Chapter 476: Map of the Garden
"Garden" is a characteristic of Datang.
It is considered a graceful affair, of course, only belonging to the elite class, every New Year's Festival, Shangyuan, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, or which family celebrates birthdays, children full moon, etc., there is always the right to charter a certain garden in Chang'an, and then invite Chinese military colleagues all over the court, each with their families to play and enjoy in the garden, the scenery in the garden is set up wine and fruit banquets, there are juggling and singing and dancing in the open place, the secret stream in the forest is looking for a hidden path, and the wind and moon poems are recited by boat.
To put it bluntly, this is the high-end cocktail party of the Tang Dynasty's high society.
Li Suwei was surprised by Xu Mingzhu's proposal, for him who was lazy and tranquil, he was not interested in this so-called garden party, a group of high-ranking officials and high-ranking people were extremely bored, and wanted to find something to do, but after meeting and pondering, they found such a more boring thing......
However, this proposal was made by Xu Mingzhu.
"Okay, Mrs. Yi, hold a garden party in the Mid-Autumn Festival, our family will charter a garden, invite the elders of the eldest grandson's family, the Cheng family, the Niu family, etc., everyone will have a lively time." Li Su did not hesitate to make a decision.
It doesn't matter if you visit the garden or not, it's important to give your wife face.
Xu Mingzhu recalled Xu Jingzong's admonition just now, and saw that her husband was obedient to her words, and she felt extremely happy.
"The husband agreed, the concubine has been handling this matter in the past few days, and she must always handle it properly and thoughtfully."
"Okay, it's up to you." Li Su said with a smile: "The Qujiang Garden in Chang'an City is not small, it used to be owned by the royal family, in recent years, I heard that the restrictions have been relaxed, and many powerful ministers have covered this garden, tomorrow I will enter the city, and ask someone to wrap up the Qujiang Garden, which is a garden, and the cost is not stingy, and the flowers are open, and our family has money." ”
Xu Mingzhu said with a smile: "The flowers that should be spent, and the flowers that shouldn't be sparked don't dare to be studied." Our family's money is not blown by the wind, and there must be a number of dollars to spend, and it is always good to be beneficial without spending money, and not to be rude. ”
The husband and wife talked for a while, and since they decided to hold a garden party, they had to take it as a serious matter. The details are particularly important, for Li Su, this is also his first appearance in the Tang Dynasty elite, so the garden must not only be decently grand, but the guest list must also be organized.
Li Su's circle is not wide, and those famous generals in the dynasty naturally want to be invited, and none of them can be missed. In terms of Wenchen, the eldest grandson Wuji, Kong Yingda, Chu Suiliang, Wei Zheng, etc., naturally have to be invited, as for the royal people, Li Shimin will forget it. Li Su felt that he didn't have so much face, those princes who stayed in Chang'an. After thinking about it, I don't think it's necessary.
It doesn't matter how many civil servants and generals you invite, the friendship between colleagues, the taste of inviting the prince is different, the characters at this level are very sensitive, and I heard that the East Palace and the King of Thailand are currently competing fiercely, and the two camps will not give in to each other. Li Su didn't want to drag himself into the political whirlpool for no reason because of a garden party, a game he can't afford to play at the moment.
When the couple was discussing the guest list, Xu Mingzhu straightened up, straightened out his messy sideburns, and said casually in a normal and flat tone: "That's right." Husband, Princess Dongyang may not be able to leak, she and our family can be neighbors for many years, although now the monk, but the world knows that the monk is just a disguise, she is still a princess after all, our family runs a garden, no one can miss her, what does the husband think? ”
Li Su was suddenly embarrassed, his old face was hot, and he hurriedly glanced at Xu Mingzhu's face, but saw that Xu Mingzhu's pretty face was as calm as water, and he couldn't see the clue at all, Li Su muttered, and he didn't know if this sentence was intentional or ...... Intentionally?
Xu Mingzhu and Dongyang, although the two daughters are in the same village, but since they got married, they have never seen each other, one is the original partner of the main room of the deep house, and the other is the monk who lives in the simple house, in recent years, Xu Mingzhu followed him to Xizhou, traveling back and forth through the desert, running for his life, and there was no chance to meet, and after returning to Chang'an, the days gradually became calmer, who knew that Xu Mingzhu suddenly made this request......
Scratching his head, Li Su snorted haha and said: "Both the princess and the neighbor, I should invite her, but I am afraid that Princess Dongyang is now a monk, transcendent and out of the world, I am afraid that I don't want to participate in these mundane things......"
Xu Mingzhu blinked: "Husband knows the monk family very well? ”
"Hah!" Li Su uttered a meaningless monosyllable, then glanced out of the door, and muttered: "I drank too much water today, Xiao Xie again and again, it's really troublesome, ah, ah, ah......"
Saying that, he got up and walked out the door, the classic urine escape technique.
Xu Mingzhu sneered, grabbed Li Su's sleeve, and said, "Let's invite Her Royal Highness the Princess, the concubine believes that Her Royal Highness the Princess will definitely go......"
Li Su was curious: "Why are you so sure?" ”
Xu Mingzhu said with a smile: "The garden party is run by the concubine, and the concubine wants to enjoy the moon with her neighbors, so the husband just tells Her Royal Highness the princess that she will not refuse." ”
Li Su blinked quickly, and his brain was a mess.
"Why didn't you speak?" Xu Mingzhu blinked and was cuter than him.
"I'm a little messy ......now," Li Su rubbed his temples, sighed, and said, "That's it, let's revisit the topic of today's garden visit, okay?" Let's start by asking me if I want to have a garden party......"
Xu Mingzhu pursed her thin red lips, chuckled twice, and said very cooperatively: "Okay, then, husband, will our family hold a garden party during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
"Don't do it!"
****************************************************************
No matter how honest and docile a woman is, she has a demon side.
This is Li Su's new understanding of women.
Originally, Li Su was still wondering, why did she hold a garden party for no reason, Xu Mingzhu was not a person who loved to be in the limelight, until the end, Xu Mingzhu finally threw out her purpose, to put it simply, this garden tour is simply a Hongmen banquet for the king to see the king, maybe Xu Mingzhu has secretly gathered a hundred veterans who defected to the Li family, and on the day of the garden, everyone held a knife and axe, and ambushed under the corridor, just waiting for Mrs. Li to drop the cup......
The wind is surging, the murderous spirit is full of wilderness, the two women are looking for each other's key points with knives, what about Li Su? What should Li Su, who is the leading actor at the Hongmen banquet, do?
Dancing swords, non-stop sword dancing, cheering up the two women......
…………
"Garden? Which garden to visit? Dongyang looked at him puzzled, a pair of apricot eyes blinking.
"Whichever one, anyway, the Mid-Autumn Festival garden tour is set, my Li family pays for the goods, do you want to go? Don't go, right? Okay, if you don't go, you won't go, I'll go back and say, I won't cook your food......" Li Su spoke quickly, and after speaking, he patted his ass and left.
"Come back! Speaking clearly, headless and brainless, what the hell are you talking about? Dongyang grabbed his sleeve and didn't let him go.
Li Su looked up to the sky and sighed, what a ...... O iniquity!
"Look, I'm a marquis, great, right? The ancients said: 'Wealth does not invite guests, such as brocade clothes at night', my young new marquis wants to invite the elders and friends of Chang'an City to get together, by the way, show yourself, reasonable, right? It's better if you don't go, the scene must have been chaotic that day, there was everyone, and most of them were not qualified......"
Dongyang sneered, pinched him, and said angrily: "Who said 'Wealth does not invite guests, such as brocade clothes at night'?" ”
Li Su cocked his thumb and pointed at himself, calm: "Li Zi said." ”
Dongyang nodded: "The original words of the overlord of Chu were changed to two words, and Tian said with a face that it was his own, which is also considered a skill...... Let's be honest, you are not a person who likes to show off, and according to your outrageously lazy temperament, it is impossible to bother and spend money to hold any garden party, whose idea is it? ”
Li Su sighed: "You can't doubt me, lazy people also have vanity, why can't lazy people show off?" Who did the lazy recruit to provoke whom? ”
Dongyang stared at him carefully for a long time, and the corners of his thin lips gradually rose.
"Why did you bring it up in front of me if you didn't want me to go? If you don't say, I don't know, wouldn't it be better if there was no such thing? ”
Li Su smiled: "Yes, I came to look for you just now, maybe my brain was a little pumped...... Just when I didn't say anything. ”
Dongyang shook his head: "You are talking very strangely today, this matter is ...... You're afraid you can't help yourself, right? ”
The words paused for a moment, and Dongyang's eyes were full of understanding: "Could it be...... You invited me to visit the garden at the behest of your wife? ”
