As we all know, the Song Dynasty was the heyday of words. However, the word was not invented by the Song people, as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the word had its embryonic form.

In the Sui and Tang dynasties, culture flourished, literati emerged, and there were signs of the rise of words.

It's just that most Tang Dynasty poets, especially those in high positions, can't look down on words. Most of the words are the works of love and lovesickness, and they cannot be elegant, so the words are also called "poetry" in the Tang Dynasty.

Only those poets who have a bumpy career, can go deep into the people, and pay attention to the charm of poetry rather than political image, are willing to fill in the lyrics.

For example, Li Bai's "Remembering Qin'e • Xiao Shengyu", Bai Juyi's "Wangjiangnan" and Wen Tingyun's "Bodhisattva Barbarian, Xiaoshan Overlapping Jin Ming Annihilation", etc., are also ancient terms, not inferior to the Song people.

As the Tang people commented, for love and lovesickness, the words are really full of rhyme.

And Nalan Rongruo's true feelings, the charming and delicate words given, mournful and compassionate, make people sad and happy and do not know the master, such as listening to the middle night Fanbai!

His Majesty Li Er lowered his eyelids, and his face became sad; Xu Hui sighed almost inaudibly, and also showed a sad color.

For a long time, His Majesty Li Er completely lay in the rocking chair, covered his face with his sleeves, and muttered to himself: "Relying on Danqing's heavy knowledge, I can't paint a sad heart." Alas...... I can't draw it!"

Xu Hui heard that His Majesty Li Er's words were choked, sympathized with the grief in his heart, waved his hand gently, and signaled the younger brother to retire in time.

Xu Qilin hurriedly got up, bowed deeply, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the grass people are retiring." ”

His Majesty Li Er didn't answer, but just waved his hand and motioned for Xu Qilin to retreat.

Walking out of the apse, Xu Qilin also heard his sister's soft whisper, as if he was comforting, could it be that His Majesty Li Er was crying?

……………

When he returned home, Xu Qilin threw off his arms and did a great job.

I wasn't in a hurry before, and I was delayed a lot of time by doing what kind of distiller and what kind of fragrance dew. Now that I have set the time with His Majesty Li Er and my sister, if you don't keep your word, you will leave a bad impression.

In fact, the model that Xu Qilin wants to make is already seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, with only some details left, and some accessories. Set a deadline of five or six days, which is enough to complete.

In addition to his own hard work, Xu Qilin also told Sun Asi and his wife to step up the carving of small wooden figures, and they must complete the specified number within four days.

Xu Qilin was doing a good job in the workshop, and someone outside reported that someone from the palace had sent a reward for filling the mother.

Reward? Or in the name of the old lady?

Xu Qilin pondered for a while, and then figured it out. This is His Majesty Li Er's reward in the name of his sister, and it is estimated that it has something to do with his crying poverty.

Of course, the dedication of the telescope, and perhaps the rocking chair, as well as the half-mourning speech, also have something to do with it.

Rushing to the main hall, Xu Qilin saw the waiting palace people. Although he is a eunuch and has a sharp voice, he does not have the style and posture of shaking the handle and spreading the will in movies and dramas, but he looks quite humble.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, because of the strength of His Majesty Li Er, there were no arrogant eunuchs in the palace. Moreover, because His Majesty Li Er is so strong that he will not be swayed by any woman, the harem is also calm and peaceful...

No red tape, no need to be respectful, say a few words, put down the reward and go. Xu Qilin is very satisfied with this, how good it is to be so neat, what is the order to announce, it is troublesome.

100 silk horses, 100 money (through). Xu Qilin doesn't need to count, the rewards are all with a list!

During the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that "the value of silk and the value of money should be equally important", and it was regarded as a kind of legal tender.

At the same time, it was strictly forbidden to use both money and silk, and it was forbidden to accept only coins in large-scale transactions, and there was a tendency to use cloth and silk as a unit of conversion for various commodities.

The price of silk fluctuates with the market, and it also rises and falls, and it fluctuates between 400 and 500 yuan when Zhenguan.

If you do the math in this way, the total value of the reward is about one hundred and forty or fifty yuan. It's not too much, it's not too much, it's still more suitable for Xu Qilin's identity.

Gifts, oh, are rewards, and they also vary from person to person, and ancient and later generations are similar in thinking.

Although Xu Qilin really hadn't seen so much money, he was not ecstatic and was so excited that he was swaying.

The fragrance has been made, and the price is set, the small bottle sells for 10 pieces, and the medium bottle sells for 20 pieces, which is still the wholesale price.

In other words, if you sell a dozen or twenty bottles, the money you make will catch up with this reward, and Xu Qilin will of course be calm and calm.

Even, Xu Qilin was a little stingy with His Majesty Li Er. In his speculation, this reward was not given for free, and it was necessary to build another exquisite and advanced telescope to present it, so as to meet the mind of His Majesty Li Er.

Fortunately, although crystal was precious in ancient times, it was still much inferior to the recommendation of jade and other gemstones. Moreover, the crystal used to make a telescope does not need to be very large, like the kind that can be carved into rings and cups.

After estimating the price, including materials and processing fees, Xu Qilin felt that one hundred guan was more than enough, and there were only forty or fifty guan left for this reward.

Forget it, this is all an investment, not to mention that it is invested in His Majesty Li Er, others are in a hurry to deliver things, and they have to find a way; Do everything possible to find a way, His Majesty Li Er may not be able to look down on it!

Xu Qilin instructed his subordinates to move their belongings to the warehouse, and then went back to the studio to do a great job.

……………

When night fell, there was a curfew outside the square, and there were no pedestrians; The square is still lively, with shops open and residents walking around.

Despite the curfew, it did not have much impact on the nightlife of the Tang Dynasty. There are all kinds of restaurants and shops in the square, so you can stumble around casually.

Moreover, the house of the powerful also prevailed in the night banquet, often all night long, and there are poems to describe its liveliness as "the main family is full of joy and joy, and the talented man can sing the night is not young".

Xu Qilin was sitting in the private room reserved for him in the drunken night building at this time, and had just finished discussing the consignment of fragrant dew with Boss Xu, and his heart was comfortable, drinking sweet Mimi's wine, eating dishes, and casually looking at the pedestrians walking outside from upstairs.

The intense work came to an end, and Xu Qilin also wanted to relax. Without the hustle and bustle of the busy traffic and the impetuousness of the fast-paced life, you can appreciate the antique charm with a calm mind, even listening to the local slang, and feeling as pleasant as nature.

Hey, Xu Qilin suddenly slowed down, and his face became serious.

There was a burst of music wafting from downstairs, some familiar instruments. Xu Qilin listened for a while, walked out of the room, and walked downstairs.

In the hall on the first floor of the restaurant, two kabuki are performing and singing.

One is only eleven or twelve years old, and has not yet grown; The other should be older, but he is wearing a gauze hat on his head, and he can't see clearly.

Xu Qilin casually found a table and sat down, and the guy immediately came up to wait, he waved his hand, signaling the guy to leave him alone.
