Chapter 32: During the Spring Festival in Chang'an City, Li Yuanji made it difficult
32 . During the Spring Festival in Chang'an City, Li Yuanji made it difficult
Last time, he said
Meet Kong Yingda for the first time
Li Pojun took the word Wenhan
Li Pojun doesn't seem to be so idle every day after apprenticeship with Kong Yingda, and he goes to Confucius Mansion to study and practice martial arts at home every other day, and he is a good baby.
Soon, in Li Pojun's expectation, the Spring Festival arrived early, of course, at this time, it was not called the Spring Festival, but the Sui rite was called the Yuan Day, and Li Shimin didn't seem to have such a thing to do these days, just drinking and feasting at home all day long.
Soon on the first day, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Pojun wore gorgeous Luo clothes, and as Li Shimin and his wife arrived at the Tang Mansion, Li Pojun was surprised to find that the entire Li family was there, Li Yuanan sat on the main seat, and Li Pojun also knew quite a few people, including Li Shentong, Li Daozong, Li Xiaogong and other side uncles, of course, Li Chengxun, Li Chengzong and other brothers.
At this time, Li Yuan spoke. "It's the Yuan Festival, and I, the Li family, gather together to ............." chattered and said a bunch of gorgeous words, nothing more than to welcome the festival, thank the ancestors, wish the Li family more prosperity, and so on, and finally bowed to the palace to thank the emperor for his grace. This made the corners of Li Pojun's mouth twitch, "Grandpa, you are the biggest minister, the little emperor has been set up by you, and now he is still pretending." Of course, Li Pojun didn't dare to say these words.
With Li Yuan's order, the banquet was opened, and the wine and food were passed on like flowing water with the maid, and then the mother's eldest grandson Wujian said in his ear: "Tiger slave, don't be sleepy, when the banquet is going to be tonight, when you go to say a few auspicious words to your grandfather, and you will drink Tusu wine later."
When Li Pojun heard it, he was a little flustered and couldn't sleep, he knew that this was the custom of "keeping the year" that would be passed down to future generations, after all, he also spent two Spring Festivals in Datang, but the last few times he went to bed early when he was still young.
But what is this Tusu wine, it seems to be a custom wine, I don't know what it is Li Pojun, why do you want to drink this, why didn't you have it last few times, is it too small? It should be, I am enlightened at the age of three this year, so I should be able to drink this Tusu wine.
Li Pojun didn't ask much, anyway, he was going to drink it in a while, he just didn't eat dinner, so he slowly ate some minced meat and drank some fruit wine, this fruit brew is sweet and sour is also good.
Li Yuan's father and son are staggered with Li Shentong and Li Xiaogong, and they are so unhappy, and Li Chengdao and Li Chengxun are just like Li Pojun, snuggling up to their mothers to eat and drink.
At this time, the butler of Tang Wang's Mansion came up quietly, went to Li Yuan's side and said, "Master, the time is up, Tu Su wine is also ready, do you want to present it?"
When Li Yuan heard this, he raised his eyebrows, "Oh, ready?" It's time to drink Tu Su again" After speaking, he was full of interest, obviously in a good mood. Nonsense, this year, he was beautiful, promoted to the Tang king, and was a very popular minister, can he not be happy.
Stood up and clapped his hands and said: "It's time to drink Tu Su again, this Tu Su wine, drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, can protect the safety and health of my family, has always been the youngest to drink first, last year was drunk by the Taoist family Qilin'er, this year my Hu'er Po Jun is also three years old, and he is also enrolled in enlightenment, so ah, this year's Tu Su wine should be drunk by Po Jun first."
When everyone heard this, they also smiled happily and responded: "Yes", "It should be so", "It should be so", "The tiger slave should drink first".
The eldest grandson Wujian pulled Li Pojun to attend, bowed to Li Yuan, took the Tusu wine on the waiter's plate and gave it to Li Pojun, Li Pojun was dazed, and then his mother, the eldest grandson Wujian, said in his ear: "This Tusu wine was drunk by the youngest in the family, you were too young to drink, but this year's enlightenment is to drink, rest assured, it's the same as fruit wine."
Li Pojun understood as soon as he heard it, it turned out to be this custom, of course he was not afraid of drinking, and he didn't know how much he drank in his previous life.
He didn't know that this "Tu Su" was a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which was made by mixing several medicinal materials such as rhubarb, atractylodes, and bellflower. It is said that drinking this wine can drive away evil spirits, detoxify and prolong life.
The Sui and Tang dynasties had a very interesting habit of drinking this kind of wine, that is, they had to drink it first from the youngest child in the family. The reason is said to be that "the younger one gets the old age, and the old one loses the old age, so he drinks later".
Li Pojun didn't delve into it, raised the yellow glass of wine, and bowed to Li Yuan.
"Thank you, grandpa" is not suitable to say the congratulatory speech at this time, the congratulatory speech should be said when the child is over, and Li Pojun knows this.
I was just thinking about drinking it all, but someone interrupted.
"Little nephew and slow".
When Li Pojun saw it, it turned out to be the ugly yellow wax-faced third uncle Li Yuanji, and Li Pojun couldn't help frowning.
After attracting everyone's attention, Li Yuanji seemed to enjoy this feeling.
"Father, the tiger slave is my tiger, the name of the prodigy spreads all over the Guannei, why not let the tiger slave compose poems to help the fun, of course, if the tiger slave can't make it, it doesn't matter, after all, it's so young." Speaking can be described as mean and scathing.
It is said that this Li Yuanji has been getting closer and closer to Li Jiancheng recently, and I heard that it has been targeted at Li Shimin many times, but fortunately, this guy does not accept Li Yuan's favor, and even Li Yuan hates it, but he has a bit of status because of Li Yuan's sister-in-law.
For Li Shimin, the key is that the family gathering on Chinese New Year's Eve is a place of happy gathering, but it is aimed at a small child, you must know that it is also a pleasure for children to drink Tusu, it is a blessed good thing, but to block, it is not authentic to be a person, so Li Jiancheng can't do such a thing, sure enough, Li Jiancheng also frowned secretly.
When everyone heard this, although they felt that it was a little inappropriate for children to drink Tu Su, it was not easy to say anything.
Li Yuan is also a well-thought-out person, and he understood it as soon as he heard it, his face was gloomy, and the fights between the brothers were brought to the family banquet, and they were also aimed at a child. You must know that the big family will not suppress the children unless it is absolutely necessary, especially the children with qualifications, after all, this is the future of the family and the foundation of a family's prosperity.
But this occasion should also be angry, after all, what Li Yuanji has done has nothing to say on the surface, and it can even be regarded as an elder who is studying for the school entrance examination.
"Well, what Yuan Ji said is also true, on this good day, the tiger slave is talented but can be given a poem." Li Yuan, who was helpless, set his eyes on Li Pojun with hope and appreciation.
Li Shimin and his wife looked at Li Pojun with worried faces, if they couldn't do it, they would lose their face, and even involve Li Pojun's reputation, the sentence "After all, at such a young age" is very vicious, if you can't write it, you can even attack the previous poems for plagiarism, then Li Pojun will be spurned by the literary world, you must know that scribes are not easy to offend.
Li Pojun didn't react much when he heard this, making it difficult for him to compose poems is also called making it difficult, is he still afraid that he will not have poems from later generations, anyway, he has plagiarized so much, and there is not much burden on his psychology, and it is also a theft twice if he steals once.
Li Pojun smiled slightly at Li Shimin and his wife, reassuring Li Shimin and his wife, Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wujian was relieved when he saw Li Pojun's confident appearance. This kid has always been clever and should be fine.
smiled confidently and bowed to Li Yuan: "Since grandpa has a life, the tiger slave will sacrifice his ugliness and compose a poem to help the elders."
The little adult's back hand made Li Xiuning laugh for a while, and only Li Xiuning was not afraid of anyone, as the only daughter, she was deeply loved by Li Yuan, and Li Yuan felt guilty about Chai Shao's marriage, and she loved her very much, and Li Jiancheng's brothers also respected this sister very much.
paced and walked seven or eight steps, just as Li Yuanji's shallow childish ridicule was about to start, Li Pojun spoke up.
"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one. ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Pojun drank all the Tu Su wine in the cup and put it on the plate, bowed to Li Yuan and returned to his mother in a dashing manner, leaving only a dashing and domineering back for others, Li Pojun found that he liked to pretend to be 13 more and more.
But at this time, Li Pojun had a bitter saying, the Tusu wine is really unpalatable, bitter and astringent like traditional Chinese medicine, nonsense, after all, it is soaked in a variety of traditional Chinese medicines, can it not be bitter.
But Li Pojun still smiled mysteriously and returned to his seat.
At this time, everyone reacted, they were all full of poetry and books, and they naturally knew the goods, and they praised it one after another.
Li Daozong: "Good, good poetry"
Li Shentong : "God, a masterpiece is worthy of being my prodigy tiger"
Li XX: "The tiger slave is really talented, congratulations to Erlang for winning this Lin'er."
…………
The hall was full of praise, Li Shimin and his wife were also happy, and Li Yuan was also happily twisting his beard.
"Good, good poetry, Hu Nu is talented, in the future, you should learn from Confucius seriously, and you must not slack off." Li Pojun obediently agreed.
There was a burst of laughter, the smell of wine, singing and dancing, and soon it was time for the traditional custom of New Year's greetings.
Again, starting from the youngest and the youngest.
Li Pojun walked up calmly, "Grandson wishes grandpa eternal happiness, longevity and heaven, domination of the world, thousands of years" and finally added a sentence "Happy New Year, everything is fine".
This super sycophant greetings and modern old-fashioned blessings made everyone stunned for a while, and when everyone reacted, it was a burst of praise, of course, some people secretly complained that "this sycophant is really ......"
Li Yuan began to be flustered. After reacting, he carefully considered the words, and was very happy in his heart, this is the eternal blessing of immortals, and it is not exactly what he wants in his heart to dominate the world.
praised a few words happily, and gave Li Pojun the personal jade pendant, which is the New Year's money.
It made some people blush.
Soon it was over. It's time for the dinner to end. Each went back to his own house, and each found his own mother.
The next day was another joyful atmosphere,
It was another firecracker, and it was a banquet to eat, but Li Pojun was tired.
Day by day, the Lantern Festival is also passing quickly, Li Pojun guessed the lantern riddle all night, but there was another big limelight, just kidding, after the later generations of the Internet melting pot exercise, all kinds of jokes are familiar, how can a little lantern riddle be stumped, which makes the name of the Li family's Xiaolangjun prodigy even worse. At the same time, the poem "Yuan Ri" was also widely praised.
Time passed day by day, the lively atmosphere of the Spring Festival has passed, on the contrary, the atmosphere of the Li family is becoming more and more tense, Li Pojun counts the days, it should be not far from Li Yuan's seizure of the throne and the day of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Pojun was excited, he was finally coming, and he was finally going to start this big show.
Datang, the Datang of dreams, the dreamy Datang is finally going to see it born with your own eyes.
Soon, this day that Li Pojun is looking forward to infinitely will come.
