Qi Qiuli took out a five-colored dumpling from the oiled paper, sat on the edge of Wanying's bed, strengthened her courage, leaned over, stretched out her face, pinched the dumpling, and thought: I am kind, I am worried about her hunger, if she thinks that I am offending her like this, she is a wolf.

Seeing that Wanying was still sentimental, she brought the dumpling to Wanying and said, "This is the five-color dumpling I went to the kitchen to help you get, so you can cushion your stomach." ”

Wanying didn't stretch out her hand to take it, nor did she say anything, she still lay on the bed, thinking about her thoughts leisurely and complainingly. This is probably Qi Qiuli's most unaccustomed hypocrisy. Everyone is a palace maid, and people scolded you first, but you didn't spare others, and you also let you finish scolding, and after you were done, you still made a look of grievance. It's like the world revolves around you.

Qi Qiuli said to herself: "Sure enough, it's a wolf-hearted dog, I am worried about your hunger, braving the goose feather snow, going out to find food for you, I knew that you didn't appreciate it, why should I go out to freeze it." It's boring. I know that the eldest lady is still angry, and it is inconvenient for me to open my mouth to persuade her, she scolded you first, although she is not good, but you didn't let her scold her in vain! If she is fifty steps wrong, you are a hundred steps wrong, and no one should complain about anyone. ”

People sometimes can't explain it, the more they follow the mood and temper to coax, the more they can't coax and persuade, just ignore her, just like that, if you give two more unpleasant words, it's like taking a panacea, everything is good, the anger is smooth, and the anger is gone.

Wanying is at this moment, listening to Qi Qiuli's heavy words, it seems that she has taken two elixirs. Although I have never been hungry or cold since I was a child, and I have not been so shameless and shameless, I am also relieved to be said by Qi Qiuli. Oh, yes! Didn't I choke people up. turned around, puffed out his mouth and said, "You said that I am a wolf-hearted dog, I don't care about you for the sake of finding me a gluttonous face." ”

When Qi Qiuli heard this, she laughed and wanted to say, "How long do I think you can be hypocritical?" No matter how hypocritical you are, you can't resist the word 'hungry'. "But it's just a matter of thinking about it. Such a strange temperament of the eldest lady finally coaxed it, if she was annoyed again, wouldn't she wipe her tears one night.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I shouldn't say that you have a wolf heart and a dog lung, it's my wolf heart and dog lungs, right? I'm going to brave the snow to find you something to eat. I'm playing a harlequin to make you laugh. ”

After Qi Qiuli finished speaking, she stuffed the dumplings into Wanying's hand, and Wanying heard her series of 'wolf hearts and dog lungs', although she felt a little self-pitying, but between the small pieces, Wanying still felt warm in her heart.

The egg-sized five-color dumplings are exquisitely made, Wanying took a bite, only to feel that the mouth was very bland, no different from ordinary steamed buns, and the filling in the middle was also a decent red bean paste, which was not surprising or exciting. If you put it on a normal day, you will definitely throw it aside after eating it. Now that her stomach is growling, she doesn't care if it's delicious or not, she eats two in a row, Qi Qiuli sent over another cup of tea, two gluttons and a few mouthfuls of water, and her stomach is finally peaceful in the world. Wan Ying said, "If only there was a stack of rose shortbread." ”

"How delicious this dumpling is, the jujube paste in it is very sweet!"

Wanying's face finally cleared up, and she said with a smile: "It's a shame that you are still a young lady from a six-rank official family, and you can't even eat jujube paste and red bean paste. ”

Wanying's sentence definitely belongs to the fact that after eating enough, the brain can't keep up, just like drinking too much and being a little on the top. After speaking, he saw Qi Qiuli's face flushed with shame, and he also knew that he was too anxious to think about what he said, and he was a little offended by the other party.

Just for a moment, Qi Qiuli put away the color and said, "I said, this stuffing is slightly sweet and sour, I just think it is jujube paste, it turns out to be red bean paste mixed with hawthorn powder." It's delicious, it's really delicious. ”

Seeing that Qi Qiuli was no longer ashamed, Wanying also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's better to look good than delicious." After saying that, he felt speechless, so he took the next words back into his stomach.

"What does it mean to be not as good-looking?" Qi Qiuli probably didn't understand what Wanying meant, and asked.

If it's hidden, it's not good, Wanying only said: "Dumplings are just steamed buns with filling, and it's good to look good." He picked up a five-colored dumpling in the shape of a rabbit in the oil paper and said, "Look at this dumpling, it is a rabbit alive, how well it is done!" It's a pity to eat it, it's better to put it there and look at it, it's also pleasing to the eye! ”

God knows how Qi Qiuli listened to Wanying's truth, how her heart was churning, I am afraid that the narrow atrium, at this moment, thousands of troops and horses are roaring by, and thousands of iron horses are trampling, and her heart is not painful, but panicked. and then poured some of the inferiority complex of jujube paste just now, and my heart was properly strong, like solidified cement, which was stuck in my heart.

Qi Qiuli compared the official positions of her father and the teacher one by one in her heart, the six grades are against the three grades, and the middle is separated from the three grades, the four grades, the four grades, the five grades, and the five grades. Thinking of this, and then thinking of the stammering face of Gong E just now, my heart was even more demoralized. Thinking that she Qi Qiuli is in Taiyuan Mansion, she is also a daughter, how can she enter the capital and let others compare her to a civilian girl.

"Your father is Shuntian Mansion Yin?"

Qi Qiuli couldn't figure it out, the huge capital city could hit a few first- and second-grade officials with just one brick, how could Shuntianfu Yin be so invincible?

This was the second time Qi Qiuli asked Wanying, of course Wanying knew what Qi Qiuli was thinking, and said directly: "Daddy is the Yin of Shuntian Mansion - the commander of the Nine Gate Infantry Army." ”

"The Admiral of the Nine Gates is the second rank, how can your father be the official rank of the third rank?" Qi Qiuli is well versed in the order of officialdom and can see the crux of the problem at once.

This is a past story that the teacher does not want to mention. During the reign of the first emperor, the master was originally a general of Zhengyipin, the minister of the guard, and the minister of the guard, and he was the minister of the first emperor's closest to him. After the sudden death of the first emperor, the current empress dowager followed the allusion of Song Gaozu to release the military power with a cup of wine, and feasted several ministers who held military power. At a banquet, Master Shi invited himself to step down from the post of Minister of the Guard. Shuntianfu Yin, who made three products. However, for the position of Admiral of the Nine Gates, the Master has always been the concurrently leader. The so-called concurrent leadership is a very delicate place, which can be interpreted as 'there is no more suitable Admiral of the Nine Gates at the moment, and the Master will do it for the time being,' and it can also be understood that 'if someone is qualified for the post of Admiral of the Nine Gates in the future, the Master must also give up this position.' In fact, there are several layers of meaning that Shi Wanying can't taste, 'checks and balances between officialdom; the emotions of the old department of the teacher; The teacher's own emotions ......'

Since the death of the first emperor, the master has a very low view of the official rank, or rather, the master has never cared about how high his official position is, so he is not sad about how low the official position is now...... He is in a high position, he is the first emperor he respects, and he believes in him, so he works hard and forgets to eat. The first emperor was the king, but in the heart of the teacher, he was like a brother. The first emperor died suddenly, and the master wanted to resign and live in seclusion several times, but everything was trapped and restricted, and he could not be freed so far.

"Daddy is just the commander of the Nine Gates."

Qi Qiuli suddenly realized, and thought: "No wonder it's the third product, it turns out that it's just a concurrent leader, and the concurrent leader is already like this, if it is the commander, then it's worth it?" He said: "The Admiral of Jiumen is an important position to protect the voice of the capital, why didn't your father take care of it and make this son sit down?" ”

Wan Ying smiled coldly in her heart, and thought: "My father was originally the Minister of the Guards of Zhengyipin, and it was my father who took the initiative to resign, and the Admiral of Jiumen was also the Queen Mother, so I asked my father to take care of it." "State affairs and family affairs Wanying herself has not figured it out, so naturally she can't talk nonsense casually. Thinking of my father's and mother's teachings before leaving, I felt a little ashamed, and I was too unobtrusive in my mouth, so casually I said so much.

"I'm tired of a day, I want to sleep, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Qi Qiuli saw that Wanying had no intention of telling her about the family, of course, she didn't want to ask, and said, "I'm also sleepy, let's go to bed early."

Qi Qiuli lifted the charcoal fire outside alone, blew the lamp, lay down on her bed, and fell asleep after a while.
