Chapter 107: The Gift
The Song people love flowers, almost every house is furnished with flowers, every festival, regardless of men and women, hairpin flowers on the head.
Therefore, flower planting is a great industry, such as Meishan, which specializes in raising lotuses, and every May and June, flower sellers from neighboring towns come here to purchase lotuses. When people walk on the street, they will also see many lotus ponds on the side of the road, but it is not yet the flowering season, only green lotus leaves.
Every morning, boatloads of flowers arrive at the pier and are distributed by hawkers around the city.
But today people are surprised to find that there is not a single flower on the market. When asked about the vendors, they were also confused, saying that not a single flower boat had arrived.
After noon, the flower ship finally came late, and there were more than ten boats, people wondered, why did they transport flowers at this time? Who is this going to sell to?
As soon as the boat docked, the people above carried the flowers down. On the dock, the Qian clerk and Tu Guanren were there, and said to Li Jian, who came down above, and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man in Chinese clothes: "Do you bring enough people?" Not enough, we also hired a hundred day laborers. ”
"That's sure enough." Li Jian is already the richest man in Meizhou, but he still feels very painful about this amazing big deal: "Quanmeizhou, within a month, don't think about buying flowers again." ”
"How much does it cost?" Qian and Tu couldn't help but say when they heard this: "You can't come down without a few million, right?" ”
"Flowers and petals, four thousand." Li Jian smiled bitterly: "Our master, spent all the dividends of the year. ”
"Isn't it a flower when you earn it?" The young man disagreed: "Instead of spending all the time squandering, it is better to do something meaningful." ”
"What makes sense?" The three of them said with wide eyes.
"So, how much money you make, it's still vulgar." The boy pouted.

A cartload of flowers was transported to Shayi Lane, the small Su Mansion, and in a blink of an eye, it was covered with white lilies and bright red roses... Soon, the Su family could no longer put a pot, and the workers filled Shayi Lane, and then took Su Mansion as the origin, and the brocade woven by the flowers was radial and paved on the streets and alleys of Meishan County.
After learning the news that these flowers could be taken away at will after being placed for three days, the incorrigible romance and amusement spirit of the Song people were incorrigibly stimulated, and they took out their own flowers and placed them at the door to help the colorful and fragrant flower tide all over the city.
One is that in this era, the city is a little smaller, and the other is that there are too many flowers transported, and with the contribution of the citizens, it is actually covered with flowers in half of the city.
It's dusk, but people are lingering in the sea of flowers on the street, admiring the purple and red of the city, as if it is another grand festival. While people are laughing and having fun, they are envious of the owners of these flowers, regardless of whether they are men, women or children. ”…
But the owner of the flowers in the half of the city sat in a pavilion covered with lilies, leaning his arms against the railing, watching the red sun gradually slanting westward, and did not know what was on his mind.
Naturally, the little sister was stunned by these favorite flowers, and she had a dream since she was a child, hoping to live in a courtyard covered with lilies and dance in the rain of flowers. "Today, at least half of my dreams have come true, and they are really dizzying, so beautiful that they are suffocating." The tears of happiness can't be stopped.
It's just that the happier you feel, the more you want that person to be around. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will only be overshadowed without you enjoying it.
The little sister said in her heart that if he appeared in front of him with even a rose, she would rather not have this fresh ghost all over the city. She endured the shame and asked Cai Chuanfu, but the other party didn't know where Chen Ke was now, as for today's birthday, it had been set half a year ago.
So I may not see him today......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the beginning of the lanterns, the banquet in Taoran Building continued. The hedonism of the Song people, especially the Shu people, has reached the point of outrageousness, and this banquet, which began at noon, has only just entered the high tide.
Feeling that the atmosphere was almost over, Lei Jianfu, who was sitting on the main seat on the second floor, picked up the wine glass and said to the guests at each table: "Everyone, there is a way to 'My Fair Lady, a gentleman is good: I can't ask for it, I can't think about it" The daughter of the Su family is a lady, my family is small, dog, it is difficult to call a gentleman, but it has been three years, and his heart can be learned...... This remark gave Su Xun enough face and made him feel a lot better.
After a pause, Lei Zhizhou continued: "On this beautiful day, there are full of high-ranking friends as evidence, and the old man is a small person. As he was talking, he suddenly heard a buzzing noise downstairs, which made Lei Janfu frown unhappily, and said that people are so unruly?
His family hurriedly went down to check, and after a while, he came up and said, "A group of people are here, and they are handing out books one by one." ”
"Send out a book?"
"Not bad." A young man in a brocade robe with a jade face went upstairs, followed by several servants holding books. Singing to everyone, the young man smiled and said, "My sister of the Su family."
There was a book published, hurry up, and finally didn't delay today's birthday banquet. But every friend who congratulates him has a copy. With a wave of his hand,
"Xiao Liulang, what are you here to make trouble?" Seeing that it was the old cloud of the Chen family, Su Tong couldn't pretend that he didn't know it, so he had to reprimand him loudly: "Where has my daughter published any book?" ”
"Uncle Su, this is a dereliction of duty as a father." Chen Liulang smiled and said, "If you read it, you know." ”
As he spoke, there was already a hardcover book of houhou in the audience. The guests looked at the blue hard-shell cover with the word "Dictionary", and the two large gilded letters were particularly eye-catching. Many readers couldn't help but murmur secretly: 'I heard that Chen Sanlang compiled a 'dictionary' but I haven't had a chance to see it, I didn't expect to see ...... today, but, how did it become Su Xiaomei's compilation? ,
With this question in mind, they opened the cover, only to see the author's name printed on the title page:
'Chen Ke, Su Xiao, sister,!
With a bang, the second floor exploded like the first floor. People rubbed their eyes vigorously, and their hearts said, could it be that they are drunk and dazzled?
But no matter how you rub it, it won't help, there are indeed two names on it, Chen Ke and Su Xiaozhi. ”…
Su Xun was stunned, this old lady who was inferior to a man and a woman wanted to be serious, he never thought that there would be a man who was willing to let a woman share his glory and go down in history forever. "Because if you flip down further, you will find that the preface and epilogue of this "Dictionary" are made by a person named Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu respectively!
Regardless of the content, it is destined to be remembered for eternity. Su Xun's expression was wonderful, unexpected? Surprise? Satisfied? Angry? It's complicated.
"Hahahaha, it's really ...... happy." As if he had taken an aphrodisiac, Su Shi hugged the "Dictionary" and kissed it again and again, then bounced up from his seat, and ran downstairs without saying hello.
"Really, where are you going?" Su Zhe shook his head, and also smiled and went downstairs. They couldn't help it, and they wanted to tell the little sister the good news as soon as possible.
The other people present naturally won't leave, but they inevitably looked at Lei Zhizhou and whispered: "I can't complain that people come to deliver books, it turns out that Lord Fu Yin wants to snatch love with a knife." ”…,
Lei Zhizhou was like being slapped twice, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip water. Look at his son again, he is already in mourning. "How could Lei Fang not know that once this "Dictionary" was published in the world, except for Chen Ke, there was no second person in the world who could marry Su Xiaomei.......
Son, you have also seen it, it's not that we don't work hard, it's that the enemy is too fierce......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the backyard of Sufu, the little sister was already crying with the houhou "Dictionary" in her arms, and the two brothers Mrs. Cheng, Banniang, Su Shi and Su Zhe, as well as their wives, were all around her. Needless to say, the mother and son of the Cheng family are naturally sincerely happy for their little sister.
And her two sisters-in-law are happy for her in their hearts, and they are inevitably envious of tea. ”… Easy to ask for priceless treasures, rare lovers, small and sister are really good eyes!
Su Shi was an emotional person, and he was so happy that he was about to shed tears, so he quickly raised his head, took a deep breath, and then froze, and muttered: "Little sister, look at the sky and ......." ”
At this time, it was already dark, and the streets outside were still full of tourists, people were playing lanterns, and the excitement was unabated. The moon and stars are shining tonight, and it is appropriate to hold candles and have a good night. ”…
I don't know who exclaimed first: "Look at the sky!" Everyone looked up, and saw red lanterns rising in the dark night sky, and as far as the eye could see, there were thousands of them. This brilliant light, intertwined with the brilliant starlight in the sky, shrouded the small Meishan City in a dream-like atmosphere.
That's a thousand Kong Ming lanterns......
As those Kong Ming lanterns rose higher and higher, people suddenly saw something falling colorfully.
Their eyes widened, and they could see through the bright moonlight that it was a sky full of flower petals.
The more you go to the direction of the Su family, the more Kong Ming lanterns there are, and the more dense the flowers and rain in the sky become, fluttering like snowflakes, falling in the courtyard of the Su family one after another, full of fragrance, like falling into a fairyland.
The little sister stretched out her hand, and several roses fell in her palm, the fragrance of the flowers was fragrant and refreshing, which was the complete dream of the girl......
Everyone was intoxicated by the rain of flowers, but she suddenly rushed to the courtyard, hugged her "Dictionary", and shouted to the sky: "If you don't come out again, I won't tickle you for the rest of my life!" ”
"Don't ......" A lazy voice sounded, and I saw Chen Ke climbing on the wall and laughing: "Sister, I'm back-

Chen Sanlang's style of pulling the wind is indeed something that Shen Heigou can't envy...... One More Chapter (To be continued)
