Chai Shao was still smiling with his mouth wide open. He accidentally saw Xiao Han's expression becoming depressed, and thought he was unhappy.
After suppressing his smile, Chai Shao came over, hugged Xiao Han's shoulders and cursed with a smile: "Look, can you have a smiling face when you are celebrating the New Year?! Who can you show your shy face all day long? Why, my brother is more important than you.
Are you unhappy?"
Xiao Han was awakened by Chai Shao's actions, turned around and said to Chai Shao with a smile: "Haha, how is that possible? Brother Chai, the bigger your official position is, the happier I will be! In the future, you can help me when I get into trouble, right?
?I just thought of something and was a little annoyed! I wanted to drink."
"Oh? Want to drink? That's not easy! Tomorrow, we will go to my brother's house to pay New Year's greetings. Let's drink openly. But you have to bring your own wine. They gave me so many jars during the New Year, but they are not enough for me to drink by myself!
"Chai Shao pointed at Xiao Han and laughed loudly, his arms shaking with the laughter, and Xiao Han was also staggered.
"Stop, stop, stop shaking, the food you just ate is going to be shaken out too!"
After being shaken like a roly-poly for a long time, Xiao Han finally broke free from Chai Shao's arm, rubbed his sore shoulders and said to him: "Bring wine with you! You must be stingy! Just like our Majesty! I heard that he still drank last year.
A lot of people poured it? Why is there only one pot left this year? Could it be that you did it on purpose when you saw me coming?"
Chai Shao rolled his eyes when he heard this, and replied scornfully to Xiao Han: "Just you? I'm not a brother, I say, you treat yourself too much! You don't open the supply this year because you drank too much last year!
Those bastards acted like they had never drunk in their entire lives! They drank until the Yuan Day Ceremony the next day and did not sober up! As a result, they were drunk and embarrassed in front of the envoys from various countries. His Majesty was greatly annoyed at that time, so this year
, let’s just limit it to one pot per person, and after tomorrow’s Yuan Day ceremony, you can drink whatever you like!”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Brother Chai, please tell me carefully!"
Xiao Han was a newcomer last year, and he had just integrated into the life of the Tang Dynasty! He didn't know these rules, and no one informed him that he was coming!
So I skipped work on such an important day, so naturally I didn’t know what was going on.
Now that I heard Chai Shao talk about it one by one, I finally understood some of these things.
Chai Shao now had enough to eat and drink, and wanted to find someone to brag about. Seeing that Xiao Han was so eager to learn, it greatly satisfied his desire to be a teacher, so he pointed to the sky and the earth and began to tell Xiao Han the rules and regulations.
Interesting facts.
"You don't know that after drinking wine last time, the maids lost several of them! I guess this is the reason why His Majesty didn't give them wine, huh..."
While Chai Shao was still whispering to Xiao Han, muttering about who lost his ugliness last year and who took advantage of the drunkenness to snatch the maid into the car and take her home.
In the open space in the middle of the lobby, a group of dancers dressed in cool clothes walked up quietly.
"Boom..."
A clear and long guqin sound sounded in the venue, directly suppressing all the noise present.
Xiao Han and Chai Shao, whose heads were almost touching each other, were stunned for a moment. They looked up and looked forward together, only to find that the dancers were already dancing in the middle of the field.
To be honest, Xiao Han doesn't like dancing very much.
Perhaps because he was a commoner in his previous life, even if he is now a prince, he is not very good at appreciating these things. Watching singing and dancing, for Xiao Han, is to see whether the person dancing is handsome or not...
Today is the New Year's Eve of the Tang Dynasty, and all the beauties who can dance here are selected beauties. Needless to say, their looks!
In addition, they wear dresses made of colorful yarns, which are gorgeous and transparent!
With every move of his hands and feet, those white arms and calves were looming under the dress, making Xiao Han swallow hard!
"Do you feel sorry for Xue Pan by doing this?"
This thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Han's mind, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. He didn't even look at Chai Shao next to him, and his mouth was almost dripping with water.
Hey, poor baby! It seems that Princess Pingyang is also a good tamer!
Xiao Han sighed and remembered that after the last brothel incident, he hadn't seen Chai Shao for several days!
Later, when the two brothers met again, Chai Shao suddenly had a few bruises on his face that had not dissipated...
"Your Majesty, I would like to offer you a coral dragon from the South China Sea. I wish your Majesty the dragon's might and longevity!"
Just halfway through the dance, Pei Ji, who was sitting at the head of the hundred officials, stood up with a smile again and held his hand towards Li Yuan.
Xiao Han had just listened to Chai Shao's talk about last year's events, and also knew that the singing and dancing time was also the time for courtiers to present congratulatory gifts. When he heard the sound, he reluctantly pulled his eyes away from a young dancer and turned to look at
Direction of Li Yuan.
Next to the palace, leading to the side hall, two chamberlains carefully carried an ornament half a person tall to Li Yuan!
"Oh, let me go! This is... red coral?!"
Xiao Han originally looked forward carelessly, but when he saw the things that were brought out clearly, his eyes almost jumped out of his eye sockets because he opened them too fast!
What was placed in front of Li Yuan was a sculpture of a dragon chasing a dragon ball. It was all bright red and was completely carved from a whole red coral.
The slender divine dragon's body hovered upwards, with a lifelike dragon head. Its open mouth seemed to be about to take off the flaming dragon ball in front of it!
Even if Xiao Han doesn't understand art, he can still see that this entire sculpture is a masterpiece, both in terms of shape and details!
"This... this thing, not to mention the carving, the materials alone are extremely expensive!"
Xiao Han stared at the coral dragon in front of Li Yuan in stunned silence. He vaguely remembered that in later generations, the price of a gram of red coral was several times more expensive than gold! This Pei Ji must be too rich!!!
In contrast, Li Yuan and others were not as shocked as Xiao Han.
Although they are also impressed by the exquisiteness of this object, in terms of their vision of rare objects, they are much higher than Xiao Han, so naturally they will not make a fuss.
"Ai Qing is interested!"
Li Yuan looked at the coral dragon and nodded to Pei Ji happily.
He liked the way this divine dragon soared into the sky, and it reminded him of the Tang Empire that he had built with his own hands! He hoped that the Tang Empire could be like the divine dragon in front of him, soaring thousands of miles into the sky and spreading its power in all directions.
Seeing that Li Yuan was satisfied with his gift, Pei Ji smiled and stepped back.
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Xiao Yu, the second official in the queue, Zhongshu Ling, walked forward slowly. Instead of using a chamberlain, he personally took out a scroll from his sleeve: "I present to your majesty a pair of Right Army's "
"Peace Note", may my emperor be safe and prosperous!"
"Holy crap! It's Wang Xizhi's name! Brother, it's just a New Year gift, do you need to spell it like this?!"
If the last coral dragon stunned Xiao Han, then the "Peace Note" Xiao Yu took out was enough to completely petrify Xiao Han!
Who is Wang Youjun? Wang Xizhi is right! The famous calligraphy saint! This is definitely not a thief saint, and it can't be compared with the thief saint!
And as far as Xiao Han knew, by the time he lived in later generations, not a single authentic work of Wang Xizhi had survived!
If he could return to the 21st century with this "Peace Note", how much money could he exchange for it?
