Yuan Cixian moved the little monk to her side and leaned over to signal her to speak quickly.

Lu Shuangyu confirmed to her: "I agreed to have three baskets, and no one can be chosen in less."

She nodded: "If you speak well or well, I can teach you the skills of cutting tofu strips tomorrow."

This was what she studied in Shuzhou in various ways.

Lu Shuangyu calmed down and slowly said, "Brother was afraid of dogs because of an accident when she was fifteen years old. Seven years ago, Brother A was named in the list of gold and was a high school student. He had to ride a horse to parade on the street. I heard that when I came to Chang'an from Luoyang, I was just making a fuss to see Brother A. The so-called spring breeze was so proud that the horse's hooves were fast. I saw all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. This parade was really a huge thing, and it was not an exaggeration to say that there were thousands of people in the streets."

"The top scorer and second-place winner who rode his horse with his brother that day were both older. The young ladies in Chang'an City stared at the young brother, and threw flowers and silk handkerchiefs all the way to show their goodwill."

Yuan Cixian listened silently. For some reason, he suddenly felt that the story was a little familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while. He asked first: "Have you answered it?"

She waved her hand: "Brother was thrown all over his head and face, so how could he pick it up? There are so many!"

"Then why did the accident happen in your mouth?"

Lu Shuangyu gritted her teeth when she said this: "At this time of glory, I don't know which naughty little lady in the family actually hit my brother's horse with a slingshot! The horse was frightened and galloped out. After all, my brother was still young and his equestrian was not good enough, so he couldn't stop even if he was strangling."

Yuan Cixian bit her lip quietly. The beginning and the beginning and the end of this story is so familiar, as if she had experienced it personally.

She thought for a while and asked, "Did your brother... fall off later?"

"Yes!" Lu Shuangyu said indignantly, "Brother Ah was so overwhelmed. It's a coincidence that I don't know whose dog was not tied up. Before he had time to get up, he leaned over and sniffed it, then stretched out his fat tongue and licked his mouth!" Lu Shuangyu was aggrieved for her brother, "It would be fine if this scene was embarrassing. Brother Ah has been clean since he was a child. After he came back, he vomited a lot of vegetables and then fell into a shadow. When he saw the dog approaching, he felt uncomfortable all over."

Yuan Cixian asked, "Is the top scholar in that year an old man in his fifties, with gray hair and horses almost unable to ride?"

Lu Shuangyu nodded: "That person is Zhang Pushe, who is now one of the prime ministers. He has never been able to deal with his brother." After answering, she said strangely, "How do you know this?"

How did she know about this? Because she was the very naughty lady who shot Lu Shiqing with a slingshot!

At that time, she was just nine years old and was about to move to Yaozhou with her father and mother. The day before she left, she heard about the grand event of the top scholar parade. She thought she would never see her in the future, so she ran to join in the fun. She was really naughty when she was young. In her impression, Tanhualang was very arrogant that year, so she wanted to tease him, took out a slingshot and shot him a small stone.

But can she tell me about this? No, no, Lu Shiqing will strangle her to death if she knows it.

"I guessed it casually." She stood up indignantly, "It's too much. This little lady who is evil is simply outrageous! Brother, you see her appearance clearly, I want to seek justice for him!"

Seeing that she reacted so fiercely, Lu Shuangyu blinked her eyes a little, then said, "There are too many people. My brother said he didn't see clearly, and he only knew that he was an eight- or nine-year-old girl."

Yuan Cixian felt happy and regretful: "Oh, that's a pity, it's such a pity."

*

The winter solstice will arrive in two days. The so-called "Winter solstice is as big as the New Year". According to the tradition of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a ceremony to worship the heavens must be held in front of the Jinshui Bridge of the Daming Palace on this day. The saints bowed and presided over the presidency, and all officials gathered together to pray for the peace and prosperity of the country and the good weather in the coming year. After that, all civil and military officials in the court will take seven days off.

Lu Shiqing went to Daming Palace early in the morning and came back all day long. During dinner, he ate the soup made by Yuan Cixian and the wontons she and Xuan and Lu Shuangyu.

Yuan Cixian's soup is so sloppy, but the wontons he sold were so ugly. Most of them were crooked and cracked. There were many exposed ones, which were worse than Lu Shuangyu. Lu Shiqing could tell at a glance what was just her work, but he deliberately pretended not to know. When his sister got angry and asked him why he only ate Yuan Cixian's wontons, he said strangely: "I thought such a bad wonton should be made by you. I wanted to take care of your face, but it turned out not?"

Lu Shuangyu was so angry that she ate all the wontons she had made. Afterwards, she kept crying to Xuan that her brother had a sister-in-law and forgot her sister.

However, Yuan Cixian was a guest after all, and there was no need to do these things at all. However, since she learned about what happened seven years ago, she has been guilty, fearing that Lu Shiqing would look at her too much and remember the past one day with a tremor. Therefore, she would like to please him and prepare for the future. And she could get Xuan's praise of "virtuousness" and make soup and make wontons. It would be a good deal.

But Lu Shiqing couldn't help but feel that there was a ghost inside. After all, Yuan Cixian was sincere and false, and he could tell at a glance. Therefore, after he finished a dinner that was hard to show his attentive meal, he went to the ancestral hall to make up for the sunset ancestral worship ceremony, he began to think whether she had something to ask for him again. He secretly waited for her in the study room for a long time, but he didn't see her coming. He thought that she might be difficult for her to speak, so he prepared to take the initiative to deliver it to her.

Lu Shiqing took a bath and stepped out of the room. He was about to go to the East Cluster Courtyard, separated by a wall. When he looked up, he saw a person sitting on the black wall. Yuan Cixian was wearing a frosty winter jacket, wearing his blue blue crane cloak, and his feet swaying with lotus shoes. He was holding his hands along the wall and looking at the sky. He looked boring and wanted to climb over the wall to go out for fun.

He stopped and felt that her habit of climbing the wall was very bad. After all, since ancient times, the wall has been a very dangerous existence. It is not unreasonable that the poem says "Spring is full of colors and the garden cannot be closed, and a red apricot comes out of the wall."

He frowned and said, "What are you doing when you climb the wall?"

There was a silence all over the place. Although Lu Shiqing was far away, Yuan Cixian also heard it with all his ears. When he turned his head, he saw that he was standing under the stone steps in the courtyard, looking at her from afar.

She jumped carefully from the wall and walked towards him, answering, "I'm so bored..."

Why don't you look for him if you're bored?

Lu Shiqing wanted to sting her a few words, but she felt that her voice sounded dull, not as pleasant as the meal just now. I thought it was true that during the Winter Solstice Festival, she must have missed homesickness in the middle of the night.

In previous years, she spent most of her time with her father and mother in Yaozhou. Now if she has brothers to accompany her, she would not be lonely. However, she lived in his Lu Mansion because of Jiang Birou's trouble.

After all, she has not regarded this place as the ancestor worship in the daytime ancestral hall. Because she is embarrassed by her identity, she must not be able to take the initiative to participate. Although his mother treated her well, she was not good enough to take her to "meet her ancestors" before she passed the door. When performing the sacrifice, she should have agreed that she stayed in the East Cross Courtyard.

She never seemed to tell him about these things that might be a little aggrieved, and she even seemed in a good mood during dinner and never showed any of them.

Lu Shiqing secretly regretted that he was careless for a moment. He didn't worry about her emotions. His tone became a little softer than usual and asked her: "Bored? Then what do you want to do?"

Yuan Cixian thought he would say, "If you are bored, go to bed." Hearing this, he said, "Are you here with me?"

He subconsciously prepared to nod, but thought what if she asked him to hold the dog again, so he left some room: "Tell me, I'll think about it."

When she heard that there was a show, she said bluntly: "I want to play Wumu."

Lu Shiqing choked. Wumu is a kind of play, and people often use it to collect money from private gambling shops. This idea is really a waste of money.

Seeing him choking, Yuan Cixian said frustly: "In previous winter solstice, my father and I were both playing Wumu."

Lu Shiqing felt soft-hearted when he heard this. Zheng Zhuo also liked to play with this thing earlier, so he left a pair of Wumu for him. He sighed and agreed, and then said, "Don't let my mother know."

She nodded three times: "Let's go to your study to play secretly."

The two of them sneaked into the study and flipped through the wooden utensils. Lu Shiqing asked her, "Do you carry a copper plate?"

Yuan Cixian shook her head: "If you don't bet on money, it's so boring to bet on money. My father and I used to fight for wine."

Lu Shiqing choked again. When he was Xu Shan, he had already experienced her terrible drunken madness. At that time, he was forced to calm down because of his identity. But if she had used the same trick again and pretended to be drunk and teased him as Lu Shiqing, he would probably not be able to stand it.

He said with an excuse: "You want to get up early tomorrow morning and be drunk, and my mother knows?"

Oh, this is a problem.

Yuan Cixian shook her head: "Then let's use tea instead of wine."

Lu Shiqing continued to refuse: "Drinking tea at night can easily cause insomnia."

She thought he was annoyed and simply gave him the opportunity to set the rules: "What do you think you should do."

Of course, Lu Shiqing had several ways to do what to do, but it was hard to say at the moment, so he planned to wait until he could speak up later, saying: "Those who can throw the 'picking' record one way, and those who can 'prize' record two ways. Those who have more traits will win. In the future, the loser can be asked to do one thing."

Yuan Cixian was very generous and immediately slapped: "Okay, let you come first."

The so-called "five woods" are actually five double-sided dice like almonds, one side is painted black and the other side is painted white. Two of the woods have patterns on both sides, black-faced calf, white-faced pheasant, and the other three woods have no patterns on both sides, so there are four different results: calf, pheasant, mysterious and white.

The so-called "cai" is a combination of five double-sided dices thrown together. There are twelve combinations that can be called "cai", and four of them are the most difficult to throw, and they are also called "guicai", which can generally count double the amount of money.

Lu Shiqing slowly threw out five trees and then reported himself: "Two calfs and three mysterious ones, all black."

Yuan Cixian's eyes turned black. This was a precious treasure that was only one in thirty-two of the chance to throw.

She stared at him blankly: "Are you cheating me?"

He shook his head seriously: "No." Then he reached out to signal, "Please."

She threw away her beliefs and doubts, and a pheasant and four mysterious things, not even an ordinary "picture".

Lu Shiqing took the pen and made a record: "I will remember two things in the first round."

The two of them threw five woods in a round with candlelight. The more Yuan Cixian threw it, the more unbelievable it became. After a stick of incense passed, he looked at the paper at hand, and saw that Lu Shiqing had already recorded eleven pieces, and she had only three pieces.

She didn't believe in this evil, so she tried her best to observe his hands and feet, forced him to slow down the throwing speed, and even asked the two to exchange seats, but no matter how she jumped up and down, the result was the same.

Half an hour later, Lu Shiqing recorded thirty-two records and she recorded ten records.

Yuan Cixian's face turned green: "Lu Shiqing, do you hang out with the gambling house every day?"

Lu Shiqing drank water lightly and said lightly: "Do you think I have someone from that time?"

She was so angry that her lungs were ache at his unsaltitude: "I proposed to play Wumu, so you can't let me?"

He was a little helpless: "It's very difficult for me to lose this kind of betting, it makes you too much trouble."

“…”

He is so capable, why don’t he go to the gambling house to make a fortune!

Yuan Cixian gritted her teeth and said dissatisfiedly: "Come again!"

"It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."

"You can take seven days off in a row and sleep later! Come again!"

Seeing this, Lu Shiqing taught her seriously: "This mentality is not advisable. Some gamblers like you have embarked on the road of no return. After losing their money, they are not convinced. They borrow money everywhere and finally owe a lot of debts. The creditor came to the door and broke his leg and could not have a good ending."

“…”

Is he hinting that she will not have a good ending in the future?

Yuan Cixian grabbed her face and looked like she was about to cry: "If I was caught up by the creditor, wouldn't you pay back the money for me?"

Lu Shiqing just wanted to take the gamblers as an example and use their fate to persuade Yuan Cixian, so that she could stop early and give up competing with him. But she knew that the thoughts in her head were jumping like a galloping horse. She was stunned and then said seriously: "My salary is not high, so I can afford it."

Yuan Cixian was so angry that she wanted to beat him.

Lu Shiqing looked at her tragic defeat and said, "Okay, the winner is decided. Go back to sleep, and there will be some serious business tomorrow."

Yuan Cixian stopped making trouble now, blinked, and seemed to understand something, and asked: "Isn't your letter effective?"

He nodded: "The saint may call you into the palace early tomorrow morning."

She still doesn't know what trick Lu Shiqing is doing. She asked him several times these days, but saw that he kept keeping him indifferent. Now she asked again: "Since that's the case, just tell me what is in that letter? I know, so I'm better prepared."

He shook his head: "There is no need for mental preparation. Without mental preparation, the best preparation is to show off if you know too much."
