After the whole family came out to worship the Buddha, the old lady was not less interested, and when she returned all the way back through the canal, she instructed the steward to hire a painting boat.

On the riverside, Xu Hao, who had been resolute all the way, ushered in the sequelae, his legs were sore, and he was not in high spirits because of exhaustion. While the others watched with great interest, he could only stand by the river and face the breeze.

Xiao knew that his son might be tired, but it was not good to let the child rest immediately in public, so he had no choice but to secretly order Qiu Xiang and Noble to send a food box and a pot of tea.

Xu Hao ate tea and used two mille-feuille cakes, and his spirit was immediately lifted, and he secretly said that it was the body of a young man, even if he used to play football from time to time, but he was hollowed out by the wine and aged, and his physical condition has indeed deteriorated.

Nothing can be happier than regaining youth, Xu Hao, who was secretly happy, got on the boat with the whole family, and the old lady ordered the boat lady to sail the boat to the middle of the river, and the microwave rippled, and from time to time staggered with the pleasure boat playing musical instruments.

The maids sent lunch, and boiled some Lao Jun tea to eat, after eating, the old lady ordered to put on the box full of fresh fruits and all kinds of pastries, and even the lunch was sent from home, otherwise the food would have to be rancid in such a hot day.

"Pour wine, but not excessively." The old lady said with a smile, her eyes kept looking into the distance.

The eldest lady Wang hurriedly assigned the maids to put on the wine utensils, and said to the personal girl: "You go up and order Wen'er and a few of them to come down." ”

Xu Hao has been sitting in the cabin in the middle of the painting boat with his female dependents due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, and when he is bored, he admires the carved windows around him and some landscape pictures hanging on the bulkhead.

The eldest sister Xu Qinglian's expression was a little nervous, and Hongye blinked her eyes and whispered, "What do you want to test?" Just such a table is not enough for us sisters to be female celebrities together. ”

"I can't guess either." Xu Qinglian shook her head slightly.

But Xu Hao became indifferent, anyway, in the eyes of the old lady, it was already like that, the overlord ate the scales, and sank to the end.

Just when the other sisters were also worried about themselves, the three brothers Xu Wen, Xu Ji and Xu Song came downstairs with a smile, and Xu Wen said with a smile: "There is an official ship sailing over, and I don't know whose family it is." ”

As soon as these words came out, I saw the old lady and said, "Quick, quickly tell the boatman to stop the boat." ”

"Why?" Xu Wen asked puzzled.

"Huh." The old lady smiled and said, "That's our boat, and there are distinguished guests on board." ”

"Our ship? Could it be Jingqin and Jingchang? Aren't they training these days? Xu Wen said suspiciously.

The old lady pointed to a wooden stool in front of him, and said impatiently: "You sit down for me, and you are not allowed to speak." And Ji'er and Hao'er, the two of you are sitting next to your grandmother, pay attention to your words, don't talk nonsense, and talk nonsense. ”

A trace of concern and surprise flashed in Xiao's eyes, and he motioned for Xu Hao to get up and go over, and the third wife next to her, Liu, asked in surprise, "What's going on?" Who's on board? ”

"Probably a few gentlemen from the country." Xiao guessed out of thin air, and as soon as these words came out, she was already nervous and trembling.

"Oh." Liu felt that the second sister-in-law's guess was reasonable, nodded, and then a wave of injustice came to his heart, regardless of the old lady's presence, and said coldly: "Although Song'er is young, he is already fourteen years old, why doesn't his mother give him a chance?" ”

I don't want the old lady to smile and wave his hand and smile: "Song'er is not suitable, he, he has to wait a few years." Hehe, the big guys are all sitting peacefully, and no one is allowed to make a fuss. ”

Being said by the old lady made the big guy feel more and more weird, Xu Hao followed everyone's eyes and watched an official ship about the size of the painting boat slowly sailing. The so-called official ship is that there are several Ming battle flags in the bow and stern, and the rest of the hull structure is almost the same as the painting boat, which is obviously also used to enjoy the scenery.

Later, the two boats walked side by side on the river, compared to the Xu family's painting boat, which was overcrowded inside and outside, except for a few boatmen and soldiers on the official boat, there was no one to be seen, and even the windows were covered with beaded curtains.

Xu Hao, like everyone else, was guessing the identity of the people in the boat, and suddenly Xu Hao was "shocked", and shouted in his heart, could it be that Xu Da and Zhu Yuanzhang, the two big brothers of the Ming Dynasty, were sitting on the boat?

It is very likely that Xu Hao's careful liver is pounding, and Zhu Yuanzhang is expected to come to visit his old friend for many years, as the emperor, he has to send someone to notify him in advance, so that the second grandfather Xu Da will pull him to swim in the lake and take care of his own children by the way.

No, Xu Hao thinks it's unlikely, is it necessary to make such a big battle? That's the iron-blooded emperor Zhu Yuanzhang who is suspicious by nature! Xu Danai is a generation of famous generals who are almost exhausted in marching and fighting, how can he pull the emperor to play the game of micro-service private interviews just for a few nephews? That's.

In this way, under Xu Hao's gains and losses, and thinking wildly, the old lady took a note sent from the ship, unfolded it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Listen to the three of you, take spring as the theme, and each of you will improvise a poem." Well, a stick of incense for a limited time. ”

The brothers Xu Wen and Xu Ji glanced at each other, even though they were still confused, they could see that the old lady attached great importance to the distinguished guest next door, and immediately lowered her head and thought about it.

Their mother, Wang, was happy at first, and then she was very nervous, because the theme of spring characters is too simple, but precisely because the title is simple and ordinary, there are too many excellent works throughout the ages, so it is difficult to make an extraordinary masterpiece.

Xiao Shi became more and more convinced of his guess, and his hands were clenched nervously, staring at his son without blinking.

Liu looked at this scene with some jealousy, sighed slightly, raised his hand and stroked his son's head, as for the others, they were all engrossed, and the big guys all noticed something unusual from the old lady's expression.

Only Xu Hao calmed down, but in fact there was no way, composing poetry is his weakness, to say that it is okay to come to a limerick poem without rhyming at will, but it is no less difficult to make a neat poem than for the national football team to rush out of Asia.

Anyway, it couldn't be done left and right, Xu Hao began to look at the boat opposite through the hollow window, the bead curtain was deep, and a faint figure loomed.

"The theme of spring is not a girl, it's really idle." The bored Xu Hao slandered in his heart, and basically ruled out the possibility of the giant squatting in the boat, if it was really Zhu Yuanzhang, at least he could be "governed" or "warned", right? That's in line with his old man's identity.

With the inadvertent passage of time, Xu Wen's eyes lit up and said, "There is." ”

Wang hurriedly said, "Say it quickly." ”

Xu Wen glanced at the two brothers with some pride, and said loudly: "The branches of the spring birds are endless, and the spring flowers are all over the place." In order to find the letter and spread the sound of spring, it makes spring love sorrowful everywhere. ”

"Not bad, not bad." The old lady nodded in approval, and Wang's eyebrows immediately danced with joy.

Xu Hao not only looked impressed by the eldest brother, but also stared at the second sister Xu Cuitao who was shaking the fan with a puzzled expression, and whispered to her sister Xu Qinglian: "Hmph, it seems that the second sister used lip language to help cheat just now." ”

Xu Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "I don't know if Hao'er has come up with it, or I will make a song, and you can also learn Cui Tao, okay?" ”

"Uh-huh." Momiji nodded excitedly, her face flushed.

Not to mention that the sisters started a dark box operation, here Xu Hao observed the second brother Xu Jilai, although he felt that the eldest brother's work was very good, but it should still be no match for Xu Ji, who studied poetry and books.

After a while, just when Wang was a little anxious, Xu Ji raised his head and smiled calmly, and said confidently:

"Spring urges people to travel here, and the mountains and rivers of Jinling are not worried.

The dark incense sandwich road leads to the bamboo forest, and the distant color of the floating light should be wild gulls.

Leaning on the stone to become the sunset, looking for flowers and returning to the state.

It is rumored that this night is thousands of people and months, and the clouds of smoke are left for guests. ”
