Although Li Mingzhu, who is in her early thirties, has given birth to a daughter, she is well-maintained in the Domain Lord's Mansion and looks as young and beautiful as Li Hongxiu, and her every move and smile is charming.

He took the tea brought by his sister, took a sip, lightly opened his red lips, and said: "You also know that there are a lot of distances in the Domain Lord's Mansion. In addition, this summer is much hotter than in previous years. Thinking that Fengyun City is close to Tianshan Mountain,

If it's cooler than mine, come here with Yu'er to take a break, my sister won't dislike my mother-in-law, right?"

"What are you talking about? You can live in this building as long as you want, Yu'er, don't you think so?" Li Hongxiu rolled her eyes at her sister.

Dongfang Yu'er replied while eating watermelon: "Yes, my aunt is the best to Yu'er. I will live at my aunt's house from now on and will not come back."

"Be careful if your father hears this, he will punish you for endorsing it." After saying that, Li Mingzhu took out a scroll from his hand and handed it to Li Hongxiu.

"The last time you asked the plum painter in the Imperial City to paint your portrait, it took almost two years to complete it. It was really difficult for her. Are you satisfied with it after taking a look?"

Li Hongxiu took the scroll, called Xiao Hong to join him, and unfolded it on the desk in the flower hall.

When opened, the picture is two feet wide and five feet long. In the painting, Li Hongxiu is wearing a white dress, with red lips and white teeth. She is standing under an apricot tree, frowning slightly, staring into the distance. The apricot flowers are falling in spring. If you look closely, it looks like in the painting.

People are also looking at you. You are so charming, not just in words.

The canvas is made of the best silk from the Dongxuan region, with crochet and coloring, and is rich and skillful. The original boneless painting method uses color to dye the figure's form and charm, and the expression is exquisite, fresh and refined.

Li Hongxiu was filled with joy and said hello repeatedly. Xiaohong was stunned and said, "Master, is this you? You are as beautiful as a fairy in the sky."

Dongfang Yu'er came over to join in the fun, pulled Li Hongxiu and said, "My aunt is more beautiful than my mother. I want to draw one when I grow up."

It made everyone in the room laugh.

Li Mingzhu glared at her daughter and said, "What did you say about your mother? I don't want you anymore, give it to my aunt."

After he finished, he pulled Li Hongxiu, pointed to the upper left corner of the canvas and said: "Mr. Mei said that although the painting is finished, he doesn't know what sentence to write on it. I wrote it randomly because I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I left it blank and you can fill it in yourself."

superior."

Li Hongxiu gently stroked the canvas, thinking of the two sentences written by Li Ye:

The chaotic wind blows away the wind and clouds

The returning bird is frightened and flies into red sleeves

He thought to himself: This blank space must be filled in by Li Ye.

This woman's brain is better than that of a man. In the blink of an eye, Li Hongxiu asked Xiaohong to say: The owner of Hongxiu has a painting and offers a reward to the literary talents in Fengyun City to inscribe a poem on the painting. Regardless of the men and women in the city,

Anyone, young or old, can do it. Just send the poem to Hongxiu Tower. If the poster is satisfied, he will be thanked five hundred gold coins once he adopts it.

It should be noted that in Fengyun City, copper coins are used to buy food and rice. A family of three can only survive by spending ten gold coins a year. For a time, the owner of Hongxiu has stirred up Fengyun City, literati, old and young men, and every family.

All the girls were thinking hard about how to write a poem and earn the five hundred gold coins.

The harsh summer sun could not stop the people's determination to make money. Noisy carriages and horses flocked to the Red Sleeve Tower, and Hualala crowds of people rushed to the Red Sleeve Tower.

I want to offer a poem, I want to offer a poem.

On East Main Street, where three carriages can walk abreast, the outside of Hongxiu Building was blocked by enthusiastic people. They all said that they wrote the best poems and wanted to go inside to see the owner of Hongxiu Building.

This frightened Li Hongxiu, and she quickly ordered Xiaohong that everyone was not allowed to enter the building. They lined up at the door, submitted poetry registrations, and waited for notification. Only customers who made purchases were allowed to enter the building. In this way, they also lined up. This flower

For money, you still have to call the number.

Li Mingzhu looked at her sister and smiled, "You are cruel. Before the money for writing poems was spent, the gold coins spent came. This sister really knows how to make money, unlike me, who only knows how to spend money."

...

After talking about Li Hongxiu, let’s talk about the General’s Mansion.

The young lady in the General's Mansion is eight years old and has grown taller.

After being hit by Li Ye, I practiced with the iron lock in the garden of the mansion that day.

After returning from Li Ye's house, the young lady was thinking about how to practice her body. There was no suitable small armor for her in the general's palace, so she had to practice with the iron locks in the palace. With some determination, she made great progress.

I could lift fifty pounds at first, but now I can lift seventy.

I saw her little hands constantly lifting up and down, she was so tired that she didn't need them anymore.

The general, his wife, and Xu Jingyun were drinking tea in the garden pavilion of the mansion. Looking at the sweating young lady, the mother-in-law felt heartbroken. She said to the general: "Wushuang has been practicing for an hour, and the weather is so hot.

, ask her to come over for a sip of herbal tea and have a rest."

The general glared and said, "This is hard. Didn't you say that boy Li Ye is practicing in iron armor?"

"That's a boy, how can Wushuang compare with him?" Madam was unhappy. She raised her tea cup and glanced at Xu Jingyun.

Xu Jingyun thought to herself that you feel sorry for your daughter, and I also feel sorry for my disciple. She raised her body half up, waved to the young lady, and said, "Wushuang, come back!"

As soon as the young lady heard the master calling her, she stopped her practice, put down the iron chain, and trotted over.

I saw a red shadow, and with a whoosh, it entered the pavilion. A pair of small hands hugged Xu Jingyun from behind. "Master still feels sorry for his disciple. Hey, he is so tired!"

Master Jingyun covered his mouth and smiled.

The general also smiled and poured tea for the young lady. "Sit down for a while first and then drink. You must have wrongly blamed your mother. It was she who asked your master to call you back."

The general's wife pretended to be angry and turned her face away.

The young lady hugged the master with one hand and held the tea cup with the other, and screamed: "I know, I know, mother is so stingy." She took a sip of tea and turned around to pester Lin Yueru.

The general's wife hugged the little sister and felt that her body was covered with sweat. She said distressedly: "This body is covered with sweat and is soaked to the skin! Go back to the room to wash yourself and change into clean clothes." After saying this, she took the little girl with her.

Sister leaves.

The young lady quickly held her mother down, waved her little hands, and ran away with a gust of wind.

"Okay, I can wash it myself. You can chat with father and master!"

Xu Jingyun smiled softly, looked at the young lady walking away and said, "This wild girl. I told her to walk well like Li Ye, but she forgot about it in less than two days."

The general looked at the two women with confusion. "What does this have to do with that boy Li Ye?"

The general's wife glanced at Master Jing and told the general that Li Ye was not only learning piano from a gentleman who ran in Zizhuyuan, but also practiced martial arts. She usually wore sixty kilograms of black iron armor and never took it off even when sleeping.

.

He also practiced Buddhism with the Kuchan monk from the Great Buddha Temple. Not only did he wear iron armor, but he also had an iron bowl weighing about twenty kilograms holding water on his head all day long.

When the general heard this, he was shocked and slapped his hand on the tea table, frightening the two women.

"This kid is so cruel to himself. The armor of the soldiers in our army is less than forty pounds." The general was really excited. "Last time at the city lord's house, I thought he could just recite poetry and write. Look.

Come on, he will surpass Wushuang in the future."

The general thought to himself, if my soldiers train themselves like Li Ye, they must be a group of tiger and wolf warriors.

"I'm going to take this kid to the military camp another day and let those bastards see: the armor on a six-year-old child is heavier than theirs."

Master Jingyun picked up the cup, brought it to his mouth, put it down again, and said, "It's OK for boys to train muscles horizontally, but it's not suitable for Wushuang. When I have time, I'll go ask the gentleman at Zizhuyuan to see if I can find someone suitable for Wushuang training."

exercises."

When the general's wife heard about it, she liked it. "Call me when you go, and we will go together. I also want to get to know Li Ye's husband. It is said that he was once the national counselor of the imperial city."

The general smiled and said: "If you are willing, sir, it would be okay to invite the master and apprentice to the general's residence for dinner."

Xu Jing went and nodded in agreement. That’s okay.

The general's wife lowered her head in thought, looked at her husband, then at Master Jingyun, and said slowly: "You said that Li Ye was so good when he was a child, and he will definitely be great when he grows up."

"Last year, Wushuang was still clamoring to marry him when she grew up. How about finding a time to go to the academy and talk to Mrs. Li and Ye Zhiqiu?"

The general did not reply immediately, but looked at Xu Jingyun and said, "Master Xu, you are Wushuang's master, and you are also half of her parent. What do you think of Li Ye?"

"Master Xu, remember that I went to the academy with you last time. Li Zhen is an excellent child. We have to book him first to avoid being missed by others that day!" General Ye's wife looked at him expectantly.

Xu Jingyun.

Xu Jingyun smiled, looked at the anxious couple, and said, "Li Ye is indeed a very good kid, and I like him too. Although Wushuang had some unpleasantness with him last year, it was still a child's matter. We don't know each other even if we don't fight each other."

, but it saves us the money to be paired with."

"If Mr. Li and Mrs. Ye from the academy don't object, the two children probably won't say anything and can settle the matter first. When they grow up, they will have a guarantee and will not leave each other easily."

"It's just that Wushuang's talent is good. In a few years, when she gets older, I will have to take her to the sect to practice. After all, the sect's training conditions are much better than here, and it will be good for Wushuang."

Speaking of this, Xu Jingyun had a tender look on her face, stroking the tea cup in her hand, and said softly: "This young man who looks like a flower is really enviable."

The couple was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thinking that this beautiful master was still single.

The three of them were speechless for a moment, each with their own thoughts.

For a moment, all I could hear was the chirping of cicadas all over the garden, the leaves were turning yellow before my eyes, and my heart was broken.

When the three of them were relatively speechless and sitting in silence, the young lady took a bath, changed her clothes, gnawed a pear in her hand, and came all the way over.

"Big news: Sister Li from Hongxiu Tower hung 500 gold coins in the city and wrote poems for her paintings. People in the city went crazy and all rushed to the Red Sleeve Tower to queue up!" Before anyone arrived, the voice came first.

Come in.

All three of them were delighted that the pistachios had arrived.

The general's wife smiled and said, "Li Hongxiu is looking for someone to write poems. What's the matter with you? I see how anxious you are." After saying that, she wanted to win over the young lady.

The young lady was gnawing on a pear with one hand and hugging the general's wife with the other. She felt anxious and blurted out: "Isn't that boy Li Ye good at writing poems? At the last banquet at the city lord's palace, didn't he write:

The turbulent wind blows away all the apricots, and the returning birds are frightened and fly away with red sleeves and rouge!"

Xu Jingyun smiled after hearing this and looked at the general's wife. "Come on, you don't need to make excuses. Wushuang has figured out a way by himself!"

The general laughed and thought: My daughter is still smart.

The general's wife looked at the young lady and couldn't laugh or cry. She thought to herself that it was all a coincidence, whatever she thought of came to her.

The young lady doesn't know what these three people are thinking. They only care about their own thoughts. "I have to tell Li Ye and ask him to write a poem that Sister Li likes. I got five hundred gold coins and I will share it with him."
