Spring Forest Evening

Going happily into the forest, Zhou Heng discovered that it’s no wonder that ancient girls didn’t go out very often, mainly because it was too inconvenient to wear clothes. Although he didn’t wear any jewelry on his head, it was still inconvenient to wear a long skirt. Hooked it, rubbed it there, fortunately Shen Fu was a considerate person, seeing that she was struggling, he picked up a dry branch from the ground, and helped her clear the way like "cutting through thorns and thorns".

Zhou Heng followed behind him to admire the flowers happily, and picked a bouquet by the way and held it in his hand.

Shen Fu looked back and didn't say anything, but when he looked back after a while, Zhou Heng felt a little strange: "Why, can't this flower be picked?"

"It's not really..." Shen Fu was a little hesitant to speak. After a while, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, stopped and turned around to explain to her: "Although this rhododendron blooms in the mountains, there are quite a few flowering branches. The beauty of twists and turns, just take two branches back and put them in the bottle."

What's the meaning?Zhou Heng looked down at a large bunch of red rhododendrons he picked. The flowers are flowers, the leaves are leaves, and the branches are short. If you are a person from the 21st century, you will definitely find it familiar:

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

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

Holding it in his hand and admiring it, Zhou Heng laughed himself: "I'm sorry, my taste is too bad, this is a common bouquet in our era, it's the kind sold in flower shops, and it's just like outside. It will also be wrapped with several layers of beautiful flower paper, if there is no flower paper, it can be used as a flower for the bride to hold in her hand, and it will be used when she gets married. Of course, red bouquets are generally less, and they are usually white."

Hearing this, Shen Fu immediately stood in place and turned around with a look of surprise: "You mean, in your place, the bride holds such a bouquet of flowers to pay respects to the groom? And it's still white. flower?"

"That's right, but it's not 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 think 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 once thought that when I get married in the future, I will get pink peonies, that would be beautiful!"

A bunch of pink peony flowers, tied tightly together like the one she held in her hand now... Shen Fu thought about it, and it seemed to be okay.

Zhou Heng, on the other hand, was unstoppable, with an imaginative and intoxicated look 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 bunch of gardenias, It looks good and smells good, and the pink peonies are matched with pink ribbons, and the gardenias are green ribbons, oops, just thinking about it makes me feel so beautiful!"

Shen Fu didn't answer, but he couldn't help imagining it, especially a handful of fragrant gardenias, paired with a pair of slender hands, even if he was dressed in white... Shen Fu felt a little hot on his face, for some reason , White clothes are always reminiscent of obscene clothes.

Stop it, don't think about it any more!

Zhou Heng in the back didn't realize it, and was still talking about the wedding she had imagined for a long time: "Oh, let me tell you, my grandma even prepared a red envelope for my future husband. Newlyweds red envelopes, my grandma is looking forward to the day I get married and kowtow to her, and she can hand us a red envelope at the wedding!"

Speaking of this, I couldn't help feeling depressed. First, I sighed deeply, then I lowered my head and turned the azalea in my hand, and then I looked up at the cloudy sky, half facing Shen Fu, half facing Shen Fu. As if talking to himself, he said:

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

After talking, his voice gradually became low. Zhou Heng felt that his tears were about to come out, so he quickly turned his head to look elsewhere, and rubbed against the handkerchief tied on it under the cover of the bouquet of flowers in his hand, before returning with a forced smile. He turned his head and apologized to Shen Fu who stood silently: "I'm sorry, I'm too emotional, and the flowers are almost finished, let's go back."

"Wait a minute," Shen Fu looked intently, and suddenly walked towards her, with a hand that was about to reach her face.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Hengren stood still, the rhododendron bouquet in his hand was flush with his face, and he stared blankly at Shen Fu: "Is there something on my face?"

"No," Shen Fu replied, seeing Zhou Heng in front of him, seeing that half of her face was hidden behind the bright red rhododendron flowers, and her black and white almond eyes were still bright as stars and watery looking at him, and then Trying to hold back the restlessness in my heart, I looked at her face seriously again, and then said embarrassedly: "It was Shen who misread it just now, maybe just now... the yellow powder on the girl's face was rubbed off by flowers Some."

Oh, it must have been tears that ruined the makeup just now. Zhou Heng was a little embarrassed, and quickly replied while bowing his head: "Thank you, it seems that I will have to rely on this rhododendron to block me when I go back."

He bowed his head, but his hair stood on end: "Oh my god, on my skirt... Please help me to see, what are these things! Will they climb up, will they bite me!" Even the words were incoherent stand up.

I was so frightened that I hurriedly stomped my feet trying to shake off some small caterpillar-like things hanging on the skirt. I used to be most afraid of caterpillars, so afraid that I would get goose bumps even when I saw their pictures.

So when he saw that there were so many khaki things crawling on the skirt, and it seemed that he could not make them fall by stomping and shaking the skirt, Zhou Heng felt that he was going crazy, and even his voice was a little crying: "Shen Fu, Shen Fu!" Quickly, help me drive them away!"

Shen Fu felt a little funny when he saw Zhou Heng lowered his head and began to frantically stamp his feet and shake his skirt at first, but it was just decayed and yellow cocklebur, how could he be so frightened.

When I heard her voice, I felt like I was about to cry, and even my own name was called out, so I quickly squatted down to help her pick off the cocklebur sticking to the skirt one by one while feeling an inexplicable warmth in my heart. At the same time, he had to comfort him with gentle words: "It's okay, it's just some cockleburs, not some little bugs that bite people."

Even so, cocklebur sticking to the dress is also very difficult to remove. It took some effort, and finally Shen Fu finally straightened up helplessly under Zhou Heng's questioning: "Are you sure it's gone? Can you take a look again?" "Are you sure it's gone, if you don't believe me, take a look for yourself?"

The two are so close now that Shen Fu could even feel Zhou Heng let out a long breath of relief, so Shen Fu heard himself asking, "What did you call me just now?"
