Text Chapter 459 Legend has it that Penglai once borrowed three points of aura
The conflict that happened on the Mingyue Tower did not start on the spot after all. Although all the arrogant children are very excited after drinking and want to see some blood, the Ji family still has to give face. Liu Xing's eyes rolled, he said hello to Ji Zhun, and led the people to take the lead.
The second son of the Ji family, who thought that this matter would end like this, put his mind at ease, and then persuaded several princes and princes, and when they talked about the reason, these people were still indignant in their mouths.
"The marquis of An Guo's big wedding and the princess's marriage were originally an extremely beneficial thing for the royal family. When we came to Chang'an, we heard all the sounds of blessings. But I didn't expect those guys to say disrespectful things here, which is really unreasonable! ”
"That's it! These bastards, I didn't deal with them when I was a child, and I used to fight with them when I went back to Chang'an...... This time, he actually said that we came to catch up with Yuanhou, so there is no need to mention the ugly thing he said! The most infuriating thing is that they actually said that Yuanhou's marriage can not be realized? Brother Ji, you come to judge the judges, should they fight or not! ”
“…… If you want me to say, I should have taught them a hard lesson just now...... Isn't it great to have an old guy in the family who is a big man? Can he manage the lawlessness in the clan, can he still manage the marriage that the son has personally agreed to...... What a nosy! ”
The brothers led by Liu Dongfang, the prince of Hejian, are not good at stubble, and they are angry and noisy, and they have the potential to not give up.
Ji Zhun had already figured out what was going on at this time, he comforted a few people with a smile on his face, and asked them to continue to sit down and drink, since they were all good brothers who came to Chang'an to congratulate Yuanhou Daxi, it was naturally not said that Mingyue Lou was free of charge, and he drank as much as he wanted!
Only then did several princes turn their anger into joy and loudly praised the Ji family's elder brother for his righteousness. It's not that they lack this little money for wine, but it's a matter of face.
After calming them down, the restaurant returned to calm, and all the drinkers watched the excitement and continued to drink as usual after the discussion. Something like this is nothing, but it happens from time to time in Mingyue Tower, so it's not surprising.
Ji Zhun's face was silent, and when he turned around, he was already secretly surprised in his heart. From the dispute between Liu Xing and Liu Dongfang, the royal children just now, it can be known that Yuan Zhao's marriage seems to be extremely variable!
Nothing in the world is out of nowhere. As a child of the Ji family, Ji Zhun inherited the cautious and astute nature of the Ji family very well, and he sensed a hint of conspiracy from it. Although he couldn't be sure yet, he felt it was necessary to immediately reveal this information to Yuan Zhao.
So, half an hour later, the second son of the Ji family, who came to the Hou Mansion of Changle on a fast horse, was introduced to the back garden of the Hou Mansion and saw Yuan Zhao, who was carefully twiping the crops planted in a strangely shaped greenhouse.
In a few years to build a new mansion, the housekeeper Yuan Yi in charge fully adhered to the will of his own lord, not luxury, advocating simplicity, rational use of land, and trying to be practical. Especially in this backyard, a large piece of ground was set aside as an "experimental base" specially requested by Hou Ye, to try to plant all kinds of rare plants brought back by the fleet from different places according to Yuan Zhao's requirements.
This place is carved out of the backyard alone, covering an area of only a few acres, and there is nothing peculiar about it. But since last year, this place has been divided into a forbidden area by the guards led by the housekeeper Yuanyi, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.
This is not Yuan Zhao's request, but the rules set by Yuan Yi and the guards for the people in the house, because in the eyes of these simple men, their own marquis is carrying out many "experiments" in this place. How can such a matter as important as a heavenly opportunity be leaked casually!
Yuan Zhao couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw their solemn appearance and the awe-inspiring look in their eyes. How old is it worth being so cautious? Isn't it just his own whim, feeling that such a large vacant land is idle and wasteful, and wants to get a few vegetable greenhouses to grow some fresh vegetables and fruits to see if it works! However, looking at these dozen or so men who had loyally sacrificed their lives and shed blood for the Hou Mansion, he didn't say anything, but just accepted this loyalty wordlessly.
In fact, from a few years ago, Yuan Zhao had this idea, wanting to use the greenhouse planting technology of later generations to grow some vegetables and fruits that were not well known in this era, and gradually popularize them, so that the world has more delicious food, which is also a good thing.
Once upon a time, he had more than enough heart but not enough strength. However, with the gradual deepening of the east-west-north-south trade routes, the fleet has been able to reach the overseas islands, and some of the things and species that he named and wanted that seemed strange to outsiders also gathered from all directions little by little. For this reason, Yuan Zhao specially selected a few people to manage these crop seeds from overseas islands or Lingnan Jianghuai for him, and when he was ready to plant them well, he could see if he could successfully breed in this northern land.
Planting on Changle Plateau was originally an excellent location, but it has always been entangled in various affairs, either going on expeditions or busy with the affairs of Chang'an College, but it has not been convenient. Moreover, the climate inside and outside the city is very different, and he is afraid that if he rashly cultivates on Changle Plateau, if it fails, he will spoil these species that he has worked so hard to collect. Therefore, it is better to experiment with planting on this large open space behind his mansion in Chang'an City to see how the effect is.
The first time he did these things a thousand years ago, for Yuan Zhao, who is not a professional, his expectations for success are not very high. After all, he doesn't know much about agriculture, that is, some basic theories, and whether he can succeed in specific operations depends on luck.
Fortunately, he was lucky, as if God was helping him. After last autumn, I began to take the time to go back to the house to tinker with these greenhouses, after a winter and half a spring, from the snowflakes to the pear blossoms, and when the peach blossoms bloomed outside and the greenery first sprouted, it was already full of greenery, like a Langya fairyland.
It's no wonder that very few people in the house know the inside story, and Yuan Yi, the loyal guards of them, are so solemn here, they are all people who have seen the miracle in front of them with their own eyes. Who will believe it! When the cold wind and snow were blowing outside, the backyard of my house was as warm as spring flowers and green leaves...... And now halfway through the spring, it is full of all kinds of strange fruits. Almost everyone who was lucky enough to have sneaked in and watched it was shocked and speechless. Then swore to each other that they would never say anything like a fairy trick, and the things that Hou Ye planted were probably some Ganoderma lucidum fairy fruits, right? One bite may really prolong your life.
It was in such strict secrecy and protection like watching a treasure that the housekeeper Yuan Yi was extremely reluctant to hear Yuan Zhao's order to bring the second son of the Ji family who came to the house here. However, Hou Ye's orders naturally cannot be disobeyed, he personally led people through the well-guarded backyard passage, came to these few oval-shaped tall sheds that looked ordinary on the outside, opened the heavy cotton curtain at the door, and asked Ji Zhun to go in, the Ji family was still a little puzzled and strange in his heart, and he didn't understand what Yuan Zhao was doing here.
It's just that when he walked in, the first sight he saw made him stunned for a long time without relieving himself, and he thought that there was an illusion in front of him, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously.
A man in a green robe leaned over in a green bush, and was talking to the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy who was respectfully recording in a notebook with an easy-going expression. The young man had a simple face, a pen in his hand that kept memorizing, his eyes flashed with the light of curiosity, and he couldn't wait to remember every word the master said.
The Ji family has a profound meaning and has traveled extensively, and in terms of what they know and hear, Ji Zhun can be regarded as a well-informed person. But the scene that appeared in front of him today broke his previous cognition and made him feel a great shock in his heart. From his eyes, this was a fairy atmosphere that had only been imagined in the notes of the sages and some legends.
“…… Master Hou! Ji Zhun is not talented, once in the bright moon upstairs, but also heard the drinkers talk about some anecdotes, legend has the East China Sea Penglai Immortal Mountain, the four seasons are like spring, strange flowers are undefeated, melons and fruits are prosperous...... Could it be that the Hou Ye has already moved the immortal soil of Penglai in the East China Sea to his own Hou Mansion? ”
After standing for a moment, seeing Yuan Zhao turn his head and smile and nod at him, Ji Zhun couldn't help the surprise in his heart and blurted out a question. But that was what he really thought.
Yuan Zhao straightened up and laughed. It is understandable that people are in awe of the unknown. When it becomes widely available in the future, no one will be surprised anymore. In the past few days, several crops have reached the ripening of the fruits, and after tasting them, they are all good, which makes him very happy.
The disciple with him is named Zhao Guo, and he has not been with him for a long time, he was discovered by chance from those readers of Chang'an Academy, Zhao Guo was recommended by Ling Shikuan, a farmer in charge of agriculture, after Yuan Zhao took him with him, he found that this young man had a very strong interest in the study of farming and farming, so he specially cultivated him, so that he gradually became familiar with the characteristics of these new crops, and recorded them well for later use.
"Haha! The second son said seriously. I am a mortal, where can I do that? But it's all carving insects and small skills...... ”
Yuan Zhao patted Zhao Guo on the shoulder and asked him to observe the record here. Then go and talk to Ji Zhun by himself.
Not long after, Ji Zhun, who completely let go of his worries, happily left the Changle Hou Mansion and rode home, carefully holding a bamboo basket in his arms, which was a basket of ripe "fairy fruits" that had just been picked. Yuan Zhao smiled and said that he was bringing it back for the old man of the Ji family to try it.
"Yuanhou even has such a means...... If someone in Chang'an wants to be unfavorable to him, it must be in vain! ”
Ji Zhun thought about it while returning to Mingyue Tower, and when he turned around the street corner, he didn't see that a few princes and princes who had returned from the banquet were being taken away by a large number of people from the Tingwei Mansion on the street.
