Chapter 81: The Unusual Beginning of the Qionghua Feast
Qionghua is also known as "love flower".
It is said that it only grows in Qiongzhou and cannot survive there. Someone has transplanted it to other places, and the result is that it will die and annihilate without exception, from a few months to a few years. Princess Pingyang loved this flower deeply, and the horse spent countless manpower and material resources for Princess Bo to smile, intending to transplant it. It's just that, no matter how carefully cared for, in the end, it failed. Finally, someone mentioned yì and said that since this flower is affectionate, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and if the horse really has a heart, it may as well move the tree and soil together, or it may be able to feed.
When the horse heard this, he did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to bring up several feet of soil around the tree belt and transport it to Kyoto by ship. The result was too huge, but it couldn't enter the city gate.
Later, it was for this flower, the horse scattered all the wealth, in the suburbs of the city to divide the circle of ten miles, after several years, spent countless manpower and material resources, and finally built a beautiful wheel, can be called the fairyland of the Qionghua Villa.
I don't know if there is such a lot of homeland, or the true feelings of the horse moved it, this Qionghua that grew in Qiongzhou really survived, and after a few years, finally bloomed a beautiful Qionghua.
The weirdest thing is-
In the same year that the flowers bloomed, the colt died.
People die, but the flowers bloom as scheduled every year, and they bloom more and more wantonly and vibrant year by year, as if the soul of the horse is guarding Qionghua and guarding the princess.
The story of Qionghua Villa is the most poignant legend in the capital, and compared with the legendary love stories in the book, the young people in the capital are more moved, because this is a living thing that happened around them, and the time is not far away. It's only been ten years since the horse died.
Countless young girls in the capital take the horse as an example when they secretly think about their future husbands. If you can get such an infatuated husband, even if you die immediately, you will have no regrets.
And there is a legend that if a man and a woman get married under the Qionghua tree, they will be blessed by the horse and will be able to live forever.
It's just that Qionghua Villa is a royal territory, and ordinary people can't be close to each other, let alone get married under the Qionghua tree. (.) Every year, only in the month when Qionghua blooms, Qionghua Villa will open its mysterious door, and only the young lady who holds the Qionghua post and the young talent who can enter the Qionghua sub-post.
Just like the Qionghua blooms in January, the Qionghua Villa is only open in January.
On the first twenty days, only the ladies who received the Qionghua post could enter; In the next ten days, the sons who received the Qionghua sub-post will be stationed in Qionghua Villa and start a dream-like banquet.
Every year, the Qionghua Banquet will more or less achieve several pairs of marriages, but there are also a lot of regrets that the flowers are intentionally ruthless, in this era when only the words of the parents can be matched, this Qionghua Banquet recognized by the elders is an extremely rare opportunity, and is jokingly called the highest blind date.
On the first day of April, the first day of the opening of Qionghua Villa.
Last night it rained a heavy spring rain, although not very big, but today, the air is still moist and wet, the road does not see the dust that covers the sky in the north, the leaves of the trees on both sides are washed green and pleasant, the water droplets gathered on the leaves, crystal clear, the wind blows, rolls down the wind, reflects the morning light, fresh and intoxicating.
The sky is about to dawn, and the sun has not yet risen, and the outer gate of Qionghua Villa is slowly opening in the roar.
The sergeants of the Royal Forest Army in charge of the guards were all erect and striding heroically and heroically against the usual decadent energy.
Seeing them like this, an old bird yawned lazily and stretched out its long legs like this.
A rookie "plopped" and fell on the bluestone paved pavement. The rookie jumped up suddenly, patting his newly changed Imperial Uniform and glaring at the man who kicked him.
"Yao Jian, don't fucking think that Lao Tzu is afraid of you when you kicked you in the past. Sue you, whoever dares to mess with me today, I will be anxious with him. Mom, if you don't break out, you don't know that Lao Tzu Takeda is not easy to mess with, is it? ”
The delicate-looking Takeda glared at Yao Jian, who was heroic and had very manly facial features.
Yao Jian is the oldest of them, and he is also the leader of several of them, and several of them usually support him and listen to him for everything. Today, however, is a big exception, and no one can touch him.
Takeda's eyes were red.
Yao Jian glanced at Takeda with disdain.
"Bunny, you know what you're thinking. Do your daydreaming, those ladies just pass by here, and you can't see what she looks like in the carriage. What you look like, even if she sees it, she can't remember it at all. Who is this ghost to see? It's better to live a down-to-earth life, and hurry up and ask your mother to set a family affair for you. I think the girl who brought you clothes last time was good. ”
"You have to take care of it!"
Takeda blushed, and he didn't have time to quarrel with Yao Jian, so he patted the clothes on his body lovingly.
Yao Jian shook his head and said lazily: "Okay, don't pretend to be such a ghost." Let me tell you, the ladies live in the city, get up and dress up, have breakfast, and say goodbye to their families, and come early at about the end of the hour. Those who stayed late and those who lived farther away from the nearby counties came until the afternoon. It's still early! ”
As soon as these words fell, the few who were still standing straight immediately fell apart, along with the Takeda just now. It's also tiring to maintain this position all the time. Usually working on an errand in such a place where half a person is idle, is there a future, and who would take it too seriously?
After a while, my muscles started to ache.
All the sergeants were crooked here and there, and they didn't 'form' into human shapes.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and everyone came to their senses, and the carriage was already approaching. With a few meters to go, the coachman waved his whip, stopped the carriage steadily, and jumped down.
Bowing slightly, he said respectfully beside the carriage: "Miss, wait a moment, wait until I go and ask these sergeants, and then come back and forth to Miss." ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
A touching female voice came from the carriage.
The sergeants, who were still staggering just now, suddenly jumped up as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. It's just that, because he was in too much of a hurry, one was careless, his ankle was there, there was a "pop", one and the other collided together, and the other was even worse, somehow, it hit the door frame, and there was a loud bang, and then, with gold stars in his eyes, his body fell softly, and he muttered with a smirk and a dream: "It's true, it's so good." ”
There was a mess in front of the gate, and when the coachman saw it, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
When I came over, I saw that the defense was very loose, and now, it is even more different. It is really not reassuring to let the young lady live under such a guard for more than twenty days. But there is no way, who can only call the only one who can go in is the young lady who holds the Qionghua post, and even the girl can't bring it, let alone a man.
The coachman forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and asked with a smile: "My master is here to attend Princess Pingyang's Qionghua banquet, this is an invitation, may I ask?" ”
In a short time, a coachman and a maid of the palace came and led the carriage inside.
The coachman's posture is very old-fashioned, and the palace maid is also very extraordinary, after all, it is in the palace, and the temperament is different, the coachman finally felt what is called the royal style, but when he turned his eyes, he saw the group of royal guards who were finally standing up, and the dust on their clothes had not been patted clean, and they were suddenly disillusioned.
They didn't bother to say hello, and the coachman only left them with a disdainful look, jumped on the car, waved his whip, and walked away.
It was despised shì!
It was completely despised!
I was completely despised by the beautiful coachman!
The wind blew down, and the rain from the trees by the gate fell on their faces, and suddenly, they pulled out the cold. The sergeants were silent and silent at first, and suddenly, it wasn't just who took the lead in rushing towards Yao Jian.
"Who did you say that you won't come until the end of the hour?"
Their plan to meet the beauty is gone! The beginning of a legend begins in 鄙shì and ends in 鄙shì!
The grief-stricken sergeants fiercely pressed Yao Jian to the ground, Haibian, Haibian, and a pig's face. And Yao Jian felt extremely wronged, all the past few years have been like this, how did he know that such a strange thing would come this year?
Yao Jian looked up to the sky and sang sadly.
Injustice! Injustice!
I'm fucking more wronged than Dou E!
After such a play, the Royal Forest Army broke the jar and fell, and under the group, no one could be intact. However, they are all greeted on the face, and you can still see the despicable meaning hidden by some people, and the face of this little white face is crippled, maybe I will come out, the so-called beauty, to be particularly prominent against the background! It's a pity that those who harm others will harm them, and the final result is that no one's face is intact.
After that, the sergeants carried a face of Zhu Bajie and the body of a beautiful man, and they all carried out their tasks in high spirits. We are ugly, but we are gentle.
Don't they all say "good actress with Lai Han"?
Perhaps, the beauties will be conquered by our ugly gentleness. Until the last moment, after a year of idleness, they will not give up if they finally have a little hope.
It's a pity that they have worked hard for a long time, and no carriage has ever arrived in advance.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that after this Qionghua banquet, there are several "most" in the capital, one of which is that this year's Royal Forest Army responsible for guarding, especially those at the gate, has the ugliest face of the Royal Forest Army in history, so ugly that everyone has a pig face with a blue nose and swollen face, known as the "Bajie brothers". I don't know if there will be any girl who will have the courage to marry these Bajie brothers without being teased? This is the process of the arrival of the first guest of the Qionghua Banquet. The prologue has officially opened, and the excitement is just around the corner.
