Chapter 142: The final steps

Views:

Fu Ermei put on her veil and was about to leave, but unexpectedly a young man in a white silk robe came up immediately, with several companions behind him, blocking Fu Er's way: "Madam, since you are in a refined mood, why don't you leave a few elegant words so that everyone's trip will not be in vain."

Guo Shao immediately stepped forward and said: "Others are leaving, it would be a bit rude for you to block their way."

The young man in the silk robe looked calm: Who are you

Guo Shao blurted out: The person you are blocking is your wife.

You are such a jerk. What nonsense are you talking about? Fu Er was about to turn around and walk to the other side, but when he heard Guo Shao's words, he immediately turned back, his tone was anxious and angry.

Guo Shao then realized that he had made a gaffe and made a very unfunny joke, just like he had treated her as a singing girl and frivolously pulled her hand. His performance today was really a mess. Was he really too inexperienced in picking up girls

The young man in the silk robe laughed and said: "Brother, it is really despicable to tease a woman with such words."

The followers burst into laughter.

Brother, stop it. The young man in the silk robe glanced at Fu Ermei and said, "You are so blatant and speak in a vulgar way. The lady from Kaifeng Prefecture is from our Daming Prefecture. What is the connection between these two places? You, an outsider, openly flirt with a decent woman. He waved to Fu Er again, "Little lady, don't be afraid. We have people from Daming Prefecture to support you."

Another person said: For a woman like this, it's worth getting stabbed twice. We have lived in vain for the past twenty years.

Guo Shao shook his head and sighed, thinking: Damn, it's too easy to think about it. Being stabbed twice is nothing. I fought from Shu to Southern Tang last year, and I just touched the edge.

At this time, the woman selling palace lanterns came out and said, "Stop arguing, we are all gentlemen. There are soldiers in front of us, and you dare not fight with force. I have an idea for you: why don't you fight with words? The lady just now liked this palace lantern, you two can fight with words to see who is better. Whoever wins the lantern will get a piece of paper and fifty coins."

Haha, you really know how to do business. The young man in the silk robe laughed. He looked Guo Shao up and down and found that he really didn't look like a scholar. So he said, "But this method is also good."

At this time, Fu Ermei was seen with her hands folded in front of her chest, looking like she was waiting to see what would happen. This woman must have known that Guo Shao was a military commander, and she seemed to still remember the anger she had just felt; or she might want to observe how Guo Shao would end up.

In this situation, using force or spending money would be a poor choice.

A group of young scholars also surrounded Guo Shao. The young man in the silk robe smiled from ear to ear and said: I'll give you another idea. Just ask the lady selling palace lanterns if the answers to the lanterns and small items can be bought with money.

Dou Wen, I took over Guo Shao and slapped his forehead and said suddenly very cheerfully.

When Fu Er heard this, he shook his head slightly, turned around and left, as if to say: I really can't stand seeing you embarrass yourself.

The scholar in the satin robe shouted: "Young lady, don't go away. Let us judge the winner."

Fu Er ignored him and walked across the street with his follower named Yuqing. They had already reached the center of the street.

The scholar wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Guo Shao: Where are you going? Aren’t we going to compete in writing

Everyone has left, what are you fighting for? I'll give you that broken thing, the scholar said anxiously. But Guo Shao grabbed him and refused to let him take it. He said angrily: "Hurry up and say something. If you don't know, don't bother."

Zuo You, write for me. Guo Shao called out.

When Zuo You picked up the pen, he recalled briefly and then read aloud: The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night. It also blows down stars like rain.

Fu Er, who was in the middle of the street, stopped immediately.

When Guo Shao thought of this poem just now, he thought for a moment: If I don't publish this poem at this time and in this situation, it would be a shame for my trip to ancient times.

It was not easy to meet Fu Ermei. The two details just now were not very good. If Guo Shao did not try to make up for the moral integrity of copying poems, what moral integrity would he care about now? In order to show off in front of her, he planned to risk everything.

Anyway, I have already copied a Yuan Dynasty song. Copying one song is copying, and copying two songs is still copying.

At this time, Zuo You's eyes lit up, and he turned around and urged: "My lord, it's done. Just read it, I can write it down."

Guo Shao recited in one breath: The road is full of fragrance from the BMW and carved carriages. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragons dance all night. The moth is covered with golden threads of snow willow, and the smile is full of fragrance.

Suddenly, I saw the dazzling and beautiful Lantern Festival in Daming Prefecture, the lanterns on the trees, the gorgeous carriages on the streets, and the ladies beating gongs and drums and dancing dragon lanterns, and in an instant I gained souls.

All the vulgar and elegant objects are just lifeless things, but at this moment they gain life and become full of poetic and picturesque beauty.

The ancients were really amazing, they could describe a lantern market more beautiful than the real scene, but the history here has changed. Will there be Xin Qiji in the future? Without him or his poem, the world will lose a little bit of its spirit for thousands of years. This poem does not have any extraneous meanings, even Guo Shao can recite it with relish in modern times, it is not limited by time and space.

The scholars who had just been laughing and cursing stared at him blankly.

May I ask your name, brother? The scholar asked Guo Shao while looking at Fu Er who was standing in a daze on the street.

Guo Shaodao: Xin Qiji

After saying that, he threw down a piece of gold, turned around and squeezed into the crowd. He was escaping, and he showed off in front of Fu Er. No matter what, he first left her a good impression of being both civil and military. But if he stayed here for too long, it would be easy for a group of scholars who were dissatisfied with him to make mistakes. After all, Guo Shao had memorized a lot of poems, but they were limited to the middle school Chinese textbook.

But he quickly turned back, grabbed the lantern and the trinket, and drove away.

Of course the woman selling palace lanterns would not stop him. She was biting on a piece of gold that was thrown from the stall.

My lord, there should be two more words. Zuo You hurriedly caught up.

Guo Shao hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and walked into an alley. He glanced at Zuo You, the thin civil servant who was always by his side, and said: "This is a poem written by someone else. I took it out to save my life in an emergency."

I don't believe it. Zuo You was anxious and had two more words.

Guo Shao thought about where he had just carried it, and said as he walked: I told you it's okay, why did you take someone else's brush

How much is a broken pen worth? Zuo You grabbed Guo Shao's sleeve.

Guo Shao finally figured out where he had copied to. Just as he passed the alley, he turned around and suddenly saw Fu Er and his follower coming from somewhere and walking to the street on his left.

The main street outside was brightly lit and bustling, but across the alley, the light here was not as brilliant. He was stunned and blurted out: I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was there, in the dim light.

Fu Er was stunned. She and Guo Shao were more than ten steps apart, staring at each other in silence for a long time.

Guo Shao had the illusion that he had known Fu Er for many years, perhaps because he had known her sister for many years. Guo Shao approached cautiously, taking each step very lightly and carefully, but Fu Er stood there without moving.

Every step he took was really not easy, like in Shouzhou, he almost lost his head. Only after going through countless difficult roads could he have the opportunity to stand in front of this woman instead of just a poem.

But what's funny is that after traveling thousands of miles, you still have to rely on copying a poem to take the remaining steps.

Fu Er looked at him in surprise, because Guo Shao's eyes were wide open, as if he was enduring some extreme emotion.

I'm just a dancer, you know, otherwise why would you be so frivolous to me? Fu Er said faintly. She must have easily understood the superficial meaning of the last few sentences of the poem.

Now she's teasing herself

Guo Shao stood there and adjusted his emotions. It was useless to say anything. No matter how turbulent your heart was, others had just met you and didn't know much about you, so it would be incomprehensible if you said anything.

He just said silently: Finally, I can make you look at me straight in the eye.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and the street was slightly lit up. When Guo Shao looked up, he saw fireworks blooming in the air, spreading brilliantly in all directions. Fireworks and firecrackers have existed since the Tang Dynasty. Once gunpowder was invented, it was immediately used, but the direction seemed a little wrong.

Ya Fu Ermei looked up and sighed in surprise.

Guo Shao held back the inexplicable words in his mind, but said gently: "When fireworks are blooming, making a wish is particularly effective. The next one is going up, make a wish."

Is it true? Fu Ermei asked curiously.

Guo Shao smiled and said: You will know if you try it. Just close your eyes.

There was another bang and she quickly closed her eyes and clasped her hands together devoutly.

When the fireworks slowly fell in all directions and gradually dimmed, she saw a small object hanging on her hand. She opened her eyes and saw that it was a colorful stone strung with a red line. She couldn't help but laugh: You

Guo Shao handed over another note: There is still an answer, but I have thrown away the palace lantern. The lanterns are the same, only the answer is different.

Oh, you are such a considerate person. Fu Ermei lowered her head and whispered, her voice as quiet as a mosquito. She opened her hand and glanced at the note in her palm. Suddenly, she said with a coquettish look: So this is the one that is annoying. Why didn't I think of it

At this moment, the follower suddenly spoke, his voice so cold that it was flat and silent: It's three o'clock in the second watch.

Fu Ermei hurriedly said: I have to go back, otherwise I will be in big trouble.

I'll take you to the gate of the palace, Prince Wei's Palace. Guo Shao asked.

Fu Ermei hurriedly said: No need, please don’t send me off and don’t tell anyone else that you have seen me, otherwise I will never talk to you again.

Guo Shao said politely: "Then I will follow you from a distance to make sure you return home safely and ask for your name.

Fu Ermei said casually: Embroidered beads.

After hearing this, Guo Shao thought to himself: What kind of name is this? It sounds like a maid's name. It can't be the name of the woman riding in the carriage. Are you using it to fool me again
