Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Aunt Hu is very happy. Tonight's poetry meeting went very smoothly. These two excellent poems turned out to overwhelm the audience and the scholars couldn't lift their heads. This kind of good story with twists and turns will surely spread throughout Chang'an tomorrow. The name will also be caught in it, attracting countless scholars to patronize. Compared with these, a few large tanks of cheap drinks are really not worth mentioning.

The readers present were also very happy. Many of them were poor children who came here for the free drink at tonight's poetry meeting, and now that they have received so many free drinks, they were naturally overjoyed and thanked Aunt Hu sparsely. The atmosphere in the hall became lively.

Today is Qixi Eve, His Majesty Li Er made an exception and imposed a curfew. So Li Xin was not in a hurry to leave. He has been in this Tang Dynasty for so long, and he has not experienced nightlife for a long time, and he always feels a little nostalgic. Although looking back carefully, the so-called nightlife in his previous life was nothing more than staying up late to study, after all, he didn't have extra money to let him go to nightclubs like other students.

The scholars present drank wantonly, made noise wantonly, and some even stood up and danced, which made Li Xin dumbfounded. He turned to Qin Huaiyu and asked, "What are they doing?"

Qin Huaiyu frowned and drank a glass of wine, smacking his lips as if he disliked the blandness of it, then glanced at a few people dancing not far away, and said, "Dancing."

Li Xin's expression froze, he rolled his eyes and asked again: "What I'm asking is, why did they suddenly dance?"

Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Daowei strangely: "What's wrong with me, a man from the Tang Dynasty, singing and dancing?" His expression clearly said: What's the matter with you? Don't know this?

Li Xin quickly waved his hands to cover up, "It's been a long time since I went out to drink, I'm not used to it."

When Qin Huaiyu heard the words, he didn't pursue it. He looked at the happy crowd not far away, and silently shook his head.

Only then did Li Xin heave a sigh of relief, and secretly said: "It's terribly fatal. I almost forgot that after drinking, the Tang people like to drink and dance like crazy demons." According to the research of later historians, this may be after the chaos. , a new custom produced by the mixture of Hu people and Han people in the Central Plains.

In fact, the legendary "The Music of Breaking the Battle of the King of Qin" is actually the accompaniment for Li Shimin, the king of Qin, to drink and dance with the generals in his tent after his triumphant return. However, in this strange Tang Dynasty, it is a question whether "Qin Wang Breaks the Array" still exists or not.

All in all, dancing at a banquet is a common social activity for Tang people. People not only dance by themselves, but also like to pull the people around them to dance together. Most people would not refuse such an invitation, otherwise it would be seen as a form of hostility.

Naturally, Li Xin was not interested in joining this earthy twist that seemed no better than the social shakes of the later generations. He just sat silently in his seat and looked at the dancers with the mentality of watching a joke.

It seemed that Chen Youlan was seeing such a lively scene for the first time, her face was flushed, she seemed excited but also a little nervous and scared. Xiaoling leaned tightly beside Chen Youlan, as if she didn't know how to deal with such a complicated environment.

Suddenly, a drunk man came out of nowhere and wanted to hold Chen Youlan's hand, and shouted, "Brother, brother, let's dance together!"

Chen Youlan was so frightened that she hurriedly avoided Li Xin. Although Xiaoling was also very scared, she still bravely stood in front of her young lady, trying to stop the drunk man's actions.

Seeing that the drunk man was about to grab Xiaoling's hand, Li Xin stretched out his hand and pulled Chen Youlan and Xiaoling into his arms.

Although Chen Youlan and Xiaoling were both relatively petite, Li Xin himself was just a seventeen-year-old frail boy, and he was hit so hard that his chest felt tight and he grinned in pain.

The drunk man was wearing a Confucian shirt, obviously he was also a scholar who came to participate in the poetry meeting. His face was flushed, and he spoke with a bit of a tongue: "You two are great talents! I want to make friends with you! Why don't you reward me and dance with me!"

In front of my face, I want to drag my future wife to dance! Reward, reward. I reward you with a slap in the face!

Li Xin cursed in his heart. Chen Youlan and Xiaoling struggled to get up and hid behind Li Xin. They couldn't explain why, but anyway, they felt that it should be safe to hide behind Li Xin.

"Fuck off, don't want to jump, go find someone else." Li Xin scolded angrily.

Qin Huaiyu watched from the side and smiled.

"Why do you guys look down on me?" The drunk seemed to have been humiliated, "Even if I, Zhang San, can't compose poems like yours, at least I've studied hard for ten years. Is it possible that I even made friends with you two?" Don’t you have any qualifications? My dear brother, you are too arrogant?”

Li Xin saw that the drunk was still entangled here, so he finally ran out of patience, gave Qin Huaiyu a wink, and said, "I'm so annoying, beat me up!" The drunk fell to the ground.

Although Qin Huaiyu likes poetry, he has inherited the violent gene of Mr. Qin. Seeing the violence happening in front of him, he immediately joined the battle group.

Seeing the noise here, the others stopped what they were doing and looked over here, seeing Li Xin and Qin Huaiyu beating Zhang San violently. Everyone was surprised: What's going on? Isn't this the genius who just wrote the eternal quatrain "Qixi"? How did he suddenly become a gangster who fights and fights?

Of course Li Xin didn't care about other people's eyes, he just greeted Zhang San's face with punches and curses: "Tell you to dance! Tell you to dance!" Qin Huaiyu also landed punch after punch, only But his fists were obviously much harder to bear than Li Xin's.

After a while, Zhang San was beaten into a pig's head, crying on the ground.

Li Xin straightened up and patted the ashes on his hands, only then did he feel much more relaxed. Thinking that if he hadn't reacted in time just now, the drunk would almost have thrown Xiao Ling and Chen Youlan on top of him, so he wished to punch a few more times.

Chen Youlan and Xiaoling maintained a half-squatting posture, staring at the scene in front of them in a daze. This was the first time they had seen the scene of the legendary Chang'an dude's violence at such a close distance, and it was normal for them to be a little shocked.

"Murderer!" Someone suddenly called out.

Li Xin followed the prestige and saw a middle-aged man with a beard pointing at him righteously and indignantly.

The man said: "On such a beautiful day and festival, you actually committed a crime in public, beating an unarmed scholar! Aren't you afraid that we will sue the officials? I want to see if there is any law in my Tang Dynasty!"

Li Xin glanced at Qin Huaiyu expressionlessly, and said, "Old Qin, did you hear that someone is telling us about Wang Fa?"
