Chapter 60: See Prince Li Chengqian Again
In a blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival, after the Lantern Festival, this year is over, although there are no fireworks to be put off in this era, but it does not prevent the lanterns and the moon.
Moreover, the Lantern Festival is a traditional festival of the Chinese nation, which is said to have been established during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The Lantern Festival is also known as the Shangyuan Festival in ancient times, the small first month, the Tianguan Festival, the Yuan Xi or the Lantern Festival.
Today, there is a lot of people on Chang'an Avenue, the imperial court does not have a curfew all night, and the city gates are wide open.
Despite this, the scene of Li Zhonghua shopping with more than a dozen women is still eye-catching, and it is impossible to keep a low profile.
The streets are full of lanterns, and there are slips of paper pasted on them, on which are written a lantern riddle, as long as you guess the lantern riddle, you can take the lantern.
Although the lantern riddle is not so easy to guess, because there are too many onlookers, there are still people who guess the lantern riddle from time to time and take the lantern in a burst of excitement.
A group of women are all people who have read books, and the game of guessing lantern riddles is not very difficult for them at all.
Soon, more than a dozen women had one more lantern in their hands, leaving Li Zhonghua alone, and he didn't get anything empty-handed.
It's not that Li Zhonghua is so high, but he is really not very good at these.
Every lantern riddle is basically an ancient poem, although many people in Chang'an City are saying that Li Zhonghua is a great talent, but only Li Zhonghua knows in his heart how much ink is in his stomach?
The so-called classic poems are nothing more than he plagiarized the works of the ancients, and every poem that can be passed down for thousands of years is naturally a classic.
These riddles have not been passed down through the ages, and the riddles of each era have their own characteristics, which are not the same at all, not to mention that Li Zhonghua has not recorded many riddles in his mind.
As for ancient poetry, one reason is, of course, that Li Zhonghua likes it, but in fact, there is another most important reason, because he once signed up for CCTV's Chinese Poetry Conference.
In order not to lose too ugly, Li Zhonghua has worked hard and memorized many classic Tang and Song poems.
In this era of the Tang Dynasty, what poet immortal Li Bai, poet saint Du Fu, Bai Juyi and others have not yet been born! If anyone dares to compare with him to write poems and lyrics, then the other party will definitely die an ugly death.
As for guessing these riddles now, although there are a few riddles, I guessed it myself, but because I am not sure that it is right, I can only pretend to be high.
At this time, I suddenly found that there were many people in front of me, and there were many people who were popular, and many people liked to drill there, which has been a common problem for people since ancient times.
Several women were no exception, they were all full of curiosity about the front, clamoring to go faster and go over to see what was going on over there.
Li Zhonghua's temper has always been good, more than a dozen women, except for Xu Xiaolan, who is older, everyone else has reached the age of eighteen, and in the next life, she is still a minor Lori, a student girl who has just graduated from junior high school.
No matter how precocious and active a woman in this era is, her lively and active heart has not completely disappeared.
Walking into the crowd, I was also guessing the lantern riddle.
It's just that the reward for this lantern riddle is too great, no wonder it attracts so many people to watch the excitement.
Among the onlookers, there are many scholars, as well as a lot of second generations of officials, second generations of power, and second generations of riches, and the most surprising thing for Li Zhonghua is that there is actually a second generation of the emperor inside, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian.
Speaking of which, Li Zhonghua has not seen the crown prince Li Chengqian for a long time, and he didn't expect to meet him today.
"Li Tai, do you have to get along with me today?" The crown prince Li Chengqian did not notice Li Zhonghua's arrival.
Li Zhonghua saw that the person who opposed the crown prince Li Chengqian was a big fat man with at least more than 200 pounds, and he heard the prince Li Chengqian call him Li Tai just now, and thought, could this be Li Tai, the king of Wei?
Sure enough, I only heard the fat man say: "Hey, my brother, what do you mean I have to get along with you, my fair lady, good gentleman, you are your brother, can't you take a step back?" ”
"This is obviously Ben Tai...... It's a pair of Silla maids that I fancy first, why should I give it to you. Prince Li Chengqian said angrily.
"What do you mean by fancy it first, do you see it, but people have said, whoever can guess the lantern riddle first, who can get this pair of Silla maids, have you already guessed it?" Li Tai said sarcastically.
"If you don't bring someone over to make trouble, I would have guessed it a long time ago." Prince Li Chengqian said angrily.
Looking at the dress of the two and the tone of their voices, they obviously didn't want to reveal their identities.
It turned out that it was a slave trader in Dongshi, with a pair of very young and beautiful Silla maids, who came here to lay a lantern riddle, who can guess this lantern riddle? You can get this pair of Silla maids for free.
This pair of Silla maids is not only very beautiful, but also a pair of twins.
However, this lantern riddle is certainly not so easy to guess, and there is a reason why the prizes are so rich.
Since ancient times, there have been no merchants and no traitors, and this slave trader will not be a kind person.
Those who participate in the lantern riddle guessing activity must first pay 100 yuan, guess the lantern riddle, not only can they take people away, but the 100 yuan will also be returned in silver.
If you don't guess it, then of course you're sorry, not only will you not be able to get it away, but you won't be refunded this 100 yuan money.
The Silla maid is very famous, and in Chang'an City, if there is a Silla maid in the family of a rich man, it will be very face-saving.
It is said that all the Silla maids are delicate and charming, not only beautiful, but also very docile, will wait for people, do whatever she is told to do, and will not be half dissatisfied with any beating or scolding.
The market price of Silla maids is as high as several thousand, especially beautiful, and even as high as tens of thousands, and they are often not necessarily bought if they have money, and the shortage is very serious.
This pair of Silla maids, a single one, is at least tens of thousands of yuan, let alone a couple, and they are twins, and the value will definitely not be less than 30,000 yuan.
If it is sold directly at a price, as long as the prince Li Chengqian wants it, there is no problem with 30,000 guan at all, but the other party just does not sell it directly, but makes a lantern riddle to guess.
The crown prince Li Chengqian, with a group of staff, had already smashed tens of thousands of dollars, but he was stunned that he had not guessed a correct answer.
At this time, Li Tai, the king of Wei, also joined in with a group of people, which made the crown prince Li Chengqian very nervous.
Although Li Tai, the king of Wei, is a big fat man, he is very smart, and he will also attract talents, and there is no shortage of people who are really talented and learned, and the prince Li Chengqian is worried that he will be guessed by his people first, so he doesn't want him and his people to participate.
If you haven't smashed more than 10,000 yuan, then that's it, a pair of twin Silla maids, although it is rare, but it is nothing, as long as you successfully ascend the throne and become the emperor, are you afraid that there will be no beauty?
Not to mention that it is just a pair of twin Silla maids, if you really want to, you can destroy the Silla Kingdom.
