After the academy's winter vacation, Lin Jue's life was more leisurely. In addition to studying, shopping, watching movies, and occasionally visiting Fang Dunru in the academy, Lin Jue spent a lot of time inquiring about famous doctors in the southeast and south of the Yangtze River.
A method to cure Fang Huanqiu's illness was found, but the results were limited.
Lin Jue knew that he couldn't be anxious about these things. After all, Fang Huanqiu's disease was a difficult and terminal disease diagnosed by famous doctors. Over the years, the Fang family had consulted many famous doctors. If there was a cure so easily, how could it be possible?
Have you been helpless for so many years?
However, since there is no bad news about Fang Huanqiu from Fang Dunru, there is still time to find it. Lin Jue will never give up hope. No matter what, he cannot give up even if there is a glimmer of hope. This is why Lin Jue
The vows I once made.
One day after entering the twelfth lunar month, when Lin Jue went to the academy to visit Fang Dunru, Fang Dunru told Lin Jue that he was going to the capital to reunite with his wife and Fang Huanqiu, and would not come back until the next year. Lin Jue bought a lot of them.
He packed up supplements and clothes and chartered a awning boat to send Fang Dunru to the capital.
Lin Jue actually wanted to go with him, but it was obviously unrealistic and Fang Dunru would not agree. In desperation, Lin Jue had no choice but to write a letter for Fang Dunru to take to Fang Huanqiu. Fang Dunru
He sighed but accepted the letter. After earnestly warning Lin Jue to study hard, Fang Dunru boarded the boat to the capital. Lin Jue went all the way to Beiguan Pier and watched the boat disappear in the distance of the canal.
Then I looked back full of loneliness.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the streets are even busier. Commercial transactions should have reached their peak at this time of the year, because the New Year of the Zhou Dynasty is the most important festival of the year. The so-called 'rich but not rich celebrate the New Year in luxury'
', such folk sayings also reflect the psychology of the people.
Green Dance is as busy as moving ants every day, moving things home again and again and never gets tired of it. The Lin family's shop is also very busy. The boat shop, rice grain shop, cloth shop, etc. are all doing brisk business, and people are waiting for them.
They were all very busy. The only person who was free was probably Lin Jue. Apart from studying, Lin Jue took Lin Hu to wander the streets. He visited every corner of Hangzhou.
During this period, Lin Jue was invited by the little princess Guo Caiwei to visit the palace several times. At first, the contact between the two was a little reserved, but soon Lin Jue discovered that this little princess was not simple. He originally thought that this little princess was a pampered person.
As a noble daughter of the royal family, I was worried that she would be easily offended because of her arrogant temper. However, in fact, Guo Caiwei's character was very sensible, knowledgeable, and generous. Looking at a girl who is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she speaks in an orderly manner and never uses power to overwhelm others.
.This is completely different from his father and brother.
And what surprised Lin Jue even more was that it was not surprising that the little princess had read poetry and books since she was a child. After all, the princess of the royal palace was not the daughter of an ordinary family. But what was surprising was that the little princess often had a different view of things.
This surprised Lin Jue. The conversation between her and Lin Jue was by no means limited to daily trivial matters. Instead, it included anecdotes about astronomy, geography, and history, each with unique insights. Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh.
These days, there are very few books for women to read. It is not surprising that the princess of the royal family has been reading since she was a child, but most of them are books such as poems, books, and classics of filial piety. However, it is obvious that Guo Caiwei does not read this kind of books. He and Lin Jue
The topics between them are more related to history and politics, which can be called an alternative.
Lin Jue was puzzled. This Prince Liang probably did not encourage his daughter to read the History and Guan Jing. This was most likely due to Guo Caiwei's own interests. It was just that Prince Liang's family tradition was loose and he was laissez-faire.
Because Lin Jue had a life journey that was incomparable to others, he had a lot of things to talk about in his heart, and most of them were incomprehensible to people in the world, or they were things that were beyond the times. But in the discussion with Lin Jue, the little princess did not
He did not fall behind. On the contrary, some insights inspired Lin Jue deeply. It has been a long time since Lin Jue met someone who could talk to him this way.
In fact, there are many people with opinions around Lin Jue, such as Fang Dunru, Xue Manzi and others, but they are teachers, and when they speak, he can only agree but cannot refute. If his opinions are different from theirs, he will be criticized by them.
On the contrary, it is not an effective communication. But the conversation with the little princess is different. When the two of them occasionally argue, they will each present evidence to convince the other, and finally reach an agreement.
This kind of communication is an extremely happy thing for Lin Jue, because he has so many secrets hidden in his heart. Lin Jue always seems cautious when communicating with others. He is afraid that he will reveal something beyond this.
Due to the secrets of the times, people would question him as a madman. He has many secrets in his belly, but he can’t tell them. It is a very bad experience for people’s psychology. Sometimes Lin Jue even thinks that he may suffer from depression.
It was very uncomfortable to hold it in.
However, when facing Guo Caiwei, Lin Jue could even reveal some things that would make people criticize him as a lunatic. Guo Caiwei would never make a fuss, but surprisingly agreed after Lin Jue explained a little. This made Lin Jue
I feel very satisfied.
For example, when talking about political systems, Lin Jue inadvertently mentioned several forms of political systems in later generations. Among them was a republic without an emperor. I thought Guo Caiwei would be shocked, but Guo Caiwei found it very novel. After figuring out this kind of government,
After that, he and Lin Jue discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the political system.
For example, when talking about the stars in the sky, Lin Jue accidentally said that the earth is round and is a tiny speck of dust in the vast universe. Guo Caiwei was shocked at first, and then asked what the basis was. Lin Jue told her on the spot
I made a model and demonstrated the changes of the sun, moon and stars, and the formation of solar and lunar eclipses. I took out stones and threw them into the air to demonstrate what gravity is, etc. In the end, although Guo Caiwei found it incredible, she agreed with it greatly.
These phenomena that Lin Jue mentioned. If Lin Jue said this in front of others, he would be immediately dismissed as a lunatic, but from Guo Caiwei, he got a completely different feedback.
It's like a smart person talking to a group of idiots, and he feels extremely lonely because he can't communicate normally. Suddenly someone responds and gives feedback and recognition. This feeling is tantamount to finding a soulmate.
This is probably what Zhong Ziqi felt when he met Boya.
The attraction of this little princess is far more than that. The little princess has a wide range of interests and is interested in everything. Especially when Lin Jue was invited to go there again, the little princess proposed to perform a piece of The West Chamber for Lin Jue. Lin Jue
I was shocked at that time.
As expected, the little princess performed a aria from "Farewell at the Long Pavilion" that Cui Yingying used to say goodbye to Zhang Sheng when he went to the capital to take the exam.
"I hate that we meet each other too late, and I hate that we return so quickly. The willow silk is so long that it is hard to tie it to the jade cage, and I hate that the beautiful sparse forest catches the slanting light. The horse walks swiftly, and the car follows quickly, but I miss you and avoid it, which is wrong.
My son left early again. When he heard the saying "Go away", he loosened his golden bracelet. Looking at the ten-mile long pavilion in the distance, he lost his jade muscles: Who knows this hatred?"
This part was actually sung so vividly, with extremely exquisite eyes, body, and techniques that Lin Jue was dumbfounded. After Lin Jue asked, the little princess proudly told Lin Jue that after her request to learn to sing was rejected that day, she ran there on her own.
After watching five or six performances of The West Chamber, I forced myself to learn several of the arias, just to prove to Lin Jue that even if he rejected my request, I could still learn it.
Lin Jue smiled bitterly, and at the same time he was greatly admired. This little princess really has quite a personality, and is definitely not an ordinary woman. When talking about history, anecdotes, astronomy and geography, she is like a knowledgeable female doctor, but sometimes she is naughty, cute and charming.
Pretty and charming, like a seductive ghost.
Lin Jue could clearly feel that the relationship between the two was quickly getting closer, and their attraction to each other was rapidly increasing. He even had the idea of seeing and talking to the little princess after not seeing her for a few days.
, and Lin Jue also felt the spark of excitement in the eyes of the little princess. This made Lin Jue panic and blame himself.
Beautiful women each have their own beauty, which is why the saying "Mei, orchids, chrysanthemums and bamboos are good at winning. Sometimes it's not that men are too carefree, but that these different beauties have fatal temptations for men. Lin Jue admitted
, he was a little obsessed with this little princess. But he warned himself not to let this feeling develop.
The reasons are of course complicated. The first one is the promise to Fang Huanqiu. Lin Jue promised Fang Huanqiu to marry her. Even if Fang Huanqiu is unknown now, Lin Jue can never give up on his promise. Lin Jue does not want to be the unlucky person.
Otherwise, this would be a threshold that would be difficult for Lin Jue to overcome.
The second is the identity of the little princess. Although Lin Jue does not feel that he is inferior to others in his heart, the reality is reality. There is absolutely no possibility of a union between him, a concubine of the Lin family, and the little princess of the prince's palace. This may lead to death.
What's more, Lin Jue never wanted to get involved with the Prince's Mansion. Lin Jue had long made up his mind to stay away from Prince Liang's Mansion.
In view of this, Lin Jue believed that he could not continue like this, and he wanted to completely cut off the possibility of things getting out of control. Therefore, before the New Year, several invitations from the young princess were declined by Lin Jue, and he decided not to
Go see the little princess again, so as not to fall into it and be unable to extricate yourself.
This kind of decision is painful, and of course it is not the pain of love. Lin Jue's feelings for the little princess have not yet reached that point. It is more the pain of losing a close friend who can speak freely and tell many secrets that cannot be said.
It was like finding someone of the same kind in the wilderness, able to walk with him, no longer alone. But in the blink of an eye, he lost his trace again, and walked silently with a group of strange people who could not communicate with each other. What I felt in my heart
The frustration is indescribable.
The little princess seemed to feel Lin Jue's rejection. After sending people several times and being rejected, the little princess stopped sending people to invite Lin Jue to come over to talk. This not only made Lin Jue feel relieved, but also brought a touch of melancholy.
But Lin Jue soon tried his best to break away from this emotion and slowly diluted it. The interaction with Guo Caiwei for more than a month was like a beautiful dream, and Lin Jue was deeply attracted by it.
It's deeply rooted in my heart, and I can only reflect on it occasionally when no one is around.
