Chapter 24 Love Flower Meeting
It was not until the red sun slanted to the west that the ceremonial officer came back with a tired face and reported: "In the end, it is still difficult for you to reach an agreement. It is decided to send a fast horse to report to the king, which can be sent back to the oracle in two or three days."
He Ran snorted coldly and said, "Your adults are really wise. After a day of discussion, I thought of sending someone to ask for an oracle. If I know this, I will send someone to chase them immediately. I'm afraid I'll be back early now."
The ceremonial officer grinned and said, "You didn't expect to argue for so long. Everyone didn't give in to each other. They just wanted to convince each other. Alas, it turned out to be delayed for most of the day in vain."
He Ran paced back and forth with a cold face. Just as he was about to send him away, the ceremonial officer smiled and said, "Since the military teacher is interested in love flowers, it's better to go to the love flower party in the next two days. The love flower party outside Dingyang City is the most lively. If the military division follows the king to participate in other places, it is far worse than here. "
He Ran showed a strange look on his face and thought for a thought, "Okay."
Si Liguan had a little complacency in his heart and smiled secretly. Even if you, the Yi Guojun, are unparalleled in wit, you are bound by yourself this time. You can't shive it, can you? I, the counselors of the State of Zhao, can't get along with you?
Although it is only a small victory, the opponent is He Ran after all, which makes the ceremonial officer feel very happy.
The next day, the ceremonial officer invited him to go on a trip and presented him with a set of exquisitely made scribes' clothes.
Seeing He Ran slightly stunned, he smiled and said, "I don't know if the military division has carried a casual suit, so I have prepared a set. Although the military division is a guest, it is better to participate in this kind of love flower party. It may be inconvenient to wear official clothes. In addition, this is also for the safety of the military division."
He Ran turned his mind and said, "It's hard for you to think about it. I have casual clothes here. It's better to wear it. Get used to it." What he thought was that since he still wore his own for safety reasons, he had to think about the worst at this moment. If they really wanted to hurt themselves, this suit would probably be an obvious mark, and the assassin could hit him with just recognizing the clothes. As for the change of casual clothes, he only heard a little about the Love Flower Festival. He knew that this was a day for young men and women to express their love. It was handed down from ancient times. It seemed that except for Xiping and Fanbang, there was this festival in all countries. He didn't know the specific things. Since the ceremonial officer mentioned that wearing casual clothes was to follow the local customs, they had Change into casual clothes, which must be the custom here.
In ancient times, the population was sparsely populated, so the rulers always encouraged childbirth. This love flower festival was also born because of this, so that young men and women can find suitable partners. In fact, Xiping and Fanbang also have similar festivals, and they are twice a year, one in early spring and the other in late autumn, but it is not called the Love Flower Festival. He Ran has not been here for a short time. He knows many customs and festivals, but he doesn't know much about this love flower festival. Naturally, he didn't have this interest when he was exiled from all sides before. Yi Guo and Zhao Guo are the same, and folk customs are the same. However, Yi Guo has been in years of war, and this love flower festival has been silent, so that He Ran is not Knowing that Yi Guo has this festival, let alone participate in it.
After changing into casual clothes, the ceremonial officer took out a beautiful red silk flower to put on his bun. He Ran just thought that he wanted to dress himself up and waved his hand with a smile, "You don't need this."
The ceremonial officer was stunned for a moment, and then smiled at him and pinned the silk flower to his head.
Dingyang's love flower meeting is agreed to be held in the suburbs of Sanli west of the city. Today is the first day of the Love Flower Festival. This side of the West City has long been very lively. Out of the city, there are many carriages and horses all the way, and pedestrians are in the flow. Most of them are young men and women. The teenagers are energetic, and there are many other places in different costumes or literary or martial arts clothes. The girls can see from their eyebrows that they have been carefully dressed up, and the costumes are more colorful, or colorful or elegant and pleasant, which makes them overwhelmed.
When I got to the place, He Ran got out of the car and looked around. The choice here was really good. There was a wide grassland in the east, a hill in the south, and a woodland in the east. The scenery was very beautiful. This love flower will be frank. At first, it was an unrestrained gathering of young people. Later, the vendors found business opportunities and came here to do business at the festival. For this originally affectionate love flower, it would add a lot of noisy atmosphere, causing many married people to come to join in the fun, but at dusk, it was all here. Young men and women, vendors and others must leave.
He Ran climbed high and looked at it. He saw that there were people in twos and threes within a few miles. Only the center of the venue was very crowded and lively, and most of the vendors gathered here. He walked there step by step. At this time, Hong Li and other guards were extremely nervous. They had also changed their casual clothes. At this moment, they were not far away and scattered around the military division, and they couldn't help looking at the people in the past.
He Ran noticed that there was indeed no one in official uniform here. It seems that the custom is indeed like this. Looking around, although his face was full of joy, from time to time, there would be a few imperceptible melancholy, and the suffians accompanying him could detect it as long as they paid a little attention.
Not far away, she suddenly noticed that the two girls were not far away, couldn't help but looked at him, and kept whispering and laughing. The ceremonial officer also noticed it and said to him with a smile, "The military division is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. I'm afraid it's a happy event."
He Ran asked with a smile, "What's the happy event?"
The ceremonial officer was about to answer. Seeing that one of the girls had come over, he signaled with his eyes and stepped aside with a smile. Hong Yan and Zhong Yu came over alertly and stood on both sides of He Ran, but both of them were full of smiles on their faces.
The girl walked to He Ran, her little face had turned red, and her big watery eyes looked at him carefully with shame. She stretched out her hands and handed over a beautifully folded water-red silk flower. I don't know whether it was because she was nervous or shy, and her breasts fluctuated violently.
Even if He Ran didn't know much about the rules of the love flower party, it can be seen that this scene was roughly clear that the girl was sending flowers to express her love. He hesitated in his heart and didn't know how to refuse. He thought of saying to the ceremonial officer before that he used to go to the love flower party. If the rejection method was wrong, wouldn't it be timid? But what should I do if I pick up this silk flower? I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen again. Just ask in advance.
The girl didn't want to refuse when she saw him with a smile on her face, but she didn't pick up the flower. Her little face turned even more red. She looked at him with shame and resentment. He Ran just made up her mind. Anyway, it was better than standing so awkwardly. Before he could do it, another girl had run over from the previous girl's hand. He snatched the silk flower and said, "It's so stupid!" Then he skillfully pinned the silk flower to He Ran's skirt, and then pulled the girl with a red face and ran away with a giggle. The two of them looked back as they ran.
He Ran was secretly relieved. It turned out that he didn't need to do anything after taking over the silk flower. He quickly smiled and waved to the two girls who looked back. The ceremonial officer came over at this time and said with a smile, "This is what the official said."
He Ran smiled vaguely and didn't dare to ask anything more. He took off the silk flowers on his skirt and looked at them. He stuffed them into his sleeves. Hong Li and others looked at each other and smiled. Naturally, they were familiar with the rules of the Love Flower Association. They didn't know what the military division was doing, but the military division's behavior was often unexpected, and the seemingly nonsense was often It has a deep meaning, especially at this moment in the State of Zhao. The military division must have the intention to do so, so although they are curious, it is inconvenient for officials of the State of Zhao to come forward to inquire.
