Shen Xue Ziyang

When I finished dealing with the affairs of the side room, I returned to Zifeng, who was sitting alone on the high platform drinking with the flowers.

A big red lacquer drum is placed on the high platform of Wenxi Pavilion. When literati and inkmen recite poems and compose poems, they like to play the drum most in Ming Dynasty.With the sound of the drum as a command, the upper couplet is hung on the high platform. Whoever can write the second couplet in the shortest time, or write an impromptu article based on the above couplet, the best writer will get flowers thrown from the high platform .

Whoever gets the most flowers in the end is the "oiran" among literati.

If Zi Feng hadn't come, I'm afraid that the drum in Wenxi Pavilion would be booming right now.

"Why are you sitting here alone, deserted, without even a guard around you, what should you do if something happens?"

I couldn't help but say something long-winded, sitting next to him, but his gaze didn't give me a single cent, today he found a pot of hydrangea somewhere, drank half of the wine in the glass and poured half into the hydrangea up.

"I specifically told them not to get close to this high platform, they are too noisy."

"What do you know, it is a great joy in life to meet like-minded people by fate."

In private, in front of Zifeng, I always say something, even if it doesn't sound good to me, I still say "what do you know" after Hao Ci said it, and it became a mantra over time.

"In this world, you are the only one who dares to speak to me like this." Zi Feng poured a glass of wine and handed it to me, "The people below are all afraid of me."

"Who dares not be afraid of you, if I didn't have the life to grow up with you, I would be afraid of you too."

I drank it all in one gulp, a huge sour feeling came up, and my teeth were going to be sour.I clutched my chin, pointed to the wine glass, hesitated for a long time and couldn't speak, from Zi Feng's smiling expression, I could imagine how funny I must be.

"That's what I'm afraid of."

"..."

I decided not to say a word today, not to mention that my teeth are so sour that I can’t speak now, even if the soreness passes, I will not speak again. Too much talk will surely lead to failure.

"This is a kind of green plum wine called 'Yi Chen Shen'. There is no sugar added when it is made, and it is very sour. If you don't see me, I only drink half a glass, and I have to sip it carefully, so that the green sourness is completely gone. Burning in the belly will only live up to the name of this wine."

"Uuuuuuu..."

I pointed to the pot of hydrangea with my chin, intending to say, "Why do you pour wine into the flower pot, and make a good pot of flowers so that you won't be tortured to death like this."

"Didn't Haoci also raise hydrangeas? He planted the seeds in the palace of the Empress of the Lotus Palace. He had to wait and see every day to see if any buds had broken through the ground. He was afraid of being waterlogged in rainy days. He is afraid of being frozen in the snow, afraid of being blown in the strong wind, and afraid of being sunburned in the scorching sun. He is such a person who is always cautious and meticulous. Whether it is people or things, as long as he cherishes , he will do his best to protect it.”

What Zi Feng said is correct, Hao Ci is a gentle person like water, and behind this gentleness is also his firm belief, because of his gentleness, he is strong.

Haoci’s hydrangeas finally bloomed in the third year after being buried in the soil. I still remember that he invited me and Zifeng to watch the flowers, and Emperor Mo also went to join in the fun. I saw the clusters of purple and white The flower group is very similar to the hydrangea thrown by the lady of the rich family.

"It looks like a hydrangea, so it's called hydrangea."

When I blurted out, Zifeng could not wait to roll her eyes at me, Haoci cheerfully followed with a smirk, my words were almost spoiling the scenery, just when I was very annoyed, Emperor Mo stroked the top of my head with his generous palm, giving I am greatly comforted.

"Cang'er's description is also correct. There are other names for this hydrangea. Some call it 'Eight Immortals', and some call it 'Ziyanghua'. The names are different, and the sustenance is different."

"Ziyang, this name sounds better than Hydrangea and Eight Immortals." Hao Ci preferred "Ziyang" and said it silently several times, "Look at it, it looks like a sun covered with purple veil, and it is worthy of the name."

He can always beautify the things he likes into what he wants. He said it was the sun, and Zi Feng took it as the sun.In front of Hao Ci, Zi Feng would rather become a fool.

Today, those Ziyang plants are still swaying in the wind in the empty palace, but the person who cared for them is gone...

The wine in Zi Feng's cup hadn't stopped, he poured a glass, but still had to give half of the cup to the flower in front of him, he temporarily entrusted the Hao Ci in his heart to the potted flower.

He wants to get drunk, wants Hao Ci to get drunk with him; or maybe he can see Hua Siren only when he is drunk...

Recalling sinking...Zi Feng regards himself as an old man who has gone through vicissitudes, but he still has a lifetime to live. He still doesn't know what he will encounter in his later life, and maybe it will be even more exciting.I feel sorry for him, why should I decide to close the road under my feet, this is not what Haoci wants to see.

"Well……"

I suddenly remembered that there was still a young man named Gu Chuan standing under the high platform, waiting for Zi Feng to take a look, so I waved towards the high platform.Zi Feng was puzzled, so I dipped my fingers in the wine and wrote on the table for him to read. That kid Gu Chuan walked quite fast, and before I finished writing, others had already come up.

"So this is your new recruit for me?"

Zi Feng asked knowingly, but I didn't want to talk to him.Gu Chuan knelt on the ground, but he didn't say anything, and I forgot to teach him the rules...

"That's all, it's hard to bother you again and again."

"..."

Did you deliberately trick me before cooperating with you?

"I think he still has strength, so let's go over there and play the drums. I want to hear the drums."

Zi Feng gave the first order, and Gu Chuan silently picked up the drumsticks and tapped the red lacquered drum. Hearing the sound of the drums, they couldn't help but look towards the direction of the high platform.

Zi Feng was standing on the edge of the high platform, all eyes on her.He is originally high above, everyone wants this position, but the high place is extremely cold, how many people know this loneliness?

A handful of purple sun petals fell with the wind from the high platform, and Zi Feng personally sprinkled them down. He must hope that Haoci can see everything here like him, and feel this unparalleled feeling with him.

"Zhi Cang, Haoci is watching me from below, look."

Zi Feng said this to me suddenly, I thought he was drunk, now there are a lot of people gathered under the high stage, it must be tricky.But when I saw Guchuan who was still beating the drum vigorously, I remembered the boy named Yixu.

"Oops……"

I said badly and looked down, but it was too late.

In the hydrangea rain, the four eyes met, and the one who should come could not escape after all.
