He also thought that Tan Yaoxian was talking drunkenly.
Tan Yaoxian, who was already supporting his head with one arm, laughed at himself, drunkenly, and slowly muttered: "The dead leaves are just expressing love..."
When he told the truth vaguely, Lu Shengzhong was speechless. He realized that this couple in love was really powerful, even more powerful than him, Lu Shengzhong. The governor's mansion, which was difficult to break through, was actually breached by this couple.
The garden of the Governor's Mansion was connected to running water from the outside, so no one could enter, but the leaves could drift in with the current. The man and woman actually tattooed characters on the leaves and let them float in and out to communicate with each other, in order to alleviate the pain of missing each other.
The two of them made an appointment to banish the leaves. They were afraid that one leaf would be wrong and they would have to banish a few more leaves. How much motivation would it take to do such a patient thing?
During the appointed time, Tan Yaoxian will put the prepared leaves into the water upstream, and Shao Liuer will wait for the leaves to float in the garden during the appointed time. Then, Shao Liuer will release the thorns at the appointed time.
During the appointed time, Tan Yaoxian went to the lower reaches of Shaofu to collect the leaves.
The two kept in contact like this, and Tan Yaoxian also learned from this that the dissolution of the poetry club was related to Shao Pingbo, and that Shao Liuer was being guarded by Shao Pingbo and would not let him out.
Tan Yaoxian originally wanted to show off with Shao Pingbo and marry Shao Liuer based on the young man's bravery.
Unexpectedly, the realities that followed directly knocked him down. First, the library where he taught fired him.
So I went to other places to find a book teacher. He was quite famous in Beizhou City. Otherwise, a poor scholar with no money and no background would not be qualified to join Shao Liuer's poetry club, so it was relatively easy to find a job. However, the problem was, just looking for a job
After only a day or two on the job, his employer immediately found an excuse to fire him.
It would be fine if they were part of a family, and this happened one after another. Later, when he was forced to change his career to something else, this was also the case most of the time.
Gradually, unable to find anything to do, his source of livelihood was cut off, and he was forced to live under pressure, so he began to pawn things at home to make a living, and he could barely survive until now.
He was not too stupid and realized that it might be related to the Shao family.
Although the Shao family didn't say it explicitly, it was equivalent to saying that they did not agree to his being with Shao Liu'er.
The meaning is obvious, you can't even support yourself, why should you marry Shao Liu'er?
The fact is, even basic life is a problem, how can you go to Shao Pingbo for a showdown? People have poked at your weaknesses and reminded you, do you still need to go to people to tell them in person? The family backgrounds of the two parties are too different.
The poorer you are, the more you will think about this. What kind of standard is Shao Liuer's daily food? Even if the Shao family doesn't force themselves, can they afford it?
I felt sad in my heart, and was finally beaten down by the reality. I gave up the idea, and now I am thinking about how to live on.
He also knew that he could not last long in this situation in Beizhou City. He had almost pawned all the things at home that should be pawned. If he wanted to survive, the day to leave Beizhou City was not far away.
He was also ready. After he had nothing to sell, he sold the house left by his parents before his death, collected a sum of money for travel expenses, and left for a foreign country full of desolation. That unrealistic scene
It’s time to wake up from your sweet dream!
Speaking of this, Tan Yaoxian shed tears and fell asleep on the table, but he still uttered one or two words like a dream, "Liu'er...Liu'er..."
Tan Yaoxian eats very elegantly, which goes well with his fair and bookish look.
There were some things that I wanted to say after he finished eating. Seeing the way he was eating slowly and carefully, not knowing when he would finish eating, Lu Shengzhong had no choice but to be rude and said: "Withered leaves are showing affection, Brother Tan is very elegant."
.”
Tan Yaoxian raised his head and stared at him nervously, asking: "Brother Li, what do you mean by this?"
Lu Shengzhong smiled and said: "Brother Tan, you drank too much last night and said some heart-to-heart remarks. I already know about you and Shao Liu'er."
Tan Yaoxian's expression changed drastically, he stood up suddenly, his eyes were a little flustered, and he was extremely upset in his heart, blaming himself for being drunk and causing trouble!
Lu Shengzhong pressed his hand and motioned for him to sit down, "Brother Tan confides in me and I won't go out and talk nonsense, so there is no need to be nervous."
Tan Yaoxian pursed his lips tightly, clenched the chopsticks in his hands, and sat down slowly with his head lowered.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his butt touched the bench, he heard Lu Shengzhong say calmly: "Forgive me for saying something inappropriate. I really look down on people like Brother Tan. He is a scholar in vain and is a villain!"
"Uh..." Tan Yaoxian looked up in shock.
Lu Shengzhong added, "This woman dares to confess her love to you, but what about you? It's because of you, Brother Tan, that I have been harmed like this. Losing my freedom and being unable to go out are all trivial matters. I am a lady of our family, and you and I
She had a secret meeting with another man, how would her future husband's family view her? You can imagine the punishment her family will give her, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married in the future.
You know how much you have been wronged, and people are afraid of worrying you, but have you ever complained to you?"
Tan Yaoxian suddenly stood up again, his chest heaving, his mood obviously a little excited, and his face looked painful and self-blame.
Lu Shengzhong also stood up, "And what about you, Brother Tan? You know that Miss Shao is suffering for you, but you don't know how to solve the problem, and you don't know how to fight for it. You will only shrink back and look forward and backward, for the sake of your own pity.
This woman suffered in silence with her little self-esteem, and even wanted to walk away, leaving all the bitter consequences to be borne by Miss Shao! Brother Tan, are you still a man? What are you if you are not a villain? You are ruthless and selfish.
Self-interested villain, the book has been read into the dog's belly!" He pointed at the other person's nose and scolded him.
Tan Yaoxian was so ashamed that he couldn't bear the scolding. He lowered his head in pain and said, "I am not worthy of her!"
Lu Shengzhong immediately asked: "Why do you provoke others when you know you are not worthy of them? What kind of evil intentions do you have? If you were upright and selfless, you should have sternly refused and cut off the relationship early, so that you would not have to ruin someone's reputation.
There is no need to let people suffer this. Do you dare to say that you didn't have any wrong thoughts about Miss Shao at that time? If you provoke me and then say you are not worthy, what is the difference between you and those despicable people who always give up?"
Tan Yaoxian closed his eyes, with two lines of hot tears streaming down his face. He raised his head and sighed: "Brother Li, please stop talking. It was me who harmed her. It's all my fault. I will bear all the blame for her death!"
"Alas!" Lu Shengzhong sighed, walked around the table, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder, "Brother Tan, your words may have been a bit harsh. Logically speaking, it's not my turn as an outsider to say such harsh things, but Tan
Since brother was able to confide in me last night, how could I let Brother Tan continue to be confused! Brother Tan, you might as well think about it, what virtues and abilities are you? Are you powerful or rich? Since Miss Shao can fall in love with you
, how can he be the kind of vulgar person who cares about things outside of himself?"
