tiger wife

Axiu's heart beat like a drum, she stared at Li Jinzhong in a daze.

Axiu didn't understand the thoughts of an old man like Li Jinzhong. He comforted him just now and gave him a reassurance, but he didn't expect such a stick to come when he opened his mouth.From this point of view, Li Jinzhong already knew about his peeking at pornographic books, but he didn't know when he knew about it, whether it was last night or this morning.He timidly opened his mouth and said, "Diao Chan... Diao Chan..." If Diao Chan hadn't been a famous beauty, he really wanted to insist that he didn't know.Li Jinzhong took a sip of tea and said, "Tell me as much as you know, please tell me."

"Diao Chan was a beautiful woman from the Three Kingdoms period." Axiu Xin was desperate, her palms sweated a little, and her words became explicit.Li Jinzhong seemed to want revenge. He joked: "She is Wang Yun's goddaughter and his little lover. Wang Yun dedicated her to Dong Zhuo for his great cause, but she seduced Dong Zhuo's godson Lv Bu. Lu Bu was killed, and Cao Cao slept with her overnight, and she was given to Guan Yu later!"

He mixed up real stories and false histories, and all the women in the Li family covered their sleeves and laughed.Fortunately, it was the Tang Dynasty, and the folk customs were open, and these women had heard some vulgar stories in the boudoir. If it were placed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, where the feudal system was the strictest, his words would probably shame those women to the ground. up.Li Jinzhong glanced at him, and then asked: "Then what will happen to her in the end?"

"I don't know where to go." Axiu looked at Li Jinzhong, and suddenly became frank, "However, there is a book "Diao Chan's Amorous History", which said that she ended up with an executioner who was very good at bed, and fell into lust." He swallowed He spat and continued, "But those literati who wrote wild books are all sanctimonious hypocrites. They used ancient women for entertainment, and they were just talking about their own male robbers and female prostitutes. Whether Diao Chan is a disaster or an ordinary person, after thousands of years I have my own judgment, some people call her a disaster, the servant disagrees, the servant thinks she is just a woman, but some people say that Diao Chan is just a sad beauty who was sacrificed by the royal politics, a victim of being played by men, the servant does not agree, she was seduced at the time When Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo were in power, she may not be involuntary. A woman who can control politics cannot be a weak and helpless woman. She must have her own will. Who knows what she was thinking at the time, who knows her Is it a good person or a bad person? Diao Chan has been a woman who has been dead for hundreds of years. When people mention her now, who cares about her fate and her destination, and who cares about national politics during the Three Kingdoms period? People mentioned Diao Chan because they cared about her romantic affair, whether she was a disaster or not, but because of her beauty. The uncle is open-minded, not like a man who is obsessed with women. I don’t know why the uncle asked Speaking of her? There are many heroes of the Three Kingdoms, why don’t you ask others, but only Diao Chan?”

After Axiu said so much in one breath, she felt relieved all of a sudden, raised her head, showing a little provocation, Li Jinzhong looked at him with thin lips, seemed surprised that she said the above words, and sure enough, he was silent After a while, he said: "Second brother often says that your speech and actions are different from ordinary people, and it seems that you are indeed knowledgeable."

Axiu originally wanted to ask Li Jinzhong that he would not be able to get off the stage in public, but he glanced at Li Tianba next to him, as if giving him another wink, so he suppressed it and lowered his head again.No one around dared to speak, and the atmosphere fell into a moment of silence.Li Tianba saved him once, and asked with a smile: "Axiu, you have only been away for a few days, and you have become so eloquent."

"I heard from Tianba that you are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics?" The lady suddenly said, "How much do you know about the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"Returning to Madam, the slave has only read a little bit of the Four Books and Five Classics after entering the mansion, and has not read it well. Moreover, he doesn't even know which Four Books and Five Classics are the Four Books and Five Classics."

"I know I know." Li Jinzhong's youngest daughter Li Jing suddenly said: "The Four Books are "The Analects", "Mencius", "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", and the Five Classics are "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs"... Um, and...and..." Her sudden childishness made everyone laugh.Li Jing pointed at Axiu and shouted, "He's not as good as me, I know it all!"

Axiu blushed slightly, and said: "The slave only knows how to read and write, and he doesn't read many books."

"What are you doing reading so many? A woman is virtuous if she has no talent. He is the second master's good friend. He is beautiful..." Seeing Li Jinzhong's face, the third lady suddenly closed her mouth, just covered her hands and smiled, and looked at Second Madam: "I know Second Sister doesn't like to talk, so let me ask for Second Sister?"

The second lady's face was calm, but she said something that surprised everyone: "Don't worry about the third sister, I do have a question, I want to ask this Axiu."

The second lady's words are beautiful, gentle and demure.Axiu quickly bent over to her: "Second Madam, may I ask?"

"Although this is the first time I've seen you, I've heard of your name a long time ago. The girl next to me told me that you are very talented. I heard you just now. Although you are young, you are also knowledgeable. Although your family is dilapidated But your talent is in your stomach, and no one can take it away, why didn't you find a way to survive by relying on your talent, instead you became a beggar in a ruined temple?"

This second lady is really unusual. After listening to it for a long time, Axiu didn't realize it. It's true that he hadn't thought about this problem himself. Later, he really thought that he would not be a beggar all the time in the future, but he met Li Tianba, and then he was injured and recuperated, and he never had a chance.Thinking of this, Axiu glanced at Li Tianba, and knew that her chance to punish Li Tianba had come.

"The slave didn't think about being a beggar all the time. To tell the truth, the second lady said that the slave has only been in Luoyang for more than a month, and he spent almost all of this month in a hospital bed. First, he was poisoned because of the rescue of the uncle, and later Du Gang After I solved it, I met the second master. The second master wanted... to want that slave, but the slave would rather die than obey, so the second master ordered someone to beat him up, hurt his leg, and almost became disabled, and then hit him by mistake When I met the second master, I entered the mansion and became the servant of the second master."

Li Tianba's expression became ugly, but he didn't say anything to defend himself. In fact, not only Li Tianba, Li Jinzhong and the eldest lady also had subtle expressions, but Li Jinzhong was good at hiding his emotions. not come out.The second lady turned her head to look at Li Tianba, and said, "According to this, what happened to you, from being free to being a slave, is all because of the second master?"

Axiu was taken aback, and quickly shook her head and said, "That's not true, the servant is doing well now, and I don't feel wronged."

"Why didn't you suffer wronged? You used to be the young master of a rich family. Although you were in trouble for a while, you were still a free person. With your own efforts, you may not be able to make a comeback in the future, but because of the second master, you became a slave. A slave was a slave for a while. , I will be a slave all my life, and I don’t even have the qualifications to take the imperial examination in the future. You are the savior of the uncle, and the uncle is kind and generous. Why don’t you ask the uncle to reward you with some money, go out and live a good life on your own, it’s not better than being here Minion?"

Of course, he would die if he had a silver reward, but that Li Jinzhong only said that he would be transferred to the study to serve him, and he didn't say that he would be rewarded. He was still depressed.So he looked at Li Jinzhong happily, but Li Jinzhong didn't want to say anything, but his face was not very good-looking.The second lady called out again at a critical moment: "Master?"

"The reward will definitely be given." The eldest lady hurriedly interjected, "Third sister, it's your turn to ask."

Axiu's heart suddenly dropped, she was very depressed, but she still turned to the third lady.The third lady said with a smile: "I think this slave's mind is not ordinary. It's a pity to stay with the uncle as a book boy. I don't know how to read and write, and I can't speak literary words. But I heard that the most famous one now is Li Taibai's." Poems, the girls sing very well, can you compose poems?"

This is exactly what Axiu wanted. He was afraid of everything, but he was not afraid of writing poems. Anyway, he could just recite any poems after the Tang Dynasty.He nodded and began to recite: "I can follow the example of Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms and write a seven-step poem!"

He didn't even blush when he told a lie, he put his hands behind his back, and walked calmly.Who knew that the second lady stopped him as soon as he took a step: "Wait a minute."

Axiu turned her head and looked over, and saw the second lady smiled slightly, and said: "Back when Cao Pi wanted to make things difficult for Cao Zhi and asked him to compose seven-step poems, the test was not whether the poems were good or not, but whether the poems were quick or not. You read it casually." A poem, who knows if you prepared it yesterday. I don’t think it’s better like this..." The second lady looked around as she spoke. It was the golden autumn season, and a wild goose flew across the sky with a desolate cry. Kuo, Axiu didn't expect the second lady to make such a sudden move, her heart was pounding, she saw the second lady frowned slightly, and said, "How about writing a song with the title of "Big Wild Goose"? "

Axiu was stunned on the spot. He had memorized quite a few poems. In Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was not difficult at all to recite a random poem, but it was difficult for him to ask him to recite poems for special things. The ancient poem about wild geese, It's not that he hasn't learned it before, but none of the ancient poems he's learned is dedicated to wild geese, and autumn geese are just an embellishment in those poems.Ah Xiu, now in Tainan, has finally learned what it means to kill invisible. The second lady looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Since it's a seven-step poem, let's start now."

"Yo, I really can't see it. The second sister is not talkative on weekdays and is famous for being a virtuous person. I didn't expect that she would be really strict in the examination. The lady said it just now. We are just joking. How can you move?" It's real." The third lady smiled at Axiu, and Axiu was full of gratitude, thinking that people should not be judged by appearances, and the second lady looked gentle and kind, but she didn't expect the trick to be so terrible, on the contrary, he always looked down on her The third lady, although she looks like a monster, she still said a few words for him.But he soon discovered that none of the wives of the Li family were fuel-efficient. The third lady changed the subject and said with a smile: "I don't think this is good. Let's just test this slave, but we didn't say what the result will be." So, what if he passed the exam, so what if he failed the exam, why didn't he say anything? After passing the exam, he will serve in the uncle's study as a matter of course, if he fails the exam, should he be kicked out? "

But no one spoke. Li Jinzhong looked solemn and glanced at the second and third wives.Axiu's palms were sweating, and she begged Li Jinzhong for mercy.But that Li Jinzhong is really not a joke, he said blankly: "You try it."

Axiu pursed her lips and glanced into the crowd. Fatty and Shitou were also in the crowd, both staring at him with wide eyes. The fatty clenched his fists, as if cheering him on.He started pacing with his hands behind his back, from one step to three steps, still had no idea in his mind, so he panicked.When he reached the fourth step, he couldn't help but turned his head again and took a look at Li Jinzhong.

----------------------

Among the ancient poems after the Tang Dynasty, he couldn’t think of any ancient poems describing wild geese. He thought that he had been driven to a dead end, so he lowered his requirements and started thinking from the Tang Dynasty forward. , He really thought of two poems. He remembered a language test. There was a question in the test paper to analyze the difference between the poet Du Fu and another poet Cui Tu's ancient poem of the same name. Cui Tu is too unfamiliar. He also had no memory at all, but he did remember Du Fu, but Du Fu, a great poet, was so famous, he couldn't be sure if all the people present knew the song "Lonely Goose".But he only knew this one of the ancient poems about wild geese. Seeing that the seventh step had already been stepped on, Axiu's slender phoenix eyes slightly raised, and she chanted: "Gu Yan does not drink and peck, and the sound of flying sings and reads." .”

As soon as he spoke, the surrounding fell silent.He calmed down his mind slightly, and slowly read from memory: "Who is pity for a shadow, lost in a thousand clouds? Seeing everything is like seeing, mourning is as much as hearing. Wild ducks have no mood, and they are singing and singing."

After reciting this poem, sweat broke out on Axiu's forehead, and she was inexplicably nervous, fearing that someone would catch her and say that she stole other people's poems to make her face longer.He looked around secretly, and saw that no one was talking around, so he felt a little more confident in his heart, took a breath, and explained: "A lone goose that strays away from the flock doesn't drink or peck, it just keeps going. Flying, screaming, missing and looking for its companions, but who will take pity on the lone goose in the vast sky? It is lost with the wild geese in the sea of ​​clouds, and it looks to the end of the world, as if its companions are right in front of them , it whined, as if it heard the call of its companions. However, the wild ducks didn't understand the mood of the lone goose at all, and just kept clamoring there."

When explaining the second half of this poem, Axiu secretly felt happy, because the situation and situation really fit the scene in the poem, because they were by the lake, and there were indeed many people in the lake. The wild ducks were playing in the water, and this way of pointing at Sang Huai made him a little angry.The third lady looked around and said with a smile: "I don't know poetry, but the second sister said, how is this servant's poems?"

The second lady didn't speak, but her face became solemn, but Li Jinzhong showed a smile with an unknown meaning on the corner of her mouth.

"Looking at Second Sister's face, this slave has passed the test?" The third lady was surprised this time, and turned to look at Li Tianba: "Second Master, it's time for you to ask."

"I was the first person in the mansion to know about Axiu's talent. I don't need to ask him anymore. I know that in our mansion, except for the elder brother, no one is as talented as him!" Li Tianba was not humble when he praised him. , said, "But Axiu has a wild personality, and it's not suitable to serve in front of elder brother. Let him follow me."

"Tianba..." Da Furen immediately stopped him.The third lady laughed and said: "It seems that the second master really loves this slave, son, in the eyes of the second master, he looks good all over."

The Da Furen's expression was difficult to distinguish, but she smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Third Sister hasn't asked yet, Third Sister..."

Miss Li Jiasan stood up and said, "I am a daughter, and I don't read many poems and books. Among the famous scholars in the world, I only know Li Taibai from the Imperial Academy and Wang Mojie, who is famous all over the world. Taibai is capable of writing and martial arts." Mojie is even more proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Whether a person is capable or not depends only on being able to recite poems and write correctly. Nothing else?" Miss San said, pointing to the Four Treasures of the Study on the table, "I've seen your handwriting at my second brother's place, although it's neat, it's far from excellent, you admit it? "

Axiu nodded, that's true, how can the little three-legged cat kung fu he learned compare with ancient people, they all practiced brush calligraphy since childhood, unlike him, who only learned so much in elementary school. Two years, it's okay in modern times, but in ancient times, it's really not as good as an ordinary scholar.Miss San laughed and said, "Then we don't take calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, besides books, which one do you know?"

Axiu shook her head and said, "I don't even know it. I can only play a little bit of chess, and I can only know a little bit of fur." ​​In fact, he can also draw a little bit. It was cultivated as a hobby when he was young, but he can only paint with watercolors. , will not put those things on the table.

Third Miss smiled, seemed a little proud, and said, "I'm done asking."

Axiu really didn't expect that he passed five trials and cut six generals, and finally fell into the hands of an unmarried girl. But before the calculation was over, the youngest of the Li family appeared on the stage and said, "I want to take the exam too." Test him."

With a loving face, the eldest lady touched her arm and said, "Don't mess around."

"Why am I messing around, you all asked me, and I want to ask too." After the Tang Dynasty experienced Wu Zetian, the status of women was unprecedentedly high in China's thousands of years of feudal dynasties, and all of them had the ability to make a difference .After Miss San's stick, Axiu became vigilant. Li Jing glanced at Axiu with a childish smile on her face, but suddenly pulled out a sword from a young servant.The cold light from the sword shone on Axiu's eyes, he was so frightened that he ran back a few steps, the little girl next to him laughed, his face blushed, he quickly stood still, and heard that little girl Li Jing say "Auntie said just now that it's nothing more than writing and ink. What's important now is both writing and martial arts." Li Jing said, and handed over the sword, "Take it."

Axiu took it over in a daze, before she understood what was going on, Li Jing turned around and said to another boy next to her, "You, come out and compare with him."

This frightened Axiu, it was fine to use her words, but if she wanted to do it, it would be a big deal that hurt her muscles and bones.The boy who came out looked to be over 20 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked like he had been trained. He drew the sword on his waist and said, "That villain is making a fool of himself."

Axiu was still in a daze, but the boy had already attacked, he let go of the sword in his hand with a "slap", knelt down with a "plop", waved his hands and shouted: "This can't be done, this can't be done, I've never held a sword before, and I don't know anything, so there's no need to compare, I'm destined to lose!"

Those girls and servants next to him actually laughed, his face flushed with embarrassment, he felt extremely ashamed, and wished he could rush up and kick that Li Jing, damn it, the little girl is not old, and she can't beat her up The kung fu is quite powerful!

At any rate, Li Jinzhong finally spoke and said, "There's no need to compare, you get up."

Only then did Axiu get up, bent down and patted the dust off her clothes.After a test, he seemed to have only passed half of it, and the other half was all on his hands.He was a little unconvinced, young and energetic, and didn't want to be looked down upon by others, so he volunteered and said, "I will do something else."

Da Furen was stunned for a moment, then smiled randomly, narrowing her eyes slightly, and asked, "What else do you want?"

"Axiu can also read accounts and settle accounts, so he can be an accountant!" Li Tianba hurriedly said, "He also knows a lot, and knows many historical stories."

"I can sing and dance." Axiu volunteered, "Everyone is here today, and I can sing and dance to cheer everyone up."

When he said this, everyone around became interested. The eldest lady took a look at Li Jinzhong and said, "My uncle is usually tired. It would be nice to listen to a song and watch a dance, but I don't know how deep you are." effort."

Ah Zi U's dance was very dynamic and energetic. This time, she used all her housekeeping skills, singing and dancing, sweating all over her body.However, the people around him couldn't appreciate his performance so hard. They all covered their mouths and laughed, looking at him like a monkey in a zoo.His little face was flushed from exhaustion, he stood there gasping for breath, suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart, became angry, his nose was slightly sour, and he looked up at Li Jinzhong who ruled his destiny.

When he used to dance at home, his grandparents liked it very much. When he danced in class, those girls would shout excitedly once or twice.

But he is not in the original world anymore, the current world does not belong to him, it is so strange to him, it is out of tune with him.The song he sang just now may sound weird to them, and the dance he danced seems a little open and shameless to them.

He was suddenly sad, panting, and stood in front of everyone.

------------------

There is a reason why Axiu deceived everyone with Du Fu's poems. In fact, in history, the double walls of Tang poetry in the hearts of Tang people were not Li Bai and Du Fu, but Li Bai and Wang Wei.Wang Wei is an all-rounder, because his piano skills were favored by the princess, and he became Jietou (that is, the number one scholar). His calligraphy and painting were also very famous, and they were all respected by people at that time. Li Bai, who practiced Buddhism in his later years, was known as the "Poetry Buddha", and was called a generation of Wenzong by Tang Daizong in the late Tang Dynasty, and he was highly respected.On the contrary, Du Fu did not have a high poetic name at that time, not even as good as other poets of the Tang Dynasty. It was not until his later years that he became famous. It was after the Middle Tang Dynasty that he was truly as famous as Li Bai, and Du Fu was in the position of Du Fu in the Northern Song Dynasty. It was pushed to the highest level, and finally ranked with Li Bai.
