The heavy rain poured down the sky like a sea tide, and the fine electric light with the tragic bright white leaped and stirred in the deep night. Amidst the rumbling thunder, the plants and trees in the back garden of Xiangfu swayed like crazy. The ground was shaking non-stop, as if to turn the whole garden upside down.

"Master, Master..."

The little servant Bailing stumbled behind Louzhi, the umbrella in his hand was torn to pieces by the slanting cold wind, the hoarse wind, rain, thunder and lightning completely drowned out his cries, he was startled, anxious and frightened, unable to roll away Get to the front to stop your little master who is bewildered.

When Lou Zhi rushed to the edge of the flower garden, his whole body was already soaked, the heavy rain blocked his sight, and he could only see the scene in front of him clearly through the densely falling electric lights.

The peony grew to a height of five feet at some point. The huge clusters of petals were as big as a dome, and they kept falling in the wind and rain. In such a devastation, she looked extremely weak, like a young girl's neck being strangled, helplessly dying.

Lou Zhi was so distressed that he immediately took off his outer robe to cover the peony. At this moment, a purple thunderbolt suddenly struck down and exploded, causing golden light to splash in front of his eyes. Louzhi even had an illusion that the thunder and lightning It seemed as if he was striking directly at Peony, because he was standing in the way, the angry thunder made a sharp turn, and struck a crabapple tree closest to him. The tree caught fire in an instant, and was then extinguished by the pouring rain. , billowing white smoke, whistling.

"My God!" Bai Ling was almost going crazy, and while taking off his wet clothes to cover Lou Zhi, he shouted, "Master, go back to the house, and leave it to me!"

With Bai Ling covering his head with his outer robe, Lou Zhi squatted down. The smell of soil mixed with grass and trees came to his nostrils, and there seemed to be a vague smell of blood in the middle.

The stems and leaves of the peony were hanging down feebly. Lou Zhi untied the hairband on his head and tied up the stems. Looking at the fallen petals all over the floor, he sighed in pity. There were blood-red ditches. At first glance, it was shocking, but it looked like blood was flowing all over the ground.

"If you were a human being," Lou Zhi hugged Peony in his arms distressedly, and murmured, "This hurts so much."

The thunderstorm came suddenly and went away eagerly. The gardeners quickly came to take over Louzhi's work, transplanted the peonies into a large flowerpot, trimmed the leaves and branches, took care of it, and finally put the flowerpot back on the ground. Putting it in front of the window from upstairs to the bedroom, the young master was willing to obediently go back to the room.

"Master, you scared the little one to death!" Bai Ling waited on her young master to take a bath and change clothes, and could not help complaining while wiping Lou Zhi's wet long hair, "No matter how beautiful a flower is, it is still a dead thing, you Your body is so precious, it would not be worth it if you got sick because of it, fortunately, the old lady was not alarmed..."

"Who says flowers are dead?" Lou Zhi sat in front of the window, holding a large bowl in his hands, which was full of ginger soup. He had just taken a bath, and the ginger soup was rolling again, making him as white as jade. His face was flushed with smoke, and he could see through the window the slim peonies outside, swaying gently with the breeze in the air after the new rain, feeling very satisfied, "Flowers also have life, they It will hurt, and it will also be happy, you see, little peony is performing a dance for me, she is thanking me!"

Bai Ling couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Young master, the master said that you won't be allowed to read those weird books!"

"Hey!" Lou Zhi turned around and lightly kicked Bai Ling's calf, "You kid, you actually taught me a lesson by beating around the bush!"

"You say a flower is dancing, but don't you mean she has become a spirit?"

"It would be great to be able to become a spirit!" Lou Zhi drank the ginger soup in the bowl, and smiled teasingly at Bai Ling, "If this peony can become a spirit, I will hire her to be your housekeeper. Young Mistress!"

Bai Ling also giggled: "The young master born by the young mistress is a flower or a person?"

Lou Zhi laughed loudly: "This young master is also very curious!"

He stretched out his hand out of the window, and easily touched the petals of the peony, which became brighter after being washed by water. He scratched it with his fingers, and asked with a playful smile, "Little Peony, will you give birth to a flower or a human?"

There was the rustling sound of branches and leaves outside the window, as if responding to Lou Zhi's words.

At the Qionghua Banquet, the Holy Majesty really bestowed a marriage on Lou Zhi, and appointed him as his son-in-law. At the same time, he appointed Lou Zhi as a doctor from the sixth-rank household department.

In those years, there was a flood in the south, and Lingnan was seriously affected. Several cities were flooded and countless people were displaced.

"Little Peony, this young master is going on a long journey, but unfortunately you can't go with me," Lou Zhi stood outside the window, carrying a water bottle, muttering to himself while watering Peony, "This long trip, At least one month, as many as three months, will you miss me?"

Bai Ling, who was packing Louzhi's luggage, said with a smile: "Young Master, if you really don't want to part with it, you can take the peonies with you and put them in the carriage..."

Lou Zhi's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

Bailing couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you serious, my lord? We didn't know what it was like this way. I heard that the people over there were so hungry that they ate grass roots and bark. If I saw your flowers, I'm afraid I'd die." Even the flower mud was swallowed up!"

What Bailing said is really not exaggerating. This peony from Louzhi is rare in the world. The stem is several inches high and the leaves are as big as a cover. Even the incense was omitted in the house, the fragrance of flowers lingers long and refreshingly during the day, and can help you sleep at night, it is so wonderful, Bai Ling smells the sweet fragrance and wants to pick off a petal to taste it.

It was not in vain that Lou Zhi stayed there like pearls and treasures, and did not even allow others to touch the petals and leaves that had been replaced. Instead, he picked them up with his own hands, washed them and dried them, and put them one by one in his favorite book.

A figure appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard, with a winding belt, elegant and dignified. Lou Zhi saw his mother at a glance, put down the water bottle, straightened his clothes, and went forward to support Mrs. Lou: "Mother."

"I'm messing with your flowers and plants again." Mrs. Lou saw that Lou Zhi's body was still splashed with flower mud, and she nodded reproachfully on his forehead, "Let the servants handle that thing, what does it look like if you do it yourself!"

"It's good for my son to have something to eat like this," Lou Zhi said with a smile, "Young lady, the prime minister, never leaves her hand with a carving knife all day long. My son's interest in playing with flowers is the same as your interest in carving!"

Mrs. Lou smiled and followed him into the house: "Is everything packed? When are you going to leave?"

"Leave tomorrow."

Lou Zhi helped his mother to sit down on the couch by the window. Mrs. Lou was forty years old, but she looked like twenty. Lou Zhi had indeed inherited her good looks. The mother and son sitting next to each other looked like Siblings are normal.

Mrs. Lou handed him a roll of blueprints:

"This is the drawing of the Princess Mansion sent by the Ministry of Industry today. I wonder if there is anything that needs to be modified or added. Take a look."

Lou Zhi married a princess, and after the wedding, he will live in the princess mansion. He took the blueprint and looked at it casually:

"It's all good, as long as there is a place for me to grow flowers, I won't pick anything else."

"That's exactly what I want to tell you," Mrs. Lou hurriedly said, "Princess Zhaoyang has asthma, especially allergic to pollen, so no more flowers and trees can be planted in the mansion. Your flowers can no longer be transplanted!"

Lou Zhi immediately frowned: "It's such a big princess mansion, I just need to draw a small garden. It's not convenient for the princess to get close to the flowers. Just don't go there. Isn't there an imperial garden in the palace! I didn't even see the emperor. The garden has been leveled!"

Mrs. Lou slapped Zhi's hand when she came downstairs: "You can't stop talking! The Royal Garden is the Royal Garden. In the Princess Mansion, the princess is naturally the most important thing in everything."

What a glorious and glorious Princess Shang is in the eyes of others, but Madam Lou is more worried than happy. I heard that the princess is also arrogant, so when two people are together, one of them has to make concessions to get along with each other. She said earnestly, "Although you are a son-in-law, you are also a minister. Don't hold back your temper. Princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Be tolerant in everything. Don't fight her..."

Lou Zhi closed the blueprint impatiently, although he didn't speak, the expression on his face was very ugly.

It was so difficult to wait for Mrs. Lou to say a lot before leaving. Lou Zhi threw down the blueprint angrily:

"Marrying a princess is such a hassle, I knew I should have rejected it at the Qionghua banquet!"

Bai Ling was taken aback: "Master! You can't say that!"

"I'm still at home? I can't say that, or can I say that?"

There is a reason for Lou Zhi's temperament. Everyone knows that he is addicted to flowers. The emperor joked about this when he was appointed to be a flower lover. Otherwise, given his talent, he should be the number one scholar.

This blueprint is clearly Princess Zhaoyang's disarming power. It is not uncommon for the royal in-laws to suppress and guard against each other. The princess wants to tell him that from now on, the princess's mansion will respect her. she!Planting flowers and grass is not allowed in the princess' mansion, and it is clearly a warning to him not to mess with flowers and grass. The two have not yet married, and the grievances are so deep, what does this son-in-law have to do!

The weather in Lou Zhi was so bad that he didn't even eat food, and he fell asleep on the couch in the afternoon. In a trance, it seemed that there was a Taoist figure standing beside his bed, watching him intently, but Lou Zhi didn't care about anything. I don't know the face of that person, but I can only vaguely feel that his eyes are extremely deep, implying thousands of words.

"Who are you?" Lou Zhi asked.

"I am the Lord of Shaohua," the man's voice was gentle and pleasant. In the quiet room, there was an exciting charm. He lowered his body, and he could only feel the bursts of elegant fragrance lingering around him, so familiar. He was smoky and drunk, "I've been rescued by you several times, I'm grateful, what wish do you want to achieve?"

"Wish?" The man's breath was so far away, the softness in his words revealed a bit of sadness, his mind went blank, and he subconsciously remembered that he was still angry before going to bed, so he said dizzily, "I I don't want to marry a princess, I don't want to marry a princess..."

The man sighed softly, as if he said something again, but Lou Zhi didn't hear it again, and fell into a deeper sleep.

On the second day, Lou Zhi traveled southward with the relief team, and it was seven days after he entered the border of Lingnan.

The team went to Ganluo Mountain, which was the highest mountain in Lingnan. The mountain road was steep and there was a pontoon bridge connecting the two peaks. In the middle of the night, there is a dull thunder rolling, and a thunderstorm is about to come again.

"Lord Liu," Lou Zhi rode his horse to the side of the Minister of the Household Department, this is the highest peak on his head, and this person is also in charge of disaster relief, "It's going to rain, why don't you camp here first, and then go on your way after the heavy rain Not too late."

Mr. Liu looked at the sky, shook his head and said: "No, we are between two peaks, and the top of the mountain is full of gravel. If we are washed down, we will not be able to hide! It is better to speed up and cross the pontoon bridge. The rain may not fall for a while, so hurry up!"

Lou Zhi had an ominous premonition in his heart, but what Master Liu said was also reasonable, so he had to assist Master Liu to arrange a team to cross the bridge. It was easy for people, but it was difficult for a carriage, not to mention that the cart was still loaded with heavy silver, which made the pontoon creak and creak. As if to die.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Lou Zhi kept urging loudly, the thunder became louder and louder, and the horses under the seats were snorting irritably. Seeing all the carriages pass the pontoon bridge, Lou Zhi was certain that at this moment, soybean-sized raindrops crackled After getting down, he hurriedly drove his horse onto the pontoon bridge, glanced down inadvertently, and immediately became dizzy, and cold sweat covered his back.

It wasn't until Lou Zhi grew up that he realized that he was originally afraid of heights!

"Lord Lou, come here!" Master Liu had already crossed the bridge first, and stood there waving to him.

The guard behind him was also urging: "Master Lou, hurry up!"

Under the pontoon bridge is a cliff of Baizhang, the rolling river is turbid and turbulent, the head is pouring rain, lightning and thunder, and the people in front and behind are yelling and urging him. As soon as he softened, he fell straight off the horse's back——

"Master Lou!!!"

Shame!

At the moment when Lou Zhi closed his eyes, he thought in shame that he, who was so famous in his first life, would actually leave the stage in such a way, no one would provoke anyone, and he would just fall off the Baizhang cliff.

I don't know how the young masters of the aristocratic families will laugh at him when the news spreads back to the capital?And his parents, how sad should they be?And his little Peony, who will take care of her in the future, the only good thing is that he doesn't have to marry that unruly and arrogant princess...

----

Lou Zhi woke up to the sound of gurgling water. He opened his eyes and found himself in an exquisite and elegant room with bright lights but no one else.

Recalling the scene of falling off the pontoon bridge, Lou Zhi suddenly got up, looked down, he was wearing a snow-white tunic, the sleeves were rolled up, and there were many uneven scars on his arms, because of the movement of his standing up, the strong medicinal fragrance permeated the air After a while, many places on his body began to ache, but this pain made Lou Zhi happy, he is not dead!

Lou Zhi lifted the quilt, picked up the clothes hanging by the bed, put them on, and walked out of the room.

This is a rather spacious manor with extremely beautiful scenery, carved galleries and painted buildings. There is a small pool under the corridor. It does not know where the running water is drawn. It makes a clear sound, which is exactly the sound of water that Lou Zhi heard before.

There are many wing rooms in the manor, and Lou Zhi lived in the most central one in the courtyard. However, he searched all the way, but he didn't see half of the domestic servants, and he didn't know who the owner was. How could he take care of such a large place by himself? Be organized.

The familiar fragrance of flowers comes with the breeze. Walk two steps quickly from the top of the building, and look down the steps along the railing of the verandah. The clusters of peonies are as bright as clouds, reflecting the faint candlelight, which is indescribably elegant.

It turned out that the owner of this place also loves peonies. Lou Zhi was overjoyed, and walked along the corridor steps until he reached the northernmost room, and found that the door there was half-closed. He stood in front of the door and coughed softly: " Is there anyone here?"

"Are you awake?" A light and gentle voice sounded, and a person turned out from behind the screen. Lou Zhi raised his head and was stunned.

The young man in front of him was dressed in silk brocade clothes, with two strands of black hair hanging down his shoulders, his body was like a willow, his skin was as white as snow, and his appearance was like a crown of jade. He was holding a blooming peony in his hand. The red flowers and beautiful faces complemented each other, as beautiful as a painting.

Lou Zhi was speechless for a long time, and the young man's dark eyes gradually turned suspicious: "Why don't you speak?"

Lou Zhi snapped back to his senses, unable to conceal the astonishment on his face, he arched his hands and said with a smile:

"I was going down to the tower in the capital. I accidentally fell off the cliff in Ganluo Mountain a few days ago. It was my benefactor who saved me? May I ask your benefactor's name? I can't repay you for saving my life. If my benefactor has a request in the future, Louzhi will not hesitate to do so."

The boy shook his head: "You don't need to call me benefactor, and you don't need to repay me. Now that you're awake, go."

Lou Zhi was taken aback, he never thought that the young man would drive him away immediately, and he was at a loss: "But I don't know your name yet..."

The young man tilted his head, his expression was innocent like a child, he pursed his lips, as if his name was difficult to say, slightly annoyed, he closed the door casually, and repeated a sentence from inside the door: "Let's go, let's go."

It was clear that he was chasing away guests, but the voice was extremely gentle. Lou Zhi was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a while, he decided to go to business first, and then come back to thank people. Just two steps away, Lou Zhi turned around again. Kindly knock on the door:

"Engong, beautiful Engong! Where is this place? I want to go to Yue'an City...then how should I go?"
