When Ning Qing called, Leng Xiaotian was telling Princess Binglian the story of Lu You and Tang Wan: Lu You and Tang Wan are childhood sweethearts, a pair of beautiful young men, and they are also cousins. They have known each other since childhood and have played together.
Every family reads and learns literacy together and plays chess together. In the 14th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1144 AD, 20-year-old Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan got married. After marriage, Lu You and Tang Wan got along, and their husbands were very harmonious, and they were in love.
But a few years later, something unexpected happened: Lu You's mother hated this daughter-in-law Tang Wan more and more. In the end, she forced Lu You to divorce Tang Wan and marry Wang.
Tang Wan later married Zhao Shicheng, another talented man in the same county, at the order of her father. But she could not forget Lu You in her heart, and finally died in anger with hatred. What left Lu You was guilt and pain for a lifetime.
Many of Lu You's poems that have been passed down from the world are all because of their nostalgia for Tang Wan or their feelings when singing with her. They are not only sincere but also sad and moving. For example, the famous song "Chaitoufeng" is a divorce between two people
A few years later, a sad work when he met Tang Wan in Shenyuan...
Princess Binglian has read this poem, but she didn't know that there was such a sad and moving love story behind it. She couldn't help but think of her first love Chen Bing, and her eyes were filled with tears, and she said to the sneering heaven.
: "Can you recite this poem again and give it to me? I only remember the first few sentences."
Sneering at the sight of her crying suddenly, she knew that she must have remembered her dead first love, and she regretted not telling her such a tragic story. Seeing that she asked to memorize this poem by herself, she recited it in a slight manner: "Hongsu"
Hands, yellow wine. The spring scenery of the palace walls and willows all over the city; the east wind is evil, the joy is weak, the sorrow is sad, the years of separation are gone, wrong, wrong, wrong! Spring is as old as before, people are thin. Tears are red and the silk is shining through;
Peach blossoms fall, idle pools and pavilions, even though the alliance is here, the letters are hard to entrust. Don’t, don’t, don’t!”
After memorizing it, he sneered and added: "After Tang Wan's death, Lu You has always been unforgettable to her. When he was 71 years old, he revisited Shenyuan to pay tribute to the places he traveled with Tang Wan when he was young, and wrote down two
The poem of eternal eternity, like "Chaitoufeng", was collectively called "Shenyuan Two Essences". At this time, it was already forty years since Tang Wan's death, but the feelings he expressed in the poem showed that
He has never forgotten his wife for a long time for forty years."
Princess Binglian likes to hear such stories the most because she has had similar experiences. When she saw Leng Xiaotian paused for a moment when she said this, she urged: "What are the two poems? Remember them to me!"
Sneeringly, the sky took a sip of tea, and slowly said to himself: "The first poem is like this: The setting sun on the city is so sad, and Shenyuan is not the old pool platform. The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and the shadows are once illuminated by the shocking geese.
The first one is: Dreams are broken and incense has been destroyed for forty years, and the willows in Shenyuan do not blow the cotton. This body is like the soil of Jishan, and it is still a trace of tears. Every time I read these two poems, I feel very moved: a woman passed away
After forty years, another old man was still paying tribute to her affectionately. What deep affection should be? How painful and helpless should they be when they separated?"
Princess Binglian meditated on the artistic conception of these two poems and the sadness and helplessness contained in it, and the tears on her face became even more surging...
When Ning Qing called, Princess Binglian had not yet come back to her senses from the tragic love between Lu You and Tang Wan. When she heard the sneering heaven asked her if she could invite Ning Qing to come over to play, she was obviously stunned for a moment, a little suspicious.
He looked at the cold sky and asked, "Why did Miss Ning Qing suddenly remember to come to see you? What is your relationship with her?"
Originally, Princess Binglian liked and admired Ning Qing very much. But since she saw her singing intimately on the stage at the charity party that day, and later she wanted to send her home, especially in the car.
After listening to Mei Lian's analysis of her and Leng Xiaotian's possible relationship, the woman's instinct and intuition made her guard against Ning Qing. She now has an attachment to Leng Xiaotian that she has not fully noticed.
Love, so pay special attention to the interaction between Leng Xiaotian and the opposite sex. At this moment, he heard that Ning Qing took the initiative to come to see Leng Xiaotian, and he became subconsciously alert.
Seeing that she asked him directly what his relationship with Ning Qing was, she avoided her staring eyes a little embarrassedly and replied, "I met her at that charity party, but I cooperated with each other when singing on the same stage.
Tacit understanding, and because I have a good relationship with Mr. Jin, she is curious about me and wants to know more about me. If you don’t welcome her to come and play, I immediately called her back. After all, this is your private villa,
If a guest is visiting, you have to agree with it, right?"
Princess Binglian looked at him half-believingly, and after a long time, she said, "You let her come over, I'll treat her to lunch."
Half an hour later, Ning Qing drove her Porsche sports car to the villa.
Princess Binglian usually greets guests without going to the door of the villa. Even if the consul of their country in Hong Kong comes to visit her secretly, she only greets her at the door of the living room. However, she showed special respect for Ning Qing.
Together with Leng Xiaotian, I went to the villa gate to greet him.
While walking inside, Princess Binglian walked side by side with Leng Xiaotian, intentionally or unintentionally, and was very close to each other. Moreover, for some reason, she brought Ning Qing straight into the words she and Leng Xiaotian practiced together just now.
And the study room that tells the story of Lu You and Tang Wan.
Leng Xiaotian looked at Ning Qing a few times. After seeing her taking off her sunglasses, her face looked a little haggard, and there was a circle of black lines near her eyes. It was probably because Jin Zhiqiang's death made her sad and guilty that she was so haggard.
After Ning Qing entered the study room, he looked at the layout and style of the study room, looked back at Princess Binglian, and exclaimed: "Miss Mei, I heard from Mr. Li that you are not from the Chinese, but judging from the layout of your study room, the style
Elegant, with a strong aroma of books, and a deep cultural heritage of Chinese. Those who don’t know will definitely think that you are a scholar in China who is well-read in poetry and books. Not bad, really good!"
Princess Binglian smiled slightly, picked up a banner she asked to write when she was waiting for Ning Qing and handed it to her, but her eyes looked at the sneering sky with a smile, and said in a somewhat shy tone: "This is Li
The gentleman just wrote to me. Please take a look at Miss Ning Qing. Is his handwriting good?”
Ning Qing was shocked when she saw her cheeks flushed and shy, she was shocked: Could it be that this girl was born with affection for the sneer again? Judging from her appearance, it was clearly a young girl showing off her favorite strengths to others...
Ning Qing barely controlled his sadness and looked at the banner, but it was the classic sentences in Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow": "Before farewell, I sent the lyrics again, and there is a vow in the lyrics that both minds know. I live forever on July 7th
In the palace, when no one whispers in the middle of the night, I wish to be a bird with wings in the sky, and I wish to be a branch on the ground. The sky and the earth will be over, and this hatred will last forever."
Princess Binglian has been secretly observing Ning Qing's face. Seeing that although she seemed to be appreciating the calligraphy of Sneering the Sky seriously, there was a hint of sadness in her expression. She couldn't help but feel more suspicious. She suddenly said to Ning Qing: "Ning Qing
Miss, I heard from Li Ying that you not only have beautiful singing voices and outstanding acting skills, but also have a deep foundation in Chinese literature and write well. Can you please write a banner for me?"
Before he knew it, Princess Binglian changed the name "Mr. Li" she mentioned to be more intimate "Li Ying".
Ning Qing didn't know that she was testing her, so she thought about it and said, "Okay, I'll just practice calligraphy! Mr. Li is a master of this, as long as she doesn't laugh at me."
As he said that, he picked up his pen and wrote a poem: "Down at dusk, it was gone; the west wind outside the window was cold and shining through the gauze. Listening to the sound of bananas, it was drizzling; where to slap teeth with people? Looking through the autumn water; I still haven't seen it
Home; tears are like numb.”
Princess Binglian had never seen this ancient poem, so she turned her head and asked, "You are a talented man, let me answer: Where does this poem come from? Who is the author? Why did I never read it?
Have you been there?"
Sneering at the sky, she smiled and said, "You will definitely not know this. This poem comes from Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". I don't remember which volume it is, but because I saw this poem
When I was in the poem, I thought it was easy to understand and had a good artistic conception, so I remembered it silently at that time. It describes a resentful woman in the boudoir missing her husband who was traveling far away. There should be two sentences at the end, which seemed like this: Again
I miss him, and I hate him again, holding my red sleeves and making ghosts! Miss Ning, is that true?"
Ning Qing often sat alone at home and missed the sky, once she occasionally read "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" and saw this song full of endless longing and misery, which touched the softest and most heartbreaking thing in her heart.
A certain feeling, so she silently wrote it down. She thought that no one should have paid attention to or recited this poem, but she didn't expect that she would be sneering but could not help but remember it to such an extent.
.
Princess Binglian saw Ning Qing's eyes showing admiration and felt very proud, so she forgot to verify why she wrote this poem full of longing and sad feelings, and smiled and said to the cold sky: "It seems you're going to be."
I am indeed a little knowledgeable. It seems that there is no problem with Chinese literature knowledge that can stump you. Let’s do this. From now on, I might as well not go to school. How about you, you will be a private school teacher at home?"
He laughed "giggle" as he said that.
After she smiled, Ning Qing also said with a smile: "Mr. Li Ying is indeed a talented and knowledgeable person. If Miss Mei can invite him to be a teacher, you will be able to master the essence of Chinese culture within one year."
Then, she took advantage of Princess Binglian to see the banner she had just written, and suddenly stuffed a small note into Leng Xiaotian's hand.
Sneering at the opportunity of going to the bathroom, I opened the note and saw that it read: "Director Gu and Su Xiaodan have gone to Hong Kong to take pictures of the outdoor scene and ask me to have dinner tomorrow!"
