When Ning Qing called, Sneer Xiaotian was telling Princess Binglian the story of Lu You and Tang Wan: Lu You and Tang Wan belonged to childhood sweethearts, a pair of beautiful people who had no guesses, and the two were also cousins. They have known each other since childhood, played together, read and read together, played chess together, and in the fourteenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1144 AD, 20-year-old Lu You and his cousin Tang Wan got married. After marriage, Lu You and Tang Wan got along with each other, the piano was very harmonious, the ears and temples were grinding, and the relationship was very good. But a few years later, something happened that neither of them expected: Lu You's mother hated this daughter-in-law Tang Wan more and more. In the end, he forced Lu You to divorce Tang Wan and marry Wang. Tang Wan was later forced by her father to marry Zhao Shicheng, another talented son in the same county. But she never forgot Lu You in her heart, and finally died with hatred in her depression and anger, leaving Lu You with a lifetime of guilt and pain.

Many of Lu You's poems that have been circulated in the world are because of nostalgia for Tang Wan or when he sang peace with her, which is not only sincere, but also poignant and moving. For example, the famous "Hairpin Phoenix" is a sad work when the two of them met Tang Wan in Shen Yuan a few years after they divorced......

Princess Binglian read this poem, but she didn't know that there was such a poignant and moving love story behind this poem, and she couldn't help but think of her first love Chen Bing, her eyes were immediately filled with tears, and she said to Sneer Xiaotian: "Can you recite this poem to me again?" I only remember the first few sentences. ”

Seeing her suddenly crying, Sneer knew that she must have remembered her dead first love, and regretted that she shouldn't have told her such a sad story. Seeing that she proposed to memorize this poem herself, she recited it in a low voice: "Red crisp hands, yellow silk wine." The city is full of spring palace walls and willows; the east wind is evil, the joy is thin, a sorrow, a few years away, wrong, wrong, wrong! Spring is as old as ever, and people are empty and thin. The peach blossoms are falling, the idle pond pavilion, although the mountain league is here, the brocade book is difficult to trust, Mo, Mo, Mo!"

After reciting, Sneer Xiaotian added: "After Tang Wan's death, Lu You has always been unforgettable to her, and at the age of 71, he revisited Shen Yuan, relying on the places he traveled with Tang Wan when he was young, and wrote two mourning poems that have been passed down through the ages like "Hairpin Phoenix", which are collectively known as "Shen Yuan's Two Uniques" by later generations. At this time, it has been forty years since Tang Wan's death, but the feelings he expressed in the poem show that he has not forgotten his wife for a moment in the long time of forty years. ”

Princess Binglian likes to hear such stories the most because she has had a similar experience, and when she saw that Sengxiaotian paused when she said this, she urged: "What are the two poems?

Sneering Tian took a sip of tea and slowly recited: "The first song is like this: the sun on the city paints a corner of mourning, and Shen Yuan is not a restored pond. The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and they were once shocked. The second song is: Dream broken incense has been sold for forty years, and Shen Yuanliu Lao does not blow cotton. This body is a mountain and soil, and there is still a trace of it. Every time I read these two poems, I feel very moved: what a deep affection must it be for a woman who has been dead for forty years, and yet another old man is still deeply mourning her, and how sad and helpless must it be when they were separated?"

Princess Binglian meditated on the artistic conception of these two poems and the sadness and helplessness contained in them, and the tears on her face were even more turbulent......

When Ning Qing called, Princess Binglian had not yet recovered from the tragic love between Lu You and Tang Wan, and when she heard Sneer Xiaotian ask her if she could invite Ning Qing over to play, she was obviously stunned for a moment, glanced at Sneer Xiaotian a little suspiciously, and asked, "Why did Miss Ning Qing suddenly remember to come to see you? What is your relationship with her?"

Originally, Princess Binglian liked and admired Ning Qing very much. But since she saw her and Sneer Xiaotian singing intimately on stage at the charity gala that day, and later asked Sneer Xiaotian to send her home, especially after listening to Mei Lian's analysis of the possible special relationship between her and Sneer Xiaotian in the car, a woman's instinct and intuition made her wary of Ning Qing. She now has an attachment to Sneer Xiaotian that she is not fully aware of, so she pays special attention to Sneer Xiaotian's interaction with the opposite sex. At this moment, when I heard that Ning Qing offered to come over to see Seng Xiaotian, I subconsciously became vigilant in my heart.

Seeing that she asked him bluntly what his relationship was with Ning Qing, Sneer Tian avoided her forced gaze a little embarrassed, and replied: "She and I met at that charity gala, but we cooperated more tacitly when singing on the same stage, and because I had a good relationship with Mr. Jin, she was more curious about me and wanted to know more about me." If you don't welcome her over to play, I immediately called her back. After all, this is your private villa, and you still have to get your consent to visit, right?"

Princess Binglian looked at him suspiciously, and then said for a long time, "You let her come over, I'll invite her to lunch." ”

Half an hour later, Ning Qing drove her Porsche sports car to the villa.

Princess Binglian usually never greets guests at the door of the villa, and even when the consul of their country in Hong Kong comes to visit her secretly, she only greets her at the door of the living room. But for Ning Qing, she showed special respect, and went to the gate of the villa to greet her in person with Sneer Xiaotian.

As she walked inside, Princess Ice Lotus walked side by side with Sneer Xiaotian, intentionally or unintentionally, and were very close. Moreover, I don't know what she had in mind, she took Ning Qing straight into the study where she and Sneng Xiaotian practiced calligraphy and told Lu You's story about Tang Wan just now.

Sneering looked at Ning Qing a few times, and saw that after she took off her sunglasses, her face was a little haggard, and there was a circle of black lines near her eyes, it was estimated that it was because Jin Zhiqiang's death made her sad and guilty, so she was so haggard.

After Ning Qing entered the study, he looked at the layout and style of the study, glanced back at Princess Binglian, and exclaimed: "Miss Mei, I heard Mr. Li say that you are not from Huaxia, but judging from the layout of your study, the style is elegant, the bookish atmosphere is very strong, and there is a deep Chinese cultural heritage. Yes, that's good!"

Princess Binglian smiled slightly, picked up a banner that she had asked Sneer to write just now when she was waiting for Ning Qing and handed it to her, but her eyes glanced at Sneer Xiaotian with a smile, and said in a somewhat shy tone: "This is what Mr. Li just wrote to me, Miss Ning Qing, please take a look, is his handwriting good?"

Ning Qing saw that her cheeks were flushed and her expression was shy, and she was shocked: Could it be that this girl has a natural affection for sneering again? Looking at her appearance, it is clear that she is a young girl with a spring who is showing off the strengths of her intended person to others......

Ning Qing barely controlled her sadness, and looked at the banner, but it was the classic sentences in Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hatred": "Parting and resending the words diligently, there are oaths in the words." On the seventh day of the seventh month, when no one whispered in the middle of the night. In heaven I wish to be a winged bird, and on earth I wish to be a branch. The days are long and sometimes endless, and this hatred lasts forever. ”

Princess Binglian had been secretly observing Ning Qing's face, and saw that although she seemed to be seriously appreciating Sneer's calligraphy, there was a faint sadness in her expression, and she couldn't help but be more suspicious, and suddenly said to Ning Qing: "Miss Ning Qing, I heard Li Ying say that you not only have a beautiful singing voice and outstanding acting skills, but also have a deep foundation in Chinese literature, and your handwriting is also very good, can you please write me a banner?"

Unconsciously, Princess Binglian changed the title of "Mr. Li" in her mouth to the more intimate "Li Ying".

Ning Qing didn't know that she was testing her, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll practice calligraphy! Mr. Li is a master in this, as long as he doesn't laugh at me." ”

As he spoke, he wrote a poem with a stroke of his pen: "The dusk is unloaded, and the west wind outside the window is cold and transparent." Listening to the sound of bananas, a drizzle of rain falls, where to sit with people, looking through the autumn water, not returning home, tears like numbness. ”

Princess Binglian had never seen this ancient poem, so she turned her head and asked Sneer: "You are a great talent, give me the answer: where did this poem come from? Who is the author? Why have I never seen it?"

Sneer smiled and said, "You definitely won't know this." This poem is from Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", I don't remember which story in which volume, but because when I saw this poem, I felt that it was easy to understand and the artistic conception was good, so I memorized it at the time. It describes a resentful woman in the boudoir who misses her husband who travels far away, and there should be two sentences after it, which seems to be like this: I miss him again, I hate him again, and I play ghosts with red-sleeved shoes in my hand! Miss Ning, isn't that so?"

Because Ning Qing often sits alone at home and misses Sneering Day, she once occasionally flipped through "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and saw this poem full of endless thoughts and miserable feelings, which touched the softest and most heart-wrenching feeling in her heart, so she silently wrote it down. She thought that no one should pay attention to or recite this poem, but she didn't expect that Sneer Xiaotian had memorized it to such an extent, and she couldn't help but be surprised and admired.

Seeing the look of admiration in Ning Qing's eyes, Princess Binglian was very proud in her heart, so she forgot to investigate why she wrote this poem full of longing and sadness, and said to Sneer Xiaotian with a smile: "It seems that you are indeed a little learned, as if there is no problem in the knowledge of Chinese literature that can stump you." Well, from now on, I won't go to school at all, and you will be my private school teacher at home?"

As he spoke, he giggled.

Ning Qing waited for her to laugh, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Li Ying is indeed a talented and rich man, if Miss Mei can ask him to be a teacher, you can master the essence of Chinese culture within a year." ”

Then, while Princess Binglian was looking at the banner she had just written, she suddenly stuffed a small note into Sneer's hand.

Sneer Xiaotian took the opportunity to go to the toilet, opened the strip and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "Director Gu and Su Xiaodan have gone to Hong Kong to shoot on location, and they have asked me to have dinner tomorrow!"
