Chapter 7 Cherish Spring and Flowers
The victory in the Battle of Longyuan really shook the entire imperial capital, and the retreat of 3,000 ironclad soldiers and 70,000 merchant soldiers became the legend of the Guogong that was passed down by people. And this kind of thing also made the Ministry of War distressed, for no other reason, Li Changfeng was already a very popular minister, the generalissimo of the three armies, and the reward of the title was no longer something that these ministers of the Ministry of War could decide, and they drafted a chapter to Emperor Xia overnight, and these subordinates were finally able to rest, and as a result, the people of the Ministry of Rites had to be busy again - Emperor Xia's personal decree, three days later, the court celebrated together.
It's like everything has come together, just the day after Li Changfeng returned to the imperial capital, the Li family gave a dowry to the Han Mei family outside the city with great fanfare, and sent an invitation to the ministers of the DPRK and China, and the Li family will hold a wedding banquet after a month, for a while, the news that the four sons of the Li family married a poor woman spread vigorously, and at the same time, the matter of the four sons of the Li family robbing relatives was also turned out as a happy conversation for the people of the capital after dinner, but the Li family obviously didn't care about what was right.
No matter how hot the outside world is, the Li family is still the same as before. Every morning, the fifth sister Li Manchun still practiced "hum, ha, hey", to Li Changfeng's surprise, Li Keji actually got up early to practice, which made him very pleased, from generation to generation, how could the Li family not prosper for a long time.
Li Sinan heard the "hum" sound in the courtyard, shook his head helplessly, put down the pen in his hand, came to the stone table in a few steps, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "The wine is good wine, but it is too luxurious, not salty or light, and tasteless!"
Zhang Daoqian next to him just put down the wine jug, but found that the full wine was drunk by Li Sinan in one go, and then smiled helplessly, and then took out a cup, which was not only filled for Li Sinan, but also poured a glass for himself, took a sip, and his eyes stayed on the plum blossom tree by the wall of the inkstone: "The plum blossoms have bloomed, and Engong has really gone through the cold winter this time, ushering in the dark fragrance." Presumably, Emperor Xia's reward must not be bad. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Sinan grabbed the wine jug: "Pedanc, worldly rights are nothing but dust to you, and why not to me?"
"Uh......" Seeing Li Sinan's serious face, he smiled softly at the moment: "Yes, haha, it should be punished, then Zhang will punish himself three cups of apology." ”
"Come on, punishing yourself with three cups is also a punishment for you? Li Sinan immediately laughed, pulled out the lid of the wine jug, and personally helped Zhang Daoqian pour full wine: "Your wound is not healed yet, drink less wine, otherwise who will help me watch the door in my inkstone?"
Although there is some suspicion of treating people as inferior in these words, Zhang Daoqian understands in his heart that Li Sinan does not really regard him as a gatekeeper, on the contrary, Li Sinan's frivolous attitude, Zhang Daoqian still likes it very much.
Under Li Sinan's order, there was an extra log cabin next to the inkstone pond overnight, and the red sleeves were lying in it, although she did not wake up, but her improvement was really visible to Zhang Daoqian, and she couldn't help but have a sense of belonging to the Li family.
Unconsciously, Li Sinan fell asleep on the stone table, and Zhang Daoqian stopped bothering him, and quietly returned to the wooden house. It wasn't until it was dark that Li Keji came to wake up Li Sinan.
"What? You're going to get married in less than a month, and you're going to drink flower wine at this time?" Li Sinan raised his eyebrows.
"Hey, you don't know this, this flower wine is not another flower wine. Li Keji smiled mysteriously, put his arm on the second brother's shoulder, and the two went out of the door with a long talk.
Since returning to the imperial capital, Li Sinan has not come to visit the night market, and along the way, he is also staggered by the prosperity of the imperial capital.
Along the way, Li Keji finally let Li Sinan understand that it is indeed this flower wine is not the other flower wine! There is a Yeyang Lake in the west of the imperial capital, where the famous talents and eunuchs of the imperial capital will gather, and the women in the thirteen boats located in the Yeyang Lake are all beautiful women with excellent talents, because everyone here is more to exchange poetry and songs, so many daughters in Beijing will also carry the elders of the family and sneak here.
From a distance, I saw that the thirteen ship towers on Yeyang Lake were brightly lit, and the thirteen boats were connected end to end. Rao is Li Sinan couldn't help but sigh secretly, it only took a few years to develop the Thirteen Boats to such a grand scale, and the owners of the Thirteen Boats also had some means.
As the son-in-law of the Li family in the imperial capital, he naturally would not be left out in the cold, so he stepped into the thirteenth boat with his front foot, and someone immediately greeted him.
"Yo! Isn't this Li Gongzi, why did you bring friends today?" A middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun, holding an embroidery fan, and her face full of fat powder seemed to see silver, and she turned around and stared at Li Sinan again: "This son is very eye-catching, I don't know ...... you."
"Sister Xu, this is my second brother, I went out a few years ago, it's normal if you don't know each other, hurry up and prepare a private room for us, remember, everything is the best today." Li Keji casually threw out a silk bag.
Sister Xu opened the silk bag and looked at it, and her face was wrinkled with laughter: "Ouch, hey, Li Gongzi looked at what you said, don't worry, everything must be the best today! ”
Along the way, Li Sinan saw many talented and beautiful people, but Li Keji said that those who can only be outside are poor and sour talents, and real literati will book a private seat.
When she arrived at the No. 7 room of Tianzi, Sister Xu retreated, in fact, Li Sinan is not very suitable for this kind of place, but there is nothing to do, and it is good to come out to play and play, after all, there is not much time to stay here.
Li Sinan Wu pushed open the window, and looked down from the window, it was the lake reflecting the lights, and the boats of the thirteen boats formed a semi-arc to surround the lotus stone platform in the center of the lake, like the stars and the moon. In the criss-crossing corridors, there is no lack of a group of delicate people who write poems and paintings, and the people next to them comment on it, and those who are praised are proud, but there are not a few who are ridiculed.
After a while, the door was gently pushed open, and Sister Xu came with two women with white veils holding the qin.
"The two sons, today happens to cherish the spring and cherish the flowers, and the two sisters are idle, so let them accompany the sons, uh...... It's just that the son understands this rule, so I won't say more, the one on the table is the famous wine of our thirteen boats, and the two sons use it slowly. After speaking, Sister Xu withdrew. As for the rules she said, Li Keji had already told Li Sinan on the way here - thirteen celebrities, not selling their bodies.
Li Keji glanced at Li Sinan, who was leaning against the window and didn't even look at this side, and then he spoke up: "I have always heard that cherishing spring and cherishing flowers is one of the best among the thirteen ladies, but now I haven't seen a good face, but I also guessed that it must be Tianxiang country." ”
"Li Gongzi has won the award. Xihua is a little taller and dressed in purple: "The little woman is just a person of wind and moon, and I am afraid that only the piano art can enter the eyes of the son." With that, he sat down on the ground, his fingertips moving slightly, and the sound of the piano lingered.
"I warm wine for my son. "The voice of cherishing spring is gentle, making people feel like a spring breeze, and the heart is relaxed, and this alone is worthy of the reputation of thirteen ladies.
"Childe, please use wine. Xichun came to Li Sinan with a wine glass in both hands, and bowed slightly.
Li Sinan took the wine glass with a smile, but did not drink it immediately, but pointed to the lotus platform in the middle of the lake: "Miss Xichun, I don't know what the lotus platform is for?"
"Hehe, it seems that Childe is here for the first time, and he doesn't even know the most famous place in our Thirteen Boats. Xichun covered his mouth and snickered, and retreated to Xihua's piano, Xihua stopped plucking the strings, reached out and gently knocked on Xichun's head, and said: "Childe asks you, don't play poor." Xichun stuck out his tongue and was not angry.
Xihua touched Xichun's little head, looked at Li Sinan and explained: "Childe, don't blame, Xichun is not sensible, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Li Sinan shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "Then there is a pity for the flower girl to explain all kinds of interesting things about the thirteen boats below." ”
Xihua nodded: "There are thirteen ships in the thirteen boats, and naturally there are thirteen best girls, but no matter how good they are, in the eyes of the princes and generals, we are just Fengyue women who are worth spending some silver taels, but the sister who can stand on the lotus platform is different, just want to see her up close, you have to be prepared to spend money, and even if that sister is unwilling, even if you are the prince of the dynasty, you will not see it." Even so, there are still many powerful people who rush to her, just to listen to her songs, and to say that she is ashamed, the little woman is also ashamed of herself in front of that sister. ”
"Oh, then, that girl is worth seeing. Li Sinan did not shy away from cherishing spring and cherishing flowers right next to him.
Xihua is still smiling, not knowing whether she is happy or angry, but Xichun purses her lips, thinking to herself that this girl is not beautiful? Men are all flowery ghosts, and they want better ones if they have good ones.
"Hehe, it seems that Childe is really a coincidence, that sister will be here tonight, and Childe will have to seize the opportunity then. After Xihua finished speaking, she took the topic and continued to stroke the qin.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door.
