The door was lightly slammed three times, and the boy's childish voice came, "Master, tea is here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

A lamp like a bean in the room illuminated the vicinity of the lampstand, and I saw a wooden table in the middle of the room, on which lay a book, the scroll was so broken that even the title of the book was unrecognizable. At the table, there were two men sitting across from each other, and there was no one else in the room except for these two.

Hearing the sound outside, the man sitting opposite the door got up from the ground and went to open the door himself. He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and he was very fresh and generous. When he passed through the open window, a gust of wind whistled by, and the gray-brown clothes on his body moved in the wind, fluttering like a fairy, and a pair of peach blossom eyes on his face were bent as if they were smiling. The shadow of the lamp under the eaves of the window poured into the room, attached to half of his face, and fell from him and fell to the ground, making him look with deep eyebrows and a slender figure.

He opened the door, and the flickering lights illuminated his face, it was Xia Ziyan, but in front of him was a small courtyard, small and chic, with an unobstructed view. At the end of the house there was a small pavilion, on the edge of the pavilion planted grapes, set up a grape trellis, the grapes were naturally nowhere to be found at this time, only the grape leaves on the shelf were entwined and climbed, and a little green fell on the top. This is obviously not a magnificent and exquisitely constructed palace, it must be Xia Ziyan's private residence. He looked up at the sky, his eyes were far away, and a little boy in green clothes standing in front of the door seemed to be a little anxious, and after calling "master" in a small voice, he quickly handed the black lacquer plate in his hand high, higher than the top of his head. On the black lacquer plate is freshly brewed tea, which is escaping a faint fragrance from the spout of the teapot, refreshing people's hearts. Xia Ziyan took the black lacquer plate with one hand, rubbed the hair of the boy in Tsing Yi with the other, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily, don't forget to collect the clothes in the backyard, and don't forget to close the windows in the study......"

Before he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind blew down obliquely from the edge of the eaves, and the dust was stirred up by the wind in the dark night, and with the charming eyes of the night, the boy in Tsing Yi also fell into the trick, covered his eyes and rubbed it non-stop, Xia Ziyan just planned to help him blow the dust off his eyes, but the boy in Tsing Yi quickly took a step back, lowered his head and covered his eyes, turned around and ran away, the hands covering his eyes touched his face, it was hot, his hand was hot, and his face was red all the way.

The gust of wind blew into the room, and the candle flame was too weak to stand it, and it was extinguished in a blink of an eye. Xia Ziyan turned around and went into the house to cover the door, re-lit the candles in the room with the help of the light outside the window, and poured a cup of tea for the man at the square table, and said respectfully, "Sir, please use tea." ”

The man was dressed in a light blue robe, he sat on the floor, his back straight, and his close-fitting thin shirt outlined his muscular body, obviously a man who had practiced martial arts for many years. The man leaned forward and saluted, then reached out and brought the cup of tea, took a sip, seemed to be savoring, no one spoke in the silent room, and after a long time, he could hear his surprise and sigh, "It is indeed this taste, I didn't expect to be able to get two wishes in a row today, the minister sighed in his heart, if there is a gaffe, please don't laugh at the three princes." ”

"If the gentleman gets his wish, others will only be happy for the gentleman, so how can they make fun of the gentleman. ”

The man in the light blue robe shook his head and seemed to sigh, "The minister is a martial artist, he doesn't think about martial arts or learning the art of war, but looks for this tea and this anthology everywhere, and says it, this is like the mind of a literati, the behavior of a literati, how can he not be laughed at by his colleagues." ”

The smile on Xia Ziyan's face faded, and the hand holding the teacup did not send the teacup to his lips, but only stopped on his chest, and asked as if he was puzzled, "Mr. cares so much about others, why do you still have these two wishes in your heart, so contradictory, the wish has become a burden, and after a long time, isn't it annoying." Why don't you dispel these two wishes today, because I have never heard of my husband's wishes, nor have I found them for him, nor have I sent them to him. Wouldn't it be better for a gentleman to live the life of a military minister with peace of mind. ”

The lean face of the man in the light blue robe showed a slight abruptness, he bowed to the ground, and said sincerely, "The third prince is really a person who wakes up in a dream, a person's life is as short as the morning dew, and the past day is hard, how can he not cherish it, and let people's lives be folded under the opinion of others? These two things, the minister accepted, thank you to the three princes, he day, if the three princes need anything, the ministers will ......"

Xia Ziyan sighed and said, "Why wait for the coming day, sir, I happen to have a problem in my heart at this time, and I ask Mr. to help solve it." ”

The man didn't respond immediately, and only excused himself slightly, "The minister is just a martial artist, and it is reasonable to use soldiers in boxing, but he doesn't dare to show ugliness in strategy, and he can't afford the title of 'sir'." How dare you slap a swollen face and become fat, and solve the doubts of the third prince. The third prince has reached the age of opening the palace and leaving the palace, and if he goes down, he will be crowned king, and there must be someone around him who can come up with ideas. ”

That's why I asked my husband's opinion. ”

The man in the light blue robe was a little surprised, he opened his mouth, lowered his body, and said honestly, "The minister is afraid, I am afraid that I will misunderstand the meaning of the third prince......"

"Fighting a war with soldiers is a matter of life and death, and the survival or defeat of the country has nothing to do with strategy? If people who are familiar with military books dare not say that they have a plan in their hearts, how can the country dare to hand over the army to them?"

The man in the light blue robe raised his body suddenly, but his gaze was still drooping, and he didn't look at Xia Ziyan's face. The light flickered past his eyes, and his eyes flickered and dimmed because of the light, and his pensive face seemed to be worried. Seeing this, Xia Ziyan opened his mouth and said, "I know what Mr. is worried about, Mr. is an important person in the military department, are you worried that I am setting up news?"

"I don't dare. ”

"I don't dare, this is a secret of the imperial court, and I don't have the heart or the courage. So, sir, don't worry, I'm just a little puzzled by this matter, and I made a few assumptions, which have nothing to do with the secrets of the imperial court. Sir, you can rest assured, you listen first, if you think you can answer, you will answer, if you don't want to speak, I don't force it. ”

He said this politely, and the man did not refuse again, so he nodded.

Xia Ziyan took a sip of the tea in his hand, the fragrance of tea was soft and fragrant between his lips and tongue, he thought about it again between tea tastings, and then asked, "If a farmer has just sown seeds, the field that has just been sown is soaked by the flood in the river, and his home is also flooded." However, the imperial court soon issued a proclamation exempting the peasants from all taxes for that year, and sent ministers to bring food and clothing to settle the peasants. When the flood waters receded, the imperial court would send people to build a dam to prevent the flood from flooding again. Houses can be rebuilt, crops can continue to be sown, and the court is so benevolent and forgiving, do you say that the peasants should be dissatisfied with the court?"
