“This person is like a rainbow, and you will know it when you meet someone else”, this is the highest praise given to him by netizens. Because he has all the beautiful things you have imagined.
He is Nalan Rongruo, a prince with the most beautiful name. He is one of the "Three Great Masters of Qing Ci" and is also known as "Yan Xiaoshan".
He is talented. He was promoted to an official position at a young age and wrote countless famous poems and poems that have been passed down through the ages; ;
He has good looks. His colleague Cao Yin (Cao Xueqin's grandfather) once wrote in a poem: "Recalling the past when I stayed in Wei Mingguang Palace, the people of Langjia Mountain were delicate and beautiful." (The people of Langjia Mountain are Nalan. Rong Ruo)
What's more important is that despite being extremely wealthy, talented and beautiful, he doesn't even have three wives or four concubines, and has the deep love of "one person for the rest of his life".
Nalan Rongruo can be said to be "born with a silver spoon in his mouth."
When he was born, he belonged to one of the eight most famous families in the Qing Dynasty, and he had the noble temperament of the Yehenalan family. Her father, Nalan Mingzhu, was a bachelor of Wuyingdian Palace who held great power during the Kangxi period, and her mother, Jueluo, was the daughter of Prince Ying and was named "Mrs. Yipingaoming".
Nalan Rongruo himself is also very ambitious. Although he comes from a famous family, he is not as cynical as a playboy. He does not like sensuality and romance, but he is diligent and studious, proficient in classics, calligraphy, and good at painting. Jingqiqishu...
Entered the Imperial College (the highest institution of higher education at that time) at the age of 17, passed the imperial examination at the age of 18, passed the Gongshi exam at the age of 19, and passed the Jinshi title at the age of 22... a proper "child of other people".
After winning the Jinshi, he continued to study hard and studied hard. Under the guidance of the famous teacher Xu Qianxue, he compiled a Confucian compilation - "Tongzhitang Jingjie" in just two years.
He also sorted out his knowledge and insights into four volumes of "Lushui Pavilion Miscellaneous Knowledge", covering history, geography, astronomy, calendar, Buddhism, music, literature...
"What I'm most afraid of is that people who are smarter than you will work harder than you", what I'm talking about is Nalan Rongruo. It's not enough to read books well. He is proficient in all martial arts such as riding and shooting. Appointed by Kangxi as a first-class imperial guard, he accompanied the emperor on hunting tours in the south and north, traveling all over the world...
Wen Chengwujiu, the famous man in front of the emperor, Nalan Rongruo, who was only in his early twenties, became He became the most dazzling young man in the imperial city.
But he didn't have much fun in the days of great wealth and smooth sailing. Because he had everything, he had no hope in life. What's more, as wise as him, he had long known that fame and fortune would eventually end. The truth of becoming a passing thing.
So, when the teacher Cai Qizun was dismissed and returned home, the 19-year-old said: "Ask about life and see how things will go in the country. It would be better to paint a small boat with a coir raincoat on the clear stream."
As an imperial guard, when passing through the ancient battlefield, he advised the world: "The hegemony should be rested. A leaping horse and a fierce fight will always grow old. Don't waste your time and become a prince. How many heroes only destroy the hills."
With such indifference to wealth and power, I was afraid that he would feel that life was not worth it. It wasn’t until I saw him lovingly torturing dogs that I realized:
It’s not that he doesn’t care about life. Instead, he gave all his care in life to that woman.
Many people know Nalan Rongruo because of the word "love".
According to legend, Nalan Rongruo had a childhood sweetheart cousin, and the two fell in love with each other. Unfortunately, fate played a trick, and the cousin was sent to the palace to become a concubine, and this young and ignorant first love also began. period.
The Qing Dynasty's "Notes on Renting a House" once recorded: "Nalan's family has a girl who is stunningly beautiful and has a marriage agreement. When this girl enters the palace, she becomes a stranger."
Although the rumors can no longer be verified as true or false, regardless of whether God gave him a "white moonlight" cousin, God favored him and allowed him to meet the "cinnabar mole" girl - Lu.
From then on, she was her loving one, her loving one, and her gentle one. In the last 8 years of life and death, she was the one who was in my heart and could not forget her.
That year, Lu, the daughter of the governor of Guangdong and Guangdong, received an invitation to the Qiushuixuan Singing Harmony Party. She thought it was an ordinary banquet, but she lost her mind the moment she met him.
Mo Shang was as beautiful as jade, and the young master was unparalleled in the world. With just one glance, Lu's heart was filled with him.
But she did not dare to take the initiative, so she could only stand shyly in a corner where he could not see, looking at him secretly, blushing...
In "Parents" In the Qing Dynasty, in the Qing Dynasty, Lu's marriage had to be arranged by her parents. This unrequited love should have ended without a problem. But what was unexpected was that it didn't take long for her parents to tell her that they had already arranged a marriage for her, and the other party was Nalan Rongruo, the son of the Yehenala family.
Fate is sometimes so inexplicable, and there is something destined to be inevitable in the ethereal world.
In this way, 20-year-old Nalan Rongruo married 18-year-old Lu.
The talented man and the beautiful woman are well matched, and in the eyes of the world, they are a match made in heaven. But in Nalan Rongruo's heart, there was no emotion at all in this arranged marriage, and towards Lu, he only regarded her as an insignificant person.
Obviously he is a newlywed, but he always stays in the study and reads. When he is late, he simply rests in the study. When Mr. Lu offers him food, he will not refuse, but he will not move his chopsticks either. , just left in the bowl...
He once thought that this political marriage would continue to be lukewarm, but he didn't know that long before the wedding ceremony, Mrs. Lu secretly promised her love, It was her love and sincerity that slowly melted the sense of alienation in every detail of life, making Nalan Rongruo fall in love with her.
When Nalan stayed in the study and stayed up all night, she would often wake up in the middle of the night and quietly go to the study to tuck him in and put some charcoal on the stove to prevent him from catching a cold; He didn't care that it was broken, but she saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. She stayed up late to help him embroider a magnolia flower on the tear on his sleeve, which looked as elegant and refined as him.
When he gets up in the morning, she will help him dress and button up; he likes to stand under the eaves and listen to the cold rain, so she puts a coat on him from behind; he likes to watch in the snow. In the vast world, she stood beside him and held up an oil-paper umbrella for him...
Gradually, Nalan Rongruo got used to and even relied on Lu's gentleness and careful care. I don't know when. When he got up, there was no more food left for him by Mrs. Lu.
Although this kind of care and dependence is easy to sink, it is not irreplaceable. The reason why Lu became the only love in Rongruo's heart was not only gentle and considerate, but also because of her talent and temperament, which made Rongruo fall into a trap step by step and find it difficult to extricate herself.
That day, she was playing the piano in the garden, and the sound was clear and pleasant to the ears. This time, it was Nalan who stood aside, looking at his wife with fascination, as if her voice and smile were floating in along with these notes. Into the ears, into the heart.
That time, Rong Ruo was reading in the study when it suddenly started raining heavily. He felt nervous and was a little worried about Mr. Lu, so he looked everywhere, but couldn't find it. He didn't look until he entered the backyard. to her figure.
She was holding up two umbrellas, one to cover herself and the other to cover the newly bloomed lotus flowers. At that moment, the flowers in Rongruo's heart bloomed all over.
From then on, the two wrote poems and lyrics together, played the piano and sang songs, went on outings, and even used lanterns to catch fireflies together... "When the embroidered couch is idle, red rain is blown, and the music on the carved railings is , sharing the same chair with the setting sun. ”
Isn’t this the most true portrayal of the tranquility of time? How could Nalan Rongruo not write such a happy life into his poems?
There is a short passage in "Miscellaneous Memories" about his itchy back. Mrs. Lu helped him scratch it, but when she saw the bright red nails on her white hands, she laughed at her for secretly scratching it in the middle of the night. Impatiens to dye nails.
"The back of the spring onion is itchy and can't help crawling, and I peel off the young buds with my fingers.
I remember dyeing my claw nails red and secretly pounding impatiens flowers late at night."
Nalan Rongruo was an imperial guard. Whenever they were leaving for duty in the palace or going on tour with the emperor, the two of them couldn't bear to leave, their eyes were red:
They couldn't sleep while painting the screen, and the raindrops were shattered by the wind. The orchid flames fell from the greedy talk, and half of the red quilt was idle.
If you are born with catkins floating around, even if you teach the mantra, it will not work. When I asked about my return date, I already saw that my eyelashes were full.
——"Qing Ping Le·Painting Screen without Sleep"
When the love is strong, he will also hold a painting in his hand to draw a portrait of Lu. Her every frown and smile, even Even the unhappy frown looked as beautiful as a fairy in his eyes.
Write the Luo Shen with a gentle face, but be aware that a slight smile is a deep frown. Very beautiful and pitiful spring.
Cover up the cold and provide soft barriers, hold the slender shadow and borrow the fragrance. Failed to release the fragrance unintentionally.
——"Huanxisha·Whistling Whisper and Qingrong Write about the Goddess of Luo"
At that time, sincerity was too rare, and it was common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but Nalan Rongruo "allowed She is weak, but I only take this scoop from you."
"One generation and two people in a lifetime", three meals and four seasons, you are enough. Originally, this story of a couple who only envied the mandarin ducks but not the immortals could have been going on until the two grew old. Unfortunately, God was jealous of the couple and arranged that accident...
In the third year after their marriage, Lu's The two were overjoyed to be pregnant, and were immersed in the anticipation of becoming parents together. Nalan Rongruo was even more attentive to his wife. When she was in good health, he would hold her hand and go to the countryside to relax, hoping that the gentle breeze on the grass and the wild flowers in the mountains would relieve her discomfort during pregnancy.
When I was ordered to go on an expedition, I was thinking about Mrs. Lu along the way. Was she sewing clothes for her children again today? Is the baby well-behaved in the belly? Did the kicking hurt her? At night, his longing could no longer be suppressed and surged out, making him "more heartbroken when the moon goes to the southwest."
Just like this, he waited and waited, and finally waited for the day when Lu's full moon gave birth, but he also waited The sad news came that she had died in childbirth. It was so sudden. She was only 21 years old, her sweet married life had just begun, and her child hadn't learned to walk or talk yet. Why did she leave?
No, Nalan Rongruo really can’t accept it! Every corner of the house is full of her shadow. In the bedroom, she is cutting lanterns under the candle; in the study, she is reciting poems and inscriptions; in the courtyard, she looks back and smiles, her brows soft, like a breeze... These beautiful things no longer exist .
My blue shirt is wet all over. I comfort me with Yi, and I will forget about each other. Half a month ago, I was trying to help the sick, and the sound of scissors was still heard in Yinxiao. Recall that I was born timid and had an empty room. Until now, I am alone with the shadow of pear blossoms, cold and desolate. May I point my soul to know the way, and teach me how to find my dream.
The jade hook slope road is close at hand, and it is generally tolerated, with creeping grass and the setting sun. Wake up from a long sleep, mix with clear tears, and stir in pepper paste. Afraid of the secluded spring, but also sad for me. Taoist scholars are destined to be at the end of their lives, and if they rest longer, they will be filled with resentment and sorrow. It is expected that the secret vows will be reunited, and the tender intestines will be broken.
——"Wet Green Shirt·Mourning"
In the days that followed, Nalan Rongruo lived in a daze, immersed in grief for a time, and kept drinking to fall asleep. In the dream, she renewed her marriage, but when she woke up, she became even more desperate. She could only keep writing poems to express her heartbreak.
The melancholy colorful clouds are flying, and the blue sky is falling. There are no albizia flowers in sight, and the acacia tree is empty.
It’s always time to say goodbye to the situation, and it’s time to tell the truth. They were sentenced to the longest night, and they were tired of the rain.
——"Birth Cha Zi - Melancholy Colorful Clouds Flying"
Among all the mourning poems, the most distressing one is the line "The gambling book disappears like the fragrance of tea, At that time, I just thought it was ordinary."
Who thinks that the west wind is cold alone, the rustling yellow leaves are closed, the windows are closed, and the setting sun is setting in the past.
Don’t be frightened by the wine and fall into a deep sleep. Gambling on books will make the fragrance of tea disappear. At that time, I just thought it was ordinary.
——"Huanxisha·Who cares about the west wind cooling alone"
Three years passed like this. On the anniversary of Lu's death in the third year, Nalan Rongruo wrote "Golden Thread" Qu·Feelings on the Anniversary of the Death of My Wife.
Three years have passed, and the days of losing her are like a dream. Now it’s time to wake up, but the world without her will no longer have any flavor.
When will this hatred end? The steps are empty, the rain breaks in the colder weather, and the weather is full of flowers. The soul has been dreaming for three years, and it is time to wake up from the dream. Materials are also felt, and the world is tasteless. It is not as dusty as the night platform, deserted and a place of sorrow. The promise was abandoned.
If there is a Pisces in Chongquan. I wish I could know him, who I can depend on for all my joys and sorrows over the years. I have turned sideways since the middle of the night, and I can't bear to listen to the Xiang string and pay attention to it. When we get married, we will know him for life. I am also afraid that both of them will die, and if they meet again, they will live in the wind. The tears are gone and the paper is ashes.
——"Golden Thread Song: Thoughts on the Anniversary of the Death of Wife"
In the following years, in order to continue the incense, Nalan married the Guan family and the Yan family, and also met the When it comes to his confidante Shen Wan who understands him well, no matter how good the beauty is, he doesn't want to give his affection to Lu to another person.
Just like that day, Shen Wan woke up in the middle of the night and saw Nalan standing alone in the yard, fascinated by the moon. She took a piece of clothing and put it on him. Although she understood in her heart, she still couldn't help but ask, "Who told you to be unforgettable?"
Yes, the person in Nalan Rongruo’s heart is still Lu after all.
Love is so deep that it’s hard to live long. In the 24th year of Kangxi (1685), 31-year-old Nalan Rongruo fell ill and passed away. There are unofficial records that Nalan died on the same month and day as the Lu family. Maybe it was destined by God.
"A deep love, very painful", that's fine, he no longer has to bear this kind of pain.
I have to say that Nalan Rongruo is really a handsome young man who values ??love and justice. Not only does he have an unforgettable love for his wife, but he also treats his friends no matter how high or low they are. Once they are identified, they will confide in him without any suspicion.
Just like him and his good friend Gu Zhenguan.
As we all know, Nalan Rongruo liked poetry and songs, so his father Nalan Mingzhu built a Lushui Pavilion for his son specifically for him to meet literati and chat with him.
Although these people are literati, most of them are impoverished and down-and-out scholars. They gather together to sing, shout, and abuse... As the owner of the pavilion, Nalan Rongruo has nothing to do with it. The noble man was arrogant and did not bully the weak. He just listened quietly.
The more I listen to it, the more I feel that for all living beings, it is difficult to find a close friend, and I feel depressed and it is difficult to relax. It wasn't until the fifteenth year of Kangxi that he met Gu Zhenguan at the age of 22 and fell in love with him at first sight.
The two of them would get together to talk about poetry and poetry, and found that each other's views and pursuits were exactly the same. The more they talked, the more enthusiastic they became, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.
Nalan Rongruo would not disclose his thoughts to outsiders, but he would tell Gu Zhenguan that in fact, he did not want to be a high official who had no control over his actions, but only wanted to be a wandering poet and live a free and unrestrained life. comfortable.
"Everyone has his own feelings and cannot be strong against each other. Even if he was a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty and wandered around the world, why should he learn from the East of the Han Dynasty and rise and fall like a golden horse?"
——" "Book with Gu Liangfen"
Slowly, Gu Zhenguan also expressed his thoughts. In fact, he had a good friend named Wu Zhaoqian who was exiled to Ninggu Pagoda because he was wronged. He wanted to save him but was not able to save him, so he wanted to ask Nalan Rongruo for help.
He also copied "Golden Thread Song" he wrote for his friend to Nalan Rongruo. After reading it, he was deeply moved and determined to help Gu Zhenguan fulfill his wish.
But this rescue is not easy. It took Nalan Rongruo and his father five years of hard work and a lot of money to build a relationship before they brought Wu Zhaoqian back to the Central Plains, fulfilling their promise to their good friend.
Because their identities were so different and their relationship was so close, many people were jealous and said that Gu Zhenguan was a villain clinging to power. The rumors were spreading, but Nalan Rongruo had no doubt about his friend's sincerity.
Especially after listening to "Golden Thread Song", I directly wrote the song "Golden Thread Song·Gift to Liang Fen" to tell the world: They will not be separated because of rumors, no matter how much they will have in the future. Through hardships and tests, this friendship will remain strong and last forever.
Virtue also grows wildly! Occasionally, Zichen Jingguo, Wuyi family. If there is wine, only pour it on the soil of Zhaozhou. Who would realize this? If you don't believe it, you will become a close friend. His blue eyes are not old even when he sings loudly. He wipes away his heroic tears before the Lord. Don't you see, the moon is like water.
***You must be drunk this night. Moreover, he and E Mei's ballads are taboo in ancient and modern times. Why bother asking about your life experience? Just ignore it with a sneer! Start thinking and repent from the beginning. A thousand kalpas can be experienced in one day's heart, and the fate of the body may end up in other lives. However, the promise is important, you must remember it!
——"Golden Thread Song·Gift to Liang Fen"
After hearing this, Gu Zhenguan also replied with a song of "Golden Thread Song·Reward Rong Ruo Jian Gift Ci Yuan Yun" to Nalan: "But remember, I won't regret it in the next life."
It means that it is my honor to have you as an irreplaceable friend. After this life, I must remember it in the next life, and we must be good friends. .
Now, time flies by like a white horse, and hundreds of years have passed since he left this world.
Sometimes I really hope that the theory of reincarnation is not a lie, so that he can be reincarnated to fulfill the promise of his previous life and renew the unfulfilled relationship. It's a pity that no matter how good our wishes are, we all know in our hearts: after that year, there will be no more Nalan Rongruo in the world.
