Song Lingwen was born in a poor family, but he aspired to become a master. Therefore, he not only read poetry and books diligently, but also learned to practice 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 famous, 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 face was white and slightly fat. His smiling appearance made him look more like a businessman who was amiable 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.
The Five Blessings have already appeared. When the Sui Dynasty overthrew the Southern Dynasty, our ancestors took our children and grandchildren and migrated to Chang'an. We did not return to our ancestral homeland of Lanling for many years."
The words are quite sad.
From the chaotic wars in the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the rise of the Sui Dynasty and then to its demise, this less than a hundred years can be regarded as the most turbulent era in the Central Plains. During this period, how many heroes rose up, how many nobles fell, how many heroes met with each other, and how many people were displaced?
Even the Xiao family, a wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, still does not take care of its 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 rebel!
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 courtesy at the banquet is really unnecessary. 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 impromptu poems and Feihua's order. How can those elegant methods be so vulgar?"
Xiao Deyan laughed and said: "Your Highness, is it possible that you want to harm us? Erlang's poetry talent is unparalleled in the world. If he can compose poems impromptu, we can't catch him. And it is already a severe winter, but there are no flowers to send orders. Du Changshi suggested something.
good."
Li Tai nodded and said, "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 all 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 went back to pay homage to Sun Kang. When he arrived at Sun's house, he saw Sun Kang standing leisurely in the courtyard and asked, 'Why don't you study?' Sun Kang sighed and said, 'I don't think it's snowing today.'"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Reading in Nang Ying and reading in Ying Xue were originally an elegant thing spread among the people. The two of them were also famous for their studiousness. However, according to the King of Wei, they did not study during the day but went to catch fireflies and waited for night to catch fireflies.
When it comes to reading, the other one is even worse. He has to wait until it snows before reading in the snow. Normally, he actually stands in the courtyard waiting for the snow...
Everyone laughed, so everyone drank together, except Li Tai.
However, Li Tai was good at winning people's hearts, so he naturally didn't know how to 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 born." The man asked in astonishment, "Please tell me, did your ancestor grow up well in the future?"
Everyone laughed again, raised their glasses and drank.
How stupid this person is. If the ancestor of my friend was not brought up, 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.
He is ten years old. How can he be allowed to marry this old son-in-law? When his wife heard about it, she 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?"
The family is illiterate...
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 had a good drinker. What surprised him was that Xiao Deyan, who was fair and fat, had the same expression as him. Song Lingwen had the worst wine and a poor drinker. His face turned red after drinking, and Fang Jun said something dirty.
Frowning 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, "The sex basin is here. I want you to perform sex orders, not wine orders." The husband said, "Yes." Then he untied his trousers and brought out a tool to put them on, but the thing was not hard. The wife was older.
He said: 'If the officer fails to raise the bar, he should be punished with a cup of wine.' Hahahaha..."
The color basin is a device used for drinking, similar to the dice thrown in later generations...
After saying this, Song Lingwen laughed to himself.
But in the full house, no one 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 a child and became inhumane. Now he is nearly half a century old and has no children or even a concubine. The reason why he is willing to remain anonymous in the Palace of Wei is probably because of this matter.
The psychological shortcomings caused...
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 it on character problems so superficially.
He could tell that Song Lingwen's eyes towards Du Chuke were rather strange, 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 didn't 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 accept defeat and drink."
I drank four cups in one go, but I felt very happy.
King Li Tai of Wei kept wooing him, and he was happy to join the big tree of King Wei. He believed that he had outstanding talents, and the reason why he was just a mere lieutenant general now was because of the limitations of his family background. He had no roots under his feet and no one in the court.
Just people.
I am proficient in bow and horse, and I am well-read. Which of my immediate superiors can compare with me? It’s just because they have a good family background and caught up with the good times of the founding of the Tang Dynasty that they are in high positions.
.
As long as he can climb the towering tree of His Majesty King Wei, who else can suppress his rise?
The General of the Guards 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 would slander him from time to time, saying how frivolous his character was and how flawed his moral character was, but King Wei trusted him very much. Damn! He is just an inhumane useless person, relying on the reputation of his ancestors and elder brothers, who has the right to say anything about me?
?
Today I am going to humiliate you in front of everyone, how can you still have the face to be arrogant in front of me? Your Royal Highness, King Wei, has countless scholars and scholars, who are you Du Chuke? But there are not many people in charge of the military like me, even if I insult and
You, His Highness the King of Wei, will certainly not blame you.
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..."
