Li Jicai liked this small courtyard very much, because she once saw the door of this small courtyard open, and inside was a courtyard, and at the end of it were three houses facing north and south.

There is a well at the root of the wall on the left side of the courtyard, and the wall is full of trees and flowers, all of which are small and weak, not large trees, and there are many kinds of flowers that bloom in summer. There was also a house on the right-hand side, which Li Jicai guessed might have been used as a kitchen.

It's simple and clean.

I don't know what kind of people live inside.

Every time she passed by, Li Jicai would stop and watch for a long time, and Xiao Erhei and Li Jiye were also very cooperative, standing next to her and waiting for her to finish reading.

But this time, Xiao Erhei was attracted by the flowers of a very long plant blooming by the wall.

The plant was more than two meters long and covered with large pink flowers. The scorching color is vivid, and it is very good-looking.

Xiao Erhei sniffed and sniffed with his dog's nose, and couldn't help but sneeze a few times because of the heavy pollen.

Li Jicai couldn't help but laugh a little after noticing it, and made it naughty!

Li Jiye also felt that this flower was blooming very beautifully, and couldn't help but want to start and pinch it.

Because there are so many openings, I think it shouldn't matter even if I pinch one, anyway, now the door of this small courtyard is closed, and there is no one next to it.

Li Jicai was still looking at Xiao Erhei, but after noticing Li Jiye's movements, he hurriedly stopped: "Don't touch it!" ”

Li Jiye was taken aback by his sudden voice, and looked at her with some confusion, what's wrong with pinching a flower, is there such a fuss?

"Poisonous?" Li Jiye asked subconsciously, and then retracted his hand.

As far as he knows, many flowers are poisonous and cannot be touched indiscriminately.

"No, no, no." Li Jicai explained with a smile that she remembered an interesting story from her childhood.

"It's called a bowl of flowers, you can't touch it casually, if you touch it, you will ...... it when you eat."

Before he could finish speaking, the door of the small courtyard was suddenly opened.

An old lady with gray hair came out of it tremblingly and on crutches.

Her eyes just met Li Jicai, who was talking.

Li Jicai felt even more embarrassed, they stayed in front of other people's yards and said something that they didn't have, which inevitably caused people's annoyance, didn't they?

Before he could apologize, he met the old lady's eyes and found that the other party was full of kindness, and he was not displeased, and some of them were relieved.

Fortunately, no one is to blame.

During this time, she was already frightened by all kinds of disgusted and disgusted eyes.

"What did you just say?" The old lady spoke, with a slight wave in her eyes.

"Huh? Oh! I didn't say anything, but I saw that this flower also existed in my hometown, but when I was in my hometown, this flower was called a bowl flower, that is, after picking, the bowl would be broken during dinner. "How could it be so effective? It's just a joke, and it shouldn't be true.

But Li Jicai deliberately said this in order to prevent Li Jiye from picking flowers.

"Where is your hometown?!" After saying this, the old lady was obviously excited, and asked her in a hurry.

Li Jicai was a little dazed by this remark all of a sudden, why did she ask her where her hometown was?

"In... In a far distance. Of course, Li Jicai can't say that she is actually from modern times, so she can only say that she is from a far away place, and for strangers, who will report herself to her home at the beginning? They are not very familiar with each other.

When the old lady heard this, she was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled clearly, and said nothing.

In the midst of the stalemate, the old lady suddenly spoke again: "Come in and sit down, I cooked mung bean soup today, and it has just been cooled." ”

The old lady stepped out of the way a little and made a gesture to let them in.

Li Jicai and Li Jiye glanced at each other, they didn't expect such a change, and in the face of this kind old lady, they couldn't say anything about refusal.

They couldn't make a decision, but Xiao Erhei took the initiative to rush in.

The dogs rushed in, but they had no choice but to go in.

The old lady was right, she had indeed cooked mung bean soup.

But in the face of strangers' kindness, it is still necessary to be more or less wary.

Under the small table, Xiao Erhei was snoring and drinking mung bean soup, and its weight was a big bowl.

There is nothing out of the ordinary.

So after waiting a little longer, they said some more polite words, and then they took the mung bean soup brought by the old lady and drank it.

It's a refreshing taste, it's not astringent at all, it seems to have some sugar, and it's slightly sweet.

"Thank you grandma, it's delicious." Li Jicai praised.

The old lady's eyes were a little abrupt, and she stared at Li Jicai for a long time, and then nodded at him in response.

"My hometown is from Shafan."

"Huh? Oh! Uh-huh! Li Jicai was a little confused when she heard the old lady mention her hometown, and nodded vigorously after a while.

The old lady didn't speak, just stared at her, but she didn't see anything for a long time, because Li Jicai's expression was normal from beginning to end, and she didn't show the slightest strange look.

The old lady wondered if she was dizzy or if the other party was hiding it too well.

Then the old lady didn't say anything more, and Li Jicai and Li Jiye said goodbye to the old lady after eating the mung bean soup.

The old lady didn't keep them, she let them go, and didn't ask anything superfluous.

This courtyard is the same as Li Jicai imagined, the decorations there are very simple, and it looks simple and elegant.

The old lady should be a very good person, and look at the flowers and plants she planted in the yard, as well as some vegetables and fruits.

At least she should be fine eating alone. What I didn't expect was that you could see spiky peppers and tomatoes here. It seems that this place is still quite advanced, not that these things were introduced to China from which dynasty and which generation.

But it's useless to say this now, this small courtyard is not hers after all, but he wants to have such a small courtyard.

If she can have such a place to settle down in the capital, then even if she really can't go back, she will be able to settle down for the rest of her life.

It's just that he is still up and down, and who knows what kind of situation he will have in the future.

"Let's go, don't look at it." Li Jiye looked at Li Jicai's reluctant appearance, and couldn't help but remind in a whisper.

It was someone else's home, after all.

Li Jicai glanced at him, then quickly put his hand on his round head, and then sneered: "It's a pity that you don't want to be a monk." "Looking at him is a Buddha on his face.

Li Jiye's face flushed slightly, this woman is really lawless, she even dares to touch his head?! It was too much to dare to provoke him like this.

"Huh? What about Erhei? Li Jicai's face smiled very brightly, but he seemed to notice something, and immediately restrained his smile.

I looked left and right, but I didn't see the sound of the phone

The dog is gone! What about dogs?!

"What about the dog?!"

"Who do you ask, I ask?" Li Jiye turned his face angrily and didn't talk to him.

"What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go find it! ”

So the two of them went back the way they had come to look for the dog......

At the same time, the court of the state of Chu

Qi Qingchu stood in the golden and brilliant hall, looking down at him with a respectful and solemn face.

And on his head is the emperor of the current Chu State, Emperor Gaode, Jiang Yuan. is not old, but he has to be white, and he works hard for national affairs.

"Qingchu, do you think the news from this Yan Kingdom is credible?"

"If you go back to Your Majesty, Yichen will naturally be credible."

"Oh? Where do you come from? Emperor Gao Dedi was a little curious, he knew that his courtiers had always had some means.

"This is the eyeliner that the minister planted in the court of Yan Kingdom, and it was laid out the year before last."

"I remember that you have only been in the court for five years, but you have made a plan early and have a heart." Emperor Gao Dedi nodded at him, expressing his affirmation.

"The minister should be doing his best for His Majesty."

"Okay, I naturally know that you have this heart, should I also arrange for you for your life's events?"

"In accordance with His Majesty's will." Qi Qingchu said neither humbly nor arrogantly, as if he was completely obedient to Emperor Gao De's orders.

All the emperors were satisfied with having such courtiers.

Naturally, there is no big problem with the matter of assigning a wife to his beloved courtier.

The key is who to match.

I heard that my daughter and any other girl are quite fond of Qingchu.

"Do you have a favorite girl?"

"Not ever." For the love of men and women

Qi Qingchu was telling the truth, he didn't particularly care about it, the men of the Qi family got married late.

"Oh? Interesting. Emperor Gao Dedi stroked his beard with satisfaction.

The courtier he is most satisfied with in the court is the one now, obedient and sensible, and has strong ability to do things.

"I'm a little tired, let's talk about something another day."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Oh yes, I heard your birthday is coming?"

"Your Majesty, what I heard is not too accurate, it's still early."

"Well, it's time to celebrate."

"Yes, thank you for your kindness."

Emperor Gao De waved his hand and signaled him to retreat, Qi Qingchu saluted respectfully, and then walked out of the palace gate under the leadership of the eunuch and walked all the way to the outside of the palace.

There are still three months left before his birthday, so there is no hurry.

The eunuch cautiously guided Qi Qingchu, a young man who ostensibly served as a Wenchen but actually held a lot of power.

Looking at the handsome and unparalleled appearance, the expression on his face was also cold as frost, his eyebrows were picturesque, and his eyes were as deep and hazy as mist, which made people unable to see through it, and he didn't dare to look at it, because Lord Qi was very majestic, even if he was young.

"Master Qi walks slowly." The father-in-law stood at the gate of the palace and said enthusiastically, saying goodbye all the way.
