Flying snow and winter plums welcome the spring, and it is early in the year again.

Just after the first lunar month, Lao Qu took his family to the south.On February [-]th, the winter jasmine had already bloomed, and one afternoon, the carriage arrived at Linhai.When Xiaoqu passed by Nanshui, she forced Qiao Fei to come over to let him relax.Knowing Xiaoqu's intentions, Xiaozhan wanted to match up, so she let Qiao Fei go on leave.

When he arrived at the Shuai Mansion, Zhang Qing was counting the peacocks in the peacock nest next to the duck farm.Seeing friends and family coming from afar, they excitedly put down what they were doing and ran back to the commander's mansion, ordering people to clean up the room, dry the bedding, make tea and pour water.

First arrange for the guests to wash up the dust along the way, and then make preparations for the welcome dinner.At the meeting, Zhang Qing announced that he would hold the Flower Sparrow Spring Festival, which required everyone's full support.

then……

On February [-]th, Zhang Qing asked Qin Shucheng to issue an order to the prefect of Linhai, announcing to the whole city: Marshal Qinhou of Linhai, in order to have fun with the people, will hold a spring festival in the [-]-acre peach garden by the sea starting from the third day of March The garden party will last for one month, and the Peacock Garden will be opened, and spring appreciators in the city are welcome to come here.And set up a temporary store to distribute to merchants for free, and only need to pay a small amount of cleaning fees.

When the news spread, the whole city became a sensation.There are countless merchants who have signed up.Qin Shucheng ordered people to make townhouses with green bamboo next to the peach garden, and distributed them to various businesses for use.Of course, Zhang Qing occupied the best position.

What is Zhang Qing doing?

Alas, he is the busiest.Busy instructing people to take out the salted duck eggs, cured duck, cured fish, and cured pork cooked in winter and put them in large baskets; busy picking and preparing wine to make peach blossom wine; busy making jewelry with Xiuming; busy looking in the Taoyuan Newly made peacock fence; busy making all kinds of bunting signboards.Busy making various masks.

In short, when I was so busy that I went to bed at night to have sex, I was already sleeping like a pig.Qin Shucheng had no choice but to give up.But after five consecutive days like this, he became angry.Try to wake Zhang Qing up and ask him to fulfill his duties as a husband, otherwise he won't send someone to help him tomorrow.Zhang Qing barely opened a slit of his eyes and said, do whatever you want, as long as you don't wake me up.

Qin Shucheng was so overwhelmed that he couldn't help it, so he loosened his clothes and relied on his own efforts.Zhang Qing didn't feel it at all, and he didn't resist being put into various poses casually, unless he pressed his chest and couldn't breathe, so he hummed twice.Qin Shucheng thought it was amusing, and this made him free, so he let go of his tricks.Zhang Qing's intermittent greasy voice overflowed in his sleep, and when he was poked to the itchy place, Yuzhu couldn't help but half-raised and twisted.What a beautiful picture.Qin Shucheng is satisfied.That's not bad, at least this shy person won't dodge and refuse as usual, it's a slap in the face.

The weather here is warm and the flowers bloom earlier.In fact, the peach blossoms have been blooming sporadically since late February, and on the third day of March, the trees are full of youthful blossoms, dazzling and dazzling.

The temporary wall is a fence made of bamboo, which surrounds the side where visitors enter the gate, leaving a wide gate in the middle for visitors to enter and exit.The fence is full of colorful paper flags, ribbons, and red hydrangeas.It's really a trick embroidered belt, and the leaves are blowing in the breeze.

The merchant came early the night before, put the goods in the shop, and left someone to watch.The huts made of green bamboo poles are very delicate, with the green color of bamboo and even unfinished bamboo leaves, exuding a refreshing fragrance.The air is even more filled with the sweet fragrance of peach blossoms, and the entire [-]-acre peach orchard is shrouded in dazzling peach red. Looking from a distance, the sky is full of pink clouds, and the towers are shining on the walls.

There is a huge open space at the entrance of Taoyuan, where various carriages, sedan chairs and sliding poles are parked.There were soldiers keeping order.No matter rich or poor, the interest in viewing flowers and gardens is the same. Besides, if you have little money, you don’t spend it. You can bring your own food for a picnic, which is also quite interesting.It's just that the flower branches are not allowed to be broken in the garden, and only the flower branches cut in advance are sold at the gate of the garden. It is very cheap for ten yuan each.There are also some vendors who set up stalls and perform monkey shows, and there are many gongs.There are piles of people around, applauding and booing from time to time.

Girls and daughters-in-law, young masters and masters, children in the village, scholars in the city, at a glance, all kinds of people, etc., are very lively.

There are temporary shops on both sides, with awnings in front and stalls selling snacks below.Zhang Qing occupied the two largest shops, one selling food and the other selling accessories.In addition to jewelry made of shells and sparrow feathers, there are masks.It is cut into various wonderful shapes with 袼褙, similar to the masquerade belts that Zhang Qing saw in his previous life, only the eyes are exposed, dyed, and then pasted with peacock feathers, tied behind the head with a thin rope, beautiful and novel , The ladies and village girls are all crazy.

Zhang Qing didn't guard it, and only sent a few soldiers to sell it here.But he changed into new clothes and played in the garden with the Qu family and the Qiu family. The two children were also running wildly with their own soldiers.Xiaozhan guarded his daughter-in-law, but did not come.Because Chunxi was one year old, Zhang Qing asked someone to bring some fun toys for the child, and also gave the child a golden longevity lock as a birthday present.

As we walked, everyone dispersed to enjoy the flowers and play.

Zhang Qing saw that Qin Shucheng was chatting with Big Brother Qu, Xiu Ming and Xiao Qu were discussing something head-to-head, Qiao Fei was watching the scenery, and no one was playing with him, so he took a soldier and left to relax.

Holding a half-bloomed peach blossom in my hand, I walked in the sea of ​​flowers.A little south is the newly fenced Peacock Garden. Hundreds of adult peacocks, both male and female, are enclosed in a large fence. There are more than a dozen glowing peach trees in the middle of the field.

Most of the onlookers were girls and young women in beautiful dresses. Seeing this, the peacocks spread out all kinds of beautiful flower screens, shaking and chirping, and some ran along the fence, chasing after other beautiful little girls. The girls were excited and excited. She screamed and laughed in fear, full of joy.So many blue, green and white peacocks are together, and those screen feathers are like a big fan embroidered with layers of beautiful eyes, blooming the most beautiful scenery in the world.With the pink peach blossoms all over the garden, it is simply breathtaking.

Zhang Qing stood aside by himself, wearing a light pink robe with dark silver patterns.Yuli spring breeze, smiling and silent.

Suddenly someone nearby asked: "Brother Taiwan is also for viewing flowers? It's very boring to play with the next person, can you have a company?"

When Zhang Qing turned around, he saw a handsome young man who was asking himself with a smile.Zhang Qing also felt that being alone was boring, so he nodded in agreement, telling his soldiers not to follow closely.The servant next to the young master followed with a food box,

The man said with a smile: "I haven't come to the sea for a long time, who knows that there is a peach garden here, which is really a good place. Li Zheng, dare to ask your name?"

Zhang Qing also replied with a smile: "Mian's surname is Zhang, Zhang Qing."

Li Zheng pointed to the depths of the peach blossoms and said, "Brother Zhang, the peach blossoms are flourishing there, go and have a look there."

Zhang Qing nodded, and the two walked forward, chatting while walking.Li Zheng smiled and said: "It's very awkward for brothers to come and go. I'm 26 years old, can I have a sex with Brother Zhang?" Zhang Qing said: "25 years old." Li Zheng smiled and asked: "One year younger than me, is it possible Compatible with Brother Zhang?" Although Zhang Qing was surprised, he still nodded.

Li Zheng said: "I will live here as a brother. Brother, I have a piece of cloth here, can I spread it under the flower tree and sit?" Zhang Qing nodded.

Li Zheng ordered his servants to unfold the big cloth and spread it under the tree, and took out some side dishes and drinks from the big food box he was carrying, and said with a smile: "It's very boring to go out in the spring alone, who wants me to meet my virtuous brother?" Come on, let's make a toast to today's meeting."

Zhang Qing raised his glass and was about to drink.Suddenly, a person ran over not far in front, it was Qiao Fei.Zhang Qing was worried about what was going on with him, and was about to get up to have a look, when a tall young man ran past him, Xiao Qu.Xiaoqu shouted while running: "Xiaofei, wait for me. Oh, what I said is true!"

Zhang Qing couldn't help laughing.Thinking of what Xiuming told him about this kid's thoughts the day before yesterday, he secretly smiled and said, there is still a long way to go for your marriage!

Just about to sit down and drink the glass of wine, a soldier came running out of breath, and shouted: "Master, you are here after searching for a long time, everything is sold out, you go and see what else you can add, my subordinates can go move."

Zhang Qing got up quickly, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Li, I have something urgent to do, so I can talk about it another day."

Li Zheng didn't care, and said with a smile: "Your brother, hurry up, this is Brother Yu's famous post, wait for you to have time before drinking. By the way, where does the mansion live?"

Zhang Qing walked back and replied: "I live in Shuai's mansion, see you some other day!" He hurried away.Li Zheng rubbed his chin with his hand, not knowing what to meditate on.

Zhang Qing rushed to the shop outside Taoyuan and saw that it was more lively with people coming and going.Under the bamboo shed, there are various stalls selling snacks, and many people are sitting at small tables waiting to eat.Zhang Qing found that many young girls were wearing masks made by himself, so he couldn't help smiling.

Seeing that the duck meat and wild boar meat were all sold out, I ordered someone to bring some more, as well as some small bamboo baskets.Zhang Qing's family's meat and egg food are all served in small square baskets made of green bamboo, with handles, and clean snack paper underneath.It looks very cute.For this food box, many people bought one.

Some of the soldiers had changed into plain clothes, so they couldn't be seen among the crowd. Many of them were patrolling guards with hidden swords.The soldiers that Zhang Qing used to sell goods were even dressed up as buddies, yelling.Seeing that they brought a lot of things, Zhang Qing watched the sale for a while, then went to drink tea under the shed, looking around at the distant scenery.

Suddenly, I saw a luxurious carriage approaching on the main road, several people jumped out of the carriage, the first one was a big man in brocade clothes, he looked very wealthy.Walked in and smiled at Zhang Qing: "Master, I finally caught up." It was Huo Feipeng.

It turned out that Huo Feipeng knew that Zhang Qing and the Qu family were very good, and the Qu family was also in business, so he took the opportunity to get close to Lao Qu and often asked for information.This time he heard that Zhang Qing invited the Qu family to go south for the Spring Festival, so he came without invitation, but went out a few days late.

After Huo Feipeng greeted Zhang Qing, a person came up behind him and knelt down.Zhang Qing hastened to support him, but he saw that it was Hongli!With tears in his eyes, Hongli insisted on worshiping.Zhang Qing saw that there were many people here, and it was really not a good place to go and talk like this, so he had to invite them to sit in the mansion.

Entering the living room in the back garden, Hong Li asked Zhang Qing to sit down, but knelt down and kowtowed three times.Zhang Qing pulled him up and said, "What is this for? Get up quickly. I'm relieved that you're doing well." Hongli couldn't speak, only choked up.Zhang Qing poured him a cup of tea.Hongli drank a few sips before he could speak: "Young master, I am sorry for you, but I am still willing to serve you, like an ox or a horse!" Zhang Qing quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "You are not doing well now? Don't be old. Thinking about being a slave. Learn more and support yourself." Hong Li burst into tears again and nodded.

After finally seeing off Hongli and Huo Feipeng, Zhang Qing was a little tired.Seeing Hongli's reformation, I feel that it is not bad, but the feeling of being betrayed is still uncomfortable, so I must not keep Hongli by my side.This is called once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years!After thinking for a while, I went to Taoyuan to look at the shop.

In the evening, the tourists gradually dispersed, Zhang Qing ordered to pack up and go back.The soldiers on duty were also sent to clean the venue, and they had to get up early tomorrow.

After dinner, Xiu Ming helped count the money, and there were 100 taels.Xiu Ming couldn't help laughing and said, "I used to see you were quite gentle and elegant, why are you a bunch of money?"

Zhang Qing said with a smile: "What's the matter with money strings? Anyone who lives has to earn money. Ordinary people have to support their families. Part of this money will be reserved for the army to increase food and pay, and the rest will be used to run a school. All the children who start school come to school. Then build a nursing home for the orphans who have no one to support them.”

Xiu Ming nodded in admiration.Zhang Qingdao: "I still have duck farms, pig farms, fish farms and Taoyuan. All the profits will be concentrated in these things in the future."

Xiu Ming laughed at him: "You still want to be a Bodhisattva?"

Zhang Qing also smiled, and said with fascination: "I don't want to be a Bodhisattva, I just want to do my best to make people around me happier."

One month later, at the end of the spring outing, Zhang Qing earned 5000 taels of silver, and 3000 taels from selling the peacocks alone. Those precious big birds that Myanmar paid tribute to brought Zhang Qing unexpected wealth.Zhang Qing kept the working capital, and all the rest was kept in accounts and used as a fund to distribute benefits, education and pensions to the soldiers.

On the fifth day of April, although the flower fair is over, the peach blossoms are still in bloom, but it is almost over.Zhang Qing pulled Fangzhu and stood on the high slope facing the sea, where he could see the flocks of white ducks on the tidal flat.

The sky is full of sunset clouds again, against which the eyes are full of peach blossoms, which makes people feel in a trance.

At night, the spring breeze is blowing outside the window, and the spring emotion is stirring inside.Qin Shucheng swayed violently and said, "You ignored me these days! You want to make it up to me! Also, what happened to that Li Zheng? Always coming to post posts! I'm going to kill him!"

Zhang Qing just smiled at him, thinking he was cute and clumsy.Will this person be with me forever?

Suddenly, a male peacock's call came from the far bird fence.Spring is the season of bursting love.
