Chapter 19: The Dragon and Snake Hidden in the Flowers

Autumn chrysanthemum is rolling over the waves, fragrant and fragrant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhu Men did not close, and it is obvious that those who come are self-advancing.

The king of Zhenxi prefers flowers and plants, this 'hundred gardens' is its cherished thing, it must be guarded, along the way, although he did not see it, Liu Xi understood that there were soldiers and soldiers hidden at the previous stone bridge, if it was an idle person, I was afraid that he could not enter the quiet bamboo forest path.

Therefore, if you can walk to the top of this stone step, you are the person invited by the king of Zhenxi, and Liu Xi has come here, and he has already learned the strangeness of this 'hundred gardens', how can he stand still?

Don't think too much, he pulled the stunned Wu Shuang'er to the garden, and when he walked in, he walked through the fine stone path between the autumn chrysanthemum gardens, only to find that there are many flowers and plants in the garden, and there are many rare and exotic objects, even in the late autumn season, it is also vigorous and blooming, delicate and moving, which can be described as rare in the world.

As he was walking, there was a sound of chanting in his ears, looking for prestige, and there were many scholars and scholars wearing long robes and wearing square scarves and crowns around the garden, and they were in groups of three or five, shaking their heads and shaking their heads, saying the wonderful sentences that they were proud of.

They weren't the only ones who came today.

Liu Xi said secretly in his heart, and didn't care about those scholars who were selling themselves, and took Wu Shuang'er to find a quiet place to admire the red flowers and green grass in front of him.

Later, seeing that no one was looking at him, he hurriedly collected the paper fan, and walked forward to Liu Xidao, who was marveling at the strangeness of the flowers and plants around, "Brother Yusheng, what should I do now?" ”

What do you mean? Brother Jinchao, didn't Shuang'er and I come here with you? ”

Seeing so many literati and ink writers, Ma Xiu must have felt that he had nothing to do, so he panicked, and how could Liu Xi miss this opportunity to make fun of him, so he didn't look back, and responded with a chuckle.

Striding forward, Ma Xiu stood in front of him, and begged, "Brother Yusheng, you have also seen that in addition to inviting you and me to the king of Zhenxi today, there are also these readers, among them, which one of them has not read through the book of ten thousand volumes, and the poet will come as soon as he opens his mouth?" I still know very well that I have little ability in my heart, and it is difficult to compare with them, so how can I let the king of Zhenxi treat him differently? ”

Ma Xiu was talking, and Wu Shuang'er suddenly put his little hand in front of his mouth, and made a silent movement, and later heard the sound of talking and laughing from the courtyard wall behind him.

"Brother Deyi, why do you need to be so humble? There is no one in the entire Xinyang City who doesn't know that Brother Deyi is talented and talented, and he must win the Xie Yuan in next year's scientific examination, and then easily take off the champion. ”

As soon as this remark fell, it immediately attracted several people to echo it, all of which were praise, as if the talent who said it was so high that there was no rival in the world.

These ridiculous scholars either pretend to be high for the sake of the unwarranted style; Either they tend to be flattering and flattering, and they don't pay attention to it, smiling secretly in their hearts, Liu Xi looks at the flowers and plants swaying in the wind again.

The group of people had not yet left, still saying flattering words, and the person who was called Deyi finally spoke, "Everyone, you are going to be embarrassed, I just read a few more scriptures on weekdays, how can it be so magical, but when it comes to the scientific examination, I am still somewhat sure." ”

It seems that he wants to say something humble, but there is no politeness and restraint in his words, and he is extremely arrogant, as if he is as the previous few people said, omniscient, omniscient.

The momentum of no one in this eye is unpleasant.

Liu Xi was very disgusted, but a few people in the courtyard wall didn't care at all, so as to avoid another burst of slapping words, this time, this person's family background is either rich or expensive.

"Brother Deyi is always this kind of courtesy, Lord Hang has won the trust of the prince, and he has won the champion in the day, and he will definitely be able to be recruited by the prince as the fast son-in-law of the east bed, and he will be able to return the beauty!"

"Yes, yes, when the time comes, don't forget that we are waiting."

A few more sneering echoes, hearing Ma Xiuxue's face turned pale, holding the fan, he was about to step forward, walking through the moon gate full of greenery, wanting to see who was inside the courtyard wall.

Seeing him this, Liu Xi hurriedly grabbed him, "Brother today, don't act recklessly." ”

At this moment, Ma Xiu has fallen in love with Li Ming, so naturally he can't listen to others say these words, and when he comes up, he may fight hard, so that there will inevitably be some entanglements.

Holding the paper fan tightly with both hands, Ma Xiu's face flushed, and then he flicked his sleeves and squatted in front of the steps beside him, and the sound in the courtyard wall continued, and after a few smug chuckles, he heard another person say out, "By the way, Brother Sifang, the guards in the city seem to be a lot stricter in the past two days, could it be that something happened?" ”

"Except for the spies of the Han Kingdom, what can happen, this makes my father very busy, and he didn't return from the camp last night, so I ran out early in the morning, otherwise my ears will be cocooned by my mother. The prince is really, I believe that the iron bucket of Yangcheng is a piece, how can the spies of the Han Kingdom get in, doesn't this make people uneasy! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Quartet, don't say what will happen to the prince when he knows, your father hears it, you have to peel off a layer of skin, okay, the hour is not early, you and I should go early, lest the prince wait there."

When Hang Deyi's words fell, he heard the sound of exclamation and begging for mercy, and after a while, the group laughed and walked away.

I also heard something useful, Liu Xi thought to himself, it turned out that Xinyang City seemed to be no different from the usual, but secretly it was already rumored, and the soldiers were dispatched to search for the mastermind behind the night assassination of Li Ming and others, and to deal with the invasion of the Western Han Dynasty.

It seems that the king of Zhenxi is calm, and this kind of big thing is silent, and he is really courageous.

Just as Liu Xi was secretly thinking to himself, he saw that Ma Xiu got up suddenly, "Brother Yusheng, you have to help with the embroidery, the person valued by the King of Zhenxi must be quick to think, and the tongue spits out the lotus, how can Ma Xiu be able to defeat alone, and please Brother Yusheng help me!" ”

At this moment, Ma Xiu was full of anxiety and worry, grabbing Liu Xi's cuffs with his hand, as if he didn't agree, he wouldn't let go, and had no choice but to nod and answer, "Don't worry, today Shuang'er and I are your scholar's maids, and we will definitely not let my brother lose the limelight." ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, while Wu Shuang'er on the side covered his mouth with his small hands and smiled, "Ma Gongzi, Shuang'er was born in a lonely family, and it is suitable to be a maid, but my son-in-law is your scholar, which is very talented." ”

The horse embroidery immediately thanked again and again, and Wu Shuang'er laughed stupidly again, seeing her like this, Liu Xi was quite happy in his heart, at least the little girl began to gradually forget her sadness, and it was no longer a ripple of tears all day long.

Laughing, I saw that the palace steward who went to the inn to find them yesterday came from a distance, "You are here, but let the villain look for it for a while, the prince has arrived in the garden, and ask the two sons to move." ”

"I'm tired, my son-in-law will go here, and please lead the way."

Hearing this, there was a slight surprise in the steward's eyes, when they were in the inn before, Liu Xi and Ma Xiu sat at the same table, and there was no sign of master and servant in their words and deeds, how could they become master and servant now?

However, Liu Xi is now wearing a black linen robe that Wu Shuang'er once bought, stepping on green silk shoes, and the jade ring around his waist has also been put away.

Maybe he is a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, and he is not informal, so the relationship between master and servant in the family is also unique, and he secretly thought in his heart, the steward turned around and led the way in front.

Ma Xiu followed closely, the paper fan was not holding it, nor was it shaking away, looking very nervous, Liu Xi, who fell behind him, looked at the truth and worried, so he reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes.

Thinking that he understood the meaning of this, Ma Xiu opened the paper fan with a bang, and his figure was invisibly improved by a few points, so that he had a graceful rhyme.

After walking for a while, passing through several flower beds separated by flower walls, I finally saw a cluster of flowers in front of me, as if deliberately, there was an open space among the flowers, where there were low tables and futons, and a dozen or so scholars in long robes were kneeling respectfully.

Opposite them, kneeling sat a middle-aged man, wearing a jade crown, wearing a purple python suit, with a white face and clean skin, sword eyebrows and sideburns, holding a green leaf lotus jade cup and drinking lightly, like a lifelong indifferent Confucian.

It's just that those Danfeng eyes are powerful, and there is an indescribable momentum of superiors on his thin and thin body, which makes people dare not exceed the courtesy.

Even if Liu Xi is such a cultivator, after looking at it a few times, he actually gave birth to an inexplicable sense of awe, and immediately reined in his mind, and sighed secretly, the king of Zhenxi really deserves his reputation.

The wind passes, the flower bows its head, and the dragon snake appears.
