Fish swimming around the world

Young Master Jiang disagreed. This is what we do. We make money based on our own abilities. We don’t steal or rob. What’s wrong with that? The emperor and high officials can’t eat free meals, right? We have to collect what we should collect!

Many other officials had heard books, so they knew the rules. They smiled and handed the money to Gu Beiyan. Of course, some who had not been to the scene in person felt very incredible. Especially when they saw Gu Beiyan approaching the empress with a plate, they all wanted to see how Her Majesty would react. After all, I have never seen anyone who dared to collect money from this person.

Zhao Er had already prepared everything. He took out an ingot of fifty taels of silver and gently placed it on the plate: "Your Majesty has a reward."

Gu Beiyan's heart was pounding, and he almost cursed Jiang Fan to death in his heart. Seeing that Zhao Er gave the silver and His Majesty was not unhappy at all, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly knelt down to salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The empress looked at her: "Today, there are only people listening to books and storytellers. Listening to books naturally requires silver, and there is no need to thank you."

Soon, the reward silver was collected. Today's harvest is far more than usual. After all, the civil and military officials are generous and have given at least five taels of silver. It is roughly estimated that today's harvest is definitely more than a thousand taels. However, the national teacher Xu Fu said that the old man did not have much money with him, so he put a pill on the plate. Everyone was envious for a while, and even Gu Beiyan thanked him repeatedly.

This is not good. It is not polite enough to listen to the book without paying silver, and you also give a poison pill. Xu Fu, you old guy are not a thing. Master Jiang complained in his heart, but he had to give up in such an occasion. You like it, right? Okay, at most I will sell it to you.

Old Master Meng Ao sighed and said, "It's a pity that the young man only speaks for half an hour every day, which makes people feel itchy."

An old man also said, "Indeed, I wonder if the young man can say more today when His Majesty is here?"

Everyone had this idea, and they all cast their eyes on Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan naturally knew that everyone was still unsatisfied. But adding more is impossible! He smiled slightly: "Rules cannot be abolished. If you want to know what happens next, let's continue tomorrow."

Meng Ao smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know, every time I listen to the book, I feel uneasy, for fear that he will say these words. Every time the wake-up wood sounds, my heart is full of joy, and when the wake-up wood sounds again, my heart trembles. Hahaha..."

Jiang Fan thought about it and suddenly said: "However, it is rare for your majesty and all the adults to support us today. Although I can't say much, I can present a poem to liven up the atmosphere."

Jiang Fan used the name Jiang Yulang. None of these people are not smart. "Three Kingdoms" opens with "Linjiangxian". Even those who don't know the details can vaguely guess some possibilities, and naturally look forward to his lyrics.

Some people are very interested: "Linjiangxian" is already a great article through the ages. I wonder if the lyrics written by the young man today can be comparable?"

The empress also became interested. She has always liked Jiang Fan's poems and lyrics very much. Even every time she reads them, her mood has improved.

She whispered a few words to Zhao Er. Zhao Er understood and said loudly: "Your Majesty has ordered that Jiang Fan should do it quickly. If you do it well, you will be rewarded generously!"

Reward? Haha, what do you mean by "if you do it well"? Don't you know what I am capable of? It would be disrespectful to refuse it. Who made your husband just settle down, with a weak foundation and no private money saved.

Jiang Fan made up his mind to give them a big surprise today!

So he slapped the wake-up stick, and his voice was low and deep: "The poem is Nian Nujiao. Red Cliff Nostalgia."

"The great river flows east, the waves wash away, and the heroes of the ages.

To the west of the old fortress, the people are Zhou Lang of the Three Kingdoms Red Cliff.

Rough rocks pierce the sky, the waves hit the table, and thousands of piles of snow are rolled up.

The mountains and rivers are like a painting, and there are so many heroes at the time."

As soon as the first verse came out, the whole room was silent. The first verse begins with the scene of wind and waves, with a broad artistic conception and a vague and deep feeling, which combines the mighty river with the human affairs of the ages. People seemed to see the mighty river flowing eastward, the waves crashing against the shore, the waves seemed to roll up thousands of piles of snow, the mountains and rivers were magnificent and picturesque, and many heroes emerged at once, then disappeared in the rolling waves, and disappeared with the river.

Looking at the intoxicated or sighing expressions of these people. Jiang Fan couldn't help but laugh at himself, alas... copying and copying, I got used to it...

"Thinking of Gongjin in those days, Xiao Qiao was just married, heroic and handsome.

With a feather fan and a scarf, in the midst of laughter and conversation, the masts and oars were reduced to ashes.

I am wandering in my homeland, and you should laugh at me for being sentimental and having gray hair at an early age.

Life is like a dream, and I will pour a cup of wine to the moon on the river."

Life is like Zhou Gongjin, who was proud and heroic, full of heroic spirit, and in the midst of laughter and conversation, 800,000 enemy troops were reduced to ashes. But today I am wandering in the past, but I laugh at my sentimentality and my early gray hair. Life is really like a dream, so I raise a cup to commemorate this eternal moon. Although the second stanza expresses his feelings of failure in his career by admiring Zhou Yu, it seems sad, but in fact it represents his unwillingness to sink and his determination to make progress, without losing his heroic character.

When the whole poem came out, all the civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty were filled with emotion.

The fierce battle of Chibi and this ancient and wonderful article complement each other, making people more immersed in it. These civil officials and generals either traveled through the ages or clapped their hands and chanted, unable to extricate themselves.

Old Master Meng Ao stroked his beard and sighed: "Good words, good words. Not inferior to Linjiangxian!"

The final word. Everyone agreed and praised it. Not only the civil officials who loved poetry were excited, but even the generals were fascinated by the artistic conception.

At this point, Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am so shameless to ask for a reward..."

The young man's impolite initiative to ask for a reward made the civil and military officials feel bold and interesting. They all wanted to see how the empress would reward him.

The empress stood up and looked at him with her hands behind her back: "Tell me."

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, looked at the empress and said: "Your Majesty, please give me a piece of land."

Everyone was stunned. Want land?

The empress was also a little surprised: "You want a piece of land?"

Jiang Fan nodded and said: "That's right. I just came to Yangdu and want to find a place to settle down. I wonder if it's okay?"

The empress looked at him seriously: "You already have a mortal residence to settle down, where else do you want to settle down?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "Your Majesty, Mortal Residence is a place to settle down. I have to establish a career. I can't just live by telling stories in a restaurant, right?"

The empress nodded: "Okay. Report to me when you have chosen a place."

Jiang Fan said: "No need to choose, just next to my mortal residence, the abandoned Qinglian Garden will do."

Qinglian Garden is a private garden covering an area of ​​about 500 acres in the west of the city, next to Mortal Residence, named after the Qinglian Pond in the middle. However, when he made this request, many people gasped.

No, although this Qinglian Garden is not worth money, it is of great importance. Because, it originally belonged to the third prince of Qin, Ying Wuming.

As for the reason for the abandonment, it was because the empress killed Ying Wuming here, and then it became a forbidden place. Since no one dared to mention the matter of the third prince, naturally no one would touch this place, and it became abandoned over time.

This Jiang Fan really didn't know the taboos, or was so bold that he openly asked for Qinglian Garden in defiance of the world. Next... I'm afraid he will have to face the empress's rage. For a moment, everyone kept silent, and the room fell into silence.
