At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

Qi Yanzhou couldn't bear this gift, so he quickly avoided it. hurriedly said:

"If Tinghou is this, Yanzhou can have a place in the family. Thanks to Tinghou, he helped me at the eloquence meeting that day."

This time, Qi Feng was trapped in the ditch one after another in the government examination.

When he went out in the early morning, he heard from the concierge that Qi Feng had been drunk at Chunfeng Tower for two consecutive nights.

Without Yu Yanran always by her side to give advice, it would have been known to everyone in Linyuan that Qi Feng had a romantic reputation.

......

April 16th.

It was past midnight, and the sky was still foggy.

Si Yuandao finished playing a set of eight pieces of brocade in his courtyard. There were only one or two birds chirping on the branches, and it was still quiet outside the courtyard.

He took the sweat towel from Chang He and wiped his forehead. He asked, "Where are the children? They haven't gotten up yet?"

It shouldn't be, it would already be noisy at this time on weekdays.

Those studying are studying, those practicing martial arts are practicing martial arts, and there are also little greedy cats clamoring about what they want to eat in the morning and what they want to eat in the afternoon...

Chang He lowered his eyes and clenched his hands nervously into fists under his clothes. Guilty:

"I'm up, but we're all going out to play."

"I said I went fishing on Zhuangzi, a student from Taoyuan College, and returned home after sunset."

Who knows? I’m really nervous when I lie for the first time. Chang He is guilty. I’m sorry, sir.

Fortunately, Si Yuandao didn't pay attention to these details. He sighed deeply and his face was inevitably lonely.

Today is his fifty-first birthday.

Although it has been many years, it is inevitable to feel uncomfortable when one is alone at home.

Chang He rolled up the fabric of his sleeves with his fingers and said softly: "I heard that a troupe from the north has come to Linyuan Liyuan, and they can sing the authentic "Changban Slope"."

"Sir, would you like to go take a look?"

In the yard next door, Xie Mingcheng's whole body was almost pressed against the wall.

I thought silently in my heart: Go, go, go, agree quickly.

Si Yuandao stood there thinking for a long time and sighed deeply. Said: "Okay, let's go and have a look."

Separated by a wall, Xie Mingcheng immediately made various gestures, and Mr. Si agreed!

Xie Yuheng raised his index finger to signal his second brother to be quieter. After all, he had been in the military, so he might have noticed.

Until Si Yuandao and Chang He walked out of the door.

Only then did Suzaku fly back to report, "Chi chi chi chi chi." Mr. Si was deceived and left. You can start setting up.

Everyone sneaked out from the yard next door, carrying flowers and preparing vegetables, all performing their duties and becoming busy.

Suddenly, Chang He's loud voice came from outside the gate, "Sir, I watched the sky last night and it won't rain today."

"But pull it down quickly, it's just your three-legged cat kung fu stargazing skills. Humph, I don't believe it."

Si Yuandao gave Chang He a slightly disgusted look. When going from Shangjing to Jiangling, the boy watched the celestial phenomena frequently on the way.

He said it will be fine tomorrow, but it will rain heavily!

Chang He felt miserable and could only hope that Shicai's voice would remind all the young masters.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Si Yuandao walked to his yard.

When passing by a yard, a loquat rolled down the steps and stopped right at the feet of Si Yuandao.

Si Yuandao picked up the loquat with a puzzled expression.

In an instant, Xie Yuheng and the Suzaku in his arms looked at each other, and everything was silent.

Xie Yuheng threw the red bird towards Si Yuandao. After the small bird circled in the air for a few times, it happened to land on the loquat.

"Ok?"

Si Yuandao, who had not yet figured out where the loquat came from, looked at the red bird falling from the sky. He said in a deep voice: "Little guy, you are also a bird."

"Chi chi chi." That... is definitely not the case.

Xie Yuheng in the rockery behind, Xie Mingcheng in the tree, Xie Zhuqing lying in the flower bed, Xu Lu in the house...

Alas, they are humans, not birds.

After thinking about it, the little white bird nodded. It is a bird.

Si Yuandao tapped the bird's head with his finger and said, "In that case, just follow me and go to the opera."

Watching the little white sparrows pecking at the loquats, trying to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

The corners of the old man's lips curled up slightly, he was indeed a bird raised by his disciple, he understood human nature.

He returned to his courtyard to get an umbrella, changed into his favorite clothes, and even imitated the young men in the city, holding a folding fan in his hand.

Then he hurried out the door, as if he couldn't wait to go to the theater.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing how Master Si was dressing up, he probably wouldn't return it again.

That's natural.

Si Yuandao was in the opera house and watched all the plays that You Lian could sing, and it wasn't even dark yet.

The actors on the stage downstairs were babbling and dancing with their sleeves.

Si Yuandao blew the hot tea and looked at Chang He frowning in thought from the corner of his eye.

This silly boy's acting skills are worrisome.

Si Yuandao put down the tea cup and yawned. He said deliberately: "Chang He, I'm sleepy, why don't we..."

"How about we go shopping in the East Market!" Chang He immediately answered.

He is going to die outside today. If he jumps from the second floor, he will never let the adults go home early!

Si Yuandao chuckled, touched his goatee, and said, "Well... that's okay."

Suzaku turned over on Chang He's head and finished the ball. When did Mr. Si, an old fox, know this?

......

Until Xu Shi, night fell over Linyuan City. The master and servant then pushed open the door of Xie's Mansion. It was pitch dark inside with no lights in sight.

A trace of fire shot into the sky from the backyard, and with a final bang, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky.

Everyone walked out of the nearest courtyard holding lanterns and said in unison:

"The beauty of the mountains is endless, and the longevity of the father is also like the mountains."

Si Yuandao looked at a row of little guys looking at him with smiles. Behind them were fireworks, and the lanterns in the courtyard slowly lit up one by one.

Suddenly, he felt that the wind tonight was so charming that it blew sand into his eyes!

Xie Yuheng held the little tiger lantern and jumped to Si Yuandao's side in a rare childlike manner, saying: "Happy birthday, sir."

After getting along for nearly a year, Xie Yuheng basically guessed Si Yuandao's personal information.

For example: Master Si is the only one in his family.

If you invite people to your house for a birthday party openly and honestly, sir, you don't want to say that.

When he returns to the court one day, it is inevitable that there will be impeachment by the cynical censor, so it would be better for him to organize the planning.

Anyway, after all, he is still just a child.

Si Yuandao looked up at the sky, stroking his goatee, and pretended to be serious: "Well, you are serious, you are all good boys."

In fact, he blinked his eyes frantically to hold back the tears.

"Why are you still standing here, Boss? The food is already cold."

Zhao Zheng leaned against the wall, with one hand behind his head and a small jar of wine in his hand.

The harmonious and warm bubbles burst into pieces.
