Huaxi Chronicle

The carriage slowly walked towards the Random Garden, and Yuzhu, who was listening intently outside the carriage, silently said to Xun Feibai: Bodhisattva Blessing.

There were two people in the car, one was jealous, but pretended nothing had happened.The other was obsessed with childhood fun, without the slightest notice.

Xun Feibai didn't understand the deep meaning in Yan Cong'an's words. Although she felt that the word "childhood sweetheart" was a bit strange when it was applied to her and Senior Sister Mu, it was not wrong to say it in terms of age. She nodded and said with some emotion : "We have known each other for more than ten years."

"Senior Sister Mu is really amazing, she won the second place in the palace examination last year, and she is a Hanlin Bachelor hand-picked by the Holy One."

The top three in the palace examination.Needless to say, they are all dragons and phoenixes.

In last year's imperial examination, Yan Cong'an had heard a little about Fang Zhaoyang, the number one scholar, and the second daughter of Fang Guowei, Minister of the Household Department.After winning the first prize, he asked the imperial decree in court to ask the emperor to marry the princess Yong'an.The Holy Majesty knew that the two were in love with each other, so he pushed the boat along the way and gave them a marriage.

The Zhuangyuan Lang proposed to marry the princess in court, which became a romantic story and spread all over the capital.

The second place, Mu Jianghan, did not have such an affair, and the emperor hand-picked the Imperial Academy.

Tanhualang Fan Bushang is not as young as the previous two, he is past his age, and he was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy.

After that, Yan Cong'an heard Mu Jianghan's name once, that day at the second uncle's house.

The second uncle mentioned that his favorite student, No. 1 is not Xun Feibai, but Mu Jianghan.Mu Jianghan is a talented young man with extraordinary literary talents, the leader of the provincial examination.At that time, the second uncle also jokingly called Xun Feibai and Mu Jianghan the "Shuangjie of Qingyun".

Yan Cong'an heard Xun Feibai's praise of Mu Jianghan, and her face became even colder. She said indifferently: "Mu Hanlin is very talented and has an extraordinary bearing. I wonder if she can be married?"

Xun Feibai didn't know much about what Yan Cong'an asked, so he answered truthfully: "I don't know about it. I've never heard her mention it. If she gets married, she will definitely tell me. But I seem to have heard her mention it. Senior Sister Mu has a woman she admires in her heart, and she originally wanted to talk about her thoughts with that person after she became an official."

Yan Cong'an raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Does Fei Bai know who it is?"

Xun Feibai thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, so he said, "I don't know either, but according to Senior Sister Mu, I'm afraid she is not a woman from an ordinary family. Otherwise, why do you have to be an official before you dare to tell your love?"

Yan Cong'an wanted to ask more about the two of them, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was too shadowy.

It doesn't matter who Mu Jianghan admires.On the other hand, I and Xun Feibai, although we often get together this month, but Xun Feibai is busy preparing for the exam, most of them are reading books in the study, occasionally playing chess, and not talking too much.

Although Yan Cong'an knew her intentions, she also hoped that Xun Feibai would be enlightened as soon as possible, but after all, spring was just around the corner, and she didn't want to distract Xun Feibai because of the woman's love here, so she never did other things.

In the past month, the two have obviously not been married yet, but they seem to have been an old couple for many years, they have always respected each other like guests, harmonious and calm.

Now that the spring has passed, if you don't seize the opportunity to tempt this idiot as soon as possible, and let it bloom and bear fruit naturally, I'm afraid it won't be too much to wait until seventy or eighty.

At that time, don't say that you are depressed, I am afraid that Chu Wuge will always write a story book and spread it all over the capital.

Yan Cong'an took the opportunity to change the subject and asked, "Now that the test is over, Fei Bai is here for the first time in Binzhou, is there any place he wants to go? How about we go out together for a few days?"

The carriage arrived at Random Garden and stopped slowly.

When the two got out of the carriage, Xun Feibai thought about it and said, "It's already the middle of May. It might be hot when we go out for a trip, but we can find a mountain forest to escape the heat."

Yan Cong'an felt that what Xun Feibai said was reasonable. In mid-May, it was already summer, and it was a bit cool in the morning and evening, but there was heat when the sun came out, and the scorching sun was even approaching the scorching heat, so it was really not suitable for traveling.

The two of them were thinking about where they could escape the summer heat, but they had no idea, Yuzhu on the side answered, "I thought of a good place, but I don't know if San Niangzi and Xun Xiaoniang would like it?"

Xun Feibai heard the words, turned to look at Yuzhu, and asked: "Then please tell Miss Yuzhu to listen."

Yuzhu glanced at Yan Cong'an, saw that she did not stop her, and continued, "We can go to Baoshan's hometown, Baoshanzhai. It's summer in Binzhou now, but Baoshanzhai is in Yulong Mountain, so it must be very cool .”

After Yuzhu finished speaking, she looked at the treasure box. There was a letter from the treasure box's family a few days ago, saying that the second sister in the family was getting married, and she wanted the treasure box to go back to attend the ceremony, but the treasure box was worried about Yan Cong'an's safety and kept delaying her return. But a little guilty.After Yuzhu knew about it, she wanted to directly mention it to Yan Cong'an, but with Yan Cong'an's heart, she should also agree to the treasure box to go home to visit.

The treasure box is different from Yuzhu. Yuzhu is a prostitute maidservant, while the treasure box is just a guard hired by Yan Cong'an. If he wants to, he can quit his job and go home at any time.It's just been a master and servant for many years, and Treasure Box also knows that it's an eventful time, Yan Cong'an got rid of her, and the rest are male guards, it is inevitable that sometimes there will be mistakes, so the matter of returning home has never been mentioned.

The treasure box listened to Yuzhu's suggestion that Yan Cong'an go to Baoshanzhai to escape the summer heat. She looked at Yuzhu's smiling eyes and felt grateful.When he came back to his senses, he saw three other people looking at him.

"It's true that the mountain is much cooler than the city now, and in a few days it will be the bonfire festival in our village. Every household in the village celebrates together, which is very lively. It's just that the conditions in the mountain are not as comfortable as at home. I'm afraid I will neglect San Niangzi and Miss Xun."

Hearing her talk about the Bonfire Festival, Xun Feibai had already heard about it.The Bonfire Festival is a festival of the ancient Qiangjing people. Xun Feibai had a schoolmate who was a member of the ancient Qiangjing people. He once talked about the Bonfire Festival.

The Bonfire Festival is a festival for the Qiang people in Gujing to worship their ancestors. The festival will be held for two days. According to the process, there are mainly greetings to the ancestors, followed by worshiping the ancestors, and finally a lively celebration, during which there are many activities such as bullfighting, wrestling, and dancing.When the classmate mentioned it, Xun Feibai felt that it was novel and interesting, so he made an appointment with him to visit it when he had time in the future.Thinking about it now, that classmate was also surnamed Bao at that time.

Xun Feibai thought of his classmates, and hurriedly asked, "Bao Xia, do you know Bao Chunsheng?"

Hearing Xun Feibai mention the name Bao Chunsheng, the treasure box was surprised, and she said: "Chunsheng, he is my cousin, Miss Xun knows him?"

Xun Feibai smiled and said, "Chunsheng is my classmate. He mentioned to me a few years ago that I also made an appointment with him to see the Bonfire Festival of the Qiang people in Gujing. I must go and see it when I have time."

When Treasure Box heard that Xun Feibai wanted to go to Baoshan Village, she was overjoyed, but she still looked at Yan Cong'an, and Yan Cong'an had to nod to decide whether to go or not.

Seeing the treasure box, Xun Feibai looked at Yan Cong'an, she also turned around, and asked with a slightly excited smile, "Jade Dragon Mountain must be refreshing and pleasant at this time of year, would you like to visit from Cong'an?"

Yan Cong'an stood at the side, listening to the conversation of several people, he had already seen that Xun Feibai wanted to go to the treasure mountain village very much, remembering that the treasure box followed him to the capital, and he had not returned home for three years, so he nodded in agreement, but still Can't help joking: "Looking at Fei Bai's eagerness, why don't we pack up our bags and set off today?"

Xun Feibai heard the teasing meaning in her words, felt that he was just impatient in the past, and said embarrassingly: "Go directly today, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'd better rectify it in a few days before setting off."

Baoshanzhai is more than [-] miles away from Binzhou, although the journey is not too far, but to go to Baoshanzhai to escape the summer heat, at least three to five days, at most seven or eight days.There are not many things to prepare, and one day is indispensable.

Three more days passed.

All travel matters were handled by the treasure box and jade beads, Xun Feibai and Yan Cong'an had breakfast, and went to the study as usual.There is no need to study books today, the two sit on the couch and play chess.

Xun Feibai remembered something, and asked, "When you were in Huaxi County, you told He that you wanted to check the accounts. Now, do you need me to help you check the accounts?"

Seeing that she still remembered this matter, Yan Cong'an explained: "I have read those account books a few days ago, and there is no problem."

Xun Feibai remembered that Yan Cong'an seemed to be quite busy in the past few days, but she was busy preparing for the exam, so she didn't bother to ask. I think Yan Cong'an was the one who checked the account books in those few days.

Tee, Tee, Tee.

There was a knock on the door of the study, and Yuzhu walked into the study with a wooden tray on which several clothes were placed.

Seeing the two of them, Yuzhu smiled and said, "Third lady, the new clothes are ready."

Yan Cong'an glanced at the tray, turned his head and said to Xun Feibai: "After summer, the weather is very hot. I saw that your clothes are all made of cotton. I was afraid it might be a little hot, so I asked someone to make some new ones for you. Fei Bai Go try it on and see if it fits you."

Xun Feibai looked at the tray in Yuzhu's hand, and asked in surprise, "Are these all made for me?"

Yan Cong'an was afraid that this person would refuse again, so he said, "Fei Bai doesn't like it? Last time you damaged a piece of clothing to save me, now I should pay you three pieces. Besides, you and I are engaged, we It's okay to make some clothes for you. Didn't Fei Bai say that he would no longer be so clear with me?"

When Xun Feibai heard her mention that day's agreement, he followed suit and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yuzhu also answered, "Miss Xun wants to try it now. If there is something inappropriate, I can ask someone to correct it immediately."

Xun Feibai nodded, reaching out to get the clothes in the tray.

Yuzhu hurriedly said: "I'll help Miss Xun take it to the house." After speaking, she turned and left the study and walked towards Xun Fei's white room.

Yan Cong'an also got up from the couch, and said to Xun Feibai, "I'm with you, just to help you take a look, the clothes fit you well."

The two left the study together and walked towards the main house.

When Xun Feibai returned to the house, Yuzhu had already put the clothes on the low table.These clothes are made of silk fabric, which is light and soft, and it is not heavy on the body, and it is indeed much cooler.

There are three clothes in total: tea-white cross-collared jacket with a waist-length jacket, and the collar is silver.It is a moon-white shirt with a large lapel collar and waist-length narrow sleeves, with orchids embroidered on the left waist.Light blue narrow-sleeved round-neck gown with auspicious clouds embroidered on the cuffs of the skirt.

Xun Feibai tried all three clothes on, and found that the size of the clothes was suitable and did not need to be modified. When he changed to the last light blue narrow-sleeved round-neck robe, Yan Cong'an said, "Just wear this one, it's very comfortable. Good for traveling tomorrow.”

Xun Feibai was also tired after changing several clothes, he followed Yan Cong'an's wish and did not change out of the new clothes.
