Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 58: The Accomplice of Heavenly Bullying

Hua Hongsu paused and continued:

"The spring rain is drizzling, the Grain Rain season is good, the cuckoos are calling, and the farmers are busy.

Cangjie invented Chinese characters, the Grain Rain fell from the sky, and spring slowly came.

Summer is approaching, the weather has warmed up, the air is humid, and the rainfall is abundant, which is very suitable for the sowing and growth of crops.

The industrious cuckoos are also flying around the fields, calling non-stop, reminding people to sow crops quickly.

The most important feature of Guyu is the continuous spring rain.

At this time of year, the newly planted rice seedlings in the fields only need rain to nourish them. During the Grain Rain season, the rainfall is sufficient and timely, so the grain crops can thrive.

Grain Rain, like Rain Water, Grain Full, Light Snow, Heavy Snow and other solar terms, is a solar term that reflects precipitation phenomena and is a reflection of the ancient farming culture on the festivals.

There are three signs of Grain Rain: The first sign is duckweed begins to grow. After Grain Rain, rainfall increases and duckweed begins to grow. The second sign is cuckoos fluttering their feathers. Cuckoos begin to remind people that it is time to sow seeds. The fields are filled with the sound of cuckoos, and every family is calling for planting seeds. The third sign is hoopoes landing on mulberry trees. Hoopoe, also known as cockscomb bird, lands on mulberry trees at this time, which means silkworms are about to be born.

Luo Ying continued to ask:

"What are the customs during Grain Rain?"

Hua Hongsu continued to answer:

"You mortals have five major customs during the Grain Rain solar term:

1. Eliminate the five poisons. The temperature rises around Grain Rain, and pests and diseases enter a high-growth period. To prevent pests from harming crops and people, people go to the fields to kill insects while posting "Grain Rain stickers" made of yellow paper that look like New Year pictures.

Second, the Sea Festival, as the saying goes, "Riding on the Grain Rain to go fishing". In order to go out to sea safely and return with a full load, fishermen hold a sea festival on the day of Grain Rain, praying for the blessing of the sea god. Therefore, the Grain Rain Festival is also called the "Zhuangxing Festival" by fishermen.

3. Picking Guyu tea. There is a folk saying that "Guyu, Guyu, pick tea for the rain". Guyu is the season for picking tea. Tea picked before Guyu is tender, fragrant and tastes the best, so it is a custom to taste new tea during Guyu. It is said that drinking tea during these days of Guyu can reduce internal heat, ward off evil spirits and improve eyesight.

4. Eat toon buds and coriander. "Before the rain, the toon buds are extremely tender, and after the rain, the toon buds grow into the wood." Around the Grain Rain is a good time to eat toon. In spring, the trees sprout and yang energy is generated. Eating the tender buds of plants can replenish the body's yang energy and enhance human immunity.

"The snow stops at Qingming, and the frost stops at Guyu." The spleen is in its active period during the 15 days before and after Guyu and the last 3 days of Qingming. Eating coriander in spring can dispel the coldness hidden in the body in the winter.

5. Appreciate peonies. Peonies are also called Guyu flowers. In Shandong, Henan, Sichuan and other places in your mortal world, there is a custom of appreciating peonies during the three days of Guyu, and peony fairs are held in various places.

Luo Ying asked again:

"What do the peonies say?"

Hua Hongsu heard this question.

Her face instantly turned aloof and she glanced at Luo Ying and said:

"Ouyang Xiu said that the only true flower in the world is the peony.

Peonies are born with an imperial aura. When they bloom, they are stunningly beautiful, elegant, dignified and graceful, stunning the world.

But people in the world only know about the peony's wealth, but do not understand her pride.

According to legend, the peony was exiled to Luoyang by Wu Zetian because she did not bloom in the cold winter.

She despises imperial power, is indifferent to honor, is proudly independent, noble and free. Peony is a symbol of power and status. "

Hearing her arrogant tone, Luo Ying muttered in his heart:

"This guy is really as difficult to deal with as Sister Zi Piao said. If I can't afford to deal with him, I can always avoid him, right?"

She said in a more suppressed voice:

"Thank you, Princess, for your careful explanation. I will take my leave now and go to organize the information!"

After saying that, he exited the hall.

The maid saw Luo Ying leave and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, this mortal woman looks somewhat similar to the Autumnal Equinox Flower Goddess. If we keep her, she might be a disaster!

What if...the Third Prince takes a fancy to her someday..."

When Hua Hongsu heard this, her heart trembled suddenly. She clenched her fists, her chest heaving violently, and the fire of jealousy burned in her eyes, as if to burn all rationality to ashes.

Said coldly:

"You are right... any threat must be eliminated... no minefields can be left behind..."

The maid leaned over and whispered something in her ear. Hua Hongsu's face instantly relaxed, a triumphant smile appeared in her eyes, and she said with satisfaction: "Okay... I'll do as you say..."

The maid was about to leave when Hua Hongsu suddenly called her back.

"Come back... You have to be clean and quick, don't let her see any flaws... After all, you are the guest of the Flower Goddess of Beginning of Spring... You still have to be careful..."

"I understand... Your Highness, please rest assured..."

The maid looked at Hua Hongsu understandingly.

The next morning, Luo Ying was sitting on a huge rock high up in the garden, sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, concentrating on practicing Qi, with the immortal book placed beside her.

Suddenly, two maids appeared beside her.

He said mockingly:

"Wanqi, look at that mortal woman. She is very different from our princess in both appearance and aura!"

Another said:

"Mu Ling, what are you saying? Can she compare with our princess?

One is the stars in the sky, and the other is the dust on the earth!"

When Luo Ying heard this, his brows furrowed.

I immediately remembered what Ding Zipiao said:

"Head, remember, whether you are a human or a god, it's the same, half pretend to be dumb, half pretend to be stupid. Some things are better to be understood in your heart, no need to say them out loud, some people are better to be seen through, no need to expose them, being confused may reduce some conflicts.

The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart, and the hardest thing to hide from is the human mouth.

No matter what you do, there will always be people who envy you, people who laugh at you, people who look down on you, and people who misunderstand you.

It’s okay…that’s life, just be yourself.”

Thinking that Luo Ying would ignore them, she didn't expect them to get even more aggressive and come to her. Mu Ling picked up her fairy book and said loudly:

"Wow... a mortal is actually practicing immortal arts!"

Wanqi added:

"Haha... even a mortal toad wants to go to heaven!"

Luo Ying slowly opened his eyes, calmly stretched out his hand, and said loudly:

"Give me back my book!"

Mu Ling smiled evilly:

"Oh... this little mortal creature is angry...

I won’t return it to you, what can you do? "

Wanqi snatched the book and said viciously:

"What nonsense are you talking to her!

Destroyed the book...

Let’s see what kind of long-term dream she can come up with…”
