Chapter 35: Mountains and Rivers (2)
This semester's homework is more intense than the previous semester, and half of the credits have to be completed in this semester.
Although her homework was tight, Ye Ziyu still spent a lot of time reading all kinds of books. When he didn't like to take class, he peeked at the novel below and asked Li Xin to cover for him. Li Xin said he really should go to the Chinese department. Ye Ziyu said, isn't this not not admitted? However, maybe after reading the Chinese department, I will not have such interest. Just as you can't make a career out of a hobby, once you become a career, you will slowly lose interest. Li Xin said that he was all a fallacy. However, under the influence of Ye Ziyu, Li Xin also began to read some Chinese and foreign masterpieces more extensively. Li Xin saw a short article in Reader magazine about the ten novels that had the most profound impact on her by several famous contemporary writers, and she said she had never read any of them. Ye Ziyu said that not only did he not read it, but many of them had never even heard of their names, and it was all those writers who couldn't write anything with pigs sticking green onions in their noses - pretending to be elephants. The works they write don't make people feel profound, so they deliberately make some books that few people read to show their profundity, which is not mentally retarded.
Li Xin asked Ye Ziyu to introduce her to a few books, and Ye Ziyu said that being able to read through the four classical classics of China is a very profound knowledge. Let's just read these books first. Li Xin said she had seen them all. Ye Ziyu said, all you see are comic books, Li Xin smiled and beat him. However, Li Xin really hasn't read the original book, but has only seen the rewritten version of a modern writer. So Ye Ziyu said that the real people hate others to change their works the most, Jin Yong said this, if you want to change your own work, don't write it and destroy other people's achievements. Therefore, when you read the four famous novels, you must read the original books, and after reading these books, and then read all the Jin Yong novels that you haven't read, you will have a complete merit in this university. Li Xin thought about it, so she first borrowed "Dream of Red Mansions" from the library and began to read the whole book. Ye Ziyu told her that when she finished reading, he would test her and test her reading level. Li Xin scoffed.
At this time, Ye Ziyu specialized in reading world classics. Reading these works takes time and requires a mood. I can't find such a time in high school, and I was busy with love last semester. Only now can I really have plenty of time and a calm mood. Ye Ziyu watched "Les Miserables", "War and Peace", "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Red and Black" and so on.
He reads books day and night, hiding in the library during the day and holding a flashlight in the mosquito net at night. So when Li Xin finished reading 120 copies of "Dream of Red Mansions", he also finished reading these four books. These four books are similar in age or even overlapping, and he reads them a little out of time. In all four books, he reads the shadow of Napoleon. The different male protagonists in the book are like Napoleon's past and present lives. Finally, after reading "Red and Black", he felt the deepest about Lian this character. He also read the evaluations of many famous people for Lian, both positive and negative. But he didn't feel anything wrong with Lian's feelings, what he did, he didn't feel that Yu Lian did anything wrong, and he sighed for Yu Lian's fate of failure in the end.
During this time, the two of them attended classes and read, and the days were in an orderly manner, but Ye Ziyu's machismo began to emerge. Sometimes in order to read books, after class at noon, he didn't want to go to the cafeteria to eat, so he asked Li Xin to eat by himself, and then brought him some. At the beginning, Li Xin was very angry and resolutely refused, but she couldn't stand Ye Ziyu's soft and hard rogue face, and her personality was originally gentle, so she gradually began to accommodate Ye Ziyu, and she didn't want to live for a long time, and both sides became a habit.
After reading the full version of "Dream of Red Mansions", Li Xin was deeply attracted by the poems in the book, which is absolutely impossible to experience when reading the rewritten version. She has a new understanding of the women in the book, whether it is Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, or Xiangyun Miaoyu, etc., all of them are ruthless, and the poems are gorgeous, showing the beauty of her daughter. This kind of thinking of hers is exactly what Ye Ziyu wants, in fact, in his bones, he is really fascinated by the fragrance of red sleeves and the beauty of ink. So he took advantage of Li Xin's enthusiasm and went to the bookstore to buy back two thick books, "Tang and Song Poems" and "Tang and Song Ci", and gave them to Li Xin.
On this day, the spring was bright, and there was no class in the afternoon, so the two walked up the mountain hand in hand. On the way, Ye Ziyu said: "It's time for you to report on your feelings after reading "Dream of Red Mansions". ”
Li Xin refused, saying that I would ask you first. Ye Ziyu said, just ask.
Li Xin said, "Which poem in "Dream of Red Mansions" do you like the most?"
Ye Ziyu laughed and said: "Xue Baochai's 'Good Wind Relies on Strength, Send Me to Qingyun', and Lin Daiyu's 'Crossing the Crane Shadow in the Cold Pond, Hiding the Flower Soul in the Cold Moon' are all very good." But these two sentences are well known to everyone and are not worth boasting about, and my favorite is the words of the folk poet in the Dream of Red Mansions. ”
Li Xin was puzzled and asked, "Who is the folk poet?"
Ye Ziyu shook his head, and deliberately said in a vicious voice: "If it's not me Jiao Da alone, you will be an official and enjoy glory and wealth? Your ancestors have earned this business all their lives, and now, instead of repaying my kindness, they will act as masters with me? If you don't talk to me about anything else, if you say anything else, let's go in with a white knife and come out with a red knife! Where can I hope to give birth to these animals now! Every day, the family steals dogs and chickens, climbs the ashes and climbs the ashes, and raises the little uncles, what do I don't know? We folded our arms and hid them in our sleeves!"
Li Xin punched him and scolded with a smile: "I hate it, people are asking you seriously, it's getting more and more oily." ”
Ye Ziyu said with a bitter face: "I really can't say which poem is the best in "Dream of Red Mansions". In fact, among the four famous novels, I read "Dream of Red Mansions" the least, and after only reading it once, I felt that it was complicated and long-winded. It's a garden thing to write about, and the visual scene is too narrow. Moreover, in this book, none of the men dared to speak loudly, so I memorized Jiao Da's jokes, and I really couldn't say anything else. If I say Xue Pan's 'daughter is sad, marrying a man is a turtle', I'm afraid you will scold me even more. ”
Li Xin covered her mouth and smiled, in fact, she liked Ye Ziyu's humor very much. When she was at home, she chatted with Chen Sina about Ye Ziyu, and she said that as long as Ye Ziyu was willing, a few words would always make people laugh, and it would be very pleasant to be with him.
At this time, Ye Ziyu asked her, "Tell me who you like to compose poems?"
Li Xin thought about it and said: "In general, of course, it is Lin Daiyu. However, the verdict of Yuanchun in the twelve hairpins of Jinling makes me feel sentimental. ”
"Yuan Chun's verdict, what did you say?" Ye Ziyu was completely impressed.
Li Xin lowered her head and said softly: "For twenty years, I have distinguished right from wrong, and the pomegranate blossoms have bloomed in the palace." Three springs compete for the early spring scene, and the tiger and rabbit meet and return to the big dream. Although the meaning of this poem is ordinary, the sadness expressed makes me reminisce. I think when Yuan Chun was in Daguanyuan, she ordered Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu to compose poems, and what kind of mood would she be when she watched them and Jia Baoyu flirt with each other? But for the sake of her parents and family, she entered the palace early to serve the emperor. Three springs compete for the early spring scene, and the pomegranate blossoms shine in the palace. Glory is very glorious, and the other sisters envy her, but who can understand her suffering? Although the age of the emperor of the dynasty is not written in the book, but the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, Yuan Chun is just one of them, the love that young men and women desire the most, naturally has nothing to do with her, glory and wealth, and a big dream. Therefore, if "Dream of Red Mansions" is a novel that eulogizes love, then Yuan Chun, compared with her sisters, is the first to lose love and despair of love. ”
