Chapter 15: Hard to guard against!
Zhong Yi's cooking skills are very good, which she probably inherited from her mother-in-law. In daily cooking, her mother-in-law takes the initiative, and the maids in the house usually follow behind her to help.
"Dad came back in the evening. He said it was thanks to you today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, involving dozens of lives and affecting many people." Zhong Yi brought him another bowl of soup and said, "Thank you very much for today." is you."
"Family, there's no need to be so polite." Tangning returned what she just said.
Zhong Yi was not like Tang Yaoyao, who had endless things to say and endless tricks to say. She was introverted, and Tang Ning was not a talkative person either.
When neither of them spoke, the room fell into silence, and an awkward atmosphere spread.
"So Governor Dong, are you trying to embarrass your father-in-law again?" Unable to stand this strange atmosphere, Tang Ning took the initiative to change the subject.
Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "Although Governor Dong is the governor, he can't be too unscrupulous in his actions in Lingzhou City. As long as dad doesn't make any big mistakes, he can't do anything to dad."
It was only during this period that Tang Ning learned that the situation in Lingzhou City was quite complicated. A Lingzhou governor could not cover the sky with one hand.
He thought for a while and asked: "The governor, is his character really so bad?"
Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Even if you die alone, it is much better than marrying him."
Tangning didn't know what to say anymore.
When talking to Zhong Yi, he always asked and answered questions like this, which seemed very stiff. Tang Ning smiled and said in a lively manner: "You are a famous and talented woman in Lingzhou City. You have many admirers. You can line up from the yamen gate to the city gate. Even without me, they wouldn't just watch you jump into the fire pit..."
Zhong Yi looked at him, and Tang Ning realized that in everyone's eyes, he was also one of Zhong Yi's fans, and a die-hard fan, the type who would risk his life to save her.
Just when Tang Ning didn't know what to say next, Zhong Yi smiled and said, "What a talented woman, she is just for her own entertainment. After all, a woman's poetry cannot be put on the stage and cannot be elegant."
What Zhong Yi said is true.
Under the constraints of feudal ethics, women have long been on the weak side and subject to many shackles.
In fact, many women are as talented as men, but over thousands of years of history, there are as many talented people as there are sands of sand in the Ganges River who can be named. How many talented women are there who can be named?
However, this does not mean that women's poetry cannot be put on the stage and cannot be elegant.
This is his profession, and he does not agree with Zhong Yi's views.
He shook his head and said: "Mrs. Xu Mu rushed to rescue Wei, Ban Jieyu was an outstanding eloquent speaker, Mrs. Wei was quick to write, and Liu Lingxian, a famous official, stopped writing..., among these women, which one is not worthy of being on the stage? Can’t go to the elegant hall?”
Zhong Yi looked at Tang Ning, his eyes slightly dazed.
His sentence just now used several allusions. Mrs. Xu Mu's poem "Zai Chi" revived the Weiguo, which was a matter of the Spring and Autumn Period; A woman, but good at calligraphy, she was the enlightenment teacher of the "Sage of Calligraphy" Wang Xizhi...
These are all famous talented women in history, and the light they exude is no less than that of any man.
It turned out that he knew this, and his amnesia seemed not to be what she thought.
Seeing that her eyes had been fixed on him for a long time, Tangning explained, "Although I have forgotten many things, I read a lot of books in the past few days and remembered some of them one after another..."
Zhong Yi looked at him for a long time, with something strange in his eyes. After a while, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Yes, Ban Zhao is learned and talented, Cai Yan has a broken heart, Xie Daoyun is talented in chanting xu, and Su Hui is famous for weaving thousands of poems." Hui Wenjin... these women are all capable of achieving great things."
Tang Ning suddenly realized that he and Zhong Yi still had something in common.
When it comes to reciting poems and composing poems, he naturally cannot compare with Zhong Yi.
But if it was just a matter of criticism and discussion, after all, he also had a master's degree in ancient literature. With the help of memory playback, he could discuss it with her for three days and three nights without getting stuck.
Moreover, a paper he once published was about talented women throughout the ages, and he has conducted extensive research on this topic.
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Actually, apart from them, there are also many women with soaring talents, such as the talented and elegant Shangguan Wan'er, Xue Tao of The Flying Goose Leaving a Voice..."
Zhong Yi had a smile on his face and asked, "Among these people, who do you think is the most talented?"
Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "In terms of talent alone, it should be Xie Daoyun who has the talent of singing Xu..."
Zhong Yi nodded and agreed very much: "I also think that Xie Daoyun can be regarded as the most talented woman in the history..."
…
This was Tangning's first time chatting with Zhong Yi.
They talked from Zhuang Jiang to Zhuo Wenjun, from Mrs. Xu Mu to Ban Jieyu, from Su Hui in Xuanji Pictures, from Mrs. Wei to Xie Daoyun...
When talking about Xie Daoyun, Zhong Yi sighed and said: "Although Xie Daoyun is extremely talented and intelligent, she is also too arrogant and looks down on her husband who is not as talented as her. She has always had a grudge against this, and in her heart Resentment is difficult to quell, life is miserable, and life is miserable..."
Tang Ning shook her head and said, "It is normal for her to have this kind of mentality. As a wife, it is her duty to care for her husband and raise her children. But when she sees that her husband's literary talents and moral integrity are not as good as those around her, she will inevitably feel sad. Her husband Wang Ningzhi has little virtue but high status, little wisdom but big plans, little strength but heavy responsibilities, which ultimately harmed herself and her family..."
Zhong Yi smiled and said: "No matter what, this cannot conceal her talent. Her reputation as the most talented woman throughout the ages is worthy of her name..."
Tang Ning wanted to tell her that although Xie Daoyun was the most talented in the world, she was only the most talented woman in the Eastern Jin Dynasty at best.
The most talented woman of all time, except for Li Qingzhao, a lay scholar in Yi'an, no one deserves this title.
But there was no Li Qingzhao in this world, and Tangning couldn't refute Zhong Yi.
This messy world completely collapsed after the Song Dynasty. The Zhao Song Dynasty was still the Zhao Song Dynasty, but in fact it was completely different. If he wanted to say that Li Qingzhao was the most talented woman in history, Zhong Yi might think it was his brain. Broken imaginary characters.
He could only nod his head and said: "The mountains in the east of E'E are high, and their beauty reaches the blue sky. The hollow space in the middle of the rock is lonely and mysterious. It is neither a craftsman nor a craftsman, and the cloud structure is natural. What does the utensil look like, so it makes me They have moved many times. The generals who have passed away can stay in this house for the rest of their lives... Most of women's poems are known for their femininity and subtlety, but Xie Daoyun's "Taishan Yin" is full of masculinity without any trace of powder. With her generous strokes and extraordinary bearing, she is worthy of being called the most talented woman throughout the ages..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhong Yi looking at him in surprise, wondering: "Why, did I say something wrong?"
These words are not what he said, but are serious works appreciation, there should be no mistakes.
Zhong Yi shook his head and said: "Xie Daoyun's works are full of masculinity without any trace of makeup..."
Tangning finally felt relieved.
Zhong Yi looked at Tang Ning, blinked and said, "But she hasn't written "The Song of Mount Tai"..."
Tang Ning's heart became excited again.
Zhong Yi's expression doesn't look fake, and she seems to be a fan of Xie Daoyun, so it's unlikely to make a mistake.
But Xie Daoyun didn't leave many works, so Tang Ning couldn't remember them wrong.
The only explanation is that there are some deviations at a certain node in this world.
He only knows that there are Zhuo Wenjun, Cai Wenji, Xie Daoyun, no Li Qingzhao, no Zhu Shuzhen, no Yu Xuanji and Liu Caichun in this world...
But he didn't know that although there was Xie Daoyun in history, she never wrote "Taishan Yin"...
When he was chatting with Zhong Yi, he was already trying to avoid people or things that didn't exist to prevent something from being exposed, but this ------ was really hard to guard against!
Zhong Yi was still looking at him, waiting for his explanation.
He picked up the cup and took a sip, stood up holding his head, and said: "I'm a little too drunk, so go to bed early..."
Zhong Yi looked at the tea in his cup with a blank expression.
