Chapter 151: Poppy
The Su family has been indisputable over the years, and imitated Tao Yuanming's artistic conception of seeing Nanshan leisurely in the Jin Dynasty, and planted dozens of acres of chrysanthemum gardens. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Nowadays, the spring is fragrant, the chrysanthemum seedlings in the garden are green and lush, and there are several rows of greenhouses and greenhouses, which is a beautiful scenery that cannot be seen at a glance. Wen Wan followed the sisters in the clan and visited a lot of places in one afternoon, and naturally there were unexpected gains.
Wen Wan hid this section, knowing that Chu Zhaohui liked flowers, so she walked and told Chu Zhaohui about those purple and red flower beds, and Chu Zhaohui's eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and a soft smile bloomed.
Chu Zhaohui is a surviving person, it is always difficult to wander around in the clan, although he yearns for those flower beds, but he never wants to see them, and when the girls in the clan come to ask Wen Wan to go out, Chu Zhaohui encourages her to play for a while with peace of mind.
Usually after dinner, Wen Wan always accompanied Chu Zhaohui to eat and walk, but after today's meal, Wen Wan stood up apologetically: "I have walked a lot today, and I am tired, my daughter will retire first, and I will accompany my mother tomorrow." ”
Chu Zhaohui naturally didn't force her to stay, and responded again and again. He instructed her to go to bed early when she was tired, and ordered someone to turn on the lamp and carry her back to her room with an umbrella.
It's so gentle that it's not really tired, but I'm just worried about the seedlings I picked up from the fields deep in the chrysanthemum garden in the afternoon, and I always feel that the field is not like chrysanthemums, although the seedlings are as green, but they have a strange fragrance.
In order to prevent the sisters in the clan from being suspicious, she loosened the tie of her purse, pretended to pick up the purse, picked one while no one was prepared, and hid it in her sleeve.
Taking advantage of the dead of night, Wen Wan cut the candles, and wanted to study carefully, what kind of seedlings were they.
The rain became more and more dripping in the middle of the night. Listening to the night rain knocking on the window outside the window, Chu Zhaohui was sleepless all night. One by one, one by one, I went back to the old house in my mind like a shadow puppet, and suddenly remembered the Xifu begonia I saw in the afternoon.
Chu Zhaohui suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, Chu Zhaohui felt that her husband actually missed the old mansion, but for some reason, she didn't want to return, and she was not allowed to get close to her son and the old mansion.
The room was not cold, and there was a silver silk frost charcoal in the corner to wrap the brazier, Chu Zhaohui was full of worries, lying on the rosewood stepping bed, still feeling a chill down her spine, and she silently hugged the brocade quilt on her body.
The night rain is like a curtain, so thick that it can't be dissolved, and all kinds of abnormalities that have not been noticed in the past seem to be magnified tonight. Chu Zhaohui didn't dare to think deeply, only felt as if he was shrouded in a cold darkness, and never touched her husband's thoughts.
The second watch was very ten, Wen Wan finally figured out what the little seedling she got back was, she sighed lightly, wiped the sweat on her forehead, but her expression became solemn.
After searching to no avail, Wen Wan was still suspicious of the strange aroma. She gently pinched a section, carefully put it in her mouth, and tasted the taste of the plant, which was not the stalk of a chrysanthemum at all.
It turned out that her suspicions were not unfounded, and this little seedling, which was exactly the same as a chrysanthemum, was really a poppy.
The Su family planted dozens of acres of chrysanthemum orchards, and cultivated poppies with the same shape as chrysanthemum seedlings in the depths of the chrysanthemum garden, which were grandly raised in the greenhouse and planted in the ground.
According to rough estimates, if that piece of opium poppy is made into Fushou paste, the amount is extremely considerable.
The matter is big, the Su family's old mansion is full of weirdness, and Wen Wan's heart is uneasy. She didn't dare to reveal anything, so she put half of the seedling in her purse and put it away, just thinking about going back quickly and sharing the secret with Murong Wei.
And in Qinglian Terrace, because Xiao Luochen was not there, Xia Yuzhi's doubts were not negotiable. He stayed awake all night, took a pot of Huadiao and drank it alone, digesting the news given by Murong Wei.
Huadiao added ginger and brown sugar, and after the sweetness was the spicy entrance, so spicy that Xia Yuzhi wanted to cry, but his eyes were dry.
Murong Wei said that she came from sixteen years later, and Xia Yuzhi didn't want to believe it.
But she cried blood every word, there were rules to follow, and her words couldn't be half hypocritical.
Is there really some secret in my grandmother's yard? Why did he never know? Xia Yuzhi lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, speechless, but suddenly found something that he had ignored for many years.
Shoukang Palace and Huanxi Hall, I have been in and out many times, but only now I realize that although the momentum of Shoukang Palace is more magnificent, the layout and terrain of the two places are somewhat similar.
Whether it is those towering trees, the wide cross road, or the green bamboo beside the road, as well as the tall rockery, it is like a pattern.
Huanxi Hall is a Shoukang Palace that has been doubled and shrunk, and the two places live in the Huanbi Shuangshu of the year, is it a coincidence, or a mystery?
Especially special, Shoukang Palace and Huanxi Hall are full of water, that is, there are two jade belts around the wall, and they are connected to several acres of square ponds that communicate with each other.
I once heard my mother tell me that my grandmother was very water-oriented, and when she was young, she could swim dozens of miles in one breath with a reed pipe in her mouth for ventilation.
Grandmother is brave, and her ability to lead a team of dead soldiers to fight on the water is unparalleled, and she has made many military exploits, and has been on the merit book of the first emperor.
After the establishment of Xixia, my grandfather became a cabinet elder, and my grandmother went home to be an old feudal monarch, saying that she did not listen to the government, but in fact, she would enter the palace every three or five days to discuss with the queen mother.
At that time, his mother, Shen, felt that Huanxi Hall was cold in all seasons and was not suitable for grandmothers to live in. When I asked my grandmother to move, my grandmother sternly refused. She said that she had long been accustomed to the cold, and she liked the open terrain of Huanxi Hall more, and she was most reluctant to leave this water.
My grandmother guarded the clear stream of Huanxi Hall, and ordered people to keep the ponds in good order, and no matter how hot the weather was, no one was allowed to go into the water here.
Xia Yuzhi remembered that in the summer when he was a child, when the brothers were still young, they went to greet their grandmother, and when they went outside to see the pool full of clear water, they moved the idea of going into the water to cool off.
The water of Huanxi Hall is turquoise and clear, and you can see the bottom at a glance. Although the brothers were greedy, they didn't dare in the end, so they only pleaded with the youngest to go into the water first.
They took advantage of the unpreparedness to sneak behind the pond, and everyone took off their coats and plunged to the bottom of the water.
Before he could enjoy the coolness of the pool water, let alone the envy of his brothers, Xia Yuzhi was caught by his grandmother who flew in.
Grandmother's face was as black as a altar, and he climbed ashore from the water with a disgraced face, and Grandmother picked up the cane in her hand and smashed it hard, so that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak.
Grandmother had always been kind to their grandchildren, and that was the only time she did it to him. In the ancestral hall where he knelt with his brothers all night that day, not only the Marquis of Kangping and his wife, but also the elder Xia Ge did not dare to ask for half a sentence.
The water in Huanxi Hall is a forbidden place that grandmother refuses to let people touch, is there a secret path hidden that Murong Wei said? Or is it connected to Shoukang Palace by water? )
