A world of glory

After Qin Yi took a bath and changed clothes, he took his maidservant and headed towards Yuxuan.Passing through several corridors, passing the plum forest, looking from a distance, the lake in the garden is sparkling, and the zigzag covered bridges and water pavilions are reflected in the lake.After another long corridor, it suddenly became clear. I saw that the pavilion was built against the mountain, and the front of the pavilion was stacked with mountains and rocks.

Before reaching the pavilion, Qin Yi heard the sound of the piano flowing in the clouds and flowing water, and could faintly see the bright lights in the pavilion.Waiting for Qin Yi to enter the hall, he saw the old lady talking with Brother Xian in her arms, Brother Wen, Brother Kuan, and Brother Hui sitting together, muttering about the homework assigned by the master.Fei Xue and Fei Yu only listened to the piano while playing chess.Feixia and Crimson Yan sat on the side to untie the jade chain.The wife, the second wife, and the second wife all sat beside the old lady and talked with the old lady.Only Hou Ye and the second master, the second brother Xin.

Qin Yi went into the room, and saluted the old lady and his wife in a dignified manner.Seeing Qin Yi saluting, the old lady let go of Brother Xian, and said with a smile: "You are too polite, this old-fashioned temperament is exactly like your father's." Then she asked Qin Yi to come to her with a smile, and asked: "How is your reading? I know you are smart and motivated, but it's not good to just stay in the room blindly. If you're tired of reading, you might as well go and walk around in the school." Qin Yi responded with a smile, and then asked with a smile Said: "Why don't you see my second uncle and my second brother Xin?" The second wife said with a smile: "Your second brother wants to come, but I don't know where there is a disaster. No, I haven't come back for two days. Logical disaster relief Relief, it should also be the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, why is it their turn to the Ministry of Officials."

The second lady smiled and said: "We women and Taoists don't know about the affairs in the yamen. But I think that no matter whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, we must send someone. The errand of sending someone will not fall on Brother Xin They are in the yamen. Sister-in-law, are you right?" The madam smiled lightly, and only replied: "That's the reason." Then she made fun of the second wife and said: "See, you are also a shrewd and capable person, but you don't even think about this. It’s not transparent, it’s a joke.”

The old lady listened to the second wife and his wife talking for a while, she couldn't help feeling a little impatient, she just frowned and asked: "I just heard from Miss Su that there was a disaster in some place, do you know where it is?" He took a teacup, listened to the old lady's question, was taken aback for a moment, and replied with a smile: "I heard from the woman next to me that it seems that Linzhou and Gaozhou have not seen any rain since August last year, so I rushed to see them again. This year’s weather, there must be no drought.” Seeing the old lady’s eyebrows stretched, the wife interjected with a smile: “Not only Linzhou and Gaozhou, I heard from Lord Hou that the area around the capital is also more dry than in previous years. quite a few,"

The old lady pondered for a moment when she heard the words, and then slowly said: "Since the disaster is also near the capital, our family is not the one who lives on Zhuangzi. The porridge and medicine in the first half of the month can be regarded as accumulating some evil virtues." The wife and the second wife hurriedly got up to answer, and the second wife even smiled and said: "The old lady is the most compassionate, pity the poor and the weak, such a person who accumulates virtue and does good deeds The matter is also for our younger generations, no wonder people often say that doing good deeds and accumulating virtue will bring blessings. Just looking at the brothers in the mansion, you can tell that the old lady is always willing to do good things, so these brothers are smart and bright, and they are promising at first glance Yes." The old lady couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and pointed to the second wife and said, "You monkey, you are really boasting about your own family. Thanks to you, you are not afraid of being ashamed." Both the wife and the second wife Laughed at the side, and the sisters next to me laughed together when they heard it.Only Qin Yi and brother Xian, wanting to laugh but embarrassed, turned their heads to look at the pattern on the screen.Brother Hui raised his head, saw the old lady and the others were laughing, and asked confusedly: "What's the matter?" As soon as the words fell, a maid came in to open the curtain, and said: "Master Hou is back."

Qin Yi and the others hurriedly sat down one by one, Brother Xian also left the old lady's arms, and sat upright next to his wife.Not long after, I saw Lord Hou come in, bowed to the old lady, and asked gently: "Mother is well." His face was gentle, not as serious as before.The old lady said happily: "Get up." Seeing Master Hou got up, she asked with a smile, "Why are you coming back late today? But what's going on in the court?" Master Hou said unhurriedly: "Not at all. Nothing important, just a few things to attend to."

After a few simple gossips, the old lady ordered the banquet to open, and ordered a troupe of housewives to order a few plays on the terrace outside, all of which were pleasing and lively plays such as "Blessings of Children and Grandchildren" and "Full House".

On the Dragon Boat Festival, eat five yellow rice, hang puai, and the wives of each house go back to hide in the Dragon Boat Festival and watch the dragon boat, which can turn the busy people in the house on their backs.After the Duanyang Festival, Qin Yi was free.On the morning of the sixth day, Qin Yi practiced calligraphy in the study outside. Spread out a piece of rice paper on the desk, dipped in thick ink, and wrote like a god, with a little elegance in the dignified. .After finishing writing a piece of paper, Qin Yi looked at it carefully, but felt that his brushwork had improved a lot, and sighed to himself that it was not as good as calligraphy, as long as he persisted, he would gain a lot.With Qin Yi's hard work, he might be able to pass the imperial examination, but compared to those Confucian students who have been immersed in the classics for decades, it is far worse.So he thought of a stupid way to write the Four Books and Five Classics silently while practicing calligraphy. As time passed, Qin Yi gradually studied them deeply and understood the gist of them. In addition, he mirrored each other from the perspective of future generations, and realized it after asking questions. feel.

Sighing secretly, Qin Yi practiced calligraphy for a while, but this time he did not write the scriptures silently, but wrote from the heart, striving to combine form and spirit, so that the charm and strength of character came alive on the paper.

"It's really made great progress." Qin Yi just stopped writing, and then he heard someone behind him praise him.Qin Yi frowned, turned around, only to realize that it was his father, and hurriedly turned to greet him.

"You don't need to be too polite. I heard from people in the house that you have been paying special attention to your studies recently, so I came to take a look." Seeing Qin Yi's handsome appearance and calm demeanor, Hou Ye couldn't hide it with only a homely plain blue robe. Dusty air.He couldn't help but think of Qin Yi's biological mother. When Qin Yi's biological mother married into the Marquis Mansion, although her family background had already declined, her arrogance remained undiminished.Seeing Qin Yi now, although his demeanor is gentle, there is an indescribable demeanor that others can't describe.Unavoidably, his heart softened, his eyes were gentle, and he asked lovingly; "Have you read the scriptures?"

Qin Yi replied respectfully: "I've read it, but I still don't understand the details." After hearing this, Lord Hou asked Qin Yi a few questions. I have no idea.I couldn't help admiring in my heart, but there was no trace on my face. I just said: "There are still merits. If you blindly study hard, you will inevitably work behind closed doors. You should go out for a walk. Studying the books of sages and sages is to experience the suffering of the people. Your grandmother ordered someone to stay in the temple. Porridge, if you have nothing to do, go and visit." Qin Yi hurriedly agreed, and Hou Ye left satisfied.

As soon as Lord Hou left, Lanyue came in from the side room with a tea tray in his hand, and as soon as he came in, he twisted his handkerchief and said, "The little hooves guarding outside don't know where they are going, and they can't find anyone even if they fetch water." Qin Yi Hearing this, he just looked up and asked, "Aren't Peiyu and Yizhu in the yard?" Lanyue hurriedly put down the tea tray, saluted with a smile, and said, "Mrs. Is it? The Zhou family and Wang family also sent gifts along the way, and Peiyu is placed in the attic. As for Yizhu, she is busy doing needlework." Qin Yi packed up his pen and ink, and asked by the way: "Nongyun is not here either. What a surprise today." Just as he was speaking, Nongyun came in with two second-class maids.

Lanyue had a sullen face, and only helped Qin Yi put things back, and after a while, he said: "You know, when you come back, the courtyard is full of people, if you pour a bottle or smash a tripod, where can you find someone?" Go?" Nong Yun hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "It's all my fault, I thought that the young master was writing in the room, but after only a short while, he called everyone away." Qin Yi just smiled and asked: "Is there anything wrong?" Nong Yun pursed his lips and said with a smile, "There's nothing else, but the old lady told me that it's dry right now, so be careful with the candles, the safety tank in the front yard is full It was mostly empty. So I called the servant girl to order the mother-in-law to carry water, and opened the ice cellar to fetch ice."

Only then did Lanyue calm down, and only said: "Even so, there should be two people outside the room." Nongyun poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "My sister forgot, yesterday's Duanyang Festival, Let some people go home, plus sisters Peiyu and Yizhu. It's my fault, I forgot about it before, and I didn't remember it until it was over." Qin Yi laughed: "It's not just ordering Those few, if you have something to call the little girl, it's the same." The two of them said nothing.

At that moment Qin Yi said again: "I've been in the house for a long time, but I'm a little tired. The old lady ordered someone to give porridge in the temple." Nong Yun said with a smile: "It's been three days. I heard from the woman outside that the old lady Not only ordered people to give porridge, but also ordered the abbot of the temple to give away medicine, there may be many people in the family temple right now."

Qin Yi smiled, and just said: "In that case, I would like to take a look." Lan Yuezheng opened the cabinet, took out the fan box, and after hearing Qin Yi's words, he only said: "The sun is poisonous now, if my son If you want to go out, you will have to wait, if you go out now, if something goes wrong, you will have to drink bitter juice again."

Qin Yi looked out of the window and saw that although the sun was shining, there was a faint breeze rippling. He just smiled and said, "I just stopped by to have a look. To be honest, it was my father's order." After hearing this, Lan Yue smiled and said: "Since that's the case, young master, bring Danqing ink, and prepare an ice basin in the car, so it will be safer."
