Chapter 084: Hydrangea(1/2)
Yang Qianjun seemed to understand Chu Xinyu's words, but she thought of the exclusion of Chu Xinyu with the princesses and the princesses in Wutong, so she reminded her: "Wait for the banquet later, be careful yourself. I think Princess Jing'an seems to be targeting you on purpose."
"Well, I know." Jing'an never worried. She just wanted to see her being squeezed and laughed at by these people, and she was happy, and her methods were not just those tricks.
The garden of Hundred Flowers, as the name suggests, has hundreds of precious flowers. From a distance, you can smell the fragrance of the nose, refreshing your heart and plunge from your nose to the tip of your heart.
Everyone rushed to the moon-shaped arch. Chu Xinyu was about to step in when a maid came over on the side suddenly came over and hit her gently.
She didn't care at first, but suddenly there was something on her palm, so she looked at the maid, who looked pretty and fair. The maid smiled at her, said sorry, and then turned around and walked away.
Chu Xinyu held the things in the palm of his hand, said nothing, and walked in.
What comes into view is a sea of flowers, and all kinds of precious flowers bloom here, red, yellow, purple, orange, silver, pink, white, peach, vermilion... It is really colorful and the country is fragrant.
The flowers here are indeed dazzling, but the most eye-catching ones are the graceful ladies of the family who are radiant and graceful, with beautiful faces that are more beautiful than flowers and beautiful, and they are as beautiful as spring red. They feel the wrong thing to know whether to appreciate flowers or people.
After entering, the Princess Chu ordered her daughter, "Zhaoyang, take the girls there to enjoy the flowers first, and look for the hydrangea hidden in the flower group. No matter whether they are found or not, they will go to Baiweiju to attend the table on time at noon, and it will be out of date."
Baiweiju is built in the middle of a sea of flowers. The annual flower banquet is held here. It is very large in area and can accommodate two or three hundred people. Every year, the royal palace sends thirty-eight posts, but nearly one hundred people come. This year is different from previous years. In previous years, no young masters of aristocratic families were invited.
This year, the royal palace sent 88 posts. According to statistics, nearly 200 people came to participate, including nearly 120 ladies from the family, and the rest were the young masters and noble ladies of the aristocratic family.
Because the programs performed in previous years are quite monotonous, it will be different if there are too many people this year. Moreover, the emperor also spoke and would select several of the best royal children who were not married to this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet. In addition, it was the birthday of Princess Zhaoyang, and the Princess Chu gave the gift to extra points, reflecting whether the girl has the virtue of being beautiful and beautiful.
When the Princess Chu took the noble ladies away, Fu Yingwu asked curiously: "Why do you want to find the hydrangea hidden in the flower group?"
Princess Zhaoyang shook her head and said, "I don't know either. Although the test questions were given by her mother, she didn't tell me. In short, you just go and look for them. But you must remember that one person can only find one, and you can't take more, otherwise it will be considered a foul."
The Funing County Lord asked: "What if I can't find it?"
Princess Zhaoyang said: "It's still impossible to find it at noon, so don't look for it. Just go back to Baiweiju as soon as possible."
"Didn't the girls who came in earlier have an advantage over us?" Yao Yuzhen said with some concern. She was the legitimate daughter of the British Duke's Mansion and one of the handkerchiefs of Princess Zhaoyang.
After hearing what Yao Yuzhen said, several other women from the Marquis family were panicked, fearing that they would not be able to find the hydrangea if they were too late.
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. They don't know yet. I will tell them later that you can enjoy the flowers yourself. The maid helps find hydrangeas, because it is also very important to appreciate flowers. My mother will give you questions later."
Their words have been made very clear. Their task is to enjoy the lace while looking for hydrangeas.
Princess Zhaoyang wanted to tell the girl who came in first that they would disperse to appreciate the flowers and find hydrangeas.
"Xinyu, let's go over there."
Yang Qianjun reached out to pull Chu Xinyu's wrist, but Fu Yingwu took the lead and said, "Sister Yu, go find it with us."
Before Chu Xinyu could speak, he heard Princess Jing'an say, "Sister Xiao Wu, it's better to separate things like looking for hydrangeas. If you see hydrangeas together, I don't know if she or you are counted as her."
Fu Yingwu pouted and said, "We didn't find only one, or two, or three."
"What if one is found?"
“…”
Chu Xinyu didn't want Fu Yingwu to be embarrassed, so he patted her hand gently and said, "I won't be with you anymore. There are many opportunities for gatherings in the future, and it's not bad at this time."
"Okay." Fu Yingwu let go of her hand and walked back to Fu Yinghuan.
Fu Yingfu nodded slightly at her, then led Fu Yingwu forward, Princess Jing'an and other girls followed and walked side by side with her.
When they walked away, Yang Qianjun said, "This Miss Fu San is very attached to you, she likes you very much."
Chu Xinyu smiled and said, "She is a simple girl."
Sun Ruoya, who was beside her, said: "She is simple, but her sister is not simple. Look at how thoughtful she gave the pot of chrysanthemums. I guess she won the first prize for the gift this time."
"I don't like that chrysanthemum, it's not as beautiful as Xinyu's handmade flowers." Yang Qianjun talked about the matter, not because Chu Xinyu was her friend.
An Qilan held Yang Qianjun's shoulder and smiled, "You are loyal enough. I will give it to you when my sister finds Hydrangea and ask you to find a good marriage."
Yang Qianjun pushed her away and said, "I don't want it, leave it to you. You are my sister, of course you will marry first."
"Then I'll be a sister, you'll be a sister."
"It's better for me to be a brother, you are a sister, and we will get married."
"It's all incest, how can I do it? I have to soak the pig cage. My sister hasn't married and had children yet to live a good life."
Getting married? Sun Ruoya covered her mouth and smiled, "You two are so embarrassed or not, discussing these in public. Xiaolan, you are not in a way. You are a daughter's family, so you said you have married. Fortunately, there is no one else, otherwise it would be so polite if you are rumored."
Chu Xinyu smiled and said, "That's it, we Xiaoya is so simple. You have these dirty things in your mind. Don't pollute her. Let's go, we will go find hydrangeas. If it's too late, it will be gone." As she said that, she took the lead.
Yang Lianxin envied Chu Xinyu for having these friends. She usually plays and plays, but she is very loyal when she has something to do. Just now, Princess Jing'an in the main courtyard deliberately made things difficult for Chu Xinyu, but Yang Qianjun was not afraid of the princess' identity and stepped forward to speak for Chu Xinyu. This true love is rare.
She also wanted to make one or two such friends. She looked at the lake center pavilion ahead, and there were three or five groups of ladies enjoying the flowers, so she said, "Fifth cousin, I'll go over there and take a look."
Chu Xinyu glanced at the direction she pointed, then nodded. Although she didn't like her, she still reminded her: "Be careful yourself. If you find the hydrangea, go back to Baiweiju."
"Okay." Yang Lianxin took the maid away.
"Why did your cousin suddenly stop following you?" Yang Qianjun asked, "Yes, was that jade fracture fan really made by her?"
"No, that was given to her by my girl..."
"Don't listen to Zhubo, there is no such thing." Zhubo, who was beside him, was interrupted by Chu Xinyu when he was about to say Yang Lianxin's shamelessness. She pulled Zhubo aside and said, "Let's go find hydrangeas over there. Since we are here, let's have fun."
After hearing what she said, Yang Qianjun and An Qilan stopped making trouble, but they also guessed the matter of the Jade Fold Fan. Since Chu Xinyu didn't want to say it, he stopped asking. After all, they were not boring people who specialized in digging for other people's privacy.
Chu Xinyu remembered the piece of paper that the maid stuffed her when she came in just now. While they were enjoying the flowers, she quietly took it out and saw a line of words written on it, with iron-painted silver hooks in the font: Don’t take anyone to drink at the banquet, don’t get close to the water source.
Who gave her a reminder? Does anyone want to be unfavorable to her at a banquet? How did this person know?
After reading it, she pinched the ball of paper and secretly moved her internal force. A spoon of powder quietly scattered on the ground between her fingers.
"Girl, what kind of flower is this? It's very beautiful and looks very festive." Zhu Bo asked, pointing to a pot of brilliantly blooming flowers by the side of the road.
Chu Xinyu looked at it and saw that its flowers were huge, stacked and towering, shaped like a crown, and said, "That is Wei Zi, the flower queen."
"Which pot is there?" Zhu Bo pointed to a flower next to Wei Zi and asked, "The pot of flowers is innocent."
"Kunshan nightlight."
"That pink pot?"
"The imperial concubine fucks the green."
"That pot of ink purple?"
"Qinglong Womo Pond."
"Which pot?"
"Zhao Fan, this pot is Yulou Diancui, this is Erqiao, this is Green Jade, this is Yao Huang..." Chu Xinyu simply named the nearby flowers one by one, without using bamboo and silk, she pointed to the flowers on the left and continued: "Well, this pot is camellia, this pot is mandarin duck phoenix crown, this crane top red, this is Eighteen Bachelor of Pink, this is Moon Dan, that is Jiao Caly White Pearl..."
Yang Qianjun and Sun Ruoya were all surprised to open their mouths into O-shaped shapes. They knew Zhaoyang since childhood. The flowers in this garden were all taken care of by Zhaoyang, and they often came to play. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, they naturally knew many flower varieties. However, they could not point out all the names of the flowers here like Chu Xinyu.
Yang Qianjun sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about flowers. No wonder you and Zhaoyang hit it off at first sight. It turns out that you have similar tastes." She also planted many precious flowers at home. She has to pass through the garden almost every day, but she can call out no more than fifteen kinds. Unless she likes flowers very much, she won't remember so many.
Chu Xinyu shook his head and said, "I have not studied flowers, I just read them in the book."
"What book, so powerful?" Sun Ruoya also wanted to take a look.
"A ancient book records all the varieties of flowers, and I can tell you what I remember."
"Can you lend me a look?"
"Sorry, I accidentally lost it." Chu Xinyu didn't dare to say that this book had not been published yet. It was seen by her in the 21st century. These flowers were also seen by her before and she had painted them, so she was very impressed.
"Oh, what a pity."
Seeing that she was disappointed, Chu Xinyu thought for a while and said, "I remember some. If you want, I will write it down for you."
Sun Ruoya said happily: "Wow, it's really great."
Yang Qianjun replied to her, "What are you going to do? It's not Zhaoyang. She loves to plant flowers, so give her the same thing."
Just as they were talking about it, Zhu Bo suddenly screamed, "Hey, what is this?"
"Let me see." An Qilan walked up and bent down beside her. Seeing a small silver hydrangea wrapped in the stamens, she hurriedly took it out, spread it in her palm, and said happily: "I found one, look at it."
Because of excitement, the voice increased a little, which made the nearby ladies also hear it. They were searching but couldn't find it. Now when they heard An Qilan's voice, they all walked over here.
Yang Qianjun then quipped and said, "Congratulations, I found a good man among the flowers." Although I don't know what hydrangea is used for, it is not difficult to guess that finding it will add points.
"What did you say? This is for you." As she said that, An Qilan was about to stuff the silver hydrangea to Yang Qianjun, but Yang Qianjun didn't want it, and she clenched her fists and dodged.
As a result, the silver hydrangea fell to the ground, and a girl who had just passed by in red clothes picked it up and put it in her sleeve. When she saw An Qilan looking at her, the evil man first glared at her, "What are you looking at? You don't want it." After that, she turned around and left with her maid.
"Hey, you woman is too shameless."
Seeing this, Yang Qianjun lifted her skirt and chased her back, but was pulled back by An Qilan, "Forget it, it's true that we are wrong. If we argue with her, we can't win. Instead, we will be bitten back and say that we don't respect this event."
Sun Ruoya also advised: "Yes, let's continue to search, don't make trouble again."
"Who is this? You're so arrogant. Don't let me see her later, otherwise she will definitely look good." Although Yang Qianjun was persuaded, she was still very angry.
An Qilan's maid Ling'er said, "She is the sixth girl from Anxing Bo's Mansion. When I saw her, I came with the girl from the Duke of Ying's Mansion."
Yang Qianjun snorted softly and said, "No wonder she is so arrogant. It turns out that she is from there." His father almost ate the concealment of the Qi family, so he has no good impression of the Qi family and doesn't even want to mention the name.
"There is one here too." Zhu Bo's eyes were sharp-eyed, and soon found another one, and this one was red. She quickly took it out and gave it to Chu Xinyu. She was afraid that if she gave it to Miss An, she would push and stuff it around like before, and give it to other girls.
"Zhubo, you have a good eye!" Yang Qianjun praised Zhubo, turned to the maid beside her and said, "You can learn from her too, hurry up and help me find this girl."
When the maid brought by Sun Ruoya and An Qilan heard this, she hurriedly looked for hydrangea in the flower stamens like bamboo.
