Chapter 408: Again

Jingguo has a vast territory, and every five years of exams must be a place where some omissions are required. Fu Zhixing's trip north this time is also a kind of inspection; the prefect of Lego City only wants Fu Zhixing to see his political achievements, but he does not want Fu Zhixing to see his faults, but a playboy on the street ruined all this.

"Master Pei will also investigate secretly this time, right?" Yan Huo asked lying on Fu Zhixing.

"Is this here?" Fu Zhixing gently stroked her back. This time, unlike the time he went to Jiangcheng, he was just patrolling, not investigating the case. Of course, when he encountered a case, he still had to investigate it.

Fu Zhixing was a little busy next time, and Yan Huo was not idle either. He attended the flower viewing party held by the prefect's wife. When he came out of Beijing, he could not avoid the fate of flower viewing. Fortunately, she had a noble status and the highest grade. No one would force her to write a poem, draw a painting, embroider a flower, or something, and no one would say bad things to squeeze her over.

The prefect's wife smiled and said, "Thank you all for your appreciation and attending the flower viewing party I held." The prefect's youngest son was at the age of getting married, and the prefect held this banquet to choose a daughter-in-law.

The wife who came to the banquet said politely: "It is our honor for Mrs. Wen to invite us to the flower viewing party."

"It's getting late, so I'll tell you a long story. Next, I announce that the flower shop is about to begin. First, please ask the judges of this flower viewing meeting, Mrs. Anguo, to announce the rules of the flower viewing meeting for everyone." The prefect said with a smile.

Yan Huo stood up and walked to the prefect's wife, and smiled and said, "I am very honored to pass by the treasure land. I am invited by Mrs. Wen to serve as the judge of this flower viewing meeting. Now I will announce the rules of the flower viewing meeting for everyone." His eyes swept over the ladies, "The rules are very simple. The lady can volunteer to participate. In a quarter of an hour, she will make a poem or draw a painting. The poem does not limit the rhyme and the paintings do not limit the title. However, it is a flower viewing meeting, and the ladies are also asked to focus on flowers. Both the poems and paintings must be evaluated and selected the top three. Mrs. Wen has prepared prizes for everyone."

After saying that, Yan Hu nodded slightly to the prefect's wife and retreated to sit down. The prefect's wife continued, "Everyone knows the rules, the competition will officially begin, everyone can enjoy the game."

As soon as the words came, the girls under the pavilion steps looked for their companions and went to the garden in groups to enjoy the flowers and butterflies; the garden was planted with roses, red, pink, yellow, white, mixed colors, or silver edges. They were either budding or blooming with smiles, and the fragrance blew with the wind, refreshing the heart and lungs. Bees and butterflies flew around in the flowers, collecting honey and spreading pollen happily. The flowering period of roses is very long, and except for the cold winter, it blooms almost every month, so it has the name "Yueyuehong".

When the lady was busy writing poetry and painting, the prefect took the opportunity to chat with Yan Huo, "The prince's wife looks like she is not old. How many years have she been married? How many children do you have?" In fact, she knows all these things. She is not familiar with each other and has limited topics to talk about, not to mention that she is more than teenage than Yan Huo, and her children are about the same age as Yan Huo.

"I have been married for ten years, with four children, three sons and one daughter." Yan Huo said with a smile.

"Mrs. Prince is such a blessing." This is the Tongzhi wife who gave birth to four daughters in a row, but had no son, and could only adopt the concubine's son.

"I am quite lucky. When I was in my parents' home, my parents' family spoiled me, and after getting married, my in-laws spoiled me." Yan Huo didn't mind at all letting others know that she was living a happy life.

The magistrate's wife's eyes flashed slightly. The prince's wife was so simple. She asked with a smile: "I heard that the prince's wife is going to visit relatives in Kulun City this time?"

"Well, go see my parents, my second brother, second sister-in-law, nieces and nieces." Yan Huo said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, the ladies' poems were presented one after another. As the judge, Yan Huo naturally had to take over the poem and read it. He smiled and said, "The idea of ​​this poem is good, the theme is clear, and the whole poem revolves around the word "incense..."

Another comment was: "This poem uses very elegant lyrics, and it should have been carefully considered..."

"This poem uses several allusions, and the lady who writes the poem reads a lot of books..."

"This word is well written, small calligraphy with flowers on the hairpin..."

In each poem, Yan Huo picked out his advantages and praised it. Of course, they were all polite words. In fact, the poems written by these ladies are really average, but to be honest, they will offend people. Among the shorts, they chose Gao Zi, and Yan Huo and his wives agreed, and chose three poems and were selected as the top three.

After reviewing the poem and paintings, Yan Hu thought that two of them were not bad, one was a girl playing with butterflies, and the other was enjoying flowers by the water. "This painting is fresh and natural, with delicate writing, and is in tune with the scenery and interesting. This painting has water, bridges, pavilions, and flowers. It has reasonable layout, proper color, and movement and stillness complement each other. The two paintings have different styles. It is difficult to compare which one is better or which is inferior."

"The comments of the prince's wife are very fair." It was difficult for the prefect to choose between the two paintings.

After several people agreed, they decided to "be the first in painting."

At the end of the competition, the prefect gave the prepared prizes. Then everyone moved to the hall and had a banquet. Then in the afternoon, the opera singers sang local dialect. Although the prefect and the wife were not locals, they had been here for some time, and they even guessed it. Besides, they had heard it a few times and could barely understand it.

Yan Huo was confused. This was simply a talk between a chicken and a duck. Seeing this, the prefect explained it to her, "What he sang about is the matter in the Xisa tribe. The black-faced man was the rebellious chief Anda. He killed the king of the tribe. Prince Roland escaped and went into exile in the desert under the protection of his loyal ministers. He gradually grew up... and fell in love with Princess Eli at first sight, and made an appointment to reunite after a year."

"Ohh" Yan Huo looked at the actors on the stage and expressed his feelings there. Although he couldn't understand what they were singing, he could see their feelings. It sounded nice, so she just watched it as a pantomime.

The prefect continued to tell the story, "A year later, Prince Roland came as promised, but Princess Eli was snatched away by Anda. Prince Roland disguised herself in the palace to meet the princess. Anda used magic tricks... During the fortune telling, Princess Eli recognized the prince, and the prince took back the jade pendant, her eyes were brighter, and lovers were reunited."

"This story is great, a great reunion." Yan Huo smiled.

After the play was finished, Yan Huo was about to say goodbye and leave when the maid came in and said, "Madam, Prince Anguo is here to pick up the prince's wife."

The prefect's wife smiled and said, "The prince and his wife have a good relationship."

Others also joked: "Martial love is deep, and the couple is deep."

Yan Hu's pretty face was slightly red, and in everyone's envious eyes, the prefect sent it out. In the front hall, the prefect accompanied Fu Zhixing to drink tea. While talking, the prefect and Yan Hu came in. The prefect saw the young couple go away. The prefect did not rush in and sat next to the prefect, "Master, I have tried it. This prince's wife is simple and ignorant of the world."

The prefect stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay."
