Chastity Layman

The lively banquet was over, and Yan Lide, the young prison officer, returned home immediately.

"Danqing paper and pen ready!"

As soon as he ordered, the servants in the mansion immediately knew that Alang was going to paint again, so they all acted quickly.

In the study, all kinds of paper and pen colors have been prepared, and the maid lit the incense burner.

Mrs. Yan's mother, Yuwen, came over accompanied by her maid, "Are you drinking again? Are you drunk? Do you want to paint now?"

Yan Liben said hello to his mother, "I went to Lu's banquet to meet friends with poetry, but I was not drunk, but tonight's banquet was very exciting, and I was more intoxicated than wine. My son will draw down the things at the banquet tonight, draw A long scroll, it must be wonderful."

"Lu's poetry and rites are heirs, and he has a deep understanding of the Book of Changes. His children are familiar with both classics, calligraphy, and painting. It is not surprising that they can make some good poems." Yuwen, the mother of Yan, is the daughter of Yu Wenyong, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the princess of Qingdu in the Northern Zhou Dynasty , distinguished status, but also a superb painting skills. She was married to Yan Pi, Duke of Shibao County. Yan Pi was also a master of Danqing and a master architect.

The Yan family can be said to be a family in the field of architecture and painting. Yan Pi and Princess Qingdu are both masters in this field. Their eldest son Yan Lide also served as a minister of clothing and a general as a young craftsman.

Even the daughter of the Yan family is also a master designer, and has designed many costumes, umbrellas and guards of honor for the court.

The Yan family is an engineering family with top-notch painting, design, and construction, but the Yan family is also a member of the Guanlong noble group, and they actually look down on each other with the Shandong gentry. For example, this Fan Yang Lu family, their family is most famous for their research on the Book of Changes, and then their poetry, calligraphy and painting.

Because both of them are good at calligraphy and painting, they look down on each other.

The Lu family invited Yan Lide and Yan Liben brothers to the banquet. In fact, the two brothers did not want to go, but Li Shimin specially passed the Taoist decree to the two brothers, asking them to go to the banquet, and asking them to carefully record the scene of the banquet, and then draw a picture. The picture of the night banquet was submitted to the emperor for viewing.

If it wasn't for this mission, Yan Liben didn't want to go at all.

He didn't want to praise Lu Shi's stinky feet, who knew that going this time would be a surprise.

It was originally a banquet for the Lu family to show off, but in the end, Qin Lang forcibly stepped in to overwhelm the guests, and it turned into a scene where the crown prince wins over scholars and even shows off his talents.

That poem is really good, and this scene is really exciting.

Seeing the children of the five surnames suffocating, Yan Liben felt that it was better than drinking Sanlejiang, only the hotness of Wuliangye, the Qin family's Guogong wine, matched it.

Yan Liben excitedly described to his mother the embarrassing scene of the Lu family tonight, and also said how the nine-year-old Prince Highness and his seventeen-year-old Prince Shaoshi teacher turned against the guests.

"Aniang, let me recite for you a poem by the prince. The title of the poem is to send the general Qin Qiong out of the fortress again. Suddenly, I heard that the general in the sky is rampant in the fortress. I returned to Loulan Kingdom, and returned to Shuofang City. Golden horses, The white feather gathers the magic soldiers. The stars and the moon open the sky, the mountains and rivers line up the camp, the evening wind blows the corners, and the spring shines with flying lights..."

"Aniang doesn't know. At that time, the crown prince recited his poems, which stunned all the members of the Lu family who wanted to show off. Compared with the flamboyant and flamboyant rhetoric of the children of the Lu family, it is really far, far away! "

Princess Qingdu was a little surprised.

"Golden horses, white feathers gather magic weapons, this poem is indeed majestic!"

"That's right, this poem is the farewell poem written by the Crown Prince to send Qin Qiong out of Beijing together with Qin Lang. The heroic spirit of General Qin Qiong, who is so brave and heroic, is vividly vivid on the paper."

Princess Qingdu is also a talented woman, so she can't produce good poems. She can imagine how many so-called famous people in the world were shocked when this poem was published.

"Is this poem really written by His Royal Highness?"

Yan Liben smiled and said, "His Royal Highness has written a few poems before and passed them down, all of which are excellent, Aniang should remember the poem about pity farmers."

"But I heard some rumors in the market, saying that the two poems of mercy were written by Qin Lang."

"It's just gossip without evidence." Yan Liben smiled slyly. Although many people said that the prince's poems of pity for farmers were written by Qin Lang, there is no evidence for this. As a court official, of course he can't follow suit.

"The prince made a few poems tonight, what else?"

"There is also a song called Chunxiao, I don't feel dawn when I sleep in spring, I hear birds singing everywhere, the sound of wind and rain at night, I don't know how many flowers fall. This five unique poems is also very good, and it is still far superior to those poems written by the Lu family's children today."

"It's quite good, but compared to the one just now, it lacks some momentum, but it also shows more foundation." Yan's mother already knew it in her heart, "I guess these two songs are not the work of the prince."

"These two poems are also written by Qin Lang. I wonder what poem Qin Lang wrote tonight?"

"Xueshi Qin made a few songs tonight, one of which is "Xia Ke Xing Xing", which is very good."

Zhao Keman and Huying, Wu hooks are bright with frost and snow, and the silver saddle shines on the white horse, rustling like shooting stars. Killing a person in ten steps, not staying behind for thousands of miles, brushing off clothes when things happen, hiding merit and fame...

As soon as this poem came out, it can be said that Lu Chengzong and all the five surnames were shocked at that time, and even the other literati who went there were all applauded.

Many literati in Chang'an City are also martial arts and knights themselves, and they usually like to wear swords on their bodies, so when Qin Lang's song about knights came out, they all liked it very much, and felt that the song seemed to be about themselves.

The heroic ambitions of the knights were ignited, and the audience at the banquet naturally climaxed.

As soon as Qin Lang's poem came out, some people were so excited that they drank several big cups in succession, and they were full of praise.

Everyone patted the table and asked Qin Lang to play two more songs.

So Qin Lang also pretended to recite Li Bai's general wine. If you don’t see the Yellow River, it will not come up from the sky, and it will flow to the sea and never return. If you don’t see the mirror in the high hall, you will have sad and white hair, and the morning will be like blue frost and the evening will be frost. If you are happy in life, you must be happy. Don’t let the golden cup empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is exhausted...

Princess Qingdu couldn't help but blushed when she heard this, and her lips trembled with excitement. She slapped her hands on the table and followed her son to recite the poem there.

"Didn't you say that Qin Sanlang wrote three poems, and one more?"

"There is another poem, Nian Nujiao, the great river goes east, the waves wash away, and the ancient romantic man. To the west of the old base, the human way is: Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi. Rocks and clouds collapse, turbulent waves roll up thousands of piles of snow. The mountains and rivers are picturesque, There were so many heroes at that time. Thinking back to the time when Gong Jin was young, Xiao Qiao was married for the first time, with a majestic appearance, a feather fan and a scarf, talking and laughing, the strong captives were wiped out..."

Princess Qingdu is already old, but she can't help being moved when she hears these heroic lines.

"This Qin Sanlang is really amazing in his poems. He said that if I was born in the Three Kingdoms, I would be like Zhou Gongjin, and if I was a woman, I would marry Zhou Gongjin. Reading Qin Sanlang's poems, I hate that I was born too early. If I was born late Ten years, I am afraid that I will fall in love with him because of this, and I will not marry unless he is."

Yan Liben couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard his old lady's words.

"The Prince's previous poem to see Qin Qiong off now seems to be written by Qin Lang. This Qin Lang is really a natural genius. He has done many amazing things at such a young age, such as the fierce battle at Xuanwumen, and the peace of Youzhou. , Binzhou quelled chaos, reformed the tax system, promoted new laws, presided over the imperial examinations, paid attention to Jinshi, now he is the teacher of the prince, but he has become a great poet!"

Yan Liben suddenly felt a little jealous of Qin Sanlang, it was amazing to make his mother admire him wholeheartedly.

"Aniang, Qin Sanlang is only seventeen, could these poems be the poems he bought from others?"

Princess Qingdu shook her head.

"Those poems, any one of them, is enough to be famous all over the world, who is willing to sell such poems?"

"But Qin Lang is so young, how could he write such a poem?"

"Ordinary young people can't do it, just like the children of the Lu family and other five surnames. Poetry looks gorgeous, but it is empty. It is because they lack sufficient experience, no corresponding life perception, and no emotional thoughts. But although Qin Sanlang is young, But if you look at the things he has done, any one of them is amazing. The governor, the governor of Youzhou, the transfer envoy, the prime minister, the prince and the young teacher, those things he did are not fake. His experience is real, so he can’t be compared with those Cui Lu’s children, just like Qin Lang’s poems, there is no such gorgeous words in the poems that have been popular since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and he will not deliberately pursue As for the usage of Pianli, these poems of Qin Lang express his heart directly, abandoning the overly particular beauty of form, not pursuing gorgeous diction, not paying attention to rhythm, and not paying attention to allusions."

What Princess Qingdu pointed out was a common problem of palace-style poems popular since the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

This is the same as the five surnames and seven sects. If you pay too much attention to the external things, the inside will be empty.

Qin Lang's poems are just the opposite. They don't pay attention to the external forms, but focus on the inner, and focus on expressing thoughts.

This is a thousand times better.

"Qin Lang's poems have a touch of Wei Wu's style!"

Qing Du was amazed, and repeatedly said that if he was still young, he would definitely use Qin Lang as his idol, and boldly pursue and admire him.

"Go and call your brother and sisters, and Mother will also draw this picture of Qin Lang's night banquet with you!"

Originally, Yan Li originally planned to draw Lu Chengzong's Night Banquet, but Yan's mother called it Qin Lang's Night Banquet, and she wanted to call all the master painters of the Yan family. It's a masterpiece.

"Auntie, are you going to make a move?"

"Such a grand event deserves to be recorded by Yan Family Danqing!"

Before Yan Liben was only planning to complete the emperor's mission, but now, Yan's mother wants the Yan family to go all out, to remember this grand event and to leave a name for Qin Lang's scroll.

Yan's mother asked Yan Liben to describe the scene of the banquet in detail, including the layout and decoration of Zuixian Tower at that time, as well as the positions of the guests, their expressions, costumes, etc.

To make this night banquet picture perfect, there is a lot of preparatory work to be done.

"My mother wants to meet Qin Sanlang, please help arrange it."

Yan Liben was stunned.
