That night, Li Xian came as promised and saw in the luxurious hall that two brothers, Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi, had been waiting for a long time. Behind their brothers, sitting Wu Shun, He Lan Minzhi, He Lan Minyue and their mother and son (daughter)
) of the three, there was only one vacant seat below He Lan Minzhi, which seemed to be reserved for Li Xian.
"Humph, although my aunt has a distinguished status, she only has the title of a Korean lady, and her status is equivalent to that of an ordinary Duke. She doesn't know etiquette so much, so that's fine. After all, she is an elder, and it's okay to sit still.
But what about Helan Minzhi's brothers and sisters? Helan Minzhi is just a playboy. He was awarded the sixth-grade Thousand Bulls Bodyguard because of his grandmother's favor. Helan Minyue is just relying on his face to please his father.
I have just been given the title of Lady of the State of Wei, but you are so ignorant of the heaven and earth. If something like this lasts for a long time, it is unreasonable."
Seeing that the mother and son were so careless and disrespectful, Li Xian was very dissatisfied. But now that Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi were here, he couldn't get angry in public. It was not to give face to the Wu brothers, but to save face.
Taking the opportunity to sow discord between the two parties, at least not let them get mixed up. Otherwise, the combined power of these people will be a big threat to themselves, especially Wu Shun and his daughter, who served Emperor Gaozong day and night.
, what if Gao Zong tried to slander himself at some critical moment, wouldn't he be in trouble?
What's more, the real planer is to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, so that he can profit from it. How can he go into battle naked at the beginning of the fight? This is not in line with someone's usual cunning style.
Therefore, Li Xian showed an expression of turning a blind eye, smiled and saluted the mother and son, and said: "My nephew Li Xian has met my aunt. The younger brother saw his allergic cousin, cousin Min Yue. After not seeing each other for several days, my cousin became more and more beautiful.
As the wind blows, my cousin becomes more and more beautiful. She is really like a fish out of sight, a woman shy of a moonlight. She can charm a city with a smile, and a country with a smile again. "
Although Helan Minyue didn't want to see Li Xian, she couldn't help but feel elated after hearing Li Xian's boast. She said with a smile: "You little devil, I haven't seen you for many days, but you have learned to be so smooth-tongued. This is a fish that sinks and a goose falls, and the moon is closed."
Where does the shameful flower come from? Where does a smile lead a city, and a smile can lead a country? Let my brother and heir think twice about learning from them. Isn’t it a good idea?"
"Ah? Oops, I told you this allusion in advance. I had no choice but to muddle through." Although Li Xian secretly complained in his heart, he also acted very indifferently and said with a smile: "This is a fish that sinks and a goose falls, and the moon is shy of the flower."
It describes the four great beauties in ancient times. The so-called sinking fish refers to Xi Shi, a Yue girl in the Spring and Autumn Period. Legend has it that Xi Shi once washed her yarn by the stream. The fish in the stream saw her beauty and felt ashamed, so they sank to the bottom of the stream;
The legend of falling geese comes from the beautiful queen Zhaojun of the Han Dynasty. When Zhaojun came out of the fortress, the geese in the sky saw her beauty, felt ashamed, and fell into the yellow sand one after another."
"I know these two allusions, but who is the flower that is shy of the moon?" After all, Wu Shun has read a lot of books and knows some allusions. He still has an impression of the legend of Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun, but the flower that is shy of the moon is
She racked her brains, but she still couldn't figure out which historical figure it was?
"Guanyue is talking about Diao Chan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty..."
"Wait a minute, there was a figure like Diao Chan in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty? How could I not know?" Wu Shun immediately interrupted Li Xian, and then said: "What is the identity of this woman? Is she the concubine of a certain emperor? Or is she a certain eminent person?
The daughter of an eunuch?"
"Huh? How come my aunt doesn't even know this?" Li Xian couldn't help but said weirdly: "That Diao Chan was originally a singer of Situ Wang Yun in the late Han Dynasty. She was extremely beautiful. Because of her beauty, the moon on the horizon was ashamed to avoid it, so she was called Guanyue, and later Wang Yunxian
A series of plots to make Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turn against each other, get rid of his wife, and later marry the hero Lu Bu as his concubine. This was a major event in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, how could my aunt not know about it?"
In fact, how did Li Xian know? Although this incident is mentioned in the history books, the history books do not record the person Diao Chan. It was not the Ming Dynasty at that time, and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" had not yet been written, so there is no name Diao Chan in history.
"It turned out to be the person who used clever tricks to make Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo turn against each other. This person could not only seduce Dong Zhuo and Lü Bu to turn against each other, but he could also be regarded as a peerless beauty. Even if this allusion is correct, where did that shameless beauty come from?"
Wu Shun smiled faintly and asked again.
"This." Li Xian felt even more bitter when he heard this question, because he had forgotten that Yang Yuhuan, the owner of the allusion of "Shame Flower", would not be born until decades later. He had no choice but to make it up at random.
"Who are we going to make up? My aunt seems to be familiar with historical figures. If she finds a loophole in me, things will be difficult to handle. Huh? Yes."
Li Xian's eyes lit up, he looked at Helan Minyue who was standing not far away, and said with a smile: "I heard that one day my cousin was admiring flowers in the imperial garden. Because my cousin was so beautiful, even the flowers in the garden were ashamed.
And quietly closing it, this is the so-called shy flower."
"Haha, you little devil has a sweet mouth. It turns out that you are trying to please me in a roundabout way. That's all. You don't need to say anything, mother. You've passed the test. But sister, I want to hear your care.
The classic of the human city."
"This damn girl is so unwilling to give up. I just complimented you casually, but you actually took it seriously with a mallet." Li Xian cursed secretly in his heart, but in order to sow discord between his mother and son and the Wu brothers.
Because of the relationship, I had no choice but to gather my energy and continue: "Hey, to be honest with you, sister, these are a few lines of poetry that I made up after I met my sister. The poem says, there is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. Her smile can captivate people.
Let’s smile again and conquer the country.”
"Good poetry. I never thought that Xian'er's poems could be so wonderful at such a young age. Chengsi, think twice, you have been outclassed. You should learn more from Xian'er in the future." Wu Shun is a man who knows his stuff.
, upon hearing these lines of Li Xian's poem, his eyes couldn't help but shine, and he was so impressed that he praised it without even waiting for Helan Minyue to speak.
Seeing Li Xian constantly praising her, He Lan Minyue felt very proud. The more she looked at Li Xian, the more she liked her. However, the more she looked at Wu Chengsi brothers, the more bored she became. She simply moved Li Xian's cushion in front of her and said with a smile.
: "Xian'er, come to Sister. Haha, Xian'er is smart and studious. He is indeed the holy dragon species. He is not like some naughty people who just rely on the protection of their ancestors to idle around and have no knowledge or skills. Let me tell you.
, there is no need to tell the right and wrong about this matter today. The boy from the Wu family has gone too far and has lost the face of His Majesty. Xian'er has just started to teach him a lesson. You should apologize to Xian'er and promise to change your ways in the future. If you don't change after repeated admonitions in the future.
, just send it to Bingzhou."
Brother Wu Chengsi's expressions changed immediately after hearing this, but now that they had something to ask for, they could only swallow their anger and said with a sly smile: "What my sister said is true. Today, my brother borrowed a banquet from his aunt to come here to apologize to Qilang.
A glass of thin wine is not disrespectful. I hope Qilang can forgive me. In the future, my brother will definitely change his mind and be a new man, and will never embarrass the Holy Master and my aunt again."
After finishing speaking, Wu Chengsi took a wine cup and poured a glass of wine for Li Xian himself. Then he picked up another wine cup, poured a glass of wine as well, and then respectfully handed the previous cup of wine to Li Xian with both hands.
In front of Li Xian, waiting for Li Xian's response.
But he saw that Li Xian did not take the wine cup, but smiled faintly, picked up the cup of wine that Wu Chengsi poured, and then said with a smile: "Cousin, how inconvenient is it to pour your hands back and forth? Why don't I just use it directly?
How about the rest of the cup, each of my brothers drinks a full cup of wine, and then the matter for today is settled?"
"Ah? This..." Wu Chengsi didn't expect that the other party would suddenly make this request. He couldn't help being startled, and then he smiled and said: "The cup in Brother Yu's hand is a toast. Qi Lang should accept the respect. If he drinks the remaining wine from Brother Yu's cup,
, how can Brother Yu live in his heart?"
"Haha, you don't have to be so polite. You and I are close relatives. How can we be respectful? This glass of wine only means one thing. There is nothing that I can't live with. I will drink this glass of wine first. If the eldest brother feels that he can't live with it, it will be regarded as the younger brother's insistence.
That's it. Brother, please." After Li Xian finished speaking, he raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother, it's your turn next." Li Xian shook the empty wine cup at Wu Chengsi, and then said with a smile.
"Well, since my dear brother insists on doing this, I have no choice but to obey my order. I hope my dear brother will not think that my brother is disrespectful." After Wu Chengsi finished speaking, he raised the wine cup and was about to drink it, but he didn't know whether he didn't stand firm or not.
What happened? He suddenly lost his center of gravity, and the wine cup in his hand fell straight to the ground.
Unexpectedly, Li Xian on the side had quick eyes and quick hands. He grabbed the wine cup in his hand, handed it to Wu Chengsi gently, and then said with a smile: "It's lucky that I have quick eyes and quick hands, otherwise a glass of fine wine would be wasted like this. Brother, please."
"This, this." Wu Chengsi was holding a wine cup in his hand, but his face was pale, neither drinking nor drinking.
"Ah, no, my eldest brother has a chronic illness. I'm afraid I can't drink anymore." Wu Sansi reacted very quickly and quickly supported Wu Chengsi, who was shaking, and gently took the wine cup and said: "Qilang, today's meeting
I'm actually a little sorry. I didn't expect that my eldest brother would fall ill at this critical moment. I have to drink this glass of wine tomorrow. If I offend you in any way, please forgive me."
"Oh? It turns out that the eldest brother is ill. You have to be more careful." Li Xian nodded and said lightly: "It's a pity, but fortunately the second brother is also here. Since it's your two brothers,
We both express our respect at the same time, why don't we let my second brother drink this glass of wine on my behalf?"
"Ah? Hehe, hehe, you don't know something, Qilang. I don't like drinking, so I'd better forget about this glass of wine." This time it was Wu Sansi's turn to turn pale, and he quickly stepped back and smiled.
He said.
"What are you doing all this? Don't you all boast a lot about yourself on weekdays? What happened today? You actually treat this wine as poison?" Helan Minyue on the side couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, and asked quickly, in her words
He was already dissatisfied with the Wu brothers.
"To be honest, sister, there is indeed poison in this wine. It is precisely for this reason that the two martial brothers tried their best to avoid it, and no one wanted to drink it." After He Lan Minyue finished speaking, Li Xian on the side suddenly sneered.
