Chapter 25
Cheng Chumo hung the deer on his waist, and carried his hunting bow on his back.
Then he pounced on a bunch of chicks.
To his surprise, these chickens were not afraid of people at all, but ran towards him instead.
Cheng Chu said silently, just right, he reached out to catch the chick.
But, behind the tree, a child wearing a tiger fur hat was holding a basin in his hand, and looked at him with blinking eyes.
It took Xu Changsheng a long time to react, and then he opened his voice and shouted fiercely, "Everyone, come and catch the chicken thief! Someone stole our chicken!"
Cheng Chumo was holding a chick, and then he was dumbfounded.
Chicken thief?
Aren't these chickens mountain pheasants?
Xu Changsheng didn't come to the back mountain alone, there was a group of children.
It didn't take long for the dignified son of Duke Lu's family to be surrounded by a group of children who were fierce and fierce, holding basins in their hands.
"Why are you like this? You actually stole our chickens. Even if our chickens look good, you can't steal them." A group of children began to besiege with their mouths.
Cheng Chumo is dark and strong, and has martial arts skills. If a group of adults dared to surround him like this, they would have punched him away, and then slowly reasoned.
But facing a group of children, his face turned red with embarrassment, thanks to his dark skin, he couldn't tell.
"These chickens are running all over the mountains, who said they belong to you?" Cheng Chumo said while blinking. He used to hunt on the mountains a lot.
A tiger-skin hat directly stepped forward, sprinkled the bean dregs in the basin in his hand on the ground, and then raised his little head high.
A group of chicks surrounded them.
Cheng Chumo: "..."
These children's pots are filled with bean dregs?Actually used to feed chickens?
Other people's chickens are released to find food for themselves, and they don't know what they can eat.
The lack of food in the Tang Dynasty is a well-known thing.
No wonder these chicks look so good.
A group of children raised their little heads, they were exactly the same, look, look, the chick belongs to their family.
Cheng Chumo couldn't argue with a group of children, so he put down the chicken in his hand.
Then after thinking about it, he took off the roe at his waist and handed it over, "I'm from Duke Lu's mansion in Chang'an. I'm really not greedy for your chickens. I thought it was just a pheasant in the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be raised by you. I lost my way in the mountain." , In this way, I will give you this roe, and you can point me back to Chang'an."
Duke Lu?
Isn't that Cheng Yaojin?The famous Demon King of Confusion.
Xu Changsheng sized this person up, looking at his clothes, he really didn't look like a chicken thief.
A group of children looked at Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng couldn't take his eyes off the deer he was handing over. This is authentic wild game. It's been a long time since he made a tooth sacrifice?Waiting for the chick to grow up every day, I'm so hungry for him.
Every day I ate something with clear soup and little water, and I started to feel dizzy.
He took the deer with twinkling eyes, and then pointed in one direction, "Go straight in this direction, and you will see the official road, and then follow the official road, and you will be able to return to Chang'an."
After speaking, he flung his calves and ran away. He had to go back and ask his aunt to stew the roe roe in the pot, so that he could eat it at night.
Cheng Chumo was about to leave, but his eyes shrank suddenly, and he took the bow off his back with his backhand, because a particularly strong tiger pounced on the group of children.
However, the eyeballs almost fell off immediately.
I saw the little tiger-skin cap climbed onto the back of the tiger, jumping and galloping across the mountains, like a ghost in the mountains.
The group of children didn't panic at all, they ran after the big tiger.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely think that they encountered a monster, and they would be scared to death.
But Cheng Chumo is courageous...
I took a look at the chickens all over the mountain...
He has never seen this scene before, and, that child can actually control a tiger...
Are these mountain children really small spirits?Could he have walked to some strange place by accident?
As expected of Cheng Chumo, he belonged to Duke Lu's mansion, such a weird incident aroused all his blood...
He wanted to see what was going on!Is there really a saying about mountain ghosts?
Cheng Chumo started to walk in the direction where Xu Changsheng and the others left.
It wasn't long before he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
There are rows of strange small red buildings in front of you, patchwork.
How much manpower and material resources would it take to polish such a small and delicate stone wall?And these houses are actually built with this kind of stone.
Running through the small building is a road like a white jade belt, which is unbelievably smooth. How can the road be so flat?Even the Suzaku Avenue in Chang'an is not so flat.
There are even more flowers blooming on both sides of the road, white dotted with red, just like a dream.
In addition, between each row of small buildings, the ground is paved with red stone blocks, and the plum tree in the middle is wrapped by a flat platform. From a distance, there are many old people sitting on the platform leisurely look...
I'm afraid he has arrived at some kind of fairy family paradise?
Even the energetic and courageous Cheng Chumo was shocked by the modern neighborhood.
He didn't move forward, but returned to Chang'an City along the road pointed by Xu Changsheng in a daze.
After Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an, he didn't recover from the shock for a while.
Back in the mansion, when meeting familiar people, it is inevitable to share his unique experience.
This made Lu Guogong very anxious, and his son might be hysterical.
Cheng Yaojin has a bad temper, he slapped Cheng Chumo on the face, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Cheng Chumo was very aggrieved, why did no one believe him!
The news that the young master of Duke Lu's family met a tiger-riding immortal on the mountain was passed on by some gossip woman. The news was so serious that basically the whole of Chang'an knew about it.
Most of them are treated as an after-dinner conversation.
Of course, those who have enmity with Lu Guogong's mansion are just watching a joke.
Cheng Chumo, who was originally open and cheerful, has become like this, which makes Mrs. Cheng very anxious.
Regardless of those pig and dog friends who were not used to Cheng Chumo before, they all invited to the house, hoping to enlighten her son.
Among them, Qin Huaiyu, the leader of the pig friends and dog friends, brought good wine to the door, "You don't really have hysteria, do you? I don't think it looks like it, haha, it's still very strong."
Cheng Chumo drank bowl after bowl of wine, feeling aggrieved because no one believed his words.
Said, "When did I, Cheng Chumo, tell a lie? I have seen the beautiful red building, the white jade belt-like road surrounded by flowers, and the tiger-skin hat riding a tiger. If not Seeing it with my own eyes, I can’t even make it up.”
Qin Huaiyu was stunned when he heard this, this brother is really hysterical, no, as the best brother, how can he see his brother in a daze!
His brother has to wake up!
Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still remember the way? Why don't you take me to see it too?"
Only by letting him know the truth will he get better.
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up. These people didn't believe him. He could let them see it for themselves. After thinking about it, it shouldn't be too far away.
Cheng Chumo stood up abruptly, then pulled Qin Huaiyu and ran outside.
The two took their horses and walked away all the way.
Qin Huaiyu thought in his heart that he had done everything for his brother. If people found out, they would gallop to find some immortal, and they would laugh at him to death, thinking that he also had hysteria.
All the way fast, there is no rest at all.
In about two hours, they arrived at their destination.
"Is this the blessed land of the immortal family you mentioned?" Qin Huaiyu pointed to the thatched cottage in front of him.
Cheng Chumo frowned. He was shocked last time and left recklessly, only remembering the approximate location.
"It's time to wake up now? This is a poor mountain village, and it is everywhere in the ten counties of the Tang Dynasty. How could you say that..." Qin Huaiyu said.
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo said, "No, it should still be inside."
Qin Huaiyu shook his head, but it's all here, let's go a little further, so that his brother can give up.
Started walking inside again.
Then a gust of wind blew.
"Do you smell something?"
Qin Huaiyu was also taken aback, it was a floral fragrance, a very refreshing floral fragrance.
Cheng Chumo ran up.
Qin Huaiyu also followed, then stood beside Cheng Chumo, and looked up.
The whole person is more dumbfounded than Cheng Chumo.
what is this……?
Broad roads, white jade like a dragon, and fragrant flowers on the side of the road...
Far away, there is an exquisite red building.
Qin Huaiyu was really stupid.
And Cheng Chumo, even if it wasn't the first time he saw it, was still surprised, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Tell you, in this back mountain, there are strong chickens all over the mountain."
"This..." Qin Huaiyu hadn't recovered yet.
"Let's go, let's take you in to find the little fairy who drives the tiger." Cheng Chumo said.
Qin Huaiyu pulled Cheng Chumo back, "How do you know it's a fairy, not a mountain spirit?"
"This?" Cheng Chumo was taken aback.
"Let's go back first and come back when we bring enough people," Qin Huaiyu said.
Cheng Chumo, however, was a little unwilling and left just like that. Turning his eyes, he ran to the white jade-like roadside, and picked up a pot of gardenias, "It's actually packed in a pot. It just so happens. I'll take it back as a souvenir."
Qin Huaiyu also stepped forward and hugged a pot, "It's actually blooming at this time, and the fragrance is intoxicating. My mother will definitely like it, so I'll take a pot home too."
So the two left with a pot of gardenias in their arms.
At this moment, a child from Xujia Village named Erdan was holding half a bucket of water in his hand, ready to water his fairy grasses. He really liked these fairy grasses. I can't wait to watch it more than a dozen times a day.
Erdan looked at the two missing flower pots on the ground, and at the two horses that were gone, and cried "Wow", big tears, never been so sad.
Then turned around and ran away, "Wow, Changchangsheng, my grass jelly is gone..."
Xu Changsheng was taken aback by the crying bastard, "Does that mean two men on horses stole the flowers?"
What the hell, there is a horse to ride, why come to steal his flowers?
Erdan nodded all the time, couldn't stop crying, it was so hateful that he actually stole his fairy grass and gave back two pots... He watered it every day to take care of it before it bloomed.
"Don't cry, it's just two potted flowers." Xu Changsheng comforted.
"It's my jelly... Wow!"
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Let Erdan go to the valley to hold two pots of flowers by himself, which made him smile through tears, it seems that this child is so sad...
However, who is it that steals flowers from the green belt...!It's too embarrassing, I despise him, next time I see him, I have to poke him with a pole!
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu returned to Cheng Mansion, gathered some guards, and prepared to set off again.
After they were military commanders, they were just young, courageous and curious.
But he was stopped when he went out.
The person blocking the way was Cheng Yaojin, who was a big-bodied and rough-skinned man, "Little bastard, I heard that you rode your horses on the street in the morning? It's so majestic. Today, Yushi pointed at my old face and scolded me bloody. "
Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, "..."
In the morning, I was thinking about going out of the city, as if...
Cheng Yaojin looked at the guards at the back again, "Where are you going? You're riding horses in the city and you're hysterical. Even His Majesty called me to ask, isn't it enough?"
After finishing speaking, he said to Cheng Chumo, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, stay at home, and tomorrow is your mother's birthday, and the empress will also come, so you can try again and see if I don't break your leg. "
After finishing speaking, he cursed one after another and left.
As a result, Cheng Chumo was locked up, and Xujiacun must not be able to go.
But the two made an appointment to go again next time.
Cheng Chumo was put in confinement, and Mrs. Cheng rushed over after hearing the news.
It is said that although Cheng Yaojin is a general of five ranks and three vulgar generals, Mrs. Cheng comes from a family and is a real lady of the family, so I don't know how to think of Cheng Yaojin.
Mrs. Cheng pushed open the door and was about to speak when she suddenly moved her nose, "What's the smell? It's so fragrant?"
Cheng Chumo was planning how many people he should bring to Xujia Village next time, when he saw his mother come in, he pointed to the side, "It's just a pot of broken flowers, which bloom quite fragrantly."
Mrs. Cheng is not a group of rough men from the old Cheng family. She couldn't help being stunned when she saw the pot of gardenias in full bloom. It's only spring and the trees are just beginning to sprout. Where did the flowers come from?
The smell of this flower is really good, and the body of the flower is white and elegant.
So, after saying a few words, he happily left with flowers in his arms.
This flower was left to his son to ruin, and he probably died in a few days, so it's better to let her keep it.
Mrs. Cheng hugged the flowers and went back to her room. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. Tomorrow is her birthday. She did not expect to get such a good gift today.
The next day, the city of Chang'an was also very lively.
On Mrs. Lu Guogong's birthday, the wives of high-ranking officials and aristocrats will basically be there. It is said that even Empress Changsun will attend in person.
The relationship between Li Shimin and these generals is very good, because he used to be a general in armor.
After a day of preparation, Duke Lu's mansion was bustling.
In the inner boudoir, Empress Changsun was talking with a group of ladies.
While talking, I don't know who mentioned Cheng Chumo, "Mrs. Cheng, I heard that your son Chumo got hysteria, don't you know it's better?"
Mrs. Cheng was taken aback, a little unhappy, who would want others to say that her son had hysteria, even if she really cared, just ask in private, how could she say it in front of so many people?Even if there is no hysteria, there must be hysteria.
Mrs. Cheng said, "I don't know where the gossip came from. My son is very quiet. Why is there no hysteria? No, yesterday he gave me a pot of fragrant flowers!"
Everyone was taken aback, where did the flowers come from in this season?Mrs. Cheng is afraid that she is panicking in order to maintain her son.
A group of ladies looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. Everyone has a son. As a mother, I understand!
However, the voice sounded again, "Mrs. Cheng really has a filial son, which is enviable. He is not like my son. I don't know what birthday gift to prepare. However, Mrs. Cheng said just now that Chu Mo's gift is a pot of flowers. This makes people curious, I wonder if I can take it out and have a look?"
Mrs. Cheng glanced at the person who spoke, she was the wife of Duke Xiang, and she usually did not deal with her.
At this time, Empress Changsun saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and she muttered to herself, why is Mrs. Xiangguo picking things on other people's birthdays, and she was about to say a word of relief.
Mrs. Cheng's voice came, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the inner room to get it right away, let everyone taste the gift silently from my son!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, could there really be flowers?How is this possible, the heavy snow in winter has drowned out all the greenery.
Even Empress Changsun was a little surprised, but Mrs. Cheng's tone did not seem fake.
The close wife began to discuss in a low voice.
Mrs. Xiangguo frowned, she still didn't believe what Mrs. Cheng said was true.
At this time, footsteps sounded in the inner room.
Before the person came out, a faint scent of flowers spread out.
Now is the time when this pot of gardenias is in full bloom, and the smell is very quiet.
Empress Changsun was surprised, it smelled so pleasant.
Because of her perennial physical discomfort, she didn't smell the fragrance of flowers very much, but the fragrance of flowers was elegant, and it smelled very comfortable.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng came out with flowers.
"This……"
"It's really a blooming flower. The fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, but it's not pungent. It's very elegant."
"Yeah, I've seen quite a few flowers before, either the flowers are pretty but the smell is pungent, or they are just a little bit of small flowers that lose their charm."
"There is also this color, which is extremely white. I think those Wen Xianggong also like it."
"It's rare that it's opened so well in this period."
Empress Changsun couldn't help boasting, "Madam is really lucky, and Chu Mo is sensible. I have never received such a good gift."
Whether it's the color or the scent, she likes it all.
She likes farming, and she has opened up a piece of land in the harem to plant.
So she also likes flowers, but she can't stand the smell of other flowers, which smells so pleasant like this flower.
Mrs. Cheng smiled, "It's rare that the queen empress likes it, so give it to the empress."
Empress Changsun was taken aback for a moment, she liked it, but she didn't have the habit of stealing others' favors, she said with a smile, "What about Madam, it's Chu Mo's heart, as a mother, you should cherish it."
A group of ladies admired it around a pot of flowers, almost boasting to the sky.
In the whole banquet, a pot of flowers stole the limelight.
The next day, the news that Mrs. Lu Guogong got a wonderful flower on her birthday also spread throughout Chang'an, which made people amazed.
After Empress Changsun returned to the palace, for some reason, she always thought of the smell of the flower, as if her nose was recalling its fragrance.
Especially after a day or two, I can't remember the smell of the flower fragrance, but I think about it even more.
His Majesty Li Er noticed the abnormality, so he couldn't help asking.
Empress Changsun told the story again.
His Majesty Li Er was also amazed.
But one of the two is a holy emperor, and the other is a virtuous queen whose mother honors the world, and it is impossible for others to send flowers, so they have to let it go.
At this time, in Xujia Village, Xu Changsheng was writing a letter, of course to his good friend of Tang Dynasty, Brother Gao Ming.
As for why write?
The gardenias and roses he planted are blooming, so of course I have to take a look.
After writing the letter, I went to the valley to choose the best pots of gardenias and roses, and then handed them over to my uncle who was going to Chang'an, and helped them send them to the Changsun Mansion.
Xu Changsheng is preparing to go to the Chang'an Guozijian, because it will be the time for the Guozijian to start soon.
However, there is now a very serious problem to be solved.
That is, what about his Dabai?
Now Dabai is getting more and more clingy, and he never leaves him at all.
He even went to try it out and sneaked out of Xujia Village, but as soon as he got out, he was caught by Dabai.
Dabai obviously regarded Xujiacun as its territory, and after Xu Changsheng sneaked out of the territory, he would be taken back.
You can't go out unless you take it with you.
"What should we do?" Xu Changsheng sighed a little.
It doesn't matter if he goes to the Imperial College to study, he doesn't want to take the imperial examination, but he is studying according to the order, so it's okay if he doesn't go.
Unstoppable!
……
Li Chengqian was also a little surprised when he received a pot of elegant and delicate flowers.
He knew Rose, but...
The pot of roses in front of him is not big, and there are only three or four flower buds, but the open one is as red as blood, and it is as big as a palm, which is really eye-catching. The carefully cultivated roses he has seen before are the largest. It's about the size of a fist, and the color won't look so good.
This is the best pot Xu Changsheng chose, of course it looks good.
Li Chengqian looked at Gardenia again. This flower was something he had never seen before. It was white and clean, with a pleasant fragrance.
The letter said that it was cultivated by his "friend" during this season?
The letter was full of boasting, without the slightest hint of modesty.
Li Chengqian could even imagine the look of his short legs with his nostrils upturned.
The letter said that these two potted flowers can be directly grown indoors, which is really commendable. In the past, the flowers were all grown in the courtyard.
He is going to his queen's place now, and I heard that the queen has been in a bad mood these two days for some reason.
He ordered people to take good care of the two potted flowers and walked to the palace.
Empress Changsun is actually fine, she just misses the pot of gardenias and is still thinking about why she should visit Duke Lu's mansion again.
Of course, I just thought about it in my heart, as a queen, it is impossible to run to the courtier's house if there is nothing to do.
At this time, Li Chengqian just came in, "I heard that my mother is in a bad mood recently, Cheng Qian came to pay my respects to my mother."
Empress Changsun put away her sorrowful expression, "Chengqian is here, the queen mother is not in a bad mood, it's just a little sentimental."
In fact, she quite enjoyed this feeling. Since becoming a queen, she has been a role model for all women in the world, and she has no intention of being sentimental about a pot of flowers.
Li Chengqian said, "The queen mother still needs to pay more attention to her body."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Chengqian was about to leave.
Maybe it was the wind when I got up.
Empress Changsun twitched her nose, "Wait."
Li Chengqian was taken aback and turned around.
Empress Changsun frowned slightly, why did she smell a very familiar fragrance of flowers just now? "Chengqian, have you been to Duke Lu's mansion recently?"
Li Chengqian was slightly stunned, and replied, "No, why did the queen mother ask such a question?"
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Mrs. Cheng recently got a pot of strange flowers. I just smelled the fragrance of flowers in a trance. It must be an illusion. You can go down."
But Li Chengqian did not leave, "My queen, when it comes to flowers, my friend just sent two pots of exotic flowers today, one pot of delicate and fiery Chinese roses, with flowers the size of a palm, and one pot of pure white and flawless, with a delicate fragrance, but I don't know What kind of..."
Empress Changsun: "..."
It sounds like the latter is what she saw in Lu Guogong's mansion.
Li Chengqian also noticed the change in the expression on Empress Changsun's face, and said, "I'll send someone to bring the flowers right now."
Soon.
Two pots of flowers entered the harem from the East Palace and were placed in front of Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun's melancholy of the past few days was gone, "This pot of rose can be called the king of flowers, but the fragrance is a little stronger..."
"This pot is still better. It has a moderate fragrance, the color of the flower is white, and the body of ice and snow is like a gentleman among people."
"By the way, you just said that these two potted flowers were sent by your friend today, but that Xu family?"
Li Chengqian replied, "Exactly."
"To be able to grow this flower must be a person of high quality. It is my great fortune to be able to produce such a talented person with both character and learning."
Li Chengqian was stunned, high quality?Excellent in character and learning?
Just as she was about to say something, Empress Changsun said, "These two potted flowers are deeply in my heart, and they will bloom in the spring, which is a good omen for the Tang Dynasty. I have to invite my wives to come and watch..."
She knew that besides her, there were many wives who had envied Mrs. Lu Guogong's potted flowers for a long time.
As a result, the news that the empress invited people into the palace to enjoy the flowers quickly spread throughout Chang'an.
It is said that the flowers were presented by the prince to the empress.
The prince's flowers were given by his friend Xu Jiazi.
The queen empress even praised Xu Jiazi's noble character and excellent academic performance.
Now, the whole city of Chang'an is waiting eagerly for this good friend of the prince, a model scholar who is regarded as money like dung by the house minister, and the Xu family who is also praised by the empress to come to Chang'an Guozijian to study.
(Changsheng will enter Chang'an soon, I beg you to bookmark the author's column, and let the soap take off with your east wind.)
Then he pounced on a bunch of chicks.
To his surprise, these chickens were not afraid of people at all, but ran towards him instead.
Cheng Chu said silently, just right, he reached out to catch the chick.
But, behind the tree, a child wearing a tiger fur hat was holding a basin in his hand, and looked at him with blinking eyes.
It took Xu Changsheng a long time to react, and then he opened his voice and shouted fiercely, "Everyone, come and catch the chicken thief! Someone stole our chicken!"
Cheng Chumo was holding a chick, and then he was dumbfounded.
Chicken thief?
Aren't these chickens mountain pheasants?
Xu Changsheng didn't come to the back mountain alone, there was a group of children.
It didn't take long for the dignified son of Duke Lu's family to be surrounded by a group of children who were fierce and fierce, holding basins in their hands.
"Why are you like this? You actually stole our chickens. Even if our chickens look good, you can't steal them." A group of children began to besiege with their mouths.
Cheng Chumo is dark and strong, and has martial arts skills. If a group of adults dared to surround him like this, they would have punched him away, and then slowly reasoned.
But facing a group of children, his face turned red with embarrassment, thanks to his dark skin, he couldn't tell.
"These chickens are running all over the mountains, who said they belong to you?" Cheng Chumo said while blinking. He used to hunt on the mountains a lot.
A tiger-skin hat directly stepped forward, sprinkled the bean dregs in the basin in his hand on the ground, and then raised his little head high.
A group of chicks surrounded them.
Cheng Chumo: "..."
These children's pots are filled with bean dregs?Actually used to feed chickens?
Other people's chickens are released to find food for themselves, and they don't know what they can eat.
The lack of food in the Tang Dynasty is a well-known thing.
No wonder these chicks look so good.
A group of children raised their little heads, they were exactly the same, look, look, the chick belongs to their family.
Cheng Chumo couldn't argue with a group of children, so he put down the chicken in his hand.
Then after thinking about it, he took off the roe at his waist and handed it over, "I'm from Duke Lu's mansion in Chang'an. I'm really not greedy for your chickens. I thought it was just a pheasant in the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be raised by you. I lost my way in the mountain." , In this way, I will give you this roe, and you can point me back to Chang'an."
Duke Lu?
Isn't that Cheng Yaojin?The famous Demon King of Confusion.
Xu Changsheng sized this person up, looking at his clothes, he really didn't look like a chicken thief.
A group of children looked at Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng couldn't take his eyes off the deer he was handing over. This is authentic wild game. It's been a long time since he made a tooth sacrifice?Waiting for the chick to grow up every day, I'm so hungry for him.
Every day I ate something with clear soup and little water, and I started to feel dizzy.
He took the deer with twinkling eyes, and then pointed in one direction, "Go straight in this direction, and you will see the official road, and then follow the official road, and you will be able to return to Chang'an."
After speaking, he flung his calves and ran away. He had to go back and ask his aunt to stew the roe roe in the pot, so that he could eat it at night.
Cheng Chumo was about to leave, but his eyes shrank suddenly, and he took the bow off his back with his backhand, because a particularly strong tiger pounced on the group of children.
However, the eyeballs almost fell off immediately.
I saw the little tiger-skin cap climbed onto the back of the tiger, jumping and galloping across the mountains, like a ghost in the mountains.
The group of children didn't panic at all, they ran after the big tiger.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely think that they encountered a monster, and they would be scared to death.
But Cheng Chumo is courageous...
I took a look at the chickens all over the mountain...
He has never seen this scene before, and, that child can actually control a tiger...
Are these mountain children really small spirits?Could he have walked to some strange place by accident?
As expected of Cheng Chumo, he belonged to Duke Lu's mansion, such a weird incident aroused all his blood...
He wanted to see what was going on!Is there really a saying about mountain ghosts?
Cheng Chumo started to walk in the direction where Xu Changsheng and the others left.
It wasn't long before he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
There are rows of strange small red buildings in front of you, patchwork.
How much manpower and material resources would it take to polish such a small and delicate stone wall?And these houses are actually built with this kind of stone.
Running through the small building is a road like a white jade belt, which is unbelievably smooth. How can the road be so flat?Even the Suzaku Avenue in Chang'an is not so flat.
There are even more flowers blooming on both sides of the road, white dotted with red, just like a dream.
In addition, between each row of small buildings, the ground is paved with red stone blocks, and the plum tree in the middle is wrapped by a flat platform. From a distance, there are many old people sitting on the platform leisurely look...
I'm afraid he has arrived at some kind of fairy family paradise?
Even the energetic and courageous Cheng Chumo was shocked by the modern neighborhood.
He didn't move forward, but returned to Chang'an City along the road pointed by Xu Changsheng in a daze.
After Cheng Chumo returned to Chang'an, he didn't recover from the shock for a while.
Back in the mansion, when meeting familiar people, it is inevitable to share his unique experience.
This made Lu Guogong very anxious, and his son might be hysterical.
Cheng Yaojin has a bad temper, he slapped Cheng Chumo on the face, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Cheng Chumo was very aggrieved, why did no one believe him!
The news that the young master of Duke Lu's family met a tiger-riding immortal on the mountain was passed on by some gossip woman. The news was so serious that basically the whole of Chang'an knew about it.

Regardless of those pig and dog friends who were not used to Cheng Chumo before, they all invited to the house, hoping to enlighten her son.
Among them, Qin Huaiyu, the leader of the pig friends and dog friends, brought good wine to the door, "You don't really have hysteria, do you? I don't think it looks like it, haha, it's still very strong."
Cheng Chumo drank bowl after bowl of wine, feeling aggrieved because no one believed his words.
Said, "When did I, Cheng Chumo, tell a lie? I have seen the beautiful red building, the white jade belt-like road surrounded by flowers, and the tiger-skin hat riding a tiger. If not Seeing it with my own eyes, I can’t even make it up.”
Qin Huaiyu was stunned when he heard this, this brother is really hysterical, no, as the best brother, how can he see his brother in a daze!
His brother has to wake up!
Qin Huaiyu rolled his eyes and said, "Do you still remember the way? Why don't you take me to see it too?"
Only by letting him know the truth will he get better.
Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up. These people didn't believe him. He could let them see it for themselves. After thinking about it, it shouldn't be too far away.
Cheng Chumo stood up abruptly, then pulled Qin Huaiyu and ran outside.
The two took their horses and walked away all the way.
Qin Huaiyu thought in his heart that he had done everything for his brother. If people found out, they would gallop to find some immortal, and they would laugh at him to death, thinking that he also had hysteria.
All the way fast, there is no rest at all.
In about two hours, they arrived at their destination.
"Is this the blessed land of the immortal family you mentioned?" Qin Huaiyu pointed to the thatched cottage in front of him.
Cheng Chumo frowned. He was shocked last time and left recklessly, only remembering the approximate location.
"It's time to wake up now? This is a poor mountain village, and it is everywhere in the ten counties of the Tang Dynasty. How could you say that..." Qin Huaiyu said.
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo said, "No, it should still be inside."
Qin Huaiyu shook his head, but it's all here, let's go a little further, so that his brother can give up.
Started walking inside again.
Then a gust of wind blew.
"Do you smell something?"
Qin Huaiyu was also taken aback, it was a floral fragrance, a very refreshing floral fragrance.
Cheng Chumo ran up.
Qin Huaiyu also followed, then stood beside Cheng Chumo, and looked up.
The whole person is more dumbfounded than Cheng Chumo.
what is this……?
Broad roads, white jade like a dragon, and fragrant flowers on the side of the road...
Far away, there is an exquisite red building.
Qin Huaiyu was really stupid.
And Cheng Chumo, even if it wasn't the first time he saw it, was still surprised, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? Tell you, in this back mountain, there are strong chickens all over the mountain."
"This..." Qin Huaiyu hadn't recovered yet.
"Let's go, let's take you in to find the little fairy who drives the tiger." Cheng Chumo said.
Qin Huaiyu pulled Cheng Chumo back, "How do you know it's a fairy, not a mountain spirit?"
"This?" Cheng Chumo was taken aback.
"Let's go back first and come back when we bring enough people," Qin Huaiyu said.
Cheng Chumo, however, was a little unwilling and left just like that. Turning his eyes, he ran to the white jade-like roadside, and picked up a pot of gardenias, "It's actually packed in a pot. It just so happens. I'll take it back as a souvenir."
Qin Huaiyu also stepped forward and hugged a pot, "It's actually blooming at this time, and the fragrance is intoxicating. My mother will definitely like it, so I'll take a pot home too."
So the two left with a pot of gardenias in their arms.
At this moment, a child from Xujia Village named Erdan was holding half a bucket of water in his hand, ready to water his fairy grasses. He really liked these fairy grasses. I can't wait to watch it more than a dozen times a day.
Erdan looked at the two missing flower pots on the ground, and at the two horses that were gone, and cried "Wow", big tears, never been so sad.
Then turned around and ran away, "Wow, Changchangsheng, my grass jelly is gone..."
Xu Changsheng was taken aback by the crying bastard, "Does that mean two men on horses stole the flowers?"
What the hell, there is a horse to ride, why come to steal his flowers?
Erdan nodded all the time, couldn't stop crying, it was so hateful that he actually stole his fairy grass and gave back two pots... He watered it every day to take care of it before it bloomed.
"Don't cry, it's just two potted flowers." Xu Changsheng comforted.
"It's my jelly... Wow!"
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Let Erdan go to the valley to hold two pots of flowers by himself, which made him smile through tears, it seems that this child is so sad...
However, who is it that steals flowers from the green belt...!It's too embarrassing, I despise him, next time I see him, I have to poke him with a pole!
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu returned to Cheng Mansion, gathered some guards, and prepared to set off again.
After they were military commanders, they were just young, courageous and curious.
But he was stopped when he went out.
The person blocking the way was Cheng Yaojin, who was a big-bodied and rough-skinned man, "Little bastard, I heard that you rode your horses on the street in the morning? It's so majestic. Today, Yushi pointed at my old face and scolded me bloody. "
Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, "..."
In the morning, I was thinking about going out of the city, as if...
Cheng Yaojin looked at the guards at the back again, "Where are you going? You're riding horses in the city and you're hysterical. Even His Majesty called me to ask, isn't it enough?"
After finishing speaking, he said to Cheng Chumo, "You are not allowed to go anywhere today, stay at home, and tomorrow is your mother's birthday, and the empress will also come, so you can try again and see if I don't break your leg. "
After finishing speaking, he cursed one after another and left.
As a result, Cheng Chumo was locked up, and Xujiacun must not be able to go.
But the two made an appointment to go again next time.
Cheng Chumo was put in confinement, and Mrs. Cheng rushed over after hearing the news.
It is said that although Cheng Yaojin is a general of five ranks and three vulgar generals, Mrs. Cheng comes from a family and is a real lady of the family, so I don't know how to think of Cheng Yaojin.
Mrs. Cheng pushed open the door and was about to speak when she suddenly moved her nose, "What's the smell? It's so fragrant?"
Cheng Chumo was planning how many people he should bring to Xujia Village next time, when he saw his mother come in, he pointed to the side, "It's just a pot of broken flowers, which bloom quite fragrantly."
Mrs. Cheng is not a group of rough men from the old Cheng family. She couldn't help being stunned when she saw the pot of gardenias in full bloom. It's only spring and the trees are just beginning to sprout. Where did the flowers come from?
The smell of this flower is really good, and the body of the flower is white and elegant.
So, after saying a few words, he happily left with flowers in his arms.
This flower was left to his son to ruin, and he probably died in a few days, so it's better to let her keep it.
Mrs. Cheng hugged the flowers and went back to her room. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. Tomorrow is her birthday. She did not expect to get such a good gift today.
The next day, the city of Chang'an was also very lively.
On Mrs. Lu Guogong's birthday, the wives of high-ranking officials and aristocrats will basically be there. It is said that even Empress Changsun will attend in person.
The relationship between Li Shimin and these generals is very good, because he used to be a general in armor.
After a day of preparation, Duke Lu's mansion was bustling.
In the inner boudoir, Empress Changsun was talking with a group of ladies.
While talking, I don't know who mentioned Cheng Chumo, "Mrs. Cheng, I heard that your son Chumo got hysteria, don't you know it's better?"
Mrs. Cheng was taken aback, a little unhappy, who would want others to say that her son had hysteria, even if she really cared, just ask in private, how could she say it in front of so many people?Even if there is no hysteria, there must be hysteria.
Mrs. Cheng said, "I don't know where the gossip came from. My son is very quiet. Why is there no hysteria? No, yesterday he gave me a pot of fragrant flowers!"
Everyone was taken aback, where did the flowers come from in this season?Mrs. Cheng is afraid that she is panicking in order to maintain her son.
A group of ladies looked at each other and smiled without saying anything. Everyone has a son. As a mother, I understand!
However, the voice sounded again, "Mrs. Cheng really has a filial son, which is enviable. He is not like my son. I don't know what birthday gift to prepare. However, Mrs. Cheng said just now that Chu Mo's gift is a pot of flowers. This makes people curious, I wonder if I can take it out and have a look?"
Mrs. Cheng glanced at the person who spoke, she was the wife of Duke Xiang, and she usually did not deal with her.
At this time, Empress Changsun saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and she muttered to herself, why is Mrs. Xiangguo picking things on other people's birthdays, and she was about to say a word of relief.
Mrs. Cheng's voice came, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the inner room to get it right away, let everyone taste the gift silently from my son!"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, could there really be flowers?How is this possible, the heavy snow in winter has drowned out all the greenery.
Even Empress Changsun was a little surprised, but Mrs. Cheng's tone did not seem fake.
The close wife began to discuss in a low voice.
Mrs. Xiangguo frowned, she still didn't believe what Mrs. Cheng said was true.
At this time, footsteps sounded in the inner room.
Before the person came out, a faint scent of flowers spread out.
Now is the time when this pot of gardenias is in full bloom, and the smell is very quiet.
Empress Changsun was surprised, it smelled so pleasant.
Because of her perennial physical discomfort, she didn't smell the fragrance of flowers very much, but the fragrance of flowers was elegant, and it smelled very comfortable.
At this time, Mrs. Cheng came out with flowers.
"This……"
"It's really a blooming flower. The fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, but it's not pungent. It's very elegant."
"Yeah, I've seen quite a few flowers before, either the flowers are pretty but the smell is pungent, or they are just a little bit of small flowers that lose their charm."
"There is also this color, which is extremely white. I think those Wen Xianggong also like it."
"It's rare that it's opened so well in this period."
Empress Changsun couldn't help boasting, "Madam is really lucky, and Chu Mo is sensible. I have never received such a good gift."
Whether it's the color or the scent, she likes it all.
She likes farming, and she has opened up a piece of land in the harem to plant.
So she also likes flowers, but she can't stand the smell of other flowers, which smells so pleasant like this flower.
Mrs. Cheng smiled, "It's rare that the queen empress likes it, so give it to the empress."
Empress Changsun was taken aback for a moment, she liked it, but she didn't have the habit of stealing others' favors, she said with a smile, "What about Madam, it's Chu Mo's heart, as a mother, you should cherish it."
A group of ladies admired it around a pot of flowers, almost boasting to the sky.
In the whole banquet, a pot of flowers stole the limelight.
The next day, the news that Mrs. Lu Guogong got a wonderful flower on her birthday also spread throughout Chang'an, which made people amazed.
After Empress Changsun returned to the palace, for some reason, she always thought of the smell of the flower, as if her nose was recalling its fragrance.
Especially after a day or two, I can't remember the smell of the flower fragrance, but I think about it even more.
His Majesty Li Er noticed the abnormality, so he couldn't help asking.
Empress Changsun told the story again.
His Majesty Li Er was also amazed.
But one of the two is a holy emperor, and the other is a virtuous queen whose mother honors the world, and it is impossible for others to send flowers, so they have to let it go.
At this time, in Xujia Village, Xu Changsheng was writing a letter, of course to his good friend of Tang Dynasty, Brother Gao Ming.
As for why write?
The gardenias and roses he planted are blooming, so of course I have to take a look.
After writing the letter, I went to the valley to choose the best pots of gardenias and roses, and then handed them over to my uncle who was going to Chang'an, and helped them send them to the Changsun Mansion.
Xu Changsheng is preparing to go to the Chang'an Guozijian, because it will be the time for the Guozijian to start soon.
However, there is now a very serious problem to be solved.
That is, what about his Dabai?
Now Dabai is getting more and more clingy, and he never leaves him at all.
He even went to try it out and sneaked out of Xujia Village, but as soon as he got out, he was caught by Dabai.
Dabai obviously regarded Xujiacun as its territory, and after Xu Changsheng sneaked out of the territory, he would be taken back.
You can't go out unless you take it with you.
"What should we do?" Xu Changsheng sighed a little.
It doesn't matter if he goes to the Imperial College to study, he doesn't want to take the imperial examination, but he is studying according to the order, so it's okay if he doesn't go.
Unstoppable!
……
Li Chengqian was also a little surprised when he received a pot of elegant and delicate flowers.
He knew Rose, but...
The pot of roses in front of him is not big, and there are only three or four flower buds, but the open one is as red as blood, and it is as big as a palm, which is really eye-catching. The carefully cultivated roses he has seen before are the largest. It's about the size of a fist, and the color won't look so good.
This is the best pot Xu Changsheng chose, of course it looks good.
Li Chengqian looked at Gardenia again. This flower was something he had never seen before. It was white and clean, with a pleasant fragrance.
The letter said that it was cultivated by his "friend" during this season?
The letter was full of boasting, without the slightest hint of modesty.
Li Chengqian could even imagine the look of his short legs with his nostrils upturned.
The letter said that these two potted flowers can be directly grown indoors, which is really commendable. In the past, the flowers were all grown in the courtyard.
He is going to his queen's place now, and I heard that the queen has been in a bad mood these two days for some reason.
He ordered people to take good care of the two potted flowers and walked to the palace.
Empress Changsun is actually fine, she just misses the pot of gardenias and is still thinking about why she should visit Duke Lu's mansion again.
Of course, I just thought about it in my heart, as a queen, it is impossible to run to the courtier's house if there is nothing to do.
At this time, Li Chengqian just came in, "I heard that my mother is in a bad mood recently, Cheng Qian came to pay my respects to my mother."
Empress Changsun put away her sorrowful expression, "Chengqian is here, the queen mother is not in a bad mood, it's just a little sentimental."
In fact, she quite enjoyed this feeling. Since becoming a queen, she has been a role model for all women in the world, and she has no intention of being sentimental about a pot of flowers.
Li Chengqian said, "The queen mother still needs to pay more attention to her body."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Chengqian was about to leave.
Maybe it was the wind when I got up.
Empress Changsun twitched her nose, "Wait."
Li Chengqian was taken aback and turned around.
Empress Changsun frowned slightly, why did she smell a very familiar fragrance of flowers just now? "Chengqian, have you been to Duke Lu's mansion recently?"
Li Chengqian was slightly stunned, and replied, "No, why did the queen mother ask such a question?"
Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Mrs. Cheng recently got a pot of strange flowers. I just smelled the fragrance of flowers in a trance. It must be an illusion. You can go down."
But Li Chengqian did not leave, "My queen, when it comes to flowers, my friend just sent two pots of exotic flowers today, one pot of delicate and fiery Chinese roses, with flowers the size of a palm, and one pot of pure white and flawless, with a delicate fragrance, but I don't know What kind of..."
Empress Changsun: "..."
It sounds like the latter is what she saw in Lu Guogong's mansion.
Li Chengqian also noticed the change in the expression on Empress Changsun's face, and said, "I'll send someone to bring the flowers right now."
Soon.
Two pots of flowers entered the harem from the East Palace and were placed in front of Empress Changsun.
Empress Changsun's melancholy of the past few days was gone, "This pot of rose can be called the king of flowers, but the fragrance is a little stronger..."
"This pot is still better. It has a moderate fragrance, the color of the flower is white, and the body of ice and snow is like a gentleman among people."
"By the way, you just said that these two potted flowers were sent by your friend today, but that Xu family?"
Li Chengqian replied, "Exactly."
"To be able to grow this flower must be a person of high quality. It is my great fortune to be able to produce such a talented person with both character and learning."
Li Chengqian was stunned, high quality?Excellent in character and learning?
Just as she was about to say something, Empress Changsun said, "These two potted flowers are deeply in my heart, and they will bloom in the spring, which is a good omen for the Tang Dynasty. I have to invite my wives to come and watch..."
She knew that besides her, there were many wives who had envied Mrs. Lu Guogong's potted flowers for a long time.
As a result, the news that the empress invited people into the palace to enjoy the flowers quickly spread throughout Chang'an.
It is said that the flowers were presented by the prince to the empress.
The prince's flowers were given by his friend Xu Jiazi.
The queen empress even praised Xu Jiazi's noble character and excellent academic performance.
Now, the whole city of Chang'an is waiting eagerly for this good friend of the prince, a model scholar who is regarded as money like dung by the house minister, and the Xu family who is also praised by the empress to come to Chang'an Guozijian to study.
(Changsheng will enter Chang'an soon, I beg you to bookmark the author's column, and let the soap take off with your east wind.)
