Chapter 64 Beauty Mural
"The news comes from the King of Qi. We are asking us to visit the King of Qi's Mansion at the beginning of the Si period."
"Go to the Qi Prince's Mansion?" Chen An was stunned.
After that, with his unlucky physique, he had to fall into the scene when he saw Li You, the great devil.
"I won't go, I'm not familiar with His Highness King Qi." This was the only excuse he could find when he scraped his stomach.
However, such excuses are of course not useful.
Fang Er waved his hand and rejected it: "Brothers, what are you familiar with? As long as you play together, you will be familiar with it!"
"Erlang, Your Highness, King Qi, also invited me?"
"Or I only invited you?" he tentatively said.
"Hey, what do you want to do so much, just follow them together."
"But I still..."
No matter how humble he was, Fang Yiai made up his mind to take him there. After an hour, they appeared in Xingdaofang.
Chen An felt that in the blue sky, his helpless grass was ruthlessly merciless.
For some reason, it was clearly a clear sky and had become an invisible rich man, but Chen An could not help but wonder in his heart when facing the invitations of these nobles.
I always feel that I still lack confidence in facing them.
I was afraid that a person who made a mistake would not only not be able to keep his money, but also his life would be...
Alas, forgot, everyone has come, so since you come, let's have peace.
Chen An discovered that since he came to the Tang Dynasty, he had said this sentence countless times. I really hope that these noble relatives can forget him and let him make money quietly?
Speaking of Xingdaofang, Chen An was not unimpressed.
In the northeast corner of Fangcheng, in another forty years, it will become the residence of the famous Princess Taiping. Now, this is the residence of King Li You of Qi.
It seems that in the early Tang Dynasty, the princes and nobles were relatively frugal. At least the mansions they occupied were often used in inheritance. Apart from expansion, they did not directly expand the land and build new buildings.
Of course, such frugality only lasted until the Yonghui period.
When Wu Zetian appeared on the stage of history, her children gradually gained power, and the trend of luxury comparison began to spread among nobles and relatives until the day when the Anshi Rebellion occurred.
In fact, the luxury enjoyment of the ancients is not worth mentioning compared to modern people 1,500 years later. The convenience of a king's life is even worse than that of a well-off family for a commoner.
At least, the sanitary conditions are not as good as those of the nobles. Even if they are nobles, it is difficult to take a shower every day.
However, when Chen An stood at the door of the Qi Prince's Mansion, he was still shocked by the magnificent buildings and extremely luxurious arrangements in front of him.
Li You, this kid, is very good at enjoying it.
There are vivid paintings everywhere on the courtyard wall and the screen wall. What is even more amazing is that 90% of them are graceful women and very few men.
The Tang Dynasty has always been famous for its open attitude and unrestrained work style. However, no matter how free and unrestrained it is still in ancient times.
For example, young ladies like Furong and Gao Yang need to wear croakers if they want to go out, including straw hats with long yarn.
The length of the long yarn is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It is often knee-length. Although it is light, it can ensure that most of a woman's body cannot be peeped at.
The kind of childish hat that only covers the face and does not block the torso was probably the case when Emperor Zhongzong Li Xian. As for women who go out without masking at all, their popularity will at least have to wait until the Kaiyuan period of Li Longji.
Therefore, there are a large number of women's murals in Li You's palace. Although they are not wearing clothes, they are beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Before the two entered the inner courtyard, Fang Yiai saw that he had been staring at the mural and immediately understood his intentions.
"How is it, King Qi can play!"
Fang Yiai smirked, and Chen An asked, "Why are there women's murals everywhere in the royal palace?"
No matter how ugly the words were, he would be embarrassed to say them.
As far as he knows, even in the districts of Pingkangfang, he dare not blatantly store the portraits of a woman everywhere.
This Li You is really a capable person!
"You will be curious as soon as I guess," Fang Yiai said, "If you look carefully, what is the content on the painting?"
Chen An walked to the closest place of the screen wall to watch as he said.
Sure enough, the woman's paintings described as the main body are not a matter of silence. After careful look, you can tell that many murals are painted on each wall.
The contents of these murals are actually continuous, which means that murals are not just paintings, but also show the story.
Chen An knew little about ancient folk stories, so he could only barely recognize Tiying's rescue of his father.
"What is the meaning of these paintings?" He asked if he didn't understand. He was always humble.
"Have you seen the girl's article written by Empress Changsun?" Fang Yiai asked in surprise. Obviously, with his understanding, Chen An should not be unaware of it.
Chen An shook his head regretfully, and Fang Yiai suddenly became full of energy.
There were things that Chen An didn't know about, and he suddenly felt full of strength.
"These are all stories among the girls!"
“Here, here.”
“There is still there.”
Fang Yiai danced excitedly, pulling Chen An to watch carefully between the various murals.
"These murals were specially painted by His Highness the King of Qi to commemorate the Empress."
commemorate?
Chen An complained: Changsun is not his biological mother, right? What do he have to miss? Besides, isn’t his biological mother still alive?
This Li You is quite tricky.
However, why did he do this, Chen An is a member of the house.
Under the guise of commemorating Queen Changsun, many women's murals were drawn at home. On the one hand, they could get a good start from Li Shimin.
The most important thing is to satisfy your hobby of watching beauty murals, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
The Qi Palace was very vigilant and there was no notice, so the two could only wait in the doorman.
The concierge of the Tang Dynasty mansion was not alone, a small room, but a large courtyard facing the inner house and was separated by a giant screen wall.
The concierge played an important role in the Tang Dynasty's house. Some powerful ministers, such as Li Linfu, who were descended from the family, were full of guests every day, asking for services and making relationships. There were too many people visiting him. Li Linfu was too arrogant and could not meet any cat or dog.
Even if you want to meet, there must be a sequence.
Therefore, these guests who come from afar can only wait in the concierge, and there are usually stables here to allow guests' mounts to eat.
The guest is waiting for the recommendation here. Logically speaking, a distinguished guest like Fang Yiai is also an old acquaintance of Li You, so there is no need to be such trouble.
But who attracted them by the murals, so they were delayed here for a long time.
