"I didn't expect you to get a drunken hibiscus back, but hibiscus flowers can only grow in places with better climates, where did you get this one?"

Xiao Sier was not polite to Xia Laohan, smiled, and thought of the growth habits of hibiscus flowers, so he asked. After all, the climate of Chang'an and the surrounding area of Chang'an is not the best growing environment for hibiscus flowers.

"I found it at the foot of Wan'an Mountain in Luoyang, where the climate is relatively mild and there is plenty of moisture, so it is not impossible to grow such a drunken hibiscus." As soon as Xia Laohan mentioned this drunken hibiscus, he was full of energy.

"This was found in Luoyang?" Xiao Sier was slightly surprised, thinking of the declining ancient capital of Luoyang City.

"That's right, I originally wanted to find a few better peonies in Luoyang to come back, but I didn't expect to meet such a drunken hibiscus earlier." Xia Laohan explained.

"Are there a lot of peonies in Luoyang now?" Xiao Sier was slightly surprised, but as soon as she said it, she realized that something was wrong and changed her words: "I mean, there are many good varieties of peonies in Luoyang?" ”

"It can't be said that the best peonies in the country are all in Luoyang, but at least you can find many good peonies there that you can't see elsewhere." In this regard, Xia Laohan is an expert, and he is quite confident in speaking.

"That's just as well." Xiao Sier nodded in agreement, and by the way thought of the legend about Peony and Wu Meiniang, who said that Peony was thrown to Luoyang because he didn't buy Wu Meiniang's account? This Wu Meiniang doesn't know where it is, people's peonies have long bloomed all over the sky, so well, legends are legends, and they can't be true.

"We have already seen a few flower beds over there, and we have greeted a few flower farmers over there, saying that they are asking them to help find some good varieties of seedlings, and then go for a walk after the second day of February next year, and come back just to watch the flowers, and this yard will be even more lively!"

Xia Laohan said that his spirit was flying, and he seemed to have seen the appearance of peonies blooming in this courtyard.

"It must be very lively!" Bai Zhi has been running around the greenhouse a few times these days, and has also developed some different interests and hobbies in flowers and plants, and she is also happy when she thinks of the various peonies that are blooming all over the garden.

"Not really! The wealth and grace of peonies, there are few other flowers that can be compared, just like our girls, don't you say? Mama Bai saw that Xiao Sier was in a good mood, so she followed the joke and praised her.

"That's right! The girl's appearance is first-class beauty, and her temperament is also noble and rich, so naturally she can only be compared with the peony fairy! The servant who tended to the flowers and plants in the shed answered, and it was these few words of flattery that almost consumed all his knowledge and talent......

"Yes, yes, yes"

Xiao Sier heard Mama Bai say this, and glanced at her with a smile, but her expression was a little light, and after listening to the echo of others, he changed the topic, "I heard that there will be a Buddha bathing festival after March 3, have any of you heard of this?" ”

"Buddha bathing festival?" Xia Laohan has lived in the capital for most of his life, and he has really never heard of this festival.

"What is the Buddha Bathing Festival?" Xiao Xia Zhi looked puzzled, raised his head and asked Xiao Sier with a red face.

"I really haven't heard of this, I don't know what the girl said about this Buddha bathing festival is the solar term?" Mama Bai planned to go out and inquire after asking.

"This ......" Xiao Sier felt that the muscles on his face must twitch before he suddenly said a Buddha bathing festival, after all, the current Great Sui Dynasty has just been established for a few years, and Yang Jian has not yet introduced a large number of Buddhist culture, so this Buddha bathing festival or something, the ghost knows what it is, but now, how is she going to explain it to them?

"Buddha bathing festival? Who is talking about the Buddha Bathing Festival? But at this moment, Chai Hu's voice came in from outside, and then I saw him rush into the flower shed from outside.

"Presumptuous chaihu! What kind of system do you shout in front of the girl! Mama Bai saw Chai Hu three steps over a few pots of orchid camellia and jumped in front of them, afraid that he would startle Xiao Sier, so she blocked Xiao Sier behind her and scolded him.

Chai Hu barely made a face at Mama Bai, and muttered, "Your voice is louder than mine......

"What did you say?" Mama Bai was not so easy to fool, and immediately glared at him.

"I said......" Chai Hu was drunk again by Mama Bai, shrunk her shoulders in a blink of an eye, glanced at Xiao Sier behind her, and raised her voice again, "I said, girl, are you talking about the Buddha Bathing Festival?" ”

"Do you know about the Buddha Bathing Festival?" Xiao Sier was a little surprised, but inexplicably relieved, now that there is someone in the know, there is no need for her to explain the matter of the Buddha Bathing Festival, right?

"I know, I know!" Chai Hu immediately left Mama Bai and Mama Bai's temper behind, and told them about the Buddha Bathing Festival.

It is said that a few years ago the capital came to a Tianzhu missionary monk, the monk lived in a small thatched hut on the Wanjuan Mountain in Chang'an City, one day Yang Jian had a chance with the monk on a side, the monk to Yang Jian once told the way of Buddhism, Yang Jian felt reasonable.

And just after Yang Jianlong ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he actually issued a special decree to crown the high monk as the 'Great Monk of Ming Anger', and ordered his thatched house to be built into a large temple called 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple'.

As for the origin of this Buddha bathing festival, it is because Yang firmly believed in the preaching of the great monk Ming and felt that the eighth day of the fourth month was the birthday of the Buddha, and it was naturally celebrated and worshiped by all the people, so he launched such a "Buddha bathing festival".

“…… Two months before the Buddha Bathing Festival, the wind was released in the yamen, and it began to be implemented, and next year is the first session, but how did the girl know at this time? Chai Hu painted the origin of this bathing Buddha festival to everyone, and by the way, I was puzzled.

“…… I heard about it not long ago. Xiao Sier explained with a bitter smile.

Seeing her like this, except for Xia Laohan and Xiao Xia Zhi in this courtyard, the others are also people who understand and know the past relationship between Xiao Sier and Yang Guang, and this is also a secret that everyone can't say, so naturally no one mentions it.

And although Xia Laohan didn't know about Xiao Si'er, he had lived for most of his life, and he also knew that the nobles in this world had more or less unspeakable secrets, and as a person struggling to live at the bottom of the society, he knew that he didn't have enough strength to spy on the secrets of these nobles, so he could only sigh for Xiao Si'er from the bottom of his heart, and pulled Xiao Xia Zhi who wanted to continue to ask to the side.

"Girl, don't you want to visit this Buddha Bathing Festival?" After the atmosphere was depressed for a while, Chai Hu immediately changed the topic, thinking that since Xiao Sier asked, she must have been looking forward to this festival before, so she picked up the topic she was interested in and asked.

"Well, I heard that there will be people fighting flowers during the Buddha Bathing Festival, thinking that when Xia Laohan's peony comes back, we can also show our faces and make a publicity for ourselves!" Xiao Sier was originally pretending to be emotional, so she grasped the degree, and felt that everyone would not ask her how to know the origin of the Buddha Bathing Festival, so she decisively said her thoughts.
