I can't wait for me to send it all and then see it.,How can I finish writing it before the 20th.,I thought no one read it.,But I laughed when I saw that I was now swiping the screen and saying mine.,Hehe,Actually, I'm not afraid of everyone scolding me.,I'm afraid of being cold.,There was something really going on a few days ago.,The update is unstable, I should have said.,I'm sorry.,The main thing I thought I watched a lot.,I didn't care.,It's going to be updated continuously these days.,Until the end of the post)
She sat down again, saw the dishes on the table, and asked, "Uncle doesn't like meat?" ”
Concubine Wang didn't know what she would say again, so she interrupted: "That's not the case, the bear's paw is the emperor's uncle's favorite thing." ”
Sure enough, before the words fell, two palace ladies walked into the courtyard, put a plate of fragrant braised bear paws on the table, and exited the small courtyard.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Sister-in-law still remembers that the little brother likes bear paws? It's a bit scary. ”
Wang Guifei said: "The second brother will also be afraid, taste it, I specially ordered it to be cooked according to the second brother's taste, and I don't know what it tastes like." ”
The bear's paw is soaked in more than 20 kinds of condiments such as chicken soup, shrimp, crab roe, pork, etc., the juice is red and bright, with beautifully carved white radish and green vegetables, which makes people salivate, Wu Zhi picked up the chopsticks, but asked uneasily: "The imperial sister-in-law didn't choose the wrong left and right palms, right?" ”
Wang Guifei nodded slightly, but she was curious: "Left and right palms? I heard that the front palm of the bear's paw tastes fresher than the back paw, what does the left and right palm mean? ”
Wang Guifei covered her mouth and smiled, "This, I want to ask your imperial uncle." His expression was a little timid, obviously unable to speak.
It is rare for her mother to be so happy, and she feels that her mother is happy in her own heart, so she looks at her mother strangely, and then looks at Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi smiles indifferently: "It is rumored that when the bear hibernates, one forefoot is used to lick it, and it tastes delicious, but the other forefoot is placed on the buttocks, which is slightly smelly, and it is a bear paw that is used to lick when cooking." ”
Yu Yu said: "The left biography records that Jin Linggong killed him because he was shy and stubborn, but the emperor's uncle also had the style of the ancients. ”
Wang Guifei's face changed when she heard this, and she glared: "Mo Hu said, it's all petted, you are lawless!" ”
She didn't seem to hear her scolding, and poured the wine for Wang Guifei.
It was said that Jin Linggong was picky about the chef and killed him because the chef was unfamiliar with the bear's paws, but Wu Zhi didn't understand and asked, "What is the reason why Xiong Pan is not familiar?" ”
Wang Guifei, who was a little angry, couldn't help but laugh, glanced at Wu Zhi angrily and funny, and said in her heart that since the dynasties, the most unlearned prince is only afraid of this, and the partial birth is his subtlety, and the Great Song Dynasty is slowly becoming stronger.
She blinked her big eyes, and in Wu Zhi's opinion, she looked at herself as if she had seen an alien, which made Wu Zhi not embarrassed.
She was stunned for a long time, and then burst out with a sentence: "Doesn't my uncle read the biography of the Liechaos?" ”
Wu Zhixin said that don't talk about the biographies of the dynasties, that is, I haven't read the four books and five classics, I can't say this, otherwise I won't be denounced as the scum of the royal family by the contemporary Confucians?
smiled and said: "What is there to read in the biography of the Lie Dynasty?" Knowledge lies in living and learning, and it is better to travel a hundred miles than to read thousands of books. ”
Wang Guifei said: "Yes, the second brother has been inspecting the place all these years and crusading against Dongying, but what is the interesting thing?" Naturally, I wanted to divert the topic, so as not to embarrass Wu Zhi.
Wu Zhi said: "How can there be so many interesting things? It's just a tour of the mountains and rivers, but the imperial sister-in-law should go out for a walk if she has time. ”
Wang Guifei said: "I think so too, it's just that in the deep palace, how can it be so easy to go out for a walk?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled: "What's so difficult? The imperial sister-in-law pretends to be a palace lady, as long as the saint doesn't say it, who knows that the queen mother will leave the palace? The younger brother will go to Jiangnan to visit Lord Yuezhang in a few days, and the imperial sister-in-law can accompany him if she is interested. ”
Wang Guifei smiled and shook her head: "I'm not so nonsense. ”
Originally, she was already full of contempt for Wu Zhi, and she didn't speak anymore, just quietly sipping tea, but when she heard this, she couldn't help but say: "Queen Mother, it's time for you to go out for a walk, and Uncle Huang's words make sense." ”
Wang Guifei said lightly: "What does the child's family know? I think you want to go out and play, right? ”
She said: "The queen mother is willing to bring the queen, then it is naturally the best, the mother is so old and has not been out of the palace?" After a few years of marriage, I may be sent by my brother to kiss, I heard that many countries have submitted national documents, and they all hope that I will marry it, hehe, then I will never have the opportunity to go out with my mother in the future. ”
Although she smiled and spoke, Wu Zhi could hear the faint sourness in her words, and sighed in her heart, how could this child have so many troubles at such a young age? But think about what she said, but nineteen will come true, among the princesses who have not yet married, the eldest is the oldest, there are many countries in the Great Song Dynasty now, and there are more than a dozen subject countries that hand over the letter of hope and the Great Song Dynasty, even if Zhao Huan loves his sister, he is afraid that it is useless, under the pressure of the courtiers, most of the fate of the future will be sent to the relatives.
Wang Guifei obviously felt it in her heart, her face darkened slightly, and she bowed her head and said nothing.
"Hey, this bear's paw is delicious...... Queen Mother, Uncle Huang, why don't you eat? She smiled and gave Wu Zhi and Wang Guifei a dish, and told a few jokes to make Wu Zhi and Wang Guifei laugh, Wu Zhi had a smile on his face, and sighed in his heart, no wonder Zhao Huan likes this sister, it seems to be noble and proud, but in fact she is an understanding little girl.
"Mother, you promise me to take me out to play." After laughing for a while, she picked up the conversation again.
Wang Guifei couldn't bear to refuse, but she and she went to Jiangnan with Wu Zhi? But it is absolutely impossible, I couldn't help but look at Wu Zhi in embarrassment, Wu Zhi knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Auntie, if the imperial sister-in-law refuses to go, my uncle will take you to it by yourself, the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, you should really go and see." ”
She shook her head and said, "If the queen mother doesn't go, I won't go myself." ”
Wang Guifei said: "Don't mess around, you know that I will definitely not go." ”
She smiled and said, "Yes, so, it's just talking," he turned his head to Wu Zhi and said, "Uncle Huang, I heard from the guards that some people outside are very fierce, and they kill people with knives at every turn, aren't they?" I heard that these people are called heroes? ”
Wu Zhi said: "There is such a thing. ”
She said: "The murderer is revered by the world, is the world really ignorant?" But he didn't ask Wu Zhi, but he was talking to himself, shaking his head slightly, obviously quite disapproving.
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The words are not like this, the rulers of the past dynasties are really rare today, since the officials protect each other, naturally give birth to a kind of group, violent confrontation against the government, so there is a saying of killing the rich and helping the poor, naturally supported by the poor, they also represent the interests of the poor and vulnerable groups, to this day ordinary people still worship these people who dare to resist the court, this concept is not easy to reverse, but if the government is clear, over time, this kind of heroes will naturally become less and less." ”
She nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Listening to Uncle Huang's words, I don't dislike these heroes, but Uncle Huang said that the poor are a vulnerable group?" It's the first time I've heard of it, but it's appropriate. ”
Wu Zhi said: "The Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven should do the right thing for the heavens, if you don't do the things of the Son of Heaven and cause the people's resentment to boil, these heroes are naturally the more the better, but unfortunately most of these people can't do things, and there are occasional successes, and there are not too many people who are powerful and blessed, and the people pin their hopes on these heroes but it is in vain." ”
She said: "Yes, looking at the history books of the past dynasties, the founders of the country were all born nobles, and there were many visions in their births. When the thunder and lightning were obscure, the prince looked at it and saw the dragon on it. has a body, and then gave birth to a high ancestor. Is it really providence? Rich and poor, all are determined by heaven? ”
Wu Zhi smiled silently, after all, if this era insists on saying that these records are all made up, then he will become a madman, not to mention that he has not seen it with his own eyes, who knows if it is true or false?
She said: "When the historian of this dynasty recorded the birth of his brother, he also said that Lingzhi was everywhere, which is the appearance of the arrival of the Holy Son of Heaven, the queen mother, is it true?" ”
Wang Guifei hesitated slightly, and said: "I was not there when I was born, I don't know, I think it must be true, how can the historian scribble?" ”
She suddenly smiled and said, "Queen Mother, my brother told me that it was scribbled, and you covered it up for him, and my brother said that he had asked the midwife who was present at the time, and he was scared to cut off the midwife's head, and the midwife told the truth, but mother, you didn't tell the truth." ”
Wang Guifei glared at her angrily: "Can't you say something else to the saint?" It's all this mess, and most of the saint's nonsense is picked up by you. ”
She smiled and said: "Who likes to talk to him, every time he comes to talk about it, I just ask casually about this, he sent someone to bring his mother-in-law who is hundreds of miles away to the capital, he likes to mess around, but the queen mother doesn't scold him." ”
Wang Guifei sighed, turned her head to Wu Zhi and said, "Second brother smiled, this child is so stubborn, how can he be half well-behaved when he was a child?" I still remember that she and you were very close to each other at that time, and the second brother was afraid that he would forget it. ”
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "When I was a child, I was well-behaved and cute, but now I am beautiful and clever, and I am generally likable." ”
As soon as Wang Guifei said this, she remembered Zhao Huan's words, although she was young at the time, but now she is sitting next to the man who hugged her, her face can't help but blush slightly, and she bows her head and stops talking.
Wu Zhi said: "In fact, she can't be said to be stubborn, she just likes to explore the truth, even if the various visions mentioned in the history books are all made up to cater to the will, history is written by the victor." ”
She raised her head and said: "Yes, Uncle Huang's sentence is the most appropriate, history is written by the victors, and this is a great good." ”
Wu Zhi sighed and said, "If you are a man, you may become a scientist or something like that in the future." I sighed in my heart, what about a wise woman now? In the future, he will still marry, serve his husband, and adopt his son, but he will not be able to become an outstanding character in the end.
"Scientist? ”
Wu Zhi patted his head and said with a smile: "That's what you mean by Gewu everyone and something like that." In fact, mathematics and physics have quietly emerged through the Confucian theory of things, which is also the foundation of mathematical science.
She clapped her hands and smiled: "Yes, how does Uncle Huang know that I like to know things, but Master Huang said that this is a side door, what does my uncle say?" ”
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The study of Gewu will only have a far-reaching impact after a hundred years, and the history will be rewritten in the future after the pioneer of Gewu." ”
She bowed her head slightly, and she no longer despised Wu Zhi when she looked at her, but she didn't like it because Wu Zhi echoed her, after all, although she liked astronomy and geography such as Gewu, how did she know what kind of impact exploring Gewu would have on the world? Her change in Wu Zhi is because of Wu Zhi's self-confidence in pointing out the country, watching him speak, he really has the demeanor of leading the Great Song Dynasty to ride the wind and waves, but the elder brother is far behind, if those legends, the history books record that the deeds of the imperial uncle are sixty percent true, then it is the imperial uncle who has not read the left biography in front of him who has brought earth-shaking changes to the Great Song Dynasty, not the former emperor who died and the current Holy Son of Heaven.
Wang Guifei looked at this big and small talk more and more speculative, what arithmetic celestial phases, animals and plants, and finally talked about the earth and sky gas, she couldn't help but smile bitterly, watching her mouth open wider and wider, it was even more funny, only others would show this expression when she heard her speak, but now after listening to Wu Zhi's unbelievable words, it can be said that she is a big witch, and now she knows what is outside the sky, right? Wang Guifei smiled and shook her head. Just watching the two of them chatting, looking at it, Wang Guifei gradually became in a trance, blurring, as if the three of them had become a family of three, the father and daughter talked affectionately, and the mother listened with a smile next to her......
Wu Zhi was a little thirsty, picked up the teacup and took a sip, only to see Wang Guifei, who was obsessed next to her, but there was a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, but she snubbed her and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let me tell you a few interesting things." ”
After pulling the placket of the princess's clothes, the princess came back to her senses and said, "What? ”
She said, "Uncle Huang is going to tell a story." Wang Guifei nodded slightly.
Wu Zhi spoke up, and told a few interesting things vividly, which made the mother and daughter laugh coquettishly, until they talked about the "immortal jumping" in Jiangnan, but she sighed and said: "Uncle knows these many rivers and lakes methods, and I don't know whether I can see the methods of Lin Xianren......"
Wang Guifei's face changed when she heard this, and she said angrily: "Mo Hu said that he annoyed the heavens!" "This time it turned out that he was really angry.
Lin Xianren is to interpret dreams for Huizong, inadvertently helped Wu Zhi's Lin Daoist, and was later named "Miaotong Zhenren" by Zhao Ji, in recent years, his reputation has been more prominent, because he is a miracle in Taoism, he is regarded as an immortal in the palace, and even Wang Guifei also respects it, and does not allow Bao Bao to believe it.
Wu Zhi smiled and picked up the teacup, but saw that Yu Ying pursed her mouth vigorously, tears flowed down her face, I am afraid that she was rarely reprimanded by Wang Guifei, so she was so wronged.
Wang Guifei said again: "It's just a matter of talking on the side, how dare you blaspheme the immortals?" If I get into trouble, can the little girl afford it? ”
Wu Zhi frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Imperial sister-in-law, do Lin Xianren still like to deceive people so much?" ”
The words from Wu Zhi's mouth are different, Wang Guifei only smiled bitterly and shook her head, I don't know why, Lin Xianren obeyed Wu Zhi's orders, and even had fear, others didn't pay attention, but Wang Guifei liked to pay attention to Wu Zhi intentionally or unintentionally, so she noticed it early.
"Don't cry! I'll take you to interesting places after dinner. Wu Zhi smiled and touched Bao Yuan's head, full of grievances, only to feel Wu Zhi's warm big hand gently caressing the top of his head, indescribably comfortable and reassuring, and even a little intoxicated by this feeling, the troubles in his heart disappeared, and he nodded slightly.
After talking and laughing, Wu Zhi got up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take you to play for a while, and I'll see you later." ”
Wang Guifei smiled: "Don't take her to mess around." "I'm really a little worried in my heart, one big and one small don't seem to be fuel-efficient, and they may cause something when they get together.
Wu Zhi said: "The imperial sister-in-law just rest assured. Slightly arched her hand, turned around and pulled her up and walked out, staring at the backs of one big and one small, Wang Guifei stood for a long time......
Out of the courtyard, Yu Yu blushed and broke free from Wu Zhi's big hand, Wu Zhi saved, in this era, thirteen or fourteen can not be seen as a child, a little embarrassed said: "Uncle Huang didn't want to disrespect you......" After speaking, he was even more embarrassed, strode forward, looking at Wu Zhi's embarrassment, Yuan Yuan, who was originally a little shy, couldn't help but smile slightly and followed.
Seeing Wu Zhi turn left and right, although he didn't know where he wanted to go, he didn't ask, just silently followed behind him, silently walked forward, in his small thoughts, a wonderful emotion actually arose, as if he hoped that this road would never end, so he kept looking at the broad back, always, kept walking......
No matter how far the road is, there will be an end, Wu Zhi suddenly stood up, and said with a smile: "It's here." She looked up, but she arrived outside the "Deshun Palace", the Deshun Palace is the place where Lao Tzu is enshrined, and the Taoist priests in the palace also live here, outside the tall palace walls of the Deshun Palace, you can also smell the faint bell, and there is a faint sandalwood in the air, which makes people feel refreshed and awe-inspired.
She was a little strange and asked, "What is Uncle Huang doing here?" ”
Wu Zhi smiled silently, walked in first, and shouted in his mouth, "Is Immortal Lin here?" There are distinguished guests, Princess Joufu is here! ”
She smiled and followed in, but she was really a little apprehensive in her heart, Lin Xianren seemed to be an elder brother who didn't sell much face, and he didn't care about himself, I don't know if the emperor will eat a closed door. And even if you see Lin Immortal, what can you do? Although he didn't believe it, Lin Xian's humane technique was subtle, but he saw it with his own eyes.
A young Taoist priest who was cleaning at the palace gate heard Wu Zhi shouting and said angrily: "Who is making noise here, annoying the immortals, you are guilty...... Ah" finally shouted, but before the words were finished, the year-old Taoist priest came from behind to whisk the dust, and the old Taoist priest ran over with a smile and said: "It's your king Chitose, you are well." ”
Her eyes widened in surprise, the old Taoist priest was only a real person with Lin Xianren, and his eyes were above the top on weekdays, this kind of flattering expression had never been seen before, but he had always given people the impression of being upright and solemn, and the fairy wind and bones.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Take me to see Lin Xianren." The old Taoist priest nodded hurriedly, leading the way in front, and the three of them passed through several courtyards, and when they arrived at the main hall, Wu Zhi waved his hand slightly and said, "Take me to the side house and ask him to come to see me." The Taoist priest responded again and again, and Bi Gong and Bi Jing led Wu Zhi and Yu Yu to a side hall, and instructed the little Taoist priest to send refreshments, and then retreated.
After the little Taoist priest also retreated, she couldn't help but be curious anymore and asked, "Uncle, they seem to be very afraid of you." ”
Wu Zhi smiled, but before he could speak, he heard a rush of footsteps, and Lin Xianren hurriedly walked in, with big sleeves fluttering and long beards fluttering, as if a fairy had come out of the dust.
Originally, Lin Xianren saw Wu Zhi leaning over and was about to speak, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xuan, coughed, straightened his body, stroked his beard and said, "What is your king doing here, is it my Great Song Dynasty praying for blessings?" ”
Although she didn't have a good impression of him, she had developed a habit for a long time, and stood up from her chair to say hello: "You have seen immortals." ”
Wu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Lin Laodao, don't pretend there, my little niece said that she likes to see you do tricks, so I'll bring her here." ”
She almost didn't sit back in her chair, and she heard that Uncle Huang was arrogant in his words, but he wasn't so arrogant.
But the strange thing is that Lin Xianren not only did not get angry, but immediately changed to a flattering smile and said with a smile: "Can't you save some face for the little Taoist priest when you are old?" As he spoke, he turned around and closed the door of the hall, thinking that he was worried that Wu Zhi's tone was too high and would be heard by the Taoist priest in the distance. When he turned around again, the immortal wind and bone Lin Immortal had already groveled, just like the appearance of the little officials outside the imperial city when they saw Shangguan.
