Chapter 3 white lotus in two dreams

I believe that many people have a feeling of reluctance for Jiangnan water town.No matter who is in Jiangnan or has never set foot in Jiangnan, they all have almost fateful nostalgia for the scenery and customs of Jiangnan.Over time, Jiangnan has become a dream in many people's hearts, a dream that is often remembered but dare not touch.Because I am afraid that this dream will not come true in my lifetime, and I am afraid that my wish will not be fulfilled at the end of my life journey. Everyone has no way of choosing their own hometown. Whether you were born in Jiangnan, where flowers and willows are flourishing, or grew up in Saibei, which is desolate and desolate, you were destined as early as in your previous life.The god of destiny has arranged where we come from and where we are going. Even if the place called hometown is not the place we love in our hearts, it cannot change its true existence.But we can choose to migrate, or we may be forced into exile, and all of this has long been determined.We have always been passers-by in the world, we come and go, you go and I stay, that's all.

Some people say that falling in love with a city is because someone you like lives in the city.In fact, it is not the case. Falling in love with a city may be because of a vivid scenery in the city, a childhood memory, or a familiar old house.Perhaps, just for this city.Just like falling in love with someone, sometimes you don't need any reason, no antecedent, nothing to do with romance, just love. Hangzhou, the thousand-year-old city praised by the world as a paradise, is the place where many people's souls and dreams are attached to.There is the world-famous West Lake, the misty and rainy alleys like a dream, the deep courtyard with willow shoots on the moon, and the unspeakable feelings in the dream.Whether you were born in Hangzhou, or you only have a relationship with West Lake, you are very lucky to have something to do with this city.It is said that under the same blue sky, they will meet each other by fate, but in the same city, can they really communicate with each other?

Fortunately, Lin Huiyin was born in Hangzhou in the season of lotus blooming more than a hundred years ago. This poetic and implicit city has become more charming since her arrival.A city with a natural charm is nourished by the feelings of the autumn moon and spring breeze, and is filled with stories of poetry and wine. It exists truly and beautifully, and there is no need to set a trap. Everyone who meets it will be attracted by it involuntarily, and will never wake up from it. For a gentle and intelligent woman like Lin Huiyin, her life must have cause and effect. So her ancestral home was originally in Fujian, she will be born in Hangzhou, and she who loves white lotus will be born in June when the lotus blooms.This prosperous and proud ancient city will not easily lower its eyebrows and smile for someone, but Lin Shiyi Huiyin can be that alluring woman.In the light rain on the West Lake, the lotus slowly stretched and bloomed. Many years later, this woman named Lin Huiyin became the white lotus that many people dreamed of.Only she can afford the poetic and leisurely beauty of Hangzhou, and the warm and clean feelings of West Lake.

Lin Huiyin was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and his grandfather Lin Xiaoxun was a Jinshi in the examination, and he served as an official in Jinhua, Xiaofeng and other places in Zhejiang.His father, Lin Changmin, graduated from Waseda University in Japan. He is good at poetry and calligraphy.And grandmother Youshi is elegant and noble, a dignified and virtuous beautiful woman.Lin Huiyin inherited their elegant and excellent bloodlines, so he has extraordinary talents and peerless appearance in this life.Maybe all of this is just accidental and not inevitable, but Lin Huiyin is destined to become a talented woman in that era.

In the summer when the lotus bloomed, Luguan Lane in Hangzhou was as simple and peaceful as ever.The long alleys paved with bluestones are filled with light fireworks from the ancient city, and occasionally pedestrians pass by leisurely, leaving their trance memories in time.This is a city where you can dream when you smell the wind. We are often touched by some small tenderness and touch, forgetting that we are just passers-by in this small town.Where do you come from and where do you go back? In just a few decades, you just borrowed a body from the years. I always believe that the body is just a decoration, and only the soul can be taken away freely without giving anyone an account.

The Lin House in Luguan Lane, Hangzhou is a simple and spiritual deep courtyard with a gentle Jiangnan heritage.It’s just that I don’t know how many cold and warm pasts there have been under the white walls of Daiwa; how many people have seen wild geese flying south on the old wooden buildings.No matter where you come here from, you will mistakenly think that this old house is the hometown of your dreams.Time seems to be stuck in yesterday, but it is really so far away.A hundred years of vicissitudes, the changes of the years, how many personnel and affairs have been changed beyond recognition, what has not changed is always the old feelings retained by the old house.

The willows in the courtyard have sprouted again, the nests built by swallows between the beams are still there, and the old-fashioned vases on the wooden table are covered with dust.On a certain summer day more than a hundred years ago, a baby girl cried in this house. Today, more than a hundred years later, no one knows where she has gone.Her name is Lin Huiyin, and from the moment she landed in the world, there is already a destined life story waiting for her to interpret.Either mediocre, or gorgeous; or plain, or ups and downs; or joy, or sorrow, all these processes have already been written in the book of destiny.

Do you believe in the Book of Fate?Zhong Jia Baoyu visited the illusory realm, and looked through the "Jinling Twelve Beauties Main Book" and "Jinling Twelve Beauties Secondary Book".The judgment written in this booklet is the fate of the twelve beauties of Jinling, and it is a hint of the ending of their lives.It's just that the confidante is so unlucky, so "Bo Mingsi" is written on the plaque.After all, there are so many beautiful women, their beautiful faces and beautiful appearance can't match the withering of spring hate and autumn sorrow.Some people care about whether the process is gorgeous and the result is meaningless, while some people don't care how hard the process is, they just want to have a good death.

Everyone who came to the world crying brought endless joy to their loved ones, and everyone who left the world with a smile brought eternal sorrow to their loved ones.Could it be that since a person is born, there is really a book of life, which is placed in the underworld as conspicuously as the book of life and death?And we have to follow the content in the pages of the book and perform it word for word before we can give up?If this is the case, you really don't have to run too hard, you must know that cause and effect are fixed, and gains and losses follow fate. It is said that people are born to bear sins, but for a new life, everyone has an unstoppable joy in their hearts.However, the prosperous world is not a glass of poisoned wine. You think you are tired of it, but in fact you always want to get drunk and have fun.It is happiness to wait for a colorful flower event; it is happiness to dream with the one you like under the sun; it is happiness to wait for a period of warm and cold time to grow old slowly.

The birth of Lin Huiyin undoubtedly brought great joy to the Lin family. Although she was a baby girl, her powder-carved face made people happy at first sight.This beautiful baby girl instantly added aura and joy to the heavy mansion.Grandfather Lin Xiaoxun from the Book of Songs "Daya?"Si Qi" adopted the meaning of "Da Si Si Hui Yin, Ze Bai Si Nan", and gave the baby girl the beautiful name Hui Yin.Later, in order to avoid confusion with Lin Weiyin, a male author at that time, it was changed to Lin Huiyin from 1934. Perhaps it is precisely because of this name that Lin Huiyin was deeply loved by Xu Zhimo, Liang Sicheng, and Jin Yuelin in his life.Especially Jin Yuelin, who loved Lin Huiyin tenderly and persistently all his life and never married.In this way, he waited for Lin Huiyin all his life, was lonely all his life, and remained silent all his life.Let me ask, how many men can bear such a deep emotion?

We can't read any story from a baby's face, every new life has a spotless purity, is so perfect.A person is purest only when he is born and when he dies.Newly born people delete all the memories of their previous lives and come to the world purely.And a person who is about to die will leave empty-handed, unable to take away the dust of this mortal world. But I always believe that no matter how pure you are, there will always be something revealed somewhere.In a drop of water, you can see its deep content; in a flower, you can read its subtle thoughts. Therefore, Lin Huiyin must have revealed compelling aura and intelligence when he was a baby.Perhaps they all understand that this little girl is destined to use poetry and beautiful feelings to complete the mission of landing in the world.
