The next day Rangiku, and Xin go to the Shihōin Clan to conduct a flower arrangent, just like Xin usually wears, he is using a plain white mask today, while Rangiku on the other hand is wearing a peach color Yukata.
Shihōin Cleaning compound is an ancient-looking mansion divided into 3 separate compounds, first is for the servant, second is for the visitors and recreational hall or maybe for gathering, and last is the main house where the main family lives.
When Xin and Rangiku arrive in the clan, there's a person waiting for them to guide them inside and to prevent so unnecessary trouble.
based on what they heard, there's a huge gathering of four clans today because the current first princess and the only heir of the clan will go to take the duty of the leader from now on.
And because the current heir is too young, the clan asks their vassal to attend the gathering so that the heir can choose the people he wants to get.
Based on the number of hidden guards around and the number of people that gather outside of the compound, it seems that this gathering is going to beco pretty important to everyone.
When they both arrive inside of the workroom, they see a bunch of different flowers around, and a gigantic vase for them to use.
Xin walks and check all the flowers that they going to use and seeing all of them are fresh and healthy with vibrant color and greenery, he nodded and start their work.
He then grabs one flower and subconsciously asks," Rangiku, can you tell the principle and elent of the flower arrangent?"
"Another test?"
"Yes, every day is a test for each of you, and for today, you're going to follow and answer all my questions."
"Can… we just do the work and forget to test?"
"No."
"You really strict master,"
"Did you know or not?"
"Of course i know."
"Then start," Xin then started to work.
"Flower Arranging is the art of organizing the design elents of plant material and other components according to artistic principles to achieve beauty, harmony, distinction, and expression."
"The terms flower arrangent, design or composition are synonymous. Components used in creating a design are plant material, container, background and chanics."
"Optional components that may be added to the design include accessories, featured objects, and bases. The principles and elents of design guide arrangers in creating and judges in analyzing flower arrangents. It is imperative that all flower arrangent judges be thoroughly familiar with these concepts."
"Good, at least you did not forget, let enlighten you again." Xin said.
"Balance is visual stability achieved by placing equal visual or actual weight on opposite sides of an imaginary central axis"
"There are two types of balance in flower arrangent, Symtrical balance and Asymtrical balance "
"Symtrical balance is achieved by placing equal amounts of similar materials on either side of a central axis."
"Asymtrical balance is balance without symtry achieved by placing the approximate equal visual weight of different elents on each side of a central axis."
"Dominance is control of a design by one or more of the elents. It implies the presence of primary and subordinate elents within the design."
"Contrast is the use of opposite or unlike elents to emphasize differences and add interest."
"Rhythm is a dominant visual path through a design. It is achieved by the use of gradation and repetition in a linear direction."
"Proportion is the relationship of one area of a floral design to other areas of the design and to the design as a whole."
"Scale is the size relationship of the individual component parts of a design to one another and the size relationship of the arrangent to the surrounding area."
"Now, what do you think is the next important thing in flower arrangent?" Xin asked.
"Of course color."
"That's right, Light, space, line, form, size, pattern, texture and color are the visual qualities used in creating a design and are common to all art forms. An arrangent is judged on the effective use of these elents."
"Color ans not every color, but the way you pick the right color for each arrangent, the bright the color to an its cheerful, the dark color arrangent does not an gloomy, the way you arrange color will show what kind of emotion you want to express even though you use dark color or bright color."
"So you an dark did not represent fear at all?" Soone asked.
Xin turned around and looked at the girl wearing palace clothing and calmly said," That's right."
"The color in the clothing of us did not represent anything, what represents the color in our clothing is the person who is wearing it."
"I don't know why you seem to read my thoughts but your explanation made wonder, can you tell what my color represents?"
Xin's bright eyes look at the girl and said," Tan skin that look healthy did not an ugly, the glossy on your skin did not an you use sothing, what I can see is the pride and unstable ambition that already penetrate deep in your bone, and the mischievous nature of yours that trying to hide because of your own birthplace."
He then picks the Moonflower and presents it to her," Moonflower, that only blooms in the night, hiding the true beauty in the darkness only showing after the moon finally shines, this represents you, Your Highness."
The girl looked at Xin's bright eyes and her lips slowly mischievous grin, she gladly accepted it and proudly said," You're an interesting florist, I will accept your offering."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Xin then starts to get back to work at a fast pace, using all the things he teaches to Rangiku, he made a center piece that visualizes honor, elegance, and power, but at the sa ti shows gentleness and cool.
After that he takes Rangiku with him and hurriedly walks out of the th compound. After all, he feels that a problem will co if he stays longer inside of the Shihōin Clan.
And just like what he expected, when he is about to step out from the th door, a bunch of n arrive and stop him from going out.
The girl that she gave the flower to a while ago walked out from a pillar, looking playful at Xin and asked," Why in hurry? Do you want to stay any longer?"
"Sorry, Your Highness, there's sothing unimportant waiting for back ho." Xin respectfully said.
"That sadly, well never mind, before you co back, I want you to know that I want you to join my team and I want you to beco my right-hand man."
"Sorry, I need to go." Xin teh grabs Rangiku and jumps away from them.
The girl grinned and said," Catch them, bring them back to ."
"Yes!"
