Chapter 2 If Life Is Only as First Seen
The fragrance in the painting boat of West Lake is elegant, and the aroma of tea is mixed in it, which is very harmonious. After Zhao Jiaren heard it, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, 'professional enough'.
"Miss Wan'er......" Zhao Yong spoke.
Without waiting for Zhao Yong to finish speaking, Bu Ruyan spoke with a charming smile, "Brother Zhao, you still call me Bu Ruyan." ”
"......, step girl...... I've thought of you a lot over the years." Zhao Yong's words revealed the obvious shyness of a single dog.
Zhao Jiaren sighed secretly in his heart, if it was about his ability to do things, Zhao Yong might be much better than Bu Ruyan. But when it comes to receiving people and things, Zhao Yong is just a child who has not grown up in front of Bu Ruyan. Wan'er is the name of a little girl, the little girl in Tsing Yi six years ago in Zhao Yong's memory. Today, Zhao Yong is facing a step like smoke.
Six years have passed, and Buruyan's positioning has kept pace with the times. And Zhao Yong also made the common mistake of single dogs, and their relationship always stopped at the moment that touched them the most. Bu Ruyan asked Zhao Yong to change his name, hoping that Zhao Yong could face reality. And the reason why Zhao Yong changed his name was just that Bu Ruyan asked him to do it, not that he realized it.
Of course, this attitude is not unromantic, but romance is no longer part of life. At least, a single dog like Zhao Yong probably can't awaken the romance of Buruyan.
Although there is no romance, Bu Ruyan is professional, she smiled and said: "I sometimes think of Zhao Zhige's medical skills, which can really live and die in life." At that time, Brother Zhao, you also helped a lot. ”
Rubbing his temples, Zhao Jiaren felt very sad. 'The former Zheng Banqiao' is rarely confused. Zhao Jiaren wondered if Zheng Banqiao saw the beauty that was bound to be destroyed, and at the same time found that he was powerless to recover, so he could only make a rare and confused lament. Now Zhao Jiaren clearly saw the failure that Zhao Yong was bound to face, but he couldn't do anything about it. The most hateful thing is that this step like smoke also dragged Zhao Jiaren in very implicitly, and very implicitly expressed her intention of trying to alienate Zhao Yong.
With the innocent attitude of Zhao Yong, a single dog, he will definitely not be able to drink the flower wine. Bu Ruyan was not stumped, she bluntly invited everyone to drink. Everyone poured more than a dozen cups, and Zhao Yong, who was cleverly hanging aside like smoke, was overturned and carried to the couch at the door to rest. Zhao Jiaren felt that his cheeks were hot, and Ruyan, who was sitting opposite him, only turned from fair to pink.
Wang Yong's mood was originally very low, probably because Jue helped the Zhao family's subordinates to make him very faceless. It's just that Wang Yong couldn't refute Zhao Jiaren's face, so he had to come forward to help. Seeing that Bu Ruyan could drink it, Wang Yong was also interested. Staggered, guessed the order, Bu Ruyan drank ten glasses of wine, and Wang Yong drank more than thirty glasses. So the guy hugged a big pillow with incense, rolled to the couch next to him and snored.
In the face of this kind of professional-level wine tycoon, Zhao Jiaren said bluntly, "I drink shallowly, let's stop drinking." ”
Bu Ruyan's eyes lit up, and she smiled without drunkenness: "I heard that Zhao Zhige always rushed to the front line in Ezhou and killed countless Mongolians. After hearing these rumors, the slave family felt that Zhao Zhige was really a peerless hero. I didn't expect Zhao Zhige to be more straightforward than the rumors, and he dared to say that he drank lightly. ”
Zhao Jiaren was not provoked, two of the three people who came had already laid down, and when she drank more and lay down, she completed her work as a courtesan. And Zhao Jiaren didn't come to find the courtesan Buru Ruyan this time, but to find the Wan'er girl, so Zhao Jiaren smiled: "A shallow amount of alcohol is a shallow amount of alcohol, if you feel that you are underestimated and get drunk, it will only make you uncomfortable." I've been pampered since I was a child, and I won't do anything that makes me uncomfortable. ”
Bu Ruyan's left elbow rested on the table, his white left hand supported his pink cheek, raised his face to look at Zhao Jiaren, and asked in a soft voice: "But I don't know what to do to make Zhao Zhige not uncomfortable?" ”
Bu Ruyan is a beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and her voice is soft at this time, and her sitting posture has a kind of meaning of 'Ren Jun picks the sword'. Zhao Jiaren only felt that his heart was fluttering, and he obviously felt that he had a desire. Although the rationality in Zhao Jiaren's brain feels that this desire goes against Zhao Jiaren's original intention, the desire never comes from reason, but from the body. It's useless to have a clear mind.
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Zhao Jiaren calmed down first, and then said: "Step girl, what I really want to see this time is that Wan'er girl." Don't know if she's there? ”
With a poof, Bu Ruyan smiled. It is more beautiful to see a beauty under the lamp, let alone a beauty with a smile like a flower. There was a little sweetness in Bu Ruyan's voice, "Wan'er, sometimes she's there, sometimes she's not......" She sat up straight, her fingers lightly slicing over her pink cheeks, and she didn't stop until she reached her chest.
"You come and touch here to see if Wan'er is still there......" Bu Ruyan's voice became sweeter.
Zhao Jiaren's desire was even stronger, but it suddenly dissipated. Bu Ruyan is indeed very tempting, but Bu Ruyan is trying to use her means to manipulate Zhao Jiaren. In the face of the enemy's instinctive reaction, Zhao Jiaren suddenly wanted to attack.
Realizing that his desires were all gone, Zhao Jiaren felt very happy. It turns out that he also has the means to resist temptation. Picking up the wine glass and taking another sip, Zhao Jiaren said calmly: "Now I finally understand that Zhao Yong was wrong. He thought that what he saw six years ago was Wan'er, but in fact, he had already seen Bu Ruyan at that time. ”
After saying this, Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but give himself a big thumbs up in his heart. There is only one truth, and the moment you see the truth, you will naturally have a strong sense of joy.
Bu Ruyan was stunned at first after hearing Zhao Jiaren's words, and a smile appeared on her face again after a while, but it was just her habitual action. The professional smile of the person who eats this bowl of rice has nothing to do with their inner thoughts.
After tidying up his clothes, he sat up straight with a solemn step. Staring at Zhao Jiaren's expression, Bu Ruyan asked in a calm tone without temptation, "I don't know why Zhao Zhige came this time?" Is it really for you, Zhao Yong, who is with you? ”
Actually able to face a step like smoke who gave up his profession, Zhao Jiaren also felt that he was a little invincible, and he replied in a calm tone as much as possible: "I don't like to use personal companionship." If I am surrounded by people who ask for me, what else can I do? Even if it's Zhao Yong, we work together. In my opinion, he is also my brother. Is there anything wrong with standing up for my brother? Step girl, Zhao Yong has earned a lot of money over the years, even if he is not rich and expensive, he is not comparable to ordinary rich people. I think if Miss Bu followed Zhao Yong, she wouldn't worry about her livelihood. ”
"Because this Zhao Yong is not short of money, Zhao Zhige thinks he can come to me for trouble?" After listening to Zhao Jiaren's explanation, Bu Feiyan's voice and expression were full of mockery.
When Zhao Jiaren heard the truth, he sighed in his heart, but he was still calm when he spoke, "It's only because Zhao Yong is not short of money that I don't bother to make such a big effort." Step girl, you know how hard it is to see you. I helped Zhao Yong for only one reason, and I think it's not wrong to really love someone. ”
It could be seen that Bu Ruyan didn't expect Zhao Jiaren to answer like this, she was stunned. After being stunned for a moment, Bu Ruyan smiled bitterly. In an instant, this girl, who was about twenty-two or three, seemed to have matured several years. However, Zhao Jiaren felt that this age of thirty years old was closer to the psychological age of Bu Ruyan.
After smiling bitterly, Bu Ruyan said seriously: "Zhao Zhige, what you said is right. It's just that after I was sold to a painting boat when I was a child, my sisters told me a lot of stories. I only met this Zhao Yong a few years ago, and I don't know what kind of person he is. If he really can't forget me six years ago, as Zhao Zhige said, is he willing to marry me as he is marrying? Even if he was impulsive and married me. After a while, he will remember that I was a courtesan. How many sisters are smart and clever, but in the end they fell at this juncture and ended up. People's hearts change. ”
Zhao Jiaren was silent. Bu Feiyan is telling the truth. People's hearts change, Confucius's disciple Yan Hui died at the age of twenty-nine, and Confucius wept. Lu Guojun had never seen Confucius so sad, so he asked Yan Hui what was worthy of Confucius's attention. Confucius solemnly said that Yan Hui 'does not get angry, and does not offend'.
The reason why it is so solemn is because Confucius knew very well that people's most instinctive mentality is to 'get angry', even if they know that their choice is wrong, they will not hesitate to 'second', three, until N.
Zhao Yong is a good person in Zhao Jiaren's opinion, but Zhao Yong has not yet reached the point where he can recognize that he will be angry and will pass twice. Therefore, the future predicted by Bu Ruyan is not possible, but will definitely happen. In the face of the doomed tragedy, Zhao Jiaren no longer dared to insist on helping Zhao Yong get the 'Wan'er girl'.
In addition to Zhao Yong's low snoring, as well as Wang Yong's drunken humming and chirping, the painting boat had no other sound for the time being. After being silent for a while, Zhao Jiaren sighed: "Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable." ”
After listening to these two poems, a trace of melancholy crossed between his eyebrows. But after a while, she smiled and said, "Is this Zhao Zhige's poem?" ”
"It's just a few nonsense." Zhao Jiaren accidentally used Nalan's poem, so he could only tell it truthfully. Nalan's poems are literary in the uncultured Manchu Liquidation, but they are not displayed in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Now that we're on the boat, we've talked so much. Zhao Zhige might as well leave a Mobaobei. Bu Feiyan's face once again showed a very professional playful smile.
Zhao Jiaren doesn't want to make things go wrong, the world is unpredictable, maybe Zhao Yong will have a chance in the future. Zhao Jiaren didn't want to block all possibilities because of himself. So he laughed and said, "If you can promise me one thing, it's that you must not say that I wrote it." I'll write it to you. ”
"Okay." Bu Ruyan replied briskly, and got up to spread paper and polish ink by the bookcase.
Zhao Jiaren walked to the bookcase and picked up the pen, and wrote a little bit: If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan. Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old people's hearts are changeable. Lishan said that it was half a night away, and the tears and rain and zero bells did not complain. How is Bo Xing Jinyilang, who wishes on the same day.
The Manchus were uneducated, and their rhymes were terrible. After Zhao Jiaren finished writing, he didn't write his name, let alone a chapter.
After reading it, Bu Ruyan smiled slightly, then leaned next to Zhao Jiaren and whispered: "Zhao Zhige, I heard that you are now deeply appreciated by the official family. However, someone in the court released a word, saying that you got an official from Ding Daquan. I said it in front of Prime Minister Zuo. ”
Zhao Jiaren was stunned. Ding Daquan fell last year, and his henchmen began to be liquidated. This matter is just the beginning, and when the pressure of foreign enemies is lowered, a great purge will be set off within the Great Song Dynasty. Someone said this, did they really have a grudge against Zhao Jiaren?
However, after thinking about it, Zhao Jiaren felt that Bu Ruyan's words might not be credible. But Bu Ruyan, this sister is really professional enough. Zhao Jiaren felt that she was still worried that Zhao Jiaren's goal had not been achieved, so she was angry and did something to her. I said this probably as a gesture of goodwill.
"Thank you, Miss Step." Zhao Jiaren also expressed his gratitude. Even if it was for Zhao Yong, Zhao Jiaren didn't think about tearing his face with Bu Feiyan.
"The slave family only heard it by chance, maybe it was wrong or not." Bu Ruyan explained with a smile.
"Step girl, do me a favor. The two men drank like this, and asked for help to carry them away, and I went back with them. Zhao Jiaren frankly put forward his own requirements.
