Chapter 54: The Scholar
Unconsciously, when I checked the calendar, Chang'an was very hot, but it was also a comparison between Helong and the northern plateau, Xue Chongxun felt that the climate at this time was bearable, because sometimes if you want to go to the court meeting or enter the palace to see Princess Taiping, you must dress neatly, and the robe can still be worn. The doctor did not wear half-sleeved shorts, if that would be called untidy and extremely rude, no matter how hot the weather was on a formal occasion, it would be necessary to have two pieces, but fortunately the silk material in summer was light and thin, in short, it could survive in the room or in a shady place.
Naturally, it is still the most comfortable at home, and the ice cubes stored in the winter cellar are now in use, and getting a large piece to put in a room with less space can be of great use. You can also add ice cubes to sour plum soup and wine for a cold drink.
But Xue Chongxun can't stay at home all day, at least he has to go to the pro-kingdom every day to sit and meet guests. The weather is continuous and sunny, and he only occasionally goes to the house of important ministers, such as people holding birthday banquets, red and white affairs, etc., and it is always not good not to go to socialize.
On this day, Xue Chongxun got up and found that it was a sunny day, with white clouds floating in the blue sky, and he felt that the air was hot early in the morning. He suddenly felt lazy and didn't want to move, probably because his body belonged to the relationship of a hot body, he was easy to sweat, and he would feel damp when he moved slightly. But he thought that the envoy of the Tubo people had arrived in Chang'an yesterday, and he might have come to give gifts, so it would be better to meet him in person, after all, the Tubo side has always been the focus of border defense, and now the understanding of the imperial court has not changed much, and it is still vigilant about the direction of Helong. As for physical activities such as martial arts, he has long since stopped doing it, and he can sit still every day and never walk around.
Now when foreign envoys and magistrates come to Chang'an, they want to give gifts, in addition to the tribute to the emperor, the gifts of Princess Taiping and the Jin palace are indispensable. This is a kind of recognition of power by people who do things, when Li Dan was in power in the past, Princess Taiping had this honor, and now Xue Chongxun is too.
Xue Chongxun packed up and took a group of slaves out of the house, and as soon as he rode into the gate of the kingdom, he saw a person standing in the middle of the road blocking his way. Xue Chongxun was stunned for a moment, because he had long been accustomed to people giving way everywhere he went, whether it was in his own mansion and government office or on the street, it was like this, it was difficult for anyone to dare to compete with him. However, he soon got to know the person, it turned out to be Bai Wuchang, and her dress made Xue Chongxun not recognize it at first glance.
I saw her wearing a hat and a lapel robe, this kind of dress is sometimes worn by Yuwen Ji, which is a small man's outfit. Xue Chongxun was surprised: "What are you doing here?" ”
Bai Qimei said seriously: "Last time you promised me to be your long-term scholar, look, my clothes are ready, how about it?" ”
Xue Chongxun rode his horse and walked around, and Bai Qimei said angrily: "What do you mean by this? ”
"I still have business today, and I'll listen to your nonsense when I go back in the evening." Xue Chongxun said.
Bai Qimei chased after her: "Who said I was messing around?" I originally wanted you to be an official and bring those bandits to justice one by one......"
Xue Chongxun said: "Aren't you? ”
Bai Qimei said aggrievedly: "I know that you don't want to give an official position, think about starting with Chang Sui first, I will always do it if I polish the ink and copy it, right?" When I learn the tricks of being an official, it's not too late to make me a minister or something. ”
"It's not a question of whether you can do it, what secretary of state have you seen who is a woman? It's basic common sense! Well, you can seal your wife or the female official in the palace, and you are also an official. Xue Chongxun looked at Bai Qimei, she was dressed as a man and was the same as Yuwen Ji, she could tell at a glance that she was a woman, and the most obvious feature was that her chest was propped up...... Xue Chongxun glanced at it in a daze, and said in his heart that Bai Qimei's breasts were naturally strong, and it was no wonder that she could hold up the robe, if it wasn't deliberately restrained, I am afraid it would be difficult to cover it up. So his attitude of ignoring the reason just now also changed a little, and said with a smile: "Which scholar you see dressed like this, it is not a scholar, it is a doctor." ”
Bai Qimei didn't follow, pestered him all the way to Fengmanlou, and kept saying that Xue Chongxun had promised her before. Xue Chongxun was stunned and didn't remember when he agreed.
The two came to the study one after the other, and Bai Qimei finally couldn't help but say: "People still have to spend money to buy a scholar, and I don't want to post you yet...... In this way, there is a reward. ”
Xue Chongxun didn't think much about it, and asked casually, "What...... What rewards? ”
"Giggle...... Bai Qimei suddenly leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, making Xue Chongxun sit there in a daze, and his face couldn't help but blush a little when he was laughed.
At this time, Xue Chongxun's heart was itchy and scratchy, looking at her white and innocent girl's face, as well as her reverie-inducing figure, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, got up and walked to the door and gently closed the door.
Bai Qimei had long developed the habit of being vigilant because of her special experience, and immediately noticed his quiet behavior, so she suppressed her laughter, looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you want to do?" ”
Xue Chongxun said cheekily: "What do you say? ”
"What a disciple, good or bad." Bai Qimei said angrily, as if she was coquettish, but she immediately said in the same tone, "You can't mess around, let alone force me, otherwise it's not worth hurting you by mistake, how precious the prince's life is, the beauties in the world are waiting for you to enjoy it; And I'm just a bandit. Which is more important? You tell me? ”
"It's still ......thorny," Xue Chongxun was stunned, and said cheekily, "I've touched everything on your body, is there anything you can't do, why?" ”
Bai Qimei raised her mouth and said, "Hmph, I just saw that you are still pretending to be high outside, and you are going to bully a weak woman at this time." ”
Xue Chongxun said: "Are you still a weak woman? Just now I threatened this king, don't you want to take five steps in blood, and you're not afraid of me? ”
Bai Qimei pressed her upright chest and said pitifully: "I'm so scared! But if you close the door yourself and want to force others to do bad things, if you don't force me, how can I be willing to harm you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me stay with you, would you? Her expression is really pitiful, but it's not really so pitiful, it's not clear, but she looks like she's done enough, as if she is about to shed tears of sadness, and like an amorous woman who has encountered a thin lover, Rao is Xue Chongxun's hard-hearted heart and also understands her, and she is also unconsciously affected.
She said "sadly": "I knew that you were a bad person, so I thought about taking other people's bodies, and then abandoned ...... when I had enough."
Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "I would never do that kind of thing!" ”
Unexpectedly, her expression changed suddenly, and she immediately laughed out loud: "Teasing you!" Well, when you're telling the truth...... What's not available is the best, don't you? ”
Xue Chongxun looked at her angrily, and said in his heart: It's a waste of talent not to be an actor. He was tricked for a while, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't be angry with a girl like her, after all, he was an acquaintance who had known him for a long time, so he had to sigh: "I want to see the foreign envoy in a while, and it won't be difficult for you today, so be it." ”
Bai Qimei smiled and said, "Don't reward it?" ”
Xue Chongxun just turned around the group once, but he didn't do anything, he didn't want to be fooled again, so he said angrily: "Don't!" ”
"Oh, I wanted you to take advantage of it, but I don't want to." She sighed faintly, "Think about it, get along day and night, there is always a chance to ...... what you really want."
Cheap, what cheap? Xue Chongxun's mind reflexively conjured up all kinds of beautiful scenes. He was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "...... What is it? ”
Bai Qimei squeezed her eyes: "Don't tell you, didn't you say that you have something serious, and what do you care about others?" ”
Xue Chongxun said: "In fact, the position of a scribe is usually very boring, you can't talk casually next to you, and you have to act at the opportunity." Others do this because they want to support their families, and it is better to have a position than the common people who farm the land or the pawns of the peddlers, if they can do nothing serious like you, they just have to be idle and have no worries about food and clothing, I guess everyone is not willing to do it. ”
"Who says I'm idle? I helped you last time, but I really forgot how much you are done. ”
Xue Chongxun said: "If you really want to do something legal and serious, I won't stop you, but you must maintain enough respect in front of people, otherwise it is a very strict thing for me to lose my authority in front of my subordinates." The sages then warned the world: Waste is good, and destruction is easy. ”
Bai Qimei smiled: "You mean to promise me?" ”
Xue Chongxun acquiesced.
Bai Qimei grabbed his arm and said happily: "You should be happy, don't cry with a sad face." I heard that those high-ranking children have scholars with them when they study, because there are no women, they usually use scholars to do that kind of thing, how pitiful. ”
Xue Chongxun: "......"
After a while, he asked impatiently, "What reward do you give me?" ”
Bai Qimei's face turned red, and she lowered her head and whispered, "What do you want?" ”
"Whatever?" Xue Chongxun said calmly, but a pair of eyes wished to be able to see through the clothes on her body. Bai Qimei stood on her toes and whispered in his ear: "Only that thing can't, I haven't thought about it yet, the rest is up to you, what do you want?" ”
Xue Chongxun felt that there was no danger, so he pressed her chest, and the soft ball in her hand, although it was separated by clothes, it felt very good, not at all like the hard steel wire that would be grabbed in modern times.
The girl in front of her was lively and clever, with a unique taste, and a feeling that other women did not have, at least Xue Chongxun was now panicked by her. Bai Qimei looked down and saw that his robe had been propped up, like a small tent. Xue Chongxun said: "It's like this early in the morning, you can't do anything, you have to help me." ”
"With what?" Bai Qimei asked softly. G
