The Cuju competition in the Song Dynasty was very different from that in the Tang Dynasty. The confrontation and collaboration were weakened, and more emphasis was placed on performance. Cai Wei asked people to change the new Juju, and replaced Naluoyan on the field. The game continued, and Naluoyan really played Cuju. He is extremely good at it, but he doesn't have as many fancy moves as Xu Wang and Zhao Li. His moves are simple and practical, just a word. His little romantic eyes seem to be bigger than the sea in his eyes. As long as the ball reaches him , a casual kick will pierce the hole.
However, this also greatly reduced his performance. Fang Jinshi stood aside and watched for a while. He felt bored and a little anxious, so he went to the hut and went directly to the back garden when he came back.
Just after lunch, Fang Jinshi was a little sleepy. He saw a stone bench behind the rockery, walked over and lay down, wanting to take a nap.
The back garden was quiet at this time. The waiters and servants had all gone to the front to watch the Cuju competition, and no one was in the back garden.
Not long after he lay down, he heard the sound of footsteps, followed by the sound of someone talking, and a man's voice said: "Miss Xi'er, wait here, I'll find someone right away."
A young woman replied: Don't keep me waiting too long, we will go back soon. The person before said: It must be very fast.
When Fang Jinshi heard that there was a girl here, he couldn't help but got up from the stone bench and poked his head out from the side of the rockery to see what the girl looked like. The girl named Xi'er was only ten years old and tall. , with a round face, big eyes, and a little baby fat. Although the clothes he wore were luxurious, they were obviously not his master's. Fang Jinshi had just seen such clothes among the servants serving the distinguished guests at the Cuju venue. He knew they were from Xi'er came from the palace and was a palace maid.
The man who spoke was a steward in the Prince Consort's Mansion. Fang Jinshi poked his head around, and the steward saw it. He waved to Fang Jinshi and said, "Come here."
Fang Jinshi had no choice but to come over. The manager looked at him and said: Are you the new gardener? Fang Jinshi answered: Yes.
The steward said: "Go to the back and find a basin of water and a hosta, and bring it to Miss Xi'er."
Fang Jin's stone buzzed loudly. He didn't know what a water hosta was. He wanted to ask, but he was afraid that it would be revealed that he had never been a gardener before, which would make it difficult to explain. He was still hesitating. , Xi'er said: After you take it, quickly send it to Chengyun Temple in the north of the city and tell Master Guanyun that Emperor Huanhuan will visit him in a few days.
The steward stood by and said with a smile: I'll make arrangements right away, please don't worry, Miss Xi'er. Xi'er nodded slightly, and then walked outside. The steward Xiang Jinshi said: "Go and do it quickly." He hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Xi'er.
Fang Jinshi stood there for a while, regretting why he had to look out out of curiosity. He wanted to find a gardener to ask what kind of flower and grass this hosta was, but the gardeners were all watching the Cuju competition. There was no one around for a while, and I was afraid that the steward would be impatient, so I had to go to the back garden to see the flowers and plants that looked like the hosta.
He vaguely remembered that the clerk told him this name when he was at the flower market, but he had no memory of what it looked like. When he was in trouble, a lean servant walked in outside the garden and looked at him. Fang Jinshi came over and said, "Have you found it yet? Manager Sun asked me to set off immediately and take you to Chengyun Temple." He had a riding crop slanted on his waist, and he was a coachman.
Fang Jinshi's eyes lit up, and he walked over and said with a smile: Big brother, where is the water hosta? My younger brother is new here and I don't know much. Can you tell me? The coachman rolled his eyes and said: How did I know? Come and find him quickly. Don't let me get punished if you miss something.
Seeing that the coachman was having trouble speaking, Fang Jinshi felt helpless and couldn't help but look at the door again, hoping that someone would come back at this time. The coachman urged: Hurry up, hurry up.
Seeing how anxious he was, Fang Jinshi looked around and saw a pot of small light blue flowers blooming in the distance. He felt that the name of this hosta was a bit graceful, and it should not be a tall flower. This light blue flower matched the With such a name, I don’t care whether it’s right or not. Fang Jinshi walked over and hugged the light blue flowers and plants. The coachman said coldly: Is it okay?
Fang Jinshi thought to himself: Even if it is wrong, the old monk Guanyun may not care. If someone else gives you a gift, who knows whether the gift is right or wrong? If you say something wrong again, just change it to the right one next time. Thinking of this, he felt even more at ease and said to the coachman: Okay, let's go.
