The sky was a little gray, and as far as the eye could see, it was vast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info must be the reason for the snow that just fell the night before, and the north wind is extremely cold.

The attic in front of you is located on the north side of the main courtyard of the entire mansion, and in front of the attic is a path paved with bluestone, because of the heavy snowfall, the background color of bluestone is exposed. The bluestone path winds and is surrounded by green trees at the bends of the path. Along the path to the attic, the red plum blossoms under the attic are sparsely bloomed, and the branches are pressed against the unfallen snow, red and white, which is very beautiful.

It was already early in the morning, the yard had already been cleaned, and the subordinates had begun to get busy, but their feet were on the snow, and their movements were very light.

In the room, there are mostly mahogany furniture. Unlike later beds, this bed is more like a large cabinet with a wooden roof and sides, with floating carvings on the inside of the bed and a blue gauze tent in front of the window. Su Chi was a little sleepy-eyed, and he didn't lift the curtain, lazily looked up at the window, and asked in a loud voice, "What time is it?"

"It's too late, is the girl going to get up?" As she spoke, a woman in a light green dress walked in, she held a copper basin and put it aside, although it was a question, but she already knew the master's intentions. My own girl never sleeps.

Su Chi lifted the bed, revealing a delicate little face, folded the foot of the book that he had read half of last night and handed it to the maid, and sighed in his heart. Others pick up the lamp and read hard in order to read, but she is good, she has to note punctuation before reading, and it is midnight after the note. But who told her to carry the memories of her previous life, many opinions are preconceived, and she really can't get used to the ancients not punctuating. I remember that when I first opened my eyes, I became a toddler, and I still feel like I am still in a dream.

It was rare to sleep lazy, and asked the girl in surprise, "Why didn't you wake me up today?" At this time, I'm afraid that my husband has been waiting in Bengju for a long time. The one who spoke was Su Chi, the only concubine of Su Yuan, who was the right minister, and her girl was obviously not in a hurry, she skillfully hung up the bed, and knocked a few times on the window to the south, and the four pink-clothed maids entered one after another. Streamer is holding clothes, Liushuo is holding makeup, and the driver is cleaning up the bed, very skilled.

The woman in light green clothes replied with a smile while squatting to put on Su Chi's shoes: "Mr. Xie has instructed the slave maid, the girl has been doing a lot of homework recently, she must sleep late at night, and she doesn't have to get up early today." What's more, today is the winter solstice, so you don't have to go to Bengju. As long as the girl doesn't miss the banquet of the prince in the evening, it's fine. What she didn't say was that who in this house didn't know that the lord would respond to the girl's needs, even if he was late, who would dare to say anything?

Only then did Su Chi notice that what Dong Yu was holding in his hand was not his usual clothes, but a red half-arm, a long pink skirt on the lower body, and a peach blossom of the same color embroidered on the waist and the veil, which was the standard attire for the noble women of Beiwan to participate in the banquet.

Although Beiwan originates from the blood of the Han people, but because of the barren location, for many years, Beiwan has annexed many small countries in the north because of its good riding and shooting, and has long pursued the art of co-indulgence, intermarriage with foreign clans for generations, so the blood is mixed, and the children of the nobles especially have the characteristics of the Hu people. On weekdays, some people wear felt hats, but they have always regarded themselves as the state of etiquette, so every banquet is still the dress of the Han people.

The woman in the green shirt inserted a light pink hibiscus jade hairpin into Su Chi's hammerhead, Su Chi sat in front of the mirror, and was served by the maid, "Dongyu, when will Mr. return to Xie's house?"

The green-shirted woman's name is Dongyu, and she is the maid that Su Yuan personally chose for her beloved daughter, although Dongyu is only thirteen years old, she is calm and clever, and she can't find fault with Su Chi. As the girl's housekeeper, Dongyu's news is obviously very psychic. "Mr. Xie was pestered late by the girl in Bengju yesterday, and he was going to go back overnight, but then the lord said that it was cold in winter, and Mr. was weak, if he didn't dislike it, he could spend the winter solstice in Sujia. The gentleman was afraid that it would be difficult to refuse, so he could only stay. ”

Su Chi obviously didn't believe it, what kind of person Xie Yu was, she knew best, how could she not even go home for a big festival like the winter solstice because of the cold and fear of freezing. However, the most wealthy families are filthy, not to mention the reason why Xie Yu is reluctant to return, Su Chi also knows that it is not about himself, Su Chi obviously does not plan to ask more.

As a nine-year-old girl, the focus of her words on Dongyu was the word "entanglement", and she was dissatisfied at the moment. "Where did I pester my husband, it was obvious that my husband saw that I was studious, and his intention was too enthusiastic, so it was difficult to refuse. ”

Dongyu smiled, and didn't plan to argue with his own girl, "Yes, yes, I didn't see the girl messing around, it's all Mr. Xie's fault." ”

"Ah, Dongyu, you are so bold, you dare to judge the number one talent in Jinling City. "It's boring to be idle, but Su Chi makes fun of his maid.

Mr. Xie Yu of Xixi of Suchi, the word Biechuan, was born in Pingcheng Xie, as a century-old family, Xie has always been a model for the world's scholars, the teacher of the Su family is the eldest son of Xie Yu, the current head of the Xie family, Xie Yu, the word Biechuan, when he was young, he was a famous rich and noble son of Jinling City, known as the first genius of Jinling, his poetry is gorgeous and exquisite, and even Su Yuan, the head of the Su family, praised "the word Beichuan can be a thousand gold". It's just that the legend is that this Xie eldest son is weak and doesn't love his career, so the head of the Su family loves his talent and asks him to teach his daughter poems and books.

Su Yuan treated Xie Yuli very well, where is this a maid in Dongyu who cannot, but this word can't be passed on, the girl's maid questioned the girl's husband, and was heard with ulterior motives, and I don't know what it will become. Dongyu shouted wronged, "Where does the slave dare to question Mr., if Mr. is not a talent, where is he the girl's teacher?"

Thousands of wears, sycophants don't wear, not to mention that these words not only praised Xie Yu, but also praised Su Chi, Su Chi did not debunk it, and made a very useful appearance, at least Dongyu saw his own girl's pear vortex, and secretly sighed No matter how smart and precocious he was, after all, he was a nine-year-old child, and he was a child to be coaxed.

Since he "accidentally" slept past breakfast time, and Su Chi did not have the habit of brunch, Su Chi simply went to see his father.

At this moment, Su Yuan was playing against Xie Yu in the study, and the four corners of the study were burning with silver silk carbon, and the two of them were sitting on the couch, with a low table in the middle. The owner, Su Yuan, knelt on the east side of the low table, wearing a light brown regular clothes, a string of white jade rings around his waist, and a red Yingluo, sitting casually. And because of his fair face, he has grown a beard for many years at the age of 40, and he looks like a famous man in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Although Xie Yu is famous, just because he became famous too early, he has not yet reached the crown. Xie Yu was dressed in white, sitting opposite Su Yuan according to the rules of the main east and west, his face was calm, his eyebrows were clear, and he had the nobility and elegance of the hundred-year-old clan in his gestures. Su Yuan was accustomed to taking the black first, and he was unwilling to bully the juniors, so he let Xie Yu have three sons.

While the two were thinking, a man in a blue robe said in a deep voice at the door, "Guogong, the girl is here." ”

Su Yuan fell again, and before he could say anything, Su Chi had already followed the man in the cyan robe in, and her maids Streamer and Liushuo Hou were outside the door. The man in the green shirt looked at Su Yuan, his face was ashamed, and he just lowered his head and clenched his fists. Su Yuan was already aware of it, and he was not angry, he just waved his hand and smiled: "Sang Yu, go down, it's okay." ”

When Qingcheng retreated, Su Yuan began to teach Su Chi a lesson, "It's getting more and more willful, Daddy's study, dare to break in? Are there any rules? Don't Chuan smiled, my daughter is really naughty, don't Chuan bother." The last sentence was obviously said to Xie Yu. Xie Yu didn't have a crown, and he shouldn't have been called a word, but Xie Yu became famous too early, so he took the word early.

Xie Yu also understands people, Sang Yu is the leader of Su Yuan's guards, and it doesn't matter how many assassinations he has experienced over the years, where can he not stop a little girl, although Su Chi is pampered, in the end it was acquiesced by Su Yuan. Xie Yu seemed to be thoughtful, and the chess in his hand had stopped, "The girl is innocent and straightforward, and her nature is simple. ”

"Bei Chuan doesn't have to save face for her, this girl has done a lot of things to kick her nose and face, so she should be disciplined well. Su Yuan scolded, but there was a smile on his face.

Su Chi didn't follow, so he grabbed Su Yuan's sleeve at the moment, "Daddy has such a big temper, isn't it unhappy to lose chess?"

Su Yuan didn't explain, the chess pieces were still rubbing in his hands, and he just looked at her with a smile. Su Chi smiled and bent down to salute. "I've seen Daddy, I've seen Sir. ”

Su Yuan raised his hand to let her go with satisfaction, turned his head to Xie Yu and said, "It seems that there is no need to play this chess today, it is all to blame Ah Chi for disturbing." Su Yuan sat back and pushed away the chessboard in front of him.

Xie Yu got up and arched his hand, "Guogong is good at chess, and the younger generation admires him very much." ”

Su Chi looked at the chess game at this time, and was shocked by this exquisite chess game for a while. Black and white are not at odds with each other. The sunspot is on the offensive and the killing move is secretly attacked, while the white son is on the defensive and does not give up an inch of land. It's a pity that I came too early and couldn't finish watching the ending of this game. I can't help but slander in my heart: If my father wants to, what can I hinder, and the left and right are just an excuse. Only then did I feel that Xie Yu's words were exquisite.

Su Chi was still staring at the chess game, and the maid was already serving tea.

"I heard that you quarreled with Beichuan in Bengju yesterday?" Seeing Su Chi staring at the chess game tightly, Su Yuan looked up and asked her.

For her father's quick thinking, Su Chi has always been difficult to match, and she was still thinking about the chess game in front of her, when she heard Xie Yu answering for her.

"Guogong misunderstood, it was not a quarrel, it was just teaching and learning from each other and discussing with each other. ”

Su Yuan originally asked casually, but when he heard Xie Yu say this, he was interested.

Xie Yu didn't answer, just lowered his head and sipped tea. Su Yuan smiled and looked at Su Chi.

Su Chi is not afraid of Su Yuan on weekdays, but he can't resist Su Yuan's usual unfathomable smile, so he had to answer truthfully, "It's nothing, but yesterday Mr. talked about "Cai Wei", and by the way, he mentioned the story of the son of the Lone Bamboo King, Bo Yi, and Shu Qi Cai Wei and eat, Mr. said that the two princes hid in the mountains and forests for loyalty and righteousness, and were not afraid of power, noble and proud, and were admired by future generations. ”

Su Yuan didn't buy it, "And then?"

Su Chi originally wanted to prevaricate in the past, but he had no choice but to continue, "I disagree with my husband, I just think that in the past, the Shang Dynasty was a country, and King Wu of Zhou was also the king of the Zhou Dynasty after the war.

Su Yuan paused for a moment, his eyes were a little relieved, but he didn't agree with the words he said, "Uncle Boyi's humility and loyalty are a good story that has been passed down for centuries, even Sage Kong is amazed, where is it your turn to be such a fallacy for this little girl?"

Su Chi didn't agree, not to mention that she agreed more in her heart that "the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", and retorted when she raised her head, "Loyalty is certainly respectable, but I am sorry for my biological parents for life and death, and I am ashamed to be so stupid and loyal to the people of the world, not to mention that those children talk about the well-being of the people and the society of the world on weekdays, and they don't only care about who the emperor is at the critical moment?

Although he knew that his daughter had been wise since she was a child and had unique ideas, Su Yuan was still shocked by Su Chi's fallacy. He sighed in his heart, where is the difference between the teacher and the student, and it is clearly a different angle. Xie Yu praised Uncle Boyi for being courteous, gentle, loyal and patriotic, which is also the consistent view of later generations, especially scholars. And Su Chi actually criticized every sentence, although the idea was immature, but it was in line with his mind for no reason. Su Yi's angle is enough to make people frightened, and Su Yuan can't help but wonder himself: Is it because he has taught too much on weekdays, so that Su Chi always shows an inappropriate young man at a young age?

Su Yuan also had a dissolute and uninhibited personality in his early years, and he was always proud of his daughter's self-indulgence, so he didn't mind the disrespect in Su Chi's tone. It's just that I'm afraid he will learn Xie Yu's acupuncture and disadvantages, sharp and scathing. At the moment, Su Yuan didn't say much, but talked about the chess game again, "Since you are interested in chess, I will teach you another day." ”

Su Chi didn't have time to study these advanced things in her previous life, but the boudoir was too boring, she usually watched Su Yuan play, and she was really greedy. But Xie Yu, who is usually a good talker, talked about teaching her to play chess, and he didn't let go. It's just that she was tightly entangled, Xie Yu only talked about the chess scriptures for half an hour, and at most let her watch them play chess, although Su Chi is smart, she can only say "you can see a good hand of chess". This was given by Su Yuan's permission, and he was satisfied.

The three of them chatted for a while, until Sang Yu came in to ask for instructions, and it was obvious that Su Yuan was on official business, Xie Yu's eyes darkened, and then he resigned.

Su Chi followed Xie Yu out of Su Yuan's Ming Courtyard, Su Chi just stepped out of the courtyard door, and the streamer thoughtfully handed Su Chi a warm pot, but Su Chi looked at the streamer unhappily: "Why don't you take one for Mr., Mr.'s yard is still far away, go back and get one for Mr." ”

Before Su Chi took the girl to the Ming Courtyard, he didn't know that Xie Yu was also here, Su Chi has always been kind to his subordinates, and it is rare to have such a seizure on the spot, Streamer felt a little aggrieved in his heart, and went back to follow Su Chi's instructions by himself.

After the streamer left, Su Ji turned his head to look at the streamer behind him. Liushuo just lowered his head and walked extremely slowly.

Xie Yu didn't say anything, nor did he thank him, it seemed that what Su Chi had just explained had nothing to do with him, but just followed Su Chi all the way forward. Xie Yu's temperament is very quiet, usually in Bengju, he reads alone, and no one is allowed to disturb him, and he can practice calligraphy for half a day. Although he has been a gentleman for Su Chi for two or three years, usually the two of them are mostly silent, but Su Chi enjoys this quietness very much, this huge Guogong Mansion, there are many things to say, and this quietness makes her feel at ease for no reason. But today, she pretended to have something in her heart, so she opened her mouth first, "Sir, just ······"

"You said it very well. Xie Yu didn't seem surprised that she asked. In fact, Xie Yu's feelings about the only concubine of the head of the Su family are also very complicated, and his position in the Xie family is very embarrassing. is full of talent and learning, but because the Xie family is self-respecting and noble, he can't enter the office, and the name of the first talent is really like a joke. At this time, he was grateful for the olive branch of the Duke of Yasukuni, although the Xie family has academies in various places, and there are many discerning people in the family, but most of the people in the Xie family value some young students, and they are trained in the hope of being named on the gold list. After all, there are only a few titles on the gold list, not to mention that most of the titles on the gold list have been in low-level official positions for many years, and there are too few people who can really show their talents. His body may not be able to wait until that time.

And Su Yuan, as the Duke of Yasukuni of the Beiwan Dynasty, is a person who can speak in front of His Majesty. This Yasukuni Duke was chic and wanton when he was young, but he supported the originally unremarkable Ning Zhan all the way to the throne, and the toughness of his methods can be imagined. Xie Yu faintly felt in his heart that there might be more opportunities to enter the Su family.

"Then I was relieved. He replied that he was relieved, but Su Chi was not at ease in his heart, and Su Chi was a little apprehensive about Su Yuan's question.

Xie Yu didn't mind that his cautious words were interpreted by Su Chi as perfunctory. He had his considerations in mind. When Su Yuan asked, he was shocked, although he knew that Su Yuan spoiled this daughter too much, and he also expected that there was nothing in this Yasukuni Mansion that could be hidden from the Guogong, but he didn't expect that a small dispute in Bengju could be asked by the Guogong who had every opportunity. Moreover, what Guogong asked him to teach was poetry, and Guogong also hinted in his words on weekdays, "There are many conspiracies and dark things in history books, and Ah Chi should not listen to them when he is young." ”

It's just that this princess is not good at poetry, he explained "Poems", but he didn't expect that she was not interested in Xiaoya, which women of this age are keen on, and he bothered a lot but it didn't work, but he liked to listen to the boring "National Style". At first, he only thought that this girl was too young to understand the beauty of elegance, but later found that she not only read "Chinese", but also liked the Analects. Xie Yu occasionally clicked on it, only to find out that Su Chi was by no means a good dragon of Ye Gong, although she had biased ideas, she had unique opinions, and she was also quite interested in history books and geography. When he is bored, he often talks about the official history of the past dynasties and the old things of Jinling to pass the time. However, he didn't want Guogong to know, but fortunately, Su Chi always deduced that it was an allusion in the poem.

The most important thing is that Su Chi sighed at the end of the conversation yesterday, "If the king has no way, the minister has no skill, then the scholar will be martyred, and the woman will marry." Su Chi's words really frightened him, thinking of the marriage between Su Nu and the royal family from generation to generation, he pondered for a long time, silent, at this moment, looking at the young woman in front of him, a ballad that has been sung in Jinling City for many years suddenly appeared in his mind: "The world of the Ning family, the money of the Shen family; ”

The Ning family is a heavenly family, the dignity is incomparable, the Shen family is the first grain merchant in the world, and they still sell illegal salt in private, and there has always been a saying that the rich rival the country. The children of the Xie family are good at poetry and books, and they love elegant things, and they write down on the notebook when the literary thoughts are springing, and the notebook is light and thin and not easy to preserve, and it is often picked up and passed on as a classic. And the Su family has always been a powerful family, the previous heads of the family are the humerus of the court, unfortunately the Su family has always been thin, especially the family is the most, even the current Guogong sister-in-law Su Cen is not the son of the Guogong, and because the Guogong has no biological brothers, Su Cen is only a nephew outside of Su Yuan's five suits, Su Yuan is a young man out of Beijing to practice, and the family is not close, although Su Cen is under Su Yuan's knees, but he is not small when he passes, and Su Yuan is still young, when to add another male is unknown, and Su Yuan treats him just kindly, not to talk about any father and son filial piety。 The most interesting thing is that the daughters of the Su family are all smart and knowledgeable, and they have always been a model for the upper-class women of the Beiwan aristocracy to learn. The Su family sent women into the palace from generation to generation, and the imperial concubines who favor the harem today are also from the Su family.

Could it be that all the women of the Su family are born with divine endowment?
