Chapter 208: Showing Your Talents
The things were indeed finished, and the servants came one after another, put away the plates, and then replaced them with water, wine, melons and fruits. It's just that this water wine is not a wine fairy brew, that thing is indeed a treasure for wine lovers, but the degree is too big.
After blending and cellaring, the taste of Jiuxianjiu does make some wine lovers linger, but the problem is now Wenhui. After a few glasses of wine, I got drunk, so can the Wenhui go on?
Therefore, Du Kang wine was used, and the degree was between 10 and 15 degrees, which was already considered a medium to high grade at that time. Rao is so, this Du Kang wine, it seems that it is still turbid wine at present.
Either wait for Cao Cao to improve, or improve it yourself, otherwise you want it to be clear, and some wait.
Liu Tao said secretly, what's wrong with liking food, the first gourmand in the Three Kingdoms, or Cao Cao - has improved the brewing process of Du Kang wine, passed down the production process of several sauces, and is a proper foodie.
Yuan Kui took the lead, and the next step was basically the time for young people to chant poems and show their talents. Liu Tao keenly found that in the courtyard not far away, the ladies were frolicking there, and the movement here should be transmitted to that side.
It just feels so strange, as if twenty white horses are performing inside, and a dozen rich women are judging outside...... After having this kind of thought, I suddenly saw those who were desperately showing off their talents, and it really smelled like that.
"I heard that Liu Zhonglang has also studied under Master Lu for several years, I don't know what talents he will have?" The picker really came out, "The six arts of the gentleman, I don't know what Liu Zhonglang is good at?" ”
"Liu Zhonglang was awarded for his military exploits, so he is naturally good at archery." Huangfu Li came forward and said that he was Huangfu Song's nephew and a rising star of the younger generation. Maybe it seems that Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song's friendship came forward to help.
The six arts of the gentleman - etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy and mathematics, in fact, Liu Tao is not very good at etiquette, archery and royalty. Most of the battlefields are commanded, and at most they go into battle under the protection of their own guards, and rarely enter the enemy formation like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
"Actually, I also have a little bit of research on music, books and mathematics." In this case, of course, it is necessary to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses, so Liu Tao pushed Zhang Fei out beside him, "But when it comes to paintings, they are far inferior to my righteous brother." ”
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this, Liu Tao knows the six arts of a gentleman, everyone is not surprised, but Zhang Fei next to him, no matter how you look at it, he is a rough man, painting is so high-end, or he is good at careful things?
"Haha, it seems that everyone still doesn't believe it?" Liu Tao laughed when he saw this, "Yide, didn't you ask you to bring your latest paintings?" Let everyone taste and taste! ”
Zhang Fei suddenly realized, no wonder before coming out, Liu Tao asked him to choose one or two new works to bring over, it turned out to be for this time.
"Brother, my handy graffiti work is really difficult to get into the elegant hall......" Zhang Fei said modestly, even if the painting is good, now I have to say that.
After all, if there are more powerful people coming out, then I would have already said this, so I won't be ashamed. But if not, then it can be a fair slap in the face, since it is a sure profit, why not do it?
Danqing paintings, the literary club will naturally not be less, talented scribes, themselves will also exchange painting skills. In other words, in fact, there are many enthusiasts in this area.
A lot of people like to draw, this thing is very time-saving, in the era of games, this is the best way to have fun. The better the work, the more time it consumes.
Of course, the guest of honor must not be this empty, there are so many official duties of the three princes and nine secretaries, how can there be leisure to paint slowly? At most, practicing a word or something is already rare.
But who has never been young, and has participated in a lot of cultural meetings. Even if you are not good at painting, you still have the ability to appreciate paintings.
Zhang Fei slowly unfolded the painting, and as expected, two pictures of ladies. One was made on Guangzong's side, idle and bored, because of the atmosphere at that time, the ladies painted were a little more heroic in temperament.
So Liu Tao suggested at that time that he could paint a woman in military uniform, a woman dressed as a man, and the army as a background on behalf of his father. He even maliciously wondered if this painting would become the prototype of "Mulan" if it was passed down - he had been thinking about this from the beginning.
"This is a woman, right? But why dress up? "When the painting was opened, it really had an impact on many people.
The woman in the painting lacks the delicate and charming of a woman, and has a little more heroism and fighting spirit, and even the vicissitudes of a long battle. It's just a painting, and the woman in the painting is not very beautiful, but the first time she sees it, it makes people feel pity.
"There are twelve volumes of military books, the scrolls have the name of the grandfather, the grandfather has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother, and he is willing to be a saddle horse for the city, and he will fight for the grandfather from now on." Liu Tao saw that everyone was puzzled, so he simply read this sentence out.
"Could it be that this woman is a real person?" Everyone was surprised that there was still a situation of serving in the army on behalf of his father.
"Rumors, not credible...... Just have fun. Liu Tao shook his head.
"What Liu Zhonglang read just now, it should be a Yuefu poem, but why, I have never heard it before?" Huang Fuli seemed to realize something, so he looked at Liu Tao excitedly.
"I also heard this rumor by chance, so I felt something. Although I am a martial arts official, I am a Confucian disciple in the end. The six arts of a gentleman, not to mention being proficient in everything, at least must be able to do so. Liu Tao said with emotion.
"So, is there a full text of this poem?" There must be some people who are very curious about this poem, after all, the artistic conception is very good.
"Since everyone is interested, then I will be ugly......" Liu Tao saw that everyone's eyes were blazing, and he had no choice but to memorize "Mulan Ci", of course, there are some places that have to be changed.
Seeing that the military post can be retained, the khan must change it, otherwise something big will definitely happen. Liu Tao remembered that others later studied and said that the Khan and the later Son of Heaven should not be a person, the Khan was the ruler of the area where Mulan lived, and the Son of Heaven was the ruler of this regime.
The Son of Heaven wants to fight, and the local chief, the local clansmen, or the Han people to fight, every household has to send people, so Mulan's family is pointed. After all, the period in which she lived was the north of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the regime itself was relatively chaotic.
Therefore, it may be better to change the khan to a county guard. Each county set up a taishou with the assistance of the commander in charge of the recruitment, training, assessment and review, maintenance of law and order, leading the army to the expedition, as well as the manufacture and management of weapons and equipment.
According to the military service of the Han Dynasty, the common people began military service at the age of 23 and could only retire at the age of 56. Mulan's father may be in the stage of service, so it is normal to be pointed.
"I didn't expect Liu Zhonglang's poetry to be equally good." Yuan Kui came forward to praise.
"In the past, when I was at home, I didn't know the hardships of being in the army, but I enlisted in the army for half a year, and I felt a lot of emotion." Liu Tao said humbly. became a copyist again, if he could, he didn't want to go too far on this road, after all, this thing was getting narrower and narrower.
It doesn't really mean to delve into it, and if it can be avoided in the future, it will be exempted. Otherwise, 'Jiang Lang is exhausted', and it will be a joke in vain.
"The military is indeed very exercised,......" Zhu Jun laughed, he said this, it was really convincing. is famous for being a small official, but he has risen in battle, and in terms of position, he feels that Liu Tao is very similar to himself, so he has a better impression.
