Chapter 513: Green Peony
Su Su always reacts slowly, sending belated blessings to the relatives, wishing the relatives and their families and friends a smooth and happy 15 years!
It's been a holiday these days, and it's very difficult to grab the computer and grab the time...... I had a cold and fever inexplicably...... It's late, sorry!
------Off topic------
The three mansions are all famous in Beijing, and the three mansions joined forces, picking the afternoon when there were few people, and cleaning up the release pond for two quarters of an hour, it was not a difficult thing, yes, less than two cups of tea, there was a news over there, and the idle people around the release pond had been cleaned up, and the ladies and ladies were invited to rejoice.
While everyone was resting and grooming, the guards had already gone to the release pond to clean up the field.
Thinking that the flowers were cut, it would be a waste if he didn't wear them and save them, Qiu Chen could also endure the twitching of his heart and liver, picked two double-petaled flowers and put them on the side of his bun, and took another one and put it on his wrist......
The girl promised to retreat, and after a while, while taking back a glass cup of clear water, she also brought a plate of green peonies...... This plate has different shapes, green peonies of different colors or light or dark colors, which are beautiful, but they make Qiu Chen really speechless. She didn't doubt the ability of those two unobtrusive princes to lose.
The peony peony that had just been saved in the hair, after more than half an hour, was no longer watery, Qiu Chen looked at the last two green peonies that were slightly wilted, and it was a bit of a pity, and told the girl to hold a glass bowl and fill it with water, and raise the two flowers. With clear water, the flowers should be able to delay the decline and last more beautiful time.
After a lively laugh, everyone drank a little smoky. simply ordered someone to remove the wine and food, and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Wang asked for hot tea to drink, take a nap and relieve the hangover. Qiu Chen took the three little girls to the clean room to freshen up.
Qiu Chen ordered the girl to bring all kinds of silk threads, and wore the peony and peony, or on the chest placket, or on the waist, and also on the wrist, Song Xi'er liked to be the most lively, and wore the remaining four or five peony and peony into a string, and then passed the flower and beat the drum, and whoever the flower fell, he hung the wreath on the neck, but he didn't expect that one did not notice, the wreath actually fell into the hands of Mrs. Song, Mrs. Song was very open-minded, willing to lose the bet, and let Song Xi'er and Man'er The two girls hang the wreath on her neck.
Old Madam Song smiled and tapped her head, and everyone else praised it.
"It's a pity to throw such a good flower like this...... According to me, it's also great to pick one of them, save one for your hair, and put another on your clothes and wrists! Song Xi'er smiled and said.
With the inquiry just now, although everyone was a little puzzled this time, no one asked again, and Qiu Chen only signaled Mama Chen to take a big reward to the acquaintance, and took two plates of flowers.
In other words, no matter who of these two people inherits the unification, can they really be a good emperor? With such a ruined method, I really doubt that it will defeat the ancestral foundation!
This time the excitement has just stopped, and after drinking a cup of wine, there is another monk with a little novice holding two plates of flowers, this time, Qiu Chen saw at a glance two excellent green peonies on one of the plates, and couldn't help but be surprised, King Yong and King Fu These two babies smoked again, just sent once, this sent again, and this time the flowers are more expensive than the others...... Even Qiu Chen's family is now rich, and he is really distressed when he sees the formation of this loser.
Everyone chose their favorite flowers and saved them in the hair, and the rest of Qiu Chen rewarded the girls who were waiting, so that there was a happy color up and down.
Qiu Chen wore a light bamboo-colored long gown today, with a thin white line and a white silk skirt, she wanted a green peony, but there was no one on the plate. Come to think of it, green peony and peony are extremely rare products, and if they are a little better, they are worth a lot of money, so how can they be cut off and saved for people! So, I chose a small yellow hydrangea peony and let the girl save it on the side of her bun.
These two plates of peony and peony are very good, and most of them are famous treasures, among which a black peony in the blood dragon lying ink pool is the most graceful and luxurious, and it was pushed by everyone to the hair of Mrs. Song. Another hibiscus pink double petal and peony medicine was pushed to Wang Jingshu, and now she has a not-so-good sign, and at this time, everyone will give her the famous flowers second only to Mrs. Song, and there is also some relief in it.
"Then there is Master Lao!" Qiu Chen responded with a smile, signaled Mama Chen to take the girl forward to take the two plates of flowers, and handed a reward purse of five taels to the monk who folded his hands and thanked him, and turned around with the little novice.
"Oh, it turned out to be two princes!" When Qiu Chen heard the names of these two people, he was immediately relieved. Those two of them thought of themselves as her brothers, and since they sent them over, the younger brother bought a few flowers for his sister to wear, so you are not polite at all!
Zhike saluted and said: "Back to Mrs., these two plates of peony and peony were sent by the poor monks ordered by Prince Yong and Prince Fu. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang paused slightly, turned her eyes to look at the monk and asked, "Who asked you to send these flowers?" ”
On the other side, Mrs. Wang also said with a surprised face: "This is strange, the peonies and peonies in their temple are very expensive, and in previous years, there were also cut to save flowers, but they were all set in advance, how can they be so generous this year......
The monk still bowed respectfully and said, "Back to Madame, the poor monk is not mistaken, these two plates of flowers are indeed for Madame and Miss." ”
So, Qiu Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Did the little master make a mistake?" Didn't you say before that we booked late, and the peony and peony used to save flowers in the temple have already been set? These flowers are indeed gratifying, but if they are inadvertently mistaken and cause contradictions and misunderstandings, it is not appropriate. ”
Qiu Chen frowned slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Chen standing behind her, who shook his head and said that it was not what she ordered.
The acquaintance was also a courtesy, so he stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands folded and bowed to the female guests in the courtyard and asked: "This is the peony and peony planted in the small temple, cut and given to the ladies and ladies to save flowers for fun!" ”
Just when everyone in the courtyard was drunk, there were two monks from the temple who led two little novices to hold two trays of flowers, which were late-blooming peonies and first-blooming peonies.
Naturally, everyone responded with a smile and tasted its wonderful delicious vegetarian food. After eating four or five minutes full, the girl poured the warm vegetarian wine, everyone said and laughed, and they were not allowed to push politely, and drank at will, because the weather was good, the scenery was good, and the people were relatively close to the deed, this wine seemed to drink particularly smoothly, and after a while, the ladies and girls were dizzy and slightly drunk.
Mrs. Song picked up the chopsticks and greeted: "This kind of delicacy is in front of us, let's not look at it, let's feast first!" ”
As soon as the dishes were served, everyone was amazed. I saw the dishes in the bowl, there are fish and meat, there are chickens and ducks, not only the shape is similar and the color is realistic, but even the fragrance is not lost to all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, meat and meat dishes, which is mouth-watering.
After drinking a cup of tea, the monk of Baoguang Temple took the little novice and carried a large food box to send the vegetarian dishes and vegetarian wine. Naturally, there was a girl and a mother-in-law at the gate of the courtyard and then put it up.
Qiu Chen originally planned to do so, so naturally he had no objections, and immediately ordered to go down, but after a while, the girls and mothers-in-law arranged the high chairs, put out the vegetarian pastries and melons and fruits they brought, and brewed hot tea and sent them over.
Old Madam Song smiled and pointed at Mrs. Wang and said, "Let you say it with this clever mouth, which one can still say it badly!" ”
Mrs. Wang looked at the scenery of the small courtyard, smiled and pointed to the wisteria, and said: "If you want me to say, let's set a few under the wisteria, if it is cold and not hot in the painting, you can see the peony and peony in the garden when you raise your eyes...... Isn't it a pleasure to eat fast and enjoy flowers without delay? ”
In the late spring, the scenery is very good, the small yard is simple and elegant, a wisteria flower is in full bloom, and the purple flower spikes hang down in bunches, which makes people amazing. On the other side, there are a few peonies planted in the random fence yard, which have passed their prime, and have a slight decline, while some peonies have just bloomed, rich purple red, rich vermilion, delicate pale pink, delicate stamen, and yellow stamen...... It's really beautiful and beautiful!
In this Baoguang Temple, there are specially trained monks who receive and greet guests, and they are all selected young monks who are handsome, talkative, and have a good manners. If it were all ladies and wives, there were several young and noble girls who came here today, so naturally they would not let those monks come forward to greet them.
The group talked and laughed and went to the set yard for fasting.
Qiu Chen leaned on Old Madam Song and said with a smile: "Madame is thoughtful, let's listen to your arrangement!" ”
Old Madam Song held Qiu Chen's hand and patted it, "Well, what she said makes some sense. However, there are many happy people in the temple at noon, and since we are not in a hurry to return, we don't have to squeeze and shove with those people here...... After using vegetarian food, after the morning, there will naturally be fewer tourists in the temple, let's send someone to clear the field and come out, and then go to rejoice is not too late! ”
Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in surprise: "I knew about the release of animals before, how did I know that there are so many exquisite...... Hearing what Madame said, I should go and see it! ”
"I heard that the release pond of this Baoguang Temple is connected to the Tongzhou River, and the Tongzhou River is connected to the Grand Canal and the sea...... The release ponds of other temples are also fine, but the release ponds of this Baoguang Temple can really accumulate some merits. Mrs. Wang was talking to Mrs. Song very casually.
Qiu Chen had already sent someone to set up a small courtyard in the back garden of Baoguang Temple to eat vegetarian food and enjoy the flowers. Although the previous signing was somewhat unsmooth, Wang Jingshu quickly changed her face, Mrs. Wang heard that it was just her daughter's late marriage a few years, and it was not a big deal, so she didn't care much about it, and the group did not affect the mood of playing happily at all.
In addition, the food of Hokoji Temple is also a must.
At the beginning of April, late spring and early summer, it is the season when the peony peony is opened, and there are several rare peonies and peonies in Baoguang Temple, which are famous in the capital. There are several gardens in the back garden dedicated to planting peonies and peonies, peonies bloom first at the end of March every year, and in the middle of April, the peonies are in full bloom for the first time, which will attract ladies and ladies, literati and visitors inside and outside the capital to come and watch. Of course, on the eighth day of the fourth month, the number of people who come to worship the Buddha and enjoy the flowers will reach the largest.
After the Buddha, the group went to the backyard of Baoguang Temple to rejoice.
If Junwen can really marry her into the door in the future, the two of them will not have a bad life, but they can only maintain a state of respect for each other after all...... For Qiu Chen, who is a modern thinker, I really don't know whether to say that it is fortunate or unfortunate.
Song Xi'er is only fourteen years old, and she will only be seventeen years old in three years, although it is not too early, but it is not too late...... Not to mention Mingwei and Man'er, those two little ones can't talk about marriage after three years...... Wang Jingshu said this, which appropriately ridiculed Song Xi'er's slip of the tongue, and also showed her open-minded and unfazed temperament. With such a character, I believe that no matter where you marry or who you follow, you will live your life in an orderly manner, but it is precisely because of this kind of personality that you are too rational and can't really be emotional......
As soon as they heard this, without waiting for Song Xi'er to do anything, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Song couldn't help laughing.
After Wang Jingshu was initially surprised, she regained her expression, listened to Song Xi'er's words of consolation, patted her shoulder with a smile and said, "Thank you sister, and besides, I think not only you, but even Mingwei and Man'er will accompany me...... With you by my side, I won't be sad. As my sister said, it is also our blessing to be filial to my mother for a few more years! ”
Song Xi'er held Wang Jingshu with red eyes and comforted: "Sister, don't be sad, my sister is with you...... can enjoy a few more years of happiness in my mother's house, but many people can't ask for it. ”
A sentence successfully broke Mrs. Wang's luck, her face turned gray, and she regained her spirit for a moment, and folded her hands to thank Master Jingxin.
Master Jing folded his hands and pronounced the Buddha's name, and said lightly: "It is not appropriate to talk about marriage, naturally it is not just that you can't get married." ”
Wang Jingshu is already sixteen years old, wait another four years, but it will be twenty, and then talk about marriage, boys of the same age are only afraid that they are not married and are engaged, Wang Jingshu wants to find a suitable husband, but it is too difficult...... If you can talk about marriage, you can decide on marriage because you are not very old, discuss it with your in-laws, and wait for three years to marry your children.
Mrs. Wang sighed, and then asked, "Dare to ask the master, can you get married or can't talk about marriage?" ”
"Madame doesn't need to worry too much, Miss signed this one, but there have been misfortunes in the past three or four years, early marriage is not good for children, if you talk about marriage in a few years later, after the misfortune, not only will it not have much impact, but also the blessings will be profound." The meditation master patiently explained.
Mrs. Wang was shocked, and hurriedly asked the meditation master if there was a way to solve it. Even Wang Jingshu, who had always been calm, changed her face, and looked at Master Jingxin with a nervous and pleading expression.
In this era, the most important thing for a woman to marry is to reproduce offspring and continue the incense, this is not conducive to the flow of children's fame, Wang Jingshu don't talk about good family affairs, even ordinary people have no one willing to want her...... No one wants to marry a daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a child.
On the other hand, about Junwen's marriage, after Qiu Chen thought about it, on the day of the eighth bathing Buddha Festival in early April, he invited Wang Jingshu's mother and daughter and Song Xi'er's ancestors and grandchildren. After the Buddha ceremony, each held the sign holder and pulled a sign out, the meditation master of Baoguang Temple personally gave the sign, several people drew the lot is good, there is no disaster, only Wang Jingshuzhi's sign is slightly safe, but it is said that she should not marry early, otherwise it is not good for the children.
This matter can be regarded as temporarily shelved, and a shop has been set up in Qinghe County, which is equivalent to pressing the eyeliner, Yixuan and Mingwei's mother and daughter are living comfortably, once there is any news, as long as they hurry up, but they can send the letter in one day, and she is not afraid that Zhai Yufu will treat Yixuan's mother and daughter harshly.
A man like Zhai Yufu is pretentious, and he has no way to guard Yixuan and the children to live, even if there is no arrangement from the wife of the Zhai family, he will also accept concubines...... Qiu Chen competed with the Zhai family with a stick and carrots this time, and the request was not that Zhai Yufu would completely quit his romantic temperament in the future, but that he would beat the mother and son of the Zhai family, and not to go too far in the future, and not to be difficult for Yixuan.
Zhai Yufu expressed this, whether it was because of the love between husband and wife, or the face of his children, or looking at the Liangguo Mansion and the Jingbei Hou Mansion, as long as he was willing to give Yixuan a respect. In a few years, when several children grow up, they should marry and marry, and Yixuan will be able to enjoy her old age in peace. In fact, the lives of many women in this era are exactly like this......
In the evening of this day, the guards and mother-in-law who escorted Yixuan's mother and daughter to Qinghe County came back. Qiu Chen asked, knowing that Zhai Yufu, the eldest son of Zhai, was not too much, and when he saw Yixuan's mother and daughter, he also greeted him with a smile, and he didn't use the girl or anything in the past few days of living alone, so he was a little relieved.
Because there are many people and many children, the Jingbei Hou Mansion is not only on the dining table, but the atmosphere at other times is also lively, relaxed and warm. Qiu Chen was secretly concerned, knowing that the two children were basically unaffected in class, and they studied very hard and seriously.
Qiu Chen, Lin Xu, Junwen Brothers and Afu Aman are all used to eating and talking, Qin Zheng has lived in Liujiaao for a lot of days, and knows the habits of the family very well, Qin Zheng may be a little unaccustomed to it at first, but this kind of atmosphere of talking during meals is really good, more humane and warm than a cold and motionless dinner. Besides, whether it is Qiu Chen and the children, or the old and young of the Yang family, they do not have the habit of being loud and atmospheric, and they get along harmoniously, so they talk softly and slowly, with laughter and joy, making eating a pleasant process of communication. Qin Zheng gradually accepted the way of chatting and eating, and as time went by, he still had some habits and enjoyment. Of course, when he goes out or goes to the Liang Guogong Mansion, he still can't eat. The same goes for Qiu Chen and the children.
After three days, Zhixian Zhide has gradually adapted to his mother's departure, and accepted the replacement of his aunt Qiu Chen very smoothly, and after washing up every morning, he followed with Ah Fu to Qin Zheng and Qiu Chen to say goodbye, and then the family went to the hall of the courtyard together, and had breakfast with Junwen Junshu Lin Xu and others who rushed over.
