Feng Wu was about to say a few more words when she suddenly saw Bao'er running back. She blushed from running, and said excitedly: "Mother, mother, I have done something big today."
Feng Wu and Ju Muer sat up straight suddenly. Feng Wu stabilized her mind, pulled her baby girl and asked: "Speak slowly, what big event did you do?"
Bao'er said: "Uncle took us to a restaurant for snacks, and then there was a group of people who were annoying, they set up a few pianos, let a few children play, uncle was talking to brother Qingsheng, thought they were noisy, so let them The guard uncle went to talk about it, but someone over there said that none of us in the Dragon Mansion can play the piano and laughed at us."
Feng Wu nodded, feeling that she understood: "Then your uncle got angry, didn't he?"
Bao'er nodded.
Feng Wu asked again: "Your uncle was about to go over and chop people's tables, did you stop him?" Uncle Long's violent temper flared up, and ordinary people couldn't stop it, and her Bao'er really did it event.
But Bao'er shook her head: "Uncle didn't go, I did."
Feng Wu and Ju Muer opened their mouths wide in surprise, and Baoer continued, "I went over and told them, who said that our Long family can't play the piano."
The little doll stopped here. Feng Wu asked anxiously: "And then?"
"Then I played it to them."
Feng Wu was surprised: "Bao'er, baby, can you play?"
Bao'er nodded vigorously: "Mother, it's very easy. With a flick of the hand, the piano will start to ring."
Feng Wu turned her head to look at Ju Muer, who was serious about playing the piano, and was dumbfounded. Here Bao'er is still saying: "I pluck and pluck hard, and the piano keeps ringing."
This is playing the piano
Feng Wu closed her mouth, feeling that she couldn't hurt her daughter's self-confidence no matter what. So I wanted to praise her, and after thinking for a long time, I squeezed out a sentence: "Bao'er, you really have the style of a general." This fearless energy, even a mother like her can't compare it to herself.
Bao'er giggled, and shyly threw herself into Feng Wu's arms.
At this moment, Long Da and Long Qingsheng walked in, and Bao'er ran to Long Qingsheng again: "Brother Qingsheng, mother praised me for being a general."
Long Da coughed hard, and said to Feng Wu: "Don't mislead the children."
"I didn't." Feng Wu was confident.
Long Da asked Long Qingsheng to take Bao'er to play outside, saw the two children out of the yard, and then said to Feng Wu: "Bao'er's general wind caused trouble. Those luthiers are from Ximin country, they go first I came to Beijing to inquire about the arrangement, and even brought my child disciples to show off in the restaurant. Bao'er used to play wildly, but the other party regarded it as a humiliation, and said that he would let Bao'er enter the palace to play the piano."
"No?" Feng Wu was dumbfounded.
What kind of trouble is this that a Qin-blind child enters the palace to fight Qin on behalf of the Qin-blind family
The six-year-old boy accepted the letter of war, which sounds very prestigious, but the three brothers of the Longfu all know the danger here.
Although the piano competition between the two countries is a literary battle, it also involves the face of the monarch and the dignity of the country. So Bao'er is involved in it, if it is done well, everyone will laugh it off as a joke, and if it is not done well, it will be used by caring people, then it will be troublesome.
So Long Da sent his men to Lesi Mansion to inquire about the details of the visit of the Ximin State Qin Master, and then went to the inn where the Ximin State Qin Master stayed to find out if they had other plans. Long Er went to visit Tian Zhong, Minister of Rites, and he wanted to make sure that the so-called war invitation received by the six-year-old baby was just a joke in the restaurant, and he wanted to make it fade away. And Long San checked from the other side of the rivers and lakes to see if there was anything strange about this matter.
But everyone didn't expect that before they acted, the "deed" of Miss Bao'er from Longfu who was so courageous and calmly defeated the foreign luthiers had already spread in the market.
The conversation between Long Er and Tian Shangshu did not go well, because things had already become serious. Tian Zhong frowned, with a troubled expression on his face: "Second Master, this matter has been discussed heatedly in the public. You see, it has already come to me within half a day. Everyone said that a six-year-old child suppressed the arrogance of a Ximin luthier , Congratulations. But Ximin envoys came to me to complain, saying that they came to visit sincerely, but were humiliated. If this matter cannot be handled properly, it may lead to war."
Long Er pondered, speechless to refute, and in the end he could only ask Tian Zhong to try his best to suppress and calm down this matter. Tian Zhong readily agreed.
Long Er knew that it was useless to entrust Tian Zhong with this matter, and he had to find someone who could really handle it.
He went to see the emperor.
The emperor and Long Er have a very deep friendship, this friendship not only comes from the mutual interests of the two, but also the mutual admiration for each other's temperament. The emperor is used to seeing courtiers who are fearful and fearful, and has seen too many sycophantic expressions, so he is quite satisfied with Long Er's stingy virtue of "I won't do it if it's not good" on the surface. In addition, he owed a lot of credit to the Long family for his throne, so the relationship between him and Long Er has always been good.
The emperor was very happy to see him coming, and set up a chessboard to play a few games with him.
Long Er hated Qin for the first time in his life, because the whole country loves it but he doesn't understand it, so he really can't love it. The second thing I hate is chess. In fact, his chess skills are good, but every time he plays chess with the emperor, he will always be asked by the emperor to "spend money for the country" at the end of the game.
Although Long Er has made a lot of money by relying on the emperor's grace, letting him pocket the money and then take it out will make him uncomfortable like cutting him with a knife.
As time goes by, Long Er gets a headache when he sees the chessboard, and every time he thinks about his money, his liver hurts even more.
But this time the emperor didn't have the idea of Long Er's money and silver. He was more interested in the gossip about Long Er's marriage, and asked several questions in a row: How did you meet? How did you get engaged? Why did you see a blind girl
Long Er and the emperor have a good relationship, so there is no taboo to talk in private, so he said: "I am handsome and talented, and it is common for women to fall in love with each other."
Long Er's bragging made the emperor laugh: "This is indeed a common thing, but it is not common to make you nod to marry her. You don't know that you have not married for a long time, which has made several ministers think about it. They have come here in private. Chatting with me, wanting me to help find out the meaning, or set up a matchmaker to point out marriage."
Smoke rose from Long Er's head: "Thank you adults for your love."
"You can't blame them. Taking you in as a son-in-law means that the family has an extra treasury. In addition to your business connections and connections, those officials don't treat you as a piece of fat."
"Your Majesty, those officials and that fat piece of meat are all your subjects, is it correct for you to say so?"
"I also think that piece of fat should not be left to dry for too long, otherwise it will be bad if there is a fight and the hearts of the officials will be disturbed."
"The emperor praised it absurdly."
"I'm seriously thinking that if you don't marry again, I should propose marriage to you within this year. I'm also bothered by those who are always talking about it."
"The emperor is not bothered by the nagging, but because I don't need to marry a wife to be at ease?"
"Hmph, you do understand. You will persuade me to marry this and that, to gain power and build power, but you kill yourself and don't want to be an official, and earn some money to be free outside. It doesn't please me how you look at it. "
"Your Majesty, what you said is true. How can I and other ordinary people persuade the Emperor to set up a concubine? It is obvious that the Emperor himself is very happy to marry. The Emperor also uses the money I earned quite easily. Now I can't say no." It's pleasing to the eye."
The emperor squinted at him: "I can't help myself, do you think I can be happy if I have more concubines? None of them are comfortable people, very boring. If I can be like you, I will not marry if I want to, If you want to marry, you can marry, that would be great."
"Caomin don't have the blessing of not marrying if they don't want to, and marrying if they want to marry. Just now someone said that if Caomin doesn't marry again, they will be accused of marriage."
The emperor laughed loudly: "That's true. If you are a few months later, I will definitely appoint a high-ranking official daughter to be your wife."
Long Er had a smile on his face, but he understood in his heart that although the emperor's words were meant as a joke, if he really had a stake, in order to win over his subjects and stabilize the overall situation, he was really capable of forcing a marriage. It's just that if there is such a time, the fight is not only about which relationship is more important to the emperor, but also the ability to solve the layout of the bureau.
Just like the chessboard in front of you.
Long Er smiled, dropped his hand, and said: "I will definitely tell Mu'er when I go back, congratulations to her for taking the lead and winning the first place."
"It seems that you are very satisfied with this lady?"
"Be obedient and playful, I really like it." Speaking of this, Long Er was very proud. After marrying him, Mu'er was indeed obedient and obedient, which filled him with a sense of accomplishment as a man. Of course, he automatically ignored the occasional situation where he was choked and speechless.
The emperor stared at the chessboard, thought about it for a long time, and said: "Hmph, don't come here to show off. My mind is not much different from yours. If you are careful, I am not happy. Let you pay for it with a name." .”
"I am the most broad-minded."
The emperor raised his head and laughed loudly: "You really dare to say it."
Long Er also laughed, and then said: "My Bao'er got into trouble."
The emperor was startled: "Bao'er, baby?"
Long Er nodded.
The emperor was a little surprised: "To make you come to me, this baby has grown up." He has met Bao'er twice, she is a shy and well-behaved child. At that time, Long Er had promised to call her Bao'er, but when the emperor called her, the emperor was deeply impressed by the child's shy and cute smile.
"What did she do?"
Long Er general Bao'er played the qin in a restaurant to annoy the Qin envoy of Ximin State, and was sent a letter of war, the emperor was stunned when he heard it. Should I praise this baby for being brave
"This matter was not difficult to deal with at first, but it spread quickly in the market, but now it is difficult to get rid of. Tian Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites can't explain it well, and Ximin Guoqin envoy refuses this matter, fearing that it will cause disputes."
The emperor nodded: "His concerns are right. What kind of Qin did Ximin Guo come here for no reason, and I didn't know what the tricks were. The ministers didn't have any good suggestions, so I had to accept it. Now that Bao'er's incident happened, the Ministry of Rites naturally dare not make decisions on its own, but if it is reported for the sake of the baby, it will be embarrassing."
"He didn't want to understand, but I had to come to the emperor. Rejecting the letter of war from Ximin Kingdom may cause trouble, but it is not a good thing to accept it. Bao'er doesn't know what playing the piano is. If it is really playing in the palace In a fit of anger, since the Ximin Kingdom has ulterior motives, they will naturally not let go of this opportunity to ridicule, and who will be responsible for insulting the country's prestige?"
That's kind of the point. At that time, it is not good to punish the crime of a baby, and it is not unreasonable to punish the crime of the Ministry of Rites. The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "What's your idea?"
"Since we want to play the qin, there is no reason for my Bao'er to fight alone. The children learning the qin in the capital can easily grab a handful. The emperor sent a message to the Ministry of Rites. The baby qin masters of our country must not lose in numbers and momentum to the Ximin country. Adults fight adults, and dolls fight dolls. They came from afar, and brought many children who were learning the piano, so it must have been premeditated."
The emperor had an epiphany: "What you said really reminded me. I heard that the chief violinist of Ximin Kingdom has extraordinary piano skills, and there are few opponents. We first lost a teacher Boyin, and then lost a Hua Yibai." , although the other luthiers are also famous, but from what I hear, they are not as talented as those two. Now that Bao'er has taken the lead, it is really possible to find a reason for the baby luthier to destroy the prestige of the Ximin country."
Long Er nodded in agreement, he was not interested in Mieweifeng or anything like that, and playing the piano was too boring, so he didn't care either. As long as other children are pulled into the water, his Bao'er will be a bird in his early years. There will be a lot of people and things will be complicated, maybe Bao'er doesn't even need to touch the piano, and let those who really learn the piano compete with themselves.
In this way, Junmin and Min made a detailed agreement, and after chatting about gossip and right and wrong, they played two games of chess, Long Er finally went back satisfied.
Long Er went back to Long Mansion, intending to discuss with Mu'er and ask her to teach Bao'er how to play the piano. I don't expect Bao'er to become a master of the qin in such a short period of time, but I still need to understand the basics of melody. Don't really go to the qin game, thinking that plucking the strings is just playing the qin in front of the courtiers and the emperor.
Long Er was thinking like this, but when he passed by Long Qingsheng's academy, he saw Bao'er sitting quietly in the courtyard with her beloved little cat in his arms. Seeing Long Er at the door, she happily waved her little hand and called, "Second Uncle."
"Why are you here by yourself?" Long Er went over and patted Bao'er's head.
Bao'er smiled sweetly: "Master is teaching brother Qingsheng to study, I can't go in and disturb him."
Such a good little doll is really distressing. Long Er said: "Second Uncle will take you to play elsewhere."
"I don't want it." Bao'er shook his head, "Brother Qingsheng asked me to wait for him, saying that he would take me and the little cat to play after finishing school. I can't go away."
Long Er raised his eyebrows: "It will take a while to study for my birthday, why don't you go and see Qiaoer?"
"Brother Qingsheng said that I have already taken a nap with my sister, so I will accompany my brother in the afternoon."
Long Er raised his eyebrows again, is this little boy easy to kidnap or not? Forget it, he'd better go back and abduct his wife.
Just thinking about going back to tease my daughter-in-law to relax, when I turned my head, I saw my daughter-in-law coming.
Holding a bamboo stick, Ju Muer was slowly walking towards this side led by the maid. Long Er was about to call, but Bao'er hugged the little cat and ran over: "Second uncle, pet the little cat for you."
Ju Muer laughed, touched it carefully, and praised: "Bao'er's little cat is really comfortable to touch."
Bao'er giggled and raised her face triumphantly.
Ju Mu'er knelt down and said to Bao'er, "My dear baby, can Second Auntie teach you how to play the piano?"
When Long Er heard this, he couldn't help laughing. Should it be said that their husband and wife are of the same mind, or have a tacit understanding
But Bao'er replied: "Playing the piano is not fun."
"What does Bo'er like?"
"I used to like to draw."
"why?"
"Because I want to write a letter to my mother, Bao'er can't write, so I draw pictures for my mother." Bao'er's answer reminded Long Er of the tragic situation back then, and he couldn't help rubbing his forehead. The painting was so horrible that he couldn't see what it was, and he was so tired that he had to write comments beside it to let people understand, but Bao'er still felt very good about himself.
Ju Mu'er didn't know how good Bao'er's painting skills were, so she smiled and asked, "I used to like to draw, but now?"
"Now I like the little cat."
"Is the little cat a gift from Brother Qingsheng?"
"Yeah." Bo'er nodded vigorously.
"Brother Qingsheng gave Bao'er such a cute little cat, so Bao'er should give something back to Brother Qingsheng, right?" Ju Muer coaxed.
"Yes." Bo'er nodded vigorously again.
"Bao'er is the best at playing the piano, playing in a restaurant, isn't it very impressive?"
Bao'er tilted her head and thought about everyone's expressions, as if she was stunned, so she answered "yes" and nodded.
Ju Muer smiled, and said again: "Second aunt can teach Bao'er to play better, let Qingsheng brother do this." Ju Muer made an exaggerated "wow" expression, and Bao'er giggled when she saw it .
"Let's make Brother Qingsheng feel that Bao'er is amazing, how about playing the piano well?"
Bao'er was still laughing, and replied in a crisp voice: "Bao'er really wants Brother Qingsheng to 'wow'."
"Yeah, let's make a deal like this." Ju Mu'er reached out to touch Bao'er's head, but she couldn't see, and the direction was a bit off. Bao'er took the initiative to rub her head under Ju Muer's palm, and Ju Muer couldn't help laughing again: "My dear baby, your second uncle has a piano, you can use it for Baoer."
Bao'er's eyes lit up, and she was about to ask Long Er, but Long Er had already shouted: "When will I have that thing?"
Ju Muer didn't expect Long Er to be on the side, so she let out a "wow" in fright, and sat on the ground. Seeing this, Bao'er giggled, and followed her example, and sat down on the ground.
Long Er sighed, and went to pull the big and the young up.
"How could the second master overhear?" Ju Muer curled her lips.
"My lord listened openly."
"Then why didn't the second master speak?"
"It's very interesting to see you coaxing the children. Grandpa is very happy."
"Then I gave the piano and the score to the second master before, and the second master can let Bao'er use it."
Long Er raised his eyebrows, turned to Bao'er and said: "Bao'er, boy, go and play with your birthday brother, he must be finishing his studies soon." Hearing that, Bao'er ran away in a hurry. Long Er angrily dismissed the maid, and took Ju Mu'er to the back room.
There was no one around, so he started admonishing his wife: "The piano and the score are mine."
Ju Muer didn't turn the corner: "That's a small piano for children, the second master can't use it."
"It's mine." Long Er emphasized his tone.
"What's the use of the second master?"
"Pretending to be happy." Long Er was full of air, "My wife specially gave it to me to attract my attention. I will keep it, and I will have to tell my descendants in the future how my wife fell in love with me at the beginning, racking my brains." I used tricks to make me pay attention to her step by step, and finally I couldn't bear her affection and agreed to her marriage proposal."
Ju Muer was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond to him, and then heard him say: "Also, Bao'er's parents should pay for the taels of silver that Bao'er needs to spend on buying the piano."
Ju Muer gritted her teeth and said, "Second Master is right."
Long Er suddenly said: "Mu'er, when you think I'm not good, you will call me Second Lord, right?"
"Msister-in-law is worrying too much. When I did everything possible to get the second master to pay attention that day, wasn't it the second master who called me? It's just that when you talk about the past with your children and grandchildren, don't forget to tell them. When I saw you for the first time that day, Mr. I was having an intimate conversation with a rich lady. The second time I met my husband, he was having a happy gathering with a group of rich ladies. Afterwards, my husband sent me home, and after wandering around the place of fireworks, he took me with a gentle makeup Send me off."
Long Er's face froze, is this resetting the old score
Ju Mu'er continued: "Master, you must tell your children and grandchildren how I am broad-minded, brave and fearless, and I proposed to my husband as soon as my eyes were darkened."
"..." Long Er secretly gritted his back molars. A woman who is fussy and stingy is really unpleasant.
