Governor Qiao didn't mean to embarrass Kang Yan, but everyone's voice was too high, he was not good at clearly favoring the Kang family, and the Kang family did a really good job of fighting flowers this time, it can be seen from the increasingly cordial attitude of Governor Cui and Zhou Shilang towards him in the past two days, and they are also very satisfied with the Douhua Club in their hearts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a parent official, it is his primary responsibility to purge the government order, but it is also his important responsibility to develop the agricultural economy, this time the Douhua will be undertaken by the Kang family, although the subordinate officials of the prefect Yamen are very dissatisfied with their own expertise this time, but after the end of the Douhua meeting, those discordant voices should have stopped.

I can finally sit firmly in the position of the prefect of Macheng.

With this result, the Kang family and this Douhua helped a lot, so Qiao Zhifu's heart was unwilling to embarrass Kang Yan, but he couldn't ignore the protesting florists in front of him, some of them were from outside Macheng Mansion, if this matter was not handled well, the reputation of the Macheng Mansion Douhua Club would be easily damaged.

In desperation, he was about to announce the cancellation of the ice lantern Yulu's qualification for the competition, but fortunately, the other two pots of flowers in the Kang family were not bad, and they should be able to have a good ranking.

Just when he was about to speak, Kang Yan spoke, she did not intercede for her family, but asked them to listen to the shopkeeper of the Kang family, Qiao Zhifu looked at the shopkeeper Li on the stage, and saw that he did look like he had something to say, so he nodded.

Shopkeeper Li twisted his hands tightly together and rubbed them, his palms were full of sweat, he took two deep breaths, suppressed the tension in his heart, and recalled the words that Kang Yan had taught him before he spoke.

"The brother just said well, fighting flowers, fighting flowers, fighting flowers is naturally flowers, and I also agree with this sentence very much, but what is a flower, my opinion is slightly different from that of brother."

"Our Macheng Mansion has always been a flower civilization in the world, speaking of the history of the development of flowers, everyone here must know a lot, the word flower in the ancient oracle bone inscription to do 'Hua' Li, the expression of the blooming flower type and the verdant branches and leaves, it can be seen that the original meaning of the flower is the meaning of the branches and leaves, "Shuo Wen Jie Zi" body is called: flowers, flowers also, the general name of the grass in the world."

"Since the flower is the general name of the grass in the world, then the ice lantern gyokuro is naturally also a kind of flower, besides, our previous flower fighting will not explicitly stipulate that plants that do not bloom are not allowed to participate, and the ice lantern gyokuro can naturally participate, and I think there is nothing unfair in this situation."

Shopkeeper Li said this, paused, and looked very aggrieved, and said: "Woo, it's not right, if you want to say it's unfair, it should be that we think it's unfair, every pot on this table has beautiful flowers, and our pot of ice lamp jade dew has no flowers. ”

Shopkeeper Li's words were very slow, but they were reasonable, which made people feel very reasonable, especially the last sentence, his aggrieved appearance made many people in the venue feel funny, and the originally somewhat embarrassing atmosphere suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The people sitting down there began to talk.

"It makes sense to say that, there is indeed no such provision in the rules of the Douhua Club."

"There is indeed this sentence in the body of "Shuowen Jie Zi", but we used to think that flowers can bloom, in fact, think about the fact that many of the flowers we use to enjoy and play on weekdays are not all blooming."

"Well, yes, like evergreen, ivy, bamboo, or something doesn't seem to bloom, isn't it loved by many people?"

The judges on the judges' table all looked serious, and they did not expect that the words of Shopkeeper Li would cause everyone to start a discussion about the category of flowers.

"He's right, what exactly is a flower, what is it, what is it, what belongs to flowers, and what doesn't belong to flowers, it seems that there is no definition." Master Xu, the head of the jury, thought hard, his face was a little dazed, and the old master who had dealt with flowers all his life was obviously a little confused.

"The rules of our Flower Fighting Club really don't say that plants that don't bloom are not allowed to participate in the competition, I think this ice lantern Gyokuro should participate." Master Zhang next to him proposed.

It's rare to see such a beautiful and pure Gyokuro, and it's a shame not to participate.

Sun Youcai, who has been very active in the jury, disagreed, "This is also used to stipulate, this is common sense, if it doesn't bloom, how can it be called a flower, for the Kang family's practice of wanting to take advantage of loopholes, it should be resolutely stopped, and the ice lamp Yulu must be disqualified." ”

Several judges agreed with Sun Youcai's opinion.

Next to the judges' seat is the guest seat, and the prefect Qiao, Governor Cui, Zhou Shilang and others sitting in the guest seat are also discussing, and the previous Douhua will never encounter such a thing.

"What the shopkeeper of the Kang family said also makes some sense, Mr. Yan, what do you think?" Governor Qiao was very hesitant to see that Governor Cui and Zhou Shilang were very hesitant, so he opened his mouth to ask Yan Heqing's opinion, he is a world-famous Confucian, and many people must listen to what he said.

Mr. Yan pondered for a moment before he spoke: "There is indeed a statement in the "Shuowen Jie Zi" that flowers are the general name of grasses, according to this statement, flowers cannot be narrowly defined as flowering flowers, and everyone's understanding of flowers should not be too narrow. ”

The implication is to recognize what Shopkeeper Li said and approve of the Ice Lantern Gyokuro competition.

"My lord, what do you think of this?" Governor Qiao asked Governor Cui tentatively.

Governor Cui was a little embarrassed, although he also felt that what Shopkeeper Li said was reasonable, but the key to this matter was not that there had been no such thing in the previous Flower Fighting Club, but that the Kang family had caused a debate about the category of flowers.

Many people have a habitual understanding of the concept of flowers, and think that only those who bloom are counted, but with such a preconceived concept, if they agree to the ice lantern Yulu competition, it is equivalent to subverting everyone's traditional cognition.

If the consistent perception is broken, I am afraid that many people will find it difficult to accept.

Once it is difficult for everyone to accept it, they will think that the government is favoring the Kang family, and they cannot afford to lose this reputation.

It would be nice if Governor Qiao announced the cancellation of the ice lantern Yulu before Shopkeeper Li spoke just now, at most, Konka's face was not good-looking, but the Kang family also had two other good pots of flowers, as long as they got a good ranking, they could save face, and they didn't care about this if they wanted to come to the Kang family.

But now that Shopkeeper Li has said something, and it makes sense, it is not easy for them to make this decision, after all, there are still many people who think that Shopkeeper Li has made sense.

How to decide, the adults were silent.

Kang Yan thought for a while, stepped forward, and curtsied, "The Kang family has embarrassed the adults, please listen to the people's daughter." ”

"Say whatever you want." Governor Qiao nodded.

"Our Macheng Mansion's Douhua Club is famous all over the world, and it can be said that it is the bull's ear that holds the flowers in the world, but today it has caused such a debate because of whether this ice lamp jade dew is a flower or not, I believe everyone has their own opinions in their hearts, please think about why we have such a disagreement now?"

Governor Qiao and Governor Cui glanced at each other, but neither spoke.

Kang Yan also doesn't sell Guanzi, "The reason why the people think that everyone has disagreements is because there is no book on flowers to let everyone use as the basis for judgment." ”

Mr. Yan's eyes lit up, he is a reader, he is the most sensitive to books, he already understands what Kang Yan is going to say, I don't know if she is planning to achieve a good plan, or if she thinks of it temporarily, he can quickly find the root of the problem in such a short period of time, and put forward a method to benefit himself and others, he has to say admiration for this intelligence and wit.

However, maybe it's because every time she mentions the method of self-interest and self-benefit, someone will be willing to help her, in the end, a girl who has lost the protection of her parents, it is always more difficult to live in this world than others.

He looked at the prefect Qiao, Governor Cui and Zhou Shilang, who also had some understanding, and couldn't help but flash a trace of comfort in his eyes, it seems that among the top three in this year's Douhua Competition, the Kang family's position is stable.

"Although there are a lot of books about flowers circulating on the market now, most of them talk about the habits of various flowers or how to cultivate lamps, but there is no record of the list of flowers.

Kang Yan means that the government will come forward to organize the world's famous flower masters to compile a list of flowers.

Books? Zhou Shilang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, but everyone who has read a book knows the meaning of writing a book, which is a major event for cultural nourishment and laying a cultural foundation.

More importantly, raising flowers was originally just the work of the flower masters, it is the work of the craftsmen, but the compilation of the flower directory is different, that is to do research, to do learning, to do academic work, if you can gather the world's famous flower masters to compile a book, then the flower raising has become a discipline, not only the identity of these flower masters is different, but they are also not ordinary in the identity of the officials who proposed to participate.

This trip to Macheng Mansion is really worth it, and the unexpected gains are one after another, and this thought flashed in the hearts of Zhou Shilang and Governor Cui at the same time.

If a list of flowers is really compiled, their merits will not only be in the present, but future generations will remember them.

They will go down in history because of this name, and their hearts will be excited when they think of leaving their strong mark in the vast history.

But all officials, especially civil officials, there is no one who does not want to go down in history, Kang Yan's temptation is too great, they can't refuse at all, and they haven't thought about refusing. rs
