There is a merit forest in the Shangyin School Palace, do not look at the indecent manners, only Mr. Ji Shang can enter, Xu Fengnian has studied the geographical map of the School Palace, and he is familiar with it, he thought that he would be blocked along the way, and there were many twists and turns, but when he entered the stele forest, the world was lonely and only the snow was left, and his footprints left a string of small pits on the snow, and then they were covered by continuous snowflakes. Before, he went to the small building in Lianhu, where his second sister studied and lived, and sat for a while, but no one came forward to point fingers. Xu Fengnian walked into the stele forest that recorded the merits of the ancestors and sages, the stele is of different sizes, and the inscriptions on the stele are mostly epitaphs, but the tomb is often not behind the stele, the stele forest is like an alternative history, one = pages and pages are quietly erected on the mountain behind the Shangyin School Palace. Xu Fengnian squatted down in front of an extraordinarily slender stone stele, wiped off the snow with his sleeves, the epitaph on the stele had the rich charm of the jade chopsticks before the Great Qin, Xu Fengnian looked up at the falling snow floc, picked a relatively majestic stone tablet next to him and sat back, I don't know how long it took, opened his eyes, a petite figure in a cloak staggered, his arm pulled a bamboo basket covered with cotton cloth, walked hard and hard, passed Xu Fengnian's side, only to squat, as if he saw a pair of black eyes hanging in the air, frightened to sit on the ground, Xu Fengnian stood up and shook off the snow all over his body, with an apologetic face, and reached out to pull up the croissant girl who did not know each other, He thought that the little girl would walk straight over like this, never thought that she happened to stop in front of this stone monument, so that she suffered a false alarm, the horn girl patted her chest, glared at the white-headed enemy with a haunted look, Xu Fengnian once asked, only to know that the Tao of the Tao is not a book, the little girl's surname is Ouyang, her ancestral home is Takioka, the inscription behind her is a sacrificial text made by her father, Xu Weixiong tears every time he reads it, Xu Fengnian thought that the words are how transcendent and unconventional, after reading it, he knew that the Tao is like a family letter, like a short nagging trivial in the family, and he didn't feel it at first, he only felt simple and plain, and he left it behind after reading it。 Now after the crown, when an accident occurs, I help the little girl wipe off the snow chips, and when I go back to read the sacrificial text, I actually purse the corners of my mouth, not daring to let the little girl see her face. She is still innocent years, her ancestors died, she was not born, naturally there is not much personal pain, she grew up in the school palace, and carefree, after she put down the basket, she took care of herself and broke her thoughts, Xu Fengnian only knew that today is her grandfather's sacrifice day, this place is indeed a tomb, but her father and mother traveled far away, so she told her to come to the grave today, and there was no unexpected snowfall, so that the little girl suffered a lot, and scolded God countless times along the way. The little girl finally caught a guy who could speak, and whispered to the tombstone: "Mr. Xu, whom I admire the most, once said that my father's sacrificial text is from the bottom of his heart, and there is not a single word deliberately grave, it is a good sacrificial text, and I don't know much about these, I just think that my father writes simply and plainly, just like him teaches and teaches, and always can't say the big truth, so many years in the school palace has not taught a few proud protégés who can do it, if it weren't for Xu everyone to say a good word for him, the family would not be able to open the pot a few years ago." The box where my mother pretended to be a dowry is getting more and more empty, and when I was a child, I could secretly pin a hairpin and jade hairpin on my head while my father and mother were away, but it won't work now. ”

Xu Fengnian smiled softly: "You will still be a child." ”

The sheep's horn girl surnamed Ouyang glanced at her, "You have a poisonous mouth sometimes, like eating a green snake centipede scorpion, you can make the Qi prince of our school palace angry, but you are also stupid, how can you talk to a woman like this, I see, you must not have been pleasing to Sister Yu, right?"

Xu Fengnian, who was squatting, put his hands on his chest, and said with a smile: "I ate the green snake centipede, and you ate the crow?"

The little girl was smart, raised her fist, and pretended to be fierce, "You are a crow's mouth!"

Xu Fengnian smiled and narrowed his eyes, at this moment, his eyes were narrow and spiritual, and his whole handsome face was full of warmth, it was hard to imagine that this was the feminine and domineering Beiliang No. 1 gentleman back then. Public cultivation is the most able to experience a person's eyesight, when others sharpen their heads and want to jump into the officialdom dye vat, Xu Fengnian has already seen all the bizarre shows in the vat. Although the sheep horn girl next to him behaves like a woman, like a child king, but the clothes are thin, and the overly loose clothes on her body at this time are even more dilapidated, and her family background is obviously not as good as her peers on the edge of Fozhang Lake. Although Shangyin School Palace has been a holy place for learning since ancient times, since a hundred schools of thought contended, there must be disputes, for example, during the Spring and Autumn Rebellion, the military family was particularly prosperous, even if it was a generation of indiscriminate people, they could be snatched away by the Spring and Autumn States as a hero who could turn the tide and fall, but at that time, this wave of blind robbery was really missed by several countries. For example, today's Dading, the scene of scholars saving the country has long ceased to be the grand occasion of the year, most of Mr. Jishang and Jixia students are dormant, and it is inevitable to be entangled in firewood, rice, oil, salt, and flies.

The croissant lifted the basket and asked, "Will you come with me?"

Xu Fengnian shook his head, "I'm about to leave the Academy." ”

She wrinkled the delicate brows that already had a pair of willow leaf rudiments, and looked down at the bamboo basket, the poor child is in charge early, and the ancestor food in the basket cannot be wasted, but she has a small appetite, although it is not easy to be bad in winter, after all, the meal is warm, and the taste is bad, of course, the main thing is that she feels that it is really boring to walk this two miles alone, and it is better to have a talking companion on the return journey than to be desolate and desolate alone. Xu Fengnian smiled, "If you don't mind me eating white food, I'll go with you." ”

The Sheep's Horn snapped her fingers gracefully, still with the same playful mantra: "Yes." ”

On the way back from the snowstorm, the horn girl stepped on a pair of brocade boots with a good texture weaver, but for many years without changing, the satin silk was worn out to withstand the wind and rain, from home to this moral forest, it was almost soaked, the little girl was annoyed that she was in a hurry to cook, and forgot to change her shoes when she went out, both distressed and self-blamed, but thinking of the upcoming New Year, her mother promised to buy her a new pair of shoes in the first month, and she was looking forward to it. Xu Fengnian took the bamboo basket, let her walk behind her, picked up a big living person in the stele forest, the little girl was very interested, and did not pay a shallow taboo, self-reported home, all said some old things about Chen sesame rotten grain, said that her grandfather was a big writer of the old Northern Han Dynasty with two sleeves and a breeze, and made a splendid article, but on the eve of the destruction of the country, he said a few fair words to a general surnamed Xu in the temple, and was dismissed, and almost beheaded。 The little girl is not afraid of revealing her shortcomings, Xu Fengnian followed her to the two-entry courtyard where she lived with a few gentlemen, and most of the window paper of the rest of the school palace sacrificial wine was also festive, but there was only a grape in front of her house, and there was no greenery after the winter, only the vine branches were left, which was even more bleak, the little girl was poor and happy, probably following her father's temperament, and looked up and smiled when she walked through the grape trellis: " It's not the right time for you to come, it's good in summer, pick off two or three strings, go to the Buddha palm lake for an hour, it's so delicious that the heavenly peaches can't be compared, that is, to attract mosquitoes at night, when the family is in the cold, my father always asks me to shake a fan for him to catch mosquitoes, I am not very happy. ”

There are two rooms in the inner room, a small stove room is carved out of the narrow corridor outside, the sheep's horn girl changed a pair of boots, set up a stove, put the soaked boots on the edge of the stove, and then went to uncover the pot and warm food, let Xu Fengnian take care of himself, he carried a small bench and sat at the door, and the corner of his eye could see the corner of the little girl's "boudoir", a small table and a small cabinet, simple and clean.

The sky is getting twilight, just the snow is reflected, a little brighter than usual, the rest of the houses in the courtyard are closed to block the wind and snow, Xu Fengnian is looking, squeaked, opened the door, and ran out of the childish child who was knocked to the ground by the sheep's horns by the lake before, with red lips and white teeth, and when he grows up, he will probably be a handsome scholar with elegant bones, the little boy does not hold grudges, he originally thought that after eating, he ran to the door to find the girl who was a childhood sweetheart, even if he didn't speak, he even had to risk being beaten by her, as long as he looked at it a few times. But when the child saw the stranger who annoyed Qi Gongzi in the pavilion, he was a little timid, standing at the door, and lost his ground. A middle-aged man holding an ancient scroll and chanting softly came to the door somehow, followed his son's line of sight and saw Xu Fengnian sitting on a small bench, thought about it for a while, held the book in one hand, crossed the threshold in a dashing manner, approached the door of Ouyang's house, and said with a smile: "Little Muyu, there is a guest at home?"

When the elegant man spoke politely, he smiled and nodded with Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian also stood up, and said politely: "I have seen Mr. Jishang." ”

This statement is decent, the advantage is that there will be no mistakes, the government and the opposition are laughing and saying that those who sweep the floor in the palace can be honored as Mr. when they go outside. The sheep's horn girl, nicknamed Little Wooden Fish, poked out her little head from the stove room and said with a smile: "Uncle Qin is good." ”

After a few polite greetings, the gentleman surnamed Qin turned around and left, and the sound was slightly louder when he closed the door. Only then did the horn girl snort: "This guy is almost Qi Shence's royal helper, and he gives poems to each other every once in a while. Over the years, I have earned a lot of moisturizing pens, and I ran to my house for three days to say that I was going to move away, saying that it was not as far as the neighbors, how to be reluctant, but every time I said it, I would say that I lived in a private house and was not far from the king's sacrificial wine, hey, it was with my father and mother to show off his family background. ”

Xu Fengnian took the rice bowl, chewed slowly, looked up and smiled at the little girl who was standing to eat: "I want to see others." ”

The little girl rolled her eyes and said, "You have a lot of reason." ”

Xu Fengnian suddenly took a turn for the worse, and said with a wicked smile: "But the matter of poetry and harmony, now in addition to parting and giving friends, what I do the most is the literati and the famous prostitutes in the Qinglou, and I don't know who you are as an uncle Qin and the eldest prince of Qi." ”

The little girl blushed when she heard this, but her eyes were filled with sincere joy, and she smiled, "You are really bad. ”

After eating, the little girl patted her round belly very unladylike and burped, Xu Fengnian took the dishes and chopsticks and was about to go to the stove room, the sheep's horn girl looked at the shocked expression of the gods and ghosts, and Xu Fengnian, who was holding the bowl and chopsticks with both hands, smiled: "The gentleman is far away from cooking, do you think I look like me?"

The little girl said with a sad face: "Sister Yu met you when she met you, it was really unladylike." ”

Xu Fengnian smiled: "Yes." ”

Slowly washed the dishes and chopsticks, Xu Fengnian used his sleeves as a rag to dry his hands, the little girl sat on the edge of the stove and held her cheeks in a daze, Xu Fengnian was still sitting on the small bench, the little girl glanced at the snow outside the door, and sighed helplessly: "If it doesn't snow, you can count the stars at night." I can count to more than a thousand, isn't it amazing?"

Xu Fengnian nodded with a smile and said, "Awesome." ”

The sheep's horn pouted, "No sincerity." ”

Xu Fengnian looked out of the door with her, was silent together, and said softly after a long time: "When I was a child, I heard adults say that the starry sky at night is a big lantern full of fireflies. ”

The little girl smiled and said, "I see fireflies in the summer, and I see one and kill one by one." ”

Xu Fengnian glanced at the smiling sheep's horn, "Whoever marries you in the future will be unlucky." ”

The little girl held her cheeks and said sadly: "Who said it wasn't." ”

In the twilight, an old man slowly walked into the courtyard, with a green shirt and bastard shoes, and a mutton fat jade pendant hanging from his waist. There are thousands of people in the school palace, and the sheep horn girl thinks that she has never forgotten it, but she still doesn't recognize this old man, Xu Fengnian knows it, a big stinky chess basket who thinks he is a top national player, and he fought with Xu Xiao on the top of Qingliang Mountain back then, and he is good at regretting chess. However, this old man is the master of the second sister, and he is the first person in the world who is proficient in the battle for kings.

In the side eyes of the sheep's horn girl, the old man sat down with a big grin and asked shamelessly, "Little girl, do you still have food?"

Although the little girl was spicy, her tutor was actually very good and strict, so she got up and smiled: "Old man, my family has it." ”

Xu Fengnian reached out and quietly snatched the jade pendant from the waist of the old man who had almost become the great sacrificial wine of the Shangyin School Palace, and handed it to the little girl, "The worthless white jade leftovers are just the food money for me and the old man." ”

The old man's face was as usual, he smiled and nodded, not giving the little girl a chance to refuse, "If you don't accept it, I won't eat it." ”

The little girl shook her head vigorously and said seriously, "Let's not be so cheesy, okay?"

Xu Fengnian and Wang Xijiu looked at each other and smiled, Xu Fengnian did not return the jade pendant to the sacrificial wine, the latter waited for the little girl to go to the stove room to make food, and asked calmly: "I have six hundred people, Beiliang dare to eat?"

Xu Fengnian thought for a while, "There are only those who starve to death, and I have never heard of those who are dying." ”

The old gentleman shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Not necessarily." ”

Xu Fengnian said with a smile: "These people are the most stubborn to be able to go to Beiliang, whether half of them are said in two, and they can't support Beiliang." ”

The old gentleman hummed and nodded, "That's right." ”
