Chapter 27 Chapter 1 The Capital Reunion
After a long time, it is like a cup of bitter tea overnight. Because of the long soaking, although the taste is still there, the fragrance has disappeared.Many people like to taste the life and look back on the vicissitudes of life in a cup of tea.If you believe in past and present lives, then everyone has actually experienced the wind and smoke of thousands of years.Regardless of whether you have been a flower or a tree, a human or a demon over the years, and how many lifetimes you have passed through, at least you truly exist in this life.Although we have carried a lot of lost time, the green mountains, green waters, flowers and trees, birds and animals are all safe and sound.When we lament the passing years, we should be moved by the persistence of life.
Under the silk tree, Nalan looks like a bamboo chair, a cup of tea, sitting in the warm sun and flipping through books, teaching Qingfeng how to read.His body was filled with the mature scent of a man in his prime, just like the second cup of tea he brewed at this time, exuding a rich and mellow aroma.When he saw the light moss growing on the corner of the rich family, he suddenly realized that he was a man who had aged ahead of time, and his years of poetry and wine had unintentionally thrown him away.At this moment, he can only pick up his thin shadow in the sun.In Nalan's thoughts, the figure of the snowy beauty in Jiangnan has always been there.He always believed that he and Shen Wan must have met in the previous life, so when they met for the first time in this life, they would feel a deep love at first sight.
The short flame picks off the flowers, and the night is long and the sound is silent.Tired dance but smells the chicken, and secretly feels that the green silk is wet.
The bright moon should laugh at me affectionately, laughing at me now, living up to Chunxin, wandering alone and singing alone.
Nothing has changed, he is a poet, and his mission is to turn the scattered words into chapters.Thoughts are lines, emotions are needles, and it describes human affairs and world affairs, and the years are rough and frosty.Looking back on the past, our busyness cannot leave any mark in time.But text has an indelible memory, it will remember all your past.In this way, Nalan let us all remember him. Although this is not his original intention, we can't help ourselves from indulging in the emotional lyrics.Nalan is willing to be a slave to writing, threading needles, studying ink and lighting incense for it, and has no regrets in this life.
In these few poems, he wrote all his lovesickness for Shen Wan, and he blamed himself for being sentimental and failing Chunxin for no reason.These days, Nalan is still following Kangxi, striding through the Forbidden City with a noble status, but he is as humble as a swallow in his mouth, just doing ordinary busyness for a life of adequate food and clothing.For a long time, Nalan believed that he had the karma of Buddha and the root of wisdom. Maybe it was because he was too smart that he could see through the prosperity early and be indifferent to utilitarianism. He called himself a Langa Mountain man and lived freely in his own vast and narrow world. , brewing emotions.
Sansheng Huiye is not resistant to floating dust.Anyone who has tasted and drank the fireworks in the world for a long time will not be able to be true and pure, and dare to say that he will not be disturbed by fame and fortune in his life, and will not be troubled by common things.The reason why Nalan is so contradictory and reluctant to give up is because although he has a Zen mind, his Zen mind eventually fell into the world of mortals.It is difficult for him to easily push through the clouds and mists, and cultivate in the prosperity that can be seen everywhere.Nalan couldn't help laughing at himself when it was hard to get rid of the routine, and vowed to be a clean person, but he couldn't do without the deep water dyeing vat of the world.Claims to be passionate, but always burdens beautiful women.His heart has been entangled with these complicated things for a long time, so he only feels that the time is passing too fast, and the years are aging so hastily.
Upstairs on the Swallow Tower, a woman in plain clothes has been standing there for a long time.From early morning to sunset, she looks in the same direction in the same posture, and every spring, the swallows also return from that direction.This is not Guan Panpan's Swallow House, and what she is waiting for is not Bai Juyi.She is Shen Wan, and she is waiting for Nalan Rongruo, that influential figure in the distant capital.She would rather she was waiting for a fisherman who came out early to fish, and she was an ordinary cook, and occasionally pulled a dusk glow horse, dreamed a dreamy cloud sweater, and shared food with him in the simple chaimen Light rice and rough tea.
The white jade tent is cold and the night is quiet.
Falling flowers are speechless, although she is as light as a chrysanthemum, her damp youth is waiting to be dried.She is not a cook, but a famous singing girl in the south of the Yangtze River, a woman who can write lyrics, compose music, play the piano and sing.Even if she is dressed in coarse plain clothes, she can't hide her peerless elegance, and living in a hut with firewood can't hide her dignity and elegance.She guarded herself for Nalan and left the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. Her talent and name, and her "Selected Dream Ci" are still scattered in the fireworks and willow alleys in the south of the Yangtze River, and they are sung tirelessly.The rope of fate binds her tightly, even if you struggle to untie her, it will still bear an indelible mark for life.
In the Lushui Pavilion, Nalan confided his longing for Shen Wan to his friend Gu Zhenguan.He didn't want to be a person with a bad heart, so he decided to set off, and then went to the south of the Yangtze River to live together with Shen Wan.It's just that this decision means that his life will suffer even greater shattering.In desperation, Gu Zhenguan decided to take Rong Ruo's place in the south of the Yangtze River, take Shen Wan to the capital, and then make a long-term plan.The person who tied the bell had to be untied. Back then, when Nalan heard of Shen Wan's name from Gu Zhenguan, he had a good impression of her.Later, by coincidence, Nalan and Shen Wan met in the south of the Yangtze River, and formed such a deep-rooted relationship.
At the time of life and death, one should sacrifice everything for her, Gu Zhenguan swore to live up to Nalan's entrustment.When Shen Wan learned that Nalan Tuo Gu Zhenguan came to pick her up to the capital, she did not hesitate at all, packed her simple bags, a volume of lyrics, a piano, full of thoughts, and resolutely walked out of Jiangnan, where she swore to the death.When the love is deep, she can break the past vows, even if she will be punished, she will not care.She had to exile herself, wear the stars and wear the moon, even if her face was stained by the wind and frost, and her dress was wet by the dew, she would also rush to his arms.
That night, Nalan had a dream. He dreamed that the dead crabapple was blooming in the courtyard, and in the dream he heard the sound of ding ding.When he got up the next morning, he went to the Lushui Pavilion, and Shen Wan slowly walked to his side. Only then did Nalan realize that even good dreams can come true.Nalan's first words when he saw Shen Wan were: "Yu Chan, do you know? You brought me the whole of Jiangnan. You are Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is you." Such a sentence made Shen Wan full of emotions, She knew very well that all the choices she made for this man were worth it.No matter how fate arranges her in the future, whether it is glory or disgrace, sweetness or bitterness, she is willing to accept it.In this life, I only love such a man; in this life, I only break this contract; in this life, I only live and die for him.
However, the cold reality will not be softened by their unswerving love.The disparity in status and the constraints of popular customs will not shorten the distance and change the regulations because of their perseverance.Nalan returned to the prime minister's mansion, and bravely told everything about his and Shen Wan's mutual acquaintance and love, and vowed to make Qin and Jin friendship with her, and work hand in hand to live forever.No matter how much Nalan Mingzhu and his wife loved him, they could not violate the law and let them be together.How many people in the court are coveting the status of Nalan Pearl, if Nalan Rongruo made a wrong move this time, causing uproar in the court, although it is not a serious crime, it is inevitable to suffer rumors.What's more, Nalan had just been promoted to be the first-class imperial bodyguard, so it was inevitable that some villains would make a big fuss about it among the famous people around the emperor.After all, Shen Wan is not an ordinary Han girl. Although she doesn't have the logo of a brothel woman engraved on her body, but with her reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, do you still need others to investigate?
Nalan, who is affectionate and righteous, and Nalan who is arrogant and uninhibited, will give up so weakly because of the prejudice of the world?If it was said that he was cowardly when he was fighting against contradictions before, this time, Shen Wan gave up everything and came here to join him. Nalan would not let her down again, and he insisted on accepting Shen Wan as his concubine regardless of his family's obstruction.Prime Minister Nalan's Mansion couldn't tolerate Shen Wan, a Han woman who was born in a brothel. She was not allowed to live in the garden of Ming Mansion, and she was not recognized as a concubine.
Nalan was angry and placed Shen Wan in a courtyard in Deshengmen, as if living a loving life with her.They are people who are fed by emotions. Since they have tasted the sweet nectar, they should give their bodies to emotions.There is no need to make a promise, they bind themselves together, tie them to the light boat, and let the river flow to float each other wherever they go, for love, they will never regret it.
