In the Tang Dynasty, there were no couplets or couplets at all, so it was normal for Ma Zhou to regard it as two lines of poetry.

Xu Qilin reached out and explained, "I call it a couplet or couplet, which is hung next to the door of the building, the house and the house are beautiful and elegant."

Ma Zhou laughed and said as if he was jokingly: "Qi Lin's casual work is a wonderful and wonderful poem. If you have free time, I will give me a pair of them. What about this couplet?"

Xu Qilin said, "I'm stupid, I'm afraid I have to think about some time."

"Don't worry, when will you think about it? Let me give it to me." Ma Zhou stopped and the private room.

When he walked into the private room, Ma Zhou found that the inside was quite large, and two tables were placed in one round and one square. The round table seemed to be for eating. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the square table, and the two tables were separated by screens.

"Brother Ma, please sit down." Xu Qilin reached out to invite him, turned to the clerk and ordered: "There are six signature dishes, you must have both meat and vegetables, so put them on quickly. The air conditioner is also turned on. It's so hot that day."

The guy agreed and turned around and left.

It was not long, so another guy brought fruit drinks and wine. Ma Zhou felt that there was a cool air and the temperature in the house decreased.

"This restaurant is not simple!" Ma Zhou looked at it and said in surprise: "If you can use ice to cool down the heat, there are probably not many high-ranking officials in the capital who are rich and powerful."

"If Brother Ma needs it, I will send you a truck of ice to the mansion every day." Xu Qilin said disapprovingly: "I'm not sure about it. I have the technique of making ice. This ice is not a precious thing."

Ma Zhou looked at Xu Qilin, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "How much else does Qilin have to do, which outsiders don't know."

Xu Qilin shrugged and said, "It's not much. I originally wanted to be a rich man, but I can't help myself!"

"Jianghu?" It should be a temple, right? Ma Zhou smiled and shook his head, already feeling a little immune to the new words that Xu Qilin suddenly popped up.

Xu Qilin made friends with Ma Zhou and wanted to get some advice. He still needed to understand the taboos in the court, His Majesty Li Er's reverse scale.

The dishes were served quickly, and Xu Qilin waved his friend to take a cup of tea and chatted with Ma Dami while eating and drinking.

Wine is a lubricant, which not only enhances feelings, but also brings closer together. After two cups, people who are not very familiar with each other can also be called brothers and close to each other like old friends for many years.

Ma Zhou was a rotten alcoholic when he was young, and he only became restrained when he was old. But today he was quite generous and praised the dishes for their unique recipes, delicious taste, and good wine.

Brother, don’t just drink it, say some real things, some gossip, etc.

Xu Qilin accompanied him for two glasses. Seeing that his alcohol tolerance was definitely not enough, he tasted it briefly and ate more dishes.

"It would be even better if there was Xinfeng wine." Ma Zhou sighed, "I drank one dou eight liters alone back then, which was quite leisurely."

Xu Qilin quickly praised: "Brother Ma, a lot of it!"

Ma Zhou was contented, smiling, and asked, "Qi Lin said in detail about that public library."

Xu Qilin was stunned for a moment. He just talked about fine wine, and the jump was a bit big! But who we are? It’s just a library, you can tell if you are a time traveler.

Our country's libraries have a long history, but in ancient times they were called "official", "ge", "guard", "tai", "dian", "yard", "tang", "zhai", and "building".

But these libraries are private or official and are not open to the public. This is the biggest difference from what Xu Qilin said about public pictures.

Ma Zhou listened to Xu Qilin's story and sighed: "If it can be built, the poor people in the world will not have to study in the temple, but look at the bald donkey's face."

Is this guy biased against monks? Has he suffered the loss of monks? He also worked together to eat, drink, stay and read books in the temple. Is there any reason?

"The monk is snobbish and nods and bows to the rich officials, just for the incense money." Xu Qilin remembered the experience of being slaughtered in the temple during his later generations, and felt deeply the same.

Ma Zhou laughed twice, picked up a chopstick and put the braised fish in his mouth, chewed and tasted it carefully, and praised: "This fish is well made, the fish is tender but not greasy, and the fishy smell is also removed cleanly."

Xu Qilin said: "Grass carp has an appetizing and nourishing effect. If Brother Ma likes to eat it, let the chefs in the house learn to do it."

"Very good." Ma Zhou refused everyone, and didn't know if he was not seeing Xu Qilin, or if he felt it was natural.

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes secretly and decided to give less favors. It's not over yet. I wonder if he's polite?

"This mutton is also well cooked and crispy." Ma Zhou praised the braised mutton again, "It will make people salivate only by smelling this fragrance."

Xu Qilin smiled and lowered his head to eat meat, not wanting to respond. Boss, just like it, eat it, eat it!

"Even if the imperial examination reform is made, the Ministry of Personnel's interpretation of the election is still not fair enough for poor students." Ma Zhou's stomach of mutton, and suddenly asked again: "Qi Lin, is there a way?"

Xu Qilin lowered his head and rolled his eyes. He was chewing meat and talking about the delicious food. He was making up the problem of the imperial examination again?

With one jump after another, can you still have a good meal and talk well?

With a deep complaint in his heart, Xu Qilin swallowed the flesh in his mouth, then raised his head and said slowly: "Isn't the Ministry of Personnel's interpretation of the selection just to take some official documents? Print out the specifications and some model essays, bind them into a book, and let the students buy them, and familiarize themselves with them in advance."

We understand this. I can’t read the college entrance examination questions until I missed it. I couldn’t look back on the past. Now I have to do some must-do the imperial examinations and must-do the selections, so that the students can enjoy it. Hehe, haha.

Xu Qilin was proud of himself. As soon as he put a piece of carrot into his mouth, he heard a loud shout "Okay".

With this "good", Ma Zhou also patted Xu Qilin's shoulder with excitement.

Puff, the carrots are spitting out! Xu Qilin's forehead is covered with black thread, and his head is tilted and Ma Zhou's eyes are white.

Ma Zhou laughed and said, "How could Qi Lin? This time I finally saw your talent. Well, my wonderful ideas are a genius."

Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a little clever. I seem to know everything. If I want to go deeper, it's hard to get into the elegant hall."

"Otherwise." Ma Zhou shook his head and said seriously: "You can think of what others can't think of, this is talent; although the ideas are wild, they are not impossible to realize, this is capable."

Xu Qilin blinked and smiled.

Ma Zhou looked at Xu Qilin with admiration and nodded repeatedly, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "You can't even bother you, but you won't get anything. I'll tell you about Your Majesty and the affairs in the court."
