Neighbors with powerful ministers

……many years ago……

Xie Xiaojie wears a heavy filial piety, has not been accepted into the palace by his cousin, and does not go out often, because his mother, who is the eldest princess, has been suspicious for a long time, and she is always afraid of him alone. If you turn around and don't see it, you will be killed.

The biggest scope of Xie Xiaojie's activities is the Zhenguo Princess Mansion, which was given to him when his mother was still a princess. Married and had children here, full of memories.After Emperor Ren ascended the throne, he promoted his younger brother Wentian to be the eldest princess. Wentian accepted the title and title, but rejected the new house given along with him. He only made some regulatory expansion and repairs to the old courtyard.

In other words, no matter how young Xie Xiaojie is, no matter how curious he is about the world, he will not find this small courtyard in the world so much fun.He is too familiar with this place, every plant and tree, even a stone with strange patterns on the cobblestone path in the atrium, has been played by him over and over again.He wants to go out, want to be lively, at least not to live such a boring life that seems to be repeated every day.

Then, on a certain summer morning, as soon as Xie Xiaojie opened his eyes, his wish came true—he found a seed that was glowing red like blood jade on his bedside, and it would shine brightly when held in the sun. , Even more dazzling than mother's gemstones.

The first time Xie Xiaojie didn't wait for the female envoy to serve him, he put on the double-breasted blouse by himself. He would definitely be dressed in a mess if he was in a hurry, but he was still in high spirits, and broke into his mother's room like a gust of wind. The sleepy-eyed and confused mother said: "Mother, mother, look what I found! This is the seed of a fairy!"

Even if Wen Tian hadn't woken up, he could tell that his son was talking stupid things.That stuff isn't a seed at all, is it?Probably, in order to make Xie Jie happy, the envoy specially found or made a seed-like gemstone for him.

Wen Tian also felt narrow-minded, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What can the fairy seeds do?"

"Of course I can grow it, dad." Xie Xiaojie looked up at the mother on the bed, with a helpless expression of "Why are you so stupid", his big black eyes like grapes are full of determination, "Someone told me last night Mine, yes, yes, a big brother in a strange silver suit told me that he hoped I could plant it, water it well, and then it would grow him. I think that guy is a bit like Daddy, So it will definitely grow out of father!"

"...Then you can plant one for your mother to see." Wen Tian finally said this, and by the way, he put her silly son on the bed and kissed him wantonly.How can her son be so cute?So cute even in my dreams.

...the memory ends...

Given Xie Jie's current physical condition, he would naturally not be able to climb the mountain, even if the mountain was just a small dirt bag.It's not realistic to be carried up by someone, he must be confided.

Therefore, the specific completion process of the task of "returning Tianshi personally" is as follows:

When Xie Dalang and Xie Xiaosi accompanied Xie Jie to buy coins at the temple fair, Xie Erlang and Xie San'er had already run errands up the mountain to inform the great monk of Tianning Wanshou that our son is here;

After two sticks of incense, the dice were eaten, and Xie Erlang and Xie Saner happened to come down from the mountain. They were accompanied by two young monks in dyed clothes, one on the left and the other on the right, holding a golden pen filled with Sanskrit. Before the red brocade box stood still in front of Xie's ox cart, they passed the box to Xie Dalang non-stop, as if shaking off some burden;

After Xie Dalang and Xie Erlang confirmed that they were correct, they passed the bamboo curtain that could be rolled up at the door of the bullock cart, and handed it to the envoy who served Xie Jie inside;

The maid opened the box in front of Xie Jie, and after another confirmation that it was non-toxic and harmless, the Tianshi, which Xie Jie couldn't take care of himself for several months, was finally delivered to Xie Jie.

In view of the fact that the eldest princess deliberately detained this group of great monks who had a meeting in Tianning Wanshou, "by mistake" they avoided the unknown number of wars and chaos in the past.Now, in the hearts of this group of great monks, Wen Tian and Xie Jie's mother and son are the cutest people, and they are really as polite as possible to Xie Jie.

Two little monks with round heads and round brains, who looked like Buddhist beads, were still outside the bullock cart to convey their master's Dharma intentions: "Master said, this thing came from the nine heavens, and it is full of evil spirits, which cannot be evaporated. , can't be smashed, can't be cut..."

To Xie Jie, these words sound like blah blah blah blah blah blah. He just lowered his head and concentrated on studying the uneven, black, purple stone in his hand that was no bigger than a palm. He almost went to reunite with his father's family, the most important thing is——

——How could it be so ugly? !

Xie Shizi, who has been paying attention to food and detail all his life, has a great resistance to this stone that is said to be inseparable from him, not because it hits him, but because it is really too big!ugly!up!

The uglier it looks!

In order to avoid his mood being completely ruined, Xie Jie decided to go to Nanhu to put lights on to divert his attention.

Xie San'er hugged the dime reserved for him, walked while eating, and listened to Xie Xiaosi's No.20 How Three Times Failed in Love by the way.

Although Xie San'er is straightforward, he also feels that his brother will definitely win or lose in the future by chasing people like this.So he lowered his voice and enthusiastically said: "You can't be so cheap anymore, you know? Whether it's a kid or a girl, who would like others to talk about him? Are you still not convinced? What are you not convinced about?

"Our lord is also mean-spirited? Our lord is the son of the world, are you? Our lord's mother is the eldest princess, what is your mother? Our lord's family is the emperor, what about your family? The most important thing What's more, do you see who is around our lord? There is no one!

"Our lord wants money, power, and good looks. No one can stand his mouth like this. What does it mean? Don't you have any idea?"

Xie Jie: "..." He really wanted to say that the sound insulation of this bullock cart is not good.

South Lake is coming soon.

Nanhu Lake is a part of Qiantang River, a freshwater ornamental lake, and also the face of Jiangzuo.

It's a pity that Nanhu didn't get much respect in the previous dynasty.When Daqi took over, Nanhu Lake had let itself go because it had not been treated for many years, and half of the lake was covered with aquatic organisms, weeds grew wildly, and crabs dominated.

While the imperial court was still debating whether to waste a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to rescue Nanhu in order to fight against the previous court, a talented man who had traveled to Beijing twice to rush for the exam and finally passed the exam stood up.This Su talent directly published the "Begging to Open Jiangzuo Nanhu State" to the emperor, asserting that "Jiangzuo has Nanhu Lake, just like a person has eyebrows, and it cannot be abandoned." The implication is that even the face of his hometown If you don’t cultivate, are you stupid?

At that time, it was Xie Jie's uncle Rendi who was in power, a man who was slapped in the face by candidates in the palace examination, satirized the current government with his answers, and was able to reuse the other party because what the other party said made sense.

It is said that the prime minister can pole-vault in his stomach with his uncle's demeanor.

Therefore, although this gifted scholar Su uttered bold words, he did not offend Emperor Ren, on the contrary, it attracted Emperor Ren to finally stop hesitating and make a decision to rectify Nanhu.

Of course, there were also rumors that it was not Su Caizi's madness that really moved Emperor Ren, but this part-time gourmet talent once told his friends in private that the crabs in Nanhu Lake were really delicious.

Which one is true and which one is false, you can prove it freely. Anyway, Nanhu's rectification has started vigorously.

It is said that the imperial court mobilized nearly 20 laborers to complete the dredging of the South Lake, dig out weeds, eat crabs, and build a long embankment across the entire lake.To commemorate this talented man who allowed everyone to eat river fresh food until he vomited, the long embankment became the "Su embankment".

As far as Xie Jie's personal feelings are concerned, in this past, the most annoying part is not that crabs have been eaten from the flood to endangered, but it is said that "Dongpo meat", the most popular hard dish among Jiangzuo folks, is just now. It is because Su Dacai was widely circulated as a reward for the hard work of the laborers.

In the early days, everyone thought that pork was inferior meat that only the poor would eat. It was not until the Nanhu rectification that the diet structure of everyone was slightly shaken.

It's always like, one job, two dishes are popular, and I can't accept it.

Now that Xie Jie came to Nanhu Lake, all he saw was the Nanhu Lake where the water from the Wanghu Building is like the sky. The lake is green, the mountains and mist are colored, and the boy rowed a boat to pick the thorn water chestnut. Peeling the thorn water chestnut, it looks like water chestnut, like broad beans, and its taste is delicious. ... It's delicious. It's delicious.

Always feeling that something was not right, Xie Jie fell into deep thought.

When getting out of the ox cart, Xie Jie didn't let anyone help him, but insisted on getting off by himself, and even drove away the fourth son, not letting them surround him, because he thought he could.

But people with a little medical knowledge should know that people who wake up after a long-term coma will not only be accompanied by occasional vomiting, but also have limbs that are uncoordinated for a period of time.

That is...

Fall flat.

The moment Xie Jie fell down, his heart was full of despair. He felt that he was ashamed today, could he be more unlucky?

But what greeted Xie Jie was not loess and fine sand, but an embrace full of cold breath.Xie Jie supported the other party's strong arms, and before he could speak, he heard the other party ask first: "Are you okay?"

Xie Jie will never forget that familiar voice.
