Through Li Xiaolu's explanation, Ang Lee had a deeper understanding of the vegetation in Gibraltar. In this small port town, there were many types of plants, such as coconut trees and olive trees. The Mediterranean climate here was more suitable for the growth of subtropical green plants.
Of course, these basic plants would be marked when the subordinates drew the map. However, there were some plants that were not many in number, especially the small herbaceous plants, that the subordinates could not take care of when they drew the map. After all, these were not the most important. It was impossible for the subordinates to draw all the flowers and trees in a place. It was too unrealistic.
According to Li Xiaolu, in the forest of Gibraltar, there was a very beautiful herbaceous plant called the Spanish iris. This plant was very beautiful, and it was a perennial herbaceous plant. Its lifespan was much longer than ordinary flowers and plants.
This Spanish iris had a strange appearance and elegant colors. There were blue, purple, light yellow, pure white, and other colors. It was like a flying pigeon. It was a rare cut flower. It could also be used to decorate flower beds, flower borders, and rock gardens in early spring.
The characteristic of the Spanish iris was that it liked sunlight. In addition, this flower also had a good resistance to Yin. It liked sandy loam with good drainage. It liked cool climates and did not like hot climates. It grew in autumn and winter, bloomed in spring, and went dormant in summer. It was very magical. After all, ordinary plants grew in summer and withered in winter. However, this flower actually went dormant in summer and was very active in the other seasons.
Ordinary plants were propagated by seeds. However, this Spanish iris was propagated by bulbs. During the dormant period in summer, the roots of the plant could be quietly dug up and the bulbs at the root could be divided into a few bulbs. They would be stored in a cold and dry room first. When autumn came, they could be cultivated with soil. Under normal circumstances, the bulbs would be divided once every two years.
Of course, the Spanish iris could also be propagated by seeds, but the frequency of its use was not high. If it was propagated by seeds, it needed to grow from a very small seed step by step, and the time it took was not cost-effective. After all, plants also had a lifespan. If it was propagated by bulbs directly, it could grow better and faster, and it would be easier to form a climate as soon as possible.
Irises were particularly beautiful, especially the purple ones. They gave people a kind of quiet beauty. Purple was not as ostentatious as red, and the appearance of irises was not as luxurious as peonies, so it was easy to give people a kind of low-key beauty. In short, many people in later generations liked irises very much. Spanish irises and Hua Xia irises were still a little different, forming their own unique characteristics.
For example, Spanish irises were more purple, and there were also irises that were purple and white, which made them even more unique. As a result, they were favored by people all over the world.
Li Xiaolu told Ang Lee that she liked the purple and white irises the most. As for why, she didn't know. Anyway, she just liked them.
"Purple and white appearing on the same flower at the same time, this is really rare! However, doesn't this kind of flower miss you women very much? "
The corners of Li An's mouth curled into a faint smile as he spoke.
"Assistant Minister Li means that we women are as beautiful as irises, but what does this have to do with purple and white?"
Li Xiaolu said with a smile. Obviously, her thoughts were still too simple, and she didn't think of the meaning behind it.
Seeing that Li Xiaolu didn't understand, Ang Lee said, "Aren't you women purple and white? Look at your body, which part is white and which part is purple?"
The words were said so clearly. If Li Xiaolu still didn't understand, then it was purely a problem with her IQ. She immediately understood what Ang Lee was talking about, and immediately showed a shy expression.
"I was originally pink and white, pink and tender. It was because of Assistant Minister Li that I became purple and white, hmph."
Li Xiaolu rolled her eyes at Ang Lee angrily.
This was absolutely the truth. Any woman was pink and tender at the beginning, but after being ravaged, they would become purple. Of course, this was nothing. After a long time, they would become black charcoal, and lose their original charm.
Therefore, this also explained why men liked young and beautiful girls. Wasn't it because young and beautiful girls were more pink and tender? Which man didn't like pink and tender girls, but an old woman with purple and black hair?
"Okay, okay, okay, not purple, not purple at all. My little beauty will always be pink and tender, always pink and tender, okay?"
Ang Lee said with a smile.
Ang Lee was the best at coaxing people. Any kind of sweet talk was not difficult for Ang Lee, and then came the next.
However, purple was not a derogatory term, because among all the colors, purple was the most coquettish. Because purple represented maturity, and maturity was naturally welcomed by people.
Most people liked pink and tender, but there was also a considerable number of people who liked purple. Although pink and tender was tempting, it was not mature enough. It was stressful to control it, and it was always impossible to cooperate perfectly. However, purple was different. This kind of mature woman understood men's hearts the best, and could perfectly cooperate with men to complete what they needed to do, making men feel very comfortable.
Therefore, sometimes, an immature pink and tender would turn into a sour green apple. It looked very tempting, but after eating it, one would know what it tasted like.
There was a saying that red turned purple. This fully showed that purple was the highest sublimation of red, and the essence of pink was pink. It was ranked before red, so naturally, it couldn't be compared to purple.
To be more precise, it should be that everyone had their own preferences. Some people liked pink and tender, while others liked mature purple. It depended on what kind of person you liked.
As for what kind of person Ang Lee liked, of course, the more the better. Ang Lee was the type who liked both young and old. However, he had no interest in those who were too old. Moreover, Ang Lee preferred the feeling of training. A pink and tender beauty was like a piece of white paper. He could train her however he wanted. A mature beauty had no possibility of training at all, and no one could train her.
If she was reduced to the point of being trained, it would be more embarrassing. After all, this was a matter of a man's face. It was a big matter, not a trivial matter.
Li An was very confident in this aspect. Along the way, he had met so many beautiful girls. None of them had not been subdued by Li An. All of them had submitted to Li An. Li An was like a conqueror. Along the way, he had conquered everyone. Who could understand this kind of pleasure?
"Iris flowers are very beautiful. I want to take some iris flowers to the Tang dynasty. Can I take some iris flowers to the Tang dynasty?"
Li Xiaolu asked.
Li An smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Of course, you can. It's just a few pots of flowers. However, our Tang dynasty also has iris flowers. It's just a little different from the ones in your hometown. Of course, there are many flowers in the palace of the Tang dynasty. Maybe there are purple and white iris flowers from your hometown. "
It was not a problem at all to take some iris flowers to the Tang dynasty. Of course, Ang Lee agreed very happily. Moreover, if there were no Spanish iris flowers in the Tang dynasty, he could add a new species to the Tang Empire. He could also select a few of the best Spanish irises and send them to the palace to increase the variety of flowers in the palace.
According to Ang Lee's estimation, the possibility of having Spanish iris flowers in the palace of the Tang dynasty was very low. Because for so many years, the Tang Empire had not extended its influence to Spain and had not established an effective connection with Spain at all. Therefore, the possibility of introducing the unique iris flowers of Spain to the Tang dynasty was not very high. However, businessmen might have a way to take the iris flowers out of Spain and into the Tang Empire step by step. Therefore, whether there were Spanish iris flowers in the palace of the Tang dynasty, Ang Lee was not sure. But because these flowers were very beautiful, it would not be wrong to take some to Chang 'an.
"Great, I must take more so that the people of the Tang dynasty can also appreciate the iris flowers of Spain. By the way, there are many kinds of flowers in our hometown. They are all very beautiful. Do you want to take some of them?"
Li Xiaolu continued to ask.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Of course, as long as the flowers are beautiful, you can take some back. If they are really not available in the Tang dynasty, then they are very valuable. A plant can be sold at a sky-high price."
"Wow, is this true? If that's the case, then I should bring more. That way, I can sell them for more money. "
Li Xiaolu said excitedly. It seemed that she was also a little money-grubber.
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Silly girl, do you think that the transportation cost is free? If the transportation cost is included, no matter how high the price is, it will be a loss. Don't take too many. After arriving in the Tang dynasty, you can transplant them! A good flower can grow a large garden in just a few years. "
Li Xiaolu nodded and said, "That's right! The journey from my hometown to the Tang dynasty is really too long. It's really not easy to take care of so many flowers along the way. It's more practical to take fewer flowers. Then let's take fewer! I will personally take care of these flowers along the way. "
Ang Lee said with a smile, "Little beauty, you haven't seen my boat. There are a lot of flowers and plants on it. It will be enough for you to be busy. However, there will be someone to help you. There are also four maids on my boat."
After saying that, he smiled proudly.
"Oh, there are also four maids! They must be very beautiful! "
Li Xiaolu said with a smile. However, it could be seen that there was a little jealousy in her heart.
"Beautiful, of course very beautiful. How can the maids I personally choose be ugly? They must all be very beautiful! "
Ang Lee said proudly.
"Then, do I count as a maid? I don't know anything except dancing and raising some flowers and plants. "
Li Xiaolu said.
Ang Lee nodded and said, "Of course you are. If you can serve me well and make me comfortable, you are a qualified maid. How about it? Do you feel wronged to be my maid?"
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiaolu. After all, this woman was a gift from Osman. Her status was not high enough. Ang Lee already had a lot of wives. If he casually added more, it would have a very bad influence on him. If he had more than some people's concubines, it would be even worse.
"No, of course not. As long as Assistant Minister Li can accept me, I will be very happy. I am just a dancer. If I didn't meet Assistant Minister Li, I wouldn't be able to escape from Osman's clutches now."
Li Xiaolu didn't seem to be disappointed. After all, she was very clear about her identity. She knew what she could get and what she shouldn't get. With Ang Lee's noble status, how could he marry a lowly dancer like her?
"Haha! Serving me is a blessing, serving Osman is falling into the devil's claws. The gap between people is really huge! "Lin Li thought. Am I that good? In what way am I better than Osman? "
Li An pretended to be puzzled as he looked at Li Xiaolu. The corner of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Although it was a question, it was more of a boast to show that he was much stronger than Osman.
"Of course it's different. Assistant Minister Li is handsome and charming. He's also very caring. That Osman is rude and ugly. He has a big beard on his face. Just looking at him makes people scared. Who would like that kind of beard? Moreover, he's a Moor. My hometown was occupied by the Moors. I still hate the Moors in my heart."
Li Xiaolu said.
Ang Lee suddenly understood and nodded. He said, "Oh, so that's how it is! It seems that I am still very charming? Ah! Why does everyone like me? How can I be so outstanding? "
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiaolu proudly.
Narcissism from time to time was very helpful in relieving fatigue. Moreover, Ang Lee was not narcissistic. Ang Lee was really handsome and outstanding. Everything was true. Everyone who had seen Ang Lee said so.
How charming a person was was was often not something that could be said by oneself. Personal charm was something that needed to be evaluated by others. What others said was the most authentic.
The reason why Ang Lee dared to be so narcissistic was that everyone said that he was charming. Everyone fell for Ang Lee. No one was an exception. Therefore, Ang Lee's charm was naturally real.
A person's charm was not only reflected in their innate appearance. More importantly, it was honed. Appearance was the most basic requirement. Only a good-looking person could make people feel comfortable. In addition to appearance, a person's character and ability were also very important.
