As soon as they entered the Heavenly Fragrance Garden, a fragrance assailed their noses. The further they walked, the stronger the fragrance in the garden. He saw that dozens of varieties of osmanthus trees in the osmanthus forest in the garden had already bloomed, and there was no lack of rare hundred-year-old trees. The osmanthus tree was covered with small flower buds, one by one, competing to reveal their delicate faces. Wherever the breeze passed, the garden was filled with a faint fragrance.
"It's not a human race. It moved from the middle of the moon. Guanghan Fragrance was lit, and the whole mountain was blown away.”Yun Ge unconsciously recited it while intoxicated by the fragrance of the flowers.
Gao Tian caught up and replied,"Cloud Pigeon, what a good poem,'A little fragrance in the vast cold, blowing it all over the mountains'. Where did this good poem come from?"”
"Yang Wanli's 'Ode to Osmanthus' from the Southern Song Dynasty. I suddenly remembered."
Jiang Tao smiled and said," Our Pigeon has a lot of artistic cells. She's in a good mood to attend this rare flower festival where the lotus and osmanthus flowers are appreciated together."”
The three of them strolled in the garden toward the group of people sitting by the lake.
Yun Ge was pleasantly surprised along the way." The fragrance of the flowers is so intoxicating. Looking at the flowers and smelling the fragrance at the same time is really a rare enjoyment in life."”
Gao Tian explained," Yunge, this Tianxiang Garden is the largest building complex in Guihu Park. It's based on the poem of Song Zhiwen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty,'The laurel leaves fall in the moon, and the heavenly fragrance clouds float outside.' This garden was located in the center of Guihu Park. Look at the green grass around it, the flowers and trees are lush, the pavilions are hidden, the pink lotus lingbo, the laurel pistil fragrance, it is the most unique corner of the lake. Its main building was a pavilion that was about 30 meters tall. It stood in the clouds, hence the name Cloud Beyond Tower!”Gao Tian spat out a lot of literary words in one breath.
"Pigeon, look at how your brother introduced Tianxiang Garden. He's so eloquent. There's a series of poems and idioms. I'm afraid you think he's not elegant enough.”
Gao Tian lightly punched Jiang Tao. "Brother! Don't embarrass me in front of your sister."
"Pigeon, you don't know that your brother has long planned to bring you to this year's Osmanthus Festival. He had planned this even more carefully than his engagement ceremony. Fortunately, we succeeded today."
"Brother, so it was arranged on purpose. Thank you for thinking so much for Yun Ge."
"It's not just you, but our team members as well. Although they traveled to every corner of the city every day, no one had the chance to come to Xiang City's flower festival and admire the fragrance of the flowers. Today, thanks to brother Jiang's arrangement, they finally had the chance to admire the flowers and worship the moon. I heard that the Osmanthus Lake Garden is one of the top five places in our country to admire osmanthus. Since Yang Shengan, the top scholar of Ming Dynasty, planted osmanthus along the lake, it has been planted for more than 500 years. Although the surface of the lake was less than a hundred acres, the lakeshore was dense with trees and the garden was full of laurel trees. There were more than 20 buildings, terraces, pavilions, and pavilions along the lake. Year after year, the osmanthus flowers on this lake were layered and lush. There were five traditional varieties of osmanthus, namely golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus, red osmanthus, four-season osmanthus, and firewood osmanthus. In order to enrich this year's Osmanthus Flower Art Festival, Guihu specially introduced hundreds of new varieties such as "Su Gui" and "Snow Gui" from other places. In addition, there were more than 1000 pots of "Buddha's Pearl" potted plants all over the garden, adding to the art festival. It will definitely make you intoxicated in the fragrance of flowers and intoxicated in the color of flowers. Look, look at our comrades. They are all as happy as children.”
The three of them immediately joined Gao Tian's team.
Without waiting for Gao Tian's introduction, everyone stood up and greeted him. "Hello, Sergeant Gao! Hello, Captain Jiang! Hello, sister-in-law!"
"I'm your younger sister." Yun Ge corrected him, but it was obviously useless.
"Sit, sit, everyone sit."
These usually brave and brave police officers were now dressed in casual clothes and sitting lazily in the natural oxygen bar, letting the autumn wind brush away their physical and mental fatigue. They picked up a cup of steaming tea and slowly blew away the tea foam in the cup, savoring the fragrance of the tea and feeling the harmony between nature and people.
Yun Ge, Gao Tian, and Jiang Tao also sat down by the lake, carefully tasting the four-heart tea that the waiter had just served. His previously chaotic emotions seemed to have settled down all of a sudden.
Yun Ge's gaze fell on the lake. On the surface of the lake, the lotus leaves and flowers were squeezed together. The most eye-catching thing was the lotus flower that was as white as jade. It was demure, pure, and " unstained from the mud." The pink and bright lotus flowers were even more beautiful. One by one, they bloomed with their heads held high and were supported by the green calyx, standing gracefully. The petals of the lotuses that had bloomed earlier had fallen, and the pods were like emeralds on the flower holders. The lotus leaves were still holding the agate-like dewdrops. "Scattered lotuses, drops of true pearls rain." It was simply a beautiful landscape painting that could not be compared to a painting by a great painter.
"Brother, the osmanthus flowers are already in bloom, so why are there still lotus flowers in the lake? What a wonderful sight."
"Pigeon, you don't know. The Gui Lake in Xiangcheng was the only artificial lake in the country. It had evolved from the post station garden in the Tang and Song Dynasties to the memorial garden of Yang Sheng 'an, a famous person in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Its osmanthus and lotus flowers were one of the five major osmanthus viewing spots in the country and one of the eight lotus viewing spots in the country. Therefore, the lotus flowers in Gui Lake had a long history. They had been planted since the early Tang Dynasty. Today, there were more than 100 kinds of lotus flowers in Gui Lake. Due to the variety, the flowering period was different. Every midsummer and early autumn, green leaves would cover the sky, thousands of lotuses would bloom, and the fragrance would drift thousands of miles until late autumn. In addition, the weather this year was milder and humid than usual. It was drizzling for a long time at the beginning of autumn, which was especially suitable for the osmanthus flowering period. This led to the early blooming of some varieties of osmanthus along the lake, which created the largest grand occasion in the history of Gui Lake. This year, this wonder attracted many tourists from home and abroad to come here to admire the lotus. It has already made the literati and literati come here to show off their coquettishness and bend their backs. Look at the lotus flower fragrance of this laurel lake. It's really unforgettable.”
"That's why, Pigeon, your Brother Gao Tian would rather give up the engagement cocktail party than let go of this good date of enjoying the lotus and osmanthus together.”
"Brother, can you stop bothering me with the engagement? Let me take a good breath and enjoy the beautiful scenery.”
"That's right. Brother, Brother Tao, why don't we let everyone play a poetry game together? Everyone recited a poem related to lotus flowers and osmanthus flowers. It didn't matter if it was ancient or modern, as long as it had the meaning of flowers. If he couldn't catch it, he would be punished to perform for everyone. How is it?"
"Alright, that's a good suggestion. But Gao Tian, can these burly martial artists under you say poetry?”
"Hey, you're underestimating us. It was just a poem. How do you know there are no poets among them without trying?”
"Alright then. Brother, tell everyone that we'll start now.”
"Alright." Gao Tian turned around and said to his teammates who were drinking tea and chatting,""Hey, friends, in order to not let down this perfect time, let's play a game of literati. Everyone took turns to recite a poem about lotus flowers or osmanthus flowers, whether it was self-composed or recited by ancient and modern scholars. If anyone couldn't answer, they would be punished by drinking and performing.”
"Drinking is okay, but reciting poems is a dead end.”
"What are you afraid of? Let's stand up first. Otherwise, Jiang Tao will really look down on us.”
"Alright, bro, I'll start. You take the second, and bro Tao takes the third.”
"The beauty is peerless," said Yun Ge."Who will pass on the fragrance?”Gao Tian thought for a while and recited," The roots are long, the lotus heart is bitter.”
Jiang Tao immediately added,"Little Lotus has just revealed its sharp tip, but there are already dragonflies standing on it."”The next one was not picked up. Everyone jeered for him to drink and sing. He had to drink a glass of beer as punishment, and the team insisted that he perform a show for everyone. He had no choice but to sing a tone-deaf song for everyone, which made everyone bend over with laughter.
Gao Tian's team members really gave him face. Although there were a few who were punished, there were also many beautiful poems mixed with ancient poems and famous sayings:
" The flowers and the full moon are beautiful. The water and the wind are gentle."
" The lotus flowers are tender, and the wind blows the green flowers."
"The stamens are heavy, and the jade is layered." "Fragrant jade, thousands of beauties shining on the water." "Wind Garment and Water Pendant, Lingbo Immortal Steps."
Yun Ge wrote down their good poems one by one.
