Hybrid Spiritual Plant Cultivation

Chapter 193 New Year (Part )

Agricultural Promotion Institute.

"What are you doing?"

When Yan Lingxi came out of the house, he saw a group of people making a lot of noise.

They walked around holding red paper and bamboo sticks, with smiles on their faces.

She lives alone in a yard, and apart from working, she doesn't go out for a stroll.

After half a year, she had no one to talk to except Wei Ning. She didn't like to go to the Grand Minister of Agriculture because he always asked her to calm down. She couldn't calm down and kept asking the Grand Minister of Agriculture when she could ascend the throne.

"It would be nice if Wei Ning was here. I can ask what's going on..."

"Sister Lin Xi!"

Just as she thought of Wei Ning, Wei Ning's round face appeared at the door, smiling and waving at her.

Yan Lingxi blinked and asked, "Wei Ning, what happened outside?"

“It’s the Spring Festival!”

"Spring Festival?"

Yan Lingxi became more and more confused. What's wrong with the Spring Festival? It wasn't the first time to celebrate it.

"Sister Lin Xi is too withdrawn. Maybe she doesn't know that Mr. Chen said he wants to hold a big Spring Festival. Then the whole Agricultural Promotion Institute will be busy. Come on."

Wei Ning came in with a lot of bags.

"Don't mess up my yard..."

"I'll help you clean!"

Wei Ning ignored Lin Xi's complaints.

She always felt that Lin Xi was a very good person, just a little bit lonely.

As for being cold towards people.

Think about it, he has lived alone with his grandfather in the mountains for so long. What's wrong with being autistic? He's just a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart, and a sharp tongue but a soft heart!
The veins on Yan Lingxi's forehead were throbbing as the outgoing Wei Ning pulled her to sit on a stone pier.

'What a disgrace', 'untouchables', 'lawless', 'insolent'

The contact between her noble buttocks and the rough stone almost drove her crazy.

Countless scoldings came out of my heart.

But I could only keep it in my mouth and force myself to suppress it.

She told herself again and again.

Now I am no longer a princess of the Divine Dynasty, but just a farmer in the Agricultural Promotion Institute.

She had to be patient until she made the Agricultural Promotion Institute her own.

Take a deep breath.

"When I succeed, I will come back to ask you for your crime!"

Yan Lingxi, forbearance!

Wei Ning was completely unaware and said, "Sister Lin Xi, I'll help you make your lantern too."

"Well... why do we have to do this? Tell me more about the Spring Festival."

"I don't know, it should be similar to the Spring Ploughing Festival, right? But this is something that Lord Chen has instructed us to do, it must be different!"

"why?"

"……Um."

After a long pause, Wei Ning could not come up with any clear idea, so he forced a summary: "Master Chen must have his reasons, we will just do it. Look at this lantern painted with red paper, how beautiful it is!"

"Red paper lanterns are only used by newlyweds."

"Yes, no wonder it looks so festive. Lord Chen said that every street should be hung with red lanterns and every household should paste red paper couplets."

"What are couplets?"

"Here."

Wei Ning flipped out a booklet and handed it over: "I remember Sister Lin Xi's handwriting is very beautiful. This time I came to trouble you to write couplets for us. These are written by Master Chen!"

"Oh?"

Open the booklet.

Yan Lingxi read: "The first line: smooth sailing and good luck every year; the second line: everything goes well and progresses step by step; the horizontal scroll: auspicious stars shine brightly... The first line: wealth rolls in with the arrival of spring; the second line: happiness comes with blessings; the horizontal scroll: wealth comes in abundance."

Read the above two sentences.

She rolled her eyes.

"How vulgar! The language used by this Lord Chen is unbearable to read."

"Eh? But I think it's really festive."

"hehe."

Yan Lingxi twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with helplessness.

I couldn't help feeling sad when I thought about copying these vulgar words with my noble hands.

"I like this. Please, Sister Lin Xi, write this couple in the most beautiful handwriting."

Wei Ning took her hand and pointed to a section.

Yan Lingxi looked down.

"The first line: intensive farming and a bumper harvest, the second line: diligence and thrift in managing the household for more years, the horizontal scroll: peace and prosperity for the country and the people."

suddenly.

The expression on her face became somewhat unnatural.

Looking at the four big words "Peace and Prosperity for the Country and the People" in the couplet, a vague feeling of pain arose in my heart.

Careful farming, thrifty household management...

Is this all the people need to do to ensure peace and prosperity in the country?
But... "Sister Lin Xi, what's wrong with you?"

"...I'm fine."

Yan Lingxi shook her head and turned to the next page.

Good weather.

Peace and good luck.

The flowers are full and the moon is full.

"Why call it a couplet? Let's call it a collection of auspicious words..."

But for some reason, when I looked at this plain, simple and vulgar couplet again, the resistance in my heart dissipated a lot.

Yan Lingxi took out pen and ink and began to copy the couplet on the cut red paper.

Beside her, Wei Ning was weaving bamboo strips into exquisite lanterns and pasting them with red paper with the word "Spring" written on them.

It took very little time to write two couplets.

Afterwards, he made lanterns with Wei Ning.

There are many styles of lanterns, including big lanterns, small lanterns, and lantern strings. After they are made, they can be hung directly under the eaves, in front of the door lintels, and other places.

Subsequently.

Stand in front of the gate and paste the couplet.

First Couplet: As winter goes, the mountains and rivers become equally beautiful.

Second line: Come to the peach tree to share the fragrance.

Horizontal banner: Happy New Year.

After all, she didn't want to make it too tacky, so the couplets she prepared for herself were more unconventional.

"All right!"

Wei Ning wiped his forehead and looked at the scene with great satisfaction.

"If you don't know, you would think I'm married."

"Sister Lin Xi will definitely look even better when she gets married!"

"I won't get married."

Yan Lingxi didn't want to continue this topic and turned away.

suddenly.

The idea of ​​going out for a walk came to my mind.

Go straight out of the yard.

The streets around the Agricultural Promotion Institute have completely changed.

The streets have been sprinkled and cleaned, and look brand new.

On both sides of the road, bamboo poles stand tall and straight, and endless red lanterns sway gently in the breeze, like flames, flashing warm light in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The big tree in the distance was hung with colorful ribbons and also had red lanterns hanging from it.

In front of every household, there are two bunches of auspicious couplets with different handwritings, carrying the blessings of the New Year.

Children are chasing and playing in the streets, their laughter and joy are intertwined with the busyness of adults, while the elderly are sitting on the doorsteps, watching all this with smiles on their faces.

"Spring Festival... like this?"

Yan Lingxi walked among them, and some kind of power was stimulated in his blood.

Her mind was dizzy for a moment.

Faintly, many images flashed through my mind.

In the distant sky, an extremely huge dragon was riding on the clouds and hovering above the sky.

The sun and the moon are skillfully held in its mouth, emitting a soft glow.

Upon closer inspection, its body is made up of millions of magnificent palaces and winding streets.

The buildings made of scales are of different heights, with carved beams and painted rafters. The streets paved between the scales are busy with cars and pedestrians.

The world is full of different aspects, with prosperity and silence alternating, and the vicissitudes of time are fully revealed.

When she came to her senses.

He has returned to his own courtyard.

The Minister of Agriculture was holding a pair of couplets in his hand and looking at her with satisfaction.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture? I seemed to have seen Taizu and the Divine Dynasty at that time just now."

"The Chen Jing Avenue has taken shape and has already condensed a spirit of people's will. As the descendant of Taizu, you are naturally able to control the spirit of the people. With the nourishment of this spirit, you have restored some of your bloodline strength."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture explained.

"I also awakened a magical power."

Yan Lingxi raised his arm, dragon scales faintly appeared on the back of his hand, and his eyes turned into golden vertical pupils, carrying a kind of superior oppression.

Just when she was about to try it.

The Grand Minister of Agriculture immediately pointed his finger and suppressed her blood.

"Once the aura of the True Dragon bloodline is leaked, this place will be barren. Do not use it until you can control the awakened power."

"Humph."

Yan Lingxi suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "How can I control this power?"

"..."

The Grand Minister of Agriculture shook his head and said that he would know when the time came.

He thought that it would be better not to tell the princess, as whether she could control her own power depended on how high Chen Jing could reach.
