Guo Shao said: To be honest, I did not write the lyrics. If I were asked to write a poem, I could probably do it slowly, but I couldn't write it that well, and it would take time. At that time, I was in a hurry and there was no time to write it now, so I could only recite it. It's also the fault of Mr. Zhe, who was inexplicably picking on me. It would be fine if he was a lofty and talented scholar. I could still tolerate this in front of a truly noble scholar. But I heard that he was a shameless person with bad behavior. He pretended to be so shameless in front of me, and I couldn't help it.
Luo Yanhuan asked calmly: I wonder whose work it is that you are reciting. If it is a famous work, those people present have read a lot of books and will definitely stick to it.
Guo Shao touched his forehead and made up a story: This was taught by a hermit I met before, and I don’t know where he is now, nor whether he is dead or alive.
So that's how it is. Luo Yanhuan nodded. If that's the case, then Envoy Guo doesn't like Brother Li's wife.
I dare not, I dare not. Guo Shao was a little anxious for a moment. I heard that the lady of the Li family was quite famous. How could I not look down on her? It was just that the poem was not my original work. I took it out on the spot for emergency use. I did not intend to plagiarize it. I dare not deceive General Li Chuyun. Brother Luo, when you meet General Li Chuyun, just tell him about this. I am a warrior who only knows a few words. How can I have much literary talent
Zuo You shook his head and said: I don't think that long and short sentence has much literary talent. The words are very simple and the literary talent is not much. It takes a broad mind. Even if the lord wrote it himself, I believe it.
Luo Yanhuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zuo, please don't embarrass Guo Dushi. You can't force me into such a matter. I understand what Guo Dushi means."
Guo Shao was speechless and thought: Damn it, I deny it but you still don't believe me. I keep talking and talking, but it makes things worse, as if I am a person who beats around the bush and is good at making excuses.
However, the facts also prove Guo Shao's insight: in modern society, where ancient poetry is no longer popular, the things that people can still recite are all classics among the fine products left over from the test of time. These things are very powerful no matter what era they are in.
Zuo You's comment was also correct. Tongguan's nostalgia is not good at writing, and in fact, it does not have much so-called literary talent. And because it is a Sanqu, it does not conform to the rhythmic habits of long and short sentences popular in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, so it seems to have no literary talent, but is very smooth.
Guo Shao wanted to continue explaining, but after thinking it over, he gave up and let it go. They can think whatever they want. Guo Shao certainly didn't want to marry Li Chuyun's daughter as his wife, and Li Chuyun was not so bad as to want to give his daughter to him as a concubine.
If Guo Shao had already married, then there would be something to say, such as why he couldn't marry his first wife; the problem is that he hasn't married yet, and he made Li Chuyun's own daughter his concubine. Isn't this obviously looking down on her? It's better not to provoke her.
Guo Shao was obsessed with marrying the second daughter of the Fu family, and the Queen herself said so. They were all girls he didn't know, so why didn't he marry the Fu family instead of rushing to marry Li Chuyun? The Li family's young lady was famous in Bingzhou, and the second sister of the Fu family was famous throughout the country, so how could they be worse
So he stopped explaining, even if it made Li Chuyun suspicious. In comparison, Guo Shao would rather not win over Li Chuyun than make the Queen unhappy and even less willing to not marry the second sister of the Fu family.
When Luo Yanhuan met Li Chuyun again, he tactfully reported Guo Shao's intention to Li Chuyun.
Envoy Guo was sincere to his brother. He had asked and found out that he did not look down on Li Gong's daughter, but he just did not agree. Luo Yanhuan was still thinking about Guo Shao and wanted his friend to work with him. He continued, "I guess Envoy Guo is focusing on the big things now and not worrying about his children."
There are many people who take big things seriously, and I have never seen them not marry before they achieve success. Li Chuyun certainly did not point it out, and he went down the stairs. Guo Dushi's ambitions were not small.
Luo Yanhuan said again: Brother Li is not successful in Bingzhou, why don't you give up the dark and join the light, and follow Guo Dushi with me. Luo Yanhuan thought for a while and whispered, as far as I know, Guo Dushi is from the Queen's Fu family, and he also has contacts with the prime minister of the Privy Council. In addition, he is brave and resourceful and treats his brothers honestly, so many people are willing to work for him. In my humble opinion, it will be no problem for Guo Dushi to become a Jiedushi in the future. Maybe there will be more people joining him now, which is much better than adding icing on the cake in the future.
Li Chuyun pondered and said: Brother Luo's words are good, and I appreciate them. But Mr. Zhe has treated me well, and I can't bear to abandon him. Last time, his brother's son sent someone to Beijing to falsely accuse me, and Mr. Zhe also ignored his own family and personally submitted a petition to plead for me.
Luo Yanhuan said disapprovingly: Didn't the young master come here today to falsely accuse the general under Lord Zhe and dare to cause trouble? It shows that Lord Zhe is just like that.
Li Chuyun pondered and said: Mr. Zhe is in a dilemma, so it is considered kind to treat his subordinates like this.
Luo Yanhuan could not persuade him, so she had to say goodbye. Li Chuyun had wanted to marry his daughter to Guo Dushi before, and if this good thing turned out to be a good marriage, it would not be difficult to get Li Chuyun to serve.
The young lady of the Li family seemed a little anxious. When she learned that Luo Yanhuan had come to the house again, she hurried to see Li Chuyun and asked: "Uncle Luo, what's the matter with you, Dad?"
Li Chuyun understood and replied: "That Guo Dushi has no intention, so there is no need to mention it again."
Li's face changed slightly, she bit her lip, and said angrily: "I didn't mention Guo Dushi, I just asked Uncle Luo where Dad went. What Guo Dushi? I don't know him, why mention him?"
After she finished speaking, although she politely left, her words could not conceal her emotions.
When I returned to the room, I happened to see the maid waiting at the door. Without even observing my expression, she came up and asked impatiently: "What happened?"
You keep asking questions for no reason. Otherwise, I will return the indenture to you and you go with him. Li pushed the door open and walked in angrily.
She followed her father from Xuanyi Town to Jingnan Town. Others always cried and begged to marry her. Even some high-ranking officials did not mind that Li Chuyun's position was a little lower and were willing to marry her in a formal matchmaker. Lady Li, however, had eyes on the top of his head. What was so great about the military commander
Li sat on the bed and sulked for a while, thinking again, it was just to ask Uncle Luo to get the upper hand, Guo Dushi didn't embarrass the Li family in the past. Li's wife thought again: the biggest reason is that the man has never seen me, and he is not from Bingzhou. As long as he sees me, he will definitely change his mind. Hum, from appearance to character and knowledge, how am I worse than others
