Following Zhao Mei to the first courtyard, there are four rooms used as flower arrangement rooms, each connected to an independent small courtyard where many varieties of flowers are grown.

Pushing aside each of them, Zhao Mei introduced them one by one: "There are actually two main schools of flower arrangement in the world: Eastern and Western, and there are even more detailed categories under them."

"Among the Eastern factions, the dominant one is our Chinese flower arrangement culture, which is more casual and free-spirited than the equally internationally popular Japanese flower arrangement."

"The Western style is dominated by the Amiens flower arrangement culture, which is quite different from the Eastern style. It tends to be complex and elegant, and it makes people feel lively just by looking at it."

When these four rooms were initially set up, Zhao Mei had planned to divide one room into each major category. The three mainstream categories were divided into three rooms, with one remaining as a backup.

Therefore, the types of flowers in each room and courtyard are arranged strictly according to the types commonly used by the faction, and the decoration is also carefully adjusted according to the differences and etiquette requirements of each place.

However, the students who signed up for the class had some choices, but He Rou and the other four did not. They had to learn from everyone one by one. After all, their existence was equivalent to an online trial class.

So after introducing all the rooms, Zhao Mei simply took the four people to the flower arrangement room representing the Chinese faction, which is also Flower Arrangement Room No. 1.

The decoration style of Flower Arranging Room No. 1 is undoubtedly Chinese style, with shiny wooden floors, comfortable-looking mahogany tables and chairs, and prepared flower arranging bases.

On the small table in the corner of the room, there was a unique, fresh and elegant incense burning.

Xia Huaiyu was the first to enter the room. Following the scent, he saw the tiny wisp of white smoke. The closer he sniffed, the more fragrant it became. He quickly turned around and asked, "Teacher Zhao, what's the name of this incense? Where did you buy it?"

Zhao Mei was helping everyone adjust the tools in front of them. When she heard this, she looked up and saw the direction Xia Huaiyu was pointing. She laughed and said, "I made this incense myself. I didn't give it a name. You probably can't buy it. I just made it casually. It's hard for me to restore it now."

Although Xia Huaiyu already knew from yesterday's experience that this principal, who was younger than them, was a hidden talent, he did not expect to receive a surprise today.

"Wow! That's amazing! Even though the teacher said it was just a random combination, it smells really good. It's strong but not pungent at all..."

Zhao Mei waved her hand and said, "It's not that difficult. You will also have an incense art class in a few days. You will know then. It's not difficult at all. It's very simple. Everyone is ready, you should come too."

At this time, except for Xia Huaiyu, the other three were already sitting upright in front of the table. He Rou couldn't help but give Xia Huaiyu a look.

Seeing this, Xia Huaiyu had no choice but to sit back in his seat in disappointment.

After seeing that everyone was seated, Zhao Mei officially started today's flower arrangement class.

Considering that none of the four of them had ever grown flowers, this class had to start from the basics.

First, we need to talk about the types of flowers commonly used in various Chinese flower arrangements, and at the same time explain the differences between Chinese flower arrangements and several other types of flower arrangements.

"After the scientific popularization just now, everyone should have realized that compared to Amiens and island countries' flower arrangement, or even other Eastern and Western factions, Chinese flower arrangement is relatively free-spirited, and the selection of flowers is not very particular."

"However, this situation isn't actually conducive to learning. Instead, it's easier to learn the more sophisticated island flower arrangement or the Amiens flower arrangement, which is more specific to the specific flower materials. As the oriental school, which can be said to be the forefather of flower arrangement, after mastering it, one can better integrate other schools."

"As for etiquette, Chinese flower arrangement emphasizes a calm mind and the cultivation of sentiment. Extraneous material possessions are unnecessary, as long as a calm and sincere heart is sufficient. This is in stark contrast to flower arrangement in the Japanese countries, where they place greater emphasis on ritual, with the flower arrangement itself playing a supporting role. You'll also experience this in the tea ceremony and incense ceremony later."

After roughly explaining all the basic knowledge, Zhao Mei felt dry-mouthed. Although the four people in front of her looked confused, she was too lazy to continue explaining and simply took them to the next step.

"Okay, I've pretty much taught you the basics. Now come and pick some flowers with me."

Leading the group to the courtyard, there were quite a variety of flowers to choose from in the staggered flower pots. The first class was not suitable for complete free play, so Zhao Mei planned to simply plant one herself and let the students imitate her ideas.

Thinking of this, Zhao Mei had an idea of ​​flower arrangement in her mind.

While picking up the flowers, he explained to the students the status of each flower in Chinese flower arrangement. After helping the four people pick up the flowers, he turned around and went back to the house.

"I'll give you a demonstration first. You just need to follow my ideas. You can replace all the flowers as you like."

After Zhao Mei said this, she began to arrange flowers very skillfully, while giving explanations at the same time.

"Chinese flower arrangement is all about being casual and free-spirited. I pick flowers I find on the road, or flowers that please my eyes while visiting a garden, and bring them home. I then randomly choose a few branches to use as a backdrop, as long as they can soothe my mood."

"At this time of year, winter is about to pass and spring is coming, so it's nice to preserve a touch of winter scenery."

"Just trim these tangled wintersweet branches a bit, and then add a bunch of orchids... that's it."

Compared to Zhao Mei's ease, the four students were stunned. They saw her holding the gardening shears, observing for a few times, and then cutting casually. After a few cuts, it was done.

There was a huge gap between the finished product and the flowers. The four people who originally thought the original flowers were beautiful couldn't help but feel that the flowers in their hands were messy after seeing Zhao Mei's work.

The simple wintersweet is adjusted to be clean and upright, with a bunch of orchids as a match, which does not steal the show but rather highlights the freshness and independence of the wintersweet.

Just as shocked as the four people were the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room. The comments had not yet come out of the luxurious decoration of the room.

Until Zhao Mei went to get the flowers, they were still discussing the value of the mahogany chair. As a result, Zhao Meilu's move was like pressing the pause button on the barrage of comments, and it took a long time before the barrage of comments appeared again.

"? What did I see? Was it magic?"

"This time can't be more than five minutes, right? Even if it's casual, five minutes is a bit outrageous, right? Help."

"Is it possible that if it weren't for the need to fix the wintersweet, it might not even take five minutes? It's just outrageous."

"Don't be surprised, let those who have learned flower arrangement be surprised first. The effect of just a few snips is unattainable without years of study and aesthetic appreciation."

"I agree. I just finished flower arranging class and was looking for something fun to do during break, but I nearly scared myself to death."
