Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 2: Sword Eleven

The pond in Hualan Garden is cool in the heat of the afternoon, and the lotus is about to bloom, and the sparkling waves are shining in the upside-down withered lotus. Ji Ye stretched his legs, leaned against the shade under the stone bridge, peeled off the lotus pods in his hand, picked out the lotus heart and bit the fragrant lotus seeds, and opened the book in his hand comfortably. He is used to life in the East Palace. In a garden in Nuoda on the outskirts of the city, except for Zu Ling and the place where Young Master Yu and Young Master Chen lived, the other places seemed desolate. And there are only a few youths from aristocratic families in the imperial army who are in charge of guarding, and it is easy to desert.

Suddenly he felt a shadow cast on top of his head. Looking up, it was the child on the bridge who was waving his arms at him. Even though it was summer, his wrist was still wrapped with the fur of a white leopard.

"Asule?" Ji Ye didn't expect to meet this barbarian young master here.

"I... I went to Qingxinfang to go to the library to find some books to read," Lu Guichen explained. His face turned red involuntarily, and his heart was beating a small drum.

In fact, it took him a long time to find Ji Ye in the garden. In the afternoon, the two maids who served him went to tease the cat with Bai Liyu. palace wall. So he thought of the only friend in the East Palace. He didn't know if he and Ji Ye were friends. The answers were a little lazy.

"Jimo, has You Guerrilla bothered you recently?" Lu Guichen walked down the bridge and walked in front of Ji Ye.

"I don't see him often, I don't know what he is doing? The general was angry last time, maybe he was scared? But to be honest, there is no fight to fight, and it's quite boring," Ji Ye curled his lips, eyes only on the book , "Without Youyin, Fang Qizhao Peng Lianyun and the others only dared to yell."

"What book are you reading, Hime?"

Ji Ye revealed the cover of the book, the cover was a little fuzzy, and it was inscribed with the name "The Complete Story of the Shocking Dragon".

"What book is this?"

"You haven't read this book yet?" Ji Ye shook his head, "I've read it for the fifth time, but it's a rare good book, and it's much more interesting than "The Battle of the Four Governors."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's the story of Emperor Qiangwei. This book begins with Emperor Qiangwei's joining the army in Tianqi until he ascends the throne. Ah, I'm too lazy to read it. Where's yours?"

Lu Guichen flipped over the book in his hand embarrassingly. The title of the book was Master Lu's handsome handwriting - "Government Code". Ji Ye took it, turned it over like a gust of wind blowing paper, and raised his head with puzzled eyes.

"No interesting book," Lu Guichen became more and more embarrassed, "The homework left by Master Lu, I have to take the 'Tian Mo Chapter' exam tonight, I will go to the library to find two collections, hurry up Read and read, so as not to be blinded when you can’t answer.”

"What is this 'Tian Mo Pian' about?"

"It refers to how to measure the land, hand it over to the village for management, how to collect taxes, how many good years there are, how many bad years, how old people over the age can be exempted from taxes, and the land taxes of previous dynasties."

Jimo nodded: "So it's a book about farming."

The two have nothing to say anymore. Ji Ye was still seriously flipping through his "The Complete Story of the Startled Dragon". Lu Guichen thought that Ji Ye probably didn't have much time to take care of himself, so he thought it best to leave wisely. He stood there, hesitating to say goodbye to Ji Ye, but the book blocked Ji Ye's face.

"Aren't you looking for a book?" Ji Ye cast his gaze over the book and saw Lu Guichen looking at his book.

"Do you like to read it?" Ji Ye understood a little bit, and he generously handed over the few books on the side to Lu Guichen, "Then you take it back and read it, I have basically read the previous ones. .Don’t lose it, I have to take it back to the bookstore.”

"Field taxation varies with time and place. The rich get one out of four, and the poor get one out of seven. In a bad year, if the harvest is poor, and the output of the land is less than half, the tax can be exempted. There is no tax for five years of land reclamation. Because of the difficulty of farming, Yamada does not collect taxes, but has to pay the public grain of the village. The public grain is used for relief by widows and widows, and the officials send six of them from the four villages, so that they can all be supported."

Bailiyu's voice echoed in the hall, clearer and more excited. Master Lu's frown gradually loosened, and finally he nodded in satisfaction.

"Young Master Yu seems to have really worked **** the 'Tian Mo Pian', which is gratifying." Master Lu narrowed his eyes slightly, combed his beard, and suddenly stared again, "It's just that the two Feng The servants of the garden presented the lyrics and music that the young master made in his spare time. It was really chilling to read! They are full of obscene works and melodious sounds, and there is no such thing as "Eastern Palace Famous Jade Collection", which criticizes the appearance of women, and puts these A woman from a famous family has become a **** in a brothel!"

Bailiyu didn't dare to argue, so he could only mutter in a low voice.

"The young master is the heir of the princes of our celestial dynasty! What should be learned is the way of the emperor, with a heart far away from the mountains and rivers, how can there be room for the leisure of pollen and fat jade? These women were selected into the palace to serve the young master to study and live What does appearance matter? Gentleness and good looks are the key!" Master Lu gritted his teeth and was out of breath, "After such a long time, how can I meet the ancestors of the Baili family for generations?"

There was silence in the hall, and Bailiyu didn't dare to raise his head, knowing that if he raised his head, he would bump into the teacher's sad and angry old eyes.

A low laugh suddenly broke Master Lu's solemnity.

The master suddenly turned his head, staring at Lu Guichen behind him with a bull's eye. Only then did Lu Guichen wake up, he hurriedly looked away from the table, and looked at Master Lu respectfully.

"Young Master Chen, why are you laughing?" Lu Fuzi straightened his airs, his voice was calm and long, and he walked over slowly, his eyes slightly lowered and slanted on Lu Guichen's table, "What is this?" His expression suddenly changed Things changed, and he grabbed the book in front of Lu Guichen.

Lu Guichen looked at Master Lu in puzzlement, seeing that he was shaking like a shofar wind, and his gray and sparse beard was motionless without wind.

"This is the biography of Emperor Qiangwei, the great hero of your country," Lu Guichen lowered his head, "I just got it today. It's really a good book. I couldn't bear to let it go after reading it, so I brought it here. Forgive me, master."

"This, this, this...is this the history of our Dayin? !”

"Master, I don't want it, I asked a friend to borrow it..."

The door that Lu Fuzi slammed when he left was still trembling, Bai Liyu came up and held Lu Guichen's hand: "Today is thanks to you."

He ran out with a happy face, leaving only Lu Guichen sitting there alone, looking up at the falling shreds of paper.

Hime Ye walked along the palace wall with a spear in his arms. He is in charge of patrolling the two sides of Maple Garden tonight. He prefers to patrol, at least he doesn't have to stand at the gate of the palace like a log. He raised his head and suddenly saw the people on the palace wall.

"Hi!"

Lv Guichen was startled, he looked down and saw Ji Ye quietly climbing up from the wooden ladder.

"Is the young master staying up so late at night? What are you looking at here?" Ji Ye squeezed up and stood side by side with Lu Guichen on the top of the ladder.

The Guihong Pavilion where Lu Guichen lives and Bailiyu's two maple gardens are just a partition wall. You can see the opposite scene when you climb up the ladder. An elm tree just covers them, and no one can see them. Just separated by a wall, the two Fengyuan gardens were still lit with red gauze palace lanterns in the yard late at night, surrounded by servants and wives.

"I touch...it's Xiaosu," Bailiyu, who was blindfolded, grabbed a skirt corner, he grabbed the skirt corner and rushed to hug it, but it was empty.

"Wrong guess, wrong guess!" The girls giggled and clapped their hands.

"Don't lie to me, I remember the dress just now, it's clearly the shadow gauze on the outside of Xiao Su's skirt!" Bailiyu was still flashing left and right, following the girls' voices, But they all came to nothing.

"No! No!" The girls laughed even louder.

Bailiyu stopped moving and turned his head from side to side. He didn't move, and the girls didn't speak, they covered their mouths and moved slightly. Their feet were all plain silk shoes with soft soles, and they landed without the slightest sound. Bailiyu couldn't hear, so he could only move. The girls pushed each other, pushing their companions into Bailiyu's arms. They were light and nimble, holding back their laughter, and ran back lightly to take revenge on their female companions. In the end, the game finally turned into girls tickling each other, but everyone refused to make a sound, as if they would lose if they made a sound.

"What the **** are they playing?" Ji Ye became bored watching, and asked Lu Guichen with his chin in one hand.

"I'm not very clear," Lu Guichen shook his head, "If you get caught, you lose, right?"

"Just sweep your legs and stumble," Ji Ye nodded, and said with certainty, "I will definitely catch three or four!"

A girl suddenly couldn't help laughing. Bailiyu seized the opportunity, went up to hug her, and groped her body.

"It's Xiao Su, it's Xiao Su!" He said loudly, "This shadow gauze must be on the outside of Xiao Su's skirt."

"I'm here! Your Highness didn't catch me!" A round-faced girl shouted behind Bailiyu, as if she was the one called Xiaosu.

"Guess again, guess again, if you don't guess correctly, you won't kiss," the girls shouted again.

Bailiyu hesitated, he leaned over and sniffed the girl's neck lightly, the girl was itchy from his sniffing, her face flushed red, she almost couldn't help laughing, but she tried her best to hold it back.

"Don't laugh, don't laugh," the female companions still quarreled, "Don't deliberately lose."

"Is there someone who lost on purpose?" Ji Ye felt more and more bored, so he thought about it.

"I see!" Bai Liyu shouted loudly, "It's Liu Yuer, it's Liu Yuer! Liu Yuer and Xiao Su changed their skirts, but the scent won't change. This is Liu Yuer's body taste!"

He took off the veil on his head, and still hugged the girl in his arms: "Liu Yuer, you lose, you lose!"

"Your Highness guessed right, it's Liu Yu'er's turn!" The girls all laughed, only Liu Yu'er's face was getting redder and redder, as if she was about to bleed.

Bailiyu approached unceremoniously, lightly bit the tip of Liu Yu'er's delicate nose, and then pressed his lips against her cheek. Liu Yu'er seemed to push him away, but also seemed to lose her balance. She fell back and fell to the ground with Bailiyu. The giggles around became more noisy, and Bailiyu still hugged Liu Yu'er and rolled on the ground a few times, biting her ear lightly. Liu Yu'er's skirt was turned up, but there were no trousers underneath. In the light of the palace lantern, her legs were slender and delicate, as if they were carved in powder.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..." The women seemed to be pulling, but they just followed by and pretended to be. Liu Yu'er blushed and snorted softly.

Jimo turned his head to look at his companion, only to feel a muscle in the back of his neck go numb all the way to the top of his head. The two climbed down the ladder shyly, and sat side by side under the palace wall. Lu Guichen touched his forehead, which was actually covered with sweat, and let out a long breath.

"No wonder you climbed so high..." Ji Ye stared at him.

"I'm not! I..." Lu Guichen stammered, "I just really don't have anything to do. Originally, Liu Yu'er and Xiao Su were in Guihong Pavilion, and they also ran over. I'm the only one left here. I just want to see what they're doing."

"So it was your maid who was snatched away by Young Master Yu, but you also like this?" Ji Ye snorted disdainfully from his nose.

I'm not..." Lu Guichen didn't know how to explain. His face was red and purple, like an unripe eggplant, so he had to bow his head deeply.

"Can you go out of the palace?" Ji Ye pulled his sleeve, "I will take you out tomorrow night to see something new."

"Fresh?" Lu Guichen raised his head and looked at his friend in surprise.

Himino's face was full of complacency.
