"Bang Bang!" A round of applause rang out behind Li Xiang. Li Xiang looked back, and a man stood behind him, admiring the verses he had written.

This person is wearing a scholar's uniform, not tall, with a wide nose and square mouth, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and about twenty, and he looks upright. Applauding while reading the poem, as if you were already immersed in the poem.

Li Xiang didn't disturb him, just watched quietly. After a long time, I heard the man exhale a long breath and say, "Reading this poem can save a meal!" ”

Li Xiang asked with a smile: "Mr. Kan is also an elegant person, I don't know if I have eaten food, why don't you come over and talk about it?" Li Xiang saw this person's demeanor, like a person who often walked around in a high-ranking family, and intended to talk to him.

This person also said: "The son is not very old, but he is experienced in poetry, look at the nomination, could it be Li Mingyue, the envoy of the Henan Governor, Lord Li?" ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "Don't dare, it's just below, seeing that Mr. has an extraordinary bearing, he must also be a celebrity in Luoyang, forgive me for being clumsy, I haven't asked for advice yet!" ”

"Are you really the Bright Moon Child?" The man heard Li Xiang admit it, and said excitedly: "No wonder I can make such a poem, I finally saw it today, and I am very relieved to live a life, when I am a big white!" ”。 Then he directly asked Xiao Er to clean up the table again and have a good drink with Li Xiang. Li Xiang saw that Cheng Yanjin had already drunk, and the two guards also sat down with Cheng Yanjin and this person.

Xiao Er asked the man while wiping the table: "What do you want to eat today, Lord Dai, and the little one will be served to you immediately." ”

The man waved his hand and said: "It's still the same food, and it's good to add another plate of lamb liver, it's rare to meet the bright moon boy today, drink two cups!" ”

Xiao Er nodded and wrote it down, and when he was leaving, he suddenly asked: "The Mingyue Gongzi that Master Dai said, but the Mingyue Gongzi who can write words and know magic skills?" ”

Master Dai laughed and said, "It's not him, but there is one!" Isn't this one in front of you? You can't recite the scriptures in front of real people! ”

Li Xiang didn't know how a shopkeeper knew him, so he looked at the two of them in some surprise and said, "It's all false names, others are calling it blindly, it can't be true." ”

The shopkeeper looked Li Xiang up and down as if he had found some treasure, and finally said after a long time: "Mom, I saw a real person today!" After saying that, he turned around and ran down, making Li Xiang confused.

Lord Dai didn't look at Xiao Er, and said to Li Xiang: "It's rare that the prince of Mingyue came to Luoyang to eat wine, I invited this meal, and the next surname is Dai Mingxuan Note 1, the word Xuanyin, and now it is the Yue Wangfu to Shilang." ”

Li Xiang said with a smile: "It turns out that Brother Dai is working in the Yue Wang's Mansion, fortunately, the younger brother came to Luoyang this time to present a birthday gift to the King of Yue, and it just so happened that there was no one I knew to help introduce it." ”

"Does Mingyue still need someone to introduce him? The bicycle given by the adult last time, the prince of Yue was treated like a baby, and he kept saying that he didn't know what gift you would bring this time. Dai Xuan is also familiar with himself, so he talked to Li Xiangpan.

Li Xiang saw that this person spoke loudly, without a trace of mud and water, and felt that this person was also a frank person, so he simply let go of his heart and chatted with him.

As soon as he started talking, Li Xiang thought that Dai Xuan was just a small eight-rank official, who would have thought that after chatting, he knew that this person was talented. Whether it is etiquette or politics, or people's livelihood, he always talks about the Tao; Similarly, Dai Zhou always thought that Li Xiang only relied on poetry and whimsy to have his current status, and he didn't expect Li Xiang to have more ways to govern the country and a heart of the people.

Both of them felt that they hated each other late and cherished each other.

While they were talking, Xiao Er brought several people with all kinds of snacks and sent them up, and everyone looked at Li Xiang with a smile.

Dai Xuan looked at the things that came up and hurriedly said, "Xiao Er, I made a mistake, I made a mistake, I didn't order these, I added an extra plate of lamb liver than before." After speaking, he blushed and smiled at Li Xiangxiao: "I'm not afraid of the son's laughter, I don't have so much money to invite the son to eat well, I just ordered some homely food." ”

"It's okay!" Li Xiang hurriedly shook his hand and said: "If you can meet Brother Dai today, it is more enjoyable than eating any delicacies from the mountains and seas, so you don't have to care about these." ”

Xiao Er ignored the two of them, and still placed the fruit plates in order. Dai Xuan hurriedly said: "Hey, didn't you hear what I said?" You're mistaken, I didn't order these, why do you keep putting them up. ”

Xiao Er smiled and said, "Master Dai, we know that you didn't order it, these were all sent by our boss." After putting away all the food that was served, he said, "Later, our boss will come to visit Mingyue Gongzi in person, and the two of you will use it slowly." ”

Xiao Er went down with someone, Li Xiang looked at Dai Xuan blankly, and said after a while: "Who is the boss here?" Can Brother Dai know? ”

"I've seen it twice, but I'm not very familiar with it." Dai Xuan shook his head and said, "As soon as the son comes here, they will make a fortune in the future." ”

Li Xiang was so confused that he really didn't know what it meant, so he had to ask in a low voice: "Brother Dai, this is the second time that I have come to Luoyang, why do everyone here seem to know me." ”

"Haha, Childe, you really don't care about any of this!" Dai Xuan picked up a piece of lotus seed cake and said while eating: "In Luoyang, the reputation of the prince is known to women and children!" ”

"Huh? Why? Li Xiang not without maliciously guessed that he would not have become an idol for middle-aged and elderly women.

"Gongzi has invented so many things, many of which have been spread by the people, Quyuan plough has increased farmers' grain production, printing has made students read, and there are trolleys, tricycles, and bicycles, not to mention that Gongzi also created a joint-stock system, which one of the farmers and industrialists does not say that Gongzi is good."

After Dai Xuan finished speaking, Li Xiang was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he still had such a high status in the hearts of the people. His face turned red rarely, and he said with a smile: "Brother Dai said that he laughed, ashamed and ashamed!" ”

The two were eating snacks and talking, and after a while, the boss brought Xiao Er to serve the food again. Seeing Li Xiang, the boss bowed and said, "I didn't expect that today's Moon Tower can usher in the bright moon prince, it's really brilliant!" Please bow down to the old man! After speaking, the boss bowed to Li Xiang.

Li Xiang hurriedly stood up and saluted: "The boss doesn't have to be like this!" Li Xiang is ashamed and doesn't dare to be! ”

"Well deserved!" The boss said while serving the food himself: "The first time Gongzi came to Luoyang, he beheaded two scum generals at the gate of Taishou Mansion, but we people are angry, and now everyone has to give a thumbs up when they talk about Gongzi." ”

Seeing that both of them were standing, he hurriedly asked Li Xiang to sit down and said, "Not to mention how many craftsmen have been fed by those things invented by Gongzi, now the craftsmen in Luoyang City are proud to work under Gongzi's name." ”

Li Xiang really didn't expect that he had done something to do with his hands, and the people remembered it in their hearts, and they felt even more ashamed.

The boss didn't stop and continued: "The people who came back from Mengjin a few days ago said that in order to save the people there, Gongzi killed the warehouse guard who returned to Luocang, and transferred so much food for disaster relief, it is really happy, and the people of Mengjin are called adults and Bodhisattvas!" ”

Dai Zhou has been listening, while looking at Li Xiang, he didn't know that this child actually did so many things, when he heard Li Xiang also give disaster relief and grain, he got up and said to Li Xiang: "Childe, please accept Dai Guan's salute, Dai Zhou always thought that Gongzi was just a little smart, but I didn't expect that Gongzi had the world in mind, loved all the people, and Dai Zhou admired!" ”

Li Xiang didn't expect that a good meal would become his own commendation meeting, and he had no interest in eating for a while, so he had to return the gift to Dai Xuan again, and asked the boss to sit down and eat together, and the diners upstairs asked what was going on. When he knew that this child was the legendary Li Xiang, he rushed over.

Cheng Yanjin and the two guards drank wine in a chic manner, and saw that Li Xiang and an unknown person had gone to another table, and they were more comfortable, and the three of them were eating and bragging, and they were very happy. Unexpectedly, after only a while, Li Xiang was surrounded, and the three of them hurried to protect Li Xiang.

When he knew that it was a false alarm, Cheng Biting Jin nagged: "Hey, didn't you kill a few corrupt officials, what's the big deal, if I knew who the corrupt officials were, I could kill them!" ”

Li Xiang was really afraid that he would be open-mouthed, so he quickly told him to shut up, and then said to the people around him: "I'm Li Xiang, everyone can watch it whenever they want, but now in the restaurant, don't affect the boss's business, what's the matter, let's go outside after dinner, okay?" ”

The onlookers include the children of high-ranking officials who invite friends to eat and drink, there are also business travelers who come here to do business, and some scholars and students come here to see the style of Beijing. As soon as Li Xiang said this, a son-in-law said loudly: "Li Mingyue Gongzi, I heard that the words you wrote can be regarded as the first person in the Sui Dynasty, I don't know if it's true or not, otherwise I'll make a few songs for us on the spot!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the fox friends who came with him began to coax him, and said that he wanted him to do it immediately. Before Li Xiang could speak, another scholar in the crowd said: "How can the poems of the prince of Mingyue be made casually, and besides, people like you who do not learn and have no skills are also worthy of listening to the poems of the prince!" ”

As soon as the words fell, many students echoed what he said. That boy quit and immediately went up to fight with the scholar. Seeing that the two groups of people were about to fight, Dai Xuan said in a low voice: "Childe, that person is the grandson of Yuwen Concubine, and there is the son of Shangshu Youshilang in the back, and the son of the Ministry of Rites, you still have to be careful!" ”

Li Xiang frowned, and immediately thought of a way, seeing that the fight was about to start, Li Xiang shouted: "Everyone stop." ”

The two groups of people didn't move, and they all turned their heads to look at Li Xiang. Li Xiang said: "Since these sons want to listen to the poems below, they are not stingy in the next, but this is not suitable, after all, it is a place for people to do business." He glanced at Dai Xuan and said, "It just so happens that Dai Xuan Dai is here, please ask him to make a notarization." ”

Said to Dai Xuan and said: "I don't know if there is a big place in Luoyang, tomorrow morning I will meet friends there with poems, and then I will invite a few sons and these students to go together, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Dai Zhou was about to speak, and a student said: "There is Jingu Garden in the northeast of Luoyang, which is very large, and there are pavilions and pavilions, Yuyu Qionghua, which is suitable for meeting friends with poetry, but I am worried that these sons may not dare to go!" ”

The boy snorted and said, "Okay, Li Mingyue invited people to fight poems in Jingu Garden, we will arrive tomorrow, and we will see the real chapter when the time comes!" After that, he ignored the others and went downstairs with his friends first.

Li Xiang shook his head and smiled: "Disturbing everyone's eating and drinking today, Li Xiang has made amends, and everyone's wine money is counted in the lower body." ”

Those onlookers didn't even say no, and a few scholars came over to give Li Xiang a salute and said that they would definitely be there to cheer tomorrow, and Li Xiang thanked him. After all the disturbances, they were finally sent away.

Several people looked at each other, and they all smiled helplessly, so they had to pack up their things and go home. Dai Zhou and Li Xiang made an appointment to go to Jingu Garden together tomorrow, so they said goodbye.

In order to thank the boss for taking care of him, Li Xiang said that he would come to Wangyue Tower after Jingu Garden in the future, and he must make a separate poem for this restaurant.

Li Xiang took Cheng Yanjin and a few people back to the rice shop where he stayed slowly.

Dai Xuan Note 1: The word Xuanyin, a native of Anyang, Xiangzhou. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the ministers of the Zuo Chengmin Department were selected as the main officials of the Ministry of Officials.
