Datang Nongwang

Chapter 598 My fourth brother is the protagonist

Wei Zili looked at his master Wei Zheng, and after getting Wei Zheng's words, he quickly called a few servants, and began to move the camellia tree to the courtyard according to Li Chongyuan's words.

"Mr. Wei, I'm going to do it. Don't feel bad because I cut your camellia tree. When the time comes, beat me up." Li Chongyuan said with a smile while holding the pair of scissors that Wei Zili handed him.

Wei Zheng looked at the camellia tree that was moved to the courtyard by his subordinates, and saw Li Chongyuan holding a pair of scissors in his hand. Although he felt distressed, it was for his own camellia tree to bloom, so he nodded heavily, "Cut it. But, Don't cut off my camellia tree, or else, don't say that the old man will beat you up, the old man will definitely beat your ass until it blooms."

Li Chongyuan returned a big smile, without saying a word, picked up the scissors and just got a 'click'.

Not a quarter of an hour.

What needs to be trimmed is trimmed.

Those who should not be pruned were also pruned by Li Chongyuan.

Li Chongyuan doesn't care if he cuts too much or too little, as long as he doesn't like it, he will cut it all off.

"Boy, you are going to cut my camellia tree bare. Look, you have cut my big camellia tree into this shape. If it doesn't bloom by then, be careful. I'll take you for granted. .” Wei Zheng felt distressed.

After Li Chongyuan's click, the camellia tree, which was originally more than half a foot high, was now less than four feet high.

even.

The camellia branches that originally grew to the surrounding area had been pruned by Li Chongyuan until not a single one remained, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they are bare.

Li Chongyuan threw the scissors away, patted the ashes on his hands, and said, "Mr. Wei, there is a saying that you can't bear to let a child catch a wolf. And, just now you agreed to let the boy cut it casually. You have regretted it now. Is it my fault? Besides, if the camellia tree is not pruned, how can it bloom incomparably beautiful flowers? Could it be that Duke Wei likes green leaves?"

"That's all, that's all. Come here, move the camellia tree back, don't let it die in the sun." Although Wei Zheng felt distressed, he had already assured Li Chongyuan beforehand that if he chased after him this time, he would be slapping himself in the face.

When Wei Zheng spoke, Wei Zili hurriedly instructed his servants to come over and move the camellia tree, Li Chongyuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't. Duke Wei, if you want this camellia tree to bloom, you have to put it here, otherwise, even I trimmed it for you, and that won't help."

"Why?" Wei Zheng didn't know.

Li Chongyuan pointed to the sun and said: "Any plant needs the nourishment of the sun, otherwise, even if you have all kinds of means, don't let it bloom."

"That's not right. I've seen the camellia tree raised by the Holy One bloom. Moreover, my camellia tree was given to me by the Holy One. Boy, you don't understand, so you deliberately deceived me? "After hearing Li Chongyuan's words, Wei Zheng thought of the camellia tree in the palace, and began to disbelieve Li Chongyuan's words.

Li Chongyuan shook his head, "Ah!!! Duke Wei, you only saw the camellia tree blooming on the Holy Majesty, but you didn't know that someone in the palace took care of it. Moreover, although there is no sunshine in the imperial garden in the palace, There are still some. I remember that last year, the dozen or so camellia trees in the imperial garden in the palace seemed to only bloom sporadically. But your camellia tree has been placed in a place where the sun does not shine. She blossoms, unless you are a fairy."

After hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned, as if he was remembering something.

Seeing that the little old man didn't speak, Li Chongyuan smiled, slapped his ass and left.

believe it or not.

Anyway, what should be done has been done. If the little old man still doesn't believe it, then it has nothing to do with him.

Wei Zili looked at his master in thought, and after seeing Li Chongyuan walking towards the gate, he had no choice but to send him off according to courtesy.

"Wei Steward, remember, water the camellia tree every day, remember to water it in the morning, don't water it in the middle of the day, otherwise, don't blame me if it dies. Of course, add some fertilizer appropriately, such as Yexiang or something." Li Chongyuan just said at the gate of Wei Mansion, turned his head and looked at Wei Zili with a smile.

When Wei Zili heard Li Chongyuan's words, he nodded first, but then he shook his head, "Li County Marquis, are you trying to harm me? That Ye Xiang can't be used, if I use it, then our house will not stink." I'm so angry. When the time comes, I will be blamed if the Duke doesn't beat me to death."

"What kind of brains do you have? Yexiang can't be used, so you can't think of using something else. For example, horse manure, donkey manure, cow manure, in short, if there is no manure, if the camellia tree dies and withers, then your county will If you pursue the matter, it has nothing to do with me, and as for whether he beats you to death, it has nothing to do with me. Well, the words have been said, and it is up to you to listen to them." Of course Li Chongyuan knew that this time Ye Xiang used , this Wei Mansion is probably really stinky.

However, if the pruned camellia tree is not supplemented with some fertilizer, the chance of withering is still very high.

After all, Wei Zheng's camellia tree was planted in clay pots, not on the ground. It has no source of fertility, and it is normal for it not to bloom.

Moreover, it is placed in a place that does not see the sun all year round. If it can still bloom, then Li Chongyuan really needs to study it carefully.

Li Chongyuan, who left the Wei mansion, would not care whether Wei Zili would listen to him or not.

All that needs to be said.

I said everything I shouldn't have said.

As for what they do, or whether the Wei Mansion will be smelly or fragrant in the future, it has nothing to do with Li Chongyuan.

And from this day on.

The Wei Mansion really started to smell a little bit, and this also made the people who passed by the Wei Mansion, or those who came to visit, cover their noses and pass by, almost no one said it clearly.

someday.

After Li Chongyuan returned to Chang'an City from Li Zhuang again, Wan'er mysteriously took Li Chongyuan to a remote place, looked at Li Chongyuan very mysteriously and whispered: "Fourth brother, do you know that Duke Wei's mansion is haunted?" Yes. I heard that Duke Wei's mansion is very stinky, and many people say that there are ghosts pouring night fragrance into Duke Wei's mansion at night."

At first hearing, Li Chongyuan thought Wei Zheng's mansion was really haunted.

But when the little girl changed her words, Li Chongyuan couldn't stop laughing out loud.

"Hahaha, Wei Zili is really a weird guy, he wouldn't really use Yexiang to top-dress the camellia tree, it seems so. Let's go, let's go and have a look, hahahaha." Li Chongyuan laughed.

Li Chongyuan's smile can be said to have been from his family to Wei Zheng's residence.

When Li Chongyuan came to Wei Zheng's mansion again after ten days, he didn't dare to take off the cloth towel covering his nose.

When Wei Zheng's wife saw Li Chongyuan's arrival, her resentment grew, "Li Chongyuan, look at the good deeds you have done. With you, there will be no way for us to live in this house."

"Auntie, you really can't blame me for this matter. At that time, I told the housekeeper of your house that I just asked him to top-dress the fertilizer, but I didn't expect that you guys top-dressed the camellia tree to such an extent. Eh, it's really over. There are fewer flowers. It seems that this top dressing is still effective." Li Chongyuan really didn't take Wei Zheng's wife's blame to heart.

As far as Wei Zheng's wife is concerned, it's still easy to talk about.

As far as Li Chongyuan knows.

Although Wei Zheng didn't have any shops or any property, he only relied on the production of his conferred land to support his family.

Of course, there is also Li Shimin's reward.

For this reason, it can be said that Wei Zheng's wife has never been idle, and she is either weaving or spinning every day, in order to reduce the family's expenses.

after all.

Apart from her main wife, Wei Zheng also had two concubines.

speak up.

Wei Zheng's wife was originally from the Pei family in Hedong. It can be said that she has a noble status, but she is willing to be a good wife and mother.

Moreover, it was rumored that Wei Zheng was very afraid of his wife, but no one knew if it was true or not.

But from Wei Zheng's ability to accept two concubines, it is enough to overthrow this rumor.

Wei Zheng's wife covered her nose and pointed to the camellia tree in the courtyard, "Nephew Chong Yuan, you should quickly think of a way. If things go on like this, let's not say that our house can't live, maybe even I have to Moved out. You, Uncle Wei, didn’t listen to my advice, insisted on planting this Laoshizi camellia tree, and even said that you must show His Majesty how many flowers the camellia tree he planted can bloom.”

"Okay. Steward Wei, come here quickly. See what you've done to make our aunt like this. Hurry up and change this soil for me, otherwise, I'll have to ask your county magistrate to beat you up soon." Impossible." Seeing Wei Zheng's wife calling him nephew, Li Chongyuan hurriedly agreed.

Wei Zili was a little scared.

during this time.

He really gets a lot of stares.

Following Li Chongyuan's instructions, Wei Zili began to clean up all the soil soaked in night incense in the big pottery vat, and replaced it with soil that Li Chongyuan thought was feasible.

While working, he was being abused by Li Chongyuan.

It’s okay not to scold.

This head really can't bend.

ten days ago.

Li Chongyuan said that besides Yexiang as fertilizer, there are also horse manure, donkey manure and other things, but this guy only knows how to make Yexiang.

However, as to whether Wei Zili can't turn a corner, or Wei Zheng can't, Li Chongyuan can only add this crime to Wei Zili.

and.

Li Chongyuan also saw a large bucket of Yexiang in the courtyard.

With such a big barrel of night incense placed in the courtyard, it's no wonder that the Wei Mansion doesn't stink.

After finishing, Li Chongyuan didn't stay any longer, if he stayed any longer, Li Chongyuan would be suffocated.

Li Chongyuan, who came from the Wei Mansion, looked at the little guy following behind him, and shook his head, "Ruxi, why are you following me? Aren't you studying in the Imperial College? Why are you free at home today?"

"Brother Chongyuan, my mother told me to communicate with you more, and my father often told me that I should learn more from you." Wei Zheng's son, Wei Shuyu looked at Li Chongyuan and replied.

Wei Shuyu is three years younger than Li Chongyuan.

As for the height, it looks a little short, it doesn't look like a 13-year-old boy, but a little guy about ten years old.

Ruxi is his name, Wei Shuyu.

After Li Chongyuan listened, he smiled, "Then you can come to me when you have time, you should go home and play with your little brother first."

Li Chongyuan patted the little guy's head lightly, and walked away with Wan'er.

"Fourth brother, it turns out that the Duke of Wei's mansion is not haunted by ghosts. I thought it was really haunted. However, his house is so smelly that I dare not take off the cloth towel." On the way, Wan'er smiled. Said.

Li Chongyuan laughed dryly.

what the hell.

Where did the ghost come from.

However, Li Chongyuan thought of the camellia tree in Wei Zheng's house, so he could understand why Wei Zheng took such a fancy to it.

If he doesn't take good care of the things Li Shimin rewarded him, if he really died, Wei Zheng might be sad and careful.

Li Chongyuan stayed at his home for a long time, and after seeing his nephew, he went back to Lizhuang.

After seven or eight days.

in the palace.

Wei Zheng suddenly commanded his servants to appear in the palace carrying the camellia tree that Li Shimin rewarded him.

When Wei Zheng showed his camellia tree in front of Li Shimin like a treasure, Li Shimin and others were amazed, "Xuancheng, this is the camellia tree I gave you a few years ago? You haven't even raised a single flower, why are there so many flowers now?"

"My lord, I have taken good care of her for several years, but there has been no flowering. But this year, after I learned from the pain and reorganized it, a lot of flowers bloomed immediately. My lord, please look at these flowers, white It's red in the middle, it's really pretty." Wei Zheng came to Xianbao today, just to tell him Li Shimin, I took good care of the camellia tree you gave me as a reward.

Li Shimin surrounded the camellia tree and nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, after hearing the wind, the eldest grandson empress sent someone to carry it over.

When Sizi saw the camellia tree, he was very happy and rushed over, "Father, it is so beautiful. Why is the camellia tree in the imperial garden not so beautiful? Duke Wei, did you send this to me in the palace?" ?”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he was very embarrassed.

He never thought of giving this rare flowering camellia tree to Sizi.

The camellia tree that has been raised for several years finally bloomed so many flowers, how could he be willing to do so.

Even though this camellia tree was gifted to him by Li Shimin, Wei Zheng is also a person who loves flowers, so there is no reason to give away something he loves.

Just when Wei Zheng was in a difficult situation and his son was begging, Wan'er, who came to the palace today to visit Empress Changsun, came along with Empress Changsun and the others to play with Sizi.

"Sizi, do you like camellias? If you like it, Sizi, you can find my fourth brother. My fourth brother is the best at planting trees. Duke Wei's camellia tree didn't bloom, and my fourth brother helped him cure it. "As soon as Wan'er said this, Wei Zheng's face suddenly seemed to be slapped severely.

As soon as Wan'er said this, whether it was Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, or others, they all looked at Wei Zheng.

At this moment, Wei Zheng really did not expect that Li Chongyuan's little sister would be in the palace, and even revealed that the reason why this camellia tree bloomed was Li Chongyuan's doing.

This made him want to find a seam in the ground and get in directly at this moment, so as not to embarrass himself here.

However, Sizi didn't care what Wei Zheng was doing, and took Wan'er's little hand, "Cousin Chongyuan is very powerful." Then he turned to her father Li Shimin, showing a begging face and said: "Father, I want to go Li Zhuang, I'm going to Li Zhuang to pick melons and watermelons."
