Lu Sheng only stepped out of the door with his front foot, but his back foot was still in the door, but he couldn't help but regret it, and his momentum was completely discharged.

It's just that when the matter came, he could only walk out of the house and stand under the porch with his head down.

To the south, you can go out of the house to meet with colleagues, to the east you can practice sword riding and archery, to the west you can see that the grapes in the vineyard are ripe again, and to the north you can fold melons and pick apricots, but Lu Sheng still can't take a step, he just feels that there is nowhere to go.

After just a few breaths, he heard the footsteps behind him approaching, and someone stood quietly beside him without saying a word, standing with his hands in his hands, looking up at the moon, and said casually: "The moon is bright, and the best people are shining." Who is Lu Lang thinking about when he sees the moon? ”

Lu Sheng said with a straight face: "The moon is like a hook, there is a mean look, and the thinking is naturally a mean person." ”

Xie Yingwan'er sighed: "Mean people do mean things, they will naturally treat you harshly, why bother thinking about him and thinking about him, it's better to forget about it." ”

Lu Sheng turned his head and glanced at him, walked out of the corridor, walked through the fragrant flowers and green grass in full bloom, and walked towards the outside of the mansion. The night in the Western Regions was as cold as water, Ruosong chased after the two sons with two cloaks, Xie Ying's cloak was indigo brocade embroidered with a python, and Lu Sheng's cloak was a dark red brocade embroidered with Dapeng. The night breeze caresses, sending bursts of floral fragrance, and there are three or two red lotuses blooming in the lotus pond in the front yard, which are like flames in the night, and there is quite a self-satisfied posture.

Lu Sheng stopped by the lotus pond, couldn't help but recall the lotus seed song again, and said in a low voice: "The leaves of the lotus pond in the fields are stacked and the flowers are falling. If there are a few kinds of plants, it will be lively. ”

Xie Ying turned his head and said, "Ruosong, tomorrow I will order someone to bring a few more red lotuses from Jiangnan and transplant them into this pool." ”

Wakamatsu followed a few steps behind the two and complied.

Lu Sheng advised: "Don't stick to red lotus and white lotus, pick some lotus seeds that bear a lot of fruit and grow strong lotus roots." ”

Wakamatsu raised his head slightly, and hesitated: "What does Baoyang Gongzi mean ......"

Lu Sheng said: "The best food you can eat." ”

Wakamatsu still hesitated: "If you only care about the raw lotus, the flowers will grow ......."

Xie Ying said: "It doesn't matter how the flowers grow, just pick the lotus root that is delicious and the lotus seeds are green and tender." ”

Ruosong was young after all, and looked at Xie Ying in amazement for a long time, and saw that Xie Ying frowned, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and said: "The little one understands, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the son." ”

Lu Sheng turned his head to look at the turquoise lotus leaves on the undulating water waves, and sighed: "At this time, it is just the right time to make lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken." ”

Xie Ying said again: "Ruosong, tell the kitchen to prepare two lotus leaf glutinous rice chickens tomorrow." ”

Wakamatsu was naturally too busy to respond, so he retired and walked away.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Why do you have to eat whatever I say." ”

Xie Ying said: "Since this is the case, there is no need to prepare. Wakamatsu. ”

Lu Sheng hurriedly said: "Wait! Since you have said it, why go back, Wakamatsu, go. ”

Ruosong is not leaving, nor is he staying, he looked at Lu Sheng with an innocent blank face, and then looked at Xie Ying, Xie Ying smiled and said, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

When the little guy walked away, Lu Sheng touched his nose in embarrassment, followed the winding path by the lotus pond, continued to walk towards the door, stepped out of the gate, and walked out of the back alley.

But today it seems to be a little more lively, men and women are strangely brightly dressed, or there are flowers pinned between the sideburns, on the wrists, or on the placket of the clothes. The flowers are varied, some people are pinned with fragrant white gardenias, others are pinned with light golden gentians, or gold and silver honeysuckle flowers, purple bougainvillea, etc., purple and red, colorful and gorgeous, dazzling under the light of lantern torches.

In the bazaar at the intersection of the street, there are artists performing arts, and there are many shops and vendors, selling rouge gouache, preserved fruit preserves, mutton skewers, chicken cakes and other miscellaneous snacks. Among the pedestrians, interspersed with monks in apricot yellow clothes and cockscomb hats, Xuanqing clothes and dervishes and barefoot Tantric monks, lupine scarves, splendid robes and bearded Persian merchants, supplemented by the shouting of the accent of the south and the earth, the singing of men and women, and the noise of leather drums and zithers are one after another, intertwined into a happy and peaceful prosperity scene.

I couldn't see the distress and embarrassment of the strong enemy at all, and even the beggars held the rare baked cake steamed buns, showing a little satisfaction.

When Lu Sheng first saw the scene of the border city, he didn't care about talking to Xie Ying for a while, he only looked around curiously, and suddenly heard a young and clear girl's voice raise her voice: "Son, what kind of flower do you want to buy?" ”

Lu Sheng lowered his head in a voice, and saw a little girl in front of him who was only about ten years old, wearing a brown narrow-sleeved beard made of arrowroot, carrying a flower basket the size of half of her body, with two small buns on her head on the left and right, looking up at him directly. ”

Lu Sheng only needed to pay a little attention, and found that passers-by, regardless of men, women, and children, were wearing flowers, he squatted down, looked at the girl eye level, and asked with a smile: "What is so particular about this flower?" ”

The girl said crisply: "Naturally, there is a special attitude, today is the birthday of the Heavenly Maiden, if it is accompanied by flowers, you can get the blessing of the Heavenly Maiden." The Celestial Maiden is the princess of the Jialan Kingdom who serves the flowers and plants for the Buddha, and all the flowers in the world are protected by the Celestial Maiden. ”

She put the slightly heavy flower basket on the ground, and explained to Lu Sheng one by one: "Gardenia to keep you from getting sick and painful; Gentian flowers prolong your life and ensure that you live a long life; Golden honeysuckle beckons, silver honeysuckle blessing; This bougainvillea...... Naturally, it is a marriage match, to ensure the harmony and long-term love of husband and wife. A flower costs only ten cents. She probably felt that it was too expensive, and hurriedly added: "It is to make offerings to the Heavenly Maiden, so it is more than in the past...... More expensive. ”

Lu Sheng heard that she was young, but she was right, so he smiled and said: "Since this is the case, let's ......" He was muttering which one to choose, but he heard Xie Ying say unhurriedly on the side: "It's all about it." ”

The little girl was pleasantly surprised, her eyes widened and she said, "Childe, Childe really want it all?" ”

Lu Sheng turned his head to glare at him, but Xie Ying only slightly turned his head to make a look, and Ruoxia, who followed behind a few feet apart, understood, and took Ruozhu Ruoshuang forward, counted the number of flowers with the little girl, and simply bought the basket together.

The little girl was holding a piece of broken silver in her hand, and she was so happy that she thanked Xie Ying again and again, Lu Sheng saw that she was alone, but there were some strange sights projected around, so he said: "Childish Huaijin, I'm afraid it's not safe, Ah Ying, why don't we send her back." After speaking, he turned to ask, "Little lady, what is your surname and where does your family live?" ”

The little girl sold out of flowers, and she was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "I'm not a little lady, my surname is Hua, my nickname is Bell, and I live with my mother in Ear Lane." ”

Erzi Xiangtai was half inhabited by laborers and poor people who migrated from the Central Plains with the army, or their families were ruined, or their lives were unsustainable, but they were too weak to join the army, so they volunteered to migrate with the army, and depended on the army to do some chores and coolies to make a living. What's more, there are also women who mix in and sell themselves to make a living.

Lu Sheng felt more and more pity for this little girl, and turned his head and said, "Ah Ying, it's better to send her." ”

Xie Ying frowned, and wanted to say "It's enough to send Ruozhu to her", but after all, he hesitated a little and agreed. Ruoxia sent a bamboo basket full of flowers, he held it in his hand, stretched it out in front of Lu Sheng, and said coldly: "Lift it." ”

He was followed by a group of attendants and guards, but he didn't support him, and he had to ask Lu Sheng to carry this bamboo basket, which was obviously deliberately embarrassing him.

Lu Sheng stared at the basket full of purple and red, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, but he remembered that he had lost his temper with Xie Ying before, so he had to lament that this boy and brother are really small, and they have to be so careful about a little thing.

Lu Sheng turned to read again, he is now promoted to the marching Sima, and he has five hundred recruits under him, and he must have the style of a general, and he can't be as knowledgeable as Xie Ying.

Then he accepted his fate and took the bamboo basket in his hand, and then smiled at the little girl who called the bell: "We will send you back." ”

The bell was holding a heavy amount of money, and was nervous, lest someone take it away on the way back, and seeing that these two people were richly dressed, where was the slightest bit wary, he nodded hurriedly, and said with a smile: "That...... Thank you, two sons! ”

Lu Sheng smiled: "Bell, lead the way." ”

The bell rang loudly, leading everyone to the way back. There were a few sneaky figures following along the way, but they saw the sword on Lu Sheng's waist and Xie Ying's cold gaze one after another, so they had to put away a little caution and shrank back into the crowd.

Lu Sheng carried the flower basket, the fragrance was lush, and his mood was a little more relaxed, he distributed the flowers to Ruoxia and others, and even the bell also got a gardenia that eliminated all diseases, and inserted it in the bun, which was very cute and cute.

After he finished distributing the flowers, but saw Xie Ying glaring at him with a calm face, Lu Sheng took a gentian flower and said with a smile: "Ah Ying doesn't have to ask for wealth and blessings, and you don't have to worry about illness, then ask for a long ......life."

Before he finished speaking, he felt that his cloak was torn off, and when he looked down, it was the bell that took two strings of brightly colored bougainvillea from the flower basket, and said in a loud voice: "Son, my mother said, a good boy of Zhaohua's age, don't miss a good marriage, you have to wear bougainvillea." ”

Lu Sheng paused unconsciously, and had to smile and say, "It makes sense." ”

He took the bougainvillea flower string, and when he looked at Xie Ying again, he found that the corners of this boy's mouth curled up for some reason, and said with a smile: "Don't give it yet...... Brother wears it. ”

Lu Sheng had to hang two strings of bougainvillea on the buttons of Xie Yingtong's own cloak, and now looking at it, among this group of people, only he and Xie Ying are wearing bougainvillea, the purple color is rich and dazzling, even in the indigo and dark red cloak of the two, these two people are extremely tall and handsome, and they have attracted the attention of passers-by along the way, which makes Lu Sheng uncomfortable.

Occasionally, there were people begging along the way, and when Lu Sheng gave copper money, he also gave a flower casually, but Xie Ying's face was gloomy again, and when Lu Sheng saw this, he persuaded in a low voice: "Ah Ying, it's just a few flowers, just take them all back, and they will wither in a few days, so it's better to give them away, everyone is happy." ”

Xie Ying sneered: "Everyone is happy, I'm not happy." ”

Lu Sheng snorted for a moment, and then said, "It's mine, no, I shouldn't have disposed of your flowers at will, Ah Ying, it's better to ...... Shall I compensate you in silver? ”

Xie Ying finally showed a shocked look, Lu Sheng stroked his cheek, and said blankly: "Could it be ...... Can't you pay double the compensation? ”

Xie Ying didn't want to say more than half a word to him, only turned his head to walk, and even opened a few steps away from Lu Sheng.

Ruoshuang led the bell in front of him, Lu Sheng carried the flower basket and followed behind Xie Ying at a loss, but fortunately, Ruoxia followed, and whispered: "Baoyang Gongzi misunderstood, my son-in-law cares about this." ”

Lu Sheng thought about it, Xie Ying has 3,000 food estates under his name, although he is not as arrogant and lascivious as Shi Chong Wang Kai, he has more than enough food and clothing to live without worry, he is from a high-ranking nobleman, and there is no dust under his eyes.

Lu Sheng couldn't help but sigh secretly, sure enough, between the cold doors of the Shi clan, it was like a chasm. He had to thank Ruoxia in a low voice, and then quickened his pace to keep up with Xie Ying, and said with a smile: "There is a stone river outside the camp in Liaoxi, and there are red carp in the river, and the whole body is fiery and dazzling, I will catch a few and send them to you another day." ”

Xie Ying's expression slowed down slightly, and then he said: "Good, the red lotus reflects the clear waves, the koi plays the blue lotus, and it is ......."

Lu Sheng said again: "Put it in the lotus pond and fatten it to make vinegar fish to eat." ”

Xie Ying paused, only to feel that his anger turned into helplessness, and sighed: "...... Then it will be made into vinegar fish and eaten. ”

When the group arrived at the mouth of Erzi Alley, the bell was already very intimate with Ruoshuang, and even talked about most of the family affairs. It turned out that Bell's father was a tenant, but unfortunately he contracted the epidemic and died. The bell went back to her grandfather's house with her mother.

However, her grandfather's family was also in difficulty, her mother couldn't bear to burden her parents, so she simply followed her younger brother in the army, and came to the Western Regions with the army, and it was less than half a month after coming.

Lu Sheng's heart moved, and it was less than half a month since the arrival of the three thousand recruits, could it be ......

While he was thinking about it, he saw the bell suddenly running towards a tall man carrying firewood at the entrance of the alley with his skirt, shouting happily: "Uncle! ”

The man first looked at the bell with a smile on his face, and when he saw Lu Sheng who was following behind, the smile on his face suddenly turned into fear and horror, and he said in a trembling voice: "Lu, Lu Sima? ”
