The wedding team entered the back house and stopped in front of the embroidery building of Princess Jin's family.
The female relatives who had just beaten Fang Jun wildly went into the embroidered pavilion with a smile and closed the door tightly. Then, the master of ceremonies of the Wang family stood in front of the embroidered pavilion and said loudly: "Auspicious days and auspicious days, congratulations.
Compose a poem to encourage the bride to dress up. Only with good words and sentences can you fully show the match made in heaven. Please write a poem to encourage the bride to make up!"
Then, everyone in the courtyard shouted together: "Bride, come out!"
Fang Jun was slightly stunned. Is there still such a process?
He knew about the makeup poems, but why was he so dizzy when he got married? It seemed like he didn't have this level of experience? Even if he did, he would compose poems by himself. The groomsmen at that time were all a bunch of drunken friends who could compose shitty poems.
…
As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, someone from behind the door exclaimed: "How can I finish one song? Today's best man is Fang Jun, the most famous talent in Chang'an. I need at least three songs!"
"Not just three songs, but every song must be approved by us, right sisters?"
Fang Jun was speechless, hearing that it was Wang Xiu Niang who was causing trouble again.
It seems that Li Siwen must be given some eye drops. After getting married, he will have to take care of this girl...
But things like urging makeup poems are not a problem for me!
I used to have a girlfriend who majored in Chinese, and she was a genuine female literary youth. When her best friend got married, she took Fang Jun and collected all kinds of makeup-inducing poems from ancient times to the present, and strictly ordered Fang Jun to memorize them.
She presented poems at the wedding ceremony to show off the "quality" of her boyfriend. As a result, the two broke up before their best friend's wedding...
Looking back on the past, it is like a dream.
It seems that these stars are not last night, for whom the wind and dew set the midnight...
Forget the past.
"Three songs are three, please listen carefully!" Fang Erlang was full of enthusiasm, as if he wanted to completely vent his past memories.
Everyone knows that every one of Fang Jun's poems is a classic, enough to be sung and immortalized for generations to come, and everyone cheers up.
Li Zhi quietly pulled Fang Jun's sleeve and said eagerly: "Brother-in-law, write two classics!"
Due to the limitation of subject matter, this makeup poem is generally difficult to become a classic.
If Fang Jun writes a classic today that can be passed down to future generations, and when future generations talk about this poem to encourage people to make up, they will mention today's wedding of the King of Jin. Wouldn't it be equivalent to leaving a mark in the history books?
Fang Jun patted Li Zhi on the shoulder and said proudly: "What's so difficult about this?"
Everyone was amazed.
If others say this, it is arrogance; if Fang Jun says this, no one dares to ridicule him! His previous works have long established his status as the first famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. If anyone is dissatisfied, then write it first
Let’s take a look at a song that’s better than Fang Jun’s!
Fang Jun took two steps forward, memories flooded into his mind like a tide, and he chanted: "It is said that red powder is mixed under the candle, and there is no spring in front of the mirror. There is no need to cover the face with makeup, and the eyebrows are left to be painted."
???????If you look closely at the poem, you can see that the object of "urge" described here is a woman. She is "in front of the mirror" at night "under candlelight", mixing rouge and pink to dress herself up. A "spring"
The word "urge" not only reveals the young woman's youthful age, but also symbolizes that she has a beautiful appearance like a spring. The way of "urge" is also ingenious. It is not a rude call, but a polite advice: Don't be "full of makeup".
"The eyebrows are left open" to be painted by the "painter". The borrowing of the allusion of Zhang Chang in the Han Dynasty who drew eyebrows for his wife adds to the intriguing artistic conception of the poem.
"good!"
The hospital responded with a roar and applauded.
Inside the embroidery building, there was also a buzz of chatter.
The Xie family and the Wang family are related by marriage, so Xie Mingzhu is familiar with all the female members of the Wang family. At this moment, Xie Mingzhu murmured and recited Fang Jun's poems, and sighed: "This man is really powerful. How can he do such a thing as writing poetry?"
Is it difficult to live with him?"
Wang Xiu Niang frowned, gritted her silver teeth and said, "Then we can't get over it so easily, can we?"
Wang was a little unsteady sitting on the embroidery bed.
Wang was just twelve years old this year. When she saw some of her cousins making trouble for Fang Jun, she said with some concern: "That Fang Erlang is very murderous and ferocious, why bother with him? Let him pass quickly, just in case.
If you piss him off, what will happen?"
Wang Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Why, my sister can't wait to get married?"
Wang's face turned red with embarrassment, she didn't dare to say anything and let her sisters do whatever they wanted.
Xie Mingzhu then said: "Anyway, if this one is passed, there are two more. When the next one is not as good as this one, let's just consider him failing?"
All the sisters nodded in unison. It would be outrageous to fail such a good makeup poem.
Wang Xiu Niang had no choice but to say loudly: "Forget it!"
Fang Jun outside the door laughed loudly and said loudly without stopping: "I don't know what night it is, so I urge the balcony to get closer to the mirror. Who knows that hibiscus grows in the water and blooms in the bronze mirror."
"good!"
There was joy again.
Wang Xiu Niang in the show building was completely depressed. Why did she think this song was so much better than the one just now?
Xie Mingzhu gritted her teeth: "Will you make things difficult for him again with the last song?"
Wang Xiu Niang could only say: "That's okay..."
The second song was passed. Fang Jun continued to sing loudly: "The Wang family's beautiful daughter is noble, she married into the emperor's family; Heavenly Mother mixed the sky powder, Brother Ri took pity on it and gave flowers. I urged to lay a hundred children's tent, and waited for the seven-scented chariot to be blocked; I asked for the makeup to be completed
In the future? The east is about to see the dawn!"
This time no one shouted, and the whole courtyard burst into applause!
Wang Xiu Niang and Xie Mingzhu in the show building were completely dumbfounded. What kind of monster is this man? Why is his song better than the other?
Who can find fault with such a make-up poem?
Just as he was struggling, he heard an old voice in the courtyard say slowly: "Today Fang Erlang's poem to encourage makeup is published, I'm afraid there will be no more poems to encourage makeup in the Tang Dynasty! How wonderful and exciting, the little boy in the building
Daughters, please quickly invite the groom to come in!"
Wang Xiu Niang stuck out her tongue and said in surprise: "It's Aye..."
Hearing that it was Wang Gui who had spoken, all the female relatives no longer dared to mess around. They opened the door obediently and welcomed Jin Wang Li Zhi and others in. The building was filled with laughter and joy.
Fang Jun didn't have anything to do for the time being, so he walked to the side of the courtyard, bowed to Wang Gui, who was stooped and had white hair and beard, and said, "I have met Duke Yongning."
Wang Gui chuckled: "Why should a dying person be so polite? The rules here still need some time, why not sit in the side hall for a while?"
Fang Jun knew that Wang Gui had something to say, so he hurriedly said: "It's my wish, but I don't dare to invite you!"
He stepped forward to support Wang Gui's arm, only to find that the old man was already skinny and skinny, like a candle in the wind, almost exhausted.
Wang Gui said warmly: "The old man can still walk, so why does he need help?"
Fang Jun said respectfully: "Respecting the elderly is a human virtue."
Wang Gui laughed and let him help him into the side hall.
A servant serves tea.
Wang Gui pointed to the tea soup in the teacup on the table and said: "Tea has been around for a long time, but only Fang Erlang's skillful hand improved it and made it a necessity that thousands of households flock to. It has various benefits.
There are so many of them, I really admire them."
For a generation of famous ministers like Wang Gui who could be listed as one of the "Four Famous Prime Ministers of the Early Tang Dynasty", Fang Jun would naturally not simply praise himself as Wang Gui.
After a moment of reflection, Fang Jun slowly said: "Actually, tea has been around since ancient times. The reason why people haven't worked out ways to improve it is probably not because others are not as good as me, but because others have never thought about it. In the past, sencha was brewed Tang Dynasty has been passed down from generation to generation, and later generations have remained stagnant and do not think about changes. The times are developing, and the trend of history cannot be resisted. This is the general trend. If everyone has the mentality to adapt to the times and is willing to consider some changes on top of the original things, The result will be completely different, and it may not be that pessimistic."
You always have a conservative and selfish mentality, but you don't know that the world today is changing rapidly due to the emergence of new things such as sea trade and gunpowder. How can you keep up with the trend?
In the face of the general trend of history, any force that attempts to block progress will be crushed to pieces. Who cares whether you are a prince, general, or a noble family?
Wang Gui raised his snow-white eyebrows slightly and remained silent.
After a long time, he sighed and said: "The Guanlong Group is the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty's desire for power has skyrocketed and he intends to decide the world's affairs with one word. This is not a good thing. Of course, the original intention of the Guanlong Group's resistance is not to harm himself. The interests are damaged, but if this struggle continues, the result is nothing more than increasing internal friction and leading to instability in the country. Fang Erlang has the talent of being a prime minister and an assistant, so why does he not give advice to His Majesty, but instead adds fuel to the flames?"
Fang Jun was silent for a moment.
He carefully reviewed every sentence in his mind, and then slowly said: "This junior has heard a sentence and deeply agrees with it."
Wang Gui asked: "Tell me and listen."
Fang Jun raised his eyes, stared at Wang Gui, suddenly smiled and said: "Seek unity through struggle, and unity will survive; seek unity through concession, and unity will perish."
Wang Gui thought for a moment, then his white eyebrows trembled, and his face suddenly moved.
