The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 101 Fireworks Festival

Everyone didn't go to Zixiao Temple, the most suitable place to watch the fireworks is Tianranju.

When the restaurant was first built, the scenery was considered. The side facing the small square is full of large windows, and the scenery of the square is unobstructed when standing upstairs.

Under the guidance of Sun Simiao, the group headed towards Tianranju.

When he walked to the door, Li Shimin stopped to look at the couplet on the door, and said with a smile: "How many people have matched this couplet?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are 32 people who have written on this couplet at the door, and five of them are recognized as the best." Chen Jingke stood up with his little son in his arms and replied:

"The couplets in it were left with fewer words, only 15 people, and two are recognized as the best."

Li Shimin glanced at the well-behaved little son, suppressed his jealousy, and said, "Oh, there are so many? It seems that my literary style in the Tang Dynasty is also showing signs of its peak."

Naturally, everyone couldn't do without some compliments, such as His Majesty's wise words.

Li Shimin smiled and said: "These two couplets are absolute, and those who can come up with the right ones must be people with real talents and real learning. Give me their list later, and I will personally investigate their knowledge."

Chen Jingke said: "Here."

The emperor personally interviewed, as long as it is not a real idiot, he can get an official position, which is almost equivalent to appointing an official on the spot.

The people watching from a distance suddenly became excited, and there was another chance to become famous.In the future, if I have nothing to do, I will come to Tianranju more often. Maybe one day such luck will fall on me.

Many people are annoyed that they had the opportunity to leave their names before.

Some are aloof, and some are disdainful of the gimmick of natural home. In short, due to various reasons, they did not leave a name and missed this opportunity in vain.

If they have watched Journey to the West, they will definitely resonate with the classic line of Supreme Treasure: Once...

Today, Tianranju deliberately closed for a day, just for this New Year's Eve.

The inside has also been carefully arranged, canceling the rigid table and chair arrangement before, and imitating the style of modern dance salons.

Meals, snacks, fruits, and drinks are all placed on one side of the hall, while tables and chairs are placed in corners.It's pretty much the same except there's no ballroom dancing.

So after entering the door, everyone was surprised to see this kind of decoration.

Li Shimin asked Chen Jingke directly: "Is this another ghost idea of ​​yours? Tell me, what's the point?"

Chen Jingke said with a smile: "Today is to celebrate New Year's Day. It would be too boring to be so serious and rigid. Your Majesty and Empress should also have fun with the people, so I changed it to the current look."

"Everyone can move around freely, find a corner where there is no one to chat with whoever they want to talk to, and go find someone else after the chat."

"Get what you want to eat, take what you like, take as much as you can eat, and continue to do what you want to do after eating."

Speaking of which, he blinked his eyes and said, "Actually, this method is more suitable for unmarried gentlemen and young ladies. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Haha..." Li Shimin laughed loudly, and said, "You're the only one with a lot of nonsense, but don't forget that etiquette cannot be broken. If I take the lead in violating the etiquette law, how can I use the etiquette law to restrain others?"

Just when everyone thought he would object, the conversation changed: "But I agree with your last sentence. In the past, every family would use the method of literary meeting or outing to let unmarried men and women meet from a distance."

"But what kind of understanding can you get from such a hasty side? Private contacts are afraid of being known and affecting your reputation."

"This kind of banquet is not bad. It allows them to get in touch with each other and talk, but it won't be a big deal in public."

But obviously not everyone agrees with this method, but most people see that Li Shimin agrees, so they don't say anything more.

There are also a small number of people who can't get sand in their eyes, such as Wei Zheng, who stood up and said, "Your Majesty, as you just said, etiquette cannot be broken."

"Marriage matters have been the orders of parents and matchmakers since ancient times. How can they be disobeyed at will. If everyone in the world follows suit, the collapse of rituals and music will be in sight."

When I saw him, Li Shimin got dizzy for a while, this is a real troll, sometimes he can't help it.

At this time, Chen Jingke retorted: "Wei Xiang's remark is wrong. Allowing unmarried men and women to contact in advance does not conflict with the parents' order and matchmaker's words, but it is a supplement to this kind of etiquette."

Wei Zheng knew that he dared to argue with Falin, so he didn't treat him as an ordinary boy, and said very seriously: "Oh, I don't know how to supplement it? I would like to hear about it."

Chen Jingke felt his hands were sore and wanted to put Xiao Si down, but Li Shimin subconsciously wanted to pick it up.However, the little girl hugged Chen Jingke's neck and didn't let go at all, making Li Shimin's teeth itchy.

People around either looked down to count the textures on the floor, or looked up to count the beams, or looked around and pretended not to know anything.

Li Chengqian and other juniors felt that it was a novelty, and they didn't expect that Aye, who was wise and mighty, would also be deflated.

The eldest grandson Wugou was angry and funny, he came over and took her over.This time, Xiao Si didn't hold back any longer, but just showed some reluctance.

Finally sent the little girl away, Chen Jingke quickly shook his sore and numb arms, it was terrible.

Wei Zheng also couldn't laugh or cry, and the anger in his heart also dissipated by seven points.I couldn't help but start to think about why I was angry with a child, but it seemed that I was haggling.

Chen Jingke rubbed his arms before saying: "Naturally, marriage is inseparable from the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It is difficult to achieve happiness in a marriage without the blessing of the family."

"Marriage has always been a matter between two families. How many people can really break away from the support of two families and start a family independently? Less than one."

Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads, the words touched their hearts.

Wei Zheng has a little more affection for him, and having this kind of insight shows that this child is not really deviant.

He had already decided in his heart that no matter what Chen Jingke said later, he would take this matter lightly and expose it to the past.

"However, after all, those who live together are young couples, and only they know whether the shoes fit or not. So if conditions permit, we should also respect the opinions of the parties."

"Teenage couples are always together. We let the children get married in the hope that they can find the other half they want, and support each other until the end..."

"If two people are naturally incompatible and don't even bother to say a few words, do you think they will be happy personally? Will the two families be harmonious? This may be very difficult."

"Even if it's a bit utilitarian, marrying children is just for the purpose of marriage, regardless of whether they are happy or not. But is such a marriage really useful?"

This said, many people present had unnatural expressions on their faces.

Chen Jingke continued: "So, before they get married, or even before they get engaged, if conditions permit, can we let them contact in advance?"

"At least let them know what kind of person they will be with for the rest of their lives. If the two of them don't hate each other, then everyone is happy."

"If there is a conflict between the two of them, we can also resolve it in advance, so that the conflict between the young couple will not accumulate after they get married?"

"After all, young people are young and do nothing. Many things need the guidance of the elders. The way of getting along with husband and wife also requires the experience of the elders. What do you think?"
