Chapter 8 Where is there no sound of rain in the autumn window?

Yuan Zhen was 28 years old and an official at the Jiqing Road [present-day Nanjing] government. His wife had just passed away, and due to physical needs, after coming to Chengdu, he wanted to experience the nightlife of Sichuan, so he asked his subordinates to inquire about where to go.

With an identity like him, he should go to the Qinglou, but most of the Qinglou are geisha who sell their art but not their bodies. His subordinates said to him: I heard that a woman with both color and art has come to Tanhua Alley recently, and she has not yet received customers, would you like to go there to see?

Yuan Zhen smiled and acquiesced.

In the evening, Yuan Zhen came to Tanhua Alley.

The Pink Lady retires to make the old,

The wanderer is not poor.

Originally, Yu Rong wanted to wait a few days to pick up customers, but the old bustard Liniang told her: "If a woman wants to be a pink beauty, she has to be young, otherwise she won't be able to eat this bowl of rice when she is old. Men want to go to this kind of place, but the children of the poor can't come to this kind of place, which needs to be supported by money. Yuan Gongzi has both literacy and wealth, as well as status, and he is still young, don't you miss the opportunity, you have to take advantage of it! ”

Yu Rong had no choice but to obey Liniang's arrangement.

The night is clear.

The sky street is like water, and the wind is slightly cold.

Tryst recouple,

Only when you sit and look at each other for a long time are you happy, and you are surprised when you want to sigh.

Wake up drunk.

Reflecting the carving and repairing bamboo, a total of several fireflies.

Whisper lightly.

Listen to the silver platform and hang wax.

On early summer nights, a bright moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the hazy night as if it were day; The watery moonlight sprinkled the alleys, making the whole street brighter; A gentle breeze blew and lifted the curtain in front of the door.

Yu Rong took Yuan Zhen and sat at the table in the living room. Not long after, the old bustard sent Xiao Si to bring wine and food.

Yuan Zhen picked up the wine, but his eyes stared at Yu Rong for a long time. His heart was surprised and delighted, sighed and hurt. I thought: Is this a dream, or is I already drunk? Yuan Zhenhu was hesitant, and in front of him, he seemed to see the lover of his dreams, and he couldn't help but feel true feelings for Yu Rong.

After they were full of wine and food, they came to the small courtyard to cool off. Yu Rong snuggled up to Yuan Zhen's side, and her love words were light and long.

The hazy moonlight sprinkled on the carved embroidery room beside him; The breeze is blowing, and the green bamboo is gently rattling. On this beautiful night, a few "flowing fireflies" flew close to them from time to time.

The candlelight was still shining, and it seemed to be eavesdropping excitedly on their sweet words; It seems to blame them for lingering for too long. In the past, she had long since extinguished the candlelight and fell asleep.

At this time, Yu Rong is so charming and gorgeous, beautiful and tender. She is gentle and understanding, and her heart is transparent and agile, and getting along with her makes people feel quiet and serene. Moreover, Yu Rong knows some poetry, and now that she meets the talented Yuan Zhen, she immediately becomes a talented woman.

Yu Rong herself also felt an unprecedented shock and passion, and deep in her heart told herself that this man seemed to be her dream when she was a girl!

The former husband was a businessman who didn't know how to write, and he couldn't appreciate her. Her husband was doing business outside every day, and he let her stay alone in the empty room every night.

At that time, girls did not have the right to choose men, they were: "The words of the matchmaker of their parents." Now in this kind of place, she has her own idea of choosing a man......

[3] "Sauvignon Blanc (high-profile)". word

Since the first acquaintance of Yilai,

It is a pity to be enchanting and glamorous, beautiful and tender.

Peach Creek Reincarnation,

Luan is in the air, and a wish must come true.

gossamer,

Let them be frivolous and haunt each other.

But the chain is incomprehensible,

The flowing water is long in the east, and it is difficult to bear the deep alliance.

[ιΈΎluΓ‘nι–‹]

For several nights in a row, Yuan Zhen went to Yu Rong.

Yu Rong's mature charm and talent attracted Yuan Zhen's desire bit by bit. The two really hit it off at first sight, and they hated to see each other late, and the two often wrote poems together, which was so comfortable.

Yu Rong came to the brothel because her family was ruined, and Yuan Zhen was the first man he received, so she had the intention of supporting herself, and wanted to leave the place where this was not a place for people to stay as soon as possible.

She pretended to write a poem "Pond Shuangjiao": "On the amphibious green pond, fly back together in the morning and twilight; The busier will tend to the sun, between the concentric lotus leaves. "This poem is that Yu Rong wants to test Yuan Zhen and want to fly with him to see what Yuan Zhen thinks?

Yuan Zhen looked at Yu Rong's immortal posture, thinking that he had arrived at the Taoyuan Wonderland, and it seemed that he was driving Mingluan and flying up to Jiuxiao Palace in the air. How much he hoped that Yu Rong could get rid of the dust and the two of them get married, it seemed that this wish would be successful.

In addition to being delighted, Yuan Zhente made a poem for Yu Rong: "Talent and color are proud when they meet, and it is especially good to meet in love; The peony moved into the fairy capital, and since then there have been no good flowers in eastern Sichuan. ”

Talented and beautiful, her heart is surging; The wish is the same, and the family matters are private.

During this period of time, Yuan Zhen and Yu Rong are like a pair of fairy couples, going out in pairs and entering in pairs, which is very enviable. However, this lingering emotion had to be separated because Yuan Zhen wanted to leave Chengdu and return to Jinling.

Although the two made a private agreement for life, Yu Rong knew in her heart that she was not married to Ming Media, so there was no reason to follow him back to Jinling.

Yu Rong thought of her current background, and estimated that if she said goodbye to Yuan Zhen this time, it might be no fun, so Yu Rong took the initiative to break up at the farewell banquet, saying: "You are a famous family, I am a prostitute, and I am a cheap couple, and it is not a good marriage." There is no late stage. [The meaning of this sentence is: We are not a good match!] This separation, don't meet again in the future, you forget about me! This is a tentative word, in fact, what woman would be so high-spirited? ]

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and hurriedly said, "I won't forget Miss Zhao!" ”

Zhao Yurong was waiting for this sentence, so she increased the law code and said: "I have been pregnant with the breath of the king for several months, and you should miss it." [The meaning of this sentence is: I am pregnant with your child, and you don't think about me, but you have to think about your child!] ]

When Yuan Zhen heard this, he was surprised and delighted: he had been married to his ex-wife for several years and had no heirs. The ex-wife took medicine every day to replenish the fetus until she could eat herself to the west. He immediately told Yu Rong that as soon as he returned home, he would mention the matter to his parents, and when he saw his grandson, his parents would agree to take Yu Rong into the house, and he then encouraged Yu Rong and said: "Let those frivolous sons and brothers chase and entangle!" [The implication is: You live here first, although you are in the dust, you can't refuse to entertain them, but you have your own heart, I believe in you.] But deep down, she still doesn't want Yu Rong to receive other men. ]

In order to make Yu Rong believe him, Yuan Zhen swore again: "I wish the love between the two of us will never be dissolved, like a river flowing eastward, and Taoxi [referring to Qinglou] will eventually come true."

[4] "Generation Farewell. Autumn Window Wind and Rain - Shang Rong Cao Xueqin. poem

Autumn flowers are bleak and autumn grass yellow,

Geng Geng's autumn lights and autumn nights are long;

I have felt that the autumn window is endless,

It was a storm that fueled desolation;

How fast to help the autumn wind and rain,

Break the autumn window and dream green;

I can't bear to sleep in autumn,

Move the tear candle to the autumn screen;

The tears and candles are shaking and shaking,

Sorrow and hatred move away from love.

The autumn wind is blowing, the flowers and plants have withered, and the faint lights make the autumn nights seem longer. The autumn colors outside the window already make people feel endlessly cool, how can they endure the autumn wind and rain to make autumn even more bleak.

The wind and rain came too quickly, shattering the lover's good dreams. Yu Rong was pregnant with autumn sentimentality, which made her unable to sleep. She came to the table, moving the weeping candlelight towards the screen. The flickering candle flame lit the candlestick with a short handle, stirring up feelings of grief and parting.

[5] "Generation Farewell. Autumn Window Wind and Rain - Xia Rong Cao Xueqin. poem

Whose autumn courtyard has no wind to enter,

Where there is no sound of rain in the autumn window.

Luo Ji is not the autumn wind,

The sound of residual leakage urged the autumn rain to be urgent.

Pulse after night,

In front of the lamp, it seems to be accompanied by weeping.

The cold smoke courtyard turned depressed,

When the bamboo is thin, the window is dripping.

I don't know when the wind and rain will stop,

Tears have been taught to sprinkle the window screen wet.

Whose courtyard is not invaded by the autumn wind? Where is there no rain on autumn doors and windows? Yu Rong could only comfort herself and heal alone. The silk quilt could not withstand the cold of the autumn wind, and the sound of the autumn night was coming to an end, urging a more urgent rain. The autumn rain continued all night! It's like crying with someone who is about to leave! In sorrow!

The cold courtyard, shrouded in rain and fog, looked even more desolate. On the sparse bamboo leaves in front of the window, water droplets are dripping constantly.

The rain doesn't know when it will stop; Tears had wet the closed doors and windows.

In this way, Yu Rong hugged Yuan Zhen tightly for a whole night.

The sky was still hazy, and Yuan Zhen got up.

Yu Rong reluctantly sent Yuan Lang away, leaving behind sadness.

Before leaving, Yu Rong wrote a poem and stuffed it into Yuan Zhen's hand: "The Minjiang River in Shu is two misty, and the warm river and the geese fly on their backs; The parting in the world is full of crying, not to mention I don't know when I will return. ”

[6] "Empty Knot Concentric Grass" Xue Tao. poem

The wind flower is getting old, and the best time is still slim;

Don't tie the same heart, empty knot the same heart.

Yu Rong was worried that Yuan Zhen's parents would not agree to this family business. As she expected, not long after returning home, before Yuan Zhen mentioned this matter, his parents booked him a girl from an official eunuch family surnamed Sun. Yuan Zhen didn't dare to mention the appointment with Yu Rong, and Cheng Tian was sad about this matter, and he was sad if he didn't agree.

In the end, under Yuan Zhen's combination of soft and hard, the two old men had to put aside the matter of the Sun family girl for the time being, but no matter what Yuan Zhen said, his parents did not allow him to marry the geisha back to his hometown.

Yu Rong looked forward to Yuan Zhen coming to pick her up every day, but half a year had passed, and she didn't see Yuan Zhen's face. Yu Rong vaguely felt that it seemed that it was more difficult to see Yuan Zhen's face again than to ascend to the sky.

The relationship between the two can only be maintained by letters. When the moon is short and the moon is full, Yu Rong still can't help but go upstairs and look into the distance, pinning a nostalgic sorrow and comforting her sad heart.

Yu Rong went up to the tall building alone, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, like all wives who looked forward to the return of their husbands, every time she was disappointed, she could only hide her sadness.

[7] "Sauvignon Blanc" Feng Yansi. Words: Wang Di. song

Red branches, green branches.

Suyu is tired of sleeping late,

The shadow of the idle garden flower shifts.

Recall the return period, count the return period.

Although I dreamed of many and rare things,

When we met, we knew when we met.
