Mo Qing casually picked up a book on the table, turned two pages, and said, "Go down and rest!"

Jiang Zi had just knelt down, and before he could exit the door, he saw Jin Nuo swaggering in from outside. He was followed by a clear old man, and when the old man saw the emperor, he knelt on the ground and bowed, and shouted loudly: "Xiaomin Guan Ji, meet my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

Jiang Zi and the emperor glanced at each other, immediately understood, gently closed the door, and guarded outside.

Mo Qing glanced at Jin Nuo, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but he was helpless, and shook his head slightly. turned to get up and said, "Aiqing was once a royal painter of the court, and he also made a lot of contributions to the royal family. Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, please get up! ”

Guan Ji got up and only looked at Jin Nuo with his eyes, and the two of them frowned and didn't speak.

Mo Qing knew in his heart that these painters and poets were nothing more than a little quirky, and they were all arrogant, and they were all strange in the world, and the eighth floor was to ask for things with themselves.

Mo Qing saw that neither of them spoke, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Guan, you love painting all your life, which makes me envious!" It's a pity that I'm not as idle as the old gentleman, and I'm unrestrained. Now, how are the families doing? ”

Guan Ji didn't dare to raise his head, listening to the emperor praising himself and chatting about family life, he suddenly felt that he was cared for, and his blood surged. The corners and corners of an old heart are warm, all thorough. immediately replied, "Emperor Lao is worried, thanks to Lord Qi's care, the small people's families are fine." In the past two years, the imperial court policy has been good, and the harvest of the small people has been much better than in previous years. Life in other townships is also much better, and there is still extra spare money to invite Xiaomin to paint, and some people have a pair a year since the child was born, and they give a lot of rewards. There are also friends who get together, come to Xiaomin to paint, and there are also couplets written during the New Year's holidays, and Xiaomin is too busy. ”

Mo Qing nodded, paced a few steps in the room, and said with a smile: "Sounds pretty good." I heard that you have newly married your daughter-in-law. According to the courtesy, tomorrow your son should also accompany his daughter-in-law back to the door, have you prepared anything? ”

Guan Ji only felt that the emperor's question was interesting, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that Xiaomin's daughter-in-law was chosen by Xiaomin's son himself. These return gifts don't need to be prepared by Xiaomin, they are all prepared by Xiaomin's son in advance. Besides, the drunken girl has everything at home, and she doesn't look down on anything tacky. ”

Mo Qing put down the scroll in his hand, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Your son's daughter-in-law chosen by himself?" How to choose? After that, he pointed to the chair next to him, Guan Ji bent down to thank him, and sat down.

The sandalwood incense in the house is still burning, curling green smoke, slightly smoky.

Guan Ji dared to raise his eyes and look at Shengyan, then lowered his head again, and said with a smile, "This daughter of Jiangnan, generally from childhood to adulthood, has invited Xiaomin to paint. Xiaomin must paint two pictures each time, one for the master's house, and the other for himself to bring back and keep as a souvenir. Hehe, in fact, Xiaomin is also selfish. When Xiaomin's son reached the age of trial marriage, as Xiaomin guessed in his heart, no one took a fancy to Xiaomin's son. The drunk girl fell ill last year, and temporarily lived in Xiaomin's house to recuperate, and on her birthday, Xiaomin drew a picture for her as usual. Seeing that the maid she was waiting for was dignified and decent, and that there was nothing wrong with handling housework, he also drew a picture for her. That night, Xiaomin went back to urge my son to marry quickly, but Xiaomin's son was not happy in every way. Later, Xiaomin thought of a way and quietly asked his subordinates to take all the scrolls. Xiaomin's father and son held the lamp and picked up the painting, and Xiaomin's son picked the weaving girl at a glance. ”

Jin Nuo laughed when he heard this, Mo Qing couldn't help laughing, and asked again, "That drunk girl lived with you a few days ago, why hasn't your son-in-law even seen her personal maid?" ”

Guan Ji replied honestly, "The drunken girl's mother and Mrs. Xiaomin are sisters, Mrs. Xiaomin passed away early, and the drunken girl's mother took her sister and brother to Jiangnan with her brother-in-law every year to celebrate the New Year with Xiaomin's father and son." When I was a child, the two children used to play together, but when they grew up, the drunk girl came back and lived in the backyard. Even in the past few years, it has only been a hurried New Year's dinner, and she hasn't paid much attention to the maids around her. It was only two years ago, the drunk girl was not in good health, and the family was doing business, there were many people coming and going, and she didn't like to disturb people, so she lived for a month, so she bought another yard and moved out. The drunk girl can't get sick, and the inside and outside of the family should be the responsibility of Xiaomin's daughter-in-law, and she takes care of this drunk house in an orderly manner, which is really a rare clever person. When the villain saw it at the time, he secretly noticed it in his heart. ”

Mo Qing nodded and said with a smile, "It sounds like a good marriage, in the future, if there are any interesting stories in the township, you can write excerpts and I know." ”

Guan Ji glanced at Jin Nuo and saw that he was looking away, thinking that he didn't want to be deeply involved in officialdom back then, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to enjoy half his life. I was involved with the royal family again, and I was afraid that I would cause trouble for no reason, so I hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that he hesitated to answer, Mo Qing asked with a smile, "Mr. Guan, what are the difficulties?" ”

Guan Ji stood up, not daring to show what he was thinking, so he had to bow and say, "Xiaomin commands!" ”

Mo Qing's face was a little happy, and he took a sip of tea gently, seeing Guan Ji sitting on the chair, as if there was something difficult, he couldn't make a decision. He got up with a smile and said, "Mr. Guan, have you already discussed with the prince and come to me to ask for something?" ”

When Jin Nuo heard this, his eyes glanced out of the window, and he suddenly got up and said, "Something has just been pounced, so I'll go and take a look." With that, he dodged out the door.

Guan Ji had no choice but to say boldly: "Everyone says that in this world, there are three beautiful men, the young son of heaven Ning Xi, Dongyu Xianshan Qingyue, and the three sons of Qinghuang."

Mo Qing smiled slightly, and said in his heart, this old monster is really old and confused, in front of me, to discuss my appearance, I don't know if it is a big disrespect? I'm here to scare him. He raised his voice and said coldly, "You people are commenting on my appearance and thinking it's a beauty pageant, is it really unreasonable? So, what sin do you say should be punished?
