Li Yuan squatted on the ground, looking at the tomatoes that had just grown over a foot high on the ground with interest, and asked curiously.
"This is a vegetable that comes from tens of thousands of miles away. Of course, if you want, you can eat it as a fruit. It is sour and sweet, has a good taste, and is nutritious. I call it a tomato..."
Wang Zi'an said, glancing at Su Feier, who was already looking excited, and said half-jokingly.
"Of course, you can also call it Zhu Guo - anyway, Su, hey, hey, Miss Su Su, what are you doing-"
Before he could say the word Zhu Guo, Su Feier rushed over with a whoosh, startling Ouyang Xun and Li Yuan who were squatting in front of the tomatoes.
"Miss Susu, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive -"
At this time, I felt a little relieved when I saw that Su Feier was just guarding Tomato with a serious expression and did not take any other drastic actions.
However, I still couldn't help but feel a toothache. Auntie, I was just joking.
Seeing Su Feier's reaction, several other people couldn't help but look suspicious.
Could this really be the legendary Zhu Guo?
"Young Master Wang, have you really successfully cultivated the red fruit?"
Su Feier's eyes flashed with excitement.
Sure enough, the master is still very good at predicting things. This hateful pretty boy might really be a descendant of the Immortal family.
Wang Zi'an couldn't laugh or cry.
"If you insist on calling this thing Zhu Guo, then it's a success, but -"
Before he finished speaking, Su Feier had disappeared with a whoosh.
Although she had come in more than once and had seen tomato and potato seedlings before, this was the first time she knew that these strange plants in front of her were the red fruits that Master had longed for.
He has grown so big!
Wang Zi’an:……
Are you capable of qinggong?
Well, that’s pretty amazing!
During this period of time, he actually took this girl Su Feier around every day, with the intention of secretly flirting with him. However, this girl always kept a distance from him and refused to follow his words to accompany him to brag. So far, he has not Talking about it, it didn't even touch the topic.
This is very convenient.
"Who on earth is this girl? She's so handsome and has great body-lighting skills——"
Seeing Su Feier suddenly go away, Hongfu Nu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and asked.
"Have you ever heard of Yingxiang Temple?"
Wang Zi'an asked with a smile.
Yingxiang Temple is now considered a familiar event in Chang'an City recently.
Firstly, the Yingxian Temple was originally rebuilt from the former residence of King You, and is not small in scale. Secondly, the three words "Yingxian Temple" were inscribed by His Majesty himself, and the Taoist temple was built by His Majesty himself. It was handed down.
In the meantime, His Majesty even personally inspected the progress of the reconstruction, and he paid extraordinary attention to it.
Many people are very curious about the owner of Yingxiang Temple who has never shown up. Many people are speculating on the identity of the mysterious temple owner, and are also curious about how this mysterious temple owner used his body to bewitch His Majesty.
Because His Majesty seems to be unfriendly to these outsiders recently. It is said that the eminent monk from Tianzhu who claims to have lived for more than two hundred years has been rejected.
Comparing the two items, this matter of Yingxiangguan becomes particularly eye-catching.
Therefore, when Wang Zi'an asked, everyone was still impressed.
Even Li Yuan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Why, is that Yingxiang Temple related to the little girl just now?"
Although Su Feier always wore a Taoist robe and held a long sword regardless of the occasion, others did not really think of her as a Taoist nun at first.
Because in the Tang Dynasty, many people of some status, regardless of men or women, liked to wear Taoist robes. These robes were more comfortable than ordinary clothes, and after wearing them, they also had the blessing of a sense of seclusion, making them look like an outsider. Similar.
What's more, she is still such a young and beautiful girl.
"Well, Yingxiang Temple was specially built by His Majesty for their master and disciple-"
As soon as he said this, Li Yuan suddenly showed a look of realization on his face.
"I see - but that girl Su Su is indeed quite pretty..."
As soon as Li Yuan said this, many people in the greenhouse looked strangely.
Forget it, but it's really not easy to interfere in such a private matter that cannot be discussed by the emperor.
Therefore, even Hong Fu Nu kept silent.
It is estimated that, in all likelihood, that girl Su Su is the woman raised by His Majesty here in Zian. No wonder His Majesty keeps running to Chang'an Marquis recently. I see...
Wang Zi’an:……
These are some magical ideas.
However, there is no way to explain this kind of thing.
To explain is tantamount to quibbling.
Several people returned their eyes to the tomatoes and looked around them.
"Sir, do you think this red fruit comes from tens of thousands of miles away?"
Li Chengqian couldn't help but ask.
He did not dare to call him brother-in-law when outsiders were around. After all, his father had not officially announced the marriage between Princess Yuzhang and Wang Zi'an.
Wang Zi'an glanced at him and smiled.
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet been able to see the world map.
"Yes, its place of origin is tens of thousands of miles away. I never thought that I could see such a thing in my lifetime. Speaking of which, I have to thank several seniors of Su Su's sect-"
Wang Zi'an's words were not polite.
If he hadn't met Su Feier's master and disciples by accident, he would never have seen this kind of stuff that he almost got tired of in his previous life.
Several people were talking when they suddenly saw Qing Xuanzi and Su Feier, supporting Yun Xuzi, crossing the courtyard gate and walking quickly towards them.
"Marquis Chang'an, you really cultivated the red fruit——"
Yun Xuzi's beard trembled with excitement. As soon as he saw Wang Zi'an, he couldn't help but rush towards him and ask.
Looking at this old Taoist with sparse beard and hair, and most of his teeth missing, Wang Zian couldn't help but sigh in his heart and felt a little emotional.
He didn't explain immediately, but stepped aside to get out of the way.
"Taoist Priest, please look -"
As soon as Yun Xuzi's eyes fell on the tomato plant, he couldn't help but tremble. He struggled to push away the two apprentices who were supporting him, and walked over with a staggering step.
Everyone, including Li Yuan, subconsciously made way for him.
"That's it, that's it—"
Yun Xuzi stretched out his dry palm and gently stroked the tomato plant.
"This is Zhu Guo. Two senior brothers were killed back then, and more than a dozen people were injured. I didn't expect to see this fairy grass again after two years..."
Looking at the old Taoist priest with tears in his eyes, Wang Zi'an couldn't bear to tell him that this thing was not the legendary Zhu Guo in Taoism at all.
"If you like it, after next spring, I can help you transplant it to Yingxiang Temple. For those of your disciples who have lost their lives because of this, you can go back and report their identity information, and I will ask someone to erect monuments and biographies for them. You They can also be enshrined in the Yingxiang Temple, so that they can enjoy the incense offered by the people of the Tang Dynasty for generations..."
Wang Zi'an sighed with some emotion.
Although these people did not go there to obtain high-yielding food crops such as potatoes, they did bring back incredible wonders for this era.
A few years later, everyone who saved potatoes from starving to death must be grateful for their kindness.
Hearing what Wang Zi'an said, Yun Xuzi couldn't help but suddenly turned around and stared at Wang Zi'an without blinking.
Wang Zi'an nodded solemnly to him.
"Don't worry, I believe His Majesty will agree, and probably the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will also agree -"
Yun Xuzi stood up tremblingly and bowed deeply to Prince An.
"On behalf of the whole family, Pindao, I would like to thank the Marquis of Chang'an for your great kindness. As long as there is a destiny in the future, I, as a member of the Changbai Mountains, will do my best—"
Wang Zi'an smiled and helped the old Taoist priest up.
"You are too kind, you deserve this..."
With that said, Wang Zi'an smiled and introduced Yun Xuzi's identity to Li Yuan, Li Jing and others.
Although Tudou didn't say anything, when they heard that these "Red Fruits" in front of them were brought back from overseas tens of thousands of miles away by the old Taoist Master with more than a dozen lives from his disciples, they couldn't help but feel awe-struck. Respectfully.
In the greenhouse, it was as warm as spring. After a while, everyone took off their heavy coats.
Yun Xuzi was a scholar from outside the country. At this time, he saw that the "Zhu Guo" had grown up smoothly, and he also learned from his precious apprentice that the ginseng fruits planted in the farm were also growing well.
But now, it is heavily guarded there, making it difficult for ordinary people to get in.
After getting Wang Zi'an's repeated assurance that a batch would be given to him after the spring harvest, he felt even more at ease.
Went away satisfied.
Although the Marquis of Chang'an keeps saying what kind of potato it is, does the name matter?
unimportant!
If the ginseng fruit wasn't a rare treasure in the world, would the imperial court be so aggressive and send heavy troops to guard it?
When we are stupid——
No, I have to quickly tell my stupid apprentice later to take action quickly and capture the Marquis of Chang'an as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.
As soon as Yun Xuzi left, Li Yuan and the others couldn't help it anymore.
"You also planted ginseng fruits?"
Wang Zi’an:……
Looking at Li Yuan's shocked look, Wang Zi'an replied angrily.
"Ginseng fruit is nothing, it is much more precious than ginseng fruit——"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
There is a manor in the east of the city, which is heavily guarded and heavily guarded. Naturally, they have heard of it.
Today I finally found out what happened.
Growing ginseng fruit!
Seeing everyone staring at him dumbfounded, there was a shocked expression in their eyes.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help crying or laughing.
"What, do you really believe it? I was just joking, how could there be such a thing as ginseng fruit in this world-"
Li Yuan glared at him angrily.
"You brat, look at me, do I look like a fool? If not for the ginseng fruit, would His Majesty be so aggressive and send so many people to guard me?"
Wang Zi’an:……
Ah, this——
The logic is rigorous and flawless, but I have nothing to say.
Forget it, he was too lazy to dwell on it. Anyway, the potatoes would be harvested soon, and everything would naturally come to light by then.
At this moment, he suddenly saw Wang Meng trotting over and standing at the door. Instead of coming in, he waved to himself. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and walked in with some confusion.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu Guogong and his son are here to visit. They are already waiting in the front hall - but I think Wu Guogong seems to have some bad intentions..."
"Wu Guogong? Which Wu Guogong?"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be stunned subconsciously, and couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Wang Meng thought that his Marquis was deliberately trying to embarrass Duke Wu.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately became energetic.
"Understood, little one, just tell them to get out of here - the Taiyuan Wang family doesn't even dare to be arrogant in front of our Lord Marquis, Yu Chigong is nothing -"
When Wang Zi'an heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he felt dizzy.
You know what the heck!
That's Yuchi Jingde!
One of the door gods alongside Qin Shubao.
Although there was a little unhappiness because Yuchi Baolin came to ask for his pair of drums, urns and golden hammers last time, he didn't want to just chase them away.
Besides, it would be a pity not to see the living door god.
But there is no need to just leave Li Yuan and Li Jing alone and go to receive him specially.
We are not familiar with each other, so it’s a little unpleasant.
"return--"
Wang Meng stopped immediately, nodded and leaned over again.
"Go, just say that I have distinguished guests here. It's not convenient to welcome them from far away. Please invite them to come and talk..."
Wang Meng turned around and went to deliver the message.
lobby.
Seeing that Wang Zi'an didn't come out to receive him for a long time, Yuchi Jingde's already a little angry started to rise.
Since the Xuanwumen Incident, Yuchi Jingde and Changsun Wuji ranked first in terms of merit.
Not only did he receive a large number of rewards and win the favor of Li Shimin, but all officials in the government and the public, including civil and military officials, showed courtesy to him when they saw him.
Unexpectedly, a newly promoted young prince would dare to treat me so lightly today. It is really intolerable! At the moment when he was about to run away, Wang Meng stepped in with a sign of disapproval.
"Mr. Wu Guo, my Lord has said that it is inconvenient to welcome you from far away, so please come to the back garden to have a chat——"
When Yuchi Jingde heard this, he became furious.
Let yourself go to the back garden to meet him?
Isn't this inconvenient to welcome yourself?
This is obviously looking down on yourself!
"Humph, you bastard is so rude, how dare you treat me so lightly - take me to see him! Let me see what he is capable of, how dare he look down on me, Yuchi Jingde!"
Seeing his father go berserk, Yuchi Baolin also looked helpless.
At the same time, there was also a faint dissatisfaction in my heart. This Chang'an Marquis was so crazy that he didn't even look down on his father and asked his father to teach him a lesson.
However, my father's attacks were never serious. What if he accidentally killed him?
Yuchi Jingde walked vigorously in front, while Yuchi Baolin trotted behind with a grimace and worry.
"Prince An, you and my father-in-law, get out—"
Seeing the back garden approaching, Yuchi Jingde could no longer hold back the anger in his heart and shouted loudly.
The sound is like thunder.
Several people in the greenhouse looked up in shock.
Li Yuan and Li Jing, who were relatively familiar with Yuchi Jingde, couldn't help but frown.
Yuchi Jingde?
How did this person get here?
And it sounds like the person who came here is evil.
"Zian, how about I help you go out and take a look..."
Li Jing couldn't help but propose.
It was not convenient for Li Yuan to come forward. As Prince An's new brother-in-law, he could only go and see the situation by himself.
