妙人儿


世上有些妙人儿。

北宋年间,宋真宗寻访天下隐士,有个叫做杨朴的人,素有诗名,被招到京城,准备封官。杨朴百计推脱。皇帝问他,临行之前,有人作诗相送没有?杨朴道:“无有。惟臣妻一绝云:
‘且休落魄贪杯酒,
更莫猖狂爱咏诗。
今日捉将官里去,
这回断送老头皮。’”
宋真宗大笑,放他归隐山林,成全了他的心意。

我读这故事,微笑之余,觉得杨朴妻绝对是个妙人儿。谁都知道,隐士出山,正是飞黄腾达的好机会,杨朴妻却怪丈夫不该吟诗贪酒,以至名声在外,如今官家找上门来,再不得悠游自在,乐享天真。杨朴呢,作为隐士,“志士栖山恨不深,人知已自负初心”,不过他坚辞不受官职,看来还是真心实意的,特别的是,他娶了这么个妙人儿妻子,自身至少也算是半个妙人儿了吧。

这则故事见于苏东坡的《志林》,这东坡学士也是个妙人儿。他在湖州,因为“乌台诗案”诽谤朝廷事发,被真的捉将官里去。妻子儿女送出门外,牵衣恸哭。苏东坡走不了路,回头笑对老妻道:“子独不能如杨处士妻作一诗送我乎?”(你难道不能象杨朴妻那样也作首诗送我吗?)妻儿不觉失笑。於是苏轼得以脱身。

宠,辱,偏这世上真有那般的妙人儿,一笑皆忘。

每年十月左右,科学界最高荣誉诺贝尔奖获得者名单公布。前两天,新闻里说,2004年医学奖获得者之一,是美国哥伦比亚大学Richard Axel。人们电话通知他获奖的消息,Axel表示震惊,然而,当被问到,打完电话之后,他将去干什么,Axel说, "I'm going to have a cup of coffee." 这也是个妙人儿!

妙人儿不分国籍,不分古今,不分男女,甚至也不分年龄,谁又能说,上面的这位小可爱,就不是个妙人儿呢?
