After all, Qin Lei left Bao'en Temple alone. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yunshang also has to take care of Guiguzi's resources to help the victims, and she has to go back and forth between the north and the south frequently, so it is impossible to go back with Qin Lei, but she promised that after the snow falls in winter, she will go to the hot spring villa to treat Princess Yongfu, and naturally she can also accompany Qin Lei to live for a while. Because he didn't have much regret, he sent a small team of black-clothed guards to accompany him, and told Shen Qi, who led the team, the contact codes of several spy departments, and told him to protect Miss Qiao's safety.

And Le Buyi seems to have some things to deal with, maybe the meeting between the two today was accidental, so he didn't follow Qin Lei either.

"Buyi, Buyi......" On the carriage heading to the Hot Spring Villa, Qin Lei repeated the name. This made Xu Tian, who was accompanying him, have some thoughts, he was a guy who couldn't hide his words, so he asked in a muffled voice: "Lord Wang, even Mr. Guantao, I haven't seen you treat him like that." ”

Qin Lei leaned back on the bench, but did not answer Xu Tian's question, but smiled: "Xiao Tian, I have expectations for you, so you have to look and think more, and it will be of great use in the future......

Xu Tiannai was promoted by Qin Lei to the deputy commander of the black-clothed guard because of his outstanding performance in previous operations in the south, and he was also the leader of the scout team, so he entered the inner circle of the palace, because he had never heard of the 'great use' that was overused by Qin Lei before. Hearing this, he was really excited, and he was sitting in danger waiting for the prince's teachings.

Hearing Qin Lei smile faintly: "You also have a garden at home, you should know that each kind of melon and vegetable has its own habits." For example, cucumber loofah likes to climb to a high place, and it can only grow happily on the shelf; But taro and yam have to be buried in the soil and buried tightly. As for radishes, leeks, cabbage, etc., the requirements for the season, soil, and sunshine are also different. A small vegetable garden still needs to be categorized and treated differently, not to mention more complex people. ”

Saying that, he sat up and said softly: "I'll give you three examples, one is Tie Ying and Lone's first guard chief, he was framed by a traitor, and he accompanied King Gu in Shangjing for five or six years. If Lone let him stay in the mansion and still be his chief guard, he would definitely not say a word and be loyal to his duties, even better than Shi Dare to do. But then he will not be happy, and he will not be able to exert his maximum energy. In other words, it's the person who wastes it. ”

Xu Tian nodded vigorously, and quietly listened to Qin Lei continue: "And then there is the Pavilion Tao you mentioned, he is also an extremely proud person, so he also wasted more than ten years in the Qi Kingdom, and put the best youth time into it. Now that he has a chance to come back, he cherishes it incomparably, and he also has the idea of giving a resounding slap in the face to the adults of Qi who don't want to see him, so he put away his pride, smoothed the edges and corners, and willingly served under the lonely command, never showing his specialness. ”

Xu Tian agreed: "Mr. Guantao is indeed a world of difference from when he first met him in Qi State, I remember that at that time, he always looked at people with white eyes, and when he opened his mouth, he was about to laugh and scold, but now he is much more peaceful." Speaking curiously, he asked, "Will this Mr. Le be the same?" ”

Qin Lei shook his head and said with a smile: "Le Xianggu is a person who is arrogant and natural, and has the style of Tao Qian, and he will not bend his waist for five buckets of rice." He said with a smile: "This herringbone cloth cloth is to tell King Gu that he is not in the court, just to help." This kind of person is the virtue of the bright moon and pine trees, and the high-class virtue of Qingquan Stone, so the lonely king can't give him high-ranking officials and concubines, and he can only give respect. I also added a sentence in my heart, it is really a benefit and no expense.

Xu Tian knew that the prince was teaching him how to control his subordinates, so he was solemnly taught: "My subordinates are dull, thank you for your guidance." Qin Lei nodded, said a few words of encouragement, and then curled up in the middle bench and stopped talking. Xu Tian saw that the prince was tired, so he breathed lightly and tried not to make a sound.

The carriage left the middle capital and traveled southwest for another hour, when the black-clothed guard outside knocked on the door and got on the carriage to report: "Prince Jia is asking to see him on the side of the road." Qin Lei moved down and chuckled at Xu Tian: "This old boy must have been picked up by his father." ”

Sure enough, Qin Xuanyu, who looked tired, cried out bitterly when he saw Qin Lei: "Your Highness, my old man knows that you are passing by here, and he has asked me to wait here since yesterday. ”

Qin Lei laughed dryly a few times, and said apologetically: "The mundane affairs in Beijing are entangled in the first step, so that Yongfu and the others take the first step, and let the imperial uncle wait for a long time, which is a sin." Although Qin Xuanyu was full of grievances, he couldn't do anything about Qin Lei, and after a few more complaints, he led Qin Lei down the official road and along a country road to Prince Jia's manor.

At this time, it was late autumn, the sky and the earth were depressed, the trees were bare, the fields had harvested autumn grain, the winter wheat had not yet sprouted, and the yellow land was bare, without a trace of beauty. The mansion of the prince with the highest rank in Great Qin is located in this desolate world.

Prince Jia had already received the notice and personally went to the door to greet Qin Lei, who had not seen him for nearly a year, and the old prince was obviously much older, and his originally straight waist was slightly rickety. Qin Lei hurriedly helped the old prince, and the two entered the manor with a smile.

It was already noon, and the banquet was set up in the middle of the house, and the king of Longwei County was invited to dinner, accompanied by Prince Jia's nephews. Everyone is a close relative who breaks bones and tendons, a few glasses of wine in the stomach, and then the uncle and uncle call it, it is even more warm and close, and the guests and hosts are naturally happy.

After eating, Prince Jia invited Qin Lei to take a nap first, Qin Lei chatted with Yunshang Qingqing and me last night, although he had never really been a **, but he didn't sleep all night, and his spirit was indeed a little poor, so he followed the kindness of the old man and followed Qin Xuanyu to the guest room to rest.

He didn't wake up until the sun was in the west, and his spirit was really good, and he washed and changed his clothes under the service of the palace maid in the house, and then followed Qin Xuanyu, who had been waiting for a long time, to the study.

The two of them saw Prince Jia splashing ink at the door, so they went in lightly and stood aside and watched with bated breath. The old prince's pen is a freehand danqing, painting a luffa on the shelf: on the loofah shelf supported by two or three thin bamboo poles, under seven or eight dark green leaves, there are four or five fat loofahs, and there are small yellow flowers blooming on the tail of the melon.

When the two of them came in, the loofah picture had basically taken shape, and the old prince was holding a thin lake pen and sketching on the paper seemingly at random, and the lines drawn were dancing and chaotic. After a while, Prince Jia breathed a sigh of relief, put down the brush in his hand, and looked at those lines again, the slightly thicker ones became the vines of the loofah, and the thin ones became the tendrils of the loofah, which immediately made the originally somewhat monotonous picture vivid and plump.

Qin Lei let out a sound of admiration at the right time, and said with a smile: "The emperor is so Yaxing, good Danqing, and even more so artistic conception." ”

Prince Jia raised his head and beckoned Qin Lei to sit down, and said with a smile: "Your Highness has praised it falsely, it is just a graffiti work, and it should not be praised." He pointed to the blank space in the upper left corner of the painting and said, "There is still something missing here, how about asking His Highness to give me words?" ”

Qin Lei said in his heart, didn't you knock me? Hurriedly said: "Uncle said that he was joking, just my chicken feet are crazy, I really can't take it." ”

Prince Jia let out an 'oh' and said with a joking smile: "Does the prince look down on my old man?" Even Yan Xingxi, a calligrapher of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, saw it and said: 'The words are good, the poems are good, and the people are better.' ’”

Qin Xuanyu also smiled and said: "Yes, Your Highness, who doesn't know that Yan is the most picky, and it is easy not to praise people, His Highness's Mobao can be praised by him, and our entire Zhongdu City will have a light on their faces." "Dongqi is known as the state of etiquette, and poetry and books are passed on to the country; Nanchu has the beauty of Huazhang, and the rhetoric is unparalleled; In front of these two countries, the powerful Western Qin is a little inferior.

Qin Lei saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to step forward hard, lift a lake pen, and make a mistake when it was suspended in the air. What is the best thing to write? He is not afraid of bad handwriting, showing timidity, since worshipping Shiyun as a teacher, he has to follow her requirements every day Linliu Gongquan Yan Zhenqing's inscription, never slack off a day, plus he is already smart, diligent and diligent, simply write a few words can deal with the past, not to laugh and be generous.

But Qin Lei is also a person who has been immersed in the temple for a period of time, so he naturally doesn't think that Prince Jia is as simple as asking himself to inscribe a word, which is to start the next conversation and make a tune.

So the word can't be too flamboyant and high-profile, and it can't be too kitsch. After pondering for a while, he had an idea, but when he saw him concentrating and calming, lightly dipping in thick ink, hanging the pen on the blank space, and shaking his wrist chicly, seven large characters full of local flavor jumped on the paper.

"You need to know that melons and vegetables are half a year's grain!" The father and son read along with Qin Lei's pen at the same time. Look at the loofah picture again, it is really very appropriate and complements this inscription.

But the key is what is contained in the calligraphy and painting. It is said that painting at this time can not escape the trap of flowers, birds, insects, fish, landscapes and ladies. But Prince Jia wanted to paint a few big loofahs on withered bamboo in this bleak late autumn, not because the old man was greedy, but to test what Qin Lei could see from it?

If he can rejoice in the fruitful results and write some words of joy, it shows that he is an optimistic and cheerful person.

If he can see the harsh winter after this autumn and write some sentimental words, he is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace.

If he can see poetry, then it means ...... This prince's skull is broken, and he is talking nonsense......

But Qin Lei's answer was, 'You need to know about melons and vegetables for half a year', he not only saw the long midwinter and spring famine from behind this autumn fruit, but also further thought about how to deal with it. But it is much better than mere compassion.

Prince Jia whispered a few times, and clapped his hands and exclaimed: "This word makes people look down-to-earth, reassuring, and rest assured." The prince has not reached the weak crown, but he has read all the world's conditions and has a thousand years in his mind. What's even more rare is that there is no vanity and exaggeration of young people, and it is rare to be real! Saying that, he smiled with relief: "Sure enough, it is better to be a good poet and a good person, it is really the blessing of my Great Qin and the blessing of the royal family!" As he spoke, he commanded Qin Xuanyu in a loud voice: "Quickly send His Highness's ink treasure to be pasted, and the old man will hang it in the study." ”

Qin Xuanyu responded with a smile, picked up the painting, put it in the painting box, and left the study with the box, leaving the place for the two princes to speak.

Prince Jia took Qin Lei to the side hall for tea, and after sitting down, he looked at him carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more happy he became, and the stronger the smile on his face. Thanks to Qin Lei's considerable thickness of his skin, he was not ashamed of him. After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see the flowers, so the old man retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "The prince has seen a lot more than a year ago." ”

Qin Lei grinned, touched his chin and said, "No, look, at that time, his chin was like a peeled egg, but now it's good, it's a hairy little chicken." "That hairy chin does look like a freshly hatched one.

Prince Jia was amused by him, and laughed for a while, before he gasped: "Your Highness wants to make the old man laugh less, maybe he will laugh too much." Afraid that Qin Lei would misunderstand, he added: "Just smile and ......"

Qin Lei smiled and nodded, and then heard Prince Jia say with some surprise: "Your Highness is mature, and our generation is about to enter the earth." ”

Qin Lei hurriedly comforted him warmly: "Uncle should be old and strong, he will naturally prolong his life, don't say anything unlucky." ”

Prince Jia shook his head, looked at Qin Lei and said softly: "Life is rare for seventy years, the old man is already seventy and nine, and he is already content, as for when to see the first emperor, he doesn't care." As he spoke, his voice gradually deepened, but every word still clearly reached Qin Lei's ears: "The old man is a prince of Anle, it doesn't matter if he goes, but once one person is gone, the sky of our old Qin family will collapse." ”

Qin Lei was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Imperial grandmother? ”

Prince Jia nodded, and said in a deep voice: "My old sister-in-law has been the Dinghai Needle of our Qin family since she turned the tide seventeen years ago, and although she is now living in the deep palace, her influence has not diminished a little. ”

Qin Lei's face gradually became solemn, this was the third time in the past few days that he had heard others mention the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang. Once in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wen Yanbo said that he didn't believe anyone except the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang. The second time was in Bao'en Temple, Le Buyi said that he was not convinced by anyone except the Empress Dowager Wenzhuang. And this time, Prince Jia simply told Qin Lei that no one in the royal family could live without the old lady.

The old prince changed his words, and the old man sighed: "But my old sister-in-law is about to celebrate her birthday a year ago, although she is in good health, but when the old man enters the palace to ask for peace, he often tells me that he feels that the day is not over." ”

Qin Lei frowned and said: "The imperial grandmother has a good way of maintaining her health, and she can expect a long life of 100 years, but my uncle is too worried." Even if he agrees with Prince Jia's words, he must refute them, otherwise he will be unfilial.

Prince Jia smiled and said: "Even if the old sister-in-law can really live a long life, Your Highness can really bear to watch an old lady who is **ten still have to bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the royal family?" Said quietly: "Even if you are really forbearing, is it really reassuring?" ”

Qin Lei already knew what the old prince had invited him to do, nodded and said in a deep voice: "Uncle has something to teach, although it doesn't hurt to say it directly, the child just listens." ”

Prince Jia smiled: "Hehe, but the young man can't stand the old guy's verbosity. Okay, okay, then long story short. Let me ask you, do you have the courage to take over the burden of the old lady? After her old man, give us the dragon sons and grandsons, the descendants of the first emperor and the Miao to support a piece of heaven and earth? ”

Qin Lei's face changed uncertainly for a while, and then he asked softly and slowly, "Does Uncle think I am qualified?" The child feels that he is still too immature. Seeing that the old prince was still stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile, Qin Lei had no choice but to wave his hand and admit defeat: "Okay, I admit that I pretend to be tender, but your boss has to explain what resources you can give me, let me see if this is possible." It's not like you don't give anything, so let the child pick up this burden, right? ”

After speaking, he felt that his tone was a little disrespectful, and added: "The child has always felt that he is already very tired with his head on his shoulders, but he doesn't feel the burden anymore...... and said seriously: "The child still has to grow up." ”

The old man couldn't help but smile, and said with a smile: "What Your Highness said is very reasonable, people are already very tired if they have to take care of themselves. His face gradually said solemnly: "But you were born as a prince and enjoy the glory and wealth at the same time, but you can't shirk your burden." Then he said softly: "Don't worry if you can't do it yourself, we old guys will do our best to help you." Although we old princes are useless, few people listen to what we say. But the children of the family still dare not disobey. ”

Qin Lei looked up at Prince Jia, and asked faintly, "The Queen Mother and her old man sent you here again?" ”

Prince Jia's face froze, and he laughed dryly......
