Although it was a temporary arrangement of His Majesty Li Er, how dare the director of Jiucheng Palace slack off, and the deputy eunuch personally accompanied Xu Qilin to his residence, and if there was any need, he would open his own mouth.

Xu Qilin is not very picky, he has a place to live, a servant of the subordinates, and the application items are complete, so he just asked the deputy supervisor to get a few changes of clothes, and there are no other requirements.

Wu Xiang can finally follow Xu Qilin, and it is always much more convenient to live outside the palace.

Xu Qilin bathed and changed clothes, rested for a while, and then sat down at the table and seized the time to formulate the regulations. To be honest, he wanted to go back to Chang'an as soon as possible, and he was too close to the emperor, and he always felt a little depressed.

It's just that Xu Qilin calculates that he will stay for at least five or six days. This charter for the conversion of slaves and maids is nothing, and I can finish it by staying up late today.

The amusement park and naughty castle that can be promised to Xiao Gongju, even if there are many craftsmen, excellent craftsmanship, and fast work, it is not possible to complete it in a day or two.

There's no way, draw drawings after writing the charter, stay up late and work hard, and try to shorten the time!

……………

The next day, Xu Qilin entered the palace with the written charter. At the same time, he also wants to meet Sister A and tell her about what has happened recently.

In the summer palace, although His Majesty Li Er still manages the government remotely, he does not have an early dynasty and does not have so much work. Combined with the cool climate here, it feels like the body and mind are suddenly lighter.

After the transmission, when Xu Qilin entered the Great Treasure Palace, he found that Sister Xu Hui was also there, chatting and talking with His Majesty Li Er.

Xu Qilin finished the ceremony and submitted the proposed charter.

His Majesty Li Er flipped it, frowned slightly and said, "Are you in such a hurry to go back to Chang'an?" Look at how well this word is written, it is very unstandard. ”

Xu Qilin didn't think it was so serious, the speed was faster, naturally it was a little sloppy, but it was only a little bit!

Xu Hui pretended to be annoyed and said to the younger brother: "Even if you are diligent in the king's affairs, the handwriting must be neatly written, not perfunctory." ”

"The lesson of abundance is yes, I wrote it down." Xu Qilin hurriedly surrendered his hand to be taught.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Xu Hui and smiled helplessly, my sister was protecting my younger brother, and she reprimanded her clearly, but she was diligent in the king's affairs, so she covered up everything else.

"Concubine Ai, let's go to the side hall with Qi Lin to talk!" His Majesty Li Er said: "Your sister and brother have also been gone for a while, so there must be a lot to say. ”

Xu Hui got up and gave a salute to retire. Xu Qilin also gave etiquette and went to the side hall with Sister A.

Xu Qilin first told his brother about the imperial examination in advance this autumn, and then briefly talked about the before and after coming here.

Brother has a meritorious role in saving the driver, Xu Hui has heard His Majesty Li Er say a little. It's just that the eldest brother has just learned about the imperial examination.

After thinking for a while, Xu Hui said slowly: "Since the eldest brother has this intention, the timing is also right, and it is also a good thing to graduate from Hongwen Pavilion early." is eighteen, and if you want to set up a household for our Xu family, your mood is understandable. ”

Xu Qilin said: "Regardless of whether the imperial examination is smooth this year, the family's expenses are not worried. Whether the eldest brother wants to set up a household or wants to continue his studies in Hongwenkan, there is no problem. ”

"My younger brother has made a lot of money, and he has also earned more than 20 shops for industry, but he doesn't have to worry about spending money at home." Xu Hui smiled with relief: "This time the rescue is meritorious, so there should be no problem with the actual seal of the man in Changcheng County." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "The little brother has just shown his strength, and a county man is not worried." ”

Xu Hui no longer talks about anything to study hard, Xu Qilin's official title is also the best among his peers, and he is even more favored by His Majesty Li Er, and his future is bright!

"If the eldest brother wins the imperial examination and is awarded an official position, I am afraid that he will have to consider lifelong events!" Xu Hui said with some emotion: "If you can marry the daughter of the noble family, it will be even better." ”

Xu Qilin pondered for a while and said: "The younger brother doesn't approve of marrying any scholar girl, but the more prosperous the scholar clan, the more respectful it is to stay away." ”

"Why is that?" Xu Hui raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that some scholars think that the Xu family is not high?" ”

Xu Qilin said: "Maybe some scholars boast of being high-ranking people, but this is not the main reason. The younger brother thought that marrying a scholar girl would do more harm than good, but it was better to be poor. ”

The Shi family has deep roots and a deep roots, and there may be an intertwined network of relationships in officialdom, which may be a help. But on the other hand, the scholars are also big moves, and in the case of joint sittings in ancient times, they may be implicated in vain.

Not to mention ordinary officials, even princes and horses, there are countless people who have been convicted of crimes.

For example, the sixth prince Li Su was deposed as a concubine because his brother Li Ke sat down, the eldest grandson of the princess of Xincheng was exiled and killed because of the involvement of the eldest grandson's family, and the eldest grandson Chong of Princess Shang Changle was also exiled to Lingnan.

Moreover, Xu Qilin also thinks that there are many people in the Shi clan, and they are far less worry-free than the simpler family members.

“…… The view of the family is just a fig leaf for the scholars, the eldest brother is talented, as long as he is diligent in his studies and honest as an official, he will rise step by step, so why do he need the help of the female family? Still on suspicion of climbing high branches? ”

Xu Qilin talked a lot, and finally made a summary, "The poor family marries a daughter in the Xu family, but we are condescending and condescending." The family background is innocent, and there are not so many relatives of the seven aunts and eight aunts, so it is easy to live. ”

Xu Hui listened to this tirade, although there was some truth, but it was not very consistent with her concept, and she couldn't help but ponder for a long time before smiling: "I don't know what the eldest brother thinks, we are all worrying about it." ”

Xu Qilin scratched his head, laughed, and said, "Yes, if the eldest brother is optimistic about the girl of the Shi clan, it is not easy to stop it." ”

Xu Hui teased: "The younger brother thinks long-term, does he also have some thoughts about Xiao Zhao's lifelong events?" ”

"Xiao Zhao has grown up, and she has her own ideas." Xu Qilin said very solemnly: "As for me, I am a bodyguard, whoever dares to bully her, I will stand up for her." ”

Xu Hui smiled happily, put aside the matter for the time being, and did not forget to remind Xu Qilin, "By the way, what you promised Her Royal Highness the princess, you will do it as soon as possible, she talked about it in front of Her Majesty last night, and she is looking forward to it!" ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly replied: "Sister don't worry, I stayed up late last night to draw some drawings, as long as I call in craftsmen, I can do it quickly." ”

After a pause, he asked with concern: "Sister, you should drink the health tea I asked Xiao Zhao to bring, it is very good for your body." ”

Xu Hui nodded and said, "At first, I was a little unaccustomed to eating, but when I thought of my little brother's heart, I persevered." Now, I can't leave for a day! ”

"That's good." Xu Qilin said: "There is also a need to exercise regularly, be healthy, and do not get sick." ”

"What you said, can my sister still listen?" Xu Hui said with a smile: "The junior brother has Professor Lu Yu Immortal, which is really a great blessing. I also like the "Pure Heart Mantra" very much, so I have time to write one for me. ”

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and said, "If Sister wants it, the younger brother will give away the treasured handwriting of the family teacher." If Sister sees it, she will definitely love it. ”

Xu Huixiu raised her eyebrows and said, "The content is the same as what you dedicated to Your Majesty?" ”

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "This is the "Meditation Mantra", but I think it is similar to the "Pure Heart Mantra". ”

"The immortal chief's handbook, precious and abnormal, and it was given by your master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to give it to me, right?" Xu Hui felt itchy in his heart, but he still refused bitterly, "Why don't you copy a copy of it and give it to me." ”

Xu Qilin said: "The family teacher said that he would come to me again in the future, and then I would beg him to leave Mobao." ”

Xu Hui bowed slightly, but finally couldn't resist the temptation, and said: "That's it, even if Sister borrowed you." Enjoy it, save it, and you'll pay it back when you want. ”

What's more, what handwriting you want, I'll forge it.

Xu Qilin agreed with a smile, but he didn't think so.

After the sister and brother finished talking about business, they chatted casually. Xu Qilin talked about Xiao Zhao playing happily in the village, and Xu Hui smiled very happily.

It wasn't until the little son rushed to the side hall to find Xu Qilin that the sister and brother stopped talking.

It turned out that the little son told his father yesterday that he wanted Xu Qilin to make toys and build an amusement park. The emperor said a word, and the people below were doing things quickly, and the craftsmen had been summoned and were waiting.

Xu Qilin said goodbye to His Majesty Li Er and Sister A, and rushed to command the craftsmen to build an amusement park for Xiao Gongju.

Most of the craftsmen are the maintenance personnel of the Kuseigong Palace, and their skills are excellent. Xu Qilin took out the drawings and dictated the hand gestures, and the craftsmen began to divide the labor.

Wooden rail trains, merry-go-rounds, slides, benches and swings, etc., do not have the high-tech of sound and light, and the technical difficulty is not high, even if the drawings do not have size marks, skilled craftsmen do not need to spend too much work.

"How can I finish it in a few days?" The son was not at ease and ran to ask.

Xu Qilin estimated it and said: "The wooden rail car should be slower, but it will be built in two or three days." The rest, it's just a matter of a day or two. ”

The son thinks it's okay, anyway, I have to stay in the Jiucheng Palace until the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, so long is not enough to play?

After a little determination in his heart, his son sat down, right next to Xu Qilin, with dense branches and leaves on his head to shade the sun, and the cool breeze was very pleasant.

"Uncle, you will accompany me to the Forbidden Garden tomorrow!" The son blinked his eyes and said, "Others are so angry and boring, and it's boring and monotonous!" ”

"If Your Majesty allows it, I will accompany you." Xu Qilin also wanted to see the scenery of this Jiucheng Palace, so he didn't refuse too much.

"I'll go and say, my father will definitely allow it." The son laughed happily and said, "When I came, I also asked my father to ask my uncle to taste the fish at noon, and my father has agreed. ”

"Isn't the jelly just sashimi?" Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment and asked.

The son nodded his little head and said, "Mo Mo precedes crucian carp, bream, bream, sea bream, and perch. ”

Xu Qilin grinned, and said in his heart: Freshwater fish is eaten raw, don't you think there are parasites in your stomach? In this era of backward medical care, it's better to be free!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to his son: "This fish is tender to eat, but it is very bad for the body. Especially Her Royal Highness the Princess, who is already frail and cannot be eaten. ”

The son blinked his eyes wide and said, "Really? But the imperial kitchen said that it was already prepared, and it was almost noon, so why not do it again? ”

Xu Qilin said: "It's better to do it again than to eat it badly." "You can talk nonsense, but you can't eat things indiscriminately.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said with a smile: "It's better to be like this, I'll arrange the dishes at noon and make sure it's delicious." ”

The son laughed and said, "Then I will tell my father that I will not eat fish at noon, and let my uncle command the imperial kitchen to prepare another delicious dish." ”

Xu Qilin saw that the princess got up to leave, and hurriedly reminded: "Make it clear to Your Majesty, this fish is raw and harmful, you must know." ”

……………

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but hesitate a little when he heard his beloved daughter's relay, the wind of eating food was extremely popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but he really hadn't heard of anything harmful to the body.

"Your Majesty." Xu Hui guessed Li Er's thoughts slightly, and said: "In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, it was recorded that Chen Deng, the Taishou of Guangling, was sick, and the famous doctor Hua Tuo diagnosed it as 'eating fishy things'. After drinking it with medicine, Chen Deng 'spit out two liters of insects, red, all moving, and half of his body was raw fish'. ”

His Majesty Li Er's face changed, pondered for a long time, and said: "Concubine Ai's memory is not bad, and I also remember it now, there is indeed this record." ”

"Look, Xu Xiaolang is indeed right!" The son grinned, clapped his hands, and said, "Father, then let him go to the imperial kitchen for guidance and make some delicious new dishes!" ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let him point out." If the food is not to the taste of the son, he will be severely punished. ”

The son grinned, ran out of the palace, and asked the uncle to make something to eat.

The royal kitchen, of course, is rich in ingredients. You have to prepare for what you don't eat or not. In case the emperor wants to eat something, you can't get it, and if you change to a faint king, you will lose your head.

Although the time is a bit short, Xu Qilin didn't plan to cook a big table of dishes. Let the cook cook four cold dishes, prepare the charcoal stove and copper basin, and the rest is sesame paste, fermented bean curd, garlic and other seasonings.

In the end, it is the imperial kitchen, not to mention the taste of cooking, it is this knife work, which makes Xu Qilin very admired. 's own cooks, as well as those in the drunken supper building, are also a little worse than others.

The staple food is noodles, which are rolled by hand, and the craftsmanship of the imperial chef is also fine.

The only thing that troubled Xu Qilin was the meal sharing system during meals. Dignified ninety-five supreme, can sit with others and stretch out chopsticks to stir in the basin?

Okay, just let someone else wait for you, and I'll take care of Sister Ah and Xiao Gongju.

Time passed quickly, and after more than half an hour, Xu Qilin asked the palace people to bring utensils, meat and vegetables to eat.

"It's coming, it's coming." The son went up to the door of the palace from time to time to look, and when he finally saw the palace people, he immediately smiled, ran to his own food table and sat down, and beckoned the little sister to sit beside him.

The cold dishes are divided first and put on everyone's table. Under the gaze of everyone in amazement, a small table was set up in front of the eating table, a charcoal stove was placed on it, a copper basin was sitting, and plates of meat and vegetables were arranged.

Xu Qilin laughed twice, and solemnly explained: "This is a way of eating created by the master when he traveled, claiming to be delicious and named 'shabu'. ”
