Without Cheng Yaojin to stir things up, the drinking was tepid. The three of them drank slowly and chatted until about one o'clock in the afternoon before they became a little tipsy.
Seeing Wang Zi'an getting a little drunk and starting to talk lively, Li Junxian asked tentatively.
"Have you ever heard of the strange news that happened in Chang'an City yesterday?"
"What anecdote?"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but look over curiously.
In this era where there is no Internet, no mobile phones, and no Internet access, Wang Zi'an's own passion for gossip has long been uncontrollable.
"Yesterday, Duke Su and the young masters from the British Duke's mansion received a mysterious calligraphy and painting. It is said that it contains a set of peerless martial arts secrets and methods of exerting force..."
As Li Junxian spoke, he secretly looked at Wang Zi'an's expression.
As the commander-in-chief of Baiqi, how could this matter be hidden from his eyes and ears? Especially when brothers Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chuliang pulled two large carts of gifts and headed straight out of Dongcheng.
If there are any hermit masters in Dongcheng, this Wang Zi'an is definitely one of them!
He now strongly doubted that the calligraphy was written by Wang Zi'an.
Is your city of Chang'an that small?
I'll just leave you with a homework assignment to sort out those few things, so that they can be spread to your ears?
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard it, and he was complaining crazily in his heart.
People in the Tang Dynasty were still too lonely.
This little bit of nonsense can be spread everywhere.
Later, if I give you a monthly magazine or something, you won’t be able to max it out?
Hey, this seems like a really good idea.
Cultivate a group of writers, let them write jokes for themselves every day, and become a screenwriter or something, so as to enrich their life in the Tang Dynasty.
When the time comes, Geng will no longer be whipped. If he dares to stop Geng, give him a song to express his ambition!
After Li Junxian finished speaking, he was waiting for Wang Zi'an's reaction. When he looked up, he found that hey - this man was distracted!
When Li Junxian said this, Li Shimin immediately reacted.
Yesterday afternoon, Qin Shubao personally sent someone to ask for leave, saying that he wanted to learn some martial arts and seek a breakthrough.
At that time, I was very happy for him for a while, thinking that Datang would have another top-notch general.
Could it be because I got that mysterious writing frame?
"I also remembered what you said. It seems that there is such a thing. I heard that the Duke of Ji, Qin Shubao, has personally verified it. The news is very likely to be true. The Duke of Su's house even celebrated it. Woolen cloth……"
Wang Zi’an:……
Is it such a big fuss?
You can't even say that if you kill him!
If Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin knew that they had been tricked, would they turn their anger on themselves?
Although I estimate that I can beat them to the ground, but if the people don't fight with the officials, I can't cause trouble for myself.
When you have free time, wouldn't you like to find some new fun in your life in the Tang Dynasty?
For example, as I just thought of, start a weekly magazine for yourself.
"Never heard of it, never heard of it-"
Prince An's head shook like a rattle, and he couldn't admit it even to death.
Anyway, the words are there, realize it yourself!
It has nothing to do with my money!
Seeing Wang Zi'an denying it so simply, Li Shimin and Li Junxian couldn't help but look at each other.
There seems to be something going on!
Those words couldn't really have been written by this brat.
Come on, don't ask him. Let's go back to Cheng Yaojin's place and see for yourself. What kind of magical calligraphy and painting is it that can convince such a group of martial arts masters? If it is true, I can also take advantage of the opportunity.
Of course they didn't know that what convinced Qin Shubao and other first-class generals was not that word, but Li Siwen, Cheng Chumo, and Cheng Chuliang, these three scammers!
Seeing that he was almost done drinking, Wang Zian put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Lao Li, do you have anything to do this afternoon? Come with me for a walk. I'll introduce you to a big shot..."
But don't, I'm afraid of big shots!
Li Shimin complained in his heart, if I meet a big shot, I will most likely be exposed.
"What the hell, you're still afraid of meeting big shots—"
Wang Zi'an patted Li Shimin's shoulder encouragingly.
"Don't be afraid. At least you have some connection with the royal family. Don't be so worthless. What's there to be afraid of as an official? You're not just the same with two eyes and one mouth. Go, go, go - I'm here. …”
I just have never participated in such an occasion, and I feel a little guilty.
Wang Zi'an complained in his heart and pulled Li Shimin out with half support and half support.
"No - Zian, who are we going to meet now?"
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Li Shimin had no choice but to give up struggling. He pulled Wang Zi'an's arm around him and asked helplessly.
"Have you heard of Kong Yingda? He is a very knowledgeable man. It is said that alcohol is still taboo in the Imperial College - that old man is quite easy to talk to. After you get to know him this time, if any of your juniors want to go to school, you can make arrangements with him -"
I'm afraid you don't know, but he is one of our children's tutors!
Li Shimin complained in his heart, but he could only smile and nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, okay-"
After Li Shimin finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Li Junxian.
"Dalang, go back and tell your family that I'm going to attend a banquet at Kongji Restaurant today and I won't be going back -"
On this trip, if we don't prepare an ambush in advance, Mr. Kong Yingda's pedantic temper will most likely be exposed.
Li Junxian understood it and disappeared in a flash.
"Is this little plum a dog? He runs quite fast——"
Wang Zi'an, who was already three-thirds drunk, looked at Li Junxian's disappearing back and couldn't help but joke.
Li Shimin:...
The two people got on Li Shimin's carriage one after another and sat facing each other.
Wang Zi'an pointed to the shaft of the car.
"Old Li, why are you so dazed? Ahead, drive - don't look at me, I really don't know how to drive a carriage. Back then, our coach only taught us sideways and slopes, and didn't teach us how to drive this thing. Son..."
This is the real purpose of dragging me to the banquet!
Li Shimin complained in his heart, so he had to get out of the car again and climb onto the shaft of the car, and waved the riding crop resignedly.
When the carriage started, he quickly tightened his collar, pulled up his hat, and protected half of his face - all the people passing by were powerful people, but he couldn't be recognized.
This was the first time I entered Lao Li's carriage.
Wang Zi'an looked at the furnishings inside Li Shimin's carriage and couldn't help feeling a little envious. This car looks ordinary from the outside, but there is something else going on inside, with all kinds of low-key luxury and connotations.
Not to mention the exquisite workmanship inside this carriage, there is also a very exquisite and high-end tea set and exquisite pastries.
This old boy is indeed a smuggler who runs outside the customs. He is quite rich and knows how to enjoy himself.
Wang Zi'an then picked up a piece of pastry and threw it into his mouth.
Hmm - it's not bad, but the taste is a little inferior, but in this era, it should be considered top-notch.
Forget it, Datang has this condition, so don’t dislike it, just make do with it.
