Chapter 42: The Festival of the Goddess of Flowers
After two days, they continued their journey south to the city of Jinling.
The royal cloud brocade in the palace comes from here, the cloud brocade is gorgeous and colorful, like the smoke in the sky, it has always been the beloved thing of the palace concubines.
Jinling City is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, in the history of the Eastern Wu, the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Qi Dynasty, the Liang, the Chen capital had been in this capital, can become the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties then its scenery is naturally needless to say, the beautiful scenery is also outstanding even if it is placed in the Jiangnan of the rich mountains and rivers, it seems that only the prosperity is not enough to describe its liveliness, the prosperity is extreme, the streets are wide and straight, the pattern is compact, and the crowds are surging.
They first went to Yuejiang Tower, then went to Xuanwu Lake, in the evening to swim in the Qinhuai River, and then to the Jiming Temple, after visiting all the beautiful scenery, they were going to leave, but when they happened to go to the street, they heard the people talking about the "Flower God Meeting" three days later, so they came to be interested, and it was okay to stay for a few more days. The emperor spoke, and everyone was naturally full of joy, and Su Yi was also quite happy in her heart, after all, such days are not common, she has always liked these strange temple fairs and flower festivals, and if there is such an opportunity, she must see it.
Su Yi and Qiu Ruo heard many people on the street discussing the choice of the flower god tomorrow, there were many more girls on the street than two days ago, the flower platform had already been set up, many girls stopped in front of the flower table to watch, Su Yi and Qiu Ruo wanted to come forward to take a look, but there were too many people, anyway, the flower god will be tomorrow, today is not to see nothing, Qiu Ruo pulled Su Yi to the direction of the vegetable field.
Su Yi knew in her heart that she wanted to go to see Qin Han, but she pretended not to know and asked: "I heard that the master thinks that the food in the inn is not to taste, and Brother Qin and Uncle Peng are in charge of the dishes themselves these days, and I don't know if we can meet Brother Qin?" ”
Qiu Ruo's face was red, but his mouth was unrelenting: "Let's go to ours, why do you have to meet him?" ”
Su Yiwan smiled and said narrowly: "Hmm...... It's my gluttony that I want to eat the golden silk ham duck made by Brother Qin. If you can meet him, it will be good to let him know! ”
Qiu Ruo pursed her lips, reacted and suddenly understood that Su Yi was making fun of her, raised her eyebrows, and reached for Su Yi's waist with both hands, while chirping: "Okay! You did it on purpose! ”
Su Yi hurriedly ran forward, dodging her hand, and said with a smile: "What did I do on purpose?" ”
Qiu Ruo still pretended to be angry, chased after her and said angrily: "You just deliberately ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent and looked at Su Yi fixedly.
Su Yi didn't know what to do, she just walked backwards, and suddenly bumped into a sturdy body, almost fell, the man hurriedly grabbed her body, she turned around and saw that the person's smile was frozen at the corner of her lips, she was stunned for a while, Fang hurriedly took two steps back and said, "Fifth master." ”
Hongtian looked at her in a daze, he had never seen her show such a happy smile, her eyebrows and eyes were open, her smile was like a flower, the smile was so pure, so moving, but the moment she saw him, she suddenly disappeared, and she became the same Shen Suyi again, with a deferential and detached face, as if the happy jumping woman just now was another person. Her heart was suddenly stung by the look of rejection on her face.
"Fifth Master, Brother Qin." Qiu Ruo stepped forward and called.
Only then did Su Yi notice that Qin Han was also there.
"Why are you here?" Qin Han had already discovered the abnormality of the atmosphere and wanted to unravel this oppressive atmosphere, so he asked.
"Su Yi said that she wants to eat golden silk ham duck, let's see if we can meet you, you can go buy ingredients." Qiu Ruo said with a smile.
Su Yi didn't expect Qiu Ruo to talk to her, and when she saw that several people in front of her were staring at her, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, her face turned red, and she snorted: "I'm just talking casually......"
Qiu Ruo looked at her with a smile and a smug expression.
Qin Han smiled and said, "I really bought duck today, I originally wanted to stew a soup, but since you want to eat ham duck, then I'll make ham duck." ”
Qiu Ruo saw that Qin Han didn't say a word, and hurriedly said, "I want to eat jade fish fillet." ”
"Okay, then I'll go buy fish." Qin Han responded.
Qiu Ruo took the basket in Qin Han's hand and said, "I'll go with you." Suyi, are you going? ”
Su Yi looked at Qin Han and Qiu Ruo and shook her head, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first." ”
Qiu Ruo nodded, and when he saw that Hongtian was still on the side, he said, "Fifth Master, will you go back now?" ”
Hongtian bowed slightly, but Su Yi was pale, bit his lip, only to feel bad, and heard Qiu Ruo say: "Then bother the fifth master to go back with Su Yi?" ”
Hongyang said: "Okay. ”
Qin Han frowned, he knew that Su Yi didn't want to be with Hongtian when he saw Su Yi's embarrassed face, but if Qiu Ruo had already said this, it was too late for him to stop it.
Hongyang left first, and Su Yi had to follow hesitantly.
Qiu Ruo was satisfied with the basket and walked towards the vegetable field with Qin Han.
Hongyang walked silently in front, Su Yi followed step by step, but he felt suddenly uneasy in his heart, if he let Xing'er see it, it would definitely cause unnecessary misunderstandings, but he couldn't find any reason to leave. When I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a voice sound: "Do you want to escape again?" ”
Su Yi was startled, and when he looked up, he saw Hongtian looking back at her, his eyes were deep and unfathomable, he actually guessed his thoughts, and the uneasiness in Su Yi's heart deepened a little, and said, "Fifth master......"
"Fifth master? Rajah? Fifth Elder Brother? Is that all I am in your mind? Hongtian interrupted her and asked.
"And one more ......," Suyi muttered.
"What is it?" Hongday's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked urgently.
"Apricot's husband."
Hongtian only felt a suffocation in his chest, and a wry smile rose on his lips, he shouldn't have any hope, he already knew that she was so ruthless, but why did he have so many expectations in his heart? But it turns out that a person's joy and pain are only in a thought, and her words can make you feel like you are in the clouds, but a word can make you fall into hell.
"I know I'm Xing'er's husband, I don't need you to remind me." Half-loud, he said in a cold voice.
Su Yi stopped, only lowered his head to look at the upper of his shoes, Hongtian looked at her, obviously she hurt him with such words a moment ago, but he still couldn't help but want to get close to her, his hand slowly raised, wanting to touch her shoulder, but inadvertently saw a figure a few feet away, his eyes couldn't help but darken, and his hand hung down again.
After all, without saying a word, he turned around and walked in the direction of the inn.
They stayed in Jinling's famous "Fenglai Inn", the layout of the inn is suitable for IKEA, the front is built in the ordinary style of the attic, but there is a very quiet and elegant garden in the back, the forest is full of bamboo, primrose and red flowers are intertwined.
Xing'er was coming out of the house, and was about to go to the street to look for Hongyang, but from a distance she saw Hongyang and Su Yi entering the garden one after the other, her eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce color, and she gritted her teeth and turned back to the house.
At this time, the emperor was in the private room in the backyard to review the recitals sent by the palace, and Wu Shulai saw Xu Zhenhai standing in front of the door, so he walked outside the door and asked in a low voice, "But are you back?" ”
"Yes." Xu Zhenhai replied.
"It's good to be back." Wu Shulai nodded.
"It's just ......" Xu Zhenhai glanced at the figure in the room and hesitated.
Wu Shulai saw Xu Zhenhai looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he took a few steps to the side and motioned for Xu Zhenhai to approach. Xu Zhenhai attached to Wu Shulai's ear and said: "On the way back, Qiu Ruo and Qin Han went to the vegetable field, and Su Yi came back with the fifth master. ”
"What?" Wu Shulai was taken aback, seeing Xu Zhenhai's affirmation, he only felt uneasy, waved his hand to signal Xu Zhenhai to leave, thought for a moment outside the door and then walked to the house, thinking about how to reply when he heard the emperor ask, "Are you back?" ”
Wu Shulai suddenly looked up and saw that the emperor only looked down at the song and did not raise his head, and he couldn't see the expression on his face, so he said cautiously: "Yes." ”
The emperor put the fold in his hand on the bookcase, picked up the pen and annotated it carefully, Wu Shulai said hesitantly: "Su Yi came back with the fifth master." ”
The pen peak in the emperor's hand was suddenly stunned, looking at the excerpt of the pen and suddenly forgot what to write on it, only the scene of Hongyang hugging Su Yi under the corridor came to mind, and he looked at the excerpt in a daze but did not put down the pen.
Wu Shulai looked at the emperor's appearance, but he was slightly uneasy in his heart.
The next day, after Su Yifang finished washing, he faintly heard a noisy sound in the distance, and when he walked to the front, he found that the sound came from the street.
Qiu Ruo also ran over, stood in front of the door and looked at the bustling crowd on the street and praised: "It's so lively!" ”
Su Yi nodded yes, but saw a five or six-year-old child who was squeezed by the crowd and fell aside, hurriedly helped the child up, patted the child's clothes, the child rubbed his eyes and cried, Su Yi gently coaxed: "Good, it doesn't hurt...... Oh...... Don't cry, don't cry......"
A woman was hurriedly looking for the child in the street, and when she heard the child's cry, she ran to this side, grabbed the child, and reprimanded, "Sanwa, why did you come here?" ”
The child raised his eyes to look at the woman, and called out pitifully, "Mother......"
When the woman saw Su Yi looking at them with concern, she smiled mildly and said, "Thank you, girl." With that, he took the child's hand and walked towards the crowd.
Su Yi looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, still with a little smile on her lips, and suddenly heard a voice sound: "This Flower God Festival is really unprecedented, and it is very lively." ”
Su Yi thought it was a customer in the store who spoke, and she didn't turn her head back, but only answered in a low voice.
Then the man said, "Let's go and eat, and let's go and see." ”
Su Yizheng felt strange, turned around and saw Hongli looking at her, his eyes were gentle, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but Hongli looked at the street again and turned around and walked back to the inn.
