Chapter 1 Dreams are like dreams
In early summer, the green shade is quiet and the day is quiet, and the lonely flowers show the spring.
Nanming's sky is so blue that it seems to have been dyed by sea drifting. The tall houses and red tiles around the house seem to frame this acre of sky and half an acre of clouds.
According to what Lord Xuan said, the strange iris must be here, but such a miraculous medicine, why does it grow in this deep mansion compound?
"Nettle?" There seemed to be a man's voice in the distance, "Is that you?" The voice seemed to be getting closer and closer, and when I heard it, it was a person full of internal strength, but it was mixed with the sound of staggering footsteps. I was going to turn around and hide behind the pillar and look back to find out, but was interrupted by a Taoist aunt.
"Girl," the aunt held a wisp of dust, and at some point appeared behind her, "I hope you don't mind, he is worried and disturbing the girl." β
"Since it has been discovered, it is better to explain the intention directly, and I don't want to face each other with the sword of the cultivator: "In Xia He Ju, I urgently need the strange iris to save people, so I came here to ask for it." β
"Since the girl intends to save people's lives, Poor Dao has no intention of stopping it." With that, the Taoist turned sideways to give way.
"Thank you." After giving his hand, he passed with a short sword. A few steps later, I heard Daogu's voice again:
"Looking at the girl's dress, she seems to be a hermit in the rivers and lakes, and everyone in the General's Mansion is innocent, not only to take medicine, but also to hope that the rattan sword will not be unsheathed."
The General's Palace? This ruined place is actually the famous General's Mansion in the past? Rattan sword? Why did she recognize the sword that even Lord Xuan had never called?
"Dao Chief, you say..."I was trying to find out, but I couldn't see any trace of Dao Gu, who is this Dao Gu, and she is so good. Since it was no longer possible to delay, he set out to find medicine.
Unconsciously, when I walked to the backyard, I always felt a familiar feeling, and with this kind of traction, I felt that the strange iris must be next to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Jing'er, you're finally back, I've been waiting so hard for my brother." It was the man's voice again, who was he calling? Looking back, the two guards on the left and the right carried him away, and vaguely heard the guards say, "Childe, please go back with us, your current body is not convenient to move." β
These two guards are so strange, as if they want to cover up something, it is better to come forward and ask the truth in person. While shouting "stop", he jumped up, and before he shuttled to their side, a guard actually drew his sword in an instant, and was about to fight, remembering what Dao Gu said that the rattan sword must not be unsheathed, forget it, it is still strange iris, and there is no need to cause more trouble.
Seeing that the guards had no intention of continuing to entangle, they got rid of them and jumped towards the Huxin Pavilion. There is a scorched tail guqin lying on a boulder in front of me, how do you feel more intimate, and the sword marks make the guqin shine more and more. If you look closely, next to the guqin is a cluster of dark green grass with thin stems and wide leaves, which must be a strange iris. I'm reaching out to pick one...
Why is my head so dizzy...... Strange iris...
...

"The county lord... Princess? ... County Lord, are you awake?! Xiao Qi knelt on the edge of the bed, saw He Ju slowly open his eyes, immediately turned around, and said anxiously to Ruoxin, "Go and tell King Jing, the county lord is awake!" β
Ruoxin hurriedly responded, got up and ran out.
"Where's the strange iris?" He Ju pinched his temples with both hands and asked weakly.
"Odd... Kite... Grass? What is it? Xiao Qi said with a puzzled face: "County Lord, you must be dreaming." β
"What's wrong with me? Why is my head so dizzy? He Ju shook his head slightly, feeling that he had forgotten something.
"County Lord, you're drunk, nay, look." Xiao Qi pointed to the three pale pink wine jars on the mahogany table, "You are still drunk and said that you won't let us throw the jars away, you want to arrange flowers." After speaking, Xiao Qi burst out laughing.
"Drunk?" He Ju scratched his hair in disbelief, "How long have I been asleep?" "The plot of the General's Mansion is vivid, how can it be a dream? If it's a dream, how can everything happen in such an orderly manner, it should be imaginative.
Seeing that He Ju hesitated, Xiao Qi immediately replied, "The county lord has been asleep for two days. β
As soon as Xiao Qi's words fell, Ruoxin hurried to arrive with King Jing and Princess Jing.
"Ju'er, are you awake?" Princess Jing was so anxious that no one arrived, and the voice arrived first.
"Father, mother, Ju'er has made you worried." He Ju was about to get out of bed and say goodbye.
"Don't get up, lie down, does your head still hurt?" Princess Jing asked with concern. King Jing on the side patted the princess gently: "Ju'er is just drunk, it's fine, you're too nervous." β
When He Ju saw his mother who was so nervous, he also fell into a little guilt, and gradually forgot about the "strange iris", it was just a dream, maybe Lord Xuan would know something, "Ju'er can't live with her mother, and she won't drink so much wine in the future." β
"Okay, it's good to know." Princess Jing held He Ju's hand and stroked it gently, her eyes revealed her mother's love, but also mixed with some self-blame, "It's all because my mother is not good, I went to Jingguan Temple to worship the Buddha a few days ago, and I didn't take care of you." β
The mother in front of her cherished herself so much, He Ju's spirit stretched a little, and said with a smile, "Where is the mother, it is obvious that Ju'er is greedy for the cup." β
"With your amount of alcohol, you can get drunk for two days, and don't drink alcohol when you go out." King Jing couldn't help but care about his daughter, muttered two sentences, and instructed.
At this time, He Ju suddenly remembered something, and secretly thought, "I've been in a coma for two days... I haven't been to Ming Shixuan for a few days. A must visit tonight. Thinking that Lord Xuan must be very worried about herself, she began to feel uneasy in her heart.
"Father and mother, my head doesn't hurt now, and I want to go out for a walk to breathe." King Jing and the princess have always been very fond of He Ju, giving her enough space, presumably He Ju is the most unrestrained county lord in Nanming.
"Go ahead, let's go, but it's getting late, you need to let Xiao Qi accompany you, with her, ordinary people can't hurt you, and we can rest assured." Princess Jing said and glanced at Xiao Qi. Looking at the whole of Nanming, a woman who can surpass Xiao Qi in martial arts has never heard of her, and she can be regarded as superior in martial arts among men, presumably this is also the talisman of the county lord in the eyes of everyone.
I saw Xiao Qi clenching his fists and bowing his head, and responded, "Don't worry, the princess, the slave and maid will be able to protect the county lord." β
"Report to the prince, the palace will send someone to pass the word, and Your Majesty will summon you to enter the palace immediately." King Jing's personal entourage Ling Xiao rushed to the county lord's courtyard to preach the news, listening to this hurried voice, there must be something important.
"Father, go quickly, mother also go to rest, Ju'er will go to say hello tomorrow."
King Jing hummed and left with the princess, and before he could step out of the door with one foot, he heard a voice "Go and prepare the horse!" β
Seeing his parents leaving, He Ju and Xiao Qi looked at each other for a moment, and hurriedly found a reason to branch Ruoxin: "Ruoxin, can you help me find which flowers and plants in this palace can match this wine jar?" β
"The county lord... You really want to use it to arrange flowers..."Ruo Xin's eyes were full of doubts, and she was stunned.
"Well, let's go," He Ju still felt that it was inappropriate, with Ruoxin's temperament, I was afraid that I would find a few random plants, and then wouldn't I find that she hadn't returned late at night, and Ruoxin's things would definitely make up a reason to drag her down, "Wait, I heard that Yetan only opens at night, and I can't recognize it in ordinary daytime, I have been concerned about this flower for a long time, and it would be a pleasure to find one." β
"Yetan? How come I've never heard of it... The county lord..."In fact, Ruoxin also wanted to follow out of the mansion, but he refused to leave to look for flowers.
"We will do our best to achieve what the county lord wants, so let's go quickly." Xiao Qi looked at Ruoxin at this time, and sighed that the county lord was commensurate with them as sisters on weekdays, and there was no mustard, which made Ruoxin forget about humility, "Don't come back." Xiao Qi understood the county lord's intentions and instructed him.
After Xiao Qi mentioned it, Ruoxin also felt ashamed, and in an instant, he took the wine bottle and set off to look for flowers.
As soon as Ruoxin left, He Ju hurriedly informed Xiao Qi: "Change your clothes quickly and go to Ming Shixuan." β
"No." I don't know how many times Xiao Qi has gone to Ming Shixuan with He Ju, and he is always waiting for He Ju in Huiying Building. He Ju needs to change clothes here when he comes and goes to Ming Shixuan, so the shopkeeper will keep the private room all year round, and if someone asks about the whereabouts of the county lord, he will answer with "the county lord especially loves Huiying Lou tea food", and the owner of Huiying Mansion is a person from Ming Shixuan.
