Li Shui looked at Li Xin, who was still reluctant to leave Douhua, and smiled.
Li Shui said: "Let's go, Brother Li, it's time to go to court."
Li Xin grabbed Li Shui's collar and said, "You just want to get rid of me with a few bowls of corn porridge, don't you?"
"Brother Huai, you have become more and more stingy recently."
"But you are a stingy person, but sometimes you are quite generous."
Li Shui tilted his head, smiled and said, "Oh? Brother Li, how do you say this?"
Li Xin said slowly: "Just before you came in, I heard the craftsman say that you and the craftsman had the same meal in the morning."
"It can be said that you eat whatever the craftsmen eat."
Li Shui thought about it and felt that something was wrong.
He turned to Li Xin and said, "Whatever I eat should be eaten by the craftsmen. This way I can not only show my status, but also show that I treat the craftsmen equally."
Li Xin curled his lips and continued: "I didn't believe it at first. The craftsman said that they ate bean curd this morning, but I didn't expect that they actually brought you a portion of bean curd."
"I didn't expect Brother Huai to be so generous in private. Looking at Xianyang City, it's really something everyone can do."
Li Shui looked up to the sky and sighed, and said slowly: "These craftsmen, I will have to teach them a lesson later, they have no rules at all."
Li Xin wondered: "Brother Huai, what does this mean?"
Li Shui continued: "On weekdays, I repeatedly emphasize to them not to talk about everything. If it is publicized like this, how can I keep a low profile."
“Sometimes, it’s so hard to quietly do something good.”
Li Xin curled his lips helplessly, stared at Li Shui and said, "Brother Huai, are you such a low-key person? If you do something small, you want everyone in Xianyang City to know about it."
"To be honest, Brother Huai, I now doubt whether you confessed to the craftsmen on purpose. Not only did you tell the truth, but you even exaggerated how good Brother Huai was to them."
Li Shui spread his hands, looked at Li Xin and pointed around the yard, and said slowly: "Brother Li, look at it, I have to explain it specially."
“Every craftsman is willing.”
Li Xin took a look and said slowly: "Brother Huai, I admire you."
"By the way, Brother Huai, where is your laboratory? I wonder how Lu Yi has improved Qinjiu."
Li Shui looked at the time and said, "I'm afraid it's too late now. If we don't go to the morning court, we won't be able to make it in time."
Li Xin slapped his forehead and said slowly: "I almost forgot, let's go, let's go."
After speaking, Li Shui and Li Xin went out towards Xianyang City.
As soon as Li Shui and Li Xin entered the palace gate, they saw Mr. Qi who had arrived late.
Looking closer, Li Xin noticed Master Qi's dark circles at a glance.
Li Xin patted Mr. Qi on the shoulder, laughed and said, "Mr. Qi, why are the circles under your eyes so dark?"
Mr. Qi took a rest and said slowly: "I just didn't sleep all night."
Li Xin was surprised: "Why, were you poisoned yesterday?"
Lord Qi frowned and asked, "Poisoned, what kind of poison?"
"I studied Lord Huai's handwriting yesterday. Finally, my hard work paid off and I achieved some results."
Li Shui smiled beside him and said to Li Xin in a low voice: "Brother Li, not everyone who stays up late is poisoned like you. I am doing academic work, and you really can't sleep."
Li Xin rolled his eyes at Li Shui and said slowly: "It's not like you gave me some strong and bitter overnight tea, otherwise my body wouldn't be able to wake up even if it was shaken by an earthquake."
Li Shui said faintly: "It's better not to sleep, it's too dangerous."
Li Xin elbowed Li Shui and snorted coldly.
At this time, Mr. Qi took out a few rolls of paper from his sleeves and said slowly: "I copied this last night based on your handwriting, Mr. Huai."
"Master Huai, please take a look."
With that said, the two unfolded the papers.
I can see that the word Qinjiu is free and easy, smart and elegant, but also has a sense of vigor and strength.
Li Shui looked at it carefully and found that it was indeed much more interesting than what he had written.
Li Shui couldn't help but admired: "Master Qi is worthy of being a doctor of Qin Dynasty, with first-class knowledge and first-class calligraphy."
"The fonts I created were actually understood by Mr. Qi in such a short period of time."
"Brother Li, it seems that we have found the wrong person. Cooperating with Mr. Qi is a win-win situation."
Li Xin looked at the fonts on the scroll. From the perspective of a soldier, he couldn't see any difference.
This font, no matter who writes it, looks like a small insect crawling.
Li Xin could only smile naively, and followed Li Shui's words and said, "Well, it's a win-win situation, a win-win situation."
Li Xinxin thought: It is not certain whether he can win or not. If it is not accepted by His Majesty, it will all be in vain.
After Li Shui finished admiring it, he put the roll paper into his sleeve.
This action happened to be seen by Chun Yuyue.
Chunyu Yue snorted coldly at Mr. Qi and said, "In just a few days, I have learned how to bribe and trade. Confucianism has made some people lose their face."
After Chunyu Yue finished speaking, the ministers passing by all looked over.
Several ministers who were watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously said, "Huaiguzi is really getting more and more unrestrained. This is in the palace."
"Under His Majesty's nose, he openly accepted bribes."
"Because His Majesty likes me, and because I have a gold medal to avoid death, I can't be so arrogant."
Just when Lord Qi was about to explain, Li Shui took the lead.
Li Shui said slowly: "Dr. Chunyu, there is a saying that disaster comes from the mouth. Don't always regard yourself as an elder just because you are a few years older."
"Many times, the moral character of some elders is worse than that of a child."
Chunyu Yue was choked so much that he turned around and walked away with his sleeves thrown away.
As he walked, he snorted and shook his head: "Rotten wood cannot be carved."
Li Xin smiled at this time and said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, why do you need to be angry with my sister-in-law? He has that temper."
Li Shui said slowly: "I am in a very good mood today. Dr. Chunyu is not angry with me. Besides, when have I ever taken Dr. Chunyu's words seriously?"
Li Shui turned to look at Master Qi and said, "Master Qi, please don't take it personally. Whatever you do is upright and you don't have to worry about the shadow being distorted."
Master Qi was also a little worried at this time, and said slowly: "Master Huai, I wonder if your Majesty will adopt the font of the word Qinjiu."
"His majesty is so majestic that he will not feel soft-hearted because we stay up all night designing fonts."
"If His Majesty is hesitant, those ministers who had some complaints in the first place will definitely block it."
"Then I'm afraid all the recent hard work will be in vain."
Li Shui nodded, patted Master Qi on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Master Qi, don't worry."
"Your Majesty is a pragmatic person. What you care about is the taste of Qin wine. If the taste can be appreciated by Your Majesty."
"I request your Majesty to copy this font and imprint it on the wine. Your Majesty will also consider it."
"If there are other adults who block it, I will have a way to make them change their minds."
