Chapter 23 third quarter

When the official family went again, it was no longer Zhao Yi, a great merchant, but Zhao Ji, the current emperor of Xuanhe and Taoist emperor.Now that the camouflage was removed, he simply put on an official style and valued the four colors of "Pihan Jindian", "Yingyue Bead Ring", "Dancing Luan Qingjing", and "Jinqiu Xiangding" collected in the inner mansion. Liancheng gave Shishi a gift.He thought that this kind of style might change Shishi's opinion of him, and he could easily achieve his goal.Sure enough, this time he was treated not by a big businessman but by an official in Zhen'anfang.The master bowed to him and danced to thank him, did what he should do in etiquette, and performed for him as solemnly as if he played Taichang music in the imperial temple or danced the eight-legged dance in the temple, but he still maintained his attitude. A lonely look.

He was afraid that the official style might restrain them.The next time I go, I intend to ask Grandma Li to comfort me.Grandma Li was exactly as he expected, she fell to the ground as soon as she saw him, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.On the night of August 17th, before Shishi showed up, Grandma Li used to show off her honey-juice-like social skills, but now the honey-juice seems to have been drained from her bones.The officials tried their best to comfort her, and called her "Lao Niang" affectionately, and said with a smile: "From now on, I and my Lao Niang are members of the same family, so don't be rigid!" Kou Yufeng, how many people can there be in this world?This is of course a great honor, a special favor that Wang Fu, Gao Qiu and others tried their best to ask for but could not get.After the official said this, he sneaked a glance at Shishi to see how she reacted.Unexpectedly, Shishi is not like what he imagined, she neither feels humbled because he exposed the identity of the official, nor is she proud of what he said, she is still cold and indifferent.

The official's impression of Shishi from other people's oral traditions can be summed up in the word "yan". Later, when he met Shishi in person, he realized that the word "yan" was inappropriate and should be changed to "rhyme". Later, I went there a few times and tasted her loneliness again and again, only to deeply realize that the word "rhyme" is not enough to complete the teacher's life, and the other word "cold" that he is very reluctant to unconsciously appeared in him gained the upper hand in the generalization.From then on, when he contacted Shishi, he couldn't get rid of the word "cold" that rejected people thousands of miles away.

The wealth of the big businessman, the wealth of the official family, and the relatives of the family are the three heavy artillery that he thought beforehand that he could win in a decisive battle. He did not expect that these hot weapons would completely fail in front of the cold teacher.He obviously underestimated the opponent's resistance.The failure made his mind clearer, and he changed his strategy from a quick decisive battle to a tug of war, hoping to win her with a protracted "toughness".But the result of the change did not make his situation better.This matter seems to have reached a stalemate from the very beginning, and it is impossible to smooth it out in the future.The current situation is this: the more he wants her, the less he can get her; the more he can't get her, the more he wants her.This vicious circle completely lost the initiative in him, and it became more and more the top priority in his private life.

One day, Empress Zheng asked sourly: "What is the Longxi family that makes the officials so obsessed with her and worry about her? The concubine and others are deeply puzzled." This imprudent wording annoyed the official very much, and he suddenly broke out and said: "How can you compare with her, and how can you compare with her?" He obviously contemptuously demoted all the people in the palace below Zheng Empress, "If a hundred people in your palace all take off their glamor Wearing casual clothes without make-up, standing next to her. She has a posture that stands out from the crowd. She is elegant and elegant, and she is out of the dust, and she will never be in tune with you."

The official's words were too serious, which not only made Empress Zheng unable to step down on the spot, but also aroused public indignation in the court.But he won't budge.They quickly understood that although officials usually have a good temper and don't lose their temper easily with them, this is the only thing they can't touch. An ignorant admonisher named Cao Fu wrote a memorial (probably at the behest of Empress Zheng, because Cao Fu was a corporal of the privy envoy Zheng Juzhong, and this Zheng Juzhong was associated with the Empress. , was regarded by the empress as her family. In order to please the empress and the privy envoys, Cao Fu offended the emperor. It can be said that he was greedy for small gains and neglected the great harm), and even threatened to say: "Chang'an people speak their native land", It means that the city is full of disturbances now, which will greatly hinder the reputation of your official family.After the officials read this memorial, Longyan was furious, and immediately relegated him to a small far-off state to be a bureaucrat.He also indirectly warned Zheng Juzhong to mind his own business.

This little speaker got the punishment he deserved as soon as he got angry.The officials hoped to please Shishi with this, but he still couldn't grab what he longed for from her heart.With the power of an emperor, he couldn't force her to give her heart.For more than a decade, he has made only limited progress.She seemed to freeze their relationship at a certain distance.He is only allowed to move freely in this range.She promised him to visit her once after a considerable interval, and he could talk to her about poetry, calligraphy and painting.She can play qin and zither for him, and when she is in a good mood, she is even willing to play the sandalwood board and sing a little poem he made up to please her.This kind of singing is relatively close to his appreciation level, so she can also accept his applause and praise.And when she was in a deeper mood and sang another tune, he also grew wiser, and instead of applauding foolishly, he showed with a deep meditation that he fully understood her feelings.In order to portray this depth of emotional understanding of music, he even drew a picture of "Listening to the Qin", which has been handed down through the ages, depicting the harmony and tacit understanding of the thoughts and emotions between the player who plays the piano and the listener.But she knew very well that his understanding was very limited after all, and she was just pretending to accept his pretended appreciation.No pretense can break through the spiritual distance.

This has reached the highest limit she can give him.If he was going to touch a string that she was not allowed to touch recklessly, suggesting something between them, she would use various methods to prevent him from talking further.If he wanted to keep his vested rights, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops, otherwise, he was afraid that even this little right would be revoked. What a tough and long-lasting battle this is!
