The remnant sun faded, the clouds were like fire, and half of the sky was blood-red and beautiful. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

After leaving the Tanglin Palace, Liu Xi found that the clothes behind him had been wet for most of the time, and the damp piece was attached to his back, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"The power of this emperor is really powerful."

The gentle spring breeze was blowing, and there was no one at the mouth of the alley, Liu Xi lifted the shirt behind his back with his hand and said mockingly.

Liu Xi never thought that a person who had no cultivation would have the power of surging like a sea tide, perhaps after his cultivation was promoted, it was easier to feel the ethereal oppression, and the king of ten thousand times really had the power to destroy the city and destroy the country with anger.

Thinking that he would still have to deal with Li Shan in the future, Liu Xi felt a headache and upset, but as long as he could slash the enemy, what were these?

The scene of the fire in the ruined temple once again appeared in his mind, and a sharp wind rushed out from Liu Xi's side, and his clothes were agitated.

At his feet, the grass swayed and danced in the masonry wind, and the light that leaked into the alley seemed to be shattered, scattered and mottled.

His fists clucked, his sword eyebrows frowned, his appearance was gloomy, and Liu Xi's face was full of anger.

In the middle of the night, the sound of footsteps sounded in the silent alley, and Liu Xi, who was falling into endless hatred, hurriedly came back to his senses, reined in the momentum that was inadvertently emanated, and looked up, but it was a few drooping children who were happily trotting from a distance, and the paper windmill in his hand turned with the wind, reflecting the smiling face like a flower.

What a cheerful child, so admirable.

Sighing for a moment, Liu Xi continued to move forward, but he was thinking about what happened in the Tanglin Palace, I don't know if it was creation or providence, so that he and Tang Emperor Li Shan met, first, the wine business of Mantangchun was protected, and secondly, he had the identity of Xiucai.

If it weren't for Li Shan's sudden mention today, Liu Xi wouldn't know that he needed the identity of Xiucai to participate in the Autumn Festival, but with the two Li Tang princes, King Zhenxi and King Tangling, it shouldn't be difficult.

But to win the championship among 10,000 people and become the champion, he is still not sure.

After all, the imperial examination is not a poetry endowment, although Liu Xi followed Liu Han to learn the Four Books and Five Classics when he was a child, but the latter taught him without sticking to books and scrolls, and there were great deviant words, how could such a proposition be used in the scientific examination?

Frowning, Liu Xi sighed softly and looked at the endless alley in front of him, "It seems that there is still a long way to go." ”

He shook his head and walked slowly, the afterglow spilling down from the blue-tiled house, carving the thin figure on the whitewashed wall of the house on one side.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already curling smoke up into the sky with the wind, and the tip of his nose was the aroma of his tongue, and it was time for dinner.

After going out for an afternoon, it was inevitable to be asked about what he had seen and heard, Wu Shuang'er coquettishly hugged his arm and asked if the palace was as full of gold, silver, pearls and jade as rumored, Qin still listened quietly, occasionally asking a word or two about the scenery in the palace.

Naturally, the most eagerness is the horse embroidery that scratches his ears and cheeks and pulls Liu Xi's sleeves.

"Yusheng, have you seen Lord Shurou? How is she now? But emaciated? But the face is lighter? Have you ever suffered? ”

This series of questions made Liu Xi cry and laugh, but looking at Ma Xiu's eager appearance, he had to suppress his temperament and respond, "Today, the lord of Shurou County is very well, it can be said that if you increase one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short, and her eyebrows are still like green feathers, and her muscles are like snow, which is beautiful and moving." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu put his mind at ease, and then showed loss on his face, walked to the side, and said to himself, "The county lord is fine, but why didn't she come to look for me, could it be that she didn't miss me at all?" ”

Seeing his dejected appearance, Liu Xi didn't know how to comfort him, the love word was the most haggard, how could the torture that went deep into the bone marrow be worn away by a few simple words?

Fortunately, Ma Xiu was not too low, and when Qin still brought out the fragrant meal from the boiling room, he became as if he had nothing to do, and while eating the dishes, he was gossiping with Xiao Wu and Qu Lang.

While eating, Liu Xi looked up and saw a figure in front of the door that seemed to be leaning in, but he hesitated, and after a while, he recognized that it was Zhang Xiaoquan's mother, Zhang Hu.

Dropping the chopsticks in his hand, Liu Xi called in a low voice, "Aunt Zhang outside the door?" ”

When the words fell, the Zhang Hu family outside the door walked in, bowing his head, his expression was a little restrained and uneasy, even if Liu Xi often asked Zhang Xiaoquan to take her to dinner, but the woman who had been beaten and scolded for half her life still did not dare to go beyond the slightest.

"Has Aunt Zhang eaten? If you haven't yet, you can eat some with me, today the lady of the Qin family made some delicious dishes, and I thought it would be a pity to not finish eating. ”

Liu Xi said this, Qin was still about to get up to get the dishes and chopsticks, and the Hu family hurriedly shook his head, "Son, girl, the slave family doesn't need to eat." Today is the slave family's birthday, and Koizumi said that he would go home early, but he couldn't see a figure until now, so the slave family wondered if there was a serious delay. When I went to the restaurant, the little boy said that it had already closed, and he wondered if the boy had a place to tell him, so he came to take a look. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hu raised his head and looked into the room, and saw that Zhang Xiaoquan was no longer there, his eyes were full of worry.

There was still a warm smile on his face, but Liu Xi was quite shocked in his heart, Zhang Xiaoquan was missing?

Zhang Xiaoquan is a filial son, and when he met Aunt Zhang's birthday, he must have to go home early, not to mention that it has become a routine for drunken immortals to close the door.

It seems that what Liu Xi has been worried about has happened.

actually bullied him, and a wave of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, he had to come up with some ruthless means, otherwise, I don't know how many ghosts and ghosts saw the full spring day into the gold, and their eyes were red like flies.

It's just that in front of the anxious Zhang Hu clan in front of him, Liu Xi endured his anger and continued to smile and say in a harmonious voice, "I didn't expect that today is Aunt Zhang's birthday, but Liu Xi was negligent, I have a batch of goods outside the city, and I am in a hurry to get them back, so I let Xiaoquan go." ”

Saying that, Liu Xi wanted to apologize to the Hu family, where did the latter dare to accept it, so he hurriedly hid to the side, his wrinkled brows scattered, revealing a slight honest smile, "Childe's business is the most important matter, Xiaoquan can share his worries for Childe, that is his blessing." ”

"Xiaoquan will be back later, since Aunt Zhang, since you are here, you will eat some with me and others, and let everyone be happy, right?"

Ma Xiu shouted and said, Qin still and Wu Shuang'er stepped forward in response to pull the departing Zhang Hushi to the table, and Tian Xun'er took out a pair of chopsticks silently.

Suddenly, the room was full of joy again, and Zhang Hu was a little cramped to replace the wine with tea and thank the person who toasted her birthday, perhaps because she had never experienced such a scene, or had never been so cared for, and there were tears in her eyes.

Lowering her head and wiping the corner of her eyes with her sleeve, Zhang Hu likes the lively scene in front of her very much, this is the feeling of home she expects.

It's just that she didn't notice that Ma Xiu, who was so honest, had quietly left.
