Lu Zhishan thought so, and he did so, so when they arrived at Xiahe Village, when the two of them got off the carriage one after another, Lu Zhishan was filled with the feeling of being full from head to toe, while Mu Nan was full of food. Zhi was so embarrassed that his head almost dropped to the ground.
She complained over and over in her heart that Lu Zhishan was a complete scoundrel and would eat her up whenever he got the chance. She really didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but she couldn't help but reach out and grab him. The man's sleeves, and then looked at the man's big hand holding her hand, she couldn't help but smile again, her cousin's hand was so warm.
Mu Nanzhi followed Lu Zhishan as she walked along the street and looked around. She felt that her eyes were almost exhausted: "Cousin, the river lanterns in Xiahe Village are really different from the river lanterns in the capital. There are so many here. I don’t even recognize the flower. Look, cousin! What kind of flower is that?”
Lu Zhishan looked over and replied, "That's kapok."
"Oh, that's kapok," Mu Nanzhi suddenly realized, but frowned and said, "Why is the kapok embroidered on my clothes different from this one?"
"Kapok only grows in the south. How can any of the embroiderers in the needlework bureau have actually seen kapok? Even if there are embroidery samples, I'm afraid they are not good at painting. Over time, they will naturally become more and more out of shape." Lu Zhi Mountain road.
"That's right," Mu Nanzhi nodded in agreement, but suddenly pointed to a floating river lantern in the river and asked a little excitedly, "Cousin, look, what kind of flower is that? Why do I never see it?" Never seen it? It’s so beautiful.”
Lu Zhishan looked at her direction and said, "That's Qionghua."
Mu Nanzhi was startled, looked at it a few more times, then turned around and asked Lu Zhishan, "Is that Qionghua? The flower of everlasting love that only grows in Yangzhou?"
"Yes, it is the Qionghua that only grows in Yangzhou," Lu Zhishan held Mu Nanzhi's hand and whispered word by word, "Qionghua is rare. Only a few grew in Yangzhou back then, and the locals were very rare to see Qionghua. Flowers, so Qionghua Temple was built on the spot. Later, Ouyang Xiu saw Wushuang Pavilion next to it. From then on, Qionghua has a reputation as unparalleled in the world. "
"I also know this. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty went to Yangzhou to see Qionghua, so he mobilized people to build the Grand Canal. This shows the beauty of Qionghua," Mu Nanzhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and hurriedly urged Lu Zhi Sandao said, "Cousin, please continue, why is Qionghua the flower of everlasting love?"
Lu Zhishan continued: "Later, Song Renzong heard that the beauty of the Qionghua was unparalleled in the world, so he ordered people to transplant the Qionghua from the Wushuang Pavilion in Yangzhou to Kaifeng. However, after the Qionghua entered Kaifeng, it gradually began to wither. Song Renzong Helpless, he had to order people to send the Qionghua back to Yangzhou, and the Qionghua was able to survive. Later, during the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, the Qionghua was transplanted to the Imperial Palace Garden in Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, the Qionghua withered over the years, and soon after After that, the withered Qionghua was returned to Yangzhou. Who would have thought that the Qionghua would revive again? From then on, everyone in the world called Qionghua the most affectionate and longest-lasting flower."
"Oh, that's it. I didn't know there were such noble flowers in the world." Mu Nanzhi looked at the pure white Qionghua pattern on the river lantern. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. She raised her head and looked at Lu Zhi Shan, "Cousin, let's go to Yangzhou to see Qionghua in the future, okay?"
"Okay." Lu Zhishan held the child's hand tighter.
