Li Xiu also stayed at Princess Pingyang last night, and he also got up early today, and even had the excitement to help his wife comb her hair, but he couldn't handle the complicated hairstyle of the Datang woman, and in the end, the more and more messy it became, and then Yuechan couldn't stand it, so she took the initiative to replace him, seeing Li Xiu's helpless appearance, Princess Pingyang showed a warm smile, and the husband who can help his wife with makeup in the whole Datang can't say no, but it's definitely not much.
Seeing that he couldn't help, Li Xiu had no choice but to go out of the room, ready to go to the garden of the princess's mansion to play Tai Chi, speaking of which, although their family likes to live outside the city, but the garden of the princess's mansion is very popular with Li Xiu, not only the scale, but also because of the proximity to the Qujiang Pond, the garden also attracts river water from the Qujiang Pond, and builds a water garden, which has the elegance of the southern garden of later generations, and the majesty of the Tang Dynasty architecture, but unfortunately this garden can't be moved, otherwise Li Xiu really wants to move the whole garden to his home outside the city.
But just as Li Xiu walked to the gate of the garden, he suddenly saw Qi Niang and Ha'er sneakily coming back from outside, which made Li Xiu can't help but say: "You two girls won't play all night again, why did you come back so late?" ”
Hearing Li Xiu's voice, Qi Niang and Ha Er were all startled, but Qi Niang reacted quickly, and immediately ran up and coquettishly said: "Big brother, yesterday was the last day of the Shangyuan Festival, and I should play with Sister Ha Er for a while, and I also prepared a gift for you!" ”
"Gifts? You girl can even think of preparing a gift for me? Li Xiu couldn't help but look at Qi Niang in surprise when he heard this, since this girl entered the rebellious period, she hadn't been so intimate for a long time.
"Big brother, what are you talking about, shouldn't my sister give my brother a gift?" At this time, Qi Niang asked with innocent eyes, with an expression of being wronged by Li Xiu.
"This ......" Li Xiu couldn't help but regret a little when he saw this, and hurriedly apologized at the moment, "Okay, it's the eldest brother who said the wrong thing, where is your gift, let the eldest brother see what kind of gift you gave?" ”
"Hehe, I've already put the gift in your study, you'll know when you take a look, you must take a closer look!" Qi Niang suddenly smiled mischievously, and after speaking, she ran back to the yard where she lived with Hate.
Seeing Qi Niang's face change so quickly, Li Xiu also felt a little strange, especially when he left just now, he didn't seem to dare to look at his eyes, as if he was a little weak-hearted, which made Li Xiu even more suspicious.
At that moment, Li Xiu went straight to the study in the house, but after entering the room, he looked around and didn't find any gifts, which made him a little strange, and even thought that Qi Niang was not playing himself, but thinking about it, although Qi Niang was a little rebellious, she shouldn't lie to herself, not to mention that she helped them write poems yesterday?
Thinking of this, Li Xiu carefully searched the study again, and finally found that there were some more things on the desk in the study, to be exact, there was an extra stack of thick paper, and in the study, the most was paper and pen, no wonder he didn't pay attention to the extra stack of paper on the bookcase at first.
"What the hell is this girl doing?" At that moment, Li Xiu also came to the desk with a puzzled face, and then picked up the stack of paper on the table and looked at it, but the result was even more confused, because the paper turned out to be a poem, which looked gorgeous, but compared with those classic ancient poems that have been handed down to later generations, what do you feel like? And at the end of the poem, there is also a sentence "Student Chen Meng worships", which makes Li Xiu even more confused, he doesn't seem to know this Chen Meng at all?
At the moment, Li Xiu flipped it down one by one, and found that the paper below was either a poem, a fu, or a commentary, but with his ancient literary literacy, it was very difficult to watch, especially in some articles, he even liked to quote scriptures, so that the articles were extremely obscure, Li Xiu didn't even bother to read them, and he also found that almost every poem or article has a different author, and these authors all call themselves students, which makes people really scratch their heads?
Li Xiu only looked at the first dozen or so, and then he didn't bother to look at it again, although he didn't know where these things came from, but they must be related to Qi Niang, and what was even more annoying was that this girl even lied to herself that these were gifts, which also made Li Xiu very annoyed, and immediately took these things to the inner house to prepare to settle accounts with Qi Niang!
When Li Xiu found Qi Niang, it turned out that this girl didn't get out of the quilt, but he still angrily stepped forward and pulled open the quilt, exposing Qi Niang's little brain and asked, "Qi Niang, this is the gift you gave me?" ”
Qi Niang originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, but when she heard the eldest brother's tone was not good, she opened her eyes, and then smiled facelessly and said, "Yes, big brother, do you like it?" ”
"What do you like, tell me what these things are?" Li Xiu angrily stretched out his hand and flicked Qi Niang's little brain, this girl is really becoming more and more lawless.
"Oops~, big brother, you're so annoying, I'm not a child anymore!" Qi Niang rubbed her head very dissatisfied, but seeing that Li Xiu's expression was not good, she finally told the origin of these things honestly.
It turned out that Qi Niang and Hate Er participated in the Shangyuan Poetry Meeting yesterday, but in the end they leaked their mouths, and the scholars who participated in the poetry meeting were all shrewd, and soon found out her identity from Qi Niang's mouth.
When these scholars learned that Qi Niang was Li Xiu's own sister, they were immediately ecstatic, and some people immediately took out their proud works and sent them to Qi Niang, and some of them didn't have time to go back to get them, so they simply wrote out their old works on the spot and gave them to Qi Niang, asking her to transfer them to Li Xiu on their behalf, hoping to get Li Xiu's recommendation, so there was such a thick stack of things.
"You...... You girl is really reckless, how can you casually take those scholars' papers? Li Xiu heard Qi Niang's story, and then remembered that there was another imperial examination this year, these must be the scholars' papers, which also made him helpless, he never liked to participate in these things, and he didn't pay attention to someone who gave him a roll before, but he didn't expect Qi Niang to receive so many at once.
"Big brother, people just give you a roll, if you like it, recommend it, if you don't like to throw it away, just don't care, anyway, they don't just give you a roll!" Qi Niang said eloquently at this time, but when it came to the end, she suddenly found a Tao from the stack of scrolls, "Forget about the others, but you have to help this person, big brother!" ”
When Li Xiu heard that Qi Niang dared to make a request, he couldn't help but glance at her at the moment, but when his gaze swept over the names on this scroll, he couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
