Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

The reason why Liu Sanbian is called Sanbian is that in the eyes of his master Yang Renguang, he was a man of temperament who was "often emotionally unstable, crying and laughing" since he was a child.

As the saying goes, three years old is old, and it is just right for Liu Sanbian.

He seldom wrongs himself. In his opinion, once he encounters something that he thinks is interesting and worth laughing at, he has to laugh out loud to be happy.

And these two young gentlemen, one is handsome and has a lot of heart, and the other has a delicate face and a heart, just like this, even if they don't open their mouths, they can be said to complement each other.

Especially when he had just finished admiring the scene where the previous person let the shy Xiaojiao give up his seat without a single word, and then saw that this person made the other person into an unspeakable embarrassment with just a few words ...

It really made him very happy.

After he happily got over the short burst of laughter, gradually with the help of Chu Chu, he patted his heaving chest and slowly recovered his breath.

Naturally, he could see the slight annoyance on Zhu Shuo's face, and quickly showed full sincerity, begging the forgiveness of the offended person.

He just laughed heartily, but now he is willing to show his face when he apologizes. No one can hear the sincerity in his tone.

Zhu said that he was a kind person, and he saw the other party's spirit, not out of malice, and apologized to the two half-year-olds, so he didn't care about it, and accepted the apology graciously.

Liu Sanbian smiled as if relieved, and introduced himself to Lu Ci and Zhu Shuo: "My surname is Liu, my name is Sanbian, and because I am the seventh eldest in my family, many people call me Liu Qilang. I am afraid that I have grown up with you two for a few years, so it should be appropriate to say something, Brother Yu."

Lu Ci smiled: "My surname is Lu Mingci, from Mizhou, nice to meet you."

Zhu Shuo also said: "My surname is Zhu and my name is Said. This time I came from Mizhou with Brother Lu. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Liu Sanbian said with crooked eyebrows and eyes: "Although I am not from Xiuzhou, I have stayed here for a long time anyway, and I know everything about it. Fang Gang has forgotten his feelings for a while, and there are many rude things. I implore the two of you to accept my invitation and come with me. I will visit the interesting places in this city together, so that I have a good opportunity to pay off my crime."

Lu Ci vaguely felt that the name 'Liu Sanbian' was so familiar, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, but if there were no accidents, it would probably be a famous person who appeared in history textbooks.

However, firstly, there was Fan Zhongyan who wrote the evil "Yueyang Tower" by his side, and secondly, the name was simple, and there were many people with the same name, so he quickly calmed down.

He just smiled and said: "Brother Liu, it was only the ridiculous thing itself that was laughing at, not me, nor Zhudi. If that's the case, what's the crime?"

Liu Qi was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "I see."

Zhu Shuo also said: "Brother Lu's words are very true. We actually have important things to do, and we only stay in Xiuzhou City for one night, and then we will continue to go south. Brother Liu kindly invited us, but we can only agree and refuse. We have already understood this kindness, just now we misunderstood a little bit, and it has passed like floating clouds, brother Liu really don't need to be too concerned about it."

After being rejected one after another, Liu Qi became more interested.

Before he knew it, he had leaned forward with his entire upper body, put his arms lazily on the back of Lu Ci's chair, and asked directly: "You two are in such a hurry to go south? Are you going to Suzhou, or Hangzhou, or Is it Guangzhou?"

Perhaps this person has a good appearance, and his direct temperament is like a curious child. Lu Ci is strangely not disgusted by the familiarity shown by this person.

However, just as he was about to answer, Chu Chu, a singing girl who had been sitting quietly since just now, became a little anxious.

In fact, it took only half a day for her to really contact Liu Qilang, who was very famous in the market, and even more famous among singing girls.

The reason why she took so much effort to please her, and was so obedient, was not because she wanted to squeeze out the other party's money, or because she wanted to have a love affair with the other party.

In the end, all she wanted was for this talented poet to write for herself, to write a nice new word for her to sing.

Who knew that after sitting in the fence for a short while, the other party's thoughts were attracted by the two beautiful young gentlemen?

She was really worried that she would be in vain to fetch water from the bamboo basket, especially seeing Liu Qilang's posture of wanting to get up, it was even more difficult to stabilize her position.

After thinking about it, she quietly exerted force and pulled Liu Sanbian's sleeve.

However, his full attention is on the two interesting young gentlemen, where would he notice the little movement at the sleeves and elbows?

So Chu Chu couldn't hint repeatedly, only coughed lightly, and complained in that delicate voice: "In half a day, Qilang wants to leave me?"

Being interrupted to talk, but unable to get the answer he wanted, Liu Qi was a little hurt, but he was born to be sympathetic, so naturally he would not show any dissatisfaction, and only turned his head slightly, looking inquiringly.

Facing the familiar eagerness in her eyes, he instantly understood it, and asked softly, "Have you brought a pen and paper?"

Chu Chu shook her head.

Liu Qiyi thought so too.As soon as he realized that he had asked a nonsense question, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He patted his forehead and asked patiently, "How is Chuchu's memory?"

Chu Chu vaguely guessed what he was going to do, hesitated nervously, but nodded affirmatively.

Liu Qi nodded, then closed his eyes, pondered for a while, and said leisurely——

"Chu Niang has been able to sing and dance since she was a child, and her actions and expressions have helped Chu. She taught the heavens to be ashamed, and she was not afraid of the jealousy of the flying swallows in her palm. Linglong embroidered fans and flowers in Tibetan, like fragrant clouds lining the steps. If the king and grandson plan to give a thousand gold, only in the I live on the east side of the painting building."

In the blink of an eye, a popular and popular "Magnolia" was created.

Lu Ci was first shocked by Liu Qi's ability to utter poems without moving, and after savoring the poem carefully for a while, he felt a little subtle and regretful.

If you really want to evaluate it, it has neither profound meaning that makes people deaf, nor does it express the connotation of the poet's own emotions. It is by no means an amazing work.

It was just a sincere and easy-to-understand sentence, exaggeratedly praised the dancing skills and beauty of this singing girl named 'Chu Niang', and then vaguely sold it to 'Wang Sun', which became a scene full of people in the market. Cheesy romance.

From Lu Ci's point of view, just because Liu Qi can easily write vulgar words, it doesn't mean he can't write elegant words.

After all, he had been in the business of selling sour essays in the market, so he naturally knew very well how difficult it is to make the poems that have taken so much effort and inspiration to vary from customer to customer, and to ensure that they meet the inner expectations and requirements of the other party. difficulty.

Liu Qi can do this easily.

Lu Ci glanced at Chu Chu, who was beaming with joy, and glanced thoughtfully at the suave Liu Qi several times, and silently concluded in his heart that 'this person will definitely take part in the scientific examination and is his strong competitor'.

In this world, there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even when you visit the tile market, you can meet such a genius who speaks words.

——Thinking of this, although Lu Ci didn't show it on the face, the sense of crisis in his heart became more and more serious.

Zhu said that his reaction was more straightforward, frowning directly, clearly expressing his dislike, and not making any comments unless there is something wrong with making shallow words and deeply annoying people.

Chu Chu made no secret of her exuberance, and smiled happily: "Thank you Liu Qilang! This is really wonderful, wonderful! When the song is completed, if you are free, please come and join us."

She read the "Mulan Flower" which was full of praises for her over and over several times, which can be said to be 1 to [-] satisfaction. After making sure that she had memorized it thoroughly, she got up and bowed slowly to Liu Qi, solemnly Thank you authentically, then happily leave the other party and go back to the building.

She doesn't have much time to waste, she has to arrange the new lyrics as soon as possible, and strive to make an amazing appearance in one fell swoop.

Liu Qizao had long been accustomed to being thrown away by singing girls after using them up, blinked his eyes, as if he really regretted saying: "Alas! Just now love is as deep as the sea, but now crossing the river and demolishing bridges, even if there are thousands of grievances, who can I tell? "

Lu Ci raised his eyebrows: "In my opinion, brother Liu is clearly able to do a job with ease and enjoys it. Such a leisurely and fun way to describe it as 'wronged' is too unrealistic."

Liu Qi, who was ruthlessly exposed, couldn't hold back and laughed again.

Zhu said that he raised his hand expressionlessly, and this time he was stingy with commenting even half a word. After buying two packs of pineapple cakes from a hawker wandering between the seats, he did not hesitate to compare them. The big bag was placed with Lu Ci.

- What's so funny about that?

Zhu said he was thinking casually while chewing the sweet and sour pineapple cake.

This gentleman has inherent poetic talent, and his temperament is not lacking in merit, but in the final analysis, he is still too frivolous and loose.

He had some dissatisfaction with this bohemian Liu Qilang in his heart, and it also showed on his face, but he didn't say it kindly.

Liu Qi obviously had other things to do - he just didn't know whether it was a serious business or an affair. He only had time to chat with Lu Ci and Zhu for a while, and had to say goodbye reluctantly.

Before leaving, he mainly asked about the name of the chamber of commerce that Lu Ci's ship belonged to, and the time of departure tomorrow morning.

Although Lu Ci didn't understand why the other party was so curious that he even asked about these details, he didn't think there was anything to hide.You can find out this information by simply going to the dock to inquire.

Therefore, even though he saw that Zhu Shuo didn't like Liu Qi very much, he still told him about it openly.

Meeting by chance, acquaintance, waiting for the boat to leave tomorrow, the mountains will be high and the water will be long, even if you want to, it is difficult to have a reunion day, let alone unintentional?

This Liu Qilang is indeed a talented and wonderful person, and the small episodes of one period and one meeting are full of romance.

After Liu Qi left in a hurry, Lu Ci and Zhu Shuo continued to watch Washe's performance together for a while, and when the second batch of snacks they bought had run out, the two went back home.

Zhu said that he was satisfied and wrote a large poem about what he saw in Goulan Washe and Taihe Building, and fell asleep peacefully with the good mood of seeing new things again.

What he never imagined in his dreams was that the next day the big ship set sail again, and everything was calm, except on the deck, there stood Liu Qi, who was dressed up very finely today, holding a folding fan of windbird flowers, and was looking at the scenery gracefully.

Zhu said he rubbed his eyes silently, suspecting that he hadn't woken up.

Lu Ci was stunned, but went up to say hello first: "Brother Liu?"

"I've been thinking of Jia Niang, my sweetheart, for a long time, but I just can't make up my mind." Liu Qi seemed not to see the instantly collapsed smile on Zhu Shuo's face, and said with a bright smile, "I thought about it last night, it's so rare to meet He Xin." Travel companion, it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, so I simply pack up my bags and catch up with this coincidence, and go directly to Suzhou with the two younger brothers."

The author has something to say: Notes:

1. The "Magnolia" that appeared in this chapter was indeed written by Liu Yong. He wrote lyrics for many singing girls. In "Magnolia" alone, he wrote Xinniang, Chongniang, Suniang, and Jianiang. ("Wenhaoshu Series: Fan Zhongyan, Liu Yong, Zhou Bangyan, Li Qingzhao").His current favorite is Chong Niang.

2. Liu Yong's original name was Liu Sanbian, which is said to have been taken by Yang Renguang, his private school teacher.

Because Liu's father said: "The dog's emotions are often unstable, and the weather is changeable. He shed tears in the wind, felt sorry for the moon, and cried and laughed impermanently since childhood. What's more, he danced with birds and beasts, and talked and laughed with plants. Although he was five years old At the age of [-], the heart is like an adult, isn't it remote?"

Yang Renguang said: "In this way, he is a person with a spiritual personality. Why not take the scientific name Sanbian and the word Jingzhuang, wouldn't it be just right!"

Father Liu asked what the meaning was.Mr. Yang Renguang stroked his short beard slowly with his right hand, and said: "As the saying goes: 'June, the face of a child changes three times a day. Chang Lizhi.' Now I am using it against his intention to persuade him to concentrate on the karma of a saint.

"It means admiring Zhuang Zhou, traveling freely, and not being bound by the world. It can also be understood as: the scenery is dignified, the gentleman is modest, and the gentleman's demeanor can be achieved."

Changing his name to Liu Yong also got him when he was 50 years old, which symbolized the old age when he abandoned his youthful and frivolous past, completely let go of his pride, and pursued official positions.

But the above is from unofficial history, God knows if it is true or not, just listen to it. ("The Prime Minister in White: Liu Yong")
