Shi Miyuan in the capital was very leisurely today, taking the guards and housekeepers around the Xicheng Bird Market. I was looking for a talking bird that I wanted so much, and I heard that I had caught it from a long way to the south.

Walking past the dozen or so storefront stalls selling birds in front, I just didn't see the legendary birds caught from foreign countries. Just as he was about to walk back in disappointment, he heard one of the people in front of him shouting, "Come and see, everyone, this is a bird caught by a foreigner." It's rare to see it once in your life, you look at how white its feathers are, and then you see how it can speak. ”

With this sound, in an instant, the bird seller gathered around the people who looked strange on the inside and outside three floors. At this time, someone inside asked the bird seller: "The bird seller said that he can speak human words, so you let him talk about it." The people who watched the excitement coaxed: "Just let it say a word and see~!" ”

The bird seller confidently said to the crowd: "Don't believe it, I'll let it say a human word." The bird seller said to the big white bird on the shelf, "Come and say to everyone, hello everyone! As soon as the bird seller finished speaking, the big white bird on the shelf really said a human word.

At this time, Shi Miyuan, who had been looking for this bird outside, was attracted, and Shi Miyuan wanted to take a look in the middle. But there were too many people around, so he immediately glanced at the housekeeper.

When the housekeeper saw his master winking at him, he immediately instructed the guards to know: "Separate the crowd for me, so that the master can enter." ”

After the housekeeper finished ordering, the guards rushed into the crowd like wolves and tigers, and shouted loudly: "Shi Xiangye arrives, get out of the way for me!" ”

At this time, the bird seller saw a commotion in the crowd, and in a short time they parted a wide road in the crowd. At this time, I saw a housekeeper Mo Yang go to the middle and say to the bird seller: "Shi Xiangye has arrived to see your bird." Why don't you go over to greet you? ”

Only then did the bird seller know who had such ability, and immediately knelt down on the road that separated him and said, "The grass people have seen Xiangye." ”

Shi Mi walked far to the middle and saw a man kneeling in front of him. Looking at the housekeeper who didn't understand, the housekeeper explained, "Master, this is the bird seller. ”

Shi Miyuan nodded to the housekeeper, and then said to the bird seller, "Well, no courtesy." Get up and talk back. As soon as the bird seller stood up, Shi Miyuan asked, "Just now I heard you say outside that your bird can talk?" ”

The bird seller immediately said to Shi Miyuan: "Qi Xiangye, it was the villain who said it." ”

Shi Miyuan smiled again and said, "Okay, you're putting on a show for your own appearance to see if it's really as you said." ”

The bird seller walked to the bird rack, took out some bird food from his bosom, fed the big white bird on the shelf, and said to the bird, "Come on, good lord! The big white bird immediately followed in a tone close to a child's voice, saying hello, sir.

Shi Miyuan then believed that the big bird in front of him was the target he was looking for, and immediately said to the bird seller: "Very good! Bring the bird to my house, and I will give you money. After speaking, Shi Miyuan turned around and left. The remaining butler and two guards were still there.

When the housekeeper saw that the bird seller was still indifferent, he immediately said a little unhappily: "Hey! Bird sellers, why don't you quickly bring your birds back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with us to get a reward. ”

The bird seller muttered in his heart, I don't know if I can get the money today. I could hear the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion calling himself, and he didn't dare to put what he thought on his face, so he only smiled at the butler and replied flatteringly: "The grass people are leaving." After saying that the jewelry for selling birds was a good salute, he carried the bird and followed the housekeeper to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, the bird seller also wanted to enter through the main entrance like the housekeeper. But the guard who had just followed the butler back to the house suddenly stopped him and said, "Is the main gate where you entered?" Come with us through the side door. "The bird seller only honestly followed the guards into the prime minister's mansion through the back door.

When I came to the match, the bird seller followed them to the front yard. I saw that Shi Miyuan had been waiting here with the butler for a long time. The bird seller hurriedly saluted Shi Miyuan.

At this time, there was no longer a large crowd outside, and Shi Miyuan asked the bird seller with majesty: "I already knew just now that your bird can speak human language, but can it only speak one sentence?" ”

The bird seller immediately replied with a smile on his face: "Qi Qi Xiangye, my bird can still say a word or two, but if there are more, Xiangye may have to teach him himself." ”

After listening to this, Shi Miyuan said with interest: "Hehe! Could it be that the few words it can say now are also what you taught? ”

The bird seller said: "Hui Xiangye, it was taught by the grass people. But this bird, no matter who teaches it, as long as it takes a long time, Doumen will say it. ”

Shi Miyuan now knew that he could not be an eyesore bird seller, so he immediately waved his hand and said, "Put your bird down and go to the account room with the housekeeper to receive the reward." ”

I still didn't say how many taels of silver, but there was always silver no matter how I said it. The bird seller hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and followed Shi Miyuan's housekeeper down to receive the reward.

Shi Miyuan watched the bird seller leave, hurriedly came to the shelf of the bolted bird and said to the white bird: "Tell me, the emperor is good!" After saying that, I didn't see the birds repeating his words for a long time, and Shi Miyuan was a little angry.

At this time, the housekeeper had finished his work and came behind Shi Miyuan, and saw that his master was about to ask the bird to speak. But the bird didn't say a word for a long time, and the housekeeper turned his head, and then he remembered that the bird seller had said before leaving, that he should teach patiently. The housekeeper hurriedly came to Shi Miyuan and said to him: "Master, the bird seller just now said that this bird should be taught patiently, and after a long time, it will be able to do it by itself." ”

Shi Miyuan himself is very popular, and the housekeeper sent it to the door by himself this time. Shi Miyuan immediately instructed the housekeeper: "Okay, you come to teach, tomorrow I will listen to the birds and say that the emperor is good, these three words, if you can't hear them, I will cut you down." ”

The butler was immediately deflated.

Early the next morning, Shi Miyuan was looking at the flowers and plants in his garden, when he saw the guards hurriedly running in and saying to him: "Master Qiqi, General Xia Zhenxia secretly asks to see you." ”

Shi Miyuan had long wanted to hear about Xia Zhen about Zhao Hong and the Yang family, until today Xia Zhen finally came back. Shi Miyuan hurriedly said: "Let him wait in the side hall, master, I will come immediately." ”

In the side hall, Xia Zhen still had a bandage on his head, and his right hand was still on his chest, looking as embarrassed as he was. He waited anxiously for Shi Miyuan, and when he saw Shi Miyuan coming to the door of the side hall, he immediately knelt in front of Shi Miyuan and cried loudly: "Xiangye, the big thing is not good!" ”
