The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 2263

[Chapter 2263 Yuxi Fanwai (12)]

Oak Xi’s Extra Story (12)

The Peony Flower Show is not for everyone. But it wasn’t difficult for Oak-hee. Qiyou went out for a turn and got the invitation letter for the flower show.

Yuxi smiled and said, “You, I heard that there is also a section like fighting flowers at the flower show?”

Qiyou nodded and said, “Yes! Every year, the Kao Flower Queen will be selected. Then, the auction will be held. Mother, if you have a fancy, we will buy it back.” .

“Let’s talk about it!” If there is something that makes her excited, she will definitely buy it. If not, don’t waste the money.

The flower show was held in a place called Peony Garden. This Peony Garden was the residence of a high-ranking official in the former dynasty, covering an area of more than ten acres. Perfect for a flower show.

When Oak-hee and the others arrived, the carriages were already parked outside. The door was also full of people.

As soon as Yuxi arrived at the entrance, she saw a young man in his early twenties greet him: “Old Madam, my father ordered me to welcome you all in.”

Knowing that this young man is the youngest son of the prefect of Luoyang, Qiyou said unhappily, “I didn’t tell Yan Changjiu to let him leave us alone.” The surnamed Yan didn’t listen to his words at all. If their identities are exposed, Luoyang should not stay for a long time.

Young Master Yan’s face showed fear: “Wang, Third Master, my father is also afraid that someone will offend you, so let me follow.” With him around, no one dared to despise Yuxi and his party.

Offended, whoever eats the bear heart leopard dares to offend them. Moreover, the guards they brought were not vegetarians.

Yuxi smiled and said to Young Master Yan: “We go in by ourselves, don’t follow. If you follow, we won’t be able to enjoy the flowers properly.” Young Master Yan led the way, even the fools knew that their status was not low, Yuxi I don’t want to deal with all kinds of people who want to cling to the relationship.

Although he was intent on brushing his face in front of Yuxi and the others, Yan Zhifu also said that he must follow their wishes and not go against their wishes. Don’t get the good impression, but it provokes a few people to hate it.

Yan Dashao didn’t bother too much and said, “I’m in the Peony Garden. If you have anything, you can send someone to call me.”

Seeing that Young Master Yan is so interesting, Qiyou’s face relaxed a little.

This scene naturally fell in the eyes of the caring people. When Yuxi and the others entered the Peony Garden, someone came up and asked, “Brother Yan, who are these people?” Young Master Yan who can work to greet him is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yan Shaozao prepared a speech: “This old lady is the second aunt of my aunt’s family. Originally, my father wanted to accompany her today, but he was unable to leave due to official business, so he asked me to accompany her to watch the flower show. .” Yan Zhifu’s eldest sister-in-law is the daughter-in-law of Duke Wei’s residence.

Only then did the person who asked him understand why Yan Dashao came to greet him: “I don’t know why this old lady came to Luoyang?” After such an old age, he didn’t stay in the capital to take care of his life, so he traveled thousands of miles to Luoyang. He didn’t believe that the other party came 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 is not clear.

As soon as they entered the garden, the group could smell a refreshing fragrance. The fragrance of peony is very strong. Oak-hee was not used to it.

Walking around the high wall, you will see pots of brightly colored peonies.

Yuxi smiled and said, “I heard that there are hundreds of varieties of peonies. I don’t know if I can see all of them today.” Baihuayuan also planted peonies, but there are not many varieties, only more than ten. These varieties are very expensive.

Oak-hee strolled halfway around the yard and saw nine colors of peonies, including red, white, yellow, green, deep red, and silver red. There are many varieties of flowers, including high-quality peonies, but Yuxi didn’t like a single one.

Looking at the hundreds of pots of flowers, Qi Xuan couldn’t help but sing a poem: “The peony demon in front of the court is incomparable, and the pond is pure and innocent. Only the peony is the true color of the country, and it moves the capital when the flowers are blooming.”

Qiyou said: “Third brother, this poem is well written. However, this is Luoyang, not the capital.”

As soon as these words fell, the people standing not far from them all looked at Qiyou.

Qi Xuan said with a smile, “Adi, how could I write such a good poem. This poem was written by Liu Yuxi, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. The emperor at that time was Luoyang.”

Yuxi looked at Qiyou, and said with disgust, “I don’t want to let you study more books on weekdays, but I don’t want to live or die. Now, I’ve lost face in Luoyang.”

Qiyou said: “That thing can’t be eaten as food, why should I watch it?” Asking him to read travel notes or search for food, he enjoyed it. Let him memorize poems, or forget it.

At this time, a servant said to them: “Old Madam, Young Master Yan said that the flower fight is about to start, please come and watch.”

The seat has been reserved for them, in the first row of the guest seat. This location is only a few steps away from Douhua’s long case.

The so-called Douhua is to select the best from thousands of potted flowers, and then select several judges to judge the ranking. The first is Kao, and the second is Queen of Flowers.

This time, a total of twelve pots of peony flowers were shortlisted, and the owners of these flowers all wanted to compete for the title of Kao.

The first pot of peony flowers was brought up. 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 read it, Yuxi and Yuxi whispered: “Mother, this flower is quite strange.” Anyway, in the palace, he had never seen a peony flower like this again.

Yu Xi smiled and said, “I’m afraid this flower is a mutated variety.” It was strange, but Yu Xi didn’t like it.

After the eleven pots of flowers, each pot has its own uniqueness. In particular, the royal yellow, noble and elegant, people can’t help but look away.

These flowers were all beautiful, but Yuxi saw so many exotic flowers and plants that none of them could impress her.

Qiyou said: “Mother, I think that pot of Yuyi Huang is good, why don’t we buy it!”

Qi Xuan thought that the twelve potted flowers were all beautiful, but if it was him, he would not be able to evaluate which one was number one.

Oak Xi smiled and shook his head, “If you like it, buy it.”

Qiyou is only interested in eating, and the other is playing. Others don’t care. He said that when he bought this pot of flowers, he actually wanted to buy it to make Yuxi happy. Seeing Yuxi’s lack of interest, he dismissed the idea.

After viewing the flowers, the mother and son left.

Dashao Yan summoned the people sitting behind Yuxi and asked, “Which pot did the old lady like?”

The man shook his head and said, “This old lady didn’t like a single pot, but the third master liked Yuyihuang.”

In the evening, Qiyou received the royal yellow dress from the young master of the Yan family.

Qiyou pouted and asked the visitor, “How much?”

The other party was instructed and dared not say it was a gift: “Nine hundred taels of silver.”

Seeing that the other party took the money readily, Qiyou’s face looked better. For the sake of this guy’s sense of interest, the matter of eavesdropping on their conversation will not be investigated.

Qi Xuan said: “Mother, are we going to Haocheng tomorrow?” Haocheng is only the first stop, and they will go to Yucheng next!

It is now the end of May, and it will be June to Haocheng.

The weather started to get hot in June, and he was afraid that Oak-hee would be unable to bear the heat on the road.

Qiyou was reluctant: “What’s the hurry, come to Luoyang and don’t look at the places of interest here and taste the special snacks here, wouldn’t it be in vain.”

Oak-hee wasn’t interested in food, but he wanted to see the places of interest here. The first stop is Longmen Mountain.

The two mountains of Longmen Mountain stand facing each other, shaped like a gate, and the Yishui 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 in Luoyang?”

“have no idea.”

Qi Xuan said, “A-di, Bai Juyi once said that the victory of the mountains and rivers in the western suburbs of Luoyang is the head of the Dragon Gate.”

The corner of Qiyou’s mouth twitched, and then he quickly changed the subject: “Mother, let’s go to the White Horse Temple tomorrow to see the big iron bell!”

Qiyou said: “Mother, it is said that this bell has the same rhythm as the bell on the bell tower of Luoyang East Street and can resonate. When people hear the bell of Baima Temple, they can hear the bell on the bell tower of Luoyang City. It also rang. Mother, there is a popular saying in the folk that “the bell in the east will ring in the west, and the bell in the west will ring in the east.” Of course, the incense of the White Horse Temple is also very prosperous. However, both brothers knew that Oak-hee never asked God to worship Buddha, so they didn’t mention it.

Oak Xi was not interested in going to the temple, and shook his head: “You can go if you want, I won’t go.”

Seeing this, Qiyou immediately said: “Mother, there is a special delicious donkey meat in Luoyang city. Mother, I will take you to eat tomorrow.”

It’s okay to be greedy when you were a child. People in their 60s still love to eat so much, Yuxi is speechless: “Aren’t you afraid of breaking your teeth?”

“My teeth are so good, how can I break my teeth!” As I get older, I can’t eat a lot of things. And this is the most depressing thing for Qiyou.

On the second day, the group went to this famous Yanjia donkey meat fire shop.

The business of this store is very good, and it is impossible to book a box one day in advance. Fortunately, a table was set. .

When Oak-hee and the others arrived the next day, except for the table they had reserved, everyone else was seated.

After sitting down, Oak Xi smiled and said, “This business is really good. If you want to come here this time, you won’t be disappointed.”

After sitting for more than a quarter of an hour, the donkey meat was served on fire. This donkey meat is burnt with bright color, which makes people have an appetite.

Qiyou ate a piece, and then praised: “The meat is fragrant but not woody, the fragrance is lingering, and it is soft and palatable.”

After speaking, he drank another mouthful of donkey broth. Then, Qiyou said with an intoxicated face: “It’s really delicious in this world.”

Qiyou also ate a piece and was full of praise.

As for Oak-hee, she just drank a bowl of donkey meat soup, and the donkey meat was burned without touching it. As I get older, I have bad teeth, but I dare not eat this thing.

After eating, the group went back. Oak-hee didn’t let him ride the carriage because he ate a lot, but walked back.

After walking for a while, I saw a woman in coarse clothes, kneeling in front of a man in Chinese clothes and crying, “Brother, I know I’m wrong, I really know I’m wrong.”

Facing the woman who was crying miserably, the man in Huafu said indifferently, “Sister-in-law, if you keep entangled, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Qiyou chuckled, “This man’s mouth is really poisonous.” If this woman was really her sister, she would probably want to die if she called her like that.

When the woman heard this title, her eyes really showed despair. But when the man turned around, she rushed over and hugged his thigh: “Brother, I have been thinking about my parents, you and my second brother all these years. Brother, I beg you, take me home!”

Hearing this, the man in Chinese clothing couldn’t help showing hatred in his eyes, and then kicked the woman away: “Amo, send her to the government.”

As soon as the woman heard this, she immediately released her hand.
