Chapter 6: Surprises in the Courtyard
The weather was sunny and the breeze was gentle, and on the road that was not wide in this civilian area, two handsome and white young students walked side by side in front of them talking and laughing, followed by two young girls who were not bad-looking. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info These four people have become a moving landscape, attracting pedestrians from this civilian street.
Yang Yaozong saw that he seemed to know her very well, so he shrugged his shoulders and teased, "I arrived in the capital not long ago, and I was sick, and I got better a few days ago, but I forgot some things. Please forgive me. ”
Yin Ruxin heard Yang Yaozong call her Yinjia, and saw that his eyes were clear and he had no intention of flirting. Unlike other men, he flattered and flattered when he saw himself, but he didn't know how obscene and dirty in his heart, and he couldn't help but glance at him with disgust and said: "The little girl doesn't dare to call herself everyone in front of her son." ”
The two couldn't help but hear the ridicule in each other's words, and looked at each other and smiled with tacit understanding.
The two chatted casually, and soon came to a thatched hut with weeping willows at the door and a simple fence, and saw Bruno bending over the flowers and plants in the small courtyard.
Yang Yaozong stood at the door and shouted Bruno's name.
Yin Ruxin saw Yang Yaozong standing at the door and shouting Bruno, not paying attention to the image of a gentleman at all. But Yang Yaozong didn't mind. Xin said: "This person is really informal. ”
Bruno heard someone shouting to him, straightened up and looked out the door. I saw Yang Yaozong standing at the door and smiling at himself. hurriedly ran to the door, and wiped his mud-stained hands with the placket of his clothes.
Although Bruno knew that Yang Yaozong was coming today, he didn't expect Yang Yaozong to come so early. Excitedly, he stretched out his hands and held Yang Yaozong's hand tightly, and said in a lame and stiff Da Zhou language: "Young Master Yang, welcome to our cold house, we have been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Yin Ruxin, who was standing next to Yang Yaozong, could clearly see the movement of this Bruno wiping his hands to holding Yang Yaozong's hands when he came, and he couldn't help but hear him say a lame and stiff Da Zhou language, and spread out his fan to block the smiling face. He turned his head to look at Yang Yaozong's expression. Seeing that Yang Yaozong didn't mind shaking hands with Bruno at all, he also introduced to Bruno by the way: "This Yin Gongzi is a good friend and a person who cherishes flowers and loves flowers. I learned about Bruno from here below, and I have come with you today. ”
Bruno looked at the sound boy next to Yang Yaozong, and muttered in his heart, "This sound boy is really handsome, much more handsome than Yang Gongzi." Let go of Yang Yaozong's hand, and his hands will come to shake the sound of the hand.
Yin Ruxin frowned at Bruno's actions and retreated behind Yang Yaozong in fright. Bruno was a little embarrassed to see Yin Ruxin's evasive move, and withdrew his hand to see Yang Yaozong smile dryly.
Yang Yaozong looked at Yin Ruxin, who was hiding behind him with a red face, and then turned his head to look at Bruno, who was a little embarrassed, and laughed twice: "My brother Tai has some quirks and doesn't like to have physical contact with people. There is also the etiquette of your country, which is not suitable for my Great Zhou, and it is relatively taboo. Don't do that in the future. Since people are in the Great Zhou, it is more appropriate to use my Great Zhou etiquette to receive people and entertain guests. ”
Bruno hurriedly bent down and apologized to Yin Ruxin: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Yang Gongzi taught the right lesson, and asked Yin Gongzi to forgive. It's Bruno... Well... "Frowning, searching for the big Zhou etiquette vocabulary in his stomach." Meng Lang". After saying the word "Meng Lang", he seemed to be relieved, raised his sleeve and wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead due to nervousness and embarrassment.
Yin Ruxin's face was flushed, and he nodded a little embarrassedly in response to Bruno, casting a grateful and slightly disgusted look at Yang Yaozong. Xin said, "This person is really open-mouthed, what quirks, what physical contact." He didn't shy away from what he said, and he was right. ”
Although Yin Ruxin is now dressed as a woman, Bruno doesn't know it, but despite this, Bruno's behavior is very inappropriate in her eyes. It wasn't until I heard Yang Yaozong say that Bruno's behavior just now was the etiquette of Fanren, that he realized that his behavior just now was indeed a bit embarrassing. In fact, it was Yin Ruxin who knew Bruno's Fanbang etiquette, and she was influenced by the Confucian culture of the Great Zhou Dynasty since she was a child, so she was afraid that she would hide behind Yang Yaozong, and she didn't care if she could embarrass Bruno.
Seeing Bruno's sincere attitude, Yang Yaozong was a little nervous, patted Bruno's shoulder and comforted him with a smile: "I'm not teaching you, I'm reminding you." Well. Bruno, let's stop standing in front of your house, I wonder if we can go in and see the plants you have cultivated. There are a few things we can go in and talk about. ”
Bruno looked at Yang Yaozong and the four of them, and suddenly realized this problem, and hurriedly smiled and bent down to invite Yang Yaozong and the four of them into his small courtyard.
The courtyard is not large, only a single path connects the courtyard gate with the thatched house. The small courtyards on both sides of the path are planted with well-growing greenery.
Bruno leaned sideways in front, a little deliberately low, smiling and leading the way. He was a head taller than Yang Yaozong, with messy blond hair, and he looked a bit like a monkey at this time.
Yang Yaozong looked at him and said with a smile: "In his original era and modern times, foreigners are arrogant one by one. Looking at Bruno's groveling appearance now, there is an indescribable joy in his heart. "Unconsciously straightened up a little more." No matter how tall you are, you have to look up at me. Yang Yaozong thought a little stinky.
Walking to the middle of the path, Yang Yaozong looked at the plants on both sides of the path and suddenly stopped.
Yin Ruxin was originally walking behind him, and he was also curiously looking at these green plants. She was tall, and she was originally on Yang Yaozong's forehead, but it didn't matter if Yang Yaozong suddenly stopped, but her forehead really hit the back of Yang Yaozong's head.
Yang Yaozong felt that the back of his head was hit, and knew that it was because he suddenly stopped that he was hit by Yin Ruxin, who was following closely behind him, and turned around to apologize to Yin Ruxin.
Yin Ruxin suddenly bumped into Yang Yaozong, feeling ashamed, and raised his head and wanted to take a small step back.
Yang Yaozong had indeed turned his head and looked back.
Yin Ruxin raised his head and retreated, although both of them reflected at the same time, Yang Yaozong was indeed a little faster.
He was now on his side, but his head had turned like a sound. When Yin Ruxin raised his head, the tip of Yang Yaozong's firm nose gently brushed over Yin Ruxin's forehead. The heat of the snort hit the pretty face that was already a little red.
At this time, he had raised his head, and the sound of retreat was like a letter, and he felt the tip of Yang Yaozong's nose rubbing against his forehead, and the breath that fluttered on his face. Seeing that Yang Yaozong, whose head had turned like himself, was rubbing the tip of his nose with his fingers, his face seemed to be slightly red, and he seemed to be looking at himself with some embarrassment. She quickly turned her head to the side and stopped looking at him. The face is red and the ears are red, and a heart is pounding.
Yang Yaozong couldn't help but purse his lips and chuckle when he saw Yin Ruxin's appearance, compared with his previous life, the women of this era really obeyed the etiquette law. Even if this seemingly cheerful and generous voice is like a letter. At this time, there is no longer the appearance of talking and laughing with himself just now, and his demeanor is generous.
Yang Yaozong rubbed his nose, and the faint fragrance from the tip of his nose to his nose lingered in his nose. Although the two encounters can also smell the faint female fragrance of Yin Ruxin. He didn't particularly care either. It's like women wearing perfume in later generations, and not too many people will mind what fragrance is on a woman's body, as if a woman should have such a fragrance.
However, this time, the faint fragrance of the woman, lingering and quiet, lingered and immersed in the nose, filled Yang Yaozong's brain, and floated to Yang Yaozong's heart, which couldn't help but make Yang Yaozong's heart flutter. Yang Yaozong unconsciously rubbed the tip of his nose with his index finger to hide his slightly flustered and embarrassed mood. A faint flush appeared on the white and tender handsome face.
Seeing that Yin Ruxin tilted his head, his face was already crimson, and even his white and tender neck was covered with pink. The dexterous and round earlobes are also faintly hazy and transparent like pink gems, which is completely a shy posture of the little daughter in the boudoir to be married.
Not far behind Yin Ruxin is the small painting and her personal girl Ruyi. Ruyi is also men's clothing, she walked at the end, chatting quietly with the two of them guessing what was planted in the yard. The two little girls also paid attention to the greenery in the courtyard, and did not see what happened between Yang Yaozong and Yin Ruxin. just saw that the front stopped, so the two little girls also stopped.
Bruno, who was leading the way in front, saw Yang Yaozong suddenly stop and turned sideways, as if he was talking to Yin Gongzi behind him, and waited for a while: "Yang Gongzi." ”
Bruno's voice broke the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between Yang Yaozong and Yin Ruxin.
Yang Yaozong still leaned sideways and rubbed the tip of his nose with his fingers, turned his head to the right, and coughed lightly to calm the ripples in his heart.
Yin Rubei bit her red lips and spread the fan casually, as if this could fan out the redness and burning sensation on her face.
After a while, Yang Yaozong pointed to a plant in front of him and asked Bruno in French: "Bruno, you grow sweet potatoes?" Then he pointed to a few plants not far away: "Potatoes? Without waiting for Bruno to answer, he pointed to a few plants in the center of the courtyard that hung round blue, and occasionally the green fruit with pink glow hanging from the green leaves, and said loudly: "Tomatoes! He pointed to the tender green peppers that had already produced long spikes, "Chili peppers!" ”。 There are also a few on the edge of the yard, with long green stems, and a few large green leaves hanging alternately on both sides of the stems. A small disc is placed at the top of the stem. "Sunflowers!" At this time, Yang Yaozong's expression of excitement and surprise was beyond words.
Yang Yaozong was a native of the countryside in his previous life. Since he was a child, he has helped his parents do farm work and housework, and he is no stranger to some plants and flowers. It is not a problem for him to accurately name some plants and understand the habits of some plants.
Yin Ruxin frowned slightly when he heard Yang Yaozong and Bruno talking, and also followed Yang Yaozong's point, looking at the plants.
Except for one of the several plants that Yang Yaozong was referring to, which seemed to be the chili pepper that Yang Yaozong told her about last night, she didn't recognize the other plants.
But seeing Yang Yaozong's excited appearance, I think he must have recognized it. Xindao was still a little shy just now, but now he is jumping up like a child. Her somewhat apprehensive and messy mood just now also dissipated with Yang Yaozong's excitement and calmed down.
When Bruno saw Yang Yaozong accurately say the names of these plants, he was also amazed in his heart, and admired Yang Yaozong even more. Although sweet potatoes and potatoes are widely cultivated in their country, tomatoes, peppers and sunflowers are only cultivated on a small scale. He came to Da Zhou to study and plant for more than a year, and no one knew about these plants.
Yang Yaozong also seemed to feel that he was a little carried away, and coughed lightly a few times to calm down his excited emotions, but his eyes still showed excitement and joy. And the main thing that brought him this excitement and joy were the sweet potato and the potato. As for peppers, tomatoes and sunflowers, even if they are not promoted, it is good for him to grow some himself and satisfy his appetite after harvesting.
According to what he saw in the historical books during this time, and what he usually ate, he understood that there were no sweet potatoes and potatoes in the Great Zhou during this period. The yield of rice, corn and wheat is not very high, and there is always a famine every few years. Sweet potatoes and potatoes are not only high-yielding, but also conducive to planting, and can also be eaten as a staple food. If cultivation can be promoted on a large scale, the problem of famine will definitely be alleviated.
Yang Yaozong also knows that the emergence of new things is always the most difficult for people to accept and promote it. Especially in this era when it is very closed and backward compared with later generations from any point of view, the difficulty can be imagined, and there is a long way to go. Although Yang Yaozong is a son-in-law, he also knows the rise and fall of the world, and his husband is responsible. According to the information he has, the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is sixty years old, but only one grandson can inherit the great cause, but he is still young, although Yang Yaozong is not in the court, but he also knows that there must be people who covet the throne, and the emperor's heirs are not prosperous, which is the biggest internal worry. The external invasion was the Hu people in the north, and the invasion of coastal pirates and pirates.
These Hu people include the Western Turks living in Xinjiang, the Eastern TJ living in Mongolia, the Mongols living in Mongolia and the Tungusic people outside the Guan. And among these Hu people, Dong TJ is the most powerful. The East TJ has been harassing the Great Perimeter Pass all year round, and will engage in large-scale wars with the Great Zhou every few years. This time, it was precisely because of the sudden attack of the East TJ army to disturb the border pass that Yang Yaozong's father-in-law Nangong Zhan and his wife Nangong Qingyi would urgently lead the army to the border pass.
Yang Yaozong just wants to enjoy life comfortably and spend more time with the people around him, but if the country is ruined and his family is ruined, how can he be comfortable. Even for the sake of his wife and father-in-law, who he has never met, he has to do something. As for the promotion of crops, he wanted to explain it to Nangong Qingyi, and then handed it over to Nangong Qingyi. He is very happy to be a man behind a strong woman.
