The Pearl of the Lady

Chapter 128 The first meeting of family background is for you (1)
The colorful blooms are everywhere, and the only love is shallow.

In the garden of Gu Guogong’s mansion, peonies are elegant and luxurious, peonies are gorgeous and colorful, and clean and elegant orchids are smiling in the sun... There are so many kinds, there are no less than a hundred thousand kinds, but Shen Yuran only needs to pick a viburnum.

"Qionghua" is also written as "Qionghua". The flower is as beautiful as jade. The poet once praised "thousands of pearls hold the pistils, and a ring of bright moons breaks the fragrant flowers." This flower was originally planted in Yangzhou, and later the family members went to Yangzhou for business , brought back three viburnums as gifts, these flowers are delicate, since they were transplanted, a special gardener has been serving them, but two of them have died, only the one planted in Ah Fu’s yard is alive and well .

This Qionghua is considered rare in the capital. If it is brought from Yangzhou, there are many powerful and rich people in the capital, and they can ask people to get a few back. Because it is not suitable for the local climate, when it arrives The capital can't keep it alive, so this plant in Gu Guogong's mansion is special. When it bloomed last year, it was just in time for the queen's birthday. Ah Fu originally wanted to give the viburnum to the queen. The queen was also happy and hugged Ah Fu in her arms. She persuaded in her arms, "Auntie knows that our Ah Fu is filial, but this flower is not easy to support. If it is sent to the palace, if it withers, it will not be beautiful. This flower has a fate with us Ah Fu."

It was not easy to send flowers, so Ah Fu drew a picture of Qionghua and gave it to the queen.

The grown viburnum tree can be several feet high. The tree in Ah Fu’s courtyard is still small, only reaching the height of Ah Fu’s shoulders, but it is already full of pure white jade flowers, as if covered by snow in the middle of winter, radiant and brilliant. Crystal clear, fragrant and fragrant, the flowers are as free as jade, and they bloom like a gathering of eight immortals. Among them is a jade butterfly, which rises above the flowers.

The people of Chang’an City follow the trend very closely. As soon as Ah Fu’s "Qinghua" came out, people immediately sent many Hakka families to Yangzhou to bring flowers, but they brought them back, but there was not a single plant to support them. People in the teahouse sat chatting and chatting, saying, "Qinghua is like jade and has a spirit, only the pearl can support it."

These days are the days when Qionghua blooms.

If the flower is not in bloom, the tree will be full when it blooms. From a distance, it looks like a white umbrella is propped up in Ah Fu Yuan. Ah Fu likes the fragrance of this flower, and often picks the petals to dry to fill the fragrance. bag.

Gu Qixuan was still a little puzzled when he thought about the Qionghua at home. Although this Qionghua seemed rare and precious, after all, it just occupied a different place, and it was not particularly unusual in Yangzhou. Why did the number one scholar fall in love with it?Is it homesickness?He glanced at Shen Yuran who was walking side by side, Shen Yuran returned a gentle smile, Gu Qixuan also smiled, Zhuangyuan Lang was young and handsome, and he didn't know how many girls in Chang'an City would be attracted by him.

Wait, girl... Fangxin... the young and handsome No. [-] scholar, if you want to say the number one noble daughter in Chang'an, then of course it's my family's Ah Fu, why isn't he here for my sister?

Gu Qixuan swept away his casual attitude, and looked at the number one scholar next to him very seriously. Shen Yuran felt the change in Gu Qixuan's attitude. He was secretly happy, but he didn't show it on his face. He let Gu Qixuan look at him with a natural and generous attitude.

Shen Yuran is actually a very good marriage partner. He is handsome, talented, and has a bright future. I don't know his personality yet. From what he has been in contact with so far, he has the gentleness and elegance unique to a literati, but he does not have the sourness of a scholar. This kind of personality It can be regarded as pleasing, as for the family background, ordinary people don't know, but once the imperial list is posted, the various families in Chang'an City have already investigated it.

Of course, Shen Yuran is not an unknown person, and his background is more popular among literati than Zhou Ran, but he doesn't mention it much.

Shen Yuran was born in the Shen family in the south of the Yangtze River, a land of beauty and beauty in the south of the Yangtze River. Since ancient times, there have been many talented people. The Shen family is a well-known family of poetry and books in the local area. After the collapse, the old man became seriously ill in a fit of anger. Before he died, he told his descendants not to be officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The literati family valued the character of filial piety, and the descendants were really restrained from generation to generation. After all, the Shen family is also a big family. No sound, just relying on the open academy will not starve to death.

This has been passed down for three generations. Shen Yuran is the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the Shen family. He is a man with ideas. He loves to read history books. The fall of the previous dynasty is inevitable. The monarch is fatuous and incompetent, the courtiers are corrupt and powerless, and the people are in dire straits. Only then was he replaced by the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has his own ambitions in his heart. To help the world and save the people, make this country a better place.Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in its prime, the monarch is wise, why can't he become an official?

Shen Yuran didn't talk to his father all at once, but revealed some of his thoughts during the conversation. His father was furious, so he couldn't talk about it. Shen Yuran originally wanted to talk to his father slowly, but didn't Thinking about it, he heard that his parents had found a matchmaker to make an engagement for him. He felt that Shen Yuran would be able to settle down after the engagement, so Shen Yuran decided to run away immediately.

He has always been filial and obedient. No one would have thought that he would run away like this. He didn't even bring his own servant, so he packed up his package and left by himself. There was no problem with the route and method of this trip. The only problem was that as a A son of a big family, especially in his family who still think that literati should not talk about things. In this case, Shen Yuran actually doesn't understand the price of goods, and spends a little too much on the road.

When he arrived in the capital, he didn't even have the money to stay in the hotel. Shen Yuran was not a rigid scholar, and he didn't have any mental pretensions like I'm a scholar. He brought all his pen, ink, paper and inkstone with him With a gentle smile, he borrowed a table from the lady next door who was buying tofu, and started setting up a stall.

He looks gentle and elegant, looks like a scholar, writes family letters on behalf of him, and typed out a small 10-character signboard, and there is a business within a short time. , he didn't rush, just waited patiently, the girls also came to join in the fun, asking him to write a poem or something, not for anything else, just to sit in front of him for a quarter of an hour, it's worth watching so closely .

After the release of the list, the people who wrote letters to him at that time were very excited. The aunt went home and let the little grandson touch the unsent letter to get some spiritual energy. Maybe in a few years, the grandson will also be able to make a name for himself in the exam. If you come out, you don't have extravagant hopes for the number one scholar, and it's good to be a scholar.The girls thought, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, he is still the number one scholar now, that ten coins is worth a lot.

Talking about the situation of the day, after a day, I earned neither too much nor too little, which was just enough to pay for the hotel. Shen Yuran was quite content, and was about to go to the shop, but before he got up, someone came to him.
