Section 13 Appreciate the chrysanthemums, and see the mirror flowers and the moon

The trees in the blowing platform are lush and lush, and the chrysanthemums are even more beautiful.

The red ones have black peony, cinnabar red frost, and red ink chrysanthemum; The red and yellow are golden and red, golden and red, and the lips are dotted; The safflower and yellow stamen are the red apricot villas; The petals are yellow on the outside and red on the inside, which is the purple dragon lying in the snow; The petals are white on the outside and red on the inside, which is the Xiangshan young phoenix; The pink ones are shy girl, clear water lotus, pink peach, pink queen, pink sunflower, pink lotus; There are also white-haired lions, white peonies, grass huts such as hedges, white pine needles, white jade bead curtains, remnant snow shocks, white gulls chasing waves, light thousand birds, autumn water green waves, rouge point snow, Yaotai jade phoenix; the yellow golden queen, and the six golden yellows, yellow fragrant pears, and ancient dragon whiskers; There is also a plant with two flowers, one pink and one white, which is two Qiao......

Liao Jingzhi is a person who loves chrysanthemums, and she remembers them clearly one by one, and everyone asked them gossipingly, and she said the same thing.

The dark incense floats, and the autumn wind sends incense. With the sound of the flute, it makes people shake even more. Everyone looked intently and saw a man in a green shirt and a square scarf playing the flute under a plane tree. There are a lot of birds and birds falling on the plane tree, but there is really a remnant of Shi Kuang's song that frightened the birds.

The girls are all showy, and the young masters are all in the wind, and they are even more unusual with the carved saddle golden horse, the splendid soft sedan chair, and the delicate children's beautiful maids. The person who held the flower party saw that there was a young master and girl of the Cao family, and he hurriedly dispersed the crowd, leaving only them to enjoy the flowers at will. And said that if you like it, each boy and girl can choose at will when you leave, and he knows that if they pick it away, the reward is indispensable, and it is much better than placing it here for those sour Confucians to write into crooked poems.

The girls each picked a pot for the maid to hold, but Ran Nuo didn't pay attention to what Liao Jingzhi said, and I don't know what they were holding. I saw a white chrysanthemum graceful and aura, so I let Luoying hug it back.

As soon as he entered, Rannuo smelled a faint fragrance. There was a big dustpan in the courtyard, and Shu E was placing small golden flowers on it. A little girl had already taken the young master's flowers, just waiting for the young master to say where to put them. The young master looked at Shu E, "What are you putting these?" ”

"The young master is back", Shu E raised her head and smiled, "This is a chrysanthemum, the young master didn't smell the chrysanthemum fragrance in the garden?" ”

"I heard it, but I've never seen it, so I asked." Rannuo stopped and said.

"It's no wonder young master, this is bitter barley, also called wild chrysanthemum. Because I went to the backyard today, I saw a piece of the rockery growing on the garden, and the gardener was about to pull it out and clean it up, and put on a potted good chrysanthemum for the wives to enjoy, so I asked for it to come back. ”

There was a wife's maid who shouted to Luo Ying, so Shu E put down the work in her hand, helped the young master open the curtain, and poured tea for the young master. The young master put the white chrysanthemum on the table, "What are you doing with those wild chrysanthemums?" ”

Shu E didn't say a word, only brought a bowl of tea with a pale yellow and soft soup to the young master, and there were two pastries in the tea tray. When the young master looked at it, this time it was a small glass bowl, with a wild chrysanthemum in its mouth at the bottom of the bowl, and the pastry was also transparent white, with a few chrysanthemum petals in it.

When the young master picked up the bowl and tasted it, the tea flavor was fragrant in the mouth, but the aftertaste was a little bitter. When I swallowed it, I felt that my mouth was full of coolness. I picked up another pastry, which was soft and smooth, and it was also full of fragrance. When I drank tea again, I found that the tea had bottomed out, but the flowers did not move. The young master was busy drinking it all, and when he turned it over, it was a chrysanthemum stuck to the bottom of the teacup.

The young master smiled and said, "You think again, no wonder you use a glass bowl." What do you say about this bowl of tea and this cake? ”

"It's just a bowl of dew-soaked chrysanthemum tea, a chrysanthemum cake made of horseshoe powder, what can you say?" Shu E smiled and turned her head and walked away, going to add tea to the young master.

The young master nodded, "This tea and cake are not easy to make, I know at a glance, but you do it so much", the young master took the tea bowl and raised it to Shu E, "What do you say?" ”

"The young master is really smart, he guessed it with a guess. This tea is called 'looking at the moon in the water', and this cake is called 'seeing flowers in the fog'. Shu E said with a smile.

"You don't have to praise me, why do you want my tea and pastries, all of them have such names? You don't see Mrs.'s pastries, they are all 'Ruyi', 'auspicious', 'rich', 'peaceful'......" The young master said and laughed, it's really difficult for people to make a piece of pastry, and install such a name to show goodwill, there are special chefs in this house, carefully developed every day, just to make these exquisite and gorgeous pastries, with a magnificent name.
