As the saying goes, if you don't eat, you won't eat in vain, and if you eat, you won't eat in vain.
Li Chengqian and Changle vividly demonstrated the essence of learning in Zhaojiazhuang.
That day, there were so many people in Zhuangzi who ate half of the piece, and the remaining half was eaten by the two of them.
I really couldn't eat the remaining half.
It's not that they can't eat it, but because the cake is too big.
After eating, I didn't forget to burp, patted my belly, and said, "Father, Queen, and Queen, we are so full!"
Seeing the appearance of his two children, Li Er smiled.
Being able to eat is a blessing, which means that the prince and Chang Le will be blessed in the future.
This cake cannot be kept for a long time, so Li Er asked someone to bring a large number of plates and chopsticks, cut them all into small pieces, and sent them to the harem for the other concubines to taste.
As the saying goes, if the food is very small, only a few people can eat it. If there is a lot of food, the other concubines cannot be forgotten.
Seeing how much of such a good thing was eaten by the two of them, Li Chengqian and Chang Le didn't forget to wipe their mouths. It smelled so good.
If I go to Zhaojiazhuang next time, I will ask Uncle Zhao to arrange a cake for me again. Why does this cake taste so delicious? After finishing the affairs of the harem, Li Er returned to Tai Chi Hall and started to get busy again.
Fortunately, I am celebrating the New Year, the court has already taken annual leave, and I am not particularly busy.
The previous memorials have been reviewed and approved, and there are still some scattered ones left. I am not particularly busy, and it is also a rare rest time for myself.
After reviewing and approving today's memorial, Li Er remembered what happened in Zhaojiazhuang.
He also asked someone to get red paper, cut it into long strips, put the red paper on the table, and thought for a while.
With a stroke of the pen, a couplet was written.
Li Er smiled when he saw the couplet he wrote.
I asked someone to put the things aside, brought me paper and pen, and started writing. I finished the second and third pictures in one go. The more I wrote, the more I felt. I finished 20 pictures, and my hand was a little sore from writing.
He also asked someone to bring in a square piece of red paper that had been cut, and wrote more than 10 large Chinese characters "福" in the middle.
He is also planning to put them up in all the palaces in the palace, so as to add a bit of New Year's atmosphere to the palace.
"I have met His Majesty!"
Just as Li Er was writing furiously, Changsun Wuji rushed in.
After sending His Majesty back today, I returned to Zhao Guogong's Mansion.
I still heard the Queen's call, came to the palace, and went to the harem to chat with the Queen.
I left the harem and came to the Tai Chi Hall, wanting to see what His Majesty was doing.
When I first arrived at Tai Chi Hall, I only saw the Spring Festival couplets put aside.
I didn't expect that His Majesty saw Mr. Zhao making these things in Zhaojiazhuang yesterday, and he had already started to imitate them as soon as he returned to Chang'an City.
Seeing His Majesty imitating it, his grandson Wuji also thought for a moment.
Can I go back to the mansion, ask someone to get red paper, write and post it?
"Auxiliary machine, what brings you here today?"
Uh-huh.
"Your Majesty is the Queen. Your Majesty has invited Wei Chen to come to the palace to chat about some domestic matters.
After the minister finished chatting, he came to Tai Chi Hall to greet His Majesty.
If your Majesty is fine, I will go back first!"
Li Er glanced at him and asked.
"Auxiliary machine, since you are here, how about taking a look at these couplets I wrote?"
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and took a look.
Half of these couplets were written by Mr. Zhao from Zhaojiazhuang. Your Majesty is a blatant plagiarist.
However, plagiarism requires the ability to plagiarize. Just like if they had not gone to Zhaojiazhuang, they would not have known that there was such a thing as Spring Festival couplets.
There is also the word "Fu" written by His Majesty, which is magnificent and majestic, making people feel that everyone is capable.
After thinking about it again, the little boy rolled his eyes and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask your Majesty to give me some Spring Festival couplets."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Li Er burst out laughing.
"If you like any one, just take it yourself. I will also give you a few of these blessing words!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!
"After getting along with His Majesty, since His Majesty wanted a reward, I couldn't refuse it. After saying a word of thanks, I started to step forward and selected a few paintings that I thought were the best. I folded them and put them in my clothes.
Then he went forward and picked up a few "Fu" characters, and put them into his clothes with a smile. Your Majesty is quite interesting!
On the contrary, Li Er's old face couldn't help but tremble.
What he had worked so hard to write was half taken away by his auxiliary machine?
That's all, this auxiliary machine has done a lot for his hard work, so just take it and treat it as a reward for him.
At this moment, Wang De rushed in.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty's old servant has sent people to gather together all the palaces according to your wishes.
This is the total number that needs to be posted in our palace, please check it!"
"What?"
Li Er was stunned when he saw this number.
By the way, when did our royal palace have so many palaces?
His Majesty?
"That's all, let's do some statistics again. This time we only count the harem and these palaces.
Others are not included."
"It's your Majesty. I'll go and make arrangements right now."
Seeing Wang De leaving, Changsun Wuji also knew what His Majesty meant by doing this. He rolled his eyes again, smiled, and saluted.
"Your Majesty, after seeing this, I have an immature idea. I wonder if I should report it to Your Majesty?"
"Auxiliary machine, it's okay if you just say so!"
"Your Majesty, do you want to earn some money?"
What's the meaning?
"Your Majesty, today is only the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, and there are still two days left before the Chinese New Year.
Your Majesty can personally write blessings and Spring Festival couplets in the Tai Chi Hall during these two days.
The minister can personally go to the homes of Wang and Sun ministers on behalf of His Majesty to deliver blessings and Spring Festival couplets.
Of course, these spring couplets written with blessings are also your majesty's care for our ministers.
It's just that the new year is approaching, and His Majesty still works hard to send blessings and Spring Festival couplets. We ministers must be considerate of Your Majesty, right?
The blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets also require some polishing fees, and Wei Chen thinks 10 taels of silver is just right!"
Li Er's eyes widened and he looked at Changsun Wuji in front of him with an uncertain expression.
It is said that this is the prime minister of the current dynasty, his brother-in-law, the majestic Zhao Guogong, one person is inferior to ten thousand people.
When did this person become so obsessed with money?
Li Er sighed helplessly, could this be the loss of morality?
However, what his eldest son Wuji said reminded Li Er.
In the meantime, Li Er coughed lightly, and the two hit it off immediately. This method is quite good, why not give it a try?
It's just that Duke Zhao Guogong just took several pairs of Spring Festival couplets and added the word "blessing" to him?
Your Majesty's Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were not counted as gifts from Your Majesty to the humble minister just now.
you are vicious......
If you want to try it, then give it a try.
He also asked someone to fetch a large amount of red paper, cut it out, and wrote the couplets with the words "Fu" on them himself.
There were quite a lot of pairs, and I finished dozens of them casually.
Only this time, Li Er stamped his own seal under each piece, proving that it was written by the current Holy Emperor himself.
Including the lower right corner of each word "福", all are arranged.
This is a privilege. After seeing so many things written in the book, Changsun Wuji asked people to pack up all these things, followed him, left the palace, and began to go to other ministers' homes to promote it!
