Humph! Xu Hui looked at her younger brother and snorted heavily, and she was angry, but because of the princess, she was not as good as her face.

Xu Qilin lowered his head, his eyes turned around, and finally grinned, and said, "Sister, I know I'm wrong. Don't be angry. If you want to hit you, just hit you, I won't scream the pain."

When Xu Hui shouted out this time, his heart couldn't help but feel soft.

Speaking of which, Xu Hui has the kind of indifferent and uncontested nature. If her parents had not died early, she would not have needed to care about her future and she would have been suspicious of being arrogant because of her favor.

But she was still angry and scolded: "You still know what's wrong? I'm useless to make me work, but you didn't see anyone, which embarrasses my sister. You, you..."

Xu Qilin sighed secretly, saying that he was so cited and deeply loved, how could he not know Xu Hui’s love and expectations for his younger brother?

But the path Xu Hui had painstakingly designed for him was not what he wanted. And if Xu Hui had to understand and change, he had to encourage his tongue and communicate.

"Sister, please listen to my explanation. Although this idea is immature, it is my heartfelt words." Xu Qilin raised his head, with a sincere and pleading look on his face.

Xu Hui listened to her younger brother's begging, looked at her younger brother's expression, her face calmed down, waved her hand, and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Xu Qilin bowed again and sat upright on the couch next to him. Alas, it feels so uncomfortable!

You should know that there were no chairs or high-foot furniture such as tables in the early Tang Dynasty. The bed was a flat and short elevated square table.

When sitting upright, you are kneeling down on your knees and pressing your calves and ankles, which is very similar to the posture of an islander.

Of course, this posture was learned by the islanders from China and have always been preserved and passed on.

This kind of kneeling, or sitting in a stern manner, was the most solemn and dignified sitting position at that time. In formal occasions, I could only sit so uncomfortable.

Otherwise, why did Xu Qilin move his arms and legs outside, just to last longer so that he can last longer so that he can feel dizzy due to blood vessel compression before he finished speaking.

After Xu Qilin sat down, he spoke, "Sister, how can I not know your hard work? Isn't it for my future if I let you show your performance in front of His Majesty?"

"Just know." Xu Hui nodded, feeling a little relieved.

If the younger brother doesn't understand his sincere love and feels dissatisfied, Xu Hui, a sister, will be so sad.

Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "But I know I am stupid. I don't have the agility and talent of my brothers and sisters, and I can't write down the paper. Besides, my head is hurt and I have forgotten a lot of what I have learned and remembered. If Your Majesty wants to take the exam, I will inevitably make a fool of myself."

In order to emphasize the effect, Xu Qilin turned his face and pulled his hair to let the elder sister see the scars on the back of her head.

Xu Hui saw that the scar was more than two inches long, like an earthworm protruding behind the head, and the hair had just grown out, but it barely covered it.

Thinking of his younger brother's death, he was really worried about those days and kept sending people to visit and sending back messages. Xu Hui sighed softly, her face softer.

Xu Qilin was secretly happy and continued, "It's a trivial matter for me to make a fool of myself, but my brother and sister are very literary. Wouldn't it be a loss of reputation because of this? Even the Xu family's poet and book disciples will probably be covered with dust."

Xu Hui shook her head and Yingsheng said, "I'm too worried. Since Your Majesty has the intention of private exams, can it be known to outsiders whether it is successful or not?"

Whoever dares to spread the story in the palace is really tired of living. Since ancient times, the palace ban has been strict, not only for entering and leaving, but also for secrets of words and conversations.

Although Xu Qilin started to have a sore waist and knees, he still tried to maintain a sitting position. The lobbying has not been successful yet, so comrades still need to work hard!

"Sister, my brother's concerns are just one of them." Xu Qilin was a little dry and subconsciously licked his lower lips.

Xu Hui waved to the palace maid, and the palace maid immediately served tea with tactfulness... No, it was iced black plum paste.

Located in Chang'an, located in the Guanzhong Basin, the air circulation is poor and it is easy to form stuffy weather in summer.

There is a poem that says: All nations are like in a furnace, and a sentence vividly describes the general heat throughout the Tang Dynasty.

The royal family has special officials responsible for storing ice in winter and picking ice in summer according to explicit regulations; generally noble ministers often keep ice in their own houses, and the emperor often gives ice to ministers in summer.

At that time, there was also a market for selling ice in Chang'an, but due to the difficulty of collecting ice cubes, the ice sold on the summer market is often "priced to gold and jade".

Also, before the era of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, in northern China, not only did there be no tea in the restaurants on the streets, but even ordinary noble officials or ordinary people had no habit of drinking tea.

In the early Tang Dynasty society, dairy products were the most popular, followed by rice wine, and in summer, fruit drinks were the most common.

Drinking the iced black plum slurry, it was both quenching thirst and cool. Xu Qilin slightly adjusted his sitting position and continued, "Besides, is Qianniu ready for her? Your Majesty favors her sister, but it will be difficult to agree with the court's legal system. Instead, it is easy to feel dissatisfied with her sister and thinks that she is arrogant because of her favor."

After pausing, Xu Qilin said, "So, brothers think that it is better to do a great career that can be awarded an official position than to come for nothing."

The "Qianniu Guard" of the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the guards leading the imperial guards. There were only 274 people in total, and they followed the emperor closely.

Among them, the most advanced one is "Qianniu Preparation", and there are only twelve people in the lower rank of the sixth grade. Their responsibilities are to take turns to the emperor to get the imperial sword (Qianniu Kniu Kniu).

Generally speaking, Qianniu Bei’s promotion is also very fast and smooth. Basically, if you can become Qianniu Bei, you will never have to worry about wealth and honor in your whole life.

Therefore, it is very difficult to be a Qianniu Preparation, and the most important thing is to have a good father.

The prince's legitimate son, first- and second-rank official, prime minister, censor and other "important officials" and third-rank officials with third-rank officials...

Well, your father is qualified enough, your mother still has to be the real wife. Please come back if your wife gave birth to her.

Well, my father and mother are both very good and have met the standards. You are just a little boy between the ages of eleven and fourteen, so you are just qualified!

Due to the limited number of places, Qianniu still needs to pass the meridian, be able to know how to bow and horse, behave well and be upright and steady. In other words, it depends on the face and appearance. If you are crooked, don’t show your eyes and scare people!

He is not ugly, his parents are powerful, and he is a little bit of culture. He can finally choose to ride a horse and shoot archery. Then he can go to the public to get his work clothes, dress up for five or six people, and then check in to work.
