Chapter 92 The girls' reunion
"Ha, didn't you say you're called Xu Xiaolang?" Xincheng pointed at Sister with his little finger, mocking her for not remembering it.
"You can't shout in front of Xiao Zhao." Yizi defended her and immediately felt that this would easily mislead the girl. She didn't tell the occasion clearly like herself, and she was not used to calling whatever she wanted.
Thinking of this, Yizi took the initiative to admit his mistake and said, "Okay, I was wrong. I will say it again, Xu Xiaolang will definitely send us good things."
"Sure, certain." Xincheng nodded repeatedly, and licked his lips involuntarily. It was probably because he was thinking about the delicious food.
…………………
Although Xiao Zhao did not like the dullness and constraints in the palace and was more willing to be the king at home freely, she was still very happy and happy when she saw Yizi. After all, there were not many friends of her age.
As soon as we met, the giggling laughter continued. The three children held hands to say hello, and almost no time to answer every word you say, I said.
"Your Highness Xincheng is growing so fast!"
"Xiao Zhao, your clothes are so beautiful."
"Your Highness Jinyang, you have gained weight!"
"Sister Xiao Zhao, what are you loading in your car? It's delicious, but fun."
…………………
A Ke also has a maid, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and has worked in the Xu Mansion for many years. He is relatively diligent and honest.
After helping A Ke get out of the car, the maid was at a loss when she put her Qin on her back. This is the emperor's palace, and the two little girls are princesses with golden branches and jade leaves!
A Ke couldn't see it, and only heard giggling laughter, and the three little girls said that I was asking in a mess. She lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips and showed a slight smile.
She is more than one year younger than Xu Qilin. Although she is not old, she is really a child when she sees Xiao Zhao, Yizi and Xincheng. She can't help but want to laugh when she hears the child's childish words.
Ah! Xiao Zhao finally remembered his companions and hurriedly recommended to Aizi and Xincheng, "This is my sister, her name is A Ke, and she sings the most powerfully."
A Ke raised his head, listened to the direction of footsteps, and bowed: "The young lady has seen His Royal Highness the Princess."
Weizi looked at A Ke curiously, and couldn't help but reach out and shake it in front of her. Seeing that her eyes were not moving and she didn't blink, she confirmed that she was a blind girl and hurriedly said, "Get up quickly, Sister A Ke doesn't need to be polite."
Xincheng was more curious than Sister A. I opened my eyes and looked carefully. After a while, I said, "Sister A Ke can't see me. This is really bad."
A Ke smiled and said, "Although I can't see it, I can hear the sound of the new city princess is both beautiful and smart."
Hahaha, Xincheng smiled with a smile, stepped forward and grabbed A Ke's hand, and said, "Sister A Ke is beautiful too! I'll take you to the dressing house, which is my and A Sister's palace. Otherwise, would you live there too?"
A Ke smiled and knew that there would be arrangements for her residence, but it was not necessarily the little princess who had the final say.
The maid also forgot to salute His Highness the Princess. Seeing that A Ke had already made a move, she hurriedly followed and took care of him on the other side.
After walking a few steps in Xincheng, he stopped and ordered the palace servants, "You, move all the things in the car to the dressing building."
Yizi pulled Xiao Zhao and said, "You can live in a dressing building too. There are several palaces there, so you can sleep wherever you want."
Xiao Zhao was a little hesitant. She was going to live with her sister. But then she thought that her sister might always have to take the exam, so it would be more comfortable to live with the young masters.
"I should go to see my sister first to see if she has any arrangements?" Xiao Zhao said hesitantly: "She must know that I am coming, so you can't be rude!"
Yizi thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to see Xu Chongrong first. Xincheng and I will invite you to the dressing room. Xu Chongrong will not stop him."
Xiao Zhao nodded repeatedly, and then asked Xincheng and A Ke to go to Ajie's palace first. Then, she directed the palace servants to bring the gifts to Ajie, which could be delivered directly.
Xu Hui knew that the girl would be able to go to Jiucheng Palace today. She hadn't seen her for a long time, so she missed her very much, and was a little anxious to see her.
But her identity was there, so how could she be as free as the two little princesses, and she could go to the palace gate to wait. She was patient and waited in the palace, but she was unwilling to do other things and looked out from time to time.
Seeing the palace servants accompanying him, the little princess and the girl walked towards him holding hands, Xu Hui hurriedly got out of the hall, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"Sister--" Xiao Zhao easily opened the princess' hand, trotted forward, and shouted.
"Slow down, slow down, don't run." Xu Hui hurriedly reminded, quickly stepped down the steps and waited.
Giggled, Xiao Zhao threw herself into the arms of the sister with a crisp laugh. There was no such thing before. When we met again with a longing and family affection came from the heart.
Xu Hui also smiled happily, her body lowered slightly, hugged her younger sister's body, and looked close to her.
Xiao Zhao hugged Ajie and rubbed her face before leaving with her with a smile.
"It seems to have grown taller again." Xu Hui stood up straight, reached out to measure her hand, touched her face again, and smiled, "It seems that she has eaten well, and she has grown fat!"
Xiao Zhao laughed and said, "Sister is getting more and more beautiful, like a fairy."
Xu Hui touched the little sister's head and said with a smile: "It's okay for her sister to say this privately. If you want outsiders to hear it, you will be laughable."
"Xu Chongrong has indeed become-" Wei Zi couldn't think of a suitable word for describing it for a moment. He reached out and gestured for a moment before saying, "It's plump and rounder than before."
Xu Hui covered her mouth and laughed: "That's just getting fat, not slim!"
Weizi tilted her little head and thought for a while, and finally got the right words, "It should have been thin before, but now it is still slim."
Xu Hui and the little princess were already very familiar with each other, and they were no longer as polite as before. When they heard these a little childish but sincere words, they smiled even more happily.
The Xincheng and A Ke who came next attracted Xu Hui's attention.
Xiao Zhao ran a few steps, took A Ke's hand and introduced: "My sister, Xu Chongrong."
A Ke gave a ritual, "Minister A Ke has met the Queen Mother of Chongrong."
"Get up quickly, get up quickly." Xu Hui took a few steps forward, reached out to support him, looked at A Ke's gray eyes, and a look of pity flashed across his face.
Everyone entered the hall and sat down, and Yizi mentioned that she asked Xiao Zhao and A Ke to stay in the dressing room temporarily.
Xu Hui hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement. She wanted her younger sister to live here, but she thought that Xiao Zhao was invited by the princess after all, and she wanted to play with the two younger princesses. Deepening her relationship is also of great benefit to her younger sister.
"Oh, Xiao Zhao has brought so many gifts to his sister!" Looking at the box moved in by the palace servants, Xu Hui smiled and said, "Let me see what good things are they."
Xiao Zhao jumped off the bed, walked closer to her sister, reached out and pointed and said, "These are for food, these are for fun." As she said that, she opened two boxes and said with a smile: "These are two educational toys, sister must like them."
Xu Hui looked closely but didn't recognize it. The child's shape on it was very pleasing. She reached out to take it for a while and asked, "What is this? How to make you smart?"
Xiao Zhao reached out and introduced, "This is called Sixiwa. It needs to be inlaid and assembled, which can form several shapes." As she said that, she fiddled with her a few times, raised her up for her to see, and asked with a smile, "Sister, look."
Xu Hui looked at it and said, "These are two lying children."
Xiao Zhao turned the angle again and smiled, "What about now, has it changed?"
Xu Hui nodded and smiled, "This time they are two sitting children."
Sixi people were widely circulated. In the Tang Dynasty, there were copper Sixiwa, and then ceramic, wood, jade, porcelain, clay, etc. were also produced. In principle, it is a toy with inlay and assembled, which can be said to be the "ancestor" of Lego toys in later generations.
Xincheng was jealous and asked, "Sister Xiao Zhao, do I have this toy too?"
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao said naturally: "Are they still two, one porcelain and the other one wood."
Xincheng is relieved now, so if you have it, you don’t have to rush to ask for what Xu Hui is in your hands.
Xiao Zhao took another wooden toy and opened the lid to reveal several squares of different sizes inside. There were also painted paper on the squares, including Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others.
"This is called Huarong Road." Xiao Zhao introduced: "By moving the wooden blocks and moving Cao Cao to the exit below, it will be successful."
Xu Hui took it, fiddled with it for a few minutes and knew how to play it, but at first glance it felt like moving out the big square of Cao Cao, which was very difficult.
Xiao Zhao smiled and said, "I can play with these two toys. If my sister really can't think of them, I'll tell you again."
Xu Hui knew that it must be taught by the younger brother, but she still touched the younger sister's head and praised: "My younger sister is just smart. Let me try it first and then ask you for advice!"
Xiao Zhao ticked his head happily, and opened other boxes to introduce it to his sister, saying that he ate less and used more, fully taking into account his sister's needs.
Xu Hui didn't have to worry about eating and using food, but when she saw her brother and younger sister so considerate, she was very happy and frequently expressed her love for these gifts.
After seeing the gift, Xu Hui took out two ornaments prepared early, with neat tassels and gems flashing. She hung them on Xiao Zhao's neck in a doting way, and then gave the other one to A Ke, which was considered a meeting gift.
In response to A Ke's refusal, Xu Hui said politely: "My sister can't be by Xiao Zhao's side forever. As Yi Sister, A Ke has to worry more."
This was so close that A Ke couldn't refuse. Because Xu Hui admitted in disguise that she was Xiao Zhao's sister and was also considered a sister to Xu Hui, so it was not natural to give a small gift.
A Ke thanked Xu Hui, smiled shyly, and gently stroked the ornament on his neck with his fingers.
"Look, Xiao Zhao went to the dressing building and A Ke lived here." Xu Hui said with a smile: "You three are just having fun, but you have to neglect A Ke. Here, A Ke can chat with me and stroking the piano, and you won't be lonely."
The three little girls looked at each other and thought this arrangement was good. Although they were very pity and caring for A Ke, they were children and had a lot of fun and could not take care of them.
"Okay, you go to the dressing building to settle down and rest." Seeing that no one objected, Xu Hui decided to come down and said to the three little girls with a smile: "Remember, come to me for dinner tonight and welcome Xiao Zhao and A Ke."
"Let's go!" Xincheng jumped out first, pulled Xiao Zhao and walked out, saying as he walked: "I have several big puppets, all with names, and I sleep with me every night..."
Xiao Zhao stopped, greeted A Ke before leaving with the little princesses.
Xu Hui looked at the three little girls and left with a joke, turned around and enthusiastically placed A Ke, and pointed to the two palace servants to serve her.
"It's like being at home. Don't be afraid, and don't be polite." Xu Hui held A Ke's hand and sent her to the side hall where she was sleeping and resting, comforting her with a kind face. "Don't think that there are many royal rules and taboos, and it is a serious crime to violate it. Look at Xiao Zhao, he has no status, and he is the same as you, so he is very relaxed."
A Ke listened quietly, pursing his lips and not talking much, but he also felt Xu Hui's kindness and concern.
"You two, if you dare to neglect Miss A Ke, I will definitely punish her severely." Xu Hui turned to the two palace ladies, and rarely saw the ground frost. "She is Xiao Zhao's sister and her true sister. You should treat her like serving me."
"How dare I neglect my noble people?" The two palace ladies were also clever and hurriedly bowed and said they didn't dare.
Xu Hui snorted, waved her hand, asked them to clean up by themselves, and then led A Ke to sit next to the soft chair, drinking the tea served, and talking casually.
Several palace servants moved the cages brought by A Ke in and placed them.
Seeing that the maid was still carrying a zither on her back, she looked so timid that she didn't know what to do, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to be nervous, just serve A Ke carefully. Put down the zither, don't you feel heavy when you keep it on your back?"
The maid obeyed the orders, put down the piano, removed the cloth cover outside, and placed it carefully on the table next to it.
Xu Hui took a casual look and saw that the guqin was different. Curiosity arose, she stood up and looked carefully, then pulled the strings with her fingers and asked, "A Ke, how do you have a different shape in this guqin?"
The guqin, known as qin and Yaoqin in ancient times, initially had five strings, corresponding to the five sounds of "Gongshangjiao Zhengyu", and at the same time was in line with the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth.
According to legend, King Wen of Zhou added one string, which was called Wenxian; King Wu of Zhou added one string, which was called Wuxian. The guqin then fixed the shape of the seven strings.
A Ke's piano was transformed by Zheng Tuantuan after being taught by Xu Qilin's seventh-scalar scale and was transformed by craftsmen. It was longer than the piano at that time, with a wider scale and range.
A Ke explained: "This is a restructured guqin, which has two more sounds than 'Gong Shang Jiao Zheng Yu' and has a wider range."
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment and asked, "But is the change of entanglement and change of palace?"
The earliest recorded seven rank names is "Huainanzi? Astronomy" written by Liu An, the King of Huainan of the Western Han Dynasty and his disciples. It is called "change" and "change palace" in "Mandarin? Zhou Yu".
