Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 232 Ground Pupa Cicada (4)
Speaking of this mansion, it has a lot of background. It was the old mansion of Wang Niancan, the commander-in-chief of the Xi'an garrison. In Xi'an city, apart from Ziqi Villa, this mansion has the best geographical location and the most luxurious. Large manor, the most majestic pavilions!For every plant, every tree, every mountain and every stone, Wang Niancan tried his best to build and manage it according to the model of Ziqi Villa, but he strictly controlled the rules of etiquette so as not to fall into the trap of Yuan Clan's party. middle.

In the history books, Wang Niancan was called the No. 1 loyalty to the Yuan family by the historian. When the Nanzhao invaded Xi'an, Wang Niancan's two sons Wang Baozhong and Wang Baocheng died in battle. His daughter Wang Baochan and his maid Lu After E was captured alive by Hu Yong, he bit his tongue and committed suicide on the same day. When the city was finally broken, Wang Niancan led his whole family to commit suicide.

On the eve of the Swallow Army’s return to the rivers and lakes, the Holy Majesty had already secretly rebuilt the Wang’s mansion, expanded the Runhu Lake in the garden, and planted countless famous lotus species, named Zhongyan’s Mansion, and specially rewarded it to Yu Fei after he ascended the throne. The Yan family demonstrated the unprecedented favor of the royal family to a commoner general.Of course, this may also imply Taizu's appeasement of Feiyan's eight-year release.

As soon as she entered the house, Yu Feiyan went to the court to express her gratitude to the emperor in front of all civil and military officials. In order to express her gratitude to the emperor, she changed the name of the original Run Lake in Wang's garden to Enhe Lake, implying future generations. I will always remember Yuan's kindness.The Holy Majesty was very pleased, and then bestowed the honor of the first-grade pearl, the imperial wife, and the six children were granted the golden lock of longevity. For a while, the emperor and his ministers wept with emotion, and the historian used a strong stroke to describe this touching The scene was recorded.

That day, after Yuan Feibai returned to court, he still smiled and said to me with emotion: "Mu Jin knows that now your brother is very diligent in economics and official career, and there must be some expert guidance."

Then I said in unison with him: "Pearl!"

After a while, the two of us looked at each other and smiled.

As soon as she entered the mansion, Pearl had already brought a group of dark-skinned children with her, and behind her were a few old women in charge of Shengu who came to greet her at the main gate. Pearl was about to salute, so I hurriedly stopped her, and I glared at the children. "Quickly call Fourth Aunt!"

Seeing their mother smiling and nodding their heads, the children rolled their small eyes and called me with giggling smiles: "Fourth aunt is well!"

The little rabbit started to walk very fast, ran over and jumped into my arms, called Fourth Aunt sweetly, then stood on tiptoe and kissed me, which made me miss Xiyan even more and worry about the safety of the children in Dali.

A large group of children ran and jumped to lead the way, picking willow branches and green strips and laughing and playing. Pearl welcomed me in with a smile.Along the way, I saw that the newly renovated halls and pavilions in the mansion are very majestic and majestic, the gardens, trees and rocks are lush and lush, and the servants are dressed in simple but neat clothes. I just feel that everything is in order.

When we came to the Enhe Pond, the lotus flowers in the pool were blooming very loudly, the flowers and leaves on the blue waves were swaying in the wind, gulls and herons were flying, and it seemed that only the tangy fragrance of lotus flowers remained in the clear sky.

When we arrived at the Qinfang Pavilion in the middle of the lake, the surrounding waves beat against the shore, the summer heat disappeared, and the impetuous heart became much calmer.

Pearl let the children call me according to my seniority, but she still called me Princess Jin.

She still followed the old practice of the original mansion and asked people to place refreshing jasmine and gardenia flowers around.The air is fragrant, and she said: "This year, the lotus in Enhe Lake blooms well, and this pavilion is in the center of the lake. Although the lotus is fragrant, but the flowers are not as red as a hundred days, I always worry that some of them will emit some peculiar smell. In addition, I have been thinking about my husband for the past few days, and I am a little anxious, so I put some gardenias, jasmines, etc., so that I can feel at ease."

My heart skipped a beat.What kind of person is Pearl, could it be that she knew that I was looking for those golden cicadas, so I was so anxious that I got a high fever?Therefore, it is really intentional to put some elegant floral fragrances to calm my mind.

She smiled and chatted with me about the homework, and at the same time made people serve a few small dishes.I glanced around, and saw that all of them were my favorite Jiangnan dishes—bad goose gizzards, crystal salted hoofs, crabs stuffed with flowers, rose goose pancakes, etc., and the white jade cups contained Wuling, scorpion, and some four-season dishes. Fresh fruit, as well as a green agate plate of cold cake with fruit filling, are all made of ingredients that clear fire and moisten dryness.I can't help but sigh in my heart, Yu Feiyan really married a capable and considerate daughter-in-law!
I was thinking about how to open my mouth, she had already dismissed her family and children calmly, leaving only one confidant girl, Zhui'er, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, and she was also from the valley of God, I saw her smile like a flower to me, "Said It is very effective to clear away heat and detoxify by taking this Fuci to quench thirst and numbness heat, warming the middle and nourishing Qi, and lowering the alchemy stone."

My heart moved again, but she continued to smile and said: "Because this thing grows underwater, it is abundant in the south of the Yangtze River. People call it Jiangnan ginseng, right?"

I nodded and said yes with a smile.In the past, it was all over the streets in Guazhou, and I ate it with my family in Moyuan, but now in Chang'an City, it has become a luxury that is hard to buy.

Pearl asked Zhui'er to hand me a double-layered food box with red sandalwood and sunflower patterns, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, a lot of them grow by the bank of the emperor's mighty Enhe pool. The princess said, this is not the emperor's blessing. But what is it? If you don’t eat with some concubines, it’s really your husband’s fault.”

Well, I'm sure and 100% sure now: With you, Yu Feiyan really doesn't have to worry about getting promoted in this life!
Zhui'er held the food box and handed it over very seriously, as if it was full of gold ingots.My heart suddenly became clear.Yu Feiyan was injured on the front line. The Holy Majesty once rewarded countless rare medicinal herbs. I heard that there are a few unique golden cicadas inside, and they must be lying in this food box.I was so grateful in my heart, I gently bowed my head to her, and said sincerely: "I don't want to thank you for your kindness, my sister-in-law has taken care of you."

Xiaoyu gently took it over and lifted the lid slightly, and immediately looked at me with surprise on her small face, wanting to kneel down to Pearl excitedly.

Pearl just lifted her up with her hand, and shook her head lightly, "Miss Xiaoyu loves to eat, next time I'm pregnant, I'll let Zhui'er deliver it in person, don't be too polite."

She looked at me with beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Actually, when I was in Yuanfu, I heard that there is a large underground river under Xifengyuan. The soil there is moist, and maybe a few good things can be planted underground. .”

Underground of Xifeng Court?Isn't it the dark palace?Does it mean that there are cicadas under the dark palace?That's right, I remember when Pearl and I were imprisoned by Duan Yuerong, Pearl had mentioned the Dark God in advance, which showed that she knew very well about the dark palace!

Strange, even eight years ago, Pearl was just a little powerful girl, but I remember that Lan Sheng and Fei Bai both told me clearly that the dark palace was a secret that the Yuan clan never passed on.Why would a girl know the secrets of the Yuan Clan, easily see through Jinxiu's personality, point out the first painting, and even be designated by Yuan Qingjiang as Yu Feiyan's servant, specializing in the important task of spying?
Due to the inconvenience of asking in front of everyone, I just came to a preliminary conclusion in my heart: my sister-in-law Pearl is a mystery!A big mystery no less than the original family secret.Now I made up my mind to find an opportunity to solve this mystery.

After returning to Xifengyuan, I asked Xiaoyu to find a way to send out the two cicadas given by Zhuzhu, and then I went to Lansheng, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I had to turn to the tree on the other side of Mochou Lake for help. Xiao Zhong chasing hares under the big locust tree.

"Where's Lan Sheng?" I stroked Xiao Zhong's head and asked softly.

Unexpectedly, no matter how I coaxed, lured, intimidated, threatened, or lured me with a big meaty bone, Xiao Zhong's dog's head would just twist and turn, and finally ran to a place one meter away from me, looking at me cautiously.

I turned my head to Xiaoyu and said with a sigh: "It seems that Xiaozhong doesn't..."

In the time of turning his head, before the word "know" was uttered, Xiao Zhong suddenly jumped up, grabbed a big fleshy bone stick and fled without a trace.

I stood up resentfully, sighing in my heart.Lan Sheng was hiding from me on purpose. Could it be that he guessed what I was going to ask him?

Xiaoyu said sadly: "Uncle Lan Sheng must still remember the disaster of Nanzhao, and he is unwilling to help Dali tide over the difficulties."

I patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. has a way to find him, and you can ask him yourself then."

I took out Qingcheng from my sleeve, whispered something to it, Qingcheng immediately ran around me, and then jumped straight to the big locust tree.Sure enough, after a while, Xiao Zhong ran back from a long distance with a big fleshy stick in his mouth nervously, looking nervously at the crown of the locust tree.

In July, the branches and leaves of the locust tree are in full bloom, and the scorching sun shines through the gaps in the dense leaves. Even under the cool shade of the tree, it feels a little scorching, so Lan Sheng yelled, and one person, one mouse, and a pile of locust tree leaves It fell to the ground.

Lan Sheng held the long tail of the big mouse in one hand, slipped his trouser belt in the other hand, and said dumbly: "Look, the beasts of the Xuanyuan family were trained by you to develop this virtue."

He threw the big mouse to me, turned his back, quickly tied up his pants, and said coldly, "I don't know anything, you can find it yourself."

I hate in my heart, this Lan Sheng really knows everything.I'm also really confused, how did I find out after going around such a big circle?It was too time-consuming, so I whispered softly right away: "Sixth Brother really knows the difficulties of Fourth Sister, take me to the dark palace to find it."

"Why don't you go directly to Master Dark God?" He crossed his arms, with a gloating expression, "Aren't you the big buyer of passionflower? Why do you want me?"

I was choked for a minute, swallowed my anger and said: "Saving people is like putting out a fire, you can't delay even a moment, what will the sixth brother want?"

Lan Sheng sneered a few times, turned around and wanted to leave.

Xiaoyu suddenly walked around in front of Lan Sheng, without saying anything, but with red eyes, she knelt down all of a sudden, knocking her head on his muddy feet, her shoulders trembling slightly.

It seemed that something was scratching my heart, and the tears couldn't help but flow down.While Lan Sheng was in a daze, I patted Xiaoyu's shoulders, then knelt down with her and looked up at him, "I know you hate foreigners, but in Dali there are not only people you hate, but also many Innocent foreigners and Han people, including my daughter, my students, and many kind friends, what's more, if the epidemic in Dali is not eliminated in time, it will move northward, and the consequences will be disastrous."

I said sincerely: "Just think about it, who do I trust more, you or the Lord of the Dark Palace?"

The sun shone on Lan Shengguang's forehead, his slender and strong figure stood upright like a jade mountain, his clear peach blossom eyes gradually changed, finally he helped Xiaoyu and me up with a sigh, and whispered in my ear: "Wait for me tonight, just you. Miss Xiaoyu stays in the Shangxin Pavilion as a cover."
