The Tianque Mountain Elegant Gathering was extremely prosperous for a while. Xie Daoyun, who had passed away from his hairpin, was there, but he felt lonely as never before——
Tianque Mountain has a unique mountain shape, shaped like a pair of cows riding on two horses, commonly known as Niu Shou Mountain. The mountain is rich in pine, bamboo and peach trees. In late spring and March, the mountains and fields are lush and green, with peach blossoms in full bloom, colorful flowers, and steaming clouds.
Jiankang celebrities headed by Wang Xizhi and Xie Wan visited the mountain scenery. After completing the work of repairing the evil spirits, they sat on the rocks on the banks of the small stream that had been arranged in advance. They filled the lacquer cups with wine and placed them on the winding water.
If there are many obstacles in the cup, whoever the cup stops in front of will drink wine and compose a poem.
There are many wonderful pines in Tianque Mountain. The title of today's poem is "Ode to the Pines". Xie Daoyun and his two cousins Xie Lang and Xie Shao were sitting one after another. They saw the lacquer cup about to stop in front of Xie Shao. Xie Shao had not yet finished a good sentence.
With a slight kick, a pebble fell into the water, and the lacquer cup swung open and landed in front of Xie Daoyun——
To participate in the gathering, both young and old are required to write poems. In the Lanting gathering in Kuaiji in the ninth year of Yonghe, Wang Xianzhi's youngest son, Wang Xianzhi, was only ten years old. He participated in the gathering with his father and elder brother and also wrote a poem. Therefore, Xie Daoyun could not do what he did last time.
The Situ Mansion watched Chen Caozhi's argument and it was hard to keep a low profile behind his uncle Xie Wan's death.
When Xie Wan introduced Xie Daoyun to Wang Xizhi and others, he said that he was a distant relative of the Xie family, a native of Shangyu, with the surname Zhu and the first name Xie and the courtesy name Yingtai. Lu Qin who attended the gathering recognized this Zhu Yingtai, while Lu Na had heard of Zhu Yingtai.
The name of Zhu Yingtai is known to have studied in the Xu Academy in Shizishan. Others have never heard of Zhu Yingtai. They see that he is thin in stature and applies powder and incense. His appearance is good, but his talent and learning must be limited. Otherwise, why
Obscurity!
Xie Daoyun appeared as Zhu Yingtai. Except for his outstanding performance when he was with Chen Caozhi in Wujun, he did not want to attract attention. Today, he attended the Tianque Mountain Elegant Gathering. He came here for Chen Caozhi.
She had long thought that if she wanted to compose poems, she could just write a poem to pay off the blame, but she felt melancholy when she didn't see Chen Caozhi, and others obviously didn't value her. Xie Daoyun couldn't suppress her aloofness, and she was unwilling to be a lifelong confidant
The so-called talented woman in the novel is determined to show off her talents and let the celebrities in Jiankang know Zhu Yingtai from now on——
Xie Daoyun raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, chanting in pure Luoyang pronunciation:
"Looking at the pines on the mountain from a distance, they cannot wither in the middle of winter.
I would like to swim down and take a rest, and look at the thousands of rivers.
He couldn't rise in leaps and bounds, so he stopped until Wang Qiao came.
I am not with you at this time, and the great fortune is flying."
As soon as Xie Daoyun's heavily nasal Luosheng chant came out, Wang Xizhi, Wang Biaozhi, and Wang Tanzhi all clucked their heads and marveled in their hearts. When it comes to Luosheng chants, Xie Anshi ranks first, but Zhu Yingtai has pure pronunciation and a very nasal accent.
With Xie Anshi's elegance, I am even more amazed when I carefully read his poem about pine trees. This poem about pine trees seems to be imitated from Ji Kang's "Poetry of Wandering Immortals".
Compared with Ji Kang, who sought immortality, he showed a more active Confucian approach to the world. Judging from this simple and solemn poem, which washes away the beauty of the boudoir, who dares to say that this poem was actually written by a woman!
Wang Xizhi praised the verses, praised the poems, and said to Xie Wan: "Brother Wan Shi, your nephew is very talented. This Luo Shengyong was taught by Brother An Shi himself, right? Why has such a young Junyan never heard of it before?"
Am I ignorant and ignorant?"
Xie Wan was a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that his niece Xie Daoyun would show up at the gathering. Didn't he agree in advance that it was just a matter of coping? However, Wang Xizhi praised him so much, so Xie Wan naturally wouldn't be displeased and said vaguely: "Yingtai sincerely
He was taught by my brother An Shi when he was young. He had never left Dongshan before and only came to Jiankang from Kuaiji this month."
Wang Xizhi smiled and said: "Very good, it seems that Yingtai's nephew has become a blockbuster without singing." He asked Xie Daoyun: "What kind of code is he good at?"
Xie Daoyun was not modest either, and said loudly: "It is impossible to read all the Confucian and Mystical classics."
Everyone on the bank of Qushui let out a chorus of exclamations and laughter.
Wang Xizhi smiled and said: "Since you are both knowledgeable in Confucianism and Mystery, let's ask my nephew to try Zhuangzi's Xiaoyaoyou."
Xie Daoyun immediately spoke eloquently, analyzed thousands of words, was good at comprehensive discussions, and had novel principles——
Everyone was shocked. They had just smiled and thanked Daoyun for his arrogance. Now they all looked at this handsome young man with admiration.
Wang Xizhi sighed and said: "After I ceased to be an official, I heard about this theory of freedom and freedom. Everything is suitable for its nature and not freedom. Only when you have no desires can you be free and happy. This is a wonderful theory!" He also asked: "Is my nephew good at writing?"
After only one glass of wine, Xie Daoyun seemed to be drunk, and said in a rather maniacal manner: "I am very good at seal script, official script, and regular script."
Wang Xizhi laughed loudly and said: "Young people should be ambitious as they should be." He ordered someone to bring the small case and paper, ink, pen and inkstone.
Xie Daoyun didn't refuse. He first wrote the poem about the pine trees just now in the Han Dynasty style of "Cao'e Stele", and then wrote Ji Kang's "Poem of Traveling Immortals" in Xie An style running script:
"Looking at the pine trees in the mountains and the lush green valleys. How high up do you think you are? I am independent and unparalleled. I would like to travel down there, but the road is blocked. Wang Qiao abandons me and rides on the clouds and rides six dragons. Floating and playing in Xuanpu, Huang
We meet on the old road. Teach me the way of nature. I feel as open as a child. I collect medicine from the corner of Zhongshan Mountain and take it to change my appearance. The cicada sheds the filth and tiredness and makes friends with Bantong. I play Jiu Shao in front of the wine table. How can I sing the song of Ya? I grow up with the common people.
Farewell, who can see his trace?"
The two poems were passed around to everyone, and they all praised Zhu Yingtai's calligraphy for its purity, elegance, and impressiveness.
Wang Xizhi sighed and said: "I thought that Chen Caozhi was already an outstanding figure in the landscape of Wuzhong. I never thought that there would be a talented person like Yingtai's nephew. It's really gratifying. Brother Anshi and Brother Wanshi have taught me well."
People passed around Chen Caozhi's poem "Maimai Shiyun" to everyone, and they all admired it. Some people said that Chen Caozhi and Zhu Yingtai were both great and bright for a while -
The famous scholar Yuan Dan, the governor of Situ Mansion, wanted to recruit talented people for the King of Kuaiji, and asked: "What plans does Yingtai's nephew have for his future when he comes to Beijing?"
Xie Daoyun said: "My nephew is already twenty years old and is still unmarried. He must first consider marriage before discussing anything else."
Xie Wan, Xie Lang, and Xie Shao were all stunned, not understanding what Xie Daoyun wanted to do!
Wang Xizhi smiled and asked: "Is my nephew interested in someone?"
Xie Daoyun replied: "Yes, she is my cousin Xie Daoyun. I know that my cousin has been talking about choosing a son-in-law. I want to win the argument against my cousin and then marry her."
Everyone was in an uproar and extremely surprised when they heard Zhu Yingtai, who relied on his talent and unrestrained spirit, say again: "From now on, I will take my cousin's place to answer the arguments from all sides. If any young and handsome man can convince me in the arguments, I will go back to Dongshan."
Live in seclusion and never marry."
Yuan Tong, Yuan Dan's son, and Yuan Zicai whispered to Wen Lin beside him: "This man is really arrogant. We will argue with him someday and drive him back to Kuaiji."
Wen Lin was more cautious and said: "This Zhu Yingtai dares to say this, he must be a great talent. Listen to his carefree talk, he is no match for you and me."
Yuan Tong was very dissatisfied with Zhu Yingtai's blunt statement that he wanted to marry Xie Daoyun. The Zhu family in Shangyu was just a second-class noble family. He had never heard that the Xie family in Chen County and the Zhu family in Shangyu were related by marriage, but this was what Xie Wan said personally, and Yuan Tong could not believe it.
I don’t believe it, and Zhu Yingtai openly said that he wanted to marry Xie Daoyun, but Xie Wan just stared and didn’t reprimand him. Could it be that the Xie family would really marry Xie Daoyun to the Shangyu Zhu family? This is really unbelievable. The Langya Wang family and the Taiyuan Wang family
, the Yu family of Yingchuan, the Zhuge family of Langya, the Wen family of Taiyuan, and the Yuan family of Chenjun, so many outstanding figures from high-ranking families could not compare to such a descendant of the Zhu family?
"No, we must drive this Zhu Yingtai back to Kuaiji. If Xie Daoyun is allowed to marry him, won't all the high-ranking disciples in Jiankang City lose their face?"
Yuan Tong thought like this and said to Wen Lin: "It's better to invite Chen Caozhi out and let him argue with Zhu Yingtai——"
Wen Lin smiled and said: "Great idea! We have all seen Chen Caozhi's eloquence. It should be easy to win against Zhu Yingtai. Let these two inferior gentry children fight against each other. Their reputation is too great, which makes it look like I
It’s too late to wait.”
Yuan Tongtong: "Chen Caozhi is still humble. This Zhu Yingtai is too arrogant. Moreover, Chen Caozhi is pursuing a girl from the Lu family. There is no conflict with us and other Nandu nobles."
…
At the Tianque Mountain Elegant Gathering, Xie Daoyun became famous in one fell swoop. Wang Xizhi, Yuan Dan and other sages commented on Zhu Yingtai as: talented, simple and arrogant. From then on, no one knew about Zhuxie and Zhu Yingtai.
Xie Wan and his nephew returned to Xie's Mansion in Wuyi Lane. Xie Wanju sat on the bed with a solemn face and severely reprimanded Xie Daoyun for his nonsense.
Why! Ridiculous! Ridiculous, Zhu Yingtai marrying Xie Daoyun is simply ridiculous! In this case, how can you get married? Do you plan to live forever and thank your family? "
Xie Daoyun did not defend himself and bowed his head speechlessly.
When Xie An's wife Liu Dan heard about Dao Yun's training, she came to persuade her. She took Xie Daoyun back to the inner courtyard and asked about today's elegant gathering at Tianque Mountain. Xie's wife Liu Dan laughed and asked: "Yuanzi, what do you want to do?
Come out and let me help you with your advice?"
Xie Daoyun knew that her third aunt Liu Dan loved her the most, so she said: "Third aunt, I want to enter the official career like Ah Li as Zhu Yingtai."
This statement was truly shocking. Even though Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was well-informed and heroic, she was dumbfounded for a long time and said: "Yuanzi, you don't plan to get married?"
Xie Daoyun looked at the sunset in the west and thought to himself: "The leap failed to rise, and I stopped until Wang Qiao - Wang Qiao didn't treat me - Wang Qiao didn't treat me -"
Wang Qiao, the Immortal Prince Qiao Ye, "Nineteen Ancient Poems" says, "Immortal Prince Qiao is hard to come by." "The Biography of Immortals" contains: "Prince Qiao, Prince Jin Ye of Zhou Ling, is fond of playing the sheng.
Make a phoenix cry..."
In his poem about singing pine trees, Xie Daoyun expressed his longing and longing for the immortal Prince Qiao, and lamented that Prince Qiao was so elusive and unavailable, but it turned out that he was pining his longing for Chen Caozhi.
Faced with his aunt's questioning, Xie Daoyun said: "Everyone is different from me, so I will be independent for once in my life!"
Mrs. Xie Liu Dan was very determined when she heard her niece's words. She was wary. She didn't say anything at the moment. Instead, she wrote a letter at night and sent someone to Wuxing the next day to report the matter to Xie An. She also said frankly that Dao Yun liked Chen.
What do you think of Xie An? Dao Yun respects his third uncle Xie An the most.
