Chapter 229: Iron Horse Glacier Comes to Dream (5000)(1/2)
The lyrics and music are similar in the world, but there are differences in the singing style, including the accent.
The soft language in Jiangnan is born with a graceful style. The northern singing style has a kind of charm, and it also has a vast and grand atmosphere. In Bianjing, it has both of them and can be popular.
The aunt on the stage sang very beautifully. Xu Jie ordered tea and snacks, and there was also a pot of old wine in Shanxi. In the Taiyuan Basin, Fen River is the main river, and Fenjiu is also a famous wine in the world.
Xu Jie didn't drink, and Yang Sanfat kept drinking.
Wenyuan Tower is not as good as brothels like Jiangnan and Bianjing. There are no tall buildings or elegant gardens in front and back. Instead, it has a bit of appreciation for both the elegant and the masses. This hall is like the main place to meet guests.
This Wenyuan Tower's guest reception model actually indirectly shows that the literary style of the border town is not as prosperous as that of the mainland.
But this Wenyuan Tower is also elegant, so poetry is naturally indispensable. Literature is always the main group of social entertainment consumption.
Groups of literati were scattered in the hall, and there were also some wealthy families. Shanxi has produced merchants since ancient times, which is more related to the geographical environment. Shanxi connects east and west, and is in the middle of the Central Plains and northwest. It is not far from the grassland. It is a good place for material exchange, that is, the place for business.
Xu Jie kept looking for his eyes, and he was listening with his ears pricked up.
Then he saw one person off the table, walked to the other person, bowed and said, "Brother Wang, I'm polite here!"
"Isn't this Brother Gao? I'm going to sit down quickly. I wonder how good I did in the spring exam this year?" Brother Wang was polite and honest, but he said something a bit like a gun and a stick. If he did well in the spring exam, he wouldn't have time to visit the brothel at home.
Sure enough, Brother Gao looked a little unfair when he heard this, and replied: "I just passed the exam last year. It is normal for me to not be able to go to high school this year's spring exam, but I didn't see Brother Wang in the capital this spring, which is a bit regretful."
Brother Gao really responded, thinking that this brother Wang should have a reputation as a juren, but this brother Wang did not go to the capital to take the exam.
Brother Wang didn't care and waved his hand and said, "You are not talented and knowledgeable. You can have a good reputation from Juren. You can also protect your family business. You pay less taxes and avoid losing your family business. It is also unnecessary to spend that money to rush to the capital to embarrass people. If you pass the Jinshi, don't think much. Let's see if your children and grandchildren will have this blessing in the future. You are a little self-aware."
This brother Wang has a good temperament and speaks a little self-deprecatingly.
At this time, Xu Jie's eyes were really focused on these two people, and he was also analyzing the relationship between them. It seemed that Brother Wang didn't like that Brother Gao so much, otherwise he wouldn't have just carried a gun and a stick in the first sentence, but he didn't have a face. He still smiled on the surface. However, Brother Wang had a good personality.
After Brother Wang finished speaking, Brother Gao laughed and said, "I'm not as good as Brother Wang. I always have to make a breakthrough in the capital. I'll also find a way. Maybe I'll be a Jinshi in the future, maybe I'll be lucky."
Brother Wang nodded, looked at Brother Gao with a smile, and nodded: "How about you sit down and have a few drinks together? I wish you a prize for your gold list!"
Brother Gao waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang for your kindness. Today, my friends gathered together, so I was rude to sit with Brother Wang. I would like to pay a few more cups later."
Brother Wang didn't try to keep him, so he bowed and saw Brother Gao return to his seat.
Just a normal greeting, Xu Jie seemed to have heard something, and his attention was on the brother Gao.
When the atmosphere of the banquet became popular, naturally some people had to drink and write lyrics.
Brother Wang seems to have a great status in this Bingzhou literary circle. He can't say that he has a good song in the praises of the crowd. However, he is not bad, and above average.
Xu Jie nodded when he heard this. This brother Wang has the identity of a juren, and has some talent, and deserves this juren.
The brother Gao who was paying attention to Xu Jie was not interested in this time, which made Xu Jie a little anxious. Xu Jie came to this brothel to handle the case, and there should be no shortage of literati and scholars in the brothel.
What Xu Jie is looking for is someone who is not worthy of fame and fortune. This is the beginning of the case. However, only Wang Gao, the juren who can determine his identity, was the other two. Wang Gao. The brother Wang Wen Cai was pretty good, so he could not become Xu Jie's target.
However, this brother Gao has been slow to write poetry, which makes Xu Jie a little difficult. It is impossible to say that others do not write poetry but do not have literary talent. This is a bit too far-fetched.
What Xu Jie thought was that he would find a suspect who cheated and start working, and then he began to follow the clues, and the case had a direction.
Xu Jie also thought that Brother Wang could ask Brother Gao to write lyrics, but he didn't want Brother Wang to speak either. He thought that Brother Gao still had some shame in his family, which was difficult to offend.
Xu Jie thought about it, then suddenly stood up, and shouted in a southern accent, "The Bingzhou literary world is like a person who is just a substitute. It's really a joke!"
Xu Jie's words shocked the crowd. The literati in the audience were all glaring at him with contempt and glaring. Even the singing in front of him stopped. Xu Jie's words were too abrupt.
The king even stood up, looked at Xu Jie, and pointed: "Who dares to speak out loud here?"
"Xu Wenjin in Huaixi is here. I, Xu Wenjin, is in Huaixi. I am so big that I want to be a scholar but I cannot get it. I don't want this juren from Bingzhou, but they are just ordinary people. How unfair?"
Xu Jie said something, and the people around him were stunned, but they didn't know when Xu Jie became Xu Wenjin and when he was not even a scholar. However, Yun Shuhuan laughed and saw that his young master suddenly became an acting player, it was really funny.
Brother Wang was furious when he heard this and said disdainfully: "Xu Wenjin, Huaixi, is such a big tone. What kind of great work do you have? Why not compete with us and other scholars in Bingzhou, and see if your literary talent is worthy of your tone!"
Xu Jie nodded: "Okay, let you Bingzhou scholars have a long experience today. I have a masterpiece that I never show you easily. I know there are two juren present. This brother Wang just wrote a lyrics, which is just ordinary. The lyrics of the priest cannot be expressed, and let the priest also give a song. Let you see my masterpiece again!"
When Brother Wang heard this, he was not afraid and said, "The article just now was just a casual work. Xu Wenjin, you can publish one, and I will compete with you again."
Xu Jie obviously had prepared a speech and replied: "Let the high-ranking man come out first. I will come out. If Brother Wang is not convinced, it will be okay to publish another article. This is fair!"
At this time, the whole audience was full of anger, and everyone focused their eyes on the two juren, which was quite a bit like a common hatred for the enemy.
"That's true, Brother Gao, please fill in a song." The king probably had no expectations for Brother Gao, but he was confident. It would be okay to ask Brother Gao to try the depth of the water.
The brother Gao felt a little embarrassed. Looking at the people around him, he hesitated a little.
Xu Jie immediately stirred up the flames: "The juren from Bingzhou cannot even write the words, which is really ridiculous!"
When everyone heard this, they were furious and someone said, "Brother Gao, how can a person from another place behave like a shameless person here!"
"Brother Gao, let's call this Huangkou child acquaintance and also compete for some face for my Bingzhou literary world."
Even Brother Wang also said: "Brother Gao, for you, I'm here, just write the lyrics. Today, you have no titles, and you can take a song to show you a good lyrics in Huaixi."
The juren named Gao thought for a while, finally waved his hand and said, "Look at my masterpiece!"
Xu Jie was waiting to see too.
The juren surnamed Gao really started: "In spring tour, peach blossoms are blowing all over his head. Who is the young and romantic family upstairs? I plan to marry her for a lifetime. Even if she is abandoned ruthlessly, she cannot be ashamed!"
"Okay, good words!"
"Brother Gao is a talented person! The song "Seeing the Emperor's Country" is really good!"
The audience applauded, this word is really good!
Xu Jie frowned when he heard this, and even the brother Wang frowned when he heard this.
Everyone looked at Xu Jie, waiting for this shameless outsider to start writing lyrics. This song "Si Di's Country" is about to win.
Xu Jie looked at everyone's eyes, bowed his hand and said, "Everyone, I've said goodbye!"
Xu Jie left as soon as he finished speaking. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and headed towards the gate. Xu Niu and Xu Hu got up and chased after him. Yun Shuhuan and Yang Sanpang looked at each other a little.
Today, Xu Jie seems to have taken the wrong medicine, which is a bit abnormal...
Xu Jie was at the gate and the four of them followed out, and they heard the burst of laughter in Wenyuan Tower!
"Today, Brother Gao really has a face for my Bingzhou literary world!"
"Yes, it's really a relief to teach this child from another place to cover his face and run away!"
"Today's events should be brought into a good story, so that people can know that Bingzhou is also a place where literary style is prosperous!"
...
Praises and laughter, holding people to their hands, and said, "Arbitrary works, random works, you have been awarded too much, you have been awarded too much!"
Only Juren Wang's face was not so happy. I don't know if it was because he was stolen or why, Juren Wang looked frowning.
Yang Sanpang, who was out of the door, followed Xu Jie's footsteps, then laughed and said, "Scholar, Yuan Dao, you have times of being defeated, haha..."
Yun Shuhuan was also puzzled and said, "What's wrong with this today?"
Xu Hu was considering Xu Jie wholeheartedly and answered for Xu Jie: "Young Master probably was tired from traveling for several days and his thoughts were confused, and he just asked the man to take advantage of the loopholes. When the young master was not so tired, such lyrics were just taken with him!"
Then he looked at Xu Jie with a serious look and turned his head, "Hu Zi, wait here, wait until the juren named Gao comes out, follow him and see where he lives!"
Xu Hu understood, his face turned grim, and he said, "Well, young master, this person is really hateful. Killing him is not enough to relieve his anger! I'll stare at it now!"
Xu Hu really helped Xu Jie think about it. What Xu Hu understood was that Xu Jie was embarrassed and wanted to seek someone to take revenge. Xu Jie was embarrassed, just like Xu Hu lost himself, and he felt that only after revenge could he relieve his anger.
Xu Hu's thoughts may be a little...
However, Xu Jie hurriedly said, "Don't move him, just find his house!"
Xu Hu nodded and turned around and left.
Yang Sanpang laughed again: "Duke Chuanlu, he is angry and angry and wants to kill people. He is a bit like Ershou in this way!"
Xu Jie looked at Yang Sanpang's teasing and saw Yun Shuhuan's appearance again. He remembered Xu Hu's words. He slapped his forehead and said with disgust: "What do you think? I just heard the song "Si Di Township" and I felt familiar with it. I couldn't remember it at first. I realized it was a song of my predecessors after listening to it. The Gao Juren changed a few words and read it as his own."
Yun Shuhuan understood, but said again: "Then why not expose him?"
Xu Jie smiled and shook his head: "Just achieve your goal, just be happy if he is happy."
The song "Si Di's Hometown" is a poem by Wei Zhuang in the late Tang Dynasty. When Wei Zhuang was still in his seventies, he briefly served as the prime minister of Former Shu among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms when the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and served for three years. Wei Zhuang was also a descendant of Wei Yingwu. Wei Zhuang was naturally not a very famous person. He was born in troubled times and watched the Tang Empire demise. Therefore, Wei Zhuang's poems are not so famous compared to many famous masters.
This person is good at choosing. The original word should be: On a spring trip, apricot blossoms are blowing all over his head, who is young and romantic in the street? I plan to marry my body and rest for a lifetime. Even if I am abandoned ruthlessly, I cannot be ashamed!
A few words have been changed in the first verse, but a few words have not been changed in the second verse.
Even Xu Jie Chuyi didn't hear it yet, and then he remembered it. Everyone in the audience probably saw through Xu Jie and the Wang Juren who looked bad.
Obviously, the goal Xu Jie was looking for was found.
The goal was found, and when Xu Hu came back, he found out all the names of this person. Gao Juren was named Gao Jiang. His ancestors in his family had been named Jinshi. That was seven or eight generations ago. The Gao family was also a wealthy family in Bingzhou City. Apart from one or two generations, they could always produce a Juren. In this way, the family business was getting bigger and bigger.
If there are books that record Wei Zhuang’s poems, this family cannot be an ordinary family.
Xu Jie learned about the news, but did not move. Instead, he stayed in the city overnight and headed to Datong Mansion early the next morning.
The war in the past took place in Datong. At that time, the general of Datong also had a surname, Gao. In Shanxi, Gao seemed to be a big surname.
Xu Jie has always thought of going to Datong to see him, because more than 200 people died in the Xu family, all of whom were in Datong, and Datong was also the garrison of the Xu family's army in the past.
Xu Laoba was really excited, and there was also a hint of sadness in his excitement.
He also pointed to Xu Jie at the intersection from time to time and said, "To the left, there is a river called Cangtou River. If you can get everything, there is also a Great Wall. Come to the Great Wall, it is the grassland."
