Chapter 17 Flowers

"Miss Shen is inside. The second girl will go by herself. Luo Xia stomped on the mud on the soles of her shoes and said more, "Second girl, this garden is unlucky." You also advised Miss Shen not to stay for a long time. ”

"Unlucky?" Flower two one scared.

Luo Xia looked at Hua Er's frightened appearance, couldn't help laughing, and explained with a straight face.

"It's not a big deal. The garden was from the time of Emperor Zhou Ai, which was originally very good, but the April Palace changed together, who had the heart to take care of the flowers and plants? Later, the withered withered, the defeated defeated, to the present day the saint ascended the throne, found this garden, but at that time the courtyard was full of flowers and leaves, the palace people felt unlucky, no one was willing to take care of it. It was a small garden, so it was simply abandoned. ”

Hua Er nodded, and his memory was awakened little by little.

Yes, there is such a small garden.

Luo Xia reversed back, and Hua Er entered the small garden alone, and saw Shen Yin doing something next to a Taihu Lake stone.

"Miss Shen!" Hua Er called.

"Who!" Shen Yin was frightened, his face was discolored, and he completely lost his former dignity.

"It's the folk girl who is offended, and the girl is offended. It's just that my brother and Ah Wei are ...... Wait, Miss Shen...... What are you doing? Hua Er was apologetic, but when he saw Shen Yin's hand clearly, he couldn't help but be surprised.

The slender jade hands were covered with mud, the shallot nails were pinched with grass slag, the palm held a golden hairpin, and a small insect was poked at the tip.

And at her feet were several pots of flowers, ordinary small mountain flowers, wilted, open, half-drooping, and there were small insects flying around, biting the petals out of small holes.

Obviously, this Shen girl heard about the little insects, so she hurried over and took off the hairpin in the bun to get rid of the insects for these flowers.

It's just that this kind of thing is not at all like what Shen Yin would do.

After all, she is the daughter of the stars holding the moon, and her ten fingers do not touch the spring water. Virtuous and respectful, reciting like a stream, the virtue of the concubine, and even more literacy began to read.

So Hua Eryi didn't react to God for a while. She rubbed her eyes and stared at Shen Yin again, and then the latter finally blushed.

"You didn't see anything! Nothing! Shen Yin drank in panic.

Flower two winked. I am very sure that the person in front of her is Shen Yin, the dignified and demure woman like a bodhisattva in her memory, but now she is covered in mud and has a panicked face.

Hua Er looked at the flowers again, and sighed in his heart.

There will be no flower defeat in the palace. It is always artificially cut off the declining flowers to make a prosperous and auspicious picture.

However, these flowers in front of me are withered and blooming, and the petals are scattered on the ground, which are flowers in their natural state.

It is also a "real" flower.

"You didn't get rid of the bugs just now...... That's how it should be. Hua Er took a deep breath, walked over, took the Shen Yin golden hairpin, and squatted down to demonstrate to her.

Shen Yin stared at Hua Er's back in a daze. After a long time, the shame on his face turned into complexity: "You...... Doesn't it seem strange? The daughter of the Hou Mansion raised a pile of wild flowers, and there were decayed ...... in it."

Hua Er didn't look up, but was very careful to remove insects for the wildflowers, and the priceless golden hairpin was used by her like a flower hoe, but she was very skilled.

"Miss Shen, in the East Palace Flower Garden, there are the most precious Er Qiao, who will never be defeated or wilted, but in the eyes of the people, compared with Er Qiao, only the flowers here are flowers."

Hua Er got up, wiped the golden hairpin, handed it to Shen Yin, and smiled meaningfully: "Similarly, if Shen Daqianjin does this kind of thing, it will naturally deviate, but if Shen Yin does this kind of thing, isn't it normal?" ”

Shen Yin's body shook. Thousands of thoughts flashed on his face, some were shocked, some were excited, some were doubtful, and some were grateful, and his little face, which was originally pale because of illness, turned colorful.

And the woman in front of her, with clean eyes, and sincere eyes seemed to be able to see into her soul.

“…… Thank you very much......"

After a long time, Shen Yin bowed his head, and his tone was a little unstable.

"But Miss Shen has to wash the mud on her hands, otherwise when she goes back to the front hall, she will have to ask someone to pull the fork......" Hua Er didn't finish his words, and was interrupted by Shen Yin.

"Ah Yin! It doesn't matter if you are in front of people, when you are behind, you will call me Ah Yin! I'm nineteen years old, one year older than you, and I'll call you second sister, okay? ”

Shen Yin raised his eyes, looked at Hua Er earnestly, paused, and added: "I'm free...... The second sister can still teach me how to raise flowers, weeding and fertilizing or something......"

Shen Yin seemed to be very interested in the flowers, and pinched the ball of flower mud in his palm, which was not too dirty.

It's unimaginable that after stripping off the dignified and demure golden shell, the people inside are so smart and vivid.

Only then did Hua Er confirm that she met Shen Yin for the first time today.

It's not the perfect Bodhisattva-like Houfu girl, but a real nineteen-year-old girl.

Hua Er smiled: "Of course you can." But then again, how did Ah Yin raise these pots of wildflowers? ”

"They were originally in Emperor Zhou's garden. After the change of the palace in April, the garden was abandoned by the palace, and I stumbled upon a few pots of flowers that were extremely tenacious and still alive. Shen Yin said eloquently, "For three years, I have secretly raised them. Blooming and wilting, withering and blooming, I let them live naturally and truly like flowers outside. ”

Shen Yin paused, pulled Hua Er to sit down, and the two sat on the brick floor covered with flower mud, hugging their knees and looking at the flower pot.

"Second sister, I guess, these flowers were planted by Empress Mingde...... Second sister? Shen Yin suddenly felt that Hua Er's hand, which she was holding, trembled slightly.

"It's okay, you say." The moment Shen Yin turned his head to look, Hua Er smiled, nothing unusual.

Shen Yin nodded, stretched out his well-maintained hand, picked up the weeds in the flower pot, and continued.

"Second sister, do you know how Empress Minde entered the palace? I'm going to be happy. At that time, Emperor Zhou Ai's body was no longer good, and today's saints, oh no, were still the right minister at that time, the emperor's situation had been released, and Emperor Ai's court was worried about internal and external troubles, and the imperial palace was lifeless. Emperor Wai's original queen has been married for a few more years, so the palace discussed and rejoiced for Emperor Mourning to marry another queen. ”

Hua Er looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Be careful!" Just talk about today's saints, don't be afraid to lose your head! ”

Shen Yin smiled: "But in the past three years, the people who have gone through the palace change are still there, and the people have not forgotten to that extent." It's not a secret. Besides, who is running here after three years of abandoned gardens? ”

Shen Yin looked at the pots of flowers, his eyes were shining, and he continued.

"I heard the old lady in the palace say that Empress Minde finished coming to Kwai Shui on the last day of her eleventh birthday, and on her twelfth birthday, she was taken into the palace. The little queen, who is only twelve years old, naturally can't bear the loneliness in the palace, so she should raise these flowers. However, I searched all over the palace, and I didn't know what these flowers were called. ”

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, these past dynasties, you are still rotten in your stomach. Say everywhere that you are not afraid of losing your head! ”

Hua Er couldn't cry or laugh, Shen Daqianjin was down, this Shen Yin, how could he not stop chattering.

Shen Yin sneered, waved his hand and said, "How can there be such a taboo!" When the current sage ascended the throne, he said that he regarded Emperor Mourning as a brother, and since it was a country of brothers, there was no need to change the name of the country, and he was still called Zhou, and the Great Zhou was still the Great Zhou...... It's just that in order to distinguish them, the folk call the Zhou of the previous dynasty the Eastern Zhou, and the current Zhou as the Western Zhou. ”
