Chapter 361 Chrysanthemum Garden Chrysanthemum House Chrysanthemum Sea
September 29th, the sky is high and the air is refreshing, and it is autumn.
Baicaoshi took Lilac and went to the Chrysanthemum Garden.
In fact, I really want to bring red koji. On such an occasion, there are so many flowers and bustling, I think I would like it, but Hong koji refused. The reason is not clearly stated, but Baicao Poetry can think of it. It takes time to change a person's inner confidence.
The Chrysanthemum Garden is located in the west of the imperial city. It was also part of the royal garden in the early years, but it was opened later, and the children of celebrities and aristocratic families can visit it. And because of the twice-yearly Chrysanthemum Appreciation Festival: the Jiujiu Chongyang Chrysanthemum Fair and the 29th Evening Chrysanthemum Fair, the Chrysanthemum Garden is more famous than other royal gardens.
Before the carriage reached the Chrysanthemum Garden, it was already difficult to move.
There is no other reason, too many people came. The noble ladies who usually don't leave the door and don't walk twice seem to be mobilized. There are also some young men in the meantime.
Du Zhong shouted into the car, "Madam, I'm afraid I will have to walk next."
Walk for a walk, get some fresh air, then Baicaoshi and Dingxiang get off the car.
Ding Xiang held a basket in her arms, because Baicao Shi gave her an order to harvest the basket today. She didn't know if this was in line with the rules, so she was a little apprehensive.
At the entrance, there are ladders and shelves, forming a chrysanthemum archway. Baicaoshi roughly counted, and there are seven or eight kinds of light colors. This archway contains at least ten varieties of chrysanthemums.
An archway shows that there are many varieties of chrysanthemums.
At the entrance, there are guards guarding, verifying identities and letters.
Baicaoshi realized one thing, the eldest princess only invited her verbally, and did not give proof.
Everyone is here, you have to give it a try. She can't wait to pick chrysanthemums... oh no, it's time to appreciate chrysanthemums.
"Stop, please show the letter of invitation." The guard followed the rules.
Baicaoshi smiled lightly and told the truth. "I was invited by someone to attend the Chrysanthemum Fair. The person who invited didn't give me any letter."
The guard said with a cold face, "Then you can't let it go. Or you can go in after the person who invited you arrives."
Baicaoshi looked forward to the garden, looking forward to the early arrival of the eldest princess.
This book is nothing, but the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on blowing. There was a woman whispering next to her.
"Which family does this belong to? We've never seen it before."
"To attend this kind of occasion, you need a letter or a chapter. If you haven't, you still want to enter. Could it be that you have been blinded by eating lard, and you heard that the prince and the sons of the family are coming, and they came to catch the rich man?"
"It can't be said that it is the concubine's daughter or illegitimate child of some minister."
Baicao Poetry: "...what?"
She came to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Party, not the blind date meeting. Which rich son-in-law can compare to Zhe Yu? But she didn't care about these people, so she couldn't do it.
Suddenly heard giggles, Baicaoshi looked along the sound, it was the Princess Qi and the Eighth Princess Ying Zheyun whom she had met a few days ago. Several women greeted Princess Qi.
Princess Qi raised her hand to signal, saw Baicao Poetry, the corner of her mouth twitched,
The stench of copper has spread to the Chrysanthemum Garden.
"What you said is wrong. I think which merchant's daughter this is? Didn't you want to buy a shop a few days ago?"
As the so-called scholars, farmers, businessmen and merchants are at the bottom, they are not qualified to attend this kind of high-class gathering.
Those women even more sneered at Baicao Poetry.
Baicaoshi smiled calmly. Regarding the matter of starting a business, she has been staying behind the scenes, and she doesn't want to be known. She is afraid that Zhe Yu's official career will be bad. "Madam, how do you know that I am the daughter of a merchant, and I still want to buy a shop? It seems that Madam often visits shops on weekdays. I always thought that women from aristocratic families do not go out of the door."
Princess Qi: "..."
Baicaoshi went on to say: "I see that your clothes are gorgeous, but they are not belongings in the palace. Let me guess whether it is Yueshuangtong, Mu Huajin, or Fei Tilan. Is it because I want to choose it in the elegant market?" The person you like, go shopping in the streets and alleys to buy clothes?"
When others satirized her, Baicaoshi took it back intact.
"You really don't know good from bad." Ying Zheyun said bitterly.
Chrysanthemum Club is full of people coming and going, and many people have already entered. Another carriage drove up, and the curtain parted to reveal a well-kept hand.
Following that, a person came down from the carriage, stepped forward and took Baicaoshi's hand, and said to the guard, "It's the person I made an appointment with. I was negligent and forgot to give the letter. Can I go through?"
Baicaoshi recognized the person, Princess Xun.
Since the last incident in Wanzhou, Baicaoshi hasn't seen Princess Xun for several months. The guard repeatedly said yes.
In this way, Baicaoshi successfully entered the Chrysanthemum Garden.
Princess Qi looked at their backs, and the fierce light in her eyes flashed away.
The chrysanthemum garden occupies a very large area. A large area of ornamental chrysanthemums came into view, just like a sea of chrysanthemums, and Baicaoshi suddenly couldn't move.
"Do you know what breeds these are?" she asked.
Ding Xiang and Ju looked at each other with big eyes and smiled, "Hua Huhu Hu Lao Hua, she knows me, but I don't know her."
Baicao Poetry: "..."
Can't tell, Ding Xiang still has the potential of the second grade.
She doesn't understand, she has her own experts. Princess Xun pointed casually: "Look at Shishi, the lotus chamber with its yellow and white pistils is called 'Wanling Ju', the pink one is called 'Peach Blossom Chrysanthemum', the white sandalwood heart is called 'Wood Fragrant Chrysanthemum', and the yellow and round one is called 'Wooden Chrysanthemum'. It is called 'Jinling Ju', and the pure white and big one is called 'Xi Rong Ju."
The ancient characters are extensive and profound, with five kinds of flowers, and the reputation is novel and moving.
At this time, Plantaginis woke up in the sea of consciousness. "Dear host, these are rare varieties. If you pick them up, you can not only redeem points, but also keep some for your own use, making chrysanthemum tea and chrysanthemum wine. Why not do it?"
Baicaoshi was moved and eager to try.
"Princess, you know me, I can't stand the noise of people, so I'll just enjoy the flowers here."
Princess Xun said, "Shishi, there are still many chrysanthemums waiting for you to appreciate."
Don't give up the whole forest just for one leaf.
Baicaoshi understands that there are not only these types of chrysanthemum gardens, but they are their own when they are picked. Flowers will fade when they bloom, and they are only valuable if they are brewed into tea or wine.
"Princess, please go in first. I will find you when I go in."
Princess Xun didn't hesitate and left first.
Herborist gave Lilac a color and walked deep into the chrysanthemum field.
Ding Xiang tremblingly picked a chrysanthemum and put it in the basket.
Seeing that she was distracted, Baicaoshi started her own harvest. Her chrysanthemums are packed into the space, which is equivalent to the capacity of two sorting boxes, and the harvest is full.
Suddenly straightened up, and saw a woman walking forward surrounded by the crowd. There is also the high-pitched voice of the father-in-law: "The eldest princess is here!"
Not only are people coming, she is also wearing the most shocking costumes.
The warm white, elegant blue and white, and the flying red bird, when these meet with the cheongsam, reflect the graceful figure of the eldest princess. At that moment, she seemed to hold Dayan's fashion code.
The woman's eyes rest on her body. There was light in the man's eyes.
As for the chrysanthemum that appeared above, it is quoted from the "Tokyo Menghua Volume" written by Meng Yuanlao, a scholar of the Song Dynasty.
