.

Qiaoxi burns incense and plays the piano, and every move in the snow-appreciating hall is beautiful, but whoever sees her actions will ignore her age. When she hears the piano on the snowy night, the clanging sounds will scatter, breaking the snowy night, making everyone intoxicated.

Of course, even if it is not as fascinated, others are a little drunk when they see Yuan Qiaoxi's appearance. Lin Shihong seems to be unable to find Bei, but just staring at Yuan Qiaoxi playing the piano, the blind man can see the admiration in his eyes.

Yuan Qiaoxi was burning incense and playing the piano, while Xiao Buyi felt that she was burning the piano and cooking cranes, which was not in harmony. He stared at Yuan Qiaoxi and felt that she was mainly gentle and lingering in playing the piano. Compared to Mengdie's passion and change, it was still a bit worse. However, Yuan Qiaoxi was still young and must have grown up in a greenhouse. Without Mengdie's vicissitudes and mood, hardship and helplessness, it was normal that she could not understand too much. In addition, women, chess, calligraphy and painting are just adjustments, and it can be regarded as a dowry that comes with marriage. When she meets her husband, she is an appreciation person. When she meets a visitor, she summons her to play it a few times. After showing off, her face will naturally rise. However, playing the piano in the eyes of a rough person like Xiao Buyi, there is no use for playing it.

Yuan Qiaoxi, who played the piano, was less shy and more solemn. Xiao Buyi looked at her for a while and found that it was not known whether it was the light or the psychological effect. Yuan Qiaoxi's face turned red again. Lin Shihong just looked at Yuan Qiaoxi. It seemed that she was soaked in a wine jar from the inside out, and she could not be drunk anymore. The snow outside the pavilion, the clear sound inside the pavilion, and the state of elegance, Xiao Buyi had too many rough things, but she could only pretend to appreciate it and swept over inadvertently. She found that Yuan Ruoxi was just staring at herself with a burning look, and her heart trembled, and she looked away.

Although I don’t understand what’s going on now, Xiao Buyi also knows that Yuan Ruoxi has a great affection for him, but he only has a headache for Yuan Ruoxi and doesn’t know what to do. Even if he is a friend, he feels too intimate, and this feeling is difficult to describe, but in modern terms, it means not to call!

As soon as the piano sound stopped, Lin Shihong, who seemed drunk, was already screaming loudly, clapping his palms repeatedly, deafeningly. It turned out that he was not drunk enough just now.

Everyone also applauded and applauded. Xiao Buyi didn't want to attract attention, so he patted him twice with arty style. He felt that he had gained a lot from Yuan Lan today, but he stopped when he saw the good news. It was really a failure. Yuan Ruoxi's eyes were like two awls, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

After Yuan Qiaoxi finished playing the piano, Yingying stood up and bowed to everyone. Except for Ma Xingkong, everyone actually returned the favor with peers. Xiao Buyi then had time to look at Lin Shihong and Wang Junkuo again, and found that both of them were young talents. She felt that Yang Xiaofu was paying attention to him from beginning to end, but Xiao Buyi didn't look at him, but she was thinking about the origin of Yang Xiaofu in her heart.

As soon as the sound of the piano fell, the maids brought the warm wine to everyone early for drinking. As cold as today, the wine was placed in the pavilion. Although it was not frozen, it was extremely cold. Drinking it hurts the body. The work of the servants and maids here was of course to maintain the temperature of the wine and pour wine for the guests. Looking at the busy figure in front of him, Xiao Buyi understood that the luxury of the Sui Dynasty was not only Yang Guang, the aristocratic families, the Chinese people in Jiangnan, etc., were generally proud of luxury, and this kind of snow-appreciation romance was also based on luxury. Of course, Yuan Lan could not avoid the vulgarity.

After everyone finished drinking a round of wine, Yang Xiaofo smiled and said, "Today I heard Miss Yuan's poems and a round of wine. I didn't expect to hear Miss Yuan play the piano and a round of wine. These two rounds of wine make people feel refreshed. I see this third round, I will listen to the proofreader writing a few poems for us."

Xiao Buyi was slightly stunned and was already a little scared about writing poetry, so he had to say, "I am just a rough man, Young Master Yang is joking."

Lin Shihong turned his head and looked at Xiao Buyi, and said with a smile: "I don't know that the proofreader has such literary talent. I think Mr. Yang will never be aimless. Please don't refuse."

Yuan Ruoxi was a little dissatisfied and thought that his implicit meaning was suddenly standing up and said, "The poems just now were all written by Brother Xiao, I just borrowed them. Do you think it's not good?"

Lin Shihong was stunned for a moment, unable to touch his mind, and even less understood the relationship. He said awkwardly: "I'm not what Miss Yuan said."

Yuan Lan frowned slightly and said, "Ruoxi, Nephew Lin just thinks that very few of us business people are literary, and they don't mean to question Buyi. You are too careful. Besides, what is the use of poetry? You can't get money. I think Buyi is just like that."

If Xiao Buyi had heard this before, he probably thought he was humble for him, but today he knew that Yuan Lan had a deep meaning. Although Yuan Lan was a businessman, he knew more than many people and knew how to keep a low profile. He was humble to Xiao Buyi and still thought about Xiao Buyi.

Yuan Ruoxi heard his uncle's explanation and snorted, "Uncle, I have never seen you talk about business all day long. This is the snow-rewarding hall, not the business hall."

Yuan Lan smiled slightly, "If a businessman doesn't talk about business, it's better to go to the Juren exam." Seeing Qiaoxi's intention to be separated, he said in a deep voice: "Qiaoxi, don't rush back first. Buyi came here for the first time and greeted him with a glass of bar."

He said casually, and Xiao Buyi was humble and dared not say anything. He was suddenly startled by the silence around him. He turned around and found that everyone's expressions were very strange and he couldn't help but be confused.

Ma Xingkong opened his mouth wide and wanted to eat people. However, Lin Shihong's face was flushed, and there was grief and anger in his eyes. Wang Junguo was still as usual, but he clenched his fists. Only Yang Xiaofo squinted his eyes, but he looked at Yuan Ruoxi!

Yuan Ruoxi's expression was the most unnatural. She was surprised at first, then was frightened and angry, and she changed instantly as sad and angry as Lin Shihong. Her eyes were just looking at Xiao Buyi, her teeth were biting tightly, and her red lips seemed to be about to drip bleeding.

Xiao Buyi couldn't understand why the expressions of the people present were so weird? Could it be because Qiaoxi wanted to give him a glass of wine? She turned to Qiaoxi and looked over. When she saw Qiaoxi standing there, her body was a little stiff.

When the maid heard Yuan Lan's order, she put down the wine glass in front of Yuan Qiaoxi early, and filled a glass of warm wine. Yuan Qiaoxi stood still. Yuan Lan ordered in a deep voice: "Qiaoxi!"

Yuan Qiaoxi looked at Yuan Ruoxi quickly. She looked a little nervous, but she still picked up the wine glass and walked slowly towards Xiao Buyi. Her steps were quiet and she walked very slowly. Although there were many people in the pavilion, no one spoke! Although Yuan Qiaoxi walked slowly, she still walked to Xiao Buyi. Her face became redder and red, but she still picked up the wine glass and said with her eyebrows: "Young Master Xiao, please, Qiaoxi toast you a glass of wine."

Xiao Buyi was about to reach out to receive the wine, and Yuan Ruoxi stood up suddenly and shouted: "Xiao Buyi. You can't drink this glass of wine!"

Xiao Buyi was puzzled and stretched out his hand in the air before he asked a question. Yuan Lan said coldly: "Ruoxi, it's not your turn to make decisions here."

Yuan Ruoxi was stunned, her eyes were crystal clear, as if she was about to cry. When she saw everyone, she had different expressions and was confused, and her face showed anger. She suddenly rushed out of the snow-watching hall, but she just left the place and said loudly: "Xiao Buyi, if you drink this glass of wine, I will hate you for the rest of your life."

Xiao Buyi frowned, wondering how drinking a glass of wine would cause such a big trouble. Yuan Qiaoxi heard her sister shouting. Her hands trembled, and the wine glass fell down. With a 'ping' sound, it was smashed. Xiao Buyi was confused, and Yuan Qiaoxi's face turned redder and she apologized: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry."

The moment the wine glass broke, Lin Shihong was relieved, Xiao Buyi was even more puzzled, but Yuan Lan was humming

, "Qiaoxi. Go back and rest."

Yuan Qiaoxi nodded, looked up at Xiao Buyi and said, "Young Master Xiao, I'm really sorry."

"Just just a glass of wine, what's wrong with me?" Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Qiaoxi goes back and rest. It's cold outside, so be careful that my body will be frozen."

As soon as Yuan Qiaoxi and Yuan Ruoxi left, the snow-watching hall calmed down. Everyone drank for a while and felt that there was no smell. Yuan Lan shook his eyebrows and said, "Ruoxi doesn't understand the rules, please don't blame everyone." Everyone shook their heads and said that the master was too polite. Seeing that the master was in a bad mood, Ma Xingkong had already stood up carelessly, "Brother Yuan Shi, I think it's getting late, and the banquet will be over."

Everyone agreed that it was too late and the curfew time had passed. Yuan Lan arranged for his servants to arrange residence for the guests. After all the social engagements were completed, he found Xiao Buyi as soon as possible. The first sentence was, "Buyi, this is my mistake, please forgive me."

—

"How can I explain this by Brother Yuan?" Xiao Buyi said in surprise.

Yuan Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Do you still remember the Geng Tie I gave you?" Xiao Buyi nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable. Yuan Lan shook her head and said, "It's such a difference in thought, but it's something I never thought of. When I saw Buyi, I thought you were not a thing in the pool, so I had the idea of ​​marrying you. It was just that I decided to make the decision. My little girl Xian Shu Dehui, I guess Buyi also saw it."

"Qiaoxi is indeed well-behaved, but the rare thing is that she is very talented." Xiao Buyi nodded and said, "But I feel that she is still young. Brother Yuan, you seem to be too anxious, right?"

"Don't be anxious," Yuan Lan smiled, "It seems that Buyi has a good impression of the little girl. I feel that the little girl has a good impression of you." Seeing Xiao Buyi's blushing, Yuan Lan was afraid that he would be flirting with shame and instead made a fuss, and changed the subject, "Buyi, just remember this, I'm not in a hurry to get your answer. But I didn't expect that you had seen Ruoxi, which was very strange."

"Ruoxi is Brother Yuan's niece?" Xiao Buyi asked.

Yuan Lan nodded, "My elder brother died early, leaving only this niece behind. I think elder brother died early, and I can't help but spoil her. If you have any good things, you should give them to her first. If she doesn't want them, then give them to Qiaoxi. Qiaoxi is well-behaved and knows my thoughts. Many times she also gives way to her sister."

Xiao Buyi said at a glance: "Brother Yuan, don't you regard me as something, too?"

"The Buyi is indeed smart," Yuan Lan laughed and joked: "Of course you are not a thing, you can be regarded as a strange place."

Xiao Buyi felt awkward when he heard it, and he had already figured out the truth. "So you went south and saw Ruo Xi first. You felt a little ashamed of finding your daughter's in-laws first, so you gave me to Ruo Xi?"

"It's almost that." Yuan Lan nodded and said, "When I went out of the frontier, I didn't know that you were more capable than I thought, so I just wanted to marry your little girl to you. After turning back to Mayi, I felt that it would be unfair to Ruoxi. After seeing Ruoxi, I couldn't help but change my mind and mention you to her. However, she was arrogant and said that you were a commoner and didn't like it at all. Before I could explain anything, she was already out in anger and thought that I was not good to her," Yuan Lan said this and shook her head repeatedly, "It seems that I am wrong. It seems that I am wrong, but why do you know Ruoxi again? She doesn't seem to hate you, a commoner, and she actually has a good impression of you?"

Xiao Buyi talked about the causes and consequences, and Yuan Lan was also glaring and shook her head repeatedly and said, "Is this God's will? But no matter what, I can't let Ruoxi marry you."

Xiao Buyi thought it was just right, and I never thought of marrying her.

"I don't let Ruoxi marry you, just because of her temper, and she can't help her husband." Yuan Lan's face flashed with anger, "I have taught her for so many years and don't understand any etiquette. If you marry her, I'm afraid the entire Yuan family will be destroyed by her."

Before Xiao Buyi could express his opinions and opinions, Yuan Lan comforted Xiao Buyi and said, "Buyi, things have come to this point. Let Qiaoxi go first. I will handle Ruoxi's affairs before I talk about it. Please don't be surprised."

Xiao Buyi was not used to it, but was relieved and refused to die. "Brother Yuan, you don't have to be too impatient. In my opinion, Ruoxi is just honest and not as serious as you said."

Yuan Lan stood up and said, "Bu Yi, you are kind-hearted. Everyone looks at it with a tolerant perspective. This is a good thing, but it is also a shortcoming. You must know that you are harmless and a tiger will hurt people's hearts. No matter what, I will stand on your side now. You don't have to worry about being a proofreader, I will find a way to arrange everything."

After Yuan Lan said his trust, he left, but Xiao Buyi had a headache and didn't know what he wanted to arrange. He really didn't know how to deal with these two girls.

***

The snow was flying and it didn't stop. After a few days of heavy snow, the snow on the road was piled up more than half a person. The house next to the main street was in trouble and was recruited by the government to clean up the snow, which was extremely miserable. It was just because the emperor didn't know when he would go out for a trip, so it was very disliked if there was snow on the road.

The man in Xiao Buyi rushed to the east city to read a book. When he saw that all the people were empty alleys, he ran to the street to clean up the snow, and complained, and prayed that Yang Guang would calm down for a while and not go out again. Otherwise, the road would be blocked with heavy snow. It would probably take tens of thousands of people to mobilize just to clean up the snow. He has been here for more than two months and knows that this kind of thing looks incredible in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is very common for Yang Guang to happen.

These days he heard the people talking about what the emperor is ambitious and what the emperor wants to do for the eternal emperor, and he felt that Qin Emperor and Han Wu were not as good as him. In fact, Yang Guangdi did several major things, which was not much different from Qin Emperor and Han Wu in Xiao Buyi's eyes. At least in Xiao Buyi's eyes, this Grand Canal may make Yang Guang more convenient to travel, but the cargo ships running above are not fake. It can even be said that the Grand Canal greatly enhanced the economic lifeline of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the supply of the East was extremely rich. The Grand Canal facilitated Yang Guang and also facilitated the people. This was economically more than the Great Wall, which was so laborious to the people.

The national defense construction that hurts money is strong. Emperor Wu of Han was also a military force and opened up his territory. Emperor Yang of Sui was really big at this moment and wanted to defeat Goryeo. However, Emperor Wu of Han fought a battle with his money and lost money. With one beauty, he defeated all evil. The failure of Emperor Yang of Sui was that he failed in the conquest, so he became accused of later generations. Xiao Buyi immediately thought that if Emperor Yang of Sui succeeded in the first conquest of Goryeo, he would take some time to rewrite history, and the ending might be very different. At least he would not be scolded so badly in later generations. It was a pity that other wise kings wrote their own biography for themselves, and it was also depressed that he wrote it by others.

Yang Guang only thought that everything he wanted to do was perfect, comfort, and gorgeous. It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but he was a emperor, which made the people complain and face kill people. When Xiao Buyi thought about it, he had already entered Dongcheng.

Other roads may be silted, but the main roads from Shangchun Gate to Jianguo Gate have been cleaned up long ago. Xiao Buyi has been interested in the training methods of hawks and dogs these days. He felt that the communication was currently backward. When he remembered Beipei's pigeon communication, he wanted to raise an eagle to play. Of course, it is a secondary purpose. If he raises an eagle, he doesn't need to feed it, and he calls it and leaves it. Wouldn't that be very arrogant? If he contacts the mountain village, he doesn't have to suffer from the high mountains and long roads.

A round trip is also good.

Whether it is training horses or eagles, communication with animals is extremely important. Xiao Buyi is confident about this. The book only talks about the origin and habits of eagles. The training method is simple. Xiao Buyi remembers that the book records an eagle called Haidongqing. Some people outside the border are tamed and hunted. They are fierce and fierce. Catching wolves is like capturing sheep. They are very envious. However, this thing is like cats, dogs and horses. They have to be raised from childhood to train. When it is too early, it is difficult to change the habits. When he arrives at Xiuwen Hall today, he just wants to read through the detailed information and catch a few of them after going out to the border next time.

Before one foot had entered the Xiuwen Hall, Yu Shinan had already come out and whispered: "Brother Xiao, you can be happy to congratulate."

Xiao Buyi's face turned slightly red. He thought that he had learned about Loli a few days ago, and said with a stern face: "Brother Yu, why are you happy?"

"Liao Xuan has made the carved paper and officially started printing the book yesterday. Although there are still flaws, such as the problem of using ink materials, it can be used after all. I saw it yesterday. Long Yan was very happy and said that I would remember you for your merit."

Xiao Buyi then remembered that he had finally made some insignificant contributions to the rise and progress of China. Lao Bi invented movable type printing, and he invented the woodblock printing first. The road is to take one step at a time, and as a fat man, he must eat it in one bite. Even if he wanted to invent movable type printing, he would not be in a hurry to shake out the materials and see the effect of the woodblock printing.

"I have the least role here, but I just want to be lazy." Xiao Buyi said modestly: "If it weren't for Brother Yu's persistence and the seriousness of the master craftsman, I think this woodblock printing would not have been applied so quickly."

Yu Shinan shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao is such a bad word. Do you know that for thousands of years, the one who is not bad is your lazy method. If you are lazy once, it will be of great benefit to future scholars. What Shinan does is just a simple task."

Xiao Buyi couldn't help but feel good about Yu Shinan. He felt that no matter how the times change, people like Yu Shinan who concentrate on thinking about future generations will always be the wealth of the country. "Brother Shinan is such a bad word, everyone has their own thoughts, but they have to do it, but everyone will not do it. Others may do this for the sake of success and profit, but only Brother Shinan thinks about the literati in the world. I feel ashamed of this state of mind."

Xiao Buyi was frank, Yu Shinan looked at Xiao Buyi for a long time and whispered: "Brother Xiao, it is a blessing in life to see you. I just hope you are a good person and a good life, so as not to be harmed by villains."

The two of them were sympathetic and were moved by each other's personalities. One of them laughed and said, "Secretary, proofreader, are you essaying in the early morning?"

Xiao Buyi and Yu Shinan turned around and found that Liu Guyan was standing behind the two of them, looking at them with a smile, full of praise. The three provinces and six ministries of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Escorts of the Secretariat were considered to be outside the staff, and the Escorts of the Secretariat were also higher than those of the Secretariat because they could be by the emperor. Although Liu Guyan was the leader of the Secretariat and his official rank was not bad, he was actually much worse than that of the provinces. Besides, he was also a literati and did not show off his airs with everyone. The entire Secretariat was considered poor, but it was also the least intrigue.

Yu Shinan and Xiao Buyi asked the chief, but Liu Guyan waved his hand and patted the two of them boldly on the shoulders, "Secretary, proofreader, what kind of woodblock printing do you do is very good. The emperor emphasizes the most ingenious ideas and master craftsmen are capable of craftsmen. Because the woodblock printing is successful, I have rewarded them, but it still has your contribution."

Xiao Buyi and the other two said they were afraid. With the wise decision-making of the leader, they achieved their achievements today. This is inseparable from Liu Guyan's teachings. Although Liu Guyan only appeared three times during this period, both of them were human beings and were not people who compete for merit. They did not forget to do a good job in unity in the Secretariat. Liu Guyan was overjoyed and felt that it was a pity that he had a son. Otherwise, if he had a daughter, he could find one of the two men as his son-in-law, which would bring him closer to the relationship.

When the three of them were in harmony, the imperial edict came again, but this time they changed to a common housekeeper. Liu Guyan and Xiao Buyi and Yu Shinan received the edict, but the emperor felt that the creation had never happened in the ages due to the carving of the plate. It was a happy congratulations that Xiao Buyi and Yu Shinan ordered Xiao Shinan to enter Xianren Palace to enjoy the snow.

Liu Guyan was a little disappointed and thought that he was not as good as a secretary. Then he thought that Yu Shinan was steady and knowledgeable, but Xiao Buyi was very eager and intelligent. With these two people under his command, if he was favored by the emperor, he just needed to enjoy his achievements. What's wrong with it? With mercy, Liu Guyan instructed Xiao Buyi's rules in the palace. Yu Shinan was calm, good in calligraphy, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and was summoned by the emperor many times, but he was unexpectedly wrong. He was afraid that Xiao Buyi would not understand the rules and would cause him as a secretary.

***

Xianren Palace is not in the Eastern Capital, but in the southwest of the Eastern Capital, it is connected to Fujian in the south and across Luoshui in the north. Xiao Buyi knew that he knew it, but he had never seen it. When he came, he entered from the Xining Gate to the north and wandered around the Eastern Capital. He knew that Shanglinyuan and Xianren Palace were magnificent, but he had no time to see it. Although he was mentally prepared, Xiao Buyi was still shocked when he saw Xianren Palace after leaving the Eastern Capital. He never thought that Yang Guang's casual palace would be so large. The radius of more than ten miles was actually the scope of Xianren Palace!

Needless to mention the strange materials and strange stones, although Jiamu is winter, it is also full of vitality. The white area in the Eastern Capital City can be seen in Xianren Palace, and it is full of vitality.

When he was surprised to see Xiao Buyi, Yu Shinan whispered: "Brother Xiao, it is most important to go to Xianren Palace to speak with the emperor. Don't rush to the top."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Yu, for your advice."

Yu Shinan sighed, "Actually, Brother Xiao knows how to do it. I think Shinan is a waste of time."

The two followed the Tongshi Houseman and the guards into Xianren Palace. Xiao Buyi knew that it was troublesome to enter the palace and had already put everything in place. Naturally, the sword could not be brought. After being guarded by soldiers, Xianren Palace was truly presented to Xiao Buyi and others.

When Xiao Buyi saw Xianren Palace, the first look was big, and the second look was gorgeous. When he looked at it, he felt that it was extremely extravagant. But when he looked at it, he felt that it was very strange.

Now it is cold and everything is dry, but the palace looks red and green, and the spring is long in the sky. Xiao Buyi can't believe that there is such a blessed land on earth. If you look carefully, you will know that the trees and the ground are decorated with colorful silks - floating in the sky - traveling thousands of miles. Where can you walk thousands of miles? Buying the Great Wall in the desert..."

The sound of the piano is full of golden spears, the singer sings the poems boldly, but the tone is graceful, and the chivalrous and tenderness is filled with a unique atmosphere of palpitations and shaking spirits.

The palace servant came here and saw a song and dance that the emperor had to admire. He didn't dare to leave again, but just asked the two to wait. Xiao Buyi felt that the poem was done well and was quite proud. Yu Shinan had already whispered: "Brother Xiao, this is a poem written by the emperor during his Western tour of Zhangye. I wonder if you know?"

Xiao Buyi shook his head. "I don't know, but I'll give me a reminder from Brother Xie Shinan."
To be continued...
