I am a thief in the Tang Dynasty
Page 38
Fang Yiyi had been out for quite some time just now, and as soon as he came back Fang Yiai got up and started reciting poetry. Isn't this too strange? !
Everyone knows that Fang Yiyi has talent for poetry and literary talent.
He has been blessed with a good marriage and has continuous good luck, so it is possible that he could compose a quatrain.
Thinking about it this way, it must have been Fang Yiyi who wrote this quatrain so that Fang Yiai could take the limelight.
Everyone present was smart. Thinking of this, everyone looked at Fang Yiyi who was sitting upright with an innocent look on his face.
Fang Yiai felt a little panicked and subconsciously wanted to refute.
Without waiting for him to speak, Fang Yiyi glanced at his second brother, motioning him not to speak, and stood up, walked towards the man and asked:
"Do you know where Jinguan City is?"
Chapter 105 You guys, hehe...
Where is Jinguan City?
This man thought Fang Yiai was going to attack him, so he was on guard. He didn't expect Fang Yiyi to ask such a question, and he was unable to react for a moment.
Everyone who originally believed that Fang Yiyi was writing for Fang Yiai frowned, for they all knew that Jinguan City referred to Yizhou, which is Chengdu.
Just now Fang Yiai talked about his experiences in the south, among which he mentioned the night view of Yizhou.
Fang Yiyi, on the other hand, had been in Chang'an the whole time and had not traveled far.
They couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the poem was really Fang Yiai's idea and had nothing to do with Fang Yiyi?"
This person also understood why Fang Yiyi asked Jinguancheng this question.
His face suddenly turned pale, he felt like he had lost all desire to live, and his body shook.
He pursed his lips and said hoarsely:
"As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and well-read, how could I not know that Jinguan City refers to Yizhou?"
Fang Yiyi nodded and smiled, "I am Fang Yiyi. I am weak and sickly and cannot travel far. You all know that."
"On the contrary, it is my second brother who has traveled to many mountains and rivers of our Tang Dynasty and has a wide range of knowledge."
"Although he is not good at poetry, we, the Fang family, are not the illiterate people you claim."
As he spoke, his face was full of seriousness, and he said in a deep voice:
"Before, my second brother didn't like disputes and wasn't good at speaking. In your eyes, he became an illiterate Wuxia A'mon."
"Now, my second brother has shown a little talent and has written something inspired, but he has become a person of low character in your eyes who is looking for a ghostwriter."
These words were righteous and stern, and made Cui Qi and others look pale.
Their idea is exactly what Tongfang Yiyi said.
But Fang Yiai is not such a person.
Not that vulgar person who has only brute strength but no knowledge.
What does that mean?
This shows that they judge people by their appearance, look down on people through cracks in the door, and look down on them as if they were worn-out shoes. They have bad character and dirty minds.
However, Fang Yiai was broad-minded and did not argue with them. He was always humble and modest. He must be a rare humble gentleman, and they were far from being as good as him.
Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang were originally very happy and proud when they heard their third brother's words, but the more they listened, the more guilty they felt!
Ghostwriting, real ghostwriting!
But Fang Yiyi's words were so logical and well-founded that Fang Yiai believed it.
And then he said that he was broad-minded and humble, which really made Fang Yiai embarrassed.
In the past, when others mocked and insulted him, he would curse back on the spot, but he was powerless and could not argue anymore. After a sentence or two, he would give up and continue to be mocked in a dejected manner. He was not broad-minded at all.
As for being humble everywhere, my goodness, not to mention the past, just now, he was still showing off, how could he be a humble gentleman.
I really don't deserve my brother's praise!
Seeing that her second brother and his wife were showing weakness and looked strange, Chai Xueying quickly winked at them.
The two of them immediately restrained their expressions, straightened their backs, and sat upright in their seats, looking calm and composed, as if they didn't care about the past events at all.
Fang Yiyi's final words were so shocking that everyone in the room lowered their heads in shame.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye for talent. It is no exaggeration to say that you are a great talent scout."
"How could the son-in-law he chose be a good-for-nothing?"
"You guys, haha!"
The last sneer was like a ruthless iron hand, slapping these people's faces repeatedly, making them dizzy.
Yes!
Even what Fang Yiyi said before was all false.
But how could the current emperor, Li Shimin, be deaf and blind?
Chapter 106: The Holy Grail is in hand, leaving in style
There were so many brave generals and wise ministers in the court, all of whom were recruited by Li Shimin and entrusted with important tasks when others were not optimistic about them. This ability to judge people is always talked about with relish.
So, even if the son-in-law chosen by Li Shimin seems to be unlearned and unskilled, is he really unlearned and unskilled?
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, King Wei Li Tai was completely at a loss.
The poetry gathering cannot be carried out at the moment, as the Fang family and several other members of the Lin family are at loggerheads. If they continue playing this game, there might be bloodshed!
He suddenly thought that with Fang Yiai's quatrain before it, no other poem would be able to surpass this one.
He once again acted as a peacemaker, giving everyone a way out and smoothing things over.
Li Tai stood up, his face full of sincerity, and quickly walked to the Holy Grail, picked it up, and handed it to Fang Yiyi, who had a serious face, and said:
"Your silence is the greatest recognition of this poem. This poetry competition should take Fang Jia Erlang's quatrain as the first prize. Please accept this first prize."
Fang Yiyi did not answer it, but smiled modestly:
"Your Highness, this is my second brother's honor. I can't borrow it."
The King of Wei was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of self-blame:
"I was inconsiderate. I wanted to be lazy and walk less. I thought it didn't matter which of you brothers led the way."
As he spoke, the King of Wei quickly came to Fang Yiai.
Looking at this tough-looking brother-in-law, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Yi Ai, keeping a low profile is a good thing, but you are hiding it too deeply."
"I told you so. Father will never marry the apple of his eye to a mediocre person."
"You are the son-in-law of the emperor. You should show your talents in the future. Let Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty know that your father did not choose the wrong person!"
Fang Yiai took the Holy Grail and looked at the rubies and pearls inlaid on it, feeling extremely excited.
This was the first recognition he had received since he was a child.
Even with the help of my younger brother, I got it by cheating.
But it is still a recognition of him.
The indescribable touch made his eyes red.
Fang Yiai suppressed his excitement and said with a silly grin:
"Your Highness is right. I will never let my father and the princess down in the future."
Princess Gaoyang, who was standing by, couldn't help feeling bitter and depressed when she saw her husband like this.
My husband's glory this time was achieved with the help of my uncle Fang Yiyi.
What can happen later?
Fang Yiyi will not always be around to help them.
Their lives will probably return to their previous predicament.
It is more likely that you will encounter even more embarrassing difficulties because of today's popularity.
The King of Wei smiled gently and nodded, then returned to his seat and said loudly:
"The poetry gathering has ended. I have also gained a lot of good things here today. The Literature Museum has collected a lot of rare and uncommon books."
"You may all follow me to appreciate it."
The field was still silent.
Cui Qi and others all looked at the four people from the Fang family.
If Fang Yiyi and the others followed, there might be another quarrel.
Today I have experienced the sharp tongue of the Fang family. If one of us is not well prepared, we will be humiliated.
Then why go to appreciate the rare copy? Are you looking for humiliation?
When the King of Wei saw that no one in the room moved, he was suddenly at a loss and looked at his sister, Princess Gaoyang, for help.
Princess Gaoyang didn't like poetry gatherings in the first place, and now she had no intention of joining in. She was even more worried that her husband, who was not very good at writing, might be exposed, so she said to the Fang brothers:
"I'm tired today, why don't we go back home first?"
Fang Yiyi and others also felt that it was boring to stay here, so they immediately got up and left.
Upon seeing this, Cui Qi and others all breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted their posture, resumed their elegant and humble demeanor as when they came, and hurriedly left the main hall which was filled with sadness and embarrassment.
Chapter 107 Third brother, you are so awesome!
The Fang family members were walking in the Wei Wang Mansion with its carved railings and jade bricks.
Fang Yiai gratefully put the Holy Grail in his hand into Fang Yiyi's arms, and he said without question:
"Third brother, I am so grateful to you today. Otherwise, I don't know how embarrassing it would be for your second brother."
"You wrote the poem, so you should take the prize."
Fang Yiyi's face tightened and he said seriously, "Second brother, we are brothers, you are being too formal with me by saying this!"
"When I was a kid, I didn't say anything about who bullied me. If anyone dared to say anything bad about me, you would just punch them."
"You have been protecting me like this even when I was older. I am a better student than you, brother. How can I bear to see you being targeted and embarrassed by those people at the poetry meeting?"
The sincere and heartfelt words instantly comforted Fang Yiai's heart.
He was carefree, with his muscular arms, he put his arms around Fang Yiyi's thin shoulders, shook them a few times and said proudly:
"Brother, isn't it my duty to protect you? You have really grown up and can protect me now. I am so happy!"
"Let's go back and have a drink. We won't leave until we're drunk tonight!"
Princess Gaoyang had been worried and gloomy, but after seeing the deep affection between the two brothers, she relaxed her brows and smiled.
"The chef in my courtyard is good at making delicacies from all over the world, especially the delicacies of Yizhou, which are spicy, fresh and delicious. How about we all go to the West Garden tonight?"
"Then I'll bother my second brother and his wife. Xueying, take the fine Western wine that you confiscated from the border and have a good meal with my brother and his wife." Fang Yiyi acted as if he couldn't wait to eat, which made his brother and his wife smile even more.
"Okay!" Chai Xueying responded obediently.
The family of four were talking loudly, and they didn't notice that there was someone following them.
The golden hairpin inlaid with red and yellow gemstones glowed beautifully in the sun, making Li Li's snow-white skin look like sparkling.
Li Lizhi blinked her eyes with a knowing smile, and said with a raised corner of her mouth:
"I knew that this poem must have been written by Sanlang."
"Sanlang is so eloquent that he convinced everyone that the quatrain was written by my second brother. Even I almost believed it."
Then, her beautiful eyes were filled with admiration as she murmured:
"Sanlang is really amazing. He has never been to the South, but he can write such an immersive quatrain after listening to the description of the second brother."
"He gave this great opportunity to leave his name in the poetry world to his second brother without hesitation. Sanlang is really a good man who is indifferent to fame and gain and respectful to his brothers!"
