Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 154 Storytelling

About love stories.

There are stories about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies circulating in the Central Plains. For example, Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru met each other regardless of family status, background, or circumstances. After breaking through many obstacles, the lovers finally got married.

Legends of warriors spread on the prairie, and stories of warriors and beauties spread.Heroes love beauties, beauties do not marry unless they are kings, heroes are revered by their clansmen, and they also dedicate themselves to their clansmen. In the end, beauties get the reputation of knowing heroes with discerning eyes, and heroes are praised by the whole clan. I am very proud in my heart.

The difference is that the stories that can be handed down on the prairie are full of positive energy, while the romantic figures with long history in the Central Plains often have less pure endings.

Sima Xiangru changed his mind, and countless talents found new loves.That's why people also say that every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are ungrateful.

This is really a bit of a grievance.Whether a person is dedicated or promiscuous has nothing to do with the amount of books he reads, but is closely related to the surrounding environment and the precepts and deeds of his ancestors.

It is more reasonable to explain it as a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix.

What's more, blaming others can't solve the problem, and if you make a wrong choice, you always have to bear the consequences yourself.Or, since you have the courage to choose, you must have the confidence to solve the problem, right?
So Sima Xiangru did not have the determination and ability to abandon his wife in the end.

However, there are very few people who really read books on the grasslands. They prefer listening to books rather than reading books.Once a person understands it, he will tell the story to everyone.

Man'er's admiration for the culture of the Great Zhou stems from the various stories of the people of the Great Zhou, including stories of gifted scholars and beauties, as well as stories of national political struggles.The history of the Great Zhou Dynasty traced back several dynasties can truly be regarded as a show full of heroes of the current situation, with a lot of wisdom and strategies.

Man'er was willing to listen, so he naturally knew the most.Turkic ladies also liked to hear these stories, so Maner told them the stories he had heard.In the aristocratic circle, people like Man Er who have stories to tell are always more popular.

However, after Wu Yanxiu arrived on the scene, Man'er was easily replaced.

Originally, it was just to choose a hairpin style, but Wu Yanxiu could tell many allusions.For example, the plum-blossom hairpin style was loved by Xu Pingjun, the favorite wife of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, so it implies that men will never forget their deep love for women, and then talk about the warmth between Liu Xun and Xu.

Zhang Yang thinks this kid is really cute, especially the favorite of Turkic ladies.

Wu Yanxiu can tell a story about a gifted man and a beautiful woman by choosing a hairpin. The eyes of these noble ladies have changed when they look at these ornaments. Love is such a beautiful word.

Man'er was also listening quietly. He still listened to the story based on the real thing, which was much better than telling the story casually.

If Wu Yanxiu knew that Man'er thought so, she would have to explain it, just because these are love stories.

This nephew of Emperor Wu is really talkative. Reasonably, he should have a bad life in Turkic, but in fact, no one made things difficult for him.No wonder he was sent to Turkic with peace of mind. Speaking of which, this kid is much younger than him, but this mouth makes people dissatisfied.

It seems that everyone present must buy a hairpin each, and the speed of selling out may be accelerated.

The joy of these noble ladies listening to the story made Wu Yanxiu sigh a little, if they were really happier than the people in the story, maybe they would not be so deeply moved.The Turks, like the Great Zhou Dynasty, were also monogamous and had multiple concubines, and special affection was always in the story.

After hearing a lot, Man'er thought about what he had seen, and sighed, "I will definitely marry a husband who will be devoted to me in the future."

Immediately, she was a little disappointed again. She is a Turkic princess. In the future, no matter whether she is married to a Turkic nobleman or a Dazhou nobleman, she may not always be able to have a single-minded person.

Wu Yanxiu fell into deep thought, the Wu family always had to marry other clansmen, many people would send their daughters to him, creating a layer of nepotism, and his father would also keep people for him.

There are layers of transactions behind the marriage of the nobles, and the special feelings cannot chill people's hearts.Acting on every occasion, making a fake show for real, starting in chaos and ending in abandonment, are the stories that happen normally every day.

Therefore, Man'er's words were a little too much for him to accept. He didn't dare to promise the words of his parents and matchmaker easily.Filial piety is his first righteousness.

Wu Yanxiu didn't speak, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, Zhang Yang bravely went into battle in person.

Although he is a businessman, he is different from businessmen who don't read much. He thinks he is capable of telling stories.

"This beautiful little girl, there are people like this in the world. The most lively event in Luoyang City recently is the birth of Princess Taiping's second son. I heard that the son-in-law is a very devoted person. She loves her wife He said on the spot that having a child is too hard, and he will not have any heirs in the future. In order to seek this marriage, he went to the palace many times at night, and it took a lot of luck to get what he wanted."

Man'er was speechless. He had heard this story many times, but this was the first time it was told so boringly.Sure enough, a businessman is a businessman, and he cannot be compared with a scholar.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhang Yang knew it was better to be quiet, so he stopped talking.

The noble ladies who had never heard of this matter began to discuss after hearing these few words.

"How can you be so nonsense, isn't the Central Plains the most particular about inheritance from offspring? This is unfilial."

"I heard that the son-in-law over there needs the consent of the princess to accept concubines. Which son-in-law has a bad background."

Talking about everything.

Man'er interrupted them, "Brother Wu is the cousin of that princess, let's listen to him."

Man'er looked interested in listening to the story, Wu Yanxiu stopped hesitating and worrying, and told these people about the past.

"Let's talk about the son-in-law first. His surname is Shen and his name is Sanwen. He was born in a family of fourth-rank officials. He is handsome, kind-hearted, suave, and knowledgeable. He has traveled to Kyushu. His Majesty Zhou praised this talent many times. The acquaintance of Di Renjie, the first virtuous minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who recognized talent with his eyes, and his knowledge of the law from the crowd..."

……

Naturally, Wu Yanxiu didn't make it public to understand the inside story, but what Wu Yanxiu said was intertwined and more interesting.

From Di Renjie recommending his talent to His Majesty, to when the two meet at Emperor Wu's place, they start arguing over a trivial matter and Shen Sanwen is willing to bow down.Then Shen Sanwen went to the princess mansion many times to ask for an interview. The two admired each other secretly and affectionately, and Lang Youqing concubine was interested.Then the late emperor intended to marry another, and Shen Sanwen couldn't wait to introduce a beautiful woman to Xue Shao...

In short, what Wu Yanxiu told was really just a story.

Not fact.

But these people love to listen.The introduction of the characters is full, the plot is compact and fascinating.Sometimes when he stopped, the ladies' hearts were in their throats, and they urged anxiously, as if they would never let him go until they finished listening to the story today.

People are really different from person to person.If you don't know how to tell stories, you really can't go into battle easily. At least, people don't want to listen to you anymore, and at worst, people don't want to listen to this story anymore. You can afford to die from poisoning.

Sometimes the day is fast, sometimes it is short, depending on the difficulty of the things you do, and the lightness and heavyness of your mood.

These noble ladies are very happy today, so the time passes quickly.

I believe they will also need spiritual food from Wu Yanxiu in the next period of time.
