Su Qian sat at the small table in the yard, eating the fruit platter prepared by Xu Qing and giving instructions on Xu Qing's martial arts progress.
After getting along for such a long time.
Xu Qing also had a somewhat clear idea of Su Qian's temper.
Despite her cold and desolate appearance, in fact she is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl on the inside.
As long as they are little girls, they all have one thing in common: they love to eat!
Especially the food.
Xu Qing was able to apply Su Qian's martial arts style just by looking through his recipes.
Last time it was swordsmanship, and this time I used a light skill.
Although Xu Qing probably won't be able to practice flying over eaves and walking over walls in this lifetime.
However, if you study hard and practice hard, you can at least climb over your neighbor's wall easily.
I still remember the last time, when Su Qian heard some noise, he passed over immediately.
Xu Qing was still working hard on the stool below for a long time.
When she was about to leave, Su Qian suddenly said: "Do you have free time in the afternoon?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes."
Ever since he and Su Qian were forced to take paid leave, Xu Qing had a lot of free time every day!
Apart from studying recipes and practicing martial arts, there is nothing else to do.
Xu Qing enjoys this kind of leisurely life. After practicing, he goes to Goulan to have a pot of tea and listen to some music. It is simply a great enjoyment in life!
Su Qian said: "Since you have free time, how about you come with me to attend a poetry meeting after this afternoon?"
Xu Qing was stunned and said: "Boss, are you going to attend a poetry meeting?"
Su Qian nodded and said: "If it were an ordinary poetry gathering, I would have declined, but not this time. This poetry gathering is organized by Prince Xian's Mansion, so I cannot refuse."
There lived a prince in the city of Yongzhou, the wise king of Chu, who was the elder brother of the current saint.
He used to live in the capital, but he returned to the capital a few days ago. The chief officials from various places traveled thirty miles out of the city to greet him.
And a month and a half ago, the reason why so much effort was spent to suppress the bandits was because the prince with the largest background and the most authority in Da Chu returned to his fiefdom.
Thinking about it this way, the death of old Xu Qing actually had something to do with this wise king!
Thinking of this, why does Xu Qing feel so awkward about saying this?
There is one leg that doesn’t seem to be used in this way…
However, it is true that the poetry meeting led by the palace cannot be avoided.
After all, their status as a royal relative is there. If you don't go, you won't give them face. If you don't give them face, they will get angry.
I want Xu Qing to say that this wise king has nothing to do. Why don't you, a prince like you, stay in your fief and take care of yourself for the rest of your life?
There is simply nothing to do!
It was this poetry meeting that disrupted Xu Qing's plan to go to Goulan to listen to music in the afternoon.
This made Xu Qing sigh for a while.
Even so, Xu Qing still looked at Su Qian and said, "My subordinates don't understand poetry or songs, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help much by going to the poetry meeting."
Su Qian shook her head and said: "I never wanted you to recite poems and write lyrics, but once this poetry meeting is held, it will be difficult to control the time. I don't like poetry meetings in the first place.
After an hour, you can just find a reason to send me out."
It turns out that he was just a liar, but this was much easier. Xu Qing nodded and said, "I understand."
This is very simple. Boss, there is a big case on West Street. Boss, it’s time to patrol the streets! Boss, next door, Captain Zhou Xian has a difficult delivery...
Ahem...
Isn’t that a lot of excuses?
What Su Qian cannot say, there must be someone else to say it for her.
When Xu Qing opened his mouth, Su Qian, who was at the poetry party, got off the slope and went home with Xu Qing. This plan ended perfectly.
The Poetry Club is a place for literati to recite poems and compose poems, so it is naturally not suitable for people to wear police uniforms.
How?
Want to go to the prince’s house to arrest someone?
After changing into a robe, Xu Qing went out with Su Qian.
Because Xu Qing was already handsome and had a rather ugly face, he really looked like a scholar when he put on a long robe.
It's just that compared to those thin and frail scholars, Xu Qing, a scholar, is more muscular...
Although it is said that the poetry meeting is held in the palace, it is not that the entire palace is used to hold a poetry meeting, but a small circle is used to hold the poetry meeting.
By the time Su Qian and Xu Qing arrived at Prince Xian's Mansion, a lot of people had already arrived.
Whether they are young ladies from wealthy families or elegant and talented people wearing scholar's robes, there are many of them.
This made Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh that the appeal of Yu Huang's relatives was really powerful.
As soon as he yelled casually, people crowded into the palace one after another.
After checking the invitation, Su Qian and Xu Qing entered the palace.
After entering the door, Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh, the palace is indeed a palace, even if it only has a small garden, it still has such a grand momentum.
There are rows of pavilions and pavilions, which complement each other beautifully with the flowers and plants in the garden.
The scenery is truly beautiful and breathtaking.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said: "The women are resting in the attic there. You estimate the time. It will take about more than an hour to go there and find a reason to call me out."
Xu Qing nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then Su Qian thought for a while and warned: "Most of the people who came this time are well-known in Yongzhou City. Just find a quiet place to sit down. Don't cause any trouble. I will wait until today is over."
I’ll teach you a set of palm techniques.”
After Su Qian finished speaking, Xu Qing's eyes lit up.
With this reward, the transaction is worth it!
Although Xu Qing's current foundation is not very good, it would be better if he knew more moves.
What if it is used someday?
With the special function of photographic memory, Xu Qing doesn’t have to worry about biting off more than she can chew.
After Su Qian entered, Xu Qing planned to find a place to sit down.
First of all, let’s talk about the issue of this seat. You must keep a low profile. Don’t even think about touching the seats in the first few rows. You may not be able to sit in the first few rows, and there may be children from aristocratic families who won’t like you.
I am just a little detective now. I am afraid that I am not the kind of being that no one can afford to offend here, so I would like to position myself correctly and act in a low-key manner.
After taking a few glances, Xu Qing saw a small pavilion in the corner of the garden. It was located in a remote place and few people noticed it.
It’s a good choice to kill time.
As a result, when many talented people rushed to sit in the seats in the front rows, one of them walked in the opposite direction.
"Brother, the poetry meeting is about to begin. Where do you want to go?"
A man in a turban looked at Xu Qing walking in the opposite direction with doubts on his face.
Xu Qing arrived casually: "I'll find a seat."
The man in Lunjin asked doubtfully: "But there are plenty of empty seats in front of you, so why should I look for the last seats in the back? Wouldn't it be easy for me to ignore you during the poetry meeting?"
This scholar seems to be a little nosy. He can just find a seat, so why bother with Xu Qing?
Does his going have anything to do with this scholar?
However, considering that there was no big background behind this scholar, Xu Qing did not want to be tough. He just pretended to be mysterious and deceived: "If you fight, you won't fight. If you don't fight, you will fight."
After finishing speaking, Xu Qing headed towards the place that he had longed for.
The young man murmured: "To fight is to not fight, and to not fight is to fight?"
Then his eyes lit up: "Brother, you are a great talent! Hey, where is the person?"
on an attic
The middle-aged man with an extraordinary air looked at Xu Qing, who had left all the things in front of him to choose the seat at the bottom and couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this man so strange? Others want to sit in the front but he goes backwards? It's really strange.
!”
Then the middle-aged man looked at the butler-looking man next to him and said, "Have the treacherous son and Xue'er arrived?"
The middle-aged man who looked like a butler couldn't help but twitch his eyes. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the traitor, and His Royal Highness the Princess is Xue'er. The prince's different treatment is really serious...
But he immediately bowed and responded: "Back to the prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess are still in the study thinking about the lessons left by the Song father and son, and have not come over yet."
The wise king glanced at Steward Wang next to him and said, "Go and send someone to call them over. If it weren't for Xue'er and that traitor, why would I bother to get this poem out?"
After hearing the instructions, Butler Wang immediately bowed and said, "I'll do it now, little man."
After saying that, Butler Wang went to arrange the manpower and left.
As for why the prince wanted to hold a poetry meeting in the palace, he naturally knew.
It is true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess are somewhat incompetent.
My own prince is known as the God of War of Chu. When Zhou invaded, it was his prince who led the army to resist the Zhou army and even connected two cities of Zhou.
On the contrary, Zhou Guo paid a huge price to redeem those two cities.
Become famous in one battle!
Perhaps it was hereditary, but His Royal Highness and the princess did not care at all about literary matters, but they were obsessed with wielding swords and guns all day long.
The prince found several great Confucian scholars and two highnesses, but still had little success.
So the prince wondered if it was the exaggeration of his ears and eyes that made the two of them like this.
Afterwards, the two highnesses who had prepared this poetry meeting took a look at the scholars' demeanor and manners, hoping that this would make them think more about literature and ink in the future.
I have to say that the prince has really taken great pains for the sake of his two highnesses!
After arriving at the palace and taking a seat, Xu Qing realized that there were free fruits and pastries here.
This is wonderful!
Regarding this free thing, Xu Qing said that if you don’t eat it, you won’t get it!
Moreover, this fruit and pastry are worthy of being eaten in the palace, and the taste is extraordinary!
I don’t know how much better it is than what is sold in ordinary shops outside.
After eating some pastries, it is really a pleasure to pour a cup of tea to relieve tiredness.
I originally thought it was a boring thing, but I didn't expect it to be so fun.
As for the poetry meeting ahead, which talented person wrote the poem and which talented person wrote the lyrics.
It has nothing to do with Xu Qing, who is battling wits with various pastries in the corner.
Just when Xu Qing was very busy, he suddenly felt that there was an extra person next to him...
