Said to go to the South China Sea, but it is not so simple. From Daye to the South China Sea, either take the land route and cross the border of Yuze; or take the water route, enter the East China Sea from Suizhou, and then detour to the South China Sea. It takes time to negotiate with Yuze by land, but it takes time to rebuild the fleet by water. Fortunately, Yuze handed a credential to visit a few days ago. After Yuze's envoy arrives in Beijing, he can discuss it again.
Moreover, Xiao Zhige always felt that maybe Yuze would have records related to the merpeople. But these things can't be rushed, and we can only talk about it after the Yuze envoy arrives.
The next day is An Changqing's birthday. Although there is no big deal, but friends who know each other will come to beg for drinks on this day, so there are many people. An Changqing got up early in the morning, first punched Xiao Zhige together, and then went to shower and change. Because of today's birthday, Wang Yu's uniforms and hair crown were all festive red, and after putting them on, the whole person became brighter. Xiao Zhige was standing beside him in his black woven gold uniform, which matched him very well.
Before they could go out, the wet nurse hugged the Xiao Anheng brothers and sisters again. Today, both brothers and sisters also put on festive red clothes. Chubby looks like a blessing baby, and An Changqing reached out to pick it up, and Xiao Anheng kissed him wetly on the cheek. Xiao Anzhu didn't like it when she saw it, she leaned over from the wet nurse's arms and pulled An Changqing's sleeve, so anxious that she called daddy.
An Changqing had no choice but to hug her again. Xiao Anzhu was hugged, and she was satisfied. Her small arms wrapped around An Changqing's cheeks and kissed each other.
Xiao Zhige stood behind and asked, "How did I teach you last night?"
Xiao Anzhu was at a loss, Xiao Anheng stared for a while, and just remembered something, she hurriedly kissed An Changqing on the face, and said, "Daddy, birthday, Lele!"
This was specially given to them by Xiao Zhige when they slept last night, but although the two brothers and sisters looked precocious, they were still young and they forgot after a sleep. Xiao Anheng still remembered some, but Xiao Anzhu forgot all about it. Hearing what his brother said, he immediately followed up, and then nibbled on An Changqing's chin unconvinced.
An Changqing's face was full of drool, and she accompanied the brothers and sisters for a while, guessing that the guests should arrive, so she asked the nurse to carry them to the back. Xiao Zhige took the cloth towel prepared by Wang Yu and wiped his face before going to the front with him.
Zhou Helan was the first to arrive, followed by Qi Wei and others. It was still early, and the first guests were drinking tea in the flower hall. An Changqing and Xiao Zhige were the masters, so they sat in the master seat and listened to their chatting, occasionally interjecting a few words.
Among the guests, Qi Wei was the one who couldn't keep his mouth shut, and because of his young Mu Ai's mind wasted away early, he was a little sour towards Zhou Helan, and he couldn't help but run a few words whenever he encountered it. It was the same today, without saying a few words, it was brought to Zhou Helan again.
"Seeing that the exam is approaching, you don't prepare for the exam at home, why do you still have time to drink? I heard that many matchmakers these days have said that they are kissing, so don't relax because you are fascinated by random flowers."
Xie Ling next to him calmly kicked him, and used his eyes to signal him to be honest and not to be run on by others - this fool can't grab a girl, but he can't grab a girl, so he said a few sour words back and forth, and he was blocked by others. It doesn't take long for me to remember, and next time I see it, I'll have to get together and give it a run.
But Qi Wei was still very disrespectful, turned his head and said angrily: "Xie Ling, why are you kicking me? Am I wrong? A mere Xie Yuan is not worthy of..." Halfway through, he remembered that he couldn't ruin An Xianyu's reputation. After a while, he changed his words and said, "...not worthy of a real good girl."
After he finished speaking, he said to Zhou Helan, "Are you saying what I said is right? At least you have to be in the top three, right?"
Zhou Helan drank tea leisurely, put down the tea cup after hearing this, took out a handkerchief embroidered with three yuan in the middle and wiped his mouth, carefully folded it into his sleeve, and nodded with a smile: "What did General Qi say? Yes, I will never let her down. I will try my best."
Qi Wei snorted coldly: "It's good that you know. If you fail the test, I won't let you go."
Xie Ling next to him sighed deeply for his friend's dullness, and said aloud, "Brother Zhou's handkerchief is exquisite and has a good meaning."
Zhou Helan smiled softly, glanced at Qi Wei sideways, and said warmly, "It's a gift from a very important person."
Qi Wei's eyes widened, looked at Zhou Helan and then at Xie Ling, leaned sideways to Xie Ling's ear and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean? Okay, what are you doing with your handkerchief?"
"..." Xie Ling looked at him sympathetically and couldn't help but said, "Miss An doesn't like you, but there is a reason why she likes Zhou Helan."
"???" Suddenly being poked into the wound, Qi Wei became a little embarrassed, and lowered his voice: "Miss An... If you don't like me, you don't necessarily like him! Where are you from?"
Xie Ling picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, and said perfunctorily: "Okay, of course it's on your side, drink tea, today is King Yan's birthday, don't say a few words, so as not to implicate me and you again. punished by His Majesty."
Qi Wei was still a little cursing in his heart, but remembering that he was only hit with 20 military sticks last time, he didn't dare to continue to find fault with Zhou Helan, so he had to drink tea angrily.
After all the guests arrived, the servants began to set up the table and invite everyone to sit.
Since there were all male guests in the front hall, it was inconvenient for the female family members to sit with them. When the banquet was opened, only Mrs. Yu specially brought the longevity noodles made by himself. A small bowl of longevity noodles with golden noodles and clear soup was indispensable for An Changqing's birthday every year.
His birthday was also the Good Friday of his biological mother. Especially because he was different from ordinary people, Yu suffered a lot in order to protect him. An Changqing ate the noodles in one go, then poured wine solemnly, and thanked Yu for his kindness.
Yu drank a few glasses of wine with them before leaving, and only asked the young people to drink and have fun.
The birthday banquet was lively until the sky turned dark before it was temporarily suspended. They are all friends of similar age get together, and after drinking, they are less bound by monarchs and ministers, and they are more happy to play. Drinking and throwing pots, fighting cards and drinking orders... I played all the tricks that could be played. Everyone drank a lot, even An Changqing was half drunk.
The sobering soup was sent to the kitchen, and everyone drank it, and then the banquet was over. Those who are not drunk will come to say goodbye on their own, while those who are drunk will be sent back to their respective houses by horse-drawn carriages. After the guests were all gone, Xiao Zhige turned back and went to help the drunk people in the hall.
An Changqing drank a bit too much today, and the hangover soup didn't work either. The whole person was erratic, and it looked like a double image.
Seeing Xiao Zhige coming to help him vaguely, he frowned and mumbled softly, "Dizzy, hold me."
Xiao Zhige moved for a while, couldn't help pinching his nose, and instead hugged him horizontally: "Little drunk, this is what you want to hug yourself." When he was sober, An Changqing didn't want him outside. Hold him, for fear that the next person will see the joke.
"Well." An Changqing was hugged horizontally by him, and skillfully found a comfortable position in his embrace. Being carried back to the main courtyard by Xiao Zhige, he tried his best to widen his eyes and said, "Where's my birthday ceremony?"
"You're drunk, see you tomorrow." Xiao Zhige put him on the bed and took off his boots.
"I'm not drunk, I'm going to watch it now." An Changqing kicked his legs, pushed him away, stepped on the carpet with his bare feet, and staggered to look for his own birthday ceremony.
Xiao Zhige didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to push him back to the bed and put the quilt on his waist before coaxing, "Sit down, I'll get it for you."
An Changqing is very coaxing now, so she nodded obediently when she heard the words: "I'll sit down."
Xiao Zhige then turned around to fetch the wooden box and put it in An Changqing's hand. His expression softened: "I wanted to show it to you at night, but I never thought that I would become a little drunk."
"I said I'm not drunk." An Changqing frowned and muttered, but opened the wooden box in his hand, took out the scroll inside and slowly unfolded it - this is a picture scroll, the picture is of a familiar courtyard, in the garden there is a A swing. There are three people, one big, two small, and three sitting on the swing. The eldest is An Changqing, and the youngest is the brother and sister Xiao Anheng. It should be a spring day in the painting, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are prosperous, the father and son are sitting on the swing happily, and Xiao Zhige is standing behind them and guarding them carefully, his eyes are gentle and slender. Under the scroll, there is also an inscription from a predecessor's verse, "The River and Mountains of the Late Sun".
An Changqing stared at it for a while, then turned to look at Xiao Zhige: "Did you draw it?"
Xiao Zhige gave a "hmm", and his expression rarely showed a bit of embarrassment: "The farewell is too ordinary, so I painted a picture myself."
love reading
An Changqing turned to look at the painting again. After reading it for a long time, he pointed to the poem and asked, "What does this poem mean? Why isn't it signed?"
Xu was drunk, so his questions jumped and he asked whatever he thought of, but Xiao Zhige still answered patiently: "I wanted you to sign with An Heng and An Zhu."
An Changqing frowned again, not sure if the drunkard understood, but he suddenly straightened up again, ignoring Xiao Zhige's obstruction, and ran barefoot into the outer cabinet to rummage. Finally, I found a purple jade seal, and happily held the seal and said, "Use this to stamp!"
Xiao Zhige looked helpless and had to take the seal. The seal is carved from high-quality purple jadeite, with a simple and simple appearance, but the tentacles are smooth and oily, apparently carefully polished by someone. Looking at the engraving on the seal, the words "Xiao Anhengzhu" were clearly engraved on it.
Xiao Anhengzhu... Xiao Zhige felt a heat in his heart, rubbed the seal and asked, "Hey, what seal is engraved, why don't I know?"
An Changqing only found the seal, and when he asked this, he was stunned, and then seemed to remember something and became nervous, hurriedly grabbed the seal from his hand, and said fiercely: "Don't move. , this is your birthday present!"
After finishing talking, he was looking for a place to hide like a headless fly. Xiao Zhige's heart was soft and hot, and he took the little drunk who was running around the house with bare feet into his arms and pressed it on the collapse, and coaxed the seal from his hand to put it properly again before sticking to his. Lip said: "Well, I like this birthday gift very much, I will give the same gift again..."
An Changqing's eyes widened in confusion, and was forced to accept another unique "birthday gift" from Xiao Zhige.
***
The next day, An Changqing failed to get up early, and when he woke up, Xiao Zhige had already returned. He was sitting beside the bed playing with the Zi Fei seal. When he saw him wake up, he smiled: "Wake up? Does it have a headache?"
An Changqing shook his head, his eyes fell on the seal, then moved to the scroll, and remembered last night... His face turned red and blue, and he couldn't help but gouged out Xiao Zhige fiercely. Last night, he was the one who coaxed himself to write a signature, and took a brush on him...
Xiao Zhige didn't realize it, and said, "This is the piece of purple jade you picked earlier, right? When did you secretly carve it?"
When he went to Liangzhou to discuss the ownership of the jadeite mine with Xiji, An Changqing brought back a piece of purple jadeite material. It's just that after a lot of things happened and he returned to Yejing again, Xiao Zhige never saw him again, he just thought he had lost interest. Unexpectedly, he had already secretly carved it, and even wrote the names of a family of four on it.
Just like when he inscribed on the picture scroll "The Country is Beautiful in the Late Sun", An Changqing's father and son belonged to him; and An Changqing also quietly engraved the family's name on the seal.
Thinking of what happened yesterday, An Changqing was annoyed, gave him another look, and angrily stretched out his foot and kicked him: "Bring the picture scroll and ink pad, I want to stamp it."
Xiao Zhige spread the things in front of him, and handed him the seal dipped in ink pad. An Changqing took the seal, pursed his lips and solemnly placed the seal under the inscription.
"Okay." An Changqing finally became happy again, and directed Xiao Zhige to work: "We have to find another place to hang it."
It's just a question of where to hang it. Qianzheng Palace, Chongzheng Palace Side Hall, Imperial Study Room, Yanwang Mansion... There are too many places to hang, but there is only one painting, it is really difficult to choose.
Xiao Zhige carefully put the seal in the box and said, "This painting is to be hung in the imperial study. When I paint a painting every year, I can always fill these places."
An Changqing was amused by him and laughed: "You are not afraid of being laughed at by ministers."
Xiao Zhige hugged him even with the quilt: "What's the joke? I'm afraid they won't even be envious."
Good time and beautiful family, both children and children, I am afraid that no one is more blessed than him.
The author has something to say: cowardly; when I fill up the imperial study, I will set an example for those ministers with three wives and four concubines.
