When Li Chen arrived at Buxian Garden, he heard that Lu Guan had made tea and played something new recently, so he didn't say a word and ran to find Lu Guan.

The place where Lu Guan is located is in the tea garden behind the back mountain, among the tea trees all over the mountain, a bamboo house has been built, chrysanthemums are planted in front of the house, surrounded by a bamboo fence, and there is a plum forest behind the house.

Li Chen felt that Lu Guan was also an elegant person, so he lived in this place, boiled a pot of tea, and didn't need a confidant to come to meet.

Li Chen led Shangguan Wan'er in, bending a pair of big eyes: "I heard that Lu Sicheng has a lot of experience in making tea recently, so I came to take a look." ”

Lu Guan hurriedly went to greet him, and said with a smile: "It's just a little trick." ”

When Li Chen heard this, his eyes as bright as stars looked at Lu Guan, and his tone was a little enthusiastic, "What little tricks?" ”

When he asked the boy in the bamboo hut to fetch the tea set, he led Li Chen to sit down on a small pavilion on the side of the bamboo hut while looking at Li Chen without a trace.

At first glance, the facial features of this little princess are a little like her father and a little like her mother, but if you look closely, she feels that no one looks like her. Although Lu Guan is a Si Nong Si Cheng and does not have much power in his hands, he can be regarded as a crawler from the officialdom, and he still has a little bit of eyesight to know people, and the little princess in front of him is more transparent than they can imagine.

The child held a tea cake and a series of tea utensils, and Li Chen sat down opposite Lu Guan to watch him make tea.

In the past few years, tea has become popular in Chang'an City, but as the crown prince Li Hong said, everything is not exempt from being fine at the beginning, and the same is true for drinking tea. But Lu Guan and a group of gardeners from the south have made a lot of contributions to the popularization of tea today, at least now they are decent tea cakes.

Li Chen looked at Lu Guan, who was engrossed in the opposite side, and saw that his action of making tea was like a cloud of water flowing in his peers, and when he finally divided the tea, he was able to make a magnolia flower out of the soup flower in the tea poured for Li Chen, which made Li Chen surprised.

Li Chen's little face lit up, and he looked at Lu Guan: "Lu Sicheng, if I want to make a word on top of the tea, is it okay?" ”

Lu Guan shook his head: "I'm ashamed, now I can only use soup flowers to make some simple things." ”

Li Chen wanted to come out this time, and when he went back to Daming Palace to make tea for his father, he would be very happy to be able to distinguish a word with soup flowers on the tea noodles for his father. She thought about it, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, as long as Lu Sicheng teaches me the method." ”

Li Chen stayed in Lu Guan's bamboo hut for nearly two hours, and after learning the skills Lu Guan taught her to divide tea, she went back to her place. The redbud forest behind the house was layers of purple, and Li Chen asked Shu Ye to make a swing under the wisteria tree, swinging it for a while.

This time she is going to come to Buxian Garden, Taiping was originally going to come, but it just so happens that the Sanqingguan in the palace does not know what ceremony to do, Taiping died a few years ago when Mrs. Rongguo died, on behalf of her mother to do filial piety has not yet returned to the customs, so these ceremonies held by Taoism, Taiping even if he does not do anything, he has to go through the motions.

Usually Sister Taiping doesn't feel anything when she accompanies her, but now she is alone, and she feels that she doesn't know what to do. Li Chen was bored, and Lu Guan's wife was afraid that Li Chen would be bored, so she came to talk to Li Chen about the interesting things that had happened in the garden in the past few days.

Mrs. Lu: "Not far from the garden, there is also a manor called Meizhuang, there are many people living on the Zhuangzi, the owner of the Zhuangzi likes plum blossoms, all the year round, I heard that the master was going to leave Chang'an years ago, then the Meizhuang changed hands, now the Meizhuang has a new owner, but it has become lively, often hear the sound of silk and bamboo inside, the owner seems to love the drum, sometimes far away, you can hear the drum sound come out, the drum is broken far away, people are amazed. ”

As soon as Li Chen heard this, he came to his senses, "Have you seen that master?" ”

Mrs. Lu shook her head: "I heard that the master's surname is Song, and his brother is in Weizhou, so he makes a living in Chang'an City." The master's nephew also came with him, and the little Langjun heard that he was extremely handsome, and he would pick up a pen before he could walk, and after he arrived at Meizhuang, it was said that the farmers of Meizhuang were all learned. ”

Li Chen's eyes widened: "There is such a thing?" ”

Mrs. Lu said with a smile: "It's just a rumor, and the princess shouldn't take it seriously." ”

Although Mrs. Lu said that, Li Chen had already aroused her interest. Originally, when Li Chen arrived at Buxian Garden, Taiping would be on the side, and when she wanted to do something, she was stopped by Taiping, which always had some effect. But now that Taiping is gone, neither are the saints and the queens who can suppress her, and several princes have their own mansions outside the palace, and they don't know how much they are free, so naturally they don't need to go to the garden like Li Chen to let off steam.

This time, Li Chen, who was unrestrained, finally experienced the taste of doing whatever she wanted, she asked Mrs. Lu to prepare a few sets of simple men's clothes, and relied on the fact that she was not yet nine years old, and she was not yet nine years old, and she was not yet able to develop.

Yongchang Xiaolangjun rode a high-headed horse with a red color, and then took Shu Ye and Shu Zhi out with a swagger.

Before going out, Shangguan Wan'er was still worried and tried to stop it: "Princess, if you want to get to know the owner of Namei Village, why don't you let Lu Sicheng send a prayer post first?" If you have any accidents outside, what kind of face does Wan'er have to go back and add the saint and the queen? ”

Li Chen straightened the clothes on her body, and the little princess Yongchang at this time had become a little Zhengtai who could compete with Xue Shao back then, she raised her eyebrows, and then smiled and reached out and patted Shangguan Wan'er's tender face, "Don't be afraid, Wan'er, Lang Jun will cover you." ”

Shangguan Wan'er: "......"

Li Chen saw Shangguan Wan'er, who was petrified in an instant, laughed, and then left Shangguan Wan'er, who was usually almost her shadow, in the Garden of Envy. At this time, it is a little unkind to leave Wan'er in the garden of envy, but what is not kind? Li Chen thought that since her father gave Shu Ye and Shu Zhi to her, she thought about slowly starting to alienate Shangguan Wan'er.

This estrangement can't be obvious, but it has to make Shangguan Wan'er understand that she doesn't dislike her. It's just that in view of Shangguan Wan'er's behavior since then, Li Chen is not suitable to have a too close relationship with her. But it is also very difficult to maintain a relationship that is not far away, Li Chen is still thinking, what can be done to make Shangguan Wan'er, who is only subservient to power, think of their master-servant relationship in the future?

As long as Shangguan Wan'er can remember a little bit of the current master-servant relationship, when one day the mother will inevitably take over the power, there may still be many things that need Shangguan Wan'er's help. This mother wants to cultivate an all-round personal secretary, with first-class administrative ability, talent, and ability to do things and play together, Shangguan Wan'er is undoubtedly the best candidate. Moreover, Shangguan Wan'er is exquisitely attached to the strong, but the power will overlap, and when the power will naturally overlap into the hands of the next person, Shangguan Wan'er will still be loyal to the next person.

This is why although Li Chen thinks that although Shangguan Wan'er is smart but not loyal, he still has a blue eye for her.

What she needs is a person who understands current affairs, will not offend anyone, nor will she help anyone, but will definitely make the most beneficial choice for herself.

Li Chen was still thinking nonsense, and had already ridden his horse to the gate of Meizhuang.

Compared with the garden, Meizhuang is simply a small witch, although Meizhuang is named Meizhuang, and there is really a plum forest, but it is a hundred acres of grange. At the junction of Meizhuang and Buxian Garden, there is a small river, the water is very clear, and you can see the pebbles inside.

Li Chen pulled the reins, slowing down the speed of the horses, Meizhuang was like a small village, spring plowing had just begun, and there were croppers in the fields on both sides of the leveling road, and they were all humming some tunes. Li Chen looked at those people and listened to these tunes, and was very curious.

When the farmer saw someone coming in, he looked at it twice with curiosity, and then bowed his head in surprise and went on with his work.

Seeing this, a maid dressed in men's clothes who followed behind said, "The owner of this manor must be a very peculiar person. ”

Li Chen looked at the surrounding scenery and asked, "Why do you say this?" ”

The maid smiled and said, "When these farmer saw us, they were first curious, and then they were not surprised, so it is evident that people must have often come to visit their masters. I have heard the tune they are humming now, which is a tune made up of the first drum of eight notes, and I heard Mrs. Lu say that the master here is a good drum, and he often beats the drum here at a regular time, and these farmers have learned it naturally. ”

Li Chen bowed slightly: "Well, you have a point." As she spoke, as soon as she pulled the reins in her hand, the horse stopped, and its two hooves were somewhat restless in digging the loess on the ground.

Li Chen looked back at the maid, this maid was fifteen or sixteen years old, and she didn't bring it out in the palace, but a maid next to Mrs. Lu, every time she saw Mrs. Lu, she was waiting by her side.

This maid has a bit of meaning, Li Chen pondered for a while, and then asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The maid's surname is Zhang's name slowly."

Li Chen nodded with a smile, then turned his head, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of a young man in white clothes in crescent moon sitting on the grass under the big locust tree under the old locust tree not far away, and there was a desk in front of him, and there seemed to be a chess set on the table. A few paces away from him, a boy dressed as a scholar had his back to them, and he seemed to be fishing.

Li Chen blinked and looked at the young man intently.

The young man held the sunspot in his hand, frowning slightly, and behind him, the blue mountains and green waters, it seemed that his facial features were extremely exquisite, and his sword eyebrows were sharp, which was difficult to hide.

The spring breeze blew, although it was difficult to hide the cold, but it was not biting, the locust flowers on the branches swirled and floated down in the wind, and a few white flowers fell on the young man's black hair, black and white, Li Chen didn't blink his eyes.
