Chapter 197 Marshal Luo's Concern
Luo Ying asked curiously: "Is there any interesting legend about Minor Heat?"
Xiao Qingxiu said happily, "Yes! The day before and after the Lesser Heat is the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. Every household will invite married girls back to their parents' home, treat them well and then send them back.
This custom is said to be related to Hu Yan in the Spring and Autumn Period. Hu Yan was one of the people who followed the exile of Jin Prince Chong'er. After Chong'er became the king of Jin, he reused Hu Yan. Hu Yan governed Jin very well and people respected him very much.
Every June 6th, when Hu Yan celebrated his birthday, many people would come to him to pay their respects and give him gifts. Hu Yan gradually became proud. Hu Yan's daughter married Zhao Shuai's son. Zhao Shuai was disgusted by Hu Yan's arrogance and tried to persuade him. But Hu Yan did not listen to the advice and scolded Zhao Shuai in public for being old and weak. He died in anger. Zhao Shuai's son hated his father-in-law for being unjust and was determined to avenge his father.
The next year, Hu Yan left the capital for something, and before leaving, he said that he would come back on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month to celebrate his birthday. Zhao Shuai's son decided to kill Hu Yan on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month to avenge his father, and he told his wife about his plan. Hu Yan's daughter hated her father's arrogance, but she couldn't stand by and watch him die, so she ran back to her parents' home on the fifth day of the sixth lunar month and told her mother about her husband's plan.
Hu Yan's wife was shocked and hurriedly sent a letter to Hu Yan overnight. When Zhao Shuai's son saw his wife running away, he knew that the matter was exposed, so he waited for Hu Yan to come and deal with him. Early in the morning of the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, Hu Yan personally went to his in-laws' house and took his son-in-law back to his own house. At the birthday banquet, Hu Yan said, "This year, in addition to providing disaster relief and distributing grain, I have personally seen the suffering of the people. I know that I have made mistakes in recent years. I hope that you will not bear grudges and reconcile with my daughter."
From then on, Hu Yan sincerely changed his ways, and the relationship between Weng and Xu became closer than before. In order to remember the lesson, Hu Yan and Hu Yan would invite their daughter and son-in-law back home for a reunion on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month every year. When this matter spread, the common people followed suit and also took their daughters and sons-in-law home on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month to relieve their sorrows and grievances, avoid disasters and difficulties, and over time, the custom of Aunt's Day was formed.
Luo Ying said happily: "There is actually an Aunt's Day! How interesting!"
Suddenly she remembered that she and Feng Yequn broke the taboo in the illusion. Hua Yuchen asked her sharply about Feng Yequn's whereabouts yesterday. She felt as if her heart was crushed by a huge rock and she couldn't breathe. This incident will always be a big bomb in her relationship with Hua Yuchen. She didn't know how Hua Yuchen would react after knowing it.
Thinking of this, she murmured sadly, "Is it really true that in the story, people who have made a big mistake can be forgiven, not held a grudge, and reconcile with each other?"
When Shao Hanyue heard her words, she asked in surprise: "Sister, what are you mumbling about?"
Luo Ying suddenly covered up nervously and said: "Nothing..."
She then asked, "Qingxiu, aren't you also the god of hydrangeas? What is the legend of hydrangeas?"
Xiao Qingxiu smiled and said: "The flower language of hydrangea is loyal love! It represents hope and perfection!"
Suddenly, Luo Ying felt as if she was struck by lightning. In an instant, her eyes were filled with tears. She trembled and repeated, "Loyal... love!"
There seemed to be a voice in her heart scolding her: "Hua Yuchen loves you so much, but you betrayed him! You don't deserve loyal love. You destroyed all the hope and happiness in your love. You are a traitor in love! You destroyed the purest and true love between you with your own hands."
Thinking of this, Luo Ying turned her head and tried hard to restrain the tears in her eyes and the emotions that were about to get out of control.
At this time, He Sumei walked in and asked curiously: "Why is it so lively today! Marshal Luo is here too!"
Xiao Qingxiu quickly asked her to sit down and said, "Ying Shuai is talking to us about the Lesser Heat solar term. Aren't you the Greater Heat solar term and the Lotus God? Tell Ying Shuai about your solar term, too."
He Sumei said happily: "Okay!"
She sat down and glanced at Luo Ying's red eyes. She wanted to ask but didn't dare to. She asked cautiously, "Marshal Luo, did you remember anything sad?"
Luo Ying was shocked and said quickly: "Nothing, nothing...just keep talking."
He Sumei looked at her meaningfully and began her explanation: "The Great Heat solar term is between July 7nd and 22th every year. It is the hottest day of the year and the last solar term of summer.
The Great Heat is the 12th solar term of the solar terms. The arrival of the Great Heat represents the halfway point of the year. The Great Heat falls around the middle of the dog days, when the sun is the strongest and the hottest in the year. Although the Great Heat is very hot, the ancients hoped that it would be as hot as possible, because if there is no sweat during the Great Heat, the harvest will be halved, which means that high temperatures can bring good harvests despite being very hot.
Therefore, the Great Heat is very special to the Chinese. It is not just a solar term, but represents the hardworking and optimistic character of the Chinese. There is a poem that can particularly represent the quality of the Chinese. After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of other seasons. The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are particularly red in the sun. During the Great Heat, under the scorching sun, the lotus flowers still grow stubbornly, standing upright and gorgeous, and are particularly pretty, which symbolizes a kind of backbone and persistence.
We are not afraid of the heat or pain, because we firmly believe that as long as we work hard and cultivate diligently, we will surely get a rich harvest in the golden autumn. This is true for growing crops, and it is also true for studying and working. Sweat will always pay off, and God will reward love. "
Luo Ying asked curiously: "What is the language of the lotus?"
He Sumei smiled at Luo Ying and said, "The flower language of lotus is: innocence, steadfastness, purity, loyal love and faith."
Luo Ying felt as if thousands of swords were piercing his heart. His face changed drastically, and he repeated unconsciously with a sob: "Innocence... chastity... purity... loyal love and faith."
Her inner faith collapsed in an instant. In order to save Feng Yequn, she was no longer the simple Luo Ying. She felt guilty towards Hua Yuchen.
Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down unconsciously. Xiao Qingxiu and the other two were stunned when they saw her expression, not knowing what to ask her.
At this time, Hua Yuchen walked in, pulled Luo Ying over, and asked the three of them, "What were you three talking about with my wife? Why did you make her cry?"
Hua Yuchen's sudden appearance made Luo Ying at a loss. She looked at Hua Yuchen in horror and quickly turned to the side. Hua Yuchen looked at Luo Ying's panicked expression and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
Shao Hanyue saw the fear in Luo Ying's eyes and hurried to smooth things over for her, saying, "We were just talking about a legend about Xiaoshu and a bad guy in it. Sister probably remembered her past experiences again!"
Hua Yuchen hurriedly hugged her tightly and said softly to comfort her: "Are you thinking about her past experiences again?"
Hua Yuchen hurriedly hugged her tightly and comforted her softly, "Are you thinking about the time when Wanqi harmed you? Don't be afraid! It's all in the past! I won't let you get hurt like that again!"
After saying that, Hua Yuchen turned around and said to them, "Okay, I've loaned my wife to you for such a long time, I'm going to take her back."
Hua Yuchen kissed Luo Ying's forehead tenderly and said, "I have prepared a surprise for you! Go and have a look!"
After saying that, she hooked Luo Ying's hand around her neck, picked her up like a princess, and walked out of Xiao Qingxiu and the others' tent, leaving the three girls standing there in a daze.
