Chapter 172: Meet Again
All of them are weak chickens!
Looking at the two Cheng Chumo brothers who were talking about wine and lying on the table, Li Kuan was speechless for a while.
Just as Li Kuan was about to get up and go home, he suddenly heard a pleasant sound of the piano coming from the side.
often listens to Zixia Fuqin, although Li Kuan can't play it himself, he still has the ability to discriminate.
The key is to listen to the tune, which turned out to be the poem he made when he was at the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in the Wei Palace.
The composition of the Cheng Mansion, Li Kuan is generally clear, hearing this song, his heart suddenly moved, stood up and followed the sound of the piano.
After walking through the lobby and along the corridor, Li Kuan saw a pretty figure sitting in the pavilion, and the sound of the piano came from the pavilion.
"The sound of the piano is euphemistic and continuous, like a mountain spring winding from a deep valley and flowing slowly." Li Kuan couldn't help but praise, "The girl is really good at playing the piano, giving people a dream-like feeling, both true and false." ”
"Bell!"
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu?"
The beauty turned around and saw that it was really Li Kuan, and a knowing smile appeared on her face, "I heard that the eldest brother said that His Royal Highness the King of Chu came over today, but I didn't expect to see the prince here." ”
"Miss Cheng, it's really you!"
Li Kuan also laughed when he saw that the beauty in the pavilion was Cheng Jingwen.
"I said goodbye to Weishui last year, and it has been more than a year since I saw the girl again."
"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu showed his strength in Dengzhou Mansion, and Dengzhou, which was originally full of hungry people, has become rich and prosperous in just one year, Jingwen really admires it."
"It's just that it's all about personnel, and An Tian's destiny is placed."
Li Kuan was rarely humble, if Cheng Chumo was here, he would definitely feel that he was not used to listening to it.
"The prince has just drunk a lot of bars, if you don't sit in the pavilion for a while, I'll ask Luzhu to make a pot of tea."
Cheng Jingwen's face was slightly red, and she sent out an invitation.
Li Kuan directly showed his attitude with his actions, walked into the pavilion in a few steps, and sat opposite Cheng Jingwen.
The first time the two were alone, Cheng Jingwen obviously couldn't let go.
"Jingwen used to like the prince's poems the most, I wonder if the prince has any new works recently?"
Seeing Li Kuan staring at him like that, Cheng Jingwen's face turned even redder, so she had to quickly find a topic that she was more familiar with.
"Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring.
May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. ”
Li Kuan looked at Cheng Jingwen with a smile, "What does the girl think of this poem?" ”
"Self-...... Nature is superb. Cheng Jingwen lowered her head, crossed her fingers on her lower abdomen, and didn't dare to raise her head.
"This poem was given to the girl by this king, do you like it?"
Seeing Cheng Jingwen's restrained appearance, Li Kuan suddenly felt that his mood had changed for the better.
Although Datang is not as conservative as the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are still very few operations like Li Kuan.
In particular, Cheng Jingwen has always been raised by Mrs. Cheng according to the style of everyone's ladies, and she has not seen much of the world.
Suddenly, Cheng Jingwen's face was red and dripping blood, but she was a little reluctant to walk away.
"Is the prince like this for every woman?"
Suddenly thought that Li Kuan had left a poem in the Qinglou that "the sea was once difficult to water, except that Wushan is not a cloud", and last year he staged an all-martial arts with his eldest brother in Tianxiang Pavilion and the eldest grandson Chong's noble children.
To say that Cheng Jingwen didn't mind at all is also false.
However, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is like this, his grandfather also has several concubines, and his grandfather once gave his eldest brother a six-room concubine, so Cheng Jingwen's mood is also quite contradictory.
"Poof!"
Li Kuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cheng Jingwen's little daughter.
"This king has recently built a new conservatory in the house, and you can visit it with the snow geese when you have time."
After Li Kuan finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to go home.
"Miss Cheng's dress today is very beautiful."
Leaving Cheng Jingwen alone in the pavilion, her face was red for a while, embarrassed for a while, and then stomped her foot violently, "How can you talk to a girl's family like this." ”
"Three ladies, there are too many people to go away!"
Lu Zhu raised his little hand and shook it in front of Cheng Jingwen.
I don't know where this girl was hiding just now, and when Li Kuan left, she came out of nowhere.
"Green bamboo, is my dress beautiful?"
Cheng Jingwen grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands and looked down at it.
"It's over, Sanniang, you can't say a few words and your heart was abducted by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, right?"
"Looking for a fight."
"Three ladies, I don't dare."
"Call you a mouthful!"
……
East Palace.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, today my subordinates went to the Chu King's Mansion again to deliver the invitation, but the King of Chu still said that he was not available."
The eldest grandson Jiaqing came back from outside with an angry face, and then reported today's situation to Li Chengqian.
In the past two years, Li Chengqian has easily felt Li Kuan's extraordinary, looking for various opportunities to win him over, and even risking his life to speak for him in the court.
And Li Tai, who has different thoughts, is also frequently wooing Li Kuan.
"Li Kuan is busy with his warm house during this time, where else is he going?"
Although Li Chengqian is not very old, the city government is already relatively deep, and he did not get angry because of the report of the eldest grandson Jiaqing.
"Yes, I heard that I went to the Suguo Mansion today."
The eldest grandson Jiaqing is the nephew of the eldest grandson empress, and it can be said that he is Li Chengqian's cousin, and he was arranged to be by Li Chengqian's side as an attendant a few years ago, so in private, he spoke more casually.
"Su Guogong? I heard that Cheng Chumo had a good relationship with him, and it was not surprising that he went to the Suguo Mansion. ”
"If you want me to say that this King of Chu is too ignorant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has shown him kindness many times, but he doesn't appreciate it at all."
"Forget it, as long as he doesn't face the fourth brother, I can accept it now."
……
"Lord Wang, the courgette seedlings have grown, go and take a look."
As soon as Li Kuan returned to the palace courtyard, he heard Qing'er happily running over and holding his hand to the warm house.
"Is it only the courgette that grows?"
"Not only that, but the Kunlun melon and woad have also sprouted. Especially for woad, don't you ask people to look for different woad seeds everywhere, and now you can see a lot of young seedlings. ”
It's just that I didn't go to the greenhouse for a day and a night, but I didn't expect that there was already a trace of greenery inside.
These vegetables, as long as the temperature is right and the humidity is moderate, actually grow very quickly.
Especially at night, there is a bonfire lit inside, which can be regarded as an artificial little sun.
"Those eunuchs who came out of the palace, you let them make a record, how much water is watered every day, how it grows, how much temperature it is, how sunny it is outside, the more detailed the record, the better, and if you do well, this king will be rewarded."
Making a greenhouse to provide vegetables for winter is just one of Li Kuan's very small purposes.
He is more concerned about speeding up the development of crop grafting, breeding and other aspects.
In particular, the Chinese cabbage, compared with the Chinese cabbage in later generations, is too weak chicken, which Li Kuan focuses on cultivating and selecting.
