Li Jingshan and Ruan Mingyu were both interested when they saw what the shopkeeper Yuan said solemnly. Following him to the nursery of the thin bamboo fence, he saw a strange plant more than half a person tall planted in the flower base made of bluestone strips, with iron-gray branches, large leaves as large as palms, and light gray in folios.

"Old Yuan, which mountain did you dig up the wild things again?"

Shopkeeper Yuan glanced at Ruan Mingyu with disdain, turned his head and explained to Li Jingshan: "This is the national flower of the Heathrow Kingdom, called 'Langlevy', which means 'Luoxia'. This flower seedling was brought back from Heathrow by a merchant ship that I had sent to sea. The entire Dalang Dynasty, only this pot, there is no other! ”

Li Jingshan pursed her lips and smiled, this shopkeeper Yuan is really a nymphomaniac. Heathrow was one of the overseas nations where sharp swords and fine metal utensils were produced. Woolen tapestries are also famous. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Yuan traveled thousands of miles and bought it back with a lot of money, which turned out to be a flower and plant.

Ruan Mingyu smiled lazily, "Then it must be worth a lot." It's just that...... Apart from being expensive, is there anything special about it? ”

Shopkeeper Yuan glared at him, "You miser knows how to take care of some copper smells." His gaze fell on the flowers and trees, as soft as if he were looking at his precious son, "It is said that when this thing blooms, it is as bright as the sunset." The most peculiar thing is that the color of the flower changes with time, showing colors from light pink to deep purple, which is wonderful. ”

Hearing this, Li Jingshan looked down at the buds as small as rice grains between the branches and leaves, and saw nothing.

Ruan Mingyu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then there is nothing now, according to me, this gray fluttering appearance is not as good as the spring flowers outside." ”

was so angry that the shopkeeper Yuan picked up the broom on the side and was about to drive people away.

The two of them spent a long time in the 'Maki Ying Pavilion' and saw all the rare flowers and trees. When Li Jingshan picked a pot of double-petaled rhododendrons, the flowers on the branches bloomed lively, but Ruan Mingyu chose a pot of bonsai made of Guanyin willows.

Shopkeeper Yuan said curiously: "You usually want some gorgeous and fragrant flowers, how did you change sex today?" ”

Ruan Mingyu smiled and blinked, "Recently, brother, I want to pay more respects to Guanyin, so please go back first." ”

provoked the shopkeeper Yuan to look at him like a monster, and burst out in the middle of the night, "Get out!" ”

----

The purchased flowers and plants were sent back to Xingyuan by the shopkeeper Yuan, and the two went to the food market next to them.

The snacks in the capital are the best in the country, and the flavors of the north and south can be found here - of course, whether the taste is pure or not is another matter. And at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the food is more dignified and less casual and wild.

"Overall," Lai concluded, "there were no special surprises. ”

Ruan Mingyu looked at his wife who was raised by himself, and smiled helplessly. I still picked out some snacks such as halva and osmanthus cake that suited her taste, carried large bags and small bags in my hands, and took people to visit the lamp market.

Naturally, it was a bustling, crowd of people. Ruan Mingyu carefully escorted Li Jingshan through the market, pointing and commenting on the lanterns on the street. Li Jingshan pays more attention to the makeup and dress of the beauties on the street.

Tonight is a day when women can go out and have fun at will, whether it is a beautiful girl or a small jasper, a boudoir or a wife, they all seize this rare festival and dress up happily. And now the family and country are rich and the life is stable, which is reflected in the decoration and smiling faces of the people.

Li Jingshan looked at the grace of the official ladies and the beauty of the civilian girls with great interest, and realized the fun of "street photography" in modern society.

"What do you see, smiling so smiling? Could it be that you have a crush on which little white face? Ruan Mingyu said dissatisfied.

Li Jingshan: "......"

Ruan Mingyu, who is chic and golden, and has a great status, married Li Jingshan, who is from an ordinary background and is not stunning in appearance, there are actually many discussions in the community. In people's eyes, it is really Li Jingshan who has climbed high. However, only the people who picked up the star garden on errand knew how much Ruan Mingyu cared about Li Jingshan, and he couldn't wait to be by his side and hold it in his hand at all times. This girl is a treasure that even the prince covets.

"Is there a more handsome and dashing man on this street than your husband?" Ruan Mingyu saw that Li Jingshan didn't respond, and he was even more angry, his fingers touched his sideburns, and he said with his head held high.

Li Jingshan sneered. Sure enough, it's still the complacent peacock. She crossed her waist with one hand, and gently picked up Ruan Mingyu's chin with the other, making a frivolous gesture, "Childe is really the whole street...... No, the most handsome cub in the entire capital. Why don't you leave the slave house tonight? ”

Ruan Mingyu was teased, but instead of being annoyed, he smiled with satisfaction, hugged Li Jingshan and continued to move forward, "Yes, obey the order for my husband!" ”

Walking to the stall where she guessed the lantern riddle, Li Jingshan remembered that back then, she wanted Ruan Mingyu to win a lantern for her.

"I knew that I would have asked the second brother to come along, and he would be able to win half a stall for you...... Which one do you want? Ruan Mingyu said as he followed Li Jingshan's instructions and untied a plum blossom lantern.

"The golden hook hangs the silver ring, and the two of them are across the mountain. If you want to meet, you have to wait until it gets late......"

Ruan Mingyu read the riddle on the lamp, and suddenly looked at Li Jingshan and smiled maliciously.

"What are you laughing at?" It can be seen that Li Jingshan's heart is furious.

Ruan Mingyu stepped forward and smiled, "It turns out that a lady is in the same urgent mood as a husband." ”

Li Jingshan blushed with shame from him, but inexplicably, pushed him away slightly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Ruan Mingyu said innocently, "Otherwise, how could you have picked this lantern at a glance?" Oh, you see, the riddle is clearly written...... 'If you want to meet, you have to wait for the day, the color, and the night-"

"I, I'm not—" Li Jingshan covered her face even more ashamedly, unable to argue.

Ruan Mingyu smiled even more heartily, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "For the husband, I must satisfy the lady tonight......"

Holding Li Jingshan's thin waist and walking forward, the warm yellow light of the lantern illuminated the way forward for the two.

After the Lantern Festival, a busy new spring began immediately. In the Spring Festival, there are peak sales seasons such as March and Qingming, which is the busy time for merchants. The palace treasure bureau is relatively leisurely, and there is not much work in the palace, and the common craftsmen of the treasure bureau can complete it.

Therefore, Li Jingshan only needs to enter the palace every ten days, and she does not have to do work in the palace all day long, as she did years ago. And Li Jingshan is following Yue Zangfeng to learn the technique of "translucent" jade carving, every five days, also enter the palace to ask for practice, the rest of the time is in the treasure pavilion as an errand, the new spring launched two jewelry, soon became a big hit in the capital.

It's just the right day. Li Jingshan was busy working in her own duty room in the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, when she suddenly heard a commotion below.

"What's going on next?" Li Jingshan looked up and asked a clerk who happened to be passing by.

"So that Li Niangzi will know that the Heathrow delegation to Beijing today is said to be very different from our Dalang people, and everyone is curious to see, what does it look like?"

Li Jingshan smiled, but didn't care much. She had seen the maps of this era and knew that the so-called Heathrow Kingdom was roughly within the borders of modern-day Europe. What kind of foreigners have not seen in the future, she is not curious about those blonde and blue-eyed "foreigners".

After a while, I heard the voices of people on the street, and the gongs of officers and soldiers opened the way, thinking that the mission was parading through the street. Li Jingshan stood at the window facing the street and looked down, and sure enough, she saw a convoy of Hu people with curvy hair and strange costumes, with obvious Europa blood, slowly approaching. A long convoy followed, presumably as a tribute.

The man in the lead has deep eyes and a high nose, full of blond hair, and although he is smiling, he has a whole body of majesty.

Maybe it's a prince. Li Jingshan thought and was about to turn back, but she met a young man behind the leader, who saw that she had also noticed him, and grinned at him, showing his neat white teeth.

Li Jingshan smiled back politely, and then turned back to the table to continue her work. She thought it was just a chance encounter that didn't have anything to do with each other. Unexpectedly, they would soon meet in the palace.

A few days later, the palace suddenly sent someone to summon Li Jingshan into the palace.

"Dare to ask my father-in-law, today is not the tenth day," Li Jingshan took the time to ask while tidying up her appearance, "Why is it so urgent?" ”

The little eunuch who came to pass the word sighed, "It's not a moth made by the envoys of the Heathrow Kingdom. They are confident that they are good at wrought iron craftsmanship, and they have to compete with the craftsmen of our heavens and dynasties. Hmph, let's let them see, what is called self-indulgence! ”

"Competition? Aren't the craftsmen of the Bureau of Treasures enough to cope? ”

The little eunuch said with a smile, "Your Majesty's intention is to take this opportunity to fully display the technology and national strength of our Dalang Dynasty, so that they can lose their hearts." ”

However, when I entered the palace, I realized that the matter was not as simple as the little eunuch said.

"The envoy of the Heathrow Kingdom who led the delegation to the court this time is the prince of their country, Gero."

Li Jingshan went to the Sizhen Bureau first as usual, met Yue Zangfeng, and listened to him explain the reason.

"Prince Geluo is in the court, openly proposing technical exchanges with the emperor, but his tone is quite arrogant and domineering." Yue Zangfeng knew that he was much stronger than the little eunuch, but his face was also quite uneven. "I don't think they came here to meet them, they obviously came to provoke."

It turned out that on the court yesterday, when Prince Gro met the emperor, he displayed a large number of metal crafts from their own country in the main hall. Indeed, the craftsmanship is superb and exquisite. One of the most notable is a set of jewel-encrusted ornaments, with a total of 78 ornaments from head to toe. The magic is that almost every item has a trap that can be combined to move. It's breathtaking, and you can't put it down.

Originally, the saint Longyan Dayue was about to reward Prince Gro. But the prince said that he did not need a reward of gold or silver, but that he wished to learn from the noblest craftsmen, and if he could overcome them, they would be willing to teach them the exquisite smelting skills of their own country.

"Oh? What if we can't win? Li Jingshan's keen intuition that there is no such cheap good thing in the country's exchanges, continued to ask, "What do they want to get?" ”
