Nine Heavens

"Julan Ruxiang, Junlan Ruxiang..." Liu Juan silently recited the name, and there seemed to be a ripple in her boundless mind, but it was too short to feel it in an instant.

Looking at Tan Jing's thoughtful expression in front of him, the real father-in-law's heart thumped. Could it be that the soul was scattered... The next words made the real father-in-law let go of his hanging heart.

"Whose is such a beautiful and noble flower? If I can buy it, I really can't bear her." Tan Jing looked forward to looking at her father-in-law.

The real father-in-law raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yo! Damn my family, I forgot to tell you. This flower is yours in the first place. You are a fairy family who raises flowers. After you cultivate them like this, any flower will come out. It is elegant and refined, not a fairy is better than a fairy."

Pausing for a while, the father-in-law raised his head and looked at Tan Jing with a satisfied face and continued: "Speaking of Junlan Ruxiang, your heart is really costing, Madam, and you will take care of it every day, and it will last forever. Today's demeanor. The purpose is to participate in today's Qingshi Villa's flower competition."

"The Unexpected Flower Competition?" Tan Jing asked in confusion: "What is the Unexpected Flower Competition?"

"Oh, ma'am, don't you remember, this flower contest is not an ordinary event. It is held every year, and the time is set on the first three days of April in the Gregorian calendar, that is, the three days of April 1, 2, and 3." During these three days, the first two days were nothing but offering sacrifices to rivers and gods.

But the third day was very lively. At that time, every household puts the carefully cultivated and beautiful flowers on the flower stage, selects the people with great prestige in the village and the people with high positions in the village to appreciate them together, and selects the top ten to reward and encourage.

You have forgotten that people in Qingshi Villa regard raising and presenting flowers as life. Therefore, it is of great significance to them to receive awards or even just a few praises at the Flower Competition Festival.

Especially for those who won the top three, the courtesy they received is really a prince of competition! The winner of the first place in Hua'er is named the Flower Fairy, the second is honored as the God of Flowers, and the third is honored as the King of Flowers. Moreover, it must be reported to the imperial court, and the emperor will bestow a golden seal. From then on, Guangzong and his ancestors will be famous all over the world. "

"Oh!" Tan Jing let out a sigh of relief with sparkling eyes.

Hearing Tan Jing's exclamation, the real father-in-law was delighted in his heart, and said again: "During this whole day, Qingshi Villa is crowded with people, people from Qingshi Villa, people from Longyun Villa, people from Wolongwan and Tianyan Gang. The people outside Yunshanzhuang are really more lively than the festivals. And today is the third day of this year's Jinghua Festival..."

Tan Jing's eyes are rolling, and there is a smile between her eyebrows. She is looking at the distant sky. There are thousands of rivers and mountains, mountains and mountains, white clouds are rolling, and the east sun is rising. The breeze is refreshing, and the birds are chirping. , There are bees and butterflies dancing in my ears from time to time, and I sigh silently in my heart that I am so lucky to be born here.

Looking back, Li said: "You said, today is the third day of Jinghua, and I am also going to participate in Jinghua?"

"Exactly."

"But you said that I am from Longyun Villa, can people outside Qingshi Villa participate?" Tan Jing asked confused.

"This..." the real father-in-law hesitated a little and said: "I have to say a few words, the owner of the Zunzhuang Villa has been friends with a family surnamed Liu in Qingshi Villa for generations, because this Liu family has only male heirs and no daughters, so I recognized you as a righteous daughter." , your unique skills in growing flowers were all taught by the family surnamed Liu.

But it is a pity that the flowers that the family of Liu family participated in the competition flowers suddenly withered on the flower stage for no reason because it was on the Flower Festival the year before last. Its wife also passed away due to excessive grief. And his only son, that is, your righteous brother, has heard rumors that his father's flowers withered because of the hands and feet of the nobles in the village.

You said, can he not be angry! well! Late one night, the boy sneaked into the noble mansion to take revenge, but was beaten to death with a random stick. "

Speaking of this, the real father-in-law wiped away a few tears, and then said in a choked voice: "You were only ten years old at that time, counting with your fingers, it has been six years since this happened. The owner of the Qingshi Villa and the owner of the Qingshi Mountain Villa for this matter After several rounds of negotiations, they finally compromised, agreeing that you will participate in the annual flower competition every year as the heir of the Liu family, and you can live in the Liu family's old house. I believe that you will understand the deep meaning of respecting the master."

Tan Jing's eyes were moist, and her jade teeth were clenched. A cloud of anger rose invisibly from the bottom of my heart. Unexpectedly, there is such a thing behind the beauty of Qingshi Villa. One day, I will definitely utter this bad breath for my adoptive parents and righteous brother. At the same time, I admire my father very much.

After calming down for a while, Tan Jing calmly said: "Then, should we go to find the flowers? I believe this pot of Junlan Rue will bring back the dignity of the adoptive father's family!"

"Yes." Father-in-law Noran nodded.

Tan Jing looked at the real father-in-law and motioned for him to lead the way. The real father-in-law nodded slightly and said, "Young lady, wait a moment." At the same time, she reached into her bosom with her right hand and took out a three-inch diameter round box, slightly purple, like rosewood. Then press the side and it opens with a snap. He held it in front of Tan Jing respectfully and said: "The lord has explained that the empress has mistakenly heard the memory-recalling herb. She must have been very weak when she first woke up. She needs to take Wannian Binglian Bushen Pills regularly to recover slowly."

As he spoke, the real father-in-law bowed his head and raised the medicine box above his head with both hands. Tan Jing inspected the box with a purple halo in the sunlight. The inside of the box was lined with golden yellow satin, and on the silk satin lay a snow-white bead, the size of an acorn. After taking a few glances at the person in front of her, she stretched out her hand to take it, Tan Jing hesitated a bit, but she still put it in her mouth, her throat felt refreshed immediately, and her internal organs were also relieved.

Feeling that after Tan Jing had taken the Wannian Binglian Bushen Pill, the father-in-law straightened up a little and said, "My lady, please." Then he led the way first.

Under the sun, the two figures walked towards Qingshi Shangzhuang at a leisurely pace, getting farther and farther away, and finally condensed into a point in sight, and then disappeared.

But under the sun, the golden brocade quilt and velvet quilt are still spread there, but the intoxicating fragrance of Junlan rue is missing. The snow-white velvet quilt, stirred by the morning wind, rises and falls from time to time, just like a swan spreading its wings.

In the distance, a young man in ragged clothes staggered towards him with a haggard face. As I was walking, I suddenly found a piece of gold in front of me, and above the gold was like a white cloud floating. Enduring hunger and fatigue, the boy walked a few steps.

Impressively, there are two overlapping layers of brocade and velvet quilts. This quilt is so beautiful and luxurious, how can it be owned by ordinary people. The boy looked around vigilantly, but after a long time, he didn't find a single figure. Finally, he had the courage to touch the goose down of the brocade quilt. What kind of comfort it was, the young man couldn't describe it in words.

Suddenly a gust of wind passed by, bringing a crisp bird song, the young man suddenly dodged and shot behind a tree next to a field. After realizing that it was just a false alarm, he cautiously reappeared beside the brocade quilt, and then hurriedly folded his arms. He picked up the brocade quilt, pressed it into the package next to him, held it in his arms, got up and walked deep into Zhuangnan.

It's just that it's still so weak, so staggering.
