54. Second watch

I thought it would be very simple, but when I actually started doing it, I realized that there were so many difficulties in it. The congratulatory table is a floating set of words, the most particular rhetorical allusions, the allusions are also only, many words can not even be recognized, and can not ask people at will, there is no book at hand to check, can only guess, easy to read the meaning, remembering that my mother has always liked literary people, busy and read the article again, will be obvious is good and obviously is not good, can not make up their minds to divide a dial, can be able to perfunctory the congratulatory table.

There are only three letters written by the local gentry, but they are more difficult to understand than the congratulatory table. The history of a state assassination, no matter how poor the literary style is, there are also subordinates who work on their behalf, at least the writing is smooth, and there is something to say, but these gentry are uneven. There are three articles in the book, one of which is full of typos, and it took me half an hour just to circle his typo; one is good, but it is pedantic, full of words, and I don't know what to do, and it took a lot of effort to make his abridgement; the last one is a scholar named Yao Yuanchong, who has written a lot of things, and his writing is brilliant, but what he talks about is "a truce of the army, and no merit is sought"--I almost became a princess myself, so when I heard the word "truce," I was extremely sensitive, and I was extremely reluctant to let my parents see such an article.

By the time I had finished copying the three excerpts, it was already lunchtime, and my mother sent someone to ask me to go to the front to have dinner with her and Li Rui.

When our brother and sister met one by one, Li Rui frowned and drooped his shoulders, I also hung my head and was depressed, and my mother smiled and said, "What, these things are not easy to do?"

Li Rui said sullenly: "Do things for Your Majesty, don't dare to say anything difficult." My mother smiled and asked me again, "My son, look at those songs, are there any good ones?"

I hesitated, but still said, "It's good to have a Yao Yuanchong." Picking out Yao Yuanchong's book and handing it to his mother, her mother smiled at the first glance: "Yao Yi's son? Explained to me and Li Rui: "This person's father is Yao Yi, a man from Changsha County, who was originally an old minister of Guan Long. Liulang was born in the year of the Qiong chieftain for the chaos, His Majesty sent him to serve as the governor of Wangzhou, at that time he was more than seventy years old, took the order, and settled in the southwest within a year, but unfortunately he was old and frail, and died not long after. ”

I listened to my mother's words and admired him, and asked tentatively: "In this case, does A-Niang want to meet him?"

Mother shook her head with a smile and said, "He has ambitions and will participate in the system, but now he is still gone-you can rest assured, Tubo is bound to fight, even if you don't fight, you will never be asked to go to peace." ”

My mother saw through my little thoughts, so I had to stick out my tongue and laugh.

Since my mother came out, I went to look for Wei Huan for the first time, she waited for me outside all morning, her mouth was blue from the cold, I was distressed when I saw it, and I was about to complain about why she didn't go into the house and wait, but the words changed again, and I only said: "I'm going to be here for the next few days, and you can't enter the palace, so you still stay in the courtyard." ”

Wei Huan refused: "I came with you today, and Your Majesty has also seen it, if I don't come tomorrow, won't it seem like I'm slippery and lazy?"

I laughed at her for being so careful, but she said, "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case." I had no choice but to say, "Then take the furnace with you and put on more clothes." Seeing that she didn't care much, he secretly remembered it in his heart, and tried to ask: "Ah Huan, is Ling Zun still in Beijing now?"

Wei Huan said, "What are you asking for?"

I said: "I just saw that there were a few four- or five-grade official vacancies, thinking that if he was still guarding the election, he could try." ”

Wei Huan frowned and said: "Your Majesty asked you to do something, you don't say what you see in the morning, you don't have to tell me what you see in the morning, just tell me one by one in the afternoon?" I know your intentions, but some things don't have to be like this." ”

I want to help her with some money and things, but it's not good to make up my mind from Wei Xuanzhen again, I thought silently for a while, and then came up with an idea, and pulled her and said: "I haven't played for a long time, why don't I call Cui Mingde and them to play, don't ride horses, just bow down, how about it?" Without waiting for Wei Huan to speak, he first ordered the palace people: "Go and ask Cui Mingde when they are free, by the way, go and ask Dugu again..."

Wei Huan said: "Dugu Shao." ”

I smiled and said, "It's her, invite Cui Mingde and Dugu Shao together, and everyone will have fun together." ”

Wei Huan blinked and said, "If you want to win, you'd better not call her." She and Cui Mingde are mortal enemies, and whenever the two are in a game, they must compete to win or lose before they give up. ”

I didn't understand what she meant, and I said, "What does it have to do with them if I win or lose, and if they don't win or lose, I won't have a chance of winning?"

Wei Huan said with a smile: "If Dugu Shao doesn't come, Cui Mingde will definitely let you, if she comes, the two of them have the same skills, and the original partners are also equally skilled, you replace one of them, but the other team doesn't replace others, isn't it won?"

It turned out that I hated my ball skills. I said unconvinced: "Isn't there still you? You and I are on the same team, so that the two people in this team are strong and weak, and they just make up for each other, how about it?"

Wei Huan was amused by me and laughed: "I thought you were going to make some bold statements, but you still have to be on a team with me." ”

I said confidently: "Kicking is a game in the army, and it is intended to be a two-way battle. I have never heard of a war fighting one against one, that is, some people are weaker, as long as an army wins, then he is also a winner, no matter how strong a sergeant, his army is defeated, then he is also a defeated army, the same is true of Keju, as long as my team wins, it is also my victory, as long as I win, what do you care?"

Wei Huan shook his head and said, "You always have some strange statements, I can't talk about you." You can do whatever you want, and I'll be with you to the end. ”

I laughed, "That's right." I'm going to send someone to ask them, and find a time when everyone is free. Also, the competition can't be without the color head, what do you think of the color head of a hundred runs? If the color head is too valuable, it seems to hurt and angry. ”

Wei Huan didn't know what I was thinking, and said seriously: "A hundred is still too much, just have fun with a ten-run picture." ”

I said: "There are many people in the team, even a hundred times, and there is nothing left after everyone has one point, and ten times is too stingy." ”

Wei Huan said disapprovingly: "Taking money is just a meaning, even if you take a thousand yuan, it is nothing in their eyes, but it looks tacky, why bother." According to me, you will set up a banquet to invite everyone to drink and play, and after the banquet, the one who wins will write a victory sticker, and ask the other team to sign on it and admit defeat. ”

I saw that she didn't go according to my wishes, so I was so anxious that I stomped my feet and said: "No, I said that I will use money to make lottery heads, then use money to make lottery heads, and I don't want any victory stickers." Afraid that Wei Huan would dissuade him again, he hurriedly called someone: "Move a hundred yuan in cash, I can use it." ”

Wei Huan persuaded me that I couldn't, but I was just silent.
