Xiao Shi's trivia

Master Xiao blinked his eyes and shifted his gaze from the grapes to the housekeeper. He sighed and said, "Master Aren, if you still don't believe me when I say you have a problem with your eyes, I'll ask you if you saw me holding a bottle of water at noon. Basin running this way?"

The butler thought for a while and replied: "I have seen it."

"Then did you see that I put a towel in the basin?" I asked again.

"Have."

"Then don't you wonder why I'm here?"

The butler shook his head.

Due to his dissatisfaction with the answer, Senior Madam Xiao decisively issued an order: "Guess."

"Wash your face?" the butler replied.

"No." Shaking his head.

"Back rub?"

"wrong."

"Could it be washing feet?" Continue to guess.

"Aren, can't you think of some more elegant answers?" The senior scholar Xiao was quite contemptuous of the answers given by his housekeeper: "Wenya, Aren, your old man, I am an elegant person with culture and connotation. okay?"

The butler shook his head and looked at him and said, "My lord, I'm just a rough man."

"Hey..." Xiao Dashi sighed like a child, and then took another one and ate it.

Seeing this, the butler finally came to his senses: "Master, you are here to wash grapes, right?"

So Grand Master Xiao nodded in satisfaction and generously rewarded the housekeeper with one.

The housekeeper looked at the grape in his hand, which was a circle smaller than the others, and asked humbly, "Sir, did you wash the grapes with water or wipe the shell with a damp cloth?"

"The student guessed that the master must be the latter." A childish voice rang out before Senior Bachelor Xiao could answer.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Seeing the little emperor coming, the butler hurriedly bowed, and when he got up, he saw that his master was still lying there motionless, and quickly whispered: "It's disrespectful for a minister not to worship the emperor! Don't you mean Are you going to be beheaded?"

Master Xiao blinked his big eyes and replied: "Students come to see Master, so is it possible that Master still wants to salute and say hello to students?"

After hearing this, the little emperor smiled and bowed respectfully to the person lying down: "Students pay homage to Master!"

"Excuse me, excuse me!" After seeing this, Grand Master Xiao raised his hand in satisfaction to signal the little emperor to stand up.

Even though our Grand Master Xiao is prone to confusion, there are some things that are very clear.If the little emperor came in today and claimed to be 'Zhen', then he would have acted like a king and minister immediately, but since the little emperor opened his mouth and called himself the word 'student', the situation is completely different, since he has already expressed himself. It is the teacher and not the courtier who came to see him, so he should naturally correct his position as a teacher.

The little emperor sat down on the chair brought by the butler and looked up at the whole grape trellis and asked: "Master, is this grape trellis the same as the one in the Seventeenth Emperor's Uncle's Mansion?"

After finally destroying the last one, Senior Madam Xiao burped unrefinedly, then touched his stuffed stomach and nodded.

The little emperor looked at him with such an expression: "How did the master get it from the emperor's uncle?"

"Ah? What's this..." Xiao Dashi suddenly became a little hesitant and faltering.

So the little emperor simply looked at the butler at the side.

"Cough..." The steward coughed to explain the confusion to the little emperor, "Does your majesty still remember the golden flower tea that the master bought from the Seventeenth Prince?"

"Of course!" The little emperor nodded.

The butler continued: "This spring, the master returned one of the golden camellia plants to the Seventeenth Prince."

"Why?" The little emperor wondered, but he knew that his wife had worked so hard to get those plants back to the mansion.

"Cough..." The steward coughed again, glanced at the senior scholar Xiao, and continued: "The master said that a gentleman does not take what others like, even if he takes it, he must leave something for others so that they can't kill them all, otherwise there will be nothing next time." ...There's nothing to fish for..."

"Ah?" The little emperor couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.

"Ahem——" This time the coughing volume was much louder. The butler secretly pulled the little emperor's corner, and the latter realized that it was his wife who was coughing this time, so he immediately suppressed his smile.

"What happened later?" the little emperor asked again.

The butler glanced at Master Xiao and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed, so he boldly continued: "Later, the Seventeenth Prince saw that the Master was so willing to part with his love, so he casually said that if the Master likes something in the Palace, he can do whatever he wants..."

"So the master brought the uncle's grape trellis back?" The little emperor answered understandingly.

"No..." The butler shook his head.

"Huh?" The little emperor looked at him curiously, wondering if his guess was wrong?

The housekeeper pointed to the grape trellises and vines: "It is not only the grape trellises of the Wangfu that the master moved back to the mansion, even the vines were sent by the prince to plant them together, and there are professional people from the Wangfu every day. Come and take care."

"What?" The little emperor baby was stunned...

Master Xiao stretched out his hand and scratched his head, turned his body to the other side and fell asleep, as if the two people around him were talking about something other than his own.

The summer night was not as hot as the day, and the gentle breeze brought a little bit of coolness. Zhu Luoyu sat in the back garden of the palace with a wine cup and drank wine alone facing the moon.

"My lord, the emperor sent someone to bring you something just now." The butler came over with a food box and reported.

"Open." Zhu Luoyu drank the wine in one gulp, and then saw only a pot of green grapes in the food box.

"My lord, this is a letter from the emperor." The butler brought out the basin of grapes and placed it on the stone table, then took out an unopened letter from his pocket and handed it over.

After Zhu Luoyu opened the letter, he saw that it said: I know that the purple in the emperor's uncle's mansion has been given to the beautiful woman, so I gave it a touch of green to taste...
