Chapter 80 Zheng Wenjun Travels to Zhuangzi - Middle
"I didn't expect that the embroidery screen that money can't buy in the capital turned out to be embroidered by you, sister Youran? It's really remarkable! On the way to Zhuangzi, Zheng Wenjun said excitedly.
Leisurely smiled and didn't say anything.
"Hey, Sister Youran, can you embroider one for me? I queued up for a long time in Beijing, but it didn't take my turn! Now that I know who embroidered this screen, I can take a shortcut and not queue up! Zheng Wenjun still asked her excitedly.
"Queue? Shouldn't such a screen be auctioned? Why do you have to queue up? He looked at him in bewilderment.
"It's not leisurely sister, this embroidered screen you embroidered is beautiful and special!" Zheng Wenjun patiently explained to her, "This treasure embroidery workshop opened on the first day in the capital, and this screen was placed in the most conspicuous place, which caused a lot of sensation for a while!" As long as there is a face in Beijing, I basically look for the shopkeeper to order, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper of the store to say that this embroidery screen is only sold four times a year, and it will be sold in the form of auction. ”
nodded leisurely, she knew this, after all, what she said at the beginning was to sell it at auction; However, she was puzzled, "Since it's an auction, why do you still need to queue up?" ”
Zheng Wenjun glanced at her obliquely and said, "Sister Youran is so stupid!" Of course, there were so many people that the first auction almost overwhelmed the store! Later, the boss came up with a solution, which was to stipulate that at each auction, only the top 100 who were allowed to be present were eligible to compete. So before the auction, everyone squeezed their heads to earn the top 100. ”
"Oh, I see."
Sikong Mingyi and Qin Yanran, who were beside them, listened to the conversation between the two and walked slowly; At this time, Sikong Mingyi, who had never spoken much, opened his mouth and asked the people around him, "The Zhen Embroidery Workshop in Beijing is also opened by the Mo Qi family, right?" ”
Qin Haoran nodded in response: "Well, yes, what's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I should have thought that the unique and stunning embroidered screen came from a leisurely hand; After all, no embroiderer can have such exquisite thoughts and unique embroidery skills. Sikong Mingyi turned his head to look at him and said with a shallow smile.
"Heh, I thought you should have guessed it the last time you saw You'er's embroidery!" He said that the last time the flower dynasty was a talented girl competition, the part of the embroidery, that competition, Youer's embroidery is the first, and the embroidery method on it is not inferior to double-sided heterochromatic embroidery.
"Yes, I should have guessed it at that time, but the leisurely embroidery skills at that time were very different from those on the screen, so I didn't think much about other aspects." Otherwise, he would have looked for Youran to embroider the screen a long time ago, and now he wouldn't let Zheng Wenjun take his turn to be in front of him!
"Sister Youran, how is it? Will you promise to embroider one for me? How about the price set at 10,000 taels? Zheng Wenjun asked again.
looked at him with a leisurely smile, and felt that other people were quite good except for talking a little bit and being able to block people when they spoke; And he is also Sikong Mingyi's cousin, so it should be considered to give Sikong Mingyi a face.
"Okay, but forget the silver, just treat it as a greeting gift!" nodded leisurely, "Are you in a hurry?" If I'm not in a hurry, I'll embroider slowly......"
"No hurry, no hurry!" When Zheng Wenjun saw that she agreed, he almost jumped up with joy, as long as she was willing to embroider, he could wait for as long as he wanted.
Leisurely, the four of them plus their respective guards and maidservants, the group quickly walked to the Zhuangzi, after all, it is not far away!
As soon as you enter the gate of Ruzhuangzi, you will see rows of peonies in full swing, red, yellow, and even green, which is really eye-catching!
"It's the first time I've seen a green peony!" Zheng Wenjun looked at the delicate green peonies that bloomed one by one in a daze, and muttered.
"Yes......" Sikong Mingyi also looked at it with a new face, and responded unconsciously.
"Hehe, what a coincidence that you came, You'er planted hundreds of flowers in Zhuangzi not long ago, and now is the period of a hundred flowers. Let's take a look. Qin Yanran stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture towards them.
“…… Good! Zheng Wenjun finally reacted, immediately nodded in agreement, and followed him in one direction with Sikong Mingyi.
"Look at the flower forest in front of you, where chrysanthemums and peaches are grown." Qin Haoran walked through the peony field with them, introducing them as he went.
Except for the people of the Qin family, the rest of the people all raised their eyes curiously and looked in the direction of Qin Yanran's finger. I saw a pink flower forest not far away, which opened like a dream.
"Chrysanthemum peach?" Zheng Wenjun, who likes to ask questions, immediately expressed his doubts, but his eyes never left the flower forest for a while.
Qin Haoran walked over slowly with everyone, and answered all of Zheng Wenjun's questions by the way, "It is a kind of peach blossom tree, because the shape of the flower resembles a chrysanthemum, so it is named." ”
"Oh? Are you sure? I'm going to see ......" walked briskly for a few minutes, and arrived at the chrysanthemum peach forest before them, "Wow! Mingyi, come on, it's really like a chrysanthemum! It's so beautiful! ”
Sikong Mingyi's interest was also raised, and after hearing his cousin's call, he walked a few steps and soon arrived at the flower forest.
Walking in the chrysanthemum peach forest, there is really a feeling of walking into a fairyland. The plants are not very tall, and the top is luxuriant with pink peach blossoms; From a distance, it looks like pink clouds, one by one, and it's so beautiful!
Suddenly, Sikong Mingyi remembered the poem he wrote leisurely during the Flower Dynasty Festival, and couldn't help but chant out, "The peach is dying, scorching its bloom; The son is home, and it is appropriate for him to live in his room. The peach is dying, and there is a fact; The son is home, and his family room is appropriate. The peach is dying, and its leaves are very; The son is home, and his family should ......"
"Good poetry!" Zheng Wenjun's eyes were bright and shining, and the folding fan in his hand slapped on the palm of his hand, and said appreciatively: "Wonderful!" What a delight! Mingyi's knowledge has improved again! ”
Sikong Mingyi suddenly woke up, he didn't expect that he would say it unconsciously, and said with a little embarrassment: "This is not the ...... I wrote"
Zheng Wenjun was curious, and naturally asked, "Who wrote that?" So talented? ”
Sikong Mingyi didn't speak, but his eyes unconsciously looked in a leisurely direction.
Zheng Wenjun couldn't help but open his mouth slightly, and asked him uncertainly, "You mean to say that this poem was written by Sister Youran?" Wow! This level, a proper talented girl! ”
"Well, this year's talented girl of the Flower Dynasty is indeed her!" Sikong Mingyi nodded calmly and said.
“…… Feed! What's the deal with your proud expression? Zheng Wenjun looked at him calmly on the surface, but actually happy in his heart, how unpleasant it was!
"Do you really think that if I say a few words of 'your leisurely sister', you think she is really yours? I was just joking, and didn't you keep emphasizing that she wasn't yours? ”
The corners of Sikong Mingyi's slightly hooked lips suddenly stopped there, slowly withdrew his gaze, glanced at him coldly, and then walked away from his side.
"Qi-" Zheng Wenjun pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "I'm really angry!" When I said that you had a relationship with her, I repeatedly denied it, and now I say that it doesn't matter, and I am angry again, it's really hard to serve! ”
After speaking, he walked after Sikong Mingyi; Because their group is going to the next place.
Passing through the chrysanthemum peach forest, you will see a large field of fiery roses; Next to the rose field is a large field of hydrangeas of full colors.
The rose field is as red as fire, and it is very demonic; Hydrangea fields, gorgeous and colorful, icing on the cake. Each of these two flower fields has its own unique characteristics, and each has its own charm.
"The red fields are roses, and the colored ones are hydrangeas." Qin Haoran introduced.
"Why do you want to plant these two flowers together?" Sikong Mingyi asked strangely, because he saw that there were roses of other colors behind the red rose field, why did the rose field have separate colors, and the hydrangea field was mixed with various colors?
"Because, these two flowers have a very beautiful legend." Pursed his lips and smiled, and replied leisurely.
"Oh? What legend? Sister Leisurely, let's talk about it! Zheng Wenjun's eyes lit up, and he looked at leisurely with joy.
Leisurely looked at all the people around her, watching them blink and stare at her with a pair of eyes, all looking expectant.
He couldn't help but say, "Okay, I'll tell you." ”
After pondering for a moment, he spoke slowly, "Hydrangea actually has a nice name, called hydrangea. According to legend, before the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, when they had dinner at the Eight Immortals table, He Xiangu saw that the place where they had dinner was beautiful and picturesque, but there was not even a single wild flower in such a beautiful place, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity; So she took the seeds of fairy flowers and scattered them on this beautiful land for the icing on the cake. The following year, at the same time that He Xiangu sowed the seeds, the mountains and fields here were full of eight-colored flowers, and people called that place the Eight Immortal Mountains from then on, and the eight-colored fairy flowers were the Eight Hydrangeas. ”
"That's great!" Wanyun was a little obsessed when she heard it, and couldn't help but praise it.
smiled at her leisurely, and continued: "Because this flower is related to the Eight Immortals, there is a saying in the saying 'The Eight Immortals cross the sea, each shows their magical powers', so the flower language of this flower is hope, health, happiness, and reunion."
"What about roses?" Qin Haoran had never heard his sister tell the story of these flowers, but this time he heard it by chance, and he also heard it a little interesting.
"The story of roses is a bit poignant." "Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a pair of believers who loved Buddhism, and the man had a warm personality and was called Lover; The woman's personality is tender and named Lover. One day, the lover and the lover met, and they hit it off at first sight, and they had a good conversation, so they agreed to travel all over the world together to find the truest Buddha. ”
Leisurely said slowly, while walking in the direction of the stone bench next to the road. It was made by the workers in the Zhuangzi not long ago, in case they were tired of enjoying the flowers, so that they could sit down and rest.
Leisurely sat down, then motioned with her eyes for them all to sit down, and listened to her continue the story above.
"One day they came to a very beautiful place, where there were mountains and waters; In the mountains they came across two beautiful budding flowers, whose names they did not know because they had never seen them; They were very curious, and their lover decided to go up and pick one so that they could have a good view. Unexpectedly, as soon as the hand touched the flower stalk, it was pierced by the spikes above, and a bright drop of blood immediately flowed out of the finger; The lover saw it, took his hand to check it in distress, and inadvertently shed a drop of pure tears. ”
After a leisurely pause, because she talked too much and her mouth was a little dry, she swallowed her saliva, "A drop of blood and a tear fell at the same time, and they fell on the two buds respectively." After that, they didn't have the heart to study the two flowers, and walked down the mountain together. When they got to the bottom of the mountain, they suddenly realized that they were Buddhists and that two people could not be together forever, so they smiled and parted, and each turned away. ”
After that, they walked through some places, and both of them secretly prayed in their hearts that they would see each other in the next place, even if it was just one face! But in the end, the lover went to heaven, but the lover went to the earth. Only then did they finally realize that perhaps this was the revelation that the Buddha had given them! ”
"From then on, the lover was in the sky, and his name was changed to 'Yue Lao', and he hoped that his lover would forget him, and the lover was in the ground, and he was renamed 'Meng Po', and she hoped that his lover would remember her."
"But the heavens often don't follow people's wishes. Single-mindedly thinking that his lover would not remember his old age, what he did in heaven was to make a pair of lovers eventually become married; He used the small red threads in his hands to tie them together, but who knew that the red threads were actually drops of his bright blood. And Meng Po, who wants her lover to remember her, what she does in the underworld is to boil soup, so that all the lovers who enter the underworld and are reincarnated forget each other after drinking Meng Po soup; But who knows, the bowls of Meng Po soup are actually all her tears. ”
said leisurely and stopped here, looking at the fiery red roses very quietly; Wanyun and Wanxue, who were standing beside her, were moved by this story, and their eyes slowly turned red.
And all the men around him were also silent, looking at the delicate roses silently......
