Dongshi Tianxiang Museum takes the word Tianxiang in the predecessor writing peony "national 'color' morning wine, Tianxiang night dyeing clothes", although the country's "color" Tianxiang is used indiscriminately by later generations, and it is not only used to write peonies, but since this Tianxiang Museum is famous for its four seasons of "flower" flowers, the king of "flowers" is the first to recommend peonies, plus several times peony "flowers" will fight "flowers" to win the championship, this "Tianxiang" word is also a bit vulgar and elegant.

Ning Shaobi is obviously very familiar with this place, the carriage drove directly into the backyard from the corner 'door', Zhuo Zhaojie was helped out of the car by him, looked around, and saw the green brick paving in the courtyard, and a lush pine tree in the middle of the two hugging, which is very shady and sunny, although the 'color' has become much brighter today, but when you get out of the car, you feel darker.

The carriage stopped in front of a verandah, next to the stone steps of the upper porch, and along the railing was a small bush of roses, which had not yet been beaten out, and was only distinguished by the lights hanging on the cloister at intervals.

There were several people waiting on the corridor for a long time, the first one was a silk shirt 'jade' crown, it was a man dressed as a rich man about thirty or forty years old, with straight eyebrows, fair skin, and short hair under his chin, he saw Ning Shaobi get out of the car, and he had already lifted the corner of his robe and stepped down in two steps, and was about to salute, but he saw that Ning Shaobi didn't look at him, and turned around to help Zhuo Zhaojie, and waited for Zhuo Zhaojie to stand up, then let go, the man in the silk shirt had already turned around Zhuo Zhaojie's body silently, and at this moment he just retracted, and the corners of his mouth smiled at Ning Shaobi to the ground:" The prince is here, and the whole house is full of splendor! ”

Ning Shaobi waved her hand casually and asked, "Is the private room ready?" ”

"Back to the world, I have already prepared according to the instructions of the world." After the man in the silk shirt got up, he made a gesture to Zhuo Zhaojie, Zhuo Zhaojie nodded with a smile, and the man replied while smiling, and said, "This is the old man Cen on a certain Zhuangzi, who has served" peony all his life , and his eyesight is the best. ”

Hearing this, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but glance at the old man Cen, but saw that this old man was about sixty years old, wearing an obviously newly made brocade robe, his face was dark, and his ten fingers were also dyed into a brown 'color' that was difficult to wash away for the 'fat' soil, but his bearing was neither humble nor arrogant, and he took a step forward and said: "Little old man is willing to listen to the nobles!" ”

Ning Shaobi 'revealed' her 'color' of satisfaction, and had a little respect for this old man Cen , turned back to Zhuo Zhaojie and said with a smile: "That phoenix 'flower' tree was planted by this old man Cen to live, and now the 'flower' craftsman there is still taking care of it according to the method pointed out by Old Master Cen." ”

When he mentioned the phoenix 'flower' tree, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but think of the charm of the letters exchanged back then, and smiled at him, Ning Shaobi's eyes were full of joy - they can't help but look like you and me, who else can't see it in front of them?

The man in the silk shirt had already judged from Zhuo Zhaojie's clothes and the regulations of the other carriage that followed the eldest princess's carriage and horse that she was from a good background, and it was expected that although she was born, she should also be a little lady who came out of the 'door' such as a scholar, but now seeing Ning Shaobi's appearance, she couldn't help but remind herself to be more attentive, don't neglect this coquette.

Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie flirted for a while, and then remembered to introduce her and said, "This is the master of the Lu Pavilion." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie nodded at the man in the silk shirt, and said friendly: "I just arrived in Chang'an, and it is the first time I have come to this peony 'flower' meeting, but I heard Jiulang say that the peony of the Tianxiang Pavilion is excellent, and I expect that the owner of the Lu Pavilion has made a lot of efforts to 'flower', and he will be able to win the championship again." ”

Lu Chao, the owner of the museum, said with a smile: "A certain family inherits the words of the little lady, thank you for the kind words of the prince!" ”

After a few pleasantries, Lu Chao invited Ning Shaobi and Zhuo Zhaojie to go to the prepared private room.

Walk along the verandah to the end, pass the 'door' into the court, you will see a small 'flower' garden in the courtyard, there are three or five bamboos planted in it, it is lovely, the fence next to the bamboo is wrapped around a circle of dill, and then after three or five courtyards, the grass and trees are planted in the inside, or a corner, or according to the middle, are not precious things, but they all grow gratifyingly, have ingenuity, and show their skills.

Ning Shaobi's pre-booked private room was upstairs, Lu Xian personally accompanied, and when he didn't want to go upstairs, he saw a young man in a brocade robe walking out of an open 'door' not far away, holding a folding fan, pointing at Ning Shaobi, and shouting: "Where did you spend the night last night!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie recognized that this person was Shi Jiawulang Shi Caifeng, and was curious about what he meant by asking, and saw a burly young man coming out behind Shi Caifeng - Chun Yu Thirteen relied on himself to be half a head taller than Shi Caifeng, and raised his hand to make a gesture, Zhuo Zhaojie and the others did not know why, but Ning Shaobi understood and said: "Naturally it is in Tongshanfang." ”

Chun Yu's thirteen faces suddenly stiffened, but Shi Caifeng knocked the folding fan in the palm of his hand and said happily: "Wonderful! Thirteen, get the silver ticket, Ben Langjun won! ”

Zhuo Zhaojie heard that they seemed to be betting on where Ning Shaobi stayed last night, and his face turned slightly red, and he saw Chun Yusan glaring at Ning Shaobi fiercely, and then said angrily: "Take it!" He took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, snatched it with a smile, counted it carefully, and then greeted with a smile: "Hey, Zhuo Xiaoqi Niang has arrived?" Come on in! ”

Ning Shaobi's face was a little unsightly, and she said, "You didn't book a private room?" What do you want to do when you take my place? ”

"It's ordered." Shi Caifeng 'touched' his chin and said with a smile, "But the location is not as good as yours here, so it's better to come to you to have a good time...... You're not going to be ruthless enough to drive us away, are you? ”

He said so, but he didn't dare to wait for Ning Shaobi to answer, and quickly asked Zhuo Zhaojie, "Xiao Qi Niang, my grandfather and my grandfather are also considered to be classmates and know each other, I call you a sister who is not outside, right?" How can you bear to ask us people to go down and crowd the lobby with others, right? ”

Zhuo Zhaojie didn't answer, and looked at Ning Shaobi, Ning Shaobi didn't even think about it, so he said: "I can't bear it very much, you two hurry up and bring someone to get out for me!" ”

"......" Shi Caifeng was speechless, Chun Yusan sighed, and said, "I knew he would say that...... But do you even want to catch up with the king of the county? ”

Ning Shaobi frowned and said, "County King? ”

Shi Caifeng suppressed his previous laughter, glanced at Lu Trend and said, "Pavilion Master Lu go down...... Ning Jiu, come in and speak. ”

Ning Shaobi saw that they didn't seem to be joking, so she snorted: "If there is no good reason, you should send someone down as soon as possible to occupy a good position, so as not to have a place to sit for a while!" ”

Entering the private room, but saw that there was a fine weaving of tooth "color" and "flower" ink leaves, the top was a same tooth bottom fine silk embroidery screen, the screen was embroidered with peonies suitable for the scene, the face was dark, the seats in the four places were purely walnut wood, and the place facing the "door" was a row of long windows, which were now closed, and a drainage "fine" curtain was therefore hooked on both sides.

On both sides of each seat, there is a peony bonsai that is spraying incense and spitting, and I don't know whether it is stained with 'dew' or watered before, and there are many water droplets on the petals and leaves of the 'flower', which is crystal lovely.

These peonies are all available in red, white, pink, yellow, purple and green - the first plant is red 'color' near dark purple, and the cinnabar red 'Yan' next to it is like a red ring, next to the seat, moonlight white, stream fairy red, smoke velvet purple, rose stack, 'jade' face peach 'flower', race beads, seed yellow, bronze face, bean green...... There are also several Zhuo Zhaojie that I have never seen before, and I can't name them.

After everyone sat down, Zhuo Zhaojie stared at a pot of dark purple 'colored' peony 'flowers' not far away: "What is this?" ”

The peony 'flower' is shaped like a crown, the 'flower' bud is round and pointed, the leaves are dark green, with a purple halo, and the 'flower' is very large, pressing the 'flower' branch slightly drooping - in the peony room, it is also a very conspicuous one.

Ning Shaobi followed her gaze and said with a smile: "This is Guanshimo 'Jade' Note 1, which is a black peony, which is indeed very rare. ”

Shi Caifeng said with a smile: "Xiao Qi Niang, now in this private room, the most precious thing is not this crown ink 'jade', guess which one?" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at him and said, "I don't know much about peonies, but I think it's the red 'color' over there?" ”

Shi Caifeng and Chun Yu Thirteen glanced at each other, and said in surprise: "How do you know?" ”

Although Zhuo Zhaojie only asked Guan Shimo 'jade', she didn't say the name of the red peony she said, and obviously didn't know it, but she recognized it at a glance as the most precious product in the private room, Shi Caifeng and Chun Yu Thirteen immediately looked at Ning Shaobi.

Ning Shaobi said: "What do you think I do? I didn't tell Zhaojie...... How can you guess about the wisdom of Zhaojie? ”

Seeing that he spared no effort to praise him, Shi Caifeng and Chun Yu Thirteen were a little speechless.

Zhuo Zhaojie also glanced at him, and then said: "I see that one that Uncle Cen has seen the most since he came in...... What is it called? ”

Although the owner of the Nalu Pavilion recommended to come over to help the palm of the eye, Cen Laozhang is particularly wearing new clothes, in the end, he is old, although he behaves decently, but he also has no extraordinary bearing, Shi Caifeng and Chun Yu Thirteen are used to seeing the scene, and they have not paid attention to him, this will only find out that they are not the first time to go to the Tianxiang Pavilion, this Cen Lao Ji is quite famous in the Tianxiang Pavilion, and often invites large families to teach the skills of cultivating 'flower' wood, Shi Caifeng, Chun Yu Thirteen may not care much about 'flower' wood, but they are especially ' There are inevitably many people who love to plant "flowers" and "make" grass, and they have to consult this old man, they have always seen it twice, and when they saw it, they smiled and said: "The old man is here?" I didn't pay attention to it, don't blame it. ”

Uncle Cen was originally standing beside him, but he was busy coming out to greet him at the moment, and Shi Caifeng said with a smile: "Uncle Cen doesn't have to be polite, just sit down and talk." ”

Hearing this, Ning Shaobi immediately glared at Shi Caifeng - he was not against Cen Laozhang sitting down, but this private room was originally set by him to enjoy the "door" and Zhuo Zhaojie, but now Shi Caifeng and Chun Yusan actually took the lead not to mention, and even invited Cen Laozhang to sit down, he still didn't agree to let Shi Caifeng and others stay!

Mr. Cen said with a smile: "Thank you Shilang, it's just that the little old man has been instructed by the hall owner to explain some treasures in this 'flower' meeting to the prince and the lady, and it is better to 'serve' beside them." ”

Only then did he answer Zhuo Zhaojie's doubts, and said, "Lady, that's 'Neon Glowing Note 2', which is the leader cultivated by our museum last year!" Speaking of this, he said with a 'color' on his face, reserved and proud, "He is also the leader of the peony 'flower' at last year's peony 'flower'!" ”

"Last year's 'flower' leader?" Zhuo Zhaojie became interested and said, "Is this the pot?" ”

Uncle Cen hurriedly said: "No, last year's pot has been purchased, this pot is another cultivation, of course, this pot is also selected from dozens of pots, no less than the mother plant." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie felt speechless when he asked--the owner of the Nalu Pavilion specially sent this old man Cen over to introduce the treasures, isn't it just to sell? Although it was the first time for her to participate in the peony 'flower' meeting, she also knew that there was such an occasion to fight 'flowers', and the peony that won the championship in the end must be worth a lot of money, and it must have been bought by someone on the spot, otherwise if there is no profit to be made, where will this 'flower' be so lively every year?

"Every year the peony crown is fragrant,

Who knows who is the king?

There is no need to fight in the colorful bushes,

Neon iridescent Aotian incense Note 3. Ning Shaobi said with a smile, "Last year, on the last day of the 'flower' to 'flower' meeting, the 'Tianxiang Zhan' dew 'Note 4' cultivated in the 'Yiluo Chuanfangyuan' in the West City was defeated by the 'Neon Huancai'...... If it weren't for my grandmother's dislike of red 'colored' peonies, I would have almost done it. ”

Note 1 crown Shimo 'jade': 1973 Zhao Lou peony breeding, belongs to the black peony, this article is empty, the author of the peony understanding is poor, can not distinguish the ancient species of the present species, can only start with the name of the good sound, and then check, we know that there are many varieties of peony, the deliberate selection of ancient species of the project is too vast, hereby noted, so as not to mislead.

Note 2 Neon Glow: In 1972, Heze Zhaolou Peony (how is it them) Garden Ninth Team Cultivation, red peony. Same as above.

Note 3 The author wrote it himself, and I don't have much time to think about the words and phrases when it is more than 10,000 a day, so I thought about the question of whether it is more appropriate to use "Fang Zhu" or "Peony...... Think about the plot that everyone is watching, so let's do it.

Note 4 Tianxiang Zhan 'dew': What a pit man, this is not written at all ancient species or modern species! So the author is even more unclear, by the way, he despises the lower degree, "'jade' emerald blue" is written with blue peony, and the picture is obviously a pink peony, which looks like Zhao Fan.
