Chapter 8: Chihiro
"Second Miss, I'm back." When Sandalwood returned, I was napping at the table.
"How's it going, is there a catch?"
"Of course, who is my sandalwood, as long as I go out, there is nothing I can't do." Sandalwood shook the rose in her hand at me triumphantly.
"Come on, put away your tsundere little tail, and say, I've heard something." I took the rose in Sandalwood's hand, although it is delicate, but there is an indescribable strangeness, this variety is something I have never seen, like a rose and not like it, to be precise, it looks like a rose but does not have the soul of a rose, I can't imagine that Li Yu can actually cultivate such a new variety, it seems that he is really affectionate to Chihiro.
"It took me a lot of effort to get this news, so why don't you reward me?"
"Reward, of course award, so be it, return you with the deed of sale, and then let Ling Qi send you out of the house." I really don't know where the gentle, lovely, beautiful, kind and generous sandalwood in my last life has gone?
"Don't don't, I'm wrong, I'll say it right away." Sure enough, as soon as he said it, Sandalwood immediately raised the banner of surrender. The road is one foot high, and I don't look at who Miss Ben is, I am the champion of the palace fight in my previous life, and I also shook the rose in my hand proudly to sandalwood.
From the mouth of Sandalwood, I finally understood the whole thing.
In the morning, after Sandalwood got my task, she went straight to the Wu Palace, and then gained the trust of the director of the Wu Mansion Flower House under the pretense of learning to raise flowers, and I didn't care much about what method she used, so I interrupted her introduction to this point. Let her get straight to the point - Chihiro.
From Sandalwood's mouth, I learned that Chihiro is Li Yu's cousin, the daughter of Li Yu's mother, Zhong's sister, and is one year younger than Li Yu. When she was five years old, Zhong's sister gave birth to a child and died early, with one corpse and two lives.
Originally, Zhong just wanted to let the two be companions, but he never thought that this Qianxun had been smart since childhood, and he was famous in Shengjing before he was ten years old, and he had quite high attainments in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which made Li Yu, who also likes poetry and songs, extremely happy. In the years when Qianxun entered the palace, Li Yu got out of school every day, and then went to Qianxun's residence, and the two of them wrote poems and chess together, danced and wrote ink, and had the potential to have a confidant and die without regrets.
Two little guesses, childhood sweethearts, is originally an infinitely beautiful thing. But the Zhong family couldn't sit still, what she wanted to give Li Yu was far from the existing life stability, what she wanted was the infinite glory of her son, although Qianhiro was the daughter of her own sister, but the Qian clan had long since declined, which was useless for Li Yu's future. The Zhong family only has a crush on the daughter of the prime minister, the eldest lady of the Zhou Mansion.
In 949 AD, when Qianxun was twelve years old, the Zhong family was the master of the Shang family, and the marriage date was scheduled for the month of 953. Then on the grounds of marriage teaching, he let him move into the flower garden, which is now the Rose Valley of Wufu, intending to completely cut off the opportunity for Li Yu and Chihiro to meet in this way.
But who is Li Yu, the more you don't let him do something, the more he wants to do it, which is quite similar to him in his previous life. In order to meet Chihiro, he teamed up with his friend Shang Wen, who is Chihiro's fiancé, to open a dog hole in the wall of Shang's backyard, and then secretly slipped through the dog hole into the flower garden under the pretext of looking for Shang Wen to study every day. It turns out that the dog hole I climbed that day came to be like this.
This kind of life lasted for more than half a year, and after coming and going, the relationship between the three of them became indestructible. But the paper couldn't prevent the fire, and Shang Wen took Li Yu to meet Chihiro privately every day and was still passed into Zhong's ears. Zhong was furious and ordered Li Yu to be placed under house arrest in Zhong's palace.
In the month of 949, Li Yu deceived the Zhong family under the pretext of being summoned by the emperor, and then sneaked out of the palace with the small clay figurines he prepared himself. It was supposed to be a scene of friends getting together and being infinitely happy.
But Chihiro died, and died in the well where Li Yu scooped me up, some people say that Chihiro jumped into it by herself, and some people say that Zhong killed her, but more people say that she died to save Li Yu. As for what happened in the flower garden that day, no one knew except for the three people present.
After Chihiro's death, Li Yu broke down the relationship with Shangwen and severed contact.
In the end, Li Yu buried Chihiro in the flower garden in the name of his brother, and changed the name of the courtyard to Rose Valley. During these eleven years, no one was allowed to set foot in except for the flower room supervisor who was allowed to enter the courtyard to take charge of the roses.
"You mean the clay figurines? Have you ever asked what that clay figure looks like? ”
"Second Miss, who will pay attention to this, besides, the little clay figure is just a guess after the director of the flower house saw it at the scene, as for whether it was given by Li Yu is still up for debate."
"He gave it to me, and I've seen it."
"Second Miss, you haven't even seen Li Yu, so why have you ever seen a little clay figure."
I called my hand to let Sandalwood retreat, Sandalwood, do you know that I have really seen it, in my previous life, it was the only thing Li Yu asked for before he died, because the clay figure was similar to mine, I thought that he was reluctant to be me, but I never thought that behind this was my wrong love for a lifetime.
