People in Chang'an in July are actually sleep-deprived.

As long as there is a moment of shade, people can fall asleep, so in this hot weather, people in Chang'an are always in a daze.

The villa built by the Yun family in Bashang is tall and has large windows, so the house is much cooler than the house in Chang'an.

Yun Chu still felt sleepy when he woke up. He didn't wake up naturally, but because of the heat.

Looking at the wet bamboo mat, Yunchu took off his extra clothes and jumped into the stream that led into the yard.

After being stimulated by the cold stream water and shivering twice, I felt completely comfortable.

I simply lay down in the canal and was pushed forward by the current. Seeing that I was about to leave the yard, I sat up holding the edge of the canal and cut off the water flow with my body. I watched the water downstream reduce and the water upstream quickly accumulate.

It's also a kind of fun.

His eyes flickered to both sides casually, and then he froze. He stood up carefully, went to the vegetable field by the ditch, and tapped the watermelon in front of him with his fingers as usual.

The sound of "Beng Beng Beng" came from under his knuckles, and Yun Chu was sure that the thing in front of him was undoubtedly a watermelon.

Even though Yunchu was very sure, he was still very doubtful because in the Gobi Desert in the Western Region where he lived, there was something that looked very similar to a watermelon, called a medicinal gourd.

The vines and fruits of this thing are poisonous. As long as a small amount is eaten, it can cause extremely severe diarrhea. Yunchu often used this thing as medicine to harm people.

There was no such thing as watermelon in the Tang Dynasty, and it didn't even have a name. But now that he saw watermelon, Yunchu's first reaction was that it was a medicinal gourd, not a watermelon.

Yunchu never believed in such things as good luck. He knew that he had come to the Tang Dynasty inexplicably and had to live his life again since he was a baby. He had used all his good luck.

All good things in the future require hard work to obtain, so the same goes for the watermelon in front of you.

But when he looked up, he saw that the large piece of land in front of him was covered with watermelons, which were obviously grown by the servants of the family.

Apart from him, the only people who have the authority to issue such orders are Yu Xiurong and Naha. As for Li Si, they are still young.

Considering this, Yunchu split the watermelon in front of him with one hand.

It's very good. The familiar watermelon smell hits your nose straight away, but the flesh of the watermelon is not red, but light pink.

After Yunchu dug out a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, he finally determined that the thing in front of him was a watermelon, not the terrible herbal medicine gourd he found in the Gobi.

After eating half of the watermelon in one go, Yun Chu frowned slightly, because the watermelon here was not as sweet as he had imagined, and the flesh seemed not as delicate as the watermelon he had eaten before, and there were many white flocculations that could clog his teeth.

With this new toy, Yunchu's sleepiness completely disappeared. He picked five ripe watermelons from the watermelon field. After splitting them all, he discovered that the watermelon he just ate was of the worst quality.

one of.

One of the watermelons is round and round. Although the rind is very thick, it is a fully grown sand-crusted watermelon.

Yunchu was about to feast, but he stopped digging into the watermelon. There was a pregnant woman and four greedy children at home.

Well, keep the best one. Yunchu inserted his hand hard into the fourth best watermelon. This is what he can enjoy alone.

This has also been Yunchu's habit all along.

Cui Yao has long discovered this characteristic of the Yun family. There are delicious and useful products, but they are usually kept close to Naha and a few children. The couple usually only use the second-rate products.

According to Cui Yao, this is the mentality and behavior that only poor people have. Rich people don't have such a habit. Whoever has it belongs to them, and there is no such thing as humiliating oneself to fulfill others.

For this reason, Cui Yao also laughed at Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong. This is why the poor expect their children to be filial sons so much. It is entirely because they have paid too much for their children and regard their children as their destiny. This is why they have such inappropriate expectations.

Wealthy people care more about whether their children will become successful, rather than whether they are filial or not.

It is not the first requirement, they also hope that their children can carry forward the family business based on their foundation.

Their only filial request for their children is that after their death, their children should send them on their last journey wearing sackcloth and mourning.

Moreover, Cui Yao also believed that love is harmful and diligence is useless, which was a shocking statement in the eyes of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention the average Tang Dynasty people, even Yun Chu found it impossible to accept it.

Yun Chu is also a determined person. Since Cui Yao is famous, she can teach her children in this way. Yun Chu and Yu Xiurong continue to use their own habits to treat their children.

This is what Yunchu thinks is the golden mean. He thinks it is not good to take things to extremes, and raising a son who is very talented but has a weak heart is also not in line with his expectations.

In five days, it will be time for Princess Wencheng to return to Tubo, and it will also be time for He Lan Minzhi and Dunzhu, a pair of poisonous people, to return to Tubo.

When the time comes, I will have to give him a gift. Only then can I truly complete my life plan for Helan Minzhi.

Yun Chu knew that at this moment, He Lan Minzhi's highest hope in life was to complete his revenge on the Li family. He had suffered so much humiliation in the past, and if he didn't repay it a hundred times, he would not be He Lan Minzhi.

fine.

Anyway, there are many people in the world who want to kill Li Zhi, and He Lanmin is not the least of them. Li Zhi likes to tease his enemies, and he also likes to see the helpless expressions of his enemies. The more his enemies hate him, the more they hate him.

, the more excited he becomes, the more he will push his enemies to hate him even more, until the enemy is helpless due to jealousy, and finally dies of depression or madness.

Yun Chu returned to the small courtyard carrying three watermelons that he had split with his hands. At this time, Yu Xiurong had already woken up and was fanning three children sleeping on the bamboo bed to drive away flies.

Seeing Yunchu come in with a big bamboo basket, he said feebly, "I don't want to take a bite."

Yunchu washed the stone table with spring water, placed the watermelon on it, and cut the watermelon into even and beautiful segments with a short knife.

"Such a big fruit?" Yu Xiurong immediately perked up after seeing the watermelon.

Yun Chu gave her a piece of watermelon. Yu Xiurong gestured with the watermelon to her mouth and said, "Bite it?"

Yun Chu agreed, then slapped the three children on the buttocks who were too lazy to move and pretended to be asleep and said, "Get up and eat something delicious."

The three little ones got up in response. After seeing the watermelon, they no longer felt confused and gathered around the stone table with bare feet.

Naha in the room also heard it and hurried out, but was scolded by Yu Xiurong and went back to change clothes. It is not appropriate for a girl to wear gauze and expose her arms, not even at home.

After Yu Xiurong took her first bite of watermelon, her eyes started to shine, while the three children, Li Si, Yun Jin, and Yun Jin, had turned into pigs.

When Naha changed her clothes and came out, the first best watermelon had already been eaten. Fortunately, the taste of the second best watermelon was not much different from the first best watermelon. In a short time, all three watermelons were eaten clean.

net.

After eating three watermelons, the Yun family was still a little unsatisfied. Naha carefully examined the watermelon seeds and said, "It looks familiar."

Yun Chu said, "So, you asked people to plant that watermelon patch?"

Naha patted her head and said loudly, "I remembered, this is the seed given by Master Xuanzang, and he asked me to plant it carefully, saying it is a good thing."

After saying that, he ran towards the watermelon field like the wind, and the three little ones also ran with bare feet.

Yu Xiurong looked at Yun Chu with satisfaction and said, "It's really a good thing. Chili pepper is also a good thing, cotton is also a good thing, onions are also a good thing, and cabbage is also a good thing. New things are always good, but why is this thing called watermelon?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It was grown in the Western Region, so it is called watermelon."

"It's a pity, husband, why do you think all the good things are outside? Even the potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes you want grow outside. Our Tang Dynasty is so big, doesn't it produce good things?"

Yun Chu said, "It doesn't matter. If we farm well, these things will appear on our land sooner or later and benefit all people."

Naha came back with three little ones. There were two large watermelons in the bamboo basket. Yun Chu patted them and found that they were two raw melon eggs, but they were a little bigger.

Yunchu didn't correct Naha's mistake. Anyway, these two melons were given to the old monkey, so it didn't matter if they were a little raw.

Yunchu followed Naha into Qiyun Temple. Although the Yun family spent money to build this temple, the current owner of this temple is Xuanzang, and he has the final say in everything here.

Seeing Naha come in with the watermelon, Xuanzang showed a smile on his face and said to Naha, "The cold melon has grown. Buddhist records say that this thing has been introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions since the Han Dynasty, and has never been cultivated."

Success, I didn’t expect my Nahal to be successful.”

Xuanzang was the same on the outside, still not paying much attention to Yunchu, and only had eyes for Naha holding the watermelon.

Naha proudly took out a melon and cut it open with a knife. The flesh was pure white. She looked at Yun Chu in confusion and whispered, "The melons my brother cut are all red and pink."

,It’s so sweet, why is the one I got white?”

Xuanzang stroked Naha's head kindly and said, "Because you picked the biggest one, and the biggest one is not necessarily mature. When I was in Tianzhu, I often saw giant elephants weighing ten thousand pounds trapped in the hands of childish children, so they are not mature enough."

Maturity cannot be judged by size."

After Xuanzang finished speaking, he took Naha away from Qiyun Temple and went to the Yun family's melon patch next door. Looking at the old monk's confident look, he must be someone who knows how to pick watermelons.

"Master Xuanzang ignores you."

The old monkey watched Master Xuanzang leave with Naha, and stimulated Yunchu from the side.

"That's because the master's Dharma is not profound enough. When the master's Dharma reaches a perfect state, you will naturally have nothing to fear."

The old monkey sneered and said, "As a great monk who upholds the precepts, it is really unjustifiable to have a son as old as you. Naturally, we have to wait until the Dharma is perfected before we can be fearless and do anything."

"We are not father and son"

"I naturally know it, and it cannot be known to outsiders at this time."

"It's not what you think. It's because Master Xuanzang saw something he shouldn't have seen, which caused his Buddhism to be trapped in appearances."

The old monkey smiled ferociously and said, "Not only did he see things he shouldn't have seen, he also did things he shouldn't have done and left things he shouldn't have left behind."

Yunchu saw that the old monkey had a deeper misunderstanding about this matter, so he decided to have a good talk with Master Xuanzang today no matter what, and tell the old monk his suspicions to prevent him from going astray.

Now all the monks in Chang'an are spreading the rumor that Xuanzang's Buddhist practice has been stuck at a certain bottleneck and has not been able to break through for a long time. Although it is not known what kind of karma hindered Xuanzang's practice, those Buddhist monks who are not able to deal with Xuanzang

They all agreed that Xuanzang still had unresolved karma, which was why he had only translated scriptures over the years, hoping to break through his karmic obstacles through this kind of hard work.

Yun Chu was willing to call the scene in which he appeared a time-space connection, and was even willing to call this scene a time-space overlap. If Xuanzang still couldn't understand the concept of time and space, Yun Chu planned to use the concept of the Buddhist universe to explain it.

Explain why you are there.

It is a pity that Master Xuanzang did not want to see him, or he could avoid him. While he was waiting for Master Xuanzang to return in Qiyun Temple, Master Xuanzang was in his family's villa with Yu Xiurong, Cui Shi, and Cui Shi.

Yao and the others tasted watermelon together and explained some Buddhist teachings to them.
