Chapter 337: On the Three-Life Stone
Xinbao was so happy that he ran out without even washing his face.
From the upstairs, I could see that the yard was filled with flowers, at least a dozen or twenty kinds. Some were very big, as big as small trees. The flowerpots were so big that it probably took four people to carry them, but there were also very small ones that could be held in the hands.
Xinbao shouted in surprise: "Wow!!"
Xiao Tai came over quickly and opened his hands. Xinbao jumped into his big hands as if he knew the way, then struggled to the ground to look at the flowers.
Although she was talking about rare plants, they all fall into the category of "flowers" and look quite beautiful. Come to think of it, when others give gifts to the prime minister, they can't just pick some grass and give it to him.
She immediately saw that one of the pots was a columbine flower!! There was also a golden camellia next to it!
Both of these plants are rare enough to be called the giant pandas of the plant world!
The dove flower has not bloomed yet. When it blooms, the flower will be white and the petals will be like a dove spreading its wings, very stretched and beautiful.
Camellia chrysantha is also called Nanshan tea. When it blooms, its petals are golden, crystal clear and glossy, just like they are carved from gems. It is extremely beautiful and is called the Queen of Tea by later generations.
But it’s not open yet.
Xinbao was overjoyed and squatted down to look at this and that carefully.
It took her a while to realize that the big stone in her mind was still bright, and several plants had become large and clear. In addition to the pigeon flowers and golden camellia, there were actually two kinds of flowers that she did not recognize.
Xinbao was very surprised. Then she followed the guidance of the stone and found the two flowers. She looked at them carefully for a long time and confirmed that she did not recognize them.
It's not that she is really like a computer, remembering all the plants in the world and being able to accurately classify them, but the more precious and rare the plants are, the clearer she will remember them. Even if they are ordinary, she will at least have some impression of them, either the name or the appearance.
But she just didn't know or was not familiar with these two types.
She stood up and almost fell because she had been squatting for too long. A big hand reached out from behind and supported the back of her head.
Xinbao shook her two little arms randomly, using her strength to keep her balance. Then he came over and stood beside her, smiling, "Xinbao, you like flowers? Uncle will find some for you! Look at what he found, they are so ugly..."
Xinbao patted his big hands and said in a milky voice, "Stop making noise."
Xiao Tai: "..."
The tough guy who was as tall as the tree really didn't say a word.
Yan Shenjue saw something and asked the people sent by the Yuan family for a book. After checking, he found out that this kind of grass is called ground grass. It does not bloom, but after it grows, its leaves are like messy hair, in a bunch. They are yellow in the middle and then gradually turn green, just like flowers. It is very beautiful.
There is also a kind called Zanyoudou. It is said that when it blooms, the flowers are like many funnels clenched together in a large cluster. It is very special and beautiful, and the flowers are light golden yellow.
Xinbao took a deep breath, his eyes bright and dark.
She was so surprised! This was definitely a species unknown to later generations! Think about it, even the Qing Dynasty was founded in 1616, 300 to 400 years have passed since her time. During this period, many plants have become extinct, so it is not surprising to find plants that she did not know about!
So, she had to grow up quickly. Maybe, right next to her, on this Pagoda Mountain, there would be many, many plants that she didn’t know about, waiting for her to discover! ! She squatted in front of the scattered grass, lowered her eyes slightly, and looked at the blooming appearance of these flowers from the big rock.
The more she concentrated, the clearer and more vivid the image on the stone became, with flowing precious light and countless rays of light. Finally, as the image slowly retreated, the clouds even condensed into three faint seal characters: "Three Lives Stone".
Three-life stone? So this is the Three-life stone?
Xiao Tai was chattering beside him: "Xinbao likes flowers? Wait for uncle to find some for you! There are all kinds of beautiful flowers!"
"No," Xinbao said, "I like rare plants and trees."
Xiao Tai didn't understand what she meant: "Rare plants?"
Yan Shenjue explained, "Xinbao is naturally close to plants and likes medicine, so she has been studying plants all over the world, and finding out what is not in medical books and what has not been discovered by predecessors. For example, a few days ago, she found a medicine that is unknown to the world, called saffron. It was with this medicine that she cured Fourth Brother's leg, and later used it to treat Grandpa Lin and the officials of your mansion."
Xiao Tai suddenly realized: "Oh! I see!"
Tang Qingshan also said: "Xinbao is very talented in plants and trees, but she is young and can't go far, so the Marquis will help her find it."
Xiao Tai nodded: "I didn't expect that old man Yuan is such a good person! I thought all scholars were bad, but when I saw a group of people wearing long gowns and pretending to be jealous, and the little looks they gave one by one, I felt that they were fake! Can't you just say what you want to say directly? It's not refreshing!"
While looking at Yan Shen Jue.
Yan Shenjue said: "Xinbao, come here, don't get too close to this fool who has lost his brother! You will become stupid!"
Xiao Tai: "..."
He grabbed Xinbao's clothes, brought him to his side, and looked at him defiantly.
Tuanzi was so tired, she just wanted to look at the flowers quietly for a while.
There was a sound of carriage outside, and then the second brother came in. As soon as he came in, he asked, "Wow! So many people?"
They were very close, but the second brother came back later than them because he had checked the list and attended a banquet.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao said: "Second brother!!"
She ran over quickly, hugged his legs, and pointed at Xiao Tai: "Guess who he is!!"
Xiao Tai walked over with a smile on his face: "Oh, this is my second nephew, he is handsome and talented, and you can tell at first glance that he is a scholar..."
Yan Shenjue had a look of laughter on his face.
Even Madam Lin couldn't help laughing, especially when she saw her second brother smiling politely and looking at her inquiringly. She remembered what Xiao Tai said, "Use the little eyes one by one," and she laughed out loud.
The second brother encountered a bunch of unreliable family members and could only bow and say: "Hello, uncle."
"Hahaha!" Xiao Tai patted his shoulder and said, "We are obviously family. How do you know I am your uncle?"
Second brother: “…”
He endured the pain in his shoulder and was too embarrassed to say that Uncle Zhang, Uncle Li, and his neighbor Uncle Wang were all uncles...
After a brief greeting, I let my second brother go upstairs to change his clothes first.
The second brother went upstairs and then remembered to ask: "Xiao Jue, how is it?"
Yan Shenjue received the letter halfway through his journey and said, "Same as you."
The second brother laughed twice: "Okay."
He went up first, and Xiao Tai asked, "How did my second nephew do in the exam?"
Xinbao said: "The first one in the case!! The most powerful one!!"
"What!!" Xiao Tai was surprised, "He actually got the first place in the exam! He must be the most powerful scholar in the whole county!!"
"No!" Xinbao said, "This time, it's the first place in the provincial examination! Second brother and Xiaoxian brother, both of them are the first place!"
"Wow!" Xiao Tai said, "Your second brother is awesome! Number one in a province!!"
The commander-in-chief completely forgot how many times he had seen the number one scholar in the country, the one who never even looked at him.
