Li Xiaoqi held the stove in one hand, and got out of the car with a cloak in the other, Mr. Liang and Shui Yan were also getting down from the back car, seeing Li Xiaoyi, they were busy greeting with a smile, Li Xiaoqi stopped his steps, turned his head and waited for the two to come, next to a car in front, a young man in his twenties, extremely handsome and handsome, with a kind smile between the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, had already hurried up to meet him, and bowed to Su Zicheng to the end, and said with a spring breeze: "The second master is fine, my father and uncles are waiting for the holy car outside, I am asked to make a special trip here to wait for the second master, and the second master is here, please. ”
"Well, has the uncle arrived?"
"Not yet." The young man turned around and let Su Zicheng go, and greeted Shui Yan, Mr. Liang, and Li Xiaoqi with a smile, but his eyes kept hovering over Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi smiled and nodded in return, this is Guo Neyu, the second son of Ningyi Hou Guo Minda, she has already peeked at several descendants of the Guo family, who knows who very clearly, Li Xiaoqi didn't seem to feel his scuscitation, only turned his head and Shui Yan whispered and laughed, followed Su Zicheng casually, turned the door of the Daoyue Cave, and arrived at a spacious and abnormal courtyard, Li Xiaoqi looked around, This is the entrance of the gate, the shadow wall has been demolished, there is about a moon gate on both sides or something, anyway, there is nothing empty and spacious now, from the gate to the main hall at a glance, Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows slightly, Mr. Liang and Shui Yan also turned their heads to look around, Shui Yan knocked on Guo Neyu with the folding fan in his hand, and asked with a smile: "That old ginkgo tree has also been felled?" ”
"Not really! is on the edge of the shadow wall, how to place it is blocked by the car, and my uncle let people cut it down, the tree posture is simple and elegant, but it is a pity. Guo Neyu replied casually, saying that it was a pity, but Li Xiaoqi didn't hear half a pity, compared with picking up the holy car, it's not a pity!
Su Zicheng was talking to several elderly people next to him, bending down slightly, his attitude was extremely modest, Li Xiaoqi glanced at him, at this time, it looked like a corporal of Lixian, Mr. Liang looked at Su Zicheng with Li Xiaoyi's gaze, and whispered with a smile: "The one on the far right is the uncle's enlightenment Mr. Wang Laofuzi, who is almost eighty years old, I heard that his temper is still as stubborn as when he was young, no matter how poor he is, he doesn't accept other people's things, it is something given by the two masters, and it has to be a festival, and there is a reason to say it, And the silver is not collected, and the valuable is not collected. Li Xiaoqi looked at the old master Wang with a smile, and sure enough, he was like his nature, dry and thin, like a craggy lake stone, it turned out that this was the old master Wang who sent the festival and asked for oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, Mr. Liang whispered to Li Xiaoqi to introduce the people standing in the courtyard in twos and threes, and did not say much, Guo Nefang, the eldest son of Ningyi Hou Guo Minda, respectfully led Su Ziyi in, Su Ziyi was followed by a man in his twenties, with a square appearance, and Shui Yan was a little like Xiao, Shui Yan was standing near the door of the Moon Cave, Hurriedly stepped forward to greet Su Ziyi, and then bowed his hand to Guo Nefang, and finally turned his head to look at the man next to Su Ziyi, and greeted him affectionately, this must be the eldest son of Zhenning Hou Shui Qingming, who is the eldest son of the eldest prince since childhood, and I heard that the two have a very good relationship.
Li Xiaoqi looked at the two of them, and suddenly had a strange thought, this Su Ziyi is such a daughter, just like that, there is not even a concubine in the back house•••••• Li Xiaoyi raised his hand violently and pressed it between his eyebrows, he couldn't think about it anymore, haha! That's a terrible thought!
Su Ziyi greeted everyone with a gentle attitude, walked to the old master Wang, and Su Zicheng held the old master Wang alone, first said a few words to the old master Wang, and then greeted everyone with a smile, and just said a few words, the whip sounded outside the gate, and the holy car arrived, and everyone stopped talking and laughing, and they didn't need to be guided, they each returned to their places and stood up, waiting to meet the holy car. Li Xiaoqi and Mr. Liang retreated to the last corner of the crowd, knelt down with the singing, and knelt down with the singing, lying on the ground with their hands, waiting for the arrival of the holy car.
A neat and brisk footsteps came, Li Xiaoqi secretly raised his head from the crowd, looked at the gate, at the gate, Ningyi Hou Guo Minda, Ning Yuan Hou Guo Minrui half bowed their waists, sideways in front of the lead, behind a wide rosewood gold-clad cart has unloaded the horses, pulled by eight sturdy chamberlains, slowly entered the vermilion gate that had long been removed from the threshold, the car came in a shot, followed by a slightly smaller Huanghuali silver car, the two cars stopped together, on the front car, The emperor wore a black background Ming Yellow Sea dragon pattern silk sable cloak, with a gentle smile on his face, holding Guo Minda's hand, slowly got out of the car, behind the car, Guo Hou a bright yellow silk sable cloak, wearing a bright and dazzling phoenix crown, holding the hand of the palace maid, also followed out of the car, behind Guo Hou, the three princes were hugged by the chamberlain out of the car, the emperor first walked in front of the old master Wang, bent down to help the old master Wang, and said with a smile: "You are an old minister of the former dynasty, and you are old, I have already said that there is no need to make this big gift." ”
"Rites must not be abolished, and must not be wasted!" Old Master Wang's face was full of gratitude, but he insisted on kowtowing twice, and only then stood up under the half-frame and half-support of the emperor and the chamberlain, Li Xiaoqi was peeking at the helplessness on the emperor's face,
"Get up, it's cold, there's no need to be polite." The emperor spoke, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly followed everyone, stood up without moving forward, everyone got up and retreated, and let go of the passage in the middle, Guo Minda and Guo Minrui led forward, the emperor turned around and waved at the three princes, Guo Hou hurriedly pushed the three princes over, the emperor held the hands of the three princes, Guo Hou followed closely behind the emperor, with a modest smile on his face, and then behind, it was Lu Hua and Lu Feng, Li Xiaoqi looked at Lu Hua with a respectful face and Lu Feng, whose eyes were rolling around, looking around, and hurriedly turned his head, if he let Lu Feng see her, If he doesn't dare to raise his hand to say hello to her!
Lu Feng had already seen Li Xiaoyi, his eyes were full of excitement, and he wanted to run over, glanced at Lu Hua with a serious face, and didn't dare to move, so he had to follow the eldest brother honestly, followed behind the emperor and the third prince, passed Li Xiaoyi, and desperately squeezed his eyebrows at her, Li Xiaoqi ignored him, and honestly followed everyone all the way into the main hall. The queen was followed by Ning Yuanhou's wife, Yu, and moved from the side to the back.
The emperor sat down, drank a cup of tea, and under the guidance of Marquis Ning Yuan, got up and walked to the back garden.
Along the way, the layers are clear, Guo Minda and Guo Minrui lead forward, the emperor is holding the three princes, Su Ziyi and Su Zicheng are half a step behind to accompany, Guo Nefang and Guo Neyu and other Guo family children let Lu Hua and Lu Feng follow closely behind the Su brothers, and then there are several cabinet Hanlin who are left and right and the ministers who come to serve them, and finally, it is the accompanying guests like Mr. Liang and Li Xiaoyi, Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the water rock who was playing with the fan cover, and followed leisurely, Shui Yan understood, walked half a step, approached Li Xiaoyi, and said in a low voice: " This is the glory of the Guo family, and my eldest brother and I are better behind. Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, looking at the women servants in the near and far distances, this is also the glory of the current queen's family, the former queen's family is naturally low-key and silent, no wonder the Shui family only came to Shui Yan and Shui Li.
It is also appropriate to fall in the end, a few people walked slowly, talking in a low voice about the scenery and architecture of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Mr. Liang saw what he liked, and unified the sentence 'extremely rare', Shui Yan heard 'extremely rare', and immediately followed the sentence 'extremely rare', Li Xiaoqi looked at the two people who praised everything seriously, with a serious face, and then kept nodding and appreciating the two: "The two have unique visions, and every sentence is insightful!" Mizuki looked at the three of them and blinked for a moment, smiled tightly, and simply shook the folding fan.
After walking for half an hour, everyone hugged the emperor to ascend to a high place, and entered a large warm pavilion with open windows on all sides, and several small warm pavilions were connected with verandahs around the big warm pavilion, and the windows were also wide open.
Li Xiaoqi entered the warm pavilion and sighed comfortably, so the windows were open, and the warm pavilion was still warm like spring, but there was no charcoal basin in the four places, Mr. Liang stood in the warm pavilion and turned around for half a circle, and sighed in a low voice at Li Xiaoqi: "Look at it, such a prince's house, does it make you and me and other scholars lose their spirits?" Li Xiaoqi stretched out his hand and touched the pillar of the warm pavilion, and replied with a smile: "Just this pavilion, will make you lose your spirit?" Zhengcheng's wisteria house, isn't there such a sandwich wall? Just burn more charcoal, you can afford it. ”
Shui Yan and Shui Yan laughed, Shui Yan stepped forward and patted Mr. Liang and smiled: "Xiao Wu is a scholar, she is ••••••" Shui Yan coughed back the words behind, Mr. Liang seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said: "It stands to reason that you will recite poetry couplets in a while, have you prepared a few poems?" ”
Li Xiaoqi stretched out his hands: "How can I chant poetry against me!" Mr. Liang looked at Li Xiaoqi suspiciously, and Li Xiaoqi hurriedly explained: "I saw it on the door of the house, I really saw it." Shui Yan turned his head to look at the two of them, leaned over and asked, "What is it?" What do you see on people's doors? ”
"It's a couplet, Xiao Mi sent me a couplet when he was in the Taiping Mansion, there is a heart for good, although good is not rewarded, no intention for evil, although evil is not punished." Mr. Liang replied with a smile, and Lu Yan read it slowly and smiled: "It's a little interesting." Shui Li looked at Li Xiaoqi intently, and Li Xiaoqi hurriedly explained: "It's the couplet in front of the Yama Palace, and I don't remember where I saw it." Shui Li said with a smile: "It's good, it's too demanding." ”
"That is, people say that filial piety does not matter what the heart does, and obscenity does not matter what the heart does, this is the right reason." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly smiled and followed, and Mr. Liang also laughed: "This is right, the world is changing, and it is good to be able to respond to things in a timely manner." ”
