“This plaque was given to me by my father when I moved into this courtyard when I was eight years old. The words on it were also written by my father himself.”
Gong Sangmo explained, with a tone of longing and pain that was not easily detected!
“Oh.” So that’s how it was, what a coincidence, thinking like this, Yun Qianyu withdrew her gaze.
“Is there any special meaning?” Yun Qianyu was curious for once.
Gong Sangmo looked a little gloomy, and his handsome face, which always had a smile, was filled with a hint of sadness.
“This was originally the courtyard of my father and mother. That year, my mother passed away. Before she died, she held my hand and gave me endless instructions. It seemed that she had thousands of words to say, but she didn’t have time to finish them all. After my mother died, my father gave this courtyard to me and named it Qianyu Pavilion, which represents the thousands of words that my mother was concerned about that she couldn’t finish saying.”
Yun Qianyu was silent. She didn’t know why she had brought up Gong Sangmo’s sad memories for no reason.
“Sorry, I did not know…”
“It’s okay, go in!”
Gong Sangmo interrupted Yun Qianyu’s apology before she finished speaking. For some reason, he didn’t want to hear Yun Qianyu say the three words “I’m sorry” to him.
Gong Sangmo had now regained his gentle and jade-like appearance, as if the sadness just now was just a result of your dazzlement and you saw it wrong!
A ripple flashed across Yun Qianyu’s star-like eyes. She pursed her lips and followed Gong Sangmo into Qianyu Pavilion.
Qianyu Pavilion was not small in size. But the courtyard was not as luxurious as expected. Compared with Gong Sangmo’s status, it could even be called simple!
The path that wound from the door was paved with pebbles. The pebbles were of different colors and uneven. There were locust trees planted on both sides of the path. Because it was not the flowering season, there were no flowers, but the leaves were lush and green.
Turning the corner, there was a long rain corridor in front of them, which was connected to a three-story wooden pavilion covered with green tiles hidden in the bamboo forest. There was a lotus pond under the middle part of the rain corridor. Although it was not the season for lotuses to bloom, there were still lotus leaves floating on the water, and occasionally you could see golden carp swimming inside.
The whole courtyard was particularly quiet, except for the occasional crisp sound of the copper bells hanging on the eaves of the pavilion ringing due to the wind!
This was extremely satisfying for Yun Qianyu, who always liked quietness!
There was a large open space between the rain corridor and the pavilion, which was not paved with cobblestones but neatly trimmed bluestones. The entire open space was paved very smoothly, without any protrusions on the bluestones.
When Yun Qianyu walked in, she found that the open space was surrounded by bamboos!
Yun Qianyu had a preference for bamboos. She liked the slender and upright branches of bamboos; she liked the graceful posture of bamboos dancing in the wind; she liked the greenness of bamboos in all seasons, and the integrity of bamboos that defied frost and snow!
Especially the Nanzhu! Nanzhu grew fast and had strong adaptability. Other bamboos needed a year to grow into towering shapes, but Nanzhu only needed two months!
For Yun Qianyu, who demanded speed in everything she did, Nanzhu was especially to her heart’s liking!
Although Gong Sangmo didn’t say anything, he could read Yun Qianyu’s mind from her eyes and knew that she liked this bamboo forest very much. This surprised him! In the past three years, he had never heard that she liked bamboo.
Soon they arrived at the door of the pavilion, on which there was also a plaque with only two words “Xiang Sui”. Yun Qianyu knew that these two words must have their special meaning! In view of her recklessness in just bringing up Gong Sangmo’s sad memories, she did not ask anything.
