Chapter 212 Business and Beauty

Li Guodong smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang is a famous scholar in Jiangnan. It's not too shabby to invite you."

Zhang Dai said: "Shopkeeper Li is a pillar of the country. Zhang has long heard of the deeds of Shopkeeper Li. Shopkeeper Li can not only go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but also recite good poems. He is really both civil and military."

When Li Guodong asked Wang Quan to go to Jiangnan before, he taught him a few poems. Of course, he copied the poems of later generations. As a result, if life was just like the first meeting, it caused a sensation in the Qinhuai River. There were also the songs of burial flowers and peach blossoms, which made the scholars in Jiangnan sigh. Many scholars secretly regretted that this person was very talented, but unfortunately he was a warrior. He wasted all his talent all day long.

There is another poem about autumn: The sycamore tree leaves are in the sea and autumn, and the guests in the Yangtze River are worried. Five years of war are about to be decided, and several people compete for the marquis again.

It is important to know that if the country is destroyed and the family is not sent, how can there be a boat and a slum floating alone? The old story of Yashan is still there, and the masters work hard to save Shenzhou. This makes people see Li Guodong's desire to serve the country. However, the literati thinks this poem is too alarmist. Now there is a prosperous scene of peace and prosperity in Jiangnan. Why should we save Shenzhou?

After all, even if the Ming Dynasty fell, they would still be officials if they changed to emperors.

In addition to copying the poems of Nalan Xingde and Cao Xueqin, the poems of those who attracted scholars, brothel singers, and ladies in the deep boudoir, Li Guodong plagiarized Lin Zexu and Lin Juemin, and even copied Wang Jingwei's poems. Those passionate poems made the scholars in Jiangnan ashamed, and believed that Li Guodong only knew how to fight and kill all day long. If he could concentrate on studying, he would definitely be able to get fame.

The reason why Li Guodong copied these poems was to let the scholars in Jiangnan know that his martial artists could use their literary talent to suppress them and make them look at them with admiration.

Liu Zongzhou said: "I heard that Manager Li is a good poem, so we come to visit him. I hope the young master can give him a poem."

Li Guodong smiled slightly, shook the fan, and thought for a moment. He had already stored thousands of poems from the Qing Dynasty in his mind, and he recited one by one: "The nine provinces are angry and rely on the wind and thunder, and thousands of horses are silenced. I advise the heavens to shake themselves up and to surrender talents without any restrictions."

Zhang Dai praised: "No matter how talented people are reduced, this eight-legged exam really limits how many talented people are. Unfortunately, people like you and me are not tolerated by scholars. Although I am a scholar, I have failed the provincial examinations many times and are not tolerated by scholars in Jiangnan. Although Manager Li is both civil and military, they will not tolerate you."

"Li is a problem with his identity. If he had not been born into a poor family outside the border, he would have been in Beijing for an exam long ago." Li Guodong replied. This is actually an excuse. He said with his conscience that he had just relied on some cleverness to memorize some poems. If Li Guodong really wanted to write eight-part essays, he would have no idea. Not to mention a Jinshi, even a scholar would not even think of it.

Next, Li Guodong and Zhang Dai and others got on the topic and talked about tea trading. He saw a long time ago and needed to buy a batch of black tea, transport it outside the pass, transport it all the way west, send it to the Ertzis River Basin, and sell it to the Rakshasa people. When traveling to the Western Regions, you can not only earn money, but also get a batch of camels.

Li Guodong naturally would not believe this when it comes to the camel soldiers set up in the game. Camel soldiers are actually not difficult to restrain cavalry. It is nonsense that horses are afraid of the smell of camels, but camels have good endurance. Cavalry can ride camels and horses run at once, so there is no need for three riders per person, just one camel and one horse. In addition, camels are carrying heavy loads, thick skin and flesh, and firearms can use camels to maneuver and fight. Caves form a circle on the periphery, so it is difficult for cavalry to rush over, which is similar to the chariot camp. As long as a camel is covered with a little protection, it is difficult for bows and arrows to shoot camels to kill them.

At this moment, a woman in a light red dress hugged the pipa upstairs. Han Dashan and He Xing both looked straight. Even Liu Zongzhou and Qi Biaojia smiled and asked the woman for a greeting, but Li Guodong turned a blind eye.

"If the tea is transported to the Western Regions and sold to the Rakshasa people, I need black tea from Fujian. I heard that the Zhengshan small seeds in Chong'an are sweet and have endless aftertaste." Li Guodong was talking about tea with Zhang Dai.

Zhang Dai, who was familiar with the tea ceremony, was shocked: "I didn't expect that Manager Li knew tea so well."

"I am a tea merchant. Since I sell tea, if I don't know, how can I sell it?"

"Is this Mr. Li who has made his life like a masterpiece like the first meeting?" The conversation between Li Guodong and Zhang Dai was interrupted by the voice of a woman.

Li Guodong raised his head and looked at the woman. He saw that the woman was about fourteen years old, with long black hair, big eyes, small mouth, delicate and beautiful facial features, and her skin was so delicate that it could drip out of water. She was more beautiful than the beauties Li Guodong had seen in two lives. Of course, plastic surgery faces she had seen in her previous life were not included. At that moment, Li Guodong was stunned for a moment and answered involuntarily: "It's Li."

"Little woman Gu Mei, I would like to play a song for the young master." The woman was blessed with a blessing.

It turns out that she is Gu Hengbo, no wonder. But Meilou is Gu Hengbo's residence, but I didn't expect that when I came here, Gu Hengbo could come out to play a song in person.

Gu Hengbo's jade fingers were gently closed and slowly twisted. The soft and melodious sound of the pipa rippled up, and the red lips were gently opened. The singing was elegant. Each sentence was matched with the rhyme of the pipa, sometimes like a gurgling water, sometimes like a silver bell, and it was heard that everyone present was refreshed and happy, like a bath in the spring breeze. However, Li Guodong did not look at her, and still buried his head in discussing with Zhang Dai how to ferment green tea into black tea.

Qi Biaojia, who was sitting next to him, suddenly remembered something and interjected: "Shopkeeper Li, Qi also treated the disease and saved people. I heard from Xu Shangshu (Xu Guangqi) about Mr. Li's incident. The injured person on the battlefield will be through Mr. Li's wonderful hands to recover. Even if he was infected with a poisonous arrow, he can be cured. I wonder how Mr. Li did it?"

Li Guodong disinfected the alcohol, boiled gauze in boiling water, and cut off rotten meat with a knife. Qi Biaojia was stunned: "I didn't expect that Manager Li would have such a method! It's really admirable!"

After Gu Hengbo finished playing a song, he saw that Li Guodong was not only unheard of his own playing, but even didn't even look at him. In fact, she didn't know that this so-called talented man with both civil and military skills was a martial artist who copied other people's poems. This person did not understand the pros and cons of Pipa music at all.

Seeing this, Gu Hengbo was furious and stood up and walked to Li Guodong: "Mr. Li, is the pipa song played by me just now still beautiful?"

"Miss Gu, Li was talking to Mr. Zhang just now, but Li didn't listen to the song you played at all."
