Chapter 3, Section 20 Spring Festival
The three of them were chatting in the house when a servant knocked on the door and walked in.
"Scholar Qiqi, Lord Shangguan sent someone to pick you up. ”
"I know, you go down first, I'll go in a moment. Chengshan sent this delicate servant out.
"Are you here to take peach blossom luck?" Shao Hui patted Chengshan on the shoulder. "Now it's starting to be like glue?"
"I just came back from her, and now she calls me over again for some reason. "Chengshan is actually beautiful in his heart, Shao Hui's idiom just now seems to be used correctly, it is really like glue!
As long as Shangguan Wan'er does not enter the palace, she will invite Chengshan to sit in the Xiuwen Pavilion, in addition to reciting poems and commenting on articles, the two of them are more about wine and chatter, and they can still enjoy the empty courtyard for a long time, even though it is winter.
"You'd better be careful, be careful of being used by her!" Gongsun Yu had already experienced his happiness from Chengshan's eyes, so he reminded him to pay attention.
"I know!" Chengshan nodded to Gongsun Yu. "I have three chapters of the law with her, and we only talk about poetry and books, not about political affairs. ”
"I think it's just about love!" Shao Hui deliberately interjected.
"You, a monk, are so impure, no wonder Your Majesty has seen through it!" Chengshan patted Shao Hui's bald head. "I also said that to learn the Dharma, I think it is necessary to make your six roots pure first!"
Cheng Shan picked up a knife from the table and shook it in front of Shao Hui.
"Don't make a fuss, let's go quickly! I'll give Shao Hui a history lesson at home. If it's okay, you don't have to come back. Gongsun Yu said very seriously, but his last sentence seemed to tickle Chengshan's itch.
"Yes, you don't have to come back if you have something!" Shao Hui was smiling again.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Chengshan shook his hand and went out, and when he saw the person who came to pick him up, Chengshan frowned slightly.
"Why is it him?" he said, without further ado, and slipped into the luxurious carriage and let them lead him along.
Although it is a luxurious carriage, compared to modern transportation, the shock absorption is still very poor. Chengshan sat in the car and swayed from side to side, very uncomfortable. Suddenly, the small curtain on the right shook slightly, and something shot in from the outside with a "pop", which startled Chengshan.
But the coachman and the servant did not seem to notice it and continued to drive the car.
Chengshan looked down and saw that it was a small paper ball, in which a stone was wrapped to weigh it.
"What kind of fame?" muttered Chengshan.
He picked it up and unfolded it, and there were four words written on it. "Give me back the treasure. ”
"It turned out to be him. Chengshan smiled. He is now powerful and has whatever he wants. Even if you have incurred any debts before, it is not a problem to repay them now. He lifted the curtain and looked outside, but didn't see any suspicious people appearing.
"I have good skills, and with the Youling White Jade Bracelet, I dare to come out and do nonsense. ”
It turned out that it was Yuan Yijie who threw the note, and he had gone to the eastern suburbs of Luoyang to find the ancient mound, he should not have come to Chengshan to ask for money, but to ask for something. Chengshan was going to see Shangguan Wan'er, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it, he should go to Gongsun Yu or Tong Shaohui.
And the three of them have already divided the work, Yuan Yijie and Bailixuan's affairs are mainly in charge of Gongsun Yu, and Chengshan is too lazy to interfere.
Thinking about it, this luxurious carriage sent Chengshan to Wu Sansi's mansion.
"Welcome to the university!" Wu Sansi stood at the door with a smile to welcome Chengshan's arrival.
King Liang was polite. Chengshan also hurriedly returned the salute, but he didn't expect Wu Sansi to come out to pick him up in person.
"Lord Shangguan has been waiting inside for a long time. ”
Chengshan saw Wu Sansi's ill-intentioned expression and smiled. "Chromophobia", he doesn't need to hide it, since Wu Sansi is willing to fulfill their good deeds, then why not?
It was still a luxurious banquet and a luxurious pomp, Chengshan was no longer surprised, but he was very surprised when he saw Shangguan Wan'er.
"Why is Wan'er so delicate today?"
Shangguan Wan'er changed into a woman's clothes, with high cloud sideburns, brocade clothes and jade robes, and a plump and beautiful figure, just like a fairy in the sky descending to earth, which made people can't help but feel their hearts ripple and their blood gush.
"Don't you like it?" Shangguan Wan'er bowed her head in shyness.
"I like it!" Chengshan stammered a little when he spoke, he stared at Wan'er's eyes in a daze, grabbed her slender jade hand with both hands and took it into his arms.
"Let's get into the table. Wu Sansi smiled like a flower next to him, I really don't know where his joy comes from?
After the three of them sat down, the drum music sounded, and between the staggering, Chengshan looked at Shangguan Wan'er like a hibiscus out of the water, and felt more and more hot and unbearable.
"The university scholar is good at drinking!" Wu Sansi admired as he toasted.
Thank you King Liang for your hospitality. Chengshan pretended to be drunk and hazy, wishing it would end as soon as possible, so that he could live a sweet world with Shangguan Wan'er.
"I wonder how long this wine will last?" Wu Sansi suddenly looked lonely.
"Why do you say that?" Cheng Shan was slightly taken aback.
Wu Sansi was silent, he waved his hand at the dancer, the music stopped instantly, and everyone then withdrew from the banquet hall.
Wu Sansi stood up with his wine glass, walked in front of Cheng Shan, and suddenly fell to his knees.
"Why is this?" Chengshan hurriedly hugged Wu Sansi with both hands. "Why did King Liang make this big gift? The students can't afford it!"
Shangguan Wan'er also came over. King Liang has been anxious about this matter recently, and it is difficult to sleep and eat, and he also asked the university scholar for advice. ”
She glanced at Chengshan, and Chengshan seemed to understand. After all, in the past few days, he and Shangguan Wan'er have been getting along day and night, grinding their ears and temples, and their relationship is very harmonious, and there is still a tacit understanding about this.
"King Liang, please sit down, and talk slowly about something. If students can help, they will definitely do it. Wu Sansi is already in his fifties, he is so polite and hospitable to Chengshan, if there is something to ask for, Chengshan is embarrassed to refuse.
"Someone. Wu Sansi slapped his palm, and saw a child servant walk in with a tray covered with a piece of red yarn.
The boy respectfully placed the tray on Chengshan's table, and then stepped back.
"What is this?" Chengshan was a little puzzled, through this layer of red veil, he faintly felt that it should be gold and silver inside.
"Laugh at the scholars. Wu Sansi was very polite.
"This?" Chengshan hesitated slightly, he glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, and Wan'er also signaled him not to refuse.
Chengshan lifted the red yarn, and there were neat gold ingots on the tray, piled up like a hill. The color of gold is always refreshing, and it is even more dazzling by the light of the red candle.
"What does that mean?"
"It's just a small courtesy, not a respect. Wu Sansi had to get up and salute.
"King Liang is really too polite. Chengshan hurriedly motioned for Wu Sansi to sit still.
"It's hard for students to accept this gift!" Chengshan felt that the comer was not good, if he rashly accepted, I don't know what kind of request Wu Sansi would make?
"Is that too little?"
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Shangguan Wan'er knew Chengshan's temper better, and she hurriedly interjected from the side. "Liang Wang Aicai, this is a little careful, you don't shirk. ”
Chengshan glanced up at Shangguan Wan'er, he was a little puzzled, why did Wan'er actually help Wu Sansi speak? Chengshan thought about it again, anyway, they have come and done, what is there to worry about? It is better to see what they want to do.
So he didn't shirk anymore. "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey. ”
"The university scholar is really a famous person, and his personality is indeed bold!" Wu Sansi saw that Chengshan accepted his kindness, and immediately high-fived and laughed, he drank a few more glasses with Chengshan, and finally achieved his goal!
"King Liang might as well say it directly. ”
After drinking a few glasses, Wu Sansi still wanted to speak and stopped, and Chengshan couldn't help but curse in his heart, he was really a hypocritical guy.
Wu Sansi hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke. "Your Majesty is old, and I hope that the scholars will help you!"
"If you don't work for King Liang's teachings, students must do their best!" Chengshan hurriedly put down the wine glass and arched his hand to the upper left, after all, he had to be careful when he mentioned Wu Zetian's name.
"Is that all?"
Wu Sansi smiled, he turned his head to look at Shangguan Wan'er, and Wan'er nodded. So he spoke again. "Your Majesty will be a hundred years old, and I hope that the university scholars will take care of you!"
King Liang laughed. Seongsan understood that this was his subject. "King Liang is blessed with heaven, and Jiren has his own heavenly appearance. ”
"But now the DPRK and China ......," Wu Sansi wanted to say and stopped.
"No problem. Cheng Shan said very surely.
"Why do you say this?" Wu Sansi's eyes lit up.
Although as long as Wu Zetian is alive, he will enjoy endless glory and wealth, but Wu Zetian is over eighty years old after all, and there is a possibility of death at any time.
"The prince has been established, but it is the hope of all, and it cannot be shaken. "Chengshan is right. After Li Xian was welcomed back and re-established as the crown prince, the ministers of the court and the central government seemed to be much calmer and no longer troubled Wu Zetian. But this also shows that once he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, Li Tang's forces will make a comeback, and Wu Sansi is likely to be attacked by the ministers of the court, and his future is uncertain.
"I wonder if King Liang is good friends with the crown princess?" The crown princess that Chengshan said was Wei, and she was Li Xian's second wife.
In the first year of the Emperor, that is, in 684 AD, Li Xian ascended the throne, and Wei was made queen. In the same year, Zhongzong Li Xian was deposed as the king of Luling by Wu Zetian, and Wei also lost his status as the queen and followed him to Fangzhou.
Webster's family was in a miserable situation after Zhongzong was deposed. His father Wei Xuanzhen was exiled to Qinzhou and died, his mother Cui Shi was killed by Ning Cheng, the leader of Qinzhou, and his brothers Wei Xun, Wei Hao, Wei Dong and Wei Zhu all died in Rongzhou, and the two younger sisters escaped and were spared.
During the period of solitary confinement, whenever Li Xian heard that Wu Zetian had sent an envoy coming, he would panic and want to commit suicide, Wei Shi stopped him and said: "Fortune and misfortune are not static, at most one death, why are you so anxious!"
Seeing the calm and calm Webster, Li Xian admired her very much, so he obeyed her. He once swore to Webster in private: "If I can see the light of day again in the future, I will definitely let you do as you like, without any restrictions!"
Wei and Li Xian have experienced all kinds of hardships and hardships together, and the relationship between the two is very deep, and they can be regarded as a couple in distress. Wu Sansi is very clear about this, but why did Chengshan mention her?
