Chapter six hundred and eighty-ninth mythological variables(1/2)
Bai Jingyue never expected that the first meeting between him and Wang Mang would be like this.??
In such a noisy restaurant, the two of them had an inexplicable sight.
Seeing this situation, Shirai Yue bowed helplessly to Wang Mang.
It was a sign of rudeness to peek at others for no reason. If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine. Wang Mang in front of him was the most noble person in the Han Dynasty except the emperor, and Shirai Yue had to bow and pay his respects.
Seeing Shirai Yue’s actions, Wang Mang smiled. Just when Shirai Yue thought that this matter ended, Wang Mang walked straight towards Shirai Yue.
"Mr. Wang?"
Seeing Wang Mang's abnormal movement, the shopkeeper was a little puzzled. He couldn't ask Wang Mang directly what he was doing, so he asked in another way: "Master Wang, do you still want the old private room?"
Hearing the shopkeeper's inquiry, Wang Mang waved his hand and said that he didn't need it, and then sat directly opposite Shirai Yue.
"I wonder why Lord Wang condescends here?"
Shirai Tsuki asked in confusion, he shouldn't have done anything to attract the other party's attention.
Wang Mang saw Bai Jingyue's slightly confused expression and laughed: "Sacred? The poet is too despised."
ha?
Shirai Tsuki looked confused.
Poet Immortal? When did he get this title?
Wait... He did recite some poems, lyrics and songs.
Those words and sentences from the essence of various schools in later generations are definitely rare in this era.
However, he only copied a few when he was in a good mood in the flower building and restaurant.
Probably not so famous, right?
Shirai Tsuki was not familiar with history, so he naturally didn't know that in this dynasty, scholars would be regarded as scholars' romanticism as long as they were not addicted to it, and even many scholars who had not yet entered the officialdom would linger in these fireworks places.
Naturally, Shirai Yue's shocking poems were heard by these scholars who also sought elegance and elegance, and then promoted them.
Shirai Yue traveled westward and before he could reach Chang'an City, his poems had been sung all over the country. Shirai Yue himself was also praised as a poet by many scholars.
Even Wang Mang had heard of Shirai Yue's poems and admired Shirai Yue very much.
With Wang Mang's intelligence ability, Shirai Yue's appearance was naturally known to him. When he met Shirai Yue before, he was a little unbelievable, but he quickly confirmed Shirai Yue's identity.
After all, although there are many people in strange costumes and many people who imitate Shirai Yue are now wearing them, they are just like Shirai Yue, but this is the only one.
Wang Mang was also happy about such a chance encounter. He was also very impressed by Bai Jingyue's [literary talent], so Wang Mang went directly to the table where Bai Jingyue was.
What Wang Mang unexpectedly did not expect was that this poetic immortal seemed to know how famous he was.
"So that person is a poet? He is so charming!"
When Wang Mang heard that he confirmed Bai Jingyue's identity, those literati who were originally suspicious but were not sure could not help but praise Bai Jingyue.
"I am really sorry for the name of the poet."
Shirai Tsuki felt a little embarrassed. He sang these poems because he became more interested and thought of the ancient poems that were famous in history, so he recited them, but he didn't expect that it would have such an impact.
"The poet is so humble. Now who in the world knows the name of the poet is? Your song "The Song of Water Melody: When will the Moon Be there" by Chenliu is really shocking, and I admire it very much."
"The Song of Water Melody: When will the Moon Be There" was written by Su Shi, a famous poet of the Song Dynasty. It can be said to be a masterpiece that has been sung for thousands of years. Even in the era when vernacular Chinese was used throughout the text, China still regarded it as a must-learn lyrics and music in textbooks.
Shirai Yue, a few months ago, passed by Chenliu. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival. When he remembered the girls who were still waiting for him in Gaotianyuan, Shirai Yue recited this song that he had recited quite skillfully back then.
As a result, the world knows it once.
Even Wang Mang paid attention to Shirai Yue and began to search for the poems that Shirai Yue had chanted before, and paid more attention to Shirai Yue.
"Mr. Wang is too proud, he is just a person who does nothing and complains without any illness."
"Why should you be so humiliated? Your talent should be praised in the next honor."
Just after he finished speaking, Wang Mang suddenly had a problem. Shirai Yue said just now that he was a person who did nothing!
This made Wang Mang interested.
For the prosperity of this country and to restore the Zhou Li, what he had to do was too dangerous and too much for ordinary people to understand. Therefore, he needed more people to help him. Isn’t this famous poet in front of him a very good goal?
If it is in the future, such a well-known figure with an influence all over the country will definitely be of great help to me, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Mang picked up the wine pot that the hotel shopkeeper had just brought and poured a pot of wine for the empty cup of Shirai Yue.
"I wonder where you are now?"
"Just linger in the world."
Shirai Yue sighed, pretending to be depressed, and quietly looked at Wang Mang.
It seems that his previous plan can be changed?
If we can get along with Wang Mang's line, there is no need to wait for the world to be in chaos. Wouldn't it be better to just use Wang Mang's power to do what he wants to do?
"Why don't you find something to do?"
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Shiraizuki sighed.
"On the way here, I encountered several waves of bandits. They were all the people of the Han Dynasty."
While speaking, Shirai Yue deliberately revealed some hatred and dissatisfaction with the current society.
Seeing Shirai Yue’s appearance, Wang Mang was even happier, because the more dissatisfied with this society, the more he would support his approach.
Wang Mang made up his mind about this.
"You must have just arrived here and have no place to live. There are still many idle guest rooms in the mansion below. If you don't dislike it, you can stay in the humble house for a while."
"This...is something bad, right?"
Shirai Tsuki pretended to be hesitant, and at the same time put his left hand under the table and touched the tie around his waist.
Wang Mang saw this action.
This made Wang Mang think that the other party wanted to refuse, but because he was short of money, he didn't know how to choose.
Wang Mang smiled slightly: "If you are worried about the cost in the future, you can rest assured. Although you don't have much money, you won't let your customers go hungry. I wonder what you want?"
Seeing that the situation was almost done, Shirai Yue stood up and clenched her fists with both hands.
"Then I'll bother Lord Wang."
After the meal, the two left the restaurant together under the envious eyes of the people around them.
Following Wang Mang, Bai Jingyue left the market area and came to a large mansion in the residential area. The plaque in front of the mansion reads [Wang Mansion].
I think this is Wang Mang’s mansion.
"Please, please."
Wang Mang led the way into the mansion.
Houses in the mansion are adjacent to each other, birds sing and flowers are fragrant, pavilions, towers, and streams of water. What a beautiful view.
"Mr. Wang's mansion is really elegant."
"Haha, you think that elegance is enough. Come, let me take you to your room."
This matter can actually be caused by the servants in the mansion, but Wang Mang attaches great importance to Shirai Yue. He knew very well how helpful a person who was known as the "Poet Immortal" would be to live in his mansion in the next period of time.
Halfway through the way, in the corridor of the courtyard, the two met a young man walking while holding a book.
"Ah, by the way, I forgot to say it."
Wang Mang pointed to the young man and said to Bai Jingyue: "In my mansion, there are many people who live here temporarily like you. This Chen family from Jingzhou is a person who loves reading. His name is Chen De. By the way, I don't know your name at this time? If you meet someone else in the future, you can introduce you to them."
Shirai's body shape paused.
After a while, Shirai Yue sighed quietly: "If you have to call me a name, here, my surname is Li."
That was the name that Shirai Shizuki had almost forgotten. It was a name that had been used for only a decade and was completely incomparable to the name [Shirai Shirai], which had been used for thousands of years.
But at this moment, Shirai Tsuki still reported this name. This name that made him sigh leisurely and missed a little.
"My name is Li Bing, and I am from Yangzhou. My name is...Shangyue."
"So that's it, Mr. Li?"
After learning about Baijingyue's surname, Wang Mangxun recalled that there were Li families in Yangzhou now. However, seeing Baijingyue's slightly sad look, he left first.
In this way, Shirai Yue lived in Wang Mang's mansion for the time being.
A few days later, when he felt that the time was almost the same, Shirai Yue used up the breakfast prepared by the servant, and grabbed one of the servants and asked where Wang Mang was.
"Master, I'm going to court meeting and I'll be back in about two hours."
After learning the news, Shirai Tsuki sat at the door and waited.
After a while, Wang Mang, who had returned from a distance with a gloomy face, changed his face and greeted him with a smile.
"I wonder if Mr. Li is used to living these days?"
"I can't sleep or eat."
"Oh? I don't know why? I'll punish them if the servants neglect you."
