Chapter 467 A Bumpkin Is a Bumpkin
Yan Shirong said with a smile: "My grandson is actually a little nervous today. My grandson has only been studying for three years, and his knowledge is shallow... Today, Uncle Six and I met many young talents, and my grandson was almost humiliated. "
Emperor Ming Pei said: "Oh?"
Yan Shirong smiled and said: "Mu Yi said that in the spring of the next year, he invited me to go out and fight wine with flowers and hairpins. At that time, my mind was blank, and only "Li Bai's Hundred Poems on Wine Fighting" was in my mind. I caught a glimpse of the cantaloupe on the table, and suddenly remembered..."
Emperor Ming Pei laughed.
These illiterate Xinbao didn't understand at all.
Yan Shirong explained to them with a smile.
There are many references to Doujiu, such as Doujiu Baipian, and Doujiu Shijian, but in fact, the allusion used by Li Muyi comes from Shuanggan Doujiu, which literally means two tangerines and one Doujiu. After that, it refers to Youchun.
This is really a joke that literati like. Even if it is explained, a few illiterates will not find it funny at all.
Several people chatted and laughed, and Yan Shirong glanced at the third brother.
Yan Shichang received the signal.
But Hanhan didn't know what to say on this occasion, but he was not too afraid of Emperor Ming Pei, so he said honestly: "Grandson thinks it's pretty good, it's very lively, especially there is a dance, I don't know What kind of dance is it called? Although the dancer is a woman, my grandson thinks the movements when turning the side are very good, and can be used in martial arts and body skills. My grandson wants to go back and tell the master that I can try it."
Emperor Ming Pei smiled, but did not speak.
The fourth brother didn't quite know what to say at this time, he just said: "Grandson thinks everything is very good, everything is a grand event that grandson has never seen." He paused: "Everything is very good."
Emperor Ming Pei raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Sheng'er has something to say, just say it."
Yan Shisheng was at a loss for words, Yan Qingshan said: "Yeah, since you said it, you can say it."
Yan Shisheng said: "The grandson just thinks that some places are a little bit wasteful."
Emperor Ming Pei said: "Oh?"
Yan Shisheng said: "In fact, at first, my grandson was just enjoying the music and dance, but later, when it came to the episode of Yuwu, there were dozens of dancers. The dancers in the middle couldn't perform well, and their movements were small. The dance is beautiful and beautiful, and the sleeves are very beautiful. The grandson doesn't know what the dance should be like, but the grandson just thinks, why can't there be fewer people? If there are fewer people, wouldn't everyone be able to have everyone's beauty? "
"Afterwards, my grandson became a little distracted. Later, for the dance, dozens of cowhide drums were newly made. They were so huge that they couldn't beat a few times for a dance. Why did they have to make new ones? Their clothes were so vast and simple. It’s an ancient dance, so wouldn’t it be more appropriate to use old drums? My grandson is a philistine, and what he thinks in his heart is not something elegant, so his grandson thought, it’s forbidden to kill cattle at will, and one cow can be sold for two Thirty taels of silver, much more expensive than a horse, how much is this? Where did the old drum go..."
Emperor Ming Pei nodded to him with a smile, and he couldn't help talking more and more.
The Fifth Prince and others listened behind.
The fifth prince secretly mocked in his heart.
So let's just say, a bumpkin is a bumpkin, even if he recognizes his ancestors and returns to his clan, he still looks poor! ! Going to the state banquet to count these three melons and two dates, what a cow! ! a horse! ! Twenty or thirty taels of silver? ?
Ah! Ah! It's ridiculous!
He didn't dare to show anything on his face, he only met the fifth prince's concubine's eyes, both of them were amused.
After Yan Shisheng finished speaking, he said embarrassingly: "Grandson has little knowledge, grandson understands that sometimes, some appearances are necessary, but grandson thinks..."
He paused: "For example, in the past, when distinguished guests came to visit us in the countryside, we would try our best to wear the best clothes, and even borrow a few decent furniture and utensils to decorate the appearance. This is not a waste of money, but If the vegetables in the courtyard are uprooted to the ground and paved with green bricks to welcome guests, even if only one vegetable is pulled out, it will be a waste of money, because vegetables are useful."
He was a little embarrassed: "The grandson doesn't understand poetry and books, and he can't speak, but that's what he means."
The fifth prince's concubine covered her mouth with a handkerchief, covered her smile, and exchanged glances with the fifth prince, thinking that he was really poor and pitiful, so she said this to the emperor? ?
Emperor Ming Pei usually only sees Yan Shifan and Yan Shirong, but he really didn't talk to the young ones very much. Today, when he heard it suddenly, this child is young, and he really has something to say.
Emperor Ming Pei smiled and encouraged: "Sheng'er is good, you can see things in your eyes. Next year, you can manage the inner mansion."
Yan Shisheng was taken aback for a moment, then got up anxiously and said, "Yes. My grandson obeys the order."
The snickering of the fifth prince and concubine froze at the same time, both of them were dumbfounded.
This result, they really never expected.
The inner mansion mentioned by Emperor Ming Pei refers to the inner mansion yamen, which manages the internal affairs of the royal family. There are four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve supervisors. Most of them are eunuchs, but the officials in charge are not. The former second prince and the third prince also managed it. Regardless of whether you are fat or not, basically all the servants in the entire palace have to greet you with a smile.
An extremely useful errand indeed! ! Why did it fall on such a bumpkin? ?
Emperor Mingpei sighed and said: "Sheng'er's words today have reached my heart. The accumulation of small things becomes a river, like this drum. You also said that the folks are twenty or thirty taels, but you go to check the accounts. At least two or three hundred taels must be reported! Here, how many are spent on drums, and how many are in the pockets of layers of personnel? I have long wanted to take care of these rat moths, and I have never freed up. If Sheng'er is gone, feel free to do it, I will support you!"
Yan Shisheng saluted again: "Thank you, grandson."
Emperor Ming Pei nodded.
The twins looked at each other.
They were not very old, and because of family affairs, they were late to enlightenment, so they said very bluntly: "Grandson has no idea, just think...that duck tongue soup is delicious!"
Then in Emperor Ming Pei's arms, Xinbao sat up straight all of a sudden, as if you said this, then I won't be sleepy: "That steamed fish is the most delicious!"
"The bear's paw is still delicious!"
“The golden bergamot rolls are delicious!”
The three of them argued fiercely which dish was more delicious, and the discussion was in full swing.
Emperor Ming Pei laughed and didn't stop him.
Xinbao was greedy for what he said, and swallowed his saliva: "Yeah, Xinbao wants to eat fish."
"No." Emperor Ming Pei patted her belly: "Feel it yourself, is there still room for fish?"
Xinbao touched it by himself and thought for a while: "Squeeze."
"No, I can't squeeze in," Emperor Ming Pei said, "I have to eat dumplings later."
Xinbao can only give up regretfully.
Brother Wu cleverly changed the subject: "There was a dance, and the tape of that dance flew all over my face, and it danced as high as it was flying! Look so good!"
"That pipa can really be carried behind my back!"
Sure enough, Xinbao was taken away: "The third lady on the right of the neon dress dance looks so good!!"
"The dancer who stomped, the one near me looks like brother Xiao Yuan!!"
The three of them had another heated discussion.
Yan Qingshan coughed, and the three gradually stopped.
Then everyone turned their heads to look at Liu Bajiu.
Don't talk about others, the second brother is quite looking forward to it. What he says at this time can clearly see his thoughts and character. Even if he doesn't say excuses, even the twins have said it, why don't they say it?
Either he has a deep mind and really has an idea, or he is not smart, and he can also see things.
