? Because I haven't seen Clivia in her bedroom and the fragrant bamboo in front of the window, nor have I seen the banana in her small yard and the green radish crawling all over the attic. So that when I first studied her, I couldn't figure out why this woman named her boudoir "Quanlvxuan".

Even her poetry collection is simply named "All Green Xuan Collection".

It was not until one day that the cross of "holding the green hills and looking green everywhere" suddenly appeared in my mind that I realized what a poetic name "All Green Xuan" is!

? It's not a fairy tale, but I like the smell of green fields, which makes people think deeply. It seems that you can see the "all green porch" in the faint part of the castle peak. There is a quiet and refined girl sitting by the window with a book in her hand.

? Now, the "All Green Pavilion" is long gone, and I am still reminiscing about Xiao Xuan's former mistress alone. Her name is Ding Yu, a talented woman who lived in Zhejiang during the Kangxi period more than 360 years ago.

Let's talk about the stormy early Qing Dynasty.

one

December 18th, the second year of Shunzhi (1645), was a snowy day.

At that time, the pain of national subjugation was still spreading in the hearts of many Ming adherents. Whether it is appropriate or not, on this day, a baby girl quietly came to Ding's home in Changxing County.

This baby girl who came to earth from Yaotai against the falling snow is Ding Yu.

According to Changxing County Records, his father's name is Ding Zi, and he is the son of Ding Jianshi. Ding is not only amiable at ordinary times, but also a famous dutiful son. He has a characteristic, that is, he likes to help others generously, especially to his fellow villagers.

Although Ding studies hard, it's a pity that he often tries and makes mistakes. So he either entertains himself with piano books at home behind closed doors all day, or goes to find friends to drink to relieve boredom.

On this day, I went to a friend's house in a neighboring village to drink. Just as he lamented his failure to become famous in this life, a fellow countryman panted and said to him, "Xiao Bo, great joy, great joy!" " "

Ding Yuan Xian turned his head and inexplicably asked, "You see, I am worried to death all day. I don't know where the joy comes from? "

"This is really a great event. Your wife just gave birth to a daughter. " Seeing that the fellow villagers solemnly said this, Ding felt secretly pleased and had a long-lost smile on his face.

I saw him put down his chopsticks, bid farewell to his friends, crossed his legs and went out.

Ding walked all the way through the snow and couldn't wait to walk ten steps to get home. You know, Ding is 52 years old this year. You can imagine his joy as an old woman.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Ding quickly took off his bamboo hat, patted off the snow and hurried to the bed. He looked at his wife Deng happily, pointed to the baby beside him and said eagerly, "Come on, give me a hug."

? "Be gentle." Pick up the baby to remind Ding.

Ding carefully took the baby, looked at her sleeping daughter and said to herself happily, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!" "

Deng looked at him puzzled.

? Ding said with a smile, "On the way home, I have chosen a name for my daughter." Seeing that his wife was still puzzled, he explained.

? The word "jade" means "beautiful jade". I have heard of Zhou Yu in Zhou Lang during the Three Kingdoms period. He is also the word "Yu". "

"Oh?" Deng asked again, "What does the girl have to say?"

"Where is the child who was born with a message?" Ding glanced at his wife.

Deng suddenly sighed, "you know, I have always been in poor health. If one day I die, wouldn't it be a pity that I don't even know my daughter's handwriting? Besides, you are knowledgeable, so it's easy to say one word. Just prepare your daughter psychologically in advance. What are the disadvantages? "

"What alas? Stop talking nonsense. " Ding's expression is very serious, and his tone seems a little heavy.

Deng was very unhappy and turned around.

Ding hurriedly coaxed and said, "Well, don't be angry. Isn't it just a sentence? I want to take it to my niece. " Hearing this, the Deng family turned around with a smile through tears.

Ding put the baby in front of his wife and said with a smile, "Look carefully, this girl is as gentle as me and as quiet as you. When she grows up, she will be a well-read and polite woman. Take the word' Jingxian'. "

"Jing Xian-"Deng's mouth gently called and nodded with satisfaction.

Two?

Ding Yu was smart since he was a child and loved by his parents. Ding, especially as a father, regards her as a treasure. Watching her daughter grow up day by day, Ding has long forgotten her frustration and pain in the imperial examinations for many years.

However, no matter how the daughter is the baby and heart of parents, its cultural education is essential. When she was four years old, Ding taught her to know more than one thousand words. By the time Ding Yu is six years old, she will have learned hundreds of Tang poems by heart. Ding taught her to play the piano when she was seven years old.

Time flies when you go to Qiu Lai in spring.

In this way, under the care of parents and the influence of literature, Ding Yu gradually grew into a graceful girl. The girl Ding Yu lives a carefree life. She has a beautiful poem, which reads:

Wood, stone, wind and flowers are surrounded by neighbors, and the lonely gate lane has long been deserted.

Swallows used to be heavy today, and I believe that friendship is unique.

When writing this song "Home", Ding Yu was only thirteen or fourteen years old.

Although she seldom contacts with people on weekdays, she never feels lonely and bored. Because what is lonely is the deep alley in front of the house, and what is boring is the yellow dog barking from time to time in the alley. As written in the poem, she happily becomes neighbors with wood, stone, wind and flowers in nature every day, and happily becomes bosom friends with Laoyan under the eaves.

In All Green Xuan, she reads, writes, recites poems and plays the piano every day. Sometimes, my mother also teaches her female virtues and needlework. She is quiet and refined, and her body and mind change quietly with the seasons. She is looking forward to a better life, silently waiting for her to sit in a sedan chair with a red hijab one day, and marry out of a deep alley familiar at home with the sound of drum music.

Ding Yu's betrothed family is a fellow villager's Zang family, and her fiance's name is Zang Meixi. Because Zangjia and Ding Jiazu are in-laws, the two families have always been in contact. Zangmei Xizi Jiezi, named Xie Ting, is the eldest son of a collector and the author of Xie Tingji. This man is loyal to filial piety and is a talented young man, so he is deeply loved by his father Ding.

Later, when Zang Meixi visited Guqintai during his tenure as a magistrate in Lushan, Henan Province, he also wrote a poem, "One day's mountain tune, a thousand years of friends mourn", which was widely circulated for a while.

There is such an anecdote about Zang Meixi.

When Zang Meixi was ten years old, some friends were playing in the village one day. A bearded Taoist happened to pass by here and met Zang Meixi. He suddenly stopped and looked at him and said, "Oh, no, you are too naive and extraordinary!" " "Young Zang Meixi was surprised to hear this. Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest sighed and said, "Although you have a great god, it's a pity that your life is doomed to be out of touch with gold, only with mountains and rivers. "I don't have a chance with Pink, but I can have sex with friends."

After that, the Taoist priest drifted away.

The words of the mysterious Taoist priest were later verified by Zang Meixi. I won't talk about the rest, but his long speech of "bad luck in red" is really prophetic. Because Ding Yu died young at the age of 30, doesn't that mean Zang Meixi and Pink have no chance?

three

In a blink of an eye, in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi (1660), sixteen-year-old Ding Yu married Zang Meixi. When proposing marriage, Zang Meixi's parents took out one third of all the property of Zang's family.

On the second day of their wedding, the couple planned to get up early. According to the old rules, as a bride, she has to get up early the next day and go to the lobby to meet her in-laws. )

Ding Yuxian got up and finished grooming, and suddenly said to Zang Meixi, "Husband, I have something to discuss with you."

"What do you want to discuss with me? It is the wife who is in charge. "

Zang Meixi was dressing and casually replied.

Ding Yu asked, "there is one thing I don't understand. Why don't your brothers share as much as your property? " You are the flesh and blood of Zang family. How can it be so unfair? "

"This, this. . . . . . "

Zang Meixi was stunned by Ding Yu's two questions in a row, and suddenly she was speechless.

Ding Yu went on to say, "Didn't you just say let me make my own decision? Well, I'll tell my in-laws later that you and I can't take more of Zang's property and give us a share. " Hearing Ding Yu's words, Zang Meixi looked very surprised. He didn't know that his new wife had the mind and knowledge of a gentleman. Think about it, too. If this matter were put on another woman, she would never make such a decision.

? After a while, Ding Yu met her in-laws. In front of her parents, she resolutely burned the evidence that she and her husband owned more property together. As soon as the news came out, people in the neighboring villages gave thumbs up and praised Ding as a woman who really understood the righteousness.

? One month after marriage, Ding Yu suggested Zang Meixi go to the study hall near the ancient lake to study. Zang Meixi listened to his wife's suggestion and went to the school library to study. Later, because the school library closed, she dropped out of school.

In the days when husband and wife were separated, Ding Yu wrote some poems in memory of Zang Meixi, such as this song "Sauvignon Blanc". Yi Wei's words:

Listen to the clock and count the cold. Outside the window, the banana falls out, and the dream is ruthless.

Thin and thin, and the jade hairpin is horizontal. Seeing that Hong Xin's words have not been finished, it is necessary to stay awake.

One cold winter night, she woke up from her sleep. At this time, she found that it was already even outside the window. She sat alone in front of the case, listening to the faint bell from the distant temple, and then listening to the sound of rain hitting bananas in the yard.

So, why on earth can't she sleep when she wakes up? In the ci, she didn't tell us directly, but solved the reader's doubts with the words "Hong Xin's ci is unfinished". It turned out that she wanted to write him a letter from home because she missed her husband. However, she didn't know what to write for a while, which made her delay in writing.

Ding Yu's poem is beautiful and profound, and the phrase "Banana falls to the light" is skillfully used as a metaphor. The rain outside the window and the tears of the new couple in the room tell the pain of the separation of husband and wife. In fact, the most interesting thing is the last sentence "Don't stay awake." It means that people can't sleep and write letters, not because they were drunk last night.

In order to make her husband a more knowledgeable person, Ding Yu sold some gold and silver jewelry when she got married as a financial aid to her husband.

In the second year of Kangxi (1663), the couple came to Jiuxi Eighteen Creeks in West Lake, Hangzhou. Here, Zang Meixi also met Mao Jike, a famous scholar, and forged a lifelong friendship with him.

In the evening, the smoke fans the ancient crossing, and the wind and fog lock the autumn peak.

Fallen leaves, pavilions, streams and bamboo paths.

A Qing Wu Hao's Collection of Poems of Hangjun County Records records: "Jing Xian has lived on the lake for a long time, with sunny and rainy days and beautiful writing." The creation time and background of this five-character poem "Nine Days in a Cold West" should be the Double Ninth Festival in the third year of Kangxi (1664). At that time, Ding Yu accompanied her husband to visit Xiling in the West Lake.

The ancient ferry is filled with smoke-like water vapor. The mountain peaks in the distance are covered by layers of white fog. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, the two whispered something. Perhaps, in * * *, I sigh the unfortunate life and love of a famous prostitute Su Xiaoxiao.

Although the scenery is beautiful, it is getting late. He walked out of the pavilion hand in hand with her. She rested her head on his shoulder and they walked leisurely. Four feet stepped on the ground covered with maple leaves and made a "rustling" sound.

They walked along the swaying path of bamboo leaves, and there was a shallow stream on the roadside, which kept flowing forward. . . . . .

Ding Yu is good at combining far and near scenery skillfully, creating many images such as sunset smoke, ancient crossing, wind and fog, autumn peak, fallen leaves, pavilions, streams, bamboo trails, etc., which are complex but not chaotic, giving people a beautiful visual impact.

The concise language and neat antithesis in the poem have become a vivid landscape picture in the autumn sunset.

However, Zang Meixi didn't even know that his wife could write poetry at this time.

? Until one morning in the fifth year of Kangxi (1666), Ding Yu woke up and said to her husband, "I dreamed that I wrote a five-character poem in my dream last night. Unfortunately, after waking up, I only remember two sentences: "The interests are reborn and the people suffer, and the wealth is too deep. Zang Meixi was shocked and asked, "I heard that you used to write poems in the boudoir. Can you really write poetry? " Ding Yu smiled and said, "As a wife, I was taught by Yan Jun since I was a child. Why can't I understand the four tones? " Say that finish, I took out a roll of "All Green Xuan Poetry" and a roll of "Green Window Poetry" from the box to show Zang Meixi.

Zang Meixi was amazed while leafing through his wife's works. From then on, he respected Ding Yu more in his heart.

In the sixth year of Kangxi (1667), Zang Meixi went to Beijing to study for the exam, and Ding Yu accompanied her husband to Beijing.

During her stay in Beijing, Ding Yu also wrote some words to express her deep thoughts about her parents and hometown. For example, "Recent Love". On board: "A thousand surging waves are not worth half the sorrow. Catkin crazy warbler doesn't care, but pecks peach blossoms through the forest. " Tansha. Homesick: "I'm alone, I'm getting old." Is that as weak as a dusty road? " Ding Yu's homesickness poems were especially appreciated by Xu Shumin, editor of All Fragrant Words. He commented on Ding Yu's words as: "Wash away the state of continuing the frontier and get rid of the degree of advanced planning."

Soon, Zang Meixi was admitted to Jinshi. Although Ding Yu is happy for her husband, she also shares the joy with him. However, Ding is Ding Yu, and she is destined to be a different woman.

Because Zang Meixi is honest at ordinary times, Ding Yu is worried that her husband will get into trouble in the dark officialdom in the future, so she secretly has a secluded heart.

She advised Zang Meixi: "My husband will be an official just around the corner. I'm afraid it will take a long time to be appointed by the court. In my opinion, it is better to take advantage of this leisure time to bring my mother-in-law, and then the whole family will move to Xiangshan and choose a remote and clean place to live. There, my husband only cares about closing the door, writing and reading, being a wife, taking care of her husband and children, spinning and cooking, and taking care of the daily life of the family. Is this good? "

Unexpectedly, Zang Meixi immediately waved his head and refused to say, "How can that be done?" Mother is too old to move. Besides, where the mountains are high and the forests are dense, snakes and insects will haunt from time to time. When Ding Yu saw that her husband refused, he stopped talking about it.

Life is a double-edged sword, which can make you extremely happy or extremely painful.

In the 11th year of Kangxi (1672), Ding Yu's parents died one after another. Ding is a filial daughter and can't bear the fatal blows again and again in life. When burying her parents, she cried her eyes out and fainted several times. Finally, I wanted to cry, so I started a hunger strike.

After taking care of her parents' affairs, she suffered from eye diseases because she was too sad. How bad is her eyesight? In other words, if the light is not strong at ordinary times, then she can hardly see clearly. I don't know if it is glaucoma now. )

In the 13th year of Kangxi (1674), my mother-in-law unfortunately suffered from malaria (an acute infectious disease). Ding Yu works hard and serves day and night. At this time, Zang Meixi was in Suzhou and was planning to take a boat to Lushan, Henan as a magistrate. Zang Meixi was very anxious when she received the news that her mother was ill.

In order to reassure his son, Zangmu sent a letter from home. The main idea of the letter is to persuade my son to be an official with peace of mind, and it is also safe to have Jingxian, a filial daughter-in-law at home.

Zang Meixi received a letter from home, and then she went to Henan with confidence.

Her husband is far away in Lushan, Henan, and Ding Yu takes good care of her sick mother-in-law at home. In her spare time, she writes poems and lyrics. From some of her works, we can imagine that she looks haggard because of missing her husband, worrying about her mother-in-law's illness, hard housework and lack of sleep. Young mermaid. In this haggard and anxious state, I wrote a word "recalling the outside":

The hedge is faint and the curtains are small. A few lines of geese came from the south, but they took acacia to hate thousands of times.

The east wind was haggard overnight, and the Yangtze River was full of tears. I am obsessed with dressing table every day, afraid that my dream will fail and I will cross the balcony.

The general idea of the word is that she began to look into the distance before dawn. Clouds covered the mountains in the distance, as if there was nothing. Seeing geese flying over the horizon, she suddenly complained. She complained that the geese returning to the south not only didn't bring her any news about her husband, but added her deeper lovesickness and hatred. Without her husband, she became haggard, just like a flower that was about to wither in the wind and rain. She stayed in Lacrimosa all day, with tears as much as the rolling Yangtze River water. She often leans against the dresser, absorbed and unable to sleep. She is afraid that she won't dream about her husband in her sleep, so she can't see her husband in her dream.

The lyrics are straightforward and unobtrusive, but the lovesickness parting is particularly sincere and endless. The sentence "The Yangtze River is full of tears" is similar to Li Yu's "Regret for the Past", which has the same effect. "Balcony" is also the allusion of "high balcony", from which Song Yu's "Gao Tang Mi" came into being. It is said that Chu Huaiwang dreamed of a tryst with the goddess when traveling in Gaotang, which was later used to refer to the meeting between men and women.

There is no evidence to prove the existence of dream souls. Even if she occasionally meets her husband in her dream, she can still wake up with nothing. What Ding Yu wants is a real family reunion.

One day in the 14th year of Kangxi (1675), Ding Yu, who had been thinking about it day and night, finally hoped for good news. It turned out that her husband sent someone to pick her up and their children.

When I first arrived at Lushan Mountain, it kept raining. Ding Yu stays in his room every day to burn incense and pray to God. She prayed that her mother-in-law would get better and the weather would clear up as soon as possible. Whenever Ding Yu talks to her husband about Zangmu's illness, she always sobbs. A few days later, Ding Yu suddenly stopped eating. Zang Meixi doesn't know why, but after several persuasion, she still refuses to eat.

Once, Zang Meixi finally saw her pick up the bowl, but there was little rice. Zang Meixi couldn't help asking, "Are you sick?" Ding Yu shook his head. Zang Meixi asked again, "Is it because I did something wrong?" Ding Yu still sighed and shook his head.

"Oh, it's easy to get hungry if you don't eat it often." Zang Meixi stood up, already in a rash.

"Husband, do you really want to know the reason?" Ding Yu asked quietly.

"Yes, of course." Zang Meixi looked at Ding Yu anxiously, nodding.

"Would you believe me if I told you?" Ding Yu asked again.

Zang Meixi was even more anxious: "When have I never trusted you? Come on, tell me why you refuse to eat? "

As a result, Ding Yu's opening surprised Zang Meixi.

Ding Yu replied: "I am not stingy with this, but I really miss the pain of needlework. Farmers are hard." My god, the reason why she doesn't eat is not that we women don't eat, but to lose weight and keep fit. She saw that it had been raining heavily in Lushan Mountain, and she was worried that local crops would be affected. Once disaster strikes, what should women who live at the bottom of society and work day and night like hard-working women and farmers do?

Seeing this, I don't know if you are like me. At this time, in addition to shame, you have to respect this woman more than 300 years ago. you said

What kind of family education and self-awareness are needed to cultivate a thrifty and kind person like Ding Yu? As the Tang poem said, "Who knows that every meal is hard?" I wonder how many people in this world can really understand the hardships of life?

On the other hand, when Zang Meixi learned the real reason why Ding Yu didn't eat, he was once again shocked by his wife's noble character. He was silent for a while, then said to Ding Yu, "Well, tomorrow I will start to clean up the bad habit of eating and drinking in the yamen. However, you still have to eat this meal, and you and I will eat it together in the future. "

After listening to her husband's words, Ding Yu smiled at Shu Mei and slowly picked up the bowl.

Early the next morning, Zang Meixi ordered a notice to be posted. From now on, all government workers should not only save food, but also prohibit eating meat and drinking alcohol, otherwise hell to pay will be punished.

Soon, the weather in Lushan finally cleared up, and the disaster that Ding Yu was worried about did not happen.

Once, Zang Meixi wanted to hire a servant. On the recommendation of an acquaintance, there was such a person who came for an interview. Zang Meixi sat in front of the hall, while Ding Yu watched through the curtains in the room. Zang Meixi saw that this man looked honest and eloquent. When he was about to decide to hire him, he suddenly heard Ding Yu coughing several times in the curtain.

Zang Meixi naturally understood what his wife meant, so she turned and walked into the room. Ding Yu said softly to Zang Meixi, "I have just observed this man for so long. To tell the truth, as a wife, I think this person is soft outside and hard inside. I'm afraid he is a sinister villain who is good at camouflage. I don't think he can be hired. " Hearing this, Zang Meixi felt that what Ding Yu said was reasonable, so she dismissed this person.

The man who was fired was later employed as a servant by a local secretariat. But not long after, the man was arrested and imprisoned for theft. Hearing this, Zang Meixi really admired Ding Yu's keen insight, and everyone praised him for having a wife.

The good times in the world are always short-lived. No one would have thought that Ding Yu's brief encounter with her husband turned out to be the farewell of husband and wife in this life.

In September of the 14th year of Kangxi (1675), Zang Meixi received a letter from home and was deeply saddened to learn that her mother had passed away. After hearing this, Ding Yuwen fell on the pillow and wept bitterly, and began to stop eating a grain of rice. It's no use trying for a few days. Zangmeixi had to feed her with water, and Dante was ill in bed for two months.

One day in December this year, Zang Meixi saw that Ding Yu was looking well, mistakenly thinking that her condition was getting better, and hurried to deal with the affairs of the yamen, taking her and her children to prepare for returning to China to deal with her mother's affairs.

Unexpectedly, when the family trudged 90 miles to Yexian (now Pingdingshan City, Henan Province), Ding Yu's condition suddenly worsened.

December 26th, dusk. It rains and snows, and the cold wind is particularly biting.

In the inn, Zang Meixi looked at Ding Yu, who was dying and scrawny, and he felt powerless. All he can do now is to hold his wife's hand and let her tears flow.

At the end of the day (about eight o'clock in the evening), Ding Yu was pale and weak, leaving some last words. She advised her husband not to be sad, to take good care of his health, and made him promise to continue to marry after his death and take good care of their children.

Seeing her husband nod, Ding Yu left the last smile that belongs to this world. She quietly closed her eyes and left, thirty-one years old.

Looking back, when Zang Meixi was admitted to Jinshi, Ding Yu had deliberately advised her husband to pull a deer cart and retire to Xiangshan. But at that time, Zang Meixi only wanted to be an official, but rejected his wife's idea.

Ding Yu's beautiful wish to retire with her husband was not realized until her death, but it became the most regretful pain in Zang Meixi's life.

At this moment, Zang Meixi held Ding Yu tightly in her arms and cried in great sorrow, "Hello! Listen to your child's plan early, and you will be self-sufficient in ten years, and there will be many things that will benefit you. And that deer is famous, what is it! "

It's really a pity to lose my beloved wife for so-called fame. Although Zang Meixi's remorse is heartfelt, it is a pity that Ding Yu will never hear it again.

Fortunately, Zang Meixi did not forget his wife Ding Yu's dying entrustment. Later, he continued to marry a wife and raised a pair of children with his stepmother. Daughter married into a government official, and son Zang Changyuan (the word Ye Hou) became a magistrate in Jiangning (now Nanjing) and published his mother Ding Yu's poems in Fu Zi.

Ding Guyou female word Jingxian, that year, she came from the snow; That year, she stayed away from the snow again.

My thoughts are flying and I can't help sighing.

I lament that life is like a dream, but unfortunately she woke up too early; I sigh that life is like a play, and I pity her for being too devoted.

At this time, the day outside is not yet dawn, and the rain is hitting the window lattice.

Suddenly I believe that these storms must have come to me from a long time ago. Otherwise, they wouldn't tell me her story so lightly tonight.
