94 Feeling unwell
Chu Yanqiang held back a smile, shook his head and said: "Thousands of miles of frost and cold snow are sealed, and thousands of styles offer a long winter." Whose owner hates this, the proud begonia laughs at the green pine. ”
"The talent is unique and impressive, and the flowers are different." Knowing that Chu Yan laughed at her begonia flowers that insisted on following the season and refused to give in, Hua Xun had an idea and opened her mouth to praise the begonias.
This boast is that the begonia flower actually alludes to Chu Yan, who is young but is a daughter, who is as talented as that begonia flower, smiling proudly, and beating all outstanding women.
"Even if it is splendid and snowy, and smile for thousands of years." Obviously saying that the rivers and mountains are thousands of miles of frost and snow, Begonia smiled at the flowers and plants that want to live forever but have an empty dream for thousands of years, proud of the world, but what he actually said is that Chu Yan is just a layman after all, thinking that she is unwilling to give in to Begonia flowers.
The surprise in Chu Yan's eyes flashed, she didn't expect Hua Xun to be so smart, it was really a strange woman.
Chu Yan stayed in Huafu for two days and then set off to return to the palace to resume his life. Before leaving, she specially informed the flower inquiry that she would come to the flower city to find the flower inquiry when she had time.
Although the two only got along for two days, they were impressed by each other's talent and bearing. Chu Yan has seen the son Hua Yan, and compared Hua Yan with Hua Xun, and made a judgment, Hua Yan is far less smart than Hua Xun.
After sending Chu Yan away, Huafu returned to a peaceful life. The next day, in February, Hua Xun made a request to Hua Junhou to go down to the flower field.
Hua Junhou didn't agree at first, after all, there was no talk of Miss Huafu going down to the flower field in person. And the weather is still cold, Hua Xun is different from the past, he is already the lord of Huai'an County, how can he go to the field.
But Hua Xun took out one thing that Hua Junhou promised her last year, and Hua Junhou could only agree to her in order not to break his promise, but proposed a special arrangement.
was able to go down to the flower field, and Hua Xun naturally agreed.
February 12 is the annual Flower God Festival, also known as the Flower Dynasty Festival. In the poem, the cloud: "The birthday of a hundred flowers is a good day, and the flowers are not half spring." Thousands of purples and thousands of reds are draped in splendor, and Shang Lao is embellished with the god of flowers. This is a festival that has existed since ancient times. Every flower god festival, all the young men and women in the city need to drink flower tea and taste flower wine in the morning, there will be all kinds of flowers sold in the city at this time, and the food and drink are mostly flower food. The family and scholars held a banquet to meet, the literati and the scholars went out to plant flowers, and the common people would also make lanterns and drums to celebrate by chatting.
In previous years, the Flower God Festival was too shou fu to do the east, and young talents were invited to gather in the Taishou Mansion to enjoy the flowers and chant poems, and everyone was at home Chen Xiang set up a case, begging for the blessing of the flower god, youth and agelessness, and a good marriage. This year, because the eldest lady of Huafu was named the lord of Huai'an County, Huafu and Taishou Mansion joined forces to set up a flower meeting in Huafu, and invited a talented man to compose poems and lyrics.
Huafu is the prince's mansion, and among the big flower counties of the mansion, only Ning Wangfu can be compared. Rockery flowers and plants, flowing water goose stones, are all superior. In addition to the backyard where the ladies lived, the garden vestibule was open to everyone.
Hua Xun was still young and couldn't attend the flower party, but Hua Junhou loved her very much, and Hua Xun thought of an idea and let Hua Junhou respond. The flower party of the ladies is presided over by the flower official, and the young lady of Taishou is last year's flower official, and she will also succeed her this year.
According to the status of the seat, Hua Xun naturally sat on the top position, but how could there be a six-year-old son to be the chairman of the flower official, Hua Xun arrived and picked up the first seat on the lower right, and Lily of the Valley stood behind him.
Everyone was almost there, and Miss Taishou was late with the two maids. Miss Taishou's maiden name is Magnolia, and she is a well-known Hui quality orchid heart. She knocked on the door and came in, and saw Hua Xun happily eating pastries under the main seat, just to be a "non-guest", so she walked up to Hua Xun and said with a smile: "The lord of Huai'an County is the most honorable of my sisters, why don't you sit down?" ”
Hua Xun was eating peach blossom cake and money candy, staring at plum blossom cake, tangram dim sum, flower blossom wealth and other cold snacks, and holding a cup filled with peach blossom brew in his hand, as if he had never eaten so many things.
When she heard someone ask, she swallowed what was in her mouth unhurriedly, raised her head and showed an innocent smile: "Ah, Sister Yu is a flower official, and she should be seated." Hua Xun is just a fun look at the novelty, don't pay attention to me. ”
"The county lord of Huai'an, please take a seat......" Yulan still wanted to persuade again.
Hua Xun interrupted her: "Sister Yulan, don't miss the hour, please take a seat." She raised her glass, smiled and toasted her, and took a sip from her sleeve.
Caiyan racked his brains to make a fuss at the front, and the article was sent to the back by the little guy. After the ladies received the article in their hands and appreciated it, they all commented on those talents, and if they were proud, they could also give back a peach blossom. The one who gets the most peach blossoms, the talented son will be named the first son of the flower club, and his reputation will leap above all the talents.
When the flowers bloomed to the fullest, more than a dozen poems had been passed down in front. The ladies are very favored by the sons of the eight or nine leading people, and some even give books privately, asking the sons to go to enjoy the lanterns tonight and go out tomorrow.
Others listened to a stomach of poems, Hua Xun ate a stomach of pastries, anyway, she was young and respectful here, and no one would deliberately come to her to trouble, she ate and drank by herself, and was clean.
She wiped her mouth with a brocade handkerchief and yawned heartily. She was sleepy again, and several times she wanted to lie on the desk and fall asleep directly. Not to mention that Yu Li is not in agreement, even if she is really asked to lie down and sleep in front of so many people, she will not dare.
Seeing that she was sleepy, Lily of the Valley leaned down and asked in a low voice, "Little master, do you want to go back to rest?" I dreamed again last night, and I should be tired. ”
I don't know when, Hua Xun has been dreaming, continuously. When I woke up the next day, I forgot everything I had in my dreams, and I didn't remember anything I had dreamed about. She didn't think much of it at first, but because of her frequent dreams lately, she didn't have much energy during the day. Hua Junhou also specially invited a medical officer to come and see for this, but the medical officer found no cause and did not dare to diagnose indiscriminately, so he ate some medicinal food of Peiyuan Guben and barely supported his body.
Hua Xun looked at Magnolia and saw that she was commenting on the poems, but she just didn't want to pay attention to her. He nodded and stood up with Lily of the Valley's hand. was about to retreat, but he heard someone behind him: "Lord Huai'an, slow down." ”
Looking back, Magnolia held the flower stick and got up to come to her.
"Since it's the Flower God Festival, this flower lottery is bound to be drawn. It's just that in the past, it was the flower official who officiated, but this year, the Huai'an County Lord was also invited to draw this flower lot. ”
"I'm afraid this is a violation, right?" Hua Xun refused, "In previous years, I was a flower official, so I just did it this year." The little girl didn't dare to trespass. ”
Yulan walked over, saluted her, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows that there are flower fairies in the flower city, and a hundred flowers bloom on her birthday." The county lord is not only His Majesty's entitlement, but also rumored to be a flower fairy, and the flower fairy draws lots, isn't it just right? ”
She looked around at everyone in the hall, pursed her lips and smiled, "What do the sisters think?" ”
"Hua Guan has a point." The crowd replied.
Hua Xun was silent for a while, and it was not good to refuse, otherwise it would be difficult for Miss Taishou to step down. She nodded, and Shi Shiran saluted and said, "The little girl confesses her feelings, but she is disrespectful." Ladies and gentlemen, wait a moment for me to go back and change my clothes, and I will pay respect. ”
Yulan returned a salute: "The county lord will go." ”
Without saying anything more, Hua Xun turned around and left. Out of the door, Lily of the Valley dared to speak: "The little master is good, I drew a lot, but I should respond to the words of the flower fairy." ”
"What do you say?" Hua Xun muttered, "It's just nonsense! How can you believe it? ”
"What did the little master say?"
Hua Xun quickened his pace and said, "I said let's go quickly, don't let Miss Yu wait for a long time." ”
I can't sleep. Hua Xun washed his face with warm water, changed his clothes again, and felt more energetic before yawning and walking back.
When I returned to the hall, the peach blossoms given by the flower official had already been given. Hua Xun didn't know the rules here, and thought that drawing a flower lot was to kneel and bow, read according to the prayer, and then you could draw a flower lot.
There is certainly a difference between what is imagined and what is experienced. When the moon shines in the sky, the flower official takes everyone through a bunch of red tape, worships three times and knocks nine times, makes eulogies, burns incense and prays. Later, after drawing the flower lot, you have to drip blood to feed the flowers, in order to show the flesh and bones of the flowers.
Hua Xun's body is not very good, it is uncomfortable to kowtow like this, but she tried to restrain herself as much as possible, and when she learned that she was going to drip blood, her face was almost white. It's just that she has a good cultivation, but she is not allowed to retreat and regret it. Magnolia brought a silver spoon and scooped a handful of soil from the ground into the pot. Looking back at Hua Xun, the surprise in his eyes flashed. After taking the prayer and reciting it, the flower official took the sticker.
The wooden stick holder is large and heavy, and eighty-one flower sticks are all packed into the stick holder. When Hua Xun took the stick, she only felt that she was sinking badly, biting her lip and enduring, she calmed down and shook the sticker.
Before the flower sign came out, someone suddenly bumped into it from behind. Hua Xun was caught off guard and threw the sticker out, and the sticker smashed on the incense case, and the flower sticks were scattered all over the ground.
"Ahh
"Smack-"
Hua Xun hurriedly turned around to look, and saw that Yulan, who was originally standing half a step behind her, fell to the ground, her face pale, and the kneeling ladies froze in place in amazement, and none of them helped her.
"Hurry up and help the flower officer up!" Hua Xun shouted.
The maidservants who came back to their senses hurriedly went to help Yulan. Hua Xun stood on tiptoe and looked into the crowd, and saw that Yulan seemed to have passed out, and her heart was suspicious.
Hua Xun had an idea, and immediately said: "Everyone take care of Sister Yu, I'll go find someone to take a look!" ”
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he stepped back.
"This ......"
"What's going on......"
“…… Is Sister Jade okay? ”
Yulan held her forehead, shook her head and said, "Go and pick up the stick!" It's all my fault, and I blame myself for not being able to stand firm. "I barely stood up, but I felt dizzy.
Hua Xun took the opportunity to leave, Lily of the Valley followed her quickly, and the two of them went back to the room. Several servants came back in a panic when they saw Hua Xun, and they didn't know what was going on.
"Lily of the valley, did you see Miss Yu just now, how did she fall and hit me?"
"Didn't the Jade Girl fall to the ground by herself?"
As soon as she ......opened her mouth, Hua Xun was stunned, and her two shallow eyebrows were tangled.
She was puzzled and tilted her head to think. Walk over to the table and sit down, with your chin propped up and pondering.
"Ahh Not good! Hua Xun suddenly screamed.
Zeeland opened the curtain and came in, and when he heard this, he wondered, "What is good?" ”
"Zelan, you've just in time!" Hua Xun said happily, "Quick! You tell the people outside that I'm frightened and unwell and resting. It is better for the flower officer to draw lots. Go, go, go! ”
Zeeland stood still, not knowing why, but he still went out the door.
Hua Xun rested for a while, and about late at night everyone dispersed. In front of her, Hua Junhou had already sent someone to question, and Pei Lan said that Hua Xun was asleep, but she just hid in bed and closed her eyes and did not fall asleep.
