Li Zhuer said: "Young brat, I will teach you how to speak." As if he was going to hit her, Pei Min hurriedly took her hand and said, "My dear, please don't do anything, I have something to ask of this master."
When Jiang Shuo saw Pei Min standing in front of the door, he had already guessed that he wanted to ask someone for something. But Pei Min was an official worshiper of General Zuo Jinwuwei. Why would he ask for something in such a humble manner? The owner of this house is so big that he doesn't even let him in.
However, Li Zhuer said confidently: "General Pei, don't be afraid. The master here will not give you the respect of others, but you will have to go out to greet my master when you see him." Li Zhuer is a daughter, and it is quite inconvenient to travel with Jiang Shuo, so Pretending to be Jiang Shuo's maid.
The child was lying on the ground and cursed: "Who knows you crazy woman? My master has to go out to meet your master's child in person, and he is not afraid of the strong wind blowing his tongue."
Li Zhuer flew up and kicked the young man on the abdominal pain point. The pain was so painful that the young man moaned repeatedly.
Li Zhu'er said: "If you talk dirty again, I'll kick your ribs." Although she was as delicate as jade, her temper was cold and fierce, and her face had an aura of majesty. He said in fear: "I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, grandma, please spare my life."
Li Zhuer said angrily: "Which one is your grandma!"
The boy quickly changed his words and said: "Fairy, please forgive me, female Bodhisattva, please forgive me..."
Jiang Shuo said: "Sister Zhu'er, if you have any assignments, just tell him and don't argue with a confused person."
Li Zhuer crossed her hands and pretended to be respectful and said, "I obey the young master's order." She turned to the young man and said, "Go and run an errand for your sister. Go to Chengfu Square in the north and ask Zhang Xu and Zhang Changshi to come over. .”
The boy was already in his twenties, older than Li Zhuer, but Li Zhuer claimed to be her sister. The boy did not dare to refute, but said with a grimace: "Zhang Changshi, who is a villain, can do this easily?" Can you please move?"
Li Zhuer said: "You just said that Jiang Shuo went up the river to invite him, and he will be there in a moment."
The boy wanted to retaliate, but Li Zhuer said: "Xi De Luo Su, don't you remember to hit him?" She said that she wanted to kick him again.
The boy was afraid that Li Zhuer would kick him again, so he turned over and ran away like a gust of wind. When everyone onlookers saw that Li Zhuer left the concierge boy in a few words, their curiosity became even more intense. They all gathered around and waited to see what was going on, but Li Zhuer glared angrily. He looked around and said, "What are you looking at? Let me scatter them all!"
Everyone in the audience had seen how powerful she was in beating the concierge. They immediately stepped aside, but refused to leave. They all stood and watched from a distance.
Pei Min said: "Little lady, are you telling the truth? I really have something important to ask of the master here, and I can't offend him easily. Moreover, Zhang Changshi is known as Zhang Dian, and his behavior is reversed. He only reported the name of Sui." Are you willing to come? Will it be useful if you come?" At this moment, the dignified general Pei Min seemed cautious and reserved.
Li Zhuer put away her fierce face towards Pei Min and said softly: "General Pei, don't worry, you are a member of the army and don't know about their calligraphy and painting circle. Zhang Changshi owes my master the favor of the boss, so I will tell you about it." He will never fail to invite you."
Pei Min thought to himself that Jiang Shuo was just a child servant, how could he have such great reputation? Jiang Shuo said, "Sister Zhu'er, do you know the owner of this place?"
Li Zhuer said: "Of course I recognize it. Young master, please be patient. The master will lower his rank to greet you soon."
Jiang Shuo knew that although Li Zhuer was young, he was actually mature and prudent and would never make irresponsible remarks, so he stopped asking any more questions and waited outside the door for a long time. Pei Min was uneasy, looking alternately at the house door and the square door. There were still boys and servants inside the house, but seeing Li Zhuer's fierceness, none of them dared to come out. They held sticks and poles inside to prevent her from rushing in.
Chengfufang is in Beicheng on the north bank of Luoshui River, but it is actually only four lanes away from Xiushanfang. After waiting for about half a meal, I heard a commotion outside the gate, but Zhang Xu rode a donkey and rushed in. At Fangmen, he whipped the donkey in a hurry, but he was not good at driving. He staggered around while riding on the donkey, his robe was loose and loose, and the little bun of poor hair on his head was also scattered, so he responded. The name "Zhang Dian".
Seeing that the donkey under his crotch was charging wildly with no intention of stopping, Jiang Shuo hurriedly opened his mouth and made donkey sounds. When the donkey heard the sound, he immediately stopped his madness and walked slowly to Jiang Shuo.
Zhang Xu said happily while getting off the donkey: "Looking back, can you still make donkey sounds?"
Jiang Shuo crossed his hands and said, "It's just a little trick, Zhang Changshi laughed at it."
Zhang Xu said: "Hey...how is this a trivial trick? Looking back, you are really quite the demeanor of a famous scholar in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. I admire Zhang Dian very much..."
He talked for a long time, but one foot was still hanging in the stirrup. Li Zhuer hurriedly stepped forward to help him down. Only then did Zhang Xu land on his feet, patted himself and asked Jiang Shuo: "Look, what are you doing?" Why did you invite me to Wu Daoxuan's house?"
Jiang Shuo didn't even know who Wu Daoxuan was, so he didn't know how to reply. He could only look at Li Zhuer, who said: "Zhang Changshi, this General Pei asked Master Wu for something, but Master Wu didn't let him." Come in."
Only then did Zhang Xu see Pei Min standing on the side. Pei Min was the general of the third-rank Zuo Jinwu Guard. Zhang Xu only led the governor from the seventh-rank Zuo, but he just bowed to Pei Min and didn't show much respect. , Jiang Shuo had already experienced Zhang Xuzhi's madness yesterday. It seems that a master calligrapher like him has always only been approached by high-ranking officials. He has seen many high-ranking officials and nobles, and he doesn't give a single thought to a warrior like Pei Min.
Zhang Xu said: "General Pei's request for Wu Daoxuan, what does it have to do with Suzhi?"
Li Zhuer said: "General Pei is an old friend of Young Master Jiang." She pointed to the seven-star sword hanging on the side of Jiang Shuo's saddle and said: "Do you think the seven-star sword Su Zhi is wearing is not General Pei's seven-star sword?"
Zhang Xu pouted his beard and said, "Hey...then what does General Pei ask Wu Daoxuan for?"
Pei Min saw that there seemed to be some truth in Zhang Xu's words, and hurriedly crossed his hands and said: "Pei Min is in mourning. My mother believed in Buddhism during her lifetime. She once visited the Luoyang Buddhist Temple and loved the sutras and murals painted by Wu Daoxuan the most. Min is willing to pay Wu Daoxuan a heavy coin to please her." Master Wu enshrined a mural in Tiangong Temple in Luoyang to help his mother, but Master Wu refused to paint for a long time and was not even allowed to see her. Pei Min had no choice but to wait here."
Zhang Xu grinned when he heard this and said: "Ah, this is not easy... General Pei, the murals in the temples you mentioned were all painted when he was still called Wu Daozi. Since the emperor gave him the name 'Daoxuan' , after he was appointed as a doctor of internal medicine, he said, "I won't paint unless there is an edict," but he hasn't painted a big wall for a long time."
Li Zhuer said: "Zhang Changshi and Young Master Jiang are just a first-level relationship. This General Pei has also been very kind to you."
Zhang Xu glared and said, "How can this happen? Xiaonizi is talking nonsense!"
Li Zhuer said: "Zhang Changshi, whose sword dance did you watch when you became a saint?"
Zhang Xu said: "Auntie Gongsun, there's no need to ask, aren't you here too? I've watched Auntie dance with a sword for thirty years, and it's only after I've been able to point it out in one go that my merits are complete..."
Li Zhuer added: "Then do you know who Gongsun's sword dance originated from?"
Zhang Xu said: "Who in the world doesn't know? General Pei is dancing with swords in Xihe... Slow down, slow down..."
Li Zhuer didn't say anything, but crossed her hands and gestured to Pei Min.
Zhang Xu said: "Yes, yes. Basically, General Pei is indeed kind to me, Zhang Xu, but this kindness must be repaid." After saying this, he rushed to Wu Daozi's door and smashed the door: "Open the door, open the door, quickly Go and report to Master Wu that Zhang Dian wants to see you."
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps inside the door, and sure enough, a middle-aged scribe in a long cloak came out. Jiang Shuo saw that the man was of medium build, with a small scarf on his head, well-proportioned facial features, and three locks of black beard. The most special thing was that A pair of eyes that are very expressive, somewhat like the poet Li Taibai.
As Li Zhu'er said, the man lowered his rank to greet Zhang Xu, bowed to Zhang Xu and said, "I don't know if Master is here, but Taoist disciple is not welcome at a distance. Please forgive me."
Jiang Shuo and Pei Min were both surprised. How could the painter Wu Daozi become the disciple of the calligrapher Zhang Xu? Zhang Xu saw the surprised expressions of the two of them and said: "When Daozi first came to Luoyang, he learned calligraphy from me. However, his calligraphy was not very good, but he was very talented in painting. He was famous for his paintings before he was twenty years old. Already famous all over the world."
Wu Daozi hurriedly said: "Master, where did you come from? If I hadn't practiced calligraphy with Master, I wouldn't have been able to understand the art of painting at such a young age."
Zhang Xu said: "Yes, you did get some benefits from me, but my calligraphy was not taught by Taishang Laojun. Tracing back to the source, you and I both benefited from General Pei."
Wu Daozi also wondered: "Why is this?"
Zhang Xu said: "Look, you learned my calligraphy and realized the art of painting, while I learned the art of calligraphy by watching Aunt Gongsun dance with a sword, but this Aunt Gongsun learned the swordsmanship of General Pei. You think the two of us are Didn’t they all benefit from General Pei?”
Wu Daozi said: "Zhang Dian, you have always been crazy, but what you said today is so precise. Do you make sense?"
Zhang Xu said: "Since you agree with this, please paint a picture for General Pei to express your feelings."
Wu Daozi said: "It's all right. It's just that the sage once decreed to Daozi, 'You can't paint unless there is an edict.' What can you do?"
Zhang Xu sneered: "You are still boasting in front of me. How dare you say that except for the sage who issued an edict, you have never painted for anyone else in Luoyang?"
Li Zhuer stepped forward and crossed her hands and said: "No painting is allowed unless there is an edict. It says that you can't paint it for people to see at will. However, the murals in Tiangong Temple are painted for the gods and ghosts to see the help of the underworld, praying for the deceased. I guess the saints don't know how to do it." Blame.”
Wu Daozi then said: "Okay, then Daozi will make an exception."
Pei Min was overjoyed when he heard this and folded his hands and bowed down, but Wu Daozi said: "I have never seen General Pei dance with a sword, but Zhang Dian said that I have benefited from you, so be it, please ask General Pei to dance for me, and I will dance with Pei." Painting a painting with the general's sword intention is a real benefit to General Pei."
Pei Min said: "What's so difficult about this? Pei Min will dance right now."
Wu Daozi said: "Come on, General Pei... let's go directly to Tiangong Temple in Shangshanfang. There are music monks, pens and ink, and fine wine. We invite General Pei to dance swords with music, and Daozi drinks and drinks. Isn't it beautiful?"
