Chapter 30: The Madman Du Trials

The poem written by Li Xian was written by the great poet Bai Juyi a hundred years later when he was sixteen years old. The mere fact that this poem has been recited for thousands of years is enough to prove its powerful influence, and although the mad poem is also very good, it is difficult to compare with this poem.

What's more, this person also released wild words before, as long as Li Xian's poems are half as good as his, he will take the initiative to admit defeat, and now the other party's poems are presented in front of him, Rao is crazy face is thick enough, and he can't help but stand for a long time, his face is flushed, and he thanked each other and said: "This son, Xiaosheng is very rude, and today he has to meet a genius, and he is ashamed to speak, Xiangyang Du is willing to bow down, and is willing to fulfill his promise and grind ink for the son for three years." I don't know the name of the childe? Childe is so talented, how can the judge not even know his name? ”

"This son, Li Zhe, is a person surnamed Li in Longxi. Well, what did you just say? You say that you are Du Juyan? Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then asked in surprise.

"The cheap name is not enough to worry about, doesn't the son know?" This time, it was Du Xianyan's turn to be surprised, staring at a pair of eyes, and asked in disbelief.

"Hehe, Du Xunyan's ancestral home is Xiangyang, and then moved to Gong County, it is said that after Du Xuan, the general of Jin Zhengnan, he has been smart since he was a child, but he is arrogant, I don't know if what this son said is correct?" Li Xian smiled and glanced at the surprised Du Xianyan, and then asked.

In fact, in history, Du Xianyan is very well-known, but this is not because of his talent, although his talent is not good, and he is also a famous madman in the Tang Dynasty, but Du Xunyan is remembered by many people in later generations, which is mainly due to one of his grandsons.

This grandson who can make him follow the light and become a well-known person in history is the famous poet Du Fu in the history of the Tang Dynasty!

It is precisely because of this that Li Xian has a certain understanding of this Du Xianyan, and it is precisely because of this that he looks at this person differently, otherwise, although he is not despised for such a madness, he also disdains it.

"It turns out that the son is a descendant of the Li family in Longxi, hehe, originally Xiaosheng thought that the Li family in Longxi has been very martial over the years, and they are all vulgar people, but I didn't expect that there would be such a talented person as the son, which is really the blessing of Longxi Li." Du Xianyan sighed while saying words that he didn't know whether to flatter or belittle the Li family in Longxi, and Li Jingye and Li Zhan on the side were speechless.

"This crazy mouth is really too poisonous, and he actually commented on the Li family in Longxi. Hehe, this is not just one of the ordinary five surnames and seven sects, there is also a royal family standing behind it, where do you put the royal face in this way? ”

Although the two prime ministers' descendants are not low in status and think very highly of themselves, they do not dare to evaluate the royal family like this, they dare to comment like this when they see Du Xianyan and a cloth dress, it is really bold, if it is not for the fact that they already have some understanding of this person before, they really think that this person is deliberately slandering the royal family.

However, although Du Xianyan said that he had no intention, Li Xian did not dare to use this sentence of "praise", and hurriedly put on a straight face and said unhappily: "I dare not agree with this sentence, my Li family in Longxi has many talents, and there are countless strange people, like me, I am a talent, I bow my head, it's just that I have shallow knowledge and have not been informed, it's just that I won't discuss this matter today, Brother Du, today you and I have a fate, let's taste the pure Jiannan Burning Spring, enjoy the beautiful Hu Xuan Dance of Orchid, and live up to the joy of today." ”

"If that is the case, then it is disrespectful." Du Xianyan originally wanted to comment a few more sentences, but it can be seen that Li Xian used a drink of wine to watch the orchid to gag his mouth, and he was immediately attracted to it, and he didn't shirk it, and sat directly under Li Xian.

Du Xianyan was only convinced by Li Xian, but for Li Jingye and Li Zhan, he didn't even look at them, and sat directly on their upper seats, and then drank the wine triumphantly, and then boasted loudly and admired.

"This kind of madman, sure enough, there is no one in his eyes, and we are also the king's grandson, so rude, hum, it is not good to restrain Yu Er in front of King Zhou, and if you enter the court in the future, it will definitely make Er unhappy."

Du Xianyan naturally didn't know that after his talented actions had already offended the two prime ministers, Wu Zi was there drinking fine wine, appreciating orchids, enjoying himself, and being extremely cheerful, Li Xian, who looked at him on the side, shook his head.

"Like this kind of crazy life, it is bound to not be able to get along for a long time, otherwise it will definitely be affected, but its talent is very famous, but it can't be let go, I must make good use of it, and at the same time let this guy suffer a little, and wait until he learns to restrain his character, or even if it is a little convergence, before he can really be used by me, but this guy has not changed his temperament in his life in the original history, and now even if I think of a way to help him change, I am afraid that without ten or twenty years, it will not be able to change his temperament."

Thinking of this, Li Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, thought about it for a while, and said to Du Xianyan: "This son sees that Brother Du is talented, and it is really a bit condescending to grind ink for me, I don't think it's as good as this, I still have some wealth here, Brother Du might as well find a quiet place, read poetry and books, and participate in the imperial court selection examination, why bother to mix here and miss your youth?" This son believes that with his brother's talent, he will definitely be able to get the Jinshi, and in the future, the brother will be awarded an official and a half-post by the imperial court, and he will also be able to benefit the people. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Xian took out a small piece of gold from his sleeve, about two taels, and handed it to Du Xianyan.

"Hehe, the lesson of the son is that I believe that with a certain talent, as long as the son does not participate in the scientific examination, it is not difficult to win the first Jinshi, and then more than five years, less than three years, that is, the prime minister is also in the bag, and when he gets it, he will return ten times the borrowed assets today. In the future, he will no longer disturb Gongzi Yaxing and say goodbye. ”

Du Xianyan laughed, took the gold from Li Xian's hand, gave it up slightly, and then walked away quickly, without any mud and water.

After Du Xianyan left, Li Zhan and Li Jingye saw that Li Xian treated the madman so well, and their faces were not very good-looking, but they couldn't say anything in front of Li Xi'an, but they saw Li Xian laughing and said: "My son knows that the two of them have been wronged, but we also need to take care of our reputation as adults." Neither of them looked, what is this? Although our identity is not well known, but today we are making a big fuss in the South City, it must be famous for the government and the opposition, there are people who have a heart but need to check, you can find out our identity, if we are not compatible with this madness today, I am afraid that the reputation of my family will be affected by it, although this madness today is my property, but it does not mean that it is my like, otherwise I promised to let it stay to read and grind the ink, why did it take it away? ”

As soon as Li Xian explained this, Li Jingye and Li Zhan's faces eased slightly, and they hurriedly apologized to Li Xian, and at the same time secretly wrote down the name Du Xianyan in their hearts, and decided to wait for the big exam to make it impossible for this arrogant person to get the middle jinshi, and see how arrogant he will be in the future?

After that, the banquet continued, Li Xian was full of praise for the restaurant, especially for the new dishes, which made Li Jingye feel particularly face-saving, and at the same time secretly decided in his heart that if he had a treat in the future, he must go to this drunken fairy building. And Li Zhan was also thinking the same way at this time, and decided to invite guests to dinner in the future, and he must come here.

And Li Xian on the side is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw the expressions of the two, he had already guessed eight or nine in their minds, and he was naturally secretly happy in his heart.

Because the latest owner of this drunken immortal building is Li Xian's business group. And the one who has come up with so many new dishes is naturally Li Xian, the big proprietor of this business group!

In fact, after experiencing the past few years in Datang, Li Xian felt that there were still a lot of things missing at this time, especially some traditional things that were popular in later generations, but there were no them at this time.

For example, stir-frying, which seemed to be an extremely common way of eating in later generations, was unheard of in the Tang Dynasty, which means that there was no such thing in this period!

After that, Li Xian fully mobilized his memory of later generations to develop stir-frying, but at this time, not to mention that there was no oil, even there was no iron pot for stir-frying, fortunately, Li Xian had also learned some techniques for casting pots in his previous life, so he and the blacksmith masters of several blacksmith shops he bought bought after research, and finally cast an iron pot, and then refined the lard and mutton fat for stir-frying.

Of course, all this does not need to be done by Li Xian, his own master and young men do it according to his instructions, and after the stir-fry is done, Li Xian will give it to the guys and masters in the restaurant to taste, and the result has caused a very high praise, since then Li Xian has a bottom in his heart, and he decided to find a time to launch his stir-fried dishes, and this time Li Jingye's treat happened to be a good opportunity.

In fact, this time even Li Xian couldn't imagine that Li Ji inadvertently chose his store as the banquet venue, but this did not delay Li Xian's planning, so in a blink of an eye, he came up with a strategy to make his store famous, he was to contribute the new dishes he had just researched to stir-fry, and let Li Jingzong and Li Zhan and others promote him for free.

"Because of the recent up and down, the funds available in my hands are a little tight, and now the restaurant business is getting more and more prosperous, it should be able to make up for some of the expenses, right? Hehe, am I thinking about introducing tea culture into the Tang Dynasty court and eunuch families decades in advance? So that I can open a tea house and earn me more money. ”

On the way back, Li Xian silently thought about his next plan as he walked.
