Chapter 406: Pants and Laba
The phoenix seeks the phoenix.
"But it is said that when the Nuwa clan was refining stones to make up for the sky, they refined 36,800 pieces of stubborn stones 12 zhang high and 24 zhang square in the Wuji Cliff of the Great Wilderness Mountain. Emperor Nawa only used 36,800 yuan, and only one piece was left unused, and it was discarded under the Qinggang Peak......"
“…… Baoyu walked to Daiyu and sat down, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Has my sister ever studied?" Daiyu said: I haven't studied, I've only been in school for one year, and I need to recognize a few words......"
It is "Dream of Red Mansions".
Li Mu will talk about "Dream of Red Mansions" in Fengqiuhuang, all because Dugu Jiu said that he leaked his mouth, and he told Li Zhien about telling "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the valley, and Li Zhien is the most good story, so he pestered Li Mu to tell her. But Li Mu talked about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but she didn't like to listen to this kind of fighting, killing and killing, so she pestered her to change it.
Li Mu is not a writer, where to find so much inspiration, or can only choose from the four famous novels, "Journey to the West" is not successful, the monk Xuanzang smuggled out of the country for only three years, and has not returned, it is easy to expose this stuffing. "Water Margin" is even more unsuccessful, after all, it is a matter of pulling the flag and rebelling, what will Li Shimin think when he hears it? And the fights and killings in it are no less than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is not in line with Li Zhien's requirements to make human meat buns at every turn, and to chop them into faces.
In this way, you can only choose "Dream of Red Mansions". Although "Dream of Red Mansions" was born in the Qing Dynasty, the book actually uses the Spring and Autumn period penmanship for the era, and makes a certain degree of concealment.
And Li Mu doesn't have to care about these things when he tells this story now, because it is the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming and Qing dynasties are all a thousand years later, and they don't exist, so he just talks nonsense. Well, there is no need to have a special classification of the station, which is called "alternate history". All unreasonable things, put on these two words to become reasonable, when you meet the bar essence, you can also get out of the body, Lao Tzu is empty, what do you want me to do?
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, one person is also talking, and a group of people are also talking. And Li Mu also wanted to solicit business, so he directly set up a table in the store, chiseled a 'shocking wood' with his own hands, and became a storyteller.
On the first day, the female guests were a little strange. But from the second day, Baoyu and Daiyu met, and the plot entered the main topic, and everyone fell into it. Every morning, as soon as the door of the store opened, customers poured in, and shopping was secondary, just to listen to Li Mu's "Dream of Red Mansions" for half an hour.
Of course, the guests who can enter the phoenix to seek consumption are also characters with heads and faces, and no one will prostitute in vain. When I leave, I will buy something to some extent. Silver mirror perfumes are expensive and don't need much, so soaps and soaps are popular choices. In the past few days, sales of soap and soap have reached a peak.
After entering Layue, Li Mu also became lazy. His current life is to finish breakfast every day, tell the female guests of Fengqiu Huang about "Dream of Red Mansions" for half an hour, and then tinker with skill proficiency for a while.
In the afternoon, after lunch, he would set off with Dugu Jiu to the valley, lying in the car on the way to practice internal skills, and after inspecting the valley, he would talk about "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for half an hour as a benefit to the students.
At a certain moment, Li Mu felt like a network writer, and he was the kind of double order that was more chased by readers. This heavy sense of anxiety makes people shudder to think about it.
The days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was Laba. And in the past few days, "Dream of Red Mansions" has spread all over Chang'an City, and those female guests who have listened to the story have always been unable to help but want to share it with others when they return to their homes. First the maids in the family, then relatives and daughters, etc., so word of mouth, every day Li Mu's 'update' is over, and before noon, all corners of Chang'an City have been spread.
And the story of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not spread because the students of Datang Vocational and Technical College have not yet taken a holiday, otherwise it must have the same effect.
But it's also fast, because Li Mu plans to give the students a holiday.
Li Mu also saw Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien Zhang Luo in the past few days to know that the eighth day of the lunar month in the Tang Dynasty had both the roles of 'Laba' and 'Xiao Nian'. In Li Mu's previous life, the twenty-three years of the northern lunar month and the twenty-fourth lunar year of the southern lunar month were used to worship the king of the stove. Prepare sacrifices and honey and offer them to the Lord of the Stove, the purpose is to invite him to return to Heaven to 'report on his work', and to bless the family in front of the Jade Emperor. The so-called God says good things, and returning to the palace is auspicious, which is what he is talking about.
In the Tang Dynasty, everyone did this in Laba.
It's only a few days away, and Li Mu can't accept it. But the difference in the customs of the Laba Festival surprised him a little. In Li Mu's previous life, the custom of Laba Festival, everyone can remember, that is, drink some Laba porridge. And most people drink laba porridge is not the kind they boil at home, they all join in the fun and buy a canned eight-treasure porridge in the supermarket to deal with it.
But in the Tang Dynasty, Laba Ke was an important festival.
Early in the morning, everyone wants to sacrifice to the king of the stove. From the emperor to the common people, it is a must to be done. After all, the Son of Heaven can't really go to heaven, but the Lord of the Stove can go to heaven, and he inevitably has to do his best. Li Mu, as a nobleman, was notified on the first day that he wanted to sacrifice to the king of the stove with Li Shimin and hundreds of officials. After the sacrificial ceremony, everyone drinks porridge together. After drinking the porridge, Li Shimin waved his hand, and Gonggong Gao stood up with the holy decree and read a long list of rewards.
This one gives some cloth, that one gives some rice, no matter how many civil and military ministers are, they can get a little, which is a bit similar to the year-end bonus he issued in his previous life. Although in Li Mu's opinion, a few buckets of rice and two pieces of cloth are nothing to be excited about, and he does not lack this, but the fact that he has no share still makes him a little angry. Everyone has a year-end bonus, you can't just give it because I'm rich! And these things were all made by Li Shimin, and asked the hundred officials to go to the warehouse of the Internal Affairs Office to collect them!
No wonder the god Gao came mysteriously to ask for the inventory list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago, it turned out to be a reward! I knew this was the case, so I hid it at the time!
Li Mu snorted and squinted his eyes, and was looked at by Cheng Yanjin. The old rascal took advantage of Li Shimin's inattention, moved to Li Mu's side, pushed his elbow against his waist, and gloated: "Boy, isn't it very angry that you don't have your share?" ”
"Angry, what's the solution?" Li Mu said angrily: "Without my share, I can still bear it, the key is ...... These rewards are all from my internal affairs office! Uncle Cheng, don't look at the stall of the Internal Affairs Office, it doesn't seem to be bad for money, who doesn't have a difficult scripture? How can you know that firewood and rice are expensive, and Your Majesty's generous reward is all a little bit of things that I have saved with great difficulty, is it easy? ”
Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "You are right, thanks to you, the hundred officials can get a little bit of something this year." Do you know how shabby it was last year? ”
"What?"
"You may not believe it!" Cheng Biting Jin pouted and said: "Last year, the old man was rewarded with a bucket of rice and half a piece of cloth, half a piece of cloth!" Look at my physique, it's not enough to make a robe! ”
Li Mu glanced at Cheng Biting Jin, and said secretly in his heart, looking at your 'general's belly', it is really enough to choke.
"Oh, uncle, you're not bad at that. If I were you, I wouldn't want it. ”
"You can't do that!" When Cheng Yanjin heard this, he immediately said: "Thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces, how can you not want it because the reward is small?" No matter how much, it is His Majesty's will, and those who are courtiers should accept it happily. You have to learn this from me, and you have to know how to be grateful. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Biting Jin leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered, "It's not a secret, virtuous nephew." The pants I'm wearing now are made of half a piece of cloth that was given to me last year. ”
"Huh" Li Mu grinned and said, "Uncle, you are really"
The two chatted and chatted, and were finally noticed by Li Shimin. Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Li Mu, Zhijie, what are you talking about?" ”
"Oh!" Li Mu hurriedly answered and said: "Your Majesty forgives me, the minister did not deliberately disturb the order, but it was really because of the imbalance in his heart that he couldn't help but complain." Uncle Cheng is enlightening the minister, and the minister has accepted the enlightenment, and he has already thought about it, balanced, comfortable, and not depressed......"
Li Mu's comparison made Li Shimin's expression a little ugly. How could he not know what Li Mu meant, coughed awkwardly, and said, "That...... I don't reward you, not because I favor one over the other. You don't lack this stuff, don't you, so why bother? ”
Your Majesty said this, and the minister had to refute it. Just now, Uncle Cheng educated the ministers, and the thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen, and those who are courtiers should happily accept it. And the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, only the minister only got the thunder of His Majesty, but he couldn't feel the slightest rain and dew, it's really difficult! Uncle Cheng also said that he made half a piece of cloth rewarded by His Majesty last year into pants and wore it on his body every day, so that he could feel His Majesty's kindness all the time."
When Baiguan heard this, he really couldn't help it, and the Liangyi Hall burst into laughter. Cheng Yanjin blushed, raised his foot and kicked at Li Mu, and said, "Bastard boy, even the old man, do you have to arrange it?" ”
Li Mu dodged and continued: "Uncle, the little nephew didn't lie, that's what you meant just now. He looked at Li Shimin with a helpless face again, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't ask for more, but only asks for half a piece of cloth, make a few pants to wear, and let the minister feel His Majesty's kindness." In this way, the minister will have the motivation to lead the Internal Affairs Office to make more money for His Majesty, and in the coming year's Laba, it will also give the princes more things. ”
Li Shimin said angrily: "You kid Hugh thinks I can't hear what you mean!" That's right, you earned what I bounced you...... Come on, don't ask for credit, I won't treat you badly, I will promote you today"
Li Shimin was about to take this opportunity to promote Li Mu to duke, but just as he was about to say it, a loud shout interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, please think again! Li Mu has already lived in the third grade, and one step further, he is Zaifu. At such a young age, how could he be in such a high position, Mu Xiu would be destroyed by the forest wind, this was not rewarding him, but harming him! ”
Li Mu slanted his eyes at Wei Zheng, who was speaking, and scolded in his heart, Lao Tzu likes to be destroyed by strong winds, can't he? You old boy cares so much, use you to pretend to be a good person!
"This ......" Li Shimin also felt that it was not unreasonable when he heard Wei Zheng's words, looked at Li Mu, and said, "What do you think?" ”
The eyes of the hundred officials also looked over, and they were all curious about what Li Mu thought.
"Your Majesty!" Li Mu's eyes rolled and said, "The minister thinks that His Majesty should be a vassal...... King! ”
What?
The hundred officials were stunned, this, this kid can't find death! Are you a prince? How dare you ask to be crowned king?!
Li Shimin also smiled angrily and said, "Boy, I didn't hear what you said. ”
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is not unfounded." Li Mu had a straight face and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is really a genius, you must not underestimate it." The minister will not boast, just simply talk about what the minister has been doing recently. The minister has now cultivated ninety-eight still living talents for His Majesty."
Li Shimin was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "What does it mean to be alive and dead?" ”
"No, no, no," Li Mu hurriedly shook his head and said, "What the minister means is that those who can still persist may become talents." Those who can't persist in being eliminated can't be counted. ”
Li Shimin glared at him and didn't say anything, Li Mu continued: "Your Majesty, you think, the minister is just like what Kong Sheng did back then." Confucius taught seventy-two disciples, and these disciples recruited a wide range of disciples, and Confucianism flourished. As for I, Li Mu, I now have ninety-eight disciples, and in the future they will accept more disciples. Perhaps 800 years later, there will be a doctrine in the world called ...... Uh, it's called, engineering, yes, it's called engineering! I am Li Shengren, and Changsun Chong is my Yan Hui! ”
"Oh yes," Eldest Sun Wuji was really startled when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Don't bring a dog when you kid talks nonsense, the dog is incompetent, and he can't be Yan Hui." ”
"Zilu can also be."
"You're done! None of them should be! ”
Kong Yingda was even more angry that his eyes were about to pop out, and he snorted angrily and said, "The kid is arrogant, arrogant!" But beyond that, nothing else. The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was originally a large number of madmen, unlike after Zhu Xi's science in later generations, if he said something wrong, he would be criticized and criticized, and he could still brag in this era.
Li Mu is undoubtedly a braggart leader, his mouth is not easy to mess with, and he immediately ridiculed each other: "Kong Sheng was also looked down upon back then, no one thought that he could become a saint, but a thousand years later, he is still a saint." Who can say what will happen in the future, you think I can't make it, then work hard, live for 800 years, see if I can make it, if anyone can live, remember to come to my grave and tell me, anyway, I won't live 800 years later. ”
Li Mu glanced at Kong Yingda and said, "Old Kong, I think you will definitely live for eight hundred years, I am optimistic about you!" 166 Reading Network
