24 solar terms,

Xiao Han.

On this day, it was so cold that it was not clear.

Early in the morning,

As soon as Qihua woke up, he shouted that he wanted to find his father, but the Empress Shang was really strong, so he supported Ying'er to lead him to the water stream.

however

Not long after Qihua's front foot walked, my back foot went down in the morning and came from the snow in the Mogui Palace.

"Li'er, where's Qihua?" As soon as I entered the door, I searched inside and out, but I couldn't see Qihua, so I asked Li'er.

When Li'er heard that I was looking for my son for the first time, she was suddenly surprised, and only asked, "What day is today, how can my son remember Qihua?"

"What did Li'er say this, as if I didn't care about it." There was a hint of timidity in my tone.

"Isn't it?" Li'er only stood in front of me, and asked deliberately with her eyebrows raised.

"This Qihua, others don't know, they think it's Bai Yan's son!" Li'er said again.

Suddenly

"Little princess, slow down!"

With the call of Lai'er outside the door, Li'er and I both looked back, and saw that Xiao Xiao happened to come back from flying a kite outside, and saw that I was also there, jumping up and down excitedly, and jumped into my arms like a swimming fish, "Father, hug~"

I only picked up the young man with a smooth face, and Yu Li'er couldn't help but sigh in front of her, "She is really like you," and then said, "I originally wanted to come to teach Qihua poetry and books today, but he is not there, so ...... Young...... Do you want to learn?"

"Hmm." When he saw his father looking at him, he must have responded positively.

"Qihua went to Bai Yan's place early this morning, I guess...... I can't come back for a while, and although it's my daughter's house, it's good to learn more. Li'er straightened her asymmetrical neckline and turned her face to me.

I only walked to the front of the desk with my arms in my arms,

Bent over and put Xiao Xiao on the seat, and then found a copy of "Word Book" by the bookcase, turned around and handed it to Xiao Yao.

After Li'er glanced at it, she only stepped forward and took it, flipped through two pages, and said, "This ...... Isn't it too difficult for an untimely death?"

But I sat down and said, "It's not difficult...... It's not difficult, Li'er is so smart, it's definitely not bad! ”

Li'er glanced at herself and "sighed", only quietly went to the room, and continued to sew up the unfinished sachet without saying a word.

presently

The sound of Langlang slowly entered the ear.

I said a word, and I followed a sentence.

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom."

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom."

"The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to have a home."

"The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to have a home."

"The peach is dying, there is a fact."

"The peach is dying, there is a fact."

"The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family."

"The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family."

"The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming."

"The peach is dying, and its leaves are blooming."

"The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family."

"The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family."

……

It's very much like back then, however, it's better that Li'er and I finally gave it to them

A complete life.

(b)

It's the Lantern Festival,

Blend twilight, bright and far-reaching, dyed willow smoke.

On the street, ten thousand lights are bright, jade leaks silver kettle, fragrant cars and BMWs, wine friends and poets, and paved green crowns, all of which are a piece of brilliance.

This is the first time since Qihua and Xiaoxiao were born to see such a lively scene at the palace gate, and the two children must be so excited that they don't know why.

Fortunately, I had nothing to do at night, so I agreed to go out of the palace to enjoy the game together, otherwise, Li'er and Bai Yan alone would definitely not be able to control the untimely death and Qihua who are now about to get rid of the reins.

"Slow down~" I said patiently as I tugged on tightly.

"Father, I want that!" Xiao Xiao pointed to a small shop selling rabbit lanterns, and turned to me to beg for help.

I only chuckled, then led the young man to the side of the shop and asked, "How much does a rabbit lantern you sell?"

"Three pennies a piece." The shopkeeper kept sticking in his hand while shouting at me.

I looked down at the look of desire in my eyes, and only raised my hand and took out a tael of silver and said, "Give me three, and you don't have to look for the rest of the money!" ”

The shopkeeper looked at the white swaying silver, and with bright eyes, he picked out three of the best babas and sent them to the eyes of the young man, and then laughed and said flatteringly, "Childe, this is your daughter, she looks so good, if you like it, you will often come to the shop in the future!" ”

Holding the three delicate and beautiful rabbit lanterns, he looked satisfied.

"Father, Father!" Qihua was also on the other side, pulling Bai Yan to a hawker.

Bai Yan saw Qihua's eyes lit up at the gold leaf syrup sold by this small seller, so he said, "Want to eat?"

When Qihua heard this, he only nodded sideways, and replied firmly, "I want to eat." ”

"Give me a spoonful of syrup." Bai Yan looked at Qihua, first sighed with a self-pleasing smile, and then said to the vendor.

The peddler replied, "Okay! He raised his hand and took out a small wooden stick, wrapped a spoonful of syrup and handed it to Qihua.

"Just give five cents and you'll be done!" As soon as Qi Hua took it, he couldn't wait to lick it, only "giggled" and knew that he was satisfied, and then the vendor also laughed and raised his face to Bai Yan and said the price with a big grin.

Bai Yan also gave the vendor a tael of silver like me, and said, "You don't need to look for it." ”

The peddler took it tremblingly and hesitated, "This ...... Not so good! ”

"There's nothing bad about it, otherwise the next time I bring my child to buy it, you can just give me a cheaper price!" Bai Yan bent his arm and stroked his sleek forehead, and said to the peddler.

"Okay! The next time my son brings my son to buy it, I'll give you a cheaper price, children love sweet things! The peddler lowered his head for a moment, and said only in general agreement.

Bai Yan couldn't answer for a while, nodded a little stunned, and replied, "Okay...... Okay. ”

Suddenly

There was a loud bang behind him,

And all the people gathered together,

The boiling talk in the crowd grew louder and louder, and gradually reached our ears

"Wow, who is this?"

"How could this man fall from above?"

"It's unlucky!"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"This man is still angry, who can save him?"

"Do you want to send it to the hospital?"

"How can the Lantern Festival Medical Center be opened?"

"On such a good day, how can anyone not think about it so much?"

"It's not ...... Isn't this Aunt Li's son,! ”

……

Seeing this, the three of us only glanced at each other, and Bai Yan and I handed them over to Li'er at the same time, and then, the two of them each opened up the crowd and squeezed in together, and Li'er followed behind them.

After Bai Yan stepped forward to relieve the injured man, he felt that he was saved, so he raised his face and glanced at me, and said, "There is still help." ”

I only turned around and dispersed the crowd backwards, and Li'er led Qihua and Xiaoxiao to stand quietly aside.

Bai Yan knelt beside the child, first luckily clicked on his acupoint, temporarily stopped the blood in the seven orifices, and then took out three extremely sharp silver needles from the waist seal and slowly inserted them into the needle on the child's heavenly spirit cover, and then gave him some pills to swallow, and the child woke up faintly.

However, he was still extremely weak, "I ...... What's going on? ”

Seeing this situation, they were only grateful to Dade for crying and kneeling at Bai Yan's feet, kowtowing and thanking him repeatedly, "The great kindness of the engong is beyond the retribution of the peasant woman!" ”

Bai Yan took a deep breath and helped the peasant woman up, explaining, "It's a lot of effort, but even if he wakes up, he must not take it lightly, because he has fainting symptoms and will fall from it inexplicably, fortunately, this building is not high, and it does not hurt the vital point, and you need to take one of these pills every day in the future, understand?" ”

After saying that, Bai Yan stuffed a white porcelain bottle into the peasant woman's hand, and the peasant woman suddenly felt ashamed, and pulled the child to kowtow a few times before getting up and saying, "The peasant woman understands." ”

The crowd around them saw that it was a false alarm, and they all spontaneously applauded.

After a while, one of them suddenly said, "I know, he is a jade-faced miracle doctor!" ”

For a while, the surrounding crowd began to rumble again

"Isn't the divine doctor perennial on the iceberg of Ling Country?"

"Is it really a miracle doctor?"

"Oh my God, it's really a jade-faced miracle doctor, no wonder it's a wonderful hand to rejuvenate!"

Bai Yan saw that he had been recognized, so he said, "You don't have to guess anymore, when necessary, I will naturally help!" ”

Taking advantage of the fact that many people were not paying attention, Bai Yan quickly tilted his head to look at me, and after understanding together, he pulled Li'er and flew up with the children like a gust of wind.

"Father, you were so amazing just now!" He turned his head above the volley and said enviously to Bai Yan.

"It's not amazing, carving insect skills!" Bai Yan smiled happily.

"I will too, my father taught me before, but I died, and my brother will teach you again after he has learned everything!" Qihua said with pride on his face for a while.

"Who wants you to teach!" He pouted, so stubborn.

"Qihua, did you make any progress last time you memorized the "Teacher Table"?" I suddenly asked in a sour voice at Qi Hua.

Li'er couldn't help but smile and persuaded me, "Childe~"

Bai Yan shook his head, and said, "Hey~ vinegar jar, it seems that I really didn't make a mistake with this title!" ”

Li'er turned around in the middle again, frowned, and said, "If you are in the limelight tonight, don't recruit any more sons." ”

"Okay, yes, Your Majesty." Bai Yan was still joking on the side.

Our group leisurely flew over the splendid courtyard, and had nothing to do with the golden window and jade threshold.

When passing through the wine market, Bai Yanzi casually threw a few taels of silver and luckily took a few pots of sake.

Finally fell to the top of the court in the most prosperous place in Jinling

Looking around, it is bustling, and the wine shop is singing.

"Bai Yan, what is the condition of that child who suddenly faints?" Li'er sat here with her arms around me, and she couldn't figure it out because of what had just happened, so she only turned her head sideways and asked Bai Yan on the side.

"Didn't you say that? It's syncope. Bai Yan picked up a pot of sake, took a sip, and said in a mocking.

"Lie! What kind of syncope do you have to take your special pills every day?" After hearing this, I turned my head slightly, and pointed at Bai Yan with understanding.

"There are some things that you might as well not say them," Bai Yan said, picking up another pot of sake, raising his hand and throwing it at me, "It's just hurting people's hearts!" ”

I threw up my sleeves and took a sip, and then said, "But there are some things that I don't say now, and I will be even more sad to learn about them suddenly in the future!" ”

"You're talking about that kid?" Li'er asked Yu Zhong a little confused.

"Or else?" Yu Li'er, who was smiling but not smiling, asked rhetorically.

"Li'er, can't you hear me? The child ...... "As soon as I spoke, I couldn't bear to say any more, but only stopped shaking my head and sighing.

Bai Yan couldn't help but take a few puffs, and his clear voice jumped out, and he said thoroughly, "That kid won't live to be twelve years old at all, because he has cerebral saliva and can't be saved, I'm ...... I'm just helping him get through it. ”

"Why do you have such a condition? Even you can't do anything?" Li'er frowned and asked.

Bai Yan shook his head and said helplessly, "This is a congenital disease, as a doctor like me, I am used to seeing life and death in my life, and there are too many helpless diseases. ”

Li'er looked at the mischievous and noisy Xiao and Qihua in front of her.

A sweet smile of satisfaction.

"Li'er, do you remember the Huai River?" I put my arms around her from behind and looked into the distance.

"Of course I remember, that's where you and I fell in love, and at that time...... I nineteen. Somehow, Li'er Fang said that there were some tears in her eyes.

"Li'er, do you know that I fell in love with you at first sight, I didn't believe this statement, but after seeing you...... And I believed. I just looked at her, and then said with some mockery.

Bai Yan lowered his head and drank sullen wine on one side, and when I saw it, I turned around slightly and shouted at Bai Yan on the other side, "Who is that!" ”

Bai Yan trembled in shock, raised his face to meet my gaze, and asked angrily, "Vinegar jar, what are you doing?"

The two looked at each other and smiled unconsciously, and raised the wine jug in their hands in tacit understanding, and drank the sake in the fragrant wind

"Thank you!"

"No thanks."

In the past, Xiao Xiao and Qihua only cared about immersing themselves in the good times of the present,

"Brother, look at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, it's so beautiful~" Xiao Xiao pushed Qihua's shoulder and sighed milkily.

"What's this, I haven't seen the world!" Qihua nodded at his forehead and said with a look of genuine disgust.

"You've seen it, you've seen it, haven't you also come out for the first time? Bragging doesn't hit drafts! Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes at Qihua, and replied mercilessly.

Qihua didn't pay attention to it anymore, but muttered in a low voice, "You have your father's protection, good men don't fight women!" ”

"Wow! Kong Ming lanterns fly so high! Xiao Xiao kept looking up like this, and his eyes rose and fell with Kong Ming's lantern.

And Qihua stared at a place on the street in a daze, and only smiled stupidly, "White as snow on the mountain, like the moon in the clouds." ”

I wondered what I saw that could make him say such a quatrain.

Therefore, he also looked at it with Li'er's gaze

But I only saw the crescent moon like eyebrows, the wall flowers and branches, people coming and going, the light boat slow, the Huai River lanterns, the old and the fresh alternate, the wind is slightly rising, the waves are slightly born, the strings are also hair, and the wine is also pouring.

On this day,

It was still as peaceful as usual, and it didn't seem to be anything special compared to the day before.

It's another year of ambush season, the palace willows are noisy, and the sky is green.

Lai'er and Ying'er stood on the two corners of the hall respectively, and in front of them were just two large tanks of summer ice just sent by the internal office, and both of them were holding the special pu fan in the palace at this time, gently shaking the cold air evenly.

"Li'er, is it still hot?" I was pushing the door in, and as soon as I saw Li'er, I asked in such a hurry.

Li'er only put down the work in her hand, walked up to me in her clothes, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's not hot, how can it get hot?" ”

I pulled her to sit on the edge of the couch, and I caught a glimpse of Qihua who was flipping through the book on the case, but I didn't see it, so I whispered in her ear and asked, "Where is it?"

Li'er turned her head to look at me, but she said with an unintentional smile on her face, "I was taken down for a nap by my grandmother." ”

I nodded knowingly, and then said in the direction of Qihua, "Qihua." ”

Qihua put down the book on the case, raised his blank little face and looked at Gongzi and said, "Father, what's wrong?" ”

I leaned down on the couch and asked, "Listen to the forty-second chapter of the Book of Rites by me." ”

Qihua just let out a sigh of relief, and then closed his eyes Langlang recalled, "The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection." Knowing and then there is certainty, and then there is stability, and then it can be quiet, and then it can be peaceful, and then it can be considered, and then it can be obtained. Things have a beginning and an end. If you know what to do, you will be shortcut......"

From time to time, I peeked at Qihua from the couch, and I was really satisfied with the child's performance.

Woodland

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something is wrong!"

The waiter outside the door urged urgently.

Then I had to ask Qihua to stop, and Li'er walked to the door to call out Mama and ordered her to take Qihua down first to take care of her.

I just bent down and sat up, and I was disappointed and ordered Ying'er who was standing by the door, "Let him come in and talk!" ”

After Qihua was taken down, Li'er also went back to the end of the couch and sat down, and turned around to look at Lai'er, who wanted to get some news from her, but Lai'er looked at Li'er for some reason.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang......" After kneeling on the edge of the couch and making a big salute, the words were so slurred that even a fool could see what he was signaling to me.

I glanced sideways at Li'er, but said to the waiter, "Don't scruple, the queen is here, you can also speak up!" ”

The waiter nervously touched the ground with his palms, and his sideburns were tired with beads of sweat the size of beans, and he said cautiously, "I just came to report from Ling Guo's fast horse...... Qingdi ...... In the middle of the night the day before yesterday, the dragon was in the sky! ”

When Li'er heard the news, she couldn't help but say in disbelief, "How is this possible...... How is this possible...... I still remember when my grandfather came at the end of last winter, his body was still so tough. ”

I just moved to Li'er, took her in my arms, and patted her gently, "Li'er, Li'er, it's okay, and what about me......"

The chamberlain didn't seem to have the intention of closing his mouth, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, in addition to bringing this news, Fang Kuaima also presented a letter from Emperor Qing, which can only be read by His Majesty and Niangniang." ”

I hurriedly raised my other hand and shouted, "Don't take it up yet!" ”

When the chamberlain heard this, he took the letter out of his bosom, held it in both hands, and held it above his head.

I shook my hand and took it, quickly tore open the seal, and read it with Li'er, and the content of the letter was roughly as follows:

Emperor Jin and Empress Shang personally enlightened:

I know that this speed is indispensable, but I don't want Emperor Jin and the Empress Shang to say goodbye to me, in fact, Emperor Jin and the Empress Shang will always exist in my heart, that is, they will accompany me every day.

People are about to die, then the most unbearable people are not Emperor Jin, the Empress of Shang, and the people, Ling Guo is remote and worried, after going, tens of millions of Lao Jin Emperor help one back, since then, there is no Ling Guo, the monarch of the contemporary, all hopes should be allowed, the old body is here to worship!

The book is a masterpiece

Li'er was only halfway through the reading, and she was already in tears, and she couldn't bear to continue, so she said, "Grandfather said this, Ling Guo must have great trouble. ”

After thinking about it for a while, I only said calmly to the inner servant, "It seems that I am going to go to Ling Kingdom with the Empress Shang." ”

Li'er looked at me worriedly and said, "I don't know what the opponent is over there, so I have to bring some soldiers and horses." ”

I also agreed, "On the bright side, it should be better to stay in Ye Guo, or to act like before, with some secret guards!" ”

"What should I do with Xiaoxiao and Qihua, I am a little worried about leaving them alone in the palace." Li'er said so worriedly.

"But this is a difficult and dangerous place, and if you take it with you, I'm afraid they will be hurt." When I said this, I couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on my face.

Just when Li'er and I were both hesitant to stay with Hua, suddenly a familiar white light and shadow stepped in from outside the door in time

"You guys go in peace, I will take care of the two children in the palace during this time!" Bai Yan passed the crowd with the agility of a light swallow, walked briskly in front of me and Li'er, and said to us.

Li'er and I looked at each other tacitly, and both wanted to come

If it is a white word, you will be able to rest assured!

Therefore, the three of us decided to make a decision on this matter.

In the evening of the same day,

Strange return to the palace,

The candle moves slightly, and the wax drips like water.

After I turned my back and explained what I had learned about Emperor Ling Guoqing during the day, the secret guards all replied in a deep voice, "The subordinates understand, the subordinates will go back to prepare their bags and polish their respective devices, and they will definitely live up to the high expectations of their masters!" ”

I was ashamed, but I looked up at Gong Liang, and said, "I also know that over the years, some of the secret guards have also become families, you need to know that this must be dangerous, and I am afraid that there will be worries about my life. ”

In an instant, the guards all looked as if they had been hit by an iron whip, and they all lowered their heads in a daze, thinking silently in unison.

About an hour later, the lamp in Liangshanggong, which I was staring at, suddenly went out.

After thinking about it for so long, the people of the secret guard have made a rough choice

I slowly turned around, and when I mustered up the courage to raise my eyes, I found that the Secret Guards were united, and none of them flinched.

The secret guard swore in turn, "My subordinates already have wives and children, but they should also put loyalty first!" ”

"There is an old mother under him, who has taught her since she was a child that she should repay the kindness of her master with her body."

"If the skin does not exist, the hair will be attached!"

"Even if there is a family member who cares about them, their subordinates will never leave their master, they should understand!"

……
