Time travel is risky, and love requires caution
Chapter 84 The flowers I waited for have all withered
Life suddenly became peaceful and regular. As expected, the days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was early summer in Nan Shen, and Ling Qiqi had been in Nan Shen for a year.
The vegetation in Nanmi is green all year round, but the flowers bloom most in early summer.
In a few days, Nan Shen will hold the annual Flower Fighting Festival. At that time, every household will place or hang a flower basket at the door of their house to see whose flower basket is the largest, with the most varieties of flowers and the most beautiful shapes. On the night of the festival, the government will put the most outstanding flower baskets in each street and alley on a carriage, and then form a flower team for a flower parade, and then everyone will vote for the best flower basket of the year. In addition, the folk customs of Nan Shen are open, and young men and women will go to the streets to look for their loved ones on the night of the Flower Fighting Festival. If they are attracted to each other, they will give each other a bouquet of flowers to express their love. Businesses of all sizes also take this opportunity to increase their sales and reputation. Whether they have a store or not, they will set up stalls on the street and open until late at night.
I heard that this year's flower-fighting competition will be very grand, and the government will set off fireworks that night, so the people are very much looking forward to it.
Many families had already placed flower baskets at their doorsteps a few days ago, watering and replacing them with fresh branches every day. Many vendors also set up their stalls early to grab the best spots. For a while, the streets and alleys were filled with the fragrance of flowers, the cries of hawkers were heard one after another, and the festive atmosphere was very strong.
Ling Qiqi, a newcomer, was very curious about this festival and decided to participate in it. She did not go to the clinic in front to help for the past few days, but instead devoted herself to arranging flower baskets in the backyard.
As a result, she was not satisfied after planting several. Just when she was about to give up, Pei Chufeng and A'ran came and brought her many kinds of flowers, which were beautiful and fresh.
Ling Qiqi highly praised their actions of adding icing on the cake. At the same time, she suddenly burst into inspiration and enthusiasm for flower arrangement. She and A'ran were busy for a whole afternoon. In the end, Ling Qiqi finally completed a flower arrangement that she was very satisfied with.
Pei Chufeng had been sipping tea while watching the two sisters arranging flowers while chatting and laughing. It was unclear whether they were appreciating the flowers or the people.
Ling Qiqi's flower arrangement is very unique. It is a three-dimensional giant rabbit squatting, almost one meter tall.
The production idea is not difficult, it is similar to making a snowman.
First, use several large bamboo baskets to form three balls, and then stack them vertically to fix them. Then use flowers to insert three large flower balls on the bamboo baskets. The two lower ones are the rabbit's body, and the upper one is the rabbit's head. Use suitable flowers to insert the eyes and nose on the rabbit's head.
Then make five small flower balls, install four in front of the body as four legs, and install one behind the body as a tail.
Finally, two long flower ears are inserted on the head. From a distance, it looks round and very cute.
In fact, Ling Qiqi feels that the two long ears are the key to the success of her work. No matter what shape it is, as long as there are two long ears, it will make people think of an inverted rabbit.
Ling Qiqi couldn't wait to move the big flower rabbit to the door of her own clinic and named it "Lucky Rabbit".
As soon as the "Lucky Rabbit" was launched, it caused a sensation and attracted a lot of people to watch. The entrance of Sanqi Medical Clinic was surrounded by three layers of people. The big flowered rabbit was deeply loved by women and children.
Many people wanted to imitate the "Fortune Rabbit" after returning home, but because the next day was a flower show, time was tight and it was not easy to find a large number of fresh flowers, so they were either too small or too rough, always giving people the feeling of imitating others. On the contrary, the "Fortune Rabbit" of Sanqi Medical Clinic was the orthodox one, and it was more magnificent and exquisite. How does the saying go? Always imitated, but never surpassed.
On the day of the flower show, after Sanqi Clinic had seen ten scheduled patients in the morning, Ling Qiqi closed the clinic to visitors.
Other clinics were still competing to sell their own mosquito repellent powders and sachets, but Ling Qiqi gave her family a holiday. She didn't care about making a little money, she just wanted to have a good time during the holiday.
Yesterday she had made an appointment with Pei Chufeng and A'ran to go shopping, appreciate flowers and watch fireworks together in the evening. She was so excited that she couldn't wait for the evening.
She originally wanted to ask Liu Nian'an to come along, but he was not willing to do so, saying that he would have to compensate the Liu family and the chief witch doctor, so she did not insist.
When it was almost dark, Pei Chufeng and A'ran finally arrived.
"You two still remember to come. The flowers I've been waiting for have all wilted." Ling Qiqi complained unhappily. She had been waiting since noon and was filled with rage.
Ah Ran ran to Ling Qiqi and coaxed her:
"You don't know, the flower fighting party is only lively at night. It's early for us to go out now. We still have time to go shopping after dinner."
"I don't want it. I can't eat it."
"Third brother has already booked a table at the largest teahouse in the Imperial Capital. Not only is the food there delicious, but the private room on the second floor also has a great view. You can see the entire street. At night, the street is full of lights and flowers. The scenery must be great."
"Are there any delicacies from land and sea?" Ling Qiqi asked proudly.
"Yes, Third Brother had people rush to bring us shrimps, crabs, fish and shellfish from the seaside. They are very fresh."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly and enjoy the fresh food." Ling Qiqi's anger disappeared instantly. She hadn't been to a restaurant for a long time. Her stomach had not recovered yet. Du Jingshan and Liu Shi didn't allow her to eat too much, so she had to have a good feast today.
Ah Ran laughed and said, "How can you still look like Princess Bei Kui now?"
"I'm tired of being a princess. I'm schemed against all the time, and then I have to figure out how not to be schemed against. It's better here. It's simple, free, and there are crabs to eat. Let's go quickly, don't let the crabs wait anxiously."
"Are you going to dress like this?" A'ran stopped Ling Qiqi who was about to go out.
"What's wrong with dressing like this?" Ling Qiqi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Do you still want to wear men's clothes? Today is the festival of the Southern Mirage girls. Girls will dress up as much as they can, for fear of being outdone by others. It's really inappropriate for you to do this." A'ran said.
Ling Qiqi took a look at A'ran's outfit today. It was indeed very flashy, with everything from head to toe. But she didn't want to attract attention.
"I think men's clothing is pretty good." Ling Qiqi turned around on the spot and then struck a bohemian pose.
"I think so too." Pei Chufeng agreed.
A'ran glanced at Pei Chufeng without saying anything, but secretly complained in her heart: He has no principles. He is just afraid that the Seventh Princess will be targeted by other men. Her third brother is becoming more and more useless.
Arriving at the teahouse, Ling Qiqi had no time to appreciate the street view, her eyes and hands were busy greeting the big crabs.
It’s so damn delicious. It must be because the sea here has not been polluted by nuclear waste water. The crab meat is very sweet and delicious.
She had already finished two crabs without noticing, and wanted to eat the third one but was stopped by Pei Chufeng:
"You've eaten too much tonight. This food is cold and your stomach can't take it." After saying that, he poured her a cup of ginger and basil tea, indicating that she should drink more to detoxify the shrimp and crabs.
Ling Qiqi didn't enjoy her meal and was very unhappy.
"Don't eat too much at once. If you get a stomachache later, you'll be the one suffering. If you like it, I'll have someone bring it to you more often in the future."
"It's a deal. I've been waiting for you to say this." Ling Qiqi said bluntly.
"Look, it's my second brother and the others." A'ran suddenly pointed to a place outside the window and said to them.
Ling Qiqi looked out the window and saw a group of people riding horses, walking towards this side from afar along the street. Wherever they went, passers-by consciously made way for them and stood by the roadside to bow respectfully.
A'ran ran to the window, stuck his head out, and waved vigorously at the person at the head of the team.
It was too late for Pei Chufeng to stop A'ran, so he turned to look at the Seventh Princess. The Seventh Princess looked normal, with no obvious concerns or disgust, and Pei Chufeng felt a little relieved.
