The reason why Secretary Lu suddenly mentioned this poem "Jian Jia" is because when he and Zhao Han were in love, they both liked this love poem that blended scenes, profound artistic conception, and weeping. They often sang together. He recited the classic lines in it. Moreover, Lu Zhiyao quoted the first few lines of this poem in his first love letter to Zhao Han to express his love for Zhao Han, but he was worried about the two It is difficult for individuals to be together, and I am afraid that the "road will be long and difficult" in the future...
When he heard Ye Ming say that his mother also liked this poem very much, often recited it, and regarded it as Ye Ming's enlightenment poem, Secretary Lu immediately came to two conclusions: First, Ye Ming's mother It is definitely Zhao Han, there is no doubt about this; secondly, even after Zhao Han got married and gave birth to a son, he still pretended to be himself in his heart and missed the good times she had with him...
Thinking about this, he only felt that his heart was beating very hard. In order to calm down his excitement, he said to Ye Ming: "Xiaoye, when I was in college, I also really liked this ancient love poem called "Jian Jia", but now Because people are old and their memory is poor, some sentences in the poem are no longer remembered. Can you recite them for me now?"
In fact, Secretary Lu remembers this poem the most and can still recite it backwards and forwards. However, he very much wants Ye Ming to recite this poem with a pronunciation and intonation similar to that of Zhao Han, so that he can experience the original and the The warm and beautiful feeling of Zhao Han reciting this poem together...
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Okay."
Then, he chanted with great emotion and charm:
"The jianjia is green, and the white dew is like frost. The so-called beauty is on the side of the water. When you follow it back, the road is long and blocked; when you swim back, it is in the middle of the water. The jianjia is desolate, and the white dew is still fresh. The so-called beauty is on the bank of the water. . Backtrack and follow it, and the road is blocked and you can enter it; go back and swim from it, and you are floating in the water. Picking jianjia, and the white dew is not gone. The so-called Yiren is in the stream of water. Backtrack and follow it, and the road is blocked and go to the right; go back and swim from it It's just floating in the water."
After Ye Ming finished reciting, Secretary Lu seemed to be immersed in the artistic conception of the poem. He squinted his eyes slightly and savored it for a long time, and then said in a voice full of emotion: "Xiaoye, when I was a child, I My father asked me to recite more than 300 poems in the "Book of Songs". Among them, my favorite is "Jian Jia". This poem is full of emotions and the scenes blend together, which is a powerful contrast. It captures the protagonist’s melancholy emotions and gives people a melancholy and hazy beauty, which is very contagious!”
Having said this, he sighed slightly, stared at the necklace around Ye Ming's neck, and suddenly asked: "Xiaoye, when I was looking at the jade pendant you were wearing just now, I found two words engraved on it, one is The word 'Han', and the other is the word 'Yuan'. Moreover, these two characters should have been engraved on later, and it doesn't seem like they were there when this piece of jade was carved. Is there any meaning or story in it?"
When Ye Ming heard him ask about this, he felt sad, his eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Secretary Lu, you are right. This piece of jade is a token of love given to my mother by my father. That Han The word '' is my mother's name. And the word 'yuan' is my father's name...
As soon as Ye Ming said this, he heard an "ah" sound from Secretary Lu's mouth. His eyes suddenly widened with an incredible expression on his face. Before he could finish speaking, he asked in a trembling voice: "Xiaoye, what did you just say?" What did you say? You mean: The word 'yuan' is your father's name? Is it the name of your biological father?"
Ye Ming was immersed in the memory of his mother and did not notice the abnormality in Secretary Lu's face. He nodded and said: "That's right! I was born in a single-parent family since I was a child. I have never seen my father since I was born. I once asked My mother, where is my father? But my mother never told me, she just said that my father was in a far away place. She also told me: Don’t ask now, and don’t try to find your father. If the opportunity comes, You father and son will always meet. If the opportunity does not come, you will probably never be able to meet each other in this life..."
Secretary Lu interrupted him again and asked again in an unusual tone: "Xiaoye, you mean: your mother has always lived alone? She has never been married? You have never seen your father since you were born, right? ?”
Ye Ming glanced at Secretary Lu a little strangely. He saw that his cheeks were flushed, his eyes were bright, and his lips were trembling. It was very different from the calm and majestic expression at the beginning. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. He thought he was sick, so he felt a little uneasy. He said: "Secretary Lu, are you not feeling well? Did I disturb your rest? Otherwise, I will take my leave now and you can take a nap and rest!"
Seeing him standing up and ready to leave at any time, Secretary Lu suddenly grabbed his arm and said almost in a pleading tone: "My child, don't go! I don't feel any discomfort. On the contrary, I feel very sad now." Happy. Come on, come on, sit down and let's chat for a while... By the way, why did your mother give you this jade pendant? Does she want you to find your father? "
Ye Ming felt a pain in his heart. He lowered his head to look at the jade pendant on his chest, rubbed it a few times with his hand, his eyes turned red again, and said in a choked voice: "Secretary Lu, this is my mother's relic. It was left by her. The most precious inheritance given to me. She said: When I wear this jade pendant, it feels like she and my father are with me! She also said: This jade pendant has spiritual energy. If I encounter any big disaster in the future, Difficult, as long as I touch the jade pendant a few times, she will feel it under the nine springs, and she will..."
"Wait! My child, what did you just say? You said this jade pendant was your mother's relic?"
After Secretary Lu heard the word "relic", he felt as if someone had punched him hard in the chest, which hurt his heart. At the same time, his originally flushed cheeks suddenly became extremely pale. Unable to control his emotions, he interrupted Ye Ming's narration again and asked in a higher tone.
Ye Ming nodded and said sadly: "Secretary Lu, my mother is a teacher in a rural middle school. She has taught in our middle school for more than 20 years and has never left there. Five years ago, she suffered from liver cancer. But she still insisted on giving lectures on the podium until she finally collapsed on the podium and was sent to the hospital. She passed away a month later..."
When Secretary Lu heard his last words, he suddenly groaned lowly, and then said to Ye Ming in a choked voice: "Child, wait! I'm going to the bathroom!"
Under Ye Ming's surprised and worried eyes, Secretary Lu staggered to the bathroom door in the room like a drunkard, tremblingly opened the door, then went in and locked the door, and suddenly covered it with his generous palm.
He covered his face, and large streams of tears gushed out from his fingers like spring water, immediately soaking his neck, his collar, and his chest...
