Chapter 247: Chrysanthemum appreciation
On September 26, there were still two days before Zhao Xiaoxiao's marriage, and in this busy day, Su Chen and his party entered the Hou Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the first time that Lin Luo Lin Xun and Tang Guxi have come to the Hou Mansion, and it is also the first time that Qi Yu has come here in the past six or seven years. Even though he has not entered for many years, he can step into the Zhaohou Mansion again, but he feels that there seems to be no change.
The eldest princess of Ziyang is admiring chrysanthemums in the small garden, white chrysanthemum is her favorite flower species, but because of the bad luck of white itself, even if it is a person who loves chrysanthemum, it is rare to plant a large number of white chrysanthemums at home. However, this small garden in the Hou Mansion is mostly taken care of by the eldest princess Ziyang herself on weekdays, so she follows her temperament and plants whatever she wants.
A large number of white chrysanthemums bloomed, snow-white and clear, and extremely holy. The eldest princess of Ziyang has always had white and clean skin, but now standing in this cluster of flowers, compared with this white chrysanthemum, it seems that it has also dimmed a little, only her complexion is white and red, and it is more ruddy.
The family led Su Chen and the others straight to the garden, and wanted to go forward to announce, but was stopped by Su Chen. The five stopped at the side entrance of the small garden and looked at the noblewoman in the distance.
I saw that the eldest princess of Ziyang was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe, with an elegant peony embroidered with dark brown silk threads, luxurious but not extravagant, graceful and elegant, at the moment with her back to them, bending down to smell a white chrysanthemum with the largest bloom, it seemed that they could smell the fragrance of flowers from a distance.
Her face was tranquil and quiet, neither humble nor arrogant, her eyebrows were peaceful, her pink lips were pink, and her rounded fingers were gently loosened, and the white chrysanthemum shook and bounced off her fingers. Then he turned and walked to the other side, and his steps were very graceful and leisurely.
Tang Guxi was a little dazed, looked at the woman in the white chrysanthemum bush, and praised sincerely: "Since ancient times, I have only heard that girls linger among the flowers, and they will attract bees and butterflies, which is a beautiful scenery of their own. I didn't think about it, but when I saw the eldest princess of Ziyang today, I realized that a woman can achieve a beautiful painting no matter her age. ”
Lin Xun nodded in agreement, and his eyes couldn't leave the woman in the garden, "The eldest princess of Ziyang has an extraordinary bearing, graceful and elegant, but there is majesty between her eyebrows, and there is no lack of Ling Ran temperament, but there is a manly spirit in it." ”
Su Chen listened, smiled, and said, "You really said you were right." My father said that when my aunt was young, she asked the former king to allow her to go to war, and my aunt was happy to put on that military uniform, but in the end she was stopped by the first king's order, and she was sullen and unhappy for a month. ”
"Haha, is that really the case?"
"I can testify to that." Qi Yu continued, "My father also mentioned before that the eldest princess of Ziyang was indeed heroic when she was young. ”
Lin Luo looked at the noble lady among the flowers, listened to them talking, and secretly thought to himself that in fact, even now, the heroic appearance of the eldest princess Ziyang has not diminished.
Probably hearing someone behind her, the eldest princess of Ziyang turned around and looked at the few of them. Seeing this, Su Chen hurriedly led them forward.
Several people saluted in front of Ziyang, and after getting up, Su Chen introduced them one by one. The eldest princess of Ziyang listened to Su Chen's words while looking at them with a smile, smiling with spring but not showing teeth.
After listening, she nodded, her gaze slowly swept over the three of Lin Luo, and finally stayed on Tang Guxi's face for a moment, her expression did not move, and then she withdrew her gaze and looked at Su Chen.
"I like these kids when I see them. Chen'er, it seems that my aunt is not wrong about you, and I know that the friend you have made will not be a layman. ”
"My aunt has won the prize." Su Chen bowed his head slightly and said with a smile, "Chen'er is a layman, but these friends of mine are not simpler than the other. ”
"Listen." The eldest princess of Ziyang chuckled lightly and said angrily, "Everyone in the palace says that you can't speak, but you can't see that you are stupid at all when you are here with your aunt." Qi Yu, you grew up with him since childhood, don't you say? ”
Qi Yu nodded leisurely, the corners of his eyes flew obliquely, and he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Su Chen, "The eldest princess is very right, Su Chen, he relies on your heart to protect him, and he has always had no rules here, if the king sees his usual appearance, I am afraid he will not recognize his own flesh and blood." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed heartily.
"Yong'er went out with his father today, and he doesn't have a brother to keep you company, but fortunately, there are two daughters and one boy in the distinguished guests today, and the girls account for the majority." She smiled slightly and stretched her sleeves forward, "Let's go back now, the three of you must have parched your mouth all the way." The snow tea has been brewed in the house, just waiting for you to taste it. ”
Snow tea is the best tea of Liangyu, the legend is that in the coastal area of the east of Liangyu, there is a kind of snow grass growing, the grass will grow in winter, but often when it just breaks through the thick soil, it is covered by the new first snow. This tea is the tender grass under the first snow.
However, the tea picking process is also extremely difficult, because two conditions must be met: it must be freshly grown snow grass, and it must be the first snow of the year. After both are satisfied, the tea brewed in that way will have an excellent taste, and it will make people have an endless aftertaste and a fragrant taste.
Since the eldest princess of Ziyang said this, he and the others were happy to taste tea, so they turned around and got out of the way, wanting the eldest princess to go out first.
Ziyang smiled softly, very satisfied with the three of her, but before she moved, she reached forward and grabbed Tang Guxi's arm, looking at her silently.
Tang Guxi was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes to look at the eldest princess of Ziyang, the eyes of the two overlapped, giving birth to endless tenderness, she was inexplicably a little stunned, and said with a sneer: "I don't know the eldest princess...... What are the commands? ”
Looking at her slightly shy appearance, the smile in the corner of Ziyang's eyes deepened, but he didn't speak. The right hand was slowly raised and stretched out to her cheek, and everyone realized that the eldest princess had an elegant chrysanthemum in her hand at some point.
Tang Guxi froze and didn't move, letting the eldest princess stretch Bai Ju to her face, and then stopped. She looked at these two "flowers" left and right, as if she was clueing something, and her eyes moved from Tang Guxi's face to the chrysanthemum, and then from the chrysanthemum to her face.
Everyone was also stunned, not knowing what the eldest princess Ziyang meant. Su Chen looked at it in a daze, and wanted to say something but stopped.
Ziyang took the chrysanthemum down, then took out her hand, put the flower in her palm, and bent her fingers to hold the flower firmly.
"You don't have to laugh, you don't have to be surprised." She withdrew her hand and clasped it to her chest, "This flower is once the love of one of my old friends, today I saw Miss Tang, and I felt that the girl was a perfect match for this flower, so I couldn't help but want to pick one and give it to the girl." In my place, there is no distinction between high and low flowers, and there is no good or bad luck, and the girl doesn't have to care about these vulgar thoughts. It's just that the flower is easy to wither, and since the flower is plucked from the branch, it will inevitably wither early. If the girl doesn't like it, then throw it away, and I won't count it. ”
Tang Guxi listened blankly, his eyes fell on the white chrysanthemum in his hand, even though it was a little far away, but the fragrant and elegant floral fragrance went straight into his nose. The thin petals are charming and weak, graceful and graceful, and because they are white all over, they appear crystal clear and ethereal.
She smiled and raised her head, "Where is this eldest princess, even if this flower was not given to me by the eldest princess, I should take good pity." Being so loved by the eldest princess, Gu Xi was overjoyed. ”
Ziyang smiled faintly, "That's good." (To be continued.) )
