Chapter 107 Peony

Yuan Xiu looked at the invitation in front of her, which was different from the fragrance on the invitation she received last time. On this invitation, it clearly emitted a faint fragrance. The fragrance of Tushu is strong, immersed in the ground, and even the earth and stone will bring a long-lasting fragrance. Although the taste on this invitation is light, it is very pure. It is very different from the awe-inspiring killing.

When Cai Lan saw Xue's absence, he approached her and whispered, "Is the A family really going? But Goro doesn't like the Du family very much.

"If you don't talk too much, how can he know?" Yuan Xiu looked at her and immediately stopped talking.

She hid the invitation in her sleeve and warned, "At that time, I will leave the palace in advance in the name of praying for my mother, and then dress up as a Taoist boy in Qing Wangguan. None of you are allowed to say anything!"

The blue picking and the green grinding ink next to it are obedient.

As soon as Yuan Xiu finished scaring, Xue also took a post and quickly walked in: "Jiu Niang, what do you think this is?"

"A post posted by Uncle Lu himself?" Yuan Xiu took over the words and swept it in a hurry and was surprised, "Is the fire alchemy in his house open?"

In this dynasty, there is a peony demon in front of the court, and there is no love in the pool. Only the peony is the true national color, and the emperor's capital can be seen when the flowers bloom, which shows the status of peony. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, Song Shan's father was summoned to plant more than 10,000 peonies in Lishan. The colors are different, and you can imagine the grand scenery.

Every year when the peony is in full bloom, there will be peony flowers in all cities in Guanzhong, which will continue for nearly a month. From the first bloom of the peony to the end of the peony flowers, the flower farmers will take out the carefully cultivated seedlings to compete for beauty. A rare and strange color. Under the pursuit of the nobles of rich families, it often needs pearls to buy it, showing the luxury of Guanzhong. Qi.

Flowers are especially popular in both east and west. Even in the palaces of Guanzhong, there are many rare varieties planted, so that people can look at them and prevent them from disease.

Now it is April, and when the flower party is about to begin, the fire alchemy elixir in Li Mu's mansion, the king of Lu, was specially sent to the Luoyang flower fair last year to ask for a high price. This peony originally came from Qianxi Temple near Luoyang Laojun Cave. It is in full swing. From afar, it looks like a burning haze. His original name is Qianxi Fei, the so-called fire alchemy elixir. However, some people think that the character is not enough to describe its gorgeous color. Only the brilliant brilliance of the old king's nine-turned fairy elixir can be compared, so it has been changed to fire alchemy.

After getting it, King Lu rushed back to Chang'an from Luoyang Pegasus. After planting in the royal palace, he sent special personnel to take care of them. This year, the flowers bloomed early and were overjoyed. With the rise, he posted to everyone and invited people to enjoy it together.

"This year's flower meeting will not start until five days later. Uncle Lu is anxious to post, and I don't know how many fire alchemy pills have opened?" Yuanxiu grew up in the court and also has a natural love for such a prosperous and luxurious Huimu as peony. Counting the days, it has a taste. "I heard that the fire alchemy is the most red one among peonies. This flower comes from Luoyang. It has not been introduced in previous years. I haven't seen it yet, but I don't know how much as the red bone is red and the first case is red, and the green dragon lying in the ink pool. How about cage purple?"

"The red of the scorch bone is not enough. In the first case, the red is said to be red, but in fact, it is purple. The last two things mentioned by Jiu Niang are almost black, but they are not as bright as the fire alchemy, which is a little darker." Xue galloped on the plain when she was a teenager, and Luoyang Flower Club also ran to see it, but she saw much more than Yuan Xiu. Hearing the words, she introduced it for her, "When the fire alchemy is in full bloom, the brilliance is like a bright glow burning. Even if the firelight is not as good as the side, Jiu Niang still has to see it to understand it."

Hearing this, Yuan Xiu clapped his hands and said, "If there is a white night light on its side and fights with red and white, won't it be more and more amazing?"

Nightlight white, also known as Kunlun nightlight, also known as moonlight white, is also one of the rare species. When it blooms, the flowers are snow-white, crystal clear, like the top of Kunlun snow, the petals are several times shining, fragrant and pleasant, and born alien. Even under the moon, you can see its transparent frost color. This kind of peony is planted in the Daming Palace. In previous years, peony When it is in full bloom, it is often folded by the palace concubine to match the beautiful colored dress.

"King Lu doesn't like plain peonies. In addition to the fire alchemy pills bought from Luoyang at a high price last year, he also bought such as Gefuzi, Guanshi Moyu and Yuyihuang in previous years. The most vegetarian kind is the coral platform!" Xue smiled and said, "Otherwise, you can try it together this year, or go back to ask King Lu to plant some seedlings in the Ming Palace next year. If it is alive, move them to the Pearl Mirror Hall to see."

Yuan Xiu nodded and said, "That's why I didn't want Uncle Lu for anything, so as not to make him embarrassed. I remember that there were bean green peonies in the palace, which were bred by Song Shan's father at the beginning. Song Shan's father was ordered by Emperor Xuanzong to plant ten thousand kinds of peonies in Lishan with different colors, among which green is also rare. Later, because of the chaos of the two thieves in Anshi, Guanzhong suffered several times. Those Peony was destroyed by the chaos. Now there is only one plant left in the world. Because it was planted in a secluded corner, it survived. Uncle Lu was definitely willing to go to Penglai Hall to talk to the fifth sister-in-law and let people go to exchange some flower seedlings with Uncle Lu.

"The bean green peony can't move!" Xue reminded, "How many people, including the eldest princess of Jiashan, have asked for this plant but didn't get it. What does Jiu Niang think? In previous years, although the governments would not go to the market to compare in person, they had to fight with each other at this time. Even if this is the case in the palace, this bean green peony planted by Song Shan's father alone can win. If it is divided, it will be good this year. In case the Lu Palace is planted alive, even if he does not give it to others, the palace will not be in the future. What can I do if I can be unique?

Yuan Xiu said with surprise, "Is there anything else? I'm tired of wearing it!"

"In previous years, when Jiu Niang went to various prefectures to attend the peony flower meeting, I always advise you to hairpin green peonies. What do you think Jiu Niang thinks is for?" Xue said anly, "Jiu Niang is intelligent, but she has never paid attention to these things, such as Jian Xianhong and Er Qiao. Although it is precious for ordinary flower farmers, it is not too rare among the expected clans. Only this bean green peony is unique in the palace, that is, there are not many people in the Wulang harem today. This year, about everyone can wear it. In previous years, like Emperor Huaizong, the position was almost full. In addition to many princesses, only a few favored concubines could be divided. Jiu Niang is not rare - do you know that even if you are a golden branch and jade leaf, once it falls, you can't wear it unless it is specially given in the palace!"

Yuanxiu recalled with a smile, "I remember that when I was a child, I could wear this most of the hairpin flowers. I've been tired of it for a long time. That year, I saw a beautiful blue jade on my cousin's temples. I was happy for several days when you didn't pay attention to changing it with her."

"Don't be so stupid this year." Xue said anko and ordered to pick green, "King Lu's good peonies and beautiful jade. You go to open Jiu Niang's private library to see if there are two jades that are tight and good textures. Go back and discuss with King Lu in private to see if you can change them?"

Well, I wanted to find out the peony varieties that were only available in the Tang Dynasty, but I was exhausted and didn't find too accurate information.

It's written like this. There are several varieties in it. I know that they were only available in the Song Dynasty, but I don't know much about flowers and trees, so I just took all the photos as the Tang Dynasty.

Well, I said that this is overhead, otherwise obsessive-compulsive disorder will come up, and you can't think about it today...

Now go to code old books... It's a pity that both books have been updated...
