Ji Xuanyuan asked Xu Mingchang again, "What did you write?" Show me? ”

Xu Mingchang hurriedly covered the red cloth strip in his hand, "Don't look at the emperor, the slave can be ashamed!" ”

"Why, you've written it all up, you're not ashamed, it's going to laugh with me?"

"The slave is afraid of staining the emperor's eyes!"

"All you want in life is the four joys, which one of you has to be ashamed of, isn't it the last one?"

Li Siyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Xu Mingchang made a bitter face, "Your Majesty, you are laughing at the minions again, how dare the minions have such delusions, they are all stabbed guys." Your Majesty, the slave is also your leader and eunuch, don't call the slave from the stage in front of the little ones! ”

"Alright. New Year's Day, joking with you, don't you know what you're asking for? One day, I will be the master for you. ”

When Xu Mingchang heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "The slave thanks the emperor for his grace, and the slave thanks the emperor for his grace." ”

Ji Xuanyuan stretched out his hand to help Xu Mingchang up, "During the Chinese New Year, you don't have to always kneel if you don't have anything to do, your knees are not good, the root of the disease that fell back then has been so many years, and I have used a lot of medicine, but I haven't seen you well." I've been following me for so many years, and I know it in my heart. ”

Xu Mingchang wiped a handful of tears, and Ren Qiwan asked quietly, "Lord An, what do you say is the wish of this father-in-law Xu?" ”

An Sui thought for a while, "Probably just want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors!" That's what life wants. ”

Ren Qiwan nodded, "This Chinese New Year, I can't help but feel homesick." In previous years, when I was at home, my brothers and sisters played with firecrackers at this time, and then cooked New Year's dinner in one place, which was also a lively time. Now in the palace, there is only one person. I don't know why, I regret participating in the women's scientific examination a little. It's only in its second year! It will take seven years to stay up until I leave the palace, and I feel sad when I think about it. ”

An Sui asked, "Why did you want to come to participate in the women's scientific examination in the first place?" ”

"For the sake of the family! My grandfather was originally a general minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Taiyi Ancestral Dynasty, and neither my father nor my uncle were admitted to the meritorious examination, but only became local petty officials. We have only two brothers in our family, but we have six sisters, and two younger brothers are not yet 10 years old, but they are not very fond of reading. My grandmother felt that it was impossible to rely on my two brothers, and when the news of the female scientific examination was released, I was the only one in our family who was not bad at studying, and I could barely recite poetry correctly, so my grandmother insisted that I come. I didn't want to come, but my grandmother talked to me about a lot of things, and I came. I didn't expect to stay in the harem and be a female official. But because of this, my grandmother wrote to me before, saying that the situation at home was much better. The local prefect recommended my two brothers to the best school in the area. My eldest sister is married to the governor's third son, and the third sister is also engaged. ”

Ren Qiwan said that her voice was choked, and An Sui patted her shoulder, "It's okay, seven years will pass soon." Although there is only one person in the palace, there are still sisters in the palace to accompany them. ”

"I'm not sad about this, sometimes I think about it, I just feel unfair." Ren Qiwan raised his head for a long time and smiled at An Sui, "Then why did you come to participate in the women's scientific examination?" ”

"I want to be an official in the court. Of course, there is also the reason you said, for the sake of revitalizing the family. Our whole family was slaughtered by the avant-garde, my father was the only one who escaped from that incident, and there were only two people in our family, my brother and me, my father went early, and he still had many things to do. My brother is in the barracks, so I want to be an official in the court and fight for my father. ”

"The Marquis of Jin should be very good to treat adults! The talent of the adult is also inherited by the Marquis of Jin. ”

"What I learned, but less than a tenth of my father's, my father died early, and while he was still alive, he taught me only two things, one was to read, and the other was to write. These are probably the only two things that I will do today, and although they are small, they will benefit me very much. ”

Ren Qiwan smiled, "The adults also said that they know less, just these two things, but many people can't envy the ability." There are many parents who teach their children a lot, but it may not be useful, and it is better to teach them to fish than to teach them to fish. ”

The palace maid Yiwen ran over, "What are the two adults talking about!" But it's going to set off firecrackers, do you want adults to come and see it? ”

Ren Qiwan said, "Naturally, I want it." ”

The sound of firecrackers crackled and was so lively, as if the solemn and depressing palace suddenly became popular.

I don't know if Gonggong Xu or who suddenly said, "Let's have a snowball fight, this snow is so thick, let's have a fun." In previous years, it was all the palace people who lost the new ones, and whoever was thrown more was lost, the better the luck in the coming year. This year, only one of them is new. ”

So all the palace people greeted An Sui one after another, and said auspicious words while throwing them back.

An Sui also laughed while accepting everyone's auspicious words, and from time to time he also threw a few to Ren Qiwan and Li Siyi. I don't know what's going on, Ji Xuanyuan also suddenly joined the ranks of snowball fights, but no one dared to lose the emperor, An Sui aimed at an empty place, reached out and pinched a piece of snow and threw it on Ji Xuanyuan's body, "May the emperor have all the best in the coming year, and the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will be safe!" ”

Ji Xuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Well said! ”

After that, he stretched out his hand and threw one to An Sui, "Then I wish An Sui to truly follow his heart in the coming year, be healthy and healthy, and become my minister and the pillar of Chu." ”

There is another sentence that can't be said, Ji Xuanyuan looked at An Sui's smile, he had never seen her smile like this, she stood in the snow, wearing a plain jacket, and under the plum blossoms, she seemed to be a beauties who were left behind and independent. She is exquisite, but not so much that she will fall for the country.

But at this moment, she fell on his world.
