Chapter 178: The Tea Garden Meets Yiwei
After Xiao Mingyue returned to the palace and experienced the turmoil, she remembered that she was going to the Camellia Forest, otherwise she would miss the good season of this year, and the gains would outweigh the losses.
So he asked the emperor for instructions, and Chen Xian sent Chun'an and Chen Li to protect Xiao Mingyue on the way.
Amber and Caiwei followed the road to take care of them.
So Chen Li and Chun'an drove the carriage and drove Xiao Mingyue, Amber and Cai Wei straight to the camellia forest on the outskirts of the city.
In the carriage, while driving the car, Chen Li turned his head to Xiao Mingyue and said, "If it weren't for the county lord's sister who saved me when she was a child, Li'er would have been starved to death on the streets." The county lord's sister saves her life, and Li'er has to repay the county lord's sister for being a cow and a horse in this life!"
Xiao Mingyue motioned for Amber to lift the curtain slightly, and then said with a smile: "Don't say that, you are a little child wandering on the streets, how can Your Majesty and I sit idly by!" Now you can learn and improve, and it will not be in vain for us to save you! Don't talk about being a cow or a horse, where does anyone want you to be a cow and a horse!"
Chen Li scratched his head, and then said with a smile: "What the county lord's sister said is that Li'er must live up to the trust and be a man who stands up to the sky!"
"So good! Chen Guo has a hard-working teenager like you, and he will definitely live for a long time!"
"There is a fairy-like woman like the county lord's sister in the world, and she will also be leveled in the four seas, and the sea will be clear and the river will be clear!" Chen Li said.
"This kid has such a sweet mouth, he can talk like this, and he can't make people feel pain!" Amber said with a smile.
"I'm already a big kid, and in the New Year, I'll be fourteen! It's a man! You can go into battle to kill the enemy and defend your home and country!" Chen Limei said with a fluttering eyebrow.
Xiao Mingyue and Amber, Cai Wei, Chun'an and others all laughed when they heard this, and admired Xiao Chen Li in their hearts.
After a while, the carriage came to the tea garden.
Cai Wei and Amber helped Xiao Mingyue get out of the carriage, "County Lord, we're here!" Cai Wei said.
Get off the carriage, then come to the outside of the tea garden, across the fence to see the fragrance of camellia flowers coming, looking at it from a distance, white, yellow, red, pink, purple ......, dazzling.
"It's so beautiful here! No wonder the county lord is looking forward to coming to enjoy the flowers every day!" Cai Wei exclaimed as she stared at the camellia in the garden.
"Competing for beauty, this is not dazzling!" Amber couldn't help but say.
"Let's go inside! This garden is huge! That's enough for you to shop for half a day!" Xiao Mingyue said to a few people.
When Chen Li heard this, he immediately tied up his horse, Chun'an took the snack box, and Amber and Cai Wei followed behind Xiao Mingyue left and right.
In the middle of the room, there was a woman who was a caretaker of the garden, surnamed Bai, a widow in her fifties, and had no children. Therefore, Yuwendi saw that she was pitiful, and as soon as she bought this garden, she asked people to guard this garden, two wooden houses, and sent someone to send her silver on time, and her only task was to take care of the garden, pruning the branches and leaves of the camellia tree from time to time, sweeping the fallen leaves, etc., idle and comfortable.
I saw Yu Wendi and Xiao Mingyue come earlier, and because Yu Wendi specially instructed that Xiao Mingyue was the owner of this garden, he gave Xiao Mingyue the title deed.
So this sister-in-law Bai only thought they were a couple, and when she saw Xiao Mingyue bringing the maid and servant over today, she hurriedly ran out and saluted very politely and said, "The girl is here!" Hurry inside, please!"
"Sister-in-law Bai, I want to see how the camellia blooms this year!" Xiao Mingyue said.
Then he turned to Chun'an and said, "Bring the snacks you brought and give some to Sister-in-law Bai!"
Chun'an listened to Xiao Mingyue's words, handed one of the food boxes containing various fruit cakes to Sister-in-law Bai, and said, "This is for you!"
Sister-in-law Bai hurriedly excused herself and said: "Don't you dare, the girl just appreciates her face, how can you be embarrassed to accept the girl's food!" On weekdays, Ding Fu came to give me moon silver, which was enough for me to live, and the girl often asked people to send things over, I couldn't imagine that my wife, who was lonely and widowed for most of her life, still had such a good blessing!"
Xiao Mingyue then stuffed the food box into Sister-in-law Bai's hand, and said with a smile: "You can accept it!" It is not easy for you to take good care of this garden on a daily basis. In addition, since this garden is in my name, I will pay you your monthly money in the future!"
Sister-in-law Bai looked at the heavy food box in her hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "My wife, I am idle and idle." But the girl and Yuwen Gongzi are not all the same! My wife is clumsy, but I can also see that the son is really considerate to the girl, and the girl should accept the child's sincerity, and you look ......"
Before she finished speaking, she heard Chun'an "cough" at Sister-in-law Bai, who looked at Chun'an suspiciously, looked at Xiao Mingyue aggrievedly, and said softly: "What...... Did the old man say the wrong thing?!"
Xiao Mingyue also looked at Chun'an, who was silent with her head down, smiled softly, and said to Sister-in-law Bai: "It's nothing, this is my house slave, and he is very oriented towards me on weekdays, for fear that others will take advantage of me in the slightest." "
Chun An raised her head slightly and smiled at Sister-in-law Bai, who was no longer suspicious and set off to take Xiao Mingyue and her party to the garden.
A few people admired the flowers along the way, chatting and chatting about some gardening knowledge skills about planting flowers and raising trees.
"I didn't expect this camellia to bloom more colorful than I imagined! It makes people want to leave!" Xiao Mingyue stared at a camellia tree full of twelve colors and exclaimed.
"Wow! It turns out that there really is a camellia tree that can bloom so many colors! I thought it was just a rumor!" Amber said in surprise.
"Yes! In the past, I only heard from others, but today I can see it with my own eyes!" Cai Wei exclaimed.
"And what you don't expect! There are two camellias that bloom in 18 colors this year, look! It's the two in the southeast!" Sister-in-law Bai pointed and said.
Everyone looked from afar, and they really saw the two purple and red, colorful, standing among the hundreds of trees.
"Miss!"
"County Lord"
"Let's go over and see it together!"
Amber and Cai Wei said in unison.
"Good! Let's go! There are also Li'er and Chun'an, you two should go over together, this eighteen-colored camellia is a rare sight!" Xiao Mingyue turned her head and said to Chen Li and Chun'an who were following behind.
"Yes, Sister Lord!" Chen Li said.
"Yes, County Lord!" Chun An said.
"If you come out, you don't need to count so many courtesies, let's go over quickly!" Xiao Mingyue said.
From far and near, they came to the front of the two camellia trees, and they were really indiscriminately charming and charming, Cai Wei and Amber hurriedly counted them one by one, "Ivory white, lotus pollen, chicken blood red, grape purple, forehead yellow, warm sun orange ......"
From beginning to end, there are enough eighteen colors, and many of them are clear and vivid.
"It's amazing! The minion has grown so big, it's really the first time I've seen this 'Eighteen Scholars'! I can't even open the palace head, I can't imagine that there is one here now! It's a surprise!" Chun An said.
"Eighteen bachelors? It turns out that this flower is called Eighteen Bachelors?!" Cai Wei asked.
"I also said it for the gardeners of your imperial garden, they have never been able to cultivate such a famous 'Eighteen Bachelors', and they have tried a lot of breeding and grafting methods, but I didn't expect that the minions were fortunate enough to witness the real 'Eighteen Bachelors' today!" Chun An said.
"It seems that the rare and colorful flowers in the real world like to be born in the countryside, and they don't like to compete for beauty!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"These two plants looked the same at first as the others, the same germination, long flowers, bones, flowers, and after a heavy rain the other day, gradually one after the other, so mouth-watering. The old body thinks that this flower must be spiritual, and knows that the girl is coming, and it is for the girl to see!" The white sister-in-law slipped her beard and patted the horse.
"You've won the prize, and I hope you will take care of them in the future!" Xiao Mingyue said to the Bai family.
"That's that, I'm fine, I'll take care of them with my heart!" Sister-in-law Bai said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of bird chirping from above the sky.
Everyone looked up and saw two sharp-tailed swifts hovering in the sky one after the other, calling at Xiao Mingyue.
"Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, why are you here?!" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help asking.
Immediately, the two flew down lightly and landed on Xiao Mingyue's outstretched right arm.
"Sister County Lord, be careful!" Chen Li hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"It's okay, Li'er, they won't hurt me!" Xiao Mingyue said with a smile.
"Little black, little white, I haven't seen you for many days, but you have gained a lot of weight!" Amber couldn't help but say.
"Why are the two of them here?" Cai Wei said.
"Someone's coming!" Chen Li said vigilantly.
Then there was a slight sound of footsteps, and everyone looked back to see a man dressed in cloud black, with his hair tied and sideburns hanging down on both sides, walking expressionlessly.
"Yiwei?!" Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but say.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the County Lord!"
"No need to be polite, why did you come here, did something happen to Yuwendi?!"
"Childe, everything is fine, the county lord doesn't need to worry!"
"Then why don't you guard him in a good way, what are you doing here?!"
"My subordinates are ordered by the prince to take the county lord back to the Taishi Mansion!"
"Bold, the Wei people dare to come here to make a mistake!" Chen Li said, and after speaking, he hurriedly pulled out the saber on his waist.
"Li'er, don't be rude, he's not an enemy now, he's just coming to me!" Xiao Mingyue said.
"Sister County Lord, do you want to leave with him! Li'er didn't agree! Your Majesty will never agree! Chun'an, you always serve in front of Your Majesty, you say yes?!" Chen Li said to Chun'an.
"Yes! County Lord, you must not leave with this person of unknown origin! It's not good, the minions will be ruined when they go back!" Chun'an hurriedly knelt down and said.
"Your Royal Highness, the prince ordered me to bring you back. Now that Jiankang City is full of party and Rouran spies, it is safest for you to stay in the Taishi Mansion, please go back with me!" Yi Wei also said.
"Nonsense, the county lord stays in the palace, His Majesty will send someone to protect him, you don't have to worry about it, you are the one who snatched the county lord from the hands of the party people before, and now you want to do it again?!" Chun An looked at Yi Wei vigilantly and said.
"Let me take His Royal Highness the county lord away, it's not up to you to say!" Yi Wei looked at Chun An and Chen Li coldly.
"Seeing that you are a master, why don't we try to compete? If I can win against you, not only will you not be able to take the county lord's sister away, but you will have to go back with me as a hostage!" Chen Li said to Yiwei.
"If I win, make way for me!" Yi Wei said.
