Chapter 204 Between the Lines
Updated: 2012-08-02
Li Xiaoqi pretended to be asleep in the car, pretending not to be long, and really fell asleep, and when he woke up, the car was already swaying on the road. Li Xiaoqi lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, looking around, the eyes outside the car were full of thick green dotted with wild flowers and neatly spaced, scattered black-armored cavalry, in the pressing spring color, those slaughtering black armor seemed to be much gentler, Li Xiaoqi instructed Begonia to roll up the curtains of the car high, through the silk screen window blowing a cool breeze with the smell of grass, overlooking the vibrant field and the black-armored cavalry in the field who walked freely and lightly.
Haitang carefully took a bowl of Bazhen decanting soup and handed it over and said with a smile: "Girl, try this, this decanting soup is more exquisite than Babao sweet soup!" Li Xiaoqi took a few sips and drank it, handed the bowl to Haitang and said with a smile: "You also sober up, this soup is sweet and sour, very refreshing, this Dayu even makes sweet soup so well, if you are free these days, you follow Dayu to learn cooking, and I will tell the prince when I turn around." ”
"Hmm!" Begonia hurriedly nodded in agreement, while the two were talking, Nanning rushed straight from the front, almost in front of Li Xiaomi's car, holding a brocade bag with one hand, holding the horse with one hand, and jumping off the horse neatly, Begonia hurriedly lifted the car curtain, Nanning bowed to Li Xiaoqi in the car with a smile on his face, handed the brocade bag to Begonia first, jumped next to the coachman and sat down, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "The master sent the little one over to see if the girl is better, do you want to ask the doctor to come over to diagnose the pulse?" ”
"Thank you Lord Wang, it's much better, but drunk, how can you use the pulse." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly straightened up and thanked him, Nanning pointed to the brocade bag and continued: "The master said that the things here are not in a hurry, the girl has to look at it later, the excerpt jointly signed by Yu Yuanshan and others, the Shui family has already seconded it." Nanning looked at Li Xiaoyi, who was listening attentively, paused, and continued in a relaxed and casual tone: "The master explained this, speaking of this Yu Yuanshan, Dongping just said a joke, Yu Yuanshan and a few of them are natives of Liangdi, in Yuanfeng City for a while, Dongping usually asked them about something, and they became familiar with each other, Dongping often drank and talked with Yu Yuanshan, as long as Yu Yuanshan drank wine, he couldn't stop praising the wisdom and wisdom of the fifth master, that is, there are few men who can catch up, and they have the grace of the fifth master, Since that day, I have treated the fifth master as a teacher from the bottom of my heart, and the girl said that this joke is interesting, isn't it? ”
Li Xiaoqi had a smile on his face, looked at Nanning with solemn eyes, and laughed twice: "Interesting!" It's a funny joke! Thank you Dongping for me, it's rare to hear such a nice joke. ”
"The girl is really polite, then I won't bother the girl, the master has ordered, stop to eat at Luoheyi at noon, Dongping has already taken Dayu and others to rush over to prepare the meal, I have to catch up in the afternoon, the master brought the girl's horse over, if the girl is bored in the car, it is good to ride a horse for a while." Nanning arched her hand and smiled, Li Xiaoqi was stunned, how could she have any horses? I wanted to ask but swallowed back, forget it, he said which horse was hers, it was hers.
Nanning said goodbye, jumped out of the car and rode back on horseback, Li Xiaoqi motioned to Begonia to put down the curtain, moved back, leaned comfortably on the pillow, pulled out the brocade bag, first chose Yu Yuanshan's name and picked out the fold, first read the signature, swept it at a glance and ten lines, and looked at it twice, his fingers lightly crossed the four words 'regardless of gender', this Yu Yuanshan is really smart enough to guess where he is going? Still is?????? Someone pointed to hint at him? Dongping's joke?????? Li Xiaoqi lowered his eyes, and came up with a god for a while, the Shui family seconded the proposal, the meaning of the Shui family, but also the meaning of the Su brothers, deduct the words 'regardless of men and women', Yu Yuanshan and others This excerpt is very well written, reasonable and well-founded, if the Su brothers want to achieve a great cause, they have to collect the hearts of the world's scholars, this Yu Yuanshan is pragmatic, smart, scheming and good at seizing the opportunity, and has great ambitions, such a talent, he can't raise this small pond! He has no roots and no foundation at this time, and he is looking for an opportunity in the posture of a teacher and disciple, but if he really dares to be this master without his own strength, it will not be too sooner or later, and he is afraid that this master will become this disciple's meal! It's better to be polite to each other and respect each other from afar! Li Xiaoqi opened the fold, looked at it from the beginning carefully, made up his mind, put the fold aside, and looked through the other folds in the brocade bag one by one.
When the convoy stopped at Luoheyi, Li Xiaoqi had already finished reading all the excerpts, put them in a brocade bag, and handed them to Danyue, who came up, and told them to be optimistic, and Haitang got off the car early to find more than a few skills.
Luoheyi is very small, three main houses, two kitchens, not even a yard, this time has already been cleaned up and cleaned, Li Xiaoqi entered the main house, lunch is still used by her with Su Zicheng, Su Zicheng is particular about food and is silent, Li Xiaoqi does not talk much, this meal is eaten quietly and quickly, after a while, Danyue and Luo Yan made tea and served it, Su Zicheng took two sips of tea, looked at Li Xiaoqi and asked, "Does your head still hurt?" ”
"It's much better, thank you for your concern." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly smiled and thanked him, paused, and then said: "I was about to tell my master, I have a girl named Begonia, who can also order cooking, this time I will go back with Dayu all the way, it is also a rare opportunity, I want her to learn some cooking skills with Dayu." ”
"There is a lot of waiting, what kind of cooking skills do you need a girl to learn?" Su Zicheng frowned and said, Li Xiaoqi replied with a smile: "Dayu is the cook in the prince's mansion, thanks to the blessing of the prince these days, but you can't be like this every day, the prince's cook, how can it be so annoying." Su Zicheng's face suddenly sank, looking at Li Xiaoqi without saying a word, Li Xiaoqi aimed at him out of the corner of his eyes, and changed the topic with a smile: "I have read Yu Yuanshan's excerpts several times, but I didn't expect his articles to be so well written, this person is pragmatic, understands the economy, and is so talented, which is the blessing of the prince." ”
"Well," Su Zicheng looked unkind, Li Xiaoqi looked at him, and then said: "This fold is at the right time, at this time, the Taiping Mansion is unknown because of Prime Minister Lin's death??????." Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng's raised eyebrows, and then said: "Just dead, I really don't understand so much, the eunuchs of the Taiping Mansion and even the Wu State are in turmoil and anger at this time, and when the prince takes Huainan Road, this turmoil and anger will intensify, Yu Yuanshan's article may be used to appease and win over the hearts of the scholars of Huainan Road." The hesitation on Su Zicheng's face dissipated cleanly, and he listened attentively, Li Xiaoyi's heart gradually relaxed, and then said: "The six princes of Wu Di inherited the throne, but the process was confusing, and it was Wu Guifei who served people with beauty, and the prince of Wu Di was the son, long, and virtuous, and had to flee out of the Taiping MansionThis is one, two, in the past two hundred years, the world has been divided, and the conquest continues, today is the Yue country, tomorrow is the Wu country, the word "loyalty" is not so particular, if the prince can clearly show the world, regardless of the region, origin, the world as a whole, meritorious reward, there is a punishment, from the beam to push and Huainan Road, the heart of the two scholars, to expand the territory and merge the territory, you can get twice the result with half the effort, What did the prince say? ”
Su Zicheng smiled knowingly and nodded: "How do you think you can use this fold?" ”
"Naturally, the wider the spread, the better, but this is the teaching?????? In my opinion, this year's imperial examination strategy is better to let those scholars comment on this excerpt. Li Xiaoqi looked at Su Zicheng and said with a smile, Su Zicheng was stunned, pondered for a moment, and responded with a smile: "That's ?????? In one fell swoop, it is the most widely circulated in the world, and almost everyone who reads books knows it, that is, the previous imperial examination questions, and this excerpt will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop, just let those who agree with this excerpt refute this excerpt ??????"
"This is the attitude of the prince brothers." Li Xiaoqi smiled and said,
"Well, the Guo family has been moving too often recently, and the imperial examination is the grand ceremony of the country?????? That's it! Su Zicheng raised his voice and asked Dongping to send pen and ink in, Dongping put the pen and inkstone paper and ink, just wanted to study ink, glanced at Su Zicheng, and then glanced at Li Xiaoyi, who would stand next to him leisurely, and lowered his hand and retreated, Su Zicheng raised his chin at Li Xiaoyi, and motioned for her to study ink, Li Xiaoqi secretly took a breath, stepped forward with a smile, poured some water in the inkstone, lowered his eyes, and concentrated on grinding the ink of the inkstone, and almost pounced out.
Su Zicheng wrote the envelope, took a bamboo tube and sealed it, handed it to the long-term, and ordered Su Ziyi to send it over, Dongping took the inkstone full of inkstone and went out, thought about it, washed the inkstone with his own hands, and went to Nanning to talk.
In the afternoon, the journey was a little tight, Nanning came over to ask a few times, Li Xiaoqi insisted on sitting on the car and bumping, only saying that he was afraid of riding a horse, and refused to sit on the horse again.
This section of the road went straight to the end of the unit, only to enter the Rong Xiang Station, Li Xiaoqi did not wait for Su Zicheng to send someone over, so he first sent Begonia over to say hello to Nanning, saying that he was tired, he didn't eat, he had already rested, Nanning got the letter, so he had to report to Su Zicheng, Su Zicheng listened with a gloomy face, without saying a word, Nanning bowed down and stood for a long time, Su Zicheng waved his hand and ordered: "Let Dayu pick up what the girl likes to eat and send it over." Nanning hurriedly agreed, and retreated lightly.
