Chapter 82: Gao Rong sees Xuanqing

After Gao Rong got Ling Hao's order, he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly solved the few fried buns in his hand, and then followed Ling Hao's instructions, holding the jar of lychee wine, and went to Wang Xuanqing's location.

Regarding the question of whether Wang Xuanqing can be admitted to school by virtue of her qualifications, the Luoyi School Palace has been divided into two factions, one group specifically expounds on the various disadvantages of her qualifications, and the other group takes advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of her and wants to draw her to other schools to be a student.

Anyway, Ling Hao wasn't worried about her, if this kind of thing could stump her, it would be too embarrassing for her teacher to teach her.

Slowly and leisurely settled the lunch, carefully inspected the flowers and plants he had planted earlier, the growth is very good, it seems that there is a problem.

This is a young plant of several chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemum is a perennial root-based herbaceous plant of the family Asteraceae and the genus Asteraceae in plant taxonomy. According to the cultivation form, it can be divided into multi-headed chrysanthemum, single chrysanthemum, dahlia, cliff chrysanthemum, art chrysanthemum, desk chrysanthemum and other cultivation types; according to the appearance of the petals, it can be divided into garden hugging, retreating hugging, reverse hugging, random hugging, open heart hugging, flying afternoon hug and other cultivation types. Different types of chrysanthemums are named after a variety of variety of species names.

Chrysanthemum is one of the top ten famous flowers in China, one of the four gentlemen (Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum) in flowers, and one of the world's four major cut flowers (chrysanthemum, yueji, carnation, gladiolus), with the highest output. Because the chrysanthemum has the character of cold and proud snow, there is Tao Yuanming's famous sentence of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan". The Chinese have the custom of appreciating chrysanthemums and drinking chrysanthemum wine during the Chongyang Festival. Tang Meng Haoran's "Passing the Old Man's Village": "Stay until the Double Ninth Day, and come back to chrysanthemums." "In ancient myths and legends, chrysanthemums were also endowed with the meaning of auspiciousness and longevity.

Chrysanthemums are precious ornamental flowers that have been artificially selected and cultivated over a long period of time, and were introduced to Japan as ornamental chrysanthemums around the 8th century AD. In the late 17th century, Dutch merchants introduced Chinese chrysanthemums to Europe, France in the 18th century, and North America in the mid-19th century. Since then, Chinese chrysanthemums have spread all over the world.

According to classic records, chrysanthemums have been cultivated in China for more than 3,000 years. The earliest records can be found in "Zhou Guan" and "Buya". "The Book of Rites: The Month of Order": "In the autumn month, there is a yellow flower", indicating that the chrysanthemum is blooming in the autumn moon, and it was a wild species at that time, and the flowers were yellow. From the Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there are records of chrysanthemums in the Book of Songs and Qu Yuan's Lisao. "Lisao" has the sentence "Drinking Mulan in the morning and dewing in the morning, and falling in the autumn chrysanthemum at night". Illustrate that chrysanthemums and the culture of the Chinese nation, has long formed an indissoluble bond, in Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, there was a grand market for chrysanthemum exhibitions, which shows that the cultivation of chrysanthemums at that time was prosperous.

The Han Dynasty's "Shennong's Materia Medica" recorded: "Chrysanthemums can be lightweighted and prolonged for a long time." "Xijing Miscellaneous Notes": "Chrysanthemum Shushi, and pick stems and leaves, mixed millet rice brewed, to the next year September 9 to begin to ripen, on the drink, so called chrysanthemum wine." At that time, the imperial concubines all called it "longevity wine", and used it as a tonic medicine and gave each other gifts. This custom remained popular until the Three Kingdoms period. "Shu people have a variety of chrysanthemums, seedlings can enter Lai, flowers can be used for medicine, gardens are planted, and wild chrysanthemums are picked in the suburbs for medicine." From these records, it appears that chrysanthemums were originally cultivated in China for edible and medicinal purposes.

Tao Yuanming (355-417) of the Jin Dynasty became a fetish for chrysanthemums, which was widely spread. He wrote a lot of chrysanthemum poems, such as "Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan"; Qiu Ju has good color, and it is more revealing of its Ying" and other famous sentences, which are still popular today. At that time, the doctor admired its high wind and bright festival, and also admired a variety of chrysanthemums, and praised the chrysanthemums as "fragrant and fragrant herbs, colorful and heroic".

Tao Hongjing (452-536) of the Northern and Southern Dynasties divided chrysanthemums into two types: "true chrysanthemum" and "bitter barley". The stem is purple, fragrant and sweet, the leaf can be used as a soup for the eater is the true chrysanthemum; This is another step in the understanding of chrysanthemums.

During the Tang Dynasty (618-907), the cultivation of chrysanthemums was widespread, and the cultivation techniques were further improved, and the propagation of chrysanthemums by grafting was adopted, and purple and white varieties appeared. For example, Li Shangyin's poem: "Dark and faint purple, melting and melting and treating yellow". Bai Juyi's poem: "The garden is full of chrysanthemums and golden flowers, and there are lonely bushes that are like frost" and so on are proof. At this time, chrysanthemums spread from China to Japan, and were appreciated by the Japanese people. They then crossed chrysanthemums with several Japanese wild chrysanthemums to form the Japanese cultivated chrysanthemum system.

In the Song Dynasty, chrysanthemums were cultivated more vigorously, and with the improvement of cultivation and selection techniques, the variety of chrysanthemums also increased significantly, which was an important period from medicinal use to garden ornamentation. During this period, the chrysanthemum spectrum classified the varieties planted by flower color, and also recorded the flower shape in detail. Liu Meng's Chrysanthemum Spectrum (1104) is the earliest monograph on ornamental chrysanthemums, with 26 varieties of chrysanthemums. There are 35 varieties recorded in Fan Chengdaju (1018), among which "Hecicada" and "Red Two Colors" are the earliest records of the appearance of tube petals. Later, the green "green hibiscus" and the black "black chrysanthemum" appeared in the flower color. In terms of cultivation, he has further experience in the shaping and topping of chrysanthemums, maintenance management and the use of seed propagation to obtain new varieties. "Five Records of Getting Rich" records: "Lin'an Garden, every weight nine, each with strange flowers than wins, called the opening of chrysanthemums." "Hangzhou Mansion Chronicles" recorded: "There is a flower market in Lin'an, and the chrysanthemum is a flower tower." It can be seen that Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, had a flower market and a flower fair. The chrysanthemum festival that has been handed down to this day began in Hangzhou during the Southern Song Dynasty. At the end of the Song Dynasty, Shi Zhu's "Collection of Hundred Chrysanthemums" recorded 131 varieties of chrysanthemums.

In the Ming Dynasty, the chrysanthemum planting technology was further improved, the chrysanthemum varieties increased, and the chrysanthemum spectrum also increased. For example, Huang Shengzeng, Ma Bozhou, Zhou Luchen, Gao Lian, Le Xiuyuan and others are all authors, and there are "Chrysanthemum Words". In Huang Shengzeng's "Chrysanthemum Spectrum", 220 varieties of chrysanthemums are recorded. Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica (1580) and Wang Xiangjin's Qunfang Spectrum (1630) both have many records of chrysanthemums. There are 92 varieties of yellow, 73 varieties of white, 32 varieties of purple, 35 varieties of red, 22 varieties of pink, and 17 varieties of exotic varieties, totaling 6 categories and 271 varieties, and at least 16 flower types.

There are more chrysanthemum monographs in the Qing Dynasty, including Chen Haozi's "Flower Mirror", Liu Hao's "Guangqun Fangpu", Xu Zhaoxiong's "Dongli Zhongzheng", Lu Yancan's "Art Chrysanthemum Zhi", Min Yankai's "Chrysanthemum Raising Law", Xu Jing's "Yiju Simple", Yan Lu's "Art Chrysanthemum Instructions", Ji Nan's "Chrysanthemum Saying", Chen Moushan's "Art Chrysanthemum Trivia", Wu Yiyi's "Xu Yuan Autumn Flower Spectrum" and so on. According to the book "Flower Mirror", there were 54 varieties of chrysanthemums at that time: yellow, 32 white, 41 red, and 27 purple, a total of 154 varieties. Ji Nan's "Chrysanthemum Theory" contains 233 varieties of chrysanthemums, of which more than 100 are newly cultivated, and proposes the method of chrysanthemum breeding. The varieties of chrysanthemums in the Qing Dynasty are increasing day by day, and there are people who offer all kinds of strange chrysanthemums to the Qing Emperor during the Qianlong period, and Qianlong has summoned the flower painter Zou Yi to enter the palace to paint, and bind it into a book. Painting chrysanthemum-inscribed poems among the literati has also become a trend. Dream Chinese

In the middle of the 18th century, Louis Bilta of France brought Chinese varieties of large chrysanthemums to France. In the 19th century, the British botanist Fortune introduced chrysanthemum species to the Zhoushan Islands in Zhejiang Province of China and Japan, and carried out cross-breeding, resulting in various types of British chrysanthemums. Soon after, it spread from England to the United States. Since then, this famous flower has been planted all over the world. China's cultivated chrysanthemum has become an important parent of today's Western chrysanthemum......

Now that it has entered autumn, it is not bad to drink chrysanthemum tea once in a while.

Chrysanthemums are made by flower picking, shady drying, raw steaming, baking and other processes. According to ancient records, chrysanthemum has a sweet and bitter taste, is cold-resistant, and has the effects of dispersing wind and clearing heat, clearing the liver and eyes, and detoxifying and reducing inflammation.

At this time, Gao Rong finally came to Wang Xuanqing's residence, respectfully posed as a subordinate, and offered lychee wine.

Wang Xuanqing nodded, and then motioned for Gao Rong to put down the lychee wine.

Gao Rong was about to retire, but Wang Xuanqing suddenly stopped her.

"Gao Xiaowu, please stay. ”

"What else is the matter, ma'am?"

"It's fine, it's just a little boring and want to talk to you. Wang Xuanqing was busy writing between the cases at the moment, and did not look up at Gao Rong......

"Why should Madame be so polite, the slave maid has just done some part. Gao Rong didn't annoy anything, just smiled slightly.

She understood that Wang Xuanqing was playing with her, but she had already carefully understood Wang Xuanqing's family background before she came to serve Ling Hao, and she was just an ordinary daughter of ordinary people, because she had some talent, she won Ling Hao's appreciation, and immediately flew up to the branch and turned into a phoenix, and became Mrs. Ling, who was laughing and generous to the nobles of Yongcheng Realm, and she also knew about it.

At this moment, I looked at Wang Xuanqing carefully, and he really had a bit of a posture, and he looked very natural and decent, but he didn't know how much he was capable......
