Volume I: Ancient. Dream Frontier Chapter 103 Chinese New Year's Eve¹
The eastern sky slowly revealed a white light, and a gust of cold wind blew into Chang'an City, blowing through the Vermilion Bird Street that began to be Venerable, and into the palace of King Jin.
Xu Yu opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the bright window, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and sat up straight.
"Fine! Fine!" Xu Yu sat on the bed, turned his head to the door of the house, and shouted loudly to the fine grandmother and others who were waiting for freshening.
With a squeak, the door of the house was pushed open by Mama Xi from the outside to the inside, and she walked quickly to the bedroom of the promise, and said softly: "Miss Xu! Are you changing clothes now? ”
"Come in!" The fine mother nodded at the promise, turned to the few little maids outside the door and shouted.
Three or four maids, one by one, walked into the house, promised to bend down and put on their shoes, put on their underwear, and stood where they were, and let the maid dress her, still in crimson eunuch robes.
A moment later, after getting dressed, he went to the basin and washed his face, rinsed his mouth with salt water, and then wiped his face, and then walked to the dresser and sat down.
After a while, Mama Xi combed her hair for Promise, Promise smiled and looked at herself in the mirror, got up and went to the main room.
Xu Yu walked to the arhat bed in the main house and sat down, watched as Mama Xi led people out of the courtyard, and got up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
Xu made a promise out of his yard and walked quickly towards Li Zhi's study.
After a while, Xu Yu came to the door of Li Zhi's study, raised his hand and lay in front of the door, knocked lightly a few times, and shouted softly: "Ninth brother, ninth brother!" Rise and shine. Nine elder brothers. ”
Xu Fuer listened to the door for a while, and found that there was still no sound in the house, so he raised his hand and pushed the door open.
Xu Promise walked quickly into the study, looked around the room, and then walked directly behind the bookshelf.
"Brother Jiu, hehe! Brother Nine got up. Xu Yu said softly as he walked to Li Zhi's bed.
"Why did you wake up so early today!" Li Zhi tilted his head and glanced at the promise, sat up slowly, and asked suspiciously.
"Brother Jiu, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't you hurry up and get ready?" Xu Yu stood in front of Li Zhi's bed and said casually.
"Someone." Xu Promise lowered his head helplessly and sighed lightly, casually lifted the quilt on his body, and shouted loudly to the door of the house.
Xi Ting led a few maids, pushed open the door and walked in, Xu Promise glanced back at Xi Ting, the two looked at each other and smiled, Xu Promise walked out, came to the Luohan bed and sat down.
After a while, Li Zhi, who had finished grooming, walked out, Xi Ting led the maid to follow behind Li Zhi, and walked out of the study with a basin, and Li Zhi sat on the Luohan bed.
Li Zhi glanced at Xu Nuo, lifted his robe and sat on the Luohan bed, and said softly: "What are you going to prepare, I am going to enter the palace at night!"
"You entered the palace at night? So what do I do? Xu Promise turned to look at Li Zhi in surprise and said suspiciously.
"Come with me! Don't you want to go? Li Zhi turned his head to look at the promise and asked casually.
"Go, but will you meet your father?" Xu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at Li Zhi, then lowered his head and said hesitantly.
"It's good that we don't go where he is, the lights are dim at night, and he shouldn't notice you." Li Zhi looked at the promise and said softly.
"Oh! So what are we going to do now? Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi and said softly.
"I don't know, I wanted to sleep a little longer, and I'll take you to play a little more at night." Li Zhi glanced at Xu Promise and explained casually.
"Huh! Then go back to sleep! I went back too. As he spoke, he got up and walked out, walked to the door, and happened to meet Xi Ting who walked in, and greeted Xi Ting with a smile: "Sister Xi Ting." ”
Xi Ting smiled and returned the salute, looked at Xu Promise and walked out, hurriedly walked in front of Li Zhi, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, breakfast has been prepared and you can eat." ”
After Li Zhi heard the sound and looked at Xi Ting, he got up and straightened out his clothes, and strode out of the study, Xi Ting immediately followed behind Li Zhi and walked towards the promised house.
When he walked into the courtyard, he smelled the smell of food, and hurriedly walked into the house.
Xu Yu came to the dining table, leaned over to look at the breakfast on the table, nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly heard a voice at the gate of the courtyard, and turned his head to see Li Zhi leading Xi Ting over.
Xu Yu glanced at Li Zhi, sat down at the table, and said softly to Li Zhi who walked in: "Brother Nine, let's sleep after eating!" ”
"Yes! You can also. Li Zhi walked to the dining table, sat down with the corner of his robe, looked at it, glanced at the promise, and replied casually.
Xi Ting walked to the dining table, reached out and picked up the bowl in front of Li Zhi, gently filled a bowl of white porridge for Li Zhi, picked up the promised bowl again, filled a bowl for the promise, handed it to the promise, and then stepped aside.
Xu Yu took the bowl handed over by Xi Ting, took a sip gently, and ate slowly.
Half an hour later, after Xu Yu rinsed his mouth, he gently wiped it with an embroidered handkerchief, and said softly to Li Zhi: "Brother Jiu, I don't want to sleep now, or I will play chess with you!" ”
Li Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Promise when he heard the sound, shook his head without thinking about it, and then said softly: "You better go and help Xiting do some work!" ”
"Brother Jiu, I just want to learn to play chess, you can teach me!" Xu Yu glanced back at Xi Ting, who was standing on the side, smiled, turned his head and pulled Li Zhi, shook Li Zhi's arm, and said beggingly.
"Yes! All right! But you can only regret three moves. Li Zhi looked at the promise, pursed his lips helplessly, and said softly.
"Okay, it's good to be able to regret chess. Hehe! Thank you, Brother Nine. Xu Promise smiled and pulled Li Zhi and said.
"Let's go!" Li Zhi said to Xu Promise as he got up and walked towards the door of the house, Xu Zhi happily followed behind Li Zhi, and the two walked out of the yard slowly.
After a while, Xu Zhi followed behind Li Zhi and came to the door of the study, Li Zhi raised his hand and pushed the door open, and Xu Xu followed Li Zhi and walked in.
Li Zhi walked to the cabinet next to Luohan's bed, took out Go, glanced at Xu Xu sitting on Luohan's bed, and said softly: "What color chess pieces do you want?" ”
"I want the white one." Xu Promise raised his hand to take the chessboard in Li Zhi's hand, put it on the table on Luohan's bed, and said casually.
"Here, I'll go first." Li Zhi raised his hand and handed the promised white chess box to him, sat on the Luohan bed, and said softly.
Li Zhi took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the Luohan bed, glanced at the promise who was also sitting cross-legged, reached out and took out a black chess piece in the chess box, and put it on the chessboard with a snap.
Xu Yu raised his eyes and looked at Li Zhi, picked up the chess piece with a smile, and gently placed it next to Li Zhi's chess piece.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Li Zhi closed his eyes, sighed lightly, and said softly: "We said okay, you can only regret it three times, and you have regretted it several times." ”
"Huh? Didn't I regret it a second time? Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi suspiciously.
"Don't you know it yourself? Don't play dumb on me!" Li Zhi looked at the promise intently, and said with some anger.
"Brother Jiu, are you angry?" Xu Promise leaned in front of Li Zhi and asked softly.
"Nope." Li Zhi didn't look at the promise, and said casually.
"Ninth brother, ninth brother, I just started learning this time, you can let me do more!" Promise lay on the table, looked at Li Zhi pitifully, and said softly.
"Alas! Go ahead! Li Zhi sighed helplessly and said softly to the promise.
Xu Promise smiled happily, lowered his head and continued to look at the chess game on the chessboard seriously.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Promise jumped up happily and shouted, "I won, haha!" I won, I actually won over Brother Jiu. ”
Li Zhi took a deep breath helplessly, looking at Xu Xu's happy appearance, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled.
"Okay, let's not go down, I'll be free in the future!" Li Zhi said to the promise as he got up and walked to the desk.
"Hey! Brother Jiu, I've just gotten down, and you're accompanying me in the next game! Nine elder brothers. Xu Yu hurriedly put on his shoes and begged for Li Zhi, who was leaving.
"No, I have to read the book now, I'm afraid that my father will test me at night." Li Zhi walked to the desk, picked up the "Analects" on the desk, opened it gently, and said casually.
"Alright! Then I'll look for a book too! Xu Promise said boredly, raised his feet and walked to the bookshelf, looked at the books on the shelf, and carefully selected.
After a while, Xu Yu casually found a miscellaneous book, took it and walked to Luohan's bedside, sat down, and looked at the miscellaneous book seriously.
After another quarter of an hour, Xi Ting came to the door of the study, looked up at Xu Yu and Li Zhi, who were reading carefully, and walked lightly to Li Zhi's desk, and said softly: "Your Highness, you can have lunch now." ”
"Yes! Got it. Li Zhi raised his eyes and looked at Xi Ting when he heard the sound, and then glanced at the promise on the Luohan bed, and said casually.
Xu Yue also looked at Li Zhi when he heard what Xi Ting said, turned his head to look out the window, and sighed in his heart: "Time flies so fast, I haven't read a few pages yet!" ”
Xu Promise sighed in his heart, and then moved to the side of Luohan's bed, stretched out his feet and put on his shoes.
After a while, Xu Promise put on his shoes, walked to the desk, looked at Li Zhi who was looking down again, and said softly: "Brother Jiu, it's time to eat, if you don't know at night, I will tell you secretly, you don't have to work so hard." ”
Li Zhi looked up at Xu Promise when he heard the sound, sighed lightly, then put the book on the desk, got up and said casually to Xu Promise: "Why do you secretly tell me, what if my father finds out, silly girl, let's go!" Let's eat! ”
Xu Yu watched Li Zhi walk over quickly, looked at Li Zhi's back, pouted and frowned, made a grimace, and then followed quickly.
