After all, Old Man Hua couldn't defeat Xiao Han. Anyway, he just wrote two words. He wrote a lot of words all day long, so this small request could still be met.
He picked up the thickest writing brush from the pen holder, dipped it full of ink on the inkstone, and said to Xiao Han: "For the sake of that plate of bones, tell me! What should I write?"
Xiao Han was overjoyed when he saw that the old man finally took action. He quickly stretched out his hand to press the paper for Old Man Hua. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Master, just write: A hundred generations of time are good today, and the eternal country is new today!"
"A hundred generations of time are good today, and the ancient country is new today?" Old Man Hua muttered silently at first, then suddenly raised his head, looked at Xiao Han with bright eyes, and asked: "Why did you think of writing this? Isn't your momentum too strong? You are a little kid Young Lord Marquis, would you go out of your way to do this?"
As if he had known that he would ask this question, Xiao Han bit his lip and said to Old Man Hua in a very firm tone: "Master, that's it, this is my expectation for this world!"
"Okay!" Old Man Hua didn't know why Xiao Han was so strange today. He stared at him for a long time, but out of his inexplicable trust in Xiao Han, he finally stopped saying anything more and closed his eyes to write the words in his mind. After writing it silently, he leaned over and started writing.
The old man writes with great momentum, his pen moves quickly and smoothly, and a couplet is completed in an instant!
Looking at the red paper, every word is written vigorously and powerfully, and the whole couplet looks extremely chic! Even Xiao Han, whose handwriting is extremely ugly, can see the extraordinary momentum in these words!
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Xiao Han and Old Man Hua were looking at it carefully with their heads lowered, but unexpectedly someone in the room suddenly cheered loudly!
The unexpected applause almost frightened Old Man Hua so much that he threw away the pen in his hand. When he looked angrily, he saw that he was staring blankly and kept clapping his hands...
Xiaodong was already hopeless. When he saw Mr. Hou and Master Hou looking at each other angrily, he quickly moved to the side so as not to hurt innocent people later. At the same time, he thought to himself: You can't even recognize the word "bangchui". , what's the fuss about at this time?
Sure enough, as Xiaodong expected, in the blink of an eye, the poor idiot was beaten several times by the unscrupulous master and apprentice, and he squatted aside with tears in his eyes, licking his wounds...
On the other hand, Xiao Han and Old Man Hua, who were refreshed and refreshed after the beating, even high-fived each other in harmony, which made Xiaodong almost laugh out loud.
But thanks to the idiot, the atmosphere has calmed down, and Xiaodong no longer has to act like a fool. He quickly gathered around and praised the couplet! As everyone knows, he can't understand the cursive script written by the old man...but this doesn't affect his flattery! Flattery is also a skill, isn't it? Only by saying the right words at the right time can you get the best results. Otherwise, the idiot with shoe marks will serve as a warning to others!
Next, he ordered someone to boil the paste and stick the couplet neatly on the pillar at the door. Xiao Han stood at the door and stared at them for a long time, until Xiaodong helped him put on his coat and suddenly woke up.
Tightening his collar, Xiao Han murmured and opened his mouth, as if to himself or to others: "It's the New Year, this can be considered a new beginning!
Goodbye, the old me!
Datang, please let me add a little bit of my own color to your light! "
The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and the spring breeze brings warmth to Tusu!
Xiao Han, who has been a native of the Tang Dynasty for half a year, never knew that the nobles of the Sui and Tang Dynasties could not spend the New Year at home! He actually wanted to spend time with the emperor in the palace! This is simply overtime! The kind that doesn’t give overtime pay!
Walking into the palace with a dark face, Xiao Han couldn't help but quietly asked Chai Shao next to him: Why would a young viscount like himself come to participate in such a thing? I just watched it myself, everyone here is wearing scarlet and purple, and he is the only one in green robe, serving as a foil?
But is it green leaves to accompany red flowers or red flowers to accompany green leaves?
Unlike Xiao Han, who had a grimace on his face, Chai Shaole could hardly find his eyes. He pulled Xiao Han towards the main hall in front and said, "Be content! No one else can ask for this kind of thing. You've got such a good deal, and you've been given this great honor. Look at your face, you look like you've suffered a loss! You'll make me happy later. It's Chinese New Year, so don't make yourself unhappy!"
Xiao Han kicked the small grains of sand on the stone road aggrievedly and whispered: "It's not just a loss! I worked hard all afternoon to make dumplings, and I even put several small gold leaves in them! It's a good win. , who knew you would arrest me just by sending a letter, who knows what bastard you are taking advantage of!"
Chai Shao laughed loudly and said to Xiao Han: "Haha, everyone puts two copper coins, but you also put gold leaves! Are you rich? But you are also stupid, gold is so heavy, it must be at the bottom of the pot, or not, it must be The cook is already cheap!"
"Eh? That's right! Why didn't I think of it? It's over, it's over! My gold..." Xiao Han was stunned when he heard what Chai Shao said, and then he suddenly slapped his head with a very annoyed expression!
At first, he was afraid that someone would be too desperate to eat and swallow the gold together, so he deliberately cut it bigger, but in the end he completely forgot about the weight of gold!
"Bah, bah, bah, we're celebrating the New Year. If you can't say some auspicious words, who's finished? If you talk nonsense like this again in front of His Majesty, don't worry about your head!" Chai Shao was particularly dissatisfied with Xiao Han's unrestrained words. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. , turned around and gave him a lesson!
The palace is especially lonely in winter. Although there are lights and decorations everywhere, it always seems to be defective and lifeless.
The two of them were walking in the corridor of the palace, one behind the other. Not even a eunuch could be seen around them. Chai Shao shook his head and walked for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and opened his mouth and said to Xiao Han: "Yes. Oh, I forgot to tell you that your sister-in-law is back this time too! I’ll probably see you soon! Don’t be disrespectful then! If you’re disrespectful, see how I deal with you!”
"Who??" When the dejected Xiao Han heard this, he suddenly trembled all over. He hurriedly ran to Chai Shao to stop him, and said excitedly and incoherently: "Brother Chai, what did you just say? Did you mean Pingyang? The princess is back too? How does she know about me?"
When Chai Shao mentioned Princess Pingyang, he looked tender. He slipped Xiao Hanti who was blocking the way aside and lectured: "Nonsense, how many sisters-in-law do you have? If you dare to talk nonsense again in front of Pingyang, be careful of your bad legs!"
"Hehe, yes, yes, brother is teaching me a lesson!" Xiao Han curled his neck and smiled sarcastically, "Brother hasn't said anything yet, how could Princess Pingyang know about me! You know, I admire her!"
Chai Shao was very satisfied with Xiao Han's humble appearance. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "You know your character, but you don't need to be too down on yourself. Now that we are soldiers, who doesn't know about you? Don't say I didn't tell you. As soon as you enter the room, you will know how much fame you have!"
"What's my reputation?" Xiao Han was about to ask again when he saw Chai Shao in front of him had already arrived at the palace gate. He had no choice but to stop talking and follow Chai Shao in.
Daxing Palace, later known as Tai Chi Palace!
Today's dress is very different from the past. The originally smooth and flat gold bricks were covered with a thick layer of blanket, which was so thick that it almost reached the ankles. Stepping on it, it was soft and warm, as comfortable as walking among the clouds.
Walking forward on the carpet, Xiao Han looked around curiously. He could hardly recognize that this was the place where he usually went to court!
The piles of futons in the past have disappeared, replaced by rows of low, dense, and innumerable rows. Except for the middle, almost every other place is full!
Maybe the two of them came early. There were not many people in the hall at the moment, and they were gathering in groups and whispering.
Xiao Han looked around and saw that he didn't know many people. He subconsciously wanted to go to the same place, but Chai Shao grabbed him and dragged him to greet everyone one by one.
He knew that Chai Shao was introducing his colleagues to him. After all, being an official was never a matter of working alone. This thing was all about intricate connections. This way, if something happened, people would be wary and not dare to touch you easily!
However, Xiao Han has never been interested in this. It can also be said that he hates this kind of bureaucratic atmosphere! In later generations, it has become normal to find someone to do things, but as an orphan, Xiao Han, who has never had anyone to look for him, can only cry out in vain, so he has developed a habit of hating this situation.
Besides, once the emperor and his courtiers came to power, it was hard to say how many of these people would be able to stay when Xiao Lizi came to power. If he wanted to curry favor, he would also have to curry favor with Changsun Wuji and the others!
Thinking of Changsun Wuji, Xiao Han immediately thought of the man holding two big mountain-cutting axes, standing in the middle of the road and shouting: "I drove this road, I planted this tree. If you want to get through this, stay and buy." Lu Cai's sturdy man!
After this year, he will join another one: Qin Shubao, Qin Shubao and Qin Qiong, who are famous friends and countless unknown friends! Xiao Han has high expectations from the bottom of his heart for these two famous figures whom he has heard about since childhood!
