Chapter 74 Rhododendron

Walking into the forest happily, Zhou Heng discovered that no wonder girls in ancient times didn't go out much. The main reason was that the clothes they wore were too inconvenient. Although she didn't wear any jewelry on her head, wearing a long skirt was still very inconvenient. Walking in the woods, it was inevitable that she would be here. Fortunately, Shen Fu was quite considerate. Seeing that she was having a hard time walking, he picked up a dry branch from the ground and kept walking in front of her to clear the way for her.

Zhou Heng followed him and happily enjoyed the flowers, picking a bunch and holding it in his hand.

Shen Fu looked back and said nothing, but after a while he looked back again. Zhou Heng felt a little strange: "Why, can't you pick this flower?"

"That's not true..." Shen Fu seemed hesitant to speak. After a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped and turned around to explain to her: "Although this azalea blooms in the mountains and fields, it also has some branches. The beauty of twists and turns, just take two branches back and put them in the vase."

What does it mean? Zhou Heng looked down at the large bunch of red azaleas he had picked. The flowers are flowers, the leaves are leaves, and the branches are short. If you are a person who came from the 21st century, you will definitely feel that they look familiar:

Isn't this a bridal bouquet? Or to be more precise, it's the kind of bouquet that is kept in a basin in a flower shop. A large bouquet of the same flowers will be tied together so densely.

Moreover, Zhou Heng also arranged it very carefully. There were flowers in the middle, surrounded by a circle of green leaves on the outside, and short flower branches below, which she tied tightly with a handkerchief.

Holding it in his hand and admiring it for a while, Zhou Heng even laughed: "I'm sorry, I have such poor taste. This is a common bouquet in our time. It's the kind sold in flower shops. It's just like the outside. It will also be wrapped with several layers of beautiful floral paper. If there is no floral paper, it can be used as flowers in the bride's hands for the wedding. Of course, there are generally fewer red bouquets and they are usually white."

After hearing this, Shen Fu immediately stood on the spot and turned around with a surprised look on his face: "You mean, in your place, the bride just holds such a bouquet of flowers to the groom? And it's also white. flower?"

"Yes, but it's not from our family. It's a custom passed down from other places. Later, everyone found it interesting and learned it." Zhou Heng didn't know how to explain Western weddings to him:

"People in that place believe that white symbolizes purity, so not to mention the flowers in their hands, the bride's skirt is also white, and the groom's clothes are usually black, but the bouquets are not all pure white flowers, there are also pink ones. To be honest, I have thought that when I get married in the future, I will get pink peonies, that would be so beautiful!"

The pink bouquet of peonies was tied together as tightly as the one she was holding in her hand now... Shen Fu thought about it, and it seemed that it was okay.

Zhou Heng, on the other hand, couldn't stop it, with a look of intoxication on his face: "Well, white gardenias are also fine, but I don't think you should cut off all the leaves of gardenias. Such a large handful of gardenias, It looks good and smells good, and then the pink peonies are paired with pink ribbons, and the gardenias are paired with green ribbons. Oh my, it feels so beautiful just thinking about it!"

Shen Fu didn't answer, but he couldn't help but imagine it, especially a handful of fragrant gardenias, paired with a pair of slender hands, even if they were dressed in white... Shen Fu felt a little fever on his face, somehow , white clothes always make people think of obscene clothes.

Stop it, you can't think about it any more!

Behind her, Zhou Heng was still unaware, still talking about the wedding she had been dreaming about for a long time: "Oh, let me tell you, my grandmother has even prepared a red envelope for my future husband. Isn't it the elders who have to give it to me when I get married?" Red envelopes for newlyweds? My grandma has been looking forward to the day when I get married and kowtow to her, so that she can hand out red envelopes to us at the wedding!"

Having said this, I couldn't help but feel depressed. First I sighed deeply, then lowered my head and turned the azaleas in my hand. Then I looked up at the cloudy sky, half facing Shen Fu, and half facing Shen Fu. He said as if talking to himself:

"Actually, why am I anxious to find someone to get married quickly? I don't know why I shouldn't be so impatient, but my grandmother had a bump on her head before. There was one bump at first, and then there were several more. Grandma complained that she had a headache, and I I took a picture of her, went to the hospital, um, the doctor asked her, and the doctor said it was skin cancer, which is an incurable skin disease..."

After talking about it, his voice gradually became lower. Zhou Heng felt that tears were about to come out. He quickly turned his head to look elsewhere, and used the bouquet of flowers in his hand to cover it and rubbed it on the handkerchief tied above, and then replied with a forced smile. He turned around and apologized to Shen Fu, who was standing silently: "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional. I've almost seen the flowers. Let's go back."

"Wait a minute," Shen Fu looked at it intently, then suddenly walked towards her, one hand about to reach out to her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Hengren stood still, holding the azalea bouquet in his hand at the same level as his face, looking straight at Shen Fu: "Is there something on my face?"

"No," Shen Fu replied, and when he saw Zhou Heng in front of him, he saw that half of her face was hidden behind the red azalea flowers, and her black and white almond eyes were still as bright as stars, looking at him with watery eyes. Trying to hold back the restlessness in his heart, he took a serious look at her face again, and then said sheepishly: "It was Shen who misunderstood just now. Maybe just now... the yellow powder on the girl's face was rubbed off by the flowers." Some."

Oops, it must have been the tears that stained the makeup just now. Zhou Heng was a little embarrassed and quickly lowered his head and replied: "Thank you very much. It seems that I will have to rely on this azalea to protect me when I get back."

When he lowered his head, he suddenly felt horrified: "Oh my god, please help me see what these things are on my skirt! Will they crawl up and bite me?" Even his words were a bit incoherent. stand up.

I was so frightened that I quickly stamped my feet and tried to shake off some small caterpillar-like things hanging on the hem of my skirt. I used to be most afraid of caterpillars, so scared that even seeing pictures of them would give me goosebumps.

So when he saw that there were so many earth-yellow things crawling on the skirt, and it seemed that he couldn't make them fall off by stamping his feet and shaking the hem of the skirt, Zhou Heng felt that he was going crazy, and even his voice was crying: "Shen Fu, Shen Please help me drive them away!"

Shen Fu felt a little funny at first when he saw Zhou Heng lowering his head and starting to stamp his feet and shake his skirt crazily. They were just decayed and yellow cockleburs. How could he be so scared?

When I heard her voice, I felt like I was about to cry, and even my name was called out directly, so I hurriedly felt the inexplicable warmth in my heart while squatting down to help her pick off the cockleburs stuck to her skirt one by one. When they fell off, they had to comfort them with gentle words: "It's okay, they're just cockleburs, not biting insects."

Even so, it was very difficult to remove the cocklebur sticks on the dress. It took some effort, but Shen Fu finally straightened up helplessly when Zhou Heng asked, "Are you sure it's gone? Can you take a look again?" Shen: "You're sure it's gone. If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself?"

The two were so close now that Shen Fu could even feel Zhou Heng exhaling a long breath of relief, so by some strange combination, Shen Fu heard himself asking: "What did you call me just now?"
