277, Goddess of the Sea
The structure of Xinyuan has gradually become broad and broad.
The Nanyuan is known for its small mountains and rivers and various exquisite gardening. The Zhongyuan is mainly composed of large flower halls such as "Ying Hall" and "Mu Hall". In addition to the rose fields, the Beiyuan is a large area of flat tiles and open space. Xiaoxiao directly calls it a square.
It is said that this square was originally used to open up new flower fields, but construction has not started yet. In order to ensure the needs of the rose banquet, all the flower tiles were boldly adjusted, and a long stone platform like a trestle bridge was built in the center. The front end of the stone platform was connected to a horizontal rectangular stone platform.
The finale of this rose banquet, "The Goddess of the Sea", was arranged here for the first appearance.
Many guests waited here before the hour of the New Year according to the detailed pictures drawn in the banquet booklet. They were curious about what use this strange-shaped platform would be.
"I thought the roses chosen by the Queen Mother would be planted in the flower shed for us to visit." Several wives stood under the stone platform and whispered.
"I originally guessed that it was in a transparent glass flower shed, and the guests could only watch through the glass." A wife gently slapped the fan. It was almost sunset, and the heat had dissipated a little, not as hot as the daytime.
"As far as I say, the 'Phoenix of Fire' rose is a masterpiece, especially when the flowers are about to wither, the edges of the petals seem to have been burned by fire." A wife shared her experience in rose appreciation. "It's really unimaginable, what kind of roses can the Wen family launch this time."
"The Empress Dowager has agreed in person, and naturally it is the best in the world." The wives were reserved on the surface, but their hearts were full of curiosity and expectation.
A few bold children ran to the platform and tiptoed to touch the stone platform: "It's so thin and soft, what's the shop?"
There was an older child staring at the small white particles on his palms: "This is sand."
"I've never seen such fine sand!"
"It is said that the sand deep in the sea is so thin and soft!"
The children soon made new discoveries: "There are treasures in the sand!" Several children waved the small shells and conchs found in the sand in a show of flaunting manner. Most of the children here had never been to the beach and had long been attracted by this strange and interesting pomp.
It was dusk now, and the sky was getting darker. When everyone was thinking about what the Wen family was going to do, they suddenly heard a heavy music sound from afar.
The guests looked around but could not see where the instrument team was. They only felt that the music was calm and elegant, and had an indescribable exotic style. The music gradually surrounded people with the twilight.
Just as everyone was secretly surprised, they suddenly saw a pair of lights coming from a distance, gradually moving towards the crowd from the depths of the stone platform.
Whenever the pair of lights approach, the lights on both sides of the stone platform light up one by one.
Some people were exclaiming, some were sighing, and some were staring at the pair of women carrying lanterns in a dumbfounded manner. They had a tall maid on their heads and their dresses were covered with shining things, as if they were sparkling with water. The slender and ethereal shrouds were rippling in the evening breeze, as if they were like fairies.
Soon people discovered that this pair of beautiful women who were standing in the light were just guides, and the real protagonist was still behind.
If someone is interested in judging the many appearances of Miss Wen Xizi today, he might have summarized it like this: the purple smoke in the morning is very dignified, the animal skins and colorful clothes in the mountains dance are lively and wild, and the honey color at lunchtime is easy-going and natural.
But when I saw Xizi at this time, it only makes people feel that the previous several beauty combined is less than one-tenth of that at this time!
The cold and clear blue around her body sets it like a goddess who is not as good as a worldly fireworks. This blue changes richly, light, heavy, deep, shallow, or thick, like a lonely ink line at the junction of the sky and the sea, or nothing like a string of light foam on the sea surface.
It is no exaggeration to say that the blue of the world is concentrated on this grand skirt. The hem of the skirt stretches like a wave on the camel-white beach. The hem of the skirt behind is particularly long. It must be gently supported by several maids. The lifting part reflects the setting sun, and it is like a thin cloud dragged away from the top of the mountain, gradually turning into the fog of sunrise on the sea.
People were stunned, even forgot to talk, forget to praise, and just stared at the unparalleled beauty in front of them.
The women looked more carefully, wishing to engrave every detail on the beauty's clothes and head in their minds.
The beauty was combed with a rare and beautiful hairstyle that Yuan Longchao had never seen before. The hair was lingering on the side was fluffy and not messy. She really deserved the words "foggy hair" and cloud hair". The shiny shellfish and pearls were dotted between the cloud hair, paired with twigs of strange colors.
The crowd continued to rush forward like a tide, following the beauty's pace, and his eyes were reluctant to leave the people on the stage for a moment. "Look at her hairpin! It's spiral, it should be made of mutton fat jade, right?" A girl asked her companion in a low voice.
My companion seemed to be a knowledgeable person: "That is a nine-layer snail. It is rare to grow into such a slender and white long hairpin!"
"Look at her silk, it's like a thin sail!"
"I see that there are chunks of diamonds and sapphires on it!"
"Isn't this goddess' skirt also made by Haiyige?"
"It is clear in the banquet booklet that all Wen Xizi's outfits are provided by Haiyi Pavilion."
"Now Haiyi Pavilion is really famous!"
"Wow, look at what she is holding in her hand?"
After people commented, they began to carefully study the glazed box held in the goddess's hand had a round glazed lid that looked like a bell, and it seemed to be filled with flowing stars.
The most important thing should be hidden in this glass box. Everyone was curious about what kind of treasure was inside. It was already obvious that it was: "There is a flower inside!"
"What kind of flowers? It must be a rose?" someone asked soon.
"I can't see clearly, I'm still a flower bud now!"
A long line was walking on the stone platform. In addition to the two women carrying lanterns in front, behind Xizi, there were several girls responsible for carrying skirts. They wore garlands made of shells on their heads and walked barefoot on the fine sand. Later, there were two women in jacquard baskets, both wearing shell jewelry jewelry, with a calm face and a respectful expression.
The team gradually stopped. The two women carrying lanterns in front walked towards the two ends of the front end of the Hengtai. Xizi stood in the center of the Hengtai, holding a glass box in his hand, showing a charming smile.
The snow-white tenderloin gently stroked the lid of the glass box, and a royal blue rose slowly bloomed in the box! There were stars around the flowers slowly flowing. Experienced people naturally could see that this was not the stars in the sky, and it was clearly a few fireflies.
Under the light of fireflies, the blue of the rose is particularly pure and dazzling, and it dyes the eyes of every guest present blue.
"Oh my God, this is the real sapphire blue!"
"The Wen family actually created a royal blue rose!"
People exclaimed sincerely.
Finally, Xizi gently uncovered the lid of the box, and the fireflies scattered across the night sky. The blue rose was no longer blocked by the firefly, and it became even more dazzling.
What's even more amazing is that the moment Xizi unveiled the lid, the lights in the entire square were lit up one after another, and blue and yellow glass lamps shone together, and people seemed to be in a sea of lights.
The girls in the stage team who bouquet baskets turned into a basket full of blue roses like magic. They threw these precious flowers to the crowd, and bursts of boiling sounds burst out from the crowd as if they were really flowers scattered by the goddess.
A road gradually opened in the center of the team, and they saw two people holding a long plaque covered with red cloth to the center of Hengtai. Xizi stood on the side and gently uncovered the red cloth. The black background and gold letters on the plaque were particularly dazzling.
"The goddess of the sea, cherish the preciousness and cherish the tenderness."
Everyone suddenly became silent.
This is the plaque written by the Empress Dowager himself!
The plaque written by the Empress Dowager himself to the Wen family!
"Goddess of the Sea" is the name of the blue rose grown by the Wen family!
How much does this blue rose seed cost?
I'm afraid it's more expensive than the peony inlaid with purple jade?
Now, the Wen family's flowers are the best in the world.
Someone began to whisper in the crowd: "How much does this blue rose cost? Will the Wen family sell seeds and live trees?"
"As long as you sell seeds, someone can plant them. By then, the blue rose will be worthless. The Wen family now has a fresh cut flower business, so naturally the cut flower seller of the blue rose."
"As long as you can buy a hairpin, our family has no plans to change their careers in planting flowers!"
"Buy a hairpin, it won't be too expensive..."
"How did you think she changed just now? How did she make the blue rose bloom in an instant?"
"It's just a trick in magic! It's just to attract our attention!"
"I don't know who thought of these tricks for the Wen family! I have lived for most of my life and have never seen such a big gimmick!"
"No, after this night, I'm afraid the whole world knows that the Wen family has grown blue roses!"
...
Mr. Wen stood on the stage at some point, said some great favors, and said thank you to all relatives and friends for coming. Most of them were generous words of face, with only the last sentence: "There are dinners everywhere in the garden, with 300 cold and hot dishes, 100 snacks, 100 wine, tea and fruits, please taste the food, and don't go home without getting drunk."
