When Xu Qing raised his head, he saw a young man wearing a brocade robe standing in front of him.
I'm afraid I won't be able to take off this outfit if I don't have a hundred taels.
Are truly rich people.
To be able to participate in the Prince's Poetry Festival, having money is not enough, but also having power.
So, this is a scholar who is both rich and powerful...but...how come this scholar's biceps are so developed?
The young man said: "It's noisy in front, can I share a seat with my brother here?"
Xu Qing nodded: "Brother, it's up to you."
The young man nodded and sat down aside.
Xu Qing looked at the young man opposite and asked curiously: "Brother, are you here to participate in the poetry meeting?"
The young man nodded and said, "That's right, but I didn't want to come. I was just forced to come by my family. I'm not very interested in writing poems and lyrics."
Xu Qing nodded to express his understanding. Since everyone has given you an invitation to the Wangfu Poetry Festival, it is absolutely impossible for you not to come!
Even Su Qian, who was highly skilled in martial arts, couldn't put it off, so she had to find Xu Qing to wait until the right time had an excuse to leave quickly.
The young man looked at Xu Qing and was also curious: "Then why are you here in a remote place? If you want to gain a good reputation, you should go forward. Why are you in this remote place?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "I have no interest in this poetry meeting. If I was entrusted by others, I would never have thought of coming."
When the man heard that Xu Qing had no interest in the poetry meeting, he immediately became interested in him.
This is a fellow-minded person!
Finally found someone who, like him, doesn’t like participating in poetry gatherings like this!
For some reason, Xu Qing felt that the eyes of the man in front of him suddenly became strange. He had heard that many men in ancient times were good at Longyang...
Specially select handsome and good-looking guys to start with...
Thinking of this, Xu Qing's butt couldn't help but move to the side...
The young man said: "I met my brother today and I am really a close friend. I'm Xiao Ye, do you know your surname?"
Xu Qing said: "My surname is Xu, and my given name is only Qing."
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xiao!"
Xu Qing had to complain about the name Xiao Ye, and he felt hungry after hearing it too much.
How did the family name it?
You can't have your father's surname Xiao and your mother's surname Ye, right?
After looking at Xiao Ye for a few times, Xu Qing said curiously: "Xiao is the national surname. Could it be that Brother Xiao is from the palace?"
Xiao Ye sighed and nodded: "But he lives in the palace."
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said curiously: "Looking at Brother Xiao's attire, does Brother Xiao serve in the palace?"
Xiao Ye was startled when he heard this, then nodded to himself and said: "It can be regarded as serving in the palace."
"Can we speak in the palace?"
"Yes, I can, just..."
"Just what?"
"What I say doesn't mean anything..."
"..."
It seems that his status is still a bit low, and he can't speak...
But Xu Qing still consoled him: "Brother Xiao can serve in the palace at such a young age, and his future is bound to be limitless!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand and said: "Oh, you are promoting me, but there is no future. I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and I have not been promoted once... I will shed tears if I talk too much..."
You haven’t been promoted after working for more than ten years?
Isn’t this palace too black-hearted?
Even if Xu Qing worked as a police officer, he would have been a head catcher for five or six years, and he had not been promoted in ten years!
However, maybe the promotion mechanism of the palace is different from that of the yamen. Out of concern for his friends, Xu Qing still asked the reason: "Brother Xiao, why has he not been promoted in ten years? What is the reason? Is Brother Xiao not doing well enough? Or is it because of his experience?
insufficient?"
Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "No, it's just that the one above me has a great body..."
Is that body up there pretty good?
What kind of logic is this?
Do you have to do something for your superiors to get promoted?
Thinking about this, Xu Qing felt that something was wrong. His boss couldn't get promoted under him. Could it be...
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Brother Xiao, have you ever offended the person above you?"
Xiao Ye raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, "I'll probably offend you several times a month..."
This sentence shocked Xu Qing. Even if he offended his boss, he offended him several times a month!
Haven't you been fired yet?
How good-tempered is your boss?
Xu Qing couldn't imagine it, and he asked again: "Brother Xiao's boss doesn't sound like a bad person. After all, he has never thought of removing you from your position. Why don't Brother Xiao apologize to him and ask for forgiveness? Maybe
I can get promoted soon."
After hearing this, Xiao Ye shook his head and said: "How can he have a good temper? It's just that I haven't waited for someone to replace me... Oh, let's not talk about it. Meeting Brother Xu today is really a great blessing in life. It suddenly dawned on me.
! It’s a pity that there is no wine here, so I’ll have tea instead of wine. I’d like to offer you a glass of wine!”
As he said this, Xiao Ye went to get the teapot nearby, but after pouring it for a long time, not a drop of water came out, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed...
Xu Qing was also embarrassed because he drank all the wine...
Xiao Ye coughed and said, "I'm going to ask my servants to prepare a pot of good tea."
After that, he took the teapot and left the table.
Xu Qing had just finished eating the last bite of pastry in his hand when he saw a piece of paper fall to the ground. It seemed that it was Brother Xiao who dropped it.
Xu Qing picked it up from the ground and saw the words written on it: "Today there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. What are the sizes of the chickens and rabbits?"
This is a typical chicken and rabbit in the same cage problem.
At this moment, Xiao Ye came back with a kettle. Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Brother Xiao, your stuff fell down."
Xiao Ye sighed again when he saw this piece of paper.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ye and couldn't help but said, "Brother Xiao, why are you sighing?"
Xiao Ye sighed and said: "This is the homework left by Master yesterday. I have been reading it for a whole day and I have no clue. Who is so bored that he locked chickens and rabbits together to count their feet? When
It’s really…”
Xu Qing took over the conversation at this time: "I'm full after eating..."
Xiao Ye nodded in agreement and said, "Yes! It's just that you're full!"
But from Xu Qing's point of view, Xiao Ye was already much happier, at least he only met this one who was full.
He, Xu Qing, had encountered many speechless incidents since he was a child: why did he have to pump and fill water at the same time, why did the general go to drink the horse by himself, and why did the younger brother set off first and had to wait for the older brother to catch up?
This is the nightmare I had when I was a primary school student! It is the shadow of my childhood all my life!
Xiao Ye lowered his head and said, "But then again, tomorrow will be the time limit set by Master, but I don't have a clue. I wonder if Brother Xu has any good ideas?"
Xu Qing pursed his lips as he looked at the question in his hand. There was no pen or paper here, so it was difficult to demonstrate the calculation process to Xiao Ye.
