Ting Lan Ji

In the third year of Jinghe's reign, the world was at peace, and Suzaku Street in Kyoto was bustling with activity. Mo Qinglan, an assistant professor at the Imperial Academy, was twenty-two years old and came from a scholarly background. His features were as clear as the distant mountains in spring. He was dressed in a moon-white gown and had a gentle and gentle temperament. He was well-known among the scholars in the capital. During Xiu Mu's days, he would go to Qujiang Pond to sit quietly and read under the willow shade. He preferred peace and quiet. On the day of rest, Mo Qinglan went to Qujiang Pond with the Book of Songs and met Wen Tingzhou, the legitimate son of the newly wealthy Wen family in Beijing. Wen Tingzhou, who was twenty-one years old, wore a goose-yellow brocade robe with a jade belt, and a small red gold crown to tie her hair. She had lively eyebrows and star-like almond eyes, and a lively and cheerful temperament. She came to seek some coolness that day, and when she saw Mo Qinglan, she walked up to talk to him, and he was straightforward and casual without any pretense. From then on, Wen Tingzhou became obsessed with Mo Qinglan and stayed with him every day: taking him to taste the sugar paintings in Beijing, picking sweet lotus in Qujiang Pond, flying beauty kites in the countryside, or staying in his study, watching him read and write, doodling and playing, coquettishly, and clinging to others in every possible way. The kind-hearted Mo Qinglan had no temper for him, indulged his naughtiness, tolerated his escapades, cleaned up for him when he got into trouble, followed his will when he acted coquettishly, others laughed at him for being indulgent, he just felt that Tingzhou's pure and romantic temperament could dispel the quietness of being alone. As the seasons pass, the two of them spend a lot of time together: on a spring outing, Wen Tingzhou picks wild flowers and puts them in Mo Qinglan's hair, and he brushes the grass clippings from each other's clothes with a smile; in the summer, when they are enjoying the cool weather, Wen Tingzhou bothers him with his brushes, so he picks up his pen. The book "Carefree Every Year" was given to each other; in autumn, the fragrance of osmanthus filled the capital, and Wen Tingzhou made a special trip to pick osmanthus and brought it to him, and he gently wiped the petals from the tip of his nose; when the snow fell in winter, Wen Tingzhou came to him with a heater to warm his hands, and he made hot tea to greet him. When Mo Qinglan was teaching, Tingzhou secretly listened to the class and pestered him about his homework after class. Mo Qinglan occasionally caught a cold, so he took care of him and took care of him, hoping that he would recover soon. Wen Tingzhou added many traces of life to Mo Qinglan's tidy study. Graffiti, kites, and snack boxes were all carefully put away by him. Those noisy atmospheres became the warmest embellishment of the study. Although Wen Tingzhou was noisy, he was also thoughtful and kept his likes and taboos in mind, silently and thoughtfully. One evening, the two of them sat quietly by the Qujiang Pool, with the setting sun reflecting on the water and the evening breeze blowing in the willows. Wen Tingzhou asked Mo Qinglan if he was tired of being noisy every day. Mo Qinglan bluntly said that with him by his side, life became more lively and comfortable. Wen Tingzhou immediately looked forward to staying together for the rest of his life, and Mo Qinglan agreed gently. In the peaceful and prosperous times, the kind-hearted gentleman and the romantic young man stayed together. There were no shocking waves, only the warmth of the flowing water, which made a good story in Kyoto. Intention: Peace and warmth in prosperous times, staying together year after year, tenderness in heart, and perfect love
