Chapter Twenty-Seven: Xinyang, Pingyang......
"Thank you brother Tai for your concern, my sister and I went to the pavilion over there to go to the rain. What's the matter, Brother Tai has already met His Majesty? Dou Yan smiled at Chen Xu.
"Yes, my brother has already gone to meet my mother and Your Majesty, by the way, Your Majesty and my mother have also mentioned you, saying that the mirror you dedicated to the Queen Mother a few days ago made the Queen Mother very happy, and praised you several times in front of Your Majesty and my mother."
"Brother, that's called a magnifying glass, not a mirror." Chen Ajiao immediately corrected Chen Xu's mistake, and the choked Chen Xu rolled her eyes wildly. And at this time, Dou Zhi grabbed Chen Ajiao, and vividly showed the scene of a thunder slashing in front of her, and heard Chen Ajiao's big-eyed Lori couldn't close her mouth for a long time, and she was surprised again and again.
Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Yes...... Since the beginning of spring, I don't know how many lives have been lost by thunder this day, and more than a dozen people have died in Luoyang a few days ago. ”
Dou Yan couldn't help frowning, in the era when communications were so developed in later generations, he rarely heard of someone letting the thunder be scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, of course, he was an exception, after all, how many households in the countryside could have lightning rods, lightning arresters, remote lightning nets or something, huh? Lightning rod?! Dou Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up. "yes, lightning rod, why didn't I think of this thing in the first place."
"Lightning rod? What is the virtuous brother referring to, could it be a treasure that can avoid the misfortune of heaven and thunder? Chen Xu's eyes suddenly shone with golden light, like a beggar seeing two catties of flesh and bones, and his eyes were so greedy that they were outrageous. Looking at the posture, this thing is standing proudly on the top of the mountain under the pouring rain with an embroidery needle in Yiyin, and shouts at the very low cloud top: "Come on, come and split me, if you have the ability, come and split me......"
"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother? ......" Chen Xu watched Dou Yan stupidly at himself, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, it seems that there are still sequelae after being hit by the thunder.
"Brother, my younger brother heard, this lightning rod is not a treasure, but just a kind of mechanism that can be used on various buildings, so that my Han's private house and palace are no longer affected by the thunder of that day." Dou Yan carefully considered the words and sentences.
"Brother Xian, you're not bluffing me, are you? How can there be such a strange thing in the world? "Chen Xu has the same expression and eyes that you treat my brother and me as two hundred and five.
"I said brother, what kind of person is the little brother, don't you know? That kind of nonsense is not done by a gentleman, and the younger brother naturally disdains to do it. Dou Yan couldn't help but snort with his nose to increase the persuasiveness, of course, the greater persuasiveness came from Dou Zhi beside him, the little Lori who likes to sell melons.
"What my brother said is definitely not wrong, just now my brother said that we will definitely not be struck by thunder, and sure enough, the thunder only raged around that day, and it didn't hurt us at all." Dou Zhi's words made Chen Xu's eyes look at Dou Zhi with a little more awe. "Brother Xian, what your sister said is true?"
"Brother Tai, please, let's come out now to visit the garden, okay, don't keep pulling me to stand on the road and ask this kind of question, okay?" Dou Yan reached out and touched his belly, he didn't have time to eat lunch today, so he let Chen Xu drag this product out to step on the spring, this time he was still pulling himself crookedly, could it be that this guy was jealous that he was more handsome than him, and wanted to starve himself to the point of insincerity to show off his demeanor?
"Hehe, it's for my brother's carelessness, go, take you to a good place for my brother, Brother Xian doesn't know, Cao Shou and the others have already arrived, and now they are holding a banquet over there to enjoy the scenery. It would be rude for me not to say hello. Chen Xu saw Dou Yan's movements, snorted, looked at Dou Yan's hand and left, and seemed to understand why his virtuous brother was depressed.
"Isn't it?" Dou Yan couldn't help grinning. "The Son of Heaven is here, and the Prince of Pingyang is still feasting here?"
"Why not, the children of the princes come here to visit the garden, often come to the same time, if you don't even prepare some food, hungry and chanting and fighting, won't you lose your dignity?" Chen Xu smiled and led the way first.
And Dou Yan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the place where the Son of Heaven was, but saw the girl just now leading the beautiful shadow of the dark-skinned little Zhengtai and going straight to that place if no one was there, Dou Yan couldn't help but be stunned, but he was relieved when he thought that a noble son like the Chen Xu brothers and sisters also went to meet the Son of Heaven.
--------------------
Walking along the lakeside, on the other side of the lake, there are many people in the pavilion that emerges between the mountains and forests. However, it may be the reason why there is the Son of Heaven in the distance, so the sons and daughters of the nobles in the pavilion are a little restrained in drinking and laughing, after all, no one wants to get drunk and go crazy here, in case the Son of Heaven sees it naked or something, who knows if the Son of Heaven will find a way to make this old man become a flat-headed common man.
Well, as the proprietor, Cao Shou is worthy of being the marquis of the Han Dynasty, and he has a lot of money at home, anyway, today is this treat, big fish and meat, fine wine and wine, and even the music girl and the waiting people have pulled a large number of votes, and has already arranged a tent, wind screen, and many decorations that Dou Yan can't name, and decorate this empty pavilion like a prosperous hall.
At least Dou Yan didn't think that he would arrange it like this in order to entertain guests outside, after all, it was a wild trip, so he should sit on the ground, set up a barbecue grill, put a box of beer, and call friends to be happy, which is like now, it is arranged like a state guest dinner.
In addition to Cao Shou and Xiao Jia, the two people who were more impressed, there were also a lot of participants in the banquet today, at least Dou Yan saw another acquaintance, Qu Zhou Hou Shizi Li Gao, this gentleman who had a holiday with Dou Yan was bragging and farting with his companions at the moment, pointing to the ring on his waist, and spitting that he had spent a lot of money two days ago and bought a few treasures, well, he was showing off his wealth.
Cao Shou is still quite enthusiastic, it seems that this guy really belongs to the kind of elegant person who only talks about feelings and does not talk about money, but think about it, in the eyes of noble children like them, who are not short of money to spend, money is just a number.
And Xiao Jia is also very enthusiastic, and even his enthusiasm exceeds that of Cao Shou, the first time he saw Dou Yanqi, those affectionate eyes never left Dou Yan, staring at Dou Yan uncomfortable, with a creepy feeling.
"I said brother, why does that Marquis of Wuling keep staring at me? The look in his eyes is really unsettling. Dou Yan whispered to Chen Xu, who was sitting beside him.
Chen Xu snickered: "Who let you be superior in poetry, Brother Boyu (Xiao Jia's character), nothing else, but for the preference for poetry, everyone in Chang'an knows." After the feast, Brother Boyu is highly respected by Brother Xian's song "Rolling River", and now he met Brother Xian, presumably Brother Boyu and Brother Xian made a lot of friends......"
Dou Yan was dealing with the wine and food on the case with Chen Xu, and he was talking nonsense without a match, and Dou Zhi and Chen Ajiao, who were sitting on the side, were already crowded together with many female surnames who came to the spring at the moment, accompanied by the crisp discussion of those girls, Dou Zhi proudly introduced her brother's latest invention to the women present: cards.
The food is accompanied by fine wine, and the beautiful scenery is accompanied by wine and food, so enjoying the scenery is also a beautiful thing, and the beautiful girls over there are smiling and smiling, which is indeed very pleasing to the eye.
But at this time, Dou Yan saw the direction of the pavilion near the lake, and the group was walking towards this side, and the one who started was the girl named Xinyang.
"Huh...... She's here too?! Chen Xu stood up in surprise.
"Brother Tai, do you know this woman?" Dou Yan turned his face to Chen Xu and asked.
"Naturally, I know that this is the eldest daughter of the Son of Heaven's favorite concubine Wang Meiren, Princess Xinyang." Chen Xu turned his head, picked up the wine, and took a sip of it.
"What?!" Hearing this, Dou Yan almost held back the sound of chickens, ancestors, don't play people with such foolishness.
"I said brother, I remember that Wang Meiren's eldest daughter should be Princess Pingyang, right?" Dou Yan stabbed Chen Xu with a black line on his face.
"What did you say?" Chen Xu's expression was like Dou Yan's fingers were connected with high-voltage electricity, and the originally handsome guy's face was instantly distorted. "Princess Pingyang? I said, Brother Xian, aren't you burnt up, right? ”
"Could it be a history book, uh, I mean I said I was wrong?" Dou Yan stared back at the brother whose expression was distorted as if he was in a stool.
“…… Xinyang is the title of our princess, if she marries Cao Shou's kid, don't ...... Of course this is impossible, I just said that if she marries Cao Shou's kid, then, her title will become Pingyang, not Xinyang, understand? My good brother. After rolling his eyes for a long time, Chen Xu explained to Dou Yan stupidly.
Fortunately, the two of them arrived the latest, sitting at the nearest door, far away from the others, so the conversation between the two did not arouse the attention of the others.
Or should it be said that those guys will ignore it directly, because these gentlemen have all stood up at this moment, and their eyes are looking directly at the bewitching and beautiful Princess Xinyang who has stepped up the steps surrounded by maids.
A herd of beasts! Dou Yan couldn't help but secretly despise this group of Han Dynasty hooligans, but Dou Yan, a righteous young man who also has a heart for beauty, despised other people, and his eyes were also straightforward, well, it should be said that he looked at this stunning princess with a bewitching figure, autumn waves in her eyes, and beautiful cherry lips with a connoisseur's eyes.
