

Thinking of this, Li Chongjiu couldn't help thinking of Wang Ruxin and Wu Heita who were trapped in Hanoi County a few days ago, couldn't help laughing a few times, and immediately rode their horses across the river.

All the way across the Heyang pontoon bridge, and then through the three cities of Heyang, and then go forward to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, the center of the world.

It is approaching, the end of Li Chongjiu's trip, although Li Chongjiu wants to see the elegance of the thousand-year-old imperial capital, but he has no publicity, if he is caught by the government, he will only be imprisoned and exiled.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu turned his horse's head and drove eastward.

The Yellow River is running on the side, looking north at Mang Mountain, the pines are covered with snow.

The east of Luoyang is full of Jialan, Baima ancient temple, surrounded by Luoshui. Although it is in the heavy snow, the monks are faithful and faithful.

According to the Record of Luoyang Jialan recorded by the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, when Buddhism was at its peak, there were more than a thousand temples inside and outside Luoyang.

Along the way, Li Chongjiu saw towering palaces and pavilions, dense burning smoke, towering pagodas, loud bells, and Sanskrit and Buddhist music. It was a scene of Buddhism flourishing again after the Northern Wei Dynasty.

When Li Chongjiu moved forward again, he found that he couldn't go through. It turned out that the front was covered by flags and buildings, and the treasure cover was raised horizontally. Numerous monks held Buddha statues in their hands, chanted Sanskrit, and walked out from the direction of Baima Temple.

At this time, on the broad street, countless believers knelt down beside the road, chanted the Buddha's name, and bowed devoutly.

This grand ceremony immediately blocked the road to the brim, making Li Chongjiu unable to advance or retreat for a while.

Li Chongjiu saw a restaurant beside him, so he tied up his horses immediately, and saw a rather exquisite ox cart under the weeping willows beside him.

After Li Chongjiu went straight into the restaurant, he found that there were meals on the tables in the restaurant, but there were only a few people present.

Li Chongjiu thought it must be that all the diners went to the roadside to kneel down and pay respects.

Li Chongjiu called the buddy, asked him to serve pancakes and noodle soup, and sat down immediately.On the opposite side, there is also a person who is still sitting still, but is drinking here.

The place where this person is is separated by a screen, and his face cannot be seen clearly.

Immediately after the waiter came up to eat, Li Chongjiu was about to eat when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes outside the door.

Although the monks are leaving at this moment, there are still many believers and pilgrims on the road who have not left. It is very crowded, and there are people riding horses in this lively place.

Li Chongjiu's first reaction was to hold the knife secretly, thinking that he had leaked his whereabouts.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes stopped outside the restaurant. Li Chongjiu turned around and saw that it was a group of well-dressed young men riding horses on the road.

These seven or eight people consisted of men and women, and the men all had a tough look on their faces, showing off their riding skills, and stopped suddenly, causing passers-by to give way one after another.However, women don't use veils to cover their faces or cloaks to cover their bodies. Instead, they sit on the horses openly, showing the curves of their bodies.

When Li Chongjiu saw it, he knew in his heart that the Eastern Capital was located, and there were many descendants of aristocratic families like Yin Kaishan. They were usually better in the city, but when they left the city, they showed their dandyism.

But this group of people has nothing to do with him, so Li Chongjiu doesn't care.

At that moment, the group of people entered the restaurant with a thump, and after looking around, the leader led the crowd towards him.

When Li Chongjiu saw this group of people coming to the screen in front of him, the person smiled and said, "Brother Fazhu, let me find you easy!"

Li Chongjiu was drinking noodle soup, and when he heard the word Fazhu, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, thinking that this is too much of a coincidence, to actually meet someone here, whom he has always wanted to see.

The person behind the screen said plainly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Hearing that the other party's surname was Dugu, Li Chongjiu thought that the word Dugu was extremely noble in the Sui Dynasty, and this Li Fazhu was most likely the person he was looking for.

That Dugu Sanlang laughed and said: "Of course I got drunk with Brother Fazhu. I will introduce these people to you. They are all my friends and I have admired Brother Fazhu's name for a long time."

Just as he was about to speak, Dugu Sanlang frowned suddenly, and said: "How can such a gathering party be disturbed by this farmer who is sitting here, and the marketer?"

"This store has been reserved for me, everyone will go out for me, and the food and drink will be counted on me!"

After the other party drank, the waiter hadn't opened his mouth yet, and there was an uproar in the shop.

Several big men were about to get up to argue, but they were immediately stopped by the people beside them.

This Dugu Sanlang laughed loudly, and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, are you waiting to eat my Dugu Sanlang's whip?"

When everyone in the store heard that this person was named Dugu, they didn't dare to sit any longer, so they immediately left their seats and walked outside the store.

The children of the aristocratic family standing behind Dugu Sanlang all laughed.Dugu Sanlang shook his whip and said, "Okay, Brother Master Fa, let's have a drink here today... huh? Why are you still here poor? Didn't you listen to me?"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have heard of it, he ate the pancake with noodle soup with great relish.

This feeling of neglect immediately made Dugu Saburo furious.

"San Lang can't do anything, don't you want to be grounded by the adults in your family?" The people on the side stepped forward to persuade.

At this time, a member of the family stood up, took out a rather delicate money bag, threw it in front of this person's table, and shouted: "Take it, get out!"

The other party still ignored it.

"Hey!" The children of the aristocratic family were very happy this time.

When Dugu Xin was about to make a move, the man behind the screen also stood up and said, "My brother Dugu, don't be negligent."

What Li Chongjiu had been waiting for was for this person to appear behind the screen. When he raised his head, he saw the person with three strands of long beard and a feather fan scarf. He was very personable.

At that moment, this person raised the black and white feather fan in his hand, bowed and said: "My Fazhu Li, what should I call you?"

Li Chongjiu stood up, bowed to him and said, "I'm just a commoner, so don't bother to ask."

Every time Li Chongjiu said this, everyone present laughed.Dugu Sanlang smiled and said: "A commoner, dare to sit here, look at you, a farmer, you can't even speak official language, it's your first time in Dongdu, don't you even know the status in the countryside?"

"I tell you, if I don't kneel down and beg for mercy today, I will kill you."

A woman on the side smiled and said: "Dugu Sanlang, forget it, don't scare others."

Li Chongjiu glanced sideways at the other party and sneered slightly.

At this time, Li Fazhu advised: "I have just arrived in Dongdu, and I don't know the customs of this place. Why don't I apologize to this Dugu brother for a little bit of face, and let this matter go for now? Dugu brother, what do you think?" ?”

That Dugu Sanlang said: "Since Brother Fazhu opened his mouth, it will be easier for this farmer!"

Li Fazhu immediately poured a glass of wine and served it in front of Li Chongjiu himself.

The consoling woman on the side also had a good impression of Li Chongjiu's neither arrogant nor humble demeanor, and said sweetly: "You just drink this wine, and we will sit down and talk later."

Dugu Sanlang said angrily: "Who wants to sit with this farmer?"

Seeing the wine Li Fazhu brought to him, Li Chongjiu immediately pushed it away, saying: "I took it with good intentions, I am not good at drinking it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, Li Mi and the woman thought, this man is so ignorant, how could Dugu Sanlang give up, he might lose his life.

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, and said in a long voice: "It's not about cherishing the body before the bottle,"

Hearing this sentence, Dugu Sanlang smiled instead of anger, and said: "This farmer can actually recite poems, okay!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and they didn't think Li Chongjiu, a commoner, could say any famous words.

"It's not that Zunqian cherishes the body, pretending to be crazy will inevitably become true."

Hearing the second sentence, Li Fazhu couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he called out a good word.

He has always been a man with big ambitions. He became famous at a young age because he was appreciated by Yang Su, the prince of the dynasty.Of course, this feigned madness will inevitably come true, which is exactly what he wanted.

Hearing Li Mi's praise, Dugu Sanlang couldn't hold back his face, and said with a dry smile: "Where is the hearsay, Tian Shehan can also compose poems for the broken sentences, isn't it ridiculous?"

Everyone also heard that Li Chongjiu's above two sentences are quite extraordinary, but they are not surprising, they can only say that the words are acceptable, but a commoner who can recite poems should not be underestimated.

"It's not that Zunqian cherishes his body, pretending to be crazy will inevitably come true." Li Chongjiu chanted again, but seeing that he stopped here, he didn't continue.

At that moment, Dugu Sanlang thought that Li Chongjiu was really poor, and said with a smile: "I'm right, it must have been copied from somewhere. Haha."

Li Chongjiu smiled slightly, glanced at Dugu Sanlang, and said in a breath: "It's not that you cherish your body in front of the bottle, and pretending to be crazy will inevitably come true. I used to whip famous horses because of drunkenness, and I was afraid that love would tire the beauty!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman from the aristocratic family who persuaded Li Chongjiu couldn't help but groaned, and shook her body slightly. When she came to her senses, when she saw everyone looking at her, she bit her red lips lightly and looked at Li Chongjiu's face. There is a bit of confusion in the eyes.

After seeing the scene, everyone knew that this woman was already in love with Ke Ke. Some of the men present secretly liked this woman and started pursuing and attacking her, but they were unable to win her heart.But seeing that Li Chongjiu's words moved, he couldn't help but taste it.

I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear that the love would tire the beauty!Why, why can't I make such a good poem.

But now no one suspects that Li Chongjiu plagiarized. After all, this poem is absolutely impossible to plagiarize.

Everyone looked at Li Chongjiu now, with different expressions.

The woman withdrew and left immediately, saying: "I'm not feeling well, please leave first. It's enough to get this poem in this life."

But Li Fazhu bowed deeply to Li Chongjiu again, and said: "Brother is a great talent, I deeply admire him, um, please forgive me for asking again, brother is not really a commoner, right?"
