Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

Today's rare sun, although still cold, but also warmer than when the snow. Her royal highness was wearing a cotton gown, and the cotton robe was sewn with dark silk and made of leather, and the collar was rolled up to a very warm edge.

If you just walk around the garden and do some exercise, it's enough to dress so warm. Xue Lang got up and went out to the garden with Princess Pingyang.

Although the princess's mansion in weizeguan is not as gorgeous and broad as that in Chang'an City, it is also better than ordinary houses, with a garden.

Princess Pingyang walked ahead, Xue Lang followed behind, crossed the arch and entered the garden -

this was the first time that Xue Lang came to the garden of Princess Pingyang.

Compared with the garden in Chang'an residence, this garden is really only a small garden. Princess Pingyang's residence in Chang'an accounts for almost two-thirds of a Lifang. The remaining one-third is the residence of her neighbor Xiao Xuan. The mansion in weizeguan is not as big as Xue Lang's Prefecture in Chang'an.

The house is not big, so the garden is small. There are not many pavilions and pavilions. There is only a pavilion beside the pond, and the road is paved with pebbles.

As soon as she entered the door, Princess Pingyang stopped in front of a delicate wood whose leaves had already fallen. She said, "this Begonia flower was planted by myself when I first entered Weize pass. The next year, it bears fruit, which is sweet and sour, delicious and delicious."

Then he stopped and turned to ask Xue Lang, "I like planting flowers and trees very much. Can Youyang like it?"

Xue Lang said with a smile: "I also like to play with potted plants by myself, but I play in private and have no systematic study. My level is very amateur."

Xue Lang played potted plants only because of his interest. He didn't study it systematically. He looked for books and read them. Later, he read all kinds of tutorials and materials online and played with them. The level is limited.

Princess Pingyang nodded her head slightly. Her eyes were colder and softer than before. Obviously, I really like these plants and trees. Pointing to the flowers and trees in the courtyard, which one was transplanted, planted for several years, can all come together.

So many times down, this small garden, most of the plants are actually planted by Princess Pingyang. Different from the time when people loved peony more, there were only two clusters of peony in Pingyang princess's courtyard, but the plum blossoms planted well.

Although Princess Pingyang didn't smile, her eyebrows were flying and her tone was very light: "I have a manor in Nanshan. All the plum blossoms are planted in the courtyard. When it's winter, I'll drink under the plum trees and enjoy the snow. Isn't it quick?"

Xue Lang is stupid and can't answer. Most of the time, he listens with a smile on his face and occasionally responds. Princess Pingyang seems to be in high spirits, and her words are much more than before. Listening to her talk, it doesn't matter what the content is. Only the flying eyebrows have dazzled Xue Lang.

"What is Youyang thinking about?" A faint smile on one's face,

, feel shy. "I am just thinking that your highness is coming back to Changan. When your highness comes back to Changan, the plum blossom in your highness is due to blossom, just to enjoy the plum blossom season. I made plum wine in the season of green plum. It's the best to drink it in winter. When your highness appreciates the plum, I'll give it to your Highness for appreciation. "

Princess Pingyang said with a smile, "so I will wait to taste the green plum wine of Youyang. I remember you once said that someone took the snow on the plum blossom to make tea. Is that right? "

Xue Lang nodded: "the water for tea, spring water and well water can be used, even if it is rain and snow water on rainy days, it is OK. However, the rain also has to be divided into seasons. The autumn sky is bright and the dust is less. The rain is clear and swims. It can be used to make tea and taste refreshing and sweet. The rain in Meiyu season, gentle wind and drizzle, moistens everything, such as making tea, is slightly less than autumn rain. Summer rain is not, thunder, flying sand and stone, water is not clean, can not be used to make tea soup

Of course, this rain water can only be ancient rain water, modern rain water, because of the serious environmental pollution, has not been clean, can not be used to make tea.

Xue Lang stopped for a moment and then said, "if you collect snow on plum blossom, the fragrance of tea is accompanied by the fragrance of plum, which is elegant and fragrant, and is loved by literati."

Princess Pingyang asked with a smile, "does Youyang like it too?"

Xue Lang shook his head in embarrassment and said, "although I like tea, if you let me taste it, well water and spring water are still rain water and snow water. I can't tell them apart. Although I like tea, the level is not high. "

Princess Pingyang looked at him and said, "Youyang is also honest."

Xue Lang had no choice but to show his hands and said: "there is no way to be dishonest. If you don't have something, you can't force it. What if your highness gets interested and asks me to guess what kind of water is used for making tea, and I can't answer it? "

Princess Pingyang joked: "it is possible. So honesty today is for the sake of not making a fool of yourself in the future? "

Xue Lang nodded: "correct solution!"

Princess Pingyang lost her smile and took a few more steps. She said, "if you walk in the garden, the depression in her chest will fall away. Thank you for your company."

Xue Lang arched his hand and said, "it's my honor to share the worries and relieve the labor for your highness. Don't thank me."

Pingyang Princess smile, look at him, nodded, looked up at the sky, said: "it's late, and go back.""Here it is."

When they walked out of the garden together, Xue Lang bowed and saluted. When Princess Pingyang entered the gate of the inner courtyard, he turned back to listen to the wind courtyard. As soon as Princess Pingyang entered the room, the maids gathered around her. Mammy asked in a hurry, "it's freezing. The little lady just comes back at this time. Can she suffer from cold? Somebody, give the lady ginger soup

Princess Pingyang said, "Mammy, I'm wearing warm clothes today. I've been holding the stove. My hands are always warm. How can I get cold?"

When mammy heard the words, she reached out and touched the hand of Princess Pingyang. As expected, it was very warm, which relieved her. However, ginger soup was indispensable.

Pingyang Princess drink ginger soup, also not sleepy, leaning on the soft pillow to rest, closed eyes. After quiet for a while, Princess Pingyang suddenly asked, "Mammy, I remember that the governor of Jingzhou once sent me some potted plants this year, but are they still there?"

Mammy said: "back to the little lady, these potted plants are exquisitely made and have been placed in your study."

Pingyang princess said: "first snow, you and take, send to Xue advisory."

"Here it is."

The first snow took orders immediately. Princess Pingyang then ordered: "dusk snow, you go to my library and take a piece of my normal strong bow to give it to Ye Duwei. In addition, take a pair of ruby jewelry and send it to ALU."

"Here it is."

The evening snow also took orders to go.

Seeing this, Mammy carefully advised: "little lady, the old slave should not have said much, but you have given Ye Duwei such a generous reward, and Xue's advisory office has only a few potted plants. Would you be too generous about one thing and one against the other?"

Princess Pingyang said: "Mammy, you can rest assured that Youyang will understand my intention."

As soon as mammy heard it, she said no more.
