I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

The five little birds have seen all kinds of viciousness, snobbery, and greed in Yuecheng... I didn't expect there would be such pure and unrequited love? Is this how friends are? Not family, but like family?

"Ah! By the way, last time you said Lingxiao grass is your food. You don't eat anything else, right?"

Shangguan Yue’s words interrupted the birds’ guesses.

"Yes, sister. We can only eat that, but there is not much left now. I don't know why the Lingxiao grass in this yard has gradually withered since a few years ago."

Xiao Lan was very discouraged.

The other four birds were silent, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Shangguan Yue felt that this matter was not simple. Now they could not go back to Zi Yan Island, and if the only food here died, then they could only wait to die?

“Can’t other foods be used as a substitute?”

"Sister, we have tried it. It's not that we can't eat other things. It's OK temporarily, but it will be uncomfortable if we eat it for a long time. We also want to be like ordinary birds, but we can't."

"Before she died, Saint Mother said that you can eat anything on Ziyan Island, but you can't eat anything outside. It came here just for the Lingxiao grass. The surrounding area of ​​Tianshan Mountain is extremely cold, but the temperature on the top of the mountain is pleasant all year round. It used to be suitable for the growth of Lingxiao grass. Later, the climate of Tianshan Mountain changed drastically, and the Lingxiao grass began to die. Saint Mother planned to find a place to see if it could be grown.

Unexpectedly, before she could bring back the Lingxiao grass seeds, she was hunted down and her Purple Flame Feather was taken away when she was about to give birth to us. She had no choice but to hide in this deserted yard to give birth to us, and in the end... she died..."

Xiao Jin's light golden eyes were filled with tears.

"The Saint Mother didn't bring back the Lingxiao grass, and we don't know what the Lingxiao grass is used for. Could it be that this grass is the reason why we can survive here? But since there is food on Ziyan Island, there is no need to look for this Lingxiao grass!

Later, several of my brothers and I went to Tianshan with great difficulty. When we found the Lingxiao grass, the grass had already dried up. We swallowed the only seeds and brought them back. Then... we scattered them under this yard. Unexpectedly, it actually grew.

But in recent years, the Lingxiao grass has begun to wither slowly, and only the little bit under the flower stand is left. I don’t know how long we can maintain it, it may disappear soon.”

Xiaobai's black and white eyes were filled with sorrow.

"No! Don't worry, we will definitely think of a good way to make the Lingxiao grass alive. Think about happy things and think about what kind of beautiful home your sister will give you."

Shangguan Yue was also worried, but she couldn't say it. If the five little birds left like this, she would be very sad. Although they had only been friends for a few days, the pure friendship between them made her feel sad even if she thought about it.

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian were both very busy. Chen Bianbian asked Chunfen to go to the pawnshop to buy some maids and hired teachers, and if they couldn't find any, she could post a job posting. She herself looked at the account book every day, checking the income and expenditure of the general's mansion, and she had never looked at the account of her own dowry.

Although she felt relieved to have Chunfen taking care of things, one could not always rely on others. Life would be meaningless if she did not even know her own financial situation. Only when she knew how much money she had could she better develop her career, as there would be many places where she would need to spend money in the future.

Shangguan Yue's rose garden was also full of workers. Shangguan Yue chose to build a large wooden house of about 10 square meters between two large trees, about three meters above the ground. A bamboo ladder was needed to get to the top of the wooden house.

There is a living room in the house. In the middle of the room is a brown low-legged wooden table. Around the table are six thick cushions stuffed with cotton and with floral and bird patterns.

There are also five small houses about one square meter in size. Each house is equipped with a small wooden door and a small window through which you can see the scenery outside. The color of each house is different, and the color of the door is matched with the color of the window.

There is a round bed in the small room, which is covered with a thick cotton mat of the same color as the house. There is a wooden stick on the other side of the bed, which can be used to hang things and birds can stand on it to play.

Shangguan Yue was still tinkering with the plot of land with the flower stand every day. She had not had anyone weed this plot of land before, for fear that the Lingxiao grass would also be weeded.

These days she has been carefully weeding, avoiding the Lingxiao grass and weeding all the weeds. She is exhausted, but her body is too thin and there is nothing she can do. She has to do a little work every day as a form of exercise.

Xiaoman felt sorry for Shangguan Yue working every day and kept nagging her to stop her from working. But Chen Bianbian's words worked. She said that since children like to tinker around, just let her play, thus preventing her ears from suffering.

It took another two days to finally finish the land around the flower stand, dividing it into eight pieces, about 8 meters long and 1 meter wide. Then I asked the workers to deep-plow the land. After a few days of sun exposure, they arranged it into neat flat beds.

Flat beds are suitable for growing vegetables. Shangguan Yue plans to transplant the Lingxiao grass there. It is too dense under the flower rack, and it will easily wither due to lack of oxygen and light.

The land near the edge is made into ridges, which is convenient for setting up frames to plant some climbing flowers, which can provide normal covering effect. If it is made into a wall, it would seem a bit deliberate. People all have this mentality: when you build a wall, others will always be curious about what precious things are inside.

Shangguan Yue and Chen Bianbian were working hard, and Shangguan Yan, the general who protected the country, was also busy. He had a three-month vacation and was thinking about how to please his wife Li Junlan. Unexpectedly, he had just returned for two days and had not thought of a way or rested enough before the emperor urgently summoned him back to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, there was a huge quarrel in the palace for some unknown reason, and the emperor's expression was hard to describe. When he saw Shangguan Yan coming, the emperor's expression was a little subtle.

It turned out that the leader of the Imperial Guard, General Chu, suddenly fell into a coma for unknown reasons. The ministers quarreled over who should take over his position, and the emperor did not agree to let anyone take over.

The emperor asked Shangguan Yan to come and listen to Shangguan Aiqing's opinion. Shangguan Yan was not an illiterate man who only knew how to fight. The emperor's question made him tremble in his heart. As a minister, how could he dare to give advice? He could only give suggestions.

The palace was in a mess. I wonder who put him on the chopping block. Who did Shangguan Yan hinder?

"Shangguan, my dear minister? Why don't you take over General Chu's position temporarily and share my worries?"

"Your Majesty, no. I just came back and my injuries have not healed yet. I am afraid I am powerless. Moreover, I am just a rough man. The position of the leader of the Imperial Guard requires a versatile person. I beg Your Majesty to choose someone else."

Shangguan Yan didn't dare to take this job. It was not a good thing to be appointed to the highest position in the Imperial Guard just two days after returning. It might be a conspiracy. The tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

He would rather go to the border, even if it is harder, he can be free. Being stared at by thousands of eyes in the imperial city every day is like walking on thin ice, and he feels uncomfortable all over.

"My dear minister, you don't have to belittle yourself. The border has never been pacified for many years, but you have prevented the enemy from invading South Vietnam for 20 years. You are the God of War of our South Vietnam. As a God of War, how can you not be competent as a leader in the imperial city? I will come to you later, you can go directly to the Imperial Guard camp to take up your post!"

The emperor looked at Shangguan Yan, who was kneeling in front of the palace with her head bowed, with an unhappy tone.

"I thank the emperor and I will take my leave."

Looking at Shangguan Yan who was gradually walking away, a dark light flashed in the emperor's eyes.
