The Forensic Doctor's Daughter-in-law

Chapter 68 The first sight of the lotus, it turned out to be a good thing (7)
From the moment he got on the carriage, Dou Zihan has been observing Miss Cui Si, isn't he just going to attend the lotus festival?It's not about going to the execution ground. Why does this cousin seem to be preoccupied? Could it be that there is this cousin's sweetheart at the lotus meeting?
By the way, she seems to have heard in the past few days that the Cui family has a marriage agreement with the Nanping Houfu, and that the seventh son of the Nanpinghoufu is not a cheap lamp. Could it be that this cousin is worrying about this marriage?
"Girl, Cousin asked you just now, saying that this is not the first time you have participated in the lotus festival, can you tell her something about the lotus festival?" Miss Cui Si's personal servant girl heard this, and then she asked her master reminded.

"Yes, Zihan is participating in this lotus meeting for the first time, and I feel a little nervous. I want to hear from my cousin about the lotus meeting." Dou Zihan repeated.

"Oh, this, then cousin will tell you what I know." Miss Cui Si regained her composure, she understood immediately, so she just said, this wild girl went to such an occasion for the first time, how could she not Stage fright, but he cheered up and told Dou Zihan about it. As he talked, the atmosphere in this carriage was much more lively than before.

The lotus festival in the capital was not held by any river or lake, but in the most famous royal garden in the capital...the Lingering Garden.

Lingering Garden, as the name suggests, means to linger and forget to return.

This garden was the other courtyard of a certain prince in the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Later, because the prince was involved in a rebellion, his family property was confiscated, and this garden was confiscated.

Of course, this is not the main reason for the large-scale blind date meeting in this garden, but it is said that the first emperor and the then empress met in this garden. In order to commemorate their first meeting, the then empress came forward. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom in summer, a large lotus festival is held.

The area of ​​the Lingering Garden is actually not large, but the scenery is very good. In addition to the large garden, there are exquisite and deep corridors and unique rockeries in the garden, but the most wonderful scenery is the lotus in the lake. Slim and clean, beautiful but not demonic.

Although the lake in the Lingering Garden is an artificial lake, but because it is connected to the spring water in the back mountain, the water in the lake is not stagnant water, but flowing. Perhaps it is because of the continuous replenishment of living water, the lotus in the Lingering Garden is Nowhere else in the capital can compare.

Starting from the last queen, every year the lotus festival will be attended by the queens of the current dynasty, but in this generation, the current emperor of the Eastern Tang Kingdom has not established a queen, and the annual lotus festival has become held in turn by the major aristocratic families and palaces in the capital. hosted.

This year's lotus festival was held at the Linjun Prince's Mansion. All the staff were transferred from the Linjun Prince's Mansion. The Linjun King is the uncle of the current emperor. He is over 50 years old this year. Chaoshi, on the contrary, likes elegant affairs everywhere, especially for the lotus festival, and has fought for it several times, and it is their turn again this year.

Although the Linjun King has no real power, the prince has no ambitions and is honestly his uncle. Therefore, the emperor still treats this uncle very kindly.

In addition, according to the seniority of the royal family, the seniority of Linjun Wangfu is also very high. Of course, these are not important to the men and women participating in the lotus meeting.

The carriage was walking and stopped suddenly.

"Why did you stop, but you arrived at the place?" Miss Cui asked the servants who were driving outside. Here, regarding driving, it is not like what is seen in TV dramas in later generations. The driver sits in front of the carriage, but the driver. The man walked beside the carriage, leading the rein and walking with the horse.Therefore, the speed of the carriage is not fast, and it is on the street.

"Going back to Miss Si, the carriages in front stopped, as if the road ahead was blocked."

"Send someone to see why the road is blocked."

Frankly speaking, whether it is a traffic jam in modern times or a traffic jam in ancient times, any traffic jam is not pleasant.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage started to start again.

Later, Dou Zihan found out that the reason for the traffic jam was the bet between the young grandson of Linjun King and the third son of the British government. The two stood in front of the Lingering Garden to make a bet. Numbers, bet on whether the carriage with the three numbers is male or female, if you guess wrong, you will naturally be punished.

Because the door that male guests and female guests enter is not the same door, male guests and female guests are actually easy to identify.

The Lingering Garden was approaching, and Miss Cui Si felt a little restless again, and she lost much interest in the conversation just now.

The carriage has moved away from the street and is driving towards an official road. The location of Lingering Garden is actually in the suburbs of Beijing. There is no noise outside the carriage. It seems that the carriages behind and behind their carriage belong to other mansions. People also said hello.

After another quarter of an hour, we finally arrived at our destination, Lingering Garden.

After the carriage enters the gate of the Lingering Garden, male and female guests enter through different gates, and only after entering the gate can they get out of the carriage. Although Dou Zihan really wants to see the scenery of the gate of the Lingering Garden, but thinking about it, it will be regarded as unruly , I held back that thought at the moment.

When they arrived at the place where the carriage was specially parked, Dou Zihan and Miss Cui got off the carriage together, and the maids they brought were also blocked here. Naturally, they were entertained by people from the palace. This was naturally for the safety of the lotus society. At the lotus meeting, the two maids next to a certain lady at that time turned out to be assassins. In a good lotus meeting, blood was splashed on the spot by five or six ladies from all over the world. People are all left here and are not allowed to enter other places in Lingering Garden.

Miss Cui Si is the best at acting in front of outsiders. At this moment, she is holding Dou Zihan's hand...and moving forward hand in hand.

The distance between the two gates is not far, but after entering the gate, there are two avenues. The two avenues are separated by the Yingying lake. Not only lotus flowers are planted in the lake, but also artificial hills are piled up. A barrier separated the sight of men and women from looking at each other.

However, there are always some gaps in the rockery, and the male guests over there will inevitably stand there for a while, to see if they can wait for a girl to pass by.

Walk a few steps forward, and you will arrive at a small garden gate. This garden gate is specially set up for the female relatives, and the construction is also very delicate. The courtyard walls next to it are all hollowed out and have grids. To the beautiful scenery inside and the girls who had entered the garden before.

Where the garden gate is located, there is no rockery as a barrier, only the lotus bushes that can't stop it. There are a few young gentlemen standing outside the garden gate over there, looking at this side with malicious eyes. Come.
