The original subject wanted Gu Yuanbai to give the original attack a marriage.
In addition to being helpless and amusing, Gu Yuanbai sighed in his heart.
To give marriage, unless Xue Mansion takes the initiative to invite him, he will not take the initiative to give it.
A marriage is difficult for two people. Gu Yuanbai couldn't bear to do this kind of random mandarin duck notation.
Just after talking about Xue Yuan in the morning, in the afternoon, Xue Du Yuhou sent a letter and a palm-sized wooden sculpture to Gu Yuanbai.
The woodcarving is a machete, the surface of the machete is smooth and flat, and there are not fine patterns engraved. Because of its small size, the blade is very thick and cannot hurt people, just like a toy coaxing a young child.
Gu Yuanbai took the wooden knife in his hand and looked at it, but he didn't see anything wrong, so he threw the wooden knife aside, and picked up the envelope on the side.
The letter paper is white, and there is a faint smell of wine. Gu Yuanbai's nose is very sensitive. As soon as he smells the aroma of wine, the image of Xue Yuan, who is smiling but not smiling, throws the bottle from the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building with a jug.
He snorted and opened the letter. There was only one sentence on the top: Chen Zhi's chess skills are better than Chang Yu's words.
The handwriting was flying like a phoenix, and the whole piece of paper could hardly hold Xue Yuan's short line.
Being sick can be so frustrating.
Gu Yuanbai showed the letter to the people on both sides. After reading it, Tian Fusheng laughed and laughed, "Master Xue is so confident, he must be one of the best at chess."
Gu Yuanbai didn't notice it at first, but now he thinks about it, isn't he? Xue Yuan praised himself. Most of the ancient gentlemen were reserved. Looking at it this way, it was not that he was extremely thick-skinned.
Gu Yuanbai couldn't hold back his lips.
The head of the guard said worriedly: "Sir, Master Xue is unwell, and he must be unable to move, so he invited him to come to Xue's residence."
"I know." Gu Yuanbai said.
His fingers couldn't help but turn to the jade wrench, and the jade wrench was replaced, but the tentacle was still warm. Gu Yuanbai lowered his head and glanced at the bright white and transparent jade block, remembering the appearance of Xue Yuan falling into the water, his eyelids twitched, and he said, "Then go have a look."
In the afternoon, the breeze was gentle, the clouds were thick, and the sky was faintly yellow.
The summer palace is huge, with springs and mountains inside and outside, and the greenery brings coolness. The residences of princes, ministers and officials are built not far from the palace, and the birds and flowers are constantly singing, and the singing of birds and insects is endless.
Chu Wei followed Sheng Shang silently. He seemed to be very preoccupied. He occasionally raised his eyes to look at Sheng Shang's back, even more like a disappointed person.
Even though he is handsome, he is also adored by his appearance. But if the person who made him "frustrated" was the saint, this beauty would not be appreciated.
The captain of the guard suddenly said to Chu Wei: "Lord Chu, there is something wrong, you'd better correct it if you know it."
Chu Wei regained his senses, "Master Zhang, what does this mean?"
The captain of the bodyguard said abruptly: "Master Chu and I are both ministers of the sage, the sage is the king, and we are the ministers."
"So?" Chu Wei's expression was light, with some doubts.
Seeing that he understood and pretended not to understand, the head guard's face flushed, "Master Chu just remembers that neither I nor Master Xue will let anyone with malicious intentions take a step closer to the saint."
Chu Wei's brows instantly wrinkled, his eyes were cold, like sharp ice.
Check it out.
Chu Wei looked like the breeze and the moon was bright and the moon was bright, but in reality, his heart was dark, hiding all kinds of rebellious and dirty thoughts. On the other hand, Xue Yuan, although very bold and arrogant, is at least upright and consistent.
As soon as he said it through, did Chu Wei's face change
The chief guard's impression of such a literati was a little worse.
Chu Wei already understood what was going on. His face was ugly, but a childish voice suddenly sounded in front of him: "Nephew."
Zhuang Yuanlang's brows twitched and he looked up subconsciously. Only then did they realize that they had already walked to the door of Chu Mansion, and at the entrance of Chu Mansion, there was a boy in clean robes and well-behaved. When the boy saw him, he laughed reservedly, loudly Said: "Zihu nephew!"
Chu Wei didn't speak for a long time, and the sage turned around and looked at him with a smile.
The concierge of Chu Mansion had seen the Sage. At this time, he was so frightened that he stood aside and dared not move. He hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Uncle and Young Master, this is the Sage."
Xiaotong's eyes slowly widened, and then he hurriedly knelt down and gave Gu Yuanbai a big gift of throwing himself to the ground, "Xiaotong has seen the saint."
"Get up," Gu Yuanbai, "can you get up?"
The child climbed up with hands and feet on the ground, clasped his arms together cautiously, and glanced at Chu Wei several times, so anxious that he wanted his nephew to teach him how to talk to the Sage.
This little boy was about five or six years old, but he looked like a little adult. Gu Yuanbai walked over, lifted up his robe and sat on the steps in front of the Chu residence, and said to the boy who was stunned, "What's your name?"
The little boy put his hands together, and then bowed his body in an orderly manner, and said with a straight face, "The boy's name is Chu Yi, and the parents in the family call the boy Chu Xiaosi."
"Brother Yi," Gu Yuanbai smiled and pointed to Chu Wei, "You call him nephew?"
"This is Xiaotong's nephew Zihu," Chu Xiaosi, "Zihu nephew is amazing and won the champion!"
Chu Wei's ears were slightly red, and after the saint said "really amazing", the redness deepened, and after a while, both ears were clearly red.
Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, "Since you are the elder of the champion, if the champion makes a mistake, will you teach him a lesson?"
Chu Xiaosi nodded with a serious expression, "If the child protects his nephew if he does something wrong, the child will not favor him. The book says: the child does not teach, the father is wrong."
"That's right," Gu Yuanbai said angrily, "Today, the champion made a small mistake, which made me feel unhappy. As an elder, tell me what to do."
Chu Xiaosi was stunned. He looked at the sage, and then at Chu Wei. Finally, he took up the posture of an elder and taught him, "Nephew Zihu, how can you do this?"
Chu Wei couldn't help but look at the saint, the saint noticed his sight and winked at him with a smile. Chu Wei knew that the sage was just teasing his fourth uncle, and he couldn't help laughing and lowered his head.
Chu Xiaosi should rarely have the opportunity to use the style of his elders. After he finished teaching Chu Wei, his face was already flushed with excitement. He suppressed his excitement and saluted and replied, "Sir, Xiaotong's lesson is over."
Gu Yuanbai pondered for a while, "Oh? Do you know that the champion is wrong?"
Chu Wei reluctantly raised his lips, "I know I'm wrong."
"Then it's for the sake of your fourth uncle, and I'll spare you this time," Gu Yuanbai said with a smile, "Don't waste your uncle's heart."
Chu Xiaosi blushed even more.
Tian Fusheng couldn't help laughing so hard, he brought the soft cushion and whispered: "Sir, let me put a cushion for you, the ground is too cold, it's not good for you."
Gu Yuanbai simply stood up, "Stop sitting, let's go."
Just as Chu Wei was about to follow up, Gu Yuanbai glanced at him and said with a smile: "Since this place is in Chu Qing's mansion, Chu Qing will take Brother Yi back to the mansion, you don't need to accompany me any more."
Chu Wei didn't speak, his little uncle ran over and hugged his leg, Chu Wei bent down and hugged the little boy in his arms, looked at the saint, and couldn't hold back: "The saint, looking at the sky, it should be in a while. If it rains, why don't the Holy One rest in the courtroom first?"
Gu Yuanbai looked at the sky, the yellowish moisture was thick, and the cold wind swayed the green trees, it really looked like it was raining.
Gu Yuanbai thought about it, but before he could think about it, he felt his cheeks get cold, and after reaching out and brushing the side of his face, he touched a touch of water.
The dry ground had a little wet streak and it started to rain.
The raindrops fell on the chessboard from slow to dense, drop by drop.
On both sides of the chessboard were cakes, tea, and a wine jug. The wine jug was open, and the aroma of the wine inside was intertwined with the aroma of the tea on the side, and these things were also soaked by the rain drop by drop.
Beside the stone table, Xue Yuan, who was waiting here, was still sitting upright. He was wearing a black coat. The high hair was tied up, and it was silent like a statue.
A drop of rain fell from his forehead and then from his chin.
The servant in the corridor took the oil-paper umbrella and rushed towards the courtyard in a hurry. Xue Yuan opened his mouth and said, "Don't come here."
The servant's footsteps stopped suddenly, "Eldest son, it's raining!"
"Your father is still getting less rain?" Xue Yuan took the jug in his hand and turned it around a few times. With the rain, he raised his neck and took a few mouthfuls.
The servant hurriedly said: "Eldest son, the doctor said, you must not drink alcohol or get wet in the rain."
"It's already drenched," Xue Yuan shook the jug, "already drank."
He stood up, soft raindrops falling on his face. At the end of summer, the rain seems to be much gentler, but no matter how gentle the rain is, it is still cold on the body.
The face is used to deceiving people, but the heart is more ruthless than anyone else.
Xue Yuan walked to the bottom of the corridor.
The servants in the corridor breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The one who took the towel and the one took the ginger soup, but Xue Yuan stood still by the corridor, watching the rain curtain gradually change from thinning to sparse. became denser.
He stood up straight, and as soon as the robes were draped outside, he took up a large area by himself. Xue Yuan's eyes were good, and he could see the carefully prepared cakes on the stone table by the rain. break up.
Xue Yuan took another sip of wine and asked, "Where's the person?"
As soon as he finished asking, a drenched man ran into the rain curtain, "Eldest son, the youngest saw that the saint turned into the Chu mansion at the end of the alley."
The residences of these princes and ministers around the Summer Palace are all leaning against one another in twos and threes. Chu Mansion and Xue Mansion are very close, one is at the front and the other is at the end, but Xue Yuan just came to the summer palace, he suffered fifty big boards, and he didn't show much in front of the mansion.
As soon as these words were said, the servants held their breath, for fear that Xue Yuan would lose his temper. But Xue Yuan smiled, "It's really here."
Xue Yuan was in a better mood. He pulled his lips and smiled, and stretched out his hand behind him, "Give me the umbrella."
The servant gave him the oil-paper umbrella, and Xue Yuan asked again, "Where's the bird?"
Another servant ran to bring over the bird cage hanging under the porch. The cage was not a rare and precious bird, but a small sparrow with gray feathers.
Xue Yuan brought the birdcage to the front, looked at the little sparrow inside, became interested, and asked with a chuckle: "You said, when the jade wrench in the hand of the sage was taken away, did the sage deliberately let you take it away, or was it Did you really steal it yourself?"
Naturally, the bird couldn't understand what he said, and the bird turned left and right, pecking at the feathers on its body.
Xue Yuan grinned and walked out of Xue's house with an umbrella and a bird cage.
