Datang romantic little landlord

Li Wangyou held about a dozen lantern riddles in his hands, and he gave all the answers in one breath, which also frightened the doctor of the restaurant.

After hanging out these lantern riddles at my master's house today, I don't know how many literati came to try them.There are only dozens of people who can guess the lantern riddles correctly and enter the restaurant to enjoy free food and wine.Like Li Wangyou, he was the first person to take these lantern riddles as easily as a child's game.

According to the regulations set by the owner of the restaurant, Li Wangyou can bring more than a dozen people into the restaurant.No one had thought of this matter before, how could the doctor dare to make his own claims.

After secretly wiping off the sweat from his forehead, the doctor quickly complained to Li Wangyou, and trotted into the restaurant to find the shopkeeper to deal with it.

Not long after, the shopkeeper of the restaurant who was notified by the doctor hurried over, welcomed Li Wangyou, Li Er and others into the restaurant very politely, and carefully invited everyone to the elegant room on the third floor to sit down.

The elegant room on the third floor of this restaurant has a pretty good view. When you open the window facing the street, you can see the radiant Chang'an City in your eyes, which is very lively.

Empress Changsun, Concubine Yang, the beautiful boss, Afulo, and Pei Lan are very satisfied with this.Everyone called the doctor to bring drinks and some side dishes he was good at.

At this time, the shopkeeper knocked lightly on the door of the elegant room, and said cautiously: "My lord, my master wants to ask you to move forward, but I wonder if he is willing?"

Li Wangyou is a little interested in the owner of this restaurant, the owner who can come up with this kind of lantern riddles and get free meals is also a wonderful person, worth getting to know.

Unexpectedly, Li Er was also interested, so he got up and went out of the elegant room with him, intending to meet the owner of the restaurant.

The shopkeeper respectfully ushered the two into another elegant room on the third floor, and pushed open the door. Before Li Wangyou could see the scene in the elegant room, he heard a burst of laughter from the elegant room: "Haha, the old man knew , the only one in this world who can guess so many lantern riddles in one breath is you, Li Ziyou."

Li Wangyou looked up, but couldn't help being happy, his feelings were all acquaintances.

The one who laughed out loud just now was Kong Yingda, who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy, and beside him were Lu Kuan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Li Wangyou's old friend, Yu Shinan who was also a teacher and friend, and a Li Wangyou who never knew. Old man I know.

Kong Yingda made fun of Li Wangyou before noticing Li Er behind him, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

Li Er smiled and said: "Why are you so polite? Haha, I just met Ziyou downstairs, but I didn't expect that you are also in this restaurant."

Speaking of which, they actually met each other from Tai Chi Palace a few hours ago, but they didn't expect to run into them again when they went on a night tour of Chang'an City.

Kong Yingda laughed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that this restaurant is owned by the courtiers, so today I invited Duke Yu and the others to watch the lanterns here."

Li Wangyou suddenly realized that Kong Yingda is the owner of this restaurant, no wonder today he came up with a trick of guessing lantern riddles, and then he can eat in for free.

As the 31st grandson of Confucius, Kong Yingda naturally has many industries in the mansion, and this restaurant is just one of them.

However, Li Er looked at the old man Li Wangyou didn't know very pleasantly, and respectfully saluted the old man: "Mr. Mr. Ji, I'm afraid you won't see Shimin yet? Are you still blaming Shimin?"

What Li Er said made Li Wangyou startled, he couldn't figure out who this skinny old man was, who actually made Li Er talk to him like a disciple.

"Your Majesty is serious. Hehe, the old man is now old and frail, and he cannot be treated like this. This time I return to Chang'an to visit some old friends. As for the matter of becoming an official, please don't mention it again. The old man is eighty-two years old this year, really. It's unusable." The old man shook his head and smiled.

Seeing that the old man refused so resolutely, Li Er could only smile wryly and shook his head, planning to persuade the old man slowly.Anyway, since the old man returned to Chang'an City, he naturally didn't intend to let him go.

Yu Shinan on the side smiled and said, "Brother Wen Ji, what are you afraid of if you are not in good health? Haha, you haven't been in Chang'an City for a long time. I'm afraid you don't know this young man? His surname is Li, his name is Wangyou, and his name is Ziyou. He was granted the title of county uncle of Kaiguo and titled Huxian. Li Ziyou was a genius doctor in the world, and even the crown prince suffered from intestinal carbuncle, which was cured by him and Elder Sun together. Xiao Gong's lung disease was also cured by Ziyou. Your little problems are nothing, haha."

Yu Shinan turned his head and smiled and introduced to Li Wangyou: "Ziyou, come and meet Li Gong. Li Gong's name is Gang, and the word Wenji is a great Confucianist in the world."

Li Wangyou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, it turned out that this old man was Li Gang!

No wonder Li Erfang had such an attitude.

Li Gang can be said to be a famous official in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. When Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty served as the prince's horse washing, he taught the prince Yang Yong.After the end of the Sui Dynasty and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Gang was appointed by Li Yuan as the prince Taibao, and taught the prince Li Jiancheng.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Jiancheng died, and Li Gang sadly resigned and returned to his hometown in Guanzhou, Xing County.

In history, Li Gang came back again in the fourth year of Zhenguan, and was appointed by Li Er as the teacher of Prince Li Chengqian, the prince's grand teacher.However, Li Gang was old and sick, and passed away in the fifth year of Zhenguan.

As a great Confucian who taught three princes, Li Gang is unparalleled.

Even Li Yuan, the Supreme Emperor, never called Li Gang by his first name because he respected him.And Li Er naturally could only perform the disciple ceremony in front of this old man, call him Mr., and call himself a citizen of the world.

Li Wangyou hurriedly bowed to Li Gang: "It turned out to be Mr. Wen Ji. Ziyou heard about Mr.'s name a long time ago. He has never seen his real face. Today, he finally saw him."

Li Gang laughed loudly with his beard: "Haha, Uncle Huxian is being polite, I have admired you for a long time. I can't put it down your book "Three Kingdoms". As for the poems of Uncle Huxian, I am even more amazed. There is such a young gentleman in the Tang Dynasty, so why not worry about it."

"Mr. Wen Ji praised me absurdly, you should call me Ziyou, sir."

However, Li Gang suddenly turned his face hard, with a look of anger appearing on his face, and said: "Uncle Hu County, today you have swept the old man's face, let me tell you about this matter, how should I explain to the old man?"

The old man's sudden change of face made Li Wangyou stunned, what is this?

It was the first time for me to say this to the old man today, why did he sweep his face?Could it be that those Confucian scholars under the restaurant just now are Li Gang's close friends?

643 Ten Bets and Nine Losses

Li Wangyou didn't know how to answer Li Gang's words, even Li Er was confused, he didn't understand how his nephew hated Li Gang.

Even Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and Lu Kuan were at a loss. They didn't understand why this old friend suddenly turned his back on him.

Everyone was at a loss, and when they were about to mediate, Li Gang suddenly laughed like a naughty boy, the narrow expression on his face, like a child who succeeded in pranking.

"Haha, don't worry, Ziyou, this old man was just joking with you. The lantern riddles hanging in Brother Chongyuan's restaurant today are all my favorite creations, but I didn't expect that you would treat it as a game for you." , It's really annoying! Ziyou, tell me, how should I compensate the old man for the loss?" Li Gang smiled happily, and there was no shame on his face.

Li Wangyou was dumbfounded by this old man, sure enough, that's what he said.

He did not expect that such a great Confucian as Li Gang could be so humorous.

Li Er also came to his senses, shaking his head and smiling wryly: "Mr. Wen Ji is still so joking, I thought this bastard really did something to annoy Mr. Wen Ji."

Li Gang clapped his palms and laughed: "Ziyou, hurry up and tell me how to compensate the old man, otherwise the old man will let Brother Chongyuan kick you out."

Li Wangyou rolled his eyes silently, this old man is 82 years old, and he likes to play around so much, he is also drunk.

But looking at Li Gang who was smiling happily like a child, Li Wangyou rolled his eyes and had a narrow thought.

"Hey, since Mr. Wen Ji said that, it was my fault. If that's the case, why don't I pay Mr. a few lantern riddles?" Li Wangyou said with a sly smile.

Li Gang shook his head again and again: "It's not right, the old man likes to study this lantern riddle when he has nothing to do. It's really nothing new, this compensation is not enough."

"No, no, Mr. Wen Ji must have never heard of my lantern riddle, and may not be able to guess it." Li Wangyou smiled brighter and brighter.

His words aroused Li Gang's interest: "Oh? Ziyou, are you so sure? I'm not afraid to tell you that this old man has been studying lantern riddles for more than ten years. I like to study this way when I have nothing to do. I think it's a game. You But think about it, if the old man can answer the lantern riddles you come up with, it won't count."

"This is natural. If Mr. Wen Ji doesn't believe it, why don't we make a bet? I will give you ten lantern riddles. If you can guess three riddles correctly, you will be considered a winner. I don't know if Mr. Yu has met Mr. Yu." Isn’t that the portrait in the house? If I lose, I can draw a picture for Mr. as an apology, how about it?”

When Li Gang heard this, his old eyes lit up.

He has a very good friendship with Yu Shinan. He had seen the sketch portrait of Yu Shinan that Li Wangyou gave as a congratulatory gift at Yu Shinan's birthday banquet, and he liked it very much.

Now that Li Wangyou actually wanted to bet with him on this, how could the old man not agree?

"Haha, Ziyou, you are willing to put down the money. It seems that if the old man loses, you must have something in mind. Tell me, what will happen if the old man loses?" Li Gang is also old and mature, and he can see through Li Wangyou at a glance. plan.

Li Wangyou said with a smile: "If Mr. Wen Ji loses, I will make my own decision and want to ask Mr. to teach the prince's studies. I wonder if Mr. and His Majesty will allow it?"

Li Er heard the words and immediately nodded repeatedly.
