After binding the golden yellow silk thread, frightens keeps silent, immediately retreats timidly. Elegant widow surnamed Hong however lifts the curtain screen leisurely, the hot pot of quick-boiled mutton is the mist ascends, she was only carries some secret made/system seasoning dishes to place on the table, the male left hand lifted empty presses, hinted woman to sit down, then picked chopsticks sheep Tun- the sharp meat put in the pot, passed many times not to take back the chopsticks, the woman who has not sat down restrained the anger vigorously, said by the light tune: „Do not spoil the meat.” 京城张灯结彩迎新冬,更在恭贺诸王离京就藩。这一日的黄昏好似床帏后欲语还休的女子,褪去衣裳极为缓慢,一名衣着华贵的中年男子下车,踩在余晖上缓缓走入饭馆,屋内没有任何一个自诩老饕的食客,都给门外挂起的谢客木牌拦在门外,乘兴而来败兴而归,好在京城都知道九九馆的老板娘架子比皇亲国戚还大,习以为常,跟男子差不多时分来到街上的食客,看到有人竟然入了屋子,就想着跟进去碰运气,结果给几名扈从手握刀柄,拦住去路,瞥见这些扈从刀鞘裹金黄丝线之后,都吓得噤若寒蝉,立即唯唯诺诺退去。姓洪的俏寡妇施施然掀开帘子,涮羊肉的火锅已是雾气升腾,她只是端了一些秘制的调料碗碟放在桌上,男子左手抬起虚按一下,示意女子坐下,然后夹起一筷子羊臀-尖肉放入锅中,过了好些时候也没收回筷子,没有坐下的妇人极力克制怒气,以平淡腔调说道:“别糟蹋了肉。” The men heard that the sound retracting chopsticks, went to all kinds of fine dishes to moisten moistening slowly, this put in the mouth, nods, truly had a distinct flavor. He has talked to chew the Capital City most typical quick-boiled mutton, has not actually opened the mouth to say a word. The women have been standing on putting on a serious face. Finished eating in the porcelain tray light/only to look at texture very attractive buttocks- the sharp meat, the man put down the chopsticks, finally raised the head saying: „Hong Chou, you have thought that now the world, each Liyang royal government order may and place, district of jurisdiction all common people, benefit from Xun Ping without exception. All these give credit to his death, gave credit to Our past seeing somebody in danger and doing nothing, gave credit after We ascended the throne to his guilt.” 男子闻声缩回筷子,慢悠悠去各式各样的精致碗碟沾了沾,这才放入嘴中,点了点头,确实别有风味。他一直动嘴嘴嚼京城最地道的涮羊肉,却没有开口言语。妇人就一直板着脸站着。吃完了瓷盘里光看纹理就很诱人的臀-尖肉,男子就放下筷子,终于抬头说道:“洪绸,你有没有想过,当今天下,每一个离阳朝廷政令可及的地方,辖境所有百姓,都无一例外受惠于荀平。这一切归功于他的死,归功于朕当年的见死不救,归功于朕登基以后对他的愧疚。” By Son of Heaven says now woman of surname sneers saying: „Hong Chou is only a hair grows in experience the short women, can ignore the general situation, only knows that did not have the man, can only hate these to kill his bastard. Today has not made several jin (0.5 kg) white arsenic to pour into the pot, but knows that cannot kill by poison you.” 被当今天子称名道姓的女子冷笑道:“洪绸只是个头发长见识短的妇道人家,顾不得大局,只知道没了男人,就只能去怨恨那些害死他的王八蛋。今天之所以没弄几斤砒霜倒入锅中,只是知道毒不死你而已。” Emperor takes back the line of sight, in the mist is passing the stock not greasy fragrance, tired one day later, eats that more than ten chopsticks, only thought that the warm stomach is comfortable, regarding the angry words and hate of woman, thinks little, said in a soft voice: „Jiaodong Prince Zhao Sui told him several words, We made him lose all military authorities.” 皇帝收回视线,雾气中透着股并不腻人的香味,劳累一天之后,吃上那十几筷子,只觉得暖胃舒服,对于妇人的气话和怨恨,不以为意,轻声说道:“胶东王赵睢跟他说了几句话,朕就让他丢了所有军权。” woman laughs mournfully, „you are now Son of Heaven, matter that you do not dare to handle?” 女子凄然大笑,“你是当今天子,还有你不敢做的事情？” Emperor sprinkles however says with a smile: „You looked at Us high, in the world undoable matter were many, We do not dare to move Xu Xiao, under the Xu Xiao son arrived at the eye to hide, We must endure.” 皇帝洒然笑道:“你高看朕了,天底下不能做的事情多了去,朕就不敢动徐骁,徐骁的儿子到了眼皮子底下,朕还是得忍着。” She sneers saying: „Person who sits dragon chair, feels all right with a child fights the heart to fight the strength.” 她冷笑道:“坐龙椅的人,也好意思跟一个孩子斗心斗力。” Emperor puts out a hand the steam that wielded to head on, side said: „We am a child time, but in the same old way is also with trepidation, clamps the tail to cultivate the behavior. Tai'an City these elegant scholarses complained what Capital City did not occupy easily, We have found it ridiculous, because the world only imperial palace was not easiest. What the officials think is lives is good, inside the imperial palace, is thinking can live. Before We ascend the throne, telling oneself must make later oneself all children do not cross is like their father sovereigns, after may really become Emperor, knows when the manpower has is poor, Son of Heaven Son of Heaven, after all ordinary people, cannot be unconventional. Each family have the problem, We am the household head, Xu Xiao am, your Hong Chou is also half, manages this restaurant, some resentful, for example you purchase the best mutton conscientiously, the best bottom of the pot, the best seasoning, confessed the reasonable price, one cent one point of goods, but after the customer definitely ate, thought that your family's quick-boiled mutton actually that matter, the back finger/refers uncertain must scold several this young married woman hearts to be really black, or on was leads to the Tai'an City post road the condition, causing you to be out of stock on hand, when has to go out of business, must scold you not. Sincere, why other restaurant is open for business daily, do your 99 halls work as Sir oneself? How many bad soul talk difficult insurance not saying that feeling for others is the benevolence, the truth is so, may be the valuable major principle, is not just because its easy did say the difficult line? Moreover the world's most punctures the person on number these truth, many people are not willing to listen, because you said that others cannot achieve, especially tormenting the mind flexure lung. We also after Emperor, approves vermilion passed/lived so many years to accumulate compared with beginning of winter that heavy snow also many frank admonition memorials to the throne, fully realizes in the taste.” 皇帝伸手挥了挥扑面而来的热气,侧头说道:“朕还是孩子的时候,可也照样是要提心吊胆,夹尾巴做人。太安城那些文人雅士都诉苦说什么京城居不易,朕一直觉得好笑,因为天下唯独皇宫最不易。臣子们想的是活得好不好,皇宫里头,是想着能不能活。朕登基之前,告诉自己要让以后自己的所有孩子不要过得跟他们父皇一样,可真当上皇帝以后,才知道人力有穷时,天子天子,终归还是凡夫俗子,也不能免俗。家家有本难念的经,朕是一家之主,徐骁是,你洪绸也算半个,操持这个饭馆,想必也有许多愤懑,比如你兢兢业业购置最好的羊肉,最好的锅底,最好的调料,自认价钱公道,一分钱一分货,可顾客肯定吃多了以后,就觉得你家的涮羊肉其实就那么回事,背后指不定还要骂几句这婆娘心真黑,要不就是通往太安城的驿道出了状况,导致你手头缺货,不得不歇业时,更要骂你不厚道,凭什么别家饭馆日日开张,就你九九馆把自己当大爷？难保不会撂下几句糟心话,将心比心便是佛心,道理是如此,可之所以是可贵的大道理,不正是因为它的易说难行吗？而且天底下就数这些个道理最刺人,很多人不愿意听的,因为你说了,别人做不到,就尤为挠心挠肺。朕也是当了皇帝后,批朱过那么多年累积下来比立冬那场大雪还多的诤言奏章,才深知个中滋味。” Emperor has not turned the head to look at the woman complexion, said: „Zhao Zhi has no speech woman, knows that you were unhappy she to handle affairs in the past, my time, did not have other meaning, only wants officially informs one for her and you, she did is not right, but then did again one time, will choose. But her heart knew perfectly well the wrong thing with Us but is the same, will be uncomfortable. The person non- vegetation, will have the compassion, We said these, does not make you forgive Zhao Zhi, good such as to see initially. Her these years in the palace, the bronze mirror, were you delivered her as in the past that , she remembered clearly, eight points of money.” 皇帝没有转头去看女子脸色,自顾自说道:“赵稚没什么说得上话的女子,又知道你不喜她当年行事,朕这次来,没有别的意思,只想替她与你知会一声,她那么做是不对,可回头再做一次,还是会那么选择。可她心底还是跟朕明知错事而为之一样,会难受。人非草木,都会有恻隐之心,朕说这些,不是让你原谅赵稚,好如初见。她这些年在宫中,所用铜镜,依旧是你当年送她那一柄,她记得清清楚楚,八分银子。” When this diligent and thrifty and safeguards one's heritage by the diligence has Emperor that the technique is famous to stand up, moves toward the threshold smiles, stops the footsteps, „We must acknowledge a matter, We envied Xu Xiao to be able with previous emperor to have a pleasant chat the arm very much in the past, even before the point of death, still did not forget to leave behind the will, Xu Xiao must kill early, favored the royal government stabilizing, furthermore he good to be seeing Xu Xiao under sooner, if really had Yin deep Fengtu, good to continue to go on a punitive expedition against in the netherworld together, had the Xu Xiao assistance, certainly can laugh at the Yama, otherwise without this meritorious luck, he will not be relieved. But if the Xu Xiao son grown up, must favor. What a pity, old man just before the end two matters, my , when son cannot achieve.” 这位以勤政勤俭和守业有术著称的皇帝站起身,走向门槛时笑了笑,停下脚步,“朕要承认一件事,朕很嫉妒徐骁当年能跟先帝把臂言欢,甚至临死前仍然不忘留下遗嘱,徐骁必须早杀,一则利于朝廷安定,再则他好早些在下边见着徐骁,如果真有阴冥酆都,也好一起在阴间继续征伐,有徐骁辅佐,一定可以笑话阎罗不阎罗,否则没有这名功勋福将,他不安心。但徐骁的儿子若是长大成人,一定要厚待。可惜了,老头子临终两件事,朕这个当儿子的都没能做到。” Goes out of the restaurant, Emperor has not ridden into the carriage eagerly, goes slowly in the freezing riverside of bone-chilling wind, on the river surface has the stubbornly disobedient young child to cut through ice to seize the fish at the back of the parents urging, Imperial Palace retinue from does not dare to be close, but follows by far, only then Liu Gaoshi walks beyond now Son of Heaven five. 走出饭馆,皇帝没有急于坐入马车,缓行在寒风刺骨的冰冻河边,河面上有许多顽劣稚童背着爹娘叮嘱在凿冰捉鱼,大内扈从都不敢接近,只是远远跟随,只有柳蒿师走在当今天子五步以外。 Emperor spoke thoughtlessly saying: „willow master, does the Liu juniors who are likely to mature to be escorted to Capital City, does not need to be worried.” 皇帝随口说道:“柳师,一干有望成才的柳氏子弟都已经被送往京城,无须担心。” Since had been politely called Master, the old Heavenly Phenomenon Boundary expert has not dragged in lots of people to thank for kindness, was only layer on layer/heavily un one. 既然已经被尊称为师,年迈的天象境高手也就没有如何兴师动众去谢恩,只是重重嗯了一声。 Emperor stopping stands in the riverside, holds the hand to breathe as when warming the hands, thought aloud: „Xu Xiao, if your son dies before you, We bestow a you out-and-out beautiful posthumous name. But if dies before you, slaughtering the innocent posthumous name is severe, We give you such a deserving wicked posthumous name.” 皇帝停脚站在河边,捧手呵气,自言自语道:“徐骁,要是你儿子死在你前头,朕就赐你一个不折不扣的美谥。可若是死在你前头,杀戮无辜谥厉,朕就送给你这么一个当之无愧的恶谥。” - -- The grass dry eagle eye disease, the snow horse's hoof is completely light. 草枯鹰眼疾,雪尽马蹄轻。 On the post road two harness the ticket fast to go south, in the sky has mystical Pale Luan to puncture the clouds. 驿路上两驾马车飞速南下,天空中有一头神异青白鸾刺破云霄。 What gone is that Higher Yin Academy, the time will take care of the matter, does not pick, good double-hour. Xu Fengnian wants to build another Guangling spring snow building Wutong Courtyard wholeheartedly, lacked her, although cannot say that is unable to revolve, but oneself manages a household knows the oil salt to be expensive, furthermore Xu Fengnian does not hope woman that likes to hug the white cat, is treated disdainfully in Higher Yin Academy. Xu Fengnian sits with Qing Niao at this time back to back, appreciates along the way the scenery, the person ready dead fifth heavenly stem youngster disposition, at high speed, two horse-drawn vehicles keep pace on the broad post road, Qing Niao always gives the bystander the unreasonable representation, but once was admitted by her naturally, it may be said that is with good intention bone to inter the body, gave a hand signal with the youngster, the fifth heavenly stem cracked into a smile, two people jumped to exchange the carriage, Xu Fengnian moved the position slightly, was sideways to sit in the youngster behind. 去的是那座上阴学宫,瓜熟蒂落,再不摘,就过了好时辰。徐凤年一心想要将梧桐院打造成另一座广陵春雪楼,缺了她虽然称不上无法运转,但自己当家才知油盐贵,再者徐凤年也不希望那名喜好抱白猫的女子,在上阴学宫遭人白眼。徐凤年此时跟青鸟背靠背而坐,一路欣赏沿途风景,死士戊少年心性,快马加鞭,两架马车在宽阔驿路上并驾齐驱,青鸟总给外人不近人情的表象,可一旦被她自然而然接纳,可谓善解人意入骨,跟少年做了个手势,戊咧嘴一笑,两人跃起互换马车,徐凤年略微挪了挪位置,侧身坐在少年身后。 The youngster fifth heavenly stem starts to speak but hesitates, wielding the whip is not so also smooth, Xu Fengnian smiles to ask: „Had the words to say.” 少年戊欲言又止,挥鞭也就不那么顺畅,徐凤年笑问道:“有话就说。” Some Lian Famous metropolis few young sounds have not asked: „Young master, I do not like in the compartment that purple clothes young married woman, hitting the mind is repugnant.” 连姓名都不曾有的少年轻声问道:“公子,我不喜欢车厢里那紫衣婆娘,打心眼讨厌呐。” Xu Fengnian asked curiously: „Why?” 徐凤年好奇问道:“为何？” The youngster fifth heavenly stem itself/Ben is the nimble and efficient person, since opens mouth, spills the beans, complained: „This young married woman, is not a female bandit of trivial hill top, why to look angrily and fiercely to be unreasonable before the young master, conversion is I, trampled the carriage early. It is not content, even if she you do business with the young master, that was still she took the huge advantage, how to become the huge character to your here on the contrary, doing her was empress empress. Young master, was not I says you, cannot favor to the woman, said again, she also had no attractively, I have taken a look at several, without seeing her was the buttocks curls upwards the chest to be big, was passable on a cheek, but who the young master you were, was indomitable spirit, except that in the world you who dares to kill the Emperor old man son, Young master, you said that was?” 少年戊本就是爽利人,既然张了嘴,也就竹筒倒豆子,抱怨道:“这婆娘谁啊,不就是一屁大小山头的女匪嘛,凭啥在公子面前横眉瞪眼耍横,换成是我,早一脚踹下马车了。一点都不知足,就算她是跟公子你做买卖,那也是她占了天大便宜,怎么到你这儿反倒成了天大人物了,搞得她是皇后娘娘似的。公子啊,不是我说你,对女人就不能这么宠,再说了,她也没啥好看的,我瞅过几眼,也没见她是屁股翘了还是胸脯大了,也就一张脸蛋说得过去,可公子你又是什么人,顶天立地,天底下除了你谁敢去杀皇帝老儿的儿子,公子,你说是不是？” Xu Fengnian laughs, „who your flattering time is studies, in a complete mess.” 徐凤年哈哈大笑,“你这拍马屁功夫是和谁学来的,一塌糊涂。” The youngster fifth heavenly stem turns the head a face complaint, „young master, I said properly!” 少年戊转头一脸怨念,“公子,我说正经的！” Xu Fengnian collects the most happy expression, narrows the eye to look to the distant place, what a pity without snowing , there would be no that snowflake in a big way such as the beautiful scene of hand, the smile said in a soft voice: „Actually is not only you, no one will like her such woman.” 徐凤年敛去大半笑意,眯眼望向远方,可惜没有下雪,也就没有那雪花大如手的美景了,轻声微笑道:“其实不光是你,也没有谁会喜欢她这么个娘们。” The youngster fifth heavenly stem wields the horsewhip, „right, how does the young master you follow her everywhere? Should not really like on her, I must say that conscience words, the young master your caught sight of something and took fright, is not worthwhile!” 少年戊一挥马鞭,“对啊,那公子你咋就处处顺着她？该不会是真喜欢上她了吧,那我可得说句良心话,公子你这回岔眼了,不值当！” Xu Fengnian did not fear that in compartment woman whether loses one's temper, the head depends on the car(riage) wall, „before last year, whole world few has also liked me personally. This has same problem.” 徐凤年也不怕车厢内女子是否动怒,脑袋靠着车壁,“去年之前,全天下也没有几个人喜欢过我。这算是同病相怜。” A youngster fifth heavenly stem ignorant expression, knows obviously the young master said a truth, but did not understand, was only one, very accepted reluctantly. 少年戊一副懵懂表情,明明知道公子说了个道理,可就是不理解,只是哦了一声,十分勉强地接受。 Xu Fengnian plays to say with a smile: „Many people and things, are pregnant with woman are in October same, must slowly, anxiously.” 徐凤年玩笑道:“很多人和事情,就跟女子怀胎十月一样,得慢慢等,急不来。” The youngster fifth heavenly stem hehe said with a smile: „Young master, if made that woman big belly, then the racket the buttocks walked away, vented spleen.” 少年戊嘿嘿笑道:“公子要是让那娘们大了肚子,然后拍拍屁股一走了之,就解气了。” Xu Fengnian patted a head of youngster with the Beiliang scabbard, „acts recklessly, she is the female demon of Profundity Indicating boundary.” 徐凤年拿北凉刀鞘拍了一下少年的脑袋,“不知死活,她可是指玄境的女魔头。” Xu Fengnian somewhat wonders, the Huishan mountain in compartment Lord unexpectedly unprecedented has not lost one's temper, even makes noise under presents. 徐凤年有些纳闷,车厢内的徽山山主竟然破天荒没有动怒,甚至连出声都欠奉。 In the car(riage), purple clothes woman to the mirror from the photo, is silent. 车内,紫衣女子对镜自照,寂静无声。 Like sound of water ice lower pharynx. 如同水声冰下咽。
