Chen Menglei couldn't help but feel sour when he heard Xiao Zhi mention the past, tears welled up in his eyes, and he said in a choked voice, "The minister is weak and sick now, and his hair is gray. The king's countenance is also wrinkled. The minister knows very well that all things in the world are born by virtue of the Lord, begging and cherishing, nourishing and strengthening the body, and the hope of the common people in the world......"

Xiao Zhi laughed and said, "Forty-year-old man, you can still do something!" If nothing else happens, the knowledge of the three highnesses is still full of knowledge - the pen inkstone is waiting! ”

When a few chamberlains heard the greeting, they ran to fetch the four treasures of the study, and spread them out on the side of the table. In an instant, it was a place where everyone was watching. Xiao Zhi pondered for a while, and wrote in ink:

The pine is tall, the foliage is thick, the crane is old, and the feathers are new.

A very beautiful face book - after writing it, he said: "Reward you!" ”

"Me?!" Chen Menglei was taken aback, and his head swelled. There was a sound of envy all around. Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "Go back to Zhang Zaitang, although the words are not good, talk as encouragement." ”

Just as the ministers were drinking and laughing in Changchun Garden, they suddenly heard Xiong Cixu shouting: "The civil and military officials leave the table and kneel to pick up the old queen mother!" Immediately, everyone got up one after another, the black crows knelt down for a large time, and the offerings to the water pavilion were also busy stopping the play, and a group of Shengdan Jingug were lying on the stage and knocking remotely.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly came to greet him. The old queen mother got off the court, walked tremblingly, and instructed Xiao Zhen: "Don't use so many courtesies, tell them all to get up, and still eat and drink for fun, so my heart is happy." I'm old, I don't want to move, I didn't want to come, but I was instigated by the four girls, saying that this is a great joy for the founding of the country, the king is happy, don't sweep away the excitement of the staff, so I also came to join in the fun. ”

Ah Xiu said: "It's not as windy outside as in the palace, the old queen mother is old, do you want to put up a felt curtain?" ”

The old queen mother pulled the golden monkey cloak and said with a smile: "You are a person from the west, and you are a felt curtain when you say it - just do it, let them start the show." The king doesn't have to surround me, the courtiers under me have been busy for a year, so let them loosen up! ”

"Yes." Xiao Zhi hurriedly smiled and said, "It's rare that everyone is here tonight." The old queen mother is in such a good mood, and the grandson should also be a little filial tonight to please the old queen mother. ”

"Oh?" The old queen mother hurriedly asked, "What do you honor me?" ”

Xiao Zhi said with a smile: "If you talk about things, it's not uncommon - there is a ready-made stage here." My grandson is going to learn how to play with spotted clothes tonight and give your old man a play! ”

The king wants to act! The news immediately spread throughout the feast. Because there was no arrangement on the ceremony, Xue Bilong suddenly panicked. This is the king's grand act of advocating filial piety, a dignified and elegant thing, he is now in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he must not be admonished, and he is busy calling the Changyin Pavilion to worship the eunuch Tang Jingbao to discuss.

"Banyi drama is a play that is often performed." Tang Jingbao kowtowed and said, "Even if the king makes up new words, let's work hard to tie the knots - it's just that the king is pretending to be the old Laizi, who will pretend to be the old feudal king?" ”

"Bastard!" Qin Mengqi scolded with a smile, "The ready-made old queen mother above is naturally her old man who is gifted!" How can anyone ask you to play the role of an old feudal king? Just tell them to be careful, and don't go too far. ”

Tang Jingbao touched his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Qin Xiang is right!" The villain is confused, just ask them to wait for them! ”

Fortunately, Qin Mengqi reminded Xue Bilong that the minister of the upper study could not stand idly by, so he smiled and said, "I'm afraid we can't be idle, it's not a trivial matter!" At that moment, Guo Zhangkou said: "I'll blow the flute, and Brother Sima can play the drum board accompaniment?" Sima Wei smiled happily: "Of course, respect as fate!" ”

Xue Bilong frowned and said, "What should I do?" …… I'll shoot the cloud board! There has to be an ugly boy who is accompanied by the master's gags, and if you can't continue to say anything, you can also cover it up - this role is difficult! Guo Zhang smiled and pushed Qin Mengqi and said: "This is his business, except for Qinjiang Village, who has such a keen and agile talent?" ”

"I had to reluctantly make it difficult." Qin Mengqi couldn't wait to say this, rolled up his cuffs, put his hair in a bun on the top of his head, pointed to his nose and said, "Just paint a piece of white here, I don't even need to draw my inverted eyebrows." ”

A unique scene has begun, and the text of the play could not be simpler, the eighty-year-old Lao Laizi pretended to be a child for his mother's fun. Just because it has never been a rare thing for the king to act, the old queen mother sitting on top of her smiled and squinted, and when she saw that it was Qin Mengqi who accompanied Xiao Zhi on the stage, she pointed with her hand and said, "Reward him!" ”

Xiao Zhi hurriedly hung a string of beeswax beads for Qin Mengqi with his own hands, and said, "This reward you - make the old queen mother laugh!" "Ah Xiu was born in the Western Regions, and he has never seen this, standing behind the old queen mother and only smiling. At this time, none of the ministers had any intention of eating or drinking, and they all stretched their necks on their seats to watch.

A burst of gongs and drums sounded, Xue Bilong's cloud board was struck, Guo Zhang cheered up, and blew out a kind of tune that seemed to be like Kun, which was very funny. Xiao Zhi shook his big beard, wore a flower-sprinkled red robe, shook a rattle, stepped on the drum with the music, jumped and jumped, and rolled around. Qin Mengqi learned to jump the posture of adding officials, and circled around Kangxi beating his chest and back, making faces.

As soon as he passed the door, Xiao Zhi sang according to the beat: The moon is bright, the wind is clear, the Mid-Autumn Festival is 15 - he is talking nonsense, and he suddenly stopped here.

Qin Mengqi hurriedly wiped his face, pinched his throat and sang: It's a commotion!

Xiao Zhi smiled, turned his head, and sang: Lao Laizi, eighty Weng, there is one in the hall - he can't make it up anymore, Qin Mengqi sat on the ground:

Old birthday boy!

Because they didn't show their mouths at all, they didn't know that they really thought they had made it up in advance. The old queen mother smiled and leaned back, but listened to Xiao Zhi sing again:

Over 100 years old, the people are happy and prosperous, and the people are safe and prosperous. The hand-cranked flower drum rattled, and Gao Tang was happy—he couldn't think of any words to fill in, so he pretended to be careless and tripped to the ground.

But I saw Qin Mengqi bending his waist and singing: - Pure heart! Xiao Zhi was not good at being funny, but listening to Qin Mengqi's smooth reception aroused excitement. Suddenly, Qin Mengqi had a whim, and he danced and said: I suddenly heard the wild waves of the Yellow River-

Qin Mengqi couldn't help but be stunned: It's so unlucky, how can you turn around? But he quickly calmed down, and said: - Long Yan angrily slashed the water demon. Spotted clothes into a colorful filial piety, the seat of the dragon ancestor laughed.

Xiao Zhi listened to the music, and sang again: Taihe's qi is plugged ninefold, let him have a typhoon in the East China Sea!

"Typhoons always stop!" Qin Mengqi was afraid that he would say something difficult again, so he hurriedly read a sentence. But I heard Xiao Zhi sing again:

——Xiang returned to my arms. The four seas and nine states are auspicious, and all countries worship the imperial court. ——Offering the peach fruit in the sky, thousands of years of dedication to Daqi!

Qin Mengqi thought, all the good words were finished by Xiao Zhen, how to take it? - I had to twist and jump, and Fang sang loudly in his voice: The real one is: the humerus is good, the son of heaven is bright, and the filial piety is good! The old queen mother is blessed with the East Sea Sea, long live the life of the Nanshan pine——
