Chapter 20: The Impatiens (3)
Fang Ling smiled lightly: "Then Duan Gongzi doesn't know that impatiens are of course, this product is produced in the deep mountains of the border between our country and Vietnam, planted like sesame seeds, long like peach trees, flowers bloom like peonies, and the result is like olives. More than 10 years ago, when the dynasty scholar Jia brought this impatiens to the palace, deeply liked by the concubines, so it was included in the list of tributes, planted and cultivated in the palace, although there has been development in recent years, but the number is not much, few people know, of course, it will not be recorded in the flower spectrum of the previous dynasty. ”
As soon as Fang Ling said this, everyone couldn't help but suddenly realize that the flower scores that everyone read were indeed the versions of the previous dynasty, and there was no new flower spectrum promulgated in this dynasty, so it was really natural to not know.
Duan Zixuan couldn't pull his face, and snorted heavily: "You said that there is, but the ghost knows if you made up the story yourself?"
Fang Ling smiled slightly, arched his hand towards the sky, and said, "This matter involves the royal family, and making a bad statement can attract the disaster of the Nine Clans, doesn't Duan Gongzi think that I will take such a big risk to make up a story to sensationalize?"
Duan Zixuan was speechless for a moment, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he had to give up.
Everyone also felt that what Fang Ling said was not unreasonable, but Ling Xiaoran sneered on the side: "Young Master Fang is really good at tricks, it is really clever to set up a mystery with this new flower species that no one knows." ”
"Passing the award, compared to Ling Gongzi's riddle, it is far behind. Fang Ling replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
At this time, the maid in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "The matter of the impatiens really made the slave and maid grow up, so Fang Gongzi also successfully passed the test, please let the five sons who passed the test move to the second floor with the two slaves and maids." ”
Everyone followed the two maids in Tsing Yi to the upper floor, and there were five tables and chairs on the second floor, and on the table were not the four treasures of the study, but a pair of Tang chess.
Tang chess, originated from the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, the Tang Dynasty is a country that has rarely unified the earth in the history of the earth, prosperous and prosperous, deterring the Quartet, in order to remember the merits, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty invited the cabinet scholars to discuss, and finally invented a chess method, that is, the name Tang Qi.
Tang chess is divided into red and white on the board, with the log as the chess piece, and the general, phase, rook, horse, cannon, etc. as the chess name.
Because the Tang chess game is changeable, it quickly became popular in the land, even though the Tang Dynasty declined, perished, and fell apart in the end, this Tang chess has been passed down forever with the glory of the Tang Kingdom, and has become a must-learn thing for students of all generations in addition to the classics.
Chu is also extremely popular Tang chess, whether it is the common people or dignitaries, they all like to play chess, taste tea and talk about Taoism, scholars and students naturally attach great importance to Tang chess, whether it is a private school, there are special Tang chess lessons.
Seeing this Tang chess, Fang Ling felt something, his Tang chess was taught by his mother, at that time, the two were still living in the cold palace, cold and desolate day and night, no one cared about it, and after reading the classics, it was with his mother, and it was a pastime.
