Chapter 194: Zhuangzi

Chapter 194 Zhuangzi

Lan Chu and the girls and mothers-in-law had already come out from afar, Li Xiaonuan glanced at the small bamboo sedan chair carried over by the two mothers-in-law, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and said with a smile:

"You take me in? Let's take a look at this scenery while walking? ”

"Let's let them carry you in first, after dinner, it's not too late for us to come out and walk slowly, it's the end of noon at this time."

Cheng Ke laughed, Li Xiaonuan let out an "oh", and laughed too,

"If you don't tell me, I don't feel hungry."

Li Xiaonuan said as she got on the small bamboo sedan chair, and two very small brass furnaces were also supported in the two corners of the sedan chair, which made the sedan chair warm.

The sedan chair walked steadily but very quickly, and went in for about a quarter of an hour, entered several doors, and stopped in an exquisite courtyard.

Li Xiaonuan and Cheng Ke got off the sedan chair, Cheng Ke pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile:

"Look at this courtyard, is it to your liking? This is the most delicate courtyard in the Zhuangzi, there is an eye hot spring behind the courtyard, only this hot spring in the Zhuangzi is directly gushing out from the ground, and other places are drawn out from here, I think you must like it, so let people clean up this place. ”

Li Xiaonuan turned his head to look around, the courtyard was a color of pink walls and green tiles, beams, columns, and railings were only varnished, and the carvings everywhere were delicate and complicated, and there was a pomegranate tree that grew very vigorously on one side of the hanging flower door, and the red pomegranate was still left on the tree, and the branches were bent down, and there were a few places that almost hung to the ground, Li Xiaonuan laughed, pointed to the pomegranate tree, turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, Cheng Ke stepped forward and picked up a very large pomegranate and picked it off, handed it to Li Xiaonuan, and said with a smile:

"You also think too much, this Zhuangzi is famous for pomegranates hundreds of years ago, it is very famous in the capital, pomegranate trees are planted everywhere, this yard is better, you go to Zhuangzi to see, there are pomegranate trees everywhere."

Li Xiaonuan squinted his eyes and laughed, the ancestor of the Cheng family probably bought this Zhuangzi because of the production of such good pomegranates here, and he wanted to ask for this auspiciousness.

Cheng Ke looked at the smiling Li Xiaonuan, shook his head with a smile, Li Xiaonuan ignored him, held the heavy pomegranate, and walked with Cheng Ke along the verandah with a smile and walked side by side to the main house.

Around the courtyard, flowers and trees grow according to the topography of the house, as if they should have been there, as it should be, and those flowers and plants that grow from the cracks between the stones and trees are also in accordance with natural nature, and they grow into all kinds of things, and there are almost no traces of artificial trimming.

After entering a pendulum gate, the arm-thick rose vines covered the weeping flower gate, and then fell down from both sides of the weeping flower gate, and the vines were crowded and crowded together, and countless bright red and purple roses bloomed lively, as brilliant as clouds.

Li Xiaonuan was speechless with surprise on his face, only pulled Cheng Ke, shook his arm, and pointed to the brilliant clouds in front of him that bloomed at the beginning of winter, signaling him to take a look.

Cheng Ke looked down at the happy Li Xiaonuan with a smile, and didn't care about the group of girls and mothers-in-law who followed behind him, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Li Xiaonuan's waist, hugged her in his arms, looked at her and said with a smile:

"This rose is the most pungent in the flowers, this is only the end of September, it is still warm, this place is sunny and windless, at the end of October last year, this rose also bloomed a lot of flowers, if you like this, go back and plant a few in our yard, but two or three years, it will grow better than this."

Li Xiaonuan nodded again and again, looked up at Cheng Ke, and said with a smile:

"Good! Go back and plant a few in our yard, and you can see such lively flowers all year round, how festive!"

Li Xiaonuan paused, his eyes curved into a line, and then said:

"This rose is just like me!"

Cheng Ke laughed, hugged her in a circle, leaned over her ear and whispered:

"Except that it's not as good-looking as you, this pungent and ruthless energy is a bit like it."

Cheng Ke put down Li Xiaonuan, hugged her and spoke in a low voice, and slowly walked into the main house along the verandah.

Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan entered the house, Li Xiaonuan turned around and looked around, and happily commanded the bamboo leaves,

"I filled the water with a glass saucer and found a place to put it so that the house would not dry out and make people uncomfortable."

"It's already set."

Bamboo leaf replied with a smile and bent his knees,

"If there is a fire in the house, the young lady has to order the water saucers, this is the old rule, remember it a long time ago."

Li Xiaonuan nodded with a smile, Cheng Ke became strange,

"What's the point of lighting a fire and putting water dishes?"

"Don't ask, it's going to be a while, and I can't tell you clearly, hurry up and wash up, let's eat, well, I smell the smell of food at this time, and I feel hungry."

Cheng Ke smiled and went into the clean room in the back to wash, Li Xiaonuan washed up, combed his hair again, changed into a green and yellow silk tight short jacket, a gold cloud satin skirt of the same color, turned out, Cheng Ke had already cleaned up, changed into a silver gray silk gown, and was sitting on the couch under the south window of the east wing, flipping through the book and waiting for her.

After the two of them ate, Li Xiaonuan was about to go out with excitement, Cheng Ke also got up with high spirits, jumped off the accommodation, looked Li Xiaonuan up and down, and said with a smile:

"This Zhuangzi is huge, if you walk, I'm afraid that you won't be able to walk for a while, it's better to change your clothes for riding, and I'll take you around on horseback."

Li Xiaonuan nodded again and again in agreement, jumped up and ran to the inside, the jade buckle combed Li Xiaonuan's hair bun again, Zhu Qing took a set of red riding clothes, a pair of red sheepskin digging clouds and pinching gold cloud boots came out, several people waited neatly for Li Xiaonuan to change, and took a gray squirrel cloak out, Li Xiaonuan tied the cloak and came out, Cheng Ke had already changed into a set of silver and white riding clothes, Li Xiaonuan took the cloak handed by the bamboo leaves and put it on to Cheng Ke, the two went out of the courtyard gate, Luo Chuan pulled the horse, and was already waiting outside the courtyard gate.

Cheng Ke got on the horse, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xiaonuan to sit in front of him, shook the reins slightly, and the horse ran forward slowly.

Cheng Ke took Li Xiaonuan and walked slowly along Zhuangzi, pointing around and saying to her as he walked:

“…… That mountain stretches past, it is Qi Mountain, it is outside the boundary of the capital, this racecourse to the east, the terrain and scenery are much better than ours here, there are several mountains, the forest is prosperous, the scenery is excellent, they are all Huangzhuang, a total of four places, King Cheng and Xiaojing each occupy a big Zhuangzi, King Xin also has a place Zhuangzi there, is the smallest of several Zhuangzi, but the scenery is the best, a Zhuangzi has a monopoly of three hot springs, Zhuangzi can lead the hot spring water everywhere, the most slanderous Xiaojing is that place, but unfortunately young, Before he grew up, he was picked by King Xin. ”

Li Xiaonuan stuck in Cheng Ke's arms and laughed,

"Hasn't he been running out of silver all the time? Do you dare to slander such a Zhuangzi? The more beautiful and comfortable the Zhuangzi, the more it costs money to use!"

Cheng Ke smiled and nodded,

"He's just too rambling to use money, so he lacks silver!"

"That's right."

Li Xiaonuan nodded in agreement, pointed to the Huangzhuang in the distance and asked:

"There are four Zhuangzi there, and there are also Zhuangzi of King Min?"

"King Min didn't have Zhuangzi there."

Cheng Ke paused and replied,

"There is also a Zhuangzi, which is the eldest princess's, the location is the best, the place is the largest, and it is the dowry that the emperor let the eldest princess circle herself. King Min's Zhuangzi is over there. ”

Cheng Ke turned his horse's head, pointed to the northwest and said,

"That place was originally Prince Lao Cheng's Zhuangzi, and later he was convicted, Zhuangzi was gone, so he picked it for King Min, speaking of which, there was nothing to pick, when he opened the house, it was reasonable to pick three Zhuangzi, and the inner divisions only gave him four places to pick from, and one was far away on Jingxi East Road...... That place, the place is huge, but it is slightly barren, and it is the longest next to our Zhuangzi territory. ”

Li Xiaonuan squinted his eyes and looked at the Zhuangzi of King Min in the northwest, which was too far away, and in addition to a lush forest, it was still a lush forest.

The two of them rode on horses, walking slowly around Zhuangzi, stopping and watching as they walked, gossiping.

Cheng Ke took Li Xiaonuan to walk around Zhuangzi for a small half circle, almost two hours have passed, the sun is setting in the distance, and the afterglow of the setting sun warmly envelops all things on the earth, and it is also caged on Cheng Ke and Li Xiaonuan.

Li Xiaonuan wrapped the cloak tightly, squeezed into Cheng Ke's arms, and pulled the clothes on his chest, Cheng Ke grabbed the reins with one hand, wrapped Li Xiaonuan's back with the other, looked down at her and asked:

"Cold? Let's go back,"

"Hmm,"

Li Xiaonuan agreed plausibly, looked up at Cheng Ke, and said with a smile:

"Tomorrow you teach me to ride a horse?

Cheng Ke laughed, raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and nodded again and again while laughing.

The two returned to the courtyard, Lan Chu had people prepare hot water, snacks, tea and rice, etc., the two bathed, washed and ate, Li Xiaonuan took the book and read two pages, then became sleepy, leaned on Cheng Ke, kowtowed one by one, Cheng Ke put down the book in his hand, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, jumped off the bed with a smile, reached out to pick her up, and went to the house to rest.

The next day, three poles on the sun, the two were still lying on the bed, Zhu Qing looked at the porridge and vegetables that were so hot over and over again that they were already rotten, and ordered to pour them and cook them again.

It wasn't until it was already time that the two of them got up slowly to wash up and eat lunch slowly, Cheng Ke smiled and took Li Xiaonuan to the back racecourse to learn to ride a horse.

When they arrived at the racecourse, Yuanshan had carefully selected a docile pony as instructed, and was ready to stop and wait.

Li Xiaonuan rode a horse, and learned for more than an hour, but she couldn't sit firmly on the horse, Cheng Ke smiled and leaned back, teasing her while teaching,

“…… No wonder you say that you learn things the same as others, well, you are also a little conceited, which is the same as others? It's obviously different, learning to ride a horse and learning to be like you, it's the first time I've seen you! I was able to ride a horse when I was five years old, so I didn't have to learn it! The eldest sister could also ride a horse back then, and according to my father, she could run very well in just an hour, look at you!"

The next chapter, before two o'clock.

Dear drops, powder, powder, reward, reward, I haven't said this every other day, and it seems that there is something missing.
