After Aunt Zhang left, Xu Qi'an led the little mare into the yard and tied it to the trunk of the banyan tree.

At this time, he found that in just a few days, the originally depressed courtyard was filled with flowers of different shapes, bees and butterflies dancing among the flowers.

The air was scented with fresh flowers.

Xu Qi'an glanced around and saw a lot of valuable varieties, some of which cost more than ten liang of silver.

The reason why he knows the price of these rare varieties is that his aunt pouts her buttocks every day and plays with potted plants. After spring, she has invested more than 200 liang of silver in this field.

Of course, Xu Qi'an would not ask his aunt how much money she spent to buy precious flowers. Anyway, it was not his money. The main reason is that my aunt's favorite potted plants are always knocked over by Xu Lingyin from time to time.

Every time my aunt would teach her a furious lesson, and then said: do you know how much this cost, you dead child.

"What's the matter with these flowers?" Xu Qian asked quietly.

"The yard was too monotonous, so I bought some flower seeds in the yard." The princess's voice was calm.

The silver I gave you can't afford to buy these flowers..... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart, with a calm "Oh" sound on the surface, showing that he was not interested in flowers.

In my heart, I was thinking that if I bought the seeds, it would be a reasonable explanation. In half a ten day period, the seeds are hastened to produce a scene full of flowers. Is this the ability of the flower god? If you throw this woman into the desert, it will benefit the whole world.

Along this line of thinking, he thought of that small lotus root. If the princess is allowed to cultivate lotus root, can it bring the dead back to life?

Taoist priest Jinlian said that the natural resources and local treasures could not be cultivated alone, but what if the cultivator was Huashen?

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an was a little excited, but he kept a good attitude.

Seeing his lack of interest, the princess was quietly relieved.

"What happened to Aunt Zhang just now?" As Xu Qi'an walked into the room, he asked.

He followed the fragrance into the room, went to the kitchen table, opened the lid of the pot, pot boiled salted peanuts, but also put some spices.

"Living nearby, she was in our house a few days ago... She fell outside my house. Looking at her, she helped. After that, she often came to help me, and she also sent peanuts. "

The princess sat on a small wooden bar with a small bowl on her lap and said:

"her son is in the medicine business. It is said that there are several shops in the inner and outer cities. Because her daughter-in-law didn't like her, her son bought a small courtyard nearby to house her old mother. When she meets people, she says that her son is so filial that she can buy her a house. "

Xu Qi'an leaned against the stove, eating salted peanuts, smashed the peanut shell on her feet, and hummed, "what happened just now?"

The princess shrunk her feet, glared at each other and said with a sneer, "I said that my husband is dead. A little ruffian next door covets my beauty and wants to take advantage of me.

"I sold my house and moved here. I didn't expect that he would come to my house and said that he would come to stay every two days. "

Xu Qian disdained: "covet your beauty? Look in the mirror, princess

"You are not allowed to eat my peanuts," the princess said

"Just eat."

"No eating."

"Just eat."

The whole morning, Xu Qi'an spent in the princess's yard, sitting in the yard, weaving bamboo baskets for her, repairing wooden barrels, making small hoes, chopping firewood... And building a small stove for her to boil water in the yard.

While he was working, the princess sat on the bamboo chair and looked at him, a little absent-minded.

Waiting for time, she quietly got up into the kitchen, perfunctorily cooked a few dishes.

"Is it delicious?"

On the dining table, she holds her cheek in her hand and blinks her eyes to see Xu Qi'an.

Zhenima is bad... Xu Qian said hypocritically: "the cooking skill has improved."

The princess immediately laughed, eyes like crescent moon, hummed: "then you eat all."

"And you?"

"I'm not hungry. I'm full of peanuts."

Xu Qi'an nodded and buried herself in the meal. Soon, she ate all the food she cooked. She almost licked the plate. The princess looked at him in surprise.

Her own cooking skills are very clear. After all, the tongue can't cheat people.

"Life is like this. Simple food is real."

When Xu Qi'an spoke, she took a look at Princess Aojiao. She seemed to be moved. Her eyes were soft, but she hid them well.

See, hand into the arms, light buckle mirror, pour out small lotus root.

"I went to Jianzhou this time. I didn't mean to break my promise not to accompany you." Xu Qian sincerely apologizes.

"Who wants you with me?" Don't turn your head.

"It's not for nothing. I found something interesting." Xu Qi'an put the lotus root on the table and said, "it was given to me by an elder. It's said to be a baby, but it's withered. "The color of lotus root is dim, there are many wrinkles on the surface, and the whole is shrinking.

"What is this?" The princess's attention was drawn.

"I don't know. It's baby anyway." Xu Qian sighed:

"it's very important to me, but it seems that I can't support it. But even if it withers, it's also a kind of medicine. It's not a trip in vain. "

Mu Nanzhi is very sensitive to her identity. Xu Qian doesn't want to let her know that she has seen through her real body, so as not to cause her unnecessary panic.

The princess thought about it, took the lotus root, wiped it on her sleeve, then showed her white teeth and took a bite.

Xu Qi'an was caught off guard and didn't have time to stop him.

The princess chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed them. She said happily, "it's very sweet. Well, it's still alive. Just keep it for a while. "

“!!!”

Xu Qi'an was shocked, and his great joy engulfed him. Unexpectedly, a random attempt could get such a reply.

If this small lotus root can be successfully cultivated, there will be a second nine color lotus in the world. It can grow on its own and bear lotus pods......

Xu Qi'an has seen the miraculous nature of lotus seeds, and from now on, he will get 24 lotus seeds every time he passes a Jiazi.

This, this......

in addition, if lotus roots can grow up, the conditions for the ancestors of Wulin League to break the barriers will be met. If he can borrow lotus root to promote the second grade, he will owe himself a big favor.

In the future, when we have a showdown with mysterious warlocks, the ancestors of Wulin League will become one of their biggest cards.

Xu Qi'an's heart became hot quietly. He tried his best to restrain his excitement and said calmly, "then you can try. Well, if you don't feed me, remember to give it back to me. I have another role to play. "

If I don't, I'll take it to the national teacher.

The princess nodded.

Wait, why did the national master ask me to ask for this lotus root? She is the head of the clan. She should know that it is difficult to cultivate nine color lotus root, so the purpose is probably to refine medicine.

If you can refine medicine, why should I ask for it? Is it just a slip of the tongue or something else?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help looking at the princess.

No, Luo Yuheng can't know that she was raised by me secretly. Well, I'm not familiar with the national teacher. I don't know much about her. I can't make a hasty conclusion.

I thought the princess was a mascot, as long as she was beautiful. I didn't expect that she gave me such a big surprise. Every fish in my fish pond is useful.

At this time, the princess hesitated for a moment, and said, "I, I've spent all my money..."

at this point, I don't seem to be used to asking men for money. It will appear that she is a concubine who is kept outside, so she turned away and said carefully:

"can you give me a little more?"

Didn't I just give you 15 Liang before I left? It's almost finished in five days? Xu Qi'an looked at her and didn't speak.

Aware of his silence, the princess suddenly turned her head, looked at him, then turned her face and said coldly, "you don't give it."

She has some grievances.

Xu Qi'an poured out five pieces of silver ingots from the fragments of the book, one ingot and twelve Liang, and put them on the table one by one. Then he broke them like pancakes and squeezed them into one piece.

"As a woman, you'd better not use official silver and silver ingots. Broken silver is enough. This is not easy to attract outsiders. What I just thought was that I didn't take this into consideration when I gave you the silver ingot last time. I blame myself very much.

"Since I can't be with you all the time, I should pay attention to these details. It's my fault. It won't happen again. "

He has a sincere tone and a sincere expression.

The princess was still looking at the door, but her voice was a little soft and said that she was not angry.

...

half a day later, Xu Qi'an took the princess to the downtown, bought Rouge powder, added vegetables, rice, oil and salt, and beautiful clothes. Before dusk, she left with a little mare who had been left out in the cold for a long time.

As soon as he left, Aunt Zhang came back.

Looking at the big and small bags of things in the room, Aunt Zhang was surprised and said, "Mu Niang Zi, is your man gone? Tut Tut, it's worth tens of taels to buy so many things. "

Aunt Zhang glanced at her daughter's household goods and objects, and exclaimed: "ouch, your man is very kind to you."

The princess is a little proud, but she never shows her nature in front of outsiders. She says in a dignified and gentle way:

"my man is a caretaker for big families. He doesn't come back on weekdays. Even if he comes back, he has to go back before dusk. In the morning, I was angry that he ignored me and lied to you. Don't blame Aunt Zhang. "

Said, handed a packet of mutton, a box of rouge.

Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand: "I'm an old lady who needs these, so I'll take the mutton."

The old woman's face brightened with enthusiasm.She doesn't doubt mu Nanzhi. If she is a pretty beauty, Aunt Zhang may doubt that this is the outer room of a master.

But this mu Niang's figure is plump and graceful, but her face is really plain. Even if you are an apprentice in the marketplace, you will not have the wrong idea of such a mediocre woman.

...

Xu Fu.

Xu Qi'an, wearing a strong black dress, led the little mare home. The Royal dress was changed when he was in the hurdle.

He didn't want to change again.

At the dinner table, Uncle Xu drank wine and asked, "where did you go this time?"

Xu Qi'an lowered his head to eat: "Jianzhou, helped his friends fight."

"Tianzong saint and Lina, are they going too?"

"Well."

Xu Er Shu took the opportunity to teach his nephew: "don't fight all the time. There are more mountains in Jianzhou. Jianzhou is the holy land of Dafeng martial arts.

"If you look like this, it means that your friend didn't get into trouble with a strong man, otherwise......"

Xu Xinnian swallowed his rice and said, "Jianzhou is the state with Wulin League?"

"No, the Wulin League in Jianzhou is so powerful that the local government has to bow down. What's more, they are very united. If they mess with one, they will bring out a group. "

"The leader of Wulin League is Cao Qingyang, the top three in the martial arts list, right, Dad."

"Yes, Jianzhou is a forbidden area for villains in the Jianghu, just opposite to Yunzhou. Cao Qingyang is a hero in the world. "

Auntie, a woman, listened with relish and asked, "that's worse than Ning banquet?"

My aunt is very unlucky, just like her nephew.

The second uncle pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Ningyan is still far away. If you practice for another five years, you may be able to compete with the leader. And they don't buy the face of the government. "

He knew that his nephew was liupin.

Aunt a listen, quickly said: "fortunately Ning banquet did not provoke others, good how to run sword state fight."

Xu Lingyue spoke for her elder brother and said in soft Judo: "Dad, my elder brother has a sense of propriety. The Wulin League is so powerful that he won't provoke. "

Xu Qi'an ate in silence.

At the end of dinner, Xu put down his chopsticks and said, "brother, come to my study."

The two brothers walked out of the front hall side by side and entered the study.

Xu Xinnian closed the door, went straight to his desk, pulled out a thick stack of paper, and said, "it's 20 years since Yuanjing emperor ascended the throne. All the living records of the 20 years are here."

Xu Qi'an glanced, closed his eyes, and said helplessly: "you are cursive..... No, in just five days, you have collected the living records of emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty for 20 years?"

Facing his elder brother's shocked eyes, Xu Erlang raised his chin with a proud but calm attitude and said: "I'm promoted to the seventh grade. The Confucian seventh grade is called benevolence. If you want to enter this grade, you must understand benevolence and righteousness. Benevolent, love the world, is a moral model. Only benevolent people can cultivate noble and healthy spirit. Therefore, the seven grades of benevolence are the foundation of the four grades of gentleman.

"Of course, I'm far from Sipin, so it's not something to be happy about. For me, it's just a small step."

is not worth being happy, so what make complaints about so many...... Xu Qian thought in his heart and asked, "

," what kind of combat strength do the benevolent people have?

Xu Erlang's face suddenly froze: "no, it just makes my memory and physique stronger."

Poof, it's still a weak chicken... With a smile, Xu Qi'an picked up the daily record and read it carefully.

This cursive script is really... Cursive. Xu Qi'an looked for a moment and wanted to curse his mother.

Ancient cursive script is similar to the star signature of his last life, not for people to see. Of course, readers can understand it, because cursive has a fixed form.

But Xu Qian is not a scholar.

"Read it to me."

"... all right."

The two brothers listened to each other and read the other. They exchanged two candles.

During this period, Xu Erlang kept drinking tea to moisten his throat and went to the toilet twice.

The emperor's daily life record records his words and deeds in daily life and in the process of discussion.

Xu Erlang did not record all of them. He automatically deleted some daily conversations that were obviously meaningless.

Not until the middle of the night.

Xu Qi'an closed his eyes for a long time. After digesting the content completely, he opened his eyes and said with disappointment: "it's not valuable, at least I can't see it now."

Xu Erlang asked, "what do you want to find out about Emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty?"

"I don't know. I just think he has a problem. Well, I don't think he does. After coming back from Jianzhou, I am more sure that our majesty is not as simple as it seems."But I'm not sure where there is a problem. There is no clear direction. We can only try our best to collect his relevant stories and see if we can find any clues from them. "

Xu Qian said.

"Yuanjing's power is at its peak. How simple is it?"

Xu Erlang make complaints about it and then say, "did he ask me, I don't know, but I know there is something wrong with this living room."

Xu Qian was stunned, "what's wrong with the daily record?"

PS: I feel like I've coded 40000 words, only 4000. Bald, six thousand words is really the limit of human beings, and I exceed the limit every day, I even more eight thousand.
