Chapter 22 The Beloved Thing of Our Lord
It was about noon, the sunlight outside the house was not as strong as before, but it was enough to make people dazzle, and when I looked around, I just saw a small piece of lush purple bamboo forest, standing in the courtyard, a gust of wind blew through the bamboo leaves and shook a few times, a little circle circled in the air a few times, and finally fell to the ground slowly.
Three days have passed, the imperial doctor personally took off the strip for Chu Xiaomeng, and in the past few days, he smeared the medicine on his head, soaked some cool leaf juice and left some marks on it, and after the towel soaked in water was wiped, there was no trace, and when he opened his eyes, he was a pair of Chu Chu moving eyes.
After applying medicine in the past few days, her eyelids are itchy, Chu Xiaomeng can feel that her eyes are getting better little by little, and now that she has removed the strip, she really believes that her eyes are cured.
Her gaze searched for the outside of the courtyard without any suspense, and only immediately withdrew when she was stimulated by the bright light, squinting her eyes and trying to get used to it. Seeing this, Cheng's father-in-law moved his body to block some light for her, and the imperial doctor let her slowly get used to it.
Chu Xiaomeng is in a very good mood, she likes the sun and such a bright environment. People who fear the dark have a unique attachment to light, just like the people who travel in the desert have the same desire for water, if she could, she really wished she could bathe in the sun forever, but unfortunately day and night always had to alternate, she always had to survive the long night to wait for the light.
Rubbing his eyes with both hands, Chu Xiaomeng stopped and looked at the hands in front of him, and suddenly felt a little trance, no longer reaching out and missing his five fingers.
Cheng's father-in-law wrote down all the things ordered by the imperial doctor, and at the end he sent people to the door, after all, he was a person from the imperial hospital, and some things still had to be done. When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Chu Xiaomeng stumbling to the purple bamboo forest in the courtyard.
Chu Xiaomeng was curious to touch these purple bamboos, looking very interested. Seeing this, Cheng's father-in-law smiled and explained to her that this purple bamboo forest was the beloved plant of the wild goose prince, or did he get it with a lot of thought at that time.
Chu Xiaomeng stretched out his hand and picked a bamboo leaf that was forked into four small leaves, and played with it in his hand, Cheng Gonggong felt that his heart was dripping blood little by little, fortunately, the prince was not here.
"Xiaomeng, do you like this bamboo?" Father-in-law Cheng asked tentatively, after listening to Father-in-law Cheng, who has been blowing water for several days, the current Chu Xiaomeng is like an encyclopedia in the eyes of Father-in-law Cheng, as if she can tell her a thing or two.
This purple bamboo is indeed the beloved thing of the wild goose prince, but it is really too difficult to raise, when he transplanted it from the realm of Mobei, there were a total of ten plants, and three of them died after only a month, and the remaining seven plants also had a few diseases, and he let people tie the bamboo body so that it would not tilt down.
Chu Xiaomeng took the bamboo leaves in her hand and walked around a few times, she heard from the people in the courtyard that the wild goose was allergic to dust, so it was absolutely impossible to plant flowers in his yard, but it was not bad to plant a small piece of bamboo. Second, bamboo itself is a noble plant, which is an excellent foil to the owner's noble temperament.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaomeng remembered that when he was chased and killed that day and met the wild goose, the man was wearing a blue official robe, and the jade tree stood there in the wind, which suddenly made Chu Xiaomeng think of a poem, which can be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed, this is probably the so-called noble temperament? Chu Xiaomeng didn't understand, but it seemed to be quite a match for the Lord of the Wild Goose.
"The colors are good, and it can be seen that they are carefully cared for, but the bamboo leaves are curly, and it looks like the state of this bamboo is not very good." Chu Xiaomeng only muttered his conjecture, but he didn't expect Cheng Gonggong to look like he had met the savior, and nodded wildly with excitement, which made Chu Xiaomeng stunned.
"I'll tell you the truth, this purple bamboo is our prince's beloved thing, but it is difficult to encounter it in Daliang, I thought it could be cultivated like ordinary bamboo, but three of them died in only a month, and I couldn't see what was wrong when I looked for someone. The soil and fertilizer are the best and should not be like this. Speaking of this, Cheng's father-in-law was depressed, his prince finally liked a thing, and he could mess it up for him.
Chu Xiaomeng squatted down, grabbed a handful of black soil and held it in his hand for a while, and then gently swept away some of the soil covering it to reveal the rhizome of the purple bamboo, and sure enough, some of the rhizomes had already appeared to fester. Chu Xiaomeng suddenly remembered one thing, she remembered that when she was a child, her grandmother's family raised bonsai, because the potted soil was replaced with extremely fertile inorganic soil, because the drainage ability of the soil was not strong, the potted soil was compacted, and too much water would make the bonsai rot its roots, and then the bonsai would die.
According to Cheng's father-in-law, the soil here was also filled later, and it was not directly picked and planted in the yard, so it seems that it is not much different from bonsai in essence.
Chu Xiaomeng didn't know if what he said was right or not, but it wasn't impossible to give it a try.
"Grandpa Cheng, can you get volcanic rock?" Chu Xiaomeng asked Cheng's father-in-law without any hope, she didn't know if Cheng's father-in-law could understand what she was talking about, she had learned a little when she was learning home decoration at that time, and she could be regarded as knowing a little bit about fur.
Chu Xiaomeng didn't expect Cheng Gonggong to really get it, Chu Xiaomeng pointed out that it was a dirt problem, and he was convinced of her, and boasted to Chu Xiaomeng with great confidence about his ability, if he was afraid of anything, he would get these things that were not common to others.
As the name suggests, volcanic rock is a kind of inorganic sand soil from the crater, which contains natural nutrients that are conducive to the growth of bonsai, porous, and permeable, and this porous volcanic rock is conducive to the growth of bonsai. Chu Xiaomeng had heard of this before, but she wasn't sure if there was really a volcano in this continent, after all, she didn't know much about this place, but since Cheng Gonggong said that he could get it, it might exist.
Cheng Gonggong felt more and more that Chu Xiaomeng was a little Fuwa, too much in line with his taste in all aspects, and a little girl who was proficient in everything, eccentric and clever and sensible, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he must let his prince take her.
"Father-in-law Cheng, thank you for taking care of me these days, now my eyes and the injuries on my body are almost healed, and it doesn't seem very suitable to live here with the prince anymore. I'd like to move back to the hospital today. Chu Xiaomeng sat cross-legged on the spot, fortunately, the area under the small bamboo forest didn't let the sun shine, and he was not afraid of hemorrhoids on his butt tomorrow when he sat down like this.
After hearing this, Cheng's father-in-law really stepped down his whole face, and it looked like a child had lost something beloved, and it looked strange and pitiful.
"Don't be in such a hurry, it's not too late to wait for the prince to come back." Cheng's father-in-law also squatted down, but he was not as casual as Chu Xiaomeng, picked up the bamboo leaves that fell on the ground, and tore them in his hand, Chu Xiaomeng was actually amused.
"I told the prince before, and since I entered the mansion, I haven't started working yet, and I don't know how much money has been deducted. The most important thing is that I heard that the wild goose does not light the lamp when he sleeps, and I have been disturbed here for several days, and the prince has not had a good rest these days. You think, the prince must be very tired when he comes back from a business trip for several days, and he can't let the prince even rest well. Chu Xiaomeng is serious nonsense, and there seems to be some truth in such nonsense, which makes it difficult to refute.
Thinking of Lord Yan, Chu Xiaomeng felt uncomfortable. Originally, she was fine when she was blind, at least she didn't have so many scruples when she talked to Lord Yan. In the past few days, when she is alone, she will think about some unnecessary things, and when she thinks of the wild goose, her heart will be chaotic, she has never felt this kind of feeling before, all in all, it is not a very good thing for her.
Chu Xiaomeng, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, has become accustomed to such a heartless and lungless life, and by chance she has been supported by people, and the good food and drink have allowed her to enjoy such comfortable days for several days, and suddenly there are so many strange cares, she was caught off guard.
I've been greedy for a few days, and I don't dare to go deeper.
Chu Xiaomeng can enjoy the things she got without distractions, but she can't let herself accept the kindness handed by others with peace of mind, which is probably a state of self-protection that she has formed over the years.
Cheng Gonggong naturally couldn't say anything about Chu Xiaomeng, and he didn't have any position to say it. Chu Xiaomeng is right, since she entered the palace, the palace has been like a fried pot, and naturally someone is pointing at her. Although Cheng Gonggong had a special expectation of the result in his heart, he would never tolerate anyone being a little disrespectful to Chu Xiaomeng, and most of those who dared to spread the word to the tip of his ears were also sent away by him.
Cheng's father-in-law didn't give much advice, but asked Chu Xiaomeng to move out the next day, saying that it was for people to clean up her room, although Chu Xiaomeng didn't understand what there was to clean up in her empty and pitiful room, but Cheng's father-in-law said that she couldn't refuse anymore when it came to this song.
Chu Xiaomeng didn't expect that she would become an iron buddy with a father-in-law in just seven days, and most importantly, this buddy was quite considerate of her.
Cheng Gonggong is the kind of person who doesn't like anyone and disdains anyone, but if he really values anyone, he will dig out his heart and lungs. Looking at his twelve-point heart for his family Yan Wangye, Chu Xiaomeng suddenly felt that he was quite lucky.
With such an iron buddy as Father-in-law Cheng, at least her life in the Yanwang Mansion will be much better, it feels good to have someone to support her, who dares to provoke her, Father-in-law Cheng will be the first to let her get out of the palace.
