After Zhang He planted twenty pieces of potatoes, he planted another twenty or thirty pieces of sweet potatoes. Now the entire Qinghe Village knows that she is interested in this fresh crop. They will also walk around in their free time to see if they can find any fresh taro.

　But what makes them regretful is that they are not as lucky as Li Qingshi and Guo Si. Some people simply brought some taro to Zhang He and said, "Zhang Erlang, look at what this is?" "Taro

　. "Zhang He said, do you think I don't know all the grains and even taro? !

　The man left angrily.

　Some people still remember the melon seedlings in Zhang He's vegetable field, but before they knew it, those vegetables had changed several times, and the melon seedlings had long since disappeared. They asked Zhang He what those melon seedlings were producing, and Zhang He said, "I don't know. I saw that they were an eyesore, so I pulled them out." Originally, she wanted to grow tomatoes justifiably, but her cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes had already stopped

　. It attracted people's attention. If tomatoes were added to the list, others would always suspect her. For this reason, she could only endure her cravings and pull out the tomato seedlings.

　In February, when the weather was gentle and drizzly, the prefectural government and county government sent officials to various parts of Fuzhou to encourage farmers to cultivate mulberry trees. Shi Qing took advantage of his free time to go to Zhang He and take away two stones of grain seeds.

　He originally planned to buy it from Zhang He for five hundred coins and one stone, but Zhang He refused to accept it and only said: "When Brother Qingshan buys grain seeds from me again next year, how about I stop being polite to you?" he said

　. "Although Erlang and I are friends, the accounts must be kept clear, even if the yamen owes Erlang first!"

　When he learned that Zhang He was planting two newly discovered crops, he also curiously went to the field to take a look. , smiled and said: "Erlang always has unexpected performances in agricultural classes, and he doesn't know what the things called 'potatoes' and 'yams' look like!" Zhang He quickly distanced himself: "This is not what I discovered

　. , I'm just very curious about its origin and want to know if it's worth planting so I'll give it a try." "

　Then you have to tell me what the result will be."

　"Definitely."

　Shi Qing said again: "One more thing, Hua Chaojie, do you want to go out together?"

　Hua Chaojie. Zhang He instantly recalled the Flower Festival a year ago, when flowers were in full bloom. She and Xia Jiniang enjoyed the petals falling in the wind and flying all over the sky under the flower tree, and tied the ribbon with novelty and joy. , have fun with others.

　She thought that perhaps at that time, she had already had some feelings for Xia Jiniang, but she had not noticed it for a long time. Although she gave the hairpin to Xia Jiniang to thank her for saving Zhang Xian, when she chose it, didn't she give it to her with the hope that she would get it? !

　"What are Erlang thinking?" Shi Qing asked with a smile.

　Zhang He came back to his senses and smiled: "Remembering some past events, I was distracted for a moment, which made Brother Qingshan laugh. I have an appointment with Hua Chao Festival, and I'm afraid I won't be able to accept Brother Qingshan's invitation." "I see

　. , no problem."

　After bidding farewell to Shi Qing, Zhang He couldn't wait to return home and carefully take care of the begonia flowers that had bloomed with small buds, and the potted rhododendrons. Although she only planted these two kinds of flowers, the crabapple flowers took up half of the open space behind the main house. When they were in full bloom, the view from the north window of the main house was pleasing to the eye.

　There were eight pots of cuckoos, one on each of the south windowsills of the main house, one in Zhang Xian's house, two in the front hall, and the rest in the yard in front of the main house. She still felt that it was not enough and planned to plant more. After all, the yard in front of the main house was empty and not elegant at all.

　She completely constructed the furnishings of the yard in her mind, but she always felt that there were some shortcomings. The yard was too empty, and she was not a flower farmer, so she wanted to fill the yard with flowers. After thinking about it again, she ran out of the house.

　When Xia Jiniang saw her coming back, she went straight to the flowers and ran out without saying a word. She thought something had happened and wanted to follow her to have a look, but she stopped her steps. When Zhang He came back, she asked: "Erlang went out in such a hurry, but what happened?" Zhang He seemed to be in a

　good mood. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "It's nothing, and it's a good thing if something happens." Ji Niang , how about we go to the county town to enjoy the flowers during the Flower Festival?"

　Xia Jiniang remembered that the Flower Festival would be in two days, and she glanced at the flowers on the side: "Isn't Erlang planting flowers to save energy and enjoy flowers during the Flower Festival? In this case, why go to the county? "

　" This flower is monotonous and is only for us to enjoy on weekdays. The fun of the Flower Festival is that you and I accompany you on outings, not the flowers." Zhang He took one more look at the Begonia flower and thought he liked it, so he also gave it as a gift

　. Giving herself an expensive hairpin, the memory of this flower festival came to mind, and Xia Jiniang could no longer refuse. She said: "Since Erlang has such a leisurely mood, then I will accompany you!"

　Zhang He asked: "Ji Niang, don't you like flowers?"

　"Why does Erlang ask like this?" She didn't have a particular preference for flowers, just flowers. It was so beautiful. When it was in full bloom, it not only added beauty, but also smelled the fragrance of the flowers. It was inevitable that she would also love it. Moreover, Zhang He specially planted Begonia flowers for her, and she seemed to gradually fall in love with this flower, not only for its beauty, but also for Zhang He's love.

　"Don't you have any expectations for the Flower Festival?" Zhang He asked dully. She didn't expect that she would look like this when she heard about the Hua Chao Festival, but it was just because she spent an unforgettable Hua Chao Festival with Xia Jiniang and Zhang Xian that she gradually fell in love with him.

　"As Erlang said, the fun of the Flower Festival is that you and I travel together, not the flowers. With you accompanying me, it no longer matters whether it is the Flower Festival. Even if I only have these few pots of azaleas and a piece of crabapple, I will I'm so happy."

　"As long as you're happy!" Zhang He smiled happily.

　Zhang Xian also wanted to go to the Flower Festival to join in the fun, but Zhang He didn't allow him to skip school, so he could only admire a few rhododendrons blooming in the courtyard with the children in the village school. Zhang He and Xia Jiniang drove a donkey cart to Fuzhou City before dawn, and then watched the flowers blooming and recalled the old days.

　At the beginning of spring, when hundreds of flowers are blooming, the streets are bustling with people, even more lively than last year's Flower Festival.

　There are gradually more and more flower farmers on both sides of the street carrying flower poles and pushing wheelbarrows to sell delicate flowers, and each shop also puts out some items to attract customers. There are also hanging paintings and calligraphy by famous sages, attracting many poets and poets to come and see them first.

　As people came and went, Zhang He held Xia Jiniang's hand tightly, fearing that he would be scattered by the crowd if he didn't pay attention.

　"Should we still go to worship the Flower God?" Xia Jiniang asked Zhang He.

　"I heard that there is a butterfly fighting party in Xiaohu Garden, and there is also a Laojun birthday party held in the Taoist temple on Nanping Street. It is very spectacular with thousands of lanterns burning. Let's go to see how to fight the butterflies first, and then go Enjoy the lanterns."

　The small lake garden is located near Longquan Temple. It was a garden built by the former governor who spent a lot of money. He dug the river flowing through Fuzhou City and poured water into the dug depression to form a lake. Later, they built pavilions and rugged rockeries by the lake, and planted various flowers and plants in the garden. The scenery is beautiful no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter.

　Later, when Qin Gaozu founded the country and established a dynasty, this place was taken over by the imperial court. The governor of Fuzhou decided to smash the door here so that the people could come and go at will. Literati and poets like to hold literary meetings here, and this is also the place where many good stories about talented people and beauties are spread.

　The Xiaohu Garden is no less lively than the temple dedicated to the God of Flowers. Young ladies wearing undershirts and heavy makeup walk in groups of twos and threes, composing poems, singing, passing flower orders, and fighting with herbs. They are very comfortable.

　When Xia Jiniang saw them, she regretted that she only wore light makeup and plain clothes today. Compared with them, she was not bright at all.

　Zhang He looked around and said secretly to Xia Jiniang: "I looked around and Ji Niang is still pretty!" "

　Nonsense." Xia Jiniang said angrily.

　"They wear heavy makeup and are as beautiful as flowers, but Ji Niang is so beautiful that she can even compare with flowers." "

　If people listen to what you said, I'm afraid it will make people angry!" Xia Jiniang bit her lower lip lightly, but she felt in her heart It's sweet.

　The two of them walked to the courtyard where the largest number of people had gathered. They heard that the most flowers were planted here and attracted many butterflies. The butterfly party was held here.

　However, most of the people fluttering the butterflies were young ladies, while the literati were drinking and composing poems in the pavilion nearby. If someone sees each other because of this, it will become a romantic story of its own.

　"There are too many people, let's leave!" Xia Jiniang pulled Zhang He's hand, and they both retreated, but Xia Jiniang bumped into a soft and fragrant body.

　"Hey!" With a sweet cry, Zhang He stretched out his hand to support Xia Jiniang. Looking up, he saw that the young and slender figure who had been hit by Xia Jiniang was stabilized with the help of the maid.

　The maid glared at Zhang He and Xia Jiniang angrily and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know how to read the road?" Zhang He and Xia Jiniang were very ashamed. When they were about to speak, the person who was hit held down the maid

　. He said, "They must have done it unintentionally. There is no need for them to make such a fuss."

　"But my lady, your body..." The maid hesitated to speak.

　"It's not my fault, please forgive me, madam." Xia Jiniang said.

　Zhang He wanted to apologize, but when she saw the woman's appearance clearly, she was stunned for a while. Xia Jiniang also recognized her. Although she was wearing a loose, long-sleeved shirt, it made her slim body look better. Her face was delicate and elegant under her bun, which made her look like a lady. If not Fang Ying, she was who? !

　Compared with the last time we met, Fang Ying looked much better at this time. Her face was only lightly painted with rouge and gouache, and her eyebrows were trimmed quite softly.

　Fang Ying also stared at them for a while, and then asked: "Have you two ever bought rouge at Fang Ji Rouge Shop?" "Madam, is the

　young owner of Fang Ji Rouge Shop?" Zhang He asked, although it was a question. But the answer is already known.

　Fang Ying nodded, and Xia Jiniang asked again: "Do you remember us, Mrs. Fang?" Zhang He

　and Xia Jiniang were slightly surprised. The first time they met Fang Ying was at Fang Ji Rouge Shop, so they could only remember her appearance clearly. Because what happened to her left a lasting impression on them. But Fang Ying had never even seen them head-on, so how could she say they seemed familiar?

　A faint smile appeared on Fang Ying's face, and she said: "The Shidai used by this lady to draw her eyebrows comes from the Fang family, the flour is Fang Ji's Jade Girl Peach Blossom powder, and even the lipstick is Fang Ji's sandalwood." "Mrs. Fang's family

　. What a good eye!" Xia Jiniang praised.

　"It's just that you bumped into me just now, and the fragrance on your body made me feel very familiar, so I remembered it." Fang Ying slightly covered her face with a scarf, pursed her lips and smiled, "Just now this lady asked me if I remember you, I I suddenly remembered, have we met somewhere?"

　Zhang He and Xia Jiniang were embarrassed to say that they had seen her at Fang Ji Rouge Shop, after all, there were rumors about her in the Rouge Shop at that time. Although they were not involved, it was still embarrassing enough.

　Zhang He said: "Whether we have met before or not, we are acquaintances today. The little accident just now caught us off guard, so we forgot to introduce ourselves. It is really rude. I'm Zhang He, this is my family, my surname is Xia." Fang Ying

　's His eyes wandered over their bodies, and he smiled and said: "Zhang Guanren and Madam Xia have a deep love for each other, and they travel hand in hand to the Hua Dynasty, which is enviable." The maid next to Fang Ying was pushed by people coming and going, and she quickly said: "

　Madam , it's better to find a secluded place to sit down and talk slowly. There are many people here, and you will be tired standing." "

　That's what the little girl said." Zhang He had already thought of this when he saw the slight sweat on Xia Jiniang's forehead. .

　"There is a three-story attic behind the lake. You can see the whole garden from the second and third floors. There is also a verandah on the first floor where you can rest. We can go there." Fang Ying said quietly. When she mentioned the attic, the look in her eyes They were all depressed, but in front of the two of them, they quickly regained their spirits.

　The author has something to say: Guess what Brother Donkey ran out to do, and give out a red envelope for the correct guess before the answer is revealed, haha ​​(you will never guess it)
