The golden autumn is cool, the osmanthus is fragrant, and every year during the Double Ninth Festival, people have to go out of their homes, climb high, enjoy chrysanthemums, drink chrysanthemum wine, and eat Chongyang cakes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year's Chung Yeung Festival in Macheng Prefecture is even more lively, because the government set up this autumn's flower viewing party on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, and uniquely set the theme of this year's flower viewing party to chrysanthemum appreciation, which is not only in line with the theme of the flower viewing party, but also responds to the scene of the Chung Yeung Festival.

The Du family is still the undertaker of the flower viewing party, as early as the beginning of September, the Du family announced the rules of the flower viewing party, the chrysanthemums placed by the various merchants were finally scored with new ingenuity, noble, rare and strange six words, and finally the chrysanthemum with the highest score was bought by the Du family at a high price, and the tribute was paid to the palace for the emperor and the ladies to enjoy.

The Kang family used to participate in flower viewing parties every time, but Kang Zhixun had no ambitions, and always maintained a low-key principle, choosing one or two flowers that were in good condition to hand over, and he didn't care about the results of the final evaluation.

Kang Yan wants to strive for the fourth season of the flower viewing party, or even the flower fighting party next spring, she wants to use this chrysanthemum viewing party to promote the fame of the Kang family flower shop first, so Kang Yan is very cautious about the flowers to be handed over to this chrysanthemum appreciation party, and began to think about it in late August.

After thinking about it and thinking about it, she finally chose three pots of chrysanthemums, a pot of multi-colored snow chrysanthemums, called Erqiao, set off by emerald green leaves, each flower is composed of two semicircles, one semicircle is snow white, one semicircle is pink, the two colors set off each other, the slender petals are stretched outward like a delicate girl, as charming and moving as a flower fairy in costume.

Another pot is called "White Horse Chasing Phoenix", the petals of the white and yellow are slender and slender, the stamen of the yellow is red, the left side of the flower is snow-white like a white horse, the right is golden like a colorful phoenix, one white and one yellow, it is very good-looking.

The last pot is called "Rouge Bit Snow", the big red chrysanthemum ball is upward, and each petal is delicate like the rouge on the girl's face, which is particularly delicate.The Du family still set the location of this chrysanthemum appreciation meeting in their Xiangyi Garden, because it was the first time to participate as an exhibitor, Kang Yan took Xiao Jiu to Xiangyi Garden early in the morning.Because the theme of this flower viewing party is only to appreciate chrysanthemums, so the Du family will use the two empty courtyards newly built in Xiangyi Garden, as soon as they enter the courtyard, they are full of all kinds of chrysanthemums, and the front porch is full of chrysanthemum lanterns, which are fragrant and refreshing.

Each exhibitor has a tent, and the merchant can also put out other varieties of chrysanthemums for visitors to enjoy and buy.

Because of the custom of hairpin chrysanthemums during the Chung Yeung Festival, basically every exhibitor will put other varieties of chrysanthemums, which is a good time to sell flowers.

In addition to placing chrysanthemums in the tent of the Kang family, Kang Yan also specially prepared Chongyang cakes to give to visitors.

Looking at her own tent, Kang Yan found that the right hand side of her house was the tent of the Du family, the contractor of the Du family, and his tent was in the first place. ”

Shopkeeper Li shook his head and smiled from ear to ear, "In the past, our tents were all behind, this time we are lucky, with such a good booth, today's business will definitely be good, I will let the guy take more flowers later." ”

Kang Yan raised her eyes and saw Du Yunche dressed in a blue brocade dress, standing in the middle of the chrysanthemum, holding her hands behind her back and telling things to the people around her, the expression on her face was serious and serious, she couldn't help but remember that she and Du Yunche met in this Xiangyi Garden, and when the two were in love, he also brought himself here to enjoy the flowers.

As if feeling her gaze, Du Yunche looked up and saw her and nodded to her.

Kang Yan paused, nodded to him, and turned into her tent.

Du Yunche was slightly stunned for a moment, but heard a majestic voice behind him: "That's the girl you fancied?" ”turned around and saw his father Du Changhai standing behind him, looking at the place where Kang Yan was standing next to him.

Du Yunche was silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

"It's good, but the family background is too low." Du Changhai dropped a sentence and left.

Du Yunche stood in place, looking at the Kang family's tent with a deep face.

At the beginning of the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting, the flow of people was surging, the crowd was crowded, the location was really different, the Kang family sold more than a dozen pots of flowers in a while, and the shopkeeper Li rubbed his hands.

Xiao Jiu is the first time to participate in such a big flower viewing party, it is strange to see anything, Kang Yan simply let him go out and come back by herself, she drank tea in the tent while watching the guy sell flowers, occasionally met a noble lady to come, Kang Yan will also personally receive it, explain, Su Chenjing also came to her tent to go around, before she could speak, the Qiao family brothers and sisters also came, and asked him to go to enjoy the flowers together.

Estimating the hour, the Ju Appraisal was about to start, and Kang Yan got up and went to the courtyard of the Ju Ju Appraisal Club.

The courtyard used to receive high-level guests to enjoy the flowers and rest on weekdays in the Du family, with pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, is typical of the style of the Jiangnan garden, but because of the chrysanthemum meeting, all the flowers and bonsai placed in the original yard have been removed and replaced with all kinds of chrysanthemums.

The judging this time is mainly the local celebrities of Macheng Mansion invited by the Du family, such as Qiao Zhifu, Yan Heqing, the dean of Nanshan Academy, is the judge of this time.All the chrysanthemums participating in the selection are placed in the yard for visitors and judges to enjoy, for the fair period, each pot of chrysanthemums are only marked with the name and code, and do not disclose which merchant it is, after the judges appreciate, vote together, and finally select the chrysanthemum with the highest votes.

When Kang Yan went, the judges had just entered and were ready to enjoy the flowers, so she knew that she had come a little early, so since she came, she simply walked around the yard and admired the chrysanthemums that came to the exhibition.

Walking in the sea of chrysanthemums, Kang Yan's mood gradually relaxed, and unconsciously walked to a rockery, because she was greedy for the chrysanthemums placed on the rockery, she was about to turn to the rockery, just walked to the corner, but heard a low sob, Kang Yan subconsciously stopped.

"Miss Qiao, don't cry, it's not good for people to see, I still have something to do, leave first." A slightly magnetic male voice sounded, and there was irrepressible impatience in his voice.

Is it Su Chenjing's voice? Kang Yan, who wanted to turn around and leave, stood in place, I don't know which one this Qiao girl is? If Jordan is still Jordan Hua, Kang Yan feels that it will definitely not be Jordan Yun.

The crying stopped for a while, and I heard the sound of clothes swishing, and then a delicate and weak woman's voice sounded: "Young Master Su, I have been miserable since I was a child, and I don't even have a relative around me who plans for me, and I am even more careful to follow my grandmother, I, I, Young Master Su doesn't want me, is it because I dislike me?" ”

It's Jordan Hua's voice.

She knew both of them, and Kang Yan felt that it was better to leave earlier, so as not to encounter embarrassment.

Su Chenjing was impatient at the moment, just to enjoy a chrysanthemum, how could he meet the third girl of the Qiao family for some reason, and said with a coquettish face that he was willing to serve him for the rest of his life.It's good that he likes beautiful women, but in his past experience, he has always been very clear, what kind of women can be touched, what kind of women can't be touched, like the girl of the Qiao family, you can't touch it, and if you don't do it, it will cause a series of troubles.

He thought he had said it very clearly, but Jordan Hua cried and refused to leave, he couldn't suppress his anger anymore, so he could only impatiently shake off Jordan Hua's sleeves, "Miss Qiao, I really don't mean this, it's not good for lonely men and widows to be together, I'll go first." ”

After that, he turned around and left, just turned the rockery, but saw a slender figure, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Kang Yan tugged at the corners of her mouth a little embarrassed, wanting to say that it was a coincidence, she didn't mean to eavesdrop, and she felt that it was even more embarrassing to say it, she couldn't help but wonder if it would be better to leave like this.

Qiao Danhua behind the rockery was still immersed in the grief of being rejected by Su Chenjing, seeing Su Chenjing turn to leave, she rushed out eagerly, and when she saw where Su Chenjing was standing, she gritted her teeth, didn't care about shame, stepped forward and hugged Su Chenjing from behind, "Young Master Su, what I said is true." "

Because Su Chenjing's back just blocked Jordan's vision, she didn't see Kang Yan in front of her.

Su Chenjing's face darkened suddenly.
