Chapter Ninety-Four: A Bouquet of Chrysanthemums

Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!

Mrs. Lu recently had a strange dream, in which someone pinched her neck, and she woke up with palpitations. When people get older, they are more superstitious, and they are always uneasy, as if something big is about to happen.

It just so happened that I received a post from Lingshan Temple, and the annual chrysanthemum feast is about to begin.

Lin Shan Temple is a royal temple, located on Wuling Mountain outside the city, because the youngest sister of the first emperor, the little aunt of the current saint, the eldest princess is here to cultivate, so this place is more noble and mysterious.

Lin San Temple hosts a flower-viewing banquet between September and October every year, and the ladies and ladies of various families are invited.

At that time, the former eldest princess, now the Miaoyin Shitai will personally study the questions, and if the answer of the young lady and lady is in the eye, you will get the opportunity to meet alone. As everyone knows, the emperor attaches great importance to filial piety, and the eldest princess is the emperor's little aunt, whose status has always been respected, and the emperor will personally visit the eldest princess here every year.

Therefore, at the annual chrysanthemum banquet, the ladies and ladies of various families are crowded and want to go. The people invited to the banquet were all of a very high rank, and they were basically the relatives of officials above the second rank in the DPRK and China.

The level of the Lu family is high enough, but Bai Susu is not qualified to go to this kind of banquet, she is just an insignificant concubine, and she didn't take it to heart when she knew the news.

She didn't take it seriously, but Mrs. Lu attached great importance to it, she remembered her dream, and her anxiety intensified a lot. Thinking that Bai Susu is now a child far away, he is ready to let her go with him and pray for peace in the Buddhist Gate.

Bai Susu followed the wives of the Lu family to Lingshan Temple in this way, and originally Luo was supposed to go, but she fell ill the day before the banquet and didn't go.

I set off early in the morning and walked for two hours to get to the place.

Lin San Temple is located at the top of Wuling Mountain, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and the carriage must come down when it is halfway through. There are 1,400 steps to climb up the mountain, and Bai Susu looked at the endless steps, and she especially wanted to say if she could go back.

In the end, remembering that she was pregnant, she was allowed to sit in a small sedan chair all the way up the mountain, and stopped more than a hundred steps away from Lingshan Temple, and Bai Susu walked up by herself.

The temperature on the mountain is much lower than at the bottom of the mountain, and it is obviously a little cold when you go up the mountain, but the good thing is that the air is fresher.

Green mountains and green waters, I have to say that this is really a good place.

The place where Master Miaoyin Taiqing cultivated was in a temple behind Lin San Temple, and as soon as they went up the mountain, a little novice led them over.

The Taoist temple of Miaoyin Shitai is called the fairy wind view, this season the mountains are full of chrysanthemums/flowers, and the eyes are a golden yellow, which is very good-looking.

There were a lot of people invited this time, and Bai Susu took a cursory glance, and there were at least dozens of people.

The venue of the banquet is in the chrysanthemum/flower bush, drinking chrysanthemum/flower tea, eating chrysanthemum/flower cake, and leaving a fragrant mouth.

At the beginning, this flower-viewing banquet was because the emperor thought that his little aunt was still cultivating in the Qing Dynasty, so he wanted to let the juniors accompany him to relieve his boredom. At first, the eldest princess refused, but she couldn't stand the emperor's kindness, so she picked a chrysanthemum/flower bloom between September and October every year, and sent a post, inviting all the ladies and ladies to go to enjoy the flowers together.

This is how the flower-viewing banquet came, and it has been many years.

Nowadays, I can receive the post of the eldest princess, which symbolizes the status in Beijing, and Lingshan Temple has always been a blessed place, and the ladies and ladies of various families also like to worship the Buddha here and listen to Zen.

Although the banquet was held under the banner of the eldest princess, the eldest princess would not really sit with them and talk and laugh. They were entertained by the eldest princess's personal attendant and clerical attendant.

Bai Susu was mixed in the midst of the ladies and ladies, not conspicuous at all, after eating quietly. The clerk led them into a room.

"This year's topic is to fill this room with ten cents. Whoever fills the most wins. The clerk looked at the crowd, "You have two hours to think. ”

For a while, everyone was silent, and everyone was thinking about how to solve this problem.

Bai Susu felt that she couldn't think of such a difficult question in her brain, so she took advantage of the fact that everyone else was thinking hard and went to the back mountain with Chunlan to enjoy the flowers.

The back mountain chrysanthemum/flowers bloom better than the front, two hours, Bai Susu is not playing, and when I go back, I just in time for the clerk to ask for the answer.

The first to come out to answer the question was Miss Sun from the Jiangnan General Soldier's Mansion, who didn't know where to move more than a dozen stacks of grass into the house, and it was full.

"Isn't that full?" She raised her head and looked smug.

The clerk smiled, "Not to mention whether your answer is correct or not, these straws are more than ten cents." So your answer is incorrect. Then he looked at the crowd and asked, "Who else can answer?" ”

Immediately after that, a few more ladies of the family came out to answer, and the clerks and waiters all smiled, and they took out a lot of things, and bought a handkerchief for ten cents, and someone bought a piece of wood.

Ten cents is really too little, and it is really difficult to buy things and fill the house.

There was silence for a while, and then a beautiful voice like a yellow oriole sounded, and Miss Shen, the daughter of a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, stood up, only to see Miss Shen take out a candle and light it on the table, "The light fills the room, I don't know if this answer is qualified?" ”

The clerk nodded, "Miss Shen's answer is good. ”

It's okay, it's not entirely true.

Miss Shen was not convinced, and immediately asked, "I don't know where to go back, please ask the waiter to correct me." ”

The clerk smiled faintly and pointed to the utensils in the room, "The light has a shadow on it, how can it be considered completely filled?" ”

Miss Shen choked, her face a little sneered.

It wasn't the perfect answer, but it was a pretty good answer, and after her answer, no one answered. The questions are tricky, and the answers are unexpected, and they can only be used for ten cents, and more is not qualified.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the clerk waiter suddenly laughed and said, "Who picked the chrysanthemums/flowers in the backyard?" ”

Everyone else also smelled the fragrance of flowers, and when they turned their heads back in search of the fragrance, they saw leukin holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums/flowers.

Many people don't know Bai Susu, and they are secretly speculating whose wife this is, why do they not understand the rules so much.

The chrysanthemums/flowers on Wuling Mountain can only be seen, not picked casually, because the eldest princess likes chrysanthemums/flowers very much and does not allow others to destroy them.

"The waiter forgives her sins, Aunt Bai didn't understand the rules for the first time, and she was reckless." It was Lu Er's wife Qiu who spoke.

The waiter didn't seem to pay attention to Mrs. Lu's explanation, and only looked at Bai Susu, "Do you know what kind of crime it is to pick chrysanthemums/flowers without authorization?" ”

Bai Susu was frightened, she just picked a bouquet of flowers in the back mountain, how did she know that she could still be guilty.

"Our aunt didn't pick it up casually, she bought it." Chunlan was angry and said.

Bai Susu stretched out his hand and pulled La Chunlan, signaling her to be quiet, just now when they were picking flowers, they passed by a little Shani, and said that they were flower thieves, Bai Susu thought that it was really bad for him to steal flowers, so he took out ten yuan to Xiao Shani.

Of course, she was forced into someone else, and then she ran away.

"Bought?" The waiter seemed to hear something interesting, "Who did you buy it from, and to whom did you give the money?" ”

The words were all asked, but there was no way, Bai Susu had no choice but to say that he handed over the money to Xiao Shami.

As soon as the words fell, a little Shani ran in outside the door, ran to the clerk and said, "Waiter, someone picked chrysanthemums/flowers in the back mountain just now, and forced me to give me ten cents." As he spoke, he spread out his palms to reveal the ten copper plates he was holding.

The clerk originally thought that Bai Susu was talking nonsense, but she didn't think that she had really paid.

"Do you remember what that man was like, and if he was here?" The clerk spoke.

Xiao Shani was stunned and turned his head to look around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Susu's face, stretched out his hand and pointed at her and said, "It's her, it's the money she gave." ”

Bai Susu can't wait to lock his head in his clothes, it's really embarrassing.

Everyone was waiting to see the joke, but the clerk smiled, "Today there is a correct answer to this question." ”

Miss Shen was holding the winning ticket, her face was proud, and she couldn't hold back the smile on her face the next moment, so she just listened to the clerk and waiter, "Congratulations to this Aunt Bai, you answered the question correctly." ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, even Bai Susu himself was stunned.

Did she answer right?

But she didn't seem to answer any questions.

"I'm not convinced, she didn't answer any questions at all." There is no need for Bai Susu to ask himself, but others have questioned it.

Naturally, it was Miss Shen, who was flushed with anger, and although the others did not speak, their eyes were also full of doubts.

The clerk smiled and said to Bai Susu, "I'm tired of this aunt stepping forward." ”

Bai Susu was naturally stunned and took a few steps forward, and when she stepped into the house, the room was suddenly filled with a chrysanthemum/flower fragrance. The clerk smiled, "Do you understand? ”

Miss Shen could think of using light to illuminate the room, and her brain was naturally enough, and she was the first to understand the key, and her face became ugly.

Fragrance is fragrance, the light may not be full because there are shadows, but the fragrance will not, just a handful of chrysanthemums/flowers is needed to fill the whole room with fragrance.

Immediately afterwards, many people also understood, of course, many people did not include leukin.

She was still confused, and she didn't know how she could answer the right question, but she still pretended not to ask, and she was ridiculed when the time came. She thought that when she went back in the evening, she would ask her family, Lord Lu, who was well-informed, and he must have understood.

In this way, Bai Susu was led to the eldest princess Miaoyin's house.

This is the first time Bai Susu has seen this eldest princess, she is chanting scriptures in the house, she opened her eyes when she heard the voice, and her calm eyes fell on Bai Susu's face.

"Are you the one who answered the question?"
