Chapter 31: The Festival of Flowers

The evening glow stained the entire sky red, and the gorgeous halo seemed to be stacked with the breeze, which was very layered.

In the two-story pavilion of Huanqiu Garden, An Ning was standing in front of the curtain with a helpless face.

Miss has slept since yesterday until now, and there is still no sign of waking up, how can she do this without eating or drinking?

After pursing her lips and thinking for a moment, An Ning snickered and went outside to brew tea.

I chose a fragrant dragon well, plus a few jasmine flowers, and washed the hot water into it. Then An Ning took the teapot and the white jade cup to Qing Li's bedside, brought a small square table and waited aside.

Miss likes to drink tea, and her sensitivity to the fragrance of tea is quite high, if she calls Miss to wake up now, maybe she will bring some wake-up gas, but if she wakes up with the smell of tea, then everyone will be happy!

An Ning waited silently.

After calculating the time, the tea leaves are almost stretched, and the faint fragrance of tea wafts out, which is the best time to drink.

Pour out all the tea in the pot and soak it in the white jade cup, then take out the cup after a while, re-pour boiling water into the pot, and gently shake the body of the pot to make the tea and water completely integrated.

This tea-making technique was taught by the young lady, because the tea brewed in this way is particularly fragrant, so she brews it like this every time.

Now under such a toss, the fragrance of tea has already spread, and the tip of the person's nose on the bed moved slightly for a while and sighed, "It's so fragrant!" ”

An Ning chuckled, knowing that this would work!

"Miss, get up, we've slept all day and night!" There was some grumbling in her tone, but there was still a smile on her lips.

Qing Li stretched his body lazily and couldn't help but moan. What a good night's sleep!

Looking sideways at the tranquility outside the tent and the square table at the head of the bed, he couldn't help but praise, "I'm really getting smarter!" With a smile, she got up too.

An Ning handed the white jade cup containing the tender yellow tea to Qing Li, who sniffed slightly and praised: "Well, your tea-making skills are getting better and better!" I don't know what to do if I get married in the future! ”

I still remember that she just taught it casually, but I didn't expect this girl to be able to master it better than her.

An Ning couldn't help blushing when she heard this, stomped her feet and said, "Miss, don't make fun of me, An Ning will follow Miss all her life." ”

She lowered her head, hiding the glimmer in her eyes, and her face burned even more.

Qing Li doesn't buy it, this girl has always been cautious and steady, it's rare to be so cute, she has to laugh at it!

"That's not going to work! I can't miss your life's work, but I have to think about it! Qing Li looked at the face that was getting redder and redder, and thought it was very funny.

She thought for a while, "The matchmaker on the East Street line, he has a lot of portraits of sons and brothers." Change the day, I asked Ziya to fetch it, so you can take a good look. ”

Qing Li said happily, An Ning suddenly became anxious, and pouted: "If Miss says this again, I will ignore you!" She turned her back to hide the loneliness in her eyes.

She has always been very sensitive to other people's feelings, and Qing Li naturally felt the dullness of Anning, although she pretended to be no different from usual.

Thinking about what she said just now, Qing Li didn't feel anything special, what made this girl uneasy?

Isn't it...... Got someone you like?

Qing Li felt that this possibility was extremely promising.

If An Ning really has a sweetheart, and the other party is not bad, she is happy to contribute to it!

Just as he was about to test it, Lan Xi happened to come in with a pot of chestnut cake.

"Miss is awake!" Lan Xi walked quickly to Qing Li and said with a smile: "What about the chestnut cake that just came out of the pot, Miss eat it quickly!" It tastes good! ”

Lan Xi said happily, An Ning sneered, took out a handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs on the corner of Lan Xi's mouth, and said angrily: "You, you don't wipe when you eat!" ”

What a little gluttonous cat!

Qing Li was also happy, took the pot of chestnut cake that was obviously missing a few pieces and ate it, it was sweet and crispy, and the taste was really good.

I didn't feel it when I fell asleep just now, but now I realize that I am really hungry.

An Ning saw that she was in a bit of a hurry, and hurriedly poured another cup of tea, but when she thought it was wrong, she said: "Miss, don't eat it first, this chestnut cake is too much to digest, and it's not dinner time yet, so I'll go to the kitchen to urge." ”

Saying that, she was about to go outside the house, but Qing Li hurriedly stopped her, "Okay, this chestnut flour is finely ground, it doesn't matter if you eat more, don't be so troublesome!" "What's more, she has just gotten up, and she should not eat too much, a few pastries are enough.

When they heard her say this, they also stood still. Lan Xi is more active, she is not used to staying all the time, and Qing Li never asks them to talk about any rules.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lan Xi approached Qing Li and said happily: "Miss, today is the Flower Festival!" Now the city is full of flowers, but it looks good! ”

She said with a fluttering eyebrow and dancing with her hands to show her excitement, and even those big eyes were full of brilliance.

Qing Li smiled dotingly, raised his eyebrows and teased: "Do you want to go out to play?" Or do you want to try how many admirers you Lan girl can have? ”

The light swept lightly, and Lan Xi was not ashamed, but he straightened his chest, as if he was full of confidence. Qing Li and An Ning couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

There is such a festival in ink painting, and every year on March 15, it is the time when the flowers are in full bloom, and it is also the time when the moon is full in mid-January.

Men and women of the right age and who have never been married can go out on this evening, each wearing a mask, and the man will hold a peach blossom branch, which can be handed to the girl he likes.

If the girl also has a good impression of each other, the two can play together and get acquainted, but if the girls don't feel it, they can also refuse.

Sometimes, women with outstanding temperament are very popular and receive many peach blossom branches. Evolved to the present, there is a conventional competition among the women, who receives more peach blossom branches, and this person is more popular.

Gradually, this flower festival has become a day for the ladies and ladies of the capital to compare with each other, but they have forgotten the meaning of friendship at the beginning.

Qing Li was not in Kyoto in previous years, so naturally he would not participate, but now, because he felt bored, he didn't go to join in the fun, and he always stayed at home.

Now Lan Xi is just in time, and now she is so interested, of course she will not object, so she said softly: "Okay, then go and pay attention to it." ”

This girl is alive, if she stays in the study to read, she won't be happy!

Of course Lanxi is happy, but it's always bad to go alone! So he sprinkled again, "Miss, how embarrassed people are to be alone!" Why don't you go with you! And Anning, let's go together, okay! ”

She shook Qing Li's arm, her big eyes full of pleading.

As soon as An Ning heard this unreliable idea, she immediately refuted: "You, don't call me if you want to play!" I'm not going! ”

She turned her face, "What's more, the young lady is a person with a royal marriage contract, how can they mess around together!" ”

An Ning's words were reasonable, and Ke Lanxi collapsed when she heard it. Miss can't go, and Anning can't go, how boring she is alone!

Thinking so, Lan Xi's little head drooped and muttered softly: "Then let's not go......"

The tone of these words was said in a thousand turns, as if he had been wronged, and there was a faint cry.

Qing Li couldn't see her so sluggish, and looked at An Ning's self-contained appearance, and suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you go, anyway, if you wear a mask, people won't recognize it." ”

Of course, Lan Xi was happy and nodded hurriedly to say yes, while An Ning was surprised and looked at Qing Li in disbelief.

Miss has never liked to be lively, how can she be so interested today?

In fact, Qing Li is not for any fun!

She agreed to this, firstly, because she didn't want Lanxi to be uncomfortable, and secondly, why didn't she come...... She also wanted to find out about An Ning's crush, maybe she was relieved in that atmosphere!

Thinking that this idea was good, Qing Li nodded lightly, "An Ning Lanxi, let's go to this night market together tonight, maybe there's something fun!" ”
