The goose-yellow spring flowers flew from behind the fence wall without warning to Zhuang Meiyan's eyes, and a large area of bright colors shook people's eyes.

Zhuang Meiyan tilted her head slightly, and the delicate branches swept mischievously across her cheeks, itching unbearably.

A lively face appeared behind the flowers, bright and harmless eyes fluttered, and the corners of the mouth slightly hooked bloomed with a gentle smile.

Zhuang Meiyan's slightly frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he said angrily: "Xiaobai, what are you doing? ”

"You picked this flower?" Zhuang Meiyan asked idly while taking the spring flower, fiddling with it.

Xiao Bai smiled silently.

"Lady, hehe, flowers for the lady. ”

Zhuang Meiyan couldn't help blushing, and the red spot on the right cheek was even more delicate. Sister-in-law Yang on the side saw the spring flowers in Zhuang Meiyan's arms, and smiled shyly: "The first bouquet of dew-stained spring flowers picked from the cliff in spring will bring good luck to the girl, and the girl will have a happy event this year." ”

There is a custom in Qiyang Mountain, when the spring flowers are in full bloom in early spring, the warriors in the mountains climb the steepest cliff with their bare hands, take a bunch of flowers that bloom first in spring, and dedicate them to their favorite girl, wishing her beauty as beautiful as spring flowers, and their friendship will be as fragrant and sweet as spring.

Therefore, the mountain people think that the girl who gets the spring flowers in the spring will definitely have a happy event that year.

Zhuang Meiyan's face was even redder, embarrassed, and was twisting, Chunju came out of nowhere, this Nizi probably overheard this conversation, and said with added vinegar: "Slave maid, what Sister-in-law Yang said makes some sense, Miss really said this year, maybe it was what the scholars said, so what's the matter, what does Hongluan move." ”

"Hongluan will get a good son-in-law when he launches. Rong Xi, who was reading in the room, suddenly interjected.

Zhuang Meiyan glanced at Chunju, turned around and shouted at Rong Xijiao in the room: "Read your book well, learn some clichés there, nonsense!"

Rong Xi stuck out his tongue and quickly retracted his head from the open wooden-framed window.

She sank her face, and said to Xiaobai, who gestured her fingers: "In the future, you are not allowed to go to the mountains to learn to pick flowers and be naughty, otherwise you won't have to eat dinner." Flowers and plants, I am not uncommon. ”

She threw the flower in Xiaobai's arms in a slightly annoyed way, Xiaobai scratched the top of her head, pursed her lips, and looked around blankly, completely unaware of what she had done wrong.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Chunju quickly lowered her head, looked at the green satin embroidered shoes with her eyes, and pouted: "Miss, don't worry, since Miss doesn't like flowers, then I will ask the people sent by Duanmu Gongzi to send the flowers sent from thousands of miles away to the capital as they are." ”

Zhuang Meiyan was taken aback and couldn't help blurting out.

"Don't--"

As soon as the words came out, he felt even more embarrassed, glanced at Chunju hatefully, and said in a low voice: "Little hoof, when did Duanmu Gongzi send someone over?"

Chunju smiled and hugged her arm, and said a little proudly: "The slave just said, how can Miss be willing to throw away the things sent by Duanmu Gongzi? Even if it is a piece of grass, it will never be left on the side of the road." Therefore, the slaves and maids have taken matters into their own hands, and have already let them plant in the back of the house. ”

As Chunju spoke, she led Zhuang Meiyan to the back of the house.

There is a bamboo forest a little behind the house, and there is still a clearing between the bamboo forest and the old house, where peach trees with buds have grown out of thin air, and the buds are waiting to be released. There is still snow behind the house that has not melted, and suddenly people have the illusion of time and space.

Spring in the north comes late, the peach blossoms will not come until the end of April, and now it is only the beginning of February, Zhuang Meiyan has been in the capital before, knowing that even in the warm and humid climate of the capital, the peach blossoms will not bloom until the beginning of March, why does this tree bloom so early?

Looking at Zhuang Meiyan stunned, Yu Feng, who was in charge of supervising the work next to him, arched his hand and said: "Meiyan girl, a few days ago, my master came to the garden for a walk, and saw that the warm peach blossoms in the garden were beginning to bud, so he asked the villain to send a tree of peach blossoms to the girl to see a fresh. The villain hurried all the way, and finally arrived at the girl's residence before the flowering time. ”

Chunju couldn't help but be surprised: "How did you move the tree over such a long way?"

It is not easy to survive during the flowering transplant, and after walking for so many days, Zhuang Meiyan can't help but wonder.

Yufeng explained: "The villain accompanied the workers who were responsible for the warmth of the flowers, the owner was afraid of the long distance, the loss of flowers and trees, specially let people dig three peach trees and send them over, to Qiyang Mountain, fortunately there is still this tree alive, the workers said that this flower is protected by thatch to protect the main trunk, and it will bloom after watering tomorrow morning." ”

Zhuang Meiyan raised his head and looked at a tree of pink dots, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to his thoughts, so that Meiyan can also see the peach blossoms in the capital, please go back to thank Meiyan for memorial, Meiyan Fu is light, how can you afford such a beautiful thing!"

Yu Feng bowed his head to listen to the training, and his form was respectful.

Zhuang Meiyan sighed, and said: "I'm tired of you coming from afar, all the way hard, please go to the hall to drink a glass of light wine." ”

She turned her head and told Chunju to prepare a meal for reception.

Yu Feng arched his hand and said: "Don't dare to disturb the girl, I will rush back to the capital to report to the master, so I will leave." ”

Zhuang Meiyan did not force him to stay, but only asked Chunju to seal a few ingots of silver with red paper and give them to Yufeng, and the right to use them as road capital. Yufeng insisted on not accepting it, and Zhuang Meiyan was not reluctant, so he found a few jars of good wine for Yufeng to take back, and chatted to express his gratitude.

Chunju was puzzled, and took advantage of no one's place to ask: "Miss, Duanmu Gongzi sent flowers for thousands of miles, how can it be compared to a few jars of water and wine?"

Zhuang Meiyan sneered.

"It's a shame that you're a clever person, and you don't even know the secret. I'm just asking you, have you ever heard that the peach blossoms bloom in February?"

Chunju shook her head.

"It's not all said that the peach blossoms bloom in March, but it's a rare thing. ”

"Rare is rare, all things are abnormal that is a demon, and strange things are no matter how good they are, but I am afraid they will not last long. ”

Chunju still didn't understand, and couldn't help muttering: "How can it be bad if things are rare and expensive? Who doesn't like rare things?"

When she said this, the young lady had already walked far away and did not hear it, Chunju looked at the back of the young lady, and suddenly felt that the background was a little lonely.

On the second day, the peach blossoms really bloomed, the whole village was a sensation, everyone came to see a rarity, and the private legend said that this thing was a fairy thing, and it was taken from the Nine Heavens Fairyland. The mountain people are stupid, they don't know what to do, and they are more and more unbearable to spread falsehoods, and from then on, everyone is even more respectful of Zhuang Meiyan like a god, that is a later word, not for the time being.

Chunju felt that since the peach blossoms bloomed, the young lady not only did not see a happy face, but became even more depressed, sitting under the peach blossoms for several days, not talking, and not being accompanied. Chunju couldn't guess Miss's thoughts, so she only looked at it from a distance, not daring to disturb.

Zhuang Meiyan sat under the tree by herself, and the peach blossoms bloomed all over the tree. As the wind said, on the second day, these buds will be fragrant, full of pink, but the flowering period is shorter than the season, less than a day will wither, the flowers fall like snow, fluttering and sprinkling, and bloom and fail, as if time on this tree suddenly shortened, short enough to watch a flower's life, bloom and gorgeous, and then wither.

Zhuang Meiyan wore a white gown, which was soon decorated with pink petals, as if embroidering many peach blossoms on her clothes, which was very beautiful.

The bamboo forest behind him suddenly moved, and Zhuang Meiyan heard the abnormality, but he didn't turn his head, but said softly: "Come out." ”
