The Rich and the Idlers of the Red Chamber

Jia She was in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley, apart from medical and martial arts, he was best at planting flowers. He cultivated many exotic flowers and plants in the valley, and he was really interested in it. With his previous skills and his good luck, he found several good female parents in the mountains. Therefore, in just one year, several famous products were bred.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, peonies were the most expensive. For a good peony, fanatics wished to lose their fortunes. Some people became rich overnight because they bred a famous tree. Wanhua Valley was named after Wanhua. Ai Lian said that peonies are called the flowers of wealth, and some scholars are not so enthusiastic about peonies. What does it mean? It is completely forcibly endowed by human beings, and it is meaningless to the flower itself.

Jia She considers himself a layman, so most of the flowers and plants he cultivated are peonies and peonies. For this reason, he bought a lot of seedlings and brought them back. Using the secret method passed down by Wanhua Valley, he carefully cultivated them. Then came out a few famous varieties.

Jia She didn't make much publicity at first, but at first he just invited a few uncles from the Zhang family to come and enjoy them, but these people entered the peony garden specially designated by Jia She, and threw Jia She to the back of their minds, looking at the peonies, His face was full of amazement and even obsession.

Before the Anshi Rebellion, the cultivation of peonies in the Tang Dynasty had reached a peak. Many famous cultivation methods have been lost due to the war. It also has something to do with mentality. The dynasties have changed several times, but the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is no longer there.Even though many famous peonies have been cultivated in later generations, in Jia She's opinion, they still lack some flavor.

Jia Amnesty has both knowledge and means, and the peonies he cultivated can be called holy goods, whether charming, delicate, elegant, refreshing, or domineering, extremely beautiful, all of them are beautiful and radiant, and they are radiant and fascinating. fold.

The brothers of the Zhang family can be regarded as well-informed. Before, there were people who cultivated several pots of peonies in a greenhouse, and they were in full bloom in winter. They were presented to the palace, and the saint even took them out to show off. Compared with the peonies, the pots of peonies I saw before seemed almost sick.

The eldest brother Zhang Yizhi finally came back to his senses, his eyes were still fixed on a Gejinzi plant, and he asked in disbelief: "Enhou, these, these were really cultivated by you?"

With a smile, Jia She stretched out his hand to caress a peony with a lustrous white color and a lustrous luster almost like a beautiful jade, and said: "The servants of my village, don't you know that the gardener is still a flower gardener? Yes, but that’s all. I have read many ancient books, and I yearn for the peony scenery in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, thousands of years have passed, and that kind of scenery has long been a cloud of smoke. Therefore, I have spent a lot of thought. It is considered that these peonies have been cultivated, but the time is still short, and the varieties are still less!"

Hearing the regret in Jia She's mouth, Zhang Minzhi, the second son of the Zhang family, almost rolled his eyes: "This, this is not much, Yao Huang, Wei Zi, Ou Lu, um, this kind of pink color has never been seen before." I’ve seen it before, and this one, this is the Guifei Drunken Bar, this is Er Qiao? This flower is actually a three-color flower?..." Zhang Minzhi only looked at the color and shape of the flower, and after a rough calculation, he almost calculated more than ten varieties. , he looked at Jia She, almost speechless.

Zhang Xingzhi, the younger brother of the Zhang family, stared at a blue field jade, and said in his mouth: "Brother-in-law, since you raised these, if you can grow one plant, you will definitely be able to grow more. This blue field jade, why don't you give it to me?" Let me be my little brother! Hehe, Liu Qi from the Imperial College showed us his white peony in front of us, and even started a poetry club. How could he be proud there all day long!"

Zhang Yizhi slapped Zhang Xingzhi directly: "What are you talking about? You don't give it to someone first, but you show it off at home. Do you think your life is too long?" As he said, he cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city .

Jia She was immediately disappointed. To be honest, he really didn't care much about the imperial power. In the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers there were many important courtiers who lived in seclusion. The aristocratic family also has a lot of power to speak in the court. The emperor does not have much power to kill or seize the courtiers. Everyone is not so in awe of the imperial power. The Li family has made a lot of things in those years. Therefore, the authority of the emperor is really not that much. Heavy, and not so many rules.Many aristocratic families have all kinds of secrets that are not passed on, and the emperor will not look at it well and force others to donate it.

What's more, Jia Amnesty's first life, although many people also said that there were all kinds of bad things, but it is really unclear what class, what is high or low, and ordinary people can also imagine the top few at the wine table The lace news, the presidents, prime ministers and prime ministers of other countries are even more talking points in everyone's mouth. Whoever has something good, either keeps it as a treasure heirloom, or finds a channel to sell it. For donating countries, most of them are Sneering, who would think that if you have a rare good thing in the world, you don't deserve it, so you have to send it to Zhongnanhai?

Therefore, Jia Amnesty didn't have this awareness at all, and Zhang Yizhi couldn't help but lose interest when he said this. He cultivated these things for self-entertainment, or to make himself famous. Using it as a tribute made Jia She depressed.

Finally, Jia Amnesty had no choice but to sigh: "Okay, brother-in-law, you can arrange this matter!"

Zhang Xingzhi looked at the blue field jade with longing eyes, and it took a long time to move his eyes away, and said pitifully, "Brother, then this blue field jade can't be kept? What about the others?"

Zhang Minzhi interjected: "Although this Yao Huang Wei Zi Ou Lv is of excellent quality, it is also from the previous dynasty, and it is not that there is no such thing in the palace, but these few are rare, some have never been heard of, some There are only a few words in the classics, and these, of course, have to be included! I said Enhou, you are also from the government, why don't you even understand this thing!"

Jia She spread out his hands: "I used to be a dandy waiting to die. My old man has never sealed me up. I haven't even touched the palace gate for so many years. Who would have thought of these things!" Mrs. Zhang thought It's just that Jia She didn't think of it. He just thought that Jia She wanted to open his eyes to his family first, so he didn't mention it.

Zhang Yizhi couldn't help being speechless, and said directly: "Okay, the flowering period of peony is not long, hurry up, ask someone to dig out the peony and put it in a pot, don't hurt the rhizome, keep it for two days, and go directly into it!"

Jia Amnesty waved his hand: "I am a grassroots person now, and you are still troubled by the elder brother. Really, I haven't watched it myself yet!"

Jia She was very depressed, but the Zhang family did some manipulations and sent the pots of peonies to the palace. Sure enough, the sage was very impressed when he saw it, and he was also surprised when he heard that it was cultivated by Jia She. , Looking back, there was an imperial edict rewarding Jia She's Zhuangzi.
