Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 54
In the Yuhua Palace, the drapes and curtains reach the ground, and the interior decoration is elegant and simple. The fragrance of potted flowers and plants outside the palace sneaks in with the wind, and the octagonal glazed palace lanterns engraved with dragon patterns and phoenix seals emit orange halos, projecting The jewels and jade embedded on the beams and pillars are brilliant and shining.

Before the boxy table, Su Zijin and Wei Xiangge sat together. The two of them wore a long red dress embroidered with flowing light and a blue and white cloud pattern skirt. On the table were all kinds of dishes, Delicacy, a few court ladies in the distance stood with their heads down, their expressions peaceful.

"Waiting for me?"

Under the retinue of several court ladies and eunuchs, the young man dressed in a bright yellow princely crown, tall and straight, with a heavy air of nobility, stepped over the threshold of the palace, with a smile on his face, looking at Su Zijin and Wei. The second daughter of Xiangge.

Walking to the side, just after taking a seat, before picking up the chopsticks, Su Zijin's doting tone said angrily, "I haven't washed my hands yet."

Su Zhao was stunned for a moment, smiled to himself, and said, "Forgot."

At this time, Shao Yao smiled and instructed the maid to bring a copper basin filled with clean water, with a towel on the side of the basin.

"Your Majesty..."

The maid said timidly.

Su Zhao nodded, stretched out his hand to wash it, and wiped it slowly.

"Why are you so busy today?" Su Zijin looked at Su Zhao with concern and asked softly.

Wei Xiangge at the side also turned his bright and clear eyes to Su Zhao when he heard the words.

"Today I discussed with Chen Qing some court matters, and the court will meet in the future, and some things must be settled in advance." Su Zhao sat aside, explaining, and did not shy away from Su Zijin.

His elder sister is not just a vase who only knows how to be beautiful and beautiful. She was born in a princely family, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes. She is also not a novice who knows nothing about the court situation.

Su Zijin said in a clear voice: "I know Brother Zhao has the heart to work hard to govern, but governing a big country is like cooking a small fish. You should not rush it, and you must take care of your health. The day before yesterday, I heard that it was until midnight. The lights in the hall are always bright, and I don’t know how to take care of myself like this, and if things go on like this, my body won’t be able to bear it.”

Su Zhao nodded, and explained: "I have practiced martial arts, and I am full of energy, so I don't get in the way."

After Yuan Bin was removed, Su Zhao basically read and wrote materials at night and stayed up all night. If he was mentally tired, he would adjust his breath and meditate.

Su Zijin sometimes went to Ganlu Hall to ask about her daily life, so she naturally understood some situations, and when she felt distressed, she tried to persuade her.

Apparently, Su Zijin didn't know that his younger brother had the tendency to evolve into steel.

Su Zhao picked up the chopsticks, looked at Wei Xiangge with a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "Let's eat, Xiangge must be very hungry."

Wei Xiangge was picking up a piece of tea, looking at his lips and passing it, when he heard the words, he raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and seemed to respond in sympathy.

After all, one cannot indica before reaching the golden elixir, and as a warrior, only by eating five grains can one accumulate the power of vitality and blood.

Seeing this, Su Zijin couldn't help but smile, and said no more, "It's just as long as you have a sense of proportion."

Su Zhao picked up the chopsticks, picked up the perch pieces, put them into Wei Xiangge's bowl, and said softly, "Xiangge, try this fish. It's a new product from Hongjiang this year. I heard that Wei people like to eat fish the most. , the perch is delicious, and this soup nourishes the blood, you can drink this soup in a while."

As she said that, she glanced at the pattern on the front of the red skirt, but it turned out to be a hibiscus woven with red thread, blooming proudly, and the folds of the clothes did not seem to be too obvious.

Wei Xiangge's eyes drooped slightly, and he said in a voice like a mosquito, "Thank you, Su Zhao, I'll just come by myself."

Su Zijin paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand, as if she had changed direction, silently picked up a bamboo shoot, and ate with small bites of the rice in the bowl.

The people of Hunan and Chu naturally also love fish.

"Sister, you should also eat more vegetables." Su Zhao picked up spinach and bracken and put them in Su Zijin's bowl.

Su Zijin: "???"

Su Zhao met Su Zijin's complex gaze, and said softly, "Eat more vegetables, it will help you grow taller."

According to the metric system of later generations, according to Su Zhao's visual inspection, Wei Xiangge is about 1.7 meters five, with a slender and handsome figure, only slightly inferior to his current self, while his sister Su Zijin is It is the inheritance of the petite and exquisite style of southern girls, only 1.6 meters long.

However, the two of them are both twenty-eight years old now, and there is still room for them to grow taller.

Following the etiquette of not talking when eating and not talking when sleeping, the three of them finished their dinner, rinsed their mouths and drank tea.

At this time, Shaoyao and several maids presented the game to the chess field, and said with a smile: "Princess, Miss Wei, do you still want to play a game?"

In this era, there is no entertainment, only piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. The second daughter recently played Go for entertainment. Not only Su Zijin, but also Shao Yao has good chess skills.

Su Zijin said with a smile: "Xiangge's chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently. I can't play Xiangge anymore. Brother Zhao, why don't you come here."

Su Zhao put down the teacup and said, "I don't like to play Go, why not play chess?"

"Chess?" Wei Xiangge asked, her eyes shining, she has been a little obsessed with this kind of chess game recently, and always feels that there is a kind of golden horse and iron horse, leading the army to conquer.

In this world, there is no chess. Compared with the layout of Go, chess is more like war.

Su Zhao smiled. In fact, compared to chess, he wanted to play the game of fighting the landlord with the three of them more than playing chess. But think about it, if this kind of gambling game spreads, Gongqing will probably be terrified.

And leaked the national policy...

Moreover, with his reputation in the way, it is estimated that he does not look like a gentleman, indulges in gambling, is dissolute... These rumors have all come out.

In this era, the requirements for the conduct of the holy king can be described as strict. In the previous generation, there were three winds and ten evils. Dancing in the court, indulging in drinking and singing, this is a witch wind, greedy for property, obsessed with beauty, and endless hunting are lewd winds.

Playing Go... These elegant tastes, in this era, once indulged, will also cause criticism.

"Shaoyao, go get a piece of cardboard and a red and black brush."

At this time, it is definitely too late to rush to make the chess pieces, but it is okay to draw the chess grid first, and cut it into a circle with cardboard.

Not long after, Shao Yao hurriedly ordered the eunuch to take the cardboard.

Su Zhao’s parallel fingers are like knives, cut at three to seven, and this is where the mystery of mana lies. It can be soft or steel. Not long after, 32 round cardboards appeared on the side, and they were written on the car one by one with red and black pens. The horse cannon generals will be soldiers.

Su Zijin and Wei Xiangge were so confused by this scene, they looked at each other and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then, on another cardboard, Su Zhao drew crisscross, neat and square chessboards with a brush.

"Okay." Su Zhao put the chessboard on the Go chessboard, and said with a light smile, "Horses go in the sun, elephants go in fields, carts go straight, cannons over mountains. Xiangge, can you see some tricks?"

As he spoke, he set up the chess pieces and explained the rules of chess.

Wei Xiangge's eyes sparkled, and he said pleasantly, "It really looks like two armies fighting each other. How did you come up with it? It's fun."

Said, swinging the chess piece, this woman is very savvy, picked up the red cannon, put it behind the elephant, set up the cannon, on the forehead as clear as jade, a little cinnabar was as bright as fire.

Su Zhao smiled and jumped off the horse.

The two played against each other.

　All the foreheads in this book, except the forehead, do not read out, they are all function words and have no sound.

It's just a kind of pause, or the character's psychological pause when speaking.

I just tried to delete it and try another expression, but I found that I couldn't express the dialogue effect I wanted.

It can only be said that the presentation of words has boundaries in terms of the severity and tone of speech.

Everyone who watches TV dramas will know to what extent dubbing has saved acting skills, the representative character Yang Tianbao.

Bian Jiang's dubbing is the acting skills that have saved many traffic stars.

However, if it does cause misunderstandings by many people, it will be restrained later and enriched with other description methods.
