On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, whether it is Shangfang, Zhongfang, or Xiafang, Jiangcheng, the capital of Zhao State, is full of flowers of various colors.Among them, chrysanthemums are the most numerous, not to mention the chrysanthemum flower stands placed at the entrances of various high-ranking houses in Shangfang, and the famous products displayed by people in Zhongfang. Get rid of illness and disaster.Among these chrysanthemums, yellow chrysanthemums are the most numerous. Looking around, it can be said that "the whole city is full of golden armor".

As a rule, all officials on the Double Ninth Festival must enter the palace to have an audience.

The sky was still hazy, and the three masters of the Zhongjun Mansion had already got up.

Zhao Yuan hadn't gotten up so early for a long time, and couldn't get out of bed with a small snoring.Zhao Chen had finished washing and returned to the room, and saw Li Xia kneeling on the side of the bed, yelling helplessly, while the little guy on the bed was sleeping soundly with his limbs spread out and his mouth open, as if he didn't hear it at all. Someone called him.

Seeing Zhao Chen come back, Li Xia hurriedly stepped aside, lowered his head and said guiltily: "Mr. Lang, slaves are useless, I really can't call Da Lang."

Zhao Chen waved his hand and sat down beside the bed.He stretched out his big hand and gently scratched Zhao Yuan's exposed belly. Zhao Yuan closed his eyes and groaned in pain. He pawed his belly, but he still didn't wake up.

A certain father chuckled twice, scratched again, Zhao Xiaoyuan struggled and refused to open his eyes, covered his belly with two small hands, obviously not to scratch.

"Zhao Yuan," a certain father said in a low voice, "I'm going to be angry because of my father."

With just a few snaps of his fingers, Lidong, who was guarding outside, saw Zhao Chen coming out with Zhao Yuan in his arms, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Zhao Xiaoyuan hugged his father's neck tightly with his arms, and was taken to the ear room with a very aggrieved expression.

Liqiu and Lichun came back with a food box and a large bunch of dogwood.

Li Xia and Li Dong trotted over immediately, excitedly said: "Where did you pick this? The fruit is as red as fire!"

Li Qiu smiled slightly, and took the food box to the corridor, Li Chun sneezed again, and said to them: "Grandma Li, who guards the garden, saw it at the east corner of the courtyard. It's really gratifying, so I picked some of them and gave them to me, and I gave her a few baht as a tip."

Li Xia immediately untied the sachet from his arm and poured out all the cornel fruits inside.She smiled and said: "The ones that were issued by the mansion before are not as good as these red ones. Sister, give me a small sachet with fruits, okay?"

Lidong also nodded hurriedly: "I also want more red."

"I can't do it now!" Li Chun couldn't help hugging Zhuyu and said angrily, "These guys have to make dogwood pouches for Mr. Lang and Dalang! If you want them, you have to wait a while. I'll keep some alone. The four of us Everyone has it!"

Lixia and Lidong nodded after hearing this, and hurriedly urged her: "Then hurry up, we can embroider the sachets of Langjun and Dalang a long time ago, and now we just need to stuff some dogwood..."

Zhao Yuan woke up after washing, and dragged Zhao Chen's sleeve back to the room along the corridor to have breakfast.When he saw a few girls gathered together, he didn't bother to ask, and his mood was still a little sleepy.

Liqiu has already put all the food on the table. Because it is the Double Ninth Festival, there are flower cakes with walnut kernels, raisins, shredded preserved fruits, and bean paste stuffing inside.In addition, there are cornel juice, shad slices mixed with vinegar, and a large bowl of ginger meat porridge.

Zhao Chen sat down, took a whole piece of flower cake the size of a palm, put it on the plate in front of Zhao Yuan, and said, "Okay, you are allowed to eat flower cake today, and you are not allowed to flatten your mouth."

Zhao Yuan glanced at him, but obediently picked up the flower cake and ate it.The flower cake is steamed with glutinous rice. It is soft and glutinous. When you bite into it, it not only tastes crispy like nuts, but also has the sweetness of raisins and candied fruit. The hot bean paste is in your throat. It's so delicious that you can't speak Come!He tried his best to grow his mouth big and small, and settled a piece of cake in twos and threes, and wanted to get the second piece, but asked a certain father to stop him.

"Didn't you say you can only eat one piece?" Zhao Chen frowned, and gave him a fish fillet with chopsticks, "Eat this, and drink your porridge too!"

Zhao Yuan suddenly wilted, smashing his mouth, it seemed that there was still a sweet taste of glutinous rice cake.

The father and son snored to finish their breakfast, and Lichun came over with two sachets, and put them on their arms together with Liqiu.The sachet is sewn with various kinds of silk, embroidered with dogwood with green leaves and red fruits, and stuffed with dogwood fruit, you can smell the spicy smell when you get close.In addition to dogwood, Zhao Yuan also embroidered a cute little white rabbit, which shows the private interests of the servants.

Zhao Chen changed into a black court dress with a dark purple ribbon, and a high crown of white jade and gold on his head. Fan Shi and Zhao Yuan were also ready, and several of them got into two luxury cars, followed by entourage and a row of ten people The light armor trilogy.

Sitting in Zhao Chen's car, Zhao Yuan opened the curtain curiously, and saw a young man in black light armor, guarded on horseback beside the frame, with cold and sharp features, expressionless.

"You are Jiaxun?"

The young man squinted at him from top to bottom, and said, "This subordinate is right."

drink!So cold!

Zhao Yuan is a coward, so he immediately gave up, he laughed and said: "Young talent! Young talent!"

Seeing his flattery to others, a certain father felt very unhappy, and immediately brought him back.

He scolded: "Sit down, carefully get out of the car!"

Zhao Yuan is still a coward, with his little hands pretending to be tugging at the collar of his shirt, and complaining to a certain father: "Father messes with my clothes! Father is unruly! Bad!"

Zhao Chen was really annoyed: "What else can you say besides saying Father is bad? You can't do it anymore!"

A certain Yuan Dian Dian climbed up on his lap and sat down, put it close to his ear and asked in a low voice, "How old is that Jiaxun? Are you married?"

Zhao Chen's ears were itching to death, and he pushed someone's chubby face away with his big hands.

"What are you asking about this?"

"Father, keep your voice down!" Zhao Yuan was so angry that he grabbed his hand, "Don't let others hear it!"

Do you think Jiaxun can't hear you?Zhao Chen was speechless.

He said leisurely: "Father bought him from the market when he was seven or eight years old. He was about the same age as you are now at that time."

Zhao Yuan looked at him in surprise: "Then you are only eighteen? Oh, no, already eighteen?" He hurriedly asked again, "Then, can Jia Xun get married now?" He almost forgot, at this moment the man Eighteen may be the father of several children, and it is normal for fifteen to get married.Doesn't Jiaxun already have a wife?

"So that the Lord Xiaolang will know that this subordinate has not yet married."

Jia Xun's rigid voice came in from outside suddenly, causing Zhao Yuan to lean back in fright. If Zhao Chen hadn't reacted in time, he would have almost fallen.

Zhao Chen was annoyed: "Jia Xun!"

Jia Xun didn't say anything, but the sound of the horse's hooves got a little further away.Zhao Yuan's heart and soul were uncertain, and he regained his soul after being pressed against a certain father's neck.

On the contrary, Zhao Chen stood up suspiciously, and asked him, "What are you asking Jiaxun for?"

Zhao Xiaoyuan muttered for a while, but didn't dare to speak.Actually, he just wanted to find a partner for Aunt Liqiu...

The troops of the Zhongjun Mansion separated in front of Shangfang Yumen Street, Zhao Yuan got off the car and went to Fan's place, they had to turn left to go to Fan's house, while Zhao Chen went straight with a small number of parts and entered the Qi Palace.

The Fan family occupies a vast area, and the left side of Yumen Street is almost all the land of the Fan family, and the direct line of the Fan family lives in the Lanqun Mountain House in the middle.

From a distance, you can see the flower stand in front of the gate, which is filled with stories about mandrills. Chrysanthemums of several colors and sizes are placed one after another.The Double Ninth Festival workshops communicate with each other, so some ordinary people come to Shangfang to watch the flower beds at the door of each house, and sometimes they can get flower cakes or dogwood sacs.

The one who came out was Yu's eldest daughter-in-law, Gan Shi, who was younger than Fan Shi, but Fan wanted to call her cousin sister-in-law.

Qianshi is a round-faced woman with delicate skin, who smiles before she speaks.She was wearing a skirt with white butterflies and flowers, because the satin was sapphire blue, so she didn't look frivolous. She wore a big bun and a golden hairpin inlaid with sapphires, which looked luxurious and dignified.

"I'm looking forward to you coming!" She and Fan Shi greeted each other, then they took Fan's hand and said angrily.

"It's been a long time since I haven't seen my sister-in-law," Fan said with a smile, then embraced Zhao Yuan and said to Qian, "This is my little Yuanlang."

Qian glanced at Zhao Yuan and said with a smile, "You're so handsome!"

Zhao Yuan practiced the etiquette honestly: "Yuan has seen my aunt."

Qian's smile immediately became more genuine, touched his shoulder, and took out a small purse from his sleeve: "A gift from your aunt!"

Zhao Yuan took it over and said with a smile, "Thank you, Auntie."

That's all for this exchange, and the Qian family took Fan's family, Zhao Yuan, and the servants behind them, and walked inside in a mighty way.Jiaxun and other trilogy could not enter the back house, so they guarded in the front yard, and their own servants entertained them with food and drink.

Along the way, Qian and Fan are reminiscing about the past.

"...Look at the Shibu Pavilion, remember that before I got married, I came to Fan's house as a guest, and that's where you entertained me..."

Fan looked at the red lacquered pavilion hidden among the green trees and flowers, with a hint of memory in his expression.

"That's right, I hadn't entered the palace at that time, and I didn't expect that you would marry into my family and be my sister-in-law." She said softly.At that time, her father and grandmother were still alive, life, every day was like a fairy, so what troubles did they have?

Ganshi covered his mouth and laughed.

Zhao Yuan followed behind them, unable to close his eyes all the way.Hearing what Yuan Jue said earlier, he didn't take it seriously.The rockery in his house surprised him, and he thought to himself, how could the Fan family's be better?

Unexpectedly, it is really better, not only the mountains visible in the distance, but where is the rockery?It is clearly a stretch of green hills, backed by the entire Fan family!There are also gravel roads seen along the way. Small stones of various colors are arranged into different fairy tales, different flowers, birds, fish and insects. The whole mountain house is full of birds and flowers. Every flower and grass seem to be random, but they are also carefully placed. Every glance is a painting.

No wonder people say that one generation of wealth is not considered rich, and only the third generation of wealth can become famous.

They did not know how many months the group passed through the cave gate, walked through several corridors, and even crossed two bridges in the middle of the lake before arriving at the main courtyard where the eldest son and daughter-in-law lived.

There are three entrances in the yard, each entrance is in the shape of a Chinese character, and there is a small garden in the middle.Both Yu and her husband live in the third entrance.
