Chapter 44: Snowy Night Dream
Li Qing'an rushed over, he turned over and dismounted, saluting Gao Lishi and Li Linfu, "Give up a ugly job!"
"What a high level!" Gao Lishi sighed softly, "Personnel Li opened my eyes today."
He glared at his polo team again and cursed: "A bunch of wine bags!"
After a second thought, a smile appeared on his face, "Person Li, can you play a few games for me in this polo competition?"
"It is a honor for Huyi to serve Gao Weng, but Huyi's name has been reported to the Ministry of Rites with the Anxi team."
"You don't have to worry about this." Li Linfu next to him smiled and said, "The rules are determined by people, and you can make some changes!"
Gao Lishi took a fancy to Li Qing'an, and he also smiled and said, "I won't make things difficult for you. Even if you participate in the Anxi team's game, you can just play for me in a few key games. As long as you are willing to come, I will pay you 2,000 guan in each game."
Li Qing'an's heart beat a little. This was a big deal! As long as he played five games for him, he would earn a fortune of 100 million yuan. However, he didn't know that Gao Lishi was a wealthy man in the world. Not to mention that Li Longji gave him countless wealth, he invited guests when he celebrated his birthday. The princes and nobles all ringed bells to celebrate his birthday. One bell had to offer a hundred guan. Those who flattered him beat more than twenty pestles, and at least ten guans. After a birthday party, his birthday gift would be tens of thousands or even more. Giving Li Qing'an a 2,000 guan a game was just a drop in the bucket for him.
Although the temptation of money is very great, it is not important at this time. Li Qing'an bowed again and said: "It is my honor to play for Gao Weng, Qing'an doesn't want anything."
Even Li Linfu stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything. He was so tall! This young man not only played well in the ball, but also was good at seizing opportunities. He first adhered to principles and refused to leave Anxi. Once he was adapted, he agreed generously and regarded money as dirt. If he got Gao Lishi as the backstage, would he still worry about the future and the money would not come?
Gao Lishi really liked him, so he nodded slowly, "Okay! I have recorded your favor. I won't give you a penny, but you have to accept the reward tonight."
He took out a jade token and handed it to Li Qing'an and said, "With this jade token, you can pay money in the account room, or you can open it in our mansion."
"Thank you, Mr. Gao!"

After saying goodbye to Gao Lishi's Mansion, Li Qing'an left with Li Linfu. Li Linfu called Li Qing'an to the carriage and smiled and said, "Personnel Li, you have to thank me tonight."
Li Qingan bowed and said, "I understand in my heart that if it weren't for the prime minister's recommendation, I wouldn't have this opportunity."
"You seized the opportunity yourself and had nothing to do with me, but you have to remember that no matter how Gao Weng treats you, you are all my Li Linfu's family. Do you understand?"
Li Linfu's eyes became stern, staring at Li Qing'an without blinking. Li Linfu originally wanted to use him to lead polo, but he didn't expect that Li Qing'an was favored by Gao Lishi, which was really beyond his expectations. He could see that Gao Lishi liked this young man very much. In addition, he had outstanding military achievements and his future prospects were limitless. This was a useful material, and he had to hold it firmly in his palm.
Li Qing'an felt like a mirror in his heart, and he immediately bowed and said, "The minister's words are remembered in his heart."
Li Linfu smiled, he nodded and said, "It's getting late, so you don't have to go back. Just take a night off in my house and go back tomorrow morning."

The snow had already stopped, and the bright colors of the snow made it difficult to fall asleep at night. The yard was silent. Only by chance, lanterns appeared quietly from the shadows of trees and walls in the distance, and then disappeared quickly. From beginning to end, no one walked into this small courtyard.
Li Qing'an walked in the yard bored and helplessly. This is Li Linfu's east room, which is separated from the inner house by a flower wall. The wall is covered with dense vines. It is winter, and the branches and leaves on the vines have withered. From the gaps between the vines, you can clearly see Li Linfu's inner house. Although it is called the inner house, it is still far from Li Linfu's residence. It is just a separate courtyard, as deserted as the guest room, as if no one lives there.
Li Qing'an exhaled a long breath into the sky and sorted out his troubled thoughts. On the first night of his visit to Chang'an, he came into contact with the second and third figures of the Tang Dynasty. In his childhood education, both Li Linfu and Gao Lishi were undoubtedly negative characters and treacherous officials who were despised. However, as he grew older, he began to slowly realize that history has been worn too much, confused by unofficial history, and three large-scale tampering with history since the Ming and Qing Dynasties have made it difficult for later generations to see the truth.
For example, Gao Lishi's clown mainly comes from Lishi's boots in Li Jun's "Miscellaneous Records of Song Window". Regardless of whether Li Jun has detailed historical materials, there is a problem at the beginning. "Kaiyuanzhong", Li Bai came to Beijing in the first year of Tianbao, so what does it have to do with Kaiyuan?
Moreover, the article repeatedly mentions Taizhen Concubine, which is even more absurd. Yang Yuhuan entered the palace in the 28th year of Kaiyuan and became a monk on the second day of the first lunar month of the 29th year of Kaiyuan. His name was Taizhen. Taizhen was the Taoist name instead of the concubine. Yang Yuhuan always secretly accepted into the palace as a female Taoist priest. How could he show up in public and lie in his father-in-law Li Longji's arms to accept Li Bai's poems?
It was not until five years later that Prince Shou Li Mao married the new concubine and officially broke off the relationship between Yang Yuhuan, that Yang Yuhuan was reborn and was named the Imperial Concubine.
Even if Yang Yuhuan accepted Li Bai's poems as a concubine and was so noble that Gao Lishi was so noble, how could Li Longji allow him to take off his boots for a Hanlin worshiper? Take a step back and even if Gao Lishi takes off his boots, he holds a grudge and makes a sarcastic statement in front of Yang Guifei, how can outsiders know?
Today he saw the real Gao Lishi. From the simple conversation between him and Li Linfu, Li Qing'an knew that Gao Lishi was definitely not as simple as a jester.
At this time, a melodious sound of piano suddenly came from the sky. In the empty snowy night, like the sound of nature. Before he knew it, Li Qing'an was attracted by the sound of piano. The sound of piano was like a cry, as if telling the melodious heart song of a woman. The sound of piano was sometimes like a spring spring, as if people saw a girl dancing with flowers in spring. Her appearance and moon make people unable to tell whether the flowers turned into people or people turned into flowers; the sound of piano was sometimes low and sad, and the girl seemed to wander alone by the water, and a clear moon was her lonely eyes; the sound of piano was sometimes like thousands of horses galloping, passionate blood, making Li Qing'an seem to return to the vast and magnificent Anxi. He rode his war horses on the boundless fields, crossed the grassland, passed through the Gobi Desert, bathed in the fiery red of the sunset, and went to the sky to find the hometown of the setting sun.
"Okay!" Li Qing'an blurted out, the sound of the piano stopped suddenly, and a low scream came from the next door.
Li Qingan rushed towards the flower wall almost without hesitation. Through the dead branches and vines, he saw a woman in white clothes, with a graceful figure, hurriedly walking into the house, with a maid following behind with a Qin in her arms.
"Please wait a moment, girl!" Li Qingan shouted in a low voice.
The girl in white hesitated for a moment, and Li Qingan said again: "Miss, please continue to play, girl, and you will never be disturbed."
The girl in white finally walked back to the room, and the door creaked and closed it gently.
Li Qingan couldn't help but feel a little depressed. This was the most beautiful piano sound he had heard since he entered the Tang Dynasty. The breeze and bright moon, and the sound of everything was silent on the snowy night. Only then could he hear the piano sound played with his heart. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by his reckless applause. He watched for a long time, and the courtyard next door was still silent, and there was no longer the figure of the girl in white.
At night, Li Qing'an had a dream. The sound of the piano seemed to come again in the dream. The girl in white danced lightly by the water, with long sleeves in the sky, and her dancing clothes were flying, just like a fairy in the moon descending on the earth. He seemed to hear the sound of the piano again in a daze. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was a dream or a reality.
