Chapter 11 Dongge Sacrifice Wine

"Haha, Uncle! I'm right. Your Sanlang is indeed a rare talent!" Li Shimin smiled and said, "It's rare to be able to write such a good word with good wine!"

Qin Shubao was also surprised and happy. He arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty's praise. If the dog can't write martial arts, it's difficult to enter the room with a few subtle tricks. Who are you talking about?

"Don't be too modest." Li Shimin asked the attendant to carefully collect the music score, looked at Qin Mubai with a smile, and said, "Qin Sanlang, you are outstanding with wonderful skills. You are also a famous official. Have you ever thought about the future reward?"

"In reply to Your Majesty's words. The little man was ordered to go home to serve his sick father and didn't think about it for the time being. Qin Mubai replied.

"The reverse son is confused!" Qin Shubao scolded with a serious look, "The man's ambition is everywhere. He doesn't need you to keep filial piety before his father. There are many servants in the house. Why do you serve him?"

"The father's lesson is that the child knows what's wrong." Qin Mubai bowed his hand, but secretly laughed in his heart: Interesting. I wanted to be captured, and my father beat the snake with a stick to help sing together. Our father and son also played a double reed in front of the emperor.

"Ha ha, filial piety is the first, and Qin Sanlang is not wrong!" Li Shimin nodded with a smile and thought for a moment. He said, "Originally, I saw that you had a skill that you wanted you to enter the Taichang Temple Music Department and serve as a court musician, but on second thought, you were born as a general. How can you become an excellent player in Liyuan? Therefore, it is not appropriate. Moreover, I arrange other official positions for you, and you have to go to the government office from time to time. I'm afraid it will affect your service to your father. Therefore, although I have the intention to promote you, I am still a little embarrassed. Why don't you say it yourself, what kind of job do you want?"

Blank check? - Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel a little excited, and it was a signed blank check issued by the emperor, and he filled in the amount by himself!

Qin Shubao was silent. At this time, it was obviously not easy for him to express any opinions, otherwise he would seem a little pretentious and excessive. I had to wait and let my son deal with it by himself.

Qin Mubai thought to his heart: The current excellent artists are not as popular as the film and television stars in the 21st century. They are the lowest low-class people, and even the four major classes of "farmers, industry and commerce" cannot be ranked. In addition, the Tang Dynasty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and Li Shimin really thinks well. Now that he has issued a blank check, what grade and position should I ask for a reasonable official? ...I'm distressed. I'm not too familiar with the official system of the Tang Dynasty!

Just as Qin Mubai was thinking in a little embarrassed, Li Ke, who had been silent and listening, seemed to see his difficulties. He got up and bowed and said, "Father, I have something to say."

"Tell me."

"Thank you, Father." Li Ke said, "There happens to be a job vacancy in my minister's house. I think it should be suitable for Qin Mubai. The affairs of the Dongge wine sacrifice are not busy, and the Erchen's house is not far from the Qin house. Qin Mubai can still go back to the house to serve the Duke of Yi after ordering every day. Moreover, it is not convenient for my father to learn from his teacher, but it doesn't matter. If Qin Mubai goes to the minister's office as an official, he can learn winemaking, folk art and calligraphy from him, and can also learn martial arts and archery with him to listen to the guidance of the Duke of Mengyi. In this way, it's better than letting my son be idle all day long. Please ask your father's approval!"

"Hmm? Ke'er's proposal is not bad. Li Shimin nodded thoughtfully, "It's just that from the East Pavilion on the seventh grade, the official position is low and the salary is scarce. I don't know what your father and son think?"

"The dog was once just a pawn in the army. Weichen thought that it was too flattering to give him an official position from the ninth grade, which would make Weichen feel ashamed and uneasy." Qin Shubao bowed his hand and said solemnly, "Moreover, Weichen is worried about whether he is qualified for the position of wine in the East Pavilion of Wu Wangfu with the stubbornness and incompetence of the dog? Your Majesty and King Wu, please think twice.

"Shubao, you are just too modest." Li Shimin smiled carelessly and turned his head and said, "Qin Sanlang, have you ever been willing?"

"Your Majesty has the grace of the King of Wu, and the villain has a sense of mind. The villain is just worried that he has never been an official and has little experience. He is afraid that he is not competent, and he is afraid that he can't convince the public without merit. Qin Mubai said.

"Ha ha, you are really a father and son who are inherited by blood, and you have a common common problem of being too modest." Li Shimin laughed and said, "Who will have any objection to my meritorious minister and son, who will have any objection to the title of the seven-pin Dongge sacrificial wine of the prince's mansion? No one is born to be an official. Learn! - That's the case. Qin Mubai, I personally appointed you to sacrifice wine for the East Pavilion of Wu Wangfu. As long as your father Qin Shubao allows, you can take office at any time!"

"Thank you for your kindness, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The father and son are bowing down and shouting thanks.

"Free of courtesy!" Li Shimin laughed in a good mood and said, "Come on, continue to have a banquet!" I still want to listen to this song. Qin Mubai, you can play it again!"

"Weichen obeys the order!"

In a blink of an eye, Qin Mubai's self-proclaimed changed from a villain to a minister.

During the banquet, the wine and pipa music fluttered over the Qin Mansion, and from time to time, the emperor Li Shimin laughed loudly. The imperial guard at the gate of the palace and the palace people thought together: Since the death of the Empress Changsun, I'm afraid the emperor hasn't laughed like this for at least half a year. To be so happy today, the Qin family is bound to receive great grace.

It was not until night that Li Shimin took Li Ke to leave. Both father and son drank a lot of "Qin Xianjiu" and walked a little.

After sending the emperor away, Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai breathed a long breath and were relieved.

"Sanlang, talk about it in your father's room."

The father and son entered the room. Qin Shubao looked at Qin Mubai's rare and Xun smiled and said, "Sanlang, will you blame your father's harshness and prejugation for you in the past?"

"Where did my father start with this?" Qin Mubai arched his hand and smiled, "If my father is not harsh and predeprejud with me before, it's wrong."

"Oh, why?"

"It is the saying that the son is not the father's father." Qin Mubai said, "In the past, the child was stubborn and did a lot of things that damaged his father's face and reputation. His father must correct it, otherwise he would indulge in doting. From this point of view, you are a good father.

"Haha, good! After three years away from home, not only has your skills soared, but people have also become knowledgeable and knowledgeable. OK, OK." Qin Shubao nodded with gratifyingly. After a little thought, he said, "I have been sick for my father for many years. Although he still holds the position of General Zuo Wuwei, he has long been far away from the court and ignores government affairs and the military, and it is inevitable that people will go cold. Obviously, the emperor is here for you today, and he is very valued by you. However, this value is not because you have any great talent and ability, but just some tricks that are not enough to enter the house, just to win the emperor's private favor. If you want to make any great achievements in the future, you must keep making progress. Civil and martial arts talents, the way of being an official, there are a lot of things to learn, do you understand?

"The child remembers his father's teachings." Qin Mubai bowed his hand and said, "The child knows that some strange skills alone are not enough to settle down. When the child was born as a general in his heyday, he will definitely overcome the sun and work hard. He dares not be a dimp, so as not to humiliate his father's reputation for a lifetime.

"A good man doesn't mention the bravery of those years. The so-called 'life prestige' is already a thing of the past and is not worth mentioning." Qin Shubao waved his hand and said, "As the saying goes, 'A poor and filial son comes from a poor family, and a proud and rebellious child is raised.' You used to be a dudge, and you really hate that you can't become a steel for your father. Now that you are so sensible, it's very comforting for your father. Now, the father only hopes that you can find your own way in the future. You don't have to rely on the emperor's shadow of his old friendship for a living. Friendship can be said to be the strongest bond in the world, and it can also be said to be the most unsafe thing. Do you understand?

"Father, don't worry, the child understands." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "The child will work hard and make progress step by step. He will not only strive for a lifetime of glory, but also strive for the Qin family."

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qin Mubai awe-inspiringly. He nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Have great ambition, good! I hope this is not just a rhetoric.

"I will prove it with my actions." Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, and asked, "Besides, father, what exactly does the official position of Dongge Sacrifice?"

Qin Shubao smiled and smiled: "He is a very idle subordinate of the prince's mansion. Although he is listed in the same seven grades as the general county magistrate, he doesn't have much real power and doesn't have any major errands. He is mainly responsible for receiving guests from the royal palace and arranging banquets, singing and dancing.

Qin Mubai was slightly stunned and smiled in his heart: Isn't that just a hotel hostel manager? ...Forget it, be contented and happy. Anyway, it's an official career. Take your time! Those commoners have studied hard to participate in the scientific examination. After working hard for more than ten years, they may not be able to get seven-grade official positions at once.

The father and son fell in love and parted in the middle of the night.

Finally, I experienced some feelings of "blood is thicker than water" of my biological father and son. Qin Mubai's mood became more comfortable. When he returned to the house, he was slightly drunk and inadvertently hummed a popular song. Just as he was about to open the door, a voice came from behind him: "Third brother, what are you humming?"

"Little sister?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Why don't you go to bed so late? What are you doing here?"

Qin Shuanger got up from the stone bench in the yard and said with a smile, "I've been waiting for you here for a long time. I want to chat with you."

"Talking about King Wu?" Qin Mubai smiled jokingly, and Qin Shuang'er's face turned red: "Bad guy!"

"Let's talk in the room."

When the brother and sister entered the house, they sat down. Qin Shuanger was quite careful and prepared to learn about the wine soup for Qin Mubai.

"Whoever marries a good girl like me is really a blessing for eight lifetimes." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Shuanger, you tell the truth to the third brother, you and the king of Wu... What's going on?"
