"This official announces once again that the Flower King of this year's Peony Gathering is this Wei Purple!" Zhou Hongde said proudly.
Immediately, the crowd burst into thunderous applause. With Wei Purple's rise in fame, it could be said that it deserved the title of Flower King. Everyone was convinced. Even the rare-quality peony that Zhou Hongde transplanted from the county was inferior to Wei Purple. The peerless peony Wei Purple deserved to be this year's Flower King.
Zhou Hongde could not help but reveal an excited smile when he saw the long and fiery atmosphere. This year's Peony Gathering had given him a huge surprise.
He originally thought that he would regret not being able to stay at the Peony Meet, but who would have thought that on the last day, a Mohist son would write four poems in a row. Especially the last three poems that were a combination of poems, stunning Luoyang City. In time to come, with the spread of these four poems, the reputation of the Luoyang Peony Meet would definitely flourish.
"Hu Daonong, the rest is up to you. When the Wei Purple is inoculated in August, this official needs you to cultivate even more Wei Purple next year. I believe that there will come a day when I don't wish to see just this one Wei Purple, but the entire peony garden filled with blooming Wei Purple," Zhou Hongde said.
"This old farmer obeys!" Hu Daonong said solemnly.
Hu Daonong's value had increased by several times. He had gone from an ordinary gardener to a farming expert. He was the founder of the secret art of transplanting, making him famous.
The ambitious Zhou Hongde had already hired Hu Daonong as a consultant to search for trees. Next spring, Luoyang's appearance would definitely change greatly. When the time came, Zhou Hongde, who had completed the greening, and with the influence of the Peony Gathering, would become the best capital for his promotion.
"Of course, I have to thank Merton and Princess Changle even more. The two of them came to Luoyang for their honeymoon and brought such a grand event to Luoyang. This official represents Luoyang in thanking Merton and Princess Changle." Zhou Hongde solemnly bowed at Meton and Princess Changle.
Meton returned the bow and said, "Luoyang is a land of outstanding talents. The flowers and beauties are kind. It is my honor to be able to come to Luoyang."
Princess Changle also said in a crisp voice, "This Princess likes Luoyang very much. In the future, I will definitely come to visit. This Princess's Garden will forever be free of charge to the citizens of Luoyang. This Princess will give this gift to Luoyang before I part."
As Princess Changle's words, Princess Changle's Garden. Princess's land was in no way inferior to Chang 'an City... Luoyang's land was not inferior to that of Chang' an City's.................... Luoyang's... was............. Princess....
Modun nodded slightly. Opening the Princess Garden was something they had discussed together. They rarely came to Luoyang, so there was no point in keeping it. They might as well do a favor at no cost. Besides, this was also the end of their honeymoon. They had left behind many memories, so they naturally hoped that the flowers would bloom here.
As for the usual management, it was naturally left to Hu Daonong. He believed that he would be very willing.
As for Zheng Chang and company, their faces darkened when they heard the news. They had also opened the Peony Garden. Now, the Peony Garden, which was larger and more valuable, had been opened. If they still wanted to close it, they would definitely be despised by the citizens of Luoyang.
After all, the survival of the family clans was their reputation. If they were despised by the citizens of Luoyang, the family clan would not be far from decline. Furthermore, with Zhou Hongde watching, for next year's Luoyang Flower Meet, the Zheng family's private Peony Gardens would probably not be closed so easily.
What made Zheng Chang even more disappointed was that he had clearly taken out a treasure like Yaohuang, but in the end, the position of Flower Monarch was given to someone else. It could be said that he had suffered a double loss. However, no one cared about what Zheng Chang and company were thinking. They were all immersed in the birth of Flower Monarch.
Zhou Hongde said loudly, "There were a million visitors to the Peony Flower Meet this time. All the inns and restaurants in Luoyang were filled to the brim. Thank you for your support and love. Let's meet again at the Peony Flower Meet next year."
A million visitors was an exaggeration from Zhou Hongde. In this era, there were no tickets, so there was no way to count them. However, for the Peony Flower Meet, almost all of Luoyang City had come. Together with the tourists from other places, even if it was less than a million, it was not far off.
At the same time, Zhou Hongde also truly experienced the influence of the Peony Flower Meet. There were many traveling merchants in Luoyang City. There were countless inns and hostels, but the Peony Flower Meet had attracted too many tourists. It was hard to find a room in Luoyang City, not to mention the astounding purchasing power of these tourists. Almost all the traveling merchants in Luoyang City made a fortune. It was no wonder Zhou Hongde couldn't wait to announce that the Peony Flower Meet would be held next year.
"I hereby announce that the first Peony Flower Meet is officially over!" With Zhou Hongde's order, the Peony Flower Meet finally came to an end. However, the brilliance of this year's Peony Flower Meet was deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.
Meton and Princess Changle walked among the withered peonies, reminiscing about their beauty. With the end of the Peony Flower Meet in Luoyang, their honeymoon was also coming to an end.
"The fallen flowers are not heartless. They turn into spring mud to protect the flowers. Don't be sad. With these fallen flowers, next year's peonies will bloom even more beautifully," Meton advised Princess Changle.
"Okay!"
Princess Changle reined in her sadness and walked out of Princess Garden. She stepped onto a carriage that had long been prepared and prepared to return to Chang 'an City.
However, when the carriage was about to leave, the two realized that many citizens had gathered on both sides of the official road to send them off.
Although Mo Jiazi and Princess Changle had only been in Luoyang for slightly more than ten days, they had brought much joy to the citizens of Luoyang. As commoners, they might never have the opportunity to come into contact with so many precious peonies. However, the arrival of Mo Jiazi and Princess Changle had changed this situation.
Not only had they brought the Peony Flower Meet to Luoyang, widening their horizons, they had also left behind an eternal source of pride for the city.
"Giddy up!"
Meton and Princess Changle waved their hands as the four-wheeled carriage sped along the brick path back to Chang 'an City.
On the way here, Meton and Princess Changle had gone on a scenic tour. They had made many stops along the way, but they had spent a lot of time on the road. However, on the way back, they naturally sped up. They used the Mo Family Village's Instant System. In order to allow the two of them to return as soon as possible, this system was on standby the entire time. It seamlessly prepared sufficient horsepower for Meton's return journey.
Seeing the carriage speeding along and the trees along the coast rapidly retreating, Princess Changle leaned against the window and looked at the beautiful scenery along the way. She could not help but linger. "How nice would it be if it could continue like this?"
This honeymoon trip had given Princess Changle too many beautiful memories. This kind of life was much more interesting than living in the palace. She did not wish for it to end so quickly.
"If you are willing, we can continue traveling. We can travel all over the country and experience the great rivers and mountains." Meton promised. This honeymoon trip had heated up their relationship rapidly. They were practically glued to each other.
Princess Changle was moved, but she shook her head firmly. "Such a honeymoon trip is enough for a lifetime. We have been away from Chang 'an City for nearly a month. It's time to go back."
Although she had indulged in the joy of traveling, she had never left Chang 'an City for such a long time. Instead, she missed her father, mother, and everything in Chang' an City more and more.
"Okay!" Meton nodded. "After this Peony Flower Meet is over, I will return to Chang 'an City immediately."
"Then the new peony perfume I made will be a gift for mother. I believe she will like it," Princess Changle said eagerly.
Meton nodded. He believed that when perfume first appeared in the Tang dynasty, it would definitely cause a storm among women. No woman would be able to resist the charm of perfume.
The carriages continued onward. When night fell, Modun and Princess Changle's carriages had already arrived at the gates of Chang 'an. Raising the banners of the Mo Estate, the carriages continued onward, directly arriving at the Marquis's mansion.
Now, Meton and Princess Changle's honeymoon trip had officially come to an end. They had traveled for four hundred kilometers. Everywhere they went, there would be a great commotion. Very soon, the news spread across the world. In particular, Meton's Song of Purity and Peace during the competition for the Flower King spread across the world as soon as possible. It made everyone eat a lot of dog food.
From then on, honeymoon trips gradually became popular in the Tang dynasty. It became a necessary trip for many newlyweds.
