On the day that Qi Shi was knighted, Brother Jiu took Hajlan back to his parents' house to celebrate. After returning home, Hajlan pondered what Amma had said to him in private, and Amma's words seemed to have opened up her second line. What she is most afraid of is just a failed ending, so just change it! If the traverser is a butterfly, she has been a butterfly specimen for more than ten years, which is worse than a specimen, at least the specimen is dead, she is a living butterfly pretending to be dead by herself!

It's not that she is arrogant, she was really forced to go to Liangshan, and she had to be ruthless. Changing the future of Brother Jiu is a life-saving straw grasped by the drowning person, and no matter how difficult it is, he must work hard. To believe that people's potential is infinite, many times they just haven't been forced to do their part, for example, before a woman gets married, she sees a fly and hides, and when she gets married, no one coaxes her, it's really a dead mouse and a flat cockroach, and the person is still the same person, but the situation has changed.

This path must be followed! The worst is already known, how could things be worse? Okay, let's take stock of the current situation and see that now, Brother Nine has not been mixed with Brother Eight, and he has not begun to help Brother Eight compete for that supreme position...... Can that ...... Survive with moisture! Since the main target is Brother Jiu, let's start with him. Thinking about it, Hajlan fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Hajlan woke up from his sleep and heard birds chirping incessantly in the trees outside the house. As soon as the bed moved, as soon as she turned her head, she saw Brother Jiu's face, and he bent his eyes: "Today is a sunny day." ”

"How do you know?"

"On a sunny day, the birds can't stop chirping."

"And what if it rains?"

"When it rains, you can smell the dirt and hear the sound of rain dripping down the steps under the eaves."

"What about the snow?"

"If it's snowing, you can feel it when you open your eyes." Brother Nine chuckled, "Get up!" ”

"Oh." Hajlan also smiled and browled his eyebrows and stood up.

Hajlan quickly walked out of the house, smelled the faint jasmine fragrance in the wind, took a deep breath, and said, "Sure enough, this garden is called Moyuan Garden, how about it?" ”

Brother Jiu said: "Although there are a few bushes of jasmine planted, it is still too few, and it doesn't match this name very well, if you really like this flower, let people have more varieties, right?" Earlier, I asked Zhuangzi to plant some fragrant flowers. There's jasmine in there, so let's take advantage of the warm weather to move some. Hajran nodded vigorously.

The two went to the dining room for breakfast together. In addition to milk and red dates glutinous rice porridge for breakfast, there are all kinds of glutinous dim sum, including bean flour cake, pea yellow, vine and radish cake, and rose fire cake, among which pea yellow is unexpectedly delicious.

Hajlan said: "This Chef Liu is so good at making pea yellow, compared with the imperial kitchen, it is not bad, unlike what I made, I always feel that there is a lack of taste." ”

Brother Jiu said with a smile: "Although Chef Liu is not from the imperial kitchen, his father and brother are both masters of the white case in the imperial dining room, and she knows some of the secret recipes in the palace." But I prefer what you do, it's not that sweet. He looked down at the rose cake in front of him, frowned in disgust, and took another bean cake to eat.

Hajlan knew that he hated the sweet filling of the roses, and secretly snickered, causing him to roll his eyes. After eating, they discussed what they were going to do for the day. After discussing it, the two decided to draw and read. Brother Jiu quickly finished painting a picture of flowers and birds, and was making detailed decorations, so he beckoned to Hajilan, who was reading a book on the side, and said, "Come and see how my painting is?" ”

Hajlan looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's better than the other day, the stretch of this branch and leaf has a different taste, and even the bird is more agile." ”

Brother Jiu sighed and said, "Sure enough, it seems that it is really because of the state of mind." I was busy with something before, and I couldn't calm down when I was painting, but somehow, I suddenly became interested, and when I finished painting, I realized that this time I was painting well. ”

Seeing him like this, Hajlan stretched out his hand and said, "Let me draw a few strokes too." Brother Jiu was a little surprised, but he still gave her the pen in his hand. I saw that she laid out another piece of drawing paper, sat on the chair and drew slowly, and after a while, a white peach blossom appeared on the paper, which was very finely painted, but there was no taste of embroidery.

Brother Jiu looked at the peach blossom and said lightly: "Although it is a little more ingenious, the painting is quite passable." Hajlan glanced at him: "Of course, I used to paint peach blossoms throughout the spring, and I worked hard to make a dù no worse than you." After drawing the last few buds, she put down her pen.

Brother Jiu smiled: "It's too boring to just paint flowers, it's better to add something else." Then he turned out the back door and folded a peach blossom back, inserted it in a bottle, added water, put it on the kang table of the Luohan bed, pulled Hajilan to sit down, and said, "Please Lan'er sit down and let me follow the painting." Then he went back and spread the paper and ink, and prepared all kinds of utensils.

Hajlan was a little confused, but now he understands: "So you want me to be a model?" "What did you say?" Brother Jiu looked up in surprise and asked. Hajlan hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I remember you said that you were originally the best at drawing people. ”

Brother Nine smiled when he heard this: "Isn't it? I've been painting people for more than ten years, and then I learned landscapes, flowers and birds, but what I'm best at is people. I've never drawn you, so just sit down and let me draw a good picture. ”

Hajlan sat upright with a smile and asked him to draw, and after a long time, he also drew a picture of "Nine Elder Brothers' Drawings", which was a joke. Brother Jiu looked at what she had drawn, then looked at herself, and said with a smile: "Why don't you all take it and burn it into a glass inkstone, let's put it on the case?" If you put mine, I will put you on the land, and it will be a small image. ”

The idea was a good one, but Hajlan said something else: "You say as if it costs nothing to burn glass, and according to me, when this house was repaired before, there were many extra glass window panels, which were stored in the backyard. It's better to find out, sandwiching this painting, adding a wooden frame and a base, it is a seat screen, or is it a genuine work, isn't it better than burning it out of glass? ”

Brother Jiu listened and hurriedly said: "That's right, that's it." ”

Then the two began to talk about books again, Brother Jiu's cultural level is still very high, especially for 'Western Studies' in this place. He first told Hajlan a little bit of books, and the two went to the Yinren study room of Yuqing Palace together to look through it. Seeing the shocked expression on Hajilan's face, Brother Jiu's heart was extremely happy!

He has studied hard since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary. However, they all listened: "The Nine Emperor Princes are gifted and intelligent. This kind of praise is too official. Unreserved, undisguised admiration for his wife: "Have you finished reading it?" Did you write the words yourself? All? Coupled with a little eagerness to look through it, and a gesture of handwriting, his eyes were still shining at him.

There are various indications that removing the three words of Brother Jiu, he is also talented. Even though he was praised many times, the vanity of the ninth elder brother was still greatly satisfied, and the praise of the masters and the minions was of a different nature from the appreciation of women for men.

Brother Jiu was happy, and his tone also soared. rubbed his hands, and showed his big characters again, writing "Qin Se and Ming". Then he asked, "What books do you read?" ”

Hajran said: "There are those on the left and right, I have brought some of them, and some of them have been seen before. The two of them read a book together, discussing it as they read it. Hajlan found that the ninth elder brother was also insightful in reading. Brother Jiu also felt that his wife was very open-minded, and he had never been able to chat with a woman so happily. (Which woman did you read with?!) Isn't that all there is to it?! Then these two agreed, to draw a book at will, read the last sentence, test the next sentence, and only test the memorization skills. The reason is that when it comes to studying, Brother Jiu said that he has memorized Yunyun one hundred and twenty times. Hajlan said: "It's been a long time, and it turns out to be true." When they said that the method of studying in the palace was not believed. ”

Hajlan was holding a book in his hand: "Hey, there's Geometry Originals here!" "It's rare that Kangxi still teaches science to his son, which is still Western-style! What Matteo Ricci brought, they love Xinjueluo's family has a whole set! Then the second cargo that asked if there was a dry road in Britain came from which alien planet it crossed?! Brother Jiu's mathematics is very good, and he probably doesn't discuss it with people very often, but when he meets someone who can talk about everything, he is very happy, and he pulls Hajilan to do geometry problems together. To explain why Brother Jiu is so excited, there are not a few people who are very bad at mathematics these days, let alone geometry? And Kangxi asked his sons to develop in an all-round way (let them learn to swim!). ), Qu Gao and widow, very lonely. Hajlan is not the kind of person who nods her head when you say something, she can understand! I can't help but feel very comfortable.

Hajlan is also quite agreeable, and Brother Jiu is not a scumbag, which is beyond her expectations. This gentleman has a wide range of interests and hobbies, and his grades are not bad, even if he uses a critical eye to look at it, he can only conclude that this is a good prince. He can also accept Western affairs: "As long as the Westerners who follow the rules of Matteo Ricci, come!" ”

Depend on! Matteo Ricci knows, but what are Matteo Ricci's rules?! I've never heard of it, right?

Seeing that she didn't know, Brother Jiu explained: "The people of Taixi believe in a different way from us, and they are quite disrespectful to their ancestors. Matteo Ricci set a few rules for them Westerners, and that's it...... Huang Ama also means this, as long as they are honest, I **** can tolerate them. I also think their things are very useful, they got the chiming clock and pocket watch, they all have practical ......"

Hadiran has a middle finger in his heart, he knows more about the West than I do, and I never knew there was such a thing as a 'Matteo Ricci rule'! I only know that he has a Chinese table, and I only know that he has turned over the first six volumes of "Geometric Original"!

I don't know how to swim yet!

Hajran was a little short of breath.

Girl, don't feel inferior, you are better than him. In short, the two get along very harmoniously.
