On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head, the Empress delivers food, and the emperor plows the land.
According to legend, the second day of the second month is the day when the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was born. The Dragon Head Festival originated in the era of Fuxi. Fuxi believed in agriculture and plowing the land. Every year, on the second day of the second month, the Empress delivers food and the emperor plows the land. Legend has it that dragons can move clouds and summon rain, eliminate disasters and bestow blessings, symbolizing auspiciousness. Therefore, it has become a custom to pray for peace and a good harvest with various dragon-related folk activities.
Ye Zhen went out with Pei Shi early in the morning. Today's sacrificial ceremony will be very lively, so Old Madam Lu did not go with them.
After going to the earth temple with Pei Shi to burn incense and worship, they went to the moat.
The moat was already full of people. Seeing such a scene, Ye Zhen was only willing to watch from afar, not wanting to squeeze into the crowd at all.
"Yao Yao, you wait here. Your brother and I will go to fetch water." Pei Shi saw so many people and felt that it was not appropriate for Yao Yao to go with them, so she asked her to wait in an open and cool place.
Lu Xiangzhi said, "Mother, let's go to a place farther away. There are fewer people there."
"Okay." Pei Shi nodded. In fact, some people let their servants come to fetch water, but more people came to fetch it themselves, which showed their sincerity.
"Did Second Aunt also come to fetch water today?" Ye Zhen seemed to see Lu Jing's figure and thought that Wang Shi should have taken her out early in the morning.
Pei Shi didn't want to talk about Wang Shi, so she nodded faintly, "It has nothing to do with us whether she comes or not."
Hearing this, Ye Zhen naturally stopped asking. Last time she was almost taken away by robbers, Second Aunt gloated for a long time and spread some unpleasant words outside. When Pei Shi learned about it, she almost flew into a rage. Later, it was Old Madam Lu who reprimanded Wang Shi to restrain her. However, Pei Shi no longer paid attention to Wang Shi, otherwise, she would not have come out to fetch water in person today.
Pei Shi and Lu Xiangzhi went to fetch water while Ye Zhen waited. She felt a little bored, but she didn't expect to see Huang Fuchen here.
Huang Fuchen was holding a little boy in his hand. They were walking over from the riverside. Ye Zhen didn't know what they were talking about, so they didn't notice her.
"Mr. Chen, you are here too." Ye Zhen walked over and greeted Huang Fuchen with a smile.
"Miss Lu?" Huang Fuchen was a little surprised to see Ye Zhen and smiled at her. "Are you here to fetch water too?"
Ye Zhen said, "I accompanied my mother here. I didn't expect Mr. Chen … Do you also believe that the water of the moat is blessed?"
She remembered that Huangfu Chen was proficient in divination. He might not be able to predict the future, but he seemed to be able to see many things more clearly than others.
Huangfu Chen said with a smile, "You're blessed to believe it."
"It's you!" The little boy beside Huang Fuchen looked at Ye Zhen in surprise. "I still remember you."
Ye Zhen looked at him in surprise. After thinking about it carefully, she remembered who he was. He was the little boy she saved with the spirit spring water for the first time. He seemed to be the grandson of Doctor Qi.
"Last time, my nephew was saved by Miss Lu." Huangfu Chen had a gentle smile on his jade-like face as he looked down at Qi Zixi. "Xi 'er, thank Miss Lu."
"Sister, thank you for saving my life." Qi Zixi bowed respectfully to Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen held his hand and looked up at Huangfu Chen. "Mr. Chen, it's just a piece of cake. How can you afford such a thank you?"
Huangfu Chen said warmly, "Xi 'er has had a hidden illness since he was a child. After being saved by Miss Lu last time, his illness has not flared up for a long time, and his body is much stronger than before. You are like his benefactor. How can you not afford such a thank you?"
Ye Zhen looked at the little boy, who was no more than seven or eight years old, and said to Huang Fuchen with a smile, "That's a coincidence. With a doctor like Mr. Chen, Xi 'er's illness was soon cured."
Huang Fuchen shook his head and smiled. He did not say that in order to cure his nephew's hidden illness, he had gone to the place where the descendants of the Hundred Herbs Hall lived in seclusion to find a cure. So far, he had not found a cure. She did not know what she had fed Xi 'er at that time, but it made his body stronger.
Ye Zhen noticed that everyone's eyes were on Huang Fuchen. Naturally, he would be the center of attention wherever he went, and more women were looking at him. Some even took the initiative to smile shyly at him. Unfortunately, Huang Fuchen acted as if he didn't see the hints from the girls and continued talking to Ye Zhen as if he didn't see them.
"There is one thing I want to ask Miss Lu, but it is not convenient to talk now. I will go to the Medical Center tomorrow to teach, and then I will ask you again." Huang Fuchen said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen's eyes widened in surprise. "Mr. Chen is going to the Medical Center to teach?"
Huang Fuchen sighed helplessly. "Yes, I have to obey Doctor Qi's order."
"Then, don't you become my teacher?" Ye Zhen smiled. It was a blessing to be able to receive knowledge from Huang Fuchen.
"Why are you so happy?" Huang Fuchen looked at her bright smile, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Ye Zhen said, "Of course, I am happy to receive your teaching."
Huang Fuchen asked with a smile, "Then what do you want to learn?"
"I …" Ye Zhen glanced at him. "Can you teach me divination, sir?"
"Why do you want to learn divination?" Huang Fuchen was a little surprised. He thought that she wanted to learn medicine.
Ye Zhen lowered her head slightly. She naturally did not believe in divination before, and she was not interested in it. However, her soul had been wandering for two years, and now she was reborn into her sister's body. Her future was completely unknown. She wanted to learn divination, at least to get some hints about the future.
"It's out of interest. If it is inconvenient for Mr. Chen to teach me, I dare not force you." Ye Zhen said.
Huang Fuchen looked at her deeply. "I can learn divination, but not everyone can learn it. Show me your hands."
Ye Zhen looked at him doubtfully. Shen Chu's own hands.
Her hands were slender and white, slender like bamboo shoots. Her nails were plump and slender. She did not apply any cardamom, and her hands were clean, with only a natural layer of faint pink halo. Huang Fuchen's eyes flashed. He gently pinched her fingertips, and there was a hint of surprise in his tone. "Miss Lu has a pair of good hands."
Ye Zhen asked with a smile, "Does Mr. Chen mean that I can learn divination?"
Huang Fuchen smiled faintly. "If Miss Lu wants to learn, I am naturally willing to teach you, but …"
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Ye Zhen immediately thanked him happily.
Huang Fuchen shook his head and chuckled, looking at Ye Zhen's smile that was brighter than the sun.
In a carriage not far from the two of them, a pair of deep, dark eyes saw everything between them. When he saw Huang Fuchen holding Ye Zhen's hand, his eyes suddenly surged with murderous intent.
