    Jiuling got excited about playing, but Xing'er disappeared.  I don't know if she vomited the wine, or slipped away because she was too drunk.

    Without Xing'er during the banquet, the lively atmosphere was naturally missing.  Jiemusi got up and left the table, walked to the courtyard, and everyone followed closely behind, admiring the scenery of late spring together with Jiemusi.

    [1] Wang Xin's Poem "A Walk on the Stream in Mid-Spring"

    The peaches outside the bamboo are extraordinarily bright,

    A branch was broken so that it went around the stream.

    No one knows who the spring breeze is,

    Butterflies fly to fight for flowers.

    Turning around six or seven peach blossoms and going north along the "Qushui Liushang" is the "Mei Garden".

    In late spring, the plum garden is full of orchids.  Jiexisi stared at a bluegrass with small white flowers blooming on the stem.  The little flower gradually stretched and opened, and the five petals competed to bloom, like a girl's smiling face, so cute.  The green flower stems are set off under the white flowers. From a distance, it looks like a small raft covered with sparse white snow, which is very beautiful.

    Jiemusi sighed: "No wonder, some people call it 'Ice Muscle, Jade Bones and High Virtue'!" He gave Hui Lan a loving look, "It really looks like our Lan'er."

    Cymbidium smiled beautifully.

    Jiexi asked, "You planted them all?"

    Hui Lan said, "Yes, Uncle."

    Jiexisi asked again: "What's the name of this kind of bluegrass?"

    Hui Lan explained, "This is called Su Xinlan. At this time, only it blooms the most beautifully."

    Jiemusi said with a smile: "Don't put your mind on these flowers and plants, you should also think about your own marriage."

    "Uncle, what are you talking about~" Hui Lan was instantly shy.

    Jie Xingsi said again: "There's nothing to be shy about. There is a saying that 'a man should marry when he is a college student, and a woman should be married if he is a college student'. You see, even that heartless Xue Xing'er knows that she is looking for her husband's family.  Shouldn't you also hold on tighter, you can't let your sister take the lead!"

    Yu Tian said with a smile: "Even if I take off my shoes and chase after her, I don't think I can catch up with Xing'er. Doesn't Yuanzhang want to hold a wedding at the end of March!"

    But Qingwan asked: "Uncle, can my second sister find her husband's house by herself?"

    "Her?" Jie Xunsi said, "Well, how can that be done! Since ancient times, marriage matters have always been "ordered by parents and said by matchmakers". How can she find out by herself?"

    Qingwan asked again: "Why can the third sister do it, but the second sister can't?"

    "Your third sister, your third sister" Jiexi was at a loss for words for a while, he glanced at Wang Mian, and said with a smile, "You know, how I persuaded your father"

    Qingwan asked: "How do you say that?"

    Jiemusi said with a smile: "I said, Yannian, now someone wants to marry your third girl, so don't hold on to it. People say that you will do things in March, and you promise to do it in March. Wouldn't it be fun?  You say you, always procrastinating like this, what if Yuanzhang regrets it, what should you do? Why don't you just smash it into your hands!"

    These words of Jiexisi made everyone laugh.

    Jiexisi looked at the small bamboo building and asked Huilan, "Do you live here in summer?"

    "Yes, uncle." Cymbidium responded readily.

    Jiexisi asked: "Can I go up and have a look?"

    Hui Lan said: "Of course."

    Jiexisi walked upstairs, and a group of people followed him up the stairs.  Turning around the corner of the stairs, seeing Wang Mian coming up, he smiled and said, "Yuanzhang, your aunt's embroidery room, so don't follow me up."

    Wang Mian smiled awkwardly, and stopped in his tracks.

    Entering the second floor, facing Hui Lan's living room and study.

    I saw four large characters written by Huilan herself on the opposite wall - Shi Yalan Xiang.  In the elegant room, orchids are in full bloom, and the fragrance is overflowing, and the room is filled with warmth, harmony, and comfort.

    Everyone looked for stools and chairs to sit down, and the maids rushed to the fragrant tea.

    On the wall next to the desk, there is a "Orchid Sketch" painted by Wang Mian, with a couplet written in the upper right corner: Orchids enter the elegant room, and the poems are meditated.

    Jiexisi was fascinated, and Huilan hurriedly asked, "Uncle, don't you think there is something missing in my hut?"

    "What's missing," Jiexisi teased her deliberately, "Mr. Ruyi?"

    "Hey~" Hui Lan shyly turned her face away, "Uncle is talking nonsense~"

    "Lan'er is thin-skinned and can't take jokes." Yu Tian hurriedly said, "You haven't written a letter or something for others, so hurry up and make up for it?"

    "Uh~uh, I'll write it now, I'll write it now." Jie Meisi got up and went to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a poem "Chunlan":

    deep?, Jianlan, Molan and Hanlan, etc., which are commonly referred to as "Chinese orchids".  This type of orchid is quite different from the tropical orchids with large and colorful flowers. It has no eye-catching beauty, no huge flowers and leaves, but it has a simple, quiet, elegant and clean temperament, which is very in line with the aesthetic standards of the oriental people. It is popular in China.  More than a thousand years of cultivation history.

    The distinction between orchid grass: one flower is called orchid, and many flowers are called hui.

    The ancients said that a stalk of nine flowers is a cymbidium, and it is also called a cymbidium instead of a cymbidium.  For example, "Hui" includes: the traditional Chinese Cymbidium is Hui; Jianlan, which blooms in autumn, is also called "Qiuhui";  "Wait for Cymbidium.  Cymbidium, the Chinese orchid, is the representative of Lanhui Concentric.  Just as Huang Tingjian in the Northern Song Dynasty described orchids in "You Fang Ting": "An orchid with one flower and more fragrance, and one with five or seven flowers and less fragrance."

    "Hui Zhi Lan Xin" means that the essence of Cymbidium is the center of Chinese orchids.  "Hui" is the center of Chinese orchids, that is, "Hui Xin", which is the "Chinese Heart".  Those who love orchids must love "Hui", "Hui" refers to China, "Hui" means Chinese vanilla, and "Zhi" means people's vanilla.  "Hui Zhi" strives for glory and overwhelming public beauty, and is called "National Fragrance".

    Cymbidium is one of the important varieties of Chinese orchids. Cymbidium has two varieties, Emei Chunhui and Songchun.  Emei Chunhui is relatively short, with about 4 leaves. The flowering period is between March and April, and it is mainly distributed in Sichuan Province.  There are many leaves for spring delivery, generally about 10, soft in texture and in a semi-drooping state, and the flowering period is between February and March.

    Lu You, a great poet, said in the verse of "Creating a small soil mountain in front of the window, the play of combining orchids and hostas in the end to get the fragrant lilies": "Fanglan is moved all over the forest, why not plant hostas, and beg for two clusters of fragrant lilies, the old man is seventy.  Still childlike."  Fanglan, that is, "Hui Zhi's transplantation symbolizes the image and symbol of the country".

    ?Chinese orchids: Chunlan, Jianlan, Hanlan, Molan, Phalaenopsis, and Clivia are equally called orchids.

    (1) Historical background

    According to records, as early as the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue had planted orchids in the mountains of Shaoxing, Zhejiang.  After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, orchids have been used to decorate courtyards.  In ancient times, people mainly collected wild orchids, and as for the artificial cultivation of orchids, they started from the palace.  After the Wei and Jin Dynasties, orchids expanded from court cultivation to private gardens of the scholar-official class, and were used to decorate gardens and beautify the environment, as described in Cao Zhi's poem "Autumn Orchid Covered by Changpo".  It wasn't until the Tang Dynasty that the cultivation of orchids developed into general gardens and flower growers.  For example, Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once wrote in "Xiaoyoushan":

    The fragrance of orchids is far away, and the sweet rain of osmanthus is near.

    The huicao has fragrant roots, and the withered vines lack flowers and leaves.

    If you want to find thousands of peaks and valleys, you want to know all kinds of solutions.

    Straight down the water and deep, suddenly the master lacks the truth!

    Orchids are called "Youlan" because they are mostly born in secluded valleys and have a quiet fragrance.  Cymbidium is a kind of orchid.  Orchid (Chunlan) generally has one scape and one birch, while Hui has many flowers, but the fragrance is slightly weaker.  The difference between Lan and Hui is not emphasized here, it is just a dual, and the same word cannot be used.  In other words, Lan and Hui refer to the same thing.  flow, it is likely to be a mistake.  Although the fragrance of orchids is not strong, it travels a long distance with the wind.  Even if the cymbidium withers, it leaves fragrant roots.  It shows that orchids are excellent in nature, but not ostentatious.

    (2) The meaning and symbol of orchids

    Chinese people have always regarded orchids as a symbol of nobility and elegance, and they also use orchids to express pure love, such as "the spirit is like an orchid, and it will never change, and the heart will never change if it is like an orchid."  Talk about giving Meng Xiaoxiang ".

    Since ancient times, Chinese people have loved orchids, cultivated orchids, chanted orchids and painted orchids. The ancients once praised "seeing leaves is better than viewing flowers".  People prefer orchids to be company with plants and trees, not to compete with others.

    The meaning of orchid: Orchid is a symbol of "beautiful", "noble", "simple", "virtuous", "virtuous" and "elegant".  Because of the high quality of orchids, it is also known as the "gentleman among flowers".  Together with chrysanthemums, narcissus, and calamus, it is often referred to as the "Four Elegances of Flowers", and with plum blossoms, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, it is also called the "Four Gentlemen".

    It is reported that the earliest meaning of orchid is the mascot of love.

    The meaning of orchids: noble, elegant, patriotic and steadfast.  Orchids represent unwavering love.

    The symbol of Cymbidium: the plant has a beautiful shape and beautiful flowers, with the meaning of constancy and elegance, symbolizing the quality of nobility, elegance and indifference.  Cymbidium flowers are simple and elegant, returning to the world with a rich fragrance, implying kindness and selflessness, and symbolizing the simple, tolerant and kind-hearted national spirit of the Chinese nation.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
