Chapter 18 My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman

In September, as soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously implemented the new policy to appease the people. When the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the people of Beijing have the idea of going out to appreciate the chrysanthemums.

On this day, just in time for Dongfang Yixiu, he made an early appointment with Weihuan to go to the chrysanthemum garden in the back garden of Bai Yujing to see the flowers.

Bai Yujing is a resort in Beijing, and the chrysanthemum garden in Bai Yujing is even more prosperous. Mr. Jie, the owner, loves chrysanthemums, and collects famous products and species from various countries and transplants them into the back garden, and over time, it has become a chrysanthemum resort. When the chrysanthemums are in full bloom in autumn, they always attract a large number of tourists to watch, and the rooms on the Bai Yujing Restaurant are often full.

Dongfang Yi and Wei Wan walked among the flowers.

Under the autumn sun, Wei Wan wore a bandeau embroidered with an army green embroidered parrot and plum, a bright yellow translucent gauze skirt and a large-sleeved shirt embroidered with large pink chrysanthemums, and branches and leaves embroidered with gold thread, silver thread, and army green silk thread into a ruyi pattern; The shiny hair on his head is tied in a simple bun at the back of his head, and a large chrysanthemum hairpin made of red golden citrine is inserted on it, which makes the skin on the back of his neck more and more snow-white and delicate.

Wei Wan rarely wears this warm and bright color, occasionally wearing, when it is really beautiful eyebrows like smoke and affection, eyes like autumn waves charming, delicate drips, dripping delicate red lips with a smile, adding a different kind of gorgeous and sultry style.

Dongfang Yi picked a big red spoon of lotus chrysanthemum and put it on the sideburns, then took a few steps back and looked at it, then sighed and shook his head.

Wei Wan worried: "Isn't it good-looking?" ”

Dongfang Yi sighed: "Xiao Sheng thinks that this chrysanthemum must have a grudge against Xiao Sheng in his heart, so he sighs." ”

Wei Wan was puzzled: "Why does Chrysanthemum resent you? ”

Dongfang Yi said seriously: "You think how beautiful this spoonful of lotus grapes is on the branches. The hairpin to the beauty sideburns, if you want to come to the flower to reflect the beauty's face, it will add color to the beauty, that is because the flower is more beautiful than the person, if the flower and jade look are comparable, they will complement each other. Now that you are more delicate than flowers, you have made this chrysanthemum lose its color, and it will blame me aggrievedly. ”

was originally a flamboyant remark, but he said it seriously, but Wan couldn't hold it and said with a smile: "Rhetoric." He picked the flowers on his head and wanted to hit him, but Dongfang Yiyi grabbed his little hand, so he said in fear: "Don't throw it away, this flower is Lao Jie's life." I picked flowers for you to wear, but he didn't want to see it, and it was hard to say anything. If you lose it, he will fight with me. ”

As soon as the words fell, an angry voice said, "You still know! Quickly pay me a hundred taels of gold! ”

With these words, Mr. Jie and the four men and women strode over.

Mr. Jie's blue eyes are angry, the corners of his lips are angry, his long hair is scattered, and his skin is whiter than snow; Wearing a snow-green straight jacket, his waist is still untied, and the wide clothes flutter on his body. He frowned, stared at Dongfang Yi with blue eyes, pointed to the ebony wisp sign standing on the bluestone road, and said, "Can you see it clearly?" Knowingly, the fine will be increased tenfold! ”

The ebony carved empty sign is engraved with a line of words: Do not pick the flowers, violators will be fined ten taels.

Dongfang Yi smiled and saluted, "Why are you bothered, Brother Jie? Although your chrysanthemum is beautiful, it is rare to meet a beauty like my family. Now this chrysanthemum is fortunate to have beauties fragrant sideburns, which is really gratifying, what are you annoyed about? It's lost in elegance. ”

Mr. Jie was just about to argue, when he heard a person behind him say gently: "This is polite, and the chrysanthemum is full of its face, but in autumn, now it has entered everyone's eyes because of the beauty and remembered it in my heart, but it has survived forever." This chrysanthemum is lucky, lucky. ”

As soon as these words fell, he sneered, and said in a crisp voice: "Brother Yi, Brother Shen, I knew that you were the second general of civil and military affairs, and now you are bullying Mr. Jie here, Mr. Jie is going to cry." ”

Mr. Jie looked up to the sky and sighed, making a desolate appearance with nowhere to say, and said: "I have long been bullied by their two scoundrels, one martial and one civilian, and I want to cry without tears. ”

Dongfang Yi comforted: "Brother Jie, don't worry, brother brought the best autumn crabs today, which are a specialty of the Western Autumn Kingdom, they are all alive, raised with ice water, and transported all the way to 800 miles in an expedited manner." Brother thought that this thing was rare, and he was ashamed to enjoy it, so he brought it to Brother Jie and all the brothers and sisters to try it. ”

Xiqiu Kingdom is an island country located in the southwest of the Middle Zhou Empire, surrounded by water, the four seasons are like spring, aquatic products and fruits are the most delicious, especially famous for crabs.

As soon as Mr. Jie heard that there were crabs from Xiqiu Kingdom to eat, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he grabbed Dongfang Yi's wrist and said, "Where are the crabs?" ”

Dongfang Yi shook his hand and shook him away, and said with a smile: "Pull and pull, what kind of system!" My aunt is going to be jealous. ”

Mr. Jie then remembered that there were still female guests, and his greedy appearance was in the eyes of these female guests, so he was a little embarrassed, and waved to Wei Wan in a sneering manner, and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, and the lady has always been good?" ”

Or Wei Wan just entered Beijing when he saw it, after more than five months, he saw Wei Wan for the second time, I feel that Wei Wan has changed a lot, the anxiety and anxiety when I first entered Beijing are gone, replaced by certainty and satisfaction, I know that she is living a good life at this time.

Wei Wan was originally amused by his greedy appearance, covered her lips with a fan and smiled, and at this time she was busy returning the salute, smiling softly: "I'm fine." Brother Jie is straightforward and sincere, he is a real man, a big husband. ”

When Mr. Jie heard this, his sneer disappeared, and he said triumphantly to Dongfang: "Do you hear me?" It's a real celebrity who is self-effacing. Wan Niang is a knowledgeable person. ”

The woman who had spoken earlier covered her mouth, her crescent-like eyes smiling. Wei Wan saw that her face was like a bright moon, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like stars, her nose was like a hanging gall, her lips were round, plump and round; Medium stature, willow-shouldered and snake-waisted; Wearing a bandeau embroidered with pink and white peonies, an apricot-colored smoke skirt, and a coat of the same color, the skirt is embroidered with a flamboyant freehand crane Ruyi pattern; Combed the snake bun, and the crow crow used a red butterfly hairpin on the sideburns of a big red peony. The smile is open, the expression is bold, it is really luxurious and beautiful, lively and generous.

Wei Wan saw that she was somewhat similar to Princess Wanhua, so she ignored the etiquette and looked at her distractedly.

The woman was not annoyed, and took the initiative to come forward to salute, saying, "Sister is the only lady in the waiting house?" I am Zhaohua of Qingping Palace, and Princess Wanhua is my sister. ”

When Wei Wan heard this, she held her jade hand, and said happily: "Lord Zhaohua is good." I made friends with the princess ......" Before the words were finished, I choked up, and then I thought about it, it was a happy day, how could I mention sad things? suppressed the sadness in his heart and said with a smile: "Lord Zhaohua is as beautiful as Sister Ling." ”

Lord Zhaohua said: "I'm not as good as my sister." As he spoke, his face turned pale.

Dongfang Yi smiled and played a round game: "The two beauties don't need to be modest, if you are not beautiful, you don't even rely on these chrysanthemums." As he spoke, he shook Weihuan's hand, brought her to a man, and introduced: "This is my friend who grew up with my children, Shen Lang Shen Taotian." ”

Wei Wan had already seen that this man was of medium height, his figure looked a little weak, and his face was not very handsome, but his expression was warm, his demeanor was noble, and he had a dusty and flying posture. The clothes he wore were also different from others, a straight jacket as colored as smoke, without any decoration on the clothes, only with different shades of ink, dragons and phoenixes dancing with wild grass poems, and only a black silk ribbon around his waist. It was obviously so simple and clean that it couldn't be simpler, but when he went to that station, people noticed him, and turned a blind eye to the richly dressed young man next to him and Huang Yueyao behind him.

It turned out that he was Princess Wanhua's lover, Shen Lang, Shen Tao!
