Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 247 Cotton

Since Lin Guogong became the official history of the five prefectures in Lingnan, the grievances between him and Yang Zhao's group disappeared.

Yang Zhao was busy pleasing the emperor, making friends with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and fighting for power and profit with the prime minister, so he didn't have time to deal with the Lin family.

Mrs. Guo Guo and Pei Hui's mother and son were exposed because of the case of Pei's dude hurting Lin Jiulang. In order to calm down the matter, they put all the responsibility on the dude's family. unlucky.

The bosses have stopped, and there is no need for their dog legs to be troublesome.At most, he had a bad relationship with the Lin family brothers, but he would not deliberately provoke them. After all, Lin Guogong is now a general with military power.

Lin Shilang lived a peaceful life in Qiaoling. One of his uncles found a military position in Beijing, and Lin Jiulang also reconnected with some former friends.Although he knew that these people might not be sincerely friends with him, but for the sake of his family, he still dealt with them bravely and maintained a network of relationships to find out information.

Thanks to this network, he is much more informed about Chang'an's elite circle than Li Lijun who stays at home all year round.In this regard, perhaps even the King of Sui, who seldom intervened in government affairs, and Li Dai, the heir of the Sui Dynasty who could not squeeze into the center of power, were inferior to him.

Listening to his words, Li Lijun couldn't help showing a blank expression on his face.

Ji Wen?In her Tang history notes, it seems that there is this person, who first attached herself to Li Linfu, then defected to Yang Guozhong, and later made friends with An Lushan, and ended up offending Yang Guozhong and was killed.It's just that when and when this person did what, the Tang history notes did not write in such detail.She remembered this name because of his relationship with three big thick legs that ended in misery.Others said that An Lushan raised troops because Yang Guozhong killed Ji Wen, so he wanted to avenge Ji Wen or something... Just listen to this.

The length of Tang history notes is limited, but Li Lijun has too much to extract. She can only select and record the information she thinks is important, and many "side and side" things can only be discarded.But what is important?She just experienced the first novice world, and she was also ignorant at the time, and it was inevitable that she would make wrong judgments.Now, when she heard Lin Jiulang talk about the gossip in the imperial court, she didn't quite get it right, so she could only listen carefully and compare it with the content in the notes.

Lin Jiulang had just talked about this topic with his elder brother Lin Silang not long ago, and now that the discussion was over, he casually mentioned this, seeing that Li Lijun seemed interested, so he chatted a little more.Li Lijun took the opportunity to collect some more information, and planned to write to the King of Sui under the banner of reporting safety after returning to Bieye, persuading him to confine Li Dai at home for a longer period of time.

The two chatted about the gossip in the court, about the recent situation of the Lin family, about their mutual friend Li Shen, who sent the old King Zou to Luoyang for the winter, and about Lin Silang's possible transfer from Qiaoling in the near future.We chatted until the rain stopped, and it was almost noon.

Lin Jiulang looked at the clear sky outside, and he still had some thoughts: "Si Niangzi, why don't you simply stay in the manor for one night? The remaining half day may not be enough for you to rush to Liu's Village for the night."

Li Lijun smiled and said: "After lunch, we can still drive for half a day. It's a pity to waste it. Don't worry that we will miss Sutou. Sanqiao Town is not far from the Weihe River, and Xianyang is just across the Weihe River. Even if we If you can't make it to Liujiazhuang, are you afraid that you won't find a place to stay in Xianyang? I'm looking forward to returning now, so don't keep me. If you have free time, you can come to Saga Mountain to see me."

Although Lin Jiulang was reluctant, he still nodded with a smile when he heard the words: "Okay, then I will visit you when I have free time. Take care on the way." Li Shen is not in Chang'an, so he only has Li Lijun as a true friend.

He invited Li Lijun to have a simple lunch, then sent them all out of the manor, and got on his horse, planning to send his friends all the way to the Wei River and then back.He has plenty of time, and there is still time to return to Chang'an after sending off the people.As for the manor in Sanqiao Town?It was just a place to hide from the rain and chat.

The two bid farewell in front of the Zhongwei Bridge, Lin Jiulang turned his horse's head and returned to Chang'an, and Li Lijun crossed the Weihe River and continued on his way.When we arrived at the intersection outside Xianyang City, the sun was just westward.

Nanny Lu felt that it was still early, so they simply hurried to Liujiazhuang and let it go.Although it took almost an hour to hide from the rain in Sanqiao Town, if the lunch break was excluded, their pace was not much slower than in the past.Liujiazhuang is in the countryside, there is no problem with the city gate being closed, and it can still be reached after dark.They are familiar with the people who do ferry work in the area of ​​the Jing River. If there is no wind and rain today, there is no danger in crossing the Jing River after dark. It is better than wasting half a day in Xianyang.

She told Li Lijun about this idea, and Li Lijun felt it was reasonable: "Let's go on the road, don't stop and rest on the way, and rest when we reach Liujiazhuang. I've seen the sky, and it won't rain again today."

So the group quickened their pace again, and arrived at the familiar Liujiazhuang not long after dark.

Being able to live in their own house makes everyone feel a lot more relaxed.The attendants who stayed in the village got the letter in advance, cleaned the house, prepared hot water and food, and everyone hurriedly washed and ate before they dispersed.

Li Lijun called Nanny Lu into the room to talk, Erhong followed Mrs. Shao to take care of the things that will be used on the road tomorrow, Shi Qing watched for nothing, and ran to see the mouse king.

Li Lijun asked Nanny Lu: "I saw the shopkeeper Lu put a big wooden box on the carriage when he came to see him off. What's in there?"

Nanny Lu hurriedly said: "Things are so hectic today, this old slave almost forgot about it. It was a strange flower that the little lady asked to find earlier. The guys have been inquiring for a long time, and finally there is news. It was delivered to the head office. The old slave’s brother thought, he might as well give the item directly to the young lady to bring it back, so as to save him from making a trip himself. That item is precious! I don’t know if it can withstand the water and soil in Guanzhong. I was afraid that the flower could not be raised well, so I raised the flower to death before handing it over to the little lady!"

Li Lijun blinked after hearing this: "The strange flower I asked someone to find? Could it be... Bai Diezi?!" Speaking of cotton, she was a little surprised.

Nanny Lu clapped her hands: "That's the name! The guys have worked hard. It took a long time to get this pot, but now half of the buds are gone, and I don't know if they can bloom. Don't be disappointed when you see it, little lady, we It’s easy to grow, and it will definitely bloom.”

Li Lijun said with a smile: "If it's really cotton...Baizizi, it's impossible to bloom this season. I know, how can I be disappointed? Let's go and see, are those flowers really Baizizi?"

She excitedly dragged Nanny Lu to the place where the luggage was temporarily stored, found the big wooden box and opened it, and there was a potted plant about a foot high inside, the stems and leaves were similar to cotton, although it hadn't bloomed yet, But Li Lijun has been able to conclude that this is indeed a cotton plant.

One plant is a little less, and the flowers are only in the seedling stage, which is far from large-scale planting.But as long as there is a cotton plant, the rest will not be a problem.It's not that she has no means to promote growth.

Li Lijun happily moved the cotton box to his room, and carefully adjusted the humidity and temperature of the soil in the flowerpot.She decided to put the cotton seedling in her house after returning to Saga Mountain Bieye, put it in a bigger flower pot, connect it to the original soil, add some fairy dew, and slowly grow it taller. Stronger, and then transplanted to the ground in the yard.

Until she has cultivated enough cotton seedlings to grow cotton on a large scale, she will keep this little cotton plant under her nose so that nothing will go wrong.
