Chapter 11 How old is Qing

The two got very close, smelling her scent, Hua Xun only remembered that it was the scent of crabapple flowers.She was in a trance for a while, always feeling that she had seen Huadu somewhere, and she whispered in her ear, "Does the county lord have someone he likes?"

Hua Xun's face changed slightly, and his face turned red.Quan Dang didn't hear this sentence, so he quickened his pace and caught up with Chu Yan and Hua'an.

Huadu who fell behind smiled slightly, his eyes full of tenderness.

The four of them passed by Huaxun's yard, Hua'an had a whim and wanted to go and have a look first.

Others dare not be guests at the master's house, and propose to go to the boudoir of the daughter's house.But Hua An is Hua Xun's cousin, Chu Yan can be regarded as a close friend for many years, and there is only one Hua Du.Huadu is a woman, so it's okay to go with several people.Hua Xun couldn't refuse, so he had to take the three of them to his yard.

After arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Hua Du raised his head and saw four large characters on the plaque - Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water.She was taken aback for a moment, and the golden light could still be seen shining in the vagueness of those four words.

"Ah——" Hua An suddenly seemed to bump into something, took a step back, looked at the four words with horror on his face, and took two steps back in fear.

"What's wrong?" Hua Xun and Chu Yan, who were leading the way, turned their heads.

Hua An turned pale, looked at the plaque, then at the expressionless Hua Du, and swallowed.

"I'd better go back and rest, I think I'm a little dizzy now... yes! I'm not feeling well! I want to go back and rest!" Hua An yelled.

Hua Xun had no choice but to call Pei Lan to take Hua An to rest.

Chu Yan also felt that it was not good to stay at this time, so he also left.

"Then Zhong Ci should go to rest first. Xie Yu..." Hua Xun hesitated.

"I still have something to say with the princess, can the princess let me chat for a while?" Hua Du said to Chu Yan.

"Welcome."

Hua Xun saw several people leaving together, feeling suspicious in her heart, looked up at the plaque, and said to herself: "It's strange, don't you want to come in and take a look, why don't you even enter the door?"

Chu Yan invited Huadu to the room, and there was no way of knowing what the two of them said, but after Huadu came out, Chu Yan had a gloomy face, closed the door to thank the guests, and claimed to be unwell.

Junhou did not appear at the Reception Banquet, saying that several juniors of the same age were communicating together, and he didn't need to participate as an old man.Hua Xun has also come of age this year, and it is polite to entertain several female guests, not to mention that several of them are not much different in age from Hua Xun.Just follow the rules.

At the banquet, Hua Xun raised his glass to Chu Yan with tea instead of wine and said, "It's such a joy to have friends coming from afar. You should celebrate with wine, but it's inconvenient to drink alcohol when you're away from the boat. I'll respect you with scented tea instead of wine."

Chu Yan then raised his glass and said with a smile: "I know the name of Huafu scented tea, and I can smell its fragrance from ten miles away. I am here as a guest, and as a guest, do as you please. I am lucky to have a famous tea, thank you."

Hua'an grabbed a handful of melon seeds, squinted at Huadu who was drinking tea with her head down, knocking on the melon seeds in her mouth in a daze.

"I don't know when Zhongci and Jieyu are going to return to the palace?" Putting down the cup, Hua asked Wenwen, "If you are willing to stay in the mansion for a longer time, then I can do my best as a landlord."

"The date of return has not yet been determined. Xie Yu said that he will stay in Huajun for a while and has important things to do. I should accompany you." Chu Yan sat upright.

"Oh?" Hua Xun aroused curiosity.Huadu has something important to do, why should he do it?Chu Zhongci wants to be with him, and it seems that Huadu is very important... Although curious, Huaxun knows that there are some things that cannot be asked, and even if you want to ask, you should inquire in private. Stay for a while. It’s so good. I haven’t seen Zhongci for a long time. I have a lot to say. And I haven’t taken Xieyu out of the city for an outing before. Although the Flower City is small, it is famous for its mountains and rivers. It is beautiful; the busy city in the city is not as prosperous as the capital city of the royal palace, but it is just a spring day, and it is barely worth seeing. If you have free time, how about inviting you to go for an outing to enjoy the spring?"

"Okay." Huadu said, "I heard that the princess has been to Huacheng in previous years?"

"Exactly."

"Come in a hurry, leave in a hurry, don't you let down the beauty of the Flower City?" Hua Du glanced at Hua Xun, and said slowly, "The flowers are blooming well this year, and the county lord will accompany you, so the princess can follow along."

"This flower city is nothing but flowers. What's so good about it." Hua An spat out the melon seeds and said disdainfully, "Thousands of flowers are in the flower mansion. If you want to see the flowers, why go outside the city? It's fine if you can't see them at home! thing!"

Hua Xun shook her head and said: "No matter how good the flowers in Huafu are, they are cultivated by gardeners. They cannot be compared with the natural flowers and plants in the mountains. If we really want to compare, we will lose a bit of arrogance."

"If you want to talk about proud flowers, there aren't any in the house." Hua'an knocked another melon seed, and said with a bitter tone, "Isn't that crabapple?"

Hua Xun had only heard half of what she was going to say.I don't know why these two surnamed Hua are eyeing her Begonia Hua.

"If cousin likes begonias, you can choose any begonia flowers in the back garden." Hua Xun smiled, "Even if you all want to leave, it's okay."

"Cut," Hua An lazily leaned back and spat, "Who is like you, who is infatuated with love!"

"Why do you care so much about Ah Xun's liking for begonias?" Chu Yan wondered, "Sages of literati have their own hobbies, Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums, Zhou Dunyi loves lotuses, and Emperor Wu loves peach blossoms. Everyone has their own preferences. How about Ah Xun's preference for begonias? Just ridicule and ridicule again and again?"

"She's just jealous." Picking up the tea bowl, Hua Du took a sip, "What's so surprising?"

"Who's jealous!" Hanagi stood up and glared.

Hua Xun leaned forward slightly, with a smile still on her face: "Hey, please sit down." She raised her hand and pressed down, "I made my cousin laugh. That Haitang has been with me since birth, and has been with me for more than ten years." I really care about feelings."

Huadu slowly put down the hand holding the tea, her gaze fell on the gently rippling water.

"It's not a good thing. If my cousin really wants to see it, you can go to the small courtyard and appreciate it together."

Chu Yan looked at Hua'an quietly, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

She remembered that when Hua'an was about to enter Huaxun's yard, she looked terrified.

"... Let's go again when we have a chance some other day." Hua An was speechless, so he could only prevaricate.

Hua Xun picked up the tea, covered her face and took a sip, her smile dissipated.

Putting it down again, she smiled again and asked for wine and food.

At midnight, Chu Yan and Hua Xun sat in the water pavilion.

The moonlight is cold, the pavilion stands in the center of the pool, and the water reflects the shadow of the moon, sparkling.There is the sound of gurgling water, gauze curtains on the eight sides of the pavilion to keep out the wind, koi swimming in the pool, sand and stones can be seen clearly, the surroundings are silent, and peach blossoms are flying in the distance.Candles were brightly lit in the pavilion, stone benches were covered with cushions, a small stove was placed on a stone table, and a wine pot was placed on top of which was steaming white, and there was a chess game in which black and white chess pieces were clearly opposed to each other.

Hua Xun held the sunspots and landed them on the chessboard arranged vertically and horizontally, while looking at the small furnace next to it.

"...Why did Zhong Ci come this time?"

Chu Yan put Bai Zi down, without raising his head, he said, "Why do you think I came here?"

"Didn't you say that you came to pick up Hua Jieyu?"

"I'm here to pick up Hua Jieyu."

Following Heizi to block the way: "It's just that I just came here to pick up flowers and explain the words. Although I haven't been with you for a long time, the Huafu and Ningwang's mansion are in the same spirit, and you and I have been exchanging letters for more than nine years. I have heard about you, and I still believe three points when others say that you came here simply at the order of your father..."

"You don't believe me?"

"I don't believe it." Hua Xun played with the chess piece in his hand, raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile.

"I saw you ten years ago. At that time, you were still young, six years old, with outstanding intelligence." Chu Yan's Baizi had already rescued him, "I was surprised that this rich and luxurious family of the Hou's mansion in the sea of ​​flowers and grassland, unexpectedly came out of a family like you!" Waiting for wise people..."

"So do you think I will be the head of the Hua family in the future?" She gathered her five fingers together and made a fist.Hua Xun looked at her with a half-smile, and said word by word, "But don't forget, Ah Zhi is 12 years old this year, and I am [-] years old this year."

There was silence.

The cold wind blows, and the gauze curtains fly.

There are peach blossoms falling on the shore, being blown up by the wind, and falling on the eaves of the pavilion.

"Grumbling."

Chu Yan reached out to pick up the flagon, poured a full glass of wine, and handed it to Hua Xun: "I am twenty years old this year."

Hua Xun's gaze shifted from her face to the steaming peach blossom wine, and she lost her mind for a moment.

"Before I came to Huacheng, His Majesty announced me into the palace and asked me a word." Chu Yan picked up the wine glass, lowered his head and blew the hot air gently.

Hua Xun came back to her senses, and used alcohol to hide the expression on her face: "What did Your Majesty ask?"

Chu Yan paused, and said calmly: "Your Majesty asked me, 'How old is Qing?'"

How old is Qing?

According to Da Chen's regulations, women should marry at the latest at their [-]th birthday.

The wind blowing outside was a little gentler, but the cold air was penetrating to the bone.Today is only mid-January, no matter how gentle the wind is, it is still like a bone-scraping blade, and the air-conditioning rushes into the back, Hua Xun loosens her fists, and pulls the fox fur with her empty hands, she slowly exhales a mouthful of white mist , The fog then dissipated in the cold wind.

"I don't know which aristocratic son Ma Duwei is, but he is half as smart as me?"

Chu Yan smiled sullenly, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.The wine entered her throat, warmed her for a while, and then burned up in her stomach, warming her face.

"Not as good as you."

"That's half as beautiful as Hua Jieyu?"

"Is there any reason to compare a man with a woman? No comparison!"

"What if it really compares?"

"Not as good as her."

Hua Xun also drank a full cup, snorted and said, "Do you have one ten thousandth of your strategy?"

"Hmm...hehehehe..." Chu Yan shook his head and poured another glass of wine, "It's not as good as me."

"Then Zhongci wants to marry?"

Chu Yan stopped, and looked at Hua Xun for a long time.

She suddenly laughed indulgently, looked into Hua Xun's eyes, raised her glass with one hand, and slowly swept the pieces on the chessboard to the ground with the other: "Ah Xun was joking, I'm already twenty, so why not marry me?" The chess pieces fell to the ground with a thud, like the sound of broken jade, jumping to nowhere one by one.

Hua Xun heard her laughter and the crackling of the chess pieces, smiled slightly, and raised his glass to meet Chu Yan: "Hua Xun is sixteen years old, and is about to reach the age of Ji. He has become an adult, and he is responsible for all matters in the house. Worried. Azhi is twelve years old, still young, and a gentleman, so he shouldn’t be involved in flower and plant farming, like a daughter’s family.” She drank the wine and lit the bottom of the glass, “Besides, Zhong Ci is my friend, Ning Wang’s mansion and flowers House, there is still fate."

"It's getting late, Ah Xun should go to bed early." Chu Yan put down his cup and stood up.

Hua Xun also stood up, and said to her: "It's cold tonight, does Zhong Ci need servants to warm his bed?"
