Chapter 265: Kong Luhua's Birthday Ceremony
For Ruan Yuan, perhaps the biggest happy event in these days is that it is the end of May and it is Kong Luhua's 28th birthday. Although Kong Luhua has told Ruan Yuan that there is no need to make excessive arrangements for his birthday, Ruan Yuan still misses his wife
After all, if you were born in the Yanxian Palace, if you were like me, you would refuse all gifts. Not only would it be unkind, but it would also be difficult to achieve, so you would not be too demanding. Fortunately, although there were gift-givers, they were nothing more than some ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and nothing more.
The gold and silver treasures saved the Ruan family a lot of effort.
Among the gifts on this day, the most eye-catching thing is a huge screen, which is about ten feet long. There are flowers in bloom and butterflies dancing on it, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. In the picture, there are several large peonies.
The flowers are particularly eye-catching. The peonies are blooming in the wind, and they are magnificent. Next to the peonies, there is a pair of butterflies, whirling around the peonies. They seem to be attracted by the beauty of the peonies and are unwilling to leave.
At this time, Liu Wenru was about to give birth, so Ruan Yuan tidied up the Shouhu Hall in the front yard and let her live in it. Only Xie Xue and Tang Qingyun were watching the painting with Kong Luhua. Looking at the butterflies surrounding the peony, they were reluctant to leave.
Tang Qingyun couldn't help but wonder, and said to Kong Luhua: "Madam, look at these two butterflies, they don't look like they are here to collect pollen, but they seem to have fallen in love with this biggest peony and are reluctant to leave. Hehe, that's right.
A bit like Madam and Master."
"Sister, what kind of metaphor are you talking about?" Xie Xue couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said: "If you say that this peony butterfly is the madam and the concubine, then I would like to ask you, which one here is the concubine and which one is the concubine.
Madam?"
"I guess this is Madam!" Tang Qingyun pointed at the two butterflies and said: "These two butterflies are so beautiful, and Madam is also a great beauty, so they match naturally. Peony... symbolizes integrity, which is the way to stay in the middle and run the house at home.
Yes, isn’t that Master? This peony butterfly is exactly what our family is in harmony with, don’t you think it is Sister Yuezhuang?”
"Sister, are you too naive? Then let me ask you, why are there two butterflies in the middle of the screen? According to me, one of the two butterflies is the husband and the other is the lady!
Peony is our home, and it is also the destination of these two butterflies? Tell me, isn't my explanation more reasonable than yours?" Xie Xue was also reluctant.
"You're wrong! Sister, I'm much smarter than you. It rained a few days ago and you didn't even take back the books you dried outside, so you got wet directly. I wouldn't do such a stupid thing!"
"How dare you say that? If you hadn't insisted on playing hide-and-seek with Fu'er, which caused Fu'er to fall down that day, and I had worked hard to take care of Fu'er for half a day, how could I have forgotten to collect the book? You didn't want to do this.
I'm sorry, so don't be so stubborn!"
"Okay, Sister Yuezhuang, Sister Guxia, haven't you seen the inscription here?" Kong Luhua smiled and persuaded the two of them. At this time, the two women discovered that there was a blank space on the left and right of the screen.
It is full of small characters. Although the characters are not big, the strokes of the brush strokes are smooth and continuous. They are also delicate and soft. Not only do they not conflict with the paintings, but they make the entire screen more charming. Tang Qingyun couldn't help but murmur when he looked at the handwriting on it.
He murmured: "A clump of peonies has hundreds of flowers, which are extremely beautiful and famous for their fragrance and spring love. The butterflies are as big as fans... The flowers are the number one flower in Luoyang, and the butterflies are Luofu fairy cocoon butterflies. Madam, let's put it this way, this Luoyang
The phrase "the first flower" is quite suitable for Madam."
"Yeah, so it's really a coincidence that you guys didn't guess correctly." Kong Luhua also joked to the two girls.
"This...it won't happen! I don't know who the poet is. If he is just a layman and wrote these many words at random, will Madam take it seriously? Madam, Sister Yuezhuang, I'll tell you the truth.
You said, I have been the best at guessing riddles since I was a child, and I will definitely not lose this time. If you think this poem is right, then you call the person who wrote the poem out? I confronted him face to face and told him that I
That's awesome!" Tang Qingyun said unconvinced.
Not wanting to hear this, Kong Luhua and Xie Xue also laughed.
"Sister, you have only been in our Ruan family for two years, and you may still not recognize some of the handwriting. Take a closer look, who wrote these words? If you want to confront him, then I ask you, how dare you
Do you want to confront this person?" Kong Luhua seemed to have given up the idea again and smiled mysteriously at Tang Qingyun. It seemed that at this point, the identity of this person was self-evident.
"This...ah!" Tang Qingyun thought for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but blush. Kong Luhua and Xie Xue saw her cute appearance and laughed from ear to ear. Suddenly, they heard footsteps outside, as if someone had arrived.
Xie Xue pulled Tang Qingyun and they went out of the back door together to play in the yard. Amidst the sound of footsteps, a figure that Kong Luhua was most familiar with gradually appeared in the room, it was Ruan Yuan.
"Madam, did you just... scare the two of them? How come they all ran out when they saw me coming?" Ruan Yuan also asked Kong Luhua.
"Isn't it because of you?" Kong Luhua also said angrily to Ruan Yuan: "The words you wrote are different from what we usually see. Just now, sister Gu Xia didn't recognize them and thought they were written by an outsider. You are such a person
Before she even came, the words scared her quite a bit, but I have to make amends to her."
"Madam, is this really so serious?" Ruan Yuan couldn't help but laugh: "When I entered the Imperial Academy, I changed my handwriting, so it's normal that Gu Xia couldn't read the words I wrote? Or should I say
, Madam, you scared Gu Xia and made her run out, right?"
"Well...hehe..." Kong Luhua couldn't help but cover her mouth, but her face was dyed pink by a blush inside, but she couldn't hide it from Ruan Yuan's eyes. She could only whisper: "Actually, we are guessing.
On this screen, what is the Master's own comparison, and what is it that the Master can regard as his wife? Master, you... your ideas are really eclectic."
"What's so difficult about this?" Ruan Yuan couldn't help but smile: "The peonies in this painting, even if they were painted by Jiang Zhongtang at that time, are slightly inferior in terms of magnificence, such nobility, in addition to his wife, there are also
Who deserves it? The name of 'Luoyang's No. 1 Flower', this flower, and my wife, are all well-deserved. As for me, it is naturally a blessing in my life to be able to fly around my wife like a butterfly."
"Hehe, Master is really..." Kong Luhua couldn't help but joked: "Master also has the phrase 'Luofu Immortal Cocoon Butterfly'. From this point of view, Master is also a person who thinks very highly of himself?"
"It's not that you think too highly of yourself, it's that it's a match." Ruan Yuandao said: "If it's not the Luofu fairy butterfly, what other colorful butterfly can be worthy of this Luoyang peony?"
"Oh, Master, you are really good at talking now. I don't even recognize you anymore." Although Kong Luhua said this, she was extremely happy in her heart, and asked again: "But I feel bad about your words. This butterfly
"It's not surprising that the flowers are properly arranged, Magu's skirt covers the glass leaves." I just think that this flower is a bit too delicate. This majestic peony will bloom when it is in full bloom, so why should it be so restrained? It's like Master's.
So, I am afraid that the peony will be damaged at all, but it is not in line with the way peonies grow."
"Really? But in my eyes, if this peony cannot be cared for more by the colorful butterflies, I'm afraid... it is in danger of withering?" Ruan Yuan said with a smile.
"You..." Kong Luhua thought for a while, and finally understood what Ruan Yuan meant, and said angrily: "Okay, do you think Madam is weak? But Madam doesn't know how strong Madam is? If so,
You have strong muscles and bones, why don't you show it to Madam? There are so many official things all day long. If one day, you... what do you ask me to do? Do you still have the heart to let me take care of An'er alone? "
"Madam, although I have a lot of official duties on weekdays, I always do what I can, and I don't do anything that hurts my blood, muscles, or bones. On the other hand, madam, if she can't take care of her body with peace of mind, and she is younger than me, you can't let me worry.
?" Ruan Yuan smiled and held Kong Luhua in his arms, admiring the screen paintings with her.
"I..." Kong Luhua wanted to retort, but when she was held in Ruan Yuan's arms, she felt an indescribable warmth in her heart. This screen was not only gorgeous, but also had a natural and quiet feeling. For a moment,
I felt infinitely at ease in my heart. I just thought that Ruan Yuan had a lot of official work on weekdays, and it was rare for him to have a spare day to enjoy the years with himself. So he simply leaned on Ruan Yuan and felt his warmth calmly.
I don’t know how long this situation lasted...
"Master." While Kong Luhua was at leisure, she did not forget Ruan Yuan's official business and asked, "Is there really nothing else going on at Chuan Hall today?"
"It is indeed gone today." Ruan Yuandao said: "General Li just sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that he was ready to let Hu Zhenjun go south to patrol the sea with the Fujian Navy, and by the way, he would also get back the reserved wood. At this time, Hu Zhenjun should still be preparing
Regarding the matter of going south, there is no need to rush. I have already informed Wenzhou of the subsequent news, and they will notify the Fuyuan at any time. Madam, don’t worry."
"That's good, Master. Although you usually have so many military and political affairs, don't be anxious. If you can take a rest like today, you may be more energetic in the future."
"Yes, but madam, why do you feel heavier when I hold you today than in the past few days?"
"You dare to laugh at Madam for being fat, don't you? Okay, don't leave today, just stay here and Madam will let you see how powerful Madam is!"
…
Such days of leisure can be said to be few and far between during Ruan Yuan's tenure as governor. And a series of changes that occurred after that left Ruan Yuan with no time to rest.
Note: Ruan Yuan's "Painting Screen with Peony and Giant Butterfly"
There are hundreds of peonies in a clump, with their exquisite fragrance and spring love. The butterflies are as big as fans, flying on the flower branches and stepping on the petals. One butterfly is yellow and broken into gold, lifts its beard and raises its eyebrows to sniff the heart of the flower. The other butterfly's emerald feathers are blue and green,
The horizontal shade of the flower is one foot long. The shade of the flower is five baht, and the clothes are lightly cut, and the bright red is soaked through the swallow branches. The fragrance of the sky teases the spring dawn, and the colorful goddess does not fly under the heavy pressure. The butterfly is not frightened, the flowers are in place, and Magu's skirt covers the glass leaves.
