The next day, Li Xiaoqi slept lazily, got up and lazily washed up and had breakfast, shook around the yard a few times, came out of the yard for a while, walked out of the courtyard, passed through the corner gate, and looked for Mr. Fan to talk.

Mr. Fan just came back from a trip outside, saw Li Xiaoqi coming, greeted her with a smile and asked her to sit down and drink tea, Lao Changtou squatted next to the red clay stove under the eaves porch, slowly washing the pot and washing the cup, looking at the boiling water, making tea and sending it up, Mr. Fan let Li Xiaoqi take a cup, blew it, took a sip of tea, squinted his eyes and tasted it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction: "Good tea!" Li Xiaoqi looked down at the scattered and different sizes of tea leaves in the cup, smelled it, turned his head to look at Mr. Fan, Mr. Fan drank a few more sips with a face full of enjoyment, put down the cup, turned his head to look at Li Xiaoqi and said seriously: "Children have nothing, if you can drink such tea every day, it will be a blessing, and after a hundred years, I am afraid that even such tea will be difficult to drink." ”

Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, looked at Mr. Fan and said with a smile: "Mr. thinks too much, Sister Fan and eldest brother are both loyal and duty-bound people, waiting for Mr. to drink a cup of tea and light wine, and the sacrifices will continue at four o'clock after a hundred years, these two things will be done thoughtfully and properly." ”

Mr. Fan motioned to Lao Changtou to refill the water, turned his head, looked at Li Xiaoqi with gentle eyes, sighed and said: "It's hard for you, don't be like her, a woman, with long hair and short knowledge." Li Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows, pursed his lips and smiled, and Mr. Fan laughed along: "You are different from them, you are not a woman." The two laughed for a while, Li Xiaoqi picked up the cup and drank the tea slowly, this laugh, I only felt a lot more happy, Mr. Fan also picked up the cup, the two slowly tasted a cup of tea, Mr. Fan straightened up and turned to Li Xiaoqi and said solemnly: "I have something to entrust to you!" ”

"You say." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly straightened up and replied, Mr. Fan sighed slowly, leaned back on the rocking chair, looked at the boxy blue sky over the patio, and paused for a long time before slowly saying: "Fan family, there is no one left, the next generation of men, Ming Jing is the oldest, ten years old, and Ming Dong, Ming Rui and Pu Wa, these four children, if there is a talent that can be created, please take care of it in the future, no matter which one, can support my Fan family, that is the blessing of the Fan family, if there is no talent to create, don't be reluctant, just let them go, this is the fate of the Fan family." Li Xiaoqi simply nodded and agreed: "Okay!" Mr. Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, stretched out a hand to touch the cup with a relaxed face, drank a few sips of tea with enjoyment, put down the cup, and gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers rhythmically, leisurely. Li Xiaoqi looked at him, slowly drank the tea in the cup, stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. is slowly relaxing, I went out for a walk." ”

"Well, go ahead!" Mr. Fan waved his hand casually, Li Xiaoqi walked out of the courtyard, returned to Li's house through the corner gate, stood in the courtyard and thought about it, turned around and went back to the half-acre courtyard to change his clothes, seeing that the hour was not early, he called Mama Zhang to accompany him, and the two got into the car in the second gate, and went to the royal street to see the suburban sacrifice car driving into the city and pardoning.

The royal street has long been sealed, no idlers are allowed to approach, Li Xiaoyi's car went around along the streets and alleys next to it, and it didn't take long to reach the front of the royal street, the closest to the mouth of an alley in Xuande Building, Li Xiaoqi and Zhang Mama got out of the car, along the edge of the royal street, after each family watched the shed, until they walked to the front of a shed, standing near the mouth of the shed, looking around, seeing Li Xiaoqi coming, busy coming over, this is the first time in these years that the Liang Wangfu set up a shed, in previous years, the prince had to accompany the sacrifice, and there was no other master in the house, This look at the shed is also in vain, more than a month earlier this year, the prince instructed him to build a shed, saying that the fifth master wants to come over to see the excitement, in the past, almost every year to be able to build the shed to the top of the Ningyi Hou Guo Mansion, this year had to be next to the Liang Wangfu to see the shed in the second place.

Li Xiaoqi smiled and thanked Chang Jin, took Mama Zhang up the stairs, entered the watchhouse, the shed is not big, only two zhang wide and one zhang deep, there are armchairs and low tables in the middle, and there are seven or eight plates of dim sum candied fruit on the front, and there are light silk curtains hanging in the direction of Xuande Gate, Li Xiaoqi stopped two or three steps away from the gauze curtain, looked ahead through the curtain, followed up with a long approach, pointed to the opposite watch shed and introduced with a smile: "Opposite us, it is the watch shed of Ning Wangfu, Princess Ning and the lord of Roujia, There are also a few girls from the Wei family who have not come out of the pavilion to watch the excitement inside, next to the Ning Wangfu to watch the shed, is the shed of the Shui family, Zhenning Hou and Jingjiang Hou two families have built a big shed, and then the next one is the shed of Zuo Prime Minister's house, and next to us, is the shed of the Guo family, Ning Yihou, Ning Anhou, Ning Yuanhou three families also built a big shed, in previous years, our house did not come over, this shed has not been built, the Guo family's watch shed is set up in our place, this year had to move a little. ”

Changjin said in detail, Li Xiaoqi listened attentively, turned his head and looked at the Guo family's watch booth next door, the two watch houses were hanging with light yarns, and the shadows were too thin to see clearly, only to see the pearl and green light flickering frequently, Li Xiaomi turned his head and thanked Chang Jin with a smile: "Thank you for taking care of you, it has caused you a lot of trouble." ”

"Fifth Master, where is this! I wish our house was getting more and more lively every year, and the shed was getting bigger and bigger every year. Changjin smiled, Li Xiaoqi frowned, smiled and didn't answer, looked at her closely, and said with a smile: "Fifth master, let's watch the excitement here, I still have something to do, go down first." Li Xiaoqi hurriedly smiled and sent two steps, watched him get off the stage, turned around, looked left and right, sat down on the only armchair in the middle, and the little girl standing in the corner of the stage with her hands down sent the tea lightly, Mama Zhang took it and gave it to Li Xiaoyi.

The direction of the city gate was already lively, and bursts of cheers were heard, sandwiched between the steady sound of drums and the sound of neat horses' hooves, followed by a crisp and abnormal sound of the whip, and the sound of the whip sounded like a rhythmic music.

Li Xiaoqi slowly drank tea, while listening intently to the movement in the distance, heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching, only then stood up, took two steps forward, stopped two steps away from the curtain, and looked at the scene on the street condescendingly, Mama Zhang also quietly leaned forward half a step, Li Xiaoqi turned around sensitively, and smiled at Mama Zhang: "Mama also came close to see the excitement." Mama Zhang thanked her with a smile, fell half a step behind Li Xiaoyi, and looked down with a probe with great interest.

The two elephants in the front guide, the brocade draped on the body is woven with complicated patterns, the back is hunched with a golden lotus seat, the head, face and feet are decorated with golden glittering cages and other things, there are two small elephant chasers walking on the side of the elephant trunk, Zhang Mama recited a Buddha with both hands, and said with a smile: "I still see an elephant for the first time, this is a great etiquette." ”

Immediately behind the elephant was a team of knights in full armor, divided into blue, yellow, red, black, and white, each holding a wide flag, a dragon fan, a halberd and a spear, etc., but also golden, majestic, Li Xiaoqi looked at it with great interest, this royal majesty is really a little interesting. Mama Zhang gently pulled Li Xiaomi, and whispered excitedly and nervously: "Maybe there will be an armor-breaking dance in the back." As soon as the words fell, after the horse team, four big carts side by side played drum music, followed by the big car, is the black clothes and black armor of the warrior, while marching, while the rhythm of the dance in the hand of the spear, the action is like a dancing god, but the chopping is full of awe, Zhang Mama whispered and exclaimed, after the samurai, is to accompany the military attache to the suburbs outside the city to sacrifice, bright clothes, serious face riding on the horse, behind the civil official, also riding on the horse, Beiping is known for its strong force, everyone rides a horse.

After the hundred officials, Su Ziyi is on the left, Su Zicheng is on the right, all of them are wearing a black background Ming Huang dragon pattern silk dress, riding side by side in the middle of the royal street, behind, is the emperor's Da'an Yuan, Da'an Yuan passed by, both sides of the royal street were silent, Mama Zhang's face was respectful and stood with her head hanging her head, Li Xiaoqi tilted her head to look at her, turned her head, and looked at Su Zicheng on the horse condescendingly.

Li Xiaoqi suddenly seemed to be watching the British royal parade, at that time there was someone behind her, on the balcony of the hotel, hugging her, talking about love, he smiled more brightly than the parade, the old couple on the balcony next door held the camera at himself, he leaned over and kissed her, it was the time of warmth and charm, Li Xiaoqi shuddered lightly, watching other people's performances, how could it not be a performance for people to see. Li Xiaoqi shook his head, shook his head again, turned around and sat back in the chair, picked up the cup and drank the tea slowly, Zhuang Zhou Mengdie, or Butterfly Dream Zhuang Zhou?

Mama Zhang retreated to Li Xiaoyi's side, looked at her with concern and asked in a low voice, "Fifth Master, your face is not good, where is it uncomfortable?" ”

"I'm fine, I just think the majesty is too much, and I can't breathe." Li Xiaoqi lowered her eyes and whispered, Mama Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and explained: "This is also common sense, the first time I entered the palace, I was so scared that I couldn't speak, the fifth master didn't know, every year the new science and technology scholars came to see, every year they made jokes, there was a second-class jinshi one year, I don't know how far away from the emperor, kowtowed, I couldn't stand up with weak legs, the new science and technology scholars in the hall stood up, and he lay on the ground, it stands to reason that such a loss of honor is a big crime, but the emperor is the most generous and sage, let people help him up, feed him a few sips of tea, also smiled and comforted him, said don't be afraid, and let people send him back, don't embarrass him, you see, the emperor is really generous, I haven't seen him lose his temper with anyone. Mama Zhang chattered, Li Xiaoyi's heart moved slightly, looked at her and asked, "Mama used to be an errand in the palace?" ”

"Yes, I used to be on an errand in the Ci'en Palace, but later the queen left, and the people in the Ci'en Palace were divided into the mansions of King Ning and King Liang." Mama Zhang replied with a hint of pride, Li Xiaoqi owed a debt, and respectfully saluted: "It's me who is rude." ”

"Fifth Master, where are you talking about this? To tell the truth, when I went to the Fifth Master's Mansion, my life was much more vivid, and it was a great blessing to be able to follow the Fifth Master. Mama Zhang's eyes were full of smiles, Li Xiaoqi looked at her deep smile, raised her eyebrows, drank tea with a smile, and didn't speak again.
