Chapter 239 239. Flower Appreciation Banquet at Huai Taoshan
Calculated in this way, most women in the Yan Dynasty were 17 or 18 years old when they got married, and some were two years older. There were very few who were over 20 years old and were still unmarried. .
If you are a Jianghu woman, you will only be older. It is normal to be unmarried in your 20s.
Cheng Xi thinks this age is reasonable enough.
Thankfully, it is not the Qing Dynasty. You have to get married at the age of 13 or 4, and you don’t know anything yet. Do you want two children to live together or play?
Marry
Cheng Xi looked at Shen Xingqi and thought of the little girl's heroic appearance that became more and more brave in recent battles, and suddenly felt very comfortable.
Well, no matter who you marry, the other person will definitely be the unlucky one.
She is not worried about her sister-in-law's marriage at all. According to Shen Xingluo's brother-in-law, Bai Qiehei's attributes will definitely not be much worse. I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort for the other party to return the beauty.
“Master, Huai Tao Mountain has arrived.”
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain. Shen Xingluo got out of the carriage first, turned around and extended his hand to Cheng Xi who had just stepped out of the carriage.
"Wangshu is following Madam today. If you need anything, come to me."
"Let her stay with Xingqi, maybe we will go shopping separately."
< br>Cheng Xi is now a married woman, and the female family members staying with Mrs. Du Er are also women. The girls should have their own social circle, not to mention that the couple can communicate completely through consciousness.
Shen Xingluo thought about it and looked towards Wangshu.
"Sir, I will protect the second young lady."
"That's good."
Huaitaoshan is a time when there are many tourists recently, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. Shen Jiapu The ordinary carriage did not attract the attention of others at all, and the four of them walked through the crowd and stepped into the pink.
This is a garden covering an area of 100 acres. It is called a mountain because the altitude of Huaitao Mountain is higher than that of Fucheng Street. Standing at the door, you can overlook half of Fucheng.
The green grass in the garden is not very tall because it was pruned. There is a main road paved with stones in the middle of the peach grove. Occasionally, there are small branch roads extending in all directions. Pink peach blossoms, green grass, The interplay of stone paths is refreshing and refreshing.
"The scenery here is really good."
Although it is man-made, it is purely ancient without modern equipment.
Shen Xingqi smelled the rich fragrance of peach blossoms in the air, and suddenly thought, "This is the best time to make peach blossom cakes, right?"
"Indeed, you can also make peach blossom cakes. , peach blossom cake, peach blossom wine, if the equipment is complete, it can also extract peach blossom perfume.”
“It’s a pity that the peach blossoms in this garden cannot be picked.”
"There are several trees on Shennong Mountain, just pick one. It is ownerless."
"Yes, why didn't I think of that?"
The aunt and sister-in-law were discussing the peach blossoms with great interest. Shen Xingluo listened to the 108 ways to eat it, his expression calm and unremarkable.
Only Wang Shu, who was following behind, had his mouth twitching. He looked at the young master and then at the happy madam and second young lady, and almost lost control of his expressionless face.
Although it has been some time since I entered the Shen family, the owner’s weird ways are still a bit uncomfortable.
The four of them walked in the peach forest for about five minutes when they saw several forks in the road ahead.
"Go forward along the road to the left and you will find Peach Blossom Pavilion. Just go to the door and show your invitation."
"I understand."
Cheng Xi We have seen that the tourists in front of us were automatically divided into several waves. Most of the female family members went to the front left, tourists with their families were dragged to the front, and most of the male guests went to the right.
“You want to go to the southeast, where does that lead to?”
"Tingshui Tower."
Is it near a river or stream?
Cheng Xi had already heard the sound of gurgling water in the distance, "Then I will take Xingqi there."
The four of them separated at the fork in the road, and Shen Xingluo went alone. Attend a banquet. Cheng Xi met many ladies and ladies with maids along the way, all of whom were well-dressed. On the other hand, the three of them were already dressed very simply.
Through the gaps in the peach forest, you can see tourists on another stone road. Most of them are traveling as a family or in same-sex groups. Although their clothes are not as luxurious as here, they are not affordable for ordinary people.
"Peach Blossom Pavilion is very high, with seven floors. Standing on the top floor, you can see the entire peach forest."
"Xingqi has been here before?"
< br>"My mother brought me here six years ago, and we took this road. My father and brother went to Tingshui Building opposite."
Cheng Xi remembered that Father Shen was a master of Huaishan Academy during his lifetime, It’s not strange at all to show up here with your family.
"But I was young and didn't know much at the time, so I just felt bored staying with my mother."
"If there were only scenery and tourists, it would be really boring for a child."
"Yeah, you won't have to recite poems to the peach grove today, right?"
"Maybe you can also play the piano and paint."
Shen Xingqi's smiling face wrinkled into a bitter melon after hearing this , which made Cheng Xi laugh for a while.
"I remember that you like reading a lot, and you are good at playing the piano."
This is true. I remember that when she first came here, the little girl stayed in the house most of the time, reading and embroidering, and occasionally played the piano. Relax and be a standard little lady.
"But these are really useless."
Shen Xingqi couldn't tell when exactly she changed her mood. She said rejection and dislike didn't reach that level, but these It's no longer the focus of her life.
Cheng Xi comforted her, "It's okay to cultivate your sentiments. Besides, it's not like admiring flowers all day long."
"What my sister-in-law said is that as soon as I heard about flower appreciation, I thought of my previous experience. It was really impressive." ."
" Then why?"
Cheng Xi motioned her to look at the tourists around her, "These are the people who can come to enjoy the flowers."
Without anyone else participating, the scholars can only do it. Playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, doesn’t it make you more elegant?
"."
Shen Xingqi was stunned and began to think deeply.
Most ordinary people live on a basic level of food and clothing. Nowadays, it would be nice to not be hungry during snowstorms and cold snaps. Instead of wasting time looking at the scenery, it is better to go to the dock to carry sacks and earn a few copper coins.
Just this time, aren't they the only ones in the entire Shenjia Village?
Peach Blossom Pavilion has seven floors, and the building is full of ancient charm and very grand.
The courtyard next to you is not big or small. Occasionally, tourists gather together to drink tea and chat. It is very comfortable to have their clothes swaying in the wind.
Cheng Xi handed the invitation to the boy outside the courtyard and looked through the courtyard door at the lady who was talking and laughing inside.
"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen, and Mrs. Du are on the second floor of Taohua Pavilion. Please come in."
Cheng Xi led Shen Xingqi into the courtyard and saw a familiar person. The girl stood in front of you and looked forward to it. When she met her eyes, she smiled and walked over.
"Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen."
The other party gently leaned forward and saluted, "My wife thought that Mrs. Shen should have arrived, so she sent me to pick you two up."
"We are late, please wait here."
