Chapter 43: It's so cool
Liu Chan was very distressed.
When I came out of the palace, I was full of thoughts, and many figures appeared in my mind, but they all flashed.
"Both civil and military, chanting poems against each other, arranging troops...... And it is also pleasing to the eyes of the eldest princess......"
As the county lord of Zhao State, and she is eager to seek talents, she naturally knows many talented young talents.
But to take all of these things into account, it's a bit difficult.
Of course, it is not for nothing that there are people who are both civil and military.
After thinking all the way, when she was about to return to the mansion, she suddenly opened the curtain of the carriage and ordered outside: "Wu Sheng, you immediately take five guards, hurry up and return to Zhao State, and invite Qin Shijie and Wang Fang to Kyoto, just say that it is my order." ”
Wu Sheng agreed, and was about to leave, Liu Chan said again: "Wait, invite the prince's friend Chu Kuo too, and by the way, tell the prince, study hard, I will check it when I go back." ”
"Yes!"
Wu Sheng immediately selected five guards and patted his horse away.
The carriage stopped at the door of the mansion, and the servant who drove the carriage lifted the curtain, put down the carriage bench on the ground, and bowed to wait.
Liu Chan glanced at the sky outside and said, "Let's go to the restaurant." ”
It's still early, she is worried now, and she has no sleep, so it is better to go to the restaurant to drink some wine and listen to the music outside.
The carriage immediately started and drove to the restaurant.
"The poetry is against it, the march is arranged, there must be no force, and it must be pleasing to the eye...... Hey......"
Liu Chan sighed all the way.
The few people she selected from Zhao State just now, although they are all all-rounders in civil and military affairs, no one knows what their specific strength is.
And none of them really went to the battlefield, not even the army.
And that Li Pinggong, according to the eldest princess, is not only a famous talent in Kyoto, poetry is at his fingertips, the theory of governing the country is also very insightful, and the arrangement of troops has also been praised by several generals, and the most important thing is that people have indeed followed his father to see the army and war.
If you want to compare him, I'm afraid it's very difficult.
The eldest princess gave her this problem, which really gave her a headache.
But it's also an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As long as she handles this matter well, the enmity between her father and brother and her brother's position as King Zhao can be resolved.
The eldest princess has never made promises easily, as long as she promises something, she will definitely be able to do it.
Therefore, she must try her best to find a wishful husband for the eldest princess within ten days!
"I hope that the three of Qin Shijie are not in vain."
Liu Chan prayed secretly in her heart.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the restaurant.
It just so happened that Wei Yan took Liu Aiji and others, accompanied by a young son, out of the restaurant.
"Sister Chan?"
Wei Yan saw her get down from the carriage, and hurriedly greeted her, and said strangely: "It's so late, why are you coming to the restaurant?" ”
Liu Chan glanced at the men and women behind him and said, "Is the matter done?" ”
Wei Yan nodded and said, "Well, thank you Sister Chan for your guards." ”
Liu Chan snorted and said, "But you are ungrateful." I asked Grandpa Wang to take two plates of braised pork, but you didn't even want to give one plate, you say, are you excessive? ”
Wei Yan said aggrievedly: "You can't blame me, when he came, there were only the last two sets, and I still had to entertain friends." If it weren't for the old eunuch's pleading, I wouldn't have wanted to give it. ”
"You are so bold, Grandpa Wang is the person next to you!"
Liu Chan hated and hated.
That naturally refers to the eldest princess.
Wei Yan shrugged his shoulders and said, "The thing has happened, and the one who is to blame must be to blame you." You should know by now what a serious consequence it is to cheat on a man and beat a man, right? ”
"You ......"
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing, and said, "You guy, it turns out that you are taking revenge." ”
"Brother Yan, who are you talking to?"
At this moment, Liu Xie Wei walked over and looked at the woman dressed as a man with vigilant eyes.
Wei Yan glanced at Liu Chan and said in a low voice: "Liu Ai's little sister, Liu Xie worries." ”
Liu Chan's eyes narrowed, glanced at the pretty and lovely girl, and then looked behind her.
"Wei Yan, are you going back?"
Liu Chan asked.
Liu Xie Wu immediately interjected: "No, we're going to the painting boat in the back!" Brother Yan promised to take me up. Who are you? ”
The girl's eyes were like knives, and she was aggressive.
Liu Chan smiled slightly and said, "I am your brother's friend, you can just call me Sister Chan." ”
"Hmph."
Liu Xie snorted, ignored her anymore, and was about to pull Wei Yan away by his arm.
Liu Yi already knew about this woman, and when he was hesitating whether to come forward to pay respects, Liu Chan said: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so let's go and play with you." ”
Most of the paintings are talented and talented, and there may be unexpected joys.
Liu Xie was about to refuse, but Wei Yan said, "Okay, then let's go." ”
It takes money to get on the boat, at least five taels of silver per person, and it is necessary to have a familiar talent to carry it, and only the most famous few talents can take people for free.
Since the county lord is going, he can naturally save a lot of money.
The young man behind Wei Yan, named Tang Jie, is a loyal fan of braised pork and a well-known talent.
If they want to get on the boat, they naturally need to have a talented person who knows them to go up, otherwise no matter how much money they have, it will be in vain, so Wei Yan befriended this Tang genius at the price of two bowls of free braised pork tomorrow night.
As for why he went to the painting boat, it was not only because Liu Xie was shouting to go, but also to relieve Liu Wu's worry.
Tonight's incident not only hit Liu Wuwu very hard, but also made her feel very embarrassed and embarrassed, especially when facing Wei Yan.
When the matchmaker left with Wu Qing before, she was in a trance and was about to flee from here, but was stopped by Liu Ai and Liu Jiewei.
After eating, Liu Jiewu proposed that he wanted to go to the painting boat to play, naturally not just because he wanted to play.
If Liu Wuwu goes back like this, it is estimated that they will all have to worry.
The sound of singing and piano on the painting boat, the laughter of talented women and talented women, and the lively sound of all kinds of poems and lyrics are estimated to dilute the mood of this little haze a lot.
And she usually likes these things, too.
Therefore, Wei Yan immediately went to meet this Tang Gongzi, and he took him with him, preparing to board the painting boat.
"It's a lot of people."
Tang Jie, who was round, looked at the large group of people behind him, and his face showed an embarrassed expression.
Wei Yan smiled: "Add one more bowl, three bowls of braised pork." ”
Tang Jie immediately smiled and said, "No matter how many people there are, as long as they report my name as Tang Jie, absolutely no one will dare to stop them." ”
The three boats are lavishly decorated, all side by side, with wide wooden planks between them, allowing them to come and go freely.
The rows of lanterns lit up the ship as if it were daytime.
Tang Jie stood on the bridge and took a look, and said with a smile: "There is a poetry meeting held tonight, and the three painting boats have been contracted by the three green buildings, and it is estimated that they are all inviting people to fight poetry to add fame to their top brands and artists." ”
Wei Yan said a little squirtily: "The person who wins should have a lot of money to take, right?" ”
Tang Jie glanced at him strangely, but thinking that he was the owner of the restaurant, he naturally focused on money, so he had to explain: "The most important thing is not money, but fame, and the Oiran of the Qinglou...... Hehe. ”
He turned his head to look at the girls behind him and closed his mouth.
Wei Yan still said: "How much money can the person who wins?" ”
Tang Jie was speechless for a moment, glanced at him with some disgust, and said: "At least one hundred taels, but like tonight's battle, the three green buildings have all made their own top cards, and the winner is estimated to have at least three hundred taels of silver." ”
Speaking of this, he still couldn't help but snort coldly, glanced at him and said, "Boss Wei, no one on the boat would think of those silver." As long as you win, you will gain a lot of fame, and that fame can bring you all kinds of rich rewards, what is a few hundred taels of silver? That Zhang Bangyan and a few people wrote a poem casually, and it was more than three hundred taels of silver. ”
Wei Yan was speechless.
Although I knew that the literati of this era were very profitable, I really didn't expect that they would be so profitable.
Tang Jie leaned into his ear again, and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that if you have fame, no matter which Qinglou you go to visit or which top brand you sleep on, you don't need money, and you are served comfortably, begging and shouting to you every day." Cool, right? ”
Wei Yan had to say with his eyes shining: "It's so cool." ”
Then he asked in a low voice: "After that, can you ask those top brands to ask for silver flowers?" ”
"Smack!"
Tang Jie stumbled, fell to the ground, and threw himself to the ground.
