Chapter 419: A group of guys who don’t understand appreciation
Funing nodded, then smiled playfully, and asked Liu Lang: "By the way, Brother Prince, Funing seemed to have interrupted the Chaixian man when he came in just now. Seeing the Chaixian man acting like that, he couldn't be thinking, right?"
Liu Lang suddenly smiled, glanced at Chai Yan, and said, "Writing poetry? You praise him too much, haha..."
After laughing, Liu Lang said: "I asked a man from Chaixian County to read a poem praising plum blossoms, but he resisted and haggle over the price! Finally he agreed to read the last sentence, no, he said just one word, Funing, you can
Coming..."
Princess Funing said with a smile: "Brother Prince, then it is quite a coincidence that Funing came... Come on, come on, Mr. Chaixian County, you can continue reading, I also want to hear it.
listen......."
After saying that, Princess Funing blinked and looked at Chai Yan.
Chai Yan secretly asked, do you, a little girl, understand poetry? You just came here to join in the fun...
Liu Lang also said: "Chai Yan, continue reading."
Chai Yan glanced at the kite, then raised his chest again, raised his head, and clasped his hands behind his waist. After a slight pause, he said loudly: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."
This poem comes from the Diligent Chapter of "Warning to the World's Virtues". The upper part is "If you have fields and don't plow the barns, your descendants will be foolish. If you have books and don't read them, your descendants will be foolish."
It is a famous and widely circulated saying.
But Chai Yan has not paid attention to the origin of the poem, and he has never explored it in depth. He only remembers it because it often appears in novels, on the Internet, and in friends circles, so it has become the only poem that can be thought of at the moment.
Plum poem.
"The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold..."
Liu Lang recited it repeatedly in a low voice while thinking about the origin of these two lines of poetry.
"My beloved concubine, have you ever heard this poem?" Liu Lang asked softly.
Zhao Li frowned slightly and shook her head to express that she had never heard of it. The moment Chai Yan finished reading the poem, she, like the prince, was also thinking about who the original author of the poem was.
But after thinking for a long time, neither of them could figure out which literati wrote this poem.
"Brother Prince, is the poem he recited good or bad?"
Although Princess Funing usually reads and practices calligraphy in the palace, things like poetry are still a bit too profound for a child of her age.
Liu Lang nodded and explained: "Fu Ning, the metaphor of this poem is very good... It tells us that if we want to have precious qualities and beautiful talents, we need continuous hard work, exercise, and overcoming huge difficulties to achieve them.
of!"
Zhao Li also nodded, agreeing with her husband's understanding.
Yuan is a martial arts practitioner. Although she doesn't understand poetry, she understood the prince's explanation, especially the sentence "The sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening". As a sword practitioner, she felt deeply!
Seeing this situation, Yuanyuan was also happy for Chai Yan, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Liu Lang couldn't think of the source, so he asked: "Chai Yan, which book did you read such a good poem?"
"Back to your highness, Chai Yan didn't read it from the book..." Chai Yan replied.
Funing was surprised when he heard it. He looked at Chai Yan and asked, "Could it be that you wrote this poem?"
Before Chai Yan could say anything, Liu Lang shook his head first and said, "How is it possible that he can compose poems with such a clueless mind? Even a cook wouldn't believe it!"
Zhao Li felt that Liu Lang's words were inappropriate, so she touched her husband lightly: "Your Highness, look at what you said..."
After being reminded, Liu Lang also came to his senses. Speaking of Chai Yan in front of everyone, especially in front of Jimoyou, was indeed a bit disrespectful. After all, Chai Yan had saved himself twice.
Liu Lang quickly softened his tone and said, "Chai Yan, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Princess Funing was stunned. It was the first time she saw the prince brother speaking in this manner. It seemed that the prince brother really valued Chai Yan.
"Your Highness, you are absolutely right. I really don't know how to compose poems. Just this sentence, I struggled to think of it. It's all thanks to my teacher!" Chai Yan sighed with emotion.
Liu Lang immediately became interested and asked curiously: "Chai Yan, are you saying this poem was written by your master?"
Chai Yan shook his head blankly and said: "Your Highness, I'm not sure if it was written by his family teacher, but I am sure that he was the only one who read it."
Liu Lang was instantly sure that the original author of this poem was definitely Chai Yan's master.
Then, Liu Lang said with great regret: "It's a pity that your master is no longer in this world. Otherwise, I must meet this master and ask him for advice."
Chai Yan just nodded but said nothing. He knew that he could not continue to talk about the topic of "teacher". If you talk too much, you will make many mistakes!
Suddenly, Liu Lang remembered something and asked: "Chai Yan, do you remember that you just said you wanted to sing... Why, is it also a song about plum blossoms?"
Chai Yan said with a smile: "Your Highness, didn't I read the poem just now? Can we forget about singing..."
"I want to hear it now, do you want to sing?" Liu Langcai didn't care about so much, he just wanted to enjoy the plum blossoms today to be lively and fun.
Princess Funing didn't expect this to happen, so she shouted to Chai Yan: "Sing, sing, sing, you must sing! I want to hear it too... Sing quickly!"
Princess Funing prefers singing as entertainment to reciting poems.
Zhao Li covered her mouth and snickered. In fact, she was also curious about what song Chai Yan would sing.
Yuan also smiled and said: "Since everyone wants to listen, you can only sing a few lines. Who told you to keep talking just now..."
Chai Yan said happily: "Okay then, I'll just sing a few lines...cough cough cough..."
As he spoke, Chai Yan cleared his throat exaggeratedly.
After a short moment of silence, Chai Yan suddenly sang loudly:
"One~Cut the cold plum blossoms...stand proudly in the snow~just for...my beloved...to spread the fragrance..."
"Love~ My love, no regrets..."
"This feeling...will stay...in my heart..."
Chai Yan sang the famous song "One Cut Plum", but this style was not acceptable to the people present. Everyone looked at Chai Yan in confusion.
Seeing everyone looking at him with surprised eyes, Chai Yan also stopped singing, scratched his head and asked: "What's wrong with you, don't you sound good?"
After a brief silence, laughter suddenly erupted in the Octagonal Pavilion...
Not only them, but even Shangguan Peining, who had been silent all this time, was made to laugh, and kept laughing at Chai Yan's singing in his mind.
Especially Princess Funing, she laughed so hard that she burst into tears.
"Hahahaha... Chai Yan, you... you also call this a song? It's too ugly... Hahaha..."
Liu Lang was so happy that he finally suppressed his laughter and said: "Chai Yan...Isn't it right? I shouldn't have asked you to sing...Pfft, hahaha...
."
Looking at Zhao Li and Yuan, they were both covering their mouths and laughing.
Chai Yan curled his lips and thought to himself: Hey, what a bunch of guys who don’t understand appreciation!
