"Should I call him brother-in-law, or brother-in-law?"
This problem has always troubled Li Ke.
He originally followed Du He back to Chang'an to rest.
Unexpectedly, I was stumped by this question all of a sudden.
According to Princess Li Yuanshu of Runan, Li Ke should be called brother-in-law Du He.
But according to Princess Li Lizhi of Changle, he should be called brother-in-law Du He.
This is really a daunting problem!
"Also, he is still my teacher. As the saying goes, once a teacher, always a father. Oh, this relationship is completely messed up!" Li Ke said painfully.
Snapped.
Li Ke stood up immediately.
"As a good student of the teacher, how can I embarrass the teacher?"
After that, Li Ke took a few guards and went straight to Jiang Guogong's mansion.
Chen Shuda, Duke of Jiang State, was reading in the backyard. When he heard that King Li Ke of Shu had come to visit, he stood up excitedly and threw the book away: "Oh, it's His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Come on, I'm going to greet you in person. Don't you know? Recently, I've been talking to the King of Shu."
Your Highness had a great conversation. Outsiders say that the King of Shu is a beast, but in my opinion, the King of Shu is well-educated, well-read poetry, and has a calm personality. He is a rare talent! Haha..."
During the time when Du He married the two princesses, Chen Shuda, as the Minister of Rites, was responsible for the management of all matters before and after. During that time, he had a lot of contact with Li Ke.
After careful contact, Chen Shuda discovered that Li Ke was eloquent and of high moral character, which was very different from the rumors outside.
In particular, he was deeply moved when he found that Li Ke cared very much about his family.
Chen Shuda hurried to the gate and welcomed Li Ke into the main hall.
"Your Highness's visit to the humble abode really makes the humble abode shine!" Chen Shuda said excitedly.
Li Ke waved his hand: "Master Chen, there is no need to be polite. I heard that Master Chen likes calligraphy. I have a handwriting of Wang Xizhi. Please accept it."
What?
Wang Xizhi’s authentic work?
Chen Shuda's eyes widened.
But Li Ke took out a piece of yellowed paper from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Shuda.
When Chen Shuda opened it and took a look, he was astonished.
That is a short poem.
But it is Wang Xizhi’s authentic work!
The sharp strokes and flowing water are indeed the work of everyone.
Chen Shuda was so excited that his hands trembled and he said: "Your Highness, you are not rewarded for your merits. I really deserve such a great gift from you!"
Li Ke smiled and said: "Master Chen, you can bear it, so there is no need to be modest... In fact, I have important matters to discuss with you when I come here this time."
"Your Highness, please make it clear!"
Li Ke then said straight to the point: "Master Chen, to tell you the truth, I have fallen in love with your two daughters. I have asked Master Yuan Tiangang to calculate. In a few days, it will be a good day that only happens once in a hundred years.
This king is going to marry your two daughters in a few days. Please hurry up and make arrangements. Although the time is short, the due etiquette must be indispensable. You are the official minister, so you must know better than me. This matter has been decided.
.”
What?
Chen Shuda was startled and thought there was something wrong with his ears.
"Your Highness, you...you want to marry my two daughters?" Chen Shuda asked with a trembling voice.
Li Ke nodded and said carelessly: "Yes, Mr. Chen, I have had a great conversation with you during this period. From your words, I know that your two daughters, Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanyi, are both
She is a well-known talented woman in Chang'an. It must be very interesting for such a woman to accompany me day and night, playing mahjong and fighting landlords. You think so too, right?"
As he spoke, he stared at Chen Shuda with a smile.
Chen Shuda almost vomited blood!
"Your Highness, no... my daughter is young and has not yet reached the age to leave the cabinet. Besides, since ancient times, I have never heard of a prince marrying two daughters of a minister at the same time!" Chen Shuda felt regretful.
He is satisfied with his two daughters.
Therefore, you must praise everyone you meet.
At that time, when Li Ke was making insinuations, he told the truth about Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanyi's situation in detail.
At that time, he just thought that Li Ke was caring about his family affairs, and he was very touched.
Who would have known that the King of Shu's evil deed was actually the idea of his two daughters.
Li Ke listened and said calmly: "Master Chen, this is your fault. Your little daughter Chen Wanyi is fifteen years old this year. She is older than my sister Princess Changle. Now Changle
The princesses are all married, why can’t your daughter do it? Is it possible that your daughter is more valuable than the princess? Besides, what does it mean that there is no prince marrying the minister’s two daughters? My teacher also married two princesses at the same time. You don’t need to say it anymore.
, this is how we will handle this matter, I will go back and make preparations first, you should also prepare quickly, in a word, there should be no less pomp and circumstance!"
With that said, Li Ke walked away.
boom.
boom.
Chen Shuda was so angry that he kept smashing the table, covering his heart and said: "Oh my God, the King of Shu is not a human being. He actually wants to exchange a piece of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy for my two daughters. Is there any justice in heaven?"
The steward next to him suddenly said in surprise: "Master, this poem seems to be a curse."
Chen Shuda hurriedly took the piece of paper and whispered: "Wo Chun!"
"Lying in the darkness and smelling the flowers!"
"The sorrow of lying down is low!"
"If you ask me who I am!"
"Lying on the stone answers the spring green!"
He felt that this poem was a bit nondescript!
The butler stood aside and said: "I am uneducated and my IQ is very low. If you ask me who I am, I am a big stupid ass. Master, isn't this a curse?"
Snapped.
Chen Shuda had a bad feeling.
He lowered his head and took a closer look, and saw a line of small characters below the poem. Only when he got closer could he see it clearly. The content was: In the spring of the eighth year of Zhenguan, Du He wrote to Chang'an.
He almost fainted.
This is not Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy, it was clearly written by Du He!
Although he loves calligraphy, his attainments are not high and he only knows a little bit about it.
Therefore, when Li Ke took out this calligraphy, he just glanced at it and found that it was very similar to the works of Wang Xizhi he had seen before. Coupled with Li Ke's identity, he subconsciously thought it was true.
"The King of Shu is so obsessed with the sun that he can't even bear to show an authentic painting..."
"Prepare your horse, I will enter the palace immediately and report to the Holy One!"
…
"Teacher, I didn't embarrass you! You married two princesses, but I am a prince and cannot marry two princesses, so I will marry the daughters of two ministers. I sneaked into the backyard of Jiang Guo Gong's Mansion a few days ago to see
After all, these two sisters, Chen Wanrong and Chen Wanyi, do have the beauty of a fish sinking into a geese, and the beauty of a flower when the moon is closed. They are really rare beauties in the ages! Teacher, what do you think of me?" Li Ke opened his eyes expectantly.
Looking at Du He, he wanted to be praised.
Du He waved his hands indifferently: "Your Highness, your idea is very good and creative. I only have one sentence. As long as you don't use my name, you can do anything?"
Li Ke shook his head: "Teacher, it's too late. I told Chen Shuda that I am your student. If he doesn't give his daughter to me, you won't let him go!"
