Chapter 1018 Dream Poetry

Su You shook his head and said: "Those just mentioned are all assumptions. You must not know about the great kindness the Queen Mother has shown to our Su family."

Then he told the two of them the experience of that night, and everyone was filled with emotion.

Su Shi then recalled: "By the way, when I was in Wutai, one night the dusk drum had already been beaten, and I was about to go to bed when I suddenly saw a person walking into my house."

"The man didn't say a word. He threw a small box on the bed opposite to use as a pillow and fell asleep."

"I thought he was a prisoner, so I left him alone. After writing the confession, I lay down and fell asleep."

"Probably... around the fourth watch, I felt someone pushing my head. I opened my eyes drowsily, but it was that person who said to me: 'Congratulations! Congratulations!'"

"I turned over and asked him what he meant. He said: 'Sleep peacefully and don't worry.' After that, he took the small box and left mysteriously. I still can't understand it."

Su You smiled and said: "That day, it wasn't just you, my brother, and I were surrounded by such a person. This is because the officials did not believe what the admonishers said, so they secretly sent the eunuchs from the palace to observe us.

"

"Seeing that your breathing was thunderous, he went back and reported to His Majesty that you were sleeping very deeply and peacefully. His Majesty knew that there was nothing wrong with you."

Su Shi was very curious: "Then how did you do it?"

Su You said: "We didn't know at the time that it was the eunuch sent by His Majesty. The old man was about to be released. Seeing that the man had no luggage, he only took away the manuscript and left the rest to him."

Su Shi was also happy: "Uncle Clan is kind, and with this good karma, I hope the eunuch will be able to say good things when he returns... What about you, Uncle Yao?"

Su You was very embarrassed: "I? I chatted with the visitor and found that he was proficient in water conservancy, so I grabbed him to sort out the water conservancy regulations for me, and then...recommended him to His Majesty. Now that person is already working on water conservancy under Song Yongchen.

"

"Ah? Hahahahaha..." Su Shi laughed heartily, and then shook his head after laughing: "Although it is unexpected, if you think about it carefully, it is reasonable, hahahaha..."

The three uncles and nephews chatted about the court situation for a while, and Su You also encouraged Su Shi, telling him to listen carefully to the words of the governor Xu Damou when he arrived in Huangzhou, and not to worry about anything except signing and painting, and it was best to travel around and relax.

It’s important. Let’s wait for a while before talking about it.

Afterwards, they talked about literature again, and Su You took out Ziyou's "Eight Gong Zhong Yao Ji" and watched it with Da Su.

Da Su also spoke highly of it, thinking that this was his brother's masterpiece of literary style. Once this article was published, Su Che would definitely have a place in the literary world of the Song Dynasty.

At dinner that day, Su Shi made a major decision and announced it at the dinner table: "I have decided that from now on, I will never write poetry or composition again!"

Everyone was shocked, what kind of trouble is this?! Da Su stopped writing articles? He stopped writing poems?! Have you asked the people of the Song Dynasty if they agreed? Oh no, did the people of Korea, Japan, and Liao agree?

Su Shi held the wine glass and looked at the group of people who were mourning their heirs: "This article is the most tiring. If you don't pay attention to it, it will be a sin. It is not helpful to cultivate one's moral character. So I will not write poetry in the future! If I want to write, I will write about medicine, planting.

Practical books such as trees and elegant poems are so popular, let them rest!"

Su You is dumbfounded. With this time travel, I have wiped out Da Su in history? What about those two Chibi poems? Ah, there are also "Ding Fengbo·Don't Listen to the Sound of Chuanlin's Beating Leaves" and "Niannujiao·Chibi"

"Reminiscence of the Ancients" has not been released yet, am I not going to be an eternal sinner in the Chinese literary world?!

I raised my glass and I didn’t know how to persuade Da Su to come back. My nephew, don’t panic. When you arrive in Huangzhou, you will enter a period of transformation in literary style, then the peak period of creation, and finally become a world-class culture.

Idol?

Su Shi reached out and clinked the cup with Su You: "Look, Mingrun supports me, it's settled!"

Hey! What have I said? It’s settled?!

Su You really didn't sleep well that night. What should I do if Da Su is gone? This is a very serious problem.

In the morning, I was dragged up by the flat pot in a daze, ran two laps in a daze, and then returned to Zhuangzi in a daze, only to find two poems on my desk.

One is:

The return date of a hundred days coincides with spring, and happiness in the rest of my life is most important to me.

As soon as I step out, a whirlwind blows in my face, and there are people walking around and dancing magpies.

But I have always dreamed about the wine glass, and I am already like a god when I try to pick up the pen of poetry.

Why should we be held accountable for this disaster? There is never any reason for stealing money.

Another one is:

I have been tired of writing all my life, and my reputation will not be diminished after I leave.

Even if the horse is on the fortress, there will be no fighting among young cocks in the city.

Peng Ze, who retired from office, was poor and had no drink, and he had a wife because of his illness.

It's a shame to laugh at Suiyang's old job, and send a message to Western Liaoning for me.

Su You suddenly became furious, picked up the note and went to the main room, where Su Shi was drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks.

"Zizhan! Did you write this?!"

"Ah? Yes, I wrote it."

"Then you lied to us last night and said you would never write poetry again?! I couldn't sleep well all night, thinking that I had slapped away the literary genius of the Song Dynasty!"

Su Shi's legs closed together unconsciously: "Gel... what gelding is missing?"

Su You held two black circles on his head, feeling annoyed at his lack of sleep: "Tell me! What's going on with these two poems?!"

Su Shi said: "Isn't it very clear in the first poem? 'But I have always dreamed about the wine glass, and I am already like a god when I try to pick up the pen of poetry.'"

"I really made up my mind not to write poetry anymore. But last night I had a dream, but I went back to the moment when I came out of Wutai. I felt the spring breeze blowing on my face and felt relaxed, so I wrote these two poems in my dream."

"Mingrun, that was in a dream, this... I can't control myself in the dream... I can't help it..."

Su You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Damn it, you can compose poems in your dreams and quote classics so neatly. Should I praise you or scold you?!

Su Shi cried sadly: "Now that I have broken the precept, there is no point in lying to myself anymore. It seems that I am destined to be burdened by words in this life. Alas, maybe this is just fate playing tricks on people..."

Su You: "..."

This is really angry. If you are so dissatisfied, why don't you let God get rid of me?!

There are two poems. The first one talks about being censored for more than a hundred days, and it will be the Spring Festival when it is released.

People feel refreshed during happy events, the wind seems so gentle, and the magpies keep chirping.

Holding the wine glass, I don’t know if I am in a dream; picking up the pen, the inspiration for poetry and thoughts still surges like a god.

There is nothing to regret about this disaster, but I still feel inexplicable that I can still remain in the officialdom incompetently.

The second poem says that I have been burdened by my literary reputation all my life. I have learned a lesson this time and must learn to be a low-key person.

This encounter is like a blessing in disguise. When I return one day, I know it is not a blessing; I don't want to compete with the cockfighting boy again.

Like Tao Yuanming, the magistrate of Pengze County who has since retired from office, his livelihood may be affected, and he may not even have a drink;

Compared to Wang Wei, who after his retirement, his wife died of illness and swore not to marry, he still had a wife to rely on, and she was better than him, so there was nothing wrong with that.

It's just that the old man in Suiyang accused his younger brother Su Che. When Ziyou heard that his brother was imprisoned, he asked to be dismissed from his official position to atone for his sins. Now he is going to Liaoxi.

However, in history, Su Che was demoted to be the wine supervisor in Junzhou, so the original poem was about Jiangxi, but now he became a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and complained to the envoy, so the poem became Liaoxi.

Su You sat down, pointed at the sentence "Young chickens will not fight in the city", and sneered: "What about the words of caution? How can I say this sentence?"

Then he pointed to the word "Chelu" and asked, "How do you say this sentence?"

"Young chickens do not fight in the east of the city" is a reference to the story in Tang Chenhong's "Dongcheng Elders' Biography": Jia Chang was favored by Xuanzong for his good cockfighting and was named "the elder of five hundred children".

Words, cock fighting and horse racing are better than reading.

Su Shi's meaning is very clear: I am not beaten to death by you this time, it is a blessing in disguise, but I am also exhausted mentally and physically by you, and I have no time to play cockfight with you.

This is still a mockery of the officials who examined him as ignorant and ignorant, as villains like jesters and actors. Taken more seriously, it is also slander.

The allusion of "stealing salary" is even more serious. Although Du Xunhe of the Tang Dynasty wrote in his "Autobiography" poem, "I would rather be an idle chanter in the universe, than be afraid of being a person who steals salary in the universe." It means that he is an official without talent.

Su Shi's poem obviously uses this allusion, but there are more than just this allusion to "stealing wealth".

In a letter to Cao Cao from the Three Kingdoms period, a great scholar said that he was a salary thief. When Cao Cao killed Xun Yu, he sent him an empty box. When he opened it, there was nothing. Xun Yu sighed: "The food of the world"

Han Lu, there will be no more Han Lu to eat!" So he committed suicide by taking poison.

This allusion is going to be stretched. It can be said that Su Shi compares himself to Cao Cao, hahaha... I'm afraid he has to shed another layer of skin.

Although Su Shi has a carefree personality, he is very familiar with allusions. As soon as Su You pointed it out, he immediately choked up: "Ahem, cough, cough... I can't control the hand in the dream. That's not what I meant... It's... it's all my fault.

…”

Su You twitched his lips: "Can't you change it?"

"I'm not used to this."
