In mid-May, the weather changed from gloomy to clear. Occasionally there are clear and rainy days, but also a day or two of bleakness. The flowers on the balcony spread rapidly, from the moon season to the blue daisy, to the small lily, and then to the hydrangeas... The most popular thing now is bellflower.
Bellflower. The flowers resemble bell leaves. I bought it from the TikTok live broadcast room and carefully transplanted it into a flower pot. However, in two or three days, the buds were awakened by the spring breeze, and strings of pink bells were clustered, like flowers held in the hands of a bride.
Of course, bellflowers are rarely chosen as wedding flowers. Many celebrity stars prefer to choose the delicate lily of the valley as a festive embellishment. The lily of the valley blooms in May, and it is also delicately shaped, small and delicate, and the flowers are densely packed together, like a hanging bell. At first glance, it doesn't seem much different from bellflowers. In fact, bellflowers belong to the bellflower family and lily of the valley belongs to the lily family. The main outlet of plants in the bellflower family is medicinal, and in addition to medicinal uses, more species of lily plants have ornamental value. For example, Lily of the Valley is revered as the national flower of Finland, revered by Hokkaido as a regional representative flower, and described by Norse mythology as a sacred flower dedicated to the goddess. Westerners generally love lily of the valley. The French also set up a special "Lily of the Valley Festival" for Lily of the Valley, which is dated May 1st. On the first of May, the working people of China are celebrating their holiday, but the President of France is holding a commemorative ceremony for a plant at the Elysee Palace. Due to its noble status, lily of the valley is not cheap in flower shops. And bellflowers ... I never saw it in a flower shop.
There is a flower shop near the exit of my neighborhood, and I am a regular customer. Always buy budding roses, half-open lilies, and stretched sunflowers. The owner is equipped with some stars and small daisies, wrapped in colorful paper, which is very amiable. I take it back and insert the bottle, which usually lasts for about two weeks. Later, in order to save money, I planted dozens of potted plants on my balcony, excluding those that were difficult to feed and had died thoroughly, and more than 30 kinds of flowers had been "camped" in my house and grew twice as strong.
Can it not be stout? I took the expired deep-sea fish oil and soy lecithin for flower fertilizer. Bellflowers are especially good for these two. It multiplies extremely quickly, takes root on the ground, and has a solid skin that is easy to raise. As long as the water and fertilizer are in place, it is easy to "burst the pot". If the sun is too hot, it is sunburned, and after a flood, it can stand up with its head held high, and continue to sing silently with its trumpet-like head on its back.
I looked at it. Glamorous is very colorful, and vulgar is also vulgar. It does lack the gentle elegance, white and beautiful of Lily of the Valley, just like everyone's graceful and noble fan. If the lily of the valley is compared to the dignified and reserved Xing Xiuyan in "Dream of Red Mansions", the bellflower is easy to remind me of the spicy and strong Pang Chunmei in "Golden Bottle Mei". Pang Chunmei, sexually intelligent, loves waves, is good at coping, and has a bit of color. It was originally sold to Ximen Qing's envoy girl. She has an arrogant personality, not to mention that ordinary maids do not put it in their eyes, even Ximen Qing, she dares to play some petty sexual fighting spirit without anything. The rest of those aunts, who provokes her, who she gives a good look. Sun Xue'e wanted to bully her with her status as a concubine, and Pang Chunmei dared to confront her. Pan Jinlian said that she was her master, and she rushed in the face when she was unhappy. This violent temper, Qingwen saw that she was going to sweat, Baojiao was going to be soft when she saw it, and Wei Yingluo in "Yanxi Raiders" had to give her a thumbs up.
Temper is violent, Pang Chunmei is not an unreasonable person. In the filthy Ximen Mansion, she has never had any intention of competing for favors. Ximen Qing occupied her body, which also stemmed from the obligation of "housewife". In ancient times, the slaves who signed the deed of sale, Mo said that they had no right to personal freedom, and even the most basic human dignity was repeatedly trampled on by their masters. Yan Shifan, a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, got up every morning to spit and spit, and he had to kneel on the ground and open his mouth to use him as a spittoon. Ping'er in "Dream of Red Mansions" mixed up in Rongguo Mansion, and also followed Jia Lian for several years, but in fact she is still a poor person who has no name, no relatives, and no children, and acts as a "punching bag" between Jia Lian and Sister Feng. A slave is a slave and is a "pariah" in feudal society. Being able to climb to the status of a concubine by serving the lord of the family house is already the best way out for female slaves. Pang Chunmei disdained this road. She scorned the people in Ximen Qing's family in her bones, except for Pan Jinlian. In the twenty-ninth episode of "Golden Bottle Mei", Wu Xiangshi gave Ximen Qing's family a family to look at Chunmei, and when it was Chunmei's turn, Wu Xiangshi commented: "If the mountain roots continue, they will have noble husbands and give birth to sons; The two foreheads are facing the arch, and the Lord will wear a crown of beads in his early years. "Wu Yueniang listened, her heart was unhappy, sarcastic that no one in the Ximen family was an official, where could Pang Chunmei ask for the crown? Besides, even if there is a crown of pearls, it should be worn on the head of her eldest wife. Pang Chunmei did not bow down, and came to say: "It's not a long time to only be a slave in your family!" The implication is: You smelly mother-in-law is worried that I will take your place, where do you know that my aunt and grandmother can't look at this acre of land in Ximen Mansion at all.
The more Pang Chunmei dragged, the more Ximen Qing liked her. Ximen Qing has always been domineering, self-respecting, beating and scolding people as a common thing. Li Ping'er was whipped by him, Sun Xue'e ate his fists and feet, and Pan Jinlian was also beaten by him. He never scolded Chunmei. After Ximen Qing's death, Pang Chunmei was sold into the garrison mansion, but was blessed by misfortune and was favored by Zhou Shoubei, gave birth to a boy, and smoothly climbed to the "throne" of the garrison lady.
Throughout the book "Jin Pingmei", Pang Chunmei can be regarded as the most spontaneous and decent character who lives well. She has not read any books, nor does she have the support of her native family, she is nothing more than a low-level woman with a life of ups and downs. Her heart is higher than the sky, as a lowly, her affair is dexterous and resentful, but she defends her rights and interests in house fights, and she is not humble and indecent. When she had no personal freedom, she obeyed Pan Jinlian's wishes and committed herself to Ximen Qing. When she met the love of her heart, she bravely threw herself into Chen Jingwei's arms. Unfortunately, when Pang Chunmei turned over in adversity and achieved a class leap, she fell into lust and love, first secretly hooked up with Chen Jingwei, and then mixed with Zhou Yi, and suffered from bone steaming for life, still indulged in adultery, and finally broke off on Jiaotou, Fang Hua was only 29 years old.
Perhaps, Pang Chunmei's values are like bellflowers, committed to the free and brilliant years of life, not seeking a long time, but seeking a happy heart. Although, young she does not know whether this choice is right or wrong? Just like bellflowers, if the flowering period lasts for two months, it will become decaying and it will be difficult to survive the winter. However, it is precisely with this special plant that nature will give people rich associations and feelings!
