Chapter 216: Shangsi Festival Overnight in the Garden

Ye Fan learned the truth about Ping'er's sprained foot from the Yingwei. A cold and cold light flashed in his eyes. A famous lady should respect herself and love herself. This girl dared to do such a humble thing as to throw herself into her arms. She could not keep it anymore. She had to marry her as soon as possible to save her reputation.

Ping'er accidentally sprained her foot, which was just a trivial matter for everyone. After a few greetings, he asked the attendant to send her back to the city. Doctor Zhao Liang saw her injured. Her departure did not affect the afternoon Liushang Banquet.

When we arrived at Weishi, everyone went to the waterway.

The waterway is wide and long, unlike where the mountains are high and the water is long, only small round piers and a small table can be placed. There are short couches and short tables, and each person has one couch and two couches. On the table are snacks, tea and fresh seasonal fruits.

There are five square tables in the long pavilion, dishes on four tables, dishes and spoons on one table, and two barbecue racks under the shade of the tree beside the pavilion. The mountains and rivers are slightly narrow. The barbecue is usually roasted first and then brought up. It has not been roasted recently. The strong fragrance makes people unable to help swallowing even if they are not hungry in their stomachs.

"City lord, it's better to let everyone eat barbecue first and then Liushang." Zhaoping County Lord suggested understandingly.

Ye Fan laughed loudly and said, "Okay."

The barbecue was served, and everyone was so greasy that they picked up the tea cup and savored the tea.

"Please choose characters for couplets and sentences." The general manager of Qichun Garden held the rhyme box in front of Ye Fan and said respectfully.

Ye Fan stroked his beard and smiled and said, "Yuxian, you will limit the rhyme."

"My daughter-in-law obeys the order." Song Ruoxi smiled and stood up, "Today is the third day of the third month. If you get nine in three, you can use Jiujia or Jiuqing as the rhyme. The number of words is not limited, just put it on the couplet. If someone can't get the couplet, you may be fined three glasses of wine, make a poem, or play a song. What does my father think this is the case?"

This is the common rule used in Liushang Banquet. Ye Fan did not object. He smiled and looked at the Lord of Zhaoping and said, "Let me ask my wife to start."

The Zhaoping County Lord did not refuse, pondered for a moment, and smiled and said, "A red apricot tree appeared in the corner of the wall, and two green locust trees were welcomed by the way."

"Get up and have fun and drink." Ye Fan said.

The maids on the upstream of the waterway obey orders, poured wine in the cup, placed it in the canal with an apricot-shaped wine holder, and the water flowed over with it. The music stopped, the cup stopped, and the drinking couplet was taken.

This saying: "The mountains and rivers in the dream are more and more powerful, and the wind and moon around the pillow are harmonious."

That couplet, "A hundred years of poetry and rituals extend the joy of life, and thousands of miles of wind and clouds come into my heart."

This couplet game is easy for men.

Putting it to the sixth one, the cup stopped in front of Song Ruoxi, took the cup to drink, and said, "Listen to the sound of the wind by the bamboo path, and watch the moon by the flower stream, and sieve the shadows of the moon by the flower stream."

Putting it to the ninth one, the cup stopped in front of Wei Lingjuan, took the cup to drink, and said with a smile: "I can't do anything with the couplet, I will punish you three glasses of wine."

There is no need to drink a small wine cup when punishing wine. It uses three sets of cups. The smallest one is the same size as a rice bowl, one is larger than the other. After filling two cups in a row, Wei Lingjuan burped, leaned against the couch, half-squinted her eyes and said, "I'm drunk. I really can't drink this big cup."

Yue, who was sitting in Wei Lingjuan's lower head, got up and walked over, picked up the wine glass and poured it into her mouth, and smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is good at drinking, she is not drunk for a thousand cups. She only drank so few cups today, and she said she was going to get drunk. It can be seen that she is a liar, but we won't believe it."

Everyone laughed and said they didn't believe it. They asked her to drink the wine and not be fooled.

"I'm really drunk. I drank dozens of big glasses at lunchtime. I can't drink it now. Good brother and sister, please spare me this time." Wei Lingjuan begged for mercy.

"If you can't get in contact, you have to accept the punishment. If you push and stop it, even if you violate the rules, you will be fined three more cups." Yue refused to let her go.

Wei Lingjuan avoided the wine glass on Yue's hand and said, "Then I will be drunk and unable to walk."

The Zhaoping County Lord smiled and said, "It's okay to be drunk. We stayed in the garden for a night. Gang Yuxian said that watching the moon in Huaxi, thousands of shadows will be siege. Although there is no moon to watch tonight, it is also a pleasure to enjoy the stars."

Watching the moon in Huaxi is one of the dozens of scenes in Qichun Garden.

"What my mother said is that we will go to Huaxi tonight to appreciate the stars." Ye Shuting clapped her hands.

The evening activity was settled, and Wei Lingjuan also finished drinking the wine in the Haidou wine bowl, her face turned red, her eyes were blurred, and she was drunk.

After putting it a few more times, the cup stopped in front of Song Ruoxi again. There were not many words written by Jiujia Jiuqing. Everyone said a lot and wanted to follow the above sentence. It was a bit difficult for her, a person who became a monk halfway through. After thinking about it, she couldn't think of it. She shook her head and smiled, "I can't connect, I accept the punishment, so I'll play a song with a flute."

The sound of the flute rang slowly, and the sounds were like moving clouds and flowing water. This song "Liu Shang Song" was very suitable for the scene, and others also supported it very much and praised it unrestrainedly. What kind of song is only available in heaven, how many times can you hear it on earth?

Song Ruoxi blushed and said a few humility.

After a long time and an hour and a half, everyone was able to scatter. The leaders and leaders of the left and right returned to the city, and Yefan and his family stayed in Qichun Garden and went to Huaxi to enjoy the stars at night.

Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi live in Baijieyuan near Qingyi Lake. They are paved with bluestones and white walls and green tiles. Lilac trees are planted in the courtyard. The branches and leaves are rich and shady. After several days of sunshine, the temperature rises. The flowering period of lilac flowers is early. The purple-purple and white flowers among the green leaves exudes an attractive fragrance, densely adorning the top of the branches.

In Qichun Garden, there are indeed scenery every step, and the scenery is different.

Although the courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time, it is cleaned every day, and it is very clean and tidy. When you walk into the room, the arrangement is very elegant. There are a half-person high silver gilt bamboo-shaped handles placed in the corner of the house. The cover of the stove looks like a Boshan, with openwork holes, and it is emitting a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. It is mixed with the fragrance of flowers coming in outside the window, forming a strange fragrance that is refreshing.

When she walked into the inner room, Song Ruoxi saw a rosewood recliner covered with a lilac velvet brocade blanket at a glance. She walked over and sat down. The soft and comfortable feeling made her raise her lips and smile with satisfaction. She didn't take a nap in the afternoon, and the relaxation was coming soon, and tiredness swept over, and she closed her eyes.

Seeing that she curled up into the lounge chair like a lazy cat, Ye Shuhua smiled gently, waved her hand and asked the maids to withdraw, personally brought a thin blanket to cover her, sat cross-legged on the bed on the side, folded her hands on the chest, put her palms up, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her expression was as if the Buddha was sitting on a lotus platform.

Song Ruoxi woke up in a sleep. It was the beginning of the Youth hour. The recliner was not as comfortable as the bed. After sleeping for a while, he felt a little sore in his waist and back. He sat up and couldn't pull it around. He exhaled softly, "Ouch."

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Ye Shuhua woke up from the meditation.

Song Ruoxi twisted his body, "It's okay, I feel comfortable taking a bath."

Ye Shuhua got off the bed and opened the door: "Go and prepare hot water, the young lady wants to take a shower."

"You smell of alcohol, wash it too." Song Ruoxi saw a little light of fire in his eyes, and knew that the man was thinking wrongly, so he spat on him angrily, "Everyone washes their own."

Ye Shuhua laughed twice.

After taking a shower, Song Ruoxi did not rush to dress up. After dinner, he changed into a pink, silver-patterned, wide-sleeved, double-breasted top with flowers and a light blue, long skirt with white magnolia embroidered, and tied the dragon in the bun. In this way, he would not have to comb his hair again when he came back later. The bun was decorated with a few pink and blue flower ornaments, and a beaded butterfly hairpin was worn, which was light and simple.

"I'm wearing this pink brocade robe?" Ye Shuhua pointed to the brocade robe embroidered with a bunch of flowers.

Song Ruoxi raised his eyes and looked at him from the mirror, "Are you my husband?"

"Of course I am your husband."

"Then you just put it on." Song Ruoxi asked directly without giving a reason.

Although Ye Shuhua didn't understand what the relationship between wearing this clothes and whether he was her husband, she was obedient and put on the pink brocade robe.

Her handsome appearance and pink brocade robe add a bit of romantic look, looking a bit like a playboy in a TV series. Song Ruoxi's lips raised slightly, and her agile eyes were filled with smiles.

Xiang Xiu and others hurriedly lowered their heads and tried to endure their smiles, but their shoulders kept shaking, indicating how hard they endured it.

When the two of them came out of the courtyard, it was already the beginning of You and Wei and Xu. The dusk was dark, and lanterns were hung everywhere in the garden and they sat in a car to Huaxi.

Song Ruoxi whispered: "This is called a couple outfit."

Ye Shuhua's eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "We are husband and wife, we are good to wear couple outfits." After a pause, he looked at her carefully, "Can Yingying change the color next time?"

"No." Song Ruoxi curled his lips and turned his head to the other side, "I just like pink."

"It looks great to wear pink, so we wear pink." Ye Shuhua had no principles for such trivial matters, as long as she was happy.

Song Ruoxi looked back, burst into laughter, and said, "I'm teasing you, we'll wear royal blue next time."

"Yingying, you are so nice." Ye Shuhua reached out and linked her with her fingers. The candlelight hanging from the lantern on the chariot pillar reflected in his eyes, shining like the stars in the dark night, gentle and full of emotion, as deep as the sea, as if he was about to drown someone in his eyes.

Song Ruoxi looked at him for a moment, his eyebrows were curved, and he smiled brightly, leaned his head against his shoulder.

When we arrived at the moon-watching pavilion by the stream, everyone had arrived, and they were the latest ones.

"Baijieyuan is closest to Huaxi, but you are the latest in Brother Hua and Sister-in-law Yu Xian. If you hadn't prepared wine here, you would have to be fined three cups." Ye Shuting said with a giggle.

Ye Shuhua and Song Ruoxi hurriedly accused Yefan and Zhaoping County Lord.

Ye Fan snorted with a stern face, and seemed very angry.

The Zhaoping County Lord glanced at Ye Fan, reached out to help Song Ruoxi, and smiled and said, "Yuxian must be tired after running back and forth in the past two days. It's okay, don't be afraid, don't blame you, sit down."

Ye Fan's face slowed down and he started to laugh.

The two of them sat down and looked up at the sky.

There is no bright moon in the vast night sky, and the stars are particularly bright, as if you can touch it with your hand. There are aquatic plants such as grass and reeds in the stream. The night wind blows slowly, bringing the fragrance of plants and trees and a hint of coolness.
