Chapter 13 Exploring the Plum Garden

"Then how about playing a song?"

"Didn't you bring a box of books out to read? How dare I disturb you by playing the music." Yang Qihan didn't respond to Zhang Xuanyi's request, she finally came out for a walk, naturally she didn't want to hold the books there watch.Besides, she was too embarrassed to make Zhang Xuanyi study hard.

Zhang Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, feeling troubled in his heart, if he had known this would happen, he would not have done anything unnecessary.

When Yang Qixuan came here, he happened to hear this passage, and said with a smile: "Han'er, Xuanyi also has good intentions. Besides, you have already brought out your bamboo flute, so there is no harm in playing a tune."

"Brother, why did you help Xuan Yi?"

"I'm not watching Xuan Yi being bullied miserably. Besides, you are also invited by Xuan Yi to come out for an outing. It doesn't matter if you play a song." Yang Qixuan didn't want to watch the two quarrel along the way. Just restrict it.

"My brother has already said so, so let's play a tune. Sylphy, do you have a tune you want to hear?"

"This prayer is up to you, I'll just listen."

Yang Qihan played a piece casually, and the sound of the flute rose melodiously, crisp and soft, euphemistic and clear.

"The sound of the flute is melodious and pleasant to the ear, not bad."

"Of course it's good." Yang Qihan gave Zhang Xuanyi a supercilious look, "I don't even look at who played it."

"..." I have never seen such a shameless person.

The scenery has long been covered with snow, but Yang Qihan is in high spirits, after all, he always sees different scenery every time he goes out.

"There are a lot more pedestrians on the road, and there seems to be nothing to see. Sylphy, how long will we be there?"

Naturally, Zhang Xuanyi didn't know. Seeing Yang Qihan staring at him like this, he had no choice but to ask the driver. "It's still half an hour away."

"To the outskirts of Chang'an, it took only an hour to walk slowly. Now we have spent more than an hour on the road. The snow has not melted, so it is better to walk slowly." Yang Qixuan's meaning and the other two also understood that if the carriage was fast It's not good if something happens.

After waiting for another half an hour, the group arrived at their destination.

Zhang Xuanyi got out of the car first, "Yesterday, I ordered my servants to come and clean it up. You must be tired after riding in the carriage for half a day. Take a rest and we will go out to play later."

"Xiu Mu only takes a day, and it takes so much trouble there." Yang Qihan said so, but his heart was still a little touched, he didn't expect Zhang Xuanyi to be so careful.

"There is no need there, this is what is needed."

Even though he was in the carriage all the way, Zhang Xuanyi prepared a hand warming stove.

With a hand warming stove in hand, I didn't feel anything along the way, but now that I got out of the carriage and was blown by the wind, the three of them felt cold, and one or two couldn't help shivering.

"See you're cold, let's go in quickly. You too, go inside to warm up and drink a cup of ginger tea."

"It's not what I want to be afraid of the cold, but your tone is my fault." Even Yang Qihan, who was wrapped into rice dumplings, didn't want to be scolded by Zhang Xuanyi, and even looked at Zhang Xuanyi with a hint of teasing in his eyes. "You know I'm cold, don't you hurry up and lead the way, you really want to freeze me to death."

Zhang Xuanyi called out his grievances, why didn't he lead the way? "I froze you to death, Her Royal Highness will not spare me."

"Zhang Xuanyi!"

Yang Qihan wished he could tear Zhang Xuanyi apart, and lifted whichever pot he couldn't open.

"Couldn't you two say something less? Everyone in front of you is polite, but behind you, you're quarreling. You're still outside Zhuangzi, so be careful." Yang Qixuan was depressed. If these two people just It's okay to meet, but after a long time, there will always be quarrels over trivial matters.At this time, he always acts as a peacemaker to settle these matters.

The rooms of the Yang brothers were arranged in the same courtyard, while Zhang Xuanyi lived in the main courtyard. "Jiantong, go down and rest." Yang Qihan has been following Yang Qihan since he entered the manor.Now Yang Qihan felt sleepy, so he asked Jiantong to go down to rest first. "It's the son."

It was past noon when Yang Qihan woke up from a nap, put on her clothes and accessories, and Yang Qihan went outside.

"Jiantong, why are you here?" Even before he left the room, his eyes had already seen Jiantong clearly.It also happened to be snowing outside, and the wind was a little stronger.

"Let's go." Seeing what Jiantong didn't say, he thought it was to protect himself outside.

"In the future, you don't have to stay outside in this kind of weather. If you get sick, who will protect me?"

……

"I wanted to wake you up, but Brother Qixuan didn't bother you when he told you to take a good rest." Zhang Xuanyi could tell that Yang Qihan, who had just woken up, was not as talkative as he had seen before.

"It's okay, I'll go out later?"

"Yes. There is a sea of ​​plum blossoms near the manor, which was planted by a gardener a few years ago. Some time ago, it was bought by a wealthy family in Chang'an. That family modified the sea of ​​plum blossoms a little, and now it has become a garden. After lunch, we'll go and have a look." As the host, Zhang Xuanyi naturally wanted to arrange the whereabouts of several people properly.

"Plum blossoms have always only grown in one Jiangnan Road, and they are very rare in Chang'an."

"It is said that the gardener is from Jiangnan Road, and he has loved plum blossoms since he was a child."

"That's how it is. Sylphy, can you come in and out of the garden at will?" No matter what kind of flowers, if it's just one or two plants, Yang Qihan doesn't have much interest, but when it comes to a whole lot, that kind of scenery is what she likes the most . "That's natural, but the owner of the garden also said that anyone entering the garden is not allowed to make too much noise."

"It's natural."

That Jiayuanzi was only a few steps away from Zhang Xuanyi's manor, so the three of them made up their minds and decided to walk there.Fortunately, someone in the village had cleared the snow. When the three of them set off, it was much more convenient. "After a while, people from each village will start clearing the snow on the road so that passers-by can walk."

"Xuanyi, what are you looking for?" When the three of them were walking side by side, Yang Qihan noticed that Zhang Xuanyi was looking around for something. "Of course I'm looking to see who will come to the garden to enjoy the plum blossoms."

"Most of the people who can come out to enjoy the plum blossoms at this time are wealthy and idle people in Chang'an. If you want to see it, you will know when it arrives."

"..." Speaking of it now, they are rich and idle people.

It wasn't too early when the three of them went to the garden, but when they reached the gate of the garden, there were already seven or eight carriages parked there, "It seems that someone has already entered."

"That's not the main thing. You turn around and look behind. There are still a few carriages. The plum blossoms are also coming out in groups. Maybe the whole family is here."

"Han'er, as long as they don't hinder us, it doesn't matter what they do." Yang Qixuan quickly interrupted Yang Qihan's next words, for fear that Yang Qihan would say something thorny, "Now we are here too, Let's go first."

The garden is called Tanmei Garden, and four Xiaosi are guarding the gate.When the three of Zhang Xuanyi were about to enter, they reached out and stopped them.

Just as Yang Qihan was wondering, he saw Zhang Xuanyi took out a greeting card from his sleeve, and after Xiao Si read it, he respectfully invited the three of them in.

"Tanmei Garden is open as you like, but the owner thinks that everyone should not be allowed in. It doesn't matter if ordinary people from rich families come in, but it would be bad if a hooligan comes in and accidentally hurts someone, so I came up with this idea." way."

"When was this invitation prepared? I never heard you mention it."

"Of course it was some time ago when I suddenly wanted to go out for an outing. Of course I have to think of a fun place to invite the two of you."

The three of them entered the garden, and after passing through the corridor, they saw all the rich and noble people who came to admire the plum blossoms. "Sure enough, as Qi Han said, it's all the family who come out for a walk."

"During the year, this is the only time when I have more free time. If I am an official in the court, I am afraid that I will not be able to come out for a while. Now I am afraid that I will just accompany the elders at home to have a look. Let's go for a walk , there are fewer people there, and the scenery must be different.” Yang Qihan’s remarks naturally meant that he wanted to go to a place where no one was there, after all, it would not be crowded and would not spoil the interest of enjoying plum blossoms. "It's okay, it's just that we walked a long way in the snow. We should drink a cup of ginger tea first. The owner of this garden is also considerate. He prepared ginger tea for the guests. Let's drink some to warm up first." good."

"it is good."

The place where ginger tea is served in Tanmei Garden is in the lobby, which is also the time when the number of people is the largest.After all, the cold in the morning is at its heaviest, and everyone needs a sip of ginger tea to drive away the cold.

The servants in the garden also served the nobles who came to admire the plums tremblingly. Not long after Zhang Xuanyi and the three found a vacant seat, a maid came forward to make tea and water for them. "Three guests, this is ginger tea specially prepared by the host, please take it slowly."

"Okay. Can I enter the backyard to watch after drinking this cup of ginger tea?"

"It's true, Mr. Hui."

After the maid answered Yang Qihan's question, she went on. When Zhang Xuanyi spoke, Yang Qihan started to drink ginger tea. "Qi Han, you were fascinated by watching others just now. What's the matter? Could it be that you fell in love with him."

Facing Zhang Xuanyi's teasing eyes, Yang Qihan didn't intend to leave him any escape route. "What nonsense are you talking about. Although I'm sixteen, it's not like you don't refuse anyone. Besides, I have a marriage contract with the princess. There is a reason to hang out at will. I really treat me like a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and play. I But I was wronged. But you, there are several concubines in the room, you should pay more attention in the future." Zhang Xuanyi just wanted to make fun of Zhang Qihan, but unexpectedly, Zhang Qihan made a joke As soon as he spoke, he even blushed.

"Xuan Yi, don't talk nonsense about this in the future, if the prince finds out, he will be angry." Yang Qixuan agreed with Yang Qihan, "Han'er, you too, don't criticize Xuanyi like this in the public .”
