Sima Yan, Liu Mang, Shu Yan and others were waiting in the Taiji Hall. They guessed that it was impossible for Princess Seventeen and Dr. Xin to agree to come. But the result was a big surprise to them.

Xiao Mo went straight to Liu Mang: "The princess and the doctor agreed to come, but I want to ask you how to compare?" ”

The real purpose of Liu Mang's heart was to see the two beauties, not to compare the Book of Songs with them, so he didn't think about how to compare.

"When the princess and the doctor come, we will discuss it face to face."

"Nonsense." Xiao Mo reprimanded, "How could the princess and the doctor of the Heavenly Dynasty meet you face to face? If you say it now, you just won't dare to compare. ”

"Compare, of course." Seeing that success is about to be achieved, how can you miss the opportunity? Liu Mang couldn't think of it for a while, so he looked at the envoys around him, and suddenly had an idea, "Zhen Yuling is so confident, presumably the princess and the doctor must be very proficient in the Book of Songs, if they recite the original text, it must be difficult for them." I think it's better to let them have a collection of "Book of Songs"? ”

Xiao Mo didn't understand what a collection of sentences was, but he didn't want to be looked down upon by Liu Mang, so he secretly asked Shu Yan: "What is a collection of sentences?" ”

Shu Yan knew Xiao Mo's thoughts, and told him with interest: "Collecting sentences is to select a few original poems from several chapters of predecessors according to a certain theme, and connect them into new poems. The collection of sentences in the "Book of Songs" is naturally selected from the "Book of Songs", but I don't know the specific requirements. ”

Xiao Mo nodded after listening, then pretended to hesitate, and said to Liu Mang: "Well...... How much space? What is the main idea? ”

Liu Mang said: "The content of the theme is arbitrary, as long as it is well connected." However, the three parts of wind, elegance and song must be included, and the style of the fifteen countries is indispensable. As for the length, it is missing to reflect their abilities. Let's do this, there are a total of 40 envoys from the Siyi countries and tribes who participated in the Yuanzheng Conference today, and just now each of us recited a certain verse in the "Book of Songs" for His Majesty, a total of 40 selected verses, so in response, the number of selected chapters in this collection must not be more than no less than the content of the 40 articles. In addition to this, it must also be sung. ”

It is much more difficult to select 40 of the more than 300 poems to form a collection of verses than to memorize 300 poems. But Xiao Mo didn't care about that, made his own opinion, and said bluntly: "Okay, I should answer you." ”

Liu Mang stroked his palms and laughed: "The delicacies are really refreshing." ”

This topic is so tricky that it's hard to get a strong man! Shu Yan repeatedly signaled Xiao Mo not to agree, but Xiao Mo just pretended not to see it. At this point, it is irreparable, so I have to come up with a delaying strategy, and said: "My repertoire today is all arranged, and it can't be disrupted, and then I will play the music of Siyi, if you want to add repertoire, you can only rank last." ”

Liu Mang agreed, and the evil ghost smiled and said: "That's right, even Cao Zijian has to write a poem in seven steps, and according to Mr. Shu's opinion, this song will be ranked last." I'm waiting for good news. ”

After several people reached an agreement, they returned to the emperor. Sima Yan also knew that this matter was very difficult, but he couldn't deny it. Xiao Mo immediately went back to the Jade Leaf Pavilion to inform. Zhixin listened to this request - to include wind, elegance, and song; The style of the fifteen countries is indispensable; and exactly forty more; The most important thing is to connect smoothly. It's not easy to know, but Xiao Mo has already agreed to others, so he has no choice but to fight. The seventeenth princess was very happy just now, but at this time, she didn't have any ideas at all, and she only thought about it by Zhixin alone.

Zhixin tightened her eyebrows and meditated. The first step in the collection of sentences is to have a topic, and then select content around this theme. Whether it is a poem or a music, it is the external expression of the author's inner feelings. And what is most obsessed with Zhixin's heart? After so many years, it is still Shu Yan.

The three people who were born on the same day and month of the same year, they and the person they didn't love all came to Luoyang, but the person they were most concerned about had no news. Although she has been transformed into a first-class gate valve family, and even admired by the golden branches and jade leaves in the palace, enjoying the wealth of the world, her ideology does not want to return to that small village thousands of miles away all the time, and work with him to cultivate and weave, even if it is to eat chaff...... But what happened to him? I'm most afraid of waiting for me anymore!

……

After a period of thought, the mind returned to reality. The poem is complete.

At this time, she suddenly remembered something she was worried about, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes: "Seventeenth princess, you often complain that the emperor doesn't put your daughter at ease, and today is the right time to seize this opportunity to show your father's face well!" ”

......

Xiao Mo had already returned to the Taiji Hall at this time and presided over the Yuanzheng Conference with Shu Yan.

It's Dongyi's Jin Han music that's being played. The four dancers wear purple hats with bird feathers, red and yellow skirts, long sleeves, and black leather boots. The most unique instrument is a reed leaf, which is held between the lips of the musician and skillfully blows a melodious tone. In fact, most of the musical instruments of Chenhan originated from the Central Plains, and there are many types, but in order to welcome today's simple music style, only one of the most distinctive instruments was selected.

Because it was the music and dance of his own country, Park Hee-Kim danced with his hands and kept praising his music and dance to others - "This dance, this music, is simply in the hall and into the room!" And "Whoa!" "Whoa! The exaggerated tone.

The envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, Hai Fujichuan, saw his appearance and sneered: "Envoy Park, this music and dance of your Chen Han is good, the name of the dance must be 'Four Parrot Dance', right?" ”

Park Hee-Kim heard that his words were not kind, and asked with a straight face, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What is a non-parrot with bird feathers on his head, pointed shoes on his feet, red on his face, golden all over his body, and dancing when he smells the leaves?"

Park Hee-jin immediately widened his eyes when he heard this: "You Oriental dwarf savage with a black face tattoo, you can't come up with decent music and dance, so you are envious, jealous and hateful here!" ”

Why did you say this? It turned out that at the Yuanzheng Conference, the vassal countries of the Great Jin Dynasty all wanted to offer their own music and dance, but there were too many vassal countries, and the time was not allowed if all the arrangements were made, so only one country was selected among the four Yi to offer music. Chen Han and Wa Guo both belong to Dongyi, and there will inevitably be competition between the two countries, and after Shu Yan's repeated selection, Chen Han Le finally won.

"Who are the dwarves?" Haito Kawaichi hated this word the most, and said angrily, "Although we live in the East, we are the queen of Taibo, and we are the same clan as the Duke of Zhou, and in the final analysis, we are also the blood of the Central Plains. It's you who are the real Yiren! ”

Park Hee-Kim snorted with his nose and said, "Our Jinhan is not a Yiren. Our ancestors fled from chaos at the end of the Qin Dynasty. To this day, our speech still has the style of the Qin period. And you, after you keep saying that you are an uncle, why are you so short? It must be the seed of the native savages. ”

These two people were arguing with each other, and seeing that the contradiction was about to escalate, they heard Biyu say quietly: "The two of you both claim to be the queen of China, but you just want to climb the Celestial Empire." But have you ever heard the old saying, '50 steps to laugh at 100 steps'? You are all half-pounded and eighty-tael, and after all, you will inevitably lose people and so on. ”

Although this remark temporarily ended the argument between the two, the atmosphere was still awkward. In order to ease the atmosphere, Shu Yan deliberately said loudly to Xiao Mo: "Zhen Yu Ling, what is fresh and delicious next?" ”

Although the food and music of the eight genera have been completed, Xiao Mo still arranges each dish related to each piece of music and dance.

"Yes, of course." Xiao Mo said to Park Hee-jin and Hai Tengchuan, "I heard that Dongyi people like to eat fish and vegetables, so I specially arranged this sour cod." ”

When the two heard this, they no longer looked at each other angrily, and said together: "We like to eat fish well, but we don't know what sour siad is?" ”

"Woad is Chinese cabbage also. Sour woad is pickled cabbage. Just like pickled pickles, but once the cabbage is pickled, the taste will become sour and refreshing, hence the name sour sour. ”

Kaitogawa took a piece of cod meat, put it in his mouth, chewed a few bites, and nodded, "Although the cod has few spines, the fish meat is thick." The common practice, although the fish is full of meat, is easy to be light and tasteless, but after boiling it with sour woad, this problem is completely resolved. ”

Xiao Mo smiled with satisfaction after hearing this, and suddenly saw that Park Xijin didn't eat fish, but only blindly picked and sour sour to eat, so he asked him puzzled: "Envoy Park, why don't you eat fish, isn't it to your liking?" ”

Park Hee-Kim suddenly stood up and said to Xiao Mo: "Of course the fish has my appetite, but compared to the fish, I am more interested in this sour siad, the taste is really wonderful." Although I am near the sea, there are many poor people, and not everyone can afford to eat fish, and ordinary people often lack food to eat. And this sour siad is widely used, the price is low, and it is sour and appetizing, if I can pass on this skill, and then bring it back to China, the people of Chenhan will have no worries about the food. Mr. Shu, Zhen Yu Ling, please be sure to give me advice, and the people of Chenhan will be grateful. ”

Shu Yan saw that Park Xijin's attitude was very sincere, not a whim, so he smiled and said: "This is easy, the technique of pickling cabbage is understood by many people in the court and among the people, so there is no need to ask for a special order." ”

Park Hee-Kim bowed in thanks.

At this time, the Han music and dance have ended, and the next thing to be staged is the Lin Yi music of the Southern Barbarians.

As soon as the dancers of Linyi took the stage, their costumes stunned the audience: several dancers were barefoot, with curly hair, black skin, silver rings in their ears, no clothes and trousers, and only two large shellfish around their waists as a cover. A large shellfish in the left hand and a conch in the right hand. This scallop and conch are not simply props for dancing, but are actually used as wind instruments.

Xiao Mo sighed and said to Shu Yan: "What kind of dance are you?" It's clear that a few fishermen who have returned from going to sea have come up! ”

Shu Yan was afraid that he would cause trouble again, so he motioned to him to make a lower voice: "What do you know?" That's their custom. Linyi is warm all year round, and close to the sea, and its people never dress to avoid the cold, just to hide their shame. In addition to farming, they catch shellfish for food, sew shells to make clothes, and even use shellfish as umbrellas when traveling. The princely chariot does not use a flag umbrella cover at all, and also uses a large shell for it. ”

"No matter what the customs, since you come to the country of etiquette and dance for the Son of Heaven, you must always wear some clothes, what kind of body does it become to be so naked?"

Before he could finish speaking, suddenly the large shell behind one of the dancers loosened, revealing half of his buttocks. Xiao Mo exclaimed and hurriedly turned his face away. Shu Yan was also startled, but fortunately, the dancer was quick and embedded the big shell back on his ass in time.

This scene is only a momentary effort, and many people don't notice it. Several dancers blew up large conches to cover up.

Some people died, but not completely......
