happy rebirth

The big parrot fluttered its wings, waved Gongsun Shanzhang's hand from his pea eyes, and shouted: "The bird saw it! The bird saw it!"

When Gongsun Shanzhang was still a child of six or seven years old, he once watched a play with the female elders in his family. He happened to watch a very popular "Repaying Gratitude" at that time. This play tells the story of a carp being saved by others Later, the story of repairing a human form to repay the favor.Gongsun Shanchang became obsessed with picking up small animals at home, hoping that one of them would come to him in human form one day in the future, so he developed the habit of recruiting pets.

Cats and dogs don’t have a long lifespan, but the big parrot has been with Gongsun Shan for many years.

The head of the mountain often said with a smile that he had a wife and a concubine in his family.The concubine refers to the big parrot, even though it is a male bird.

Big parrots like to learn tongues.After staying in Qiulin Academy for a long time, even a bird understands a truth, that people (birds) should base their lives on morality and open their way with talents.When the big parrot shakes its head and says some sage's words or poems that it doesn't understand, it has melon seeds to eat.

Old people like Shao Rui who have been robbed by parrots in the academy know one thing, they should always have some melon seeds on them.Otherwise, when the parrot finishes reciting the poem, it won't be able to eat melon seeds... Ah, it will sue.Since it is the concubine of the head of the mountain, its pillow style is really quite powerful.

He even said that the parrot didn't see it!The parrot clearly saw it!The parrot sees everything!The big parrot looked at Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi with its head tilted, recited a poem that was quite appropriate in a strange voice, and said proudly: "Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. A fair lady, a gentleman is so good. "

This was all trained by Gongsun Shan!

Gongsun Shanchang has always been embarrassed to read love poems to his wife face to face, but it is very useful to train a parrot to convey his feelings.Not only the famous articles in the Book of Songs, Gongsun Shanchang also wrote a lot of poems himself, and asked the parrot to learn them for his wife.At this time, the head of the mountain was afraid that the parrot would shake out all the family affairs if he continued to play freely, so he quickly took out a handful of millet and said in a low voice: "Shut up! You can't stop your mouth with stupid words!"

Elder Mu couldn't help laughing.This is not to laugh at the young couple, but to laugh at Gongsun Shanzhang.

The head of the mountain felt that he had to do something to save his face, so he said: "Sir, I have been training the pairing of neiyan these days, and it has already achieved initial results." Of course the parrot will not play the pairing freely, but it can recite fixed sentences.Under the training of the head of the mountain, as long as the head of the mountain said the first couplet, the parrot would say the second couplet like a conditioned reflex, and then ask for a reward.It looks like the parrots are in a pair.

For parrots, being able to do this is already very powerful.Elder Mu seemed to be interested.

The head of the mountain cleared his throat, took out a few peanuts from his secret pocket, and then said an auspicious couplet: "One door bestows peace and blessings."

The big parrot cleared its throat, puffed out its small chest, and said proudly: "A red apricot came out of the wall."

"..." The head of the mountain didn't understand why, hadn't he already trained the parrot?What is this right about!Well, my concubine is arrogant and indulgent, since I answered the question, I have to eat peanuts.After feeding a grain, the head of the mountain recited a new couplet: "Rising sun Zhilan Guangjiadi."

"A red apricot came out of the wall."

"Langxuan Renshou Mirror in Zhifu."

"A red apricot came out of the wall."

"A garden full of peaches and plums is like a brocade in spring."

"A red apricot came out of the wall."

……

The head of the mountain said with a dark face: "It must have been taught badly by those brats!"

Ke Qi had already realized that everyone had misunderstood, and hurriedly took Xie Jinhua to salute Mr. Mu and the head of the mountain, and then explained: "Sand just got in my brother's eyes, and I will blow it out for him." In front of him, he is always used to acting the innocent appearance that a child of this age should have.

Xie Jinhua's eyes were still a little red, which proved that Ke Qi was not lying.

However, the word "brother" seems to have turned on a certain switch in the parrot. It flapped its wings and flew to the tree closest to Ke Qi, and sang with a strange voice that went to outer space. The play: "Hundred lovesickness, thousands of thoughts, helpless to blame my cousin..."

This sounded like ghosts crying and wolves howling, and Ke Qi felt goosebumps all over his body.

The big parrot only sang one sentence, and then stared at Ke Qi intently.It's asking for a reward.

Ke Qi didn't understand what the big parrot meant.Because he has never experienced the horror of being ruled by a big parrot if he can't get melon seeds.

Xie Jinhua couldn't help but said, "You're so clever! Just as clever as Ah Huang."

"Ah Huang?" Elder Mu asked.

"It's my cat/dog." Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi said in unison.

"It's his dog/cat." The young couple looked at each other and said in unison again, "Anyway, Ah Huang is very clever."

Xie Jinhua gestured with his hand and said, "It's a big cat. I've seen it catch such a big mouse! It can also catch birds!"

The big parrot trembled, not caring about asking Ke Qi for melon seeds, and said, "You guys talk, the bird will go first." Before leaving, it flew back to the mountain chief's hand, took a peanut in his hand, and then flew to the The little couple threw it to Xie Jinhua.If you eat the bird's peanuts, you can no longer let the cat chase the bird.

Now that they met, the walking team changed from two to four.However, most of the time, Mu Lao and Gongsun Shanzhang were still chatting, while Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi just followed behind them and listened.Elder Mu happened to talk about his plans for the next few years.

"Probably will be living in the capital for a long time." Mu Lao said.

There are two kinds of book repairs, one is private repair and the other is official repair.This time, Mr. Mu accepted the imperial court's invitation. Going to the Imperial College to give lectures was just incidental, and the more important thing was to gather famous scholars from all over the world to study books.The emperor wanted a good reputation, but Mu Lao lived to such an age, and wanted to leave something for future generations.

Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi looked at each other.It's great, Xie Jinhua doesn't have to go to Jiangnan alone with the teacher.

A few days passed quickly.Mu Laoxin got a young apprentice. Although he hasn't officially become a teacher yet, he likes to invite Xie Jinhua to chat and play chess whenever he has time.Some people talk too much, and gradually reveal their inner superficiality; some people, like Xie Jinhua, always let Mu Lao find more surprises.So Ke Qi was often left alone in the yard, and he didn't feel very lonely, but Shao Rui was worried that he would be lonely, so he often dragged him to his own yard.

On this day, when Xie Jinhua came back from Mr. Mu, Ke Qi was not at the residence again.

Xie Jinhua walked to the tea room first, and was relieved to see a pot of water on the stove, which had been boiling all the time.If the stove had gone out, he couldn't light it up by himself.Then, he turned around and went to the study room, set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a [-]-character essay with a swipe of the pen.

The title of this article is "Biography of Soup Noodles".

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not safe enough, so Xie Jinhua pondered for a while, and then wrote a five-character poem "Mianxiang".

Xie Jinhua knew that time was limited, so he couldn't care less about washing the brushes, so he put the brushes aside, and went to the tea room with two pieces of writing paper in his arms.He put the kettle on the stove on the ground, then squatted next to the stove, and put the two pieces of paper into the stove one by one.The flames rolled up the rice paper and burned quickly.Xie Jinhua clasped his hands together, whispered to himself, and said, "Meditate, be sincere, be careful, and be dedicated. This time we must succeed!"

Feeling that the preparations were almost done, Xie Jinhua put the pot on the stove and added some water to the pot.

In fact, the process of boiling noodles in white water is very simple. First, put noodles, and then order green leafy vegetables according to taste. The seasoning is directly placed in the bowl. The noodles are ready to eat.However, it is best not to overcook the noodles.

As soon as the water boils, the noodles are ready.

But before placing the order, Xie Jinhua walked to the window and sprinkled a handful of peanuts on the window sill.Neyan retracted his wings and fell down.Xie Jinhua touched the little head of the big parrot, and said: "Okay, you can go to Shao Rui to find Ke Di, just fly around in Shao Rui's yard."

In Shao Rui's residence, Ke Qi got up and said to Shao Rui, "Brother Shao, I still have homework to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Hey, don't rush away! Sit down for a while." Shao Rui quickly pushed Ke Qi back into the chair.Parrots can fly faster than humans can walk.At this moment, Shao Rui, who had been absent-minded and always looking up at the sky, finally saw Ne Yan's figure, and his eyes lit up immediately.

Ke Qi, who had just been pushed back into the chair by Shao Rui, was picked up again by Shao Ruishun.

Shao Rui pushed Ke Qi out and said, "Okay, okay, don't you still have homework to do? Go back!"

Ke Qi was a little baffled by Shao Rui's inconsistency.He felt that Shao Rui seemed a little nervous today.However, Ke Qi really wanted to go back.He felt that the time was almost up, and Xie Jinhua should have returned from Mr. Mu, so he had to go back to his residence quickly.

When Ke Qi walked back to his residence, the noodles cooked by Xie Jinhua had just come out of the pan.Long noodles, green vegetables, clear soup, it looks pretty good.

"Hey, you're back already? Why did you cook your own noodles? Are you hungry?" Ke Qi asked with a smile.

Xie Jinhua shook his head and said, "This is for you...longevity noodles." He felt a little embarrassed, so he lowered his head and did not look at Ke Qi.

Ke Qi was stunned for a while, before he realized that today was his birthday, and the birthdays of his two lifetimes were on this day.However, his birthday has always been missed after time travel.Because he lost his mother when he was born, and his birthday happened to be the anniversary of his mother’s death, he was supposed to burn paper for his mother, but when he lived in Ke’s mansion, he didn’t even have the right to burn paper for his mother, so he had to give money to his uncle. Ask my uncle to go quietly to make arrangements for the sacrificial ceremony.

In fact, the same is true for Xie Jinhua, he never celebrates his birthday.Avoid the hustle and bustle of the banquet, eat a bowl of longevity noodles, and the day is over.

Looking at the bowl of hot noodles, Ke Qi didn't know what to say for a while.

Xie Jinhua said: "Eat quickly, be careful that the noodles are cold."

"En." Ke Qi responded, and took the noodles cooked by Xie Jinhua himself.

The hot noodles exude the unique aroma of food.The leafy greens were a bit overcooked, but the texture of the noodles was good.The salt is a bit less, but a low-salt life is healthier.Ke Qi started to eat slowly, and a smile that seemed too silly gradually appeared on his face.

"How does it taste?" Xie Jinhua asked nervously.

"It's not as good as cooking it myself." Ke Qi said deliberately.He felt that it was enough to keep some words in his heart, and it seemed a bit hypocritical to say them.

Xie Jinhua was not annoyed, and said, "Of course I can't compare to you...you are the master, and I am the apprentice."

For longevity noodles, the most important thing is the mind, but the taste is second.If you want to eat delicious noodles, you can ask the kitchen to send a bowl, it will definitely taste better than this bowl.But this is the only one cooked by Xie Jinhua himself.The smile on Ke Qi's face had already betrayed his mood.

Xie Xiaosi flicked the tail of a cat who thought he was a fox, thinking he was too witty.He always wants to treat Ke Di better, so they won't be separated.However, even without these selfish intentions, he would really like to cook a bowl of noodles for Ke Qi on his birthday.
