Chapter 045: Great Flower Appreciation
(Thank you for the peace charm of the single and double fish, thank you for the peach blossom fan of Lunarjoe, thank you for the sachet of the fairy Chubby Meow, thank you!) Keep up all kinds of begging! )
What Gu Wei and Gu Chongting said in the Yutang Courtyard, Gu Yan had no way of knowing, she waited for the arrival of the flower appreciation banquet with a cautious heart.
The flower-viewing banquet is a tradition that has existed since the beginning of the country, which was originally just a few official eunuchs and girls meeting to play, and then gradually became a grand event integrating smelting, watching each other, and marrying.
The small flower-viewing banquet refers to the ordinary people going out to enjoy the flowers at the beginning of March every year, and the large flower-viewing banquet refers to the flower-viewing event held by the imperial court and inviting the children of the family members above the five-rank official to attend.
For a family like the Gu family, the flower-viewing banquet naturally refers to the big flower-viewing banquet.
Before the first emperor, the big flower viewing feast was scheduled for the beginning of March, when the flowers were in full bloom and the temperature was suitable, which was the best time to enjoy the flowers. Since the Chongde period, the great flower-viewing feast has been postponed.
Among the hundred flowers, Emperor Chongde loved peony alone and praised it as the national color and fragrance. There will be a good thing on the bottom, Jingzhao people tend to admire the peony, and the big flower banquet will be postponed to the middle of April, in order to wait for the peony flowering period.
Moreover, the big flower viewing banquet during the Chongde period was mostly held in the Guishan Garden of Guishanfang. Without him, there are not only famous pavilions and ponds in Guishanyuan, but also hundreds of thousands of peonies, which are more prosperous over the years.
There was once a celebrity who described the grand flower appreciation banquet of Guishan Garden, and his words praised: "Open the curtain, list the famous flowers, and orchestrate it." The ladies in the city, no fireworks swim in it, the flowers are misty, and the heavens are ...... on earth"
Gu Yan had read this scholar's visit to the garden and knew that what he said was true. Although she did not participate in the nine-year flower viewing banquet in Chongde, after marrying into the Chengguo Mansion, she wore flowers for the hairpin of the flower viewing banquet girl as a guest every year.
Guishanyuan, she is no stranger to it at all.
Chongde's nine-year flower appreciation banquet was of course held in Guishanyuan, and this year's proprietor was the Duchess of Anguo, Guan Shi.
When Gu Yan followed the Fu family to Guishanyuan, he was not as restrained as others - Guishanyuan did not change until the eighteenth year of Chongde.
Gu Yan looked at Gu Wei on the side, with some sense of inquiry. After going out, Gu Wei was very quiet, listening to Fu's arrangements and guidance, and looked very well-behaved.
If Gu Wei has always been so obedient, then it would be the best. Even if she has a plan, she is not afraid, with water and green following, it is difficult to make mistakes.
Because of the water green to follow Gu Wei, Gu Yan let Yuebai serve at this flower viewing banquet. Yuebai is not as stable as water green, but it is better than ingenuity, which is very valued by Gu Yan.
Stepping into Guishan Garden, the clear, strong and secluded fragrance of the peony will come to the nose, and as far as the eye can see, all kinds of peonies are blooming; In the distance, the curtain made of butterfly pattern smoke and haze will divide Guishanyuan into east and west, with the female relatives in the west and the male guests in the east.
Until the banquet is set up at the time of the unitary, the female relatives and male guests will gather together in the Xiaolou.
There are beautiful people from far and near, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, adding three points to Guishan Garden.
Gu Yan looked at these scenes and couldn't help but think of the flower-viewing banquet a few years later. At that time, the flower-viewing banquet was not as grand as it is now.
Because of the accident of the prince of Changyin in the flower-viewing banquet, and because the marriages of several princes were finalized one after another, it was inevitable that the flower-viewing banquet in the Chongde period gradually declined. Now it seems that the nine-year flower-viewing banquet in Chongde is the most prosperous.
It has been nine years since Emperor Chongde ascended the throne, and the blood of the original seizure of the throne has disappeared, and the throne has been consolidated.
Hundreds of thousands of peonies, the emperor's special delicacies, many powerful families, and the joyful and enjoyable looks on their faces can only appear in the year of peace.
Although there are all kinds of grievances hidden under the peace, the Guishan Garden at this moment is really like the sky.
Gu Yan felt that he had died once, and he had become a ghost, and when he saw this paradise at first glance, he always had a sense of distortion. It was in this situation that she met those people in the past one by one.
The first to come to greet the Gu family and his party was the family of Fan Taiyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Mrs. Fan Ji brought her daughters-in-law and granddaughters to greet the Fu family.
The Fan family has many family members, and just greeting and saluting takes a lot of time. After the greetings, Gu Yan's eyes fell on Fan Yi, who was only eight years old.
Fan Yi is Fan Taiyan's granddaughter, who has not yet grown at this time, her face is fat, and there are two cute little whirlpools on her cheeks, and she follows Ji timidly, as if she is afraid of life. I don't know what Mrs. Fan thinks, bring such a young girl to the flower viewing banquet.
With such a fan, I can't see the slightest momentum in my whole body, it's really hard to imagine that such a little girl will be able to mother the world in the future, and it is really unpredictable.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan's eyebrows bent, the greatest joy of reliving a life is to know what these people will become-if the trajectory remains the same.
As if sensing Gu Yan's scrutiny, the little girl Fan Yi glanced up at Gu Yan, and quickly lowered her head, shy.
Seeing Fan Yi's little girl like this, Gu Yan's smile deepened.
With the comparison of Fan Yi's little girl, Gu Yan was very calm when he saw the other people. Walking from the west side of Guishan Garden to the north side, she was smiling all the way.
It wasn't until she met a few girls at the Huazhu Pavilion in the northwest corner and heard them clearly that her smile faded.
Gu Yan knew all these girls, and the leader was Zhang Miao, the granddaughter of Zhang Guiling, the head of the household department. The Zhang family has the power and money, and Zhang Miao herself is good friends with Princess Anchang, so she has always been arrogant and rarely afraid of words and actions.
At this moment, what they are talking about is the matter of Han Yan, the granddaughter of Taichangqing Han Shiyuan.
"You don't know, I heard that Han Yu knows witchcraft, and if she sees someone who doesn't like her eyes, she will harm anyone, and I'm afraid to ......talk about it," said a girl in green.
"What's more, I heard that Han Yu will grow fangs and claws at night, and the maids around her are all eaten by her!" The girl with a treasure dragonfly hairpin on her head is in line with the Tao.
The rest of the girls all said bad things about Han Yan, and said that Han Yan was a demon who was a combination of all kinds of evils.
"Humph! Fortunately, she died, otherwise such a demon would definitely have to be cut by a thousand knives! That is, the Han family, can produce such a demon! Zhang Miao said sarcastically, her voice was sharp and thin, and it sounded like scraping bones in Gu Yan's heart.
Gu Yan's eyes looked at Zhang Miao like sharp blades, unable to hide his anger, and said, "The emperor has already made a decision on the affairs of the Han family. The dead are gone, so it's better for the girls to keep some morality! ”
Wickedness? Where is Han Yu what kind of demon, she just said what she knew, why was she burned alive by the fire?! It's miserable!
Even if Zhang Guling and Han Shiyuan disagree, Zhang Miao, a little girl, can't slander a dead person like this!
At this moment, Gu Yan was really angry and empathized, these words were said on behalf of the dead Han Yu, and even more for herself.
Xu is Gu Yan's eyes were too sharp, Zhang Miao and the others were speechless for a while, and then someone blushed.
"What does the Han family's affairs have to do with you?!" Immediately, Zhang Miao came back to her senses and retorted.
She recognized who Gu Yan was, the granddaughter of Gu Zhan, the secretary of the ministry. Then she remembered that her brother wanted to get a job in the ministry, and she wanted to say something more harsh, but stopped.
Gu Yan's anger was particularly unsubsidy, and he was about to say something, but he was gently clapped by Fu Shi.
Gu Yan's heart was shocked, and she immediately remembered that it was now a flower viewing banquet, she shouldn't say much, this is a gaffe, in the end, cultivation is not enough.
This qiē all fell in Gu Wei's eyes. She raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan, as if she had thought of something, and before she could think clearly, she saw that all the girls suddenly looked behind her.
In the distance, a large group of people surrounded a noblewoman in gorgeous clothes, who were slowly coming towards the Huazhu Pavilion.
