Chapter Seventy-Six: Smiling and Turning to Starry Eyes
I didn't eat much, and I felt hungry when I returned to the palace, but fortunately, Ling'er was careful, and I left steamed buns during lunch, just to cushion my stomach.
"Sister, obviously so hungry, but when you come back, you are so happy, what kind of happy event has you encountered?" Ling'er's big bright eyes winked at me.
I touch my face and am happy, do I have it?
I denied it, "You are wrong, as you say. ”
Ling'er didn't believe it, "Sister, when you came back, there was a smile in your eyes, you have never been so happy, even your eyes are shining." Don't you hide it from me, tell me what happened today, your whole person has changed? ”
Reunion with the old man today, the mood is good, but it is not as exaggerated as Ling'er said. I smiled lightly, "Not really, it's just that the weather is nice today, and it's a little refreshing." ”
"I don't believe it." Ling Er didn't relent, "Sister has encountered someone or something today, tell me about it." ”
"It's nothing, I guess what's wrong, I'm going to go to the Zhengwu Palace, I didn't tell you."
I got up, dodged her questioning, and walked briskly towards the Zhengwu Palace.
The daylight is long, and the white light blocked by the red windows of the wall is sifted through the tulle lattice wood and is faintly covered with water into the hall, and the bright light and shadow are thin on the surface of Yuwen Yong, which is more handsome. Different from the white of Chen Guo's regular clothes, the regular clothes of the emperor of Zhou are black, Yu Wenyong wears a black wide sleeve and sits on the imperial case engraved with a dragon and a pearl, playing a chess with a hand in his hand, his expression is lazy, the autumn is sullen, and the streamer is always quiet.
"Your Majesty." I put a stack of pieces in front of the desk, "This is the excerpt that Otsuka Zai has reviewed, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to look at it." ”
Government affairs are all handled by Yuwen Hu, and Yuwen Yong only needs a batch of royal pens. He picked up the pen, didn't even bother to look at the fold, wrote the word 'Yiyi' at random, attached the date, and the fold behind it was painted according to the gourd, and the approval was quickly completed.
"Your Majesty, the hussar general Yuwen Shenju, the little scholar girl Feng Shi asks to see." An attendant came to report.
Yu Wenyong glanced at me, "I remember that you still have some friendship with that Feng family, so you go and announce them in." ”
"Whoa."
As I walked out of the temple, I saw two figures in the distance, a man and a woman, and when I got closer, I heard a slight argument.
"This official has something important to report to Your Majesty." Ling'er's voice.
"It turns out that idle people like the little scholar girl also have important things, I thought you would only hang out by the lotus pond all day long, or you would just talk and joke with Qi Guogong in the imperial garden." It was a young man with a heroic face who spoke.
Ling Er's crisp laughter sounded, "This official just greeted Qi Guogong a few times according to the number of courtesies, how did it become a joke?" Could it be you...... Eye problems? Lord Yuwen, General Shenju, if you see anything in the way, just tell me directly, I won't discriminate against you. How embarrassing you are to be directly exposed like now! ”
The young man gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have a problem with my eyes!" ”
Ling Er's voice became more cheerful, "Is there a problem with the wording?" Lord Yuwen, I can understand that you don't have enough knowledge and inappropriate language, but others may not think so. I don't know how to use words, but it's easy to offend the boss and cause very serious consequences. But don't worry, if anything happens to you in the future, I will mourn you silently in my heart for a quarter of an hour. ”
Seeing that the man was choked by Ling'er and couldn't say a word, I couldn't help laughing, and walked over and said, "Two, Your Majesty announced that you will enter the palace." ”
Only then did the two of them look good and enter the Zhengwu Palace.
"Your Majesty asked Weichen to arrange the autumn hunting in advance, and the minister has already arranged it. This is the map of the scope of activities and the deployment of troops in the autumn hunt, please take a look at it, Your Majesty. Yuwen Shenju presented a drawing.
Yu Wenyong took a general look, "I think it's okay, so let's do it." ”
Then he said sharply to Yuwen Shenju: "Remember, there must be no mistake in the defense of Autumn Hunt, otherwise, I am the only one who asks!" ”
Yuwen Shen raised his head, "Remember." ”
Yu Wenyong turned his gaze to Ling Er, "Female officer Feng, what do you have to report?" ”
Ling Er said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the autumn coolness is coming, and the inner palace has to buy some autumn clothes." The concubine felt that the pattern of the autumn clothes in the past was too complicated and flashy. The inner palace should save money and share the worries of His Majesty. Wei Chen studied a few copies of the previous generation of public clothing illustrations, and combined with the popular patterns and styles, asked Si Yisi to draw several patterns, and asked His Majesty to cut them. ”
Yu Wenyong looked at the picture book handed over by Ling'er and praised: "Yes, concise and generous, it's time to change the luxurious atmosphere of the harem, and the concubine has a heart." You go back and tell the concubine that I will go to see her tonight. ”
When Yu Wenyong said this, his eyes glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw that I didn't react, his tone towards Ling'er was not so good, "You also have a heart, I will send someone from Shaofu to reward you." ”
Ling Er didn't know why Yu Wenyong was in a bad mood, so she only said, "Your Majesty." ”
Yuwen Shenju and Ling'er retreated, and Yuwen Yong looked sullen. He Quan beside me gave me a look and motioned for me to go and appease him. I pretended not to understand, but I didn't move, and He Quan was helpless.
Afterwards, when Ling'er came to me, I asked her, "Did you have a holiday with that General Yuwen Shenju?" ”
Ling Er pouted and said, "Sister, you don't know, that person is stingy." When we met for the first time, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond bloomed well, I picked one, and he saw it, he actually scolded me for not knowing how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, I threw the flowers in his face when I was angry, who knew that he actually fell into the lotus pond with a head, or I saved him, didn't I just laugh at him and say 'landlubber', he actually left with a straight face, and didn't even say thank you. ”
I laughed and said, "So, since then, you've been carrying it, and you have to stab each other a few times when you meet?" ”
Ling Er clarified: "I stabbed him, how could he stab me." As far as his fire is concerned, where is my opponent. ”
I quipped, "Yes, yes, our Ling'er girl is the best!" ”
After laughing, I remembered something again, "Listening to Your Majesty's meaning today, it seems that Yuwen Shenju is in charge inside and outside the Su Guard Army, wasn't General Yu Yi in charge before, how did it become Yuwen Shenju?" ”
Ling'er said: "Sister, you don't know yet, as early as when His Majesty went south to return to the palace, General Yu Yi was proposed by Otsuka Zai to be promoted to Xiao Situ because of his meritorious escort, and now it is Yuwen Shenju who is in charge of the guards." ”
Promoted to Little Situ? Although Xiao Situ's official position is higher than that of the commander of the Su Guards, he has no military power, which is a bright rise and a secret descent. Could it be that Yu Yi and Yuwen Yong got too close, and Yuwen became suspicious, so he transferred Yu Yi away?
The school hall of Yijian Hall is a quaint tiled house, the wooden door in front is painted with red paint, the wall stacks are covered with dark moss, and the upper part is a half-gray old red brick wall, and the roof is a row of slanting gray tiles, like a green mountain with rain passing through smoke. A few elm and fruit trees surround the low tiled houses, and the green trees are hidden among the red-walled tiled houses, which adds a bit of interest to this simple place.
When I came, there was a tall ladder erected next to the tile house, and Mo Ziwei was sitting on the tile house to build tiles. Jing Hao told me that because there were several broken light leaks on the roof of the school, it needed to be repaired. Mo Ziwei was repairing the house on the top, and his green clothes seemed to blend with the green sky and green trees in the distance. The breeze blows, and I can't see his face clearly, just looking at the busy figure, you can feel his concentration and seriousness.
After a long time, he finally came down. I handed him a bowl of water, and when he saw me, he was slightly surprised, and then took it with a smile, "Thank you." "After that, Xu was so thirsty that he drank it all in one gulp.
The house was repaired and everyone was happy. The curator took the children to cool off on the grassy slope behind the house, and everyone chatted and played a game of guessing. While several teachers were writing puzzles on paper, I took them from their hands, showed them to the students below, and asked questions.
"Up and down as one, type." I held up the paper and read.
"I know." Jinghao raised her little hand excitedly, "It's Ka." ”
"Jing Hao is so smart, she reacts faster than these boys." After I finished praising it, I read the next question, "There is someone inside, type." ”
Seeing that Jing was in the limelight, the boys were not to be outdone, and immediately said: "It's meat!" ”
"Looks like the boys are pretty good." I smiled and said, "Come up at two o'clock, type." ”
"Off!"
"One by one, go into the annals of history, type one word."
"More!"
"If you don't say it in the morning, don't say it late, type it."
"Xu!"
"It won't work in the water."
This is a bit difficult, there was silence for a while, no one could tell, I revealed the answer, "Yes Yan." ”
When I said this, the children suddenly realized that they couldn't think of it.
"Candied coptis, play an idiom."
After a moment of silence, someone said: "Share weal and woe." ”
"That's right, this kid has learned idioms very well."
"A blind man touches an elephant and plays an idiom."
Caught up in a lot of thought, the children said something that was not right, and I said, "I don't know the general situation." ”
"Extending in all directions, playing an idiom."
“?” The audience fell silent.
"The head is the way." I declare the mystery to the end.
"Death, play an idiom."
In silence again, I announced, "Sit back and wait." ”
"Dumb gesturing, playing an idiom."
At the beginning, the puzzle was very simple, and most of the children could guess it, but when the difficulty increased, they gradually couldn't answer it, and the children turned their attention to Mo Ziwei for help.
Under Mo Ziwei's hint, a child said loudly: "It goes without saying." ”
"Correct. Next: fluffy and fluffy, flying in the air in March, looking like snowflakes from afar, and a ball of velvet up close. Hit a thing. ”
"Catkins."
"There are roots that do not touch the ground, there are leaves that do not bloom, they drift with the water during the day, and they do not return home at night. Hit a water creature. ”
"Duckweed."
Most of this was answered under Mo Ziwei's prompting, and I turned a blind eye to it. Several teachers found out and were very upset. simply beckoned Mo Ziwu to come up, "Aren't you very good at guessing the question, then you can come up and answer, you don't need to ask these children to answer." ”
