When he was in Yangzhou, Fu Xie stayed in the brothel and made good friends with the ladies of the brothel. It can be said that he loved their lives and knew their personalities very well. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a close friend.
Of course, if you and the brothel lady are familiar with each other and become friends, there will be no vulgarity or vulgarity. Sometimes you will not be rude if you say something too outrageous. Friends will be more casual and do not need to be restrained.
The premise is that you must first become her guest before you can become a friend. If the brothel lady is unwilling to see you, how can she possibly become a friend.
Tantai Wenwang listened very seriously and nodded, "According to what you said, it is indeed not simple. How do you talk about allusions? Please teach me."
Xie Fu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Let's do it this way. You become the Peony Lady, and I will demonstrate to you. What will the Peony Lady usually say to you when she sees you?"
Tantai Wenwang immediately said: "Ms. Peony often asks me to compose poems on the spot."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Okay, if she asks you to compose a poem, just compose a poem. Wouldn't you be led by her? Even if you really compose a good poem, you will only get a compliment from her. She doesn't know what she has experienced."
You must have become insensitive a long time ago. She asked you to write a poem, but you didn’t do it.”
Tantai Wenwang asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Tell poetry, tell famous anecdotes about poetry. For example, you can recite a famous line related to this scene at this time, to use the scenery to blend feelings, and to use the poem's expression. You can also tell allusions to poems, such as "Seven Steps"
, "Seven Steps of Talent", using this to talk eloquently is much more interesting than writing a poem."
Tantai Wenwang said excitedly: "It makes sense, so you don't have to worry about running out of things to say." Then he asked: "Ms. Peony said that I am talented, how should I respond?"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "To say you are a talented person, you can talk about the allusion of "Eight Dou Talents". There is only one stone in the world, Cao Zijian has eight dou's, Xie Kanggong has one dou, and everyone in the world shares one dou. How can I dare to call you a great talent?
, you can blame Lady Peony for saying the wrong thing, and you can make her drink a drink as a penalty. What you said is reasonable, and she will definitely accept the punishment."
Xie Fu continued: "The brothel lady can't hold it all the time, otherwise she will become distracted and not take you seriously."
"She drank the fine wine, so you can mention the allusion to the wine. Since she accepted the punishment, she would drink it all in one gulp. You can just say that she only knew how to accept the punishment and did not know how to drink. She swallowed everything in the cup without tasting the aroma of the wine.
, it’s a waste of time to go through the trouble of making wine first, and punish her with another drink.”
Tantai Wenwang laughed loudly: "It's even better."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "This time she must taste it carefully and slowly. You can also say that wine has the name of Huanbo. It can relieve worries and relieve worries. It needs to be drunk happily. Madam Peony, you are so coquettish. Aren't you happy? You deserve to be punished."
That’s it.”
Tantai Wenwang listened with rapt attention, and Xie Fu said with a smile: "If this cup is punished, Mrs. Peony will definitely be angry and annoyed. She will want to make things difficult for you and find some ground for you."
Tantai Wenwang was full of expectations: "Then how should I deal with her?"
Xie Fu raised his hand and said: "No! You should let her go now. Just follow her wishes and admit defeat. At this time, you can show off your uneducated character of Mr. Tantai. Anyway, you just admit defeat and drink.
You offended her once before, and now she must think that you intend to be humble."
Tantai Wenwang laughed loudly: "Absolutely."
Xie Fu continued: "Ms. Peony has won too much, and she will feel sorry for herself. She only feels that she owes you and misses you. At this time, if you are too drunk and talking nonsense, she probably won't blame you. Instead, she will look at you.
If you lose your temper after drinking, you might feel pity for him."
Tantai Wenwang said excitedly: "Thank you, Fu, I really admire you. You are really terrible! If you were born into a wealthy family, I'm afraid you would be a master of hunting for women."
Xie Fu said: "Then I will tell you more anecdotes about famous people. Listen to the allusions. Maybe you can come in handy."
Tantai Wenwang nodded with a learning attitude.
Xie Fu saw that Tantai Wenwang was still holding a pen in his hand and had forgotten to put it down since he came in. He smiled and said, "Then I'll start with the book hanging on the horn..."
This horn hanging book talks about the diligence and value of reading.
Xie Fu started from hanging books on horns to thorns, from thorns to hanging one's head to study hard, to gathering fireflies, borrowing the light from the wall, reading in the snow...
Xie Fu was very knowledgeable and well-read, so he picked up these allusions at his fingertips and cited them very naturally and without any stiffness. Tantai Wenwang was fascinated by them.
What's even more valuable is that when he talks eloquently, he has a clear and strong temperament from the inside out.
Tantai Wenwang kept looking at Xie Fu. He was completely attracted by Xie Fu's demeanor. He admired and admired him in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh, if I could be as elegant as Xie Fu, Lady Peony would be impressed by me.
One spoke eloquently, the other listened carefully and attentively, and the two of them suddenly lost track of the passage of time.
Near noon, Butler Kong specially prepared a banquet to treat this great Mr. Xie. When he walked to the corridor, he was attracted by the sound of conversation coming from the study.
Although Butler Kong was not highly educated and could not quite understand what Mr. Xie was talking about, from his eloquent rhythm, he could fully feel how knowledgeable and talented Mr. Xie was.
But those old gentlemen in the past, without saying a word or two, would always pause for a moment, think for a while before continuing. Such a comparison would make a judgment.
Butler Kong came to the door. The two people in the study were so absorbed that they didn't notice Butler Kong's arrival at all. Butler Kong didn't dare to disturb them and watched quietly.
I saw the young master listening attentively and looking at Mr. Xie without blinking. He was a good student who was serious and eager to learn.
Butler Kong had never seen such a quiet and studious young master. He was extremely happy and thought to himself: "If the young lady were here at this moment and saw this scene, she would definitely be overjoyed."
For the sake of the young master, the young lady has worked hard, but has achieved little results. She has been worried about this, and it has become a knot in her heart. Now she no longer has to worry about the young master. In just a few days, the young master has been so surprised.
The changes are truly incredible.
Mr. Xie is truly a god!
Butler Kong regarded Mr. Xie as a god in his heart. What does it mean to be knowledgeable? Mr. Xie is a man of great knowledge.
I have never eaten pork, and I have never seen a pig running. With this demeanor, this eloquence, this knowledge, and this charm, he is a gentleman with a great education. It is hard to believe that he is still so young.
Butler Kong stood at the door and listened, unknowingly being attracted by what Xie Fu said. He felt that what Mr. Xie said was simple, easy to understand and clear.
But those old gentlemen in the past often kept their words in vain, which made him, an old man with little education, sound uncomfortable.
He used to feel that reading and writing were an uncomfortable task, which is why the young master was so resistant. But now it seems that he has not met a good teacher. Reading and writing has become a joyful thing for Mr. Xie.
