Chapter 771
Li Jiao, Du Shenyan and Cui Rong were able to see Xue Shao, and they wished they could use all their solutions in an instant to win Xue Shao's favor.
The three of them obviously made an appointment. Not long after entering Wang Yu's house, they clamored to ask Wang Yu to arrange a game Qushui Liushang.
This is an ancient and elegant game, usually held in March. Three or five literary friends sat by the canal, letting the wine in the cup flow down from the upstream. Whoever the cup falls in front of him can get the wine to drink and write a poem.
Li Jiao and the other three proposed to play this game, which was nothing wrong with them because they were all great scholars. However, when they made such a request in front of Xue Shao, they obviously felt deliberately showing off. &nb sp;Wang Yu had to satisfy him when he asked. Just as he was about to set off to arrange the program, Xue Shao stood up, "Wang Yu, it's not too early. The princess and I will go home first."
Everyone was shocked, so Wang Yu naturally did not dare to keep him, so he had to send him out of the mansion.
Li Jiao and others were extremely disappointed and were stunned.
After Wang Yu sent the guest back, Li Jiao hurriedly asked Wang Yu, "Yaoqing (Wang Yu's name is a name), did Prince Xue leave like this?"
"There are so many noble people who have important things, how dare you stay with me?" Wang Yuting said regretfully.
"He... seems to be intentionally neglecting the three of us?" Li Jiao expressed his concerns among the three of them.
"I don't know this, probably not..." Wang Yu didn't dare to say all the words.
Li Jiao blinked a few times and whispered: "Sister Ling and Princess Taiping are in good condition. Can you ask Sister Ling to help us inquire?"
"This..." Wang Yu looked at the side with a puzzled look on his face. Shangguan Wan'er was sitting there talking to Wang Yu's parents.
"If you really make a difficult situation, that's fine." Li Jiao sighed, "It's a pity that we are so lucky that we have no chance to get to know the noble person."
"Okay, I'll go and talk to my sister." Wang Yu reluctantly agreed. Although he was not very happy, he was a guest at the door, and Wang Yu didn't want to keep people from thousands of miles away to embarrass them.
"Thank you Brother Yaoqing!" Li Qiao bowed and bowed.
Wang Yu came to Shangguan Wan'er and briefly told her about Li Jiao's request. Seeing Wang Yu talking about the serious matter with Shangguan Wan'er, Wang Yu's parents were very tactful and found an excuse and left first.
Shangguan Wan'er smiled after hearing this, "Call the three of them!"
"yes!"
Li Jiao and the other three arrived in front of Shangguan Wan'er together, and worshipped, and did not dare to move their eyes respectfully. Although the talented man has always loved beautiful women, Shangguan Wan'er's current identity is really too special. If they show it with a slight rude behavior, it would be purely a rhythm of death.
"The three think that Mr. Xue intends to neglect you?" Shangguan Wan'er straightforwardly.
Li Jiao hurriedly bowed and replied, "I would like to ask Shangguan Cairen for advice."
"I dare not take the advice." Shangguan Wan'er said lightly, "You don't understand Prince Xue."
"What's the solution?" Li Jiao asked quickly.
Shangguan Wan'er said: "Although Mr. Xue is of all-round talent in literature and martial arts, his talent in poetry and prose is not lower than that of you three. But Mr. Xue is a diligent and pragmatic person. He doesn't like to spend great time on singing the wind and the moon and playing with the destruction. At least now, he is like this."
This sentence awakened Li Jiao and others. Because in their impression, Xue Shao was once a big playboy who loved the romance and loves the romance. Otherwise, where did the name of the young master of Lantian come from? But time has changed, and now he is the "country" Xue Zi, so where can he get the time to accompany a few idle essays to play with the Qushui Liushang here?
"Thank you Shangguan Cairen for his advice, Li Jiao thanks!"
"No need to be polite." Shangguan Wan'er smiled, "The Prince Xue has always been a loving talent. In recent years, he has recommended and promoted countless civil and military officials. The literature includes Yao Yuanchong, the Minister of the Xia Office, Song Jing, the Censor of the Luoyang Order, and Liu Youqiu and Su Wei Dao from the Xiazhou Governor's Office, etc. Not to mention the military generals, the generals of the Shuofang Army are like heroes, and Xue Na, Hebei has become a famous general in the border area. There are more Prince Xue's former commanders in the Imperial Army."
"Yes, Mr. Xue has become a master of martial arts and a generation of outstanding people!" Li Jiao and others felt itchy when they heard it. So many people have developed with Xue Shao. When will it be our turn?
Shangguan Wan'er has been following Wu Zetian for so long and has already developed a pair of Ruju's wisdom eyes that can see through other people's hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys. She really knows what the three little literati were thinking in her heart.
So she said: "Mr. Xue loves talents, but she prefers talents with skills and those who can do practical things."
These words stimulated Li Jiao and others on the spot. The three of them looked at each other as if saying, "We all know how to recite poems and essays, what should we do?"
"It should be considered a skill to be good at singing and essays!" Shangguan Wan'er said, "If you can make good use of these poems, essays, songs, and essays."
Shangguan Wan'er's sentence completely awakened Li Jiao and others to recite poems and essays, but it is not a good idea to ask you to write a few poems for Xue Shao to appreciate, or to show off frivolously in front of him. You can use your poems, essays, songs and essays to serve Xue Shao, which is also a skill!
I understand!
These two big words were printed in the minds of Li Jiao and the other three at the same time. The three of them were grateful and bowed to Shangguan Wan'er again and again, and even Shangguan Wan'er shook her head and laughed.
"You three are all appointed officials of the court, so you don't have to bow to me again and again." Shangguan Wan'er said, "There is something I have to remind you that Prince Xue, like you, is also appointed officials of the court."
After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er turned around and walked towards the inner room.
Li Jiao and others were stunned. What explanation would she explain?
The three of them had a long time to figure out what Shangguan Wan'er said, "You want to benefit from Prince Xue's glory," which is not impossible. But don't do anything too outrageously and frivolously, especially you can't claim that Xue Shao is his master, because the most taboo thing in the court is to join the gang and the sect. There is another meaning: Xue Shao is the official of the court and the empress dowager's confidant. This "big direction" must not be mistaken!
"Although this Shangguan Cairen is not very old, his heart is like a mirror and a wise bead. Every word is lying on the beads but it is not easy!" Li Jiao and others were amazed.
On the way home, Princess Taiping and Xue Shao took the same car.
Princess Taiping thought about some things for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Xue Lang, today Li Jiao and the other three are clearly for you. Why do you keep people from thousands of miles away? No matter what, they are also great talents in the capital. Even if you don't want to get close to them, you don't have to damage their face in public, right?"
"I didn't want to keep people from thousands of miles away. I just didn't have time to drink and write poems with them." Xue Shao said calmly, "In the past, when I led the troops, I was a hundred soldiers with hundreds of soldiers. This one loves to play with birds and the other loves to fight dogs. Could it be that I would play with them all, even if I got close to you?"
Princess Taiping was slightly stunned, "It's true... Qushui Liushang, who has the time to have that leisure time?"
"If they want to get close to me, they have to show some advantages that I can use." Xue Shao smiled, "Although Mr. Xue is very rich, he never raises useless people."
"You are so beautiful!" Princess Taiping was immediately amused, "You are just a big loser, where can you have money?"
The couple laughed and got home unknowingly. Just as they were about to get off the bus, they heard someone at the door of Princess Taiping’s mansion arguing.
"Let me in, I want to see Prince Xue!" A rough man's voice was loud.
"Can you see Prince Xue just want to see?" The guards of the Imperial Guards sent by Wu Zetian were always majestic and shouted angrily: "Go away quickly, otherwise you will catch the general and throw it to the government and sentence you to a serious crime of striking the royal family's mansion!"
"I am an old acquaintance of Prince Xue, I have something to do with him!" The man refused to leave, and was quite stubborn.
"Looking at your face, you look fierce and have no greetings or recommendations, how can you let you in?" the guard shouted, "Go away quickly, or I'll really catch someone!"
Xue Shao walked a few steps away from the car and looked at the door. The man was extremely tall and burly, almost a head taller than the Royal Guards in front of him. These Royal Guards usually serve as guards of honor, and their height and body shape are better than ordinary people, but compared with that rash man, they are like children.
However, this man looked a little ill and Xue Shao didn't know him.
"What's the noise?" Xue Shao shouted softly.
The guards of the Imperial Guards hurriedly bowed, "Mr. Xue, this person insists on breaking into the mansion. We have to stop him but refuse to retreat."
The man turned around and looked at Xue Shao with an expression of ecstasy, "Mr. Xue, please let me find you!"
Xue Shao looked at it carefully and it looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen him. He looked at his appearance, probably because he had just experienced a long journey, covered in smoke and dust, and was not easy to identify his face.
"Duan Feng is down!" The man looked at Xue Shao with longing and excitement, and bowed with fists, "A Xi Tiger Master, the one Duan Feng had been captured by General Xue Chuyu in Suizhou? Mr. Xue, have you remembered it?"
"Duan Feng? He is known as the Anxi Tiger, the number one general under General Wang?" Xue Shao's eyes lit up, and he was now on the spot and laughed, "Are you not afraid of others making fun of yourself in front of everyone?"
"What's wrong with this?" Duan Feng grinned, "If you lose, you lose, and you're convinced. Besides, it's so embarrassing to lose to General Yu Guan!"
Xue Shao laughed, "Why are you here in Luoyang?"
"After the next journey, six of the horses that came from Anxi Gongyue City, were riding dead. I will only look for Prince Xue." Duan Feng said with his fists.
Xue Shao was curious and was about to ask, Princess Taiping came forward and said, "Xue Lang, why are you standing at the door and talking to the guest?"
"Yes, please come to the mansion and give it a lecture."
When Duan Feng saw Princess Taiping, he quickly took two steps back and bowed to his subordinates, "Duan Feng, pay homage to Princess Taiping!"
Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Do you know me?"
"I don't know the princess words." Duan Feng replied with his fist and lowered his head, "But I guess that if you can be with Prince Xue and be so glorious and noble, the country is so beautiful, it should be His Highness!"
"Interesting." Princess Taiping smiled and said, "Xue Lang, this Duan Feng is good. You must treat others well and don't lose the friendship of the landlord!"
Xue Shao also smiled, "I know, I know."
After saying that, Princess Taiping entered the mansion first.
Duan Feng hurriedly said, "Mr. Xue, another man met me halfway and said he was going to come to Luoyang to find Mr. Xue, so we walked together. But he just hid again."
"Hide?" Xue Shao was curious, "Why did he hide?"
"I don't know." Duan Feng said quickly, "By the way, he should be under the old subordinate of Prince Xue. He has the same big guy and big appetite as his subordinate, and even his punches and feet skills are comparable. His name is Li Tieshi!"
"Li Tieshi? Niu Bi? How could you, the tiger and the lion, get together?" Xue Shao said in surprise, "It's weird, didn't I leave him as a general in Shuofang? Why did you run to Luoyang?"
Duan Feng seemed to have a sudden realization, "I think this may be the reason why he hides."
Xue Shao took two deep breaths, probably knowing why Niu Ben came to Luoyang, so he yelled softly, "Guo An!"
"exist!"
"Looking for Luoyang, it was wrong to find that big stupid cow for me, it was tied up!"
"yes!"
"Don't, don't look for it, don't tie it up!" Niu Ben flashed out of the alley next to him, as embarrassed and timid as a young wife who was caught and raped on the bed, "Aren't I here?"
