Chapter Eighty-Four: Planting Flowers and Grass
Taizu won the world by war, so he naturally attached importance to force.
Especially the children of the royal family, in order to prevent them from being too peaceful and happy, and lose the martial spirit of the Zhu family, Taizu asked them to polish on the training ground since they were young and practice martial arts and fitness.
Because Taizu knew that governing the country depended on scholars, and if the world was leveled, only strong military strength could do it.
So Taizu decreed that when all the young children of the Zhu clan reached the age of thirteen, they should compete once a year, and the superior would be rewarded and the inferior would be punished.
An Le Gong was given the surname of the country, and he was also a member of the clan, so he would take Zhu Ping'an to participate in the big competition every year. However, An Legong felt sorry for his son, knowing that his few catties and taels were not enough for others to beat, how dare he let him go? In the eyes of the children of other clans, Zhu Ping'an is just a waste, and no one takes him seriously at all.
Zhu Shouwen naturally knew about this situation.
What's more, Dabi is generally in March, the season of spring flowers, this is still the end of the year, and there is still a period of time before Dabi's day.
Zhu Ping'an didn't know that Taisun mentioned this matter at this time, and said in his heart, "You suddenly said this matter at this time, did you mention it casually, or did you have ulterior motives?" ”
He also felt that when Zhu Shouwen saw him in recent days, every word seemed to have a deep meaning.
However, the grandson didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask each other, so he chatted for a while, and then quit the palace.
……
Approaching the end of the year, the following days passed a little leisurely.
Zhu Ping'an didn't go out either, he only practiced in the house, and his realm was refined.
The hybrid body is becoming more and more mature, and it is almost to the point of completion.
"The effect of this elixir is really good, it seems that you have to refine it more when you are empty......"
Thinking of alchemy, Zhu Ping'an remembered something again.
The farther and farther he goes on the road of cultivating immortals, the more and more pills he will need in the future, and the grade requirements will become higher and higher.
However, in today's world, medicinal herbs are too scarce, and with such resources, it is impossible to refine high-grade pills. Now there is only one way, and that is to find a way to grow those herbs yourself.
Fortunately, "Persona of the Nine Heavens" has a book on the cultivation of medicinal herbs, which records the cultivation of new varieties through grafting and hybridization.
However, there is another problem that needs to be solved, the cultivation of medicinal herbs needs to absorb aura, and the right soil is also needed, and in today's world, such an environment is really not easy to find.
"Listen to Rain Villa?"
Zhu Ping'an thought for a long time, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered a place.
When he first came to Tingyu Villa to treat Lu Qian's legs, he found that the environment there was different from other places, and there were many rare flowers and plants planted in the villa, and they would bloom out of season.
At this time, I think about it, it should be because the aura there is relatively strong.
"It's a great place. Ben Hou healed that old Lu's leg, and now that he is looking for him to get a piece of land, presumably he will not refuse......"
After making up his mind, Zhu Ping'an set off to Tingyu Villa.
After arriving, Zhu Ping'an directly explained his intention to Lu Qian, and Lu Qian agreed to it at that time.
The problem of the land is solved, and the next step is to buy medicines.
"Mr. Lu will help Ben Hou take a look, is it good to find the seeds of these herbs?"
Zhu Ping'an took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lu Qian.
Lu Qian took it and looked at it, the names of hundreds of medicinal herbs were densely written on the paper, many of which were rare and rare herbs that were extremely difficult to find, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Zhu Gongzi, it's not that these herb seeds can't be obtained, but the price is a little bigger......"
After thinking for a long time, Lu Qian spoke.
"In terms of price, Mr. Lu doesn't have to worry about ......"
Hearing Lu Qian say that he could buy these medicinal seeds, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before, he was still a little worried, some of these herbs were very cherished, but he was afraid that it would not be easy to get them.
"Zhu Gongzi's grace in curing the disease has always been remembered by the old man. You don't have to worry about this matter, just leave it to the old man to do it......"
Lu Qian folded the piece of paper and put it in his arms.
"So it seems that the old man is going to pay the money. It's okay, and I saved Ben Hou a lot of silver......"
Zhu Ping'an said in his heart.
He knew that the price of these herb seeds must be very expensive, and he had already planned for money. However, since Lu Qian accepted it today, he also pushed the boat with the current, and after a few casual excuses, he was no longer polite.
"Miss Qin is in the backyard, why don't you go over and take a look?"
After talking about business, Lu Qian asked again, and the meaning of laughter in his tone was very obvious.
In his opinion, Zhu Ping'an made such a flower-like girl live here, and he must have saved the mind of the golden house.
"It's good ......"
How could Zhu Ping'an not understand the meaning of Lu Qian's words, and he didn't explain, so he smiled casually.
In fact, when he came here today, he really wanted to find Qin Xixi, but it was not what Lu Qian thought.
…………
Qin Xi regretted that Zhu Ping'an was coming, so he boiled his favorite fragrant tea.
The two chatted for a few words, and Zhu Ping'an explained his intention with a smile.
He remembered that in front of the grass house behind Hongfu Temple in Xishan, when he first saw Qin Xixi, there were also two flower beds planted in front of the house. Those flowers and plants are extremely bright, and compared with the flowers and plants in this rain villa, they are not even up and down.
At that time, he paid attention to his heart, and said in his heart, Is Miss Qin also a master here?
Later, he asked Xiao Apple that the climate of South Vietnam is warm and moist, which is the most suitable for the growth of flowers and tea trees.
As the princess of Nanyue, Qin Xixi has practiced all kinds of female reds since she was a child, and planting flowers and tea is a compulsory course, so she is naturally one of the masters.
I came here today for this purpose.
"The little marquis's idea is novel. This grafting technique has been practiced since ancient times, but it is just such a complicated hybrid method, but it is a pity that it is the first time I have heard of it. ”
After listening to Zhu Ping'an's thoughts, Qin Xixi pondered for a long time before speaking.
"Is this going to work?"
Zhu Ping'an saw that Qin Xixi didn't say it explicitly, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"If it was a few days ago, I might not dare to say that I am sure. Now in this mountain villa, the climate is suddenly somewhat similar to my South Vietnam, if the little marquis has seeds, give a few more days, cherish the believe, should be able to live up to the trust of the little marquis......"
Saying this, a confident smile appeared on Qin Xixi's cold face.
Zhu Ping'an was overjoyed when he heard this, and applauded repeatedly.
Although he knew how to breed new varieties, he did not have the skills. Planting flowers and grass is meticulous work, and it takes a lot of effort, and even if he is willing to learn, he is too lazy to spend a lot of thought on this kind of thing.
Today, with Qin Xixi raising flowers and grass for him, it saved him a lot of trouble.
After Zhu Ping'an said goodbye, Qin Xixi looked at his departing back and couldn't help but be a little distracted.
She felt that this little marquis was becoming more and more incomprehensible, obviously a little gentleman in everyone's mouth, not only could write lyrics, but also could see diseases, and even knew how to breed flowers and plants.
"What kind of person are you?"
Qin Xi sighed leisurely.
