The weather is getting colder and autumn is coming again. In the vegetable field in the courtyard, Zhang Zong was patiently pollinating the two vegetables he grew. These two vegetables are turnips and pineapple. They are hybridized with each other as their mothers. I don’t know if they can cultivate cabbage, but I have to give it a try.

Pollination is a very meticulous job, and I can't do it without some patience. For example, Xue Shao is here today and was helping just now, but after working for a while, I didn't know where to go. However, Wan'er still followed Zhang Zong very seriously, learning to pollinate the flowers with stern eyes.

Fortunately, Zhang Zong planted very few vegetables, and these two kinds of vegetables did not bloom much, so after spending most of the time, he finally pollinated the flowers. Zhang Zong straightened up and beat his sore waist. Wan'er hurriedly poured tea for Zhang Zong and helped him beat his back.

"Okay, after these flowers are pollinated, you just need to wait quietly for them to make seeds, and then plant them next year to see what kind of vegetables these hybrid seeds can grow?" Zhang Zong drank all the tea, and then said to Wan'er with a smile.

"If you can really grow the cabbage that the young master said, it will be a matter of immeasurable merit. Even if you are poor people in the future, you will not have to worry about not having any vegetables in winter!" Wan'er understood Zhang Zong's thoughts best, and replied with a smile.

Zhang Zong laughed after hearing this, but at this moment, Xue Shao also ran over with excitement and shouted: "Brother Shi, come and see, the eighteenth bachelor's plant you grafted is about to bloom!"

"I knew it a long time ago, but I have just started flower buds. I guess I will have to wait a few days until the flower blooms." Zhang Zong smiled and walked out of the vegetable field, then went to the pool next to him to wash his hands.

Later generations had a famous camellia variety, Eighteen Bachelor, but unfortunately camellia was too fond of sourness and was not easy to plant in the north. One day, Zhang Zong had a sudden inspiration and wanted to challenge his grafting technology, so he grafted the eighteen roses onto the pole of a wild rose and named it "Eighteen Bachelor". Unexpectedly, it grew well.

Although Zhang Zong had known that the Eighteenth Bachelor's Day was about to bloom, looking at Xue Shao's excited appearance, he still followed him to the front yard and saw that a rose planted on the ground with the best light in the yard. Because the roots of the wild rose are well developed, the rose also grows lush branches and leaves, and the green leaves are mixed with some full buds. Some buds have cracked several gaps, which seem to be open at any time.

Because there are too many flowers and plants in the flowerbed, Zhang Zong usually only grows flowers. Except for the grafting of this 18th Bachelor's rose, he took care of this 18th Bachelor's rose for a while, he didn't care much about the rest of the time. At most, he just watered some water occasionally.

However, the more this happens, the stronger these flowers and plants grow. In fact, flowers and plants are far less delicate than people imagine. The harsh environment can make them burst out with strong vitality. Of course, the environment cannot be too harsh. Exceeding their limits will also make flowers and plants unable to survive.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Zong re-tripped the eighteenth bachelor's plant, removed some endogenous and weak branches, leaving enough room for growth for the thick branches. Although the weather is getting colder now, roses have a very strong resistance to cold. Before winter comes, it is enough to completely open this wave of flowers.

Just as Zhang Zong was trimming flowers and plants, he suddenly saw the moon gate connected to Furong Garden being pushed open. Then a long-standing man walked in. Xue Shao immediately smiled when he saw the other party, "Cousin Xian, why are you here?"

The person who came was Li Xian. Although his son was so old, Li Xian was still elegant. He smiled at Xue Shao and said, "I heard from Guangshun that something happened to Brother Zhang here, so let's take a look!"

"Your Highness is worried about it, but he just lost some manuscripts, which is not a big deal!" Zhang Zong also smiled and said, "When he first met before, Li Xian had been running to him a lot, but later Zhang Zong entered Chongxian Pavilion, and everyone knew that he was Li Hong's person. Since then, Li Xian came to find Zhang Zong very often, but when he met on the Yuan Dynasty, he only chatted with Zhang Zong a few times.

"I heard from Guangshun that the manuscript is your hard work, Brother Zhang, but unfortunately I lost it on the pleasure boat in Furong Garden. This is a bit strange. Generally, no one in Furong Garden dares to take things randomly. Could it be that someone took it away on purpose?" Li Xian walked up to the front and asked solemnly.

Zhang Zong offered a reward to find the manuscript. Of course, he could not say that the manuscript was stolen by Taiping. Instead, he said that he and Xue Shao and others were playing on the pleasure boat, but lost the manuscript after the manuscript. Later, he disappeared when he went back to search. What Li Xian knew was probably this version. After all, Li Guangshun had already received Zhang Zong's advice and would not tell anyone the truth.

"This matter is indeed a bit strange, but we have also searched all the pleasure boats and asked the officials who managed the pleasure boats, but they have found nothing. In desperation, I can only use the reward method to find the manuscript." Zhang Zong also answered half-truely.

"I heard from Guangshun that your manuscripts are all very interesting stories. If someone takes away the manuscript because he likes these stories, there is no need to hide it and not return it. If someone wants to borrow these manuscripts for profit, I can ask for help!" Li Xian said again.

After all, Li Xian is a prince and has a great reputation among scholars. The person who steals manuscripts is likely to be a scholar, so if he mobilizes his own strength, he might be able to find out some news.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhang Zong was not polite, and immediately thanked Li Xian.

Li Xian seemed very happy that he could help Zhang Zong, so he immediately chatted with Zhang Zong again. At the beginning, he was talking about Guangshun's study at Chongxian Pavilion, but soon Li Xian changed his words and said again: "Recently, I am reviewing the "Book of the Later Han" with my fourth brother. Speaking of which, the fourth brother was able to return to the capital, thanks to your help."

"Your Highness is so polite. I just helped a little, and the one who really contributed was the Crown Prince." Zhang Zong also said with a smile. When he mentioned Li Hong, he deliberately observed Li Xian's expression, but found that Li Xian did not show any abnormality.
