Chapter Twenty-Nine: Peeping into the Secret
Lei Tianen asked Markham to bring him the "big book" and "main book", and Markham Yu remembered it. At noon on the third day, she brought a box of dumplings and a large stack of "big books" to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop", but Lei Tianen had already gone home to eat. Markham Yu gave half of the dumplings to her father, and found Lei Tianen's home according to the address his father said.
"Is there anyone at home?" Wan Jinyu, who had just arrived, didn't dare to make a mistake, and asked while knocking on the door.
"Who?" Lei Tianen, who was about to eat, heard a girl's voice, which seemed to be Markham, so he asked and ran to open the door.
"Miss Wan! How do you know I live here? Lei Tianen opened the courtyard door, and when he saw that it was Markhamyu, he asked with a smile.
"Who am I? Is there anything in the world that I don't know? Markham Yu said jokingly with an old-fashioned look.
"That's it! Is that! Miss Wan is very smart, what else can stump you. Lei Tianen also said teasingly.
"Hmmm! Count you smart. Markham Yu also took Lei Tianen's ridiculous words as the truth.
"Hey! Miss Wan! Have you eaten? If you don't eat it, you can eat it with me. Lei Tianen asked with concern.
"I've already had lunch, but I still want to eat with you!" Markham said with a smile.
"That's good! I went to the 'Jufu Garden' to order two good dishes to entertain Miss Wan who came to the Humble House for the first time. β
"No need! Look at what good things I've brought you. As she spoke, Markham handed the box containing dumplings to Lei Tianen.
"Oops! You always bring me things, and I can't get away with it! I said you don't want to bring me any more stuff in the future. "There must be dealings, and there is no rudeness to come. Markham always brings things to Lei Tianen, but Lei Tianen has never had anything good to repay Markham, and he always feels sorry - he has already told Markham many times that she should not bring anything to him, but Markham Yu just doesn't listen and still goes his own way.
"As long as Miss Ben is willing, even the Jade Emperor can't control it." Markham said in a mocking tone that it was still the same as always.
Lei Tianen also knew Markham's young lady's temper, and no matter how much she said, it would be useless, so she could only give up.
"Oops! Did you bring me so many dumplings? Did you leave some for your dad? Lei Tianen saw that there were a lot of dumplings in the food box, and he was a little "uneasy".
"I have left as much for my dad as you do, and you're as important now as my dad." Markham Yu said in a complex way.
"How dare you! How dare you! How dare I compare to your father. Lei Tianen said with a little trepidation and a little teasing.
"Don't be poor! Hurry up and eat! Dumplings are not tasty when they are rotten. Markham Yu said with a fake sneer.
"Then let's eat together." Lei Tianen said and brought two pairs of chopsticks and handed one pair to Markhamyu. Markham Yu had already eaten at home and didn't want to eat it anymore; But she wanted to enjoy the living atmosphere of the "little couple", so she took the chopsticks and sat opposite Lei Tianen.
The two had lunch and, of course, talked about the books that Markham brought with them. When Markham Yu put those beautifully bound "big books" and "main books" on the table, Lei Tianen looked at this book and flipped through that book as if he had seen a rare treasure.
Wan Jinyu saw that Lei Tianen liked books very much, and secretly thought that this gentleman was not a layman, and he would have a future in the future, and even become a great weapon, so he was very happy, so he introduced him one by one:
"Brother Tian'en! This "Zizhi Tongjian" is a "big book" written by Sima Guang, the prime minister and historian of the Northern Song Dynasty, which took 19 years to write involving the 1362 years of history of 16 dynasties.
Why did Sima Guang call the title of this book "Zizhi Tongjian"? Many people don't understand this question, and even many so-called scholars can't explain it.
"I heard my mother say: The so-called "Zizhi Tongjian" is: 'In view of the past, there is the meaning of governing the Tao; Tong means all, all. 'means.
"Brother Tian'en! At the beginning of this "Zizhi Tongjian", it said: "The first Jin doctors Wei Si, Zhao Ji, and Han Qian were appointed as princes. Immediately afterwards, Sima Guang sent a discussion of more than 1,000 words with "Chen Guang said", which was really wonderful!
"Let's talk about this "Twenty-four History", which is 40 million words long and has many authors. Its first article is the "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian, a historian and writer of the Western Han Dynasty, who spent more than 20 years after being corrupted. It is not only a steaming and incomparable historical masterpiece, but also a shining treasure in the treasure house of ancient Chinese literature. It focuses on historical figures, and skillfully integrates relevant historical events into biographies to reflect the process and evolution of history.
"Sima Qian, with his sharp brush, which is full of strong love and hatred, has built a glorious gallery of historical figure paintings for us. Those historical figures with various postures and charms are about to come out and leap on the page, so that every reader will have love, hatred, joy, and anger. Then we can understand life from the magnificent live drama they performed, grasp the context of historical development, and comprehend the profound philosophy contained in the historical footnote.
"Brother Tian'en! Let me tell you about this book "Hundred Schools of Thought": In 771 BC, there was a backward and strong ethnic group of Dog Rong who broke through the Western Zhou Dynasty Haojing and killed King You of Zhou. In the following year, King Zhou Ping, the son of heaven, who succeeded to the throne, moved the capital east to Luoyi in order to avoid 'Rong Kou', and Chinese history entered the first period of social turmoil, known as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
"After King Zhou Ping moved eastward, the royal family declined rapidly, and the princes fought among themselves, 'thirty-six kings were killed, fifty-two countries were destroyed, and the princes were running, and there were countless people who could not protect their societies.' It is a portrayal of this chaotic social reality.
"As the saying goes: 'Spring and autumn are unrighteous wars.'" In the midst of this violent social upheaval, the academic culture originally possessed by the aristocracy spread to society. There are two main ways for it to spread: first, the books and classics originally kept by the government are scattered among the people; second, the original courtiers and scholars were separated from the ruling group; This has laid a cultural foundation for the prosperity and development of ideology and culture in the future.
"In view of this chaotic social reality, many people of insight are seeking a way to 'save the times and solve the people's suspense'. Because these giants who go against the wind are relatively independent in society, they have no political fetters and can freely use what they have learned. Therefore, they ran among the princes, lobbied above the court, and preached their political opinions. Or recruit a wide range of disciples and teach their own academic teachings. As a result, in the past 500 years or so in Chinese history, all the sons have swarmed up, and hundreds of schools of thought have contended, forming a very brilliant and spectacular scene of great ideological and cultural development and prosperity. This is the historical source of the emergence of the hundred schools of thought.
"The creative spiritual activities of Zhuzi are like countless springs of pearls and jade, which have converged into a long and grand river of Chinese culture. It can be said that the thought of the hundred schools of thought has given birth to the most fundamental character, psychological and thinking characteristics of the Chinese nation, and laid down the basic moral norms and customs in Chinese social life.
"That's it! I won't say more! See for yourself, understand for yourself! These books are all my own, you can read them slowly, whenever you see them. If there is something you don't understand, we will learn from each other and improve together. Wan Jinyu was afraid that Lei Tianen would not be able to accept it for a while, so he stopped talking.
"Good, good! I must read these books carefully and try to understand them; I guess there must be a lot of things I don't understand, and I hope that Miss Wan will give me advice. Lei Tianen, who was thirsty for talent, couldn't help but pack up the books in the room, and Markham Yu followed him into his room to visit.
Although Lei Tianen is a boy, the room is very elegant, and there is a taste of a literati and elegant residence, which makes Markham Yu admire and love him even more.
Since Markham Yu knew Lei Tianen's residence, she didn't go to the "Wanchang Medicinal Herb Shop"! Instead, he often went directly to Lei Tianen's house to "**" with Lei Tianen - this Markham Yu has reached the level of "deep love for Lei Tianen and can't stop".
Ladies and gentlemen! Markham Yu is so affectionate to Lei Tianen, so what about Lei Tianen to Markham? It is difficult to accurately describe the dynamics of Lei Tianen's thoughts on this issue. Don't say yes, even if you ask Lei Tianen himself, it is difficult for him to say clearly - he not only admires the beauty of Markham Yu, but also receives the love of Markham Yu's tenderness like water; But he didn't forget his first love **Long Fengyi for a moment.
Long Fengyi is the daughter of the Dragon Mansion, but she is deeply in love with me, a poor boy; Because of this, I have suffered so much and suffered so many grievances, and I have been covered with wind and rain in the city, and everyone knows it; This is not an ordinary thing for a wealthy lady. I can't let people go to tea and live up to her heart!
Putting aside the previous things, let's just say that at noon on the second day of her birthday last year, when she visited me at my residence, she once said to me from the bottom of her heart that she would always wait for me and love me. He also quoted the Han and Wei Anonymous in "The Evil": "The mountains have no tombs, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder and earthquakes, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, and you dare to be with the king." "To confess her heart. These scenes are like yesterday.
Later, on the second night of the first month of June, under the east window of Steward Feng's room, Miss Feng Yi said to me affectionately, hoping that I would remember what she had said to me in the gazebo: "Don't be discouraged, don't be decadent!" Cheer up, be strong! Study hard and strive to get ahead. And with the jade pendant as evidence, he swore to the sky: "She and I, love will always be remembered, and the sea will not change our hearts!" If you change your mind, the sky will thunder! And I also swore to her at the time: "I will always miss her, love her, and wait for her, and I will not change my heart when the sea is rotten!" "The jade pendant she gave me has always been on me, in my heart!
However, the person in the heart is only in the heart, but not beside him; Next to him is this beautiful Markham Yu. But with this flowery and moon-looking Markham, how can you forget the graceful dragon and phoenix? No! No way! I can't accept this Markham Yu's love! I'm going to settle a relationship with her - she's just the boss's daughter! She's just a sister-like friend! Nothing else!
Lei Tianen's mind is calm and sober! But Markham's mind was still warm and "confused", and it became more and more enthusiastic - the frequency and temperature of her contact with Lei Tianen were constantly increasing.
Wan Jinyu likes to eat rock sugar gourds, and she often takes rock sugar gourds to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" or to visit Lei Tianen at his home.
Markham Yu buys rock sugar gourds for one and two, but she doesn't give one to Lei Tianen. How? Does she want to eat alone? Definitely! She wanted to eat one with Lei Tianen, one by one - she asked Lei Tianen to eat the first one, she ate the second, and then let Tianen eat the third, and she ate the fourth...... What's more, sometimes Markham Yu has to eat one with Lei Tianen - she grabs the ends of the rock sugar gourd stick with both hands, and asks Lei Tianen to eat half of the rock sugar gourd on the stick side first, and she herself eats half of the rock sugar gourd on the side of the stick. This way of eating is acceptable if the performance of the contract is implemented; However, when Lei Tianen ate half of the rock sugar gourd over there, Markham Yu often put her mouth up to eat the half of the rock sugar gourd here; In this way, the lips of the two can easily touch each other - kiss.
Lei Tianen was very uncomfortable with this way of eating, but he couldn't withstand Markham's soft and hard means - Markham Yu either begged him angrily, or forced him with phoenix eyes wide open, and in the end, Lei Tianen could only obediently comply. After a long time, it became natural to get used to it-Markham Yu and Lei Tianen often ate rock sugar gourds together like this-which caused a lot of emotional turmoil and affected the direction of many people's lives.
"East and West Birthday Month, Day and Night Like Turning Pearls". The wheel of history slipped into the Republic of China for eight years.
The two "Guangji Pharmacy" opened by Long Zaitian are very large in scale and use a lot of medicines, and under normal circumstances, there are special purchasing personnel to purchase goods outside, or they are delivered to the door by the wholesalers of medicinal materials who often come and go. But sometimes, when it is unfortunate, I also go to the herb shop to buy a small amount of Chinese herbal medicine for emergency relief.
There are two traditional Chinese medicine shops in the whole Jiangzhou City: one is the "Longsheng Medicinal Material Shop" in the south of the city, and the other is the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" in the west of the city.
After the Spring Festival this year, due to the lack of Poria cocos and salvia, Mr. Zhou Jingzhai, the pharmacist, asked the young man Jin Shaohua to go to the "Longsheng Medicinal Material Shop" a little closer to buy some goods.
Jin Shaohua went to the "Longsheng Medicinal Material Shop" to enter Poria cocos and Salvia, and the "Longsheng Medicinal Material Shop" only had Salvia, not Poria cocos; The clever Jin Shaohua went to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" to buy it again.
Jin Shaohua, who usually doesn't go out much, went to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" to buy Poria cocos and salvia, but saw a very familiar figure; stepped forward to take a closer look, and was actually "driven out" of the Dragon Mansion by the Dragon Lord, and was not allowed to go back, and no one was allowed to interact with Lei Tianen-the shrewd Jin Shaohua did not talk to Lei Tianen, who had not paid attention to him, according to the rules of the Dragon Lord.
After seeing Lei Tianen's Jin Shaohua go back, he couldn't help but talk about it in secret; This was known to Liu Huadong, the leader of the guys. After hearing the news, Liu Huadong carefully learned about the situation from Jin Shaohua, so he went to Longfu to inquire about the "Guangji Pharmacy", and asked him to "tell Miss Long Fengyi's personal maid Shen Qiaojiao as soon as there is a situation"; As soon as Shen Qiaojiao heard the good news, she immediately told Miss Long.
Since Lei Tianen left, Long Fengyi has been thinking about that cute handsome boy all day long. Lei Tianen's smile and frown, every gesture and gesture were firmly imprinted in her mind; And has turned into a clear spring flowing day and night, nourishing her heart. But where is that Lei Tianen now? How is he living? She didn't know. She inquired about her parents, but her parents not only kept it secretive, but also forbade her to know about Lei Tianen's situation, even if she went far away, someone followed. In desperation, Miss Long had to ask her personal maid Shen Qiaojiao to go to Lei Tianen's good friend Liu Huadong to inquire about the situation; And ask Liu Huadong to report as soon as he has any news. When Long Fengyi thought about it, she took out the emerald gold ring that Lei Tianen gave her and played with it; When no one was around, she still talked and chatted to the emerald gold ring, as if she had seen it in her eyes and heard it in her ears; Sometimes they even kiss gold rings; to comfort the pain of lovesickness.
Today, Long Fengyi learned of Lei Tianen's whereabouts, just like a long drought and a rainy day, and the gold list was on the top spot, so she hurriedly came to the "Guangji Pharmacy" and asked the young man Jin Shaohua to lead her to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" to find Lei Tianen.
Jin Shaohua, who couldn't be pushed, led Miss Long to a place not far from the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" and went back; Feng Yi came to the door of the medicinal herb shop excitedly alone.
Miss Lung Fung Yee is about to move through the door to meet her longing sweetheart; But I heard the silver laughter of a woman and the laughter of a familiar man. At the same time, Long Fengyi also saw a scene that shocked her and made her very angry - Lei Tianen, who had been thinking about it for a long time, was eating a rock sugar gourd with a beautiful girl talking and laughing.
This shot was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and like a bombshell, it completely crushed Long Fengyi - her internal organs were entangled! Tighten it! It seems that I still hear the sound of some collapse scattered in the depths of my heart, accompanied by a heart-rending pain.
Long Fengyi's legs could no longer step into the store, so she stood there. After dozens of seconds, after seeing the young girl and Lei Tianen eating a rock sugar gourd together, she lifted her heavy legs with all her strength and turned around and left the cursed "Wanchang Medicinal Herb Shop".
When Long Fengyi returned home from the "Wanchang Medicinal Herb Shop", she locked herself in her room and didn't see anyone - she was angry and bitter - it turned out that the person who made her heart drunk was actually the one who broke her heart!
You Lei Tianen, you once swore an alliance with me, and I once poured my heart and courage into you; You said I wouldn't marry, and I said I wouldn't marry you...... You make me forget you, but I remember you even more. You're gone, and I'm missing you day and nightβthe most painful thing I do every day is missing you, but the happiest thing I do every day is also missing you; For me, such longing is both a torment and a sweetness; And I always treat it as a kind of sweetness. Who would have thought that in less than two years, this eager sweetness would turn into a cold astringent fruit; This kind of good memory turns into a cold smile - you empathize with don't fall in love, hook up with that goblin from nowhere, and linger - hey! The oaths of you men are all written on the water, and they are unreliable without roots!
A master once said: "Love is easy to hate in the depths, hate to the extreme is love, and love without hate is not real love." "The current Long Fengyi is like this-she loves and hates Long Tianen, hates and loves her. She didn't eat, drink, or talk, and locked herself in her room and couldn't come out. Her mother Zhao Shuxian came to call her and she didn't pay attention, her father Long Zaitian asked her and she didn't pay attention, and Long Ye asked her to call her the "little mother" Qin Keqing, who usually talks about the most, but she still didn't pay attention; Even when Old Lady Long and Old Lady Long came to call the door, she didn't open the door - the whole Long Mansion was in a hurry.
It was still Long Fengyi's personal maid Shen Qiaojiao's brain, she hurried to the "Guangji Pharmacy" to bring Miss Long back home from the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop", and told Liu Huadong about the situation that she was locked in the room and did not see anyone; Ask Liu Huadong to go to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" and find a way to find out the crux of the matter.
As soon as Liu Huadong heard this, he estimated that Miss Long Fengyi went to see Lei Tianen, and there was something wrong with Lei Tianen. Therefore, after he sent Shen Qiaojiao away, he hurriedly asked Mr. Zhou Jingzhai, the chief pharmacist, for half a day of leave, and hurried to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop".
Liu Huadong went to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" to find Lei Tianen, and pulled him out of the store without saying anything.
Lei Tianen saw that he hadn't seen him for more than 20 months, and his good friend Liu Huadong, who was in a hurry to get angry, came, and was about to make love, but Liu Huadong grabbed him, making his second monk confused.
"Lei Tianen! You unconscionable fellow! You said! Miss Long came to you happily yesterday, what did you say to her? her off? Liu Huadong believes that Miss Long can fall in love with Lei Tianen, who was born as a beggar, which is the great creation of Lei Tianen, and Lei Tianen should be honestly afraid, grateful to Dade, and respected like a god; Why did you make Miss Long angry? Therefore, he was unceremonious to Lei Tianen.
"What? What did you say? You said Miss Long came to me yesterday? How did I not know? Lei Tianen was confused by Liu Huadong.
"What? You want to admit that you've done something good, don't you? You didn't do anything to Miss Long, so why did she lock herself in her room after she went back, not eating, drinking, and not talking? Liu Huadong glared at Lei Tianen with fire in his eyes.
"East China! Don't you stare at me like that, okay? You don't know who I am? When have I ever lied to someone? β
"You're not lying? Then after Miss Long came to you yesterday, why did she become so angry when she returned home? Liu Huadong thinks that Lei Tianen should not be ungrateful; But after seeing Miss Long return from the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop", she was angry like that, and felt that it was probably because Lei Tianen was ungrateful.
"Miss Long was angry like that as soon as she came home yesterday...... East! When did Miss Long come to me yesterday? Lei Tianen seemed to suddenly realize something.
"What garlic do you pretend? Miss Long came to you at ten o'clock yesterday morning, do you still want to deny it? β
"Miss Long came to me at ten o'clock yesterday morning, and I ...... at ten o'clock." Lei Tianen didn't care about Liu Huadong scolding him, but calmly recalled and sorted out what he did yesterday morning.
"What are you?"
"Oops! I know......" Lei Tianen suddenly realized - at ten o'clock yesterday morning, Wan Jinyu happened to be playing in the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop", and the two were still eating rock sugar gourds together - Miss Long, who came to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" to find him, must have seen this scene, which made her embarrassed?
"You're finally admitting? Lei Tianen! Let me ask you, Miss Long is so good to you and has paid so much for you, you are so ungrateful now? Still offending people? Do you have a little moral conscience?. β
"Hey! East! I am not ungrateful, I have not offended Miss Long! β
"What? You just admit it and don't admit it? Liu Huadong's anger rekindled.
"East China! I guess that's the case, you come with me to the house, and I'll tell you slowly. Now, Lei Tianen had to take Liu Huadong to his home and take him to the "Wanchang Medicinal Material Shop" to work, and Wan Jinyu, the daughter of the owner of the medicinal herb shop, and her mother came to the pharmacy to play and got acquainted with him. Later, Miss Wan often came to the medicinal herb shop and brought him some food from time to time. This Miss Wan also likes to eat rock sugar gourds, and she especially likes to eat a bunch with him, or even eat one together. Yesterday morning, Miss Wan happened to be playing in the store, and the two of them happened to be eating rock sugar gourds together; It is likely that Miss Long came to the "Wanchang Medicinal Herb Shop" at that time and saw this scene, so when she returned home, she was so angry that she locked herself in the room and didn't see anyone.
Liu Huadong listened to Lei Tianen's words, punched Lei Tianen twice, and scolded hatefully: "You ungrateful thing! You bastard! You faint and go crazy when you see a girl! You're simply not human! You're not even as good as **! Miss Long is so good to you and has made such a big sacrifice for you, but you are here with other girls, do you still have a little moral conscience? Walk! You go back with me now, plead guilty to Miss Long, kowtow and beg for mercy, and see if she can forgive you. β
"Hey! East China! I'm not human! I'm a bastard! But it's not exactly what you think, and I can't be blamed for it! I have repeatedly suggested to Miss Wan that I am just a general friend with her and cannot be too close; Especially when the two of them ate rock sugar gourds together, I repeatedly told her that they couldn't do this. But she either begged me angrily, or forced me with phoenix eyes wide open, so I had to do it! β
"As a last resort? If you don't eat rock sugar gourd with her, she will eat you? Or did it rip you? Are you worthy of Miss Long like this? Miss Long, can you not be sad when she sees you like this? β
"I know this! In fact, I haven't forgotten Miss Long for a moment in my heart, Miss Long has suffered so much for me, suffered so many grievances, and made the city full of wind and rain, everyone knows, how can I live up to her heart! Especially on the second night of June last year, under the east window of Steward Feng's room, what Miss Long said to me has always been ringing in my heart, and I have always remembered it.
"The most memorable thing for me is that Miss Long wanted me to remember that she was always waiting for me and loving me. Later, he gave a jade pendant, and used the jade pendant as a proof, swearing that 'love will be remembered forever, and the sea will not change its heart!' βγ Miss Long's jade pendant has always been on me, in my heart! You see, this is her jade pendant, and I wear it all the time! Lei Tianen said, lifted his shirt, and took the jade pendant to Liu Huadong.
"Hey! You guy! How did you get things like this? Then you say! What do you do now? β
"I think the only way I can ask you for help in this matter!"
"Can I help? How can I help you get into trouble? Liu Huadong asked reluctantly.
"East China! You and I have been good friends for many years, and I beg you to find a way to see Miss Long after you go back, and explain to Miss Long in detail what I have just explained, and tell her my inner thoughts one by one, and ask her not to be angry and not to misunderstand; Ask her to forgive me and forgive me. And please tell Miss Long that I, Lei Tianen, will always love her alone; In this life and this life, I will not marry her. β
"You guy! You cause trouble, let me take the rudder. All right! I'll go back and tell you if Miss Long can forgive you and forgive you, it depends on your creation. After all, they are good friends, Liu Huadong didn't want to embarrass Lei Tianen too much, so he nodded and agreed.
Liu Huadong returned to the "Guangji Pharmacy", and after taking care of the important matters, he came to Longfu, tried to make an appointment with Shen Qiaojiao, told her the general situation, and asked Shen Qiaojiao to tell Miss Long: After the "Guangji Pharmacy" closes in the evening, go to his house to listen to the details.
In the evening, Long Fengyi and Shen Qiaojiao went out for a break and came to Liu Huadong's house. Liu Huadong put what Lei Tianen said about the truth and the true thoughts in his heart, as well as Lei Tianen's request for her not to be angry, not to misunderstand, and to ask her to forgive and forgive; and showed that Lei Tianen will always love her alone, in this life and this life, if Miss Long does not marry, etc., he made a detailed statement to Long Fengyi in the original way.
After listening to Liu Huadong's words, Miss Long's hatred for Lei Tianen decreased a lot, and she suddenly felt much better in her heart; After she thanked Liu Huadong repeatedly, she hurried back to the house with Shen Qiaojiao.
