Chapter 9: Poetry Race
Li Siyuan still has a lot of feelings for the girl of the Li family, maybe most of this feeling comes from his girlfriend in his previous life, but who is not nostalgic, and who will not have a good impression of familiar people and things?
Therefore, Li Siyuan thought very clearly, since he decided to live a good life in the Tang Dynasty, why not let his life be more comfortable? Since you want to live a comfortable life, it is naturally essential to choose a loving partner!
Therefore, when Li Siyuan listened to his mother's introduction of this marriage, he listened carefully on the side, and now that his mother stopped talking about it halfway, Li Siyuan couldn't help but ask anxiously: "Mother, do you know what that girl's name is?" I also heard that he also has a brother who has a half-brother and doesn't seem to have a very good character! ”
Seeing Li Siyuan's concerned eyes, Li felt funny in his heart, his son is good everywhere now, but this monkey's anxious mentality is afraid that he can't change it in this life!
Although he thought it was funny, Li still said to Li Siyuan with a serious face: "I have naturally inquired about these things clearly!" This girl of the Li family, whose name is Li Yuying, heard that she was not treated by the eldest mother in the family when she was a child, and her biological mother was a soft character, and she couldn't protect her and her brother at all, so she was sent to her sister as a companion since she was five years old. ”
Speaking of this, Li sighed and instructed Li Siyuan: "Son, this girl is also a hard-working girl, if he marries into the family in the future, you don't have to lose her, otherwise, my mother will not spare you!" ”
Li Siyuan's mother's statement made Li Siyuan very helpless, these eight characters have not been skimmed yet, is it possible for his mother to treat others as her daughter-in-law? I also said that I was anxious about monkeys, and I think the cause of my monkey urgency should have been inherited from my mother!
Although there was a little criticism in his heart, Li Siyuan still obediently promised: "Mother, you can rest assured, I didn't marry my daughter-in-law to let her serve us, I married my daughter-in-law because I hurt her, as for serving people, I will leave it to the maid!" ”
After listening to his son's words, Li nodded, and then said with satisfaction: "This is almost the same, it's still a gentleman!" ”
Li Siyuan saw that his mother seemed to have forgotten to talk about Li Yuying's brother, so he reminded him: "Mother, it's time to talk about her brother, and let's have dinner after that!" ”
Seeing that his son was urging him, Li glanced at his son angrily: "Little rabbit cub, this daughter-in-law hasn't succeeded yet, so she is idle and verbose?" What a little white-eyed wolf! After Li sarcastically ridiculed his son, he didn't give the other party a chance to defend, and then said: "Actually, Yuying's brother has nothing to say, the situation when he was a child was similar to Yuying, but when he grew up, he somehow got worse and worse, and he knew that he brought some family members every day.
In the name of his father and the crown prince, he went to do some bullying and dominating the market, and for this, I heard that his father almost kicked him out of the house! Oh yes, his name is quite elegant, his name is Li Yuyan! ”
Li Yuyan, a good name, but unfortunately although the name is good, it has never done a good thing, Li Siyuan thought so, it seems that it is better to stay away from this uncle in the future, so as not to suffer any unwarranted disasters when you get it!
After the words were finished, Li saw that the skills his son learned from the old immortal were indeed very useful, so he was happy and decided to add dinner tonight! Li Siyuan was naturally very happy when he heard his mother say that he would have dinner tonight, but unfortunately after the food came up, Li Siyuan had no appetite!
Looking at this table is either boiled or baked, and there is no seasoning, just a meal with very little salt, Li Siyuan has a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, this is really the sorrow of the common people, if you want to eat a stir-fry, you can't do it, it seems that after making money, you must first buy an iron pot and buy some seasonings, the people take food as the sky, if you don't eat good food, how can you have the strength to make money!
Although the meal was not very palatable, Li Siyuan didn't want to ruin his mother's interest, so the two of them still finished the dinner with a smile! By the time the meal was over, it was already dark, and the two of them chatted a few more words and rested separately!
On the second day, Li Siyuan got up as usual to do a morning class, and after returning home, he called his mother up again, and taught his mother Tai Chi a few times in the yard, but because his mother was too old, he couldn't learn it, and even if he learned it, his appearance was always deformed, and Li Siyuan was also very helpless about this, and he couldn't physically punish his mother like when the master taught him boxing, so he could only teach it slowly in the future!
After teaching his mother to practice boxing, the sun had just come out, and before Li Siyuan finished eating, the pig-haired brothers rushed over with two big black circles under their eyes, and Li Siyuan knew at a glance that these two people must have been busy all night as they said last night!
The two came to Li's house, and without saying a word, they pulled Li Siyuan and walked out, and said as they walked: "Brother Yuan, I told my father about the things you explained when I went home yesterday, and my father praised you a lot after listening to it!" And he also urged us to finish things quickly, the faster we do it, the more we earn, no, our brothers didn't sleep all night, and they were looking for people and materials, and finally made 150 toothbrushes after a busy night, plus those you and your aunt did that day, there are already two hundred, let's go to my house now, you see if the quality is okay, and then we will go to Chang'an early and sell these things! ”
Hearing that the two of them finally changed their words and didn't call themselves Brother Dogs, Li Siyuan was still very happy in his heart, but he looked at his belly and still rejected the two: "Two brothers, I know you are anxious, but you have to let your brother eat, otherwise I won't have the strength to work for you!" In this way, you go home and put your toothbrush up, and then find someone to borrow a donkey cart, and we will drive the donkey cart to Chang'an in a while! ”
After finishing speaking, Li Siyuan was about to break free from the clutches of the two and was about to go back to the house for breakfast, but the pig hair brothers were holding his hand and not letting go, and Erniu was still persuading on the side: "Brother Yuan, let's go to Chang'an for breakfast, when the things are sold out, our brothers invite you to eat noodles, you bear with it now, the family is ready, just wait for the three of us!" ”
In desperation, Li Siyuan had no choice but to say hello to his mother, followed the two brothers back to their house, and when he came to the door of the pig hair brothers, he had already seen a donkey cart parked at the door of his house, and two and a half large boxes were placed on it, Li Siyuan opened the box and looked at it, there were 200 toothbrushes neatly placed inside, and he took out a few from each box to check the number, and then nodded with satisfaction and covered the box!
The three of them said goodbye to Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, and drove the donkey cart to Chang'an, and when they arrived in Chang'an, the sky was completely bright, and Li Siyuan felt that his family should also get a means of transportation, not only fast, but also not tired!
After arriving in Chang'an, the three of them drove a donkey cart and delivered the toothbrush to them door to door according to the address recorded on the order, and during the delivery period, the three of them sold a lot of toothbrushes.
For this result, the three of them are still relatively satisfied, but today's work is not completed, under Li Siyuan's suggestion, they decided to finish eating for a while, they will go to various grocery stores in Dongshi, supply the toothbrushes to them for free, and after selling them, they will extract the share according to the agreement!
The three brothers came to a small restaurant on the street with a smile, and after instructing Xiao Er to get some forage for the donkey, the two brothers carried the box of copper coins into the hotel, and as for the toothbrush, Li Siyuan left them in the car indifferently!
After entering the restaurant, the three young people each ordered a few of their favorite dishes, and when they were almost finished, the conversation of a group of scholars dressed as scholars at the adjacent table aroused Li Siyuan's interest, not for anything else, because they mentioned the words Qin Wangfu, Qin Wang, and Saishi Club many times in their words!
Such words may not sound like anything to others, but they are different in Li Siyuan's ears, this genius from later generations, not only knows that the current King of Qin will become a generation of heavenly khans in the future, but is also very familiar with Tang and Song poems!
Li Siyuan, who was active, couldn't help but think of the benefits of being prominent at the Poetry Competition, he immediately got up and walked towards the table, and when he got closer, he first bowed and saluted, and then asked: "Dare to ask a few brothers, when is the Qin Wangfu Poetry Competition held?" ”
When the scholars at the table saw Li Siyuan's dress and age, they all gave him a disdainful look, and one of the scholars even said sarcastically: "Where did the poor doll come from, she wanted to participate in the poetry competition held by His Royal Highness King Qin himself before her hair grew?" Let me ask you, do you have any fame, are there any invitations, and are there any recommendations? ”
Although the other party had an arrogant attitude, Li Siyuan still shook his head in disbelief, and then turned around and left! He didn't expect that it would be so troublesome to participate in a poetry competition, and he couldn't help frowning after returning to his seat, he was not satisfied with these conditions, it seemed that he was going to miss this poetry competition!
The pig-haired brothers and Li Siyuan ate at the same table, and naturally saw the scene just now, and now they saw Li Siyuan sitting there with a sad brow, so they gave Li Siyuan an idea: "Brother Yuan, seeing that you want to participate in the poetry competition so much, why don't you just go and find that Cheng Biting Jin, I heard my father mention him, I heard that this person loves talents very much, and he also likes money very much, and so on tomorrow you might as well prepare a good poem, and then make a fairy magic weapon, and give it to General Cheng together, at that time, General Cheng will definitely recommend you to go!" ”
Listening to their suggestions, Li Siyuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, the two brothers couldn't open their heads, why didn't they think of it! Although Cheng Biting Jin is a military general, he is also Li Shimin's confidant, and with his recommendation, it is foolproof!
Thinking of this, Li Siyuan glanced at the pig-haired brothers with appreciation, and then couldn't help but think, it's been more than three months, counting the days, it's not far from the change of Xuanwumen, what kind of poetry competition will Li Shimin hold at this time, there won't be any conspiracy!
