People in the Song Dynasty loved flowers, and almost every house would display flowers. During festivals, men and women, regardless of gender, would wear hairpins with flowers on their heads. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
Therefore, flower cultivation is a huge industry. Meishan, for example, specializes in lotus cultivation. Every May and June, flower vendors from nearby towns come here to purchase lotus flowers. When people walk on the street, they also
You will see many lotus ponds along the road, but it is not the flowering season yet, so there are only green lotus leaves.
Every morning, boatloads of flowers arrive at the pier and are distributed by vendors throughout the city. But today people were surprised to find that they couldn't buy a single flower in the market. When asked about the vendors, they were also confused.
He said not a single flower boat had arrived.
At noon, the flower-carrying boat finally arrived belatedly, and there were more than ten boats arriving. People were very surprised, why did the flowers come at this time of year? Who are they being sold to?
As soon as the boat docked, the people on top began to transport the flowers down. On the pier, Mr. Qian and Mr. Tu were both there. To Li Jian who came down from above, there was also a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old in Chinese clothes who said, "Bring them here."
Is there enough manpower? Not enough, we also hired a hundred day laborers."
"This is definitely enough." Li Jian was already the richest man in Meizhou, but he still felt very sad about this amazing generosity: "In Meizhou, don't even think about buying any more flowers within a month."
"How much will this cost?" Qian and Tu couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this: "Can't it be worth a few million?"
"Four flowers plus petals, four thousand." Li Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Our man spent all his dividends for the year."
"Isn't it just a waste of money?" The young man said indifferently: "Instead of squandering it like crazy, it's better to do something meaningful."
"Is this meaningful?" the three of them asked with wide eyes.
"So, no matter how much money you make, it's still commonplace." The young man curled his lips. ("")

Carloads of flowers were transported to Shaji Lane, and the small Su Mansion was instantly covered with white lilies and bright red roses... Soon, the Su family could no longer place another pot, so the workers put the flowers away.
The alleys were also filled with flowers, and later, with the Su Mansion as the starting point, the brocade woven with flowers spread out in a radial pattern across the streets and alleys of Meishan County.
After learning that these flowers can be taken away at will after being placed for three days, the hopeless romantic and playful spirit of the Song people were hopelessly inspired. They took out their own flowers and placed them at the door.
To support this colorful flower tide that fills the city with fragrance.
Firstly, the city is too small in this era, and secondly, there are too many flowers brought in. With the contribution of the citizens, half the city is actually covered with flowers.
It was already dusk, but people were lingering in the streets, admiring the colorful flowers all over the city, as if it was a grand festival. While people were joking and having fun, men, women, old and young, all envied the owners of these flowers...
But the owner of the flowers in that half of the city was sitting in a pavilion covered with lilies, leaning on the railing with his arms, watching the red sun gradually setting in the west, wondering what he was thinking.
The little girl was naturally stunned by these favorite flowers. She has had a dream since she was a child, hoping to live in a yard covered with lilies and dance in the rain of flowers... Today, at least half of her dream has come true. It is true.
It's so beautiful that it's dazzling, it's so beautiful that it's suffocating...the tears of happiness can't be stopped.
It’s just that the happier you feel, the more you want that person to be by your side. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will only become dull without you to enjoy it with you.
The little sister said in her heart that if he appeared in front of her with just one rose, she would rather not have all the flowers in the city... She endured the shame and asked Cai Chuanfu, but the other party didn't know where Chen Ke was now.
, As for today’s birthday celebration, it was decided half a year ago.
So there is still a possibility that I won’t be able to see him today…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the beginning of the lanterns, the banquet in Taoran Tower is still going on. ("") The hedonism of the Song people, especially the Shu people, is simply outrageous. The banquet that started at noon has continued until now.
Just entered**.
Feeling that the atmosphere was about the same, Mr. Lei Jianfu, who was sitting at the main seat on the second floor, picked up his wine glass and said to the guests at each table: "Everyone, you have a saying: 'A fair lady, a gentleman likes to be jealous; if you don't get what you want, sleep hard to get it.'
.The daughter of the Su family is a lady, and my little dog cannot be called a gentleman, but he has lived for three years, and his heart can be learned..." These words gave Su Xun enough face and made him feel a lot better.
After a pause, Lei Zhizhou continued: "On this beautiful day, and with the presence of all the distinguished guests as proof, I am looking at my face to replace the puppy..." Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a buzzing noise downstairs, which made Mr. Lei Jian
He frowned in displeasure, wondering why someone is so unruly?
His servant hurriedly went down to check, and after a while, he came up and said: "A group of people have come and are handing out books one by one."
"Issuing a book?"
"That's right." A young man wearing a brocade robe and a face like a crown jewel went upstairs, followed by several servants holding books. He sang to everyone, and the young man smiled and said: "My sister from the Su family has a book published.
I hurriedly hurriedly and hurriedly, and finally I didn’t delay today’s birthday banquet. All my friends who want to congratulate me have a copy.” He waved his hand.
"Xiao Liulang, what are you causing trouble here?" When Su Xun saw that it was the youngest of the Chen family, Su Xun couldn't pretend not to know him, so he had to scold him: "Has my daughter published any books?"
"Uncle Su, this is a failure of father's duty." Chen Liulang said with a smile, "You will know it if you have read it."
While he was talking, everyone here had a thick hard-cover book. The guests looked at the blue hard-cover cover, and the two large gilded characters "Dictionary" were particularly eye-catching. Many readers couldn't help but murmur to themselves:'
I have long heard that Chen Sanlang compiled a 'dictionary', but I have never had a chance to see it. I didn't expect to see it today... But, how did it become that Su Xiaomei compiled it?'
With this layer of doubt in mind, they opened the cover and saw the author's name printed on the title page:
‘Chen Ke, Su Xiaomei’!
There was a loud bang, and the second floor also exploded like the first floor. People rubbed their eyes vigorously, thinking, could it be that they were too drunk to be dazzled?
But no matter how much you rub it, it won't help. There are indeed two names on it - Chen Ke, Su Xiaomei...
Su Xun was stunned. This old man with a serious mentality of male superiority and female inferiority had never thought that a man would be willing to let a woman share his glory and be recorded in history together forever... Because if you scroll further, you will find this book
The preface and postscript of "Dictionary" were written by Zhao Zhen and Ouyang Xiu respectively!
No matter what the content is, it is destined to remain famous throughout the ages. Su Xun’s expression is wonderful, unexpected? Surprised? Satisfied? Angry? It’s extremely complicated.
"Hahahaha, it's so satisfying..." Su Shi seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac, hugging the "Dictionary" and kissing it again and again, then he jumped up from his seat and ran downstairs without even saying hello.
"Really, where are you going?" Su Che shook his head and followed downstairs with a smile. They couldn't help but tell their little sister the good news as soon as possible.
Others present will naturally not leave, but they can't help but look at Lei Zhizhou and whisper: "I can't blame others for coming to deliver books. It turns out that Mr. Fu Yin wants to steal love..."
Lei Zhizhou felt as if someone had slapped him hard twice, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip. Looking at his son, he felt as if he were mourning his heir... How could Lei Fang not know that once this "Dictionary" was published all over the world, except for
Apart from Chen Ke, there is no other person in the world who can marry Su Xiaomei...
Son, you have also seen that it’s not that we don’t work hard, it’s that the enemy is too cruel...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the backyard of the Su Mansion, the little sister was crying in tears while holding the thick "Dictionary". Mrs. Cheng, Banniang, brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe, and their wives, all gathered around her. Cheng
Needless to say, mother and son are naturally very happy for their little sister.
As for her two sisters-in-law, they were both happy for her and extremely envious of her... Priceless treasures are easy to find, but lovers are rare. The younger sister really has a good eye!
Su Shi was an emotional person, and he was about to shed tears with joy. He quickly raised his head, took a deep breath, then froze, and murmured: "Little sister, look up to the sky..."
It was already dark by this time, and the streets outside were still crowded with tourists. People were holding lanterns and enjoying their activities. The moon was bright tonight, so it was a good time to go out at night with candles...
I don’t know who exclaimed first: “Look at the sky!” Everyone raised their heads and saw dots of red lanterns slowly rising in the dark night sky. Looking around, there were thousands of them everywhere.
There are so many lights. These brilliant lights are intertwined with the brilliant starlight in the sky, shrouding the small Meishan City in a dream-like atmosphere.
Those are thousands of Kongming lanterns...
When those sky lanterns rose higher and higher, people suddenly saw something falling in colorful colors. Their eyes widened, and they saw clearly through the bright moonlight that they turned out to be petals all over the sky.
The further you go toward the Su family, the more Kongming lanterns there are, and the rain of flowers in the sky becomes denser, fluttering like snow flakes, and falling in the courtyard of the Su family, filling the courtyard with fragrance, like falling into a fairyland.
The little girl stretched out her hand, and several rose petals fell into her palm. The fragrance of the flowers was fragrant and refreshing. This was the girl's complete dream...
Everyone was immersed in the rain of flowers, but she suddenly rushed into the courtyard, holding her "Dictionary" in her arms, and shouted to the sky: "If you don't come out again, I won't do it for the rest of my life, and I won't give you anything."
You’re tickled!”
"Don't..." A lazy voice sounded, and Chen Ke climbed on the wall and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm back..."
