Tang riddles

In the 22nd year of Kaiyuan, Yangchun March.

The grass grows and the warbler flies in the March sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke when they blow the embankment.However, the owners of Shen's house in Jinling seem to have given up on enjoying the beautiful spring scenery, and they don't know what to do at home.There were rhythmic knocking sounds and tinkling sounds in the courtyard, accompanied by immature inquiries from children.

"Father, where is this thing?"

"Hey, wait a minute, this one hasn't been finished yet, you can use that one when it's done."

"Oh... well, Dad, what is this?"

"That's a tenon, it's used for fixing. Oh, my little ancestor, don't move around, it's all messed up. You can just see what Dad does, it's very simple."

"Uh-huh."

Huang'er squatted on the spot, resting her chin with her palms, staring intently at her big eyes.

A large piece of tarpaulin was spread in the yard, and a large number of wooden parts were regularly placed on the tarpaulin.Shen Sui was dressed in short brown clothes, sleeves were tied up, and his feet were bare, sitting cross-legged on the oilcloth, holding a half-assembled object in his hand, and was constantly beating a certain part into it with a wooden mallet.Her forehead was already sweating, but she kept smiling.Huang'er was beside her, and couldn't help being curious, asking around, as if trying to get Shen Sui out of what she was doing.But Shen Sui just didn't say anything, hung on to the little guy's appetite, and Huang'er scratched his ears and cheeks in anxiety.

Footsteps sounded in the veranda next to the courtyard, and several slim figures appeared from the corner.Zhang Ruohan was the first to walk, followed by Wu Ya.The two held a bamboo basket in their hands, and there seemed to be something delicious in it.Behind Wu Ya, Xiao Yuan pushed Qin Lian's wheelchair, and Yi Yan followed behind.

"Oh, what are you two doing?" Yi Yan couldn't help complaining about Shen Sui.

Qin Lian smiled and said, "What are you two, I remember that I gave birth to a daughter."

"Bah..." Yi frowning smiled and patted her mouth, and said, "Sister Lian, I am quick to talk, besides, this guy Chishi doesn't feel like a half-mother. I don't know how to teach Huang'er all day long. What. Lotus maid, you don't care."

Zhang Ruohan was open-minded, and said with a smile, "It's good that both of them are happy."

Wu Ya let out a chuckle, this sentence has almost become Sanniang's catchphrase, since returning to Jinling, Sanniang seems to have relaxed her demands on Huang'er, every time she sees Huang'er circling behind Shen Sui, she It seemed very happy.

Zhang Ruohan and Wu Ya put the bamboo baskets in their hands on the porch, took out the mats and laid them on the porch, everyone sat down on the porch except Qin Lian.Zhang Ruohan took out a watery, yellow-orange fruit from the basket, peeled it open, and called out:

"Huang'er, come and eat the loquat."

When Xiao Huang'er heard that there was something to eat, she immediately ignored her father, ran over, stared at the fruit in A Niang's hand with wide eyes, and asked:

"Aniang, can I eat pipa too?"

Zhang Ruohan was taken aback, and after a moment of reaction, he understood what Huang'er was talking about, so he explained with a smile:

"This loquat is not the same as the pipa. Huang'er will know after tasting it. It's so sweet." As he spoke, he shook the fruit in front of the little guy's eyes. The sweet smell tempted Huang'er. Take a sip, and the sweet and soft pulp filled the mouth, and the little guy jumped up because of the deliciousness.This was the first time she ate loquats when she grew up. Although she lived in the old house for a while when she was young, she was still young and couldn't eat many things.

"I want more!" The little guy almost snatched the loquat from Aniang's hand, took it in his hand and ate it with relish.The cute little appearance made the women in the corridor show loving smiles.

Shen Sui on the other side was very depressed, just now Huang'er's attention was all on her, but now she's fine, she was lured away by the lotus maid with a loquat, so greedy, I don't know who she looks like.snort!

Father was jealous, and he put together blocks by himself.

Qin Lian shouted: "Chishi, come here, don't be so busy, take a break first."

"No mother, it will be fine in a while, and I will come when I am done."

Hearing Shen Sui's answer, Zhang Ruohan couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips curved into a meaningful smile.She took out another loquat from the basket, peeled it, held it in her hand, and shouted to Shen Sui:

"Chishi, come here." Seeing Shen Sui looking over, she raised the loquat in her hand.

Shen Sui pouted and didn't move for a while.

"Come here quickly." Zhang Ruohan urged again.

Shen Sui could only put down what he was doing, stood up, walked to the edge of the oilcloth, put on his wooden clogs, and walked to Zhang Ruohan.

"My hands are dirty, so I have to trouble Madam to feed me." Shen Sui chuckled, squatted down, and looked up at Zhang Ruohan.

"Open your mouth." Zhang Ruohan smiled angrily.

Shen Sui immediately opened his mouth obediently, and Zhang Ruohan stuffed a whole loquat into her mouth, Shen Sui couldn't help but let out a "huh", and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Small sample." Zhang Ruohan wiped her face with juice-stained hands, and immediately painted Shen Sui's face.

Huang'er on the side was having a good time, imitating A Niang and pointing at Dad and laughing: "Hahaha, Dad's cool, Dad's cool..."

Shen Sui pursed his lips and glared at Xiao Huang'er.Huang'er still didn't restrain herself, Shen Sui pulled the little guy into his arms and tickled her, and the two of them immediately had a fuss.

After the trouble was over, Shen Sui managed to eat the loquat in his mouth, and felt that if he choked to death on the loquat, Zhang Ruohan might have created a new way of murdering his "husband" to some extent.

She was holding Huang'er and sitting beside Zhang Ruohan. Zhang Ruohan peeled loquats for Huang'er to eat. The family enjoyed the spring afternoon, chatting and laughing happily.

"I don't know where Qin Nu and Qianhe went." Qin Lian said.

"Khutuo sent them off in a horse-drawn carriage, not too slow, it's been three days, it's time to reach Langya Mountain." Shen Sui said.

"Tell me, how come those famous people are so capable of handling things, don't they just want to borrow a Jiaoweiqin to have a look, why don't we, the piano slaves, send it over in person?" Yingniang said very displeased.

Shen Sui smiled: "It's such an elegant thing for people to make an appointment to make friends with the piano. Besides, the old man is already seventy years old, so he can't work for his elders and travel long distances. It just so happens that the piano slave returned to Jinling from Chang'an some time ago, and it seems that he hasn't played yet. Enough, go out for a walk again, no harm."

Zhang Ruohan also echoed: "Since ancient times, Bo Yazi met a bosom friend in the high mountains and flowing waters, and the qin slave loves this. She..."

"It's good for her to be happy?" Tiao Niang continued Zhang Ruohan's words.

There was a burst of laughter in the hallway.

"Well, having said that, I'm really worried about Maomao. It's been half a month since we came back this way. I don't know if the matter between her and Yuhuan has progressed." Shen Sui said.

Zhang Ruohan replied: "Isn't the news from Master Cui very good? Recently, the court is busy trying to implement a new policy. It is so courageous that it plans to start a trial private school for girls in the whole country. I reckon there will be resistance. .”

"Even if there is resistance, it won't be very strong. It's just a matter of ethos. Just turn it around. At present, people think that a woman's talent is the most important. A woman who can sing and dance is a good woman, but she doesn't value reading and poetry. This is not good, the world Women make up half of them. How many talents have been lost by not allowing women to study? Look at those nobles. Although they keep saying that women should not study, don’t most of them let their daughters study? That's the right way. Such fooling remarks should have been abandoned long ago." Shen Sui said.

Zhang Ruohan pursed her lips and smiled, thinking of the years when the three of them were studying together, she couldn't help feeling a little bit, how time flies.

"I think it's a great thing. If it can be carried out, our Huang'er will be able to go to private schools openly and aboveboard in the future, and we can even go to the examination for merit." Yizhuo said.

"Xiaoniang, you've got the point. Maomao's implementation of private girls' schools is only the first step, and the next step is to open a women's department. This is all to attract talents for her and build her own team." Shen Suixiao road.

"So, our Huang'er is really going to be able to get a reputation as a daughter in the future?" Qin Lian asked curiously.

"Haha, if she wants to take the test, of course she can take the test. I won't force her to do it, she decides on her own." Shen Sui looked at Zhang Ruohan while talking.Zhang Ruohan read some meaningful meaning from her eyes, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

This man is really unscrupulous, his daughter is only a little old, so he made a joke about her daughter's life-long events.Zhang Ruohan understood that what Shen Sui meant was that when Huang'er grew up, if she really went to Chang'an City to take the women's exam, she might be able to kidnap a daughter-in-law like Shen Sui herself.

"I said, if our daughter finds a son-in-law, what will you do?" Zhang Ruohan whispered in Shen Sui's ear.

Shen Sui's five sense organs were immediately tangled together, and he muttered for a while, but still couldn't pass the test in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely:

"Which kid... dares to abduct our Huang'er, he must pass me."

Zhang Ruohan laughed, and couldn't help but worry about Huang'er's other half in the future. With Shen Sui's attitude, it is estimated that it will become more intense as Huang'er grows up.At that time, alas, no matter whether the other party is a man or a woman, you can only ask for blessings.

However, the center of their topic——Xiao Huang'er was still eating loquats in a foolish way, not paying attention to what Mom and Dad were talking about.

"Father! Tell me." The little guy turned around suddenly, grabbed Shen Sui's sleeve with a hand full of juice, and shook it.

"Huh? Tell you what?"

"What are you going to do?" the little guy asked.

Shen Sui smiled, so her mind was still on the wooden block on the ground.She didn't keep her secret anymore, and said:

"Father wants to be a wooden kite."

"Wooden kite? So big?" Zhang Ruohan was surprised, she had a wooden kite given to her by Shen Sui, but it was not so big.

"Well, because it's not an ordinary wooden kite, but a phoenix, I want to see if I can fly such a big wooden kite. Maybe it can carry people at that time." Shen Sui said.

Huang'er's eyes lit up, she dragged Shen Sui and said:

"Father, hurry up and continue to do it!"

This little guy, probably wants to go to heaven... Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan looked at Huang'er, thinking at the same time.

"Daddy!!!"

"Okay, do it now, do it now."

Zhang Ruohan raised his forehead: This daughter is a slave, there is no way to save her.
