2. First meeting in a dream

Hua Xun's cousin, the eldest son of Hua Junhou, just one year old Hua Yan, whose milk name is Ah Zhi. In the prince's mansion, concubines cannot be called Mrs., and even the children of concubines cannot call their biological mothers mothers, but can only be called A-Niang or Xiaoniang.

Originally, if Hua Xun was a son, the status of the eldest lady would naturally not be threatened in any way. But this concubine gave birth to a little son, and it stands to reason that she should be promoted to a flat wife, once Hua Yan becomes the eldest son, the status of Hua Xun and the eldest lady will be embarrassing.

Aunt Ci looked at Hua Xun with clear eyes in surprise, and she didn't know why she suddenly asked like this. She said: "No, who did the little master listen to?" ”

Hua Xun stood up, patted his clothes, and smiled slyly: "Ah Zhi's mother saw me salute some time ago, although I am still smiling when I see me these days, but my words are above me, isn't my father going to raise her position or what?" She walked back slowly with small steps, her eyes were round, and the strange appearance of the elf was compelling, "My father has been shushing me for a little less recently, and I think I should pay more attention to Ah Zhi." ”

Aunt Ci wanted to lead her, but she waved her hand like an adult: "I'll just go by myself." Like an old gentleman, he stopped, Nunu, "It's going to be cold in a while, protect that begonia flower." ”

"Yes." The aunt was stunned, then nodded with a smile, and followed the little master to the front hall.

After finishing the meal with Hua Junhou, and waiting for the food to be withdrawn, after the flower tea was served, Hua Xun carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and gargled with tea.

Hua Junhou held the tea in his hand and looked at Hua Xun with a smile on his face. Seeing that the servant had a cup of tea again, Hua Junhou spoke: "Xun'er, have you read the "Book of Flowers" and "Book of Incense" that Mr. taught you?" ”

"Father, please take the test." Hua Xun smiled, and the two tiger teeth were shining.

"Oh? How gifted my son is to be able to read the Scriptures by heart? This was out of Hua Junhou's expectations, he just asked casually, and he didn't expect a five-year-old child to really be familiar with the two classics, but he didn't expect Hua Xun to have such a talent. He put down the teacup and asked tentatively, "What about wisteria?" ”

"The wisteria edge the wood, the vines are knotted, and the tree is connected, and the bending and winding of the tree is like a dragon haunting the waves. Blooms in mid-spring. ”

"How about the chicken tongue fragrant recipe?"

"Back to my father. The recipe for chicken tongue incense includes nine baht of green wood incense, six baht of musk, shallot, agarwood, parsnip, qin peng, half a tael of draining reed, one tael of cimicifuga, one or two of skullcap, white and ephedra. ”

Have a ready tongue.

Hua Junhou asked a few more prescriptions, and some grass and tree habits, and Hua Junhou could answer the flower inquiries, and there was no difference.

This can't help but surprise the flower monarch who has not paid attention to the talent of flowers and plants, and can't help but become more and more convinced of the flower god's theory.

praised a few words of Hua Xun, and asked Du Zhong to pick some things and send them to her room, Hua Junhou was satisfied with Hua Xun and went back, never mentioning the matter of raising his wife.

Sitting in a small sedan chair, he walked around several sections of verandah, passed through three arches, and returned to his small courtyard from the antechamber.

The sedan chair in front of the courtyard, Hua Xun watched the sedan chair man retreat, only Aunt Ci was left, she thought for a while and asked: "The children of Huafu are all nine years old in the flower field, why do they only get off at the age of six?" I'll be six years old next year, and I'm going to start learning kung fu and going to the flower fields, so it looks like I'm busier than my father. She looked at Aunt Ci as she walked, "Father I don't know if I will learn to ride and shoot, although Emperor Wu once ordered that women and men have the right to learn the six arts, but in the past hundred years, the emperor's decree has gradually been abolished, who in the family wants to let their daughter learn the six arts?" ”

Lily of the valley waited at the door with a lantern for a long time, and Hua Xun saw it from afar and sped up her pace. Aunt Ci followed behind and replied to her words: "Since the little master is worried, why didn't the master explain it when he asked?" ”

Hua Xun stopped Lily of the Valley from saluting, took the lantern in her hand and said, "Father wants you not to help me warm my bed in the future, you can live in my side room so that you can talk to me." ”

"Don't worry, master, the slave will always guard you." Lily of the valley stepped aside, opened the door of the inner room that was warmed by incense, and smiled in response.

Hua Xun nodded and gave the lantern to Aunt Ci, and said, "Father was supposed to mention to me about Ah Zhi's mother's ascension to the throne today," she paused, her eyes narrowed and smiled, "I didn't mention it later because I made him think that I was smarter than Ah Zhi, and my father would not spoil the relationship between our father and daughter for Ah Zhi." ”

She yawned again and turned to walk into the inner room.

Ci Gu stood in the somewhat cool courtyard with a lantern, watching Hua Xun walk in with her skirt and the door that was closed, the look on her face was hidden in the night, and her bright eyes were full of complicated feelings.

After standing for a long time, she saluted the door and said, "Thank you for the little master's lantern." Then he stepped out of the courtyard with the small lantern, and his figure melted into the darkness. The faint candle flame swayed in the cool breeze, like a lonely boat fishing lantern in the wind and waves in the rain, disappearing as people drift away.

Zelan and Pei Lan had been waiting indoors for Hua Xun to come back, and after waiting for Hua Xun to bathe and change clothes, they scattered the flower curtains and lit up the wick. Lily of the valley covered the quilt for Hua Xun and knelt under the bed.

"You go to sleep first, Lily of the Valley guards me, and I will call you if there is something." Hua Xun turned his head to look at Zelan, and ordered the three of them with a deep sleepiness.

"Yes." Perrin and Zeeland should have retreated.

"Little master......" Hua Xun heard Lily of the Valley whispering to her. She smiled with tiger teeth, "Sister Lily of the Valley, are you going to ask me why I said these things to Aunt Ci?" ”

Lily of the valley nodded, and the pendant on her earlobe swayed.

"My mother taught me." She blinked, looking playful and cute, "Aunt Ci was arranged by my father to take care of me, and since I have grown up, I don't need Aunt Ci to arrange everything for me." Besides, Aunt Ci will go out of the house and get married in a few days, so I can't let Aunt Ci be reluctant to me. ”

Lily of the valley paused, her eyes a little gloomy.

"Sister Lily of the Valley, although you are ten years older than me, but you have to follow me for the rest of your life, if someone wants to please you, you need to be married by the media, and I will only agree to ask you to be Mrs. with a sedan chair." She muttered, tiredness set in, and her eyelids drooped.

"The little master, the slave does not marry, and the slave is willing to guard the little master for a lifetime." Lily of the valley straightened her waist and her eyes lit up.

"Hmm......" Hua Xun replied confusedly.

Seeing that Hua Xun was asleep, Lily of the Valley quietly got up and withdrew lightly.

Retreating to the door, Lily of the Valley slowly closed the door.

Surrounded by clouds and mist, the big bird with golden feathers hovers its long tail in the blue sky, the blue sky is clear, the green grass is soft and comfortable, and the air carries an unknown fragrance, like a special floral fragrance. Butterflies fluttering, flowing water stretches into the distance like a jade belt, golden-scaled carp play freely in the clear water, the beach between the stream and the grass shines in the warm sun, the cool breeze blows, and the fine sand is blown away for half a minute.

Hua Xun was wearing a white undershirt and stepping on the grass barefoot. She looked around in confusion, and a crane flew from a distance, skimming over her head, its white wings bringing a gust of wind that ruffled her hair.

Suddenly, a petal slowly fell from the sky, and she reached out to catch it.

Suddenly, the petals dance lightly in the sky, the white petals scatter from the sky, the fragrance of begonia flowers is rich in an instant, and the soft sunlight sprinkles on the petals, as if coating the white begonia flowers with a halo. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, refreshing, the breeze is gusting, and every corner is covered with petals, and there is a psychedelic flower rain in the sky and on earth.

She craned her neck and closed her eyes, rejoicing in the magical gift. She could feel the petals gently fall on her forehead, on her shoulders, on her clothes...... Fell at her feet, on the soil with the breath of spring, on the feathers of a great bird, on the water...... She could feel the warm touch, the petals that landed on her face flew away, and a refreshing scent took over her sense of smell at the same time.

She twitched her small nose and smelled the fragrance as clear as water but faintly recognizable, like a pair of soft hands, taking the petals from her forehead and brushing the begonias from her shoulders.

When she opened her eyes, a woman in white clothes and extremely beautiful looked at her with a smile and tenderness.

Her eyes widened, staring at the woman's face in amazement.

It was a face of astonishment. The white jade is carved, the eyebrows are cold, but there is a smile in the corners of the eyes, and the frost is suddenly broken, as if the earth is warming up and everything is recovering.

She couldn't find the words to describe her.

"You...... Who are you? She blinked and asked blankly, just like a mediocre mortal. She is indeed a mortal person.

"I'm Huadu." The cold voice of the celestial man sounded extremely soft.

Hua Xun was still a little sluggish: "That...... Where is this? ”

Huadu said, "This is in your dream. ”

"In my dreams?" She looked around suspiciously, "So you're also my dream?" ”

"Follow me."

Hanado didn't answer her words, and summoned the big golden bird hovering in the sky. The big bird flew closer, and Hua Xun saw that the big bird's feathers were not golden, but burning flames. The big bird lay down on the ground, and Huadu stood up, his clothes fluttering, but there was no flame in it.

"Come up." Hanado held out his hand to her, "Come." ”

Hua Xun stood still and refused to move. She shook her head and said, "There is fire on the big bird. ”

Hua Du Wan'er smiled, and the green silk that reached his waist was fluttering lightly in the wind. She said: "Don't be afraid, I am a flower fairy, I will protect you." ”

Hua Xun nodded cautiously and hesitantly, and his body flew towards Hua Du uncontrollably. Huadu reached out to catch her, and she landed firmly in Huadu's arms.

The big bird soared up, Lingyun was thousands of miles, and the white clouds passed by them, and Hua Xun buried his head in the clear embrace of Huadu's fragrance, blushing shamefully.

"Huadu, where are we going?" Relieved, turned his head away from Hua Du's embrace, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds, Hua Xun suddenly forgot his timidity, and looked down from the sky happily and curiously.

The white fog blocked a qiē, and nothing could be seen. She retracted into her enchanting embrace in disappointment and quietly hugged Huadu.

Hua Du glanced down at her, with a smile in his eyes. With a wave of her long sleeves, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the paddy fields and green mountains came into view, and the scenery was picturesque and beautiful.

"I'll take you to the highest place in Flower City."

Hua Xun grabbed Hua Du's hand, looked down on the earth, and took in the mountains and rivers on the ground. She stretched her neck excitedly, pointed to a mansion on the ground with a wide area, and said to Huadu: "Huadu, look, that's Huafu, that's my home!" The pride was evident in the words.

"Ah Jing, that's not your house." Hua Du's faint words floated into Hua Xun's ears, with a slight sense of loss and helplessness, and it sounded a little unhappy.

In a blink of an eye, he reached the top of the mountain, Hua Xun jumped off the big bird, turned his head and stood on the ground, touched the feathers of the big bird, and patted the big bird approvingly: "Go, Luan Huang." ”
