Meng Xinghe grabbed the young plant in his hand, and the surprised expression on his face was more prominent. When he observed it carefully just now, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he immediately recognized what this plant was.
Unexpectedly, alien species have already invaded the land of my country, the Tang Dynasty. If Meng Xinghe saw it correctly, the emerald-colored food in his hand should be an imported product from across the ocean, not an unknown plant native to the Tang Dynasty. .
"Why, Brother Meng knows the name of this grass?" Dean Meng put down the hoe in his hand out of curiosity and asked carefully. He couldn't find anyone in the Tang Dynasty who knew this grass-like grass. Seedlings, does Meng Xinghe know?
Meng Xinghe frowned, when did this thing get the name Xiaocao? Who gave it such a popular name? It insulted this magical plant. Meng Xinghe said seriously: "Dean Meng doesn't know, this thing is not mine." Plants that grow natively in the Tang Dynasty, I don’t know where Mr. got it from, they are definitely rare items,”
After Meng Xinghe said this, Dean Meng really couldn't hold himself back and said anxiously: "Brother Meng, please tell me, don't whet my appetite."
How could Meng Xinghe dare to say nonsense? This kind of plant has been spread all over the country in modern times. However, it was really shocking to see it in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago. After sorting out the information in his mind, Meng Xinghe said carefully: "This kind of plant, It is not called grass. Its scientific name is aloe vera. It grows in a country far away from the Tang Dynasty. Don’t underestimate this plant. It is full of treasures. It is not only edible, but also medicinal. The main reason is that it has natural whitening, moisturizing, sun protection, freckle removal, detoxification, calming, anti-inflammatory, sterilization, hair care and hair care and other all-round beauty effects. It is simply a favorite product for women."
A series of adjectives jumped out, and Meng Xinghe exhausted almost all his knowledge to evaluate the value of this plant. However, Mr. Meng's aloe vera here is too small, and it seems impossible to mass-produce processed aloe vera products.
Mr. Meng was dumbfounded as he watched Young Master Meng’s passionate and impulsive speech. He couldn’t believe that this seemingly young plant had so many effects. “Brother Meng, what you said is true. It’s called aloe vera, not aloe vera.” Grass,"
"Why am I lying to you? I used to have a pot growing it at home, and I would break off one of its leaves and apply it on my face every day. Didn't you see that I look so fair now?" Meng Xinghe assured, patting his chest. In modern times, this kind of plant can be found everywhere. It's obvious that it's strange that he doesn't know.
You don’t blush when you speak. You are as fair as wheat in the field. Mr. Meng directly ignored the words that Master Meng used to describe his handsomeness, and laughed and said: "Brother Meng is really talented at knowing people. He can even know their scientific names." I am really impressed by what I pointed out. If my friends hear this, I will be extremely grateful to Brother Meng for clearing up the doubts today."
He said a lot of praises and thanks, but Meng Xinghe didn't take it to heart. At this time, Mr. Meng had already bent down and transplanted the seedlings in the basket into the soil one by one. He was careful in every move. It turns out that he is a person who loves flowers and plants.
Meng Xinghe took a look and saw that there were dozens of seedlings in the basket. To be able to cultivate so many seedlings, Mr. Meng's friend must have a larger aloe vera breeding base. Meng Xinghe was happy in his heart. Aloe vera is full of treasures. If you work hard and come up with those aloe vera processed products, it will be nothing but money.
Rouge and gouache are just a thing. I will use aloe vera to develop natural cosmetics and eliminate all those rouge and gouache. By then, my rouge shop in Miaoyufang will not be able to make a lot of money.
Meng Xinghe made his wishful thinking, and said without revealing his face: "Mr. Meng, I don't know if your friend has planted a lot of aloe vera. Hey, the weather is good today. It's rare to see such a good day. We should go and watch it. Check out those foreign products to avoid regrets for the rest of your life,"
Meng Xinghe, under the guise of looking for novelties, first threw a stone down to ask for directions to see if the road was clear.
Mr. Meng didn't know what he was up to, so he said openly: "I think it's better to let it go. My friend is very stingy. Even these dozens of aloe vera plants were obtained by me personally writing ten poems." It’s not easy,”
Mr. Meng lamented one after another, as if these dozens of aloe vera plants were indeed hard-won. Meng Xinghe burst out laughing when he heard this. Old Meng’s friend was really strange. He wrote poems in exchange for aloe vera. That’s great. I have read three hundred Tang poems by heart. , coupled with the poetry of later generations such as the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, he did not even include all the aloe vera in his garden.
"I don't know where Mr. Meng's friend lives yet. The student happens to have a few poems here. I also want to exchange two aloe vera plants for bonsai. I can use them to whiten my face. You see, the sun in Jiangdu has burned my face. It's so dark. I'm just trying to remedy the situation. Could you please point me to a clear path?" Master Meng's face was very sincere, and his words were better than his singing. He only had a few poems in his mind. He was going to grab someone else's aloe vera. .
When Mr. Meng heard this, he was very happy. He thought about it a little and said, "It doesn't matter if I tell you. It's just that Brother Meng promised me to give me two aloe vera plants in exchange for it."
I have never met someone as ruthless as Old Man Meng. He is truly a hero who doesn’t care about the way out, and who is shameless regardless of his age. Everyone has their own agenda.
Forced by the situation, Meng Xinghe had no choice but to compromise and said: "Sir, don't worry, if there are students, you will have your share, sir. Tell me quickly. It's getting late, so I can trade them for you as soon as possible so that I can plant them in the ground." "Damn old man, you have already planted so many aloe vera seedlings, and you still want to plant them. It would be strange if you don't die from exhaustion," Master Meng said with contempt in his heart.
After hearing that the blackmail was successful, Mr. Meng looked at Master Meng with a smile and said: "Brother Meng, please remember that my friend has very high requirements for poetry. If you can't catch her eye, you won't get aloe vera." , and you will be scolded by her, you are really sure,"
Damn old man, you don't believe me, do you? Meng Xinghe almost cried and said: "Mr. Meng, needless to say the student's character, he is not the best in the Tang Dynasty, but he is still in the top ten. As for poetry, you Just be patient, it’s definitely a very good poem, the kind that even you can’t write,”
"Okay, okay, it's up to my friend to decide whether it's good or not." Without pursuing the authenticity of Meng Xinghe's words, Mr. Meng still had a lot of aloe vera that had not been transplanted, so he immediately said impatiently: "Take your poem Go to the Jiangdu Censor’s Mansion to find Miss Lu, and it depends on whether she is willing to change."
It was hard to waste any time, so Mr. Meng went straight to planting his aloe vera.
Censor's Mansion, why do these three words sound so familiar to me? Isn't it the home of that crazy woman Lu Ning? I also wrote poems about farts, so why don't we just go and negotiate with that crazy woman?
Bang bang bang, Master Meng took a running start and ran straight out of the Provincial School towards the Censor's Mansion in the city.
Fortunately, it is not difficult to find the Yushi Mansion. Just pick up anyone in Jiangdu and they will enthusiastically introduce it to you.
"Brother, you can't even find the Yushi Mansion. Turn left three hundred steps ahead, then turn right, and you will see a white jade bridge. Walk forward three hundred steps, cross an alley, turn right three hundred steps further, and see a tree. Tall banyan mulberry tree, turn right three hundred steps and head forward,,,,,,"
"That's enough," Meng Xinghe roared angrily. This is also called easy to find. It's almost like a maze, winding and twisting. I can't remember clearly why there are no taxis or telephones in this era. I screamed several times in my heart, Meng Xinghe You can only rely on your super memory to ask questions step by step.
Finally, his words were not wasted. Before sunset, Meng Xinghe finally saw the plaque of the Yushi Mansion hanging on the door of a mansion. He walked over quickly with relief. As soon as he stepped onto the steps of the Yushi Mansion, the two soldiers looked alike. The guard held a spear against Meng Xinghe's chest and said sternly: "You are a brave commoner who dares to break into the Yushi Mansion without permission. If you don't leave quickly, don't blame my two brothers for enforcing the law impartially."
What I hate the most is people pointing guns at me, especially men. Meng Xinghe raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "I'm a dignified little pervert. How dare you call me a commoner? I'm clearly a pervert. Keep your eyes open. You know who I am,"
The two guards looked carefully and couldn't tell which family Meng Xinghe was from in Jiangdu. They were already familiar with those people who had been in and out of the Yushi Mansion for a long time. Naturally, they were not afraid and said, "I don't care who you are. You broke into the Yushi Mansion without permission." It’s a capital crime, so it’s better to leave quickly,”
The two guards spoke with such integrity that even Meng Xinghe admired them.
"Hey, two brothers, did you drop that silver on the ground? I'll pick it up and give it to you." Meng Xinghe threw a piece of silver on the ground with lightning speed, and immediately picked up the silver and handed it to you. The two soldiers said: "I just saw that you lost your money, and now it returns to its original owner."
The two guards looked at each other, quickly put the money into their pockets and said: "I think the young master is still a good person. Tell me, what do you want from our censor? I will tell you."
Money is really a good thing. When Meng Xinghe heard that there was something going on, he immediately said honestly: "The two eldest brothers don't know that the younger brother has some frequent contacts with the daughter of the Censor. I came here today to have a look at Miss Lu, and I asked the two eldest brothers to lead the way. Thank you very much, brother,”
It turns out that this boy wants to chase the apple of the eye of the Royal Censor. Maybe he may become the uncle here in the future. Seeing that this boy is quite decent-looking and has a tricky way of doing things, the possibility of becoming the uncle is very high. The two guards look at each other. After taking one look, he immediately handed the silver in his hand back to Master Meng and said, "Master, please come with us. Miss Lu is in the back garden. Please forgive me for neglecting Master earlier."
Damn it, I'm almost as cunning as I am. These two guards will definitely have a future in the future. Meng Xinghe took the money unceremoniously: "Two elder brothers, please lead the way. This is my first time here, and I'm afraid I might get lost." It’s not good,”
After passing through the long jade-floored corridor behind the gate of the Censor's Mansion, and turning several walls, Meng Xinghe finally came to the outside of the back garden that the guards mentioned.
This is the forbidden area of the Yushi Mansion. Of course, the two guards did not dare to enter rashly. They only took Meng Xinghe outside the garden and turned around and left: "Miss Lu is inside. If anything happens to the young master in the future, please come to us two brothers." ,We will definitely help you with all our strength,,”
"Definitely, definitely," Meng Xinghe clasped his fists and said in greeting. Seeing the two soldiers leaving, Master Meng cleared his throat, coughed a few times, and slowly walked towards the back garden of the Censor's Mansion.
