Chapter 284: Smoke Lock Pond Willow

The silk unfolded in the air, and the two guys on the first floor hurriedly walked over and grabbed the bottom. Then they straightened the satin.

Everyone looked carefully and found that there were five big characters written on the white satin:

"Smoke lock pond willow."

Is this the eternal absolute? Xu Xuan laughed secretly in his heart, Cui Daoshu is too good at bragging, right? This couplet should not be too simple! Even the children who have been educated can easily come up with it.

The reaction of the others was similar to that of Seo Hyun, and they all confidently began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.

Han Xizai frowned and said to Li Yu: "Your Majesty, this couplet is not simple!" It's a bit difficult. ”

Li Yu nodded: "Han Shangshu is right, the side of each of the five words implies five elements, isn't it very good!" ”

Xu Xuan next to him suddenly realized that what he thought was too simple, and the side of these five words was 'metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.' 'Implying the five elements, it's really troublesome!

Soon, the conversation between Li Yu and Han Xizai spread, and the people upstairs and downstairs understood the difficulty of this couplet.

The well-educated people, led by Li Yu, Han Xizai, and Xu Xuan, all began to meditate.

Some businessmen were at a loss, looking at the couplet in a daze.

Qi Jiuniang slipped out quietly, walked to Cui Daoshu's side, and whispered, "Childe, you are really bad!" I took out this couplet that no one could match. ”

Cui Daoshu also whispered: "Isn't this good? I estimate that this couplet will soon spread, and our Quanjude will become famous. ”

"Childe, is this couplet really come up with by Nalan Rongruo?"

Cui Daoshu nodded, and smiled secretly in his heart, no matter what good things are, it is always right to push it on Nalan Rongruo. Anyway, there is no proof of death!

After a while, some people came up with it one after another, so they took a pen and wrote it down, and then handed it to Xu Xuan and asked him to pass it on to Li Yu.

Xu Xuan looked at a few pieces of paper, shook his head, and tore the paper to shreds.

Zhu Mian next to him asked, "Xu Shilang, why did you tear it up?" ”

Xu Xuan said in a low voice: "These things are pure bullshit, don't let Your Majesty see it, otherwise he will be angry." ”

Li Yu and Han Xizai looked at each other and smiled when they saw Xu Xuan's actions.

Han Xizai stroked his beard and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is old, and his talent and thinking cannot be compared with when he was young. I really can't think of it. ”

Li Yu nodded and said, "Han Shangshu, the widow is only twenty-six years old this year, and he can't think of it!" Although the number of words in this couplet is small, the artistic conception is not bad, and it also implies five elements, which is indeed not easy! ”

Emperor Zhou E suggested: "Your Majesty, it is better to call Cui Gongzi and ask which talented man came up with this couplet." ”

Li Yu agreed, and beckoned to Cui Daoshu, who was not far from him.

Cui Daoshu hurriedly walked over, and Li Yu asked eagerly: "Who made this couplet?" ”

Cui Daoshu bowed and replied, "It was made by Mr. Nalan Rongruo." ”

Li Yu suddenly realized: "Sure enough, it's this great talent!" Cui Gongzi, do you know this link? ”

Cui Daoshu replied: "Your Majesty, Mr. Nalan Rongruo accidentally made an uplink, but before he could think about it, he fell seriously ill and passed away. So there is no lower link left. ”

Han Xizai said with a smile: "Cui Gongzi, you are not authentic!" Take out such an absolute to embarrass everyone. ”

Cui Daoshu said respectfully: "Han Shangshu, our brothers have also thought about it for several years, but no one can say it. We think that the literary style in Jiangnan is flourishing, and there are many well-educated people. Especially in our Tang Kingdom, we have gathered top scholars and scholars from all over the world. If no one in the Tang Kingdom can match it, then there will definitely be no one in the whole world. ”

Cui Daoshu's sycophants made Li Yu very useful, and his fighting spirit ignited in his heart.

Li Yu said to Xu Xuan: "Xu Qing, you send someone to quickly spread this couplet, so that the whole Tang Kingdom knows about it." If anyone can come up, the widow will reward him with a hundred gold, and he will be edicted as a bachelor of Hanlin! ”

Then he smiled and said to Cui Daoshu: "Cui Gongzi, should you thank the widow?" In a few days, the people of the entire Tang Kingdom will know about Quanjude. You're going to make a lot of money. ”

Cui Daoshu Shili said: "This is all thanks to His Majesty and the queen's mother, our Quanjude is just to make a little money, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

At this time, Xu Xuan walked over with a few pieces of paper, "Your Majesty, you can still take a look at these ones, but they are not very good." ”

Li Yu took it and saw several pieces of paper that were written:

"Candle Engraved River Dam Pine"

"Yantao Terrier Hook"

"Beacon Lake Embankment"

"Maple Baking Jinlang Embankment"

Li Yu pondered for a while, shook his head, and handed a few pieces of paper to Han Xizai.

"Han Shangshu, no! The artistic conception is too far away. ”

Han Xizai looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "It's really not good, it seems that no one can match it today." ”

Li Yu was a little excited, he stood up and said, "Queen, let's go back, today's interest is over." ”

Zhou Ehuang stood up, smiled at Qi Jiuniang, and went downstairs with Li Yu.

Everyone sent Li Yu and Emperor Zhou E out of Quanjude, and Zan Xin hurriedly sent someone to the carriage.

Li Yu and Emperor Zhou E boarded the car separately and went to the direction of the palace under the protection of a group of palace guards.

Han Xizai also said goodbye to everyone, saying that he was old and frail, and his spirit was not good, and he wanted to go back to rest.

After Han Xizai left, Xu Xuan and other civil officials also resigned one after another, and they all went to contact their colleagues, preparing to kill the Pucheng Zhang family.

There were only more than 30 people left in the hall, and they were all wealthy merchants in Jinling City, and they were all members of the Ya Nei.

Everyone was clamoring for Cao Deshun to reopen the table, but the emperor was present just now, and everyone didn't drink enough.

Cao Deshun had no choice but to order the kitchen to cook a few more tables of dishes to entertain these rich idlers.

Cui Daoshu saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he took Qi Jiuniang to Quanjude's backyard. He came to the door of a room and knocked lightly on the wooden door five times.

The door opened, and Pang Xu walked out of it.

Cui Daoshu said: "Let's go back to Qingliang Temple." ”

Pang Xu nodded and beckoned the guards in the house to come out.

Soon a dozen guards in civilian clothes came out, and two men went to catch a carriage over.

Cui Daoshu helped Qi Jiuniang into the car first, and then got into the carriage himself.

Pang Xu opened the back door of Quanjude, went out vigilantly to take a look, and when he saw that there was no situation outside, he turned around and nodded.

The guards escorted the carriage out of the back door and headed for the west gate of Jinling City.

After about two hours, Cui Daoshu returned to Qingliang Temple.

He and Qi Jiuniang got out of the carriage and walked towards Na Zhe's room.

When they entered the house, they saw that Na Zhe was reclining on a low couch, eating something comfortably. Qin Wanlan sat next to her and sent chopped fruit to Na Zhe's mouth with a spoon.

"Old Seven, you're back! Today can suffocate Lao Tzu. There were two groups of Langzhong in succession, one was found by Xu Xuan, and the other was the imperial doctor sent by Li Yu.

Lao Tzu had to pretend to be seriously injured and let them toss hard. I was poured into several bowls of bitter medicine by them, but I was depressed to death! ”

Qin Wanlan covered her mouth and smiled as she covered her mouth beside her, almost knocking over the bowl containing the fruit.

Qi Jiuniang walked over and began to talk about the opening of Quanjude today, laughing like silver bells from time to time.

Cui Daoshu felt a little tired, so he sat down and drank tea slowly.

Na Zhe listened to Qi Jiuniang's narration, and let out a sigh of admiration from time to time.

After more than half an hour, Qi Jiuniang finished the whole process.

Na Zhe sighed with emotion: "Old Seven, I missed such a fun thing, it's a pity!" ”

Cui Daoshu said with a smile: "Third brother, you have to continue to pretend, Han Xizai will come tomorrow, and he will definitely come to visit you." This is an old fox in its true form, and we need to be careful about it. ”

Na Zhe nodded: "I'll deal with it carefully, but you have to negotiate with them, I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with it alone." ”

Cui Daoshu said confidently: "This is all a piece of cake, Han Xizai is just a literati, and I am not afraid of anyone when it comes to business negotiations." No matter how many people they come, they are all in front of me, and they can't please me. You definitely don't have to worry. ”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qi Jiuniang immediately jumped up and went to open the door in a hurry.

The sloppy monk Taiqin walked into the room with a blank face, walked straight to Na Zhe's side, and stretched out his hand to check his pulse.

Na Zhe laughed and teased him: "I said sloppy monk, how much wine did you drink today?" Are you drunk driving, can you take the pulse? ”

Taiqin was unmoved, ignoring Na Zhe's verbal harassment, closing his eyes and taking the pulse seriously.

After a while, he opened his eyes, stared at Na Zhe and said:

"Then donor, how long are you going to pretend? Your pulse is stable now, and your injuries are healed, so you don't need to pretend anymore, right? ”

Na Zhe smiled and said: "Monk, you don't understand, Lao Tzu has to continue to pretend." Otherwise, how can a huge sum of money be extorted? ”

Tai Chin shook his head and said, "Money is something outside of the body, is it really that important?" ”

Na Zhe said: "Monk, you don't understand at all. We now have to feed nearly 10,000 people, and the economic pressure is enormous. This is definitely a good opportunity, if we can get a huge amount of money from the Pucheng Zhang clan, we will relieve a lot of pressure, and we can also save more displaced people and orphans. ”

Tai Chin clasped his hands together: "That gentleman has good thoughts in his heart, and he is a person with great compassion and great wisdom, so it is better to take refuge in my Buddha." After you have gone through penance, you can definitely become a generation of high monks. ”

Na Zhe shrank his neck, "Monk, you don't have to deceive Lao Tzu. I haven't married a wife and had children, and I will never become a monk, so you will die of this heart. ”

Taiqin shook his head and left, Cui Daoshu also got up and said, "Third brother, I went back to sleep, I haven't slept much in the past few days." ”

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Third brother, your injuries have not healed, but you should pay attention to your body." Never do strenuous exercise. ”
