35. Name
When Tang Ling took Yun'er and stepped into the Immortal Trace Pavilion with leisurely steps, the shopkeeper returned to his counter respectfully after leading them in, working for the twelve immortal products.
Leaning against the window, Yun'er happened to see the group of guests who could be called deserted and fled. Seeing their hasty appearance with her own eyes, this lively aunt and grandmother had long forgotten the unhappiness just now, and clapped her hands and laughed: "This group of people is running so fast. ”
"That's natural, you dare to offend our aunt and grandmother, aren't you afraid that your aunt and grandmother will settle accounts after the autumn?"
Tang Ling agreed, and at this time, he didn't sit down, but just stood at the two round tables in the Immortal Trace Pavilion. The table is not very large, but it is neatly arranged with twenty-six sets of cutlery and round chairs, which looks quite crowded.
"Settle accounts after the autumn?, how can this fairy be so gorgeous and broad-minded, how can he be as knowledgeable as them?" Yun'er pouted, "I can't be busy bullying you alone, how can I have time to find someone else's ballast?"
"That's right. ”
It was rare that she didn't quarrel with Yun'er, Tang Ling's eyes stayed on the two round dinner tables, as if she was thoughtful.
Yun'er didn't let Tang Ling fall into thought, and a question jumped out at the right time: "Ling, are you very famous?"
"Huh?"
Tang Ling looked dazed.
Yun'er pouted, she had been with Tang Ling for many years, and the only thing she was dissatisfied with him was that he would always keep silent about his past: "If you come less, you can scare Zhao Zhuheng and them with just the three words 'Arresting Fengyun', and you can actually enter this Immortal Trace Pavilion, which means that you must have been very famous before." ”
Tang Ling scratched his head, looking a little helpless now: "I really don't know why the Killing Wind Cloud surprised them so much, it's just that the Immortal Trace Pavilion, today, I think only I can use this in the world." ”
"Why is that?"
Yun'er's eyes lit up, and her intuition told her that Tang Ling was about to start his story again. Although in many cases, this guy's story is really boring, those stories related to the past must be extremely exciting, and the most important thing is that Tang Ling will never lie to her with some nonsense.
Tang Ling looked at the two round dining tables again, and the nostalgic look in his eyes became more and more intense.
"You told me. Impatient with Tang Ling's memories, Yun'er had already spoken to ask.
"Look at the two tables in front of you first, can't you see anything?" Tang Ling was not in a hurry to present the story, but asked with a smile.
Craftsmanship aside, the materials of these two tables are already breathtaking. Even the most discerning of the most discerning people can see that the round table, together with the twenty-six chairs, was carved and polished from a single piece of rosewood, and there was no trace of a patchwork.
Fingertips swept over the edge of one of the dining tables, Tang Ling said slowly: "The raw material of this set of tables and chairs is a 10,000-year-old rosewood tree born in the fairy world, and the whole tree requires fifteen people to hug it. ”
Follow Tang Ling to travel for many years, although he has not been to any big city, but there are a lot of tours, Yun'er knows that the general red sandalwood, the diameter is only about one foot, this one needs fifteen people to hug the 10,000-year-old red sandalwood, it is indeed worthy of the "immortal product".
Sandalwood, not a thousand years and can not become a talent, even the mortal world has a common saying called "ten sandalwood and nine empty", there are both "hollow" said, there are also "empty wealth" words, its preciousness can be imagined. And this "immortal" sandalwood was actually used to carve tables and chairs piece by piece, and its luxury can no longer be described in words. In the face of such heavenly and earthly treasures, no matter how advanced the carving skills of mortals are, they are only vassals.
Yun'er observed it carefully, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "The person who built this set of tables and chairs is definitely a fool who is tyrannical." ”
"But on the other hand, you will also see what kind of status a person has to be qualified to enter this Immortal Pavilion. Tang Ling took the opportunity to induce.
Pulling over a chair, Yun'er sat on it very unceremoniously, and thought about it very seriously, and after a long time, she finally spit out two words: "Emperor?"
"Not bad. Although Yun'er didn't point out which emperor it was, this answer was already satisfying Tang Ling. He pointed to the chair under Yun'er: "What you are sitting on now is the chair that Taizong Li Shimin sat on that day." ”
"Scared?" An exclamation, Yun'er was so frightened that she almost bounced, but Tang Ling had already held her down one step earlier.
Looking down at the chair under her, Yun'er was a little incredulous: "You mean Taizong Li Shimin has sat on this chair?"
"When the Yanxian Building opened, Taizong Li Shimin was present to congratulate, this set of tables and chairs, is one of the gifts he gave to the Yanxian Building, not only that, but he also set up a banquet in this Xianji Pavilion to entertain his twenty-four subordinates, these twenty-four subordinates are also the twenty-four heroes of the later Lingyan Pavilion. ”
Tang Ling patted Yun'er on the shoulder, said what he had just said, and said again: "The position under you was where Taizong Li Shimin was sitting that day. ”
Then he took a step to Yun'er's left, just in front of the second chair: "Sitting in this position is Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao State." ”
One more step.
In this position, Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng sat that day. ”
Step 3.
"Liang Guogong Fang Xuanling. ”
......
Tang Ling walked step by step like this, every time he took a step, he was facing a chair impartially, and every time he walked in front of a chair, he also said a name. At this time, he didn't pay attention to Yun'er's reaction, and seemed to be stuck in memories and couldn't extricate himself.
Yun'er watched from the sidelines, only to feel that Tang Ling, who had a hippie smile in the past, now seemed very lonely, and her heart was inexplicably tight.
Tang Ling walked past the two dining tables, walked a total of twenty-four steps, and when he walked to the twenty-fourth step, he said the twenty-fourth name: "Lu Guogong, Cheng Biting Jin." ”
Including the position where Yun'er was sitting, Tang Ling had already named twenty-five names at this time, and the twenty-sixth chair was placed on the right side of Yun'er at this time, and on the left side of Cheng Biting Jin's seat.
Pointing to this chair, Yun'er couldn't wait to ask, "Who sat on this chair that day?"
"To be exact, it was not a mortal who sat on this chair, but it was the most important guest of the day. It is also because of him that this building will be called the Banquet Immortal Building, this room will be called the Immortal Pavilion, and the twelve dishes that will be laid out here that day will be called the twelve styles of immortal products today. ”
Tang Ling answered Yun'er's question unhurriedly, and sat on this chair as a matter of course.
"And on that day, I sat in this chair and got a name. ”
In the next moment, memories that had been dusty for many years emerged.
A hundred years ago, on the opening day of Yanxian Tower.
That day, under the attention of everyone, Tang Ling sat in this position, at that time he did not have a name, but was irresponsibly called "Hunting Fengyun" by the world, but at that time, this name had not yet alarmed the world, and his "friends" preferred to call him "stinky boy" directly.
"Stinky boy, come on, come on, I'll have three more bowls with you. ”
The man who spoke was a strong man, but he was so strong that he was worthy of the title of "fat man", and his beard was still stained with oil from his meals and drinks. Even so, his enthusiasm was not affected in the slightest, and he was seen holding a jar of fine wine in one hand and a bowl in the other, pouring coveted wine into it without any ambiguity.
The "stinky boy" was unceremonious, and picked up the wine bowl in front of him with a big grin: "I'm afraid you won't make it?" Cheng Fatty, look at how I drink you today." ”
The wine is a good wine, although the value is not as good as the table and chair they sit on, but it is also the best of the people's tribute to the imperial court.
Next to him, a middle-aged man with a sword eyebrow said angrily: "Pity this palace wine, I haven't drunk much yet, but it's all in your stomach." ”
This person is Taizong Li Shimin, but even if it is from the grief and indignation of the emperor of the dynasty, he still did not get Cheng Yanjin's understanding, but aroused his contempt: "Shimin, I said that you kid is so slammed into the door? As far as the wine in your palace is concerned, there is no problem in drinking it for hundreds of years, since you can catch this stinky boy for the banquet today, how can you let him go?" As soon as the words fell, Cheng Yanjin looked up for three bowls.
"Lao Cheng, you ...... How can you call Your Majesty like that?"
I don't know who is commenting on Cheng Yanjin.
His eyes were half-open and half-closed, Cheng Yanjin didn't even look at the source of the voice, but just sighed for a while: "My old Cheng is a rough person, it's acceptable to obey the rules on weekdays, and I have to behave in a proper manner at the wine table, isn't that to cut the meat of my fat man?"
"I don't cut your flesh today, in the Immortal Pavilion, only about friendship, regardless of monarchs and ministers. Li Shimin said with a smile, "The rules of the palace are cumbersome, and it is rare to relax today, brothers, don't stick to it." ”
"That's right. Cheng Biting Jin's old face bloomed into a flower, "Drink, drink, stinky boy, you still owe me three bowls." ”
These words have been said to the "stinky boy", and this founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, who is rarely free from etiquette, has been ruthless to pour him down.
"Or the same sentence: I'm afraid you won't make it?"
The "stinky boy" was also not reserved, lifted a jar of unopened old wine, slapped the mud with one palm, held the wine jar the size of a human head with one hand, and drank the entire jar of old wine under the supervision of Cheng Yanjin.
This move made Cheng Yanjin's eyes light up: "Okay! Wine, you should drink it like this, one cup at a time, bowl by bowl is not in line with my old Cheng's temper." After that, he also imitated the "stinky boy" behavior, opened a jar of old wine and drank it with his head up.
Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The stinky boy met Cheng Fatzi, if he is destined to reunite one day, I have to move all the wine in the palace." ”
"You don't know until now?"
The unanimous accusation came from "stinky boy" and "Cheng fat".
The second stage of this table banquet started very abruptly and ended just as quickly, as for the ending, Cheng Fatzi was drunk and lying on the ground.
Even so, the spirit of creation who was still called "stinky boy" by everyone back then was also uncomfortable, although Cheng Biting Jin was a mortal, but if he was selected among the six clans, the amount of wine would definitely be among the best, and he had been fighting wine one after another so far, "Stinky Boy" was also a little dizzy and uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, among the people present, only Li Shimin and the "stinky boy" were still able to sit firmly at the table, and without the shouting Cheng Biting Jin, the atmosphere actually revealed a little sadness.
"After today, I wonder when we will be able to meet again?"
Li Shimin personally poured the wine glass in front of him for the "stinky boy".
"Since we know each other, why worry about the next meeting? How can you have half the bearing of a son of heaven when you look so sentimental? Just remember that you and I are close friends, and that's enough. ”
"That's right. Li Shimin raised the wine glass in front of him, "My dear friend." ”
On that day, everyone, including the "stinky boy", was drunk.
At the end of the banquet, Li Shimin, who was only a little sober, patted the shoulder of the "stinky boy" and said to him with a mouth full of wine: "Stinky boy, several of our old brothers have discussed it privately. You have no name or surname for many years, if you don't mind, how about using our country's name 'Tang' as your surname? As for the name, let it be up to you, so that in the future, if the descendants of our old brothers are lucky enough to meet you, they can also respectfully address you. ”
The wine glass in the hand of the "stinky boy" trembled slightly.
"In this case, then ...... 'Ling' hereby thanked Taizong for giving him the surname. ”
