"......

A cold wind blew violently, swaying with the branches and leaves, and the snow fell, blowing away the thick aroma of wine. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

"Scarlet cousin, your plum blossom wine is too fragrant! It is much more fragrant than the plum blossom wine, osmanthus wine, and rose wine that the main palace drank before. Han Xing couldn't help but stroke his palms and praise, his delicate face seemed to be glowing, and his expression was radiant.

"That's nature." Duanmu Fei tilted her chin triumphantly, "Cousin Hanxing, this plum blossom wine I brewed is not an ordinary plum blossom wine. You're in for a treat! ”

Seeing her cute appearance, Duanmu Guifei couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle.

At this time, the palace maid takes the celadon wine jug out of the hot water, then takes out the pre-scalded wine glass, and pours the wine from the pot into the wine glass.

With the clear sound of pouring wine, the rich aroma of wine became stronger, surrounding the warm pavilion for a long time.

Duanmu Fei held a warm wine glass, played with it gently, appreciated the white plum in the wine, and smelled the strange fragrance of the wine.

The wine she brewed looks like plum blossom wine, but it is more fragrant and fragrant than ordinary plum wine, and it is she who added honey, evening primrose and fragrant snow orchid to the wine according to an ancient book, which can make the wine taste warmer and suitable for the mouth; Second, when the wine is warmed, the aroma of the wine can overflow, and the fragrance can spread thousands of miles.

Duanmu Fei brought the wine glass to his lips and took a sip of the elixir. When she looked up, another breeze blew, blowing the hair on her sideburns, and her little face showed a look of confidence.

Han Xing beside her was delicate on weekdays, and when she drank the wine, she was a little heroic, and she drank all the wine in the cup in one breath, Ruyu's little face flushed with a faint flush, and blurted out praise:

"Good wine!"

The girl's delicate voice happened to overlap with a rich male voice, and everyone in the pavilion was stunned.

This male voice was too familiar to them, and without looking up, Duanmu Guifei and Hanxing could be sure of the identity of the person who came.

The four people in the pavilion all got up and went out of the pavilion to greet each other.

Seven or eight zhang away, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe took a small chamberlain around the west side of the rockery, and walked towards the direction of Nuan Pavilion with a bright smile on his handsome face.

As soon as the emperor finished dealing with state affairs, he came to the imperial garden to relax, enjoy the snow, and he was in a white plum forest in front of him, looking at a piece of plum and snow, and was making great poetry, but he smelled the cold wind and sent a burst of clear wine.

The aroma of this wine is very unique, light but not scattered, fragrant but not glamorous, mellow and elegant, just like a masked beauty dancing in the plum forest, quite a cold arrogance.

The gluttony in the emperor's heart was immediately aroused, and he wanted to taste what this wine tasted like, so he smelled it. The closer he got, the more seductive he found the aroma of the wine, as if a feather was gently stirring in his heart, causing a ripple......

The emperor couldn't help but swallow his saliva, his eyes shining.

"See the Emperor."

"See Father."

The four of them bowed their knees in unison to salute the emperor, and Duanmu Guifei, who was standing at the forefront, pressed the joy in her heart and radiated: The emperor is really here! This wine is truly amazing!

"Love the concubine is exempt." The emperor raised his hand and said with a smile, and he was a little surprised in his heart, it turned out that Duanmu Guifei took a few children to cook wine and enjoy the snow here.

The emperor affectionately took Duanmu Guifei into the warm pavilion together, and the three girls' families followed behind the two.

"Concubine Ai is really interested in appreciating plum blossoms, watching snow, and drinking here!" Looking at the stove and wine in the warm pavilion, the emperor took his robe and sat down.

"The emperor smiled, and the concubines were also in a hurry to drink." Duanmu Guifei smiled generously and brightly, her eyebrows and eyes flying.

Xu was because she had just drunk wine, Duanmu Guifei's bright cheeks were flushed like plums, and her eyes were sparkling, which was a little more charming and delicate than in the past.

The emperor's gaze lingered on the beautiful face of Duanmu Guifei for a moment, and then looked at the wine on the stone table......

The emperor's eyes were bright and scorching.

The palace maid knew about the taste, and immediately poured a glass of plum blossom wine for the emperor.

The emperor picked up the celadon wine glass with great interest, looked at its color, smelled its fragrance, and then took a tentative sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth were curled, and he took another sip, carefully tasting the wine in his mouth.

A small glass is just four or five sips.

After the emperor drank the contents of the cup, he still had a little unfinished thinking, and praised: "Good wine, it is really good wine!" It's even better than the plum blossom wine of the Imperial Palace! ”

This plum blossom wine tastes mellow, delicate, soft, clear, not strong or violent, with a long aftertaste, that is, the wine has entered the stomach at this moment, and there is a faint aroma of wine and plum fragrance lingering between this cup, which lingers for a long time, and makes people have an endless aftertaste.

He had never drunk such a special plum wine!

Duanmu Guifei smiled and pointed to Duanmu Fei, who was standing aside, and said, "Your Majesty, this wine is made by the four nieces of the concubines. ”

As she spoke, the palace maid consciously warmed up another pot of wine, and the aroma of the wine once again drifted away as the temperature of the wine rose......

The emperor's eyes looked at Duanmu Fei with interest, and his expression inevitably showed a hint of surprise, "Little girl, in addition to playing chess, you can also make wine?" "The voice seems to be saying, you girl knows a lot.

Duanmu Fei nodded solemnly: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have to learn a lot of things every day." ”

The emperor only thought that she was talking about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, female red cooking skills or something, and couldn't help laughing, and teased her casually: "Little girl, you are so busy, why do you have to come to the palace today to accompany your concubine and aunt?" ”

Duanmu smiled and blessed, and replied: "Back to the emperor, the courtiers are accompanying their grandmother to ask the queen mother for peace." ”

"The Queen Mother is lonely in the palace, so if you have nothing to do, you can go into the palace to see her." The Emperor laughed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Duanmu Qi said eagerly, "Grandmother is still accompanying the Queen Mother in Cining Palace, and the courtiers and the fourth sister came together to greet the concubine." ”

The emperor followed the sound and looked at Duanmu Qi on Duanmufei's right hand, as if he had just noticed her at this moment, and the bottom of his eyes was like a deep and invisible pool of water, and it seemed to flicker a little scrutiny and exploration...... with doubts.

There was silence for a moment, and the emperor played with the wine glass in his hand and asked casually: "Something happened to the Yang family now, you two little girls must know about it." What do you think of this marriage between the two families? ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up, he thought he was waiting for news from the Queen Mother, but he didn't expect the emperor to take the initiative to mention this matter, this is a good opportunity to cancel the marriage contract!

"Your Majesty," Duanmu Qiying Yifu, Zhengse said, "The courtiers think this Yang family is ......"

"Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en." Duanmu Qi's voice interrupted Duanmu Qi, and then smiled at the emperor obediently, "Your Majesty, my grandfather often said this to his courtiers at home. ”

The emperor was stunned, a little surprised, and then smiled in a good mood, and the hearty laughter echoed in the warm pavilion, as if even the surrounding chill had dispelled a lot.

The doubt in the emperor's eyes disappeared in an instant, Duanmufei was just a ten-year-old girl, like a blank piece of paper, so she would not be full of flattery like those ministers, since she said so, then it must be because Duanmuxian is usually cautious at home, and the children can be exposed to it.

Thinking about it, the emperor looked at the two little girls with a little more affection in his eyes, and asked, "Oh? And what else did your grandfather say? ”

Duanmu tilted his head, groaned for a while, and then his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palms with a smile and said, "The courtier remembered it, and the courtier still missed half a sentence." The whole sentence should be," she cleared her throat and said in Duanmuxian's tone, "The emperor cares about the world and serves the country and the people; The courtiers are concerned about the emperor and share the worries of the lord. As the saying goes, 'the heavens cover it for the king, and the earth holds it for the ministers'. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en. She deliberately dragged out her tone like a schoolboy, which made the emperor laugh again.

However, Duanmuqi on the side had a secret hatred in his heart, and under the half-drooping eyes, there were waves in his dark eyes.

If it weren't for the presence of the emperor and the concubine, she would almost pounce on her and ask Duanmu Fei why he deliberately harmed her...... It was obviously a great opportunity just now, as long as she knelt down and begged, with the emperor's respect for the queen mother and his love for the concubine, she would definitely agree to cancel the marriage!

Now it's been mixed up by Duanmufei!

Ends, wood, scarlet. Duanmuqi secretly read her name in her heart, and hatred churned, like a volcano about to erupt.

Duanmu Guifei quietly saw the hidden waves in the emperor's few words, and her mood fluctuated violently a few times, and she finally relaxed at this moment.

She has been with the emperor for more than ten years, knows the emperor best, and knows that the emperor has the intention of testing the Duanmu family. Fortunately, Duanmu Fei is a smart person, although he is young, he is very clever and can speak, which makes the emperor so happy.

But Han Xing didn't understand the wit inside at all, and said with a smile: "Father, you see that there is just a wine snack in this pavilion, why don't you let the imperial dining room serve some more snacks with wine, and Father, you can also drink and enjoy the snow with us!" ”

Han Xing has been favored by the emperor and the queen mother since he was a child, and there is no fear on the emperor's little face, only admiration, and he said coquettishly: "Father, sons, and ministers haven't seen their father for several days." ”

The little girl's voice was delicate, and her eyes were even more sincere, which made the emperor very useful, and smiled boldly: "Okay, I will drink with you." Hanxing, sit down too. ”

Duanmu Guifei was overjoyed, and hurriedly instructed the waiter to prepare side dishes.

The chamberlain hurriedly took the order and left, and at the same time, another pot of fragrant plum blossom wine was warmed, and the palace maid carefully poured wine for the emperor and others.

As Duanmu Xian said, the emperor's alcohol consumption was indeed average, and after drinking three glasses, a faint flush appeared on his cheeks.

The emperor was comfortable, raised his glass and said with a smile: "To enjoy the snow in winter, you still have to drink this plum blossom wine, which is a great thing in life." ”

"The emperor's words are wrong." Duanmu Fei shook his head disappreciatively, and said, "Actually, it is better to hide this plum blossom wine in an ice cellar and drink it in summer to cool off." The best thing to drink in winter is not plum wine, but bifang wine. As she spoke, she pursed her lips, as if she was salivating, and her cute appearance was like a greedy little milk cat.

The emperor looked at her expression and felt amused, and asked curiously: "Bifang wine?" I've never heard of this wine. ”

"Your Majesty, this Bifang wine is really a jade liquid!" Duanmufei's eyes were even brighter, like the stars shining brightly in the night sky, and he sighed with his palms.

The courtier's daughter also found a broken ancient book in a bookstore, which was written by a brewmaster hundreds of years ago, but was taken by the illiterate bookstore owner to put the bookshelf. The emperor has never heard of it, and it is normal. ”

"This Bifang wine is not only mellow and mellow, the taste is as clear as a spring, but also can benefit the blood and qi, remove the wind and dispel the cold, ward off evil spirits and prolong filth...... As the old saying goes: 'Wine is the length of a hundred medicines', like the emperor who works hard for government affairs every day, it is the most suitable to drink this kind of wine, which can eliminate love and anger, declare freedom, and prolong life. ”

Duanmu Fei said that he was very up, and he simply said that this Bifang wine was amazing.

The emperor didn't take it seriously, but listened to the anecdotes of the countryside, and asked with a smile: "Since this Bifang wine is so good, can you make it?" ”

"Of course!" The corners of Duanmu's lips were slightly raised, full of confidence, looking at the tail to the sky, looking like he could do anything.

Seeing this, the smile on the emperor's face deepened, and while drinking the intoxicating plum blossom wine, he said with a smile: "Little girl, then try to brew a jar for me." It's brewed, and I'm rewarded. The emperor was a little joking in his words, just teasing the little girl.

"The courtiers obey!" Duanmu Fei solemnly bent his knees to receive the order, and talked eloquently, "It doesn't take long to brew this 'Bifang wine', that is, the materials are complicated, among which there is a taste called Zhi Xuecao is the most rare, originally missing this taste, even if the courtiers will brew this wine, it can't be brewed, fortunately, two days ago, my grandfather sent a New Year's gift from Minzhou, there was a ......"

Duanmu smiled happily, and said happily: "This is the first time that the courtiers have received New Year's gifts from their grandfather and grandmother since they came to the capital. ”

Hearing Duanmufei mention her maternal grandfather, the emperor remembered that the Li family in Minzhou was Duanmufei's foreign family.

He was puzzled, frowned, and said, "If I remember correctly, you should have been in the capital for almost four years." How could it be the first time to receive the Li family's New Year's gift in the capital? ”

Duanmu was stunned, his eyes wandered for a moment, then he blinked widely, and smiled casually: "Xu is courtier and sister have been keeping filial piety for the past few years......

The emperor looked Duanmu Fei up and down, with a deep groan in his eyes, and felt that this matter was very suspicious.

Although the emperor suppressed the Li family's illegal sale of military rations last time, this incident always planted a thorn in his heart, and from time to time he would pop up and stab him twice.

Two orphan daughters with no father and no mother are in the capital, and the Li family, as a foreigner, has not given New Year's gifts for several years, and they have not paid attention to them, which is really suspicious!

In the past, the emperor would probably only laugh when he heard this.

He is a dignified king of a country, how can he have so much energy to care about the trivial matter of whether his subordinates give gifts or not, but now, because of the thorn in his heart, even a small doubt can continue to expand in his heart...... It made him feel a little less comfortable.

The emperor narrowed his shrewd and deep eyes, he had to send someone to secretly investigate the Li family again...... Let's see if there is anything unknown or even ulterior in the Li family.

If he doesn't check it out clearly, he really can't rest assured.

The emperor had a plan in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said jokingly: "Little girl, you brew well, I can count on you." ”

Duanmu Fei smiled slightly, as if relieved, smiled even sweeter, and nodded straight and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." The gentleman said that it was difficult to chase the horse, and the courtiers went to make wine when they returned home today, and when the brewing was done, they were sent to the concubine Niangniang, so that the emperor could try it. ”

The emperor happily agreed: "Okay, that's it." ”

The corners of Duanmu Guifei's lips curled higher and higher, and her eyes became softer and softer. This fourth niece is really sensible, although she is in the next room from herself, she is an aunt and nephew after all, and she always has her aunt in her heart.

"Your Majesty," Duanmu Guifei showed a generous smile on her face, and said tentatively, "The concubine still has half a jar of plum blossom wine, it is rare for the emperor to like it, and the concubine will order someone to send it to the emperor first." The New Year is approaching, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and he can also drink a glass of wine in his leisure time to get rid of fatigue. ”

The emperor looked at Duanmu Guifei's bright face, his heart moved, waved his hand, and said, "The wine is placed at your place, and I will go to your place for dinner at night." ”

Since the emperor is going to Zhongcui Palace for dinner, then there is a sense of staying overnight. Duanmu Guifei was even more happy in her heart, and responded with a smile: "Then the concubine will let the imperial dining room prepare a few more dishes of the emperor's favorite food......"

"Mother, where is the minister?" Han Xing blinked and asked coquettishly.

"I can't help you eat a bite to eat." The Emperor burst into laughter again.

The pavilion was harmonious, and at this moment, the emperor, the concubine and the four princesses were like the most ordinary and ordinary family, smiling and smiling.

Duanmuqi also stopped talking, and drank the contents of the cup happily, only Duanmuqi seemed to purse his lips and smile, but his eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he never answered.

Her heart is even colder, this is probably the cold of people walking tea, and the world is cold.

She now has a marriage contract with those people, which means that she has no future, so even Aunt Guifei didn't hurt herself before.

But Duanmufei, a fool, became prosperous step by step, and got the blue eyes of her grandfather, and even the emperor, concubine and Hanxing looked at her differently......

Why?!

Duanmuqi secretly clenched his fists, as if a fierce beast was roaring and shouting in his heart.

Gradually, Duanmuqi only felt that there seemed to be an invisible barrier around her that separated her from the others around her, and the bursts of laughter and laughter in the pavilion seemed to be another world, and she was forgotten like an abandoned child......

She stood in place in a daze, and she didn't know how long it took, when a palace maid's voice seemed to come from far and near: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine, the queen mother invited the two Duanmu girls to go to Cining Palace to accompany her to dinner." ”

Since Empress Dowager He later called people, the emperor did not keep them anymore, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Qi both bowed their knees and retreated, and followed the palace maid all the way west towards Cining Palace.

All the way was silent, Duanmu Qi was still resentful of Duanmu talking nonsense and ruining her good deeds, and she didn't pay attention to her anymore, including when she was in Cining Palace, she only innocently coaxed Empress Dowager He.

After lunch, He took his two granddaughters to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager He and returned to Shangshu Mansion in a carriage.

At this time, it was only Shen Shi, and the sky was still bright.

Duanmujun had been waiting for Duanmufei in the Zhanqing courtyard for a long time, and as soon as she came back, she asked the maid to serve fragrant and hot chicken noodles.

"Zhenzhen, eat a bowl of noodles and fill your stomach." Duanmujun looked at his sister distressedly, thinking that she must not have eaten a good meal in the palace.

This bowl of shredded chicken noodles with shiitake mushrooms is boiled in chicken broth that has been simmering on the stove for most of the day, and the chicken broth has been boiled over low heat to a rich and attractive milky white, and then added to the strong handmade egg noodles, accompanied by tender wisps of shredded chicken, shiitake mushrooms and sauerkraut, the natural aroma of the ingredients mixed with an indescribable sour taste comes to the nose, making people salivate.

Duanmu Fei originally felt that he was not hungry, but looking at this bowl of noodle soup, he suddenly felt hungry, and he ate most of the bowl with a snort.

After she rinsed her mouth and drank half a cup of tea to consume her food, she happily talked to Duanmujun about what she had seen and heard about entering the palace this time, including the emperor and wine.

Hearing that the emperor asked his sister to make what Bifang wine, Duanmu Jun frowned slightly, feeling that his sister had to go to school on weekdays, go to her grandfather to do her homework, practice calligraphy and piano, and occasionally help herself run the house, which was already busy enough, and now she had to make wine for the emperor, which was too hard.

However, looking at Duanmu Fei's enthusiastic appearance, Duanmu Jun would not pour cold water on his sister, and quietly took the initiative to propose: "Zhen Zhen, what kind of food does this Bifang wine need to prepare?" You make a list, and I'll have someone prepare. ”

Duanmu Jun looked at his sister with a smile, thinking that he had been busy recently, and some things might not be taken care of, so he had to remember to mention Mama Zhang, don't be tired of her sister.

"Thank you, sister." Duanmu smiled brightly, "When my wine is ready, give my sister the first wine to taste." My sister has worked hard these days, drink some Bifang wine and blood to benefit qi, and get rid of the wind and cold. ”

Bi Chan salivated on the side and said to Duanmu Fei: "Girl, can you also reward the slave maid...... No, three cups? ”

"You little drunkard!" The pothos was a little amused, pointing to her nose and laughing.

The maids laughed, and Duanmufei waved his hand generously: "Don't worry, everyone in this courtyard has a share!" ”

"Quack!"

The familiar sound of birds came from the direction of Duobaoge, and Duanmu followed the sound to look, Xiaoba stopped at the top of Duobao Pavilion at some point, shaking his wings and looking down at them.

The corners of Duanmu's eyes twitched, and he added: "Xiaoba, you don't have a share!" ”

This little starling, it's really greedy, last time I stole the plum blossom wine she brewed, and it was not enough to drink, and after being drunk, she screamed for a night, disturbing the people in the yard and not sleeping well.

After that, Duanmu Fei let go and asked the people in the courtyard to take care of the wine, including cooking wine.

"Quack?" Hachi tilted his little head suspiciously, as if asking, why?

Duanmujun looked at his sister's appearance of training birds, and couldn't help laughing, and the maids also covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, laughing happily.

With the return of Duanmufei, the entire Zhanqing Courtyard poured into a wave of vitality, and laughter continued.

Duanmufei rested in the inner room for an afternoon, and it wasn't until Duanmuxian came back at dusk that she washed up again and went to Duanmuxian's outer study as always.

In the quiet study, there was only Duanmu Xian.

It was overcast outside, and there was a light snow in the sky, and the maid had already lit the palace lamp in the house.

The orange-yellow light illuminated Duanmu Xian's elegant face more and more softly, and his face was full of red light, as if he was several years younger all of a sudden.

Obviously, Duanmu Xian was in a good mood.

"Four girls, how about going to the palace today?" Duanmu Xian asked with a smile on his face, gossiping with Duanmu Fei.

In the afternoon, Duanmuxian was summoned by the emperor to go to the imperial study, the emperor was in a good mood, praised him for his good life, praised him for his prudent words and deeds, praised the holy will, and shared worries for the Lord, and then rewarded him with the four treasures of the study tea and tea set.

Duanmu was stunned when he was praised, I don't know why, but later the concubine sent an inner servant to wait for him at the gate of the palace, and quietly told him what happened in the imperial garden today, and he knew the ins and outs.

Thinking back to what the waiter said, Duanmu Xian was full of emotion in his heart, and he loved Duanmu Fei more and more.

Although his fourth granddaughter is young, she is smart, clever and well-behaved, and she is outstanding in learning, arithmetic, Go, calligraphy and painting, and everything can make the entire capital bow down for it, and what is even more rare is that her "cleverness" can help the family......

It is no wonder that a hairpin family like the Chu family pays so much attention to the upbringing of the daughters in the family, and this girl is not only a marriage, but also can reflect the upbringing and bearing of a family in subtleties.

It's just that he understood it too late, Sister Qi and Sister Yuan in the second and third rooms have been raised crookedly, and now they can only start with the concubines in the fourth and fifth rooms to see if there is any talent to create.

Fortunately, the girls are still young, not in a hurry, and slowly look at the character, this bad character and no self-knowledge is like Xiao He's to bring trouble to the family!

Duanmu Xianzheng was thinking absentmindedly, and heard Duanmu scarlet crisply throw out an astonishing sentence: "If the granddaughter is not mistaken, the grandmother may be planning to let the granddaughter replace the second sister's marriage with the third son of Yang." ”

Hearing this, Duanmu Xian's pupils shrank, and it was difficult to hide his surprise, and after thinking about it again, he suddenly realized that his eyes were slightly condensed.

The emperor's decree on marriage has been issued, and the relationship between Duanmuqi and Yang Xuyao is naturally a sure thing in the eyes of uninformed outsiders, so Duanmuxian didn't think about Duanmufei before.

At this moment, being reminded by Duanmu Fei, he also felt that He's behavior was very strange.

He is the sister of the Empress Dowager He, and she will go to the Empress Dowager to say goodbye to the Empress Dowager during the New Year's holidays on weekdays, and often bring Duanmuqi and Duanmuyuan together, but it is the first time to bring Duanmufei.

Thinking about Yang Xi's punishment by the emperor, and Duanmuqi's kneeling and illness two days ago, Duanmuxian thought through the key in an instant.

Duanmuqi was not satisfied with this family matter, so he started crying, making trouble and hanging himself, but He was soft-hearted after all, so he hit Duanmu Fei's head with a bad idea. Although Duanmu Fei said euphemistically that it was "possible", Duanmu Xian already felt that this matter was inseparable, and with He's temperament, this was probably what she planned in her heart.

Thinking about it, Duanmu Xian's heart sank little by little, and a storm of wind and anger instantly set off at the bottom of his eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was no longer there.

He was so disappointed in He's!

Obviously, he had already made it so clear to the He family that this marriage could not be changed, and the He family dared to make ghosts behind his back, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

Duanmu Xian's expression crossed a trace of coldness.

What's even more odious is that she dared to fight Duanmufei's idea!

Duanmu Fei seemed to be unconscious, and continued to add with a smile: "Grandfather, I thought that grandmother and the queen mother should not really want their granddaughter to marry, Xu is the queen mother and grandmother know that the marriage with the Yang family will not be successful, and the emperor will take back his life in a few years, because the granddaughter is younger than the second sister, she can delay it for a few more years, so I want the granddaughter to take it first." ”

Duanmuxian looked Duanmuxian up and down, and saw that she was smiling slightly from beginning to end, very comfortable, without a trace of panic, and her heart calmed down.

"Four girls," Duanmuxian asked with interest as he looked at her, "what do you think?" ”

Of course, Duanmu Fei would not be polite to Duanmu Xian at this time, and said bluntly: "Grandfather, although the mutton is delicious, I only love to eat it, and I should not make a scapegoat." ”

"Four girls, you and your second sister are sisters." Duanmu Xian's tone revealed a touch of deep meaning.

Duanmu Fei heard that this was examining himself, his chin was slightly raised, and he said: "Grandfather, there is an old saying: 'Children and grandchildren do not suffer less, but do not suffer from talent; The industry does not suffer from poverty, but suffers from hardship. The portal does not suffer from decay, but suffers from no ambition; Friendship does not suffer from widowhood, but from evil. ’……”

Duanmu Xian did have the intention of taking the school examination, but Duanmu Fei's answer was once again unexpected by him, and he couldn't help but look slightly condensed.

Yes, children and grandchildren do not suffer less, but do not suffer from talent......

The room was silent, except for the candle flame in the palace lamp that jumped and flickered slightly.

Suddenly, Duanmu Xian laughed loudly.

"Four girls, that's a good point." He clapped his hands twice, looking at Duanmu Fei's eyes becoming more and more loving, "Grandfather ...... this matter" will not be tolerated.

However, before Duanmu Xian's words were finished, Duanmu Fei interrupted him with a smile: "Every time you come forward to suppress it, grandfather, they will never feel that they have done something wrong." ”

"They" refer not only to Duanmuqi, but also to the He family and Xiao He. Every time they do something wrong, they suffer by themselves, but they only feel that Duanmuxian is biased and never know how to reflect.

In layman's terms, it is three words: do not remember.

Duanmu Xian looked at Duanmu Fei deeply, and his gaze passed through her and landed on a mahogany carved box behind her, where there was something that the emperor had just rewarded him with......

I heard Duanmu Fei say seriously: "Grandfather shouldn't want our Duanmu family to have no achievements after you, right?" …… Only generations of hairpins are family. ”

Duanmu Xian's heart sank.

Duanmu Xian was born in a poor family, and it took him decades to climb to his current status, even if he entered the square inch, it was extremely difficult. His biggest hope in this life is to let the Duanmu clan carry forward and one day become a family like the Chu clan!

Now that he is at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, even if he sits on the position of first assistant in the future, it is impossible to protect the Duanmu family forever. And if you want to be a hairpin for generations, you don't rely on yourself, but on future generations.

For the sake of the future of the Duanmu family, I must not be soft!

People have to hurt to the root before they know what they have done wrong.

"Okay." Duanmu Xian responded in a deep voice, "This matter will be handed over to you by my grandfather." ”

Duanmu smiled, smiling innocently and cutely as usual, and thanked Duanmu Xian.

After playing a game of chess with Duanmu Xian, Duanmu Fei went back to the small study of Zhanqing Courtyard alone and instructed Jin Se to serve the pen and ink.

The water was slowly poured into the inkstone, and Duanmu Fei picked up an ink strip, turned it repeatedly and grinded it.

Emperor Chrysostom said that this holy decree is by no means child's play, even the queen mother cannot let the emperor change the holy decree for no reason, so as not to damage the monarch's authority, and he just said in front of the emperor that "thunder, rain and dew are all gentlemen", even if the queen mother really said it without knowing the severity, the emperor will definitely understand that this is not Duanmuxian's idea, it is the calculation of the queen mother and the He family.

If the Queen Mother really wants "Li Dai Taozhuang", then she must wait for an opportunity......

After a while, the water gradually thickened and was ground into thick ink, and the ink fragrance was lingering.

Duanmu put down the ink strip and smiled.

She is not in a hurry, it should be Duanmuqi and He who are in a hurry.

Duanmu Fei picked up the pen and slowly wrote down the recipe for Bifang wine according to his memory.

One stroke at a time, one stroke at a time, and the hairpin in one hand is already different from "Chu Qingci", but it is still upright and beautiful.

Her eyes sparkled like stars, like knives.

And......

She went to the palace in the cold, not to play with the Queen Mother, but for a more important matter.

I hope the emperor doesn't let her down.

Duanmu smiled crookedly, and his big eyes narrowed into slits with a smile accidentally, like a little fox whose wishes came true.

"Quack?" The little starling stumbled under his feet, and always felt that his master was a bit like one of its natural enemies.

------Off topic------

Why do some people always think that 500 words in a chapter and four chapters a day are more diligent than me in 9,000 words a chapter and one chapter a day?

Shouldn't I do the same? (smiling)
