Volume I: Chapter 58: The Gate
However, what he did not think about and even greatly surprised Yu Yin was that once the floodgates of memory were opened, the past would rush out like a torrent out of control; And at this moment, the floodgates of Shu Yan's memory have undoubtedly opened most of them.
So, I only heard Shu Yanyu reminiscing about the past, and took the initiative to confide in Yu Yin: "I remember that it was twenty-one years ago, and on the first day I entered the Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Castle, I had the honor to become the personal maid of Aunt Rong and the current Empress of the Heavenly Dynasty. Of course, it was on that day that I first met the second master of Wen Neng's pen to settle the world, and the third master of Mo who was able to go to Ma Dingkun; And on that morning, at that rainy and sunny moment, at the blue sea bridge that you have been entangled with now, he knocked on my heart without warning as he meditated on his cheeks. ”
"Knocking on your heart? Aunt Yan, do you mean, did you fall in love with Third Master Mo at first sight? Yu Yin asked Shu Yan with a purpose.
"Love at first sight? How could it be! I was only 12 years old! When I was young, how did I understand the love between men and women? At that time, I only said that they were the sons and daughters of rich and noble families, and they did not dare to approach, nor did they want to approach. Shu Yan responded to Yu Yin truthfully.
When Yu Yin heard this, he continued to ask Shu Yan again and again: "What about later?" Aunt Yan, this kind of young and ignorant idea of yours shouldn't last forever, right? As you grow up, as you spend more and more time in Jinhong Water Heart Castle, how has your perception of Mo Sanye and the people in the castle changed? Since when did this change? ”
Sure enough, at this moment, Yu Yin carried forward his usual style of questioning, like a cannon, like nine rings, one ring after another, without giving people the slightest time and opportunity to breathe.
When Shu Yan, who was not surprised, couldn't help but shake his head, and kindly reminded Yu Yin and said, "Don't worry, young master, I have to say, you should also restrain your extraordinarily curious temperament in time." After all, no matter what, you should let people take a breath and sort out the messy thoughts by the way, so that we can tell about it later! ”
When Yu Yin heard this, he suddenly felt ashamed.
Fortunately, Yu Yin, who admitted her mistakes in time and had an excellent attitude, hurriedly expressed her determination to Shu Yan and said: "What Aunt Yan said is very true, I will change it, I will definitely change it." And now, I'm not in a hurry, Aunt Yan, you can take a good breath, and then talk slowly, speak slowly, anyway, I can't go anywhere with my injured foot; So what I have is time, so I can be ready to wait, be on call at any time, and listen to your call at any time, Aunt Yan. ”
"Don't say it so seriously, young master, you are very good, you don't need to make any changes, just a little restraint. Anyway, young master, what do you mean by 'young and ignorant thoughts'? It's normal to be young and don't understand the love between men and women, young master, how can you casually divide the simple me at that time into the young and ignorant? Shu Yan pretended to be dissatisfied and asked Yu Yin.
When Yu Yin heard this, she hurriedly apologized to Shu Yan and explained: "I'm sorry, Aunt Yan, forgive me for a moment of slip of the tongue, Aunt Yan, who was born with a bright heart and eyes like a torch since childhood, even if you are still young and inexperienced, you will definitely not be young and ignorant. ”
However, when Shu Yan listened to Yu Yin's words after correcting the slip of the tongue, he felt even more awkward in his heart, as if it was not as good as the words before the correction before, which sounded pleasing to the ear!
So, I only heard Shu Yan helplessly say to Yu Yin: "Forget it, young master, you still don't have to explain more in the future." According to common sense, confused people will only explain more and more confusingly; But now it seems that you, an understanding person, also explain more and more confused; To be precise, the more you explain, the more confused others become. Just because your praise is more unacceptable than scolding. ”
"Okay, okay, Aunt Yan, I'll listen to you, I'll just do what you suggest. Aunt Yan, you can always answer the question I just asked! How has your perception of Third Master Mo and the people in the castle changed? Since when did this change? Yu Yin responded to Shu Yan in a perfunctory manner, and asked Shu Yan again.
"Young Master, just like you just said, even if the thoughts I had when I first arrived at this Jinhong Water Heart Fort were not young and ignorant, they could never be set in stone. Don't say that what happened later came together one after another, one after another, even if the fort has been in a state of calm and peace, with the gradual familiarity with the people and things in the fort, my cognition will definitely change to a greater or lesser extent; What's more, in the Jinhong Water Heart Fort, which has always been difficult to get along, a violent storm will fall from time to time, and a storm will be set off from time to time. Shu Yan confirmed and recognized Yu Yin's conjecture.
When Yu Yin heard this, he asked Yu Yin in one go: "That is the case, Aunt Yan, when and what caused the change in your initial thinking and cognition?" And Aunt Yan, what kind of role do you play in this stormy storm and stormy waves? Is it the instigator? Is it the initiator? Is it a victim? Or a beneficiary? Or is it a bystander? ”
"I'm sorry, young master, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, because none of your conjectures are correct." Shu Yan told Yu Yindao truthfully.
When Yu Yin heard this, he suddenly asked Shu Yan in disbelief: "None of them are correct?" Aunt Yan, could it be that you mean, I guessed all wrong? ”
"Yes, young master, you guessed all wrong." Shu Yan confirmed Yu Yin categorically.
"Aunt Yan, if I guess all wrong, what does the fact, the correct answer, look like?" Yu Yin asked Shu Yandao urgently.
"The truth is that every change in my mind and every inch of my thoughts in the past has nothing to do with the decisions of others, at least not directly, but is influenced and controlled by my own emotions. For example, in the past, when the old man personally sent his own brother of his mother's compatriot, that is, your late Third Uncle Mo, to the battlefield, I thought that it was very likely that I would never see him again in this life, and I couldn't help but become irritable, irritable, and even crazy when I thought about him. At that time, I had beaten my head more than once to make myself think less about him. Shu Yan replied in reminiscence.
"Aunt Yan, since every change in your mind and every inch of your thoughts is affected and controlled by your own emotions, when did your former state of mind change?" Yu Yin asked Shu Yandao.
"This subtle influence, the natural change, where is the right time? But now, since you have asked, young master, and I happen to want to give you a definite answer. So I thought about it, and I thought that it was at that time, when the master sent him to the battlefield, that the seeds of love probably germinated quietly at that time! It was probably from that time that my heart was only open for him alone. Shu Yan replied between recollection and thought.
"And so? Aunt Yan, so you decided to go to the battlefield with Mo Sanye, right? Yu Yin asked Shu Yan along the ladder.
"Yes, under the double torture of not seeing and not seeing, and not being able to love, for a while, because I couldn't see the hope of the future, and suddenly felt that the road ahead was boundless, I simply joined the command of Gongsun Shu; And that year he was fifteen and I was fourteen. However, I was on the battlefield but it was difficult for me to go into battle, so I had to stay behind the battlefield as a medical woman and take care of the soldiers who were wounded on the battlefield; Of course, in this way, he can also follow him to fight in the south and the north, and fight thousands of miles. Shu Yan replied proudly in his memory.
When Yu Yin on the side heard it, he didn't care. Because Yu Yin has always analyzed things comprehensively, he always habitually links what he has learned before with what he has heard and seen in the present, and considers it comprehensively; So when Yu Yin combined the situation that Shu Yan said half a month ago, combined with what Shu Yan had just said, and thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt that it was not a taste in his heart.
Shu Yan clearly knows that the stars hold the moon and the invincible Baili Mo will never respond to her who is unknown and only knows how to pay; But she was proud to be able to see him from afar; still accompanied him in danger without hesitation, and accompanied him from birth to death.
And all this, Shu Yan's actions for her own love, in Yu Yin's opinion, are so unworthy and unnecessary.
Yu Yin felt that Shu Yan could obviously live a more chic and comfortable life, and she could live a more comfortable life, at least she didn't have to feel so embarrassed to love someone who was not worthy of love; At least that's what Yu Yin thinks, but Shu Yan herself is not.
So, Yu Yin, who only listened with great disdain, poured cold water on the head of Shu Yan, who was deeply proud, uncontrollably: "What about then? Aunt Yan, have you been running around the back of the deer so silently and silently, accompanying the side of Xuanwu? Until the end of the deer chase, until the Xuanwu soul is broken. ”
And when Shu Yan heard Yu Yin's sharp words, instead of being annoyed by this, he unexpectedly thanked Yu Yin: "Thank you, young master, thank you for being unconditional, undemanding, and sincerely holding grievances for me." I can hear that your words indicate that you don't seem to have much affection for your late Third Uncle Mo; But that's just because you don't know him well enough, or even at all. Actually, he deserves your affection for him; I believe that if he is still alive and well in this world, you will definitely like him involuntarily, you must be very angry, and you will definitely get along very well. Even though I know, I know, that you are feeling unworthy for my silent efforts; But ......"
