“Red beans grow in the southern country, and when spring comes, they will sprout a few branches.
I hope you will pick more of them, this is the most loved thing. "
Xiao Xun, who was the chief minister of the Daqing Imperial Academy, was stunned when he saw the line of poetry on the paper.
I do not know what to say.
He tremblingly picked up the piece of paper and read again: "Hongdou."
"Yueer." Xiao Xun frowned and said in surprise: "Is this a poem written by you?!"
"Dad, no, it's not me." Xiao Qingyue explained quickly.
"This is a poem about lovesickness!" Xiao Xun was so angry that his beard even stood on its head: "Tell me! Which young master are you writing this for?!"
Xiaodie explained to her young lady at this time: "Master, this was not written by the young lady."
"This has nothing to do with you!" Xiao Xun pointed at Xiaodie and said angrily: "It must be you! I don't look at the young lady on weekdays, and I have made her meet some unscrupulous young men!"
When Xiaodie heard this, she felt a little aggrieved and shook her head: "No, it's not, sir."
"As the grand liberator of Daqing Imperial College, how can I not know what this poem means?!" Xiao Xun looked at Xiao Qingyue at this time, about to get angry.
But I saw Xiao Qingyue holding her arms and looking at her father with a speechless face: "Dad, I really didn't write this. If you make trouble again, I won't tell who the owner of this poem is. .”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xun immediately stopped.
He probed doubtfully: "Is this really not written by you?"
"Really not." Xiao Qingyue said helplessly: "Although your daughter has indeed read poetry and books since she was a child, she doesn't think she has the pen and ink to write such a poem. You also know how your daughter could write such a meaningful poem. Where’s the poetic poetry?!”
When Xiao Xun heard this, he felt that it made sense.
Although everyone praises their daughter as a talented girl from Daqing.
But how much does my daughter weigh?
He knows it too.
It is absolutely impossible to write such a poem.
After Xiao Xun regained some of his emotions, he calmly said: "Who wrote this poem?"
"Dad, you want to know?" Xiao Qingyue deliberately tricked her.
"Of course." Xiao Xun stroked his long beard and said, "I would like to see who wrote such an immoral poem."
Xiao Qingyue suppressed a smile.
Obviously I just want to know who wrote such a talented poem.
The result is to save face.
She knew that her father was the most talented person in the world.
Anyone who can write this kind of poem must have good literary accomplishment.
So she pretended to shrug and said, "Dad, since you want to criticize him, then of course I can't say it."
"Where did your father criticize you? I just want to know who it is." Xiao Xun couldn't stand it, and he urged in a low voice: "Who is it?"
"Then you apologize to Xiaodie. You just wronged her, and I will tell you." Xiao Qingyue reminded.
When Xiaodie heard this, she was frightened.
She quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, the master taught you the right lesson. Xiaodie will definitely remember it in the future."
After hearing this, Xiao Xun was speechless: "Isn't this nonsense?!"
"Dad, you taught me that things can only be divided into right and wrong, not identity and status. You were wrong just now." Xiao Qingyue insisted: "Otherwise I wouldn't tell you who this person is."
Xiao Xun was obviously in a dilemma.
He could only sigh: "It's all your mother's fault for spoiling you rotten!"
Then he deliberately coughed, looked at Xiaodie and said, "Xiaodie, I didn't mean to wrong you just now, I just wanted to remind you."
"Master, Xiaodie knows!" Xiaodie was so frightened that her legs went weak.
Xiao Xun then looked at Xiao Qingyue who was snickering on the side, frowned and stroked his beard and said: "If you don't tell your father yet, who is that person?!"
"he is the one"
Just when Xiao Qingyue was about to tell Xiao Xun, the housekeeper hurried in.
"Laifu, why are you so flustered, how do you behave!" Xiao Xun scolded.
Butler Laifu stammered nervously: "Master, the eldest princess is here!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xun was so frightened that he immediately picked up his robe and wanted to go out to greet him.
But as soon as he took a step, a pretty figure walked in.
Xiao Xun was very frightened. He didn't expect the eldest princess to come to the backyard!
He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Xun, I would like to see Your Highness the Eldest Princess."
"My little daughter, Xiao Qingyue, comes to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." Xiao Qingyue also saluted immediately.
The eldest princess was seen wearing a gorgeous palace princess outfit, a simple and modest red silk robe, with the sleeves hanging down fluttering in the wind, the belt fluttering, and the green silk on her forehead, she was dignified and beautiful.
It just matched her skin as white as snow.
The most impressive thing is the black hair, which is delicate and smooth, hanging down to her waist.
It seems to be the perfect choice for tying twin tails.
The eldest princess looked at the people who were kneeling and said immediately: "Xiao Jijiu, please get up quickly."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Xiao Xun lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I didn't know that the eldest princess was coming, so I failed to greet her in front of the house. Please forgive me, your highness, the eldest princess."
"Xiao Jijiu, don't blame yourself. I just happened to be passing by. I want to visit you sir, so you don't have to be too restrained." The eldest princess said with a smile.
"Yes, Your Highness the eldest princess." Xiao Xun naturally knew that the eldest princess would definitely not do anything meaningless.
It is definitely impossible that he happened to be passing by.
Then, he suggested: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, this is my daughter's boudoir. It may be a bit condescending here. Why don't you follow me to the front hall."
The eldest princess looked at Xiao Qingyue behind Xiao Xun and said with a smile: "I guess this is Qingyue, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyue took a step forward nervously and saluted again: "My little daughter, Xiao Qingyue, please see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess."
"No gift." The eldest princess smiled: "Qingyue, we went to school together when we were children. Do you remember?"
"Qingyue remembers that at that time, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess was the first to complete her daily homework, and Qingyue could not catch up every time." Xiao Qingyue answered.
The eldest princess said: "At that time, you only took into account my status as the eldest princess, so you didn't dare to catch up. I guess this was also Mr. Xiao's reminder, right?~"
Xiao Xun immediately shook his head: "Back to Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, I have never said anything like this to Qingyue back then. It is her eldest princess who is so smart. My little girl is stupid and cannot catch up with her. It is normal."
The eldest princess just smiled and did not continue.
Then she glanced at the books and papers on the ground, and said curiously: "This is..."
"These are some useless books belonging to my little girl. I'm going to throw them away." Seeing this, Xiao Xun quickly looked at Laifu beside him and said, "Laifu, throw them away quickly."
"Yes, sir." Laifu was smart and stepped forward immediately.
When Xiao Qingyue heard it, she thought that there were also "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "Lovesickness" in it.
I felt a little uncomfortable.
But with Her Royal Highness the Princess here, she could only remain silent.
"Huh? Wait."
The eldest princess's words made Laifu dare not move at all.
I saw her bend down, pick up a piece of paper, and read with interest: "Red beans are born in the south. When spring comes, a few branches will grow. I hope you will pick more. This is the most loved thing."
After she finished reading, she tasted it carefully.
Immediately afterwards, the eldest princess looked at Xiao Qingyue and said in surprise: "Qingyue, the poem you wrote?"
Just when Xiao Qingyue was about to answer, Xiao Xun immediately said: "Back to the eldest princess, this is not a poem written by a little girl. How could she write such an immoral poem when she is still in the boudoir?"
"What Xiao Jijiu said is a bit serious~" the eldest princess said with a smile: "Although this poem is about lovesickness, red beans are used throughout the poem. Although it talks about the private relationship between children, it is fresh and refined. Compared with Among the poems circulating outside, this poem can be said to be a breath of fresh air."
"Moreover, the love between children has been a poetry theme highly praised by literati since ancient times. Xiao Jijiu cannot be biased."
Hearing what the eldest princess said, Xiao Xun could only nod awkwardly: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is right, I will bear this in mind."
The eldest princess knew that Xiao Xun said this deliberately, but she didn't care.
Then he looked at Xiao Qingyue and said, "Who wrote the poem?"
"His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, this is a poem written by a friend of my daughter, a young master she knows." Xiao Qingyue answered.
"Oh? Who is it?" the eldest princess asked curiously.
"It's Xu Jie's daughter, Xu Ruyan." Xiao Qingyue hesitated.
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Xun's eyes widened.
Xu Jie.
How could you mention this name in front of the eldest princess!
Xiao Xun even prayed for blessing silently in his heart.
But unexpectedly, the eldest princess was not angry. Instead, she was surprised: "Is she the daughter of Xu Jie, the former Minister of Household Affairs?"
"Exactly." Xiao Qingyue saw that the eldest princess did not have many emotional changes, so she added: "She met a young master, and it was the young master who wrote the poem."
"It's actually a love poem written by a young master. It seems that our Daqing is indeed full of talents." The eldest princess said happily.
After saying that, she planned to leave.
However, his eyes glanced at a book on the ground.
The eldest princess picked it up again.
This made Xiao Xun's heart suddenly rise again.
""The Romance of the West Chamber"?" The eldest princess turned over the book out of curiosity.
Xiao Qingyue watched the eldest princess flipping through "The Romance of the West Chamber", and this time she was really panicked.
She was afraid that the eldest princess would be angry when she saw this kind of love story.
I suddenly became nervous.
But what I didn't expect was that the eldest princess said: "Qingyue, is this book yours too?"
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, it belongs to my little girl." Xiao Qingyue could only answer honestly.
"Can you borrow me to visit you for a few days?"
"Ah?" Xiao Qingyue was stunned for a moment.
Xiao Xun immediately said: "Of course, your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, you can take it. I have plenty of little girls."
"Oh?" Her Royal Highness the Princess laughed: "Then after I finish reading, I will borrow a few more books."
Xiao Xun: Σ(⊙▽⊙“a
Xiao Qingyue:
After a brief chat, the eldest princess was ready to leave.
Before leaving, she looked at Xiao Xun and said, "Xiao Jijiu, I have sent you a tax reform plan before. After reading it, do you have any suggestions?"
"Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess, I believe that the tax reform introduced by your highness the eldest princess will definitely make the people of Daqing live and work in peace and contentment, and they will be more willing to actively farm. The prosperous age of Daqing will be just around the corner." Xiao Xun praised without hesitation. .
After hearing this, the eldest princess shook her head and smiled: "Sir, you taught me how to read and write, and the students know you best. We all hope that the people of Daqing can live a better life. If you have a better idea in your heart, Suggestions, you might as well write them down and have them be handed over to me someday."
"Yes! Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Xiao Xun responded.
"Sir, you are the most virtuous and respected among the Confucian scholars. I hope that you and the Confucian scholars behind you can work with me to make the people of Daqing live a better life."
With that said, the eldest princess made a student gesture.
Xiao Xun was very moved and said quickly: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
"Sir, please go back. The students will go back first." The eldest princess signaled.
After walking out of the Xiao Mansion, she asked the slave beside her: "Qing'er, how is Xu Jie's daughter?"
"Back to Your Highness, according to Your Highness's wishes, I had ordered someone from the Jiaofang Division to cross out her name, so she is not in the Jiaofang Division now, but she must have returned to her hometown." Qing'er, the maid on the side, answered.
After hearing this, the eldest princess nodded: "Xu Jie, if I can't keep my palace, I can only keep his daughter."
Then she got into the carriage.
I opened the book "The Romance of the West Chamber" in my hand.
