Chapter 149: Flower Banquet (2)
"No, I'm just a little curious about what flowers will bloom in this weather!" Hu Xizi said.
Gongzi Yunge's eyes flashed, his lips moved slightly, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard Nuyue raise her voice: "Naturally, it is the 'Ice Beauty' cultivated by Gongzi Yunge himself, this is the female monarch's favorite flower, how did the female monarch forget?" ”
Hu Xizi's heart suddenly burst - it's so dangerous, I almost fell for him!
She deliberately put on a blank face and said, "I don't like it now!" ”
Sure enough, Gongzi Yunge and Nuyue projected their eyes on her, but one was scrutinizing and the other was anxious.
She turned a blind eye to it completely, and said as if distressed: "The emperor of Xi is very fond of impatiens, and he has made this kind of flower everywhere in the Xi Palace. I've watched it for a long time, and I've gotten used to it. ”
After speaking, she pretended to be indifferent and walked in front of Gongzi Yunge and took the lead in the mansion.
Nuyue listened to her words, breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly caught up.
The son Yunge behind him also dispelled the doubts in his heart.
Huxizi is light and light on the surface, but in his heart he is "plopping" and "plopping" and jumping very much - think of a heroine like the original owner, a heroic woman, she should be upright and straightforward! She was gambling just now, betting that if she changed her preferences to the original owner, she would admit that she was so generous and justified!
Looking at the appreciative eyes that came from chasing up, Hu Xizi finally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
Crossing the gate, but see a small courtyard, in the courtyard stands a large rockery barrier, the courtyard is surrounded by a fence into a closed space.
Hu Xizi knew that the rockery was hewn and stacked here in order to block the view and buffer the outside airflow, which was very common in ancient architecture, but the ingenious thing was that he replaced the shadow wall with a rockery.
Hu Xizi's eyes moved, and her feet did not stop, bypassing the rockery, thinking that there must be a door or a house or something behind, but to her surprise, after going around the rockery, it turned out to be a solid wall, no doorway and no house, and behind the wall there were bare but strangely shaped branches poking out of the head of the wall, as if silently informing the comer - behind the wall, there is no cave.
A touch of white clothes appeared from the corner of the rockery, and Hu Xizi was secretly anxious in his heart - he thought it was a very easy road, but he didn't expect to get lost at the gate! - Suddenly, there was a faint sound of water, Hu Xizi was slightly stunned, and when she looked closely, there was a hole more than one person wide in the direction parallel to her body, because it was too dark, and it was not in the direction of her accustomed sight, she didn't even find it.
Hu Xizi quickly looked around, there was no other place similar to the door hole, fight!
She bent down and got into the hole, holding the rockery top above her head with one hand to avoid being hit on the head, and the other hand was on the rockery wall and carefully groped forward, the feet were pitch black, Hu Xizi's heart was a little panicked, the sound of water was getting closer and closer, and it was shining by the sun, sparkling.
But walked a dozen steps of the scene, the surroundings are still cramped, but gradually brightened - it turns out that this is two rockeries enclosed by the Yongdao, at the beginning of the entry, the two rockery tops are completely connected, the light is all blocked, now the two rockery tops are slightly cracked, the sunlight is inclined down from the slits, scattered into a silky soft multicolored silk thread. The walls were slightly slippery, and a mossy smell of earth rushed towards you, and the road under your feet gradually broke off, turning into uneven stone piers of different shapes that blocked the flow of water. The distance of the stone pier is sometimes close, sometimes or far, and it is necessary to hold on to the rockery wall and stretch out your feet to carefully explore and touch it.
After walking a few dozen steps, the road ahead gradually opened up, but only two people were allowed to pass side by side, the water became more and more rapid, and the ground had a tendency to go up.
The eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and Hu Xizi's heart suddenly had some kind of touch. As soon as I thought so, there was a vacant lot in front of the meeting without warning, and the open space was surrounded by rockeries intentionally or unintentionally, but this time there were exits in the four directions of southeast, south, and north!
She looked back and saw that the position she had just come out of was a natural doorway between two rockeries, and the strange shape of the rockery was straight towards the entrance of the hole, without adding natural decoration, not rough but with a natural and dangerous beauty!
Gongzi Yunge bent down and walked out, and when he saw her smiling at him, he smiled back.
Hu Xizi walked over, gently touched his sleeve and said, "Since you invited me to come, where is the reason to dominate, you go first!" ”
When Gongzi Yunge heard her say this, his eyes were full of smiles, and he said softly: "Yes!" ”
What's going on, suddenly so happy? She didn't do anything, did she?
Nuyue drilled out of the rockery, took in the scene just now, and scanned the pot Xizi up and down with a strange gaze.
"What?" Hu Xizi pretended to exaggerate and hugged his chest.
"Lady, have you really lost your memory?" Nuyue asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
"In the past, when the female monarch came here, she was also the first to pass through the rockery, and then asked Yunge Gongzi to go first! Just ......"
"Just now?" Hu Xizi smiled, "Hehe, just now I really just didn't know which way to go!" ”
Nuyue's feet slipped, and sure enough, she was thinking too much!
Gongzi Yunge bypassed the rockery in front of him, passed through several not too exaggerated rockery jungles, passed through a moon gate, and saw the rockery surrounding, a kind of petals were almost transparent, and the half-palm-sized flower with a little blue in the heart of the flower meandered all the way to the corner where it disappeared at the foot of the rockery.
There are yellow straight and slender weeds on the rockery, and the disorderly dying struggle from the cracks of the rockery is a scene that can be seen everywhere in late autumn. But the ice beauties on the ground are bright in color, rich in floral fragrance, and full of life. The two completely opposite auras form a strong contrast, and the strange thing is that not only is it not contradictory, but it feels that everything is taken for granted!
Bypassing the triple rockery, there is a clearing, there are sporadic ice beauties growing on the ground, a swing is set up in the clearing, and there are stone tables and stone benches not far away, which are still half-enclosed by the vaguely staggered rockery.
Drill through the rockery door hole next to the swing frame, and see a courtyard, the courtyard door is ajar, and there is a plaque hanging on the door, which is written - Qiu Zhai.
Push the door in, only to see that the land of the yard is flat and clean, three or four bunches of bamboo are planted in the corner of the yard, and there are stone tables and stone benches under the bamboo, and the sunlight projects down, reflecting the shadow of the bamboo leaves on the smooth desktop and stool legs.
Huxizi stopped, only to see that the house in front of him was not big, but it was a simple house with a three-bay front hugging a building, and there were bluestone steps in front of the house, and the door was closed on the steps, so that it was impossible to peek inside.
Nuyue's heart moved, and she stepped forward to Hu Xizi's side and whispered, "This is the study!" ”
"Isn't it cherry blossom viewing? What did you bring me here for? Hu Xizi asked strangely.
Nuyue said: "Guests, cooking tea and entertaining guests, this is the rule of Yunge Gongzi!" ”
