Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Laozi once said

Li Tianzong stood still, turned around, and looked at Qiqi with a suspicious expression on his face. "Miss Qiqi, is there anything else?" He had already made up his mind, and with Qiqi's love for flowers, he would never let him, a person who "understands flower language," leave. He was at ease trying to win and play.

As expected, Qiqi walked over with a worried expression and sincerely tried to persuade him, saying, "Li Gongzi, I hope you can stay and participate in Qiqi's flower appreciation event." Her tone was a bit nervous, afraid of being politely declined by Li Tianzong.

Well... "Li Tianzong furrowed his brow slightly, blinked his black and white starry eyes, and showed a bitter smile. He sighed helplessly," Most of the people in the hall outside don't welcome me, which is understandable. They don't know the truth, so they naturally hate me, the person who destroys flowers. "He smiled lightly and continued," If I stay, it will definitely disappoint everyone. I think I'll leave

Qiqi was greatly disappointed, and a layer of haze rose on her delicate face as she murmured, "But without Li Gongzi, they won't be disappointed. Qiqi is disappointed

Knowing the fire is enough, if you refuse again, then you really have to go home! Li Tianzong touched his nose, blocking the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, and reluctantly said, "Since Miss values me so much, I'll stay

Ah, that's great! "Qiqi laughed happily, her sparkling eyes curved into a new moon, and the smiles on both sides were like flowers.

Li Tianzong couldn't help but feel a bit infatuated as he praised, "Clever smile and beautiful eyes, really beautiful

As the leader of the Four Beauties of Linxian, Qiqi naturally received many praises. However, despite being praised directly in person, she couldn't help but feel shy and lowered her almond shaped eyes, afraid to look at Li Tianzong. She whispered, "Li Gongzi, let's go out

I also need to bring this pot of green peonies, "Li Tianzong walked up to the rosewood incense table in the distance, reached out and picked up the green peonies. He smiled at Qiqi and said," Let's go

At present, Li Tianzong was the first to leave Qiqi's boudoir and enter the hall outside. Qiqi followed behind, her expression devoid of the previous sadness, but with a smile on her face, making people feel her joy.

As the two walked out, Lin Xuan and others gathered around. When everyone saw Li Tianzong holding a pot of green peonies, they knew that Qiqi had truly forgiven him. They all felt incredulous. Did Li Tianzong cast some kind of magic? They faintly heard the two pieces of music just now, but no one thought it was played by Li Tianzong. Lin Xuan's gaze towards Li Tianzong had a deep and stern expression. Who knew that Qiqi had only played a solo for him before. If tonight's news were to spread, his reputation would be ruined.

Without further ado, Li Tianzong naturally noticed Lin Xuan's stern expression and snorted coldly in his heart, unwilling to talk to him. He looked at Sima Hao and nodded and smiled at him.

While enjoying him, Sima Hao was also extremely puzzled. What did his younger brother say that could make Miss Qiqi's attitude change so quickly?

Sima Hao is not the only one who wants to know. Everyone is full of doubts. Ye Feng couldn't help but shout, "Qiqi, what's going on? Is it Li Tianzong relying on his father to threaten you?" He snorted coldly and said, "If that's the case, you can tell. The Li family is powerful, but they don't just cover the sky with one hand

Li Tianzong over there remained calm and composed, with no intention of defending himself. He placed the green peony on a rosewood table filled with flowers and gently caressed the emerald green leaves.

Li Tianzong's actions made Qiqi feel like he was talking to the pot of green peonies. I couldn't help but feel envious and wanted to know what they were talking about, but I was surrounded by everyone. Qiqi had no choice but to explain, "Ye Gongzi, you misunderstood. Li Gongzi didn't bully Qiqi, but he explained the reason for the flower drop to me clearly. It turns out that we all wrongly blamed Li Gongzi. We really can't blame him here! Speaking of which, it's Qiqi's fault

How could this be Qiqi's fault? Everyone can't get any clue even if they try to break their heads.

Lin Xuan looked at Qiqi with concern and said, "Qiqi, don't bear anything alone." He gave a gentle smile and comforted her, "I've been looking for rare flowers all this time. If I find them, no matter how expensive they are, I will buy them for you. Don't remember that pot of chrysanthemums anymore, hehe

I thought I could surprise Qiqi, but to my surprise, her face was as pale as water and her expression remained unchanged.

After having a conversation with Li Tianzong, Qiqi changed many of her views. This flower is rare and ordinary, but what is the distinction between high and low? She shook her head gently and said, "Young Master Lin, you don't have to worry about Qiqi. I've figured it out now. What I enjoy is growing flowers, not collecting rare ones

Li Tianzong applauded and smiled, saying, "Well said! If these flowers knew Miss Qiqi's thoughts, they would be very happy." After speaking, he blinked at Qiqi, clearly implying that these flowers were very happy now.

Qiqi understood and couldn't help but smile, her bright eyes and white teeth fully displayed.

The two of them exchanged glances, and Lin Xuan could see clearly. He gritted his teeth and smiled, "Qiqi's love for flowers is admirable

Fart, flowers are just flowers, how can they be happy? "Ye Feng ignored Li Tianzong's opposition and sneered," If these flowers are happy, then they wouldn't be fairies

Many talented scholars nodded in agreement, believing that what Ye Feng said was absolutely right. These Confucian scholars who read the books of sages do not believe in gods and ghosts.

Qiqi unconsciously furrowed her willow eyebrows and looked at Ye Feng, wanting to defend herself, but seeing him standing tall and proud, she ultimately gave up. After a slight sigh, she looked at Li Tianzong and saw a smile on his lips. She said, "I don't know if this flower will become a fairy. However, Laozi once said, 'Humans are born of their own mothers, and demons are born of their own mothers. As long as you have kindness in your heart, what is the difference between humans and demons?'

Upon hearing these words, everyone was greatly confused and immediately pondered deeply. Has Laozi ever said these words?

Their unfamiliarity with Taoist classics makes them hesitant to argue; Lin Xuan, on the other hand, has carefully read many classic works from various schools of thought, especially the book "Laozi", which makes him fully aware that Laozi never said this sentence! With certainty in his heart, Lin Xuan hesitated and said, "Brother Li, I am not talented. Although I have read thousands of books, I have not found such words! Can you tell me where I came from when I said, 'Man is born of man's mother, demon is born of demon's mother. As long as you have kindness in your heart, what is the difference between man and demon?'

Now everyone is looking at Li Tianzong, and Sima Hao is secretly anxious, thinking that his younger brother will embarrass himself again this time!

Li Tianzong rolled his eyes irritably and pointed to his own mouth, saying weakly, "Of course it's because of my mouth! Brother Lin, you may have misunderstood. That was what I said, not Li Er and Li Boyang

With a thud, Qiqi covered her mouth and laughed. Li Gongzi is too good at teasing people! Sima Hao understood and couldn't help but burst out laughing; Except for a few people like Ye Feng who couldn't stand Li Tianzong, everyone else couldn't stop laughing.

Lin Xuan's face darkened for a moment, and he chuckled a few times before saying, "Brother Li is really funny! But it's not appropriate to joke about the sage like this

When did I make jokes about the sage? "Li Tianzong's face was innocent and confused." Did I make jokes about the sage? Did I? Did I? Did I? Did I

Sima Hao smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay! If you don't have it, you'll be fine. My brother's ears are almost calloused by you!" Qiqi chuckled in agreement.

Lin Xuan saw that the situation was hopeless, so he couldn't bite and not let go. He chuckled twice and changed the topic: "I have something unclear. Just now, Qiqi, you said that it was your fault for Brother Li falling flowers. Why is that

Yes, Miss Qiqi, quickly dispel the doubts in our hearts! "Said a young man in green, shaking the bamboo folding fan in his hand. His name was Liang Lei, one of the Four Talented Scholars of Linxian, and the third son of the wealthy Linxian Liang Huai. It goes without saying that Lin Xuan is the foremost of the Four Talented Scholars of Linxian, while the other two are Sima Hao and Lu Dian. Lu Dian, who was not happy with Qi Qi, was one of the Four Beauties of Linxian, dancing in his palm - Liu Qing's guest.

Qiqi shook her head and said softly, "Gentlemen, Qiqi can only say that Li Gongzi's flower throwing was done with good intentions, and this is Qiqi's fault

The fragrance of flowers wafted, and Li Tianzong took a deep breath. His gaze slanted and he saw Lin Xuan's eyebrows filled with confusion. He couldn't help but laugh. If you wanted to break your head, you wouldn't have thought that the original culprit of the flower drop would be you!

Lin Xuan and the others didn't give up and asked a few gentle and soft questions, but Qiqi didn't reveal a word more. They had to stop asking and officially began to appreciate the flowers.

This type of flower is actually a pot of flowers designated by everyone, with which they can recite poems and lyrics, or play couplets and riddles, enjoying themselves. Several maidservants had already prepared the Four Treasures of the Study, standing beside the table of the Purple Sandalwood Eight Immortals, responsible for recording the poems and works of many young masters to be heard later.

Seven young masters, including Li Tianzong, have already taken their seats, while Qiqi sits at the head and Lan'er stands beside her. Li Tianzong came uninvited, with his seat at the bottom on the right. He looked at the coffee table next to him and saw tea bowls, some pastries, and a pot of narcissus on top. The refreshing fragrance was refreshing and pleasant.

Picking up the tea bowl painted with green bamboo, Li Tianzong took a slow sip. The tea was clear tea without any additives, with a primitive aroma and a slightly astringent and sweet taste. Obviously, it was not made by the popular method of ordering tea nowadays, but by special frying. This is expected. With a delicate and elegant personality, how could one not enjoy making tea?

Putting down the tea bowl, Li Tianzong reached for the catechin and picked up a piece of glutinous cake. He took a bite and tasted it, feeling that it was soft, greasy, and delicious. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, and the cake was finished in no time.

Other young masters are only savoring tea, how can they indulge in catechins as soon as they sit down? But when Qiqi saw it, she didn't think Li Tianzong was vulgar, but rather felt that he was very sincere. She smiled and said, "Li Gongzi, how is Qiqi's craftsmanship

It's really surprising that Qiqi has such skills. Li Tianzong smiled and said vaguely, "Delicious!" He swallowed the sticky cake in his mouth, savoring it without any affectation. "After the banquet, if Miss Qiqi still has this sticky cake, how about giving it to me? I'll take it back and let my family taste it too

Qiqi smiled and said, "Okay

Only Li Tianzong can do this. Which one here is not a wealthy young master who can't eat what he wants? Although it was made by Qiqi herself, many of them didn't take it seriously, let alone take it home.

That's settled, "Li Tianzong happily picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Over there, Lin Xuan preemptively said, "Qiqi, why don't we start enjoying the flowers now?" He was extremely unhappy that Li Tianzong had taken the spotlight multiple times tonight, but he believed that Li Tianzong was just a mistake. In the following poems, among the younger generation of Linxian, who could compare to Lin Xuan?

Li Tianzong glanced at Lin Xuan intentionally or unintentionally and said with a faint smile, "Hmm, let's get started
