He messed up my sister's marriage, but he remembered every word I said. He had a photographic memory, but he couldn't say "I put that there".
At the spring banquet, Gu Changjun, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, disrupted the marriage between the Shen family and the Yongchang Hou Mansion in public. Shen Qingci stood up to retort and met his eyes. Later, he changed her poem, changing only one word; he blocked her father's sword in a dark alley, his robe was covered in blood; he waited for her at the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a lantern; he said "I can't think of a better way to say it" under the osmanthus tree. It took her a long time to realize: he was not arrogant, he just hadn't met anyone he could be willing to side by side with for too long.
Pei Youan, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who has a photographic memory, left three kinds of osmanthus in her drawer, passing by them every time and never stopping. He was the son of a salt merchant who was unjustly killed in the Lianghuai Salt Case twelve years ago. It took him twelve years to come to her. She asked him in the Hibiscus Garden if he had placed the osmanthus leaf in the book, and he said: "That tree bloomed again this year." He never said "I put it there", he just left the thing where she might see it, and then stepped aside to wait for her to find it.
One is in the light and the other is in the dark. One changes her poems, and the other puts her flowers.
This is a story about re-recognizing yourself.
Intention: Arrogant people learn to speak, forbearing people come to the light, and protected people find their own battlefield——
