"Xia Guan has seen a talented lady." Xu Qilin avoided the side of the road and bowed.

Unexpectedly, I never expected that on the way to Bingxia Palace, I would meet Wu Meier.

For this eternal empress, Xu Qilin didn't have too many feelings. Because of his existence, the possibility of the scumbag Li Zhi taking the position is getting smaller and smaller, even if Wu Meier hooks up, it is useless.

admires Wu Meier's methods and admires her courage, but I don't like her cruelty and killing. Even disgusted with her cruel rule, her cruelty and ruthlessness.

What's more, if Wu Meier turns over, it will directly affect Xu Qilin and his family, which is absolutely intolerable.

Wu Mei'er raised her hand with a smile and said kindly: "It's Xu Cheng, is this going to Bingxia Palace to see Xu Chongrong?" ”

Xu Qilin said: "Exactly. Xia Guan came back from a foreign business and was about to visit Sister A. ”

Wu Mei'er nodded and said, "Sister and brother have a deep relationship, and they are so enviable. ”

What kind of look is this, it seems to be a little emotional and lonely, is it because he thinks of his brother, those two bastards who are not angry?

After Wu Meier's father Wu Shitong died, the two sons Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang born to his ex-wife, as well as two nephews Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun, almost drove their stepmother Yang and Wu Meier sisters out of the house in order to compete for the family property.

Overnight, she became a hard-working woman under the fence from a nobleman of the Houmen, and she also planted an irresolvable hatred in Wu Meier's heart. Historically, after she came to power, she exiled her two older brothers and put her two cousins to death.

Therefore, seeing that Xu Hui had a good brother, Wu Meier couldn't help but think of herself.

Xu Qilin smiled and didn't say anything. For this ruthless woman, he didn't want to have more contact, he just wanted to leave quickly.

"That day, I had Xu Chongrong's good words and benefited a lot." Wu Mei'er put away her somewhat complicated expression, and said with a smile: "When you see Xu Chongrong, thank you for me." ”

Xu Qilin didn't know why, but he still bowed down and agreed. The official rank is poor, and he is still a nobleman in the palace, Xu Qilin is not short of courtesy, but he is respectful and far away.

Wu Mei'er smiled and bowed, and in the company of the palace people, she turned away and left.

In the huge palace, there are many women who die lonely and have tragic endings, even if they are sympathetic, they can't change anything, and they won't let you get in the way of Lao Tzu.

Xu Qilin just glanced at Wu Meier's back, then turned his head, took a step, and went all the way.

When he came to Bingxia Palace, Xu Qilin had already collected his mood. When he saw Sister A and the three little girls, he smiled even more happily.

Sister and sister, this is my relatives, and it is the reason for my hard work and dedication.

"Come over and let Sister Ah take a look." When Xu Hui saw his little brother, he also temporarily threw off his light, gentle and elegant posture, and greeted him with a smile, his face full of joy.

Hehe, Xu Qilin smiled, stood in front of Sister A, and straightened his waist, "Sister, I've grown taller again." ”

Xu Hui sat on the couch, reaching out to reach his little brother's head, he couldn't help but smile, stood up, and touched Xu Qilin's head.

"Well, I'm almost as tall as my sister." Xu Hui was very pleased, as if he was also a little embarrassed, looked at the little brother's face and said, "After a few months outside, it seems to have sunburned." ”

"Man, what do you want to do for nothing?" Xu Qilin also looked at Sister A, she was not long, but she looked a lot plumper, showing a bit of the taste of a mature woman.

"Sister is more beautiful." Xu Qilin blurted out: "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and Sister A leads the way." ”

"Naughty." Xu Hui smiled happily and patted his little brother's face gently, "Sit down and talk, and tell Sister A about everything you have experienced outside." ”

Xu Qilin agreed, sat down in the chair brought by the palace people, swept his eyes, and the two little princesses also came over, looking at the uncle expectantly with big eyes.

It's talking, not storytelling. Xu Qilin scratched his head, but still spoke.

Although it is like a travelogue, in order to take care of the young audience, in order not to look boring, he still tries to add some interesting elements, such as local customs, interesting people and interesting things encountered, and so on.

Even so, the little princess, who has not seen much of the customs of other places and markets, and does not know much about folk customs, still listens to it with relish, and asks from time to time.

Xu Qilin drank tea and interrupted the story, which can be regarded as the end, and there is nothing fun or interesting to talk about it again.

"It's so nice out there!" The son sighed, "There are beautiful scenery and interesting things, when can I go out for a good time!" ”

Xincheng nodded his little head in agreement, and also wanted to see the flower world outside. The last time I went to Princess Changle's house, I only went to shops and theaters, and I didn't have a lot of fun.

"Shangyuan Festival is not allowed to go out of the palace to see the lights?" Xiao Zhao interjected on the side: "The curfew will be lifted, you can go shopping all night." ”

"That's right!" Xu Qilin nodded and said: "Eat Yuanxiao, watch lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and celebrate the whole world, just once a year!" ”

Xincheng's little head immediately turned around, as if he was swallowing saliva, and asked crisply: "What is the Lantern Festival, is it delicious?" ”

"Yuan Xiao?!" Xu Qilin was surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Tangyuan, Tangtu, Yuanxiao, haven't you eaten it?" ”

Xincheng's little head shook like a drum, and three things were made at once, as if it should be delicious.

As a food, Lantern Festival is a novelty food that became popular in the Song Dynasty, and it was first called "Fu Yuanzi", and businessmen also called it "Yuanbao".

Later, there are more and more patterns, the filling can be labor and vegetarian, the method can be wrapped or rolled, and the cooking has soup boiling, oil, steaming, and it is also endowed with the meaning of reunion and happiness.

"Brother, what is Yuanxiao?" Xiao Zhao shook his brother before he woke Xu Qilin up from his stunnedness.

"This-" Xu Qilin gestured with his hand, "The skin of glutinous rice flour, the filling of sugar, roses, sesame, bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernels, nuts, and jujube paste, made into such a big ball, cooked in water, is Yuanxiao." ”

Wow, it sounds delicious. The eyes of the three little girls lit up, staring at Xu Qilin, that means, you know.

Xu Qilin knew that Yuanxiao's food had not yet come out, so he couldn't help grinning and said, "I'll let the cook make it when I go back, this, it seems that you can't wait for Shangyuan Festival to eat." ”

"Eat it when it's ready!" The son grinned and said, "If it's delicious, continue to eat it on the Shangyuan Festival." ”

Xincheng giggled, the little girl still knows how to cover her mouth, it's cute.

Xu Hui said with a smile: "Let the chefs in the palace follow to learn, and make this Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival, so that everyone can taste fresh." ”

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said: "That's okay, I'll prepare the tools and materials, let Xiao Zhaoxue first, and then send them to Sister A, and the two princesses can watch it live." Actually, Yuanxiao is quite easy to do and very fun. ”

"It's fun and delicious." The son smiled, nodded again and again, and said to Xiao Zhao: "Xiao Zhao study hard, come and teach us again!" ”

Xiao Zhao chuckled, feeling more face-saving. glanced at the elder brother, and was a little skeptical that he could learn it.

After Xu Qilin finished speaking, the three little girls ran to the cage again, fiddling with things, chattering, giggling and laughing.

"This Caoyun reform, the younger brother has made great contributions, Your Majesty will make you the Viscount of the Great Wall as a reward." Xu Hui said with a smile: "Daying Ku Ku Cheng will also be promoted to the rank of official on the fifth grade. At the age of the younger brother, it is not easy to rely on his own merits. ”

Xu Qilin was revealed in advance, and he didn't have too many surprises, just nodded with a smile and said, "I'm lucky, I have a good master, and I have a good sister." ”

"Sister didn't help much." Xu Hui shook his head modestly and said, "Qi Yu has also passed the imperial examination, and it is just a matter of time before he is selected in the Ministry of Officials. Come to think of it, it won't take too long. Well, just follow the normal process, and it seems a little inappropriate to say something to Your Majesty. ”

Xu Qilin said: "What Sister said is true. Since there are regulations in the imperial court, there is no need to go through any way, and the eldest brother's background and talent are there, and how long can he wait. ”

Xu Hui nodded and said, "Immortal Lu Yu has always been in contact with you, right?" If he doesn't want to see ordinary people, you don't have to hide it, you don't have to make up excuses. ”

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said: "There is a connection, but I really haven't seen him, it's all letters brought by others, and I don't even know where he is." ”

Xu Hui smiled and said: "The "Thirteen Articles of Go" is very well written, Your Majesty likes it very much, and once told me that it is secretly in line with the art of war, and the words are very exquisite. ”

"Doesn't Sister know how to play chess?" Xu Qilin asked suspiciously: "I remember that it seems to be going down!" ”

"I just know a little bit about it, but my chess skills are very poor." Xu Hui didn't hide it, and said very truthfully: "You know, my temperament doesn't like this kind of winning project very much. ”

Xu Qilin nodded, Sister A, a soft girl in Jiangnan, doesn't like to be competitive, what she likes most is reading, and she really doesn't have much interest in competitive things.

"That's right." Xu Qilin thought of something and asked: "I met a martial artist on the way to Bingxia Palace, and she said that Sister A had good words from Jinyu, which benefited her a lot, and asked me to thank Sister A." I wonder what's going on? ”

Xu Hui frowned slightly and thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It seems that before going to Jiucheng Palace, Wu Mei'er often came to my palace to ask me for advice and learning. But I didn't understand her thoughts, so I said to her, "How long can Israel serve the king?" Maybe it's this sentence that allows her to study quietly! ”

Xu Qilin pursed his lips, feeling that maybe it was this sentence that changed Wu Meier's fate.

You must know that Wu Meier's talent was not outstanding when she first entered the palace, but later she was very proficient in poetry and songs, and I am afraid it was the result of reading and learning.

Even so, it can't change the essence of Wu Meier. No matter how talented you are, you will have heavier scheming and more mature political wisdom.

And his sister is really kind, and she can also be said to be generous. But Sister Ah is not stupid, but belongs to the kind of Xiuwai Hui, intellectual and elegant, and her ability to observe people and colors is not covered.

As for Sister A's ability to replace the status of Empress Eldest Sun in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, Xu Qilin also understood it. The fault is not Sister A, nor Li Er, but time.

Because of the different times, Sister Ah will never be able to compare with the eldest grandson queen, because she missed the best time. The so-called gentleman was born before I was born, and I was born into old age, this helplessness has been well interpreted in Sister A's body.

If Empress Eldest Sun is still alive, who can guarantee that she will still be able to raise eyebrows with His Majesty Li Er at this time? Who can guarantee that they will still respect each other at this time?

What you can't get is always the most beautiful, and what you pass away is always the best, which is also a helpless and speechless law.

"What are your recent masterpieces?" Xu Hui didn't take Wu Mei'er's matter to heart, adjusted her sitting posture, looked more casual, and said with a smile: "Busy outside, there should be more insights and inspiration, right?" ”

Xu Qilin scratched his ears and cheeks, and only after a long time did he sneer: "Sister, is it okay to write poetry?" ”

"Okay!" Xu Hui saw that the little brother really had it, regardless of whether it was a poem or a word, he immediately ordered the palace people to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and stand pretty, and wait for the little brother to exit with a pen and a smile.

Xu Qilin brewed his feelings, and said: "The young man doesn't know the taste of sorrow, and he falls in love with the floor." Fall in love with the floor, and worry about the new words. Now I know the taste of sorrow, and I want to talk about it. I want to say that I will rest, but I say that the weather is cool and autumn!"

Hey?! Xu Hui blinked his eyes wide, let out a sound of surprise, and then picked up the pen to write, and his ability to never forget was amazing. After writing it, she looked at the poem and pondered it for a long time.

At first glance, this poem is very popular and easy to understand. Probably to say: people don't know the taste of sorrow when they are young, they like to climb high and look far away, and they have no worries to write a new poem.

Now that I have tasted the taste of sorrow, I want to say but I can't say it, so I have to say that the cool autumn is so good!

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are two completely different changes of thought written in the words. One uses the metaphor of youth and no worries to be in the world, and the other is the state of mind after experiencing the vicissitudes of life and tasting all the sorrows.

In particular, the use of the two overlapping words in the word not only connects cleverly, echoes before and after, but also renders the atmosphere of deep melancholy.

"Good words, wonderful words." Xu Hui understood it thoroughly, so he blurted out praise, but then sneered: "The little brother has only been running around for a few months, so he really knows what it's like to be sad?" When you grow older and have more experience, you will have a real experience! ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Sister is right, the younger brother is worried about the new words." However, being in a foreign country, the longing is real. ”

Xu Hui bowed his head slightly and said: "The younger brother is young, and it is the first time to travel away from home, and the feeling of homesickness and family is also reasonable. Well, don't ask for that errand in the future, you also miss it, and your family also cares. ”

Xu Qilin only responded, but he knew that this was not something he could decide.

"There is no shortage of flowers at home, they are all operated by the younger brother." Xu Hui took out two small gold cakes, handed them to the younger brother, and said, "However, this is Sister A's intention, and it can be regarded as adding some clothes and supplies for you during the New Year." ”

Xu Qilin didn't shirk, stretched out his hand to take it, and said: "Sister is useless, so I told Xiao Zhao that the goods in my shop are quite complete." ”

"Good toothbrush and toothpaste." Xu Hui shook his head a little helplessly and said, "Most of the nobles in the palace ask me where to buy, and some ask for it directly. ”
