Tang Wuyan was a very stubborn person.
This was because his father, Tang Aotian, had never pulled his only son out of the pile of books.
Tang Wuyan was a person who was very good at entertaining himself.
This was because he was born and raised in the Tangmen, but his style was different.
Therefore, after Tang Wule and An Zeyi finished their usual bickering, the first thing they saw was Tang Wuyan, who was very good at entertaining himself, sitting on a chair and quietly reading An Zeyi's manuscripts. He had a sad expression on his face as tears streamed down his face.
Tang Wu-le and Hajime Anze were speechless.
Hajime Anze: "Is your brother okay?" ← _ ←
Tang Wu-le: "Did Tang Wuyan become stupid from reading too much? Needless to say, it must be your fault. "→ _ →
Hajime Anze: "Nonsense!" ← _ ←
Tang Wu-le: "Haha, did you write a sadistic novel with a sad ending again?" → _ →
Hajime Anze: "Erm, no way." Guilty face
Tang Wu-le: "Haha, I'll be a fool if I believe you." → _ →
"And then?" Tang Wuyan raised his head with tears in his eyes and looked at Hajime Anze. He saw Hajime Anze and Tang Wu-le "exchanging glances" with each other. His brain was still in a daze from crying, so he asked, "Sister-in-law, and then? What's the next chapter? "
"What sister-in-law? Who's your sister-in-law? "
"What the f * ck are you talking about? Tang Wuyan, what nonsense are you talking about?! "
Tang Wu-le and Hajime Anze were stunned at first, then they spoke at the same time.
Tang Wuyan: "You two really look like husband and wife when you speak at the same time."
"Which one are you reading?" Hajime Anze leaned over. Oh, it was "Flower Withering Mistake".
Perhaps it was because this was a fictitious version of the Tang Dynasty, or the real Tang Dynasty, but there were many types of novels with many scholars and beautiful women.
However, it was also because of this that Painted Hall of Spring, who specialized in writing tragic and sadistic novels, became extremely popular after getting tired of seeing rich young ladies and poor young men in front of flowers under the moonlight and had enough of seeing princesses and their prince consort.
In Tang Wule's study room, An Zeyi found a novel that Tang Wule had bought out of curiosity when he was young when he was flipping through a book. An Zeyi felt extremely disgusted when he read the story of how a famous prostitute in a brothel provided for the scholar to study and how she was willing to be one of the flowers and grass in the scholar's backyard after he became successful and famous.
. disgusting.
It was true.
He was born in a warm family. His parents loved him very much and loved him, their only child. It could be said that Hajime Anze grew up in love. In such a family environment, he did not grow up to be a rich second generation, nor was he selfish and willful like many only children. On the contrary, he grew up to be a person with a strong sense of responsibility, respect, and care for women. This also caused Hajime Anze to be loved by many young and middle-aged women since he was young. He was a friend of all women.
Therefore, he could not stand this kind of literature that objectified and belittled women, and even showed discrimination and utilitarianism between the lines.
Which man in the world did not crawl out of a woman's stomach? But after crawling out, he despised women.
Therefore, Hajime Anze, who was originally writing "Nestling Cry", stopped writing and started writing the short story in Tang Wuyan's hands, "Flower Withering Mistake".
"Flower Withering Mistake".
The most beautiful courtesan of the brothel in the capital, Yunyan, committed suicide.
She was truly a devastatingly beautiful woman. Men who had seen her were filled with emotions after hearing the news of her death. What was even more incredible was that many women who had seen her also sighed for her. They said that with Yunyan's beauty, even women would feel pity for her.
That's right.
In the first chapter, Hajime Anze described Yunyan's beauty to the extreme. It was as if in the next moment, that woman, who was as light as the clouds in the sky, as ethereal as smoke, and who lingered in people's hearts, would walk out of the paper leisurely, bringing with her a fragrant wind. She would walk in front of you and let you catch a glimpse of the woman's face, like a flower in the water, like a willow wind.
Demure like a beautiful flower in the water, her movements like a willow branch swaying in the wind. The east wind curls in the light, the fragrant mist lingers in the moonlit corridor.
In short, she was indescribably beautiful.
In the second chapter, Hajime Anze set up a scholar who was infatuated with Yunyan's fame and talent but had never seen her. He only came to the Misty Rain House (the brothel where Yunyan lived) to find out the mystery of Yunyan's suicide. He met Yunyan's maid, Yan Wei.
In the third chapter, the scholar learned about Yunyan's life from Yan Wei's mouth.
Yunyan, whose real name was Qin Youlian, was originally a young lady from an official's family. She had been well-educated and beautiful since she was a child. Because of the decline of her family and the death of her parents, she had no choice but to live in her uncle's family.
Then, the nightmare of her life began.
First, she fell in love with the wrong man. Her cousin, who was gentle and affectionate, had too many beautiful maids and confidantes. Then, when her uncle's family was raided, Miss Qin was sold to the Misty Rain House by her snake-like aunt. Her cousin, who she missed dearly, was so cowardly that he didn't dare to say a word.
She ended up in a brothel. Because she was born slim and delicate, she was taken care of by the maids in the brothel. Then, at the age of 15, she hung her flower name.
Her flower name, Yunyan, had already foreshadowed her future. She was as fragile as Yunyan and would disappear as soon as she saw it.
When she became Yunyan, she said goodbye to the past.
Then, not long after hanging her flower name, Yunyan started the second and third relationships in her life. But each time, it didn't end well.
Hajime Anze wrote that a person's relationship was like a glass of strong wine. The investment of a relationship was equivalent to sharing half of the wine in the glass. Then, how much would be left in the end?
The last relationship was between Yunyan and a poor scholar. She fell in love with him and used her savings to support his studies. She hoped that the person she loved was a good man and that he would come to save her when he became successful.
But in the end, what did she get?
The successful scholar claimed that the fox demon was the one who provided him with the books to study. Miss Yun Yan, on the other hand, did not exist at all.
Thus, Yunyan, who was in despair, chose to commit suicide.
At this point, he stopped abruptly.
"Why is it like this again?" When he heard Tang Wuyan finish reading, Tang Wu-le wished he could strangle Hajime Anze, this guy with the face of a fairy but the heart of a woman, to death. "Are you not a good judge of character and can't see the full moon after being dumped by someone?"
Not a good judge of character and can't see the full moon.
The usual faint smile on Hajime Anze's face disappeared.
If Tang Wu-le was the same as usual, Hajime Anze wouldn't say anything. But what he said reminded him of the scar in his heart.
If he hadn't been a bad judge of character and got together with Yuan Xu, if he hadn't been aware of Yuan Xu's character, he wouldn't have gone through all that, wouldn't have been killed, wouldn't have been reborn in the Tang Dynasty, and wouldn't have been unable to see his parents again.
"Yes, I deserve it."
"What?" Tang Wu-le, who was used to waiting for Hajime Anze to retort, was stunned by Hajime Anze's reaction.
"Didn't you ask me if I'm not a good judge of character and can't see the full moon after being dumped by someone? I said that you're right. I'm not a good judge of character and can't see the full moon after being dumped by someone." Hajime Anze knew that this matter had nothing to do with Tang Wu-le, but it didn't stop him from being in a bad mood. "I can't see the full moon, so I like to write abusive novels. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Tang Wu-le opened his mouth. He, he, he, he was just casually retorting out of habit. With Hajime Anze's looks and temperament, who wouldn't want to hold him in the palm of their hand or even make him their exclusive property?
Yes, Tang Wu-le admitted. Although he always felt that Hajime Anze was weird and pretentious, he also admitted that out of all the beauties he had seen, few could compare to Hajime Anze, regardless of whether they were men or women.
Either that person's standards were too high and didn't like Hajime Anze.
Or that person was blind and missed out on Hajime Anze.
Hajime Anze didn't know what Tang Wu-le was thinking. He only noticed Tang Wu-le's silence and the awkward expression on Tang Wuyan's face as he hugged his book. Naturally, he changed the topic.
"Mr. An," Tang Wuyan hugged the book and looked at him eagerly, "Yunyan died. What happened next?"
"Of course, the scholar lamented and published a conclusion. The story ended." What else could he do? Did he want a bicycle?
"What, what conclusion?"
"Lamenting her misfortune and angry at her incompetence." Hajime Anze tapped his book, "Actually, I don't like Yunyan very much. If she didn't have a brain full of romance and knew a little about the law, she should have known that as a guest, the government has no right to touch the Qin family's wealth. Isn't it her fault that she didn't know how to protect herself? "
"Secondly, when even her closest cousin couldn't protect her, shouldn't she have realized that relying on others and relying on others' pity won't last long? Instead of living like a dodder flower, it's better to rely on her own efforts to grow into a towering tree."
"Therefore, Yunyan's life was a mistake. Her life was destined to wither before the flower withered."
"This is the origin of the name 'Flower Withering Cuo'."
Tang Wuyan fell silent.
When he was reading this novel, all he thought about was Yun Yan's misfortune. He thought about how Yun Yan met a bad man and met a jerk. He never thought about Yun Yan's own problems.
"Actually, I didn't want to write this at first. I wanted to write about Qin Youlian, the daughter of Old Master Qin's deceased wife. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was envied by her stepsister. Therefore, under the influence of her stepmother and stepsister, she fell in love with a scholar who only knew how to flirt and run away with him before the blind date. In the end, she was sold to a brothel by the poor scholar."
Tang Wuyan: What the f * ck! Katō Haru, is it really okay for you to torture Yunyan like this?
Tang Wu-le: I shouldn't have underestimated Hajime Anze. This is f * cking crazy!
"This kind of opening will make the girls more vigilant against those playboys. They won't be stupid. However, "An Zeyi tilted his head." I suddenly remembered that if Eldest Miss Qin really eloped and left, then the Qin family's reputation would be questioned. In that case, not to mention whether her stepsister would be able to marry into a good family, all the girls in the Qin clan, regardless of whether they were married or not, would be questioned. Their marriages would be broken off, and they might even die to prove their innocence. Therefore, for the sake of her own daughter, her stepmother wouldn't let Eldest Miss Qin elope. "
"If Eldest Miss Qin failed to elope, with her stepmother's calculations, her father would be greatly disappointed in her. There would only be two endings. One, she would marry a mediocre man, and the other, she would 'die of illness'."
"But the latter is more likely to happen." Hajime Anze recalled the strict clan system in China's history and the oppression of women by Cheng Zhu. He lowered his eyelids and said softly.
"So, I had to change it to what you see now."
He lamented her unfortunate life, was angry at her incompetent fate, and was saddened by her blind eyes.
It was as if he was angry at the person he used to be.
