Chapter 55: The Black Emperor
Chapter 55
Old Mr. Qin finally straightened his waist, he closed his eyes, then raised his hand and slowly took off his glasses.
People looked at him curiously.
Several of the people who were surrounding the mysterious flower with him also slowly straightened up and raised their heads.
They exchanged glances with each other, and then looked at the old man surnamed Qin.
"Look. ”
Opening his eyes, Professor Qin asked.
Several people looked at each other again, then slowly shook their heads.
"Old Qin, look ......," one of the old gentlemen, who was also quite old, began.
only saw Qin Lao shaking his head and smiling bitterly.
"I don't recognize it either. ”
The crowd was in an uproar.
The attitude of the old gentlemen was obvious enough, and it was obvious that none of them recognized the specific variety of this multi-flowered flower.
This undoubtedly surprised everyone.
Li Yan said: "As far as I know, there are more than 8,000 varieties of tulips in the world, so many of them, it is normal that they cannot be recognized. ”
He was obviously looking for a few gentlemen to get under the stairs, after all, this kind of thing was still a bit humiliating.
However, one of the people who had been seriously watching the flowers before shook his head and said seriously: "It's not that simple. ”
"Oh?" Li Yan looked over curiously.
"Although there are many varieties of golden incense, we do have limited knowledge, to say that all of them dare not boast, if this branch is really just a unique variety, it is nothing if you can't recognize it, but ...... The problem is not just here. ”
Li Yan became more and more confused when he heard this, and the rest of the people were also confused, and Gao Peipei's eyes widened even more, looking very surprised.
"Old Qin, can you talk about it?" said the human.
The old man surnamed Qin, who was the first to stand up and say that he wanted to taste it, coughed, and then sighed: "That's true, if it were just like this, I wouldn't look at it for so long, this is not an antique, it's not so complicated, I don't know it, I look at it a few times, and the reason why I have seen it for so long is because the more I look at it, the farther away it is from the category of tulips." ”
"The farther away?"
"This ...... How so?"
These words are obviously too abstract for people to understand at all, although no one present can recognize its specific category, but just looking at the straight stalks, the three fat green leaves, and the corolla like a wine bottle and an inverted long skirt, how to look at it should be a tulip.
Professor Qin sighed and frowned, as if he was looking for words to describe it, but he couldn't find the right one anyway, and he could only say: "I won't say more about the specific botanical details here, and everyone is not interested in it, so I can only say that it is very different from the existing tulip category in many details."
Many people have noticed an interesting word, which is "style".
It stands to reason that when talking about botany, the word style always feels out of place.
But the old gentleman hesitated for a while, and finally used the word again.
"It's something that's too technical, it's hard to say, but in fact, it's not about science, it's about feeling. ”
Professor Qin said slowly, "It's a feeling, you must know that our human feelings are often closer to the real at some times, this flower gives me a very strange feeling, everyone knows, tulips are hermaphrodites, this is a biological statement, if you change to a humanistic statement, a flower should also be gendered, tulips have always given people a sense of nobility, as early as the 17th century, in the imperial garden of the Ottoman Empire, it was specially planted for the royal family and nobles. It is a naturally noble and elegant flower, dignified, showy, and enchanting, so it can become one of the four national treasures of the Netherlands and is famous all over the world. ”
After a pause, Mr. Qin looked at this mysterious flower, and said in an inexplicable tone: "However, this flower gives me a different feeling, although it is the same noble atmosphere, but... In addition to extravagance, there is no trace of feminine style, but it gives me a ...... Awe-inspiring and majestic. ”
"That's a good word. The old gentleman who spoke before said.
Professor Qin continued: " Someone said before that the shape of this flower is very similar to the black tulip, which is commonly known as the Queen of the Night, indeed, when I first came over, when I first saw it, I also thought it was the Queen of the Night, if it wasn't for Mr. Li to say more, I wouldn't come to see more, but now I can only say, fortunately I came to take a look, this style, this kind of temperament of tulips, is something I have never seen in my life, if it is said that it is similar to tulips in appearance, then in the spirit of the inside, it is not like this at all, but very different from tulips, if I want to say, rather than call it it'Night Queen', it's really better to call him ...... 'Black Emperor'. ”
Black Emperor!
As soon as the word was revealed, Zhang Xun instinctively felt that the name was very appropriate.
No, it doesn't seem to be his own aesthetic answer, but it seems to be a strange intuition that tells him that the real name of this flower is precisely this "Black Emperor".
"Good name. Someone exclaimed.
The meaning of admiration is not whether these three words are good or not, but that these three words are really appropriate.
Proper is best.
It can be said that whether this flower is a tulip or not from a biological and botanical point of view, it doesn't matter anymore, because even if it is, it is also in Cao Ying's heart and in Han, and the soul of the flower is completely different from the body. ”
Old Professor Qin sighed again, and then his eyes began to search, and finally landed on Zhang Xun who was outside the crowd.
He smiled, "You really bought a pot of rare flowers, I'm going to be jealous of your luck." ”
After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh.
Several gentlemen next to him also echoed that for them, it doesn't matter whether the variety of this pot of flowers is precious or not, what matters is the soul of the flower, which is the real value embodiment.
It's like music, in the ears of a real teacher, it's not about lyrics or singing techniques, it's about the singer's emotional integration.
That's all a kind of realm.
"The only pity is that this pot of flowers has not fully opened, so after all, it is a little worse, that temperament, but it is only a share, but it did not burst after all, otherwise, I will vote for this year's Kao. Professor Qin said again, his tone a little regretful.
Several gentlemen next to him also nodded, agreeing with this view.
However, in the crowd, some of the exhibitors who are not eyesighted enough, or not open-minded enough, heard these words, but their hearts began to be a little unbalanced, they are all people who love this way, and what they brought to the exhibition is also their own proud handwriting, if it is said that it is lost in the hands of other people with similar identities, it is also convincing, and no matter how bad this Kao is to give an insider.
And looking at the meaning of those gentlemen, it seems that they want to give the honor of Kao to this anonymous flower that can't even be described as a variety.
The flower is only passable on the outside, and as for its owner, he is a young man who doesn't know how to do it at all.
Therefore, even if several old gentlemen said this, some people expressed dissatisfaction.
"A few words are serious, I don't think this flower is brilliant, and I don't know what kind of variety it is, as for this appearance, it is also very ordinary, even this exhibitor...... Young people, eighty percent don't understand this, I think, a few gentlemen are not too much. ”
A middle-aged man spoke, his tone was quite polite, but everyone could hear the dissatisfaction.
Professor Qin and several other old gentlemen smiled helplessly, and did not refute anything, some things, can not be seen by eyesight, just like a famous painting, people who really understand, naturally understand the thrilling in it, but do not understand...... It's just a graffiti.
At their age, they are also cultivating temperament of raising flowers and walking birds, and they don't care about this kind of sound anymore.
However, they can not care, but Zhang Xun can't agree.
He knew his own business, and understood that the most beautiful time of his flower was not in the daytime, but at night.
I remember that the light curtain once reminded me that this mysterious flower blooms at dusk and ends in the morning, so at this time, my flower is actually just in a state of sleep.
And time ......
Zhang Xun glanced at the sky, his position happened to be facing a window in the west, and at this time, he could see the fiery red broken clouds in the west.
The setting sun is fainting.
Zhang Xun thought about the purpose of his coming here again, so he took a breath, walked forward separately from everyone, and said seriously: "I can't pretend that I didn't hear this uncle's words, I want to ask everyone to wait a few more minutes, and after a few minutes, I can't bear the title of the king of flowers, and then make a final conclusion, how about it?"
