It is said that the father and daughter of Yan Shu went home first in order to avoid secrecy, and the two had nothing to say along the way, and when they returned to Yan's mansion, they entered the house, Su and Jiang's mother came up to serve and change clothes, and Yizhi wanted to go, but was called to stop again, and asked him to wait in Qingming Courtyard, and Yizhi secretly thought that his father had something to say, so he answered and went to the study of Qingming Courtyard to boil water and sencha.

After waiting for a while, Yan Shu changed his homely clothes and walked slowly, sat down on the tea table first, picked up the tea prepared by the memory to eat, and ate two bites in succession, then talked about Lu Bigong's father, Lu Yijian, the political affairs of the Pingzhang Dynasty, and said: "That one is Xianping for three years, ascended to the Jinshidi, and successively served as Tongzhou Tongju, Binzhou Zhizhou, Ancestral Department member Wailang, Criminal Department member Wailang and Imperial History. He was talented, prudent and diligent, and had a reputation for "incorruptible" at that time. When he knew Binzhou, he asked for exemption from the tax on agricultural tools, and the emperor promulgated it for him. In the ancestral hall member Wailang, he wrote a letter to the emperor to build the palace is to work the people and lose money, please stop the winter river transport wood and stone. The emperor praised him for his "heart for the country and the people" and entrusted him with great responsibilities several times. He once sent an envoy to the Khitan to negotiate and demarcate the border, and made great contributions to the signing of the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and after returning to the dynasty, he was promoted to the post of governor and became a close minister of the emperor. At the end of the previous dynasty, he was promoted to Langzhong of the Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor Relocation Department, and the right to know Kaifeng Mansion. ”

Yizhi probably guessed his father's intentions, and didn't express it, just listened quietly.

Yan Shu continued: "When the first emperor died, His Majesty was only ten years old, and the political affairs of Pingzhang of the previous dynasty colluded with the great eunuch inside and outside, playing with power tricks, and setting up the imperial power. At this point, he stopped talking, raised his eyes, and looked at memories.

Seeing his father's gaze, he seemed to have the intention of questioning, thought for a moment, and said: "On the former Empress Dowager Liu, she is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, eliminate traitors, know people well, and her merits are enough to be comparable to Empress Lu and Wu Cao. If not, she had a deep relationship with the former emperor and his wife, and she didn't dare to say anything after ......" again, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my father also specially gave her a weekly ceremony." ”

Yan Shu thought of this, immersed in it, for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, did not say more, and said: "The first emperor favored the Empress Dowager Liu, and because of her weak health, he handed over state affairs to her, which was quite successful, making her more and more rigid. ”

Yi Zhi's tone was not good, and he said: "Lu Gong naturally has something extraordinary. After another pause, he whispered: "My father is the minister of the humerus, and he blindly panders to and pleases the official family, and degrades the court, including my father, one by one. Fortunately, the official family could not leave his father, but after a while, he recalled his father back to Beijing. ”

Yan Shu shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has lived under the Queen Mother for a long time, and has not been able to call the shots for many years. Seeing that his daughter was still indignant, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that you, a girl, have a bigger temperament than me, so it can be seen that I am too worried." ”

Remembering the way: "The father and Lu Gong are on different paths, if the daughter doesn't even know this, is she still worthy of being your daughter?" After speaking, he grinned and slapped Yan Shu's back.

Yan Shu smiled dotingly and said, "I know you are clever, but this matter must also be handled carefully and not recklessly." Yizhi nodded and said, "Got it, Daddy." ”

The father and daughter gossiped again. It happened that Su Shi sent fruit, through the curtains, and vaguely saw the father and daughter sitting opposite each other, looking a little serious, and waited under the porch for a while, until he heard the laughter from the house, and then took Jiang's mother into the study, and the family talked and laughed, and they were happy.

After the cold food, it was Qingming again, and I remembered to see all the people in the Qingming Temple, after trying it in the palace, I was in a worried mood, so I invited Liu Xiuying and Ouyang Xu, Han Yuqi, Shi Jie and others to prepare fruits, rice, bad goose paws, duck letters, etc. to eat. The hair is combed in a high bun, the upper body is a slanted narrow-sleeved Confucian shirt, and the lower body is a two-piece spiral skirt.

When everyone reached the suburbs, they only smelled a pleasant aroma of fragrant grass, and saw the green mountains and green waters, full of flowers, a splendid world, and couldn't help but open up a lot. Liu Xiuying and Shi Jie have good riding skills, chasing each other one after the other, so unhappy, Ouyang Xu followed closely behind the two, reminding loudly from time to time, Han Yuqi thought of memories, and chased the front unhurriedly, taking care of the back.

Han Yuqi looked at the clouds, afraid that there would be a spring rain, everyone was busy looking for a place to hide from the rain, sure enough, only a moment of effort, the wind wrapped in the drizzle rushed to the face, everyone searched for a while, found a pavilion, busy with the drizzle, rushed to that place, reached the pavilion, tied the horse and unloaded the saddle, unloaded the bag, hid in the pavilion, and then, a burst of rain fell outside the pavilion, everyone was drenched in the drizzle, and each wiped it with a towel handkerchief. Ouyang Xu saw that the spring rain did not stop for a while, and while he was glad that he had escaped in time, he proposed to spread a felt in the center of the pavilion, put the food on the table, and enjoy the scenery of the spring rain in the suburbs.

Everyone agreed, and they went about their work, and after a while, they were all arranged, and they ate and drank happily.

When the spring rain came violently, it was also swift when it went, and it stopped after a while, and the new leaves of the tender grass added the rain and dew to show more condensation, and the fragrance of spring mud floated in the air.

Xiuying didn't want to stop here, everyone thought that it was rare to go out, so they packed up and continued to straddle the horse.

The crowd walked for a while, reached a wide foothill, saw that there were countless tourists, carriages and horses, and there were tea sheds, Guan Po sheds, dumpling stalls, barbecue stalls and other open houses. In the shed, there is a big disc that is three feet square, there are hundreds of birds and beasts and utensils and flowers and plants painted on it, it is not more than half an inch long, it is as wide as the little finger, a card is set up next to the disc, and there are ten texts and one arrow on the book. Xiuying saw that the test was archery, and she was interested, so she asked the store for the prize, and the store replied that if you shoot the beast painting, you will get a piece of fresh roe meat, and you can make a fire to roast it from the meat stall next to it, if you shoot the utensils, you can get a fan, embroidered handkerchiefs and other things, if you shoot flowers and plants, you can get a bowl of sugar water.

Ouyang Xu saw that the disc was far away, and the drawings on the disc were subtle and extremely difficult, so he said: "If it's entertainment, it's okay." Liu Xiuying said: "The third brother is so ambitious, what is this difficult, you just wait and see, watch me shoot the roe meat, let's barbecue and eat it." ”

Shi Jie was also very interested and said, "That relationship is good." As he spoke, he asked Yizhi again: "Xiao Yizhi, do you see if you like it, the fourth brother will shoot you as a gift." ”

Yizhi knew Shi Jie's archery skills, hesitated slightly, and said: "I'm not picky, what the fourth brother shoots, I like." As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Xu and Han Yuqi both laughed, but they didn't say much, Shi Jie's heart was bright, he squinted at Yizhi, and said, "You take care of my face, I still have to shoot a good thing." After that, he took out Shiwen and handed it to the shopkeeper, and was about to bend the bow and shoot an arrow, so the shopkeeper turned the disc, Shi Jie closed one eye, stared at it for a long time, and shot an arrow with a bang, only to see the arrow from the edge of the disc grazed, and plunged into the grass behind him, so that a blade of grass trembled.

Everyone burst into laughter, Yizhi laughed so hard that his cheeks turned red, while holding his stomach, he said to Shi Jie: "Fourth brother...... What are you...... You're going to give it away...... Send me a handful of weeds? ”

Shi Jie couldn't hold it on his face, said again, and wanted to find out ten cents again, Xiuying hurriedly snatched the bow and arrow, and said: "Fourth Brother Jie can't just play by himself, let me let me." Yizhi took the opportunity to pull Shi Jie away, Xiuying stood firmly on her feet, the store turned the disc again, Xiuying closed her eyes and concentrated, only to feel that the noisy sound in her ears retreated to both sides, and she focused for a long time, and it was also a bang, the arrow was firmly nailed to the disc, and everyone's eyes were on the disc, as the disc slowly stopped rotating, seeing that it really hit the beast map, she couldn't help but praise it.

Xiuying was a little proud, and couldn't help but say: "Shop, I don't know how much fresh roe meat you have prepared, I have to shoot it all down today to reward a few brothers." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "The girl is good at archery, but I didn't explain the rules at first, this roe deer meat, you need to shoot three times in a row, and you can go back to the beast map." ”

Shi Jie was displeased, and said, "Such a rule, why didn't you say it earlier." clearly selfishly thought that we would definitely not be able to shoot, and this time when he saw that we were shot again, he was reluctant, so he wanted to play tricks and excuse himself. ”

The store is on the left and on the right, with a smile on his face, but he just doesn't let go. Ouyang Xu was upset, and also argued with him a few times.

Xiuying's little face was raised, and she said: "Three times is not a difficult thing, but I am not happy that you have provoked the girl, and I have to shoot all your prizes home today!" Anyway, and to concentrate on archery, the shopkeeper hurriedly turned the turntable, sure enough, the second arrow was also hit, everyone was a burst of joy, the surrounding tourists were attracted, and Xiuying was about to shoot the third arrow, the shopkeeper had a rhetoric, talking about the second arrow, the third arrow needs to be paid for separately, Xiuying who is also, when the aim was aimed at the shop, and said sharply: "You talk nonsense, I will shoot your shoulder bone through, and then invite my military patrol brother to cut off this public case, see if it is yours or mine!" ”

Where did the store dare to say more, and hurriedly turned the disc and let Xiuying shoot.

I don't know if it was anger, Xiuying's third arrow missed, and the arrow was standing between the pattern of the flower and the beast.

Xiuying was annoyed for a while, threw the bow, pointed at the nose of the shopkeeper and scolded: "It must be you black-hearted traitor villain who did it, see how this girl teaches you!" As she spoke, she was about to go up and fight with her arms, but everyone rushed up to stop her. Shi Jie also didn't follow, and he had to argue to the end, everyone stopped this, couldn't stop that, stopped that, couldn't stop this, and it was a mess.

Han Yuqi changed his habit of pausing before speaking, and said continuously: "Sister Xiuying, don't worry, Sister Xiuying, don't worry, let me give it a try." ”

Yi Zhi hurriedly raised his voice, and while pulling Liu Xiuying, he said: "This thing is really annoying, but it can't be ...... But a piece of roe deer meat, you haven't eaten it...... Yours, your hands and feet are not serious, and it will be another storm if you make a good fight! You ...... Calm down, let the second brother try, there is nothing wrong with it! He said to Shi Jie again: "Fourth brother, don't make trouble, stop it, stop Xiuying is serious!" ”

When Shi Jie heard this, he calmed down a little, Xiuying was being blocked by everyone, and she had to kick out with an empty foot, but fortunately she was blocked tightly, and she only made a fuss for a while, but she couldn't succeed, and after hearing the two of them say this, she gradually suppressed the fire, but her face was gloomy, and she scolded: "You bastard, you bastard, dare to be bad, be careful that I break your hands and feet, lift your mat, and demolish your yard, so that you know how powerful your grandmother is!" ”

The shopkeeper saw that the three men and one woman in the same company could barely stop Liu Xiuying, and looked at her with horizontal eyebrows and eyes, extremely domineering appearance, he was so frightened that he had no idea, where did he dare to do anything.

Liu Xiuying took a sip of the shopkeeper, don't turn her face and ignore it, only to see Han Yuqi take advantage of the situation to take out ten cents and hand it to the store, pick up the bow, take another arrow, close her eyes and concentrate for a moment, and then open her eyes, the look that burst out of those eyes made her stunned, only to feel that the demeanor was different from the past. I also saw that everyone looked confident, and I felt even more extraordinary.

Han Yuqi shot an arrow first, as expected, stabilized the beast map, Liu Xiuying couldn't help but applaud, but seeing that he was still calm, he took two arrows in a row and shot them out in unison, which turned out to be all in the middle again, causing an uproar among the gathered tourists. Liu Xiuying almost jumped up and shouted, "My second brother Han, you are hiding deeply!" ”

Han Yuqi smiled back.

Yizhi smiled: "You don't know a lot, please me, I'll show you one by one." When they heard this, they all laughed. Xiuying was very happy, and hurriedly bowed down to Yizhi, suddenly, and her face turned pale, and she yelled at the shopkeeper: "If you don't present the roe deer, the pestle will die here, is it possible, and you still want to repay the debt?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, was coldly yelled, frightened all over a spirit, thought that he had met such a female rakshasa, today is not avoidable, it is better to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and it is serious to send them away quickly, so he hurriedly took out a half-inch wooden card from his sleeve pocket, and wanted to present it to Han Yuqi, all the way to Liu Xiuying, shrunk his neck, walked over quickly, and gave the wooden card to Han Yuqi, and said with a smile: "Brother is good archery, congratulations brother, congratulations brother, brother and sister, as long as you hold this card, Go to the meat stall under the locust tree to exchange for roe meat. As he spoke, he looked at Liu Xiuying from time to time, and saw that Liu Xiuying was still staring at her, and she was busy with a stack of congratulations.

The rest of the people didn't want to deal with him, but they each gave him a look, and then went to the meat stall to exchange for roe meat, and took each other's hands, cut a few pieces of roe meat longitudinally, pierced it with an iron stick, and roasted it on a ready-made iron frame on the side, and licked the roe meat with a tongue of fire, and after a while, it was fragrant for thousands of miles.

Liu Xiuying tasted it first, and felt that the meat tasted fishy and not very fresh, so she proposed to everyone: "Next time, I will invite your brothers to hunt, and at that time, it will taste good when it is caught and roasted." ”

Ouyang Xu tasted a piece and didn't like it, and when he heard Liu Xiuying say this, he said happily: "That feeling is excellent." Yizhi said to Liu Xiuying: "If you really have such a plan, you should tell me earlier, I will prepare rice, sweet wine, fruits, vegetables, etc. to relieve your greasy." ”

Shi Jie heard Yizhi's arrangement, and hurriedly said: "Sister Xiuying, you can set a date quickly, I can't be hungry anymore." ”

Everyone laughed, and Xiuying said, "Wait for me to have a good day." He said to Yizhi again: "I promise to inform you in advance." ”

Although the taste of roe meat is insufficient, everyone enjoys the spring scenery of the suburbs, and cooks the fruits brought by the family, which is not worth the trip. After eating for a while, Yizhi and Xiuying went to the forest to pick up flowers, and happily wore a full head for Shi Jie and Ouyang Xu, because they didn't dare to frolic with Han Yuqi, so you pushed me, I pushed you, and gave each other a look. Yizhi and Xiuying are afraid of Han Yuqi, Shi Jie and Ouyang Xu are not afraid, they have the opportunity to tease, how can they miss it, so the two glanced at each other, one pressed Han Yuqi, and the other chose the purple and red hairpin for him. Han Yuqi has never liked flowers and willow green, he is angry and laughing, and when he sees everyone happy, he doesn't take it off, so he lets it be teased.

After a while, Shi Jie ran to the stream to clean his hands, saw that there were fish in the water, rolled up his narrow sleeves to fish, Ouyang Xu and Xiuying heard it, and also ran over, Xiuying sharpened the branch with the dagger she carried, and the three of them buried their heads in the water to insert fish, until the sun was obliquely shining, and they couldn't catch even a piece of fish scales. On the way back, everyone chased each other in the golden sunset, adding another fun to the trip.
