Chapter 5 Cutting off Old Love
The fragrance of the mountain behind the temple is pleasant, and the cinnamon seeds fall into the cracks between the cobblestones, like small flowers blooming there, hardworking and stubborn.

The scent of delicate fragrance wafts out from the Zen room, as if the flowers and trees are flourishing inside.

The shadow cast by the luxuriant laurel wreath covered the steps where Lelan was sitting. She propped up her chin and watched how the flowers floated from one tree to another taller tree, thinking about how to jump over the high wall where she was. into higher walls.

At the corner below the stairs, Dai Duo walked over on white osmanthus, holding a white jade hairpin and a white jade bracelet in his hand. They were the pair of jade objects that Rotten and generously threw to the fat monk.

When he walked to the corner, it was like lifting a veil. Dai Duo was pleasantly surprised to find the long-lost girl sitting on the high steps, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

Dai Duo ran up the steps excitedly, and Lanlan quickly stood up to make way for others. She retreated to the foot of the osmanthus tree, and the osmanthus seeds fell from the tree and landed on her head.

Dai Duo looked at this girl who also treated him as a stranger.When did this woman who had her eyes full on him start not paying attention to him?
Dai Duo called her: "Lanlan."

Lanlan turned his distant gaze to the strange man who was so close in front of him, his eyes were indifferent as if he didn't recognize him.

"you know me?"

"You don't recognize me anymore?" Dai Duo was shocked, but he just sent her to the palace for the draft. Why did he feel like he had lost her, as if she had been lost for a lifetime and so unfamiliar.

"I'm senior brother!" Dai Duo squeezed the jade in his hand, eager to find the lost girl.

Brother?

Lanlan remembered it and said, "Oh, I heard my cousin mentioned it."

Dai Duo is not satisfied. He is now a stranger in the eyes of the girl who once loved him.

"Lan Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Luanlan answered honestly: "My cousin said that I fell from a tree and broke my head. I can't remember the past."

Dai Duo was so angry that the jade in his hand fell to the ground. He rushed forward like a wolf and put his rotten hand on the tree.This kind of forgotten anger is like making a wrong move and ruining the whole game, and my intestines are filled with regret.

"What are you doing?" Lanlan was so frightened by the sudden movement that he took emergency measures and kicked him under him.

At this time, Dai Duo's intestines were not green, but his face was as green as the osmanthus leaf above his head.

Dai Duo covered the sore spot, threw his knees on the ground, and knelt in front of his master like a pitiful dog with tears in his eyes.His knees hurt from the jade he had just thrown away. His eyes rolled and tears fell unconsciously. He picked up the jade that had been knocked against his knees.

Lanlan raised her feet and wanted to run away. Dai Duo grabbed her feet and tried to make a final struggle.

Tears became Dai Duo's affectionate attack weapon. He left unbearable tears and said: "Lan Lan, don't you remember our past?"

Really not impressed!
"Isn't this your favorite bracelet? You used to wear it on your hand and never take it off. You always touched it secretly when you saw me. And this hairpin was only engraved with your small words when I gave it to you. Now it's It’s already engraved with my last name.”

Wagging one's tail and begging for mercy, pitiful!
Lanlan turned her head with pity and looked at the pitiful senior brother kneeling at her feet. She was so humble!If he was not from Qing Dynasty and had hair on his head, Rotten would pet his head like the family dog.

How should the original owner's romantic debt be repaid? He could be beaten to death with a stick. You must know that if someone catches a princess having sex with a strange man in a mansion, it is an insult to the royal family and must be dealt with secretly. How he died is unknown.

Dai Duo took such a big risk to grab her thigh. Could it be that breaking up would cost him his fortune and life?

For the sake of their own wealth and lives, Lanlan can only ruthlessly shake off his dog paws and ruthlessly persuade him to quit.

Lanlan felt affectionately and thought of a very suitable poem: "Once you enter the Hou family, it is as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on." He said ruthlessly: "You are nostalgic for the past, I don't know what the past is. I It’s not that there is no memory of you in the past, it’s that I have no past. We have broken off the relationship in the past and said goodbye. When we meet again, you have to kneel and salute me like you do now, and don’t talk about the past love as deep as the sea. It’s good for me and you.”

Dai Duo knew very well how important Lan Lan's move was to his future future, and he had to impress her with his love.It doesn't matter if she forgets, just coax her like she used to be innocent and ignorant.

"What's the point of asking Yi Jun? The double beads and hairpin are made of jade. Can we just be passers-by?" Dai Duo shed tears and begged humbly like a crying little lady.

Lanlan stood still. She knew nothing about the past of the original owner and naturally had no affection for Dai Duo. Moreover, she hated people who knelt down to beg for help, because this would make sympathetic people helpless.

When Dai Duo saw Lan Lan's melancholy, he must have lost his temper. He took the opportunity to grab Lan Lan's hand and wanted to put the bracelet on her, so that the move seemed to be firmly in his hand.

Lanlan felt her hands get cold, and saw Dai Duo putting a bracelet on her hands, and an idea seemed to come to her mind.

Lanlan said: "Give me the hairpin too."

Dai Duo felt happy, it seemed that the silly and innocent girl was back again, but she was a little bit more temperamental than the gentleness before.

Dai Duo held out the hairpin like a treasure, and Lanlan reached out to take it. Dai Duo happily stood up as if he were married to a wife and said sweetly: "I'll put it on for you."

Okay, let you laugh for a while first.

"Wait for me here. I'll come as soon as I go. Don't go away." Lanlan ordered, jumping down the stairs.

Dai Duo didn't wake up until Rotten had disappeared from around the corner for a while.The happy smile that just appeared on Lanlan's lips was like a kiss on his thin lips, which fascinated him.

He was like a little girl waiting for her husband, as if she had lost her soul, standing under the tree and looking around the corner.

It wasn't until he heard a shrill cry of a bird that Roland appeared from around the corner.Dai Duo watched her carrying a small incense burner and walking hard, her head covered with sweat from exhaustion, and he hurriedly ran down to hold it.

"Lan Lan, what are you doing with this?"

Lanlan looked at Dai Duo's ignorant look, stared into his eyes, and said mysteriously: "Secret!"

For a moment, Dai Duo felt that the gentle and lovely girl had grown up and became clever and naughty. His liking for this girl increased by one centimeter.

But, why didn’t she see the hosta on her head?
Looking at Dai Duo who looked confused, Lanlan said again: "You will know when you pick it up."

Seeing a round bead of sweat hanging on his rotten forehead, Dai Duo stretched out a hand to wipe it away for her.She hurriedly ran up before her hands were higher than her rotten chin. Dai Duo put down his hands and climbed up holding the heavy incense burner with some disappointment. It was difficult to lift his feet.

This incense burner is really heavy.

Dai Duo placed the incense burner under the shade of the tree and waited expectantly for Luan Lu's secret to be revealed.

Roanlan took out a package from his arms, wrapped in a bulging dark green embroidered handkerchief. He picked up a stone and smashed it, making a crisp sound.

"Lan Lan, what are you doing?" "I want to burn some precious incense for you."

Dai Duo felt an unusually clear fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose. It was the fragrance of osmanthus.

Dai Duo knelt down and hugged Lanlan from behind, then held Lanlan's hand that was holding the stone, resting his chin on Lanlan's head and inhaling with pleasure as if he were ingesting refreshing spices.

Eat my mother's tofu!

Lanlan panicked and pushed him, causing Dai Duo to fall to the ground.Lanlan looked at him warily, as if looking at a wolf with malicious intentions.

Dai Duo asked Lanlan anxiously as if he had lost his reassuring fragrance: "Lan Lan, what's wrong with you?"

Lan Lan said: "I have said that there is no past between us." She picked up the package and said: "Do you know what this is?"

There must be an end between them!

Lanlan poured the powder from the handkerchief into the incense burner, and the aroma wafted up like clouds of smoke from the past.

Dai Duo understood that it was the powder of the jade hairpin and jade bracelet.He jumped up from the ground, watching in disbelief that the girl who loved him in the past ended the past in such a gentle and cruel way.

Dai Duo kicked the incense burner angrily, causing the ashes to fall on the steps and the white cinnamon seeds to burn red.

Lanlan said: "If you persuade me with "Thinking", I will repay you with "Thinking"."

Dai Duo's angry red face turned blue, as if he had been caught and raped in bed by his wife.But then I thought about it, how could Qian Cancan bring out the secretive matter between them when the sisterhood was the most important thing.

"From now on, you and I will be separated and we will live happily together."

Roland took a breath and ran away like a rabbit.This was the most artistic breakup she had ever dealt with.

His sweetheart ran away, and Dai Duo sat alone on the steps, looking at the ashes that would no longer burn, and the shrill bird song flew down from the osmanthus tree, poking into his ashen eyes.

Dai Duo's eyes hid the joy of their youth and ignorance.At that time, his father sent him to live with Qian Zhongshu, a famous teacher in Rehe. Lanlan was still an immature girl like grass.

Qian Zhongshu was just a poor scholar at that time. His wife passed away early, and he only had a daughter like Lan Lan, who was so precious.

Dai Duo's first impression of Qian Lanlan was a tail behind his butt, following him wherever he went. It would be an exaggeration to say that he was a stalker.

When Qian Zhongshu took her to climb a mountain on the night of the Lantern Festival when she was a child, she found the capital in the painting book from the place where the fireworks were the brightest, and secretly imagined the endless flow of cars and BMWs in the capital.

Dai Duo, a young man from the capital, is walking in the capital. The pendants, belts, and hair crowns on his body all show the nobility of the people of the capital and the prosperity of the capital.

Dai Duo was already 12 years old that year, and his body was as tall as pine, cypress, and bamboo. Qian Lanlan was only [-] years old.Therefore, she always raised her neck and blinked her eyes to ask Dai Duo whether the capital city was as prosperous as the bright fireworks.

Dai Duo originally didn't like this kind of Xinyi flower that appeared in the countryside.

But Qian Zhongshu is a talented gentleman. If he taught his daughter by himself, she will not be any worse. She is even better than the aristocratic women in the capital. Her talents make her shine like a pearl and make people unable to take their eyes away. .

Virtue and talent endow her with nobility, so Lanlan is destined to be different.

Dai Duo always felt inferior to her when comparing poems with her, and always found it difficult to get along with her when talking about music. They shared inkstones and paintings, but the paintings pale in comparison.

As for why Dai Duo always looked like a humble gentleman, apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, the teachings of Confucius and Mencius were probably the reason why he could not hold his head high in front of Qian Lanlan during this period of his youth.

The only decent thing about Dai Duo is that he comes from a noble family in the capital. Qian Lanlan has heard of the prosperity of the capital, but he grew up in the prosperity.

Qian Lanlan has read thousands of books, but those are all dead books that cannot be moved, and they have had time and years.Qian Lanlan's first love for Dai Duo was probably a living book.

On weekdays, Dai Duo always said nothing, because his ordinary words that were hard to say would be refuted by Qian Lanlan's aggressive tone.However, as soon as Lan Lan asked him about the fun and interesting things in the capital, his mouth was filled with endless water like the water of the Yellow River.

This was the only time Lan Lan talked down to him.

Qian Zhongshu told Dai Duo the story of a long stream of water.He said that there was a down-and-out talented man who lived in the Willow Alley of Fireworks. The flower girls in Willow Alley could not see the outside world.So the talented man compiled one prosperous world after another and turned them into a collection of poems.The flower girl offered a lot of money to buy the poetry collection in one fell swoop.The talented man understood the principle of slow water and long-lasting flow, so he cut the poems into sections and sold one section a day.Finally, the flower girl came to his door every day. From then on, the talented man's impoverished life began to play songs every night and be romantic every day.

In fact, what Hua Niang loves is the prosperity in poetry, not the romance.But what the scholar loves is Fengyue, and the prosperity in the poem is far away from him.

Qian Zhongshu not only taught Dai Duo how to be successful, but also taught him how to apply what he learned.Maybe it was because he was old, but he never thought that this kid would use this trick on his own daughter.

Dai Duo stipulated that he would only talk to Lan Lan for an hour every day. You must know that he had grown up in the water and soil of the capital for 18 years, so these words were just trivial.The important thing is how he caught Lan Lan, an innocent and ignorant fish.

The fisherman spends his time thinking about what kind of bait to put on the fish every day, carefully controls the weight, and enjoys the happiness when the fish takes the bait every day, and never tires of it.

The fish didn't know that it had caught a fisherman. It just wanted to go ashore and change the pond.

I don't know where the love started, but it goes deeper and deeper.Dai Duo fell in love with Lan Lan, and Lan Lan fell in love with the capital in his story.

The book says that jade moisturizes people.Dai Duo bought a jade bracelet and a jade hairpin. On the jade hairpin, he secretly carved Lan Lan's small characters and his surname.

When Lan Lan asked where it came from, he could only say that it was brought from the capital.So Lan Lan accepted it happily.

It is said in "Some Thoughts": "What's the use of asking the emperor to wear a pair of beaded tortoise shell hairpins and use a jade shading to dazzle them."

It means don’t ask me what gift to give to the girl I love, a tortoiseshell hairpin decorated with pearls and wrapped with jade.

Now, the jade is broken into ashes and blown by the wind, which really means the following.Dai Duo sat on the steps and said regretfully: "I heard that you had other intentions, so I destroyed and burned them. If you destroy and burn them, the wind will blow away their ashes!"

It means, I know you have changed your mind, so I broke this hosta, burned it and scattered it in the wind, letting our past turn into ashes and go with the wind.

Dai Duo wanted to argue that he had not changed his mind, that he had just physically cheated on her, but that was another story.

Broken in love, Dai Duo looked forward to tomorrow's eastern sunrise, hoping that the wind would not be too cold and the chirping of the morning breeze bird would not be too sad.
