Chapter 17: The Crossing of Swarms
In order to prevent these women from blocking the city gate and interfering with the normal life of the people, Liu Changqing walked to an open and secluded place at the foot of the city wall, and then chanted a new five-character quatrain for them. And when those women heard that Liu Changqing was going to recite poetry, they rushed towards Liu Changqing's delicate and charming flower like a swarm of bees crossing the border.
"Looking for Nanxi Chang Taoist priest, Changqing poem, hum.
Along the way, there are traces of berry moss.
The white clouds are still quiet, and the spring grass is closed. Look at the pine color through the rain, and follow the mountain to the water source. Creek flowers and Zen, relatively forgetful. ”
Liu Changqing waved his hand while reading, and when the whole poem was finished, the women sitting on the ground were completely crazy, either with a fan or crying bitterly, and some ran directly to hug Liu Changqing, but were rejected by Liu Changqing's crosshand, and most of them threw silver and embroidered handkerchiefs to Liu Changqing, and the slightly rich threw cloth and silk silk to Liu Changqing.
I thought that Liu Changqing would leave after reading the poem, but I didn't expect him to sing it again after chanting.
These women were completely emotionally overflowing, rushing towards Liu Changqing in groups, and Liu Changqing didn't have time to accept the gifts given to him by these fanatical fans, but blocked his sleeves, and then disappeared into the sea of flowers while taking advantage of the chaos.
Yuan Xiaotian and Dao Lian were watching Liu Changqing at the city gate, but they didn't expect Liu Changqing to use a hat in front of his face, and without Yuan Xiaotian and Dao Lian asking more, Liu Changqing had already pulled the two of them into the city gate in a hurry.
Princess Yonghe sat on the city tower with a fan and saw what had just happened completely in her eyes, while Wang Quan, the concubine, stood aside and handed tea and water to Princess Yonghe.
"Go, what new tricks can I do when this Liu Changqing can come up with, it's not those old tricks."
After Princess Yonghe finished complaining, she slowly walked down the city tower, reciting Liu Changqing's poems as she walked, and her face was always filled with a sweet smile.
"By the way, who is this Nanxi Chang Taoist priest, he can ask Changqing to write a poem to him, you will go to check the details of this Chang Taoist priest for me tomorrow." Princess Yonghe turned her head to Wang Quan and said, Wang Quan got Princess Yonghe's orders, and she nodded her head again and again, not daring to be slacking off at all.
"Also, after tomorrow, you will bring him to the palace, and the palace will see him, if you can't bring him, you won't come back, you know?"
Princess Yonghe said to Wang Quan with a stern face, Wang Quan was only willing to nod his head, and waited until he served Princess Yonghe into the sedan chair, and he let out a long breath.
Liu Changqing took Dao Lian and Yuan Xiaotian to his mansion in Chang'an City, although he had been away from Beijing for some years, and the family and maid had left one after another, but the old housekeeper was still there, and the old housekeeper was also overjoyed to see Liu Changqing, and after a simple greeting to each other, Liu Changqing asked the old housekeeper to prepare a table of sumptuous wine and food for himself, and cleaned up two spacious and clean residences for Yuan Xiaotian and Daolian.
In the evening, Liu Changqing had a drink with Yuan Xiaotian and Daolian, and several people talked about everything during the banquet, and they had become confidants and friends.
"I can invite Xiaotian out of the mountain this time, it is really a blessing for me Liu Changqing to live in three lives, come, Xiaotian, you and my brothers drink this cup full."
After Liu Changqing finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all, Yuan Xiaotian saw that Liu Changqing was a temperamental, so he also drank a cup.
