Chapter 43: Finally Progress
There are about two or three acres of fields in the garden, and there are some unknown flowers and plants planted in the fields, which cannot be seen clearly from a distance. There are several thatched huts not far from the door of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, and there are forty or fifty vigorous small osmanthus trees planted in front of the house.
There was an old man, probably a Qin craftsman, who was pruning in front of the flowers, and when he heard the sound, he turned his head to look at the crowd. Seeing that everyone was just standing at the gate of the courtyard and not entering, he turned his head unappetly and continued to work.
Tian Fu was a little embarrassed, and was about to reprimand, when Chu Shuhuang waved his hand.
Looking from afar, those osmanthus branches spread out, have taken shape, continue to prune within two months, will certainly be able to be rich and full, more charm. Chu Shuhuang was very satisfied, she could imagine how spectacular these osmanthus flowers would be when her grandmother celebrated her birthday.
After staying in the Grange for two more days, they returned to Anguo Mansion, and after dinner, Chu Shuhuang practiced calligraphy alone in the study as usual, and Qinghe and others waited outside the house.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door of the study, and Chu Shuhuang knew that Qinghe and the others did not dare to disturb her if they were not in a hurry. She put down her pen and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The door opened silently, and a man dressed in a royal blue multicolored embroidered silver stripe robe entered, wearing a jade red and gold crown, his eyes were bright, plump and handsome, with the momentum of a blind eye. Chu Shuhuang looked at the man blankly, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, the man walked closer, touched Chu Shuhuang's head across the table and said, "Huang'er, good Huang'er, the eldest brother sees you coming." ”
Chu Shuhuang turned out from behind the table, came to the table and hugged King Sheng and cried. Unexpectedly, my dear little sister reacted so strongly, King Sheng calmed the sourness in his heart for a while, and gently patted Chu Shuhuang's back and comforted: "Huang'er doesn't cry, Huang'er doesn't cry, the eldest brother loves you the most." ”
"You're a liar!" Chu Shuhuang said while crying.
"Don't lie, the eldest brother of Huang'er crying is the most distressed. Let's not write that word, when you want to go out of the palace to play, when you want to go out of the palace, okay? ”
"Not good!"
King Sheng paused for a moment, "That Huang'er said, Huang'er can do whatever he wants." ”
Chu Shuhuang muttered, "I want you to promise me one thing!" ”
"What's the matter?" King Sheng said curiously.
Chu Shuhuang suppressed his crying, raised his head, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "You find two people for me, I want them to go to the border to buy me horses and open a horse farm, and I want to sell horses in the capital to make money." ”
"Hahaha-" King Sheng was amused by Chu Shuhuang's immature words, "Why did you think of this?" ”
Chu Shuhuang said proudly: "Because no one else sells, I can make a lot of money by selling." I'm going to build a horse farm on the Xihu side, and then a horse farm in Saibei, you can find me a good one!" Chu Shuhuang's big wet eyes stared at King Sheng.
King Sheng's eyes flashed with a different color and said, "Okay! ”
Chu Shuhuang burst into tears and laughed, turned around and poured a cup of tea for King Sheng, and cared about the recent situation of the eldest emperor: "Eldest brother, have you been busy lately?" ”
King Sheng was reluctant to talk to Chu Shuhuang about the affairs of the court, and after dealing with it vaguely, he asked, "When will you return to the palace?" ”
"I'm almost done with those words, and when I'm done, I'll go back."
"No need to write it."
Chu Shuhuang said seriously: "Then how can I not listen to what the eldest brother said?" It's almost over, and it won't take long. After speaking, he blinked proudly.
King Sheng saw that Chu Shuhuang was really not angry, so he was relieved, said another conversation, and left.
When practicing martial arts in the early morning of the next day, Hua Chang did not fight with Chu Shuhuang as usual, but taught a set of internal skills called "Yuehua Phantom". This set of "Moonlight Phantom" is specially suitable for women to practice, the front is the internal strength of the mind, and the back is the light work on the basis of the internal strength.
Hua Chang taught Chu Shuhuang step by step to cross her knees, meditate, and breathe and pranayama, and explained to her some precautions when she usually practiced. By the time Chu Shuhuang returned to Yinglan Pavilion, the rough envoy in the courtyard was already cleaning the courtyard.
Chu Shuhuang lay down gently, took two deep breaths, suppressed the joy in his heart, and finally made progress, and he still needs to practice hard to achieve something in the future. I don't know if it's because I'm too excited or because of practicing internal strength, Chu Shuhuang only slept for more than an hour before waking up, which is too much different from a normal morning's sleep.
After breakfast, Chu Shuhuang changed into men's clothes, took Mama Zhang, Qinghe, and Qingliu into the carriage and went out. Zhan Rong took seven or eight plainclothes guards, and followed not far or close.
Chu Shuhuang's clothes and jewelry, all of them are made in the palace, no matter the fineness of the workmanship or the preciousness of the raw materials, they are not comparable to the things in the store. So they came from Suzaku Street, and along the way, Chu Shuhuang just watched from inside the carriage and didn't mean to stop.
After a while, he came to Yingxia Pavilion again, got out of the car in the backyard, Chu Shuhuang asked Mama Zhang to go to see Yu Xiuniang and the others, and he came to the second floor both excited and bored.
The elegant decoration on the second floor did not attract Chu Shuhuang, he was idle, sitting in front of the window, looking at the rows of roofs and pavilions, and he really couldn't find anything interesting. Chu Shuhuang regretted running out rashly, instead of wasting time here, it was better to write some big characters at home.
Chu Shuhuang walked around the room, unable to think of any good ideas, and just as she was about to go back, Qinghe gently approached: "Childe, Miss Jiang is here." ”
"Oh, let her come up."
After a while, Jiang Li ran up with a roll of rice paper in his hand and was full of energy: "Ah Lin! ”
Chu Shuhuang turned around, smiled slightly, pointed to the chair beside him, and motioned for Jiang Li to sit down. Jiang Li sat next to Chu Shuhuang, opened the rice paper in his hand and let Chu Shuhuang look at it: "Ah Lin, look at this painting." ”
The picture scroll unfolds, and it is an endless grassland, but at the end of the grassland, you can see clear snow-capped mountains, undulating continuously. On the grassland, herdsmen are grazing their sheep on horses, and the yellow city stands in the distance, and a line of camel caravans can be seen in the distance, carrying heavy goods. The painting is supposed to be sunset, with long shadows dragging on both living and inanimate images.
Quiet and leisurely, it is the life of the herdsmen, and it is also soaked in a strong sense of happiness.
Jiang Li said happily on the side: "This is the scenery over there in Qingchuan, my mother also made such paintings for me when I was a child, you see if they are very beautiful." ”
"Well, that's good, where did you get it, did you draw it?" This rice paper and pen and ink look like it doesn't take long to make it.
"I didn't draw it, I couldn't make it this good. When I first arrived, I saw a man selling paintings on the side of the road, so I hurriedly bought them. That person must have come from Qingchuan to catch the exam! ”
"Isn't the spring festival already over?" Chu Shuhuang asked suspiciously.
Hearing Chu Shuhuang's words, Jiang Li's excited face also revealed a few wisps of sorrow: "Every year, there are people who stay in the capital like this. Most of these people have a long way to go, and they have traveled thousands of miles to the capital, maybe they didn't get in, maybe they didn't catch up with the Spring Festival. But his family is poor and he doesn't have much travel expenses, so he wants to take the exam again next year in the capital. ”
