Chapter 571 Nostalgia
Xiao Shi looked at the table full of wine and delicacies, and he didn't have the slightest appetite, but he still couldn't help it...... A few more chopsticks, well, this is all a problem that fell all the way to escape, and the taste of starvation is not less than the taste of Xiao Shi.
Especially Dou Jiande, the most eaten from top to bottom is corn, and even Dou Jiande himself is no exception, fortunately, he didn't eat two-legged sheep over there......
Li Po was indeed hungry, but he didn't chew on the case as rudely as in the army, one chopstick after another, it seemed to be slow and methodical, but in fact, he ate quickly, and he was half full after a while.
In the middle, two men and women with very different backgrounds and experiences occasionally talked about a few words, and drank a glass, although there was no long speech, no laughter, but gradually less wary and embarrassed.
"Niangniang is a Jiangnan clan...... I heard that Jiangnan's literary style is flourishing and the characters are romantic, but I don't know what it looks like? ”
In terms of interacting with people, Li Po's ability is needless to say, the big thing has been decided, and a few words of effort have eased the atmosphere, and then he asked about the scenery of Jiangnan, which is the place that Xiao Shi misses the most, and the topic was brought up at once.
Jiangnan, Xiao Shi was in a trance......
Speaking of which, the ancestral home of the Xiao family in Jiangnan is actually in Lanling, Shandong, and it is rumored to be the descendant of Xiao He.
That is to say, it rose in the Western Han Dynasty and gradually flourished, and then declined in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after the Yongjia Rebellion, the Western Jin Dynasty moved south, and the Lanling Xiao clan crossed south and settled in Wujin.
At this time, the Lanling Xiao clan had already been among the world's gate valves, and when it was the time of the southern crossing, the Lanling Xiao clan was one of the main families.
Because of the large number of people in the Xiao clan of Lanling, after settling in Wujin, they soon occupied a county, and renamed it Nanlanling, they are the first of the four major overseas Chinese in the Southern Dynasties, and with the passage of time, they gradually became one of the top valves in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be described as unspeakably expensive.
They established two dynasties in the south of the Yangtze River, and had an inextricable relationship with the subsequent Chen Dynasty, and at their peak, they fought against the Yuan clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Gao clan of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and the Yuwen clan of the Western Wei Dynasty, and were the leaders of the gate valves in the south of the Yangtze River.
Like many families at that time, the war brought the ups and downs of the Xiao family, but the roots of the Xiao family were never broken for hundreds of years.
Until the Great Sui Dynasty ruled the world, the Xiao family and the Chen family entered Chang'an together, and the Guanxi gate valve at this time also came to the golden age, and the surnames of many of the world's top gate valves began to appear on the genealogy of various gate valves in the Kansai region, and the Jiangnan Xiao family was one of them.
Before that, when Empress Xiao entered Chang'an as the princess of Liang Kingdom, she was still a girl with drooping hair, and at that time, Western Liang was already poor under the pressure of the Great Sui, Northern Qi, and Southern Chen.
At that time, the Lanling Xiao clan was famous, but it was still one rank lower than other royal families, and it was a subordinate country of the Great Sui, so Emperor Wen Yang Jian chose a concubine for the Jin Dynasty to be a concubine in the Liang State.
Queen Xiao was actually living a hard life at that time, because of the unlucky relationship of the birth month, she was a princess, but she was raised in her uncle's house since she was a child.
What's even more unfortunate is that not long after, both uncle and uncle passed away, and the reputation of Empress Xiao, who was still ignorant at this time, was not very good in Jiangling City.
Later, he was adopted by his uncle's family, his uncle Zhang Ke was thrifty, the slaves were sparse, and everyone in the family had to take care of the housework, so Queen Xiao, who had been pampered for a few days, also began to do work, and the taste of sending people under the fence Queen Xiao had no less taste in her girlhood.
Maybe she's still alive now, maybe it's thanks to the experience of her youth.
It wasn't until Emperor Wen chose a concubine for Yang Guang, the king of Jin, that she came to run and became the princess of Jin, although she didn't live well before, but in the end she made a great contribution to the Xiao family.
The Lanling Xiao family was able to live a good life under the rule of the Great Sui, and most of them had to be given by Queen Xiao, didn't you see that Xiao Mill, who couldn't even get a full meal, was named a county order at that time?
Speaking of which, it is almost clear that this queen mother, who was born in the Xiao clan of Lanling, had never set foot in the land of Jiangnan before Yang Guang ascended the throne, and her ancestral home was not in Jiangnan, but in Shandong.
Lanling Xiao clan in the war tossing and turning, footprints almost all over the north and south of the river, now a small part of the clansmen in the south of Lanling, suffering from the war, part of it, in the Jingxiang area, most of the clansmen in Chang'an, Luoyang two settlements.
The Lanling Xiao clan still exists, but the clan is scattered, and if the war lasts longer, maybe the Lanling Xiao clan will have many more branches like the Yuwen clan, the Yuan clan, and the Gao clan.
But it can't be said that Xiao's nostalgia for the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River is fake, she grew up in Jiangling, which is a serious Jianghuai Valley, although in the north of the Yangtze River, it is different from the north.
When Yang Guang was the king of Jin, he was the governor of Yangzhou, and he pacified the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, which was one of Yang Guang's most important achievements when he was the king of the domain.
Especially during the period when Emperor Wen Yang Jian wantonly demolished Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, Yang Guang "asked for life for the people" and kept a large number of Buddhist temples and temples in Jiangnan, so that the Jiangnan people who believed in Buddhism were very grateful, so they were proud to be able to run under the door of King Jin.
At that time, Empress Xiao accompanied Yang Guangzhi to enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and soon became addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.
At this time, the flourishing of Jiangnan's literary style is not a chisel attached, the war at the end of the Jin Dynasty, the competition to cross to the south, coupled with the promotion of the local clans in Jiangnan, when the Hu style in the north is flourishing, Jiangnan has ushered in the most prosperous moment since the end of the Han Dynasty.
Even with the constraints of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, in the family families in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, the child servants and attendants can export the chapters, and there are not a few people who are proficient in literature and science.
Yang Guang and his wife were deeply affected at this time, especially the Xiao family, who was originally a lineage of the Xiao family in Lanling, and was the princess of Jin, in the eyes of the Jiangnan family, she was actually more popular than Yang Guang, the king of Jin.
And leaving the defeated Jiangling, the depressed Chang'an, Xiao finally experienced the taste of freedom in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, at that time, with the spread of Yang Guangxian's fame, there was also the reputation of Concubine Xiao, and the laurel of the world's first beauty was added to Xiao's head at this time.
As I said before, the peerless name has its own peerless place, and enjoying a good reputation in a place like Jiangnan is not only about how you can do it, but also how you can do it, this is an all-round evaluation.
Appearance, background, etiquette, talent, power, etc., etc., are mixed together to make everyone compete for praise, and then have a good name.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he went to Jiangdu three times, and he was accompanied by Empress Xiao every time, just because Empress Xiao liked it there.
After a long time, Empress Xiao woke up from her memories, sighed, and said in her characteristic gentle tone, "Characters like generals will also admire Jiangnan scenery?" ”
Li Po took the opportunity to eat a few pieces of meat, and when he heard such an answer, he stretched his neck hard, swallowed the piece of meat, blinked his eyes and thought, are you scolding? Is it said that we are a rude martial artist who is not worthy of being compared with Jiangnan characters?
Of course, even if Empress Xiao has this intention, it is also a fact, I didn't see Yang Guang in Jiangnan with a little literary temperament, and when he came back, he bragged to the people in Guanxi, according to Wencai, should I also be your emperor?
The southerners say that the northerners are vulgar, and the northerners say that the southerners are weak, and this has been the case since ancient times, even thousands of years later, let alone today.
In fact, after saying this, Queen Xiao regretted it.
At this time, she no longer knew that the person in front of her was different from Dou Jiande and others, even if she had lived for more than 40 years in vain, this person was not rude, on the contrary, it was quite interesting to talk about, different from vulgarity, and there was no artificiality.
Even if it is not as elegant and chic as the Jiangnan characters, in terms of speech and demeanor, it is actually worthy of the words "man in the gate".
This made her quite relieved, and even some didn't want this "uninvited guest" to leave, of course, don't think about other places, this person has just been lonely for a long time, and wants to find someone to talk to.
In fact, Li Po mentioned the story of Jiangnan, and he was scratching the itch of the queen's mother, for a few years, fewer and fewer people mentioned Jiangnan in front of her, and the people in the north were red-eyed, and when they saw the world's first beauty appear in front of them, what else could they have besides coveting their beauty and use value?
This person is actually the same, but it is not easy to accompany her for a few words and make her laugh a few times, besides, this person may still have some secrets......
"The palace lost his words, the general is not to blame...... When the main palace was in Chang'an, the Kansai man talked about the characters in the south of the Yangtze River, and he was very contemptuous, and he thought the same would be true for the general......"
Li Po smiled, interrupted her words, and began to work hard to correct the name of the Kansai boy.
"Thousands of miles of warblers cry green and red, and the water village mountain Guo wine flag wind. There are 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and how many buildings are in the smoke and rain. Jiang Nanchen has never been there, but he also knows that where the literary style is at its peak, there must be something to be desired. ”
"It's just that if today's turmoil and wars are raging, the characters in Jiangnan are better than those in the north, and they are indeed inferior, the minister advises Niangniang, even if Niangniang is homesick, it is better not to go back, some people say that it is good, if you don't have a white head, don't return to Jiangnan."
Xiao's consternation can be imagined, because even if she wanted to break her head, she would never have thought that the young man in front of her, who started in the military, would still be able to export his chapters.
And then her profound literary literacy instinctively played a role, the four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings in the smoke and rain, it was simply a fatal knife, the queen mother who suffered from chaos, only imagined it a little, and her eyes were red......
I wanted to say something, but I choked in my throat, and my sadness subsided for a long time, but I asked as if I was whispering, "I don't know...... Less than Baitou, Mo Guijiangnan's mouth is from anyone's mouth, he is really willing to ......"
Li Po's body was crispy, and he had a lot of goosebumps, and he was used to seeing the red powder of the Northland, and he couldn't accept the style of the Jiangnan beauty.
At this time, Li Po felt that it was time to end this conversation, his grasp of people's hearts was much more accurate than Xiao's, Xiao's tone, demeanor and actions were all showing that his precautionary heart was greatly reduced.
If we continue to talk, maybe if he wants to, something else may happen...... He also experienced the true power of these famous sentences once again.
