Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Flower Language
The layout of Qiqi's boudoir is elegant, with a winter plum screen covering the Yao bed and makeup table behind, only revealing the beauty inside. Li Tianzong walked up to the desk under the window, looking out at the bright moon in the sky, and then at the desk in front of him. There were pen holders, ink stones, and other objects on the desk, and a pot of Su Xin Jian Lan in the corner of the desk, with a fragrant aroma that entered his nose. He couldn't help but praise it. While enjoying tea and painting, he smelled the fragrance and looked at the greenery, which was truly elegant and interesting.
There is also a rosewood little Arhat bed in the boudoir full of books and flowers. On the bed is a unique zither of psychic type. Looking at the broken veins on the snake's belly, Li Tianzong knows that this unique zither should be handed down from the Tang Dynasty to the present.
Qiqi saw him looking at her qin with a loving expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. Qin and flowers are her two favorite things. Last time, Li Gongzi had already destroyed her favorite pot of chrysanthemums. Is he planning on playing this unique and secluded qin again?
Li Tianzong, who was over there, walked towards Yao Qin without realizing it and wanted to get a closer look. Unexpectedly, Qi Qi stood in front of him and stared at him with her water cut eyes, as if facing a great enemy. Li Tianzong questioned, "What's wrong
Li Gongzi, aren't you going to tell me the reason for the flower drop? "Qiqi still dared not walk away, blocking the way between Li Tianzong and Yao Qin.
As soon as he thought about it, he understood Qiqi's concern. Li Tianzong couldn't help but laugh out loud. I dare say he was treated like a madman who only destroys things loved by others! He shook his head gently and said, "Miss Qiqi, you don't need to be like this. I am also an Aegean person, just like how I love flowers. If there was no reason why I couldn't do it, how could I smash your love flower?" He sighed and said, "You should know that this qin, this flower, everything has life, or rather its spirituality. If I destroy a flower, it's like killing a life
Li Tianzong spoke sincerely, and Qiqi involuntarily stepped aside and let him walk to the edge of the qin.
Gently caressing the broken marks on the qin, feeling the longevity of the instrument, I couldn't help but pluck the strings, and a graceful melody emerged, full of charm that filled the boudoir. Standing beside her, Qiqi was mesmerized by the sound of the qin and only woke up after it had stopped. She couldn't help but be shocked that the qin meaning played by Li Gongzi was no less impressive than hers!
This solitary and secluded qin is no exception, it has its own spirituality. Only by understanding this qin can one use it to express one's feelings and call out the meaning of the qin. "Li Tianzong smiled lightly at Qiqi and said," If you want to know if a person understands the qin, just look at how he plays it! If he only plays the qin with his skills, then he just regards it as a thing, and the music he plays will be tangible and lifeless. If he jumps out of his skills, enters the qin path, and plays the qin with his heart, then he can be considered a qin player, because he has become friends with the qin and can confide in his heart
Qiqi's eyes changed slightly as she looked at Li Tianzong. She felt even more puzzled. Li Gongzi was clearly an elegant person, why would he intentionally throw flowers?
Playing the qin is like appreciating flowers, different paths lead to the same destination. "Li Tianzong walked up to a small mahogany table next to him, gazing at the pot of green peonies placed on the table, and said," Flowers have life, just like humans, from birth to death. Although they don't know how to speak, it doesn't mean they don't have their own thoughts... "He turned to Qiqi and said," To be honest, Miss, you can feel their thoughts right below
Ah... "Qiqi was stunned and exclaimed," Does this flower really have its own thoughts
Li Tianzong nodded and said solemnly, "Exactly! This has nothing to do with demons and monsters. Miss Qiqi, think about it. Which bird or beast has no mind? These flowers have to drink water and eat fat from birth to death, how can they have no heart?" He sighed and said, "It's just that humans and flowers are not of the same kind, and it's difficult to communicate with each other. That's why we think flowers are just plants without temperament
He was about to add more reasons, but unexpectedly Qiqi looked happy and excited, which made Li Tianzong feel strange.
Qiqi looked at the pot of green peonies with joy, extending her snow-white and translucent slender hand. Her jade fingers gently touched the petals and said, "Indeed! Qiqi has long thought about why flowers have no temperament. I told Lan'er that these flowers should also have their own thoughts, and Lan'er even said I'm just daydreaming!" She smiled slightly at Li Tianzong and said, "Li Gongzi's words just now coincide with mine
I see, no wonder Qiqi went against her usual behavior after hearing this.
Li Gongzi, can you tell Qiqi what this pot of green peony is thinking about now? "Qiqi gently stroked the green peony while looking at Li Tianzong nervously and eagerly.
What a flower lover! The heart of loving flowers is admirable, I can't compare to it! Li Tianzong admired Qiqi in his heart and naturally did not want to disappoint her. He nodded and gazed at the green peony, saying, "I feel that it is very angry at this moment." He smiled apologetically at Qiqi and said, "As for what it is thinking specifically, I cannot know
Qiqi frowned and pondered carefully why this pot of green peony had such a mood. After a long while, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise and said, "Young Master Li, do you think he's angry that Qiqi didn't bring him into the hall for a reward?" Li Tianzong hadn't replied yet, but she herself was fully convinced and looked apologetically at the green peony, "Qiqi was negligent. When we go out later, she'll take you with her
It seems that Miss Qiqi guessed correctly. The green peony is now very happy and there is no longer any resentment. "Li Tianzong smiled faintly, with no trace of falsehood in his expression.
Qiqi let out a deep sigh, filled with envy as she said, "Li Gongzi can understand the emotions of flowers. I envy Qiqi!" As her excitement faded, she finally remembered her important matter and asked, "Li Gongzi, Qiqi, you are also a flower lover and understand the language of flowers. Why would you intentionally smash Qiqi's precious chrysanthemums?" In her tone at this moment, there was no anger, but she believed Li Tianzong's previous words: after knowing the reason for his flower falling, she would understand him.
Li Tianzong walked up to the window and looked at the round moon outside with a hint of sadness on his face, saying, "This is the wish of that pot of chrysanthemums themselves
Ah... "Qiqi froze like before and whispered in confusion," Its own will
Exactly. "Li Tianzong closed his eyes and looked nostalgic." That day, when I first saw that pot of chrysanthemums, I felt that it was full of sadness. I asked it why, and it told me something. This was the second time I had a direct conversation with a flower
Qiqi felt a little more convinced in her heart. Her pot of chrysanthemums always made people feel melancholy, which was also one of the reasons why she loved that precious pot of chrysanthemums.
It goes without saying that Li Tianzong had already figured out the characteristics of the chrysanthemum pot from Sima Hao, which is why he fabricated its sorrowful lies. Li Tianzong paused for a moment and continued, "That flower told me that it has a lover, who is also a flower raised by Miss Qiqi. They have been together day and night since they were young, and they were very happy. Unexpectedly, one day, their lover was given to someone by Miss Qiqi, and they separated from each other
That chrysanthemum is always missing its lover, suffering from the torment of emotions. It knew long ago that it would never meet its lover, and when it saw that I understood its thoughts, it begged me to help it end... I saw that it had made up its mind to leave, so I had to endure the pain and throw it to death. "Li Tianzong sighed and shook his head," The pain of lovesickness is the most unbearable! I would rather be a villain who destroys flowers than watch it suffer in pain
After listening, Qiqi's face turned pale like paper, and cold sweat seeped out of her forehead. She murmured blankly, "It's so, so... it turns out it's Qiqi beating mandarin ducks with a stick
Li Tianzong's original intention was to help Qiqi get rid of her sadness, so naturally he couldn't let her turn from anger to self blame. He said immediately, "Miss Qiqi, you don't need to blame yourself! No one is wrong about this matter, it's an inevitable tragedy that people and flowers cannot communicate with each other." He stroked the Jianlan leaf on the desk under the window and sighed slightly, "The matter has come to this point, and Miss Qiqi's self blame cannot be changed for long. I just hope that in the future, Miss will not give her own flowers to others casually, so as not to repeat the same mistake; she should also treat these flowers well and not let them be sad
I... "Qiqi opened her mouth and lightly bit her lower lip, but ultimately did not speak up to refute. She didn't give flowers to anyone casually, but one time, Lin Gongzi made several sincere requests, and she was confused for a moment, so
She sighed sadly, not realizing that self blame was useless, but the thought of a couple being separated by her made her heart ache uncontrollably.
In silence, Li Tianzong walked slowly to Arhat's bed and put his hands on the Duyou Qin. The sound of jade beads falling on the plate sounded like water flowing through a stream into Qiqi's heart. She was once again immersed in the music of Li Tianzong's qin, this song was gentle and soothing, as if it were hypnosis, gradually dispelling the sadness in Qiqi's heart.
At the end of the song, Qiqi felt a sudden sense of enlightenment in her heart. She seemed to have learned a lot and her mood was no longer as heavy as before. She slightly bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, young master
Li Tianzong smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm here to alleviate the sadness in Miss's heart." His face straightened and he said, "But I understand the flower language. Miss Qiqi must keep it a secret and not tell anyone. After all, this matter is too strange, and others may not believe me. They will even accuse me of deceiving Miss
Qiqi nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Li. Qiqi understands." She paused and stared at Li Tianzong with bright eyes, "Please forgive Qiqi's recklessness before
Miss Qiqi spoke too harshly. If you hadn't hated me before, that would have made me disdainful, "Li Tianzong said with a polite smile and a faint sense of aloofness." I've finished speaking, so I'll take my leave now. When Miss Qiqi admires flowers, remember not to be biased! No matter how many lotus flowers there are, they are all flowers and should be treated with equal respect
This made Qiqi feel ashamed for a moment. Thinking back on what she had just done, she had been indulging in the pot of sixteen lotus flowers in Longyan Su, but had forgotten about the green peony behind her. She even claimed to be a flower lover, which was really ridiculous! Her face was scorching hot, and a sickly blush appeared on her pale face.
Miss, take care. "Li Tian arched his hand and walked outside.
Seeing that Li Tianzong was really about to leave, Qiqi couldn't help but feel distressed. If Li Gongzi, who knew the language of flowers, was missing, what would be the meaning of this flower fair? She hurriedly said, 'Young master, wait a moment!'
