Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 34 Goodbye Shangguanyi

The older generation of Chinese people seem to have the habit of rushing to everything early.The morning market in Luoyang is also very lively.Xu Qing also came to the lively place early to inquire about Shangguanyi:
"Master, do you know Shangguanyi?"

"Boy, official clothes? You can't wear them indiscriminately!"

"Ma'am, let me ask you something, do you recognize Shangguanyi?"

"Shangguan? The county magistrate's surname is Wu... I haven't seen it before..."

"Child, come here, have you ever heard of a person named Shangguanyi?"

"No... haven't seen..."

Xu Qing shuttled around the morning market and asked Shang Guanyi when he caught anyone. He didn't expect that Shang Guanyi had such a low reputation.After letting go of the child, Xu Qing was completely confused watching the people coming and going, looking for a needle in a haystack.

"General, I have a solution..." said a simple and honest soldier, this soldier was Xu Qing's guard, and he called the cow to eat grass.

"The cow eats grass, don't show your eyes, what can you do..." another guard said.

"Huh, I really have..." Niu Checao curled his lips and continued to say to Xu Qing: "General, you said that Shangguan is a talented scholar, why don't you go to the brothel and ask?"

"The brothel?" Xu Qing slapped his head, yes, it seems that he became stupid in a hurry, the brothel is the most arty place, and most of those talented people became famous from here.Xu Qing glanced gratefully at the cow grazing.The cow ate grass but misunderstood Xu Qing's eyes, blushed, and hurriedly said that he had heard about it and had never been to that place.

No one in the guards said that he had been to that place, so Xu Qing began to ask where the brothel was, causing passers-by to stare sideways, fearing that they would avoid it.Xu Qing was depressed. Isn't the current brothel legal? Why don't you pretend to understand?
In fact, Xu Qing didn't know that in the Tang Dynasty, once a lowly nationality was registered, it was almost impossible to change it for the rest of his life, unless he saved someone with the credit of the emperor.Moreover, the wives of future generations are also automatically filled with low status. The real ones who give birth to boys are slaves from generation to generation, and those who give birth to daughters are prostitutes from generation to generation.Therefore, most of the people reject those who have entered the lowly nationality, thinking that it is bad luck and ominous.

Finally met someone who was not afraid of bad luck, and after inquiring about that street, Xu Qing led people along the street and asked one by one.But when we got to that street, Xu Qing's guards couldn't move each of them.After asking a few places with difficulty, I knew that Shangguanyi never entered the brothel, but his poems were spread all over the brothel.Once there are new poems, the people in the brothel will send someone to buy them, so after asking a few places, Xu Qing also knows where Shangguanyi lives.

As the ancient capital of scenic spots, Luoyang was designated as the eastern capital by Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. It is very prosperous and huge.Xu Qing asked all the way to the end, and finally found Shangguanyi's residence. When he arrived at the door, he heard that it seemed to be a poetry reception:
"One leaf, two leaves, three leaves"

"Four pieces, five pieces and six leaves"

"Seven pieces, eight pieces, and nine leaves"

"There are ten pieces in detail"

"Hahaha, good poems, good poems, Dang Fu Da Bai"

"The poem we made together is good, hurry up and write it down..."

"Brother Shangguan, why don't you speak?"

"You Shao didn't write a line of poems today, so you have to be punished..."

"Oh, I'm thinking of someone. Her wife has entrusted me with her. I haven't seen her for half a year. I'm afraid it's..." Shangguanyi said in a sad voice, "When it comes to writing poetry, this person is the best I've ever met." of."

At this moment, Xu Qing knocked on the door, "Duk Tuk..."

"Who, I don't see any outsiders today..." A stranger replied.

"Shangguan, old friends meet..." Xu Qing shouted.

"Who, you call You Shao like that, do you know You Shao?" The speaker looked at Shangguanyi, and saw Shangguanyi's lips trembling slightly, and his eyes showed excitement.

Shangguan is Xu Qing's unique name for Shangguanyi. Only Shangguanyi knows it. Shangguanyi put away her excited expression and said to the people present:
"The person here is the person I mentioned with great poetic talent! Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that today's poetry reception will be over." After speaking, Shangguanyi opened the door.

"Brother Chu sixth, are you safe?" Shangguanyi saluted.

"Long time no see, I miss you very much..." Xu Qing also said, he saw that Shangguan Yi had grown a little taller, his face had faded from childishness and his heroic spirit had increased, he looked like a man.

Friends meet, don't be excited, ignore other people in the yard.

"You Shao, don't you want to introduce me?" A man in blue brocade said.

"Oh, yes, yes, come in on the sixth day, huh? Are these your friends? Come in together too." Shangguanyi invited Xu Qing and Xu Qing's guards together. He didn't know that Xu Qing was a general. .

"Shangguan, the military situation was urgent that day. I was in a hurry to go to Hebei. I entrusted you with my wife. Please forgive me for disturbing you..." Xu Qing said without blushing. The real reason for leaving was glossed over a bit. .
"On the sixth day of the lunar new year, you are actually a mansion soldier?! That's how it is, that's how it is. I thought you had offended someone and had to entrust your wife." Shangguanyi said.

"Hahaha, You Shao, didn't you say that his poetic talent is outstanding, so he is a big soldier?" The man in blue brocade laughed loudly, provoking a group of so-called gifted scholars to laugh.

"Bold!" Seeing that Xu Qing was being ridiculed, the five guards roared with anger, and pulled out their knives.Now Xu Qing doesn't need to do this kind of rough work to support the scene. A few followers are here, so Xu Qing chooses to watch.

Those scholars were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The man in blue brocade was a little bit better, and said tremblingly, "This...you...you want to kill people in broad daylight? Shangguanyi, tell them to stop..."

Xu Qing pressed his hand, signaled the guards to put away the knife, and joked: "I have quite a lot of military exploits on the battlefield. Thanks to Shang's kindness, I can be regarded as an incisor general, not a big soldier..." Xu Qing said so, that is Said he didn't care.

But when those scholars saw that the knife was taken back, they became more confident and refused to let Xu Qing go. The man in blue brocade said:

"So what about the general, isn't he still a warrior, extremely vulgar, after all, he doesn't know how to read and write poems. You Shao, you are less likely to associate with these people, so as not to spoil your talent."

This time Shangguanyi got angry, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Chu Liu is a great talent, you don't understand, a gentleman follows the way of civil and martial arts, how can a martial artist be so vulgar?" This sentence is tantamount to calling those who ridiculed Xu Qing villains, and they are the ones who really don't understand poetry.

Xu Qing was not annoyed, and said slowly: "I don't know how good it is to be a literati, but the country is full of wars and chaos, and the people all over the world suffer from it." "From the Army" was changed to read:
"The beacon fire shines on all sides, and I feel uneasy. Yazhang resigns from the phoenix tower, and iron cavalry circles the dragon city. The snow is dark and the flags and paintings are withered, and the wind is full of drums. I would rather be a centurion than a scholar."

After Xu Qing finished reading, the whole yard could hear the sound of needles dropping.

Didn't you say that I'm vulgar and don't understand poetry, so I immediately copied a poem to make you stunned.
