Chapter 255: The sedan chair delivered to the door

The city gate was opened by two people. The young man was curious for the first time when he came to the training ground. He looked inside along the open city gate, but saw that there was no better than outside except for a horse road.

The training ground of the Yuan Dynasty was built near this place, and the Yanshan Mountains were just around the corner.

Yanshan is located on the north side of the Hebei Plain. It goes from Chaobai River Valley to Shanhaiguan, roughly east-west. It is more than 3,000 kilometers long. It is a fold-breaking mountain. The entire mountain range is connected to Qilaotu Mountain and Nuruerhu Mountain on the north side. The Hebei Plain on the south side is large. The height difference is large. The Luan River cuts off this mountain and forms the gorge - Xifengkou. Chaohe cuts off the ancient north-north mouth, etc. It has been a north-south transportation channel since ancient times. It has also had a great status in the military. In ancient and modern wars, it was often a military strategist.

A must-fight place. Not only that, Yanshan is also a natural dividing line between the two major ethnic groups of scholars and farmers. The north of the mountain is the grassland of nomadic peoples, and the south of the mountain is the field of farming peoples. Therefore, Yanshan has become a natural defense line for farming peoples to defend against nomadic peoples invasion. After the Yuan Dynasty moved into the Central Plains, it always attached great importance to this natural defense line. In order to facilitate the Mongolian soldiers to think of the desert that they had galloped in the past, a training ground was built in Yanshan.

But this training ground has not been used for many years, and not many people know it. The young man narrowed his eyes and looked at the gate, muttering hesitantly: "This is the training ground. How come it is broken like this? I am afraid no one will doubt it if it is a ragged ground!"

"Please, please?" The two guards on both sides saw the identity of the young man, and their attitude was extremely respectful, and their waists were almost grounded.

The young man snorted coldly from his nose, kicked the waist card into his waist without saying a word, and walked into the checkpoint with a swaying swaying. The guard on the right looked at the young man's swaying slightly, and spat at the young man's back and whispered: "Damn, why are you so arrogant? You are not just a traitor in the Seventh Prince's Mansion. He relies on the power of the Seventh Prince's Mansion to show off his power. Humph, I don't like you yet!"

When the young man passed away, the guard on the right sniffed at the young man's gradually blurred figure again, then turned around and walked slowly towards the gate of the level.

"I said, can you hurry up? What's your name to him? If the Prime Minister sees us open the door privately, how many heads will you have enough to cut off?" The guard on the left struggled to push the door to close the door with great difficulty, pouting and complaining.

The two of them closed the door and stood in the corner again, continuing the pornographic joke just now. How many fields the emperor had ploughed was more interesting than the young people just now.

***************************

When the sun was just right, Axue and Xiaodie were busy watering flowers in the back garden of Lujiabao. Since he came to Lujiabao and followed Xiao Yun, when Xiao Yun went to the palace to serve the emperor, he was busy all day long. However, these two women in the countryside were very leisurely. Because Lujiabao helped the emperor to take charge of the horses in the world, the oil and water were indispensable. Moreover, the Lujiabao family was mostly important positions in the court, and the daily salary alone was enough to support the son of Lujiabao. Not to mention other land taxes, land taxes, horse sales taxes, etc., all of this was money, so among the rich people in the entire capital, Lujiabao lived a magnificent life.

The two women didn't count the delicious food and drink, but they finally did nothing. Xiao Yun was not there and could not go to Lujiabao casually. In order to save the loneliness in the fort, the two women began to plant flowers in Xiao Yun's back garden. Seeing that the sun was so vicious today, Xiao Yun could not go to Xiangshan Temple because of the great affairs of the court, Axue took Xiaodie to the back garden.

"Sister Axue, will you die if you plant this way?" Xiaodie pointed to a pot of beautiful peony seedlings with beautiful colors and asked worriedly.

A Xue was fiddling with a plate of orchids. Hearing the air, he put down the iron look in his hand, looked up at the peony seedlings that Xiaodie was fiddling with, hesitated for a while, and said, "It shouldn't be possible? Brother Xiao seemed to have said that this flower is very strong, and the former queen Wu Zetian was not afraid, so she shouldn't die so quickly?"

"Queen Wu Zetian? Is this flower still related to her?" Xiaodie became interested and asked curiously with her face raised her face, "Sister Axue, tell me quickly?"

A Xue blushed and said, "This is what Brother Xiao told me. This peony was said to be the most peony flowers in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Oh, by the way, Brother Xiao said that it seemed that there were the most peony flowers in Wu Zetian. Legend has it that on the first day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Tianshu, it was snowing heavily in Chang'an in Xijing. Wu Zetian drank and wrote a poem, and wrote an edict while he was drunk: "In the Ming Dynasty, he traveled to Shangyuan and quickly heard the spring. The flowers must be blooming overnight, and don't wait for the morning breeze to blow.

"The flowers were frightened by this fate and bloomed overnight. The peony did not violate the season and did not bloom. In his rage, Wu Zetian demoted the peony out of Chang'an, imposed on Luoyang, and imposed on fire. The peony suffered this disaster and was like charcoal; but the roots and branches did not disperse, and stood upright in the cold and bitter cold. When the spring breeze blows strongly, the flowers bloom more brightly and are known as "bracked bone peony". Luoyang peony became famous all over the world and was called "flower". Luoyang people cultivate peony and become a custom every day to watch peony.

"I didn't expect that this little flower seedling is so strong, but it's much harder than a little villain who wants wealth!" Xiaodie heard it for a while, sighed, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and continued to ask A Xue: "By the way, Sister A Xue, how do you know so much? Did Brother Xiao tell you?"

When Xiaodie asked Xiaoyun, Axue just remembered the story of the peony flower. When Xiaoyun was lingering with her, she talked about the story of the peony flower and told her. When Xiaodie asked this question, Axue couldn't help but blush and said, "It's not what he told me, it's someone who heard it...?"

Xiaodie was young after all, so she didn't see Axue's twisted expression. She thought Axue was really listening to people, and didn't care. She continued to lower her head and fiddle with the peony seedlings in her hand.

Seeing that Xiaodie was not asking questions, Axu blushed and breathed a big sigh, thinking: "Fortunately this girl didn't ask again, otherwise she would have to tell the truth?"

Just as the two were fiddling with pots of flowers in the back garden, a servant at the door hurried into the back garden, bowed to A Xue who was fiddling with a pot of high-end Clivia, and said, "Madam Xiao, there is a girl outside the door looking for the second master? It is from the Qi Palace." Since Xiao Yun and Lu Zhanpeng became sworn brothers of the opposite sex, most of the servants in the house called Xiao Yun the second master and A Xue Madam Xiao. At first, A Xue blushed and refused to let everyone shout, but over time, he got used to it. What if the servant didn't shout like this, A Xue would still feel uncomfortable all over?

When he heard that there was a girl's house outside the door or the Seventh Prince's Mansion, A Xue's face suddenly looked a little ugly. Lu Feifei talked about the scene of the Seventh Prince's Mansion this morning, and A Xue was vivid in his mind, especially when talking about the friendship between the Seventh Prince's little princess for Brother Xiao, he thought to himself: Feifei girl is not talking nonsense, the Seventh Prince's little princess really has feelings for her husband. What Lu Feifei told her came to her ears again: Tell you, your husband saved the Seventh Prince's little princess at the Seventh Prince's birthday party, and the little princess likes him very much."

A Xue sighed softly, and when she thought of her husband, she couldn't help but feel sad. She said, "My husband has a good character and can also make girls happy. How many people come to her in the future?" But in a blink of an eye, she thought again: "The girls come to her again, this is not enough to show that my husband is good, otherwise why would those girls run to Lujiabao regardless of their reputation?" Thinking that they are the princess in the Seventh Prince's mansion, it is not easy for others to wait outside for a long time. She sighed softly, abandoned the iron gaze in her hand, patted her body, turned her face and said to Xiaodie, "Sister Die'er, you go with me, should you take a look?"

When she heard that she was a little princess, Xiaodie wanted to see it. This morning, Lu Feifei said that she had already said this little princess as if it was in the sky and nothing on the ground, especially when Brother Xiao hugged her and was reluctant to let go. This made Xiaodie have the idea of ​​seeing it. However, she didn't speak much on weekdays, and even if she had this idea in her heart, she would hold it in her heart. She didn't ask her, but she didn't say it. Now when she heard A Xue's call, she knew that A Xue was looking for her to be brave, but she still responded with joy, patted the dust on her body, and jumped out from the rows of peony flower pots in two seconds.

"You are so big and so rash, is it just a rash guy?" Seeing her anxious look, A Xue couldn't help but pat her on her face, smiled and said.

Xiaodie giggled, not caring, so she stepped forward and pulled Axue's wrist and laughed, "Sister Axue is gone. Xiaodie hasn't seen the princess yet? Let's go and see what this little princess looks like, fascinating Brother Xiao?"

"No, who said that my husband was fascinated by the little princess?" A Xue broke Xiaodie's face and pretended to be angry.

Xiaodie and Axue were like sisters, but they were not afraid of her. They laughed and said, "If Brother Xiao hadn't been fascinated by the little princess, why would Sister Feifei say that Brother Xiao was holding someone's little hand and was reluctant to let go? Isn't this fascinated by being fascinated?"
