Carefree Scholar

Chapter 177: Greedy ink bounty?

Views:

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. What happened at the banquet at Prince Ning's Mansion last night was spread among literati and officials the next day.

Of course, a large part of the reason why the news spread so quickly was because of the phrase "Forcibly expressing sorrow for new words", which caused countless talented people to be shot in the knee.

After hearing this poem, some talented scholars look at their previous proud works, and their faces turn red with all kinds of melancholy revealed between the words. After hiding it, they will never show it to others easily.

Living in the affluent Jiangnan, the present world is stable, the years are quiet, and there is nothing to do, reciting poems and writing lyrics, this is the elegant life of a literati.

However, without enough experience, it is impossible to write good poems. They read books all day long, hold poetry meetings, and go to brothels and brothels to experience the sufferings of the people when they are interested. In order to write poetry, it can only be "forced to express sorrow".

Moaning without illness and expressing sorrow without worry has invisibly increased the exaggerated style of poetry in the Jiangnan literary circle.

However, even though everyone is well aware of this, they will not point it out. After all, in order to write the first poem, you can’t have to go to the border to experience the situation of guarding the border and experience the pain of the death of the country...

And this sentence "Forcibly expressing sorrow for new words" is like a slap in the face, reminding them to face the reality, I am afraid that from now on, when someone writes such poems again , You have to weigh it in your heart, whether there is a suspicion of "strongly expressing sorrow".

With the popularity of this poem, it swept across brothels and brothels everywhere, and was heard by more people. Over time, the flamboyant style of the entire poetry circle has actually diminished. Of course, these are all things for later.

At this time, the "culprit" who caused this incident was lying on a rocking chair in his yard enjoying warm wind.

Li Yi is very free, and hasn't visited the shop for several days.

Ruyilu and spirits brought a lot of profits every day, most of which came from the share of the palace. Ruyifang's business was better than before, but its proportion in the total income was getting smaller and smaller.

If he was the only one, he might close the shop and wait to collect the money, but Ruyifang is related to the livelihood of many people in the village. They are willing to do it, and Li Yi is also happy to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

He has been waiting for Jinshan these days.

Counting the days, the emperor should have returned to the palace long ago. The reward he said that night should be worthwhile, right

A hundred acres of fertile land, a hundred bolts of silk, and of course the most important thing is the ten thousand taels of gold. When will it take

Thinking that so much money was rushing towards him, Li Yi's desire to make money became even smaller.

Lying on the rocking chair, some parts of my body are still slightly sore, which is due to the excessive practice in the past two days.

The grumpy sister-in-law can't be messed with. Didn't she accidentally see her washing her bellyband in the yard two days ago? Do you need to take revenge like this

If I hadn't asked Ruyi to massage her a few times with her unique technique, I'm afraid she would still be trembling when she walks.

A burst of chaotic voices came from outside the door suddenly. The courtyard door was not closed. Two white-faced, beardless men with cold and arrogant expressions pushed the door in. Li Yi looked up and saw the two eunuchs who looked familiar. He couldn't help but feel happy.

Here comes the money giver.

"It must have been hard for you two to come from afar. Would you like to go in and have a cup of tea?" This time, Li Yi's attitude towards the two was completely different from before, and he was extremely enthusiastic.

After all, this time people are here to give money, and they can't get along with anyone, and they can't get along with gold.

Li Yi's attitude also stunned the two eunuchs, who were a little flattered.

It's only been a few days, and the attitude has changed so much that the two of them are not used to it.

But at any rate, they got a smile this time, and the cold faces of the two of them softened a little, and their tone was much softer than last time, and they said: "Your Majesty has an order, County Lieutenant Li, accept the order."

Xiaohuan was taken down the mountain by Sister Ruyi to go shopping. Li Yi was the only one at home. When the two eunuchs entered the village just now, there must have been a lot of commotion. Looking outside, many people were curious. looking inside.

What happened to the uncle of Ruyi's family? It's only been a few days, why is there another imperial decree

Counting their ancestors for generations, they probably haven't seen the imperial decree once, but now they have met twice in a few days. Although the imperial decree is not for them, they will have something to brag about when they go out in the future.

I have knelt before the imperial decree. The imperial decree is a rare thing. Have you ever seen it

So, before Li Yi knelt down, he knelt outside the door first.

"Anxi County Lieutenant Li Yi created the method of 'cardiopulmonary resuscitation'..."

An eunuch began to read the imperial decree with a blank face. The imperial decree did not mention Li Yi's meritorious service in saving the car. After all, the emperor also sneaked out this time, so it should not be too ostentatious. It was Li Yi who contributed the cardiopulmonary resuscitation technique. The reason, I have said a lot of compliments, but I haven't touched the point yet.

"...have merits of a hundred generations, grant a hundred pieces of silk, a hundred acres of fertile land, and reward ten thousand gold, what a blessing!"

After the eunuch finished reading, Li Yi couldn't wait to accept the imperial decree, and said in his mouth, "Thank you for your grace!"

After completing a set of formal procedures, the next step is naturally what Li Yi is most looking forward to.

The accompanying guards moved piles of silk cloth into the yard. The title deed Li Yi also saw it with his own eyes. However, when all the guards returned to their original positions and stopped moving things home, Li Yi Yi has yet to see the Wanjin he's been waiting for for so long.

"Where's Wan Jin?" Li Yi looked at one of the eunuchs and said.

Could it be that they forgot

"It's over there." The eunuch pointed to a rather gorgeous box in the middle of the silk cloth, and said.

Li Yi looked at the box, and an idea came to his mind involuntarily.

Are you fucking kidding me

How does this little broken box look like it can hold ten thousand taels of gold

He ran over to open the box and saw copper coins lying inside.

"This is Wan Jin?" Li Yi asked with some doubts.

"This is Wanjin, nothing less." The eunuch nodded and said.

Li Yi was stunned for a while, and when he looked up again, he looked at the eunuch with a somewhat unfriendly look.

"You two are a bit too unkind. These copper coins are worth a tael of gold at most. Where did you hide my gold? Let me tell you, I know you very well, Mr. Chang..."

Li Yi was very angry, even if the two of them secretly withheld dozens or even hundreds of taels of gold, he wouldn't care about it, after all, they should pay for their hard work when they came all the way here.

But when the ten thousand taels of gold were delivered, there was only such a pile of copper coins left, which is too black-hearted!

This little money, the old Fang is not rare now, right

When the two eunuchs heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. Could it be that Li Xianwei thought... ten thousand gold is ten thousand taels of gold

If this is the case, I am afraid that His Majesty will reward you a few more times, and the treasury will be emptied...
