Du Mu, a great poet in the late Tang Dynasty, is closely related to the famous poet Zhang Hu. On one occasion, Zhang was a guest in Huainan, went to the yamen for dinner, and saw Du present. At that time, both of them fell in love with a beautiful geisha, so they decided to have dice to decide who had the right to continue their love through gambling.
Du Mu immediately recited: Dice binds hands, jade never leaves hands. Not to be outdone, Zhang Hu continued to sing: However, it seems that she is still showing her fingertips to report the fall of Jin Chai. As soon as the voice fell, the two men laughed unconsciously, but forgot about gambling on wine and whoring. ?
2, burn before death
When Du Mu died, he knew that his time was coming and wrote his own epitaph, but this essay was plain and did not show any writer's handwriting. According to the epitaph written in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, Du Mu built a car behind closed doors at home and collected articles before his death, leaving only 23 out of 10 for the fire.
3. Play funny stories
According to the usual practice, new Jinshi will visit Qujiang. Qujiang was the most lively place at that time, especially in spring. At this time, Du Mu's eyes were bright and his every move was "talented".
Three or five of them came to Qujiang Temple and happened to meet a monk who was meditating, so they chatted. The monk asked Du Mu's name, and Du Mu proudly gave his name, thinking that "no one in the world knows me" and that the monk would be surprised and show the fanaticism of "groupies".
Who knows that the monk didn't change his face, but he didn't know it. This made Du Mu particularly lost and disappointed, so he wrote a poem on the spot: "I live next to Duqu in the south of the city, and two immortals are fragrant for a while." The old monk didn't know his last name, and he began to feel that an empty door had a long taste. "
4. Zhang Shi
In October of the second year of Daiwa, Mutu went to Hongzhou at that time, where Wang Bo wrote Preface to Wang Tengting, and began his career as a shogunate for more than ten years.
At that time, Shen Chuanshi was the governor of Jiangxi, and Du Mu was appointed as the governor of Jiangxi Yingyong. Shen Jia and Du Jia are family friends, and Shen Shi brothers are literary lovers. They were very fond of the famous literati at that time and had a close relationship with Du Mu. At the request of his brother Shen Shushi, Du Mu wrote a preface for Li Heji.
Du Mu often goes to Shen Shushi's house, listens to songs and dances, eats and drinks, and is also very fond of Shen's singers. It's a pity that the master cherished this girl, took the lead, fulfilled himself and took her as his concubine, which made Goku envy fishing.
In the eighth year of Daiwa, Xiao entered Zhang Luoyang. At this time, Zhang has lived in a foreign country and made a living by selling wine. Tu Mu was deeply touched and wrote a five-character poem "Zhang Hao Hao".
Because of his full mood, his writing is not only delicate, but also his calligraphy is more elegant, which won Du a good reputation as a calligrapher.
5. About ten years
When Du Mu was a secretary in Xuanzhou, he heard that Huzhou was full of beautiful women and went to Huzhou to play. Cui, the secretariat of Huzhou, knew the name of Du Mu's poem and warmly entertained him.
Cui summoned all the famous prostitutes in the state for Du to choose from. But Du Mu read it again and again, and said with some regret, "Beauty is beauty! But it is not perfect enough. " He added: "I hope to hold a boat race by the river for all Huzhou people to watch. At that time, I will walk slowly in the crowd and look carefully, hoping to find someone I like. " ?
Huzhou secretariat held such a competition according to Du Mu's wishes. On that day, there were a lot of people on both sides of the strait, but Du Mu picked a day until the evening and didn't find a suitable one. The ship is about to dock. In the crowd, there is an old woman from the countryside, holding a girl, about ten years old.
Du Mu looked at it for a long time and said excitedly, "This girl is really beautiful. The front is really empty! " I took my mother and daughter to the boat to talk. Both mother and daughter are afraid. Du Mu said, "I don't want to marry her right away. I just want to set a wedding date."
The old woman said, "What should I do if I break my word in the future?" Du Mu said: "In less than ten years, I will definitely come here as a county magistrate. If you don't come for ten years, marry someone else as you want. " The girl's mother agreed. Du Mu gave a valuable dowry. ?
After parting, Du Mu has been thinking about Huzhou and this girl. However, Du Mu's official position is low, so he can't make a request to transfer to Huzhou. Later, Du Mu became the secretariat of Huangzhou and Chizhou Harmonious States, which was not Du Mu's original intention.
When Zhou Yong, a good friend of Du Mu, became prime minister, Du Mu wrote three letters in succession, requesting to be the secretariat of Huzhou. In the third year of college, Du Mu was 47 years old and got the position of Huzhou secretariat. At this time, fourteen years have passed since the agreed time between mother and daughter. The girl has been married for three years and has given birth to three children. Du Mu called the girl's mother.
The old lady came to see Du Mu with her grandson. Tu Mu asked, "You promised to marry your daughter to me before. Why did you break your word? " The old woman said, "It was agreed to be ten years. After ten years, you didn't come. This is the only marriage. "
Mutu took out the contract, looked at it, thought about it and said, "What she said is very reasonable. If you force her, it will cause disaster. " He gave the old woman many gifts and let her go. For this sad thing, Du Mu wrote "Sighing Flowers".
