Not everyone can go to the peony flower show. But this is not difficult for Yuxi. Qiyou went out for a circle and got the invitation letter for the flower show.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Ayou, I heard that there is still a link in the flower show?"
Kei Woo nodded and said, "Yes! Every year, the Kao Queen will be selected. Then, the auction will be held. Mother, if you have a fancy, let's buy it back." .
"Let's talk about it!" If there is something that moves her heart, she will definitely buy it. If not, the money will not be wasted.
The flower show is held in a place called Peony Garden. This peony garden was the residence of a former official, covering an area of more than ten acres. It's just right for a flower show.
When Yuxi waited for the people to arrive, the carriages were already parked outside. The door was also full of people.
As soon as Yuxi arrived at the entrance, he saw a young man in his early twenties greeted him: "Old lady, my father ordered me to welcome you in."
Knowing that this young man was the youngest son of the prefect of Luoyang, Qiyou said unhappily: "I didn't tell Yan Changjiu, let him leave us alone." The surname Yan did not listen to him at all. If their identities are exposed, Luoyang shouldn't stay for long.
Young Master Yan looked terrified: "Wang, the third master, my father is also afraid that someone will offend you, so let me follow." With him, no one would dare to despise Yuxi and his party.
Offended, whoever ate the bear heart leopard dared to offend them. Moreover, the guards they bring are not vegetarian.
Yuxi smiled and said to Young Master Yan's family: "Let's go in by ourselves, don't follow. If you want to follow, we won't be able to enjoy the flowers properly." Young Master Yan leads the way, fools know that their status is no longer inferior, Yuxi I don't want to deal with all kinds of people who want to cling to relationships.
Although he had the intention to brush his face in front of Yuxi and the others, Zhifu Yan also said that he must follow them and be unable to disobey them. Don't get a good impression, but rather disgust a few people.
Young Master Yan didn't entangle too much, and said, "I'm in the peony garden. If you have anything to do, you can send someone to call me."
Seeing Master Yan's so intriguing, Qiyou's expression was slightly relaxed.
This scene naturally fell in the eyes of those with a heart. When Yuxi and the others entered the peony garden, someone came up and asked, "Brother Yan, who are these people?" It is definitely not an ordinary person who is able to work to welcome young people.
Yan Shaozao prepared a speech: "This old lady is the second aunt of my elder aunt. Originally, my dad was here to accompany me today, but he was on official business and couldn’t walk away, so he asked me to accompany her to see the flower show. "The sister-in-law of Yan Zhifu is a daughter of the Weiguo Palace.
Only then did the person who asked understand why Yan Dashao came to welcome people: "I don't know why this old lady came to Luoyang?" At such a young age, it is not good to stay in the capital to take care of her life, and even travel thousands of miles to Luoyang. He didn't believe that the other party was here to enjoy the flowers.
Yan Dashao said: "She just passed by Luoyang. After seeing the flower show, she will go to Haocheng." As for what to do in Haocheng, he didn't know what to do.
As soon as they entered the garden, the group smelled a refreshing fragrance. The floral scent of peony is very strong. Yuxi is a little uncomfortable.
Going around the high wall and walking in, what you see is a pot of colorful peony flowers.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I heard that there are hundreds of varieties of peony. I don't know if we can see all of them today." Baihuayuan also grows peony, but there are not many varieties, only a dozen. These varieties are very rare.
Yuxi strolled around half of the yard and saw peony flowers in nine colors: red, white, yellow, green, deep red, and silver red. There are many varieties of flowers, and many of them are top-grade peonies, but Yuxi didn't take a fancy to them.
Qi Xuan looked at hundreds of pots of flowers and couldn't help chanting a poem: "The peony demon in front of the court is incompetent, and the lotus flower in the pond is pure and young. Only the true color of the peony can move the capital when the flowers bloom."
Qiyou said: "Brother, this poem is well written. However, this is Luoyang, not the capital."
As soon as these words fell, everyone standing not far away looked at Qiyou.
Qi Xuan said with a smile: "Die, how can I write such a good poem. This poem was written by Liu Yuxi, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, and the emperor at that time was all Luoyang."
Yuxi looked at Qiyou, and said disgustingly: "I ask you to study more books on weekdays. I don't want to live or die. Now, Luoyang is embarrassed."
Qiyou said: "That thing can't be eaten as a meal. Why do I watch it?" He was happy when he asked him to read travel notes or search for food. Let him recite poems, forget it.
At this moment, someone said to them: "Old lady, Young Master Yan said that the flower fight is about to begin. Please come and watch it."
The position has been reserved for them, it is in the first row of the guest seat. This position is only a few steps away from Douhua's long case.
The so-called bucket flower is to select the best from thousands of potted flowers, and then select a few judges to judge the ranking. The first place is Kao, and the second place is the Queen.
This time, a total of 12 pots of peonies were shortlisted, and the owners of these flowers all wanted to compete for the title of Kao.
In the first pot of peony flowers, one of the branches had purple-red and pink-white flowers, and the other branch had both purple-red and pink-white flowers.
After Qiyou finished reading it, he whispered to Yuxi, "Mother, this flower is quite strange." In the palace, he had never seen a peony flower like this.
Yuxi smiled and said, "This flower, I'm afraid it's a mutated variety." It's very strange, but Yuxi doesn't like it.
After eleven potted flowers, each pot has its own uniqueness. In particular, the royal yellow is noble and elegant, and people can't help but shift their eyes.
These flowers are very beautiful, but Yuxi sees many strange flowers and weeds, and none of them can impress her.
Qiyou said: "Mother, I think the yellow royal clothes are pretty good, or let's buy it!"
Qi Xuan felt that the twelve potted flowers were very beautiful, but he couldn't judge which one was the first.
Yuxi smiled and shook his head and said, "If you like it, then buy it."
Qiyou is only interested in eating, the other is playing. Nothing else. He said to buy this potted flower, in fact, he wanted to buy it to make Yuxi happy. Seeing that Yuxi was lacking in interest, he dismissed this idea.
After enjoying the flowers, the mother and son left.
Young Master Yan called in the people sitting behind Yuxi and asked, "Which pot of flowers did the old lady fancy?"
The man shook his head and said, "This old lady didn't take a fancy to a pot, but the third master took a fancy to Yuyihuang."
In the evening, Qiyou received the royal yellow from the Yan family.
Qiyou curled his lips and asked the person who came: "How much is it?"
The other party got the order, but dare not say it was given: "Nine hundred taels of silver."
Seeing the other party happily accepted the money, Qiyou's face looked better. For the sake of this guy's interest, I won't be held accountable for eavesdropping on their conversation.
Qi Xuan said, "Mother, shall we set off for Haocheng tomorrow?" Haocheng is only the first stop, and they are going to Yucheng next!
It's the end of May now, and it's June in Gaocheng.
The weather started to get hot in June, and he was afraid that Yuxi would not be able to bear it on the way in the hot weather.
Qiyou didn't want to say: "What's the hurry, I'm here in Luoyang without looking at the places of interest and historical sites and tasting the special snacks here. Wouldn't it be a trip in vain."
Yuxi is not interested in food, but also wants to see the places of interest here. The first stop is Longmen Mountain. There are two mountains facing each other, and the shape is like a gate, and the water of Iraq flows through it like a long dragon passing through the gate.
Looking at the flowing river, Yuxi smiled and asked Qiyou: "Do you know why Longshan is the most scenic spot in Luoyang?"
"have no idea."
Qi Xuan said: "Adi, Bai Juyi once said that the victory of the mountains and rivers in the western suburbs of Luoyang, Longmen Shouyan."
The corners of Qiyou's mouth twitched, and then quickly changed the subject: "Mother, let's go to Baima Temple to see the big iron bell tomorrow!"
Yuxi shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I want to rest. If you want to go, go!"
Upon seeing this, Qiyou said immediately: "Mother, there is a donkey meat fire and donkey meat soup in Luoyang City that are very delicious. Mother, I will take you to eat tomorrow."
No matter how gluttonous was when I was young, people in their sixties still love it so much. Yuxi also persuaded him: "Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"
"My mouth is so good, how could I break my teeth!" As I get older, I can't eat a lot of things. And this is the most depressing thing about Qiyou.
On the second day, the group went to the famous Yan's donkey meat fire shop.
The business in this shop is very good, and it is impossible to book a box one day in advance. Fortunately, four positions have been set.
When Yuxi and the others arrived the next day, everyone was seated except for the table they had set.
After sitting down, Yuxi smiled and said, "This business is really good. I want to come this time and I won't disappoint."
After sitting for a while, the donkey meat was brought up on fire. This donkey meat has a bright color on fire, which makes people appetite when they see it.
Qiyou ate a piece of donkey meat and burned it, and then exclaimed: "The meat is fragrant but not firewood, the fragrance is long, and it is soft and delicious."
After speaking, he took another sip of donkey broth. Then Qiyou said with a look of intoxication: "It's really delicious on earth."
Qiyou also ate a piece and gave a three-word evaluation after eating: "Not bad."
As for Yuxi, she just drank a bowl of donkey broth and didn't touch the donkey meat. I have a bad mouth when I am old, but I dare not eat such hard things.
After eating, the group went back. Because he ate more, Yuxi didn't let him ride in the carriage, but walked back.
After walking for a while, I saw a woman in coarse cloth, kneeling on the man in Chinese clothes and crying: "Big brother, I know I was wrong."
Facing the woman who was crying miserably, the man in Chinese clothes said with an indifferent expression: "Sister-in-law, if you keep entangled, don't blame me for being polite."
Qiyou chuckled and said, "This man's mouth is really poisonous." If this girl is really her younger sister, and she calls her like this, I think she has all the desire to die.
When the woman heard this name, her eyes were indeed desperate. But when the man turned around, she rushed over and held the other's thigh: "Big brother, I want to go home. Big brother, I beg you to take me home!"
The man in Chinese clothes wanted to kick the woman away, but it was a pity that the other party hugged too tightly. Right now, he said with a look of disgust: "Amo, send her to the government."
As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately let go of her hand. nt
