The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

Du Rui still doesn't know that his good second brother has hated him at this time, and he is full of worry thinking about what to do so that he can get rid of the burden of the statement.

Baochai took the two little poems written by Du Rui and went out to find Du Gui. The next day, more visitors came to the door of Du's house. When they arrived at the door of Du's house, they were stunned.It turned out that there was a stone tablet erected on both sides in front of Du's house, on which was engraved a poem of Qijue.Unaware of the dream of spring grass in the pond, and the sound of autumn leaves in front of the steps.On the right side it reads: Three watch lights and five watch chickens, which is when the man is studying.Black hair doesn't know how to study early, but Bai Shoufang regrets studying late.

On the wall on the left side of the gate of the Du Mansion, there is also an inscription: The Baqiao Poetry Meeting the day before yesterday, talents gathered, and heroes arrived.Reckless, I swiped my pen to show my ugliness in front of me, and I was loved by all the people, who praised me endlessly, so that my reputation was spread in the imperial capital and chanted in the alleys.The kid is panicked, Yu Wen doesn't understand "The Analects of Confucius", the book doesn't understand the Five Classics, and he occasionally picks up clever words, like a blind man picking up pearls, and a foolish man's final song, this is not a boy with a beautiful chest.I regret that Meng Lang showed his ugliness to the front, and I am ashamed that all the adults have shown love to the latter.There are roads and diligence in the mountain of books, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning.In order to live up to your love, from now on, I will be behind closed doors to thank guests for studying hard. After I have achieved a small degree of learning, I will have a happy gathering with all my gentlemen and brothers.

At first, people read those two little poems, and saw that Du Rui actually preached to them in the tone of an old man, clearly trying to persuade them to learn, and they all found it funny.

But when they saw the article engraved on the wall, they all understood immediately. What Du Rui meant was clearly saying that although I have a bit of talent, my knowledge is still far behind, and now I can't even understand the Analects of Confucius.If you don't continue to study, and rely on writing those few poems to show off, you will become a mediocre person.So from today onwards, I will close the door to see no visitors, concentrate on reading good books, and only open the door to share my experience with you when I feel almost finished.

Of course, after reading it, people felt that Du Rui was being self-effacing. If even Du Rui could say that he was not very knowledgeable, then who else could really dare to call himself a genius!

However, these people didn't make the trip in vain. They had heard of Du Rui's superb calligraphy skills before, and they were called masters, but most of them had never seen it before. Those who came before had asked Du Rui for it, but Du Rui said it was an ugly word, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself, so he didn't give it.

But they also copied some of Du Rui's calligraphy in his spare time and brought them back, but there are still a few who have seen it, but now, those who think that Du Rui's calligraphy is already great, but they are just lying After seeing Du Rui's two poems and an article, people can't help but be amazed.

Du Rui's two poems used Huang Tingjian's style of writing, and the latter article used his favorite Yan Zhenqing's style of writing. Neither of these two people was born yet, so naturally no one knows their names. This kind of unique but beautiful calligraphy made some people feel itchy immediately, and they found ink paper to print the words on the stone tablet, and then left.

Do they still have the nerve to visit?One is not daring to delay other people's study, and the other is to see that other people write such good characters and famous sentences such as poems to encourage learning, and even think that I am not good at learning, so I study hard behind closed doors, so I am ashamed to take the opportunity to study outside. dangling in the name of?

Baochai saw through the crack of the door that those who came to visit gradually dispersed, ran to the study and smiled at Du Rui: "Young master's idea is really effective, when those people saw it, they all left!"

Hearing this, Du Rui raised his chest cheerfully and said, "Of course, I don't care who came up with the idea."

Daiyu, who was waiting on the side, also laughed when she heard the words, and said, "Young master, this slave finds that your brain is much smarter than ordinary people, but your face is also much thicker than ordinary people."

Du Rui was complacent after hearing the previous words, but the latter words made his face turn blue all of a sudden.Being so despised by a little girl, Du Rui couldn't help but feel ashamed no matter how thick-skinned he was.

Seeing Du Rui suffocating, Daiyu laughed happily again, covering her mouth, her waist was swaying and trembling like a flower, which made Du Rui stare blankly.

Without people's interference, Du Rui's life was finally clean. Except for Li Chengqian's occasional visit, the rest of the time, Du Rui was suddenly free and had nothing to do. They were all typed out, and if they didn’t make a career out of it, wouldn’t it be said that they were trying to gain fame? After thinking about it for two days, they suddenly announced to their family that they were going to practice in seclusion, and then they went to the study to concentrate on reading.

Du Rui's understanding of ancient prose is deeper and more objective than anyone in this era. After all, he has a thousand more historical experiences than modern people.However, there is still a lack of modesty and righteousness. Although Du Rui doesn't think much of these book-lost knowledge, but if he was born in this era, if he really didn't understand the "Analects of Confucius" and didn't understand the Five Classics, he still had the title of a wit on his head , Isn't it going to be laughed to death.

Seeing Du Rui working hard, Ma Shi and other women are very pleased, even Baochai is also very happy. As a member of Du Rui, everyone hopes that Du Rui will have a great future. In this era, if a commoner wants to stand out In other words, in addition to fighting for wealth and wealth with a knife and a gun on the battlefield, the only way left is the imperial examination.Although Du Rui is a descendant of the Duke of Lai, Mengyin's words will never be his turn. Even with the name of a noble son, he is no different from a commoner.

Du Rui was still a little confused about his future in this era before, but now that he was immersed in the sea of ​​books, especially through Li Chengqian's ability to see some ancient books from the past, Du Rui immediately found his spiritual sustenance and fell into it completely.

On this day, Du Rui was tired from reading, so he casually picked up the flute that had been left unused for a long time in the study.After a while, the melodious music filled the air, some beautiful, some sad, it was the famous song "Blessings of Love" from the previous life.

When Daiyu was in the study, she had never heard such a beautiful piece of music. She leaned against the door and was immediately fascinated by it.

While playing the tune, Du Rui was thinking about his past life experience.Thinking of the days when he was with his father, the famous mountains and rivers that the two fathers and sons walked together, and his father's earnest teachings to him, he couldn't help being fascinated.

"Master, are you crying!?" Daiyu stepped forward and wiped away the tears from the corners of Du Rui's eyes with a handkerchief.

"I just thought of something! Don't worry about me!"

When Baochai and Daiyu heard this, they both thought that although Du Rui was famous in Chang'an, he was just a ten-year-old orphan. When thinking of his life experience, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.

Du Rui also came back to his senses at this time, and the sadness in his heart dissipated, he said with a smile: "This young master plays this song, but it sounds good!?"

Daiyu nodded when she heard it, and said, "It sounds good! It sounds good! Young master, you are really a star of Wenqu, you write well, you write well, you even play the tune so well, the servant girl wanted to cry just now. Woolen cloth."

Du Rui smiled secretly in his heart, and thought: "The Butterfly Lovers" is a famous song that has caused a sensation in later generations, how could it be bad.

Afterwards, the days calmed down day by day, and there were still many people who came to visit Du's mansion, but they could only go to the door, silently read the Zheyin tablet, and then left quietly.As expected, Du Rui didn't leave the door, so he could read and write with peace of mind.It's not that he's quiet, there's nothing he can do about it, he's ten years old now, but he's already in his 20s mentally, he can't play the house-moving game with those kids, if he gets along with adults, it's fine once or twice, for a long time It is inevitable that smart people will doubt it.In a few more years, when I reach my teens, it can be explained by the precocious puberty of teenagers.Now it is estimated that people can only comment on it one by one-how wise and close to a monster!

Du Rui originally wrote that exhortation poem to thank guests behind closed doors, but he didn't want it to backfire. This made him more famous, and now people everywhere say that Chang'an has produced a child prodigy. Be nice, and be humble.

After Emperor Taizong knew about this, he just smiled, and said to Li Chengqian in private: "This son is resolute, and I can rely on him in the future!"
