Nine Heavens

In Jade Mausoleum, on the stage of Jinghua, the two elders, Liu Yeqing and Yuwu, faced the contestants of Jinghua and the crowd of spectators with smiles on their faces, and they would return the greetings from time to time. Beside him, Tan Tianying, the owner of Longyun Mountain Villa, also cupped his hands in congratulations. In addition, there are five or six elders socializing on the Jinghua stage.

To say that the most beautiful time of Qingshi Villa is not Chinese New Year, but the Flower Festival. The most important thing is to catch up with the solar terms well, the weather in spring and April, the earth is still sunny, and the sky is warm and noisy. All kinds of flowers and plants are blooming, and people are happy to walk around and play.

No, I heard that there are flowers starting today, whether it's from Wolong Bay, Longyun Villa, or Tianyan Gang. Whether rich or not. Male, female, old. Those who are less come to have fun. The most important thing is to gain insight and see what precious flowers will be staged this year.

Eating and drinking is inevitable for happy things. Some vendors have set up the beach here at two or three o'clock in the morning, and they have already yelled hard at this time. Some talents, those who can play and sing, those who sit at the desk to do calligraphy and painting, those who hold a ruler to tell books, or those who can dance with guns and sticks, all find a suitable place to show off. Those who are willing to reward some money will accept it, and those who do not want to reward will also greet them with a smile. In short, just be happy.

Speaking of this Flower Festival, at the beginning there was nothing like that, it was a more serious matter, but after thousands of years of evolution, it can be regarded as adapting to the trend. After deliberation, the elders of Qingshi Villa agreed to some people's suggestions. On the third day after the Flower Festival is finished offering sacrifices to the river and worshiping the mausoleum, you can have a lively day in the Emerald Mausoleum. After all, the process was not very long, and it was completed in one morning, and there was no program in the afternoon, which always made people feel unfinished. But the joy is the joy. During the process of hosting the flower presentation, everyone must stop making noise, consciously maintain order, and continue to carnival for fun until the results are judged.

The sun was already three poles, and the auspicious time had come. Liu Yeqing looked at the crowd and waved her hand to signal the guard of honor in front of the stage. After a melodious trumpet sounded, the hundred trumpets sounded in unison.

Amidst the melodious and deep melody, the noisy voice just now came to an abrupt end. The smiles rippling on people's faces gradually became dull and solemn with the sound of the trumpets. The ancient Emerald Mausoleum has returned to its former solemnity. The towering figure is reflected in Crescent Lake, majestic and magnificent.

After three long blasts of the hundred trumpets, Tan Tianying walked slowly to the Jinghua Terrace, inspected the crowd, and chanted loudly: "The 3000th Qingshi Villa Jinghua Festival Flower Presentation Festival begins now." The voice dragged on for a long time. There was thunderous applause in the crowd, which lasted for a long time. After the applause died down a bit, Tan Tianying lowered his hands to signal to calm down, and then said: "This year, Elder Liu Yeqing is participating in the judging of the Jinghua Festival." After speaking, he gestured to Elder Liu Yeqing with the palm of his right hand upward. Hearing the introduction, Elder Liu Yeqing walked steadily from behind Jinghua Stage to the front of the stage, bowed to the crowd, and then sat down on the first chair on the stage, staring at the audience with piercing eyes, followed by Elder Yuwu, and others Several people, finally Tan Tianying introduced himself.

In about a quarter of an hour, all the judges were seated. Tan Tianying shouted: "Join Huaer!" He also walked to the seat behind the Jinghua stage and sat side by side with other judges.

At the same time Tan Tianying was seated, a group of girls in clean white dresses neatly walked out from the left side of the long bluestone Jinghua Terrace, and stood on the steps under the Jinghua Terrace. Almost at the same time, the sound of gongs and drums came from a distance, and the crowd had already automatically opened a passage to Jinghuatai.

Soon the first pot of flowers arrived amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and a girl in light yellow silk brocade came over with a smile on her face, surrounded by four other girls, who were in the same attire as the girls under Jinghua's stage. I saw the girl in yellow holding a black flower pot with both hands. The flowers in the pot, whether it was leaves or flowers, were all blue, like the color of the sky, tile-blue tile-blue tiles. The five girls stepped up to the stage and stopped, and the sound of gongs and drums also fell silent.

The girl in yellow handed flowers to one of the girls in front of her, and the girl stepped forward and handed them to the first girl on the left under Jinghua's stage, and said crisply: "A pot of blue smoke in the ink sea."

After receiving the flowers and walking to the highest step, the girl turned around and carefully lifted the flowers over her head, and also shouted loudly: "A pot of blue smoke in the ink sea". Then turned to face the judges, the elders held flowers in both hands, bowed deeply, and placed the flowers on the Jinghua platform.

After placing the flowers, I saluted the judges and elders again, turned around, saluted the crowd first, and then saluted the person who presented the flowers before returning to the original position. And the five people presenting flowers walked to the right side of Jinghua Terrace amidst people's tsk-tsk-tsk.

Beep... Another burst of trombone beeping. This means that the first flower presenter has finished offering, and the second person can come out. Sure enough, as soon as the sound of the trombone stopped, another wave of beating of gongs and drums came from a distance. This process lasted for two full hours. As time passed, more and more flowers were placed on the flower stage, and people's eyes became brighter and brighter, chatting excitedly in low voices. On stage, the judges were equally elated.

Finally, the last pot of flowers was put on the Jinghuatai. Tan Tianying announced loudly that the flower presentation was over, and the results of the selection were announced on the spot an hour later. The audience present can watch at will in front of the Jinghua stage, but don’t make any noise. If you are willing to participate in the evaluation, you can write down your opinions and hand them over to the etiquette staff to convey to us for reference.

At this time, you just look at the flowers on the stage, hey! It's really amazing, and the fragrance is floating in the air. What heavenly peonies, rainbow roses, stunning red plums... I can't tell you all.

Just as people were about to leave their seats to enjoy the flowers, a shocking voice came from outside the crowd: "Wait a minute!"

In the blink of an eye, a beautiful figure walked from the crowd, with a graceful figure, a fairy-like appearance, and a pair of beautiful eyes like waves and springs. Her body was even more like wearing a green cloud, which was embedded with shining gems, like a fairy, which attracted exclamations from the crowd.

Holding a flower pot like a clear spring with both hands, there are a few emerald green leaves in the pot, and three wonderful flowers on the emerald green, like butterflies and cranes, are dancing on the green leaves. The bubbling strange fragrance spreads in all directions, forgetting the mundane world when smelling it, and wafting the fragrance of limbs when smelling it. With the fragrance of flowers overflowing, there is faintly lingering sounds of nature.

Flowers are intoxicating, and people are even more intoxicated. They are beautiful and beautiful.

For a while, the audience in the audience and the judges on the stage were immersed in the poetic and picturesque artistic conception and couldn't extricate themselves. Cheers to the weirdness and wonder to everyone.

Behind the beautiful figure is a slender figure wrapped in silver brocade, with a man's figure and a woman's face. He caressed a ball of dancing flames in his hand. She glanced at Tan Jing with a smile, and Tan Jing nodded slightly.

The real father-in-law understood what Tan Jing meant, walked up to the stage in a few steps, and said sharply: "Hey! I said Elder Liu, Elder Yu, why did you forget that there is still a pot of flowers on the flower list for the Jinghua Festival Is it called Junlan Ruxiang? Could it be that it was disqualified from the competition at some point. Even if it was cancelled, we should be notified anyway. Could it be that it is not okay to deliberately leave us alone?"

Taking a glance at Tan Tianying, their eyes meet and they know each other. The father-in-law said again: "What do you say, Mr. Tan Zhuang?"

"This?" Tan Tianying looked at the two elders, Liu Yu, with embarrassment on his face. And there was a commotion in the crowd all of a sudden, they all complained about the celestial beauty in front of them.

Liu Yeqing, Yu Wu, seeing the father-in-law in the audience suddenly had an ominous omen in his heart, what was even more surprising was how the girl of the Liu family would be with him? His face was pale and dripping with cold sweat. This is the end of the matter, no matter what the result is, we must follow the advice of big brother Nangong, and bring this flower competition to a successful conclusion.

After calming down, a smile appeared on Liu Yeqing's face again, looking at the real father-in-law in the audience, he replied in a cool voice: "That's true, it's my servant, I still hope Haihan. I will give you an order immediately, and I will definitely respect you with a big gift." The flowers of the venerable are respectfully invited to the flower platform, can the venerable agree?"

"Okay, refreshing, since that's the case, I don't have any opinions. I hope that the judges will treat everyone equally, without partiality or selfishness. Flowers are the only way to judge." So there was another round of drumming.
