In all fairness, Wan'er's poem is not superior, but this change of opportunity and intention is beyond the reach of ordinary people. My mother has always been lenient and not obsessed with small negligence, so she should not be too harsh on Wan'er for these small flaws, but if my mother really doesn't care about these small things, why should she ask me a special sentence? If it were usual, I might have been bolder, coquettish with my mother, and pleaded for Wan'er, but now Wu Minzhi is outside, Wu Minzhi is to me to my mother, just like kissing me to Li Sheng, they are all thorns in my heart, whenever I want to be close to my mother and brother, this thorn will be pricked in my heart, so that I have to think a little more about it.

I hesitated, but I still said cautiously: "Taiping is a shallow learner, and he doesn't dare to talk about it." ”

My mother's smile subsided a little, and she gently stroked my forehead with her hand, and said, "It's been cold in the past few days, is it freezing?

My eyebrows jumped, and I didn't have time to plead, so I heard Wan'er say softly: "Did you have no food in the morning, are you hungry?"

I'm actually not hungry, but I hurriedly said: "I'm a little hungry, A-Niang has something to eat, just reward me a little." ”

My mother looked at her suspiciously, probed my forehead, neck, and hands to make sure there was no fever, and then said to Wan'er, "What is there to eat here?"

Wan'er said unhurriedly: "Have you forgotten Your Majesty? ”

The mother bowed slightly, "I forgot that he was still outside, so let him in." ”

Wan'er looked at the palace people at the door, someone had already gone out, and they came in after a while, but the side door was open, Wu Minzhi led many people who were still eating to enter, put a lot of small tables, and opened all the food box baskets of Fang Cai, and the things inside were brought out in the same way - each food box has a small stove, and then the dishes are placed on the stove, so only one or two things can be placed in a box, and there are more than 100 kinds of dishes and snacks and drinks offered by Wu Minzhi, and there are sixty or seventy food boxes alone.

When you open it to see, there is a delicate one of the sheep only take four taels of spirit burning, pickled cherry piled up of red preserved chest, rough have sheep arm, venison, wine has condensate pulp, osmanthus ferment, tea has green flower, purple ying, dim sum is all kinds of cheese and cake balls, rice has soup cakes, flax cakes, the most rare is that there are many persimmons, oranges, pears, leeks, celery, turnips, woad, taro, lotus root and other vegetables and fruits.

Wu Minzhi gave a national salute to his mother first, and waited for his mother to call him up, but he saluted again: "My nephew has seen my aunt and Erniang." ”

The mother glanced at the dishes in the room, and said lightly: "I sent these things in the early morning, I'm tired of you, I'm afraid that the cost of this plate will cost the property of several families?"

Wu Minzhi said with a smile: "Hard work and money are secondary, as long as you can make your aunt happy, it is the filial piety of being a nephew." The nephew also prepared two Pegasus, 100 royal clothes, and 10 boxes of jewelry for his aunt. ”

Mother frowned and said: "Now that there is a great drought in Gyeonggi, 400 yuan of rice, and hundreds of people die of starvation, I am the queen, I should be thrifty, thinking that the world is exemplary, but you are offering these things, what is the purpose?"

Wu Minzhi's face changed slightly, he knelt down in one step, and kowtowed again and again: "My nephew is confused, my nephew is just a filial piety, thinking that His Majesty came to Ruzhou, clothes and food, may not be used to it, and this winter is cold, even better than before, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be prepared, so I specially prepared food and clothes such as the case of Gyeonggi, and I did not deliberately deface His Majesty's name." ”

I really hated him, and when I heard that there was a loophole in his words, I said coldly next to him: "You are far away in Minzhou, how do you know the usual food in the palace?" and wanted to ask a question, "Your Majesty uses the degree, the palace can't make up for it, but you want to make up for it in the history of the state assassination", but I felt that my elbow was stabbed, I resisted the urge to turn back, and tilted my head back slightly, and I saw Wan'er shake her head very slightly at me, so she closed her mouth, and my mother listened to me, but smiled, and took me in her arms, and when she looked at Wu Min, her face sank again, and said: " Punish you for half a year, and your chariots, horses, and clothes will be folded into money and silk, and paid into the household department together with the money—go, go back and think about it. ”

Wu Minzhi withdrew in panic, and Shangshi wanted to withdraw the food he had offered, but his mother pointed to the red cheese and a few kinds of cheese and said: "These are left, and the rest are taken out, and ten plates are given to several ministers, Xu Jingzong is old, and half of the fruit will be given to him, and the rest will be divided with the officials in front of the palace according to the grade." ”

When the people left, Fang took my hand and sat down, and the palace people served another daily meal, but there were only more than ten plates in front of my mother, and only a few plates in front of me.

Mother said: "There is also a seat for Shangguan talents." After giving half of the things she had left behind to me and half to Wan'er, the two of us thanked the Holy Grace and sat down separately, and after a few sips, we heard my mother smile and say, "My son seems to have something to say?"

I deliberately said angrily: "It's not endless, and if I say it ten thousand times, he is also my cousin, the nephew of Ah Niang's sister-in-law." We are relatives of the family, and everything we do is the face of A-Niang, so we still don't hurt the peace. ”

Mother lowered her eyes and looked at a plate of mutton in front of her, Gao Yanfu hurriedly withdrew from the food, bowed forward, cut a thin slice for her, and sandwiched it in the cake to offer to her, my mother pinched the cake and glanced at me, I was busy scooping a spoonful of pickled cherries, mixed with cheese and eating a big bite, my mother shook her head and smiled: "It doesn't look like anything at all." ”

I smiled and said, "It's only like this in front of my mother, but if there are outsiders, it's different." As he spoke, he had eaten a bowl of cheese. I got up too early in the morning and was lazy to eat, so Wei Huan filtered the soup cakes sent by Shangshi, mixed them with dogwood, pepper, garlic and meat sauce to make something like cold tao, and coaxed me to eat a big bowl.

My mother, apparently seeing my embarrassment, stopped her thrashing and beckoned to me, "Son, come here." ”

I slowly got up and rubbed to her side, my mother pulled me to sit down, and with one hand to touch my stomach, I shrank back and shouted "A-Niang" with a shy face. My mother patted me on the head and said a little sternly, "Sit down." I sat down and let her rub my belly, and then she said to the door, "Let the people who are with the princess come in today." ”

Outside the word, not long after seeing Wei Huan with two palace people and two eunuchs bending in, Wei Huan wanted to kneel behind, but his mother directly named: "Wei Si." ”

Wei Huan knelt down respectfully, kneeled forward, fell on the ground, and obeyed my mother's orders, I saw that my mother was not happy on her face, and I was about to get up in a hurry, and was held down by my mother, so I had to look hard at Wei Huan beside her, but unfortunately Wei Huan was arrogant and domineering in front of me, but I didn't even dare to raise my head when I came to my mother, I made my eyes cramp here, but she knelt there motionless, and my mother asked her: "What did the princess use this morning?" Qi played His Majesty, Chou Zheng got up, ate a bowl of bean tea, and later used a bowl of soup cakes, and when he went out, he also ate half a boiled chicken. ”

My mother squinted at me, and I argued, "I was full, but when I arrived at A-Niang, I was hungry again, and I always felt that I needed something to eat." Unconsciously, he brought out the unreasonable and coquettish tone that he usually spoiled his parents, and simply said nonsense: "It's me who is not good, now that there is a big drought, my mother is thrifty, but I eat so much..."

My mother's face was calm, not like she was angry, not like she wasn't angry, she stared at me for a moment, didn't say anything, only held her knees and got up slowly, I quickly stood up and went to help my mother with both hands, my mother looked at my hand, and after a while, I put my hand on my hand, I supported my mother in the posture of Li Lianying supporting Cixi, and sent her to the front hall, where there were already several courtiers waiting.

My mother stopped at the door, looked sideways at me, and said, "I heard that you live with Wei Si at night?"

I felt a pang in my heart and forced a smile: "The wind is strange at night, and the hula hula sounds scary, and I can't sleep without anyone to accompany me." ”

Mother sighed and said, "I allow you to consider the personnel of the palace by yourself, so that you can learn to be strict with rewards and punishments, and set up rules, not to ask you to be willful and indulge in others." ”

I had to say, "Yes." Fortunately, my mother did not say a word of reproach, but said: "There are many congratulatory tables today, so you are good to look at, and you are not allowed to be lazy and slippery." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "A-Niang, don't worry." ”

The mother paused, and Fang said: "Transcribe the poems of the talented people of Shangguan." ”

I was more relieved and said, "Yes." ”
