采蘭贈芍 - 《重編國語辭典修訂本》
https://dict.revised.moe.edu.tw/dictView.jsp?ID=141202&la=0&powerMode=0

----------
Editor:

Seems to be a fairly rare 成语, didn't find many usage examples. It's in only
one of my 成语 dictionaries, but as 采兰赠药. Note 药 refers to 芍药, not medicine.

Also found this mouthful of an English definition: "present peony to the other
for orchid given by him or her between a couple of lovers"

>郑国风俗,三月上巳,于溱、洧两水上举行禊礼。即有男女相谑,采兰赠芍的事情。
>采藻、采葑、采卷耳等收采几十种野菜时的歌,并不是诗人所说的全是男女相悦,
采兰赠芍那样旖旎风光的事情
>甚至互赠信物表记,或者暗中递给,或者从窗眼里投进去。像这样传书递柬,采兰赠芍,
两情越发打得火热,无日不相会在一处
