Text Chapter 195 Engagement
When it came to the day when he agreed to ask for peaches, Zhang Zishou was gone, and Chen Youyi lingered at his door for a long time, and he didn't come back.
This made her a little annoyed, and on the way back, she kept muttering, "This old man Zhang, what he said really doesn't count, he said that he would take me to the peach tree, but now that the person is gone, this is deliberately avoiding me." ”
When she returned to the temple, she felt uncomfortable and sat on the bed, sulking with a small mouth, Qin Ziheng was sullen when he saw her enter the door, and took the initiative to come over and talk to her, "What's the matter?" You didn't go to Mr. Zhang, why did you come back so early? ”
"Say no more!" She said angrily, "The old man framed me and said that he had brought me to the temple to ask for a peach tree, but when I went to find him at the appointed time, he didn't know where to go." He didn't come back until now, and he didn't even care about Qin Huai studying there. This is a deliberate attempt to hide from me. ”
She gritted her teeth angrily, but Qin Ziheng sat down beside her with a smile and comforted her in a low voice, "What if he has something to do, it's just too late to explain to you, don't be angry, be patient, wait." ”
Seeing that she still seemed to be very angry, he asked again, "You said you want a peach tree, but you want to plant it in this mountain?" ”
She didn't speak, and winked at her, "Mountain people have their own uses!" ”
Qin Ziheng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, if others knew that she was originally a princess, but now she called herself a mountain man, she would definitely drop her jaw in shock.
Although she had been persuaded before that it was not possible to plant a peach tree in this mountain, if she wanted to do so, Qin Ziheng would promise her to do it, but he didn't want her to be unhappy, "Do you know where the peach tree Mr. Zhang said?" ”
"He said it was in the Yuanjue Temple, but I had lived here a few times, and I had never heard of a peach tree, and I had never seen it. Maybe this is just him lying to me, this old man Zhang, he can't talk about me, and he actually tricks me. She bit her lower lip, her heart was heavy, in fact, the most important thing at the moment was not that Zhang Zishou had deceived her, but that Zhang Zishou was not going to find the peach tree.
"Even in this Yuanjue Temple, why don't I accompany the lady to ask, maybe you can find it. This Yuanjue Temple is in the deep mountains, and the back is still very big, how about it? His voice was still gentle, and he stared at her dotingly, and felt that when she was angry, he was very cute.
She came to her senses and stared at him with blinking eyes, "What Xianggong said is true?" In the past, Yuanjue Temple generally only lived here, and I really don't know how big the place is in the back. ”
"Of course it's true, let's go. Now let's go and see, and we should accompany the lady around. Qin Ziheng took her hand, she put away her temper and showed a smile on her face, "Okay, if there is one, I must come and show off in front of that old man." ”
The two of them left the bedroom together and walked towards the backyard of the Yuanjue Temple, and met the little monk in the kitchen of the temple on the way, so they pulled him to inquire, Chen Youyi came here before, although she thought about looking for the peach tree, but she never said it, and she didn't know that there was in the Yuanjue Temple.
I didn't inquire, and now I pulled the little monk I knew to ask, and he immediately said, "Of course there is, just in the back mountain, the Empress Dowager Chen likes the peach tree the most, and now is the time to bear fruit, but the host said that ordinary people are not allowed to enter the backyard, nor are they allowed to get close to the peach tree." What's the matter with this you asking? ”
Chen Youyi was stunned, "If we want to see it, we can't see it?" ”
"That's natural, only when there are some important things, such as the emperor's concubine or the queen mother's incense, it will be open for people to see, and ordinary people will not see it. I'm afraid that others will accidentally break it, and we have to take good care of the things that the Queen Mother likes. ”
Hearing this, her heart suddenly cooled, she glanced at her mouth, and still asked without giving up, "If we go to ask the host, do you think he will agree to our request?" We just want to see and do nothing. ”
The little monk scratched his head, frowned, and said, "This, I'm afraid it won't work, if it were me, I would definitely promise the lady, but the host never allowed others to get close to the peach tree." And all the fruit that was plucked from it was paid tribute to the palace. Where are you willing to ask people to look casually! ”
Seeing her dejected look, Qin Ziheng helped to speak on the side, "Can you let us meet the host once?" I would like to speak to him myself, and perhaps he will look at my thin face and promise to let us see the peach tree. ”
Chen Youyi also hurriedly said, "Yes, you can help us find the host, and we will tell him in person." Luckily? ”
After all, it was someone who knew Chen Youyi, and the little monk readily agreed, "It's not difficult to do this, I'll help you ask, and I'll call you back." With that, he ran away to find the host.
Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng had no choice but to turn around and temporarily return to the bedroom and wait patiently.
But after waiting for about half an hour, Chen Youyi couldn't sit still, "If it doesn't work, I'll go to the old man Zhang Zishou again, he promised me to give me the peach tree, I don't believe that he can hide from me for the rest of my life, Xianggong, you are waiting here." ”
After finishing speaking, he was about to rush out, but was stopped by Qin Ziheng, "Lady, be patient, the little monk will come back after going to the host for a while." After we meet the host, let's talk about it, if that Mr. Zhang is avoiding you, if you find him, he will also excuse himself for various reasons, so let's take a look here. ”
Under his persuasion, Chen Youyi finally sat down quietly, and waited for more than half an hour before the little monk who had just spoken ran back.
Seeing him, Chen Youyi instantly put down the teacup in his hand and walked to the door, "Why has it been so long, have you found the host?" ”
"The host has some things, met with a guest, and talked about the conversation, so it has been delayed until this time, I have already told the host, he said that he wants to see you, but I did not say that you want to see the peach tree, after that, you will ask again."
Hearing this, Chen Youyi laughed happily, "You little monk is smart, where are you, I'll say it myself." ”
"Then let's go, I'll take you there."
Chen Youyi and Qin Ziheng came to the host, and the host was very polite to them, and specially ordered someone to make tea and sit down with them, "I don't know what you are looking for the old monk?" He also spoke in an unusually kind manner.
Qin Ziheng stood up first and saluted, and said bluntly, "Presiding over us, we came here and heard that there is a peach tree in the temple, which is the only peach tree in this hundred miles radius, can you let us appreciate it?"
The host's face froze for a moment, and he stroked his beard as if he was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid this won't work." The host said with some embarrassment, "This peach tree is the queen mother's favorite, and this temple is easy to live and raise, and it is not for other people to watch." ”
