"Meng Liulang of Lumen Mountain! I've read your poems. ”

Li Bai suddenly came to his senses, took a deep breath, and recited leisurely: "I don't know when I sleep in spring, and I smell birds everywhere." The sound of wind and rain comes at night, and the flowers fall to know how much. ”

The poem is natural and catchy.

In his early years, Meng Haoran lived in seclusion in the area of Lumen Mountain in Xiangyang, and made this "Spring Dawn" that later generations of children must memorize.

The Tang people love poetry.

In the admiration of poetry, there is a free and warm Tang Dynasty style. And the circulation of psalms can often also peek into the poet's temperament.

Qi Niang was enlightened at the age of three, so she was recited by her head and cheered: "My family Ah Lang said that Meng Langjun must be a wonderful person!" ”

Meng Haoran in the pavilion was a little embarrassed: "Actually, this poem was written casually when I overslept in Lumen Mountain when I was sleepy in spring. ”

Li Bai almost didn't laugh.

Qi Niang praised sincerely: "Then Meng Langjun must have slept very well!" The wind and rain all night were not woken up. ”

The little girl's eyes were bright, and her tone was full of envy, which made Meng Haoran unconsciously feel better, and she was busy inviting everyone into the pavilion.

Since his disciples rarely made friends with scribes outside, they couldn't help but look at Li Bai.

Li Bai was very frank, led Qi Niang into the pavilion, and sat on the stone bench on Meng Haoran's side: "Brother Meng came out to travel? Where are you going? ”

"yes. Coming out of Xiangyang, passing through Suizhou, I want to go to the Yellow Crane Tower in Jiangcheng to have a look. Passing through the good mountains and rivers of Anlu, I couldn't help but stay for a while. Meng Haoran said, and with an order from the servant behind him, the man opened the tea kettle and added ground tea cakes to the boiling water.

This is to invite the people to tea.

Tea is the national drink.

In the Tang Dynasty, the style of tea drinking among the aristocratic people far surpassed that of the Han and Wei dynasties, and the tasting of tea became more particular, and the phenomenon of porridge and tea boiled in a pot of green onions, ginger, dates, and orange peel was no longer restored. ①

Meng Haoran's method of boiling tea is extremely popular in the Tang Dynasty, imitating the "tea saint" Lu Yu to boil the tea powder. If there are conditions, add some pine flowers or orchids, and it will be more elegant for the literati.

Qi Niang looked around the tea kettle with great interest for a while, listening to the boiling water "goo" on the small fire, and her own stomach also screamed with "goo".

Li Youcheng: "Hahaha, Qi Niang is hungry again." ”

The word "again" is very subtle.

Qi Niang covered her stomach in annoyance, peeked at Meng Haoran, and then looked at Li Bai with a look that couldn't hide her desire for food.

Li Bai didn't have a problem with her, and Li Youcheng kept shouting that he wanted to get food for Qi Niang, so he had to agree.

Turning his head, he laughed with Meng Haoran: "Brother Meng, do you know that before going out, this hairy girl has already eaten a piece of Hu cake, sea bass soup with lettuce and mixed with cress." It's only been more than an hour, and in my opinion, it's underestimated to say that she has eight stomachs. ”

Qi Niang suddenly felt very shameless, her cheeks were flushed, and she raised her sword to poke Li Bai's buttocks.

Meng Haoran finally noticed that something was wrong.

He was born in a scholarly family and learned swordsmanship at the age of ten, so he naturally knew that a young girl of this age could not carry a sword at all, let alone use a sword as a weapon in one hand.

He looked at Li Bai in surprise: "Little friend, this is ...... Born a good seedling? ”

Li Bai easily prevented Qi Niang's sneak attack, grabbed the sword, pressed the person on the stone bench beside him and rubbed his brain: "When it comes to sword cultivation, understanding is more important, she just has more strength than ordinary people." So I ate a lot of food......"

Qi Niang struggled to reply: "I didn't eat much!" Where is there a lot of wine that Ah Lang drinks! ”

Li Bai: "......"

There's nothing wrong with that.

Meng Haoran saw that Li Bai couldn't say Qi Niang, so he persuaded him and said, "Twelve Lang's words are modest. In my opinion, Xiaoyou is a rare wonderful person. ”

Qi Niang smiled happily and asked expectantly: "Where is the wonder!" Where's wonderful! ”

Like a "meow" cat cub.

Meng Haoran laughed: "I heard that there is a female grandson in the pear orchard in Chang'an, who took the essence of the sword dance of the predecessors and created the 'Xihe Sword Dance', which overshadowed the eight thousand dancing girls in the palace. (2) In comparison, Qi Niang studied swordsmanship hard at a young age, although it is not gorgeous at first glance, but she can save people and save herself in times of crisis, isn't it wonderful. ”

Qi Niang listened to Meng Haoran's essay and crepe, and her mind was full of Gongsun's sword dance, which was very beautiful.

Even the eight thousand dancing girls in the palace can't compare, so it has to be a fairy descending to earth!

She hadn't seen a fairy yet.

Qi Niang immediately turned her head and asked Li Bai: "Ah Lang, when are we going to Chang'an?" ”

Li Bai was confused, what was she doing in Chang'an without a head or a brain, could it be that she had thin arms and legs, and now she wanted to go to the door to find Gongsun's sword skills?

Li Bai and Meng Haoran looked at each other, obviously misunderstanding Qi Niang's intentions.

Li Bai coughed lightly, touched his nose, and said confusedly: "It's still early, we will only participate in the township tribute of Jingzhao Mansion next summer, don't worry, you ...... Practice your sword first. ”

Qi Niang had no choice but to sigh, alas, it would take another year to see the fairy.

Meng Haoran heard Li Bai mention the township tribute, and asked with concern: "Twelve Lang wants to take the road of tribute?" Looking for the right client? ”

Li Bai smiled and shook his head: "There is no public recommendation to ask for trustees. ”

Meng Haoran was slightly stunned, and only then did he begin to look at Li Bai. However, Li Bai's temperament doesn't care about these.

Qi Niang opened her mouth instead: "Liulang, don't you take the test?" ”

Meng Haoran was hit by this intimate "Liulang", and he didn't mind that Qi Niang was not big or small, and said sincerely: "I don't have the chic and courage of Twelve Lang, I am still hesitating." ”

Qi Niang immediately instigated: "Go! Go with Ah Lang next year, and when you finish the Xianggong exam, you can take me to find the Gongsun clan! ”

Meng Haoran: "......"

Li Bai: "......"

This Qi Niang is on a par with Gongsun's today.

Fortunately, Li Youcheng and his servants came back at this time.

The main food is five-color cakes, spring cakes, and single-cage golden soufflés, which are commonly used by the Tang people; The meat is mainly carp, Suzhou purple shrimp and crab, and Li Youcheng added a stewed lamb before going out; In contrast, the dishes are more monotonous, with water chestnuts, leeks, courgettes and lotus roots all in season.

Because of the presence of Qi Niang, the chef of Li Mansion also prepared dim sum such as flower folded goose cake and flower cake (bean paste cake).

With so many dishes laid out, the entire stone table was quickly filled.

Li Bai raised the freshly brewed hot tea with both hands and said, "Everyone, replace wine with tea, and return with joy today!" ”

A group of people raised their glasses and then carefully blew hot air and began to sip. Qi Niang is not so particular, just take a big bite, and "woo" scalded out a small bubble.

Li Bai said "yes", or pulled down a leg of lamb and handed it to her: "Eat slowly." ”

Qi Niang immediately buried her head in the wind and gnawed on it.

With her taking the lead, the rest of the people also had an appetite. So, between the warm breeze and the chirping of birds, a group of Langjun learned Qi Niang or burritos, or meat, and feasted, so lively.

Qi Niang was eating deliciously, and a light curtain suddenly popped up in front of her.

[Gossip and science: Meng Haoran, who died because of fish, can really eat seven fish a day? (0/1 incomplete)】

Seeing this line of words, Qi Niang was dumbfounded, and the leg of mutton in her mouth almost fell off.

The little girl stiffened her neck, turned her head a little to look at Meng Haoran, and saw that there were really several carp with shaved bones on the plate in front of him.

Qi Niang was so frightened that she bounced up from the stone bench.

The movement was loud and sudden, and Lang Jun forgot to chew for the time being, and looked at Qi Niang. This also includes Meng Haoran.

Five-year-old Qi Niang didn't know that Meng Haoran in history died in the twenty-eighth year of Kaiyuan, that is, fourteen years later, because of a recurrence of poisonous sores caused by a fish.

She thought that Meng Haoran was about to be stuck by the fish and burp.

So, Qi Niang ran over with short legs and stuffed Meng Haoran's hard-shaved fish meat into her mouth.

Qi Niang: "Meow meow." "It's delicious!

Everyone: "......"

Li Bai felt that Qi Niang was really outrageous, and was about to reprimand, but Meng Haoran smiled and hurriedly stopped: "It's okay." It turns out that Qi Niang also likes to eat fish, so she can be a confidant with me. ”

Qi Niang's eyes were clever and cunning, and she pretended to ask casually: "Liulang also likes to eat fish?" I can eat six sticks a day, can you surpass me? ”

Li Bai was shocked when she heard this, when did this girl eat six fish in one day!

Meng Haoran recalled it carefully, and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I was ignorant, I stole seven fish, and because of the unbearable abdominal pain, Aya also hired a famous doctor. However, this is the only time, and now I can only eat a maximum of three fish. ”

Qi Niang: "Wow! ”

There are really people who love fish to such an extent, seven fish at a time, it's too powerful!

At the same time, the light curtain flashed brightly.

[Meng Haoran, who died because of fish, can really eat seven fish a day? (1/1 Completed)】

[Gossip points +20.] 】

At this time, Qi Niang finally realized that she had just made trouble and snatched other people's favorite food. Although the starting point was to save people, she also felt very embarrassed.

Qi Niang lowered her head, twisted her fingers in one place, and apologized to Meng Haoran in a super whisper: "Liulang...... Sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

Meng Haoran didn't speak, Li Bai took the lead: "Yes, you did it on purpose." ”

Qi Niang bared her teeth at Li Bai and proposed: "Shall I practice a piece of sword skills for Liulang to make amends?" Don't be sad. In the past, when the master robbed me of the yellow orange, I was very sad, but now when I go out to the mountains to practice swords, I can be happy again. ”

Meng Haoran smiled lightly.

Although he loves fish, he is not sad because he has not eaten a few pieces of fish. It's just that Qi Niang is really childlike, and Meng Haoran can't help but want to tease.

He looked at what Qi Niang was wearing today, and said, "Since Qi Niang is wearing Hu clothes, it is better to dance a Hu Xuan dance." ”

The Tang Dynasty is open and tolerant of different beauties, so that women can wear men's clothes as they like. Whether it is a Han family round-necked robe or a Hu short-necked shirt, it is just a dress.

This is also the tolerance that only a prosperous country can have.

Qi Niang is light today, so she wore this bearded costume, but she didn't think about it, but she wanted to learn to dance because of this. She scratched her head: "I can't dance, but I've seen Hu Xuan dance, and I can do it when the puppy turns in circles!" ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

In the Tang Dynasty, music and dance in the Western Regions were once very popular. Among them, the Hu Xuan Dance, the Hu Teng Dance and the Zhezhi Dance were widely loved, and the Hu Xuan Dance even attracted the Sogdians (nine surnamed Hu) to pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty as "Hu Xuan Women". ③

When you get to Qi Niang, why do you become a puppy and go around in circles!

Li Bai covered his face and wanted to seal the mouth of the unlucky child.

Meng Haoran encouraged: "Qi Niang, jump." I have a flute and a turtle drum here. ”

So, Qi Niang nodded, and ran to the open space in front of the pavilion with the drum. As soon as Meng Haoran heard the flute, she beat the drum with her hand and spun it a little rustily. At the beginning, Qi Niang also controlled her strength to find the rhythm, but when she got to the back, it was really a puppy biting her tail and happily spinning in circles.

Everyone watched happily, and they all got up and danced with Qi Niang. Then I found that no one could surpass Qi Niang's speed.

Meng Haoran was the oldest, and his body couldn't stand it, so he sat down and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty likes Hu Xuan Dance very much. ”

Li Bai shook his head and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty likes Hu Xuanwu, this is just a happy puppy." ”

Happy Puppy Qi Niang: "Ah Lang is the dog!" I'm a little whirlwind! ”

Everyone burst into laughter again.

It wasn't until the sunset that the two parties were reluctant to say goodbye.

Meng Haoran came to Bishan on a donkey, so he had to go first. He stepped on the back of the donkey and said to Li Bai: "Twelve Lang, I will stay in Yandian Town in the near future, if you have free time, you can come to find me." ”

Qi Niang: "What about me, what about me?" ”

Meng Haoran smiled: "Qi Niang is welcome to come at any time, and I will personally cook fish for you to eat at that time." ”

*

Yandian Town is located in the northwest corner of Anlu.

After Li Bai came back from Bishan, he gave Wen Shu and enlightened Qi Niang, and the rest of the time he would go to the small courtyard where Meng Haoran lived.

Meng is a scholarly family with assets in Xiangyang, so Meng Haoran's life outside is not hard.

In this regard, Qi Niang can be regarded as relieved.

Who let Li Shibai help too many people all the way, she was afraid that her family wealth would be scattered, and she would not have the money to go to Chang'an to participate in the township tribute.

When Li Bai went to Yandian Town, Qi Niang sometimes followed, and sometimes she was lazy, so she hid in the courtyard of her aunt Zhou. The small kitchen in the aunt's courtyard is a must-have for making dim sum, and many exquisite pastries that only exist in the Southern Dynasty can be made by the cook.

On this day, in the autumn, Zhou called Qi Niang to make wontons.

Li Xianling rushed to take office and had already gone to Tanzhou first, but for some reason, Zhou stayed at home. Qi Niang shook her little feet, sat at the desk, followed Zhou's example with her two little hands, and pinched the wonton skin hard-

Hey, it's broken.

Qi Niang was annoyed: "My hands are too stupid. Combing your hair is also messy, and it's not as good as Master's combing. ”

Zhou smiled softly, simply stood beside her, and held the bag to teach her by hand: "This bag of wontons and combing your hair can't be in a hurry, you have to patiently and carefully collect it little by little, pinch it in the palm of your hand, and finally seal a little breath." Look, isn't it done? ”

In the palm of Qi Niang's palm, a small and delicate wonton jumped.

Zhou told her again: "There are many types of wontons in our Tang Dynasty." I heard that in Chang'anfang City, there is a Xiaojia wonton that is very famous. The soup from his family's boiled wontons can even be used to make tea, which is especially delicious. In the future, if Qi Niang wants to eat, Aunt will take you there. ”

Qi Niang was surprised: "Really? ”

Zhou stroked her bangs, nodded her nose and said, "A well-behaved child like Qi Niang, of course, should be given the best." ”

Qi Niang's love for food is only known to Li Bai.

So, in the evening, as soon as Qi Niang returned to the front yard, she showed off to Li Bai: "Master, my aunt said that there are a lot of delicious foods in Chang'an, and she will take me to eat them in the future!" ”

Li Bai had just returned from being a guest at the Xu family, and he was entangled in his heart, when he heard Qi Niang's words. He raised his eyebrows: "Auntie really said that?" ”

Children tend to exaggerate and turn things upside down.

He wanted to figure out the ins and outs first.

So, Qi Niang described all the things of today in a colorful way, and at the end she still didn't finish: "Auntie said, a well-behaved child deserves the best." Then let's go to Chang'an, can we eat Xiaojia wontons? ”

Li Bai's eyebrows were twisted together, knowing that it was not his own heart.

Zhou's people and words are all out of place.

These days, although An Lu's family does not ask about Qi Niang's household registration, they always ask Li Bai to be the Xu family's son-in-law as soon as possible. Although he is interested in the Xu family, he will not leave Qi Niang behind for this.

Li Bai held his forehead and sighed: "Eat, we'll go whatever you want to eat." Just one point, if someone else wants to invite you to eat again, you can't follow you. ”

Qi Niang blinked, blessed to the heart.

Although she is young and naïve, she is very sensitive to people's hearts.

When her aunt taught her to make wontons, it was really uncomfortable.

The next day, Li Bai took Qi Niang to find Meng Haoran.

Their master and apprentice are outsiders, and they are not familiar with Anlu's life, and they rely on Li Zhai's family for everything;

But Meng Haoran is different, Xiangyang is not far from Anlu, and the Meng family also has their own relatives and connections here, and if they want to inquire about the news, they have to rely on Meng Liulang.

Li Bai closed the door and explained the whole thing to Meng Haoran, and finally pleaded: "Please ask Brother Meng for this matter." ”

Little Qi Niang also did the same: "Please, please." ”

Meng Haoran had seen the way Qi Niang and Li Bai got along before, and only thought that this was a pair of loving masters and apprentices. Unexpectedly, there is such a story behind it.

Meng Haoran sighed: "Twelve Lang, you have a loving father's heart!" ”

Li bai:? What!?

Qi Niang covered her stomach and smiled like a chicken cub learning to crow.

What Meng Haoran decided was that ten cows couldn't be broken. He patted Li Bai on the shoulder: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me, and I will help you protect Qi Niang." In the future, when the twelve Lang are raised into the court, they will be able to stand alone and be open, and the seven mothers will be recorded in their names. ”

Li Bai was confused when he heard this: "When did I say that I would be seven-"

Qi Niang: "yes! ”

Li Bai: "...... Rokuro's words are also a good idea. ”

*

Within seven or eight days, Meng Haoran asked someone to find out about the Li family.

This matter is no secret in Jiaxing County.

The first county commander Li Zheng had outstanding political achievements, and he was originally going to be promoted to the assassin of Xiazhou. But when it was reported, it was stabbed out that "Li County ordered to condone his wife Zhou's poisoning of the young daughter".

This matter was troubled for a long time, and finally it was transferred, and after waiting for the turmoil, he was promoted to Beijing.

Meng Haoran didn't expect the truth to be so cruel.

He didn't dare to delay, so he immediately went to find Li Bai and told him all the news he found.

Li Bai was silent for a long time, and patted his head with some chagrin: "It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't entrust my hope to others." ”

This is the Li family's family matter, and Meng Haoran is inconvenient to judge too much. Remembering that Li Bai hesitated to enter the Xu family before, and asked him for advice, Meng Haoran said: "Twelve Lang, you and the daughter of the Xu family are in love, maybe you can give her a home." But Anlu Li's family is by no means a good place for Qi Niang. ”

Li Bai nodded solemnly: "I'll go to find the Zhou family." ”

*

Li House.

Li Bai came back in a rage, told Qi Niang to stay in the house obediently, and then took the sword and went to the Zhou family's courtyard.

No matter how Qi Niang looked, she felt that something was going to happen, so she secretly followed.

As Li Bai, it is really not appropriate to come to Zhou's courtyard alone. But he brought a sword and kept a calm face, and the servants were frightened, and they were so frightened that they forgot to pass it for a while.

Li Bai drove straight into the main hall.

Zhou's house has been lit with Buddha incense all year round, and even so, you can smell an irrepressible smell of herbs.

When Li Bai arrived, she was kneeling in front of the Buddha shrine with her eyes closed, and the personal maid reminded her in her ear, before she got up and slowly moved into the hall: "Why don't you look at the tea, ask Twelve Lang to sit in vain." ”

The servants outside came in with tea, and soon they all withdrew, and the personal maid closed the door.

Li Bai sneered, it seems that they are all insiders.

Seeing Li Bai's face, Zhou Shi had already understood. The gentle voice of the past was no longer there, and instead showed a crazy look: "Qi Niang, why didn't you come with me?" ”

Li Bai clenched the hilt of the sword: "Are you embarrassed to mention Qi Niang?" ”

Zhou took a sip of tea and put the tea bowl down: "You really still know." But I'll be good to Qi Niang. ”

Li Bai sneered: "Then why don't you be good to your daughter." ”

Zhou whispered: "She's not good." ”

"She made trouble every day, crying and shouting for her Aya. She Aya has never taken her for a day, and she rarely visits, so why is she Gu Ming. This makes my mother, who was pregnant in October, sad and sick. ”

Li Bai was incredulous: "So you killed her?" That's your own daughter! ”

Zhou was suddenly frightened, stretched out his index finger and said "shh".

"Don't say that. Yue'er is not well-behaved, and she is obedient after taking medicine. Otherwise, you see how well-behaved Qi Niang is now. ”

Li Bai only felt that his body had been doused with ice water, and he didn't dare to imagine what kind of fate would happen if he left Qi Niang to her.

He remembered that Meng Haoran said that the Zhou family's family is quite high, and for today's Anlu Li family, it can be regarded as a high climb.

Therefore, Li Xianling's promotion is not young and promising at all, but with his back to the mountains and a good father-in-law. Therefore, even if he lost his beloved daughter, he was willing to keep the Zhou family, and even connived at her to harm Qi Niang.

Li Bai looked at the Zhou family with disgust, and seemed to be looking at the entire Li family's lintel through her.

"If you don't want to, why did you marry into the Li family in the first place."

Zhou seemed to think this thing was funny, laughed for a while, and suddenly burst into tears again: "Do you really think that I am willing to enter this fire pit? ”

"I have been married to Li Zheng for seven years, only in the first two years, he will stay in my room because of the inheritance of the ancestral family law. After having Yue'er, he was in the study, the front yard, and even the concubine's room. Even if I almost died in childbirth, and I was sick every day for five years after giving birth, he would not care a word. ”

"Do you know when he's going to come up with his tail wagging up?" Zhou wiped his tears, his face was calm and mocking, "Only when he wants to be promoted, there is a time when he asks my father!" ”

With this loud sound, the tea bowl on the table fell to the ground and shattered into many petals.

Zhou stood up, stepped on these slags, came to Li Bai, and looked down at him from above.

"Li Bai, I was born in a prestigious family, even if I am just a concubine who is not in the stream, I can't escape the big net woven by fame and profit."

"You take Qi Niang, how good can you go?"

Li Bai listened to Zhou's one-man show, crying, laughing and laughing heartbreakingly, and after his emotions rose and fell, he couldn't stand coughing and wheezing.

She coughed heavily.

It was not yet late autumn, but she was dressed very thickly, and the stove was originally held in the palm of her hand, and she didn't know where it had fallen nowhere.

This is also a miserable woman who is stuck in the quagmire.

Li Bai had this sentence in his heart, and as a result, the anger that he couldn't suppress just now disappeared.

He got up and wanted to leave the gloomy hall, so he opened the door and walked out: "Qi Niang is my sword boy and my family, and I will protect her." In the future, I don't have to worry about it. ”

The door opened, and the light was blinding.

Qi Niang stood in the scorching sun, kicking the pebbles boredly. The osmanthus flowers in the courtyard bloomed, and a little astragalus was blown off by the wind and stained between the little girl's hair, making people more and more agile.

Li Bai hesitated for a moment, then walked towards her decisively, picked up the person and sat on his shoulder: "Why are you disobedient and chasing after you again?" ”

Qi Niang's voice was wilting: "I'm afraid that Ah Lang will lose the fight, and no one will catch it." ”

"When have I ever lost!" Li Bai sneered, and asked tentatively quietly, "Did you hear what Fang Cai said?" ”

Qi Niang shrank her head and stretched out her right hand to geassure: "Just a little." ”

Li Bai didn't believe this, but it was also unusual, and he didn't debunk her.

After leaving Zhou's courtyard and walking further, Qi Niang suddenly asked, "Master, is she sick?" ”

This she, naturally, is talking about Zhou's.

Li Bai's heart warmed, and he rubbed Qi Niang's bun vigorously: "Our Qi Niang is the most concerned about people." yes, she's sick, so we don't have to worry about her. ”

Qi Niang nodded heavily.

Li Bai said again: "Brother Meng is going to leave Anlu for Jiangcheng tomorrow, you haven't seen the Yellow Crane Tower yet, how about we go with him?" ”

"Do you want to go back to Anlu?"

"I'm not coming back."

Qi Niang was anxious: "What about the Xu family's sister?" Don't you like each other? ”

Seeing that the little girl was so anxious about her family affairs, Li Bai patted her head funny: "The Xu family needs me to stand up." If the referral system fails, the tribute must be successful. I've already left a book for Erniang, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Qi Niang patted her small chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he asked happily and apprehensively: "Then I will ...... Isn't it possible to follow Master all the time? ”

Li Bai nodded silently.

The world is so big, where he Li Twelve lives is Qi Niang's home.
