Chapter 25: The Meeting of Xianshan
Tang Song’s life has not looked very turbulent these days, but it is really very nourishing.
Unfortunately, such a good and nourishing day lasted for more than ten days. On the morning of that day, when Tang Song was fiddling with the vegetables in the vegetable bed in front of the door with barefoots, Zhang Qiyu, who had not seen him for some days, sent a servant Zheng Erzhongzhi to send an invitation to invite him to visit Xianshan together tomorrow.
If you want to talk about famous mountains in Xiangzhou, Xianshan is the best, and even Lumen is not as good as Lumen. This mountain is a typical example of "the mountain is not high, but it is famous if there are immortals." It is purely based on the scenery, at least in Tang Song's opinion, which is not as good as Lumen. He originally thought that he would wait to enjoy the Lumen Shengjing before visiting Xianshan, so he never went there. Now, there is no reason to refuse.
After receiving the invitation and sending the servant some money to leave, Tang Song returned to the vegetable patch. It was not easy to buy vegetables and vegetables on the mountain, and he didn't want Liu Mei to run far away to the mountain people's homes to buy vegetables and vegetables every day, so he simply planted them as a pleasure.
His skill in growing vegetables is naturally not as good as Zhuang Haishan. Fortunately, he is a leisurely task. He doesn't care about the original six vegetable fields, and he doesn't care about the fact that the vegetables are not growing well. How many vegetables can two people eat? All the rest is enough.
The drunkard cares not about wine, while Tang Song is not about food. In ancient times, scholars do not care whether they are outstanding or not, and they always boast about farming and reading. Farming and reading are so closely related, except for the needs of life, there is no lack of elegant interest in it. Tang Song believes that he cannot reach the state of Tao Yuanming, but since he has returned from time to time and has a scholar's sign, he does not mind experiencing the pastoral joy of "the path is narrow and the grass is long, and the dew is long in the evening, and the clothes are not worth cherishing, but the wishes are not contrary to each other."
Besides, he also had resentment in his heart. After traveling through time, he could not steal vegetables online, so why can’t we grow it yourself?
Tang Songwu plays vegetable beds, sweeps the courtyard with willow eyebrows, washes and cooks. This is a perfect life scene where men farm and women weave, and they are self-sufficient.
The next morning, when Tang Song went to Xianshan, there was a woman wearing a man's clothing. The social atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that in the future, there was nothing wrong with taking women out. Tang Song didn't even think that women should be locked at home and not going out. Since they were going out for fun, Liu Mei wanted to take her there.
In the Tang Dynasty, the idea was open-minded and the culture was open. It was reflected in the fashion of clothing. In addition to the great influence of Hu clothing, there was another one that women made men's clothing. This was either the novels of women dressed up as men's clothes, or women liked to wear men's clothes. The typical representative was Yang Guifei's sister, who was also very favored and prominent as Emperor Xuanzong.
Lady Guo State received the favor of the lord, and Ping Ming rode a horse into the palace gate. However, he thought the powder was dirty and the eyebrows were light. He looked at the supreme. Even such a beautiful woman who even used powder was dirty and she liked to wear men's clothing on weekdays. The Tang people were so weird, where could they make sense!
Liu Mei was already stunning, but when she put on men's clothes, she had red lips and white teeth, and her eyes were dazzling. Even Tang Song, a person who was used to being bombarded by beauties in the media in the later generations, was a little lost in his mind. What flashed through his mind was "Brokeback Mountain".
Fairy, what a fairy!
Looking across the river between Xian Mountain and Lumen, the distance is not close. Even though the two of them left early, it took a lot of time to cross the river and climb the Xian Pavilion at the foot of Xian Mountain.
There were only two men in the Dengxian Pavilion, who agreed to be a place to meet, waiting for the tea stove. They brought tea and glanced at the willow eyebrows from time to time. While saying that the young master and other guests had climbed the mountain in front of two incense sticks, they asked those who came later to go up the mountain by themselves, and then everyone gathered with the Tears Monument again.
Tang Song also knew from the servant who delivered the letter yesterday that Zhang Qiyu invited many people today, and all the scholars who built huts in Lumen Mountain were invited. There were so many people and it was impossible to wait one by one, so he didn't care much about this.
After eating tea in the pavilion, Tang Song took Liumei to the mountain. Xian Mountain is divided into three types: upper, middle and lower, and is actually not high. It is just that the terrain of the Han River, surrounding Xiangzhou, and backed by Dajing Mountain is really important. All the celebrities and poets from Xiangzhou who are local to Xiangzhou must come here for a trip or stay for a long time. Over time, they will leave countless victories. Among all these victories, the most memorable literati of later generations is naturally the Tears Monument.
Tang Song leisurely went up the mountain while explaining the allusion of the Tears Monument. Liu Mei, a native of Xiangzhou, naturally knew this, but she was unknown. Now she is reading and literacy, and she is even more curious about how it records it in books.
"During the Jin Dynasty, Yang Hu was in charge of the military affairs of Jingzhou, and his headquarters was in Xiangzhou. This man loved the joy of mountains and rivers. He would climb Mount Xian when the weather was sunny and would sing and chant all day long. But he often felt sad when he was in a good mood. The follower asked him why, and Lord Yang said, "There is a universe, and this mountain is here. From the origin of wise men, you can climb this far and wide. Many of you and you have lost all your knowledge, making people sad. If you know after a hundred years, your soul should still climb this.' After his death, his subordinates built monuments and temples in the place where he lived daily in the mountains, and sacrificed them every year. It is said that all those who saw it cried. Later, Du Yu, a famous scholar in the Western Jin Dynasty, named it the "Tearing Monument".
Liu Mei was confused when she heard this, "What does Lord Yang mean?"
"Now people do not see the moon in ancient times, but the moon once shines on the ancients. Lord Yang means that Xianshan will never change forever, but human life is too short, which means that the world is endless and life is ending."
"The world is endless, life is over." Liu Mei repeated this sentence in a low voice, and when she looked at the surrounding Xian Mountain and the vast Han River below the mountain, a feeling of sorrow that she had never felt but could not be explained.
Liu Mei's psychological manifestation naturally reflected between her eyebrows. Seeing this, Tang Song chuckled and said, "I am sad about spring and autumn. Only scholars can do this. Liu Mei is also a beginner."
"I only know a few words, what a scholar?" Liu Mei was a little embarrassed, "If you want to say that you are an authentic scholar, why don't you say Lord Yang's words have any sadness?"
"The world is infinite, life is limited, which is an unchangeable fact. Wouldn't it make you feel uncomfortable for this? Besides, it is precisely because life is short and life is better to be more exciting. Just like that meteor, although it is fleeting in the blink of an eye, it is more memorable than the countless stars in the sky that have been immortal for thousands of years. I'm afraid it would be meaningless if this person really wants to die with the turtle turtle for thousands of years?"
When scholars of this era go to Xianshan, they will think of Yang Hu's famous saying, and when they think of this, they will definitely feel sad and sad in spring. Tang Song, a different person who travels through time, laughs loudly when he talks about this, "Liu Mei, the key to life is the pleasure of life, live to live to live, and everything else is floating clouds. Your sorrow in spring is really worth it."
"Well said, Mei'er, when did you meet such a free and handsome young man? But you don't introduce it to your sister." Amid a string of natural charming laughter, a beautiful woman with luxurious clothes rushed up from the mountain road.
"Sister Xueqing, what a coincidence." Liu Mei was very happy to see this woman. She went up and chatted for a while. This was the first time Tang Song saw her like such a young daughter.
After Tang Song met with him, the three of them went up the mountain together. On the way, they slowly understood the origin of the woman. The name of this person was Xueqing, who was the eldest lady in the town building ranked first in the Kuaiyilou Flower Brand in Xiangzhou. Liu Shang had worked as a musician in Kuaiyilou, mainly for the big brand. Because of this relationship, Liu Mei met Xueqing three years ago, and was very caring for her in both music and music, singing and dancing. Although the two had a huge difference in their identities, their relationship was very good.
Today, she was invited by Zhang Qiyu to sing and dance to entertain the Xianshan meeting. She was not lazy and sleepy in the morning, so she came too late, but she happened to be following Tang Song and the others.
During the mountain trip, Xueqing turned her head to look at him from time to time, and then smiled and bit Liu Mei's ears, only talking about Liu Mei's face like the peach blossoms in March. Tang Song naturally knew what they were talking about, but this topic was not the turn for him to interrupt.
When it was about to reach the Tears Monument, there was a sudden turn on the road. Tang Song had just turned around and suddenly felt dark in front of him. He flashed and let him go and didn't hit him.
The opposite was two men in their thirties. They were not tall and strong, but they looked very strong. In the Tang Dynasty, men's clothes were still large, especially long gowns. For example, the shirts that Tang Song wore were typical "wide robe and sleeves". But the two people on the other side were strange. Although they were wearing ordinary shirts that scholars were used to, the sleeves were tightly tied, and even the corners of the shirt were lifted and stuffed into the tail of the waist.
Their purpose is naturally to act neatly, but wearing a shirt like this is really weird.
The two of them didn't expect to meet the scholar who was going up the mountain at this moment. When they looked at Tang Song's eyes, the man on the right looked at him coldly. Then the man on the left pulled him away quickly.
What a cold and sharp look! No one Tang Song has ever seen has such a look, no one of the people he has ever seen in later generations or after traveling to Tang.
Tang Song was stunned for a while, and when he looked up, he saw the two men coming out of the mountain road and crawling into the forest aside.
Look at the way the two of them wore just now, they must be not scholars. Why do they wear this way? And their strange eyes and strange behaviors, everything was really weird. Tang Song's doubts were kept until the tear-falling pavilion was put aside.
Although I had known that Zhang Qiyu had invited many people today, I didn't expect that he would make the scene so big. At this time, there were no less than a hundred people floating in the Confucian robe near the Tears Pavilion. These people either stood or sat, or sang alone or gathered to discuss something, which made the always quiet and lonely mountain a little bustling.
Tang Song was the latest, but it was the most eye-catching. This time, it was also considered a literary gathering. Those scholars immediately remembered the last Lumen Temple meeting when they saw him, as well as the song "Don't hate the unscrupulous matchmaker when you get married, you have a beautiful woman in the book", and the praise that Tang Song brought to the market because of this poem.
Since this poem was published that day, especially after the quotation of the Xiangzhou County Government's teachings, let alone the dispute between scholars, at least Tang Song has become the most well-known one in the market. When the people educate their children to study happily, they say that "a man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, and read the Five Classics diligently in front of the window", or "everything is inferior, but only reading is high." This scene has been seen a lot, but these scholars can be satisfied.
Scholars are all good-famous in the final analysis! Now this popularity has been stolen by one person, and the one who steals the popularity is a fool who they have always looked down upon. How can this make people think about it?
Therefore, as soon as Tang Song appeared, he immediately attracted a lot of attention. The originally noisy scene gradually calmed down. Everyone's eyes focused on him one after another. Thanks to the song "Yan Ruyu, Golden House", Tang Song actually became the focus of today's literary fair.
However, looking at the eyes of these scholars, it is really hard to be the focus of his character.
