Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Empress Changsun couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to act like a little woman in front of her husband. It wasn't until Li Shimin pointed out the key point that she smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

Li Shimin nodded, and said: "Just watch, this kid is probably going to start a business within half a month."

Empress Changsun remembered the scene when Li Shimin wrote the inscription for Li Xin, she couldn't help laughing for a while, and she couldn't help laughing from ear to ear.

In fact, Li Shimin's prediction was still a bit off. It didn't take half a month for Li Xin's teahouse to open. Only ten days later, this teahouse named Tianranju opened quietly.

Li Xin originally thought that after sending out these tea leaves, some people would have some opinions, but unexpectedly, there were no comments at all. Cheng Yaojin was the only one who raised his opinion. His opinion was: the gift of tea is too little, too stingy, and it would be better to send two more carts.

In this regard, Li Xin only had two words "hehe" to say behind his back-he dared not face to face, absolutely dare not.

Judging from the results of this user trial, the popularity of fried tea leaves somewhat exceeded Li Xin's expectations. It seems that he is not the only one who hates tea soup, it's just that other people are used to drinking it or for some other reason, they have not expressed their dissatisfaction with tea soup.

Since the bitter tea soup in the world has been around for so long, Li Xin has a little confidence in the future of Tianranju.

The interior decoration of Tianranju uses a lot of bamboo. This is what Li Xin did on purpose. From its name to its positioning, Tianranju is a consumption place for literati, and it basically matches the favorite star of urban white-collar workers and young bourgeois in later generations. Therefore, a little effort must be made in the decoration, so that people can feel that they have got a certain level of improvement as soon as they come in. In this way, among the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, bamboo has become the best choice. After all, it is evergreen all year round, and it is easy to get.

To create a sense of luxury, bamboo alone is not enough. Because man is a creature that seeks meaning by nature. And it is the matter of "meaning" that endows inanimate objects with a high-level and low-level distinction.

For literati, the easiest way to give meaning to things is to use their excess associative ability to connect this target thing with themselves, such as what character or encounter, and then write two poems, good or bad . If the poetry is good enough and can resonate with enough literati, then this connection between things and characters will be fixed and gradually become the consensus of the people.

The four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum actually came this way. As early as the Tang Dynasty, bamboo has become a symbol of a gentleman, and many poems have been written about it. But Li Xin still felt that since it was his own teahouse, it seemed a bit lacking in taste to just copy a well-known poem from his predecessors on it, and on the contrary lowered the quality of the teahouse. Still have to write one myself.

Of course, if you say you copied an article, that's fine. But after all, no one can single out the problem, can they?

Li Xinxin already had a suitable poem, which happened to be used here. It is "Bamboo and Stone" written by Zheng Banqiao, a painter and poet in the Qing Dynasty.

Sticking to the green hills and not letting go, the roots are originally in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, let the wind from east to west, north and south.

These days, no one can write Banqiao style. And the idea of ​​this poem is not suitable for Chen Youlan, a woman, to write it on her behalf. She couldn't write that flavor.

In the end, it was Chen Xinheng who made it out.
