Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Gentleman's Back Garden
It's no wonder that Wang Jian misunderstood, in ancient times, it was common for dignitaries to give away their own concubines, the most famous of which was Su Dongpo, who gave pregnant concubines to others. The concubine's name was Chunniang, and Su Dongpo wanted to exchange her for a white horse, but she crashed into Huai and died in shame.
And as a person who has crossed over, he naturally doesn't understand these unspoken rules.
Seeing that Wang Jian was a little contemptuous, Qianqian hurriedly got up and knelt down, crying aggrievedly, and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Zheng is only willing to rescue him when he has an old relationship with his father, and he is afraid of gossip. ”
Wang Jian had to admire her intelligence, but because of her casual eyes, she understood her heart, and her words made Wang Jian embarrassed.
Qianqian said: "Ask the emperor to be merciful and forgive Uncle Zheng's crime of deception, otherwise, the people's daughter will not be able to kneel for a long time." ”
Because of the kneeling posture, the underwear was open, and he couldn't wait to kneel shallow at this time.
Qianqian didn't hear Wang Jian speak for a long time, so he raised his head and met Wang Jian's eyes. She suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly put her hands on her chest again.
When the voyeur was caught, Wang Jian couldn't help but blush, he had a small amount of alcohol, and he was poured all night, and now his blood was surging, and he suddenly felt uncomfortable tightness in his stomach, and suddenly lay in the corner of the wall and vomited "wow".
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Wang Qianqian saw that he vomited heavily, and asked in a low voice.
"Well, I'm fine, just a little dizzy." Wang Jian said honestly.
"Sickness? Didn't you drink mare's milk wine? Yes, I heard that mare's milk wine has a lot of stamina, if it weren't for the emperor's bravery, ordinary men would have climbed down a long time ago, and they could still hold on to the present? Wang Qianqian thought, now Wang Jian is like a big hero in her mind, how can she know that Wang Jian is actually a famous cup of pour. She got out of bed, approved a coat, went to get hot water, patted Wang Jian's back with her little hand, and took care of Wang Jian carefully on the side.
Wang Jian felt that his stomach was about to vomit, and finally felt better, he finished his mouth, and lay comfortably on the bed and didn't want to move anymore.
"Your Majesty..."Wang Qianqian knelt beside the bed, neither to leave nor to stay.
Wang Jian personally covered up the close-fitting clothes for Qianqian, and said, "Let's talk about something tomorrow." Woo... I'm sleepy, let's sleep. He still had some doubts when he saw the shallowness, so he said: "Don't think about it, you are not a commodity at the mercy of others, but a guest I invited, you know?" ”
Wang Qianqian knew that Wang Jian was taking care of her face, and her heart was sweet, she felt that Wang Jian was scary when she was domineering, and warm when she was gentle.
How did she know that Wang Jian was really colorless and had no color, because she drank too much and was uncomfortable, she really couldn't be interested.
The night in Jinan in early June was still a little cool, shallow and shallow at the beginning of the corner, and after falling asleep in the middle of the night, the cat unknowingly fell into Wang Jian's arms.
Early in the morning, Yao'er sent washing utensils, it seemed that the movement in this room was not small last night, she also looked at the bed with a ghostly look, but she didn't see anything, and her little face couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Wang Jian knocked her head angrily: "What are you looking at!" ”
Yao'er smiled "hehe", but she was embarrassed to get up, and hid in the thin quilt with a blushing face.
Wang Jian asked, "Is there any news about Cui Dazhuang?" ”
Yao'er waited for Wang Jian to wash up, nodded and said, "Well, Brother Cui has sent news that he has pacified the bandits in Denglai Erfu, and the total number of people relocated is more than 600,000, and he has arrived in Laiyang City. ”
Wang Jian was a little worried, this army was in chaos, Cui Dazhuang only brought more than 3,000 people, and he had to protect the safety of 600,000 people along the way.
"Ugh." Wang Jian is also worth sighing, there is really no one around him, and the thirteen Taibao of Dongchang have all been sent to the state capitals to assist the officials in relocating the people. The concubine led the "Iron Blood Army" and couldn't get out, Chen Yuanyuan was strong in martial arts, but please don't move. As for the others, they are all rough people with troops, and if they are asked to do such a careful thing as moving people, I am afraid that they will also be dissatisfied, and if there is a looting phenomenon halfway, it will be difficult to clean up.
Yao'er couldn't bear Wang Jian's worries, so she changed the topic and said: "Brother Emperor, this garden is so beautiful, full of strange flowers and plants that the slave family has never seen,"
Sure enough, Wang Jian's interest was aroused: "Oh? Anything else you haven't seen? ”
"Well, some flowers and plants are not even recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and the slave maid has never seen them." Yao'er said excitedly.
Wang Jian was also very surprised when she heard Yao'er say this, you must know that Yao'er was in Wuyingdian for a few days, but she studied the "Compendium of Materia Medica" written and annotated by Li Shizhen, Wenlinlang. In Wang Jian's opinion, with Yao'er's talent, no one can match her in terms of grass and tree attainments.
During the small talk with Yao'er, Qianqian had already gotten up, and while serving Wang Jian and dressing with Yao'er, he answered: "Your Majesty, that is the people's daughter's uncompetitive brother doesn't know where to get it back," Qianqian's expression darkened, and continued: "At first, when my father was here, the family was honest, and I liked famous flowers and plants and bought a lot of silver, but later..."
Wang Jian said: "Don't be the emperor, the emperor is called Shengfen, I used the pseudonym Wang Jian when I left Beijing, why don't you call Brother Jian according to the folk name?" ”
Seeing that the emperor said this, Qianqian had to call "Brother Jane" shyly.
Yao'er was innocent and romantic, and had no desire to compete for favor, so she immediately saluted Qianqian: "The slave maid has seen Sister Qian." ”
Yao'er's indisputable heart made her very favored by Wang Jian, and she always accompanied Wang Jian as a maidservant, and she was the one who accompanied Wang Jian the longest among all the girls.
Yao'er's humble "sister" won a shallow love, and she was also flattered and hurriedly returned the gift.
After the two girls finished the ceremony, Wang Jian asked, "What happened later?" ”
"Later, my brother heard that someone had brought a strange flower from the south, and he had no silver taels, and the man bid highly, so he went to Ruyi Fang, and owed a lot of silver, which was seized from the gambling house." Said shallow sorrow.
Wang Jian was sad when she saw that she was shallow, and she also felt very sorry for her, so she grabbed her and said, "Let's go, take me to visit your homeland, and I'll send someone to pick you up." When no one is around, he still likes to call himself "I", firstly, it is easy to say, and secondly, to narrow the distance between him and the women.
Wang Qian's fingers were slender, and Wang Jian grabbed it in his hand, and suddenly felt a coolness in his palm, which was very comfortable.
The three of them came to the northeast corner of the Autumn Willow Garden, Wang Jian was holding the shallow along the way, the summer heat in June was not light, and the palms of the two did not have any sweat stains.
I saw that this place is not like the back garden of ordinary wealthy people, but more like a botanical garden in later generations. The whole courtyard is green, the variety is so rich, many plants even Wang Jian has never seen, no wonder Yao'er said that this garden is strange, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "full of flowers, strange flowers and flowers".
"Brother Jane, these are all planted by my brother who is not angry, and it is not good to gain fame," said Qianqian as he walked.
At first, Wang Jian only had the intention of visiting the garden with beauty, but soon he was attracted by a few plants, on which a few round pink fruits hung were very eye-catching.
Wang Jian took a closer look, rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Tomatoes!" ”
"What? Brother Emperor, you say it's called tomatoes? Yao'er was still researching a succulent plant when she heard Wang Jian screaming.
"Hmm. Well! Wang Jian was very excited, after more than two months, he finally saw the familiar and favorite ingredients, and he felt a kind of joy to meet his old acquaintance in a foreign country.
"Is this also a persimmon? It doesn't seem to be the same as a normal persimmon, so why doesn't it grow on a tree? Yao'er was also surprised.
"Is it called a tomato?" Shallow also curious.
"Yes, the meat is tender, juicy and sweet." Wang Jian excitedly picked one off and was about to bite it.
"Brother Emperor, let's try it as a slave." Yao'er hurriedly stopped.
"Brother Jane, don't, my brother only uses it as an ornamental object, and he has never eaten it." Shallow also persuaded.
Seeing that they were worried about themselves, Wang Jian pinched Yao'er's little face affectionately, and said with a smile: "What, if you encounter something delicious, you have to grab it from me?" After saying that, he took a bite.
Yao'er hurriedly argued, "No," she also knew that Wang Jian was making fun of her, or she made a big red face.
The entrance only feels sour, not very sweet, as if it is not ripe, but look at its color does not look like it is unripe. Wang Jian thought about it and understood, presumably this is its original taste, but it has been improved in later generations.
Wang Jian couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and took off two more and gave them to Qianqian and Yao'er: "You can also taste it, it tastes great, juicy and sweet." ”
When the two girls heard this, they also took a big bite of the tomatoes, and suddenly felt extremely sour, especially Yao'er, Wang Jian deliberately gave her a half-ripe green tomato, her little face was squeezed into a ball of sourness, her eyebrows were frowned, her small mouth was slightly pouted, and she was very cute and cute.
Yao'er was the first to reflect, holding Wang Jian's arm and coquettishly, shallow and coquettish, while Wang Jian laughed "haha" on the side.
didn't laugh for a while, Wang Jian had a more surprising discovery. I saw an inconspicuous open space next to the tomatoes, and there was a plant similar to the bamboo leafy vegetables, but the leaves were much wider than the bamboo leafy vegetables.
"Your brother still grows this?" Wang Jian was completely shocked.
"Brother Jane, what did you say?" Shallow was also asked inexplicably.
"This, sweet potato, where did it come from?" Wang Jian hurriedly asked.
Seeing that Wang Jian was carrying a bunch of plants in the shape of large rhizomes, he was happy like a child, and thought for a while: "It was sold to my brother by a merchant from the south, saying that it could be eaten, but my brother asked someone to fry a plate, and I also ate it, and the taste was average, so I discarded it here, but I didn't expect such a large piece to grow." ”
Qianqian was also very puzzled, the average taste of green cabbage leaves actually made Wang Jian so happy.
Wang Jian was also speechless when she heard what she said, but she didn't expect her shallow brother to fry the leaves as green vegetables and discard the real baby rhizomes, which is simply stupid enough to buy and return the pearls!
The subsequent discovery made Wang Jian more and more excited, and successively discovered potatoes, corn and other crops, and even peppers, which were also stupidly kept in flower pots by Wang Shizhen as ornamental plants.
