Huang Tianhui said that the ancestor of the Huang family was originally from Baoding, Hebei Province, and he was a full-time member of the emperor's relatives who planted flowers, raised flowers, and renovated gardens.

The farthest history can be traced back to the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and there was a well-known gardener named Huang Yuanshan on the genealogy, who specially took care of the imperial garden for the Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun. He once presided over the construction of Yiyuan for Empress Dowager Li, the mother of Emperor Wanli, and gave ideas for the planning of Yongyuan for Zhang Juzheng, a cabinet scholar and first auxiliary minister. He is also the most glorious person in the family.

Those generations relied on the craft of gardening, living in the palace very beautifully, with flowers and plants as companions, dancing with bees and butterflies every day, and living a leisurely and natural life.

Later, during the Apocalypse, there was a person named Huang Mingguang. He compiled all the shapes, technical specifications, characteristics of flowers and trees, and cultivation techniques of various flowers and trees of the royal family into a book, and included nearly 10,000 kinds of incurable diseases and treatment methods in the cultivation of flowers and trees, etc., forming a very comprehensive and professional "Daming Wanyi Garden".

The book was recognized by the Ming court, and many editions were officially printed, and Huang Mingguang's manuscript was collected in the Hanlin Courtyard of the Ming Imperial Palace.

Huang Mingguang himself was also appointed by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, as the official position of the gardener of the Wupin Imperial Garden, and the Huang family was given the ability to live in the palace for generations and dedicate themselves to repairing the gardens for the royal family. And the Huang family is also called "flower messengers" by those palace maids and eunuchs in the court.

Until the beginning of the Peasant War at the end of the Ming Dynasty, to be precise, before Li Zicheng captured Kyoto, his Huang family was still living in the palace.

Later, Li Zicheng captured Kyoto, and there was a split among the clans. There are some people who feel that they should stay and continue to serve the next court. Their reason is very simple, the emperor needs a big garden, and if there is a big garden, then they need to maintain it.

And some people believe that Emperor Chongzhen's hanging of the coal mountain has shown that the Ming Dynasty is dead, and the Ming imperial family to which they are loyal no longer exists. Although they used to be only insignificant florists, as the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and after all, they lived in the court and could not go to the emperor's funeral, but they still had to be loyal and righteous. They are reluctant to serve the "mob" and prefer to leave the place where they once lived and struggled and move with their families.

At this time, a person named Huangqiaoshan in the clan stood up and led a large family to go south along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from Kyoto. When I walked to Gangnam City, I found this small village surrounded by mountains. Not only the environment is quiet, but also the scenery is unusually beautiful, a large family decided not to go, and since then settled down, named Huangjiazhuang. It was at that time that Huangjiazhuang had a name.

Later, the group of people who originally decided to stay and serve the "Dashun Dynasty" and take care of Li Zicheng's homeland were looking forward to the return of Wang Shi, but they were not happy for a few days (in fact, the Dashun Dynasty only had a total of 42 days before and after, which can be called the shortest-lived dynasty established by the Chinese peasant movement). Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, rivers and rivers cry, the sun and moon are lightless. And Li Zicheng, who was under pressure, only cared about running for his life, how could he have time to care about these lowly florists who had thrown in?

Just when these people were hesitating to leave or stay, the children of the Eight Banners invaded the capital.

Three days.

It was three hellish days.

It was three days of bloodshed.

It was three days that could not be looked back on forever.

Those gardeners who had been left behind and did not have time to escape became the targets of the rebels' anger and entertainment, and their deaths were quite miserable.

Soon, the information reached Huangjiazhuang in Jiangnan City.

Because they have always regarded themselves as the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and when they heard that the clansmen were killed by the Qing soldiers, they were all indignant, and the patriarch at that time, that is, Huangqiaoshan, gathered all the clansmen to hold a meeting and made rules in the ancestral hall:

My Huang family will never serve the Qing court, and the flowers in their collection will be given to men but not to women. If there is any violation, he will be expelled from the family tree and will never enter the ancestral hall.

Therefore, since then, the Huang family has only served some landlords and wealthy businessmen, and as long as they are with the officials, they have been rejected at the first time. Losing official recognition, their floral art skills can only be circulated among the people, and they have completely become folk art and intangible cultural heritage.

His grandfather Huang Rentang was actually handed down from the line of Huangqiao Mountain, as the eldest son of the clan, his skills were the best learned among the generations, and he was rated as having an ancestral legacy by the expert group of the village committee.

It's just that I didn't expect that when it came to Huang Tianhui's generation, it would be so miserable.

Especially Huang Tianhui, who is definitely the most unlearned model in his grandfather's mouth.

Although his grandfather's skills in planting flowers and raising flowers are good, the age of his life is relatively limited.

Romanticism skills that are too detached from the toiling masses are labelled with petty-bourgeois sentiment, or the dregs of the feudal landlord class. Fortunately, Huang Rentang's ancestors were farmers for ten generations, otherwise, a single Huangjiazhuang would really not be able to survive.

Besides, at that time, it was a problem to have enough to eat, so he spent more time farming. Those who plant some flowers and plants are in their spare time, and they are also limited to their Huangjiazhuang.

may have been in the countryside for a long time and used to living, but his grandfather has always refused to go to the city with Huang Tianhui to live. I feel that once I leave the land where I have been born and raised, I will feel uncomfortable with the land I have worked so.

He is not used to the high-rise buildings of the city, and feels that living in high-rise buildings is not grounded, and he is surrounded by reinforced concrete all day long, and he feels breathless.

He was not accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the city, and the men and women were dressed in fancy clothes, showing their arms and thighs, and their good black hair was not good, but they had to be dyed in various colors, like rotten straw polluted by paint, and he was angry when he saw this.

When I got up early in the morning, I couldn't go down to the field to do some simple farm work, and I didn't sleep when it was dark, and the ghosts cried and howled wolves.

A large group of old men and women have nothing to do, or dance around a broken stereo, and they don't disperse in the middle of the night.

Either that, or the table with a loud voice, the mahjong long cards are banged.

In his eyes, these are all urban vices, smoky miasma.

Finally, he waited until midnight, thinking that he could sleep, but it turned out to be the sound of the car "Dididi" and the sound of the motorcycle "Ula •••••• Ula ••••••", which made him often insomnia and in pain.

I miss the silence of my hometown in the countryside more and more.

The most unbearable thing is that there is no land in the city that can be used for their own farming, and it is very greedy to look at the green belt of the community. The flowers and plants inside are lifeless at first glance, as if they were produced from the assembly line of the factory, all of them are a mold, completely devoid of beauty, and every time I see it, it is extremely sad.

A few times, I really couldn't help it, and I just started to repair it, but when he was sweating and intoxicated, he was stopped by the community security, saying that he destroyed public property and caused great harm to the interests of the community and the owners.

The old man tried his best to explain a lot of truths and reasons, and even popularized gardening knowledge to the little security guard very enthusiastically, but the other party always "the spring breeze blows the donkey's ears - I can't listen to it at all".

Not only did he demand compensation from Huang Rentang, but he also had to confiscate his beloved equipment.

It's okay, these things are all ancestral. After more than ten generations of inheritance, even some tools are still used by the palace, and now they have become antique-level, can you confiscate them for no reason?

It's reasonable to be reasonable, if you move his equipment, what's the difference between that and asking for his life.

Although the good things are said, this little security guard is just a tendon.

That guy is completely Wang Ba eating scales, and he is determined to consume Huang Rentang to the end. even alarmed the property, dispatched 1--1--0, so angry that he almost waved his old fist with the security guard of the community.

Fortunately, the property in the community is more likely to come to things, and the crisis was resolved in a few words, and Huang Rentang's beloved equipment was also preserved.

However, the turmoil has made Huang Rentang even more disgusted with city life.

He went back to the countryside that night, which made Huang Tianhui very depressed and helpless.

Of course, Huang Rentang would not tell him about the shameless and disgraceful ugly things that were driven away for secretly doing gardening in the community, and his reasons were very high-sounding.

said that once he came to the city, he had to be separated from the flowers and plants that he had relied on for many years, the earth dog "Huang Huang", and the flower cat "Lingling".

(A cat and a dog expressed extreme opposition, they don't want to stay in the city, don't button the hat for Mr. Dog and Miss Cat.) ）

There is no way to move the beloved flowers and trees that are carefully tended to the city buildings.

Although Huang Tianhui has renovated the large balcony facing the south into a flower bed.

Even through the glass, you can enjoy plenty of daylight.

However, I always feel that once these flowers and plants are detached from the moisture of the sun and moon, they will grow lifeless and sullen.

And if these plants are not happy, he will naturally not be happy.

Of course, these are all fools made by the old man Huang Tianhui.

Huang Tianhui also knew.

After trying to persuade him several times, he found that every time he died without a problem, and he couldn't shake the old man's mind in the slightest. In the end, in desperation, he could only follow his wishes and return to the countryside.

Then, through the Internet, I found two nannies for the old man to take care of the old man's daily life 24 hours a day.

After experiencing the community turmoil, Huang Rentang, who returned to the countryside, was like a bird returning to the forest and regaining his freedom.

That look was so refreshed, how happy Sensei was.

Felt ten years younger.

Huang Tianhui, who was originally very worried, later felt that this was the most suitable.

It's just that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck, and the turning point of things happened a year and a half ago, an accidental fall.
