Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 40 Poet Demon Li You
"Go out and play!"

In Xishi, Chunniang's family plus Li You and Li Mingda, the family is not going to open a store today, and they are going to take a good stroll around Chang'an City together. Who knows that Li You and Li Mingda really haven't visited this Chang'an City.

In a luxurious carriage sat Li You, Li Mingda, Chun Niang, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Baoer.

Today Li You said that Mr. Li will pay for all consumption. Not only can you eat and play as you like, but you can also buy things as you like. Because Mr. Li is happy today, you can do whatever you want.

Of course, the happiest one is our Li Mingda. You must know that although Li Mingda is a princess, he really has no chance to play in Chang'an as he likes.

This time, Li You dared to take Li Mingda to ride in a carriage because he could go out of the palace secretly.

First of all, Chang’an City in the Tang Dynasty is very large, with a total of 110 workshops. How do you play in such a large place, and you don’t have a map in your hand. At that time, the map was also called a map. If you hide the Chang’an map, you will be arrested and questioned. .

Fortunately, Xiao Baoer is a Chang'an expert, so he first ordered the carriage to Liquanfang not far from the West Market.

My dear mother, Li You really didn't expect that this Liquanfang is actually a gourmet place. In this Liquanfang, there are delicacies from all over the world. You can't eat this in other cities, because These merchants from the Western Regions who came along the Silk Road are all concentrated here in the West Market.

If you are a glutton, you can't get enough after eating in Liquanfang for several days and nights.

Li You bought sesame biscuits and crystal persimmons for convenience, Li Mingda doesn’t know how much he likes to eat them, but because of his shortness of breath, Li You only allowed the little guy to eat a crystal persimmon, which made the little guy show an angry little expression .

Fortunately, after leaving Liquanfang, I came to Guangdefang again.

This Guangdefang is the place where migrants report. There is a Jingzhao Mansion here. If you are a migrant, you have to come here to get your ID card. If you don’t have an ID card, you must be careful of the Jinwu Guards taking you into prison.

By the way, the biggest pair of Dongdong drums is in Guangdefang.

The so-called Dongdong drum is actually a large drum hung on every street in the capital. In the morning, three thousand drums are played, and the gates of Fangshi are opened;Walking on the street at night is a night ban and you will be punished.

Guangde Square is the largest, it sounds very shocking.

In addition to Dagu, another interesting place in Guangdefang is the cabinet workshop, which is similar to the money houses of later generations or today's banks. It is a business unit that accepts deposits and pays money based on certain credit.What is connected with the counter shop business is "easy exchange" and "flying money". "Instant exchange" is the certificate for depositing and withdrawing money.Deposit at place A and withdraw at place B. You only need to bring a piece of paper with you for "exchange", just like the exchange and checks of later generations.At that time, people also vividly called it "flying money".

"Is there nothing interesting here?" Li Mingda made his own boring protest after wandering around Guangde Square.

As long as Li Mingda was bored, at this time, Xiao Baoer said in a panic: "No, I just heard yesterday that Master Liu is coming to present a song. Why didn't you come? Oh, why don't we go to the Guanyin Terrace.!"

Guanyin Terrace is a high platform on a Guanyin Temple in Chang'an. It is a place that many people want to go to overlook the entire Chang'an City, but not everyone can go to this Guanyin Temple.

You have to have a predestined relationship with the Buddha. In fact, some farts have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, not because of their own family power.

When we came to the front of Guanyin Temple, oh my God, there were densely packed luxury carriages, and a large number of people wanted to climb to the high platform of Guanyin Temple to overlook the whole Chang'an.

After all, it's an amazing feeling.

"Why are there so many people?" Li Mingda complained again.

At this time, Xiao Yan on the side laughed: "It's because of the large number of people that it proves that this place is fun. And you see, there are many people outside the temple. As long as we have the ability to enter the temple, there is actually no one inside."

"Then how to enter the temple?" Li Mingda asked curiously.

"It's just writing poetry!" Chun Niang interjected: "The abbot of the Guanyin Temple once made a promise that anyone who comes here and wants to go to the Guanyin Temple, whether you are a literati, a commoner, or an official, just write a poem in front of the temple. Poetry, if it can be recognized by the crowd, then it can enter the temple and ascend the Guanyin platform."

"Ah, that's right!" Li You nodded.

"Fifth Brother depends on you."

Li You hadn't recovered yet, who knew that Li Mingda patted Li You directly, just when Li You didn't understand what Li Mingda meant, he heard Li Mingda, a little girl, walk to the front and face the crowd Shouted: "You all get out of the way, my fifth brother is here, my fifth brother is a Poetry Demon, and he is going to climb the Guanyin Platform today."

"Pfft!" Li You was speechless, why did this little girl cheat her brother so much, what kind of poetic monster, when did she have such a name.

Sure enough, before Li You had time to speak, sharp eyes fell on Li You, with surprise, surprise, contempt, and ridicule. Anyway, Li You felt uncomfortable all over.

On the contrary, Li Mingda shouted again without any stage fright: "The Poetry Demon is here!"

In an instant, there were whispers.

"Have you heard of Poetry Demon?"

"No, have you never heard someone call yourself a Poet Demon?"

"This person is so young. I don't know which master's descendant he is, but why does he call himself a Poet Demon? I feel so stupid?"

"It's really stupid, who has heard of this name?"

"Ah, it's not self-styled, is it?"

Following bursts of light laughter came from the surrounding crowd, Li You really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in. The laughter was obviously laughing at himself for being stupid, but what Li You didn't know was that later on he did There is a poetic demon, Mr. Bai Juyi.

However, now is the early Tang Dynasty, and the current nicknames for poetry are generally Qijue masters, Han and Wei dynasties, four Ming lunatics, etc. You are too avant-garde, Poet Demon, just like everyone laughing at killing Matt.

Blushing slightly, Chunniang and Xiao Yan distanced themselves slightly from Li You, but Xiao Baoer followed closely beside Li You, and happily said to the surroundings: "This is my teacher, I My teacher is a Poet Demon."

Not bragging, Li You really wanted to kick Li Mingda and Xiao Baoer away, one by one.

When they came to a place in front of the temple, one of the Zhike monks looked at Li You with a smile and said, "I don't know if you, Your Excellency Poetry Demon, can leave your poems. Of course, as long as the poems are good, His Excellency Poetry Demon can enter." This temple is on the Guanyin platform."

"Come on, come and enjoy the masterpiece of Poetry Demon."

"It's Your Excellency Poem Demon, hurry up and write a poem that will open our eyes."

"Hurry up, Poetry Demon!"

"Poetry Demon, your poems don't need to be polished!"

"Pfft haha!"

There was another burst of laughter, and Li You was almost driven into autism. There was nothing he could do, so Li You had no choice but to read a poem in Li Mingda's ear, and then saw that Li Mingda was confident, and walked to Zhike In front of the monk's desk, he picked up the brush and swiped away.
