Chapter 30: Brilliant (2)

The third princess and the county lord of Yonghe were not bored, and then asked Han Jinxiu to tell the flowers that bloomed in other months, according to this view, they had to make Han Jinxiu more popular, and the two of them were not stupid.

The rules of the third round of the competition are discussed by the three princes and the three princesses, that is, all the names of all are written on bamboo sticks, placed in the bamboo tube, and the eldest princess draws lots to select the candidates for the third round of the competition. As for the topics of the third round of the competition, they are deliberating and selecting the candidates first.

The big stone hanging in mid-air by An Mei and Anxin has landed, and those who want to see the jokes of the crown princess will not succeed, but the two of them have been following Niangniang, how do they not know when Niangniang knows this, Niangniang has never taken a book in the boudoir, how do you know this? The two maids looked at each other, could it be that the mother had something to hide from them?

As soon as they thought of this, the two of them invariably remembered in their minds that they were scolded by Han Jinxiu's staff, and the masters still don't ask about the masters, and the masters will naturally say it if they want to, and it is the right way to serve the master well.

The three rounds of the flower viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion reached the ears of the prince, Ah Yan's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "What do you say, the princess of the second round of the competition has answered, and the princess of the second round really answered so many varieties of flowers, is it right?" ”

Ah Jiu rolled up his hand and put it to his lips and coughed lightly twice, and scolded: "Ah Yan, pay attention to the etiquette, Your Highness hasn't spoken yet, you are in such a hurry." But you don't have a good ear and can't hear clearly? The gardeners of the Chengguo Mansion all said that Niangniang answered correctly, why do you question Niangniang? "It's really a good mood, let Ah Yan fall through the glasses, who made him always look at his mother on weekdays, hum!

Hearing this, Ah Yan glanced at Ah Jiu fiercely, what was he proud of. Taking a deep breath, Ah Yan waved at the prince: "Your Highness, the slave is reckless, please punish Your Highness." ”

The prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are the candidates and topics for the third round of the competition?" ”

The man in black who was kneeling on the ground replied: "Back to Your Highness, it's the crown princess, as for the topic, the slave hasn't found out yet." ”

Ah Jiu and Ah Yan opened their mouths wide, and they were the crown princess again? At this moment, they had a feeling that the flower-viewing banquet of the Chengguo Mansion was aimed at the crown princess, and the county lord of Yonghe, who proposed the competition, was afraid that his motives were not pure.

The prince waved his hand and motioned for the man in black to go down and investigate. Immediately after that, he took the fold on the bookcase and continued to look at it, without making any comments on the other party's remarks.

That's right, the candidate for the third round of the competition is still the crown princess Han. The bamboo skewer that the eldest princess pulled out was written with Han Jinxiu's name, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to.

The third princess and the county lord of Yonghe took the lead in applauding, and the eyes of King Yu, King Lu, and King Zhan all showed a trace of curiosity and expectation when they looked at Han Jinxiu.

Especially King Zhan, Han Jinxiu in his impression could not answer the first round of the competition, the poems about peonies, the flowers that bloomed in March and April in the second round of the competition, ordinary people really don't know, and it is really shocking to be able to say so much. In just a few days, Han Jinxiu's performance is too strange, it seems that he is getting farther and farther away from him, and he is no longer the Han Jinxiu he knows, what happened to him. King Zhan clenched his fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands protruded, he must find the reason!

An Xin was slightly worried: "Crown Princess, you ......"

Han Jinxiu chuckled: "Don't worry about this palace." Then he got up and stood in front of everyone and let them look at him. The crown prince is the future prince, if there is no accident, as the crown princess, Han will be the queen of the world in the future, she is a straw bag, will definitely make the world laugh, if she is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, it may not be, on the contrary, she can become the prince's help.

The third princess and the county lord of Yonghe joined in a heated discussion with King Yu about the topic of the third round of the competition, and the final unanimous topic was to ask Han Jinxiu to name the eight pots of precious peony flowers placed among them one by one, not only to say their names, but also to say their characteristics, which is the most important!

The peony flowers cultivated in the Chengguo Mansion are the most precious, otherwise they would not have attracted so many young talents and boudoir girls to come.

The peony flower is gorgeous in color, jade smile and pearl fragrance, elegant and chic, magnificent, known as the "king of flowers" reputation. Among the cultivation types, they can be divided into hundreds of varieties according to the color of the flowers. There are many varieties of peony, and there are many colors and luster, with yellow, green, flesh red, dark red, and silver red as the top grade, especially yellow and green are expensive. The peony flower is large and fragrant, so it is also known as "the national color and the fragrance".

Eight varieties are carefully cultivated among the hundreds of varieties, and it depends on how much Han Jinxiu has studied and understood peony flowers on weekdays, and whether he can say that one or two varieties come out.

Everyone's eyes fell on Han Jinxiu, there were too many eyes, concern, and ridicule......

Han Jinxiu bowed slightly: "You can start." ”

Hearing this, the corners of King Zhan's eyes trembled slightly, and a different color flashed from the bottom of his eyes, is it possible, can she really answer? So it is conceivable that he has always been kept in the dark by Han Jinxiu in the past.

From Han Jinxiu's ear, he slowly said: "The first peony flower is Baixue Tower, the flower is white, crown-shaped, with large outer petals, the inner petals are thin and wrinkled, stacked and spherical, the petal base has a purple halo, the flowers are green and white at the beginning of the flower, and the bloom is white like snow-white jade." ”

After speaking, he took a light step, ignoring the eyes of everyone, leaned over and carefully looked at the second peony flower, and thought slightly: "The second is Wei purple, the flower is purple-red, lotus-shaped or crown-shaped." The flowering period is long, the flowers are large, and the flowers are plump, which is pushed as the "queen flower". ”

The third is Zhao Fen, named because the flower is pink, and it was called "Tongzi Noodles" in the old days. The flower type is diverse, the plant growth is strong, the number of flowers is large, it is a multi-flower variety, and the fragrance is pleasant. ”

"The fourth type is Wei Huang, the flowers are goose yellow at the beginning and golden yellow when they are in full bloom. The flowers are higher than the leaf surface, the flowers are neat, the flower shape is plump, the brilliance is shining, the smell is fragrant, and it is called "the king of flowers". ”

"The fifth type is Erqiao, the same plant and the same branch can bloom purple-red, pink and white flowers, or the same flower on the same purple-red and pink and white two colors, which is very peculiar."

"The sixth is Luoyang red, also known as purple two Qiao, the flowers are bright purple red, it is a variety of abundant flowers, one can bloom a hundred flowers, and it is full of Yingluo. The flowers are luxuriant and leafy, known as the "queen of new flowers". ”

The seventh type is the "drunken Yang Fei", which is pink-purple and pink-top in full bloom. Because the branches of the plant are soft, the flower head is drooping, and the slender drunken state, it is called "drunken Yang Fei". ”

"Well, the last one is that the pistil of the green dragon lying ink pool is green in the center of the flower, surrounded by dark purple multi-layered petals, like a green dragon lying in the center of the ink pool, so it is called the green dragon lying ink pool."

After carefully observing the eight precious varieties of peony flowers, Han Jinxiu said their names and simple characteristics, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and they all saw surprise in their eyes, this is simply impossible, how could Han Jinxiu know.

At this time, the florists unanimously turned to Han Jinxiu and said, "What the crown princess said is not wrong at all, Niangniang is really well-informed. "It is not easy to say eight varieties of precious peony flowers in one breath, and they correspond to them one by one, they are eye-opening today, and it is rare for people in the royal family to know peonies so well, it is really their luck.
