The sun shines from the bare branches and shines on your body warmly.≤

Lin Suniang took Panpan to squat beside a small coal ball stove, patiently watching the heat. Panpan leaned on her mother, looking at the stove curiously and the small pot on the stove.

Not far away, Li Zhang stood in the yard, looking at Xu Ping in front of him with his hands and feet raised.

After a while, Xu Ping stopped and shouted to Lin Su Niang on the side: "Su Niang, is the pot ready? It's getting late. I'll have a drink with Brother Li. It's too late!"

"It's going to be fine soon, what's the matter!"

Lin Suniang picked up the lid and looked at Xu Ping, saying to Panpan, who hid in his mother's arms and grimaced at Xu Ping.

Xu Ping shook his head helplessly and said to Li Zhang: "Forget it, I'm alone, I'm thrusting my hands and feet, so that when I don't know, I think it's a rosy wind."

Li Zhang looked at Xu Ping and smiled, "Since my brother is impatient, I'll just do it today. But when you have nothing to do in daily life, you should practice more. There are always others on duty in the Hemen area. If you see it, you may have to play the game."

"I am a little judge, so the emperor has so much time to summon me."

Xu Ping said, stopped, and went to the stove, touched Panpan's head. After so many days, Panpan finally got to know her father and was willing to recognize her father. Especially when she knew that her father was not by her side for a long time, she felt guilty. As long as she wanted something, she almost never refused, she often secretly asked Xu Ping for snacks on her mother.

The last time he returned to Beijing, the emperor summoned the couple. Xu Ping was not familiar with etiquette for many years and was not familiar with it. It was Li Zhang who took her and pretended not to see it, so he got confused. It was not Xu Ping's fault. When he left, the empress dowager was in power. The group of people went together, and there were not so many rules.

But now it is different. Li Yong and this relationship have a different position in the emperor's mind. Maybe he will be summoned to speak at any time, and he can't always rely on Li Zhang to cover it up. Today, Li Zhang is on vacation, so he comes to teach Xu Ping the etiquette of entering the palace.

The rest are nothing more than that. Xu Ping was even enduring the praise of the poem, but Xu Ping couldn't practice the dance before entering the hall. He danced and sang, who thought of using this action before entering the hall? How could he think this action was stupid? Xu Ping felt extremely embarrassed when he moved, and felt awkward.

You can't blame Xu Ping for being pretentious. In fact, all the civil and military officials in the court think that this move is too stupid, but they just don't dare to say it casually. Not only do the ministers feel awkward, but the emperor also feels bored. You are dancing outside and feel embarrassed, and the emperor is still anxious in the palace. However, this is the etiquette handed down from the previous dynasty. If you think it is not suitable, the monarch and ministers will endure it together. It was not until Song Huizong, who felt good about himself, came to power that he canceled the etiquette and put on a hat with a barbarian style, which completely cut off the possibility of resurgence.

However, Xu Ping still has to endure this embarrassment now. Every time he thinks of the emperor taking this action, Xu Ping is so disgusting that he doesn't want to see Zhao Zhen again.

Lin Suniang opened the lid of the pot and the rich meat fragrance floated out of the pot.

"It smells so good!" Panpan shrank his little nose and sniffed it, and said to Xu Ping beside him.

Lin Suniang stood up and said, "You guys wait a moment, I'll go in and get the wine."

Seeing Lin Su Niang enter the room, Panpan took Xu Ping's hand and said, "Dad, give me a piece first!"

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head, pinched a corner of a piece of meat in the pot, lifted it up, and said to Panpan: "Open your mouth, be careful to be hot!"

Panpan opened his mouth and held the meat in Xu Ping's hand, and kept inhaling. When he heard the door ringing, Panpan hurriedly grabbed Li Zhang's hand and pulled it away until it was a little further away from the pot. He pretended to play with him, while chewing the meat in his mouth.

Lin Suniang took the wine, looked into the pot, turned around and said, "Panpan, have you eaten again?"

Panpan swallowed the flesh in his mouth and turned around and said, "I haven't!" As he said, his eyes rolling around, thinking about who to give him an excuse.

Lin Suniang shook her head and ignored her again.

The child just likes to make trouble. If you really want to cook a pot of meat for her, she will stop eating it. She will have to eat it secretly. The Xu family is not a small family, so Panpan doesn’t have less meat to eat, but she still likes to eat it secretly.

Sitting down next to him, Xu Ping and Li Zhang cried a glass of wine with the newly cooked mutton.

Li Zhang put down his wine glass and said, "Yongzhou offers prisoners, and it is scheduled to be held on the 21st of Guichou next month, the day before Xiaoxue. At the beginning of the month, my father came back from Dangxiang, and it was just in time. My brother was the one who led his troops into Shenglong Mansion, so he would definitely be rewarded. I hope my father and I will also benefit from my brother's favor and be promoted to a half-time position."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Are you still afraid of being promoted slowly now? You should not ask for too much rush to enter and get a handle on others."

Concubine Li Chen suffered all her life, and all her blessings fell on Li Yong and his only younger brother. When he was old, the emperor recognized his relatives. He wanted to be promoted to the governor at once. Unfortunately, the ministers in the court looked at him and couldn't get too fast. He had to raise a little at a time, and once every once in a while. The so-called small steps and running quickly.

As for the prisoners, Xu Ping did not expect to be so big at first. As the people were on the road, the war reports from Yongzhou reached the capital, and suddenly many ministers began to care. The locals reported that the four barbarians came to envoys and the world was grateful. Xu Ping was completely unwilling to think about it. Especially when the border reports came to the unstable Dangxiang and Yuanhao had a rebellion, the prime minister wanted to use this prisoner to show the power of the Song army, and waited for the Khitan, Dangxiang and Dali and other neighboring countries to participate.

Thinking about it, there were hundreds of people in Jiaozhi, the emperor and ministers, and Li Foma's concubines, and the uterus maids, all of whom were all over several thousand. Along the way, I spent a lot of money on local food alone, and I had to find a way to get something back.

Of course, the ceremony was presided over by the important officials. Xu Ping got a representative of Yongzhou to surrender the Jiaozhi. Other things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know if it would affect his contribution.

Gradually the sun sets and the light begins to become hazy. Li Zhang stood up and stretched: "I just drank a few glasses of wine and couldn't hold it anymore. It's getting late, so I should go back. My brother packs up and goes to the Secret Pavilion to be on duty."

Xu Ping no longer advised him and sent Li Zhang out.

Xu Ping brought the Zhishi Museum. Although he did not work in the History Museum these days, he still had to take turns. Recently, the library and the Pavilion compiled the classics and history of the two library were a huge project. Many museum officials participated in it and worked so hard that the task on the night fell on the idle people like Xu Ping.
