Chapter 152 Begonia in Jinguyuan
Outside the Tai Chi Hall, Le Shi hugged Qin tightly, with nothing else in his eyes.
This was given to her by her husband on the day she became the Crown Princess. It is extremely precious.
Now she has nothing.
Her status was gone, her husband was gone, and her son was gone. In order to avoid suspicion, her family stopped interacting with her. In addition to being full of resentment, only this pair of zithers could give her some thoughts and allow her to think back quietly.
The past that has passed away.
People live in memories.
The carriage came rattling.
Leshi glanced at Yang Xianrong.
Yang Xianrong nodded and said: "Go."
Leshi smiled faintly, turned around and got into the carriage with Qin in his arms, without saying a word.
The carriage slowly left.
Yang Xianrong suddenly felt regretful.
There is no other reason than that I feel a little envious to see that a sinner like Le Shi can actually escape from the sea of suffering and fly out of the prison.
Although the soldier's son was a bit domineering, there was no woman around him. With Le's temperament, appearance, and a hint of sadness in his eyebrows, how could Shao Xun really bear it when he saw him?
Thinking of this, Yang Xianrong's face also felt a little hot.
Your Majesty used to keep an eye on toads, but now he likes to let people splash in the river and watch fish jump out of the water.
Are toads and fish more fun than the queen?
Yang Xianrong used to be too lazy to think about these things, thinking that some lives were completely dispensable, but today his mood was a little confused. When he turned around and left in his carriage, he felt a bit like he was running away.
Leshi and three other female musicians arrived at Jinguyuan on the same day.
"Look before you move forward." A slightly childish voice suddenly sounded.
"Tie your crotch together." More than a hundred people echoed in unison.
"Look ahead and look behind." The original voice sounded again.
"Let's get together with the iron hat(hù)ho(máo)." More than a hundred people shouted again.
Leshi opened the car curtain and looked at the teenagers who were lining up neatly out of Jinguyuan.
They looked serious and their faces turned red from singing so hard.
Wearing a ridiculously large leather armor and carrying a spear on his shoulder, he walked and sang very seriously.
There are so many young soldiers in Jingu Garden, and they are singing slang songs and tunes that come from unknown sources.
The wording of the minor tune is very simple, and the melody is not very elegant, but Leshi is good at music, and it is easy to hear it. This minor tune is catchy, sung by young soldiers, and has a unique charm.
, can also relieve fatigue after exercise.
Quite interesting.
The carriage quickly drove to the mountain gate.
Leshi gently got out of the car, stepped on the soft grass with her embroidered shoes, and took a look at the famous Jingu Garden.
"Wow!" There was an exclamation in the distance.
Leshi raised her eyes and saw seven or eight teenagers around ten years old looking at her with wide eyes.
They were holding hay in their hands, some had runny noses, and their big black eyes flickered.
The leading boy, who was older, scolded the foolish children one by one and told them to leave quickly.
"Sir, is that Master's Wife?"
"Sir, Master's wife is here, should we go to worship?"
"How long..."
Leshi pursed her lips and smiled, then looked away.
Several other female musicians also got out of the car.
The smile on Leshi's face faded, and she slowly moved forward with Qin in her arms.
The steward of Jinguyuan was sweating profusely and leading the way. No one else in the house knew, but he still knew the identities of these female musicians. The other three were ordinary, but the Weile family was the most important: this was the Crown Princess!
The husband is nineteen years old this year, and he doesn't seem to know when he will get a wife. When Leshi comes to serve, he may have a few children. If the husband likes her so much, he can marry her as his wife directly. It is not impossible.
Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?
Qichun Pavilion arrived soon. This was the residence arranged for Le Shi.
After a brief explanation, the steward left in a hurry.
After a while, several more maids brought over some daily necessities, including items taken from the Chengdu Palace.
Leshi carefully placed the piano, then smoothed her hair and opened the window.
The first thing that comes into view is a pond.
The pond is full of lotus flowers. The breeze blows and the water is calm.
Jingu water flows through the pond.
There are many crabapple trees planted along the river.
It is said that Shi Chong loved this thing very much and regretted that the crabapple had no fragrance. He once sighed and said: "If you can smell the fragrance, I should store it in a gold house for you."
Literati would even give each other crabapples.
It's a pity that the flowering period has passed and now we can't see it.
Leshi slowly walked around the room again.
Someone had lived in this place before, because there was a strange bed - it was very high, had legs on the four corners, and was hung with gauze.
There is a bookshelf diagonally opposite the bed, which contains many books, including paper books and bamboo slips.
Leshi was a little curious, so she picked up one and read it. The first few words attracted her: "Guangcheng Garden..."
The renovation of Guangcheng Garden has been very in-depth.
Last year, we spent the whole winter clearing and dredging, digging ponds, and strengthening dikes.
Starting in March this year, tens of thousands of masters from five counties began construction again.
Because several ponds and some small lakes were dug, the water in the small ponds was diverted to form larger lakes.
The Masters laid roads between the lakes to facilitate travel.
The open space between the lakes is being gradually cleared, and these will be planned as farmland. Moreover, they are high-quality irrigated land, and the yield will be quite good.
Of course, according to Yang Xianrong's temperament, it is naturally impossible for him to concentrate on farmland for you.
In fact, under her intervention, a viewing pavilion was built on the smaller island in the center of the lake, and a small courtyard was built on the larger island, where people can live.
After the masters cut down all the miscellaneous trees on the mountainside, they originally transplanted many fruit trees, but Yang Xianrong also asked for a batch of beautiful flowers and trees to be added, so that the entire garden could be used for enjoying the scenery.
If Shao Xun knew about these things, he would be furious and make Yang Xianrong scream.
After Leshi read it, he looked at the cover page and found no signature. He didn't know who sent it.
Looking at its smoothness, it is obvious that it has not been read.
Her face felt hot, she put the book back in its place, then came to the window and sat down gently.
Two huge, round hemispheres were pressed against the bed, stretching the skirt around her hips tightly. Leshi rested his cheek on his left hand and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window.
Guangcheng Garden......
I don’t know why Shao Xun, the owner of this place, is so obsessed with Guangcheng Garden.
Does he want to be the governor of Xiangcheng?
Guangcheng Garden is so close to Nanyang. If you can go there, you can see the grassland where I played as a child, the garden where I played as a girl, and the moon-viewing pavilion where I sat quietly the night before my wedding.
It was filled with memories of her past.
She was tired of this world of killing and killing.
Thinking of this, she sighed.
Shao Xun seemed to be a man who loved killing, but he fell into the hands of such a rude military leader.
She subconsciously clutched the piano given to her by her late husband, as if it was a life-saving straw.
She also recalled the scene when her husband mentioned Shao Xun when he returned to Yecheng, saying that the golden-armored young general treated people as prey, trampled thousands of troops, and captured a military academy alive...
A resentful sigh sounded, this is fate.

Lu Zhi arrived at the Chengdu Prince's Mansion, only to find that there was no one here.
He frowned and after asking the neighbors carefully, he learned that the concubine had been picked up several months ago and her whereabouts were unknown.
Lu Zhi suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Being dismissed from office and having no news is really annoying.
Immediately he sighed again, his entire family had been condemned to death a long time ago, leaving the princess alone. Now the princess has also disappeared, and the last old friend has also disappeared into his world.
Lu Zhi was a little confused and didn't know what to do next.
Who can I sell my talents and knowledge to?
If it really didn't work out, he could only go to Sima Yue. But the news that came two days ago made him hesitate.
The Western Expedition army certainly defeated the King of Hejian and captured Chang'an.
However, the governor Mi Huang, the palace general Shao Xun and others killed all the Xianbei cavalry who entered the city to plunder.
Lu Zhi didn't believe that this was Sima Yue's instruction.
If you think about it carefully, Mi Huang is loyal, but lacking in ability and courage. It was probably not his idea.
Then the answer is obvious. The palace general Shao Xun took the lead in this incident, because his name was listed second on Lubu Feijie's documents, higher than He Lun, Pei Kuo, Wang Hu and others.
Lu Zhi thought about it for a while and keenly sensed some unusual meanings.
There seems to be a rift between the monarch and his ministers, Sima Yue and Shao Xun.
In fact, this is inevitable.
The two of them have reached this point, and there is no telling who is right or wrong.
If Shao Xun follows the steps and is loyal, he will not be promoted after reaching a certain level, and then he will not be promoted even for ten, twenty or even thirty years.
If he ends up miserable, he will end up like Zhang Fang and be collectively ostracized by the shogunate officials.
This world is what it is, and it cannot be changed by your outstanding abilities and outstanding achievements.
Shao Xun seems to have recognized his future a long time ago.
His reaction was a little too intense.
"Woof woof..." Lu Zhi, who was walking silently, suddenly heard a dog barking.
No, it's not a dog barking, it's more like a human imitating a dog's barking.
Turning around, he saw Hu Wufu, the concubine of his former brother-in-law, lying on the ground, preparing to get into a dog hole.
He suddenly became angry and said: "Yan Guo, there are people coming and going on the street, why do you act so ugly?"
Hu Wufuzhi, who had already got half of his body in, struggled to get back. When he saw it was Lu Zhi, he smiled nonchalantly and said: "Zidao, I was just looking for someone to drink with, but no one said anything and wouldn't let me in."
, we can only make this last resort and go through a dog hole."
Lu Zhi shook his head, speechless.
Hu Wufuzhi's behavior was not a big deal in the eyes of some scholars who valued straightforwardness and romance. He would even be praised as "true temperament" and "a true celebrity and romance", but Lu Zhi did not see it.
used.
He is not a child anymore, so this is really a bit nonsense.
So he turned around and left.
"Why is Zidao free to wander around today?" Hu Wufuzhi caught up with him, grabbed his hand, and asked loudly.
Lu Zhi shook his hand, but failed to shake it off. He could only say helplessly: "I went to my brother's house today and wanted to pay a visit to the princess, but the building was empty."
"Of course you won't find her there." Hu Wufu said with a smile: "The princess has been awarded by the emperor to the general of the palace, Shao Xun, and she is probably in Jingu Garden now."
"How do you know?" Lu Zhi asked in surprise.
"What Wang Pingzi said is correct," Hu Wufu said.
Lu Zhi stopped.
