Chapter 213 Xie Fujun is very affectionate
Qichun Garden is located in the northwest corner outside Dengying City, about five miles away from the city. It consists of one lake, two mountains and three gardens. One lake is Qingyi Lake, the two mountains are Wanshou Mountain and Qianfu Mountain. The three gardens are Changyou Garden, Xianya Garden and Tingyu Garden. The scenery in the garden is pleasant. In June, July and August, Yefan will bring the Lord of Zhaoping and a few concubines here to live here for a while.
Yefan is not a city lord of enjoyment. He doesn’t come to Qichun Garden to hold banquets many times. Except for the Shangsi Festival, the Liushang Banquet is here, and the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday will be here to hold moon-watching banquets. The huge Qichun Garden is idle most of the time.
The Liushang Banquet will be held by the water. In previous years, the mountains are high and the rivers are long. This year, Song Ruoxi wants to choose another place so that it can avoid comparing with the Liushang Banquet held by the Zhaoping County Lord.
"My cousin's wife, uncle attaches great importance to Liushang Banquet. Although there are no officials recruiting this year, the leaders and elders of the tribe will come to attend the banquet. If you change the place without authorization, what if the banquet is messed up?" Ping'er said worriedly.
Dengyingcheng does not have the autumn examination and spring examination every three years. The selection of officials is a bit similar to the modern civil service examination. Song Ruoxi once suspected that Dengyingcheng's first city lord was a time travel predecessor.
"Thank you for the reminder of Miss Ping, I will prepare well and I will definitely not let any problems with the banquet." Song Ruoxi looked at her and smiled indifferently.
Ping'er met Song Ruoxi's deep eyes, her heart trembled, lowered her eyelids, avoiding her gaze.
"Mrs. The car is ready." Madam Zhou walked over and said with her owl.
In addition to the high mountains and long rivers in the Sanyuan, there are also the fragrance of water, water and wood, water and wood, stones and rivers, Diaoyu Bay and Suxi Pavilion. The five attractions are far apart. You have to walk to see these five places in half an afternoon, but you can obviously not do it, so you can only use a car to carry it.
Madam Zhou accompanied Song Ruoxi into the first car. Ouyang quickly pulled Cannibal to board the second car, which made Ping'er so angry that she rolled her eyes again, and climbed onto the third car with hatred.
The group walked around and saw Diaoyu Bay from Yingshui Hexiang.
There are thousands of apricot trees planted around Diaoyu Bay. In early March, it is the flowering period of apricot blossoms. The branches are red and full of fragrant trees. The lake water in the bay is clear and the small fish swims around the tender green lotus. A stone tablet is erected by the bay, with a poem engraved on it: "Fishing in the green bay in spring, the spring is deep, the apricot flowers are chaotic. The pond is clear and the water is shallow, and the lotus moves to know the fish are scattered. I wait for my lover at dusk, and I stay on the boat to the green willow shore." (Note)
Song Ruoxi was very satisfied with the environment here and asked, "Wuhan, Madam Zhou, what do you think of here?"
"My cousin, don't you think the waterway here is too long and the water flow is too slow?" Ping'er said with disgust.
"The waterway master, you don't have to squeeze in a pile, you can sit in a bunch. The water flow is slow, as long as you block it above and then let it go, the water flow will not be slow. There are apricot trees on the side of the waterway, so you don't have to worry about sunbathing. The long pavilion over there is very spacious, and it is convenient to place some food and use it." Song Ruoxi decided to copy the arrangement he had when he attended the Liushang Banquet last time in Fujian.
"The young lady said it very well, it's very good here." Madam Zhou stood firmly on the side of Song Ruoxi.
Ouyang and others had no objection.
Ping'er tightened the silk handkerchief in his hand, and there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but changed his mouth and said, "I heard from my cousin's wife that, Ping'er also thinks it is good here. When the wind blows, the petals fall one after another. People are in the painting, so beautiful."
Song Ruoxi smiled and asked several officials in Qichunyuan to arrange the arrangements according to her requirements. Ping'er sang the opposite from time to time. When Song Ruoxi patiently explained why she arranged the arrangements like this, she would agree with it. She changed her attitudes freely, which made everyone amazed.
"I will wipe the menu for the banquet tonight and send it to someone tomorrow morning. I will come back to see the arrangements tomorrow afternoon. I will work hard here for a few people." Song Ruoxi smiled.
"Young lady, you are kind to me, this is my duty." Several managers bowed.
It was already three o'clock when he returned to Dengying City from Qichun Garden. The dusk was vast and the lights were on. Ye Shuhua had been waiting at the gate of the garden for a long time. As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of the garden, he came up and reached out and opened the door, "Yingying."
Song Ruoxi smiled, handed him his hand, and helped him get off the carriage, and asked as he walked, "How long have you been waiting?"
"I waited for half an hour." Ye Shuhua said honestly.
"Just wait in the room. Why do you go to the gate of the garden to wait?" Song Ruoxi asked angrily.
"This way you can see you earlier." Ye Shuhua's face turned slightly red. He was used to seeing Song Ruoxi when he returned to his room. If she was not in the room, he would feel restless and unable to sit and lie down.
Song Ruoxi was very interested in his obsession. His heart felt like he was filled with honey water, sweet. He looked up at him and smiled charmingly.
Ouyang and others followed behind not far and near, watching the two holding hands and smiling.
After returning to the yard, after dinner, he sent the maid to have dinner. The two of them walked sweetly in the yard. After walking for a while, Song Ruoxi refused to leave. His eyes turned, his smile was as bright as spring flowers. He pulled Ye Shuhua's sleeve and said softly: "I'm so tired! I can't walk anymore! Senior brother, why don't you carry me back, okay?"
Ye Shuhua was stunned for a moment, laughed, turned around, turned her back to her, half-squatted down, "Come up."
Song Ruoxi jumped onto his back lightly, hugged his neck tightly with both hands, and lay on his back, "Senior Brother, can you keep carrying me on your back?"
"Okay." Ye Shuhua paused and added, "I am willing to recite it for a lifetime."
Song Ruoxi smiled, leaned forward, and wrote a kiss on his right cheek.
"I need a little more here." Ye Shuhua turned his head and said.
As he wished, Song Ruoxi also wrote a kiss on his left cheek.
Ye Shuhua ran happily with her back, and Song Ruoxi chuckled on his back.
The two of them played for a while and returned to the room. Song Ruoxi sat on the desk and wiped the menu of the Liushang Banquet. Ye Shuhua held a cup of tea and sat on the couch, staring at her intently. The soft candlelight reflected on her face, emitting a faint halo, as beautiful as the elf in the night.
"Young City Lord, the hot water is ready." Xiangduo walked in and reported in a low voice.
Ye Shuhua nodded and got up to go to the bathing pool to take a bath.
Song Ruoxi wiped the menu and turned around and saw Ye Shuhua, asking, "Where has the young city lord been?"
"The young city lord went to the bathing pool to take a shower." Xiang Xiu said.
Song Ruoxi put the menu back on the table and looked up at the clock, "It's already so late."
"Young lady is hungry? Do you want to send the midnight snack?" Xiang Xiu asked.
"What is the midnight snack today?" Song Ruoxi asked.
"It's the three crispy soup and lychee nectar cake." Xiang Xiu said.
"When the young city lord comes back, use it together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Shuhua came in and said with a smile: "Go and send the midnight snack in."
Song Ruoxi saw him wearing a light purple plain satin robe, with his belt loosely tied around his waist, revealing a large piece of skin on his chest, and his hair dripping with water was tied with a round-headed white jade hairpin, which seemed to be scattered but not scattered. A few strands of long hair were messy and casually spread on his shoulders, not as elegant and refined as usual, adding a bit of romantic and freehand painting, just like someone in his memory, who suddenly became stunned.
"Yingying, what's wrong?" Ye Shuhua asked hurriedly when she saw her eyes blurred.
"No, nothing." Song Ruoxi came to his senses, stood up and greeted him, reached out to tie his clothes, and then took the clean towel handed over by Xiangxiu. He tiptoed to remove the jade hairpin he had tied his hair, and helped him wipe his hair. "You have dried your hair and came out before you come out. The night wind is cool, so you have a headache."
"There is no wind." Ye Shuhua bent down to facilitate her movements. He smelled the faint fragrance on her body, his heart was shaking, and his hands were wrapped around her slender waist.
Song Ruoxi threw the wet towel aside, took his hand and said, "Come here, help me see this menu."
Ye Shuhua followed her to the table, picked up the menu and looked at it carefully, and nodded with a smile: "Yingying has thought it through very carefully, there is no problem with this menu."
"I'll give my mother a look tomorrow and I'll send it to Qichun Garden for them to prepare." Song Ruoxi pressed the menu under Zhenshi, "You have a midnight snack, I'll go take a shower."
"Don't you eat with me?"
"I'm not hungry." Song Ruoxi felt a little guilty. Although he was just a moment of silence, he was still embarrassed to face him and hurried to the bathhouse.
Ye Shuhua didn't notice his wife's strangeness. She drank a bowl of three crispy soup, ate two lychee and nectar cakes, and sat under the lamp while reading a book while waiting for her to come back. After reading about ten pages of the book, Song Ruoxi came back from bathing.
"Yingying!" Ye Shuhua threw the book aside, stepped forward, picked her up in the waist, and waited for too long, and he couldn't wait.
Song Ruoxi's eyes flashed, he reached out to put his hand around his neck and buried his head on his shoulder.
He put her on the bed, pressed her gently on her, and lowered his head to kiss her cherry lips.
Song Ruoxi responded warmly to his kiss, tender and honey.
The long night is long enough for the couple to slowly linger.
In the early morning, the slight sound outside the yard woke up the mandarin ducks sleeping with their necks.
"Yingying, early." Ye Shuhua greeted him gently.
"Before morning." Song Ruoxi half-squinted his eyes, as if he was awake but not awake.
"I was tired of you last night, so you can sleep for a while." Ye Shuhua pecked her forehead lightly.
"Okay..." Song Ruoxi suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes, "No, I'm going to pay my respects to my mother later."
Ye Shuhua also remembered that the confinement order of Zhaoping County Lord was lifted and he wanted to pay homage according to the rules. He smiled and said, "When you come back from your greeting, you can sleep for a while."
Song Ruoxi yawned, reached out and twisted his waist lightly, and said, "Last night, you don't bother me, so I'll have enough sleep. There is no need to sleep during the day."
"I can't stop." Ye Shuhua defended her voice like a mosquito and ant.
"What did you say?" Song Ruoxi didn't hear it clearly.
Ye Shuhua smiled and shook her head.
Song Ruoxi glanced at him and lifted the quilt up.
The two of them washed and changed their clothes, and after breakfast, they went to Danningju.
All the concubines moved out, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Shao were confined, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Xiao Bin were imprisoned in the alley, and Mrs. Li was dead. There were less than ten people coming to pay their respects, which was much deserted than before.
After asking for peace, Song Ruoxi took out the menu for the Zhaoping County Lord to take a look, "Please ask your mother to help your daughter-in-law check it."
