Chaole country is the country of flowers, this continent has a pleasant climate, autumn and winter are as warm as spring, very conducive to the cultivation of flowers, the flower varieties of Chaole country are excellent and of high quality, and are exported to other countries. The Lotus Flower Festival is the ancient traditional festival of Chaole Country, on this day, every family will hang a basket on the door, the basket is filled with flowers, and the petals will be sprinkled within ten meters of the door, and the street is also full of hawkers pushing a whole vehicle of flowers, and the people on the street are also holding flowers in their hands, and the whole Xiangcheng will be filled with refreshing fragrance in the night of the Lotus Flower Festival.
Originally, the festival was a ritual for flower farmers to pray for good weather next year, but over time it evolved into a festival for unmarried men and women to express their hearts, and those who were not married would give the flower in their hands to their sweethearts.
In the blink of an eye, it was night, Xiangcheng was brightly lit, like daytime, the boys and girls had already gone out early, and the streets were crowded with people.
At this time, Bai Ke was a little confused standing in front of the dressing mirror, just going out for a spin, do you really need to dress up like this?
The blue full-breasted skirt is well embroidered, the light gauze and brocade color scheme is exquisite, outlining her graceful figure, the silver hosta and step sway are shining in the black hair, and the small face is slightly powdered, making the cold and alienated Bai Ke look delicate and amazing.
Yan Jue stood aside, his eyes straight, but when he came back to his senses, he shook his head again and again.
"No, no, no! The lady is so beautiful and can't rest assured that she is on the street for her husband, if those men are staring at the lady, what should be done for the husband? You can't go up and pick at their eyeballs......" Yan Jue thought for a while, and said, "Otherwise, how about a lady going out in men's clothes?" ”
Wouldn't that be the time to change clothes and comb your hair, and have that time... It's better to practice martial arts.
"Trouble, next time."
"Lord Tang has arrived, and he is waiting in the carriage outside the door, and he asked the old slave to urge and tell the master of the house to hurry up."
"Well, got it, here it is."
Tang Danian asked Steward Wu to go to Xihua Courtyard to spread the word, Yan Jue saw that the current situation could only be like this, so he no longer bothered with Bai Ke's clothes, took his own fan and took Bai Ke to the front hall, and the Wu housekeeper who followed Xiao Jiu on the side whispered secretly, Haosheng instructed, the people on the street told Xiao Jiu to protect Yan Jue, Xiao Jiu, who had seen the wind and waves, was naturally confident, and packed the ticket with Steward Wu.
Before going out, Steward Feng gave each of them a flower according to the festival customs, and Xiao Jiu, who was following behind, took a look at it and threw it away directly, but Xiaofu happily took it in her hand.
Yan Jue and Bai Ke got into Tang Danian's carriage.
"Brother Da Nian, long time no see."
Yan Jue got into the carriage and said hello to Tang Danian first, turned around and grabbed Bai Ke's hand and pulled her into the carriage, but he didn't get a response from Tang Danian, he couldn't help but turn his head and find that Tang Danian was looking at Bai Ke with straight eyes, and hurriedly pulled Bai Ke to sit down beside him, stretched out his hand in front of Tang Danian and shook it.
"Ahem, Brother Danian, friend's wife! Friend's wife! Wake up! The eyes are flying out! ”
"Oops, hahahaha! I never thought that my brother and sister would be so beautiful, which made me lose my temper for a while, Brother Yan is not strange! No wonder! ”
Tang Danian and Yan Jue are close friends, serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in the imperial court, the older Yan Jue is two years old, although he is not a beautiful man, but he is also a beautiful man, and he is wearing a pink satin robe on his body now, how to say that he is a graceful man, but compared with Yan Jue, who looks like a fairy, he was thrown out of several streets. Yan Jue has always been plain in his clothes on weekdays, but today in order to be worthy of Bai Ke, he deliberately wore a white brocade robe and sat with Bai Ke.
Yan Jue knew Tang Danian's temperament, although he seemed to be clever and clever, but he was very upright in his heart and had no bad intentions, so he didn't care about him.
"Huh? Why didn't my sister-in-law come with me? ”
Yan Jue saw that Tang Danian was alone today, so he asked casually, he just noticed that Bai Ke's hands were cold, and when he was talking to Tang Danian, he broke the flower in his hand and inserted it on Bai Ke's head, and then pulled one of Bai Ke's hands and wrapped it in the palm of his hand to warm her hands.
"Yesterday she said that she missed her parents very much, so I agreed to allow her to go back to her parents' house for two days."
"Oh, I see."
Regarding Yan Jue's move, Bai Ke did not refuse due to Tang Danian's presence, but there was a bit of coldness between his eyebrows.
"Delicate flowers with beauties, Brother Yan is so elegant."
Tang Danian praised the two, Bai Ke's eyes flowed, and he felt that Tang Danian was very literate, thinking that if she could praise Xiaofu with this sentence of 'delicate flowers with beauty' in the garden in the early morning, Xiaofu would be very happy, but Bai Ke didn't expect that Tang Danian would actually send the flowers to her after speaking, but Yan Jue seemed to have expected him to make this move, and intercepted and grabbed the flowers in Tang Danian's hands halfway and threw them out of the car window.
"My lady's ice muscles and jade bones are naturally more dusty with white flowers, if it is matched with the pink flower of the eldest brother, wouldn't it look vassal, elegant and vulgar!"
"Hahahaha, a pun, I haven't seen Brother Yan's speech for a few days, and he is really getting more and more clever!"
