Chapter 36: Drinking Under the Moon
"Tomorrow is the third day of the seventh month, and Mrs. Li has held an orchid garden flower party again this year, and it will definitely be as lively as in previous years. I wonder if Brother Mu Huai will go? Zhang Xinrui squeezed her eyebrows at Zhang Xinya, and teased unscrupulously.
Zhang Xinya said shamefully: "Third sister, you talk nonsense again......" At the same time, her cheeks were red, and her little daughter looked shy.
Zhang Xinyu looked at the interaction between the two eyebrows, and asked excitedly: "What will be the flowers in the orchid garden, is there anything fun?"
Zhang Xinya was stunned for a moment, how could she forget that her eldest sister had amnesia, and she was hesitating and didn't know how to speak.
Zhang Xinrui's mind was obviously much less, and when she heard the eldest sister ask, she immediately turned into the old man who told the story in Mingyuelou, cleared her throat and said: "The eldest sister has forgotten, in fact, Lanxiang Garden is the private garden of the general Li Chengmao's family." The garden is full of rare flowers and plants, and the orchid garden is beautiful every year during the blooming season, and there are peacocks. ”
"So there's such a nice place in Kyoto?" Zhang Xinyu said excitedly, with a yearning expression.
"Well, the origin of this orchid garden is still quite romantic, it is said that General Li ran all over the north and south of the river in order to fight the beauty of a smile, and collected a lot of flowers and plants before planting the garden," Zhang Xinrui nodded while saying energetically: "And at that time, Mrs. Li loved peach blossoms very much, so General Li opened up a large area of land and planted a garden of peach trees in the orchid garden, and in spring, it will rain peach blossoms nearby, which is beautiful......"
Peach Blossom Forest?
Zhang Xinyu looked at Xiao Yue quietly, and the latter nodded slightly: Miss, you guessed right, it was the peach forest you cut, and Mrs. Li was still angry and bedridden for half a month.
In order to witness their unswerving relationship, Mrs. Li will hold an orchid garden flower party every year on the third day of the seventh lunar month, inviting all the boys and girls in Kyoto to come to the orchid garden to enjoy the flowers.
Zhang Xinrui naturally skipped Zhang Xinyu and didn't say anything about cutting down people's peach forests. Although she is a little off-line, she is not stupid, and she will not reveal the eldest sister's scars, that is, the eldest sister no longer remembers, and that incident is still very unpleasant.
But what she didn't know was that there was a girl with a ring mouth who was very fast, and she had already exposed the glorious deeds of that person.
The three sisters sat in the house and chatted affectionately all afternoon, and it was not until dinner time that they entered the dining room together.
If it was changed to before, it would have been nothing, although Zhang Xinyu's two younger sisters didn't say much, but they would still say in private, and today's lively chat can be regarded as a real gap.
A full moon shrouded the palace in a hazy veil, a few wisps of wind floated the black hair of the temples of the two men on the ridge, and the sound of running water was intermittent.
"Mi, you seem to have changed!" Long Xuanye raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and the crystal liquid flowed down his perfect chin into the placket embroidered with clouds.
Long Xuanyu's eyes were a little drunk, and he looked at the dozen or so wine jars around him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Brother Huang, tell me, where has the younger brother changed?"
Long Xuanye put down the wine jar and burped, every time he drank with this younger brother, he was so happy, his body and mind were relaxed, just to drink in the dark.
The Longsheng Dynasty had a habit very early, whenever King Xian was out of Kyoto for more than a few months, when he returned, the emperor would leave the morning court, just to get drunk with King Xian. After a long time, some ministers with eyeliner in the palace learned to be treacherous, so they simply didn't go to the court that day, and the province got up early in vain, so it was really better to cover the quilt at home.
"I found that you are different from that girl, you are not so bored and no longer speak ill of her," Long Xuanye leaned on the glazed tiles, squinting at his younger brother: "Is it because she has amnesia?" ”
Long Xuanyu stared at the night, the cold on his body was faint, he didn't know what he thought, he still felt that woman was annoying as before, no, it was even more annoying.
But she will think of her from time to time, thinking of every scene when she loses her memory, where does she get the confidence that she will not strangle her to death in anger?
"It's that woman who has changed, she doesn't bother me anymore, why should I waste my energy for her?"
That was the only reason he could convince himself. It's that she's changed, she's interesting, and she's just magnanimous and doesn't care about her.
Long Xuanye smiled lightly and shook his head, with an unknown hint of interest in his dark eyes.
"Would you like to marry her?"
Long Xuanyu turned his head and looked at Long Xuanye, wanting to find out the meaning of his words.
Long Xuanye dodged that compelling gaze and looked up at the moon: "You have always known the concubine's thoughts, and you also know that I, like you, can't influence her old man's thoughts, if you want to marry the woman you like in the future, I'm afraid you can only let Yu'er be the virtuous princess first." Turning his head and smiling lightly: "I look at you, my eldest prince is already eight years old, look at you again, you are still a child, it's really pitiful." ”
Long Xuanyu's face was a little embarrassed. This is also taken out to say? Does he want that? It wasn't the woman who did it.
Raising his head and pouring down the entire jar of wine, he glared at Long Xuanye and said, "Then the courtier brother wishes the emperor's children and grandchildren a full house." ”
Long Xuanye shook his head and chuckled: "I think Yu'er is much cuter now than before. ”
At least he didn't have to be like a thief every time she entered the palace, worried that his antique calligraphy and paintings would disappear at any time, and his wife would become a big cat at any time, and that day would not be easy.
Long Xuanyu's eyes were tender, she was cute? It seems to be a little bit!
On the second day, the emperor really stopped the court, and a few ministers shook their heads and sighed and walked out of the palace gate.
The sun rose, Zhang Xinya and Zhang Xinrui walked out of Muwang's Mansion hand in hand, thinking that this year's Orchid Garden Flower Party must be as lively as usual. After a while, Zhang Xinyu also took Xiaoyue out of the house.
On the lively street, two handsome sons wandered among the vendors, and Zhang Xinyu shook the folding fan lightly.
"Miss, why do we go to the street to make it look like this, Xiaoyue is not used to it."
Xiaoyue followed Zhang Xinyu like a thief, afraid that others would look at her, this look is so strange!
"You're stupid, I used to be so good at causing trouble, do you want me to come out and scare everyone away, or do you want everyone to run over and beat me? Let go a little, remember to call Childe, and then call the wrong one, I, I'll beat you. ”
Zhang Xinyu closed the folding fan and admired Xiaoyue's violent trembling. Xiaoyue rubbed her head aggrievedly, and her face was full of flattery: "It's still young lady who is smart." ”
Although the street was lively, Zhang Xinyu always felt as if something was missing.
"Today is the day of the Orchid Garden Flower Appreciation Conference, and all the handsome men and women from the age of sixteen to twenty-six in the city have gone to join in the fun, let's go and have a look, maybe we can bring a daughter-in-law back." A handsome man in a blue robe said to his companion as he walked.
"What Brother Lin said is, even if you can't bring a daughter-in-law back, it's very good to go and enjoy it, let's go quickly." Companions in the same company happily echoed.
"Let's go." With that, the two of them walked away
