Chapter 161: Talking about Flowers
Seeing that there was no one around, the object of the woman's speech was obviously herself, Yang Yu was a little surprised, so he took two steps forward and said: "How do you know that we are playing? Let's talk about something interesting!"
"What's interesting?" the woman asked. Pen ~/@\ Idiot ~!δΈ@!ζ~VV.bi^Start
Yang Yu has already guessed the identity of this woman, she called the emperor the emperor's younger brother, then she is naturally the eldest princess, and they all said that the eldest princess was about to be proposed by the envoys of the Han and the Great Zhou on the peony flower meeting, but what did she do here early in the morning?
Yang Yu was guessing in his heart, so he walked in two steps with a smile, and found that there were two Dan'e palace maids standing under the flowers and trees outside the pavilion, bowing their heads and not saying a word, and the women in the pavilion saw it very clearly because of their own entry!
This woman seems to have been carefully dressed, so she has a dazzling beauty, which is peerless among the women Yang Yu has seen. The red lips are red without dots, the thin eyebrows seem to be frowning, the phoenix eyes are pitch black, beautiful and unparalleled, and the beautiful eyes have taken people's breath between the light flows.
A three-foot green silk is woven into three strands, one is coiled in the back of the head, and a hairpin is a double butterfly playing cloud white jade hairpin. The other two strands are scattered on the shoulders at will, wearing a light color brocade depicted palace dress, and a blue smoke sprinkled silk skirt is tied below, which is the luxurious standard dress of the Dajin Palace, and the palace dress has its own charming color.
When this person saw Yang Yu walk in, he also stood up, and he was graceful and graceful between his steps, looking forward to the brilliance. After Yang Yu saw this woman's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Yang Yu stood under the pavilion after approaching, looked up and said, "Your Majesty is a teenager, for him, of course, the most interesting thing is to play!"
The eldest princess reprimanded: "The royal brother wants to be a successful monarch, but you talk to him all night about playing?
"The princess is wrong, tomorrow is the peony flower meeting in the capital, Your Majesty loves this kind of flowers and plants, so naturally she talks about it wholeheartedly, how can I sweep away Your Majesty's interest? So of course we are talking about peony flowers!"
"Oh!" the eldest princess stared at Yang Yu in surprise and asked, "You also know peony flowers?"
"Of course!" Yang Yu said. Baidu search β₯ pen β₯η‘β₯ β₯ text
The eldest princess chuckled and said, "Tell me about the special features of this Luoyang peony!"
Yang Yu was a little embarrassed by the eldest princess's laughter, but he was no longer the original, so he said: "This kind of peony flower has special requirements for water and soil, once the water, soil and climate environment are suitable, it will naturally bloom!
"Snortββ!" The eldest princess sneered again, with disdain in her voice! This made Yang Yu even more embarrassed, he really didn't understand peony flowers, so he was not interested in the peony flower party that was about to be held at all.
Just now in front of the eldest princess, slapping a swollen face and becoming fat, is nothing more than a manifestation of a man's competitiveness.
"You don't understand flowers, but you dare to comment, it seems that you are not only bold, but also thick-skinned!" the eldest princess teased.
"So the eldest princess understands, tell me, what's so special about this Luoyang peony?" Yang Yu said unconvinced.
The eldest princess stretched out her hand and pointed to the flowerbed in front of her: "Anyone who knows knows that peonies can be divided into 'three categories, nine colors, and ten types'. β
Then she told Yang Yu what it meant to be "three types, nine colors, and ten types"
There are three categories, namely single-headed, heavy-headed, and mixed. This is classified according to the number of flowers on each branch of the peony, one is a single-headed flower, two is a double-headed flower, and three is a three-headed peony.
Nine colors, refers to the color classification of peonies. The so-called Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Qinglong Lying Ink Pool, and Guifei Drunkenness not only refer to color, but also to form.
The ten types are mainly classified according to the number, size, arrangement and morphological characteristics of peony petals. And Luoyang peony is often classified like this to distinguish the special, and it is also very important to people who appreciate flowers.
Luoyang peony flower color is very rich, there are red, white, pink, yellow, purple, blue, green, black and compound color and other nine colors, colorful, thousands of purple and red, this is one of the special features!
When it comes to variety, there are more than that! Counting the nine color system, there are no less than 500 varieties, and according to the distinction of their type, color, and class, the naming alone is very cumbersome, and the naming of contradictory varieties is either by surname, or by place of origin, or by flower color, or by flower shape. Those who are named after their surnames such as Yao Huang, Wei Zi and Ou Jiabi, those who are named after their origins such as Luoyang Chun, Qianxi Fei and Shou'an Hong, and those who are named after their colors such as Crane Ling Red and Carmine.
Some peony flowers are named with handsome names, such as Drunken Yang Fei, Yu Tianxian, Er Qiao, etc. There are also profound and elegant titles, such as Yingluo Jewel, Feiyan Red Makeup, Snow Lady, Pink Fragrance Slave, etc.
The knowledge of these peony flowers, the eldest princess said casually, she was extremely familiar, as if she was like a flower master! Who is like a group of flowers, people will be splendid and learn from the flowers. β
Yang Yu applauded and said, "Good poetry!"
The eldest princess looked back and smiled: "Pat yourself on the back, this poem was not written by me, it seems that my evaluation of you is correct, you are really thick-skinned!"
Yang Yu scratched the back of his head and said: "It's not necessarily thick-skinned, the princess's voice is good, of course it is a good poem, is there any such poem?
The eldest princess blushed and said: "As soon as you say this, it proves that you are not from the capital, the people of the capital love peonies from the heart, not pretending to be elegant, once a great talent said: Luoyang people are used to seeing strange things, peach and plum blossoms are not flowers, must be peony flowers in full bloom, the city is full of paradise!"
"So that's the case, I said that there are a lot of peach and apricot trees on the hillside in the capital, but few people take care of them!" Yang Yu said.
"What other allusions can you say about this peony flower?" Yang Yu asked.
"Of course," the eldest princess said: "Luoyang native Song Dan's father, good at gardening, he planted peonies, red and white, mutated thousands of species, was respected by the people of the time as a flower master, and was surprised that he had "the art of the world". It is a pity that this superb art has not been recorded and handed down. β
There is another person, the surname Dongmen, known as the "Gate Garden", is a peony flower master, the rich people all ask him to graft peonies, autumn flowers, the next spring to see the flowers and then pay, live a plant, worth 5,000.
Among the precious varieties, there was a flower master surnamed Ou, who used medicine to cultivate white peony roots, and the flowers bloomed light blue in the following year, known as "Ou Jiabi", which was extremely precious, and was used as a tribute every year to serve the imperial court.
"You see that Ou Jiabi's flower plant is under the rockery, if nothing else, it will bloom early tomorrow morning!" said the eldest princess.
Yang Yu said with a smile: "I said early in the morning, the eldest princess came here, it turned out to be guarding the peony flower!"
