On the other side, Zhao Qingyan didn't know what the queen and his imperial brother were doing, so he really went to Ouchi and shook around, and slipped to the door of the Qilin Pavilion.

"Lord Ouyang, didn't Lord Bao come?" Zhao Qingyan walked into the Qilin Pavilion on crutches and asked the fifty-year-old man who was sitting on the desk, with a casual but respectful attitude.

Ouyang Xiu raised his head, smiled at him, and said, "He is sick and has been home to recuperate for half a month." ”

Zhao Qingyan was stunned and asked, "Really, I'm really getting lazy, and I don't even know such an important thing." ”

Ouyang Xiu said quite approvingly: "The little prince is still so self-aware, congratulations." ”

Zhao Qingyan knew that he was joking with himself, so he didn't care, and asked, "Have you visited him?" I plan to take some ginseng and Lingzhi and send it to him, he won't scold me, right?"

Ouyang Xiu said: "That's not accurate. Maybe he thinks that the little prince is holding the things of the court and pretending to be public and private, and the corpse is in the prime position?"

Zhao Qingyan asked a little embarrassed: "Then what do you say? He has been sick for so long, a lot of age, it's not appropriate for me not to visit, right? I always have to take something, what does Master Bao like? I sent a few stones of rice? The honey that was just delivered a few days ago? I also got a good deer whip, but he doesn't seem to need it?"

Ouyang Xiu looked at him talking to himself there with a smile, and at the end, he said, "Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip before I go back to the house today, and you can bring some tonic medicine that he needs." ”

Zhao Qingyan said happily: "Then thank you, I'll invite adults to dinner in the evening?"

Ouyang Xiu picked up the brush again and said, "No, I plan to go once a day anyway, and I have saved money to buy supplements." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "Oh, then the adults are busy, I'll go check something." He nodded to the rest of the room, then entered the place where the files were kept.

Three hours later, Zhao Qingyan walked out with a large pile of files, sat in a wheelchair outside the door, went straight to Zhuyuan, put the files and went to Tai Hospital to get some supplements, and returned to Qilin Pavilion to find Ouyang Xiu who was about to leave.

————————————————————————————

Zhao Qingyan and Ouyang Xiu walked slowly behind an old servant, looking at this mansion that can be described as "surrounded by four walls, surrounded by Xiao Ran", Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but sigh: "Master Bao is really honest and honest, with a clean breeze on his sleeves!" Listening to him, he seemed to be complimenting, but Ouyang Xiu intuitively felt that there was a sense of ridicule in his words.

The little prince laughed, Bao's residence naturally could not be compared with the Qi Palace. A slightly weak voice came from behind, and when I looked back and saw a person, I intuitively felt that there were only two words "really black", and then I looked carefully to see a face with good facial features and a serious expression.

Zhao Qingyan bowed his hand and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, I just want to be a happy and comfortable prince, unlike Lord Bao, who has the world in mind and worries about the country and the people." ”

Bao Zheng asked, "Is the little prince sarcastic about Bao?"

Zhao Qingyan said curiously: "Why did Lord Bao say this? I just think that there is a gap between my thoughts and attitudes towards the world, and at most it is a political disagreement, how can I be sarcastic about Lord Bao? My lord is bored with Zhao. ”

Bao Zheng glanced at Ouyang Xiu, who was smiling silently next to him, and asked the old servant to show him the tea, and then said: "People who are officials will inevitably have differences in political opinions, although the little prince is in a false name, at least he is also concerned about the affairs of the Privy Council in addition to having fun, and he is much stronger than some other people who neglect their duties." After all, they are both privy deputies, and they don't have too much rejection and alienation from each other, so they complain when they have something in their hearts.

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said: "It's still a matter of the literati, the emperor's uncle values literature over martial arts, and the literati are insinuating and writing all day long, and the court quarrels all day long, and I don't have to go to the court, otherwise my illness will be even worse." ”

The two "literati" smiled at each other, and Ouyang Xiu teased: "I remember that the little prince has always been the existence of a self-proclaimed literati and inkman." ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "There is nothing to do, what I want to do is a gentleman who is as gentle as jade, taking advantage of my father's inattention, finding a pot of fine wine, watching the beauty dance the sword while drinking, and feeling the feeling of Li Taibai's 'playing the sword and singing and playing the bitter voice'." ”

Ouyang Xiu was quite surprised and said, "I thought you were going to talk about the ambition and pride of "Will Enter the Wine", but I didn't expect you to come up with such a sentence. ”

Bao Zheng groaned: "The avenue is like the blue sky, and I can't go out alone." Shame on the children of the Chang'an Society, the red chicken and the white pheasant bet on the pear chestnut. Playing the sword and singing the bitter sound, the king is not satisfied. Huaiyin laughed at Han Xin, and the Han Dynasty was jealous of Jia Sheng. After a pause, he said, "It's really unexpected that you actually like such poems." ”

"Unexpected?" Zhao Qingyan asked with a smile, "What? The two of you think that I was born to be a prince, and I have nothing to do with the powerful people who break my eyebrows and bend my waist, so I am surprised that I like such poems? ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "It's true that I have this kind of thought. In my opinion, you should be like Shuyuan, with a solid family background and a superior status, so dancing and writing and playing in the mountains and rivers are all there is to life, and that is also free and happy. ”

Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a moment before asking, "Shuyuan, what do you say about Yan?" It also makes sense, I am really a little similar to him. There is happiness, but freedom is not necessarily. He, Yan Cheng was not like this at the time, but in the past few years, he has been a little unable to think about it, and the original Yingwu has also been reduced by a few points. ”

Shu Yuan is Yan Jidao's character, and the word is a more respectful title among his peers, Ouyang Xiu's age, but he called Yan Jidao, a young man in his twenties, of course he was stunned. After thinking about it, it became clear that Ouyang Xiu, who had always called himself Yan Shu's protégé, was commensurate with Yan Jidao's courtesy, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Bao Zheng said: "A noble son like you, born with a golden soup spoon, and is very loved by his father, plus he is also talented enough, and he has not experienced any ups and downs in his life, and without his father's care, he is naturally cramped and hesitant. ”

Zhao Qing said with a smile: "It's a great honor to be praised by Lord Bao." Yan Qigongzi was written at the age of seven, and at the age of 14, he was a scholar in the imperial examination, how could his talent be 'brilliant'? If I talk about miscellaneous studies, I am really not inferior to him, and I really sigh at myself for such a skill in reciting poetry. Yan Cheng's sons all relied on their real talents and studies to get high rankings, but my father's son really relied on his father. But to be honest, I want to have a dad like him, who can wake up laughing in my dreams. ”

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "Speaking of yourself, why did you pull it on your father again?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Yan Cheng is one of the poets I respect the most, and that kind of father is of course enviable. My father was from a military background, and there was no brother in the family to discuss poetry with me, so I was bored. He glanced at Bao Zheng and quipped: "I like literati and poetry and songs the most, but it is different from someone who likes Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, and Fan Zhongyan." ”

Bao Zheng asked, "How do you know that I revere them." ”

Zhao Qing smiled narrowly: "Guess nonsense." You always say that we don't know the suffering of the world and the hardships of the people, so 'the worries of the world first' is completely to describe Lord Bao, isn't it?"

Bao Zheng said: "Why do these words sound so degrading in your mouth?"

Ouyang Xiu was still smiling, took a sip of the teacup, smiled slightly, slowly swallowed the tea, and quietly put the tea back on the table.

Zhao Qingyan couldn't help but smile and said: "Barley tea is on fire, so it's better for the old man to drink it." ”

Ouyang Xiu coughed dryly and said, "I'm still used to drinking green tea." After a pause, he added: "I don't think I'm an old man, but Master Bao is still counted." ”

Zhao Qingyan said with a smile: "That's right, I also saw that Lord Wang gave you a pack of Lushan clouds, that's a good thing." ”

Ouyang Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "How did you see that?"

Zhao Qingyan thought for a while and said, "I forgot, it seems that I got it from which cousin?" It seems that someone from Uncle Jiu's family heard that he likes to drink green tea, so he gave him a small packet. Naturally, the cousin in his mouth was the son of the king. Renzong and King Huan have no children, King Qi has only one son, and only King Xin has a few men under his knees.

Bao Zheng said: "I didn't expect that a person as serious as Lord Wang would be quite caring." ”

Zhao Qing said: "Lord Wang is arrogant, and he has never heard anyone persuade, even Lord Ouyang has been angry. Being able to send such a precious tea to Lord Ouyang shows that the adult is excellent. ”

Ouyang Xiu inadvertently led Zhao Qingyan's interest to himself, and said with a wry smile: "It's really a compliment, and when it comes to your mouth, it's demeaning." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled lightly: "I'm saying that your generation has many talents, and when you come to my generation, you will see an uncle." ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled: "Then don't you admire the teacher in our generation?"

Zhao Qing said: "That's not the case, when it comes to military and political opinions, even Lord Ouyang, there are a lot of people I admire. In terms of poetry and literary attainments alone, I am afraid that in addition to Yan Cheng, Liu Sanchang. ”

Bao Zheng snorted coldly: "A battlefield is bloodstained and ambiguous and perfunctory, and a famous family is pretentious and pretentious, and if you are really an official, you will only mislead the country and the people." The saint's last sentence 'and fill in the words to go' didn't make a mistake about him. ”

Ouyang Xiu smiled lightly: "People are as their name suggests, according to the character of the little prince, they should also think of it." Although Wu Bao Zheng's words were fierce, he was also clearly dissatisfied. Although he has no less respect for Yan Shu, Bao Zheng's words also talk about his secret injury. As for Liu Yong, although he has no deep friendship, his behavior is unpleasant.

Zhao Qingyan was stunned, did not answer, and lowered his eyes.

After a while, Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng glanced at each other, and they also felt that they were talking heavily, and they should not have vented their dissatisfaction with the old things of the past to a weak-crowned young man who had not yet been born at that time. What's more, they criticized and ridiculed him bluntly as courtiers, if the little prince was really angry, King Renzong Qi would also be blamed, counting them as privy deputy envoys, the king of Huan above, was a little too angry for a while. However, the two of them were arrogant, and they also realized that they had not said anything wrong, so how could they be willing to apologize to a junior? No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere instantly cooled down, and each had his own thoughts.

Zhao Qingyan raised his head and smiled, and said: "I really can't get involved in political affairs, saying that I only have academic attainments, and I am not a political minister, but I have made the two adults unhappy." Blame me, blame me, the original intention was to visit Lord Bao's body, but it caused Lord Bao's heart disease. It's time for dinner, if you don't mind, how about I go to the restaurant for a meal?

After a little thought, the two nodded and agreed, and said, "Then the little prince will break the bank." Yan felt as if he had acquiesced to the method of "his fault", felt inappropriate, wanted to speak, and saw that the other party wanted to speak, so he waited for the other party to speak first, but he missed the time to explain.

Zhao Qingyan didn't mind, and said with a smile: "It's been two years since Lord Ouyang Jiayou came to the Privy Council for five years, and I didn't have the opportunity to have a private meal with my lord. Master Bao too, it's not easy to give me this face. He intended to liven up the atmosphere, and the two of them echoed a few words, and the unhappiness of Fang Cai was over.
