Chapter 17 - Chapter 17: Hyacinth

The theme of Li Tianzong's painting poem is "divination operator". Although the poem is simple and unadorned, it expresses the thoughts of a passionate and devoted woman, full of endless emotions. May the two love each other forever, but also afraid that the other will lose their feelings and feel a faint sadness.

Qiqi recited, feeling the complex emotions of the woman in the poem, and couldn't help but sigh softly, adding a touch of admiration for Li Tianzong. I thought that Li Gongzi was indifferent and wouldn't be obsessed with worldly affairs, but unexpectedly she misunderstood. Li Gongzi is actually someone who understands his daughter's thoughts!

Like Qiqi, there are also Sima Hao and Liang Lei who have similar thoughts. Unlike the song "Little Plum in the Mountain Garden", this poem has a different style and mood. It uses water to express emotions and uses the river water to never dry up, symbolizing an endless period of separation from hatred. The last sentence "I only wish your heart could be like mine, and I will not disappoint my longing." It is like hearing the soulful cry of that infatuated woman - keep your love forever!

This word is not fancy or colorful, but it is good at plain language, scenic language, and emotional language. The whole piece is full of emotions, fresh and high, and it is truly a rare masterpiece.

Li Tianzong wrote the question and waved the sheep hair back to the pen grid. With a faint smile, he rolled up half of his sleeve and naturally picked up the Qiqi used tea bowl from the Eight Immortals' table with his right hand. He took a sip and moistened his long dry lips, saying, "Miss Qiqi, are you satisfied with the painting I am painting below

Now no one will be entangled in whether he is too rude to drink the tea that Qiqi has used. Even Lin Xuan, who was filled with jealousy just now, was attracted by the painting on the table and suddenly lost consciousness.

Qiqi was called out and reluctantly looked away from the painting, then smiled at Li Tianzong and said, "Li Gongzi is joking. Qiqi can have such a good painting and lyrics, what else can she be dissatisfied with?" She looked at the painting again and praised softly, "This painting is really making people feel happier the more they look at it

Just like it, "Li Tianzong smiled and drank the cooled fragrant tea in his bowl, leaving the four petals of fragrant flowers at the bottom of the bowl.

Qiqi walked slowly from the side of the table to the front of the table, standing next to Li Tianzong. She observed the flowers in the painting with a slight frown on her willow eyebrows. After a while, she pouted and said, "The leaves of this flower are a bit like daffodils, but how could there be so many narcissus flowers like lotus flowers? Li Gongzi, can you tell Qiqi what kind of flower is in this painting

Sima Hao also nodded and asked, "Brother, like Miss Qiqi, I have never seen this kind of flower before, but I don't know what variety it is

The ink wash flower emitted a faint fragrance from the painting, with trumpet shaped flowers hanging on both sides of the top, totaling nearly twenty in number. Li Tianzong smiled slightly, put down the tea bowl, and said, "This flower is called hyacinth

Feng Xinzi? "Qiqi and her companions read in confusion, pondering and searching their hearts, but still had no clue. Feng Xinzi, a flower like this, was unheard of!

Li Tianzong was not surprised by their reaction. Hyacinth originated in Southeast Europe, southern Africa, and other regions, and only spread to China in the late 19th century. Now it's just the end of the 10th century, and the people of the New Song Dynasty naturally haven't heard or seen hyacinth.

Li Tianzong nodded and said, "That's right, it's the hyacinth." After he finished speaking, he bent down and picked up the jade deer paperweight pressed against the edge of the scroll, playing with it carefully. He didn't continue to explain what hyacinth was, which made everyone's hearts itch.

With a snap, Liang Lei closed the fan in his hand, tapped his palm, and said anxiously, "Brother Li, stop selling secrets and quickly explain this hyacinth to us

Qiqi's eyes were filled with anticipation, almost grabbing Li Tianzong's sleeve to inquire!

Li Tianzong had no consciousness at all, still identifying the jade deer paperweight in his hand up and down, muttering words in his mouth as if talking about the era or something. Upon hearing Liang Lei's urgent question, he looked up at Lin Xuan with a childish expression and said with a smile, "Brother Lin is very knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He must know about this hyacinth. Let Brother Lin speak for himself

Lin Xuan, like Liang Lei and the others, had never heard of any hyacinth before, and even perked up his ears to hear it clearly. However, Li Tian suddenly changed the subject and even pulled him up! If he doesn't answer, wouldn't it make people feel that he has limited knowledge; But he really doesn't understand hyacinths, what should he do?

Lin Xuan, who suffered from this unjustified disaster, was really mute and eating Huanglian. Looking at Li Tianzong's mischievous expression and blinking at Lin Xuan, he was both angry and funny, but he had no disgust at all.

This, this... "Lin Xuan stuttered, his eyes avoiding contact with others. After a while, a fine bead of sweat had already formed on his forehead, indicating his anxiety and nervousness.

Lin Xuan's behavior has already told others that he doesn't understand! Just unwilling to admit it, just holding on until the end.

Qiqi gave Li Tianzong a disdainful glance, with a smile in her eyes, urging, "Li Gongzi, stop teasing Lin Gongzi, tell us quickly

Her words caused a burst of laughter from Sima Hao and others. Although Lin Xuan was both shy and angry, he could only hold it in his heart and pretend to be happy by laughing a few times.

Putting aside his stubbornness, Li Tianzong cleared his throat and said seriously, "Brother Lin, there's no need to feel ashamed. It's normal for you not to know, because hyacinths originated in the Great Qin region and have not yet spread to the New Song Dynasty. Great Qin refers to the Roman Empire, which is Europe. When they heard that it was such a distant exotic flower, everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

Li Tianzong continued, "Once a foreigner came to visit my father and gave me a bowl of hyacinths. Unfortunately, that bowl soon withered

When did my younger brother have a bowl of hyacinths? Sima Hao couldn't figure it out. Before, if his younger brother had any interesting things, he would always tell him first, but in his memory, there was no such thing as hyacinth.

Oh, that's really a pity. "Qiqi's face was full of regret. Just looking at the painting, she knew the beauty of hyacinths. It was a pity that she couldn't see it with her own eyes.

Li Tianzong let out a sigh, a faint sense of grief, as if reminiscing. After a while, he put the Jade Deer Town paper back on the table and gently stroked the thick ink on the Xuan paper that had not dried. He said, "Miss Qiqi, do you know why I wrote a poem with the title of 'divination operator'? This poem is actually related to the legend of hyacinth. Miss, do you want to listen

Qiqi likes flowers and naturally loves their legendary stories. Upon hearing the legend of the "divination operator" related to hyacinth, her heart suddenly lifted. Her delicate jade hands tightly clasped together, and her bright eyes sparkled with brilliance. She wanted to listen, but couldn't bear to listen!

After a moment of silence, she made up her mind and nodded, "Qiqi is all ears and listens attentively

There are also immortals worshipped by Da Qin. Among the immortals, there is the sun god Apollo. Apollo fell in love with a girl named Fiaxinse, and they supported each other with great affection

The names Apollo and Fiasins are very strange, "Qiqi murmured to avoid forgetting.

After pausing for a moment, Li Tianzong continued, "There is once again the god of the west wind, Sophie, who also likes Apollo. Seeing Apollo and Fiasins so happy, she couldn't help but feel jealous and made up a false accusation that Apollo and Fiasins landed on earth as flowers, only to face each other across the river. If Apollo is no longer happy with Fiasins, then they will be relieved of their punishment and no longer be flowers." She closed her eyes slightly and sighed, "The flower that Apollo and Fiasins transformed into is none other than hyacinths

Surprisingly... Qiqi gently bit her teeth, her delicate face filled with deep sadness. In just a few words, Li Tianzong outlined a poignant and touching love story. Qiqi was naturally sensitive and emotional, and upon hearing it, she would naturally be moved.

Sima Hao let out a slight sigh and shook his head, saying, "So, love is like this all over the world! Look, are Apo, Polo, and Fei... Yaxinsi somewhat similar to the Cowherd and Weaver Girl

As soon as he mentioned it, Liang Lei also thought of this and quickly opened the folding fan, shaking it lightly and saying, "Hmm, it's indeed similar. I have a question below, why are those immortals so happy to beat mandarin ducks

Li Tianzong gave a faint smile with a hint of helplessness: "Because some immortals are very foolish and naive! It's ridiculous to think that using this method can break up a lover

Young master, how did Apollo and Fiaxinse end up? "Qiqi furrowed her brows deeply, her big eyes rippling constantly as she looked at Li Tianzong, her teeth biting her red lips, almost biting them apart.

If Apollo fell in love, the saddest person would not be Fiasins, but this lovely person in front of him! Li Tianzong smiled inwardly and said, "Apollo did not disappoint! Otherwise, there would be no hyacinths like this now

Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief, her tense face relaxed, but then she thought to herself, although Apollo was not unfaithful, he could only spend his days in love with Fiaxin, and could not see him. Isn't it even more tragic

She looked at the scroll on the table and saw that the hyacinth was still shining brightly, as if telling the unwavering determination of Apollo and Phimosis to keep their relationship. The "divination operator" inscribed on the painting was like clear water flowing through a stream, slowly flowing through her heart: I only wish that your heart be like mine, and I will not disappoint my longing.
