Du Shenfei and the calf washed their faces, lay on the bed and fell asleep for a while. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info didn't know how long he slept, Wang Zaqing came to call the two of them to eat.

Everyone came downstairs, and saw that all the people in the hall were gone. The calf was taken aback and said, "Have we changed the hotel again?" ”

Wang Zaqing pointed to the chrysanthemum picture hanging on the wall of the lobby, and said with a smile: "Brother Niu, the inn has not been changed, you see that the chrysanthemum picture is all there." It's just that you've been asleep for nearly an hour. Everyone else had already finished eating and gone to bed. ”

The calf yawned first, looked at the "Chrysanthemum Lying Cat", and smiled: "I really haven't changed it." ”

Everyone really ordered local famous dishes such as Lushan stone chicken, stone fish scrambled eggs, Jin Xiangyu, and four-star moon-gazing. After a few glasses of the hotel's self-brewed famous wine "Yujiu", Wang Zaqing stared at the "Chrysanthemum Lying Cat" on the wall, and he was really fascinated.

The calf stretched out his slap first, shook it in front of Wang Zaqing's eyes, and said, "Old Wang, what are you doing in a daze?"

Wang Zaqing said with a smile: "Let's take a look at this "Chrysanthemum Lying Cat", guess which place is this chrysanthemum?"

Du Shenfei, Niu Lixian, Xie Youlong, and Xiaosi all stared at the chrysanthemum. Du Shenfei shook his head and said, "I really can't see it, what kind of chrysanthemum is this?"

Wang Zaqing said, "Mr. Xie, can you see it?"

Xie Youlong looked at it carefully, put his hand on the table, muttered for a while, and said: "The four famous chrysanthemums in China are Gong Ju, Hang Ju, Chu Ju, and Bo Ju. In the painting, the chrysanthemum is scattered, the flower shape is oblate and spherical, and the petals are tight. You see it, the tongue-shaped flowers are dense and white, and they are curled towards the center of the flower, and the tubular flowers are yellow and exposed. After thinking about it again, he continued: "I think this should be Chuju, which is mainly produced in Chuzhou. ”

Wang Zaqing laughed and said: "What Mr. said is very true, this flower is Chu Ju. Chuju is known as "golden heart jade petal, Cuidi heavenly fragrance" reputation. You can see that the tongue-shaped flowers around it are white, and the tubular flowers in the middle are yellow, which is exactly the characteristics of the 'golden heart and jade petals'. ”

Du Shenfei also felt novelty when he heard it, and he firmly remembered it in his heart. Niu Xian and Xiao Si didn't know what to do.

Wang Zaqing smiled, pointed to the painting and asked, "Tell me, what time of day is this painting?"

Everyone looked at it, and the paintings were all of this kind of chrysanthemums, and there was no rain or sunshine, and the calf said first: "It's daytime." ”

Xie Youlong also smiled: "The calf is right, guess what time of day it is?"

Du Shenfei said suddenly: "I think it's noon." ”

Wang Zaqing laughed and said, "How can Brother Du see that it's noon." ”

Du Shenfei said with a smile: "I look at the cat under the chrysanthemum branch in the painting, its eyes are narrowed into a black line, so it is noon, when the sun is the strongest." ”

Xie Youlong and Wang Zaqing both laughed. Xie Youlong said: "This is exactly what the ancients meant. ”

Wang Zaqing said: "The 'Jade-faced Demon Flower' also has a big inscription on the door of the 'Jade-faced Demon Flower' Huangchao "Chrysanthemum Poem", have you seen it?"

Du Shenfei said: "It's the sentence 'I kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom'." ”

Xie Youlong said: "I didn't see it, I hung it on the horse and went in sideways, and I rode out on my horse, and I didn't dare to look at it." ”

The crowd laughed.

Wang Zaqing said: "Huang Chao's "Chrysanthemum Poem" is really heroic. After speaking, he slowly groaned: "When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom." The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. ”

Xie Youlong said: "But this poem was written after the defeat of Huangchao Science Field. ”

Xie Youlong and Wang Zaqing's behavior was to go to Lin'an to participate in the spring exam. Wang Zaqing seemed to feel that this topic was a little inappropriate, and said: "There are no chrysanthemums in the world, only Huangzhou chrysanthemums have petals." The poem "Yongdai" by Wang Jinggong is passed down from generation to generation, which has two sentences: "The wind and rain pass through the garden at dusk, and the yellow flowers are blown all over the gold", Su Dongpo saw it, and in the follow-up two sentences, saying that it is "autumn flowers are not better than spring flowers, and they are carefully chanted for the poet." Therefore, he offended Wang Jinggong and demoted Dongpo bachelor to Huangzhou to see chrysanthemums. Later, Su Dongpo saw that the chrysanthemums in Huangzhou really fell petals, so he was ashamed of Jing Gong. ”

Xie Youlong listened to it and said with a smile: "Some people say that this matter is Wang Jinggong's poem "Remnant Chrysanthemum", and there are two sentences of 'The wind and rain hit the garden at dusk, and the remnant chrysanthemum floats all over the gold'. Ouyang Xiu saw it, and also wrote two sentences at the end, 'Autumn flowers are not better than spring flowers, take a closer look at them for the poet'. Jing Gong asked him, and said, 'Don't you hear the cloud of "Chu Ci" 'Evening Meal Autumn Chrysanthemum'?" ”

Wang Zaqing said with a smile: "This matter may have been originally between Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu, and later attached to Su Dongpo, or it may have been originally a matter between Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo and pretended to be entrusted to Ouyang Xiu, and there is no way to verify it so far." ”

Xie Youlong laughed and said: "Exactly, but I want to ask you, do you think the Huangzhou chrysanthemum will really fall petals?"

Wang Zaqing said: "The words of the predecessors should not be wrong. I think it's going to fall off. ”

Xie Youlong said: "In my opinion, Su Dongpo or Ouyang Xiu's continuation of Wang Anshi's poems seems to be pure fiction. ”

Wang Zaqing was surprised: "How can it be seen that it is fictional?"

Xie Youlong said: "Huangzhou chrysanthemums, and chrysanthemums elsewhere are general, after the chrysanthemum blooms, it gradually withers and withers, and only a single petal purple chrysanthemum occasionally falls a few petals. ”

Wang Zaqing obviously couldn't believe it: "How did Mr. know?"

Xie Youlong said with a smile: "Because my hometown is originally from Huangzhou, I have spent more than ten years there. That's why I know that the Huangzhou chrysanthemum petals are not credible. Seeing that everyone seemed to believe it or not, he said: "There is a sentence in the preface of the "Chrysanthemum Spectrum": 'There are those who fall into flowers, and there are those who do not fall.'" The one who falls from the clouds is covered with a single petal'. But it is rumored that the matter of Wang Anshi and Su Dongpo is that the chrysanthemums in Huangzhou have been scattered all over the ground. ”

Du Shenfei asked curiously: "Sir, what kind of flowers fall petals, and what flowers don't fall petals?"

Xie Youlong said: "I have been in the Tiger Wolf Valley for more than ten years. A conclusion is obtained, that is: the petals of the flowers in spring, the flowers of autumn, the petals that bear fruit, the flowers that do not bear fruit, the petals that have whiskers, the petals that do not have whiskers, the petals that are sparse, the petals that are dense, the petals that are not obvious, the petals that are richly scented, the petals that come out of five, and the flowers that come out of six. This has not been mentioned before, although there are very few exceptions, but there is probably no such rule. ”

When Du Shenfei, Wang Zaqing and others heard it, they all felt that this thing was novel.

Several people are talking about joy. The shopkeeper of the "Fragrance Building" also heard everyone talking, and hurriedly came over and said: "Listening to the words of the guest officials, they must all be well-educated and romantic. Although it is vulgar, it also loves to be elegant. I hope that a few people can write a few sentences for the next inscription, as a family heirloom, I would be grateful. Tonight's table of dishes is a little bit of a thought. I don't know if a few people are willing to appreciate their faces?"

Wang Zaqing laughed and said, "Okay! Since you can be exempted from the order, please ask the shopkeeper to bring a pen and paper." ”
