Spring Forest Evening

When I asked this question, if the other party wasn't just a little maid, Shen Fu would have wanted to applaud her. As expected of the person who used to follow Nanny Shen all day long, she was very clever. The answer must be that the flower was given by someone else, right?

On Zhou Heng's side, seeing the cute little girl tilting her head and asking herself in a serious manner, she couldn't bear to brush her off, so she imitated her tone and joked: "Why? It's not for repelling mosquitoes. Bar?"

"Oh, how could it be!" Chuntao was talking excitedly, and she wanted to stomp her feet when she heard the unsightly words. Hmph, Miss Biao must have interrupted on purpose.

"Miss Biao, you don't know that gardenias are luxuriant and evergreen all year round, which symbolizes happiness and auspiciousness! So, girls wear gardenias on their heads to find a lover!"

What?When I said this, I was mentally prepared, and both Shen Fu and Zhou Heng were stunned. They looked at the pot of flowers quietly blooming in the window at the same time, and they didn't expect it to have such meaning...

Shen Fu didn't say a word, Zhou Heng hurriedly interrupted the little girl's words: "Really? Where did you get all this nonsense!"

At the same time, he winked at her to signal her to stop talking, otherwise, it would be embarrassing for Shen Futang to be said so by a little girl, even though he is a man, he doesn't have any other meaning for sending flowers to him.

It's a pity that the little girl didn't understand. After hearing her words, she still felt that she couldn't lose face in front of the prince, so she quickly argued:

"Miss Biao, this servant is not talking nonsense! Didn't you ask Sister Chunyu to bring some books from the study room? These things are written in a book. That book talks about the customs of many places. If you don't believe me, this servant will look for it later. Come out and show it to you!"

Speaking of which, Chuntao was even a little annoyed when Zhou Heng said that she was asking nonsense, and she confessed that she and Chunyu were helping to read books to find some jade mines, so she simply told them all the things that were left in the book. up:

"Also, the book also said that girls not only like to wear gardenias themselves, but also give gardenias to their husbands during festivals. It's okay to be engaged, um... because, because in their place , Gardenia means a lifetime of happiness together, representing the love of husband and wife will never change!"

If Shen Fu knew the language of the 21st century, he would definitely praise Chuntao sincerely at this time: God assists!

Of course, the atmosphere in the room was made a little unusual by the little girl at this time, so let’s find a chance to reward her with something in the future. Seeing that Zhou Heng was dumbfounded by what he said, Shen Fu felt that it would be better to stop talking about this topic. , then coughed lightly and said something else:

"By the way, Ah Heng, you just reminded me of mosquito repellent. If it's hot today, although gardenias are placed in the window, they may attract insects. Liufeng Pavilion is by the water. I have already asked Shen Mama about it. Mammy, she said that some mosquito repellent has been brought over, and you ask them to spray more on places like doors and windows every day."

Why did you suddenly mention mosquito repellent?Zhou Heng is still thinking about the peculiar meaning of gardenia. It seems that the ancients were quite able to talk about it. It has almost the same meaning as the modern flower language, right?

So modern Valentine's Day roses are out of stock, and ancient Dragon Boat Festival gardenias are hard to find?

No matter what, it’s a critical blow to a single dog. No, it’s more humane in ancient times. Single dogs can at least wear gardenias on their heads to express their active pursuit, but I don’t know how the other party will react when they see it...

Zhou Heng was thinking about it, but Shen Fu had already asked her: "Ah Heng, how did you sleep these few nights? If it feels really hot, or, I'll ask Mother Shen to bring some ice cubes tomorrow."

This topic immediately successfully attracted Zhou Heng and Chuntao's full attention, and the two even said in unison: "Really?"

The tone sounded very happy, and it was indeed a little hot when I thought about it, Shen Fu smiled slightly and replied: "Of course it is true. But now, after all, the Dragon Boat Festival has just passed, and it is far from the midsummer, so it is better not to be greedy for coolness, enough is enough."

That is to say, the air conditioner is set to 18 degrees during the dog days, and now it means to turn it on to 28 degrees for the time being. Voice: "Okay, I'll make a note, thank you!"

After thanking him, the room fell silent for a while. Shen Fu pointed to a wooden box next to the withered lotus vase, and asked Zhou Heng: "The box...are those two epiphyllums?" Since the painting It's all said and done, let's take the opportunity to talk about the flowers.

Although Zhou Heng felt that he didn't need to worry about the fact that he was shut out in public in the study room, he was still silent for a while when he heard Shen Fu directly asking about the flowers in the box. Chuntao, who was ignorant, heard Shen Fu's words, and seeing that Miss Biao didn't answer, she quickly answered for her articulately:

"Back to the prince, it's two epiphyllum."

Now that the little girl had already replied, Zhou Heng saw that Shen Fu was still looking at him, so he had no choice but to reply: "Well, but I have to make tea for these two days, and I have already torn off several petals of one flower." At that time, you didn't want to return it yourself, so I enjoyed it myself.

"Oh?" Shen Fu was waiting for her answer. Hearing this, he took the opportunity to go to the desk and opened the box. Sure enough, one flower was missing a few petals, so he picked up another epiphyllum flower that was still intact. , turned around with a smile and said to Zhou Heng:

"How does it taste? Either give me this one, I don't know what the taste of Epiphyllum tea is."

It turned out that the purpose of sending Epiphyllum was to make himself some tea. Once again, Shen Fu felt that what he had done so hard was extremely correct, otherwise the misunderstanding in the middle would have been huge, and he secretly regretted that he had been given four prizes by "Ephemeral Epiphany" at that time. This word was dazzled, and it was returned indiscriminately. Fortunately, it is too late to make up for it now.

As he spoke, he took out his handkerchief to wrap the epiphyllum in his hand, and his movements were a little eager. If you look closely, you will find that Prince Jing's face is also a little red. Fortunately, he was standing at the window at that time, and there happened to be a The sky was full of red clouds, but the two girls in the room did not notice anything unusual.

In fact, not only did Zhou Heng fail to notice Shen Fu's abnormality, seeing him take Epiphyllum away as if talking to himself, he only thought that he was making up for what happened before, so he slowed down his tone and made up for it. sentence:

"The owner of that house said that epiphyllum has the effect of nourishing the heart and calming the nerves. It can clear the lungs and expel heat, relieve cough and regulate qi. Now that the weather is hot, I want to buy it back and drink a little. Anyway, it's just one flower if it's good or not. As for the problem. And I always put one or two petals at a time, not too much. The taste is not bad, then you can add some goji berries and honey to quench your thirst."

It was a response to his question just now.

These words made Shen Fu feel much more at ease, he smiled and lowered his head to put away the kerchief wrapped with epiphyllum, just at this time Chun Yu and Mu Yun also came back, after that they went downstairs to have dinner together Afterwards, Chuntao asked Chunyu curiously, why did the prince come so unexpectedly, how could there be just enough food?Sister Chunyu took this job really well, as expected, she had more experience than herself.

"Are you stupid?" Chun Yu nodded her forehead angrily after hearing this. Isn't this girl usually very clever: "My lord is coming, won't Madam Shen know? Naturally, I prepared the food early Done!"

Oh, how could I forget such a simple thing!Chuntao slapped her head, and quickly shared some good news related to Nanny Shen with her:

"That's right, why didn't I think of it! By the way, the prince said just now that he will ask the mother to deliver ice to us tomorrow. Elder sister, thanks to Miss Biao, we will be cooler when we sleep at night! There will also be in the afternoon during the day!"

This made Chun Yu very happy: "Really?!" With a roll of his eyes, combined with the situation during the dinner just now, he suddenly thought of something: the rain should have passed between the prince and Miss Biao!

And according to what Chuntao said now, not only did the two reconcile as before, but she and Chuntao could also get some credit for this, and live a refreshing and cool life earlier.

That's really good!

Thinking of this, Chun Yu once again felt that whenever the prince came over in the future, he had to serve him more "attentively", that is to say, he and Miss Biao should create more opportunities for him and Miss Biao to be alone, so as not to be an eyesore in front of the two of them. All right.

Anyway, Miss Biao is now living in the palace. If you want to avoid suspicion, you will not be able to avoid it. However, if the relationship between her and the prince grows stronger, it is not bad for Prince Jing's residence, and for a servant like myself. a blessing.

For this reason, in the process of Zhou Heng secretly teaching Shen Fu to swim, although Chun Yu gradually began to feel that something was wrong, but based on her preconceived romantic expectations for the relationship between the two, as well as her own positioning, and after all She was still an unmarried girl, so she shyly suppressed the doubts in her heart.

Anyway, Shen Momo, the chief steward of the inner courtyard, didn't say anything. She must have known about the prince's visit every evening. Shen Momo has always been upright, and if she thinks it's okay, then... there shouldn't be any problem, right?

However, that being said, Chuntao is still an ignorant little girl, and Nanny Shen always asks herself to explain things to herself, if the prince and Miss Biao go on like this...

So the girl who felt so tormented couldn't help but began to look forward to the hotter the weather. After all, as in previous years, the emperor should be preparing to go to the palace to escape the summer heat after the Dragon Boat Festival.

Chunyu thought optimistically that his prince did not accompany him because of his filial piety in the past three years. Although he claimed to be keeping his filial piety for Miss Biao this time, the Ministry of War is responsible for the security of the palace. It won't let him.

In this way, the prince will be able to separate from Miss Biao for a while with the emperor, or else... the girl who has already engaged, bit her lip and couldn't help thinking:

Is it true that once a man and a woman like each other, do they have to look for opportunities to be together all the time?
