Soon after, news came from the government again, agreeing with what Xu Xian said, but asking him not to leak it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Xian smiled and agreed, leaving them to arrange.

With Xu Xian's consent, it was not only publicized by the Yamen of Hangzhou Prefecture, and the leader of the Hajj Academy took the lead in handling the matter, upgrading a civil challenge to an official event, which was even more powerful than the initial snow test.

Fearing that the city of Hangzhou could not accommodate so many spectators, he found a vacant land between Hangzhou City and Qiantang County, on the bank of the Qiantang River, and built a terrace with a civil structure, ten zhang long and ten zhang wide, ten zhang high and three zhang, organized a large number of conscripts, whether it was windy, rainy or dusty, it would never stop, and it had a general appearance in just a few days.

Not to mention, a giant pillar of optimus several zhang high has already been erected on the riverside, and a brocade banner is hung on it, inlaid with gold and silver lace, and the four big characters of "the first in the world" are written on it, and they are displayed in the wind. Sometimes the clouds open and the fog disperses, and when the light shines, the splendid scenery shines with streamers, and people from ten miles away can also see it.

Those who come from other places to visit Hangzhou must see this flag, which has become a great scenic spot in Hangzhou for a while. When the news spread, countless people came to watch on horseback and boats, and there was still a long time to leave the curtain, but the major inns in Hangzhou were already full, and the price could not withstand this crowd.

When Xu Xian learned of this, he couldn't help but sigh, who said that the ancients had no business acumen. This propaganda and gimmick creation are not inferior to any propaganda company in later generations. I have seen all kinds of novels, all of which are stubborn and ignorant as the ancients said, and they are 108,000 miles worse than today's people. But in fact, even though there is no concept of marketing advertising, these truths are actually the same, but they have never been written, and they are laughed at by the villagers, isn't it sad!

Fan Lifu destroyed Wu more and more, and then scattered his wealth and boated on the five lakes. Lü Buwei was able to live in goods, helped the king of Qin ascend the throne, and then helped Qin unify the six countries. With such wisdom and courage, who would dare to laugh at the wisdom of the ancients?, and during this period, as expected, many people came to the door to challenge Xu Xian, but the government had already arranged, and a team of officials was set up outside the gate of Xu's mansion, and the future was all blocked outside, and they were kindly informed of the official opening time, where to sign up. If you are willing to spend a little silver, you can also introduce the scenery of Hangzhou to you. If there is no persuasion, it is indispensable to have a stick and a fist. But more often than not, just watch from afar, and only visit it as if it were a place of interest.

Today, it is said that the sky is white, and the sky is clear. The summer in the city of Hangzhou is getting stronger, and the atmosphere is gradually rising.

Xu Xian stood on the pavilion and watched, but his eyes were tightly closed, and he opened his body to the extreme, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said to Bai Suzhen behind him: "Lady, I think this year's rainy season seems to be dissipating faster than in previous years." ”

Bai Suzhen stopped the needlework, looked up and said, "Yes, such good weather can last," she gently pressed her black hair like a cicada wing on her sideburns with her fingertips and rubbed it gently.

Xu Xian turned his back to her and didn't notice her subtle movements, "Lady, how long will it take you to make such a thing?" He already knew that Bai Suzhen was preparing a talisman for him.

Bai Suzhen said: "Don't worry, officials, it won't take much time, and it will be fine immediately." ”

Xu Xian turned his head and smiled, "Come on!" He knew that this magic weapon would probably consume a lot of her Dao Xing, but he didn't say a word of gratitude, just quietly waited for her to finish. Again, how can one use one's left hand to appreciate one's right hand?

"Hmm. ”

Xu Xian leaned on the railing and looked downstairs, and saw Hu Xinyue walking towards the pond with a food box, the expression on his face was a little unhappy.

Hu Xinyue was indeed depressed in her heart, and her further persuasion to Xiaoqing was interrupted by this sudden good weather. Xiaoqing was so hot that she plunged into the pond and refused to come out again. She didn't even come out to eat lunch every day, she carried a food box and sent it all away, and she stood by the pond and greeted her a few times.

Suddenly a turbulent wave rises in the undulating water of the lake, and a long, huge black shadow swims in the water, which is like the atmosphere before the appearance of the fierce beast in the movie.

With a loud sound of "bump", the lake flew towards the sky, like a heavy rain from bottom to top, the silver water droplets rose almost vertically to the sky to a height of more than ten zhang, and the huge green shadow in the water curtain bent in mid-air. It slammed and shook the droplets of water out in all directions. There was no need to move at all, but the backlash was enough to shatter the bones of a person.

Xu Xian only felt that the shots of countless monster movies appeared in front of him, and he understood what reality was more incredible than interpretation. The diameter is almost three zhang, if it weren't for Bai Suzhen's spell to dig the bottom of the lake more than ten zhang deeper, I'm afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide her figure. By the way, the rockery by the lake has also been renovated to be much larger than the original, leaving a cave for Yu Bud to perch. It's just that if this transformation continues, sooner or later the Xu Mansion will develop in the direction of the monster's lair!

Or rather, it's already developing.

Xiao Qing looked at Hu Xinyue condescendingly, her blue and blue snake eyes shining with a metallic luster.

Hu Xinyue shouted: "Don't bow your head yet!"

Xiaoqing seemed to be confused for a moment (she was sleeping just now), then slammed her head on the shore, closed her eyes, and opened her mouth lazily. Hu Xinyue hatefully took out the food in the food box and poured it in, but in fact, it was really like stuffing between her teeth.

Xu Xian looked at Xiaoqing, I don't know if it's because of Aiwu and Wu, I just feel that the soft snake body and green scales also look verdant and lovely (definitely the values have shifted), I just feel that when I watched it last year, it didn't seem to be so big, and the increase in the dragon clan's secret method to the demon body shape seems to be very large, and of course the increase in strength will follow.

Xiaoqing seemed to be aware of Xu Xian's gaze, and suddenly opened the snake's eyes, and the blue light flashed in her eyes, as if she glared at Xu Xian fiercely. Then he closed his eyes again, turned around and swam back into the water.

Xu Xian greeted with a smile, and suddenly turned around with some curiosity and asked, "Lady, you should be even bigger than this when you become the original form!"

Bai Suzhen couldn't help but glance at him, feeling that there was something wrong with this official's mentality.

Xu Xian sighed from the bottom of his heart, that Xu Xian who was scared to death was really happy. (Values have been completely distorted) "Go downstairs, official, it's time to eat." ”

Today, there are two people missing from the table, Xiaoqing is sleeping in the lake, but Yun Yan is not there.

Without waiting for Xu Xian to ask, Hu Xinyue had already said: "Yun Yan is eating in the study, and I have already sent it to her." "She felt more and more like a maid.

Xu Xian frowned and said, "It's not bad to read for a while, how good is it to eat in the study, I'll take a look!" got up and walked towards the study.

As soon as I arrived at the doorman, I heard the sound of flipping books inside, and when I opened the door, I saw Yun Yan holding a shortbread, quickly flipping through a book, and turning to the next page with just one look, as if she was looking for something.

Yun Yan saw Xu Xian and took down the shortbread in her hand, "Husband, you're here!"

Xu Xian said: "Why don't you go to eat, let's go, let's watch it after eating!"

Yun Yan refused: "No, I want to read the books in the study again, so as not to miss anything." ”

"Read it again?" Xu Xian looked at the room full of books and was surprised. This study is still inherited from the Qiu Wangfu, the scale is amazing, and most of them were originally empty. Later, when he was resting in the mansion, he bought all kinds of books and filled them, and the number of them was not much less than the books in the library of the Hajj Academy. Saying that you want to watch it again is just talking.

"Forget it, there's no time, it's better to take a break. What are you looking for now? If you find it, go to dinner!"

Yun Yan's bright eyes flashed with doubt, "What are you looking for?"

Xu Xian smiled slightly, "You're welcome, my husband can help you!" The so-called "never forget" these four words are not just words.

Yun Yan seemed to understand what Xu Xian meant, smiled slyly, and waved the book in her hand, "I also want my husband to help, but I'm reading!"

Xu Xian's eyes widened and said, "Reading, just like that, reading a book?!" Obviously, I only glanced at each page, this way of reading, are you a robot?

Yun Yan smiled: "Because I've seen it before, this time it's just a review, so it's very time-saving, and since I cultivated, I feel that my brain is turning faster than before!"

Xu Xiancai understood the gap between "acquired masters" and "innate masters". She said that she was serious about reading the books here, and the time for a lunch was only a few dozen pages for ordinary people, but for her, it was dozens or hundreds of books, and she really couldn't waste it.

Xu Xian had to wave his hand, "You...... Keep it up!"

Yun Yan said with a serious face: "Well, for the sake of my husband, I won't lose." "Sweep away the laziness of the plain.

Xu Xian sighed in his heart, this can be regarded as a kind of genius, no matter how slack he usually is, he can be able to distract himself when he needs to, and achieve real concentration. This is also the right reason, after all, whether it is poetry and song or piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, to reach the level of a master, it is not only by talent can be done. It's not at the same level as myself who watched TV dramas until twelve o'clock on the eve of the college entrance examination.

Xu Xian withdrew from the door and quietly glanced at her through the crack in the door, making sure that no data stream was flowing through her eyes. That serious look made him feel slightly relieved, and felt that such a choice was indeed the right one.

People will have the need to realize their own value, hoping to display their talents, even if she has always seemed content. It's just that she's too smart to know what she wants and what she wants in life. Because he knows how to make trade-offs, he is content and happy.

But if there is such an opportunity, she will also work hard to seize it. It's not false to say it's for him, but she's just as happy!

Xu Xian returned to the hall and said with a smile: "Let's let her study hard!"

After the meal, Bai Suzhen took a bowl of sour plum soup for each person, and handed it out by her plain hand, and a layer of ice floes formed on the pale red soup, exuding a cold mist.

Xu Xian tasted it, only to feel extremely refreshed, "Lady, is this what you did?"

"I took the time to make it, how about it, it tastes good!"

Xu Xian glanced at Hu Xinyue, "Don't we have a maid? ”

"Maid?" Bai Suzhen was stunned before she reacted, and a smile overflowed on her lips. "It doesn't take much effort, you don't need it...... The maid came to do it. ”

Hu Xinyue didn't want to splash a bowl full of sour plum soup on Xu Xian.

Xu Xian only glanced at it, and the scattered soup regathered into a water balloon and returned to Hu Xinyue's bowl. "This is what my wife has worked so hard for, don't waste it. ”

Hu Xinyue glanced at her face reflected in the sour plum soup, raised her head and said, "I'm going out this afternoon, you can make dinner yourself!" These days have cleaned the house and mowed the garden, and her only remaining work is cooking, and she is not as tired as she was at the beginning. Speaking of a very serious gambling contract, I thought that the content of the gambling contract would be difficult for each other to accept, but in fact, not only Xu Xian didn't mind, but even he gradually felt that it was nothing.

The only worry at the moment is that Xu Xian relies on the content of the gambling contract to restrain her actions, and it is really very simple for a huge mansion to find some work.

Xu Xian said: "Alone?"

"Hmm. ”

"No, I can't. ”

Hu Xinyue stood up abruptly and said, "Xu Xian, you have too little to do!"

Xu Xian's face was as usual and said: "You have no strength in your body now, let's let Xiaoqing be with you!" Sometimes the beauty of the face is more attractive than gold and silver.

Hu Xinyue sat down slowly, Fang Cai's anger didn't know where to put it for a while, and said stiffly: "You want her to spy on me!"

Xu Xian had already continued the topic, "Are you coming back for dinner?"

"I don't know. ”

"Then I'll keep it for you!"

In this way, there is a prosaic dialogue, which can happen anywhere at any time, by anyone, and does not contain any great meaning or philosophy of life, let alone enough for people to take out a separate article and express a feeling. It's just plain words like boiled water.

But when such words came to Hu Xinyue's ears, they had a different taste. There has ever been a time when someone cared so much about their outings and asked about their return date. Although it may feel troublesome, it will also feel a little warm. It is a thing called home that shackles a person's heart and makes it impossible for people to stay away.

She hated the ordinary, she hated the shackles. Ruthlessly left that thing behind or even broken, chasing a passionate and magnificent life, seeking a life as you like. To this day, she doesn't regret it, it's the path she chose with her heart.

But at the same time, she can't hypocritically deny this emotion. Wouldn't it be hypocritical to deny it? She deceived the world with all kinds of masks, but she refused to deceive her own heart. Whether it's a fox's heart, a monster's heart, or a human's heart, I'll do whatever it wants me to do!

Hu Xinyue drank the sour plum soup and was silent.

But in any case, she will no longer call Xu Gongzi with such a flattering face, maybe she understands that it is useless, maybe she is too angry with Xu Xian, maybe there is no need for a mask in a place like home.

Xu Xian never thought of turning this place called "home" into a battlefield for fighting wits with someone.

Bai Suzhen packed up the food box and took in some sour plum soup.

Xu Xian said: "What is this for?"

Bai Suzhen said: "The weather is so hot, I want to send some of this sour plum soup to those errand officials outside, it is difficult for them to help us guard the door, saving a lot of trouble!"

Hu Xinyue said lightly: "They are on an errand, this is their duty, not to mention guarding the door for us, and they don't know how much benefit they have earned from this errand, it's too late to be happy!"

Bai Suzhen knew her surname, and she didn't argue, "Official, you go and send these to Yan'er! Xiaoyue, Qing'er will trouble you." ”

Outside the gate, several officials took refuge in the shade under the gatehouse.

A young official fanned the older one and asked, "Chen Tou, do you think Xu Tanhua can win this time?"

The old god Chen Tou said, "Then you still need to say?"

"Can you win or can't you win? I heard that the handicap has been opened, and the small one also wants to take the opportunity to make a profit, you give me an idea. ”

"Xu Daguan, that's our Qiantang people, don't you want to suppress others if you don't press him? Beware of me beating you. "Ready to fight.

The little servant smiled and gave in, "Hehe, that's too." ”

The other officials asked, "How much did you press Chen?"

Chen Tou's face turned red, and he coughed lightly twice, "One or two." ”

The officials laughed, "It's only one or two, is it the sister-in-law he won't let it?"

"Go, go, go, you know. The little servant sold a pass, and said with eyebrows and eyes: "This is called Baishan filial piety first." "Oops, I've been kicked in the ass.

The officials were laughing and laughing, and when the time came, a large group of young scholars stepped forward and asked, "May I ask a few errand brothers, is this the mansion of Xu Xian Xu Hanlin?"

The officials hurriedly stood up, and Chen Tou responded: "This is the Xu Mansion, who are you?"

The scholar at the head arched his hand and said, "We are students of Bailu Academy, in the Lower Tang Mingxuan. ”

Chen Tou saw that it was a student of Bailu Academy, and he didn't dare to wait slowly, and pointed to the notice posted on the wall next to the gatehouse: "Childe, if you are here to challenge, you might as well take a look at the notice on the wall first, now Xu Hanlin does not accept anyone's challenge, if you want to challenge, then you have to wait for a while." ”

Tang Mingxuan sent a piece of broken silver, "We already know the rules, we are not here this time to challenge, but to meet Lord Xu, I don't know if it is convenient." This money invited a few people to drink a glass of wine, which was not a tribute. ”

Chen Touwei looked at the bright silver and looked embarrassed, "This, Childe, Lord Xu is not a guest now, even if we make it convenient for you, it is useless." ”

At this time, only a "squeak" sound, Zhumen opened a gap, Bai Suzhen Yingying walked out, and said generously: "This is the iced sour plum soup I made, please try it." ”

Chen Tou was flattered and said, "Mrs. Xu, how embarrassing is this!" After refusing to take the food box, he had only seen Bai Suzhen a few times, but he always felt cordial as if he had known each other in the old days.

Bai Suzhen asked, "Who are these sons?"
