"Breaking the lantern, giggle, giggle." When Yizi saw the riddle, she heard Xu Qilin tell the answer to the riddle, and couldn't stop laughing.

Xu Qilin laughed and said, "I have some riddles that are similar to this and are also very interesting. Do you want to tell them or not?"

His Majesty Li Er squinted his eyes before he could scold him, Yizi had already urged him repeatedly: "Say, say, I want to guess."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "I'll listen. It's a dog from a distance, but a dog from a close distance. He beats it and scolds it and leaves it, and he just pulls it and leaves. What's this?"

Well——Yizi tilted her head and thought about it, and stretched out her hand to scratch her face.

Giggled, Xincheng laughed and said with a crisp voice: "I know, it's a toy dog."

Alas, Xu Qilin looked at Xincheng in surprise and praised: "Xincheng is so smart. If you are a little short of it, you can guess it. Please note that the riddle says it is a dog, not a dog. If it is a dog, then Xincheng will guess it."

As he said that, he reached out to pick up two or three prizes and handed them to Xincheng, "Here, reward you."

Although Xincheng was a little regretful, the prize was in front of him. Although it was not very novel, the rewards were of different significance as children. She took it with a smile and said, "Let me think about it again, think about it again."

Yizi was inspired and looked at Xu Qilin and said hesitantly: "Since it's not a toy dog, it's a real dog. If you beat it and scold it, you won't leave. Could it be a dead dog?"

Yes! Xu Qilin stretched out his thumb and made a marvelous voice, "If you guessed it, the answer is 'dead dog'."

The flesh on His Majesty Li Er's face moved twice, and moved a step, as if he was about to kick Xu Qilin.

After a little stunned, Yizi clapped her hands and laughed, pointing and shouting: "Give me the prize, give me the prize. I want that little porcelain pig and that raider."

Xu Qilin reached out and handed it over. Wei Zi took the prize and showed it to his father, and smiled and said, "I can also guess riddles, and I have guessed several of them!"

His Majesty Li Er laughed and forced Xu Qilin to escape the danger.

Xu Hui reached out and patted Xu Qilin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The joke is enough to stop. If there are good riddles, it might as well be said. It is this couplet, which is just right to replace the broken lantern."

Xu Qilin knew that this was a different topic from the sister, such as broken lanterns, dead dogs, and brain teasers, which did not conform to the times and could easily lead people's thinking to the wrong way.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Then I'll create a riddle of decomposition, and the silkworm is the world's insect."

Xu Hui thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "Hong is a bird by the river."

"Sister is extremely intelligent." Xu Qilin stretched out his thumb.

"You send one, I'll guess." His Majesty Li Er saw that there were no one around him, and he was not afraid of revealing his identity.

Xu Qilin scratched his head and thought to himself: It’s absolutely true that you will definitely have long eyes, so let’s just make a simple one and make you happy.

"Then the empress also had a riddle, and the water and sand appeared."

His Majesty Li Er thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's the earthen dike that is formed."

"Your Majesty is extremely wise, and you can guess it." Xu Qilin grinned, as if he was very sincere.

"Stop coming, let's have a hard time." His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, but he smiled slightly.

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes and thought to himself: I'm still excited, I'll just be stunned and lose face.

"It's stumping me, I'll be rewarded." His Majesty Li Er gave Xu Qilin a blank look, as if he didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not.

"Then, I'll be in a very difficult situation." Xu Qilin touched his chin and said, "When there are insects, it will be turbid, and when there are fish, it will be fishing. Water, water, rivers and lakes are vast."

"It's still similar to the word "demolition." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and pondered for a while. Zhan Yan said, "The root of the wood is the root, the top of the wood is the bottom, the wood, wood, and pine and cypress are the most popular."

Hehe, Xu Qilin was about to give a thumbs up, but His Majesty Li Er glared at him, "It won't be difficult for me to come out again, and the reward will be gone."

I'm going, this is asking for a slap in the face! It doesn't take any of the eternal things, it's just a relatively difficult one, you have to be stupid.

Xu Qilin pretended to think about it and said with a smile: "Please listen to it, your Majesty, this is the origin of the family teacher, and I can't answer it at that time."

"Tell me!" His Majesty Li Er smiled slightly.

"One big Qiao, two small Qiao, three inches of golden lotus, four inches of waist, five boxes and six boxes, seven colorful ones, eight points and nine points ten charming."

Well, His Majesty Li Er said with a slight head, "This is interesting, all ten numbers are taken up. If you want to be correct, you have to turn it over, right?"

"That's right." Xu Qilin nodded.

His Majesty Li Er fell into deep thought, looked up at Xu Hui for a while, and smiled and said, "Madam, you have to think about it too!"

Xu Hui smiled bitterly and said, "I am thinking hard, but unfortunately I have no clue."

After thinking for a while, His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "It's stumping me. Well, tell me the answer, and the reward will remain the same."

Xu Qilin bowed and thanked him, and said, "In the 19th month, eighth minute round, seven Jinshi and six return, five o'clock, four drums and three sounds, two Qiao Daqiao and one person occupy."

His Majesty Li Er recalled it a little, laughed loudly, and said, "Immortal Lu Yu is so funny, good couplet, good couplet."

Xu Hui also nodded in praise and smiled and said, "It is normal to talk about poetry and fu, but this couplet is really interesting. When you go back and study the rhymes carefully, you will have more fun in the future."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "It's really a good entertainment." He turned to look at Xu Qilin and said, "Let's leave two first couplets before leaving, wait for me to think about the second couplet."

Xu Qilin took the order, thought for a while, and said, "The first couplet, the first couplet: chickens and dogs cross the frost bridge, plum blossoms and bamboo leaves all the way; the second couplet, the first couplet: Green water is worry-free, but the surface is wrinkled due to the wind."

"Elegant sentences, elegant sentences." His Majesty Li Er praised repeatedly, turned to his two beloved daughters, and smiled: "Shizi, Xincheng, are you watching the lanterns with your father, or continue to play with Qi Lin?"

Yizi thought for a while and said, "The child doesn't want to disturb his father's good mood, and he also wants to go to Xiao Zhao's house to sit."

Xincheng didn't know how to speak tactfully, blinked his big eyes and said, "I'm with Sister."

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said to Xu Qilin: "Then take good care of the two princesses and don't play too late."

"Yes, I can't help it." Xu Qilin bowed and bowed, then bowed to his sister, leading the two young men toward their companions outside the circle.

Xu Hui watched his younger brother walk away and smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess has long been thinking about visiting Chang'an, so I can enjoy the rest of my life tonight."

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "They are about the same age, but they can play together. Let's continue watching the lights."

…………………

The Lantern Festival carnival has passed.

His Majesty and his sister were watching the lanterns in a low dress and taking the little princess all night to play. For Xu Qilin, it was just a small episode of normal life, far from treating these as capitals for showing off or bragging like others.

Although he really wanted to pay attention to the big happy events after the carnival, he really couldn't help much except get money.

Everything is done according to the rules, with a fixed etiquette process, and the days are set, and the 24th day of the first lunar month, the housekeeper and servants are busy.

Xu Qilin had long sought his brother's advice and used the house in the city as a new house.

Moreover, this house belongs to Xu Qilu. Although there is no intention of splitting up, it was Xu Qilin who decided privately to pass by Xu Qilu after getting married.

It is convenient to live in a house outside the city, but Xu Qilin was not satisfied. He also asked people to find a house in the city and buy it if there is a suitable one.

Later generations had to work hard for a house worth tens of square meters, and they also needed support from their parents. Now they bought it when they say they were the boss, and they were the boss, and they were afraid of living in it if there were fewer people.

Whenever Xu Qilin thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

But in ancient times, he had money, but did not make Xu Qilin feel the ecstasy he thought he would have. Times changed, and no matter how rich he was, he could not buy much of what he wanted.

It is an impossible fantasy and luxury to play games on your computer, use your phone to browse your Moments, or buy a luxury car for a ride.

Adaptation is a must, but some are difficult to change in life.

Well, His Majesty Li Er’s reward has been received, but Xu Qilin feels it is strange.

Just because gunpowder can be used in the army, it is considered military merit, His Majesty Li Er added a medal to himself, three times the Flying Cavalry Officer? Or is it an official rank, and it is difficult to get promoted again if the title is not good, so use this void to deal with it?

As for silk and silk, what wealth does Xu Qilin have, he still cares about this little property?

Forget it, just deal with it. It’s useless to argue with His Majesty Li Er. Let’s take it slowly. There will always be a cap for ten or eight years, right?

Xu Qilin thought about it and put the reward aside. He was not busy with work, but he could be late and leave early; his business was good, and he made a profit every day; his maid was well-behaved and served comfortably, so he lived a very free life.

Although he didn't care much about rewards, His Majesty Li Er really had to plan to use them. At the age of thirteen, it took less than a year to use them from Bai Ding to the fifth grade, and then to the Viscount. At this speed, he would really have no rewards in the future.

Looking at the farmers presented by Xu Qilin, the name alone made His Majesty Li Er roll his eyes again. "Agriculture Encyclopedia"! There is also a line of small words "must-have for farmers", which is both a bit strange and quite popular.

However, after His Majesty Li Er looked through two pages, his expression changed. Not only was the title of the book popular, but the content was also easy to understand, and it was arranged according to the monthly order, and it was clear at a glance when to do what to do.

"Well, it's really clear if you write this way." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and said, "But even so, how many people in the village can read and read?"

Xu Qilin replied: "There will be at least one or two in each village? No matter how bad it is, there are also prefecture and county officials and subordinates. It is also their job to persuade farmers to be moored. If you follow this book to guide farmers, it will only increase the workload."

His Majesty Li Er drooped his eyelids and looked around. After a while, he looked up and said, "Then you will print two hundred copies first and the court will distribute them to the prefectures!"

Xu Qilin bowed to accept the order and finally completed another task, which may be used in the beginning of spring. As for the development and operation in Hexi, it is not a matter of urgency, and you can drag it down.

Seeing that Xu Qilin did not give up, His Majesty Li Er thought for a moment and remembered that there was something he had. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Forget about the competition with the Imperial College of Accounting and Accounting, it must be that the students of Dayingku won, so why bother the Imperial College could not come to Taiwan?"

Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why is Your Majesty so sure? You have to compare the outcome before you know it!"

"I have asked Li Chunfeng, how could he make random assertions?" His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "I know your thoughts, so that those common people's children also have the opportunity to show their talents, but the Imperial College was covered in dust and the court's face was not good."

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said, "But the students of the Dayingku Mathematics Museum are very energetic, just waiting to show off in front of His Majesty!"

"When did I say I want to watch the competition?" His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes and said, "I have decided to change all the Imperial College School to use the textbooks you compiled. Isn't that enough?"

After pausing, His Majesty Li Er continued, "As for the students, how can they be buried if they ask them to study hard?"

Xu Qilin blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and smiled and said, "Weichen wants to hold an internal competition, and the winner will give you a reward to encourage the students to continue working hard."

His Majesty Li Er looked at Xu Qilin and teased: "Since it is an internal competition in Dayingku, you have to decide the prize, do you still have to give me a reward?"

"It is the best that your Majesty can reward you." Xu Qilin smiled shamelessly: "Or it will be distributed in the name of the royal family, and the effect will be good."

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile and said, "Let's pay it in the name of the royal family, and you can consider the prizes for yourself."

Xu Qilin nodded repeatedly and said, "I have already thought about it and tentatively set three awards, namely Gold, Silver, and Bronze. If you hear that it is a royal reward, the students will be ecstatic."
