Crossing the Datang Restaurant

Rong Yushu raised his head unobtrusively, and looked at the person who came, Princess Chengyang, this princess is already considered the luckiest princess, according to her age, she is about the same size as the emperor. Delicate and charming, unlike those concubines in the harem, they are dressed in a lifeless manner. Although they have married two husbands, their faces are still exquisite. They are wearing a gold thread and jade dress, and the luxurious jewels on the top of their heads are shining like pearls. This piece of brilliant peach blossoms is too much to set off her, and the graceful and luxurious peony must be used to set off her.

Apart from Princess Chengyang, the protagonist this time, there are several other people, even several ministers sitting below with their family members, said a few official formulas, and waved their hands, letting go of their freedom.

The main purpose of appreciating the spring feast is to promote the relationship between the officials, and the main purpose is to have fun, and the appreciation of poems is the second.

At this time in the Tang Dynasty, the status of poetry had already begun to take shape. Among them, the halftime sideshow, which was also an item that everyone was eager to try, was the drinking order.

When the interest in the venue was high, Princess Chengyang suddenly smiled and said to the Minister of Rites next to her, "Shang Shu Zeng, since the interest is the highest now, why don't we order some drinking orders?"

Zeng Shangshu's figure is slightly fatter, and his face is full of blessings. Except for a flash of shrewdness in his eyes from time to time, everyone probably ignores such a person.

Smiling and nodding, said: "Of course, I wonder if the princess has any good suggestions?"

Princess Chengyang was condescending, and swept away the eyes and expressions of the people below, without exception, they all looked expectant, the corners of her mouth could not help but a slight smile, and said loudly to the servants below: "Bring it up. "

Rong Yushu was wondering what it was, but found that several people brought up a small flower drum, tied with red silk and satin on the shelf, and flowers, plants, fish and insects were painted on the surface of the drum, which was extraordinarily delicate.

There was a bad premonition, this could not be drumming to pass flowers.

Sure enough, Princess Chengyang got up, walked to the nearby peach tree, picked the most blooming peach blossom from it, walked to the spot, smiled at Zeng Shangshu, and said: "This is a new idea I came up with. One way, I order the drummer to beat a tune, cover his eyes, if the drum stops, whose hand is this flower in, how about he come up and write a poem?"

Although Rong Yushu felt that this method was outrageous, but in the newly emerging Tang Dynasty, especially when it was proposed by Princess Chengyang, it immediately aroused the interest of the people around, and they all started flattering the princess, saying What a great idea.

Zeng Shangshu was also a little interested. Although in the past, there was also a poetry meeting in the Spring Festival Banquet, but most of them were a bit old-fashioned and boring. Whatever the topic, why not ask the princess to decide on one."

There was a sly smile on Princess Chengyang's face, she looked a bit playful, she smiled slightly and said: "If the topic is settled now, how boring it would be, why not just wait for the flowers to reach someone's hands , how about I say it again?"

Zeng Shangshu was stunned, and the people below were also stunned, including the officials and officials below. "The princess is really powerful, so it's decided, let's start."

Rong Yushu didn't know what kind of mood the people below were in, but his heart was so cool, the princess was ruthless in this move, she glanced down, most likely it was some elegant temperament, the people below hit I can tell what I'm thinking at a glance, but if I want to get her praise, it will take a lot of work. Look at the officials on the right hand side, how many officials with their families, some of them are still ladies who I know well, with faces Most of them have the appearance of watching a good show.

Tang Guang sat next to him, with his head not tilted, but his body was slightly tilted, and his voice was very low, but it was enough to reach Rong Yushu's ears: "If one of Tang Siqing and I gets it later, you will replace it for me." Stand up and write poetry, do you hear me?"

Rong Yushu turned his head with a face full of surprise, and said, "Can it still be like this?"

Tang Guang gave him a blank look, and said in a distressed tone, "Otherwise, why would I bring you here, you idiot?"

Princess Chengyang seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and began to talk about the rules beside her, saying: "Of course, if you adults receive this flower, there are three ways, one is to drink this jar of wine obediently, and the other is to drink it." One is to find someone to write poetry for you, of course, there is another way to do it yourself.”

The person next to him lifted up a table, and Rong Yushu's eyes opened slightly, thinking that it wasn't really poisonous, a jug of wine wasn't much, probably more than a catty.hehe.

However, Princess Chengyang made a special mention that a person can only have one chance to compose a poem, if he is drawn again later, besides finding someone else, he can only consider himself unlucky.

Rong Yushu's heart faintly rose with a little excitement, and his mood boiled a little. His intuition told him that it would be fun later.

An entertainer in a pink and blue costume came up, with a pink silk scarf covering his eyes, he couldn't see what was going on below, and he held a hammer in one hand. After Princess Chengyang said a word to start, When the artist tapped, the sound of the drum beat was like summer rain falling on a banana leaf, and the big beads and small beads fell on the jade plate, with a hint of crispness, and a leisurely and happy tune came.

Princess Chengyang took her time and handed it to Zeng Shangshu who was next to her. The latter also had a peaceful expression on her face. After passing it on, the place is of course very clear. Starting from the left hand side, those sitting on the right hand side are all female relatives. Most people use it to watch the excitement.

The sound of the drum was fresh and pleasant, and it was transmitted in the shape of a snake. When it reached Tang Lintang Siqing, the drum sound had a beat. Rong Yushu yelled in his heart that it was not good. Turned around beautifully, stopped, and the first unlucky egg was freshly baked.

Rong Yushu's heartbeat suddenly deepened. He didn't know whether it was luck or unlucky. Tang Lin didn't expect this result. He was a little dazed when he got the gorgeous peach blossom in his hand, but he still stood up and saluted the princess with a smile. , Said: "If you are old and not talented, you will get peach blossoms."

For this fifty-five-year-old man who knows the destiny, even Princess Chengyang would not dare to do anything wrong. She lives in Dali Temple, she is almost a saint, and she is also the most trusted person of the elder brother. She sat up straight, with a faint smile on her face. , put away the teasing heart, and was more serious, and said sincerely: "Tang Siqing was joking, I don't know which one Tang Siqing chose?"

The moment Tang Lin turned his head, Rong Yushu's heart almost jumped, but seeing a trace of inquiry in Tang Lin's eyes, Rong Yushu remained calm, and the expression on his face became more and more calm. The appearance was refined, the wind was calm, and he gritted his teeth and gave Master Tang Lin a reassuring look. The latter understood, and said to the princess: "I am old and not talented, and I think this poetry meeting is the world of these young people." So, how about asking this old man from the next generation to write a poem?"

Seeing Tang Lin turning his head to pick it up, the princess almost set her eyes on the young man behind. Well, his face looked a little immature, but judging by his temperament, he was calm and calm, calm and natural. , although I don't know how talented he is, but with this appearance and temperament, at least he can add some points to him.

Seeing Rong Yushu standing up, Princess Chengyang glanced around with searching eyes, and suddenly smiled, "Where are you from?"

Rong Yushu clasped his hands respectfully and bowed, saying: "The late student is from Luoyang. His surname is Rong, his name is Yushu, and his style name is Wenyu."

People from Luoyang?Princess Chengyang didn't know what to think of, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said: "I heard that Luoyang's peony is famous all over the world, isn't it?"

Hearing this question, Rong Yushu felt inexplicably relieved, thinking that the topic might be about peonies, his voice became lighter and clearer, and he replied: "Wan Sheng thought that the peonies in Luoyang could be used as peonies." Can it be graceful and luxurious, gorgeous but not vulgar, soft but not flattering, it is the beauty of the country."

"Oh?" Princess Chengyang raised her voice slightly, she didn't seem to take it seriously, but she was very interested in what Rong Yushu said, and said: "According to what you said, this peony can really be the king of flowers? "

Rong Yushu couldn't figure out what the words of Princess Chengyang meant, and the people around her couldn't figure out the princess' temper, so they didn't dare to speculate.

A smile appeared on the corner of Princess Chengyang's mouth, she picked up a wine glass, took a sip in her mouth, and said: "It just so happens that I also need to add a few new flowers to the garden in my mansion, since the peony you mentioned is so magical, help me How about choosing a breed?"

Rong Yushu dared to say that it was not good, thought for a while, and replied: "If it can match the princess's outstanding demeanor, it should belong to Wei Zi among Luoyang peonies. The flowers are full, and the shape is unique among peonies."

Princess Chengyang smiled, not knowing which sentence caught her heart, and replied: "Since you think Peony is worthy of my identity, then write a poem, and it must also be worthy of my identity. If I feel bad, then it’s not the wine, there’s a bucket of wine there, let’s drink it.”

A bucket of wine is three catties, seeing the whispers of the people on the field, Rong Yushu is not afraid, and smiles slightly, the people on the field seem to be confident.

In fact, Rong Yushu thought this way in his heart: Damn, the flattering is on the horse's legs. It is not difficult for you to ask him to write a poem. The problem is to make it meet the princess's wishes. This is another problem. Rong Yushu thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and searched in his mind for a moment.

"The rich and the noble and the romantic are waiting for you, and the flowers bow their heads to worship the fragrant dust.

The painting fence is embroidered with red jade, and the clouds and brocades are covered with green jade.

The sky has all kinds of powers, and there is no color in the country for neighbors.

Famous flowers are also difficult to cultivate, and it takes a lot of work to make tens of thousands of springs. "

Silently expressed some apologies to the predecessors in my heart, I was forced to be helpless, no wonder, anyway, this kind of banquet is mostly improvised, and the people on the field just listen to it, as long as no one writes it down, it will not be spread. go down.

When Princess Chengyang heard it for the first time, her eyes lit up, but she didn't express any opinion, instead she turned the right to speak to Zeng Shangshu next to her, saying: "What does Shangshu Zeng think of this poem?"

Zeng Shangshu said for a moment: "This..." I don't know what the princess means by this, does it mean that the poems written by the late students are good or not?All kinds of thoughts flashed in my heart, and I asked the people below: "What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Originally, this was not a difficult problem, but when they pushed it back and forth, they shot at the bird, and no one responded for a while.

When Princess Chengyang saw this scene, the smile on her face remained the same, but a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Such a trivial matter caused these people to blame each other, and no one came out to speak. Seeing the big from the small, if in the later Tang Dynasty, all these people were officials in the court, wouldn't there be even a single person to express their opinions?

Tang Lin suddenly laughed and said: "What is written in this poem, if you haven't seen the peony with your own eyes, then you have to think about it, and you can't forget it for a long time."

Princess Chengyang put her eyes on Rong Yushu, who smiled lightly and said: "The late-born poems are immature, and I dare not compare them with the literati on the field. They just express what they think in their hearts."

There was a smile on his face, and he said: "I think it's pretty good, the literary talent is brilliant, and I will give you wine."

Giving wine and punishing wine have different meanings. The former is a reward, while the latter is a punishment. From the face point of view, there is a difference. Pick up the wine brought by the maid, drink it in one gulp, kneel down to thank you, and the game continues.

Because the former made a good start, the pressure on the people behind was a bit high, and at the same time, they also knew that Princess Chengyang was not just the royal princess in name.
