Xu Hui said with a smile: "Your Majesty's comments are pure gold. The concubines just think they are good-looking, and they are slightly different from other families, but they can't tell the trick. ”

His Majesty Li Er was a little proud, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiaolang is good, he is still young, and he has the intention of innovation." Well, I will give him a volume of 'First Class Authentic Works', so that he can copy and practice it for a long time! ”

"The concubine thanked Your Majesty for the reward on behalf of Xiaolang." Xu Hui bowed down in his clothes.

His Majesty Li Er loved calligraphy and collected the works of famous artists widely and collected them in the inner house.

Since the authentic works of the Inner Mansion are not allowed to be passed on to the outside world, His Majesty Li Er often uses the hard yellow couch technique of "first-class authentic works" to reproduce the works to reward the ministers.

And being rewarded by the emperor was a great event in ancient times. Xu Hui was naturally happy for his younger brother, and felt that it was also a choice to enter the profession from calligraphy.

As for Xu Qilin's big career of being crowned an official and becoming a knight, Xu Hui didn't pay attention to it at all, he just thought that the younger brother was still young, and he thought about things simply and naïvely.

I don't know what new things the little brother has made, so I feel that I can win His Majesty's favor and make steady progress.

Speaking of which, His Majesty Li Er is good at calligraphy, loves calligraphy, and values calligraphers, but he is not conformist.

On the one hand, he "pursues the right army with his heart", and on the other hand, he carries forward his style of "unconventional, graceful and elegant, beautiful garden, and beautiful in the garden", and pays attention to the backbone and momentum of calligraphy.

It is precisely in this way that His Majesty Li Er still appreciates Xu Qilin's innovative regular script and does not demand its shortcomings.

While the two were talking, Princess Jinyang jumped in, threw herself into the arms of His Majesty Li Er, and said coquettishly: "Father, my son will shake the bell, will I shake it for you now?" ”

His Majesty Li Er took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead for his beloved daughter dotingly, and said with a smile: "My father just saw it, and my son is trembling and buzzing, which is really powerful." ”

The son was praised by his father, smiled happily, and naughtily pulled the beautiful hair under his father's chin.

His Majesty Li Er touched the little face of his beloved female fan, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and Wen Yan said: "But my son is weak, so don't play more, so as not to be tired." ”

Princess Jinyang blinked her big and round eyes and said, "But Xu Xiaolang said that regular exercise can make your physique stronger. It is also said that there is a saying: physical health and illness will disappear by itself. ”

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's right, but the key is still in moderation, don't be tired!" ”

Princess Jinyang nodded her little head and said, "Zi said: It's too late." Father rest assured, his son understands this truth, and he will not be lazy or tired. ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is intelligent, and she is absolutely right." Xu Hui couldn't help but praise.

His Majesty Li Er bowed his head lightly, and his face showed a smug expression. It looks like that, saying: I don't look at whose daughter it is, can she be smart and clever?

At this time, the princess of Xincheng was also held by the nurse and walked over.

After the death of Empress Wende, Li Zhi, the king of Jin, and Li Mingda, the princess of Jinyang, were young and lonely, and His Majesty Li Er made a move that shocked the world and personally raised two young children.

And Princess Xincheng was also born to Empress Wende, and she is still the youngest, and His Majesty Li Er is also very favored.

You must know that the princess of Xincheng will be crowned the princess of Hengshan County when she is eight years old, which not only breaks the convention of the Tang Dynasty that "all famous mountains, Dachuan and Jinai counties are not allowed to be sealed", but also got the actual seal early.

It's just that the princess of Xincheng is too young, and His Majesty Li Er did not raise it personally like he did for Jin Yang and King Jin, but arranged for her to be taken care of by a nurse elsewhere.

"Father, father." When the princess of Xincheng saw her father, she screamed milkily, twisted her little body in the arms of the nurse, and stretched out her little hand to ask for a hug.

His Majesty Li Er smiled more and more happily, and reached out to take Xincheng, one on one leg, and the two daughters were sitting on their laps.

The princess of Xincheng giggled, held up the new toy in her hand, and showed it to her father.

"Ah, it's—rabbit." His Majesty Li Er looked at this strange-looking thing, and only from the long ears could he tell what it was.

"Bunny, Bunny. Help you, help you. The princess of Xincheng grinned, with a chubby, pink face, so simple and cute that it killed people.

The son stretched out his hand and touched it, his face was full of love, and he introduced to his father: "This is the toy brought by Xiao Zhao, she said that this rabbit is called Bonnie." She also said that the next time she came, she would give me another one. ”

"Oh, the rabbit has a name, what's it called—'help you'?" His Majesty Li Er thought it was funny, but he liked Jinyang's character of not competing with his sister.

Looking at the expression and eyes, you know that Jinyang also likes this rabbit toy called "Help You". But there was only one time when she was willing to give it to her younger sister.

Pampering Jin Yang's little hand very much, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "Let the palace people do this for their sons now, this 'help you'." When Xiao Zhao re-enters the palace, it will take a few days, right? ”

How could Xu Hui not think of this way, but after all, she still wanted her sister to gain the favor of the princess, and when she heard His Majesty Li Er say this, she smiled silently.

Jin Yang immediately clapped his hands when he heard this, smiled happily, and stretched out his hand to measure, "That son is bigger than this, it must be comfortable to sleep and hold it." ”

"Okay, let's make it big." His Majesty Li Er thought that his daughter had lost her mother at such a young age, and that a little person slept on the big bed at night, he couldn't help but feel sad, and agreed to his daughter's request without a word.

"Big, big." The princess of Xincheng is not good at talking, but she also knows how to ask for more toys.

"Big, as big as the new city." His Majesty Li Er hugged them one by one, these two daughters were his treasures, and he would pick the stars even if he wanted them.

……………

The weather is clear, the south wind blows, and a wave of heat rolls up from the hot ground, making people feel a little suffocated.

Xu Qilin walked sweating profusely, saw a forest in front of him, hurried to the shade of the tree, and the fan in his hand shook quickly, dispelling the summer heat.

Grange, this is the land of the Xu family. Forty or fifty miles away from Chang'an, there are only more than 500 acres of fields, and a considerable part of them are close to Cuihua Mountain, which belongs to the barren mountainous land.

No way, Lao Xu was a Beijing official who was transferred later. At that time, the land around Chang'an City was basically rewarded by Gaozu and Taizong, who were either relatives of the emperor or honorable heroes.

And the Xu family was able to get this hundreds of acres of land closer to Chang'an, or it was stained with Xu Hui's light, which was rewarded by His Majesty Li Er.

Of course, these hundreds of acres of not fertile fields, less than 100 households, and the scale of those nobles and high-ranking officials' granges cannot be compared, but they can also make Xu Qilin addicted to small landlords.

Now, this small grange is not only the Xu family's land rental income, but also the base for Xu Qilin to start his business.
