Vol 2 Chapter 190: Xu 7'an: There is no waste fish in my fish pond

After Aunt Zhang left, Xu Qi'an led the little mare into the yard and tied it to the trunk of the small banyan tree.
At this time, he discovered that in just a few days, the originally sluggish yard was full of various flowers, and bees and butterflies were dancing among the flowers.
The air is mixed with fresh floral fragrance.
Xu Qi'an glanced roughly and saw many rare varieties, some of which cost as much as ten taels of silver.
The reason why he knew the price of these precious varieties was because the aunt at home poked her with potted plants every day. After the spring, she invested more than 200 taels of silver in this area.
Of course Xu Qi'an would not ask how much money his aunt had spent to buy rare flowers, anyway, it was not his money. The main reason is that my aunt's beloved potted plants are always overturned by Xu Lingyin from time to time.
Every time the aunt would violently teach her, and then babbled and said: Do you know how much these are worth, you dead child.
"What's the matter with these flowers?" Xu Qi'an asked calmly.
"The yard is too monotonous, so I bought some flowers to plant in the yard." The princess said in a calm tone.
With the silver I gave you, I can't afford these flowers... Xu Qi'an muttered in his heart, with a calm "Oh" on the surface, showing that he was not interested in flowers.
In my heart, I was thinking that if it were the seeds I bought, it could be explained reasonably. In half a ten-year period, the scene of urging seeds into flowers full of flowers in the courtyard, is this the ability of the flower god? If you throw this woman into the desert, you will benefit the whole world.
Following this line of thought, he thought of that small piece of lotus root. If the princess is asked to cultivate the lotus root, can he bring it back to life?
Taoist Golden Lotus said that Tiancai Dibao cannot be cultivated alone, but what if the cultivated person is the of flowers?
Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an was a little excited, but kept his mind very well.
Seeing his lack of interest, the princess breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
"What happened to Aunt Zhang just now?" Xu Qi'an asked as he walked into the house.
He followed the fragrance into the house, walked to the stove, and opened the lid of the pot. Salted peanuts were boiled in the pot, and some spices were added.
"Living nearby, she was at our house the other day... I fell outside my house and looked at the poor, so she helped. After that, she often came over to help me, and Peanuts too She sent it."
The princess sat on the small wooden bar, the small bowl was placed on her lap, and said:
"Her son is in the medicinal material business. It is said that there are several shops in the inner and outer cities. Because the daughter-in-law doesn't like her, her son bought a small courtyard nearby to settle the old mother. Whenever she met people, she said that her son was filial She bought a house."
Xu Qi'an leaned on the stove, ate salted peanuts, smashed the peanut shell on her foot, and hummed, "What happened just now."
The princess shrank her feet, staring at each other with a sneer, and said with a sneer: "I said that my husband is dead, and a little ruffian next door covets my beauty. He wants to behave a few times and takes advantage of me.
"I sold the house and moved here. I didn't expect that he would come here, and he said that he would come to live in every two days."
Xu Qi'an disdainfully said: "Covet your beauty? Princess, look in the mirror."
The princess said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat my peanuts."
"Just eat."
"No eating."
"Just eat."
Throughout the morning, Xu Qi'an spent the whole morning in the princess’s small courtyard, sitting in the courtyard weaving bamboo baskets for her, repairing wooden barrels, making small hoes, chopping wood... and built a firewood for her in the courtyard. Small stove for water.
While he was working, the princess was sitting on the bamboo chair and watching, a little lost.
When it was almost time, she got up in silence and went into the room, cooking a few dishes perfunctorily.
"Tasty?"
At the dining table, she put her cheek in her hand and blinked at Xu Qi'an.
Real Nima is unpalatable...... Xu Qi'an hypocritically said: "Cooking skills have improved."
The princess suddenly laughed, eyes like crescent moons, and hummed: "Then you finish all the food."
"how about you?"
"I'm not hungry, I'm full of peanuts."
Xu Qi'an nodded and immersed himself in the meal. After a short while, he ate all the dishes she had cooked and almost licked the plate. The princess looked at him blankly, somewhat surprised.
Her own cooking skills are still very clear, after all, the tongue will not deceive.
"That's how life is, it's true."
When Xu Qi'an was speaking, he glanced at Princess Tsundere. She seemed a little moved, her eyes softer, but she hid well.
Seeing this, he stretched his hand into his arms, pressed the mirror lightly, and poured out a small piece of lotus root.
"I went to Jianzhou on this trip. I didn't mean to break my promise not to accompany you." Xu Qi'an sincerely apologized.
"Who wants you to accompany you." The princess curled her lips and turned her head away.
"It's not a trip in vain and found something interesting." Xu Qi'an put the lotus root on the table and said, "It was given to me by a senior. It is said to be a treasure, but it has withered."
The lotus root is dull in color, with many wrinkles on the surface, and the whole is shrinking.
"What is this?" The princess was attracted.
"I don't know, it's a baby anyway." Xu Qi'an sighed with emotion:
"This thing is quite important to me, but it doesn't seem to be able to support it. But even if it withers, it's a medicine. It's not a trip for nothing."
Mu Nanzhi is very sensitive to her identity, and Xu Qi'an doesn't want her to know that she has seen her true identity so as not to cause her unnecessary panic.
The princess thought for a while, took the lotus root, wiped it on her sleeve, then exposed her white teeth and took a bite.
Xu Qi'an was caught off guard, too late to stop.
The princess chewed a few mouthfuls, swallowed, and commented happily: "It's quite sweet. Well, it's still alive, it's fine to raise it for a while."
"!!!"
Xu Qi'an's heart was shocked, and he was swallowed by immense joy. He didn't expect to get such a reply from a random attempt.
If this small lotus root can be cultivated successfully, there will be a second nine-color lotus in the world, which can grow on its own and bear lotus.......
Xu Qi'an, the of lotus seeds, has been seen before, and from now on, he will get twenty-four lotus seeds for every one piece.
This this.........
In addition, if the lotus root can grow up, the conditions for breaking the barrier of the ancestors of the Wulin League will be satisfied. If he could be promoted to the second rank by using lotus root, he would owe himself a prodigious favor.
In the future, the ancestors of the Wulin League will become one of his biggest cards.
Xu Qi'an's heart warmed quietly, tried his best to contain the excitement, and calmly said: "Then you can try, um, if you don't support it, remember to return it to me. I have another role."
If there is no support, I will take it to the national teacher.
The princess nodded.
Wait, why did the national teacher ask me to ask for this lotus root? She is the head of the human sect, and she should know that the nine-color lotus root is difficult to cultivate, so the purpose is probably to refine medicine.
If you can concoct medicine, why should I ask for it? Do you just say it casually, or do you have another purpose?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the princess.
No, it is impossible for Luo Yuheng to know that she was secretly raised by me. Well, I am not familiar with the Chinese teacher, and I don't know her well, so I can't make a hasty conclusion.
I thought that the princess was a mascot, as long as she was beautiful. I didn’t expect to give me such a big surprise. Every fish in my fish pond is useful..........Xu Qi’an sighed with sincere emotion .
At this time, the princess hesitated for a while, and said a little bit: "I, I have spent all my money..."
Speaking of this, it seems that I am not used to asking men to stretch out their hands for money, which would make it appear that she is a concubine raised outside by others, so she turned her face away and said in a whisper:
"Yes, can you give me more."
Didn't I just give you fifteen taels before I left? Five days are almost finished? Xu Qi'an glanced at her and said nothing.
Perceiving his silence, the princess suddenly turned her head, glanced at him, turned her face away, and said coldly: "Just forget it if you don't give it."
She was a little wronged.
Xu Qi'an poured five silver ingots from the fragments of the book on the ground, ten taels each, and placed them on the table one by one, and then crushed them into pieces like sesame seed cakes.
"You are a woman, it's better not to use official silver and silver ingots. Broken silver is enough. This is not easy to attract outsiders to worry about. What I just thought was that when I gave you silver ingots last time, I didn't take this into consideration. I blame myself very much. .
"Since you can't stay with you all the time, you should pay attention to these details. This is my mistake and it won't be anymore."
He has a sincere tone and sincere expression.
The princess still looked out the door, but she made a soft "um" in her voice, indicating that she was not angry anymore.
...........
In the next half day, Xu Qi'an took the princess to stroll around the city, bought rouge gouache, added vegetable rice oil and salt, and beautiful dresses. Before dusk, he led the little mare that had been left out for a long time.
As soon as he left with his front foot, Aunt Zhang came with his back foot.
Looking at the big and small things in the room, Aunt Zhang was surprised: "Miss Mu, your man is gone? Tsk tsk, buy so many things, it would cost dozens of taels."
Aunt Zhang glanced around and found that they were all her daughter's supplies and objects, and she screamed again and again: "Oh, your man is so kind to you."
The princess was a little proud, with her eyebrows curled, but in front of outsiders, she never revealed her nature, and said dignifiedly and gently:
"My man takes care of the nursing home for large families. He doesn't come back on weekdays. Even if he does, he has to go back before dusk. In the morning I was angry that he ignored me and lied to you. Don't be surprised, Aunt Zhang."
With that, he handed a pack of lamb and a box of rouge.
Aunt Zhang hurriedly waved his hand: "I am an old lady who needs these, so I will accept the lamb."
The old woman smiled eagerly on her face.
She didn't doubt Mu Nanzhi's words, if she were replaced by a delicate beauty, Aunt Zhang might suspect that this was the outer room raised by a certain elder.
But although this lady Mu had a plump body, her face was a bit more ordinary. Even as a disciple in the market, he wouldn't think too much of such a mediocre woman.
.........
Xu Mansion.
Xu Qi'an was wearing a black costume and took the little mare home. The brocade dress was changed when he hooked up the fence.
He didn't bother to change it.
At the table, Xu Ershu drank wine and asked, "Where did I go this time."
Xu Qi'an bowed his head to eat: "Jianzhou, help my friend fight."
"The Heavenly Sect Saintess and Lina, too?"
"Ok."
Xu Ershu seized the opportunity to teach his nephew: "Don't always fight and kill. One mountain is even higher. Jianzhou is the holy land of Dafeng martial arts, and there are countless masters.
"Looking at you like this, it means that your friend didn't provoke a strong man, otherwise..."
Xu Xinnian swallowed the rice and said, "Jianzhou, is there a state in the Wulin League?"
"No, the Jianzhou Wulin League is so powerful that the local officials have to bow their heads. Moreover, they are particularly united, and if they provoke one, they will bring out a group."
"The leader of the Wulin League is Cao Qingyang, the top three in the Jianghu Martial Arts Ranking, right?"
"Yes, Jianzhou is a forbidden place for the villains of the rivers and lakes, just the opposite of Yunzhou. Then Cao Qingyang is a generation of heroes in the rivers and lakes."
My aunt, a woman of the kind, listened with gusto, and asked, "That's better than Ningyan?"
The unlucky nephew was in her aunt's heart, just like the world's number one master, she didn't say anything, she was very convinced.
The second uncle pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Ning Yan is still far away. After five years of practice, he might be able to compete with that leader. And they don't buy the government's face."
He knew that his nephew was a sixth grade.
When my aunt heard this, she quickly said, "Fortunately, Ning Yan didn't provoke others, so why did she go to Jianzhou to fight in a good manner."
Xu Lingyue spoke for her elder brother, judging and judging: "Father, elder brother does things well. The Wulin League is so powerful, he will not provoke him."
Xu Qi'an ate without a word.
At the end of the dinner, Xu Xinnian put down the dishes and said: "Brother, come to my study."
The brothers walked out of the front hall side by side and into the study.
Xu Xinnian closed the door, walked straight to the desk, drew out a thick stack of paper, and said: "Emperor Yuan Jing became the throne for 20 years, and 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 records of Yuan Jingdi's twenty years of life?"
Xu Erlang met his elder brother's shocked gaze, lifted his chin, a very proud, but forcibly calm posture, and said:
"I have been promoted to the seventh rank. The seventh rank of Confucianism is called the benevolent. If you want to step into this rank, you must understand benevolence and righteousness. The benevolent, loving the world, is a model of morality. The foundation of a gentleman's realm.
"Of course, I'm still far from the fourth rank, so this is not something to be happy about. For me, it's just a small step."
It's not worth being happy, then you still talk so much... Xu Qi'an complained in his heart, thought about it, and asked:
"Does the benevolent have any combat power bonus?"
Xu Erlang's face suddenly stiffened: "No, it just made my memory and physique stronger."
Puff, that's not a weak chicken... Xu Qi'an held back a smile, picked up the daily record, and read it carefully.
This cursive script is really.... It's cursive~EbookFREE.me~ Xu Qi'an looked at it for a moment and wanted to scold her.
Ancient cursive scripts are similar to the signatures of celebrities in his previous life. They are not for people to see. Of course, scholars can understand, because cursive script has a fixed body.
But Xu Qi'an is not a scholar.
"Read it to me."
"......Ok."
The two brothers listened to one, read the other, and exchanged two candles.
During this period, Xu Erlang kept drinking tea to moisturize his throat and went to the toilet twice.
The emperor’s daily life records are some words and deeds in daily life and in the process of discussion.
Xu Erlang did not record all of them, and he automatically deleted some apparently meaningless daily conversations.
It wasn't until the latter half of the night that they were all finished.
Xu Qi Anwu closed his eyes for a long time for a stick of incense, and when he had completely digested the content, opened his eyes, and said with some disappointment:
"There is no value, at least I can't see it now."
Xu Erlang asked, "What on earth are you going to investigate Emperor Yuanjing?"
"I don't know, I just think he has a problem, um, I don't think there is a problem. After returning from Jianzhou, I am more sure that our majesty is not as simple as the surface.
"But where is the problem, I am not sure, there is no clear direction. I can only collect his related deeds as much as possible to see if we can find clues from it."
Xu Qi'an said.
"Yuan Jing Quan Shu reached its peak, where is it simple?"
Xu Erlang spit out, and then said: "Did he ask me, I don't know, but I know there is a problem with this personal record."
Xu Qi'an was taken aback, "What's wrong with the daily recording."
.........
PS: I felt that I had coded forty thousand words, but only four thousand. My head is bald, and 6,000 words are really the limit of human beings, and I am surpassing the limit every day, and I am getting 8,000 more every day.
