Chapter 540: Snow in the Courtyard
The Tang Dynasty is an unrestrained era, from the emperor to the subjects, there is a real sense of **** self-confidence, self-confidence is strong enough, there is a rare tolerant attitude towards everything, as if everything in the world is under control, as small as the Tang Dynasty women like to imitate foreign hairstyles and headdresses, to the capital Chang'an One Hundred and Eight Squares everywhere There are exotic buildings, and even foreign religions are allowed to preach in Chang'an City and recruit disciples.
For example, in the ninth year of Zhenguan, a group of high-nosed and green-eyed Hu people came from the distant Great Qin State, and this group of Hu people was personally received by Xuanling, the left servant of Shangshu Province at that time, and their religious name was "Nestolius", and after coming to Chang'an, they were renamed "Jingjiao", and their religious treasures ...... The name "Bible", yes, Nestorianism is the Christianity of later generations, which was introduced to China as early as the Tang Dynasty.
The leader of the Hu people at that time was later given the name "Aroben" by Li Shimin himself, which means "sent by God", and allowed them to build several monasteries in Chang'an for preaching and preaching. At that time, China's two major religions, Taoism and Buddhism, saw that someone came to grab food and did not kill them, which shows how broad the mind of the Tang Dynasty is, just like the sea......
The minds of the Tang Dynasty monarchs and the people are so broad, or that sentence, strong self-confidence is enough to tolerate everything, the so-called "sea embraces all rivers" is this meaning, and the source of self-confidence comes from the invincible Tang Dynasty Wangshi, simply put, the so-called "tolerance", in fact, is to believe that anything can be in their own hands, if one day you find that you can't master this thing, then, the king goes, destroy it, self-confidence, is based on strong strength.
Datang's tolerance. It is also reflected in ****.
The so-called "****" refers not only to men and women, but also to men and women...... Well, yes, that's right, it's commonly known as "engaging in base".
Same-sex men are good. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was said to be an elegant thing, and the same was true of the Tang Dynasty, many powerful families raised young and beautiful men or boys, and even summoned the man to the hall to accompany the waiter to pour wine when the banquet was entertained, and drank to the place where he forgot to hug the man to eat some small tofu, kiss and hug, scratch and touch, attracting the envious eyes of the guests in the hall, and they never had contempt or discrimination in their eyes. is really envious, and feels that this matter is very elegant, enough to be remembered.
In short, as long as you like people, whether they are men or women, they are tolerated by the world, and even the love of men and women is more elegant and higher than the love between men and women. The scale is very large, of course. Humans and animals are not allowed, and no matter how tolerant they are, there is a bottom line.
Therefore, Xiangxin's affection for the prince is not discriminated against, but unfortunately, the person in his heart is the prince.
A love is as deep as the sea. One has passed a thousand sails, one looks up, the other looks down, and there is the helplessness of being used as a pawn involuntarily.
However, chess pieces also have feelings. The more depressed, the more painful.
Satisfied knelt in the dark alley and cried bitterly, I don't know how long he cried, when Yue'er had risen to the treetops, the pain in his heart was finally almost vented, so he wiped away his tears, stood up, walked out of the dark alley alone, turned a corner out of the alley, and walked a little further, and arrived in front of the East Palace.
He looked at the guards patrolling the shuttle in front of the East Palace, and then looked up at the bright and solemn lintel, sniffed his nose vigorously, showed a sad smile, and walked towards the East Palace with his chest up.
I once thought that I could stay with the prince for the rest of his life, but everything he experienced in the dark alley just now was like a resounding slap in the face, which completely woke him up.
It turned out that he was just a passer-by in his life, whether he was born or died, the days of leaving him had begun to count down.
****************************************************************
After Wang Zhi received the satisfactory news, he hurriedly sent people to verify the reliability of the information provided by the satisfactory heart. In the past few years, Wang Zhi has become more and more shrewd and capable, and he has become much more mature, he changed a few years ago, and he must have found Li Su as soon as he got the news, and Li Su judged the truth or falsehood of the news, so he didn't care. But now, Wang Zhi took the initiative to do things, and did not go to Taiping Village immediately after getting the news, but first carefully verified, confirmed the truth of the news, and then told Li Su, after all, he is also a person who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, except for Li Su, Wang Zhi retains a wariness and suspicion of everyone, especially symmetry, looking at his lingering appearance towards the prince, Wang Zhi doubts in his heart.
Compared with Wang Zhi and the idlers in Chang'an City, who were busy on their backs, Li Su was so leisurely in Taiping Village.
The joy of life lies in ...... Eat and sleep.
At least for Li Su, this is the meaning of his life.
If you don't eat and sleep with all your might, where can you have the strength to think about the meaning of life?
The first snow after the winter in Guanzhong stopped, the earth was wrapped in silver makeup, and a thick layer of snow accumulated in the courtyard, Steward Xue was organizing the people in the house to clean, he was in his fifties, but Steward Xue's spirit was very good, wrapped in a thick sheepskin jacket, covering his slightly fat body tightly, his face was full of red light, and he didn't know if he had just secretly sipped a few sips of wine in the Lang room, and his commanding voice could be heard throughout the house, and from time to time he flew up a leg and kicked a lazy subordinate, and his skills were very vigorous.
Li Su was half-lying in the main hall, with a pot of red-burning charcoal beside him, an iron chain hanging from the beam of the house, and an iron hook at the top, and a pot of water hanging from the hook, which happened to be facing the charcoal fire, and after boiling for a while, the water in the pot gurgled and the water was boiling.
The fire is very comfortable, Li Su doesn't want to move, Shangshu Province has been on an errand for most of the month, last night Fang Xuanling sent someone to pass the word, recently Chang'an heavy snow closed the road, there are many inconveniences in traveling, and Li Su is not bad.
So Li Su got up early in the morning, after eating two steamed buns and a bowl of spicy soup, he sat in the main hall to roast the fire, and enjoyed the snow scene in the courtyard by the way.
People don't have to go too hurriedly in this life, the pace may as well be slower, slow enough to be sure that they are moving forward, and at the same time do not miss the scenery on both sides of the truth, this rhythm is the most suitable rhythm for themselves.
The spring breeze is warm. The splendor of summer flowers, the quiet beauty of autumn leaves, and the splendoring of winter snow......
Look, every year, every season, every day. There are so many beautiful landscapes in heaven and earth waiting for you to enjoy, so why make yourself so busy? Stop, take a look, imprint the beautiful scenery in your mind, take another breath of fresh air, and slowly continue on the road, worthy of the scenery. Also worthy of yourself.
Leisurely and lazy is determined by character, Li Su could have had more, but he didn't want to have too much.
The more things he has, the more people he becomes, these beautiful landscapes, beautiful people, will he stop for them or them? Hurry to the end of your life, and ask yourself before you die. What have you seen and done in this life. There is only one word to answer yourself, "busy", how sad.
The charcoal in the charcoal basin burned red, and from time to time it crackled and exploded one or two small sparks, and Li Su sat by the brazier surrounded by a fox fur. It didn't take long for a yawn.
After enjoying the snow scene, mainly because the people in the courtyard had swept away the snow, Li Su found that there was no scenery to see, and then he felt a little bored.
He took out a small bronze mirror from his bosom. Li Su continued to admire.
Life is like this, after seeing a landscape, there is always another scenery waiting for you, there is really no scenery to see, and it is also a very pleasing thing to take out the mirror to appreciate yourself.
Li Su stared at himself in the mirror obsessively, from his eyebrows and eyes, to his lips and nose, and then changed to the right side of his face after reading the left side of his face, looking for his most handsome angle and ugliest angle, or approaching the mirror and squeezing one or two blackheads fiercely to make his face flawless......
Simply look in the mirror, there are so many things to do, where does Li Su have time to think about national affairs?
There was a quiet footstep behind him, and he only smelled the faint fragrance and knew that it was Xu Mingzhu.
"The husband doesn't have to do it today, do you want the concubine to get you some wine and food, and the husband can enjoy the snow...... Well, composing poetry? ”
Li Su rolled his eyes: "Drinking early in the morning, I don't think I'm dying happy enough, right?" He also wrote poetry...... Who says you have to write poetry to enjoy snow? Wouldn't the illiterate see the snow and die? ”
Xu Mingzhu chuckled behind him: "The husband is different, you are a famous talent in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City to the entire Guanzhong, you are famous in the hearts of the scholars, I heard Steward Xue say, now the scholars in Chang'an are complaining, why haven't you seen your husband's new work for a long time, many people are suffocating it......"
Li Su snorted: "If you don't give money, you want to hear me compose poems?" Dream! ”
Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then slapped him angrily: "The husband speaks very nonsense, composing poetry is innocent knowledge, and I don't know how many scholars in Chang'an City respect the husband, but only the husband practices his own knowledge!" ”
Li Su sighed: "Madam, to tell the truth, our Li family was so poor at the beginning, and it was because I sold poetry that we made a fortune, where is this knowledge innocent?" ”
Xu Mingzhu glanced at him hatefully and said, "It's the husband who is not innocent!" Learning is innocent. ”
Pointing to the white snow outside, Xu Mingzhu said angrily: "The concubine doesn't care, since the husband appreciates the snow, he must make a good poem to appreciate the snow......"
Li Su subconsciously blurted out: "How much ...... do you give for a poem?"
Before he finished speaking, he felt that Xu Mingzhu's apricot eyes were wide open, and Li Su changed his words very knowingly: "...... Okay, I'm in a good mood today, I'll make a song for you for free, but the ugly words come first, because it's free, so the quality is inevitably a little ...... What's that. ”
Xu Mingzhu snorted and said, "If the husband comes, the concubine will know whether it is good or bad." ”
"Listen well...... Li Su looked at the sparsely swept snow scene in the courtyard outside, thought for a while, and said: "The river is general, and the well is a black hole." The yellow dog is white, and the white dog is swollen ......"
After the poem was written, he didn't hear the thunderous applause in his imagination, Li Su felt a little embarrassed, and simply cheered himself: "Talent is world-famous!" Good poetry! ”
Xu Mingzhu also read some books before getting married, her mother's family once invited the master to teach, somewhat learned, Li Su's poem was finished, Xu Mingzhu suddenly felt dizzy, silent for a long time, and hesitated: "This poem ...... This poem ......"
"Not really, right?" Li Su squinted at her.
Xu Mingzhu didn't nod or shake his head, obviously to take care of his face.
Li Su said leisurely: "I just said, free things, that's it......"
