Chapter 7 Incense couch

"Really? He made a good poem himself, and everyone praised him? ”

Hearing the news from the mouth of Yu'er, who ran back out of breath, Liu Wan'er was so surprised that she almost didn't jump up, but at this time, she didn't even have a little bit of the shy appearance when she was in Li Xi's house, and there was only a thick joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her poems were not handed to him, so she naturally ignored them subconsciously, and immediately just stared at this place and asked: "How did his poems work?" Recite it to me! ”

Yu'er was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, and she felt that she could still remember a sentence on the way over just now, but she couldn't even remember a sentence this time, so she had to stick out her tongue, "I didn't remember ......"

Liu Wan'er twisted her nose angrily, but she knew that this girl had the most headache to carry things and serve Wenmo since she was a child, so she couldn't blame her if she wanted to. Liu Wan'er pushed her and said, "You go and call the second brother over to me." ”

Yu'er was a little reluctant to go when she heard this, there were some male guests in front of her, she was the maid of the young lady in the inner house, and it was not convenient to walk around in front of those people, so she asked: "It's so urgent, don't you know that he has a good poem, why do you need to know what kind of poem it is?" Besides, it's never too late to go back and ask again! If you don't go to the garden, I won't go either, the old lady and the eldest lady can't see that we are alone, and they are going to say that we are going to go over there! ”

Liu Wan'er fiddled with a strand of hair in her hand, her face was unwilling, and she pouted ruthlessly: "Tell them to go, you just go and help me find the second brother, when the old lady said, she said that I was upset, and pulled you to grind ink for me." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pushed Yu'er to turn around, pushing forward in a straight way, looking very naughty.

Yu'er had no choice but to sneak back to Liuhuatang again, took a look, grabbed Liu Rong, pulled it out, and then dragged it to this side.

It was easy to drag Liu Rong to Liu Wan'er's embroidery building, Yu'er took her hand to catch up with the strong smell of alcohol in front of her nose, and was about to rush to the back garden, so she also went to the old lady and the eldest lady to order, but she didn't want Liu Rong to pretend to shout again, "Your master and servant are really unreasonable, since you pulled me here, why don't you even give me a bowl of tea and soup, and you are a stingy ghost!" ”

Liu Wan'er gave her a smile and a smile, and Yu'er had no choice but to turn around and give them some tea.

Seeing her leave at this time, Liu Wan'er walked over and took Liu Rong's hand, swaying around with a clever smile, so she was so close, only to hear her softly pestering Liu Rong and saying, "Good second brother, I heard that you are writing poems in front?" But what's not there? Read it to me, too, and let my sister have a long insight. ”

Liu Rong picked it up at this time, "Good poetry? How can there be any good poetry, in this land of Shuzhou, who else can risk my Liu Rong's good sister, no, no, no break! Their stinky poems are not mentioned in front of my sister, and they don't have to pollute my sister's ears, well, don't say it, don't say it! ”

Liu Wan'er grinned when she heard this, but she was coquettish, and her voice was a little sweet, "Oh, second brother, so many of you write poems together, there are always one or two poems that can be slightly heard by this lame general, right?" Let's hear about it! ”

When Liu Rong heard this, he just shook his head, and his hand kept waving, "No, no, there is no song that can enter the ear." ”

At this time, Liu Wan'er's face gradually turned red unconsciously, and she squirmed and said, "That...... Good second brother, people know that you are the smartest, you must know what I want to ask, you just, just read a song! ”

"Hmm...... I know? Liu Rong frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly patted his thigh, and said: "Yes, on this Daddy's banquet, there is a great talent named Li Fang, but he got a good song, well, when I think about it, I will read it to you......"

Liu Wan'er's face turned red when she heard this, and she couldn't help but pout, and glared at him angrily, "Second brother, you know how to trick me......"

Liu Rong laughed when he heard this.

"Well, I'll think about it again...... Yes, there is also a person named Li Xi, who also made a good poem, well, Lord Thorn Shi and our father are still praising him, I don't know if you want to hear this poem? ”

Liu Wan'er blushed and nodded timidly.

Liu Rong grabbed his chin and frowned for a moment, then rubbed his brows repeatedly with his hand, and said: "Oh, look at it, I really drank too much wine, such a good poem that makes my sister worry about her stomach, but I can't remember it......"

Hearing this, Liu Wan'er stood up, turned around with her hands behind her back in a huff, and didn't want to look at him again, but said hatefully: "Those three times are invalid!" ”

Liu Rong laughed and took her hand, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you, the second brother will read it to you......"

As soon as he spoke, he saw a person suddenly picking up a curtain outside, but it was their eldest brother Liu Lan.

Rao is face was flushed, but he still deliberately kept a straight face.

"What do you say are so happy? Read what? ”

Seeing him come in suddenly, Liu Rong seemed to have a smile on his face, and said: "Our sister is asking me about what is happening in the room on the wedding night of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. ”

Liu Wan'er smiled when she heard this, raised her hand and hit Liu Rong's arm.

Speaking of this, it's no wonder that Liu Wan'er laughs, but there is another allusion here.

When Liu Lan got married, he was seventeen years old, it was when he began to be keen to learn his old son Liu Bo's set of manners, at that time it was really more rigid than now, it is said that on the night of the candle in the cave room, after lifting the hijab, the maids and women served the bride and the bride and ate the wine and withdrew, and then naturally it was time for a couple of newlyweds to make a big gift, but everyone was surprised to find outside the room that the candles in the new room were actually lit.

Early the next morning, the mother-in-law hurriedly told the old lady about it, and the old lady found an opportunity to pull Liu Lan and ask only to know that he had been thinking about whether the woman's clothes were inconsistent with etiquette all night yesterday, so he was very entangled, and the bride saw that he was not moving, and he didn't dare to do anything, so the two of them looked at the candle for a night relatively speechlessly.

At that time, Liu Rong was fifteen years old, and he was the half-grown son of the goblin, and when the old lady quietly asked Liu Lan about it, he hid in the corner of the house and eavesdropped, so this matter was spread by him, and it was a joke in the Liu Mansion for a while.

Hearing him mention this, Liu Lan suddenly had a trace of embarrassment on her face, but she couldn't let go of the shelf and mess around with her younger brother, so she had to say helplessly: "I really can't do anything about you...... Hurry up and come with me, Daddy is calling you in front, seeing that the banquet is almost over, many people are drunk, and it is estimated that they will have to send someone to send it, I can't support it alone, Daddy asked me to call you, go quickly, you scoundrel looks like I don't know when I can restrain you! ”

Liu Rong smiled when he heard this, turned his head to look at Liu Wan'er, and suddenly smiled more and more cheerfully, and immediately promised to go out with Liu Lan, but completely ignored Liu Wan'er behind him and stomped her feet with hatred.

Liu Wan'er watched the two leave, but she couldn't pull her face to ask anything in front of her eldest brother, she just pouted and stomped her feet with hatred, but at this time, she suddenly heard the faint sound of poetry outside, listening to the voice, it was the second brother Liu Rong-

Wu Sishu Tong runs through thousands of autumns, and the empty mountains are condensed and the clouds are not flowing.

Jiang E cries bamboo [***] sorrow, Wu Ji Chinese bullet gonghou.

Kunshan jade shattered phoenix called, hibiscus wept and smiled.

……

The voice faded away, and when it was over, it was over and over again, mixed with the voice of the eldest brother who didn't know what to say, Liu Wan'er chased until the voice was completely inaudible, and she didn't see her come back to her senses, just leaning on the door frame stupidly, chanting words in her mouth, and her face couldn't tell whether she was crying or laughing......

β€»β€»β€»

The morning light is faint, and the window paper is thin and bright.

Li Xi groaned and slowly opened his eyes, but suddenly felt a splitting headache, and quickly rubbed his temples with his hands, and then gradually felt more comfortable.

Struggling to sit up, I felt like everything in front of me was shaking. He shook his head vigorously, and the scene from yesterday's banquet began to slowly come back to his mind.

In the end, everyone seemed to have drunk too much, even the little fat man Li Zao, who was known as a huge amount of wine fighting and not getting drunk, was already swaying in the end, but he was a person who didn't drink much before until the end, and he was still a little sober in the end.

Although the current body is not the original office of the little white-collar workers, when he first started drinking, he was similar to the Tang Dynasty, in the face of the wine that was obviously very low in alcohol, he would still feel intense, but after drinking, the amount of alcohol in the previous life gradually found some back, so that when the banquet was about to disperse, it seemed that in addition to the great talent, there was a thousand cups of not drunk [wine fairy] title fell on his head.

But it was just a moment of gritting his teeth and holding on, and when he returned home, he immediately fell to the ground.

Squinting his eyes and seeing that the sky outside was already thin and bright, it seemed that it was still early when he got up, so Li Xi simply lay back down, but the moment his body lay down, the corner of his eyes suddenly swept to a strange scene, making him quickly sit up again as soon as he lay down.

There is a luxurious couch on the main hall!

The three houses where Li Xi lives are typical hall structures, although there are only three, and they are only thatched halls, but there are halls and rooms, which is also the reason why Li Xi and his mother took a fancy to this small courtyard back then - after all, the family is from a study and an official, even if they are down, they are always a little particular about it.

The one in the middle of this thatched hall is a hall, which is used for meeting guests and eating. Both compartments are separated by walls, leaving only the doors. One of the left compartments is a bedroom, which was originally lived by Li Xi's mother, and after she died, Li Xi slept in it, while the one in the right compartment was arranged as Li Xi's study, and before her mother died, Li Xi also lived there at night.

Although Li Xi's family is very poor, since it is called a hall, it naturally needs some hospitality furniture, but now, looking through the open door, the original furniture in the main hall no longer knows where it has gone, and there is only a couch full of it!

Just got up and pulled on his shoes and wanted to go out to have a look, but Li Xi suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but raise his hand and slap it heavily on his head-

Yesterday afternoon, I directed someone to help remove the furniture and make room for this couch!

Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the scene when Liu Rong brought someone over this couch yesterday afternoon.

I remember that when he left, Liu Rong's face seemed to be smiling, and he deliberately pulled himself aside and said to himself: "According to the instructions of our old man, someone sent it to you, that couch is what she has carried with her since she was a child, it is said that she has slept for more than ten years, and has never changed it, if you have the ability, go up and try to see what it tastes like." But there is one thing I have to say in my head, lest you say that I am a big brother and you ......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to look into the room mysteriously, and then said: "This woman is very beautiful, and the country is beautiful, but there is a situation...... As far as I know, including our old man, in the past ten years, she has changed five or six owners, but no one dares to keep her for a long time, in my opinion, it is simply a hot potato to take her, it is not easy to lose, and I dare not keep it...... Alas, speaking of which, according to the meaning of our old man, she shouldn't have given it to you, who knew that your kid was suddenly so powerful, and he came to a poem that overwhelmed the audience, so ...... Hello do it yourself! ”

Shape up or ship out? How can you do it yourself?

At that time, I was in a daze, and I didn't seem to understand what this uncle meant, so I just patted my chest loudly to reassure him, and then came back and lay down.

But now that I wake up and think about it, I start to think, why is something wrong?

Hot potato?

By the way, the old man seemed to have said at the banquet, what is the surname of this singer?

Ah, I think of it, Wu Ji Chinese bullet Konghou!

Thinking of this, Li Xi was stunned for a moment, and then he shivered!

Yaya, surnamed Wu?

This woman can't have any blood relationship with Wu Zetian, right?

Li Xi was suddenly a little confused.

His historical level is not very good, and he has limited knowledge about the history of the Tang Dynasty, basically what was said in the history textbook when he was in school, and he probably knew something, like the rule of Zhenguan, Wu Zetian, the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Anshi Rebellion or something, and this has been graduated from college for many years, and even these things are only known a little roughly.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that someone else has vaguely heard it say, it seems that Li Longji launched a coup d'Γ©tat and killed his grandmother or grandma Wu Zetian?

Belch...... It's not right, Li Longji should have killed his aunt, yes, it's his aunt, Princess Taiping!

It seems that since then, the martial artist has been completely finished, so logically speaking, well, this martial artist can't have anything to do with that martial artist.

But why did his eldest brother remind himself not to touch this hot potato?

I don't understand, I don't understand......

Li Xi sat on the couch and speculated for a while, but after gaining nothing, he immediately recalled his historical knowledge there along the lines of thought just now.

He tried his best to recall all the messy historical knowledge he knew, but unfortunately, he only knew those things he knew over and over again, so after recalling for a long time, he could only sigh gloomily in the end, and he sighed to himself: "It's terrible to have no knowledge!" ”

This year is the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan, of course it is Tang Xuanzong, this is definitely not mistaken, but the question is, which year is the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan?

As an ordinary little white-collar worker who has no love for history, Li Xi only knows that it seems that Kaiyuan is a Tianbao after it is over, and then An Lushan will rebel, and then Yang Guifei will die, and then ...... I don't know.

The twenty-first year of Kaiyuan is over, won't it be the year of Tianbao?

The Anshi Rebellion happened in a few years of Tianbao?

Wouldn't Lao Tzu just time for the national turmoil as soon as he crossed over?

……

It's messed up, and even Li Xi himself feels that the more he thinks about it, the farther he goes, and he's completely out of order. He sighed, and wanted to lie back and squint for a while, and wait until he had slept enough to think about the big things, but when his eyes swept over the couch in the main hall, he paused again, and simply stood up and walked over.

This couch is very large, and the carvings are extremely exquisite, and the tents hang down on all sides, it is simply a beautiful small house that can be moved, and when you get closer, you can smell a very good smell of agarwood emanating from this couch.

This couch is estimated to be worth a lot of money! β€”β€”This is the first conclusion that Li Xi observed.

Although he has not been in this world for a long time, through in-depth observation in these days, Li Xi has quickly mastered some concepts that are unique to people in this era, such as women and couches.

For the vast majority of women in this era, they are actually homeless, today they are still under the knees of their parents, they may marry tomorrow, and then, they may be divorced, they will remarry, and so on, no matter where they go, the house belongs to men, and the property is also men's, they can only live and use it temporarily, but those things will never belong to them, and men may kick them out of the door at any time and deprive them of their right to use.

But the couch is not, the couch belongs to women.

Even if you are furloughed, you must leave the house, and you must be forced to leave if you can't even bring jewelry and clothes, and you can take the couch with you. This is not only customary among the people, but also in the homes of those court officials.

Therefore, almost the vast majority of women in this era will dream of wanting a couch that belongs only to them from the time they are sensible, and rich people will also carefully buy or simply build a couch for their daughter before she gets married - this is even the most expensive dowry of this woman, and it is also the most valuable treasure in their lives.

Li Xi stepped forward, and with the faint morning light, he stretched out his hand and touched the luxurious couch, and couldn't help smacking his lips at the moment, this wood can't be the legendary agarwood, right? Or, sandalwood?

These pieces of wood are expensive in modern society, and it is estimated that they will not be too cheap in the Tang Dynasty.

He looked up to see the situation on the couch, but unfortunately the cloth of the corner tent hanging down was very thick, and the light was insufficient, so he couldn't see what was going on inside, so he simply walked to the front, reached out and opened the tent door and looked up, but when he saw the situation on the couch clearly, he was suddenly stunned.
