Chapter Twenty-Nine: Different
There is also a pond in Chufu, there are a lot of lotus leaves planted in the pond, there are a lot of lotus flowers in this world, the red and white ones are very good-looking, digging a pond in the courtyard of the mansion is a common thing for wealthy people to do, and I don't know when this custom began.
The pond has to be filled with water, just there is water naturally not thoughtful, there must be fish in the water, even if the fish is not a precious species, it must not be far off, mortals have carp since ancient times to jump over the dragon gate said.
Raising a few carp, not being able to watch, also has a good meaning, and can even change the feng shui, which is probably an important reason why they dig the pond.
Where there is a pond there are fish, planting lotus is not common, even if there is a silt and not stained saying, really like but very little, the main reason is that the lotus spring is born and autumn die, fiddling with it is laborious, although the lotus is good-looking, but it is only a little time, and there is no after that.
There are lotus flowers here in Chufu, which is different from Wangfu, Lu Mu asked Xiaoxi how to tidy up these lotus leaves, Xiaoxi's answer is not to tidy up, the water of this pond is living water, after the lotus blooms, you will see, after defeat, let it fall into the water by itself, part of it has become fish feed, and more are washed out with the current.
Yu Mu smiled and subconsciously felt that this was a bit of a waste, Xiao Xi smiled and said: "This can't be considered a waste, sometimes we also dig lotus roots from this pond, and we can also pick lotus seeds, so that the chef can make them delicious." ”
Mu said: "That's very good, you can eat what you grow by yourself, you can see the scenery without seeing it, and you can also provide food, which is good, but why do you want to let the water wash it away, it won't be that there are too many lotus roots in this pond, you can't eat it all." ”
Xiao Xi said: "How can it be, how big can this pond be, how many lotus roots can be produced, we also have a hundred and ten people in Chu Mansion, wouldn't we starve to death just by relying on these." Lu Mu asked what the reason was.
Lu Mu was a little in a trance, this problem came out without doubt, there was no reason to continue, Lu Mu knew very well, he didn't have much time.
Xiaoxi didn't hide anything, saying that this was Chu Fenggu's explanation, first, it was time-consuming and laborious to do so, and the harvest was not the same as the labor paid, after all, it was his own pond, even if he could produce some lotus roots, they were all very small, and the taste would not be much better.
The most important thing is that Chu Fenggu feels that since it is living water, it is a complete system, just like a big family, and should not be changed too much.
According to Xiaoxi, they don't understand this statement very well, they are just subordinates, they all listen to the master, and they do what the master tells them to do, which is not a bad thing.
After listening to Xiaoxi's words, Lu Mu didn't know whether Chu Fenggu said such a thing out of his heart, or if he had such an idea for a while, Chu Fenggu could show that he was a blessed person, and a blessed person should not experience such a disaster.
Lu Mu had one more thought, no matter whether Yan Yan was here or not, he had to solve this matter, walking through the pond, Xiao Xi led Yu Mu and walked inside, Lu Mu asked where to go, Xiao Xi said: "I will lead you to see the young master's retreat place, maybe it will help you what you want to do." ”
Lu Mu hurriedly asked if this is okay, don't you have to wait until Chu Fenggu comes back, Xiao Xi said: "No, the old lady can let me lead you around this courtyard, which means that such a place can be visited, and there is nothing to hide." ”
Lu Mu said: "Listen to what you mean, there are really places in Chu Mansion that we can't go, and I'm really a little curious when you say this." "Lu Mu's words are more of a joke, I just think Xiaoxi is not bad.
According to the standards of the world, Xiaoxi is already very remarkable, but his background is not very good, otherwise there is no essential difference between other rich sons, thinking of this, Lu Mu has a different feeling in his heart, unfortunately this is something he can't solve, and it's useless to do anything.
Xiaoxi's reaction exceeded Lu Mu's expectations, Xiao Xi glanced at Lu Mu and smiled: "We are just subordinates, what the master thinks will not tell us completely, this is also very good, knowing that what I can bear will not have any troubles." ”
Yu Mu smiled, Xiao Xi was telling the truth, Yu Mu didn't care too much, this is not something he should care about, Yu Mu followed Xiao Xi, there was nothing to say along the way, until he came to a house Xiao Xi stopped, looking at the square place in front of him, Yu Mu really had no way to connect it with the house, but it was just a larger box.
There is a very small door here in front of Yu Mu, barely able to pass a person, no window, no roof, I don't know what will happen if I stay here in winter, anyway, if I stay here in summer, I will definitely not be able to stand it, I Mu went around the house and returned to the original place to stand.
Even though he silently told himself not to say it a few times during the process, Lu Mu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you sure this is where your son cultivates, why is this happening?"
Xiao Xi looked at Lu Mu with a somewhat puzzled expression, and Lu Mu continued: "I mean this is too difficult, such a place, you don't have to go in to know what the situation is inside, you young master don't need to embarrass yourself like this." ”
Xiaoxi said: "I don't know about this, this house has been here for a long time, and none of us have ever entered it, but I heard the old lady say that this is the back road of Chu's mansion." ”
Lu Mu was stunned for a moment, and walked around the house again, but he really couldn't see anything special, and Lu Mu said: "There don't seem to be any gaps around, how do you send food inside?"
Xiaoxi walked to the front of the house, near the door, about a meter high, patted it, and a square brick moved out, Xiaoxi took out the brick, and there was a square hole in the wall, and it was no problem to see the size of a bowl, or a smaller plate.
Lu Mu looked in through the hole, it was pitch black and couldn't see anything, Lu Mu asked what was going on, was Chu Tianxiang not inside, Xiaoxi explained, this is just the hole outside, there is another layer inside, only when the two holes are opened, can you see the scene inside, Lu Mu then understood, and thought that it was strange and didn't feel anything.
Xiaoxi put the entrance of the cave again, saying that Chu Tianxiang would come out of here today, and there was no need to bring him food, Lu Mu asked some questions, such as how is the situation here, how to light, how to make the air circulate, Xiaoxi did not give an answer.
Xiao Xi didn't know anything about this house, and Lu Mu couldn't see anything strange, at the moment he didn't have any spiritual power at all, and he couldn't sense anything, Lu Mu originally wanted to wait a little longer, Xiao Xi said: "Let's go back, if our young master comes out, it won't be good if he sees us, and he still has to wait for the master?"
On the way back, Lu Mu was a little flustered, he didn't know what was going on, according to Lu Mu's thoughts, there must be some reason why Chu Tianxiang suddenly wanted to practice.
If it was instructed by Yu Yan or the rest of them, at this time they should be able to see some clues, cultivation is Chu Tianxiang's own business, there is no need to accompany him, according to what is already known, it seems that no one is manipulating Chu Tianxiang, it is completely spontaneous behavior.
Lu Mu felt that Chu Mansion was not simple, there must be things or things he didn't know, I don't know if these things have anything to do with them, Lu Mu followed Xiaoxi back to the old lady, and before he entered the house, Lu Mu heard the old lady's laughter, and he should be very happy.
As soon as Xiaoxi entered the house, she whispered something to the old lady, and the old lady looked at Lu Mu and said: "You have seen the place where Xiang'er is practicing, have you noticed anything unusual, it is really strange today, obviously I asked you to help, obviously we still have a lot of problems here, but I am very happy in my heart, I don't know what is wrong?"
Lu Mu had already returned to his seat, Lu Jin and Xiao Qi were also looking at him, Lu Mu shook his head and said: "Except for the house is a little strange, there is nothing else, there is such a house in the house, it is really, it really doesn't make sense, is there something else in the house." ”
Even if the old lady tried her best to keep it, Lu Mu could still see some changes, and the old lady said: "That house is indeed not a simple house, but it must have nothing to do with Xiang'er's affairs, and Xiang'er will be the same in any house." ”
Lu Mu said: "Yes, yes, only when the young master comes out and ask him how to figure things out, the old lady doesn't have to worry too much, we will definitely do our best." ”
The old lady laughed again, looked at Lu Mu and said, "I'm not worried, I sometimes figure it out, everyone has their own way of living, everything is fate, and there is nothing to excuse, right?"
What the old lady said contradicted herself, Lu Mu understood it very well, this is the kind of family affection between the old lady and Chu Tianxiang, this kind of family affection is difficult to describe in words, you can feel it with your heart, but you can only feel it, it is impossible to grasp it, it is changing all the time, and I can't understand what kind of consequences it will bring, it's not that I don't know, but all the consequences are possible.
With such a premise, many decisions to be made will be different, Lu Mu said that he didn't understand, and he didn't feel clearly, Lu Jin smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady, there will be nothing wrong with handing over such a thing to us, you must believe us, we will definitely bring Ling Gongzi back, if it doesn't work, we will compensate you for yourself." ”
The old lady was stunned and laughed and said: "This is not good, how can I have such a great blessing, out of thin air, there are two people like immortals, I can't afford to enjoy it, I can't afford to enjoy it." ”
Lu Mu looked at Lu Jin, such words must feel a little awkward when they came out of Lu Jin's mouth, only Lu Mu knew in his heart that it was not only he who changed this time.
