Wang Changling didn't know how he got back home. At the door of the front room, my mother called out "Ling'er". Maybe her voice was a little softer, but Wang Changling didn't hear it. As he approached the door of the study, his younger sister Luo Qun shouted "big brother" twice in a row from downstairs. Only then did Wang Changling notice that someone was calling him. Fortunately, no one paid special attention, otherwise, others might wonder what happened to Chang Ling today. In fact, there was nothing wrong with Changling. The main reason was that she was distracted. This person, no matter how smart and clever you are, once you are distracted by something, you will often take some puzzling actions, or you will not respond to other people's calls, or you will answer questions incorrectly, or you will go astray. Road.
Changling returned to his study, but had no intention of doing anything. He stared at the bronze mirror in a daze for a while, still savoring every detail of every action that took place in Miss Furong's embroidery room. From "Mr. Wang" at the beginning to "Brother Changling" later, from "Brother Changling" to the gift of "Tongxinknot". In particular, the skin-to-skin contact of Miss Furong's slender hand on his thigh, although the time was short, was enough to make Wang Changling recall it for a lifetime.
Wang Changling recalled the kiss before parting again. It was so sweet and happy. All the words in the world to express happiness could not describe the happiness she got in that moment. Wang Changling suddenly remembered the concentric knot that Miss Furong gave him, and hurriedly took out the concentric knot from his handbag. Wang Changling took the concentric knot in his hand and looked at it over and over again, as if he was holding a strange thing that he had never seen or heard of before. In fact, for young men and women in love, concentric knot is something they can often hear people talk about. For the so-called "experienced people" in this field, the concentric knot is just an old thing placed at the bottom of the box. It cannot be eaten, drank, or sold, and has no real meaning. But today, Wang Changling felt like he had found a treasure. He held it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, savoring it carefully.
The craftsmanship of the concentric knot generally does not attract much attention. What is important is its infinite connotation of love. Since ancient times, how many men and women in love have repeated the same story, using concentric knots to express infinitely rich and passionate emotions, entrusting the fiery love between men and women. How many men and women who have failed in love have finally used the concentric knots as gifts as tokens. Knot was thrown to the ground and trampled angrily as a punching bag. But all men and women in love do not think about the bad, they all think about the most ideal ending. Just like Wang Changling at this time, when the concentric knot shining with colorful light is held in his hands, the fire of love is immediately caught by it. Lit up, the increasingly fierce fire of love is almost going to make Changling hungry and thirsty. With Wang Changling's rich literary experience, many literary works and stories about concentric knots came to mind. The first thing that came to Wang Changling's mind was the "Poem of Love" written by Fan Qin, a poet of the Eastern Han Dynasty who once served as Cao Cao's chief secretary:
"I was traveling out of the east gate, and I met Cheng Qingchen. I missed you in your secluded room, and I was sleeping with my clothes and towel in my hand. At that time, there was no mulberry, and I was forced to pass by someone on the road. I flattered you, and you also liked my face. Why? Fists and fists, tied arms with double gold rings. Why is it so diligent that it refers to a pair of silver. Why is it so simple that it has two pearls in its ears. Why is it that it knocks, and the sachet is tied behind the elbow. Why is it that the contract is wide, and it wraps around the wrist and jumps out. Why is it knotted? Kindness, jade adorned with Luo Ying. Why knot in the center, plain strands connected with double needles. Why knot, thin gold painting on the head. Why comfort parting, the hairpin behind the ear. Why answer joy, plain three skirts. Why knot sorrow. Sad, white silk double middle coat.…”
Fan Qin's poems mention "knot" many times. "Kie" is a Chinese character endowed with too many beautiful colors. From ancient times to today, it has always permeated people's lives and emotions. The knot of the same heart has always been a token of emotion for the ancients. It is said that "the knot is a long-lasting love, and the fate is inextricable." There is a story in "The Origin of Poetry" that Wenzhou fell in love with his neighbor's wife Jiang, and Wenzhou gave Jiang a gift. Taking a hundred-refined crystal needle as a token, Mrs. Jiang opened the box, took out the connecting thread, put on a pair of needles, and knitted a concentric knot as a gift in return. Weave the strands of brocade ribbon into a palindrome-like concentric knot and give it to the other person. The endless longing and thousands of emotions are also contained in it.
Compared with other tokens, the concentric knot has an implicit depth because it incorporates the lover's ingenuity. Wang Changling also recalled Su Xiaoxiao, a famous prostitute in Qiantang during the Six Dynasties, in "Su Xiaoxiao's Song": "I ride on an oil-walled chariot, and my husband rides on a green horse. Where can we unite together? Under the pines and cypresses of Xiling." A famous poet of this dynasty had a poem "Love Knot": "My heart is full of hearts, and my love is deep. Once I want to say goodbye, I tie my clothes thousands of times. When I marry a concubine, I only keep my will, and when I marry you, I will return early. I don't know how to tie my clothes, but I don't know how to tie my heart. Sitting in knots is also okay. Knot, knot for hundreds of years." The "knot-hearted" here expresses the determination to never change your heart in love. The wife of Sun Zuozhuan, another poet of this dynasty, wrote a poem called "Reply", in which she made a concentric knot for her husband who was guarding the border, and used the concentric knot to express the pain of lovesickness and separation: "The soldier guarded the border water last year, and he wrote while writing at night. The paper is full. Use the knife to cut the red silk, and the knot will be made with the same heart and answer thousands of miles away. You will send me a few letters on the side, and the concubine will tell you that the same heart will tie itself. No matter how hard the heart is, the heart will never be separated, and the sorrow of seeing the word "li" will disappear. The knot is formed. Clothes and tears seal the book, and the book is only sealed in the sleeves. There is nothing better than the old words in the book that are hard to endure. I hope to learn and share the same heart for a long time." "Knot, heart knot, complex, a complex that is inextricably linked, a complex that can never be untangled. ..." Wang Changling repeated these words over and over again.
Wang Changling thought of this, put the concentric knot close to his lips, kissed gently, kissed gently...
At this time, in another place, another person was thinking the same thing as Wang Changling. Ever since Miss Furong watched her brother Changling disappear from her sight, Miss Furong had been in a daze in her embroidery room. Miss Furong felt a little regretful, why didn't she also leave a kiss on his face? Why don't you dare to throw yourself on his chest and let him hug you? Why don't you think of a way to let him stay for a while and then let him go? …
Miss Furong savored Brother Changling's kiss on her cheek over and over again. If Miss Furong's first skin-to-skin contact with a mature man in her life was when she patted Brother Changling's thigh, then when Brother Changling took her slender hand and put a gold ring on her, it was this kind of skin-to-skin contact. The relationship developed further, and the last kiss from Brother Chang Ling on her cheek pushed this skin-to-skin kiss to its climax. Miss Furong reached out and touched the place where Brother Chang Ling kissed, as if there were still kiss marks left by Brother Chang Ling. Miss Fleur wanted to leave that hickey. When Miss Furong touched the hickey, she suddenly felt something, the ring that Brother Chang Ling wore on the middle finger of her right hand. Miss Furong's attention immediately shifted to the ring. "This is the ancestral gold ring of the Wang family. It is extremely precious." Brother Chang Ling's words lingered in his ears. Miss Fleur put her lips towards the ring.
Strange, why do men and women in love always like to communicate their feelings through their lips? I'm afraid there is something extremely subtle at work here. Miss Furong also thought of many customs and stories about rings for love. Since the ring is an engagement item, people in ancient times did not wear it before getting engaged. Ding Liuniang of the Sui Dynasty wrote in her "Shi Suo Shi", "If you want to show your slender hands, you can use Lang Suo's ring." This may explain the unspeakable feelings of ancient women towards rings. This token is the smallest, but it holds the heaviest weight in a woman’s heart. Full of love, he reaches out his hand and asks his beloved to wear it for him, and then wears it happily for a lifetime, forever.
Liu Jingshu's "Yiyuan" of the Southern Dynasties records that Qin Shu, a native of Pei County, married a woman in a tomb. When parting, the woman cried and said, "I have spent one night with you today, but I'm afraid I won't have a chance to meet each other in the future." I gave him a pair of rings, straightened his clothes, and sent them out. Amorous ghosts also know how to use rings to express love. There is another story, which seems to be an affair story. It tells the story of scholar Li Zhangwu and a wife named Wang from Huazhou. When they were leaving, the wife named Wang gave Li Zhangwu a white jade ring and wrote a poem: "Twist the ring, I miss you." Seeing each other brings back memories again. May you play with each other forever, and the cycle has no end." Although it was an affair, the lovesickness was also touching.
Miss Furong came back to her senses from all the thoughts, carefully examined the ring that entrusted Brother Chang Ling's infinite feelings, then wrapped it in a square of brocade silk and put it into the exquisite little box. She couldn't bear to wear it on her hand. Miss Furong suddenly thought again, this ring cannot be placed in the box, it must be taken with it. Promise rings have always been worn on the finger. So Miss Furong opened the box, took out the ring and put it on again.
Ever since Wang Changling and Miss Furong met in Xiulou, both of them seemed to have fallen into the torment of passionate love. Writers used a very vivid word: love network. Love is a net that covers you tightly. This kind of torture of falling in love is very special. It is both happy and painful; it is sweet and...how should I say it? Since that day, Wang Changling couldn't sleep well, and Miss Furong couldn't sleep either. A pair of lovers, two rooms, two people of different genders, dreaming the same dream. Once you close your eyes, your beloved will be standing in front of you with a smile; when you wake up and reach out to touch her, you are no longer around. "One day without seeing you is like three years apart." This idiom can be explained fluently by primary school students: "One day without seeing you is as long as three years have passed." But primary school students cannot understand its meaning. Only men and women who have fallen in love can truly appreciate its full connotation. Because their strong feeling of missing each other at that time is the most vivid and clear explanation of this idiom.
"lovesickness"? It's not a disease, but the strong longing is really like a disease. When it's severe, it can reach the point where you can't think about food and drink, feel in a trance, and can be described as emaciated, as if you are really sick. Fortunately, both Wang Changling and Miss Furong are well-educated people who can adjust their mentality on their own, and others can't see anything wrong. Both Wang Changling and Miss Furong were waiting hard for an opportunity to come. Both of them have made thousands of preparations. Once this opportunity arises, they must firmly seize it...
