Chapter 21 Chapter 5 Ancient West Wind Road

The days are turned over inadvertently like this, and we always like to read the turbulent yesterday in the ordinary today.I always think that the past is always worth recalling, but I ignore that tomorrow will become yesterday.And all the process and details will eventually have to be paid to the years. The twists and turns experienced in a lifetime are really innocent.So we don't have to believe that the past that has been shelved in the depths of time must be long-lasting and beautiful.No one can really live a peaceful and simple life, and grow old calmly. Nalan's life is like traveling against the road, the farther he goes, the more difficult it will be.Just imagine a person, riding a horse in the rivers and lakes, chasing his own direction, but mistakenly going the other way.In this life, he can only wander the world, leaving the world in desolation.Nalan is such a person who can cry alone in the bustling, and enjoy the joy alone when lonely.He was forced to play a role he didn't like in the world, just like a beautiful young girl who put on rich makeup and someone else's wedding dress, with a smile on her lips, pretending to be happy.

Nalan felt that the only thing he should be proud of was his words.He can store all his heart and mind in his words, and every stroke of ink is rich and full, so rich that there is no trace of moisture.Therefore, no matter how many years have passed, black is still black, white is still white, even sorrow and joy are clear and distinct.His words have always maintained the edges and corners that have not been worn away, and can completely reach the reader's heart.His fading mortal world and his firmness are like a persistent green leaf in autumn, like a cup of tea that has been brewed several times, trying not to lose its original flavor.

Nalan told himself that if he wanted to calm down, he had to soak in the words, so that he could ignore his age, his warmth or coldness.He immersed himself in searching the classics and history, and compiled the knowledge he had learned and the narration records of his fellow students into a document. After three or four years, he finally compiled four volumes of "Miscellaneous Knowledge of Lushui Pavilion".The book contains knowledge of history, geography, astronomy, Buddhism, music, literature, etc. The content can be described as inclusive and all-encompassing.Nalan discovered that he was born for words in this life, and he let himself drift in the vast river of history, picking up the fragments of civilization.Everything not only inspired his spirituality, but also gave him a feeling of great satisfaction and great loneliness.Things that were once thought to be simple and ordinary also have emotions and connotations.Thoughts that were once thought to be complicated and complicated are actually simple and common.

Although Nalan continued to serve as a bodyguard, after the compilation of "Miscellaneous Knowledge of Lushui Pavilion", all the officials of the court added to their respect for this young talent.In his life, apart from his emotional ups and downs, when it comes to fame and fortune, he can be considered proud.It can be said that Kangxi doted on this talented scholar of the Qing Dynasty, but he never gave him an official promotion. After so many years, he still couldn't do without the post of guard.The reason has also been explored before, it is because Nalan's weak and sentimental temperament prevents him from holding a higher position.Kangxi's love for him has not diminished in the slightest. Over the years, he has gotten used to Nalan being by his side. If he is transferred away, Kangxi may feel reluctant to part with him.

Nalan, whose wounds were gradually recovering, was no longer so haggard. Standing in the crowd, he was still outstanding and handsome.Being on duty every day and getting along with his colleagues is not only boring, but also secretly fights, which makes him very depressed.Back home, facing the arrogant Guanshi, even though he wanted to comfort her and be a little gentler to her, he always felt powerless when they were together.Only by being in the scrolls can one find some coolness and joy.When you calm down, there is a boundless emptiness in your heart, and the prosperity of this world fills the emptiness more and more.In order to make his heart no longer so thin, he kept himself busy and met friends at Lushui Pavilion. He used to only like to drink, but now he often gets drunk.

Since ancient times, many literati like to hold a pot of wine in their hands and hide a thousand lines of poems in their stomachs.In fact, wine can't soothe sorrow, and wine can't wake up dreams. Wine can only bring joy to happy people and sorrow to sad people.Even after drunkenness, one can see one's melancholy and sorrow more clearly, and the incompleteness hidden in the past will be revealed after drunkenness.Just like the state of mind, if you hold yourself calmly, the scenery you see will be calm; if you hold yourself sad, the scenery you will see must be bleak.Life is a mirror, if you smile at it, it will smile back to you, if you cry at it, it will cry back to you.Such a simple truth, but people in the world always spend their whole lives searching and thinking, and in the end, they can't figure out what went wrong and why the direction of pursuit often runs counter to their wishes.

When Kangxi ordered Nalan to travel with the emperor, he suddenly felt relieved.Many reluctance in the past, at this time, has become a kind of desire.The pressure when he was in office, there were many battles in the palace that he was not used to, and there were many flattering faces.Every plant and tree in the Ming Mansion is tied to his eternal grief.Now I have to face a woman I don't love, look at her, and force a smile.Nalan thought, he should leave here, go far away, and leave his hometown. Maybe only in this way can he temporarily forget, forget all the ups and downs in the capital, and forget the love and resentment in his life.Let yourself stand up with a dignified attitude, to measure the customs and customs of different regions, and to underestimate the joys and sorrows of others.

Nalan was wrong, he is always so full of emotions, so he can't sit on the clouds and look down on the mortal world.In these years, as a palace guard, he participated in various important activities with Emperor Kangxi, and he can be regarded as traveling all over famous places, mountains and rivers, state capitals and towns.Although his poems are often written about parting and parting, which cannot escape love, but so many years of experience and experience have broadened his ideological realm, so the connotation of life has been deposited in the words, and it has an unbearable weight. Sad spring and autumn.Therefore, it seems inappropriate to compare Nalan to Jia Baoyu in the novel.With Nalan accompanying the emperor for many years, what he has seen and heard from the north and the south, his vision, and his mind, how can it be that Jia Baoyu, who lives in the Grand View Garden and is with the vanilla beauty all day long, can reach.

Nalan's family does have similarities with the Jia family in China.Nalan's background and certain encounters are somewhat similar to Jia Baoyu's.However, everyone creates all kinds of uniqueness in their own journey.But there are many coincidences, a smile, a sigh, a word, will have a similarity with myself.We are all ordinary ones among all living beings, dressed in different roles, but experiencing the same vicissitudes of life.Time is fair, it will not be biased towards anyone, it is really not easy for us to pass the green time to the green, to pass the frivolous beginning to the heavy ending.When a person is compassionate to others, he is compassionate to himself; tolerating others is tolerating himself.

Nalan traveled with Kangxi, although he had to always take into account the feelings of the monarch, he was as humble as an extremely human minister.But as an emperor, he may hinder the freedom of his subjects, but he cannot restrain his mind.Thousands of landscapes are open to all people in the world. As long as you have the heart, you can live a more noble and proud life than a king.Nalan is walking on the journey of life, rushing from one station to the next.Every time he met someone or encountered something, he created a sky in his heart and brewed an emotion.He will not easily ignore every opportunity in the life process.He is like the wind, passing by others, but everyone can remember that he is the only one.And Nalan has never been a predator, he will take away a piece of memory, and it will leave a little touch.

Along the way, rubbing shoulders with various customs and customs.But it was his late wife who attracted Nalan's heart the most.He thought that being exiled would temporarily forget her, but he was wrong, such a wandering would only increase the nostalgia for her in his heart.He misses the capital and the garden of Mingfu, because there are plants and plants he is familiar with there, and every plant and plant remembers the kindness of him and his beloved wife.He recorded these feelings in words because he could not forget each other. Who wants the west wind to be cool alone, the rustling yellow leaves to close the windows, meditating on the past and standing in the setting sun. If you want to send your sorrowful heart to the side of the geese, the west wind will leave the feast with turbid wine.The blue sky in the yellow flower season. Walking towards the bank of Yunshan Mountain, the north wind blows off the neighing of the horse, and the deep autumn is far away. Gambling books disappear with the fragrance of tea.This is the life he has been looking forward to. He once had it. At that time, it was just ordinary. Now he realizes how much people want to cherish that kind of idleness.A person's life seems to be walking in the midst of misses, and only when he looks back can he realize it, but it is always too late.On the ancient west wind road, there was a poet named Nalan Rongruo, riding a skinny horse, wandering in the cold smoke.His loneliness is the loneliness of a reed flower, and his lovesickness is the lovesickness of a red bean.In fact, he is really not far away from us, just a few hundred years, a tree is still lush as before; a grain of sand is still tiny; a crescent moon repeats its waxing and waning every year.
