Chapter 18 two dust settled
People are always praying for consummation, thinking that good tea needs a good pot, good flowers need a good bottle, and a beautiful woman should be matched with a talented person.But I don't know, sometimes the shortcoming is a kind of beauty, and it is more pleasant to be casual.It's too delicate, too perfect, but you have to live in shock.Since you intend to live in this world, don't expect too much, and don't ask too much why.And when every road is a deserted path, everyone is a passerby, and every memory is the past.
In life, we often cannot understand why many beautiful women choose an ordinary man.But there must be something about this man that moved her, and he has strengths that are unknown to outsiders.Many times it is our wishful thinking that sighs, while others are actually satisfied and happy.
In the eyes of the world, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng are both talented and beautiful. They studied abroad together and studied ancient Chinese architecture with modern scientific methods.It's just that those young people who love to dream always think that Lin Huiyin and Xu Zhimo are the most suitable couple.When they were young, they didn't know how cold the reality was. Poetry and painting can only embellish the days occasionally, and cannot be regarded as the whole of life.People who really understand life will know that firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are real fireworks and happiness, and music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops can only be used to cultivate one's emotions.
After going through the dreamy youth, we have an extra responsibility on our shoulders, and our thinking is more rational.Love is no longer frivolous, but steady and deep.I don't know who said it, if you love someone, you don't have to have it at seventy-four, as long as you know that she is there and that she is good, that's enough.So Xu Zhimo later fell in love with Lu Xiaoman and married Lu Xiaoman. He was also very at ease, because he knew that Lin Huiyin was always there and would be very happy.It's just that Xu Zhimo and Lin Huiyin thought they could forget each other, but every time they would meet each other quietly in the middle of nowhere, the fate was too deep, so they would never leave each other.
Maybe everything should be settled, you have your harbor, and I have mine.In March 1928, 24-year-old Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng got married at her sister's home in Vancouver, Canada.
The couple finally got their wish and became partners, spending a long life together.Maybe it's because each other knew the ending a long time ago, so there were not many surprises, and everything was calm and peaceful.
After getting married, they went to Europe to visit ancient buildings according to Liang Qichao's arrangement, and returned to Beijing on August 18.In September, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin were employed by the Department of Architecture of Northeastern University, and were appointed director and professor respectively.
Before marriage, Liang Sicheng asked Lin Huiyin: "There is a sentence, I only ask this once, and I will never ask again in the future, why me?" What a charming and special woman this is. In Liang Sicheng's eyes, she was originally a mysterious and beautiful woman, and now she has to wait and care for her all the more because of her words.
As the days flow, Lin Huiyin walks along this road of life that suits him. Although there is no infinite beauty, it is also suitable for mountains and rivers.For her, this is life. Although this kind of life is plain and simple, it will never be lonely and barren.Lin Huiyin's original choice was right. Although her life was not perfect, she lived a calm and peaceful life.Both literary achievements and architectural achievements are admirable.Many people said that she lived too innocently, as innocently as the bright moon hanging in the middle of the sky, people dare not and cannot bear to get close to her, for fear that her cleanliness will reflect her own filthiness.
Therefore, although Lin Huiyin, who is as beautiful as a flower, is beautiful and charming, and won the love of many people in that era, she is also lonely, and her loneliness stems from her innocence.Although she tried her best to let herself fall into the dust, she would taste the fireworks in this world with all living beings.But the pure spirit in her bones has followed her since she was born, and has been with her for a lifetime, never leaving her.In that era when there were so many talented women, Lin Huiyin was always the only one. With her peerless appearance, unrivaled talent, cleanliness and elegance, she made the three best men love her for a lifetime.So many women have hurt themselves to pieces for love, but Lin Huiyin has no such sad memories.
Lin Huiyin's cleanliness can't help but remind me of Lin Daiyu in the movie, that beautiful woman who is always clean and clean.She is a fairy, sister Lin who fell from the world, and she came to the mortal world to pay off her debts.So she has been living in isolation in the world, even in the scheming Jia's house, she has never changed her initial disposition.So no matter how much she loves Jia Baoyu, if she wants to miss him in the end, all the world can do is to sigh.She is romantic, and her romance dares to break through the barriers of the world; she is infatuated, and her infatuation dares to dedicate her youth and life to love.She is not afraid of failure, what she is afraid of is the ruthless dojo in this world. In fact, she did not lose, she won the love of Jia Baoyu's life.Her death was just because the debt was settled, so it was better to go back.
Lin Huiyin and Lin Daiyu do have similarities, but they are two completely different people.Although Lin Huiyin is clean and pure, she loves romance, but she does not live in a lofty world. She yearns for fireworks and fears loneliness.If love is a bet, Lin Daiyu's chip is all her youth, while Lin Huiyin's chip is a short period of youthful and lonely time.Because Lin Huiyin couldn't afford to lose, she hoped that she could live to be gray-haired and have a long time worth remembering for a lifetime when she was old.She lived too clearly, so she couldn't live in the Grand View Garden, and she couldn't dream of the seventy-six "Dreams of Red Mansions".
Everyone is qualified to dream, but if you miss the age of dreaming, you will have to pay a price if you want to dream unscrupulously.Since Lin Huiyin chose to be awake, he had no choice but to throw away his dreams and wander in the bustling world.She is like an egret spreading her wings, soaring up the willow bank of the years, passing by the lake, and flying towards the life she wants.It's just that her soul is still that white lotus, quietly growing in the mud, and she is peerless.
On January 19, 1929, Liang Qichao, who had been seriously ill for several months, passed away. Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin designed the tombstone for his father.In August of the same year, Lin Huiyin returned to Peiping from the northeast and gave birth to a daughter, named Zaibing, which meant to commemorate the nickname of the late grandfather Liang Qichao's "Ice Drinking Room" study.Lin Huiyin finally lived the life she wanted, which is to marry a real man, give birth in an ordinary way, without turbulent emotions, but stable and beautiful.The birth of her daughter made Lin Huiyin more certain that her choice back then was correct, because the happiness she expected was so simple.
A happy family made Lin Huiyin fall into happiness and refused to wake up, and her career achievements pushed her life to another extreme.This year, Zhang Xueliang won the Northeastern University emblem pattern in the form of prize money, and Lin Huiyin won the prize with the "White Mountain Black Water" pattern.This year, Lin Huiyin's life has grown and blossomed, but how long will the flowers bloom?Will there be a day when the flowers fall in season and everything will be delivered to the flowing water?In fact, we all understand that in this world, how can there be flowers that only bloom and never fall, and how can there be a life that only rises but never falls?
After all, Lin Huiyin is a smart woman. She understands that any relationship is a fateful arrangement, and that any life style has its irreversible rules.When she was asked to give up that ideal love with her own hands, it was inevitable that she would end up in a miserable state.So God is fair, everything she got now is also what she got in exchange for the price.Even if one day the happiness you have gained has to be handed back at seventy-seven, what is it?It is rare to be calm in life, I only wish you and me to be at ease with the situation.
