Chapter Seventy-Three: The Red Dress
"This year, the osmanthus flowers on our house bloomed early, the old slave felt that this was auspicious light early in the morning, and it was really popular, yesterday Lu Gongzi came, and he didn't leave in our house, and His Royal Highness came to ...... today."
Liu Yan asked, "Lu Gongzi is also here?" ”
"Yes."
It seems that the relationship between these two is really good.
"Please come and see Master Lu together, my sister and I also want to hear him talk about what he has seen and heard during his travels."
Liu Jing instinctively felt that the interesting things Lu Yi encountered outside were definitely not only "staying in a broken temple at night and meeting a fox fairy", but there was something more interesting than this.
The people who listen to the story think differently. Liu Yan and the others listened to a fresh and lively atmosphere, at most they thought about whether the three brothers and sisters who pretended to be ghosts would still make a living by deceiving people in the future. Liu Jing thought a lot.
He wondered, are these three brothers and sisters brothers and sisters? Is it a local's clan or a fugitive? How do they get rid of their money when they cheat money on weekdays? How to raise the daily expenses? Why hasn't anyone noticed it for a few years, and no one has debunked it? What does the magistrate eat? Lu Yi is definitely not the only smart person in the world, and the people who go south and north to do business have seen all kinds of deception, if they don't see through it, but they have seen through it, but they have been wiped out......
The four princes with big brains even thought of the details of how these three brothers and sisters might make money and kill their lives, and how to bury their bodies and destroy their traces, and at this time they will walk to the gate of the side courtyard.
The old servant who led the way explained: "Our son-in-law refuses to live in the main courtyard, and has been living in the side courtyard. But in front of His Royal Highness, the villain doesn't have to pretend to be decent, the main courtyard has not been repaired for a long time, and it is indeed impossible to live, but it is not as convenient as living in the side courtyard, and the side courtyard is next to the garden, and it is also convenient for the son to paint. ”
This old servant is frank.
Besides, it's not a shame to not be able to repair the house, even half of the palace is still deserted, in the emperor's words, there is no spare money, and who will live if it is repaired? The previous dynasty built the palace magnificently, but what was the result? Not to mention the imperial palace, about a day's journey out of the capital to the east, there is also a maple forest palace, stretching along the mountain, standing at the highest place to look at it, the beautiful scenery ......
But it's still the same sentence, what's the use of working for the people and hurting money to repair this palace?
The usefulness is to change the dynasty.
The courtyard of Zhaofu is actually built in the garden, and through the flower windows on the pink wall, you can clearly see the scenery in the garden.
Liu Yu said: "I smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. ”
When the wind blows, the fragrance of flowers comes with the wind. As soon as the wind stopped, the aroma faded.
The old servant smiled and said, "We have planted a large osmanthus tree in our garden, and we can get many flowers every year, make cakes, make sugar cheese, and give a lot of osmanthus water and osmanthus oil to our neighbors." A few days ago, as soon as the flowers bloomed, our teenagers made a laurel picture. ”
Liu Jing said: "Then I really want to see it." ”
Zhao Lei came out in a panic, and when he saw it, he just got up from the bed, his hat was worn crookedly, and the placket was also a little crooked.
It's not the most cola, but the most interesting thing is that he has two shoes on his feet, one of the soft shoes he wears in the house, covered with green cloth. One is a pair of thin-soled boots worn outside the house, with white faces and black edges.
The ancients said that they greeted each other upside down, but this one didn't fall, and it was almost the same.
"Meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, meet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Okay, no need to be polite." Liu Jing waved his hand: "It's a coincidence that we came, and we didn't say anything in advance, so we were an uninvited guest." I took your painting yesterday, and I specially returned the gift today. By the way, I heard that Lu Yi is also with you? ”
"Yes, Brother Lu, he has the habit of practicing swords in the morning, and he got up early, and now he should be practicing in the garden."
The prince and princess, who had nothing to do, suddenly shifted their target: "Then let's go and see Lu Gongzi practice martial arts, right?" ”
So they changed direction and went straight into the garden.
Well, the Zhao family's garden is really ...... Full of wild fun.
The flowers have not been trimmed, the trees have not been cut, and even the grass can be seen to have not been pulled out for more than a month. Weeds can grow with a little soil, especially at this time, if you don't care about it for a month, you can grow almost knee-long.
Zhao Lei said as he walked: "When I bought this house, I brought a small martial arts training ground, and no one in my family practiced martial arts, so I have been deserted......
This time the martial arts field is not deserted, a person wearing a white cotton silk cloth shirt is standing on the martial arts training ground, only looking at a silhouette, but the figure, that temperament, can be recognized at a glance.
But the problem is that he is not alone.
There was also a woman standing in front of him, wearing a white silk peony shirt with gold thread, a crimson high-waisted skirt underneath, and a pale yellow shawl, the two of them were so close that there was no one standing in the middle.
This distance is obviously not something that outsiders can tread.
The problem is that it's not very good for them to turn around and leave now. It's not good to go forward.
Just as Liu Jing thought about it, the woman suddenly raised her hand and gave Lu Yi a mouth loudly and crisply.
"Huh?"
This time, Liu Jing and the princesses, as well as Zhao Lei, and the servants of the Zhao family...... All stunned.
When the girl who had beaten her head heard the movement, she turned her head and met so many pairs of round eyes.
I really can't tell who was more frightened, whether it was the princes and princesses who watched a beating, or the girl who beat people.
Anyway, the girl screamed, picked up her skirt and ran away.
Not far away stood a maid-like girl, who followed her.
Lu Yi turned his head and saw them, grinning.
It's embarrassing.
However, the people who were beaten didn't take it seriously, and these people who were watching felt less awkward.
Liu Yan pulled Zhao Lei: "Who is that girl just now?" ”
Zhao Lei shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Huh?"
Liu Yan felt that Zhao Lei was not telling the truth.
How could he not recognize the girl who appeared in his house? It may be the daughter-in-law and relatives of the Zhao family. Even if it's not, then Zhao Lei, as the host, has to recognize the guests from his own house, right?
Zhao Lei shook his head honestly: "I really don't recognize it, I've never seen it." He also turned his head and asked the old servant beside him, "Uncle Gao, do you know?" ”
Gao Bo said: "This girl seems to have just come, and she is the front and back feet with Her Royal Highness, she said that she wants to find Lu Gongzi, as for her surname, the old slave does not know, so she has to go back and ask the concierge." ”
This master and slave has a really big heart - a stranger came to his house, and he let it in without asking a word. If you put a girl in this, you will beat people, if you put in a strong man, you can't kill people and set fires?
Lu Yi came over to greet Liu Jing and the princesses, and everyone was full of curiosity and didn't want to ask him face-to-face who the girl was and why she beat him, but this did not prevent everyone from secretly making up for Lu Yi and the girl in the red dress at least ten times and eight times.
Zhao Lei just got up, Lu Yi had just finished practicing martial arts, these two were not early risers, and breakfast was useless. Liu Jing waved his hand, don't worry, you eat first, let's walk around the garden by ourselves.
Such a wild garden, I really haven't visited it in Beijing.
