Chapter Fifteen
Li Linfu immediately sat at the main seat and said: "This is just a family banquet. I have neglected everyone. Please forgive me."
After a wink, the fair-looking eunuch-like man behind him directed his men to serve the food.
It was said to be a family banquet, but the food and wine were brought out like a stream of water. "Chopped slices of Tianchi scales and eight delicacies of land and water" were all rare and foreign objects in the world. Compared with the state banquet hosted by Li Longji that day, they were more than enough and not lacking.
Tang Chao cursed in his heart, you old boy, you are just so extravagant for a family banquet, what if it is a formal banquet?
I was not polite at the moment, and I ate and drank to my heart's content. I really wanted to bring my old friends Zhuer, Dadu, etc. together, but it's a pity that they have been separated for thousands of years.
During the banquet, the three of them said some kind words and toasted to Li Linfu respectively. However, after saying these words, Li Linfu immediately stopped talking and only focused on eating. The three of them looked at their faces and looked at their faces, but they also ate with their heads down and did not dare to say a word.
After drinking for three rounds, Li Linfu touched his belly, which had been eaten like an elephant, and suddenly said: "Haha, Mr. Tang's appearance is extraordinary, and he must be proficient in poetry and prose?"
Although this sentence was very abrupt, the Tang Dynasty quickly replied: "The young man was promoted by the eldest princess and the prime minister to enter such a noble mansion. I am grateful in my heart. But when it comes to poetry, there are ministers and prime ministers here."
Lord He Zhizhang, is this young boy really a shameless person?"
On the surface, these words are modest, but in fact they are throwing a hot potato to He Zhizhang. He thought, you are a small Imperial Academy master, but you have not received the support of powerful people. I want you to show your face! At the same time, I am secretly happy.
, don’t embarrass yourself, this is called killing two birds with one stone.
When Li Linfu heard this, he looked at He Zhizhang and said: "Since the Tang Dynasty masters say that Mr. He has poetic talent, then you can make a poem for us to hear the truth, and then listen to the masterpieces of the Tang Dynasty masters?"
"
He Zhizhang knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he pretended to decline it, and plucked up his energy to compose a poem: "Now is the early spring season, so I will write a willow poem." He pointed to the willows outside the door, "The jasper is made up into a tree high, and ten thousand branches are hanging down."
Green silk ribbon, I don’t know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors!”
After reciting, everyone in the house laughed, and the Tang Dynasty was even more impressed with admiration. This is the real poet. He rises up every year, is not limited to things, and writes poems out of his mouth. He brings to life the willow trees that are sprouting in the courtyard.
, there is a fresh and joyful style, which immediately enlivened the banquet atmosphere.
Li Linfu knew that his official position was humble and he had always looked down upon him. As soon as he wrote this poem, he couldn't help but think to himself that this old boy is not bad, but he just doesn't know how to adapt. When he is old, he will still be a master of the Hanlin Academy. He said: "What a good guy."
I don’t know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors, good!”
The Tang Dynasty was even more sincere in admiration. He raised his glass and said: "This poem is excellent. It should come to light. Come on, I would like to congratulate you!"
Li Linfu saw the hint of madness in Tang Chao's words and was furious. You were so dissolute while drinking in my house. If you don't punish him properly, it would appear that I, Mr. Li, are incompetent. He squinted and asked him to toast He Zhizhang.
.
When He Zhizhang saw that someone appreciated him, he was very happy and drank three glasses of wine in an instant.
Zhang Jiazheng had already noticed Li Linfu's unkind expression and did not dare to drink or pick up food. Li Linfu also stopped drinking and watched the two perform.
After three drinks, Tang Chao felt that the two people were watching him and He Zhizhang drinking. He felt a little bad. He smiled and raised his glass and said: "Master Zhang, Li Chenxiang, why don't you drink? Come on, I'll give you a drink?"
"
As he raised his glass and wanted to drink it, he suddenly saw Zhang Jiazheng and Li Linfu's expressionless faces. He was shocked and said, "Li Chenxiang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Jiazheng was so worried that he quietly stepped on him under the table with a very anxious look in his eyes.
Tang Chao felt even more strange. Just when he didn't know what to say, Li Linfu said with a smile: "It's nothing, Master Tang. I'm already too drunk, so I have to drink tea instead of wine!"
As he spoke, he picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip, looking very kind.
Oops, half way through the glass of wine in Tang Chao's hand, he suddenly thought of the words in history: Li Linfu was a man of words, and if he was nice to someone, he would treat him with a smile, but if he was harsh to someone,
That means he is not malicious towards you.
But he is so obedient. Now, he is smiling at me. Could it be that he already has the intention of harming me?
Thinking of this, he spurted out a mouthful of wine, which coincidentally hit Li Linfu's fair attendant. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He rushed forward and wiped the water from his body with his sleeves.
.
The attendant hurriedly said: "Master Tang, it's nothing, you don't have to do this!" With a slight shake, the water on his body dispersed like clouds, and there was not even a trace of water stains left on his clothes.
Tang Chao was shocked and praised: "Good work!"
The follower said respectfully: "Thank you, sir. I'm in a humble position and have low martial arts skills. You deserve the award!"
Li Linfu smiled slightly: "Liang Shang, when Mr. Tang is around in the future, you must not show off your kung fu. Did you know that Mr. Tang is also an expert?"
"Yes!" Liang Shang replied respectfully.
Tang Chao hurriedly said: "The Prime Minister has misunderstood. In fact, the boy's meridians have been greatly damaged. He can't practice any martial arts. I'm not an expert. I'm just talking casually."
Li Linfu was doubtful and said: "Haha, Mr. Tang is really refreshing. How about this? Mr. He has already shown his hand just now. Now it is Mr. Tang's turn?"
The conversation changed, and I thought, hum, look at how capable you are, how dare you show the madness of a young man in front of your true self, aren't you living impatiently?
Tang Chao knew that he couldn't hide what was coming, so he had to say: "Young man, please don't laugh at me when you make some nonsense. I have invented a style of writing called a tune, which can be sung. Although it is a bit vulgar, it can be sung."
The boy is already humble, so he has no choice but to show off his ugliness! This piece was specially composed for Mr. Li, so please forgive me if it doesn’t make sense."
When Li Linfu and He Zhizhang heard this, their ears perked up: I really can't believe that this kid, who is less than twenty years old, can actually start a sect and create his own thing called music. They said in unison: "Master Tang, please!
"I really want to hear what kind of creation method the Tang Dynasty used.
Hearing what he said in his heart, Li Linfu felt a lot of hostility disappear. Since it was written specifically for his true appearance, he should listen to it.
I heard Tang Chao clear his throat and chant in a manly voice: "Spring has just arrived now, so I named it "Happy Spring is Coming". Goldfish and jade belts with Luolan buckles, soap-covered red banners and five nobles. The judgment of mountains and rivers is on the tip of my pen. Proud Autumn,
Divide the emperor's worries."
"Wonderful!"
Everyone was silent. Looking at Li Linfu's face, it took him a long time to say it. Everyone dared to say yes and praised him one after another.
When everyone stopped praising, Li Linfu smiled and said: "Master Tang, this song of yours is indeed very good, but you praise me too much. Don't you dare to take it seriously?"
Tang Chao said sternly: "Why don't you take it seriously? Aren't all the big things in the world today being analyzed by the pen of the Prime Minister? The Prime Minister is now a very popular minister. Although these few sentences just said by the boy, they were a bit proud.
, but what he said is the truth, and I am worthy of it."
Zhang Jiazheng hurriedly agreed, and Li Linfu laughed loudly, feeling very proud and thinking: I originally saw this boy being arrogant and wanted to punish him, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a boy who understands officialdom and is very respectful to his true self. Since the eldest princess and Han
Xiu Du had already said it, but I couldn't ignore their kindness, so I immediately said: "Master Tang, thank you for taking the true form so seriously. From tomorrow morning, you will be the Huangmen's servant. If there is anything you don't understand, Zhang Aiqing, you can
Teach him more!"
"Yes!" Zhang Jiazheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect that the ministers would assign him such a big thing.
Tang Chao didn't expect that things would happen so suddenly and a little unexpectedly: "Me, me tomorrow?"
Li Linfu laughed and said: "Boy, do you think there are still many procedures that have not been completed, and you think that the truth is false? Let me tell you, no, I said you will become the Huangmen Minister tomorrow, it will not be wrong!
"
As he spoke, the attendant named Liang Shang walked into the back hall.
Chapter completed!
