When Hua Rong first met her, she was crying on the street. How could she be like this if she wasn't in great trouble? She had great admiration for this world-famous poet, and she said sincerely, "Although it's our first meeting, Hua Rong has long admired the layman's literary talent. Seeing the layman sad and crying today, I must be worried about something. You might as well say Come and listen, if we can try our best, my husband and I will never stand idle..."
Li Yi'an sighed and then said something.
It turned out that after the Jingkang disaster, she fled south with her husband. Her husband was a master of epigraphy, and the couple collected a lot of epigraphy and paintings, which they loved more than their lives. When they fled, they also took these paintings and calligraphy with them in dozens of bags. Later, when her husband died of illness, she took care of these paintings and calligraphy by herself, and finally moved to Lin'an.
After arriving in Lin'an, many local celebrities came to visit because of her reputation. One celebrity even lent her a room to stay temporarily, so that she could barely survive. Later, a local official named Zhang Ruzhou came to visit with special attentiveness. She talked about calligraphy and painting with her and showed great concern. Soon, he proposed to her. Li Yian was a woman in her late fifties. In order to make a living, she had to agree to marry Zhang Ruzhou. After the marriage, the couple got along well. But soon , Li Yian realized something was wrong, because his collection of paintings and calligraphy was decreasing day by day, and many precious ancient books were missing.
She questioned Zhang Ruzhou, but Zhang Ruzhou was hesitant and had no choice but to admit that he had stolen it and bribed Wang Jixian, the medical officer most favored by the emperor, in order to get him to speak well in front of the emperor, so that he could be promoted and make a fortune.
Only then did Li Yian realize that he had fallen into the hands of a white-eyed wolf. But at this time, Zhang Ruzhou showed his true face and showed his fierceness, saying that if you marry a chicken, you will follow a dog, and Li Yi'an's things belong to him, and he took it blatantly. Go and honor Wang Jixian.
Li Yian and her late husband tried their best to protect this batch of cultural relics from going south. Naturally, they could not let it be exposed like this. After a while of arguing, Zhang Ruzhou actually went to the extreme and beat her several times. Li Yian had no choice but to remember that he had a cousin Wang Junhua, who was the wife of Qin Hui...
When Hua Rong heard the name "Wang Junhua", she was shocked and thought to herself, the world is really small, and she felt depressing. What kind of person like Li Yian could have such a shameless cousin. She did not interrupt Li Yian's narration, but just spoke quietly. Just listen to what she says.
At this time, Qin Hui was already a second-rank official in the imperial court, so it was easy to deal with Zhang Ruzhou. But Li Yian naturally didn't know that Wang Junhua and his wife were wholeheartedly trying to fawn over Wang Jixian, so how could they offend him? They tried to evade it in every possible way. In desperation, another celebrity saw the scars on Li Yian's body. He couldn't bear the humiliation of a talented woman, so he came forward to take action in the government and decreed a divorce between her and Zhang Ruzhou.
After the divorce, Li Yian lived in a hotel and had nowhere to go. But just the day before yesterday, the medical officer Wang Jixian sent a servant to drop 50 taels of gold and said that he would buy all her paintings and calligraphy. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he would come and move them all in three days. Walk.
Even if the store sympathizes with Li Yian, who dares to offend the powerful medical officer Wang Jixian? Li Yi'an had no choice but to go out to seek help from local celebrities that day, but no one dared to come forward. Therefore, You Hua Rong saw her wandering alone on the street, crying miserably...
As soon as she finished speaking, before Yue Pengju could speak, Hua Rong was so angry that he almost shouted: "Wang Jixian, a mere medical officer, dares to take advantage of others and bully famous people. Let me kill him..."
Yue Pengju knew his wife's mood and gently held his hand. Although he was also in a heavy mood, he said softly: "I have a way to deal with Wang Jixian."
Hua Rong asked: "What can I do?"
He smiled slightly and said to Li Yian: "You don't need to be afraid, and there is no need to go back to the inn. I will order a few soldiers to disguise themselves and guard the inn tonight. I will take action tomorrow."
Li Yian was very moved when he saw that these two people, who were not related to him and had no connection with him, immediately took over such a difficult task. He saluted and said, "Thank you both."
Hua Rong helped her up, but felt that her body was shaking slightly and her palms were cold. She said softly: "She has been haggard and working hard these days. Let's go and rest first..."
Li Yian was excited at this time, but he saw paper and ink lying on the table next to him. It was originally written by Yue Pengju while he was at home. There were only four big words on it:
Give me back my mountains and rivers
She read it carefully, but felt that it was so majestic and overwhelming that a great man with a vast heart could never write such words.
She was so excited that she immediately dipped her pen in ink and wrote on the white paper:
Live as a great person
Even death is a ghost
I still miss Xiang Yu
Reluctant to cross Jiangdong
… … …
Hua Rong was grinding ink for her at the side, but when he saw her finishing writing, heartily and filled with endless indignation, she felt a heat wave rushing into her eyes. But she saw Yue Pengju was also at the side, watching intently, his expression never changed. Too excited.
Li Yian put down his pen and Hua Rong took the paperweight and fixed the four corners. Then he took a closer look and was amazed and speechless. It is said that Li Yian is a talented poet and a great poet, and this poem is even more majestic, heroic and upright. The energy penetrates the back of the paper.
The two met many scribes in the court, and Hua Rong also accompanied the great scholar Yu Wenxuzhong on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. However, they saw that none of these talented scholars who came from Jinshi in this dynasty could match Li Yian.
Li Yi'an saw Hua Rong's eyes wandering around for a long time. It was rare to see such sincere appreciation and admiration, especially such a look from a young woman. She looked at Hua Rong, smiled and said: "Mrs. Yue, this I’ll give you the poem.”
Hua Rong raised her head and said happily: "Really, are you really giving it to me?"
Because of her joy, her eyes were dark and bright, with an extremely rare aura of innocence and innocence. Li Yian looked at her as if he were a close nephew, and thought to himself, the fate between people is really strange. Her talents are above the world, but most women in the world are limited by family restrictions. They take care of their husbands and raise children, and embroidery and weaving are the focus of their lives. Nowadays, seeing flowers melting with arrows on their backs, appreciating calligraphy, and Yue Pengju's kind of harmony with eyebrows raised, I can't help but I sighed in my heart, if my late husband hadn't died young, I would have been so happy and happy.
After writing these sentences, Li Yian was extremely tired. Hua Rong immediately helped her to a clean and tidy room. She helped Li Yian lie down, but she saw that this old woman in her fifties was so worried that her life was like a The yellow flowers that have gone through the frost look like an ancient old man.
Li Yian had been running around for a long time, and now he was relaxed. But when he saw the woman in front of the bed who was gentle and filial, like a child, he couldn't help but shed tears and sighed: "I am lonely, how wonderful it would be to have such a daughter by my side?"
Only then did Hua Rong realize that this generation of talented women had never had children, had no children, and were always alone. Originally, she thought her children were lost in the war.
It turns out that such a great poet who is famous all over the world also sighs like this.
It was this sigh that made Hua Rong think about her own affairs and Lu Wenlong's departure. She suddenly felt anxious and sad. But at this time, she could not reveal her feelings to anyone, for fear of increasing Li Yian's anxiety. Sad, she just smiled and said softly: "If I don't give up, you can treat me as your daughter."
Li Yian's eyes lit up, but he was extremely tired and could no longer hold on. He fell to the bed, looking very depressed.
Hua Rong held up the quilt for her and said softly: "Go to rest early, don't worry, everything will be fine." She covered her whole body like she was serving her mother, and put a cup of hot tea on her bedside. Close the door, turn around and go out.
She returned to the bedroom and saw Yue Pengju sitting next to her, his face full of thought.
Then she took a long breath and cursed in a low voice: "Wang Jixian is just a wandering doctor who treated Zhao Deji's disease. How dare you go so far to bully people like this..." It can be seen that if Zhao Deji hadn't favored and indulged him, how could he have done it? Dare you do this
Hua Rong looked at her husband and asked: "Pengju, are you really sure about tomorrow? If not, I will find another way..."
Yue Pengju shook his head and said softly: "Since I am Yi An, how can I dare to speak nonsense?"
When Hua Rong heard what he said, her brows slowly relaxed and she held his hand happily: "We will do this tomorrow."
The next day was a warm day. After the beginning of spring, the sunshine in the south was already a bit warm, and there were many tourists on the West Lake. In a gorgeous painting boat, medical officer Wang Jixian came as scheduled.
This time, he received an invitation from Yue Pengju and came to the banquet.
Wang Jixian made great contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of Zhao Deji's disease. Strangely enough, whenever Zhao Deji changed doctors, he would always refuse to use any medicine. As time went by, he could not live without Wang Jixian for a day. Once, he was drunk and hugged a The famous palace maid OOXX said proudly: "Wang Jixian is my Si Ming (Si Ming is the god in charge of human life)." This was heard by the eunuchs and slaves serving outside, and they spread like wildfire, because Wang Jixian ranked eighth. So he was given the nickname "Bastard Siming". This also shows the extent to which Wang Jixian was favored.
Wang Jixian naturally knew his importance in the emperor's mind, and he deliberately won over the eunuchs in the palace, which made him feel like a fish in water. Over time, he did many evil things and became rich. He relied on his status and usually did not even pay attention to officials who were higher than himself. Here, he also directly made jokes about some military generals such as Zhang Jun. However, he was not only surprised by Yue Pengju's invitation, but he was also happy to associate with this hero of Qin Wang, because at least they had met each other a few times.
When he came to the boat, he saw that the boat was gorgeous and he thought to himself, Yue Pengju and his wife lived a simple life and had little oil and water. What were they doing today
Yue Pengju stood at the bow of the ship and greeted him warmly upon seeing him. Wang Jixian also politely said according to his rank: "I have met Mr. Yue."
The two were polite, and Wang Jixian went in first, only to see Hua Rong inside, enthusiastically arranging fruits and vegetables, and a bottle of fine Jinbo wine was placed on the table.
Hua Rong poured three large cups himself and said with a smile: "Master Wang, please."
Wang Jixian was suspicious and suddenly thought, could these two people beg for a child
After he drank three cups, Hua Rong smiled and took out one hundred taels of gold: "Sir Wang, it's just a trivial matter, not respectful."
According to the currency unit at that time, one hundred taels of gold was equivalent to 2,500 coins, which was already a considerable amount of money. Wang Jixian had naturally received much more property than this, but when he thought that it was given by Yue Pengju's wife, it was exactly He was extremely surprised and said hurriedly: "I am a low-ranking official and I will not receive any salary without merit."
Yue Pengju also smiled and said: "Master Wang, there is no need to refuse."
Wang Jixian still didn't know why, so Hua Rong toasted him with another drink, and then slowly said: "I am distantly related to Master Yi An. It is not easy for her. She is alone and homeless. Please forgive me..."
When Wang Jixian arrived, he fully understood the meaning of the 100 taels of gold. He couldn't help but blush. He only said, "Please rest assured, Mr. Yue and Madam Guo, I will understand."
Hua Rong toasted him with a few more glasses, and Wang Jixian ate and drank for a while before looking for an opportunity to leave. At Hua Rong's insistence, he naturally had to take away the one hundred taels of gold.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw his figure disappear completely surrounded by his servants.
