Chapter 235: Du Fu and Li Guinian
When he saw Li Guinian walking into the lobby of the riot, Du Fu, who was drinking quietly, couldn't help but be stunned. When he was a teenager, he had listened to Li Jiao and singing music in Luoyang, but he had no financial resources to make friends with Li Jiao who was running among the powerful.
"Zimei, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something at home."
Du Fu knew that his friend opposite was a big mouth that could not hide his words. If he could tell who was coming, he would be afraid that it would take a moment for everyone in a row to know that everyone in Li was here.
After seeing Bian Lingcheng, Li Guinian also accelerated his pace. The eunuchs who were most favored by the saints in the palace were Gao Lishi and Cui Di, and the next one was this Bianguan.
"Meet the Bian Duke."
Li Guinian was greedy for money but was not good at power because he knew that he was not an official, so even if he was happy with the saint, he was polite to eunuchs like Bian Lingcheng.
"Li, don't have to be too polite, come, sit down and say."
With Bian Lingcheng's greeting, Li Guinian sat down with only half of his butt. At this time, he was also nervous. He didn't know what saint asked Bian Lingcheng to pass on to him, but he actually needed to hide his eyes and ears like this.
"Let me come over here with my ears. The saint's words can be heard from me and you, but we can no longer let others know."
Li Guinian leaned over and stretched over. Bian Lingcheng also lowered his voice. With just a few words, Li Guinian couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't want the saint to use his identity to make friends with the Anxi Shen. Now he wants him to pretend to be a substitute. What's that matter!
You should know that he returned to Chang'an excitedly and planned to visit Mr. Shen. Looking at the world, only Mr. Shen's music score made him feel refreshed and inspired him. You should know that although he has traveled between Dongdu and Chang'an in recent years, he has wandered between the royal and powerful mansions and nobles, anyone would call him a name and be proud of being able to invite him to play at home.
But he couldn't find the joy and touching of having fun when he was young. He hadn't even made a new song that satisfies him for two years.
Bian Lingcheng looked at Li Guinian who was depressed and said with a full drink, "Li, don't worry, it's rare for a saint to play like this. When Shen comes back to Anxi, you won't have to suffer this grievance."
"Shen, everyone wants to go back to Anxi?"
Li Guinian's hand holding the wine glass trembled. In his opinion, people like Shen Jiao should stay in Chang'an City, just like him back then.
"Everyone knows that Shen is determined to be in the military. The saint intersects with him in the name of Li. Although he persuades him twice, Shen is really not concerned about the glory and wealth of Chang'an City, which is indeed admirable."
Bian Lingcheng has seen all kinds of people in the court, inside and outside, but this is the first time he has seen a person like Shen Guang. He is neither convinced of Buddhism and has the idea of being out of heaven nor is he completely indifferent to fame, wealth and wealth, but he is just determined to make achievements in Anxi.
Li Guinian sighed at this time. He has been busy with social engagements in recent years and rarely devoted himself to music composition. Compared to Shen, who does not admire the wealth of Chang'an, he is really ashamed.
"Mr. Bian, I don't know if I can get along with Shen, so I use other pseudonyms."
Hearing Li Guinian's words, Bian Lingcheng laughed and comforted the somewhat panicked Li Jiao, saying, "It's okay, as long as everyone Li doesn't ruin the saint's interest."
"The words have been passed, everyone, let's go back first."
Bian Lingcheng looked at the happy Li Guinian, stood up and patted his shoulder, then called the guards who were accompanying him and left the brigade.
Du Fu, not far away, looked at Li Guinian whose expression changed several times. After thinking about it carefully, he still did not go to socialize with everyone. He was no longer young and frivolous. This time he came to Chang'an, he should focus on the imperial examinations and not create any troubles.
Li Guinian sat at the table, drank the remaining half pot of wine, and when he raised his head, he saw two scholars who were getting up not far away, and inexplicably felt that one of them looked very familiar.
Du Fu was unwilling to be troublesome, but he was about to leave with his friend, but he was stopped by the Li family.
"Xiao Du, come here to have two drinks with me."
"Zimei, that father-in-law recognizes you!"
Looking at Du Fu who was a little surprised beside him, Su Yuanming couldn't help but push him. Du Fu immediately came to his senses and said to Su Yuanming, "Yuanming went back to the guesthouse first, that father-in-law is my father's old friend..."
"Since I am the elder Zimei, I will visit you."
"Yuan Ming, I, an elder, have never liked the excitement. I will recommend you next time."
Su Yuanming looked at the old man who didn't look at him from a distance, and immediately smiled embarrassedly, "Then I'll go back to my room first."
After seeing off his friend, Du Fufang dressed himself and walked to Li Guinian to salute, "I have seen Li Da..."
"Sit down and talk."
Li Guinian did not let Du Fu have all his etiquette. Now he is not Li Jia, but Li Jia’s substitute. The reason why he called this little Du was because he was afraid that the little Du who recognized him would talk nonsense after he arrived in Chang'an City.
"You are Du Sima's son. I remember King Qi, but I can't be too arrogant to you. This time I come to Chang'an..."
"I'm not hiding it from Mr. Li, this time I came to Chang'an to be the Jinshi exam..."
"So that's it. Xiao Du, you have a place to live in Chang'an City. You might as well go with someone."
Li Guinian thought about it. The saint originally wanted him to live in Huaqing Palace for a few months, but he really didn't want to miss the Shen family, but he couldn't ruin the saint's interest, so he had to get himself an identity.
Instead of returning to Chang'an City and trying every possible way, it would be better to solve the problem on the way. At that time, I would not even go back to my own house, and just ask my confidant to go home, saying that I was still in Luoyang.
Du Fu looked at Li Guinian who invited him to accompany him and was a little surprised. In his impression, everyone who interacted with Li was a nobleman.
"What, Xiao Du, don't you want to?"
"I'm willing."
Du Fu naturally would not refuse to be able to travel with Li Guinian. Although he was afraid of trouble, Li Guinian even spoke, and if he refused, it would be trouble.
"Little Du, be content. If you and someone are traveling with you, you will never suffer a loss."
"Come on, let's go to a certain car, we will go back to Chang'an City as soon as possible."
Li Guinian held Du Fu's hand and got up. He decided to pretend to be the elder of the little Du family and then find an opportunity to visit Mr. Shen.
Du Fu, who could not resist Li Guinian, had to respond and then went to find a friend to explain the situation.
"Since the elders have invited me, Zimei can go there."
Su Yuanming did not ask until the end. Although he was careless, he was not stupid. Naturally, he could see that there seemed to be something hidden in Du Fu's mouth, but no matter how curious he was, it would not make it difficult for his friends to do it.
"Then thank you Yuanming."
Du Fu packed his bags and left the guest house. Speaking of which, since his father died of illness, his family has been no longer rich. This time he came to Chang'an to take the exam, he lived outside the city. He waited for the exam to start, and then went to Chang'an to find a place to stay.
