Chapter 985: Helping the two bowels (Part 1)
Song Lingwen came from a poor family, but he aspired to become a master. Therefore, he not only read poetry and books diligently, but also practiced swords and sticks. In addition, he was good at drilling camps. Finally, he was appointed by a white-clothed official with the rank of right and heroic guard Zhonglang. It has to be said that he was really a descendant of countless people from poor families. An example of struggle.
However, when it comes to what he is most proud of, it is nothing more than giving birth to a good son...
Song Zhiwen was able to speak at the age of one and was very smart. He could recite famous poems at the age of three. He was sensitive and eager to learn, and was called a "child prodigy".
With a son like this, the glory of the family is just around the corner. The Song family can also rise from a humble family to a noble family. How can Song Lingwen be dissatisfied?
When Fang Jun looked at Song Lingwen again, his eyes changed.
Being able to raise such a selfish and vicious son, it seems that this person's character will not be much better. Although Song Zhiwen was talented and had many famous works, his character was extremely despicable and he was despised by others.
Song Zhiwen is an example of talent without virtue!
Li Tai introduced the last guest to Fang Jun: "This Mr. Xiao Deyan is a descendant of the Xiao family of Lanling, a nobleman of the Southern Dynasties, and the same clan as the Duke of Song Dynasty."
This man was also dressed as a scholar, but his white face was slightly fat, and his smiling appearance was more like a businessman who was friendly and prosperous. Hearing this, he laughed at himself: "Why does Your Highness give gold and jade to someone? He is just a branch of the Xiao family, and he is the same as Song Guogong. Wufu had already appeared. When the Sui Dynasty overthrew the Southern Dynasty, our ancestors moved to Chang'an with our children and grandchildren, and did not return to our ancestral home in Lanling for many years."
The words are quite sad.
From the chaotic wars in the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the rise of the Sui Dynasty and then to its demise, this was the most turbulent era in the Central Plains in less than a hundred years. During this period, how many heroes have risen, how many noble families have fallen, how many heroes have met with each other, and how many people have been displaced?
Even the Xiao family, a wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, still does not take into account the branches and collaterals, and they are just like ordinary people living in exile and struggling to survive.
I would rather be a peace dog than a liar!
Xiao Deyan raised his glass to pay tribute to Fang Jun.
Du Chuke smiled and interjected: "We are familiar with each other, but this is the first time for Erlang to get together. Is this politeness just to get Erlang drunk? Besides, such politeness is unnecessary at the banquet. Why don't we each tell a joke? , if anyone can’t make everyone laugh, how about giving him a drink as a penalty?”
Li Tai laughed and said: "I thought that Du Changshi would propose such elegant methods as improvising poems and flying flowers to deliver orders. How could it be so tacky?"
Xiao Deyan laughed and said: "Your Highness, are you trying to harm us? Erlang's poetry talent is unparalleled in the world. If he can compose poems impromptu, we can't match him. And it's already a severe winter, but there are no flowers to send orders. Du Changshi suggested something. OK.”
Li Tai nodded in agreement: "I was confused and almost dug a hole to bury myself... let me start."
Everyone looked at him.
Li Tai pondered for a moment and then said: "Che Yin studied in the nang, and Sun Kang read in the snow. They are both elegant things. One day, Sun Kang went to pay homage to Che Yin, but he didn't meet him. When he asked where he was going, the attendant said: 'I went out to catch fireflies.' A few days later, Che Yin returned to pay homage to Sun Kang. When he arrived at Sun's house, he saw Sun Kang standing leisurely in the court and asked, "Why don't you study?" Sun Kang sighed and said, "I don't think it's snowing today."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Nang Ying's reading and Ying Xue's reading were originally an elegant thing spread among the people. These two people are also famous all over the world because of their love of learning. But according to the King of Wei, he did not study during the day but went to catch fireflies and then caught fireflies at night to study. The other one went even worse. He had to wait until it snowed before reading in the snow. He would actually stand in the courtyard waiting during normal times. It's snowing...
Everyone laughed, so everyone drank together, except Li Tai.
However, Li Tai was good at winning people's hearts, so he naturally couldn't sit upright and had a drink with him.
It's Du Chuke's turn.
Du Chuke said: "For those who give birth to a baby in the seventh month of pregnancy, their husbands may not be able to raise it well, so they will ask questions when they meet people. One day, I talked about this matter with a friend, and the friend said: 'It doesn't matter, my ancestors also gave birth to a baby in the seventh month. "The man was surprised and asked, "Please tell me, did your ancestor grow up well?"
Everyone laughed again, raised their glasses and drank.
How stupid this person is. If the ancestor of my friend was not raised, where did this friend come from?
Next is Xiao Deyan.
Xiao Deyan thought for a moment with a smile, and then said: "When a man has a new daughter, there is a man who uses a two-year-old son as a matchmaker. The man angrily says: 'My daughter is one year old, and your son is two years old; if my daughter is ten years old, your son is two years old. My son is twenty years old. How can I accept this as my son-in-law? ' His wife heard this and said, 'You are wrong. My daughter is one year old this year and will be the same age as her son next year. Why not? '"
A family that doesn’t know how to count...
Everyone drinks again.
As cups were pushed and cups changed, the atmosphere at the table gradually became lively, and everyone drank a lot.
Fang Jun has a good drinker. What surprised him was that Xiao Deyan, who was fair and fat, had the same expression as him. Song Lingwen's wine was the worst, and his ability to drink was also poor. His face was red from drinking, and Fang Jun frowned several times.
After a few rounds, when it was Song Lingwen's turn again, the man was red-faced and smelling of wine, his eyes flashed and he thought for a long time before he said: "The husband and wife were drinking together, and the wife persuaded her husband to do the order. The husband said: 'Colorless basin What can I do?" The wife pointed to her waist and said, "Here is the sex basin. I want you to do the sex ritual, not the drinking ritual. ’ The husband said, ‘Yes. ’ Then he untied his trousers and brought out a tool, but he found that the material was not hard. The wife yelled, "If the officer doesn't lift it, he should be punished with a cup of wine." 'Wow hahaha..."
The color basin is a device used for drinking, similar to the dice thrown in later generations...
After saying that, Song Lingwen laughed to himself.
But no one in the full house laughed, they were all embarrassed.
But Du Chuke's face was ashen, and the veins on his forehead popped out!
Fang Jun glanced disdainfully at Song Lingwen, who was laughing, and then at Li Tai, who looked hesitant but remained silent, feeling unhappy.
Everyone knows that Du Chuke was severely injured when he was young and became inhumane. Now he is nearly half a century old, not only has he no children, but he does not even have a concubine by his side. The reason why he is willing to remain anonymous in the Wei Palace is probably because of the psychological shortcomings caused by this incident...
The literati of Song Lingwen were really not ashamed to take pleasure in other people's pain points.
But Fang Jun would naturally not blame character problems so superficially.
He could tell that Song Lingwen looked at Du Chuke with a strange look, filled with deep disdain and deep jealousy.
Was he jealous that Du Chuke was deeply trusted by Li Tai, so he took the opportunity to attack Du Chuke's prestige?
But no matter what, Li Tai should scold Song Lingwen at this moment and protect Du Chuke's face. Since Li Tai never said anything, it means that Du Chuke is actually not as important as Song Lingwen in Li Tai's heart, or that Song Lingwen is the one Li Tai is trying his best to win over...
How could Song Lingwen be more valuable than Du Chuke?
Fang Jun couldn't think of anything after much thought, there was only one thing...
military power!
Song Lingwen was the Zhonglang General of Youxiao Guard. He was usually in charge of an army and was responsible for the palace guards.
Fang Jun sighed slightly. Li Tai had an impetuous temperament and was unwilling to be lonely. He might have a plan in his heart.
He no longer wanted to stay here.
But before leaving, he had to teach Song Lingwen a lesson...
Fang Jun did not drink. He looked at Song Lingwen and said, "This joke is not funny at all, so you are punished by drinking."
Song Lingwen didn't smile when he saw no one, so he nodded and said, "I'm willing to admit defeat and drink."
I drank four cups in a row, but I felt very happy.
King Wei Li Tai has been wooing him, and he is happy to join the big tree of King Wei. He thinks that he has outstanding talents, and the reason why he is now just a mere lieutenant general is simply because he is restricted by his family background, has no roots, and no one in the court.
I am proficient in bow and horse and well-read, how can any of my immediate superiors compare to me? It was just because they had a good family background and caught up with the good time of the founding of the Tang Dynasty that they reached high positions one by one.
As long as he can climb the towering tree of His Majesty King Wei, who else can suppress his rise?
The General of the Guard is like taking something from the bag, and the General is not unreachable. Even the General of the Twelve Guards will definitely be able to reach it one day!
But Du Chuke kept slandering him from time to time, saying how frivolous his character was and how flawed his moral character was, but the King of Wei trusted him very much. Mother! I'm just an inhumane useless person, relying on the reputation of my ancestors and brother, who have the right to criticize me?
Today I want to humiliate you in front of everyone. How can you have the face to be arrogant in front of me? His Royal Highness, the King of Wei, has countless literati and Confucian scholars. Who are you, Du Chuke? But there are not many people who hold military power like me. Even if I insult you, His Highness the King of Wei will not blame me.
As expected, Li Tai remained silent...
Song Ling's face was full of color and he felt very happy.
Fang Jun watched Song Lingwen finish his drink and smiled: "It's my turn..." (End of Chapter)
