195, Sakura Bamboo Party

There are hundreds of acres of cherry forests in the eastern suburbs of Kyoto. It is the peak fruiting period. Clusters of cherries are bending the branches brightly. New fruits that are as bright as agate, and green as jade as balls of leaves are more watery and playful than flowers.

"No wonder Su Dongpo said 'Two dou of peony and cherries'. It turns out that cherries shine on the eyes, and it is more beautiful than Hua." Xizi looked at the red fruit in the Bibi, feeling unconscious.

The three of them were led by the He family's manager. They walked slowly along the way, and occasionally they saw the He family servant who was chasing birds.

The manager smiled and said, "Don't be surprised, girls, those birds are the most hateful. If you don't care, all these fruits will be eaten up by them!"

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Cherries are originally contained in birds, so there is also a name called "Hantao".

Xia Liang didn't say much, so he couldn't help but joke: "The red cherry branches are pressed down, and there are orioles in the deepest part of the redness."

Housekeeper: I have seen it today. I just think that we girls are different from others. Their feelings are all like this...

The He family's villa is located deep in the cherry forest. Although the area of ​​the garden is not large, it is better to be winding and seeking secluded, and the seasons are in full bloom.

"The He family really loves their daughter. This 'Sakura Forest House' is specially made for senior Aman. It is said that it will be a dowry in the future." Xizi looked at the pair of elegant elks walking out of the vague sequel dormitory, and she didn't feel envious of He Aman.

The three of them are coming here for the first time, and they inevitably feel new. Outside Songliao is a small lake, and there is a platform built in a flowing cloud shape on the lake: "This is a place to enjoy lotus flowers?" Xiaoxiao asked without realizing that the lake is limited in area and there is no possibility of a variety of lotus flowers, but this platform is very large and can be used as a basketball court now.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "This is the place where our girls practice dancing."

"So she has such a big dancer!" Xizi couldn't help but exclaim, "I'll let her dance here later."

Xiaoxiao didn't feel that the garden was limited, but it would be very abundant if it was the private property of a girl's family. What's more, every brick, every tile, every mountain and every stone here was built according to He Aman's hobbies and ideas. A cane sugar sold, which was the largest in the country, which was quite amazing.

Bypassing the small lake, there is a open pavilion covered with dozens of green bamboos. Two large Luoyang cherry trees were planted in front of the pavilion, one red cherry tree and one white cherry tree. At this moment, they are all covered with fruits. From a distance, they look like a tree of red clouds and a tree of white snow, which is particularly wonderful. Today's cherry bamboo shoots will be set up here.

There are low tables under the tree, and there are Hu beds on the side, which are the seats of people from the Tang Dynasty, looking like today's horse stools.

The cherry tree was facing a rosy. At this moment, a woman in purple was standing under the flowers wearing a Tang Dynasty Hu clothing, with narrow lapels and sleeves, and was particularly elegant. She wore a unique dark purple Hu hat on her head, a black gold Guoluo belt on her waist, and a beautiful curve on her black boots.

Seeing the three of them at this moment, he walked over lazyly, and his eyes that seemed to be sleeping were bent: "I chose the wrong clothes today."

"Just just want to praise the Hu clothes of Senior Sister Qiu, which is particularly elegant." Xizi's Hozi skirt is very fresh when worn. The combination of Su Yuqing and Yanxia colors and the patterns are all from ancient silk paintings.

Xiaoxiao only looked at the woman in purple. Senior Sister Qiu, it seemed that it was Qiu Zisu. I heard that her elder sister was the most beloved Qiu Lipin in the palace. Now looking at this Senior Sister Qiu, she is really a beauty, especially this person, who seems to be indifferent to her beauty, but adds more charm.

Qiu Zisu sighed, "If I had known it was so hot, I wouldn't have worn this outfit." The dark purple Tang silk embroidered with golden zither bamboo, this Hu dress was a bit beautiful on the moonlit night in Chang'an. Qiu Zisu looked at it and smiled: "Your clothes are cool."

Among the few people, Xiaoxiao was the thinnest dress, and at this moment he smiled slightly: "I will always have to 'knock the green bowl of ice and divide the cane slurry'."

Thinking of eating the benchmark food of the Tang Dynasty’s cherry bamboo shoots kitchen, everyone’s mouth slightly raised.

"Everyone is beautiful Tang!" A bright voice sounded, and she looked at her smile and saw a beautiful woman coming out of the pavilion and talking gracefully. It was no exaggeration, but her daily movements were even more graceful.

Xizi whispered in his ear: "Senior Sister Aman comes from Handan."

Xiaoxiao was stunned: "No wonder there is a beauty in Handan."

Qiu Zisu heard this and smiled teasingly: "She was from Jiujiang. She went to Handan with many people to learn to walk, and everyone came back while crawling back, but she only learned it."

Everyone laughed when they said that, and He Amanniao came over: "Aqiu jokes again!"

He Aman came over and grabbed Xiaoxiao's hand: "Let me see our new member first... It turns out that he is beyond the reach of his youth. In the past, he only thought that Xizi was a great beauty, but I don't think Yingyuan would let Xizi do it."

Xiaoxiao smiled with shamelessness: "Senior sister praised it."

He Aman still smiled and said to the others: "This cherry bamboo chandelier has been packed for half a month, but it is still not ideal. As I said, I should remove the whole bunch of peach over there. Otherwise, I would always feel inappropriate."

He smiled and looked at the cherry blossoms in the distance that were blooming to the peak of the cherry blossoms: "This is Ying Jing'er. Xin Jiaxuan wrote: Light the cherry and shine on one, and the cherry blossoms are like snow."

Xia Liang praised first: "I have seen Yingyuan's knowledge today."

I smiled and coughed. My sister almost rushed to the semi-finals in the poetry competition. She must have something real in her mind.

I just felt that my sleeve was pulled. Looking back, it was Qiu Zisu, and my eyes were staring at her leisurely eyes and smiled: "Are you from the Tang family?"

This... there are only five people in a community. Can't you remember their surname? Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up and nodded.

"Is Tang Lihuan your brother?" Qiu Zisu walked up and had a faint smell of incense on her body. Perhaps the clothes were smoked with the fragrance of the King.

"Ann." Xiaoxiao only felt that Qiu Zisu and Xia Lianghe Aman were different, and there was no need to be polite to her.

He Aman led the road, and several people entered the pavilion in a row.

Qiu Zisu and Xiaoxiao fell behind: "Is it your brother?"

"No, he belongs to my uncle." Xiaoxiao told the truth.

"Where is he still in Shu?" Qiu Zisu looked at people when she seemed not used to talking. She just smiled and turned her eyes to the side.

"I'm afraid of heat, so I'll definitely not spend the summer there."

"It's already summer now," Qiu Yuansu picked a string of white cherries, twisted the densely-shaped leaves, and sniffed them between his nose: "Brother Ling...when will you return to Beijing?"

Xiaoxiao thought that ancient people should be very feudal, but who knew that this autumn girl could ask about the whereabouts of an adult man so calmly. This woman is likely to fall in love with her second brother, and it is also likely that... the second brother owed others money.

"Maybe, spend the summer somewhere else." This is really hard to say.

"Oh." Qiu Zisu's voice darkened, "Don't your children stay at home for their birthdays?"

"The family is open, there is no such rule." Xiaoxiao thought about it. The second brother's birthday was indeed midsummer. It seems that he even knew about his birthday. Maybe the two of them had a candlelight dinner together? They were guarding the cake and roses and sang birthday songs together...

However, I really don’t remember my second brother having such a girlfriend.

Qiu Zisu no longer made a sound, but only held a white cherry with a waxy glow in his mouth.

Xiaoxiao said: "The business of Huafang is peak season in midsummer, and people always have to come back."

Qiu Zisu's eyes were slightly sleepy and her mouth was raised. She held the Hu hat made of yarn and came over to look at Xiaoxiao's paintings: "Your silk is interesting, did you draw it yourself?"

"It was painted by the painter. I'll bring you a few. You'll choose one later." Xiaoxiao knew that Qiu Zisu was unintentional at this moment, and I'm afraid she was already thinking about how to spend the summer vacation with her sweetheart...

There was a open opening in front of me. Xia Liang was standing in front of the door and looking at the crystal curtain: "It's rare that Aman has this kind of heart. Even this crystal curtain did not choose the pearl curtain we are commonly used, but instead beaded with thin silk and weaving it all, like a bamboo curtain."

It is worthy of being from Ji Ancient Society. When you see antique items, you will inevitably stop and watch them.

Xiaoxiao and Qiu Zisu also stopped, looking at the thin cloud-like crystal 'curtain mat', Xiaoxiao said unconsciously: "In "Spring Sorrow" Wen Tingyun of the Tang Dynasty mentioned that 'Red silk was cold in the curtain of dewdrops, and a hundred feet of slumber was dull and slim under the skin'. The wisdom of the ancients was sighing."

I have seen this research, and some experts speculated that the Tang Dynasty had already begun to use pulley-like pulley devices to lift and lower the curtains.

Qiu Zisu frowned: "It's really hard to imagine how spectacular the hundred-foot bead curtain would be. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty was difficult to reach for a hundred dynasties."

Xia Liang smiled: "The white cherry in Aqiu's hand, the slightly curled crystal curtain, really echoes the saying, "The crystal curtain looks like nothing, and the white dew drops are oozing."

"Let the people of the poetry club hear it, and they will say that our Ji Ancient Club has lost their book bags!" He Aman's voice sounded in the opening, "The sun is poisonous outside, why are they all coming in yet!"

The open house was very cool. The local area had a cool blanket and a desk, and it seemed that it was about to sit on the ground.

Xia Liang had already sat down cross-legged: "No wonder Yingyuan said 'The green bowl beats ice and divides sugarcane pulp'. There are so many crispy mountains, ice cheese and ice cane pulp here. It's almost time to catch up with the use of ice in the summer season."

He Aman smiled: "After the time, it was getting cooler outside, so let's go to the yard to sit on the bed. The cherries were ripe. The rain in front of them made the bamboo shoots grow better, and all of them were in line with the situation."

Five members of the Muyaji Ancient Society sat down one after another. In front of each, fresh cherries were placed like agate-like pitted fresh cherries, and in the glass cup next to it was filled with amber cane slurry, snow-white semi-coagulated fresh cheese, golden ice honey juice, crystal clear broken lotus root ice...

Xiaoxiao didn't feel emotional. In fact, modern ice cream, shaved ice, etc. already existed in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Tang people were more good at choosing their favorite sauce than modern people, and poured them on fresh cherries that were pitted like a braised rice.

Xiaoxiao first chose fresh cheese, accompanied by a little sweet cane paste, poured it on the cherries, and sent it into the mouth with a silver spoon.
