11. How old is Qing
The two walked very closely, smelling the fragrance on her body, and Hua Xun remembered that this was the fragrance of begonia flowers. She was in a trance for a while, always feeling that she had seen Huadu somewhere, and in her thoughts, she whispered in her ear: "Does the county lord have a favorite person?" ”
Hua Xun's face changed slightly, and his face turned red. Quan Dang didn't hear this, and quickened his pace to catch up with Chu Yan and Hua An.
Huadu, who fell behind him, smiled slightly, his eyes full of gentleness.
The courtyard where the four of them passed by, Hua'an suddenly thought about going to see it first.
Others did not dare to be guests at the host's house and offered to go to the boudoir of their daughter's house. But Hua An is Hua Xun's cousin, and Chu Yan can be regarded as a friend for many years, and there is only one Hua Du. Huadu is a woman, and several people go together, so it doesn't hurt to go together. Hua Xun couldn't refuse, so he had to take the three of them to his own yard.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Huadu looked up and saw four big characters on the plaque - Mirror Flower Water Moon. She was stunned for a moment, and the golden light could still be seen in the blur of the four words.
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" Hua Xun and Chu Yan, who were leading the way, turned around.
Hua An's face was pale, he looked at the plaque, and then at the expressionless Hua Du, and swallowed his saliva.
"I'd better go back and rest, I think I'm a little dizzy right now...... Right! I'm not feeling well! I want to go back and rest! Hanashi shouted.
Hua Xun was helpless, so he could only call Pei Lan and take Hua An to rest.
Chu Yan also felt that it was not good to stay at this time, so he also took his leave.
"Then let's go and rest first. The commentary ......" Hua Xun hesitated.
"I still have something to say to the county lord, can the county lord let me talk for a while?" Huadu said to Chu Yan.
"Welcome."
Hua Xun saw a few people leaving together, suspicious in his heart, looked up at the plaque, and said to himself: "Strange, don't you want to come in and have a look, why don't you even enter the door?" ”
Chu Yan invited Huadu to the room, and there was no way to know what the two of them said, only that after Huadu came out, Chu Yan had a gloomy face, closed the door and closed the door to thank the guests, claiming that he was unwell.
The Receiving Wind Banquet Flower Junhou did not appear, saying that several juniors of equal age communicated together, and he didn't have to participate as soon as he introduced the old man. Hua Xun is also an adult this year, and there are courtesies to entertain several female guests, not to mention that several people are not much different in age from Hua Xun. Just follow the rules.
At the banquet, Hua Xun replaced wine with tea, raised a glass to Chu Yan and said: "I am very happy to have friends from afar." When celebrating with wine, but it is inconvenient to drink alcohol after resigning from the boat, I salute each other with flower tea instead of wine. ”
Chu Yan raised his glass and said with a smile: "I know the name of Huafu Flower Tea, and I can smell its fragrance for ten miles." I came as a guest, and when I was a guest, I was fortunate to have a famous tea and accepted my feelings. ”
Hua An grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand, squinted at Hua Du who lowered his head and tasted tea, and knocked the melon seeds in his mouth.
"I don't know when the resignation and interpretation will leave for the palace?" Putting down the cup, Hua Wenwen said, "If I am willing to live in the house for a longer time, it will be so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
"The return date has not yet been decided, and the explanation says that he will stay in Huajun for some time, and there are important things to do. I deserve to be with you. Chu Yan sat down precariously.
"Oh?" The flower inquiry aroused curiosity. Huadu has important things to do, why should it? Chu Zhongci has to accompany him, and it seems that Huadu is very important...... Although curious, Hua Xun knew that there were some things that could not be asked, and even if she wanted to ask, she should listen to them in private, she said with interest, "I want to come and live in the house for a while." It's so good, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have a lot to say. And I haven't taken the commentary out of the city before, although the flower city is small, but there are famous mountains and rivers, and it can be regarded as beautiful; The downtown in the city is not as prosperous as the palace capital, but it is a straight spring day, and it is barely a little bit to look at. If you have free time, how about asking you to go to the youth and enjoy the spring? ”
"Okay." Huadu Road, "I heard that the county lord has been in Huacheng in the past?" ”
"Exactly."
"Coming in a hurry, leaving in a hurry, isn't it a disappointment to the beautiful scenery of the flower city?" Hua Du glanced at Hua Xun and said slowly, "The flowers are blooming well this year, and with the county lord as a companion, the county lord can follow him." ”
"This flower city is nothing but flowers are flowers, what is there to see." Hua An spit out the skin of the melon seeds, and said disdainfully, "Wanhua enters the Flower Mansion, it depends on what flowers go outside the city, and it is good to see them at home!" Waste those things! ”
Hua Xun shook his head and said: "No matter how good the flowers in Huafu are, they are also cultivated by florists, and they cannot be compared with the natural flowers and plants in the mountains and wilderness. If you really want to compare, it will be less arrogant. ”
"If you want to talk about arrogant flowers, it's not like there is nothing in the house." Hua An knocked another melon seed, and his words were snarky, "Isn't that begonia?" ”
Hua Xun only half-heard what she was going to say. I don't know why these two surnamed Hua are eyeing her begonia flowers.
"If my cousin likes begonias, you can choose any begonia flowers in the back garden." Hua Xun smiled, "Even if you have to go, it's okay." ”
"Cut," Hua An leaned back lazily and chirped, "Which one is like you, and I'm obsessed with it!" ”
"Why do you care so much that Ah Xun likes begonias?" Chu Yan said strangely, "The literati and sages have their own hobbies, there are Tao Yuan Ming Ai Ju, Zhou Dunyi Ai Lian, Emperor Wu Ai Peach Blossom, everyone has their own good, how can Ah Xun prefer Begonia, you will ridicule and ridicule three times and twice?" ”
"She's just jealous." Picking up the tea bowl, Hua Du took a sip gently, "What's so strange?" ”
"Which one is jealous!" Hanaan stood up and glared angrily.
Hua Xun leaned forward slightly, still with a smile on his face: "Eh, please sit down." She raised her hand and pressed it down, "Makes my cousin smile." That begonia has been with me since I was born, and I care about the relationship for more than ten years. ”
Hua Du's hand holding tea slowly lowered, and her gaze fell on the gently rippling water.
"It's not a good thing. If your cousin really wants to see it, you can move to the small courtyard and enjoy it together. ”
Chu Yan looked at Hua An quietly, and the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer.
She remembered that when Hua An was about to enter the Hua Xun courtyard, she looked frightened.
“…… I'll have a chance to go back another day. Hua An was speechless, so he had to prevaricate.
Hua Xun picked up the tea, hid his face and took a sip, and the smile dissipated.
When she put it down again, she smiled again and asked for wine and food.
At night, Chu Yan and Hua Xun sat in the Water Pavilion at night.
The moonlight is cold, and the pavilion stands in the middle of the pool, and the water reflects the moon shadow, sparkling. There is the sound of flowing water, there are curtains on all sides of the pavilion to block the wind, the koi fish swim in the pool, the sand and stone are clear and visible, the surroundings are silent, and the peach blossoms are flying in the distance. The pavilion was lit with candles, the stone benches were cushioned, the stone table was set with a small stove, and a wine jug was steaming and steaming, and there was a game of black and white chess pieces.
Hua Xun pinched the sunspot and landed on the chessboard of the vertical and horizontal net columns, while looking at the small furnace next to him.
“…… Why did you come this time? ”
Chu Yan put Bai Zi down, and said without raising his head: "Why did you say why did I come?" ”
"Didn't you say that you came to pick up the flowers?"
"I'm here to pick up flowers."
followed the sunspot to block the way: "It's really just a simple to pick up the flowers, although I haven't been with you for a long time, but the flower mansion and the Ning Wangfu are the same breath, you and I have been writing for more than nine years, and there is something about you outside, others say that I still believe in three ......points simply by the order of my father."
"You don't believe me?"
"I don't believe it." Hua Xun played with the chess pieces in his palm, raised his eyes to look at her, and smiled.
"I met you ten years ago, when you were still young, six years old, and you were very intelligent." Chu Yan's white son has already broken the siege, "I'm surprised that this flower sea meadow, the extravagant Hou Mansion family, has a smart person like you......"
"So do you think I'll be the future head of the Hua family?" Fold your fingers together and make a fist. Hua Xun looked at her with a smile, and said word by word, "But don't forget, Ah Zhi is twelve years old this year, and I am sixteen this year." ”
There was silence.
The cold wind blew, and the curtains flew.
There are peach blossoms falling on the shore, being swept up by the wind, and falling on the eaves of the pavilion.
"Gollum."
Chu Yan stretched out his hand to lift the wine jug, poured a full glass of wine, and handed it to Hua Xun: "I'm twenty years old this year." ”
Hua Xun's gaze shifted from her face to the steaming peach blossom brew, and she lost her mind for a moment.
"Before I came to Huacheng, His Majesty announced that I had entered the palace and asked me a word." Chu Yan picked up the wine glass, lowered his head and blew the hot air gently.
Hua Xun came back to her senses and covered up the look on her face by drinking: "What did Your Majesty ask?" ”
Chu Yan paused and said calmly: "Your Majesty asked me, 'How old is Qing?' ’”
How old is Qing?
According to the law of Da Chen, a woman is married in twenty years at the latest.
The wind outside was gentle, but the cold was bone-chilling. Today is only the middle of January, no matter how gentle the wind is, it is still a bone scraping blade, the cold air rushes into the back, Hua Xun loosened her fist, and pulled the fox fur with her empty hand, she slowly spit out a mouthful of white mist, and the mist immediately dissipated in the cold wind.
"I don't know which son of the family is the commander of the county, but he is half as smart as me?"
Chu Yan smiled sullenly and raised his head to drink the wine in the cup. The wine entered her throat, warmed for a long time, and burned in her belly, heating her face.
"Not as good as you."
"That's half as beautiful as a flower?"
"Is there any reason to compare a man with a woman? Unbeatable! ”
"What if it compares?"
"Not as good as her."
Hua Xun also drank a full cup and snorted: "But you have one ten-thousandth of Taoluo?" ”
"Hmm...... Hehehehe......" Chu Yan shook his head and poured another glass of wine, "It's not as good as me." ”
"Then do you want to get married?"
Chu Yan stopped and looked at Hua Xun for a long time.
She suddenly laughed indulgently, looked at Hua Xun's eyes, raised her glass with one hand, and slowly swept the chess pieces on the chessboard to the ground with the other: "Ah Xun said that I am twenty years old, how can I not marry?" The black and white chess pieces smashed to the ground, like the sound of broken jade, and jumped to nowhere.
Hua Xun listened to her laughter and the crackling of chess pieces, smiled slightly, raised his glass and touched Chu Yan: "Hua Xun is sixteen years old, and he is about to be married, he is already an adult, and he is worried about his father." Ah Zhi is twelve years old, he is still young, and he is a gentleman, he should not be contaminated with flowers and plants, and learn from his daughter's family. She drank the wine and lit up the bottom of the glass, "Besides, Zhongci is my close friend, and Ning Wangfu and Huafu still have fate." ”
"It's not early, Ah Xun should rest early." Chu Yan put down the cup and got up.
Hua Xun also stood up and said to her: "It's cold tonight, does Zhongci need a slave to warm the bed?" ”
