"These are called Spring Festival couplets. They are similar in nature to the peach charms that everyone hangs. They are posted on the door frame during the Chinese New Year. Why don't you think it looks very festive to put these on?"
As Wang Zi'an spoke, he happily asked everyone to sit down, and then turned around and asked the old butler Gu Zhong to notify the kitchen to serve food.
"Festival?"
All the big guys couldn't help but look at each other. They were stunned for a long time before nodding in confusion. I originally thought it was some secret ritual taught by the disciples of the Xian family, but I didn’t expect the truth to be this!
"Don't tell me, just put this on, it's booming, it's really festive -"
Li Yuan twirled his beard and thought for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
"The meaning of these Spring Festival couplets is indeed quite auspicious, and it makes people feel comfortable just looking at it - Zian, you are good at handwriting. Please write a few for me later. I will have someone post them to my bedroom later..."
The Spring Festival couplets written by my little brother are very interesting, and Li Yuan is happy to join in the fun.
Anyway, it’s just a Spring Festival couplet, and it has a good meaning. It looks festive, so why not follow it?
What's more, Wang Zi'an might not be really a descendant of the Immortal family. What if there are other benefits that he doesn't know about?
He has also figured out the taste recently. Follow Wang Zi'an and you won't suffer any loss!
"Me too, me too..."
When Li Shimin saw that his father had spoken, he quickly followed suit.
The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were so supportive, and naturally the others were not to be far behind. What's more, who in Chang'an doesn't know that the Marquis of Chang'an, Wang Zi'an, is a master of both poetry and calligraphy and painting.
When it comes to calligraphy, it is unprecedented and surpasses the right army.
If you could just write back a word, wouldn't that make you a lot of money?
As a result, Wang Zi'an was instantly surrounded by a group of old men.
Wang Zi’an:……
"Writing Spring Festival couplets is just for auspiciousness and excitement. The red letters and black letters have a meaning. None of you can't write, so you are just joining in the fun-"
With a helpless look on his face, Wang Zi'an pushed these old men down on his seat one by one, and spread his hands with a wry smile.
"Besides, it's unrealistic for so many people to ask me to write. Otherwise, I still have a lot of red paper. Later, I will arrange for the accountant at home to write one for everyone?"
Everyone rolled their eyes in unison.
Do we want Spring Festival couplets?
What we want is your words!
But when Wang Zi'an said this, everyone felt slightly embarrassed.
Wang Zi'an is not a calligrapher on the street, he is a being beyond the master of calligraphy. It is indeed a bit inappropriate to let people sit at home and write Spring Festival couplets for themselves.
"All of you are scholars, who can't write? What are you doing here to join in the fun? Especially you, Bachelor Ouyang, Secretary Yu, both of you are famous calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty, masters of a fortune. , why are you causing trouble with everyone - Zian, don't worry about them, no one needs to write to them - well, just write to the Supreme Emperor and me..."
Cheng Yaojin ignored everyone's crazy eye rolls and glanced around with a proud look.
"Do you have any objections? It's useless to have any objections. This is my son-in-law..."
Everyone:…
Li Shimin suddenly wanted to kick him. This old man Cheng, not only stealing his son-in-law from him, but also showing off in front of him every day, couldn't be too much.
Not only did Li Shimin want to kick him, many old men also wanted to, and they all laughed and scolded him. As a result, they were so generous and didn't care, and everyone was dumbfounded.
But after Cheng Yaojin did this, the atmosphere in the greenhouse became joyful.
While a group of people were chatting and laughing, they saw a young man in Tsing Yi hurried over to report.
"To report to the Marquis, Duke Wei Chi Jingde of the State of Wu came to visit. He said that the magic weapon specially made for the Marquis has been completed and was specially sent here -"
When Wang Zi'an heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He subconsciously glanced at Qin Shubao sitting beside him and raised his voice.
"Please come quickly——"
Not only because he built a magical weapon for himself, but also because this was the door god he liked to stick to in his previous life. The most coincidental thing was that he came to the door right after he posted it on his door today - this coincidence gave him an inexplicable feeling of absurdity and confusion.
Tsk, plus Qin Shubao who came to the door a long time ago, today, the left and right doorkeepers in my house are all alive, and they are alive!
This was the door god who had been posted on the door for many years in his previous life. At this point in time, they were all gathered in his home. This feeling made him feel novel and weird at the same time.
It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone. Otherwise, if I take a photo with the two door gods and post it to Moments, I won't be the most beautiful kid during the New Year?
In order to pay tribute to his previous life, the host Wang Zi'an stood up and greeted him for a while.
Upon hearing that Yuchi Jingde had forged the weapon, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel curious, got up and followed him out. He also wanted to see what kind of magical weapon this weapon that caused Prince An so much trouble was.
As soon as Li Shimin got up, it was difficult for the others to continue sitting, but it was not appropriate to get up rashly and follow Li Shimin out, so they could only laugh and find excuses for themselves.
"Wu Guogong personally crafted a magical weapon. How can it be taken for granted? I have to go and broaden my horizons——"
"Yes, yes, yes, you must not miss this matter..."
"do not miss it--"
"Me too——"
"..."
Good guy, everything is up and down.
Li Yuan:......
Looking around, he and Zhang Jieyu were the only ones left. He snorted angrily, put the tea cup on the table, flicked his sleeves, and stood up.
"Forget it, I will also go and see what kind of magical weapon it is that deserves everyone's attention-"
Li Yuan is going, who dares to stand in the way?
One by one, they quickly moved out of the way and got behind him.
Li Shimin did the same. He quickly stepped aside and reached out to hold Li Yuan's arm.
"Your Majesty, please slow down, I'll help you -"
Li Yuan glanced at Li Shimin who was carefully accompanying him, snorted softly, but did not continue to embarrass him and walked straight to Wang Zi'an.
"Let's go, I'll go with you to see what the blacksmith's skills are like -"
Blacksmith...
Everyone couldn't help but silently wiped the sweat in their hearts. They all looked at their noses and noses, not daring to take a breath.
Li Shimin also smiled bitterly in his heart, not daring to reveal any clues.
It was obvious that even though several years had passed since the incident, his father was still grudges and resented his confidant.
The front yard of the Marquis' Mansion in Chang'an.
Yuchi Jingde, who was carrying Fang Tian's painted halberd and five Miao knives on his back, was walking towards the living room under the guidance of the concierge. It's not that the concierges and stewards at Wang Zi'an's residence are negligent, the main reason is that Fang Tian's painted halberd is a bit heavy, and it's a bit difficult for the house stewards to resist it.
Therefore, Yuchi Jingde was too lazy to let them get their hands on it and just carried it himself.
This Fangtian painted halberd has extraordinary materials and he has put his own efforts into it. It definitely deserves the title of a magical weapon.
The purpose of his visit in person today was of course not just to deliver weapons. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better to ask the servants at home to ask his son to deliver them?
He wanted to see how powerful this Fang Tian Hua Ji, which he struggled to use, could be in Wang Zi'an's hands.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard chaotic footsteps in the distance.
He couldn't help but turned his head in surprise.
After just one glance, he took a deep breath.
Good fellow, the Emperor is in the middle, His Majesty is supporting you on the left, and Prince An is on the right. Behind him are Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Xiaogong, Qin Shubao, and even the highly respected prince's young master Li Gang, college student Ouyang Xun, Imperial Academy Jijiu Kong Yingda and other leading scholars.
If you pay more attention, you can still see Wei Zheng, the Secretary and Supervisor, Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Fang Xuanling, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Sun Wuji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel...
This lineup not only flattered him, but also frightened him.
Although he claims to have outstanding achievements and is unparalleled in the world, when did he become so famous?
The strangest thing is that the Supreme Emperor came out to welcome him...
Really, really——
He was just a little stupid.
Carrying the Miao Dao and the long Fangtian Painted Halberd, it is impossible to advance or retreat.
In terms of everyone in the Tang Dynasty, who he least wanted to see now was none other than the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan.
no way.
I have a grudge against others for killing my son and being under house arrest.
The most important thing is that he is still the father of His Majesty, and he has not been able to eradicate the root cause, which is very embarrassing.
The most embarrassing thing is that these days, I feel like I have bumped into Xie, and I still bump into him at every turn!
No, I closed the door to thank guests and didn't go out for several days. On the first day I went out, I bumped into him again.
This Chang'an Marquis Mansion is really evil.
Although he was troubled in his heart, his basic rationality was still there. He quickly took two steps, hugged Fang Tian's painted halberd and bowed deeply.
"The humble minister Wei Chi Jingde attended the meeting of the Supreme Emperor and paid his respects to the Supreme Emperor——"
He now knew that His Majesty was playing a trick with Wang Zi'an, so he didn't dare to break it. He just gave Li Shimin a cryptic look:
Why is the Supreme Emperor here?
Li Shimin secretly glanced back at him:
Brother, wish yourself well.
Seeing Yuchi bending down to salute respectfully, Li Yuan glanced at him coldly and stopped.
"I have long heard that General Yuchi is good at blacksmithing and is a skilled blacksmith——"
Yuchi Jingde:...
If anyone dared to mention this to him in public, he would slap him in the face, but since this was the Supreme Emperor, he could only nod his head in frustration and said in a muffled voice.
"I dare not say that I am good at it, but I think I have never hidden Master Ou Yezi's skills——"
"It turns out that General Yuchi is also the successor of Ou Yezi. It's really unexpected. Your Majesty today is really confused. It's a waste of talent for such a good craftsman not to forge iron -"
Li Shimin:...
He secretly gave Yuchi Gong an apologetic look.
Yuchi Gong:......
Your Majesty, I do understand your difficulties. It’s okay to suffer a little grievance for your sake, but you can at least say something for me and let me straighten up first.
Just now, in order to show respect for the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty, he held the Fangtian Painted Halberd horizontally.
You know, the weight of this thing is really heavy, ninety-nine and eighty-one pounds!
Carrying it alone or on its shoulders is of course no problem, but his posture at this time is a bit awkward, with his waist bent and saluting.
This ninety-nine and eighty-pound Fang Tian painted halberd was completely pressed against his arms and waist.
Just for a moment, I already felt that my arms were stiff and my waist and knees were sore.
If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll make a fool of yourself on the spot.
However, the Supreme Emperor was deliberately embarrassed and did not mention the problem that made him get up, but just rambled on.
Many people have naturally noticed the subtleties, but who is willing to wade into this muddy water?
Not only was no one willing, many people also wanted to watch the joke.
The main thing is that since the Xuanwu Sect was established, Yuchi Gong has claimed to be the first in meritorious service, and no one cares about him. He has become an arrogant and disgusted person by quarreling whomever he catches. At this time, everyone is happy to watch his jokes.
