At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 36 The Bright Moonlight Before the Bed

Changsun Sheng untied an emerald green jade pendant from his waist, saying that he wanted to add it to his head. The Changsun Wugou next to him visibly trembled slightly, and Gao Shilian's complexion also changed slightly. He stood up directly, but immediately sat down again. Although he was trying his best to hide it, he could clearly see a trace of uneasiness.

Gao Bufan wondered if there was something mysterious about this jade pendant, so he looked at it with all his eyesight, but unfortunately the position was a bit far away and the angle was not suitable, but he could barely see that it was a round jade pendant. Engraved with a pattern.

Gao Junxian next to him seemed to have realized something, and he was stretching his neck to examine, looking thoughtful.

Yu Wenzhi curled his lips in disdain, and muttered in a low voice: "What kind of broken jade pendant is worth ten taels of silver at most. How can it be compared with 70 taels of gold? Old man Changsun is so stingy, so he has the nerve to take it out?"

At this time, Changsun Sheng smiled and said: "This jade pendant was bestowed by the late emperor. Today there are so many talented people, so I dared to borrow flowers to present Buddha. I hope that there will be many talented people in the Sui Dynasty, and the country will prosper!"

As soon as this remark came out, the audience boiled again, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than the previous wave. After all, although 70 taels of gold are a lot, the things bestowed by the late emperor are even more priceless, which cannot be measured by money at all.

"It turned out to be a gift from the late emperor, can I let the servants see it first?" Gongsun Yingxiu's beautiful eyes flashed.

"There is nothing you can do!" Changsun Sheng smiled and handed the jade pendant to Gongsun Yingxiu, who quickly stood up, slightly bent his left knee, took it with both hands respectfully, and then sat down again to appreciate it carefully.

The workmanship of this jade pendant is very exquisite, the key point is that the pattern engraved on it turned out to be auspicious dragon and phoenix, Gongsun Yingxiu's heart moved, and she subconsciously glanced at the eldest grandson Wugou next to him, who was lowering his head at this time, and seemed a little embarrassed.

"The thing bestowed by the emperor is really ingenious, and my family has eyes." Gongsun Yingxiu returned the jade pendant to Changsun Sheng.

Prefect Lu immediately wanted to go again, and after appreciating it, he glanced at Changsun Cheng thoughtfully, coughed lightly and said, "Imperial gift is too precious, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use it as a lottery, if General Changsun There is nothing suitable for time, so it is better to avoid it."

Changsun Sheng shook his head with a smile and said: "It's okay, this jade pendant was given by the first emperor after the old man returned from his first mission to Turkic, and now the old man is donating it to the rising star of the Sui Dynasty. Presumably the late emperor will not blame him. To be able to become the pillar of the country is to make the best use of everything, and it is not a waste of the painstaking efforts of this general."

Upon hearing the words, Taishou Lu said solemnly: "General Changsun's heart to serve the country with fists and fists is really a model for my generation. I only hope that there will be many talents in the Great Sui Dynasty, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe!"

All the officials at the scene echoed their words one after another, praising General Changsun and Taishou Lu for their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and wishing the Sui Dynasty prosperity and prosperity. The method, who made Sui Emperor Yang Guang love to hear these things, if he doesn't express his opinion today, it may cause trouble if it spreads to Yang Guang's ears in the future.

Well, now we have the lottery, a piece of Duan inkstone used by Taishou Lu, 20 taels of silver from Zhou County Magistrate, 70 taels of gold from Yuwen Brothers, and finally a jade pendant from the imperial court. Double income.

As a result, everyone present felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Even Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng, the two semi-literate ones, tried their best to hold back two doggerel poems and come out to try their luck. It doesn't matter, the key is to want to participate!
Gao Qingyuan naturally doesn't take Gao Shixiong brothers seriously, and of course he doesn't take Gao Bufan seriously, because he himself said he can't write poetry, so Gao Qingyuan regards the remaining Gao Junxian as his biggest competitor.

At this time, Lu Taishou pointed to the bright moon in the sky with a smile and said loudly. Since ancient times, there are countless poems chanting the moon, but there are very few good ones. If you don’t want to use the moon as the topic tonight, please everyone here A talented person composes a poem, and the best one is chosen as the leader. I don't know what you think?
Everyone agreed, after all, among the officials present who could compose poems, Prefect Lu was the biggest official, and among the officials, Prefect Lu was also the best at composing poems, so naturally we had to listen to him!
This prefect Lu probably felt itchy, and he felt uncomfortable if he didn't show off, so he stroked his beard and said, "Since everyone agrees, then I will chant it as a respect first, and I have the right to throw a brick to attract jade."

"When there is a reunion in March and May, the world is full of brilliance. Reminiscing about the people and things in my hometown, one layer is separated by another mountain."

Regardless of whether it was "jade" or "brick" that Prefect Lu threw out, the praise was over anyway, and the flattery was overwhelming for a while, making Prefect Lu feel a little embarrassed when he praised him. In fact, he himself knew it well. Poetry can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, far from brilliant!
Magistrate Zhou was one of the judges, but this guy obviously wanted to show his face, so he sang "Autumn Moon" and won a lot of flattery, but the flatterers were one level lower, most of them were his subordinates .

After the county magistrate Zhou finished reciting the poem, he smiled and said: "Master Lu is throwing jade to attract bricks, and the lower officials are throwing bricks to attract jade. I don't know who here has a good work? You might as well come forward and recite it. I will grind the ink and write it myself."

As soon as the words were finished, Gao Qingyuan, who had already been unable to hold back, immediately stood up and said loudly: "The younger Gao Qingyuan is not talented, and he already has a song called Moonwatching."

Prefect Lu said happily: "The Gao family in Bohai really has a lot of talents, and the young friend from Qingyuan is quick-witted, and he came forward to recite."

Gao Qingyuan immediately left the table and walked forward. He was probably too excited. He tripped over the leg of the stool and almost fell into the mud. Fortunately, a tribesman next to him helped him quickly, otherwise he would make a fool of himself. Brother Gao Shixiong was so happy See teeth but not eyes.

Gao Qingyuan glared at the two of them, took a deep breath to calm down, and walked quickly to the front of the north seat, but the boy's mental quality was indeed not good enough, so he was so nervous that he couldn't speak at this time, and the little boy's face was flushed red!

Seeing this, Yu Wenzhiji laughed strangely and said, "Is it embarrassing for you to come out, but what a fart!"

Gao Qingyuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and calmed down and chanted:
"Tonight is very full, the eternal love of autumn night. Chang'e should not be old, but her temples are pitiful. Recalling the place of cheers, it becomes a sigh. Sadness and joy, the moon is as bright."

Prefect Lu's originally frowning brows suddenly loosened, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Good poems, joys and sorrows, the moon is as bright, these two sentences are especially good, your name is Gao Qingyuan?"

Gao Qingyuan was overjoyed, bowed his hands and said, "My lord, the younger generation is Gaoming, with the name Qingyuan, and he is the queen of Zhao Junwang in the Northern Qi Dynasty." After speaking, he took a peek at Gongsun Yingxiu and eldest grandson Wugou at the main table, but unfortunately the two daughters were Whispering, the attention didn't seem to be on him, so I couldn't help being a little disappointed.

Prefect Lu sent Gao Gaoyuan away with a few more words of encouragement. Gao Ming, who had received the award, went back to his seat and sat down happily, looking as if he had won the prize.

Brothers Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng couldn't bear the limelight the most, they were so upset when they saw this, but unfortunately they couldn't do anything about it, with the level of these two guys, they couldn't even hold back half a limerick.

"Brother Changqing?" Gao Junxian asked with a smile when he saw Gao Bufan drinking wine calmly.

Changsun Wuji looked at Gao Bufan expectantly when he heard the words. Although Gao Bufan said that he could not compose poetry, the word "meet by chance" he casually said before was not only beautiful in words, but also rich in philosophy. If Gao Bufan really doesn't understand Wenmo should not be able to create such a new word.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Indeed!"

"What?" Brother Gao Shixiong lost his voice: "Brother Changqing, didn't you say you can't compose poetry?"

"Young master really can't compose poems, but he can copy poems, and the poems he copied are still very good." Gao Bufan said in his heart, but he said with a smile: "Don't get excited, just listen to me. The moonlight in front of the bed, A pair of shoes on the ground. Lift your head up to drink, and lower your head to panic."

Gao Bufan gulped down the wine in the glass, said with a smile: "Excuse me for a while, I'll go to the toilet first." After speaking, he got up and left the table, and hurried downstairs.

Brother Gao Shixiong was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing, while Gao Junxian and Changsun Wuji couldn't laugh or cry, Gao Qingyuan looked contemptuous!

It is estimated that Brother Gao Shixiong laughed too unrestrainedly, attracting everyone's attention, but these two guys didn't know how to restrain themselves, and continued to laugh so hard.

Prefect Lu frowned and shouted in a low voice: "Those two little friends laughed so heartily, but did they have a shocking work?"

"Haha, it is indeed a world-shocking work...cough, no, there is no world-shocking work!" Gao Shixiong responded casually, and when he found out that the person who asked the question was actually Prefect Lu, he was shocked and shook his head repeatedly to deny it.

Gao Shihong was so angry that he wanted to whip someone with a stick, and these two rams would lose the face of Gao Shi of Bohai.

Prefect Lu probably got a little annoyed, and asked: "Then what were you laughing at just now? If you intentionally make trouble, I will punish you severely!"

Brother Gao Shixiong's eyes widened when he heard that he would be severely punished, but Gao Qingyuan was secretly happy, stood up and said: "Master Taishou, they are not laughing and making trouble for no reason, but the younger brother Gao Changqing wrote a doggerel, They were amused."

Brother Gao Shixiong couldn't help being secretly angry, Gao Qingyuan clearly wanted Brother Changqing to make a fool of himself, he said angrily: "Gaoqingyuan, what nonsense are you talking about, it's clear that we brothers got carried away while chatting, what's the matter with Guan Changqing?"

I have to say that these two brothers are quite loyal!
Gao Junxian obviously felt that Gao Qingyuan was going too far, and secretly winked to stop Gao Qingyuan. After all, everyone belonged to the Gao clan, and any disputes could be resolved internally. There was no need for outsiders to laugh at him. However, Gao Junxian seemed determined to let Gao Bufan made a big embarrassment in front of everyone, and continued to chant loudly: "The moonlight is shining in front of the bed, and a pair of shoes are on the ground. I raise my head to drink the wine, and bow my head to panic. This is the doggerel written by Gao Changqing, the elder brother of the younger generation. I would like to invite Lord Lu to comment on it!" "

All around burst into laughter, and Prefect Lu couldn't laugh or cry, he shook his head and said, "It's just nonsense!"
