The owners of the famous gardens suddenly looked at each other. They did not expect that the rise and fall of Luoyang would be tied to one person.
On the one hand, there is the rise and fall of Luoyang City, and on the other hand, there is the famous garden that they regard as a treasure. At the moment, the owners of the famous gardens are suddenly in a dilemma.
Fan Zheng looked around the crowd and said loudly: "Do you think that Fan wants to rob you of your famous garden? If it weren't for the delay in the third party in Medical City, Fan might have returned to Kaifeng City. What does the rise and fall of Luoyang have to do with Fan?"
"We have absolutely no intention of doing this!" The owners of the famous gardens quickly shook their heads.
They naturally knew that Fan Zheng's move had no selfish motives. Both the medical treatment of the city and the rejuvenation of Luoyang were of great benefit to the people of Luoyang, but their interests were greatly damaged.
How could Fan Zheng not know the thoughts of all the owners of famous gardens? He immediately said loudly: "Fan naturally understands your thoughts. Your famous gardens are taken care of carefully, and you usually put in a lot of effort and waste a lot of money. In exchange for Everyone can’t bear it, but Fan has a solution to both problems.”
"Please give me some advice, Mr. Fan!" Everyone nodded.
"Your famous gardens are only famous in Luoyang, but outside of Luoyang City, I am afraid no one knows about them. Now Mr. Li's eternally famous "Luoyang Famous Gardens" will be popular in the Song Dynasty. All famous gardens that agree to join the Luoyang Flower Fair will Lord Li will write it down in the Records of Famous Gardens in Luoyang and publicize it in the court newspapers. It is not impossible that your famous gardens will be famous in the Song Dynasty, and even be spread throughout the ages!" Fan Zheng pointed at Li Kefei and said solemnly.
"Li is willing to do his best to revitalize Luoyang."
The owners of the famous gardens couldn't help but hold their breath. They took good care of their gardens and gradually turned their gardens into one of the nineteen most prestigious gardens in Luoyang. Naturally, they valued this reputation.
If you can rely on Li Kefei's eternally famous "Luoyang Famous Gardens" to let the gardens under your name be passed down through the ages, this will be an irresistible temptation.
Of course, Fan Zheng also has another meaning, that is, if he does not agree to join the Luoyang Flower Club, he will naturally not be included in the Luoyang Famous Gardens. As time goes by, his reputation will definitely decline. It's unacceptable.
"Secondly, the Luoyang Peony Flower Fair lasts for about half a month. Once the Luoyang Flower Fair becomes known to the world, tourists from all over the world will definitely come here. Luoyang Prefecture agrees that all famous gardens in Luoyang will collect corresponding and reasonable admission fees, or share them. A pass that allows you to enjoy the entire Luoyang Famous Garden, or a ticket to enter the park alone! In return for your maintenance and management of the famous garden!" Fan Zheng linked the rise and fall of the Peony Fair to the interests of the owners of the famous gardens. .
"Famous garden tickets?"
Immediately, the owners of the famous gardens were excited. Although the famous gardens are good, they are a bottomless pit. When their families are prosperous, maintaining the famous gardens will naturally not be a problem. Once the family declines, the huge maintenance and repair costs of the famous gardens will be Heavy expenses.
If you can join the Luoyang Flower Club and take advantage of the reputation of the government, you can not only make your garden famous in the Song Dynasty, but also get a certain amount of income. Wouldn't it be two birds with one stone?
"Of course, as a condition, after the Peony Fair, your famous garden must be turned into a park and open to the people of Luoyang for free. After all, if your famous garden wants to become famous in the Song Dynasty, it needs the full support of the people of Luoyang, and it will naturally be rewarded." Fan Zheng said his final goal was that once the famous gardens in Luoyang are opened, there will be nineteen more parks with beautiful scenery in Luoyang City, and the Luoyang government will be able to implement the medical city as a third party without spending much money. .
"The Luoyang Flower Fair became famous throughout the Song Dynasty! The garden owners gained both fame and fortune, and the people benefited from it. This is really killing three birds with one stone." Han Wei exclaimed.
"I have long heard that Fan Taicheng has the skills to heal the country! Now that the Luoyang Flower Party is out, Luoyang's revival is just around the corner."
………………
All Luoyang officials praised him one after another.
As soon as the Luoyang Flower Fair came out, Luoyang Mansion could use a number of famous Luoyang gardens without spending much money, but it could sharply enhance the reputation of Luoyang. This was a life-saving medicine for Luoyang Mansion, which had just experienced the Luoyang epidemic.
For many officials, the Luoyang Flower Fair became famous throughout the Song Dynasty and the city of Luoyang became famous, which was a great political achievement. It was also a glorious resume for future promotions, so all the officials naturally gave their full support.
"We are willing to follow the imperial envoy and do our best to revitalize Luoyang."
All the owners of famous gardens in Luoyang bowed their heads one after another.
Some of them are sincerely interested in the rejuvenation of Luoyang, while others are attracted by the fame and fortune brought by the Luoyang Flower Fair.
They also followed the trend. After all, the Luoyang Flower Fair was for the revitalization of Luoyang City. If they did not participate in the grand event, not only would their famous garden be squeezed out and decline day by day, but they would also offend the officials of Luoyang Mansion. The future situation might not be too good. .
"Okay! Since everyone in Luoyang is united and Luoyang's renaissance can be expected, Fan will now ask Master Su to announce the good news of the Luoyang Flower Fair in his newspaper. Mr. Li will write notes for the famous gardens in Luoyang as soon as possible. Each issue of the Di newspaper will promote the names of several famous gardens that have arrived, and let all the famous gardens be spread throughout the Song Dynasty before the Luoyang Flower Fair." Fan Zheng said strategizing.
"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"
In the Shendu Garden, all the officials in Luoyang couldn't help but sigh.
It was rumored by both the government and the public that the evil doctor Fan Zhengai came up with evil prescriptions, and the officials highly believed in him. Many officials even wrote memorials to admonish the officials for this purpose.
However, when they personally experienced Fan Zheng's medical prescriptions, they found that Fan Zheng did not only give evil prescriptions, but also good prescriptions. The Luoyang Flower Club not only gave a correct prescription, but also took into account the interests of all parties, so that no one had any reason to refuse.
"On behalf of the people of Luoyang, I would like to thank Lord Fan for saving Luoyang twice!" Han Wei said solemnly.
Everyone also bowed deeply to Fan Zheng. Fan Zheng first led the doctors to quell the epidemic in Luoyang in March, saving the people of Luoyang from the fire and water. Later, he gave Luoyang the evil recipe of the Luoyang Flower Party, and planned the revival of Luoyang. Can wait.
Li Qingzhao on the side couldn't help but look proudly at her lover who was surrounded by stars. Fan Zheng had never let her down.
Fan Zheng accepted the ceremony calmly and said: "There is still a short time before the peonies bloom. Now that we have reached an agreement, you can go ahead and make preparations. This year is the first Luoyang Peony Fair, and there must be no room for failure."
"I'll understand later!"
Luoyang officials and the owners of famous gardens nodded solemnly and immediately began to take action to build momentum for the first Luoyang Flower Fair.
Soon everyone left, and only Fan Zheng and Li Qingzhao were left in the Shendu Garden.
The two looked at each other, and the emotion in their eyes could no longer be hidden.
At the moment, the two of them were like a couple of gods, visiting the most famous Shendu Garden in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of Shendu Garden along the way, the two got closer and closer, and their behavior became more and more intimate.
After a long time, Li Qingzhao broke away from Fan Zheng's arms with a blushing face. She was brave enough to make a lifelong commitment to Fan Zheng, but in broad daylight and in the crowded Shendu Garden, she was still shy.
"Today Fan Lang gave up the opportunity to become famous to his father. I wonder if he has a masterpiece in mind." Li Qingzhao quickly changed the subject.
Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "At that time, all I could think about was you. Where could I find any good works!"
Li Qingzhao rolled his eyes at Fan Zheng and said, "Mr. Fan, please don't be frivolous. Give up the opportunity to my father. If you have a good work, it will be like a pearl covered in dust. I don't want my father to bear this sin."
Fan Zheng smiled charmingly and said, "I don't have any good works, but I do have a few rudimentary poems."
"Oh!" Li Qingzhao's eyes suddenly lit up.
Fan Zheng leaned over and whispered in Li Qingzhao's ear: "If we can stay together after we return, we will die under the peonies, and we will live like ghosts."
"Death under the peonies, even being a ghost is romantic."
Li Qingzhao suddenly trembled when she heard the words. The famous sayings that have been popular throughout the ages were heard in her ears, coupled with Fan Zheng's frivolous tone, which gave her a double shock to her body and heart.
With her knowledge, she naturally knew that the "romantic" here did not mean bohemian, but the romantic meaning of "a true celebrity comes from the romantic". However, she knew that Fan Zheng was not a gentleman who could sit back and relax, otherwise he would not be able to do it. Since he made a lifelong decision with her privately, there may be another meaning in his poems.
"My birthday has passed and I am eighteen years old." Li Qingzhao lowered his head and said shyly.
Fan Zheng hugged her into his arms again and said with pity: "It's happened in Luoyang. We will go back to Chang'an together and get married immediately."
"good!"
Li Qingzhao responded solemnly.
The two of them have gone through a private life, eternal love and poetry, and the test of life and death during the Luoyang epidemic. Now their love is finally about to come true.
……………………
"Luoyang Flower Party!"
As soon as the Di newspaper was published, it immediately attracted the attention of people all over the world.
Luoyang was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the rumors about Peony were well known all over the world. In particular, the feud between Wu Zetian and Peony was well known and talked about by everyone.
Every spring in the past dynasties, scholars went to Luoyang to appreciate the beauty of peonies. Not to mention that this year, Luoyang City organized a Peony Flower Festival. All nineteen of the most prestigious gardens were opened to the public, immediately attracting a large number of literati and flower lovers. of attention.
"Records of Famous Gardens in Luoyang: Dong's West Garden and Dong's East Garden."
At the same time, Li Kefei's "Notes on Famous Gardens in Luoyang" was published in the Di newspaper and immediately spread among the literati.
"I once saw the holy face of Dong's Xiyuan, and I still can't forget it." A scholar in Kaifeng City recalled.
Others echoed: "Dong's West Garden has now been merged into Shendu Garden, and it is open to the public free of charge. It is probably even better than before in terms of scale and splendor."
"There is also Du Paradise! Zhao and Han Wang's Garden are all unique! It's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to see them back then. Today they are all open to the public. Don't miss this opportunity."
Countless literati in Kaifeng are eager to try it.
Luoyang's famous gardens are extremely famous, but most of them are private gardens, and entering them requires a lot of human connections. Many famous gardens are only known by their names but never seen by others. Nowadays, you only need to spend a little money to see them. Naturally my heart beats.
Coupled with the efforts of Luoyang City to promote the first Luoyang Peony Fair, it added a bit of fame to this feast.
However, it is unexpected that both Luoyang City’s unremitting propaganda and Li Kefei’s popular Luoyang Famous Gardens failed to match Fan Zheng’s half-sentence poem.
"Death under the peonies, you can be a ghost even if you die!"
As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately spread throughout the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible.
Countless people talked about it, and some good people linked the love between Luoyang Mudan and Fan Li.
"I want to see how beautiful peonies are, and the great evil doctor Fan Zheng is so obsessed with them." A Kaifeng citizen said with a smack of his tongue.
"Hehehehe! Do you think the peony flower is really a peony flower? That is as beautiful as a peony. She is also charming even if she is a ghost. Of course she is..." A fat-bellied merchant said with a lewd smile.
"It's nonsense! This kind of romance is not what you say is obscene." Some literati tried their best to defend, but they were defeated by the unanimous support of countless people.
Di Bao and Li Kefei's "Luoyang Famous Garden" can only make the hearts of literati and elegant people move. However, Fan Zheng's sentence "Death under the peonies is a romantic thing, but it is difficult to distinguish between elegance and vulgarity", which immediately aroused heated discussion among the people all over the world.
However, this famous saying, which is widely regarded as a common saying, not only did not affect the reputation of Luoyang Flower Fair, but made Luoyang Flower Fair a sensation in the Song Dynasty, attracting a large number of people to come to Luoyang to see the beauty of peonies. It was simply evil.
"Evil recipe! Evil recipe again!"
Everyone in Luoyang couldn't help but have strange expressions on their faces.
Needless to say, during Fan Zheng's trip to Luoyang, the epidemic was quelled in March and Luoyang was saved from the fire and water.
Although the creativity of the Peony Flower Fair was unexpected, it was within the normal range and benefited Luoyang City a lot.
However, they forgot that Fan Zheng was most famous not only for his medical skills, but also for his unbeatable evil prescriptions.
……………………
Outside Luoyang City,
Fan Zheng finally finished his trip to Luoyang and was about to return to Luoyang City. A group of Luoyang officials saw Fan Zheng off at the East Gate.
A group of Luoyang officials looked at Fan Zheng with strange eyes. Outside the East City Gate, there was an endless stream of tourists rushing to Luoyang City from other places to see the Peony Flower Festival. Luoyang was a bit more prosperous than before the epidemic, and even... Chasing the former dynasty to Luoyang was a grand event in the capital.
"It's cool to be a ghost under the peonies!"
It is simply unbelievable that a beautiful sentence that is both elegant and difficult to distinguish has caused ten times the sensation of "Luoyang Famous Garden".
"The mountains are high and the rivers are long. See you soon!"
Fan Zheng cupped his hands towards the Luoyang officials.
"Have a good trip, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!" All the officials in Luoyang said with grateful faces, but Li Kefei was the only one who had a bad look on his face.
He died under the peony flowers, and he was also charming even as a ghost. Not only did he bring huge influence to the Luoyang Peony Fair, but it also overshadowed his famous work "Luoyang Famous Gardens".
However, this was not the reason for his anger. What really made him angry was that this sentence was written by Fan Zheng to his daughter Li Qingzhao.
The two of them were both in their youth, a time when they were ignorant and impulsive, but they had decided to remain private for the rest of their lives. Now that they were writing such ambiguous poems, how could he not worry that they would taste the forbidden fruit.
Li Qingzhao was immediately banned on the grounds that men and women were not allowed to meet before marriage. Even when Fan Zheng left Luoyang this time, he did not come to see him off.
"I wonder when my father-in-law will return to Kaifeng!" Fan Zheng said to please Li Kefei.
Li Kefei's face darkened and he said, "Don't worry, Li will naturally return to Kaifeng as soon as the Luoyang Flower Fair is over."
"The marriage between my son-in-law and Qingzhao is scheduled to take place after the Luoyang Flower Party." Fan Zheng said happily after getting the exact date.
Li Kefei's face twitched. His parents had always ordered him to be a matchmaker, but as his son-in-law, Fan Zheng actually discussed the wedding date with him directly, which seemed extremely unexpected.
However, thinking that my daughter was already eighteen years old, according to folk customs, she would have already gotten married and had children, let alone the two of them having a private life. Now there are rumors that it is suspected that if she stays, she will become an enemy, so she nodded in acquiescence. .
"Hahaha! Congratulations, Mr. Imperial Envoy, and Mr. Li, on your marriage!"
"Master Fan is a miracle doctor in this world, and Miss Li is the most talented woman in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that they are a match made in heaven."
……………………
A group of Luoyang officials saw that Fan Zheng's wedding date had been decided! They all congratulated each other.
"Thank you for your kind words, sir. Fan will return to Kaifeng to prepare for the wedding!"
Fan Zheng laughed, and with the biggest gain from his trip to Luoyang, he took the last group of doctors on the way back to Kaifeng.
