The Big Landlord

In the blink of an eye, it was May, the weather was getting warmer, and the breath of spring was more intense. Tang Shi's arm was almost healed. Of course, this was only in the eyes of others. In fact, his arm had already healed.

After school that day, Tang Shi, accompanied by Zhao Jin, went to the bamboo house in the back mountain.

The roses beside the fence have already bloomed, and the delicate pink and white petals are swaying in the breeze. The blue bamboo fence and the pink or white flowers complement each other, which is very beautiful.

Zhao Jin held Tang Shi's hand and came to the courtyard.There are dozens of pots of delicate, elegant or majestic flowers in the courtyard, and one of them is extremely unique.

Although Zhao Jin doesn't like flowers very much, but he used to be there and participated in many flower fairs organized by nobles, so he knew a lot of famous products. He also felt that the reason why famous products are famous products must have their unique characteristics. at.But he had never seen or heard of the plant raised in Tang Dynasty.

In the Tang Dynasty, this flower was named "Jindaiwei", which is very suitable for the shape of this flower.This flower is a species of peony, with broad and bright red petals. It is different from other peonies in that the flowers are divided into upper and lower layers, separated by a layer of yellow stamens in the middle. The flower shape is rich, noble and unique. grid.

At first, Zhao Jin was just a little surprised by the shape of the flower, but when Tang Shi explained it, he understood the meaning that the flower could be given.

The official uniforms of the Great Qi State are exquisite. Generally, only the prime minister can wear a red official robe and a golden belt, which just echoes the pattern of this flower.Such implication must be extremely popular in the eyes of literati.

"Qingping Prefecture holds a flower viewing party every spring and autumn, and this flower will definitely attract attention." Maybe it's not just as simple as being eye-catching.

During the five days, a flower will be selected by the appreciators as the oiran, and the lucky one will be sent to Kyoto to compete with oirans from all over the country. It will be offered to the palace, and if the nobles in the palace are fancy, they will be kept, even if they are not fancy, they will be given to a certain courtier to show that the emperor values ​​him.

Needless to say, the person who grows this flower will be rewarded with money, and more importantly, he can leave a name with the nobleman. In this way, will the benefits be less?

Tang Shi looked up at him, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "The flowers I grow are naturally good. Look, which one here is not good-looking?"

Zhao Jin patted his head, "Young Master Tang raised him, and of course he is gorgeous."

This is true. From the point of view of Zhao Jin, a layman, the animals raised in the Tang Dynasty are full of aura. There are not only peonies here, but also various precious flowers such as orchids, crabapples, camellias, and peonies. All of them are very eye-catching.

"But I can't take them to the flower viewing party by myself." Tang Shi only wanted to make money in a low-key manner, and he didn't want to stand out.

Zhao Jin hugged him, and said in a gentle and loving tone, "Don't worry, I've already talked to Geng Cailiang about this matter, just let him take care of the flower fair. Of course, the money is all yours."

Tang Shi smiled, "We must pay him for his hard work."

"I'll just give it to me. As I said before, you only need to be responsible for growing the flowers, and leave everything else to me."

Tang Shi felt that he had really gotten a big deal. He didn't like these trivial matters. Now that someone has taken care of them for him, he was really happy, "Don't worry, I won't treat you badly if I make money in the future."

Zhao Jin laughed, "Okay, I will rely on you to support me from now on."

Tang Shi's eyes widened, "How can you be so worthless?"

The two had been together for a long time these days, and jokes were often made. Zhao Jin also got to know some of Tang Shi's petty tempers better, and in his opinion, these petty tempers were very cute.

But usually at this time, he would stroke along the hair, "Is there anything I can do in front of you?" he said.

The corners of Tang Shi's mouth turned up, and then he jumped onto Zhao Jin's back without saying hello, wrapping his arms around his neck, Zhao Jin immediately put his arms around his legs, and said helplessly, "Be careful. "

Tang Shi leaned into his ear, "Are you still worried about me?"

Zhao Jin walked down the mountain with him on his back, "Then why did you get hurt like that before?"

Tang Shi smiled "hehe", "Although my abilities are acceptable to you, they are not necessarily to others." After all, Zhao Jin himself has abilities that are different from ordinary people.

Seeing that Zhao Jin's complexion was not very good, he continued, "It won't happen in the future. From now on, I will say that I learned martial arts from you, and then beat them up on the spot, okay?"

Zhao Jin weighed him up, "Okay, whatever you say is fine."

The flower appreciation meeting was scheduled for late May, which was the time when the Golden Belt Wai was in full bloom. Tang Shi reluctantly handed it over to Hong Zhong, who asked Hong Zhong to bring it to Geng Cailiang.

"Distressed?" Zhao Jin couldn't help asking, looking at Tang Shi's reluctant eyes.

Of course, Tang Shi felt distressed. This flower cost him a lot of effort, as if his raised son had been taken away by someone, and he was heartbroken.

Standing beside Tang Shi, Tang Ya was also very frustrated.She has always liked these flowers, and she has learned a lot about growing flowers from Tang shi, and Tang shi found that she is still very talented.

Tang Shi gave her some seeds and asked her to plant them by herself. Apart from learning calligraphy and martial arts and working as a maid, Tang Ya paid attention to the flowers she raised every day.She was still excited for a long time when the flower bud came out.

"Uncle, where is Uncle Hong going to take Xiao Jin?" She didn't know about the flower viewing party yet.Xiaojin is the nickname she gave to Jindai.

"Take it so that more people can see it, like it, and love it."

Tang Ya's pretty face couldn't help showing a smile. Now that she has been influenced by words, her temperament has gradually faded from the original shyness. In addition, she often stays with Zhao Xu and is also influenced by Zhao Xu. Although her personality is not It is said that she has become extroverted, but she has also become graceful. Because of her martial arts practice, even though she has a soft appearance, she is not as delicate as Tangyue. On the contrary, she is soft and strong, which is very unique.

Tang Ya is firm-willed, pure-hearted but not stupid. Given time, she will definitely achieve something.

The flowers were sent away, and Tang Shi was in a low mood. In order to make him happy, Zhao Jin asked him, "Do you want to learn how to ride a horse?"

Hearing this, Tang Shi's eyes lit up. As the basic means of transportation in this era, he must learn how to use horses.Although he went to the racetrack to ride a horse in his previous life, he only learned a little bit of superficial knowledge. If you talk about horse skills, it really doesn't matter.

Seeing his eager look, Zhao Jin knew he was interested.

"I'll take you to a place."

The two came to a wide courtyard.This courtyard was located between Tangjia Village and the county seat. Tang Shi had seen it before. He thought it was a landlord's house, but he didn't expect it to be owned by Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin led him to knock on the door, and someone came to open the door immediately. The man dressed as a servant was quite respectful when he saw Zhao Jin, and he didn't show the slightest surprise at Tang Shi beside him.

"Bring the white crane here," Zhao Jin ordered.

The servant immediately pulled out a white horse from the backyard. The horse is strong and powerful, but it looks very docile.

Tang Shi looked at the horse. It was beautiful, but not explosive, so he asked Zhao Jin, "Can I choose it myself?"

Zhao Jin shook his head, "You haven't ridden a horse before, so it's better to use this horse for beginners."

Tang shi had no choice but to give up temporarily.

There was a flat field outside the courtyard. Zhao Jin was about to help Tang Shi get on the horse, but Tang Shi stepped onto the horse very coolly and smiled proudly at him.

Zhao Jin couldn't help raising his eyebrows. It seemed that he underestimated his Tang Xiaoshi.

"Try taking a few steps slowly first." As soon as Zhao Jin finished speaking, Tang Shi hurriedly urged Bai He to come, and Bai He started to trot when he got the order.

Tang shi started to get back the feeling of being on the racetrack as soon as he was riding, so he asked Bai He to speed up.

The white crane hadn't run so freely for a long time, so it ran with joy. The warm spring breeze blew on Tang Shi's face, lifting his braids. The scent of green grass carried in the wind was refreshing. Have a good time.

Bai He drove him around for several laps, and then stopped in front of Zhao Jin. Tang Shi leaned over and patted the horse's head, and said affectionately, "It's my fault for despising you just now, you're pretty good. "

Zhao Jin looked up at him, "Why do I feel that there is no room for me?"

Sitting on the horse, Tang Shi's face was blushed due to exercise, and he looked extremely young and lively. For some reason, Zhao Jin suddenly felt old. In fact, he was only 20 years old.

"Who said there is no use for it? I only know this, and the rest is waiting for you to teach me."

Zhao Jin heard the words, and ordered the servant: "Take out my horse."

The servant pulled out a maroon horse. When Tang Shi saw it, his heart was moved, "You are such a nice horse."

Zhao Jin stepped on the horse and stood side by side with him, "It's called Chi Xiao. Let's learn from easy to difficult." He said and rode forward.

Tang Shi followed him closely, and Zhao Jin explained to him while teaching that Tang Shi had a strong mental strength and a strong learning ability, but he learned well after a while.

As it was getting late, the two stopped and dismounted together. Zhao Jin asked Tang Shi, "Are you tired?"

Tang Shi was actually not too tired, but he still said, "A little tired." Sometimes he had to give his other half a chance to take care of himself, otherwise he would feel unfulfilled.

Zhao Jin squatted down with his back to him, "I'll carry you back."

Tang Shi bid farewell to Bai He, then lay on Zhao Jin's back, hugged his neck, and smiled where Zhao Jin couldn't see.

It's great to meet such a person.
