Chapter 19: The Six Difficult Marriage Envoys

In every story, someone hears hope, someone hears sadness. I'm in charge of telling, that's all.

============================

Jian Wei went out in disguise on the day Wan Yan Liang and them left, and everything went smoothly because of Wan Yan Yong's "unintentional" fall.

When she arrived in Shangjing, she first found an inn to live in, and because Zhao Zhi's similar quid pro quo, she didn't have the heart to go to the Nantong Commercial Bank for help.

I wanted to plan to return to the Southern Song Dynasty in a few days, but I asked other merchants and knew that my money was far from enough, so I gave up for the time being.

For Zhao Zhi and Wan Yanliang, she thought about them casually, and threw them behind, she had nothing to do with them, so why not enjoy her life.

And Jin Wushu and the "fake" Zhao Yun he will see make her a little distressed, I don't know if it will affect Yan Yong.

Thinking about it, history needs to be respected by people with integrity, and besides, it's just a kind of cause and effect, she always says this to herself, becoming more and more self-satisfied.

There is a teahouse next to the inn, which is called the Castle. The Jin people loved to drink tea, but they did not produce it in large quantities, and most of them were obtained from trading with the Southern Song Dynasty. The tea leaves in the teahouse are a little coarse, but there is a lot of traffic every day.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Shangjing held a very lively willow shooting and juju competition. It was a pity that she had concerns at that time, and did not dare to publicize it, and when she went to the teahouse in her spare time, she only felt itchy when she heard them talk about the spectacular scene and the superb archery skills of the archers.

The teahouse has a regular storyteller. is over half a hundred years old, known as Chen Fuzi. Every afternoon, he always brings his granddaughter to read books. He has a childish face, a long beard fluttering, quite a bit of fairy wind bones, and the white clothes that have not changed over the years, scarves, and cloth shoes. His granddaughter is twelve or thirteen, called Chunluo, and she looks well-behaved and quiet.

Janeway liked the girl very much, and thought she was very much like her cousin, and always took special care of her. It didn't take long for me to get acquainted with them. Chen Fuzi has a lot of experience, so he naturally saw that she was a woman disguised as a man, so he let them make trouble.

Now, the silver on Jian Wei's body is decreasing day by day, so she thought, so she simply talked to Master Chen to tell the story, first, to give full play to her strengths, and secondly, to take care of her.

As soon as she mentioned it, Master Chen readily agreed, and repeatedly asked her to move in with their grandchildren. He said: "Chunluo is growing up day by day, although I am her grandfather, there is still nothing to take care of, you can move together, you can be each other's companions, Chunluo likes you very much." ”

Jian Wei said happily: "Thank you grandpa, I also like my sister very much." She has always had a sweet mouth, and when her grandfather shouted, Chen Fuzile's eyes turned into a slit.

Fortunately, there are not many things, she moved there in the afternoon, the place where she lived is not big, but it is very clean and tidy, there is a fence on the side of the yard, which is crawling with roses, and it is blooming lively.

In the future, she went to the teahouse with Master Chen, and people familiar with her thought that she had something to do with Master Chen's granddaughter, but she smiled and said nothing, and did not ask too much.

Chen Fuzi said that the story is mostly based on the anecdotes of the rivers and lakes, and the secrets of the wild history palace, she has heard a lot, and she feels that the wild history is also somewhat reliable, it is completely out of the control of the official and the winner, and the people's hearts are the yardstick for comment, unlike the official history with the winner's writings to leave joy and evil.

On this day, Master Chen told the story of Princess Wencheng's six difficult marriage envoys, when Songtsen Gampo repeatedly asked Tang for marriage, and the last time he went, Tianzhu, Dashi, Zhong Gesar and King Hall all sent envoys to propose. Tang Taizong Li Shimin was very embarrassed. For the sake of fairness, he decided to test the marriage envoys, and those who passed the test could marry the princess.

The story of the six difficult marriage envoys is very interesting, although it has long been known, but Jian Wei still listens to it with relish, and Chen Fuzi likes to lose his burden and ambush when he tells stories, which sounds very enjoyable.

But Master Chen has only made a start, and the next step is for Jian Wei to talk about.

He said: "Since I have accepted you, I will eventually go to the direction of the teacher. You just remember that when you tell a story, as long as you know the story, tell it with an ambush, speak smartly, and have your own style, it will be good naturally. ”

Jane Wei saw that she had already said this, and she was also a little competitive, so she stubbornly went for it.

After the break in the middle, it was Janeway's turn to appear, she forced her composure and touched the two chestnut planks in her hand twice, and the audience was quiet, Chunluo stood aside, and put the two teas and a plate of snacks brought by the bartender on the table.

The chestnut board had been used for a long time, warm and slippery in the palm of her hand, she looked at the plate of light white taro cake, Chunluo nodded to her with a smile, she took a breath and nodded slightly.

Chunluo unhurriedly beat a small drum, and said crisply: "Ladies and gentlemen, Brother Jian followed my grandfather, and I will talk for the first time today. "She is not very old, and when she speaks, she is an old model who is used to seeing scenes.

Someone below whispered: "Sister Luo, did this little brother Jian follow your grandfather or follow you?" The crowd burst into laughter.

Chunluo was not annoyed: "It doesn't matter who you follow, as long as you let everyone listen to it and have a few good luck today, it will also be our creation." ”

Master Chen has been in this teahouse for a long time, and he talks wonderfully on weekdays, and naturally some regular customers are willing to sell him some face, and they only shout: "That's it, don't interrupt, listen to the chapter of the little master." ”

Jian Wei cleared her throat: "Last time, I said that Songtsan Gampo did not hesitate to start a war in order to win Princess Wencheng, but unfortunately he was defeated by the Tang Dynasty. He was unwilling, and after two years, he sent Lu Dongzan to Chang'an again to ask for marriage. Tang Taizong was moved by his request, but unfortunately, Tianzhu, Da Shi, Zhong Gesar and King Hall all sent envoys to propose. Now there are more monks and less porridge, so what should I do? ”

Chunluo smiled: "You can't divide the princess, one for each person?" ”

Jian Wei said: "Yes, Taizong is also in a difficult situation. After thinking about it in the end, Taizong decided to ask these marriage envoys to compete in wisdom, and whoever is the smartest can marry the princess and return to China. Although it is not the monarch of each country who competes in person, the envoys sent by each country are personally chosen by the king, which is considered fair. ”

Her gaze slowly swept over the scene, although her story was not as wonderful as that of Master Chen, but the story was novel, and everyone present listened attentively, everyone was waiting for how Tang Taizong would test the marriage envoys.

In the silence, a string of coquettish laughter suddenly sounded, and everyone looked over in astonishment, only to see a woman about eighteen years old, she was wearing a red turf ball pattern brocade cardigan with large sleeves, a long skirt of the same color, a bun on her hair, a comb grate and a hairpin, and behind her stood a maid with a double maid. At the moment, he was laughing and trembling.

After a long while, she stopped laughing, and Janeway saw that although she was pretty, she had an imperious and domineering momentum.

She said sarcastically: "The little master must talk about the six difficult marriage envoys next." Silk satin wears nine pearls, identifies the mother and son of the white horse, eats a hundred sheep and drinks a hundred wines and tanned a hundred skins, identifies a hundred pine roots, enters the palace at night to identify the circuit, and identifies Princess Wencheng. But after three or two sentences, I shook the burden for so long. Such a well-known story in the streets is also worthy of the little master's sale. Don't you really laugh at us listeners? ”

Without waiting for Jian Wei to speak, Qing Luo stepped forward and said, "Miss is really knowledgeable and well-informed. It's just storytelling, everyone is just trying to be lively, Miss has a good heart, and you should pity us, don't tell this story in detail. ”

That woman is Wan Yanliang's sister, who was named Princess Qingyi, who has been pampered since she was a child, and she is unreasonable and has three points of crossing, so she came in, looking at Jian Wei's flat and straightforward description, and her burden was also shaking, knowing that she was a novice.

Looking at her handsome appearance again, I had the idea of deliberately embarrassing her, I got a cheap here, where would I be willing to stop, I just thought that it would be good to kick this restaurant, and I could also pass the boring time.
