Chapter 174 Peach Blossom Tree

It's a pity that Prime Minister Ji and the legendary princess were characters more than 100 years ago, and she will never see these two legendary characters.

"I've heard of Taoyuan before, but I've never been there." Yan Rong held his sister's hand and looked around to admire the peach blossoms on the tree.

Taoyuan has been around for more than 100 years, and the largest of these peach trees is almost [-] years old, and they are very thick.

The peach tree grows very luxuriantly, but there are not so many young leaves growing, but more flowers blooming.

For more than 100 years, this peach orchard has been well protected no matter what. After all, there are nothing but peach trees. Even in troubled times, no one thought of digging up all the trees in the peach orchard.

These peach trees are growing very well, and the flowers are blooming beautifully.

"Sister-in-law Jiu, will all these peach trees bear fruit?" Yan Rong looked at Chen Ting and asked.

Yan Rong and Yan Ke still liked the sister-in-law Chen Ju, but Yun Jieyu had only one daughter, Yan Rong, and no son.Yang Chongyi did have a son, but he was only four years old now, so Yan Rong and Yan Ke did not have an elder brother who was a mother.

Their feelings towards other royal brothers and sisters-in-law are very general, they are just polite and not close.Of course, they rarely saw this brother Yan Lizhou, and of course they didn't have a good relationship.

However, after more than half an hour of contact, the two of them have a good feeling for Chen Ju, the ninth sister-in-law, and they like her very much.

Yan Rong looked at Chen Ting very affectionately and asked, "Sister-in-law Jiu, I heard that peaches in Taoyuan are very valuable and delicious when ripe."

Taoyuan was jointly built by Prime Minister Ji and Emperor Jiafeng in the previous dynasty, and the income was shared by them later, and Prime Minister Ji can be regarded as half of the royal family of the previous dynasty.

So it was replaced by the Yong Dynasty, Taoyuan also belonged to the royal family, it belonged to the public property of the royal family, and belonged to the emperor.

Every year when the peaches in Taoyuan are ripe, some people will send the peaches to the palace for the emperor and empress, and the emperor will also give some to the favored concubines.

Yan Rong and Yan Ke's mother and concubine are not considered favored, especially Yun Jieyu, she has only given birth to one daughter after many years in the palace, which shows that she is indeed not very favored.

Because of this, the two of them have hardly eaten the peaches that Taoyuan sent to the palace over the years. Even if they ate peaches, they were either grown by themselves in the courtyard of the palace, or grown by Huangzhuang.

The peaches in Taoyuan are blessed, so it is difficult to eat them.

After all, it was planted by Prime Minister Ji of the famous Sanyuan Jidi in the previous dynasty. The combination of Emperor Jiafeng and Prime Minister Ji of the previous dynasty created a prosperous age, which has always been very desirable.

So the peaches in the Taoyuan also have a good meaning.

Yan Rong looked up at the tall peach tree and said, "Sister-in-law Jiu, will all the peach trees in the peach garden bear fruit? Such a large peach garden can bear a lot of fruit, right?"

Since there are so many peaches in Taoyuan, why has she hardly eaten peaches in Taoyuan?

Why can't there be enough peaches from nearly [-] mu of peach groves?

Chen Ju glanced at a peach tree next to it. It had a thick trunk and branches with fangs and claws. The peach blossoms in full bloom on the branches were full of fragrance.

"Look at this peach tree, it's five-color green peach." Chen Ju pointed to the peach tree and said to Yan Rong, "Five-color green peach is a kind of peach blossom tree, and green peach is a kind of ornamental peach blossom tree. Fruit. Even if it can bear fruit, it cannot be eaten."

"This peach orchard should have many peach blossom trees of this kind, so not all peach trees in such a large peach orchard can bear fruit." Chen Ting said with a smile.

"Even if the peach orchard is very large and there are many peach trees in it, if there are not many peach trees that bear fruit, there will not be many peach trees that bear fruit."

What's more, in ancient times, the output of crops was very small, so even if there are many peach trees in this peach garden, there will not be many peach trees when they bear fruit.

"You all forgot when you were in class?" Yan Long heard what Yan Rong and his sister-in-law said, looked at his sister and said, "There are millions of peach trees in Taoyuan, of which 60 are peach trees, basically for ornamental purposes. of."

"The remaining 40 peach trees don't bear many fruits."

Yan Long thought about the information about Taoyuan that he had seen before, the 40 peach trees did not produce many fruits, and the peaches sent to the palace had to be plump, beautiful, large, and sweet. kind.

So after picking and picking, there are not many peaches that can be sent to the palace. Of course, these princesses who are not very favored can't eat the peaches sent in by Taoyuan every year.

And the peaches in Taoyuan will be watched by the big families and nobles every year when they bear fruit. Everyone wants to be blessed, and they want their children and grandchildren to be able to eat peaches in Taoyuan, and then they will be as good as Prime Minister Ji of the previous dynasty. .

Even though Prime Minister Ji was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, he was still an idol in the Yong Dynasty. Countless people have not forgotten him after more than a hundred years, and still praise his deeds.

Therefore, the peaches in Taoyuan are very popular, and the seasons are really lively every year.

"Ah? There are only 40 peach trees out of a million that can bear fruit?" Yan Rong said regretfully after hearing her sister's words, "How great would it be if all of them were peach trees that could bear fruit?"

"What do you plant a tree that only blooms but doesn't bear fruit?" Yan Rong muttered.

"Sister Rong'er, I can't let my father and masters hear these words." Yan Ke looked at his sister helplessly and said, "Peach blossom trees are also very valuable."

Yan Ke gave her sister the meaning of this peach garden, and the significance of the peach tree to those literati, etc., and the grand scene when the peach blossoms are in full bloom every year.

Yan Rong questioned and refuted a sentence or two after listening, and the two sisters forgot the existence of other people while talking.

Chen Ju looked at the two little princesses. The relationship between these two is really good, not the kind of plastic sisters.

"How is it? Are you in a good mood today when you come out to play?" Chen Ju asked Yan Long.

Yan Long nodded and smiled, "Well, how can you be in a bad mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery?"

Xue Mingzhu also chatted with Yan Long for a while, and now hearing that everyone was in a good mood, she smiled and said, "Are you tired from walking? Let's go to the pavilion over there to rest? Have some snacks?"

"The peach blossom cakes and cakes here in Taoyuan are very good. I heard that the peach blossom stuffing is also delicious." Xue Mingzhu pointed to a pavilion in front of her.

Since Taoyuan was originally open for literati to visit the garden, there are a lot of pavilions where they can rest, so that those literati can rest or splash ink.

Taoyuan has really left a lot of pen and ink articles and famous paintings. Taoyuan is not only a place to visit gardens and enjoy flowers, but also has many exhibitions of calligraphy and painting.

This is also the reason why Chen Ju suspects that Prime Minister Ji is a time traveler, because the places around Taoyuan where calligraphy and painting are exhibited are really like museums or exhibition halls.
