Chapter 286: Sensation
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment: "My lord, I'm sitting next to the general."
The virtuous king looked at Xu Qing: "Is the president of the State Chamber of Commerce a general?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "It's not the president of the National Chamber of Commerce, but the leader of the Shadow Guard and the Three Guards is."
Now he became a virtuous king in a daze, and almost forgot that this kid has been promoted in this period of time, it seems that he was promoted by himself...
But this is not a problem for the sage king, the sage king continued: "Is there a rule that generals can't make birthday ci? Boost your morale?"
Well, you are worthy of being a virtuous king, how can you say it makes sense.
And many civil servants and military generals at the side cast a different look at Xu Qing, the shadow guards were in charge of the three guards, and the prince actually handed over the shadow guards to Xu Qing!
Why does the prince put so much emphasis on Xu Qing, who is of ordinary background? Being in charge of the National Chamber of Commerce is already considered a high position and authority, and now the shadow guard is given to Xu Qing, the reason is intriguing!
The Emperor Chu on the side began to smooth things over and said, "Brother Emperor, I don't think you should make things difficult for Xu Qing. It is Xu Qing's first birthday banquet, so he is not familiar with it. It is expected that he has not prepared a birthday speech."
He knew about Xu Qing's background. He was a fast-moving police officer, and he was cultivated step by step by the emperor to the position of president of the National Chamber of Commerce. It is not surprising that he is not good at poetry.
The Xian King laughed and said: "Don't underestimate Xu Qing. In Yongzhou city, he is said to be the number one talented person in Yongzhou with only two poems. This kid has real kung fu."
The virtuous king's remarks made everyone look at Xu Qing with admiration. They really didn't expect this person to be so accomplished in poetry.
Xu Qing told the truth with cupped hands: "Don't dare to be, I'm just standing on the shoulders of my predecessors."
The virtuous king said: "You don't have to be modest, write an article and read it, and I promise you a cup of tea time."
Xu Qing looked at the virtuous king and wanted to go up and give him a punch. Longevity poems, nine-year compulsory education memorized so many poems, how could one of them be birthday celebrations?
As for college? High school is the pinnacle of brain functioning. I didn't work as hard as I did in the third year of high school. If I didn't have a birthday poem in high school, I wouldn't even think about going to college.
There is no longevity poem, but I have seen one poem.
This woman is not human,
Nine Heavens
Children and grandchildren will all become thieves,
Steal the flat peach birthday relatives.
But this poem is very tricky. Under this kind of scene, it is too easy to overturn. Maybe you just read the first sentence, and you may be carried out before you can read the second sentence.
He never does high-risk things.
What's more, asking for longevity words by name and surname, and composing a poem by myself does not meet the requirements of the title.
Can I give points if I digress?
Just at this time, the Emperor Chu said: "The birthday poems of the many ministers present are prepared one month in advance. It is really difficult to write a birthday poem in the time of a cup of tea. Why don't you rewrite a couple of birthday couplets? What do you think brother?"
The Xian King looked at Xu Qing with a troubled face and felt that what he was asking for might be a bit too much, so he nodded and said: "The emperor is right, and it is indeed difficult for others to force others, so let's rewrite a couple of birthday couplets, and I will serve you with pen and ink."
This is the benefit of the prince. You are not joking. If the king is the emperor, you can't change it once you say it. Fortunately, he is the prince. As long as it is not a military order, you can change it as you want.
It's no wonder that the virtuous king thought so. Back then, the Wangfu Poetry Club randomly selected topics and created them improvised. Xu Qing was created impromptu.
This led Xian Wang, who had never written a poem, to take it for granted that writing poems was easy for Xu Qing.
I really didn't expect that he would be stumped on this.
Xu Qing heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, there were no birthday words, and birthday couplets were not a problem. This stuff was often mentioned when celebrating the birthday of the elderly in the family in the previous life.
One of them has a very high appearance rate, so high that it makes people feel perfunctory.
It is the most bad street in the birthday party.
But at this time, Xu Qing can't pass the bad street, and the longevity couplet that can get away with it is the good longevity couplet.
I saw Xu Qing walked out of the seat, came to the desk prepared by the servants in the hall, picked up a brush, dipped it in the ink that had been polished, and concentrated on writing.
Shanglian: Blessing is like the long flowing water in the East China Sea
The second line: Shoubi Nanshan is not old pine
After finishing writing, Xu Qing finally let out a sigh of relief, and finally got over it.
Xu Qing put down the brush, and the two couplets were picked up by the servants at the side.
Emperor Chu hadn't read the couplet yet, he only saw the characters and said: "It seems that Uncle Anding is quite accomplished in calligraphy."
Xu Qing had no choice but to remain silent, with tears in her heart, what she said was good, don't say it next time, why would she stab someone in the heart?
How this word came about has nothing to do with whether you are accomplished or not, the main reason is that my mother likes it!
Then the queen looked at the words on the couplet and couldn't help but read out: "Fortune is like the long flowing water in the East Sea, and life is not as old as Nanshan. This pair of birthday couplets is indeed the best couple among the many longevity couplets I have received in the past. I also like this word very much.”
Xu Qing looked at the queen, feeling that she was taking advantage of him.
However, Xu Qing could only say with cupped hands: "As long as the empress likes it."
Voiceover: Just be happy.
Fortunately, this is Da Chu. If you say this kind of old man's blessing on the birthday of a woman as old as a queen in later generations, I'm afraid they will beat you out.
Grandma's, who's the old one? !
Afterwards, the couplets were circulated among the ministers.
Looking at this pair of birthday couplets, Jiang Xiang couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "Fortune is like the long flowing water of the East China Sea. The water of the East China Sea is flowing continuously, which means that the blessings of the empress are endless. This couplet written by Uncle Anding is really excellent."
"The longevity is not as old as the pine in Nanshan? Is this taken from the "Book of Songs": Like the longevity of Nanshan, it will not collapse. It is like the luxuriance of pines and cypresses, all of which can inherit these two sentences? It is really a clever use of allusions, I really can’t think of it. Andingbo still has such talent in literature and Taoism, this official admires him."
Xu Qing raised cupped hands towards Jiang Xiang, Jiang Daoxuan's grandfather: "Jiang Xiang is absurd."
But what I thought in my heart was: What the hell? And this layer of meaning? A sentence of birthday couplet in the later generations of Rotten Street can even pull out the words from the "Book of Songs" as an allusion? Good guy has increased his knowledge!
As expected of a leftist, this book was not in vain!
Seeing that Jiang Xiang had stepped on the thunder, the civil servants after that could boast freely and unscrupulously. Jiang Xiang said that it was good, and then a bunch of civil servants came out with one big talent at a time, and there were some additional The compliments, what is clever, talented, what is knowledgeable, mastery and so on.
Xu Qing really didn't expect that just a pair of bad birthday couplets could cause such a big commotion in the court, these words made Xu Qing feel a little embarrassed.
If this is expressed in future generations, it will not be so difficult. Four words can perfectly show the power of this couple of longevity couplets:
Fuck! Awesome!
