Chapter 200 Back Mountain, Flower Appreciation
There is a peach blossom forest in the back mountain of Peach Mountain, and unlike other places, the peach blossoms here are extremely precious varieties, which are automatically donated by those dignitaries and nobles in order to please the Queen Mother.
This peach blossom forest is taken care of by the teachers and wives in the nunnery, and the interesting thing is that each donated peach blossom forest has a donor's sign, which is quite a bit of a taste of grace.
The rarer the flowers and trees, the more you are in the mountains, and you are basically not allowed to enter without a guide. Therefore, the ordinary people saw under their feet were just the most ordinary peach blossoms, but they still thought that they had seen the royal grace. This is another reason why Bai Jiaojiao ridiculed the hypocrisy of the Queen Mother's so-called "rejoicing with the people".
"This is planted by Lord Ji himself." Ankang stopped in front of a peculiarly crooked peach tree, this peach tree is very tall, but in addition to its own artistic shape, it is only a few small buds, and even few leaves.
Mrs. Ji was quite embarrassed, and there was a story about this tree. "The husband said that this tree has been different since it was a child, and it must be a rare species, so it was specially moved to Momoyama."
…… The county lord of Ankang pursed his lips, as far as Ji Weigang's stubborn head was concerned, he must have casually found a perfunctory errand for the queen mother, and she silently did not pierce it.
"Master Ji has a unique vision, this peach tree is indeed different." Qiu Rong opened his mouth in agreement at the right time.
The county lord of Ankang squinted at her. "Well, you don't have a good eye."
Qiu Rong was immediately overjoyed when she heard this, and stepped forward a few steps faster, following a group of them, and An Kang just glanced at her and didn't stop her.
Qiu Rong, who had been recognized, also said some jokes he heard from Yu Guogong from time to time to talk to them, and he was also harmonious for a while.
Several forests have been seen, and they are getting deeper and deeper, and several of them feel that their tired feet have slowed down a lot.
Although they are all rare flowers, after all, they are the same for thousands of times, and the interest in health is not as full as before.
Seeing this, Bai Jiaojiao casually talked to Qiu Rong. "Mrs. Rong is saying that Guogong also loves this peach mountain very much, and he will come to peach mountain several times a year to live?"
"Yes, Guogong likes quiet and elegant places, and he likes it very much, and he will come here every year to live." Qiu Rong replied thoughtfully.
"Then you should have been here before." Pu Yuan handed the fan to Ankang and asked her to shake it to herself.
"Guogong came to Momoyama for purity, and he never brought a female dependent, even the guards rarely followed. Madame has never opened it, how can I have this blessing. ”
"Mrs. Rong is the most loved by the Duke of the Kingdom, if you can't accompany the people on the other side, you won't have this opportunity." Bai Jiaojiao asked in a seemingly unintentional whisper. "I don't know how much the prince treasures his own peach forest, and he doesn't even bring his wife."
"Actually, it's nothing, this peach grove of Guogong is right in front." Master Hui Yin explained her confusion when she heard this, "It's just that this peach forest is vigorous and the area is relatively large, so in the depths of the back mountain, even the monks in the nunnery rarely come here to take care of it." ”
When all the ladies heard this, they all stepped forward curiously, and they all came to the side, how could they not take a look. The peach forest of the Yuguo Gongjia is different from others, this peach tree is scorching and gorgeous, a large area is densely hidden in the woods, and the pink is bright and dripping red.
"It's so beautiful, no wonder Guogong treats this forest as a treasure, and I'm willing to let me live here." Mrs. Ji muttered to herself. "Mrs. Shi, are you taking care of such a large forest with your own hands?"
"Yes, there are other forests, but this forest is very large, and it likes to provoke snakes, insects, rats and ants, so we rarely come here." Master Hui Yin twisted the Buddhist beads to solve their doubts. "The Lord Guogong understands our difficulties, and personally sent people to take care of this forest, and also solved a lot of troubles for our nunnery."
"Guogong is so kind-hearted, he definitely doesn't want the teachers and wives to work so hard. Speaking of which, I have seen one of these peach trees in Fuzhong, but they are not as vigorous as here. Qiu Rong and Youyan took a few steps forward, wanting to see more clearly, and when they turned back, they also showed off.
"Madame, no!" As soon as Mrs. Hui Yin's words fell, Qiu Rong screamed and fell into the tree pit.
"Hurry up, save people." Master Hui Yin hurriedly asked a few teachers to surround him. "Ladies, please be careful, because there are poachers in the back mountain, there are traps in some places, and you must not walk around at will if no one leads you."
When the ladies heard this, they all led their maids to take a few steps back, and they didn't dare to step forward.
"Green sleeves, you hold your mother." Bai Jiaojiao boldly walked to the side, frightened Mrs. Hui Yin into a cold sweat. "This hole is quite deep, Mrs. Rong, don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
"Save me, save me!"
"It's not like a trap to hunt."
"What is Mr. Pu Yuan's opinion?"
Pu Yuan crouched down beside her, "Look at the soil marks and the size of the opening, this is the shape of the roots. ”
Pu Yuan reached out and dug into it, finding a slender beard. "There's still broken roots in there, it's not a trap, it's someone who dug up the tree here."
"That's strange, what do you do with such a big tree, and the peach tree is worthless. The teachers don't have the strength, could it be that the Lord Guogong himself has nothing to do and likes to move the place for the peach tree? Bai Jiaojiao looked at Qiu Rong, who was pulled up by several masters with great effort, "The tree pit is too deep, you can bury a living person, if you don't know, you still think you want to bury some treasure here." ”
The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Pu Yuan lowered his head and stared at the tree pit quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. And Bai Jiaojiao and Ankang were surrounded by an embarrassed autumn appearance.
"I, woo-woo-woo." Qiu Rong lost all her face, and she only felt like crying.
"What does it smell like?" When the county lord of Ankang approached her, she smelled a strange aroma of herbs, her sense of smell was very good, she could smell anything, this smell seemed to have been smelled a long time ago. "Why are you so embarrassed?"
It's just that I fell into the pit, why is my whole body dirty, my hair is messy, and there are more scratches on my body.
Qiu Rong thought that he was disgusted and embarrassed. "Snakes, there are a lot of bugs down there."
"Why didn't I see it?" The lord of Ankang County looked at it, and there were no insects.
"There really is, it's inside, it's hidden inside." Qiu Rong stretched out his arm, and there were several thin blood marks on his white arm. "That's what those bugs bite."
"Did you get dizzy, I think it's more like you scratched yourself." The thin blood stains are the same as the nail prints, where are the insect bites.
"Mrs. Rong must be frightened, A-Niang, did you bring a clean dress?" Bai Jiaojiao cared for no longer let the county lord of Ankang persecute Qiu Rong.
Liu nodded. "I'm afraid of getting dirty, so I have two new sets, and I'll accompany Mrs. Rong to comb it."
"Let's go together, all the ladies should be tired, it's not too early, we should all go back to trim up." Mrs. Ji accompanied Liu, and the other ladies also agreed.
"Ah Yuan, gone, what are you still looking at?"
Pu Yuan lowered his head. "Are there really snakes, insects, rats, ants or hallucinations?"
"You think it's weird too?" The county lord of Ankang raised his eyebrows. "Me too, it's very simple to know, you stay, let me go down and search to see if there is any."
Bai Jiaojiao listened to their movements, a smile rose at the corner of her mouth, and then she raised her feet and chased after Liu. (To be continued.) )
