Chapter 10 Plum Blossoms in the Tomb Have No Flowers
After that, there was a fierce battle, and both sides were in a huddle and fought together.
Although the girl and Li Erjiao are quite capable of fighting, Dongfang Bai and Tang Tianshun are a little worse, and Zhang Guoqiang can still make do with it.
It finally came to an end, and Zhao Youya and his group saw that they couldn't take much advantage, so they withdrew.
However, as the price of the treasure keeper, Dongfang Bai's people and horses were also damaged, Dongfang Bai himself suffered a few punches and kicks, and now it still hurts, but he feels that "men don't flick when they have tears", and they will fall into their stomachs if they clench their teeth, and they will never spit out.
He was probably born early, and he hasn't heard Andy Lau's "It's not a sin for a man to cry!" ”
Tang Tianshun's face was also a little red and swollen, and there was still some blood at the corner of his mouth.
Packing up the things you carry, it's all in good condition, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Li Erjiao swelled up now, and he already felt that he could be the boss.
At this time, Zhang Guoqiang helped him sensibly, "I said anxious, your words just now are simply handsome, so cool!" Lao Tzu's surname is Li, haha. It's really swearing and not spitting dirty words. ”
When Li Erjiao heard this, he became energetic, and he worked harder: Speaking of my surname, it is the fourth in "Hundred Family Names".
I'll give you a riddle, can you guess? The riddle is four words, saying:
I am the head of the people of the world,
There is no self in the world to worry about every day,
The eldest son sells silk on his back,
The youngest son carries wood.
Zhang Guoqiang hadn't guessed it for a while, Dongfang Bai had already known about it.
He said, Xiao Li, don't be complacent, although Zhao Qiansun Li is in the top four in "Hundred Family Names", but what's so great about this?
Zhao Youya, who was not a human thing just now, his surname is still in the first place, so what can he do?
It turned out that the riddle that Li Erjiao said was the four words "Zhao Qiansun Li", and the surnames of the world's hundreds of families were not headed by the word Zhao?
And if people in the world don't have money, they don't have to worry every day!
The eldest son sells silk on his back, that is, Sun, and at that time in the past, the grandson of traditional Chinese characters was written as "grandson", and the son carried a string of silk behind him.
The youngest son carries a piece of wood, and there is a wood on the top of the sub-character, which is Li.
Li Erjiao was choked by Dongfang Bai's words, and it made sense to think about what people said.
Dongfang Bai knew that he always wanted to be the boss, but he couldn't give in, because he was leading everyone to Yangguan Avenue, and if Li Erjiao had the final say, then he might be walking through the robbery hole in the ancient tomb.
So, in order to suppress Li Erjiao's prestige and kill his sharpness, he said to him: "Let me ask you, do you know what zodiac I belong to?" ”
Li Erjiao was stunned when asked, he hadn't seen Dongfang Bai's birth eight characters, how could he know.
Dongfang Bai himself said: "The 12 zodiac signs are the first!" ”
Li Erjiao said: "You turned out to be a rat!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to understand the true meaning of Dongfang Bai's words when he asked him, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
They are already approaching Guo Pu's mound of clothes, Dongfang Bai knows that Guo Pu's mound is next to Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, named "Guo Xiandun" according to the records in some books.
Before approaching the mound of clothes, everyone saw plum trees everywhere.
"How can there be so many plum trees here?" The girl asked.
This Li Erjiao naturally didn't know, all he liked was his "scorched peony", and when he heard everyone talk about plum trees, he said a lot less.
Dongfang Bai replied: "During the Republic of China, thousands of plum blossoms were planted next to this Guo Xiandun, so Guo Pu Xiandun was also known as "Meiling" at that time. ”
When the group arrived, the plum blossoms had not yet bloomed. At that time, it was only the end of September, and the plum blossoms did not bloom until December at the earliest, and generally bloomed in January and February.
It's a pity that I didn't get to see the beautiful picture of a thousand plum blossoms blooming. The girl lamented.
Dongfang Bai asked: "Do you also like plum blossoms?" ”
The girl replied, "I just like to look at flowers, and I don't know much about them." ”
Oriental white guest living in Hangzhou for nearly ten years, and Hangzhou people have always loved plum blossoms, every year to fold plum bottles, prune appropriately, for the hall.
Hangzhou people like to enjoy plum blossoms, if they go to the West Lake, there is still a little panic, but when it comes to visiting plums, it must be glad to go.
There are three major scenic spots in Hangzhou, namely Lingfeng, Gushan and Xixi.
During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, a Hangzhou magistrate allocated funds to Lingfeng Temple to plant 100 plum trees, and since then there has been the saying that Lingfeng "explores plums".
Dongfang Bai has also been there, and he admires the plum blossoms alone.
Speaking of Lonely Mountain, strolling along the lake, walking on the trail of Lonely Mountain, you will see a lonely tomb and a pavilion, which is the source of the story of Lin Hejing, who never married or did not marry, took Mei as his "wife" and took the crane as his "son".
Dongfang Bai said that during the Anti-Japanese War, Zhou Shoujuan lived in a village, coinciding with the Spring Festival, he found a rectangular purple sand shallow pot, borrowed a green calyx plum from his neighbors, and then dug up young pines and small bamboos in the mountains, and planted them in a pot to make a "three friends of the cold year".
When the girl heard this, she liked some plum blossoms even more.
"Green calyx plum, I heard you say this, there are still some varieties of plum blossoms?"
Dongfang Bai replied: Yes, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are many plum blossoms, and the varieties are also different. Among them, most of the single-petaled flowers are Jiangmei, which is more numerous. Double-petaled or double-petaled, crimson or pink, is called "palace powder".
There are both single and double petals, and the flowers are pure white or nearly white, which is called "green calyx".
The purple-red flower is called "cinnabar", the petals have spots or stripes, and the flower with two colors is called "sprinkled gold".
Tang Tianshun is a native of Wenzhou, and he has seen plum blossoms a few times, but he just looked at it and didn't know these statements. For this gentleman, who is only less than ten years older than him, that is even more respectful!
He asked, "Sir, I see that you also have plum orchids and bamboo chrysanthemums in your Houde Hall, why do you like plum blossoms so much?" ”
Dongfang Bai replied: "Plum blossoms used to be called the national flower in the past, and later they were replaced by peonies. ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Erjiao, in fact, he didn't mean to talk about this, and he didn't mean to tell him, so he felt a little like a thief.
Fortunately, Li Erjiao did not speak, he was only interested in the ancient tomb at the moment.
Dongfang Bai went on to say: other flowers bloom in summer, only plum blossoms bloom in the cold winter. In the poem "Plum Blossoms" by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty, there are:
A few plums in the corner,
Ling Han drove alone,
Remote knowledge is not snow,
For there is a dark fragrance to come.
The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and what I like is the spirit of plum blossom proud snow.
Plum blossoms bloom at the turn of winter and spring, and are known as "primroses". Qiong muscle and jade bones, a beautiful woman outside things, is the leader of the group.
Plum has four virtues: the first birth is the yuan, the flowering is the heng, the knot is the benefit, and the maturity is the chastity.
Flowers bloom with five petals: symbolizing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and also representing the five blessings, happiness, happiness, longevity, smoothness and peace.
Tang Tianshun nodded: "In the future, I will also plant a few plum trees in the garden." ”
Dongfang Bai said: plum blossoms have four expensive, you have to remember, first, it is "precious and rare not expensive dense", in some branches, occasionally exposed a few plum blossoms, just like standing out from the crowd, such as a fairy in the sea of people, good freehand.
If a branch is densely covered with flowers, it's not good. It's like the ancient city wall is full of people, crowded with people, then there is no scenery to see.
Second, "the old is not expensive and tender", the smaller the skin, the better, and the plum blossom is the older the more windy the bones. Especially after a dozen snowfalls, the white snow stores a little bit on the petals, and the white is translucent red, which is extraordinarily beautiful.
Third, "expensive and thin is not expensive and fat", the petals of plum blossoms should be thinner to look good, and if they are fat, they will look a little bloated. Plum blossoms are flowers that bloom in the cold winter, and they show their demeanor even more when they are thin.
The last one, "expensive but not expensive", such as a beauty still holding a pipa and half covering her face, beauty is in the haze.
When the girl heard this, she giggled: "I never imagined that Mr. Dongfang was an otherworldly person who did not eat fireworks in the world, but you actually know how to appreciate women like this, have you seen a lot of women?" ”
Dongfang Bai's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said cowardly: "How can there be! I'm just talking on paper, I have a thief's heart but not that thief's guts! ”
The girl was even more laughing.
