Chapter 71 Who is the author?
"It's natural that the young master does this, but this is not what the young girl wants. There is a young master who is willing to marry a little girl, and his family has agreed. You guy, do you think the young girl is willing to be a concubine or a wife? What's more, what the young master said before is wrong. Women who are prostitutes may not be concubines, and there are many wives, such as Mrs. Liang, the wife of Han Shizhong, the famous anti-Jin general, and Li Yaxian, the famous Tang Dynasty prostitute who saved Zheng Yuanhe. Later, wasn't she also named the wife of the Wisdom Kingdom? Zheng Yuanhe and Han Shizhong were willing to marry a prostitute, so why no one was willing to marry a little girl?"
"This..." Hou Fangyu couldn't help but speak in a mess after hearing this. Then he thought for a while and said, "In the Tang and Song dynasties, the people tended to be Hu Hua and did not know how to abide by Confucius's right path, so this strange thing happened. Now my dynasty is under the righteous path of Zhu Zi, who understands etiquette and righteousness, and knows shame. We scholars have been taught by saints since childhood. How could we reduce our identities and marry prostitutes? It's not that I don't want to, but this dynasty has no such precedent. Of course, the exception of common people. If they are common people, it would be a good idea to marry prostitutes. So what's not willing?"
After hearing this, Li Zhenli sneered and said, "The lesson of the saint? Has the saint taught you to come to my brothel to have fun? You are the righteous way of Zhu Zi. Zhu Xi said it on the surface, "What is the principle of heaven and destroying human desires, but he forced himself to take nuns and even scattered the ashes with his daughter-in-law. Why don't you say these?"
After hearing this, Hou Fangyu couldn't help but blush and said loudly: "Nonsense, this is all slander from political opponents Zhu Zi, and this is not the case at all."
"Not to mention the truth or falsehood of this matter, the first question I asked you how to answer? While you shouted that the principles of heaven should be preserved, you would be able to destroy human desires, and you would take advantage of us prostitutes, and at the same time you said that we are low-minded and do not deserve to be women. This is the face of you so-called gentlemen? It is not disgusting. I don't think that life is as clean as ordinary people!"
"You, you..." Hou Fangyu was speechless by Li Zhenli's words. After you had been speechless for a long time, you couldn't say a word. But then he thought of something and said with a sneer: "You just accused me of being a hypocrite, but wasn't that person who pretended to be my identity? He hid his head and shook his head and tail, deceived the world and stole the reputation, and then my reputation won the hearts of Miss Xiangjun. How much better than me? I don't believe that he would treat Miss Xiangjun sincerely. He might not be as good as me in the end."
Li Zhenli laughed and said, "Young Master Hou is worried that this is not a problem. That person pretended to be your identity by chance. It was not intentional. You said that he used your reputation. Indeed, your reputation is higher than him, but his literary talent may not be inferior to you. What he really impressed the little girl is because of his own talent and his infatuation with the little girl."
"What? You said that his talent is not inferior to me? Although I, Hou Fangyu, is not a famous person, I also believe that among the younger generation of the Ming Dynasty, I can be regarded as a leader of the generation. Thanks to the world, I have been called the fourth son of Chen Zhenhui, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Pijiang. If I have the chance, I want to experience the brilliant talent of the man who pretends to be my identity."
When Hou Fangyu said this, he looked quite proud. He believed that what Li Zhenli said was definitely not true. If that person was really talented and famous, he would not have been so nameless. At least he should have heard of his literary name.
Li Zhenli said lightly: "Since that's the case, please wait for a while, and I will let you see Mr. Ma's talent."
Then Li Zhenli turned around and walked into the inner room, asked Li Xiangjun for the poems written by Ma Mingfeng, and then walked out again. She first took out the poems written by Ma Mingfeng and Yang Wencong for Hou Fangyu to see.
"'The red tower is slanted by the path of the road, and the princes are fighting to drive the chariots of the Fuping. The green stream planted the trees of the pungent trees, not as good as the spring breeze of peaches and plums.' This is clearly a poem I wrote. You actually brought it to me to see it. This is really a laughing thing. So I said that the man deceived the world and stole the reputation, but you still don't believe it." Hou Fangyu had a victory smile on his face, and at the same time he had a bit of mockery and mockery in his words.
"You wrote it? When did you write it?" Li Zhenli didn't have any idea. There were many people who sneaked and plagiarized about writing poetry. Who knows who stole who?
Hou Fangyu sneered and said, "Of course I wrote it after seeing Xiangjun. I fell in love with her at first sight. No, I fell in love at first sight. I had a great impression. I also knew her name. I couldn't sleep at night. When I tossed and turned, I wrote this poem to express my praise for her."
"Written after seeing the little girl? That's what you really wrote after April?" Li Zhenli felt relieved when she heard this, with a hint of joking on her face.
"That was, that day was April 11, and I remember clearly that it was light raining and the drizzle was like silk, which symbolized my feelings and compiled me and her together. At night, the moonlight was bright, which made me miss it so much that I wrote this poem..."
Hou Fangyu shook his head and expressed his feelings, but he didn't expect that Li Zhenli sneered and said, "You are simply nonsense. This poem was written by Mr. Ma on February 18th. It was written by him and his daughter for the first time. It was written by him and his daughter when they met. It was nearly two months earlier than Mr. Hou, and two months earlier. Do you say that this poem was written by you? No matter how little I have learned, I would not come to such a ridiculous conclusion, right? In my opinion, it must be that you got the poem by Mr. Ma by some chance, and then you were obsessed with the interests for a moment and wanted to take it for yourself, or you had never written this poem before, deliberately trashing and slandering Mr. Ma."
When Hou Fangyu heard this, he looked in disbelief and widened his eyes and said, "This is such a strange thing. This poem is indeed written by me. If you don't believe it, I have the poem as evidence."
Hou Fangyu then took out a piece of poetry from his arms and handed it to Li Zhenli and said, "Look, this is my first draft and there are traces of corrections. It is absolutely impossible to make a mistake."
However, Li Zhenli sneered without even reading it, "Mr. Hou, you are so famous. Is it necessary to act like this for a poem? When Mr. Ma wrote this poem with my own eyes, did I believe that I had seen it with my own eyes, but instead believed in your own words? Hehe, Mr. Ma had written three poems at that time. I only asked you to read one, and you said that it was written by you. If I take out the other two poems, would you also say that it was written by you? So, I think it would be better not to take out the other two poems, so that someone would still say that it was written by him."
"How is this possible? This poem was clearly my inspiration suddenly appeared and it was turned into someone else's work? And it was written two months ago. Even if someone could write a work with the same idea, it would not be possible that even the words would be exactly the same."
Hou Fangyu looked confused, so he thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Then he suddenly thought of something and said to Li Zhenli: "You, you just said that he still has two poems, can you use them for me to see?"
