"Luoyang's first Peony Blossom Meet!"
The next day, Luoyang City was plastered with notices for the Peony Blossom Meet. The citizens were encouraged to participate, instantly stirring the entire city.
After all, peonies were the pride of Luoyang. Rich people planted peonies everywhere, and some flower-loving people even had their own private peony gardens. Some rare varieties were even expensive. Once they appeared on the market, it immediately caused people to scramble for them.
Even ordinary people would plant some to decorate their courtyards, but no one expected the commonly seen peonies to form a Peony Blossom Meet.
"The location is actually Luoyang City's Peony Garden! Isn't that something Mo Jiazi prepared for Princess Changle? Why is it the location of the Peony Blossom Meet? "a Luoyang citizen asked in puzzlement when he saw the notice.
"I heard that this Peony Blossom Meet is a honeymoon trip prepared by Mo Jiazi for Princess Changle. Otherwise, why would he spend ten thousand coins to offer a reward for a precious peony?" A merchant looked at the reward on the notice and could not help but say enviously. A precious peony that the Peony Garden did not have could be sold for ten thousand coins. From the merchant's point of view, there was no other business that was worth it.
"Mo Jiazi sure is infatuated!"
"Princess Changle is truly blessed."
Everyone spoke with envy and jealousy. A honeymoon was something that no one had ever heard of before. As soon as it was spread, it caused everyone to be endlessly envious. However, upon arriving at Luoyang, the son of the Mo family actually wanted to collect all of Luoyang's peonies for Princess Changle to enjoy. How romantic was this?
"Then all of you are wrong. Mo Jiazi isn't just for Princess Changle to enjoy. Instead, he is opening up the Peony Garden to all of Luoyang's citizens. I just returned from the Peony Blossom Meet. Brother Mo Jiazi is currently demolishing the Peony Blossom Garden's walls and renovating it. During the Peony Blossom Meet, the citizens are free to enter and enjoy it, "a man said.
"Really? That's Hu Daonong's Peony Blossom Garden. I heard that there are quite a number of precious peonies inside, "everyone said excitedly.
Hu Daonong's Peony Blossom Garden was famous in Luoyang. In the past, ordinary citizens had no chance of visiting it, but they never expected it to be open to the citizens for free.
"By the way, I have a peony that was passed down from my ancestors. If it's a variety that doesn't exist in the Peony Blossom Garden, wouldn't it be worth ten thousand coins?" someone suddenly said excitedly. someone...
Immediately, quite a few people were tempted. This was a reward for those who were quick to act and those who were slow to act. If the Peony Garden did not have a variety that was snatched away by others and sent over first, then wouldn't it be like drawing water with a bamboo basket?
. Even if the peonies were not precious peony Blossom Blossom Garden, as long as they they they were in good quality, they, they would be, Flowers flowers flowers flowers flowers as long as the flowers flowers flowers. were. was. Blossom s Blossom Blossom flowers flowers flowers?? and the flowers flowers as Blossom Blossom Blossom flowers flowers flowers, Blossom Blossom Blossom was...
"So what if it's worth ten thousand coins? What I'm interested in is the selection of the Peony Blossom King. I heard that the final winner will receive a certificate from the county government. This is a true business opportunity," many people said in excitement. They were very interested in the idea of the Peony Blossom King.
With the enthusiastic participation of Luoyang's citizens, the variety of Peony Blossom Garden increased. The scale of the Peony Blossom Festival grew, and its influence spread across the streets. Furthermore, with the passage of time, the news of Luoyang's Peony Blossom Festival quickly spread in all directions.
Many scholars and poets took action upon hearing the news as they headed for Luoyang City. Especially after the news spread to Chang 'an City, Meton and Princess Changle's every action attracted the attention of Chang' an's citizens.
Now that the news of Mo Jiazi holding a Peony Blossom Festival for Princess Changle spread, it immediately spread in Chang 'an City. Immediately, many citizens of Chang' an City were tempted and immediately rushed to Luoyang City in carriages. Unexpectedly, there were events similar to the Mo's Art Exhibition and the Lantern Festival. However, this time, it was the citizens of Chang 'an City who rushed to Luoyang City.
On the streets of Chang 'an City, Su Luosheng looked at the newly greened streets with satisfaction. He was now imitating the layout of the Mo's Village. Indeed, after the greening, Chang' an City looked completely new. With this, his political achievements could be added to.
Suddenly, Constable Cao came to report, "Sir, Merton is holding a Peony Blossom Festival for Princess Changle in Luoyang City."
After hearing Constable Cao's report, Su Luosheng couldn't help but sigh. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Sir Zhou is really lucky!"
Originally, he had already suppressed Zhou Hongde, but he didn't expect that Meton's honeymoon would give Zhou Hongde a chance to catch his breath. This time, the battle for promotion between the two of them had reached a stalemate.
In the palace, Li Shimin looked at the proposal for the Peony Blossom Festival sent by Zhou Hongde and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Meton is indeed a troublemaker. Everywhere he goes, there's no peace."
However, with Li Shimin's insight, he could naturally see the benefits of the Peony Blossom Festival. Peonies were a specialty of Luoyang. Moreover, after being cultivated, they only needed to be taken care of regularly. The maintenance cost was extremely low, and compared to the income, it was a huge profit.
"This is the so-called talent for governing a village!" Li Shimin sighed. If all the officials had such talent for governing a village, then he wouldn't have to worry too much.
In the imperial garden of the imperial harem, there were hundreds of flowers competing to be beautiful. It was a rare scene in the world, and there was an endless stream of concubines coming to play. They fought openly and covertly with each other, but on the surface, they were all harmonious.
But when the news that Meton was holding a Peony Blossom Festival for Princess Changle in Luoyang spread, all the concubines fell silent. They immediately lost some interest in looking at the hundreds of flowers.
"Little Sister Chonghua, are Luoyang's peonies really so beautiful?" Consort Yang turned to Zheng Chonghua and asked.
"Replying to Big Sister Consort Yang, the peony is luxurious, rich, and dignified. It is a national beauty and is the king of flowers. Every year, when the peony blooms in Luoyang, the entire city will be filled with its fragrance. Even ordinary families will place flowers for auspicious purposes." Zheng Chonghua couldn't help but reminisce. She couldn't help but think of the carefree feeling she had when she was still a young girl. Compared to the mutual deception in the palace, it could be said that the difference was like heaven and earth. Unfortunately, the peonies in Luoyang were even more beautiful than before, and she would never be able to return to the past.
"Little Sister's words are correct. Big Sister once lived in Luoyang. The peonies there are indeed the most beautiful." Noble Consort Wei agreed with Zheng Chonghua for once.
"If that's the case, Changle truly has good fortune!" Consort Yang said with a smile.
The concubines all nodded. As for what they were thinking, it was impossible to know.
As the news spread, especially when Luoyang directly advertised in the Mohist and Confucian journals, the Luoyang Peony Blossom Festival stirred the world. Countless flower-lovers rushed to Luoyang.
In a flash, Luoyang became the focus of the world.
