1.
Song Xunhe's surname was Song, but he stayed in Gu Yuan because of his grandmother's meager face and the kindness of Mrs. Gu.
She had nothing to repay Mrs. Gu, so she could only read a passage from a book she wanted to read to the old lady who was old and had poor eyesight on weekend afternoons.
Sometimes it's a few essays, sometimes it's a few short poems.
Later, one more person listened to her study, and it was the old lady's favorite eldest grandson and the future heir of the Gu family, Gu Langzhi.
2.
Gu Langzhi lived in Beicheng all year round, and only returned to the old garden in Nancheng during the winter and summer vacations to spend time with his elderly lady.
But he didn't expect that this year's summer vacation would be different. There would be a girl of the same age as him in Gu Yuan.
The girl lives up to her name, she is slim and graceful, and her temperament is like a lotus. Her words seem to be blown by a warm breeze, and everything is appropriate.
But Gu Langzhi knew very well that such a lotus could not bloom in Gu Yuan's pond.
Song Xunhe will leave sooner or later.
3.
After Song Xunhe left, no one in Gu Yuan could read a passage that Gu Langzhi casually excerpted word for word and in a gentle tone.
The letter paper was placed on the table, and the rainwater poured in through the open window, soaking the thin paper pages and blurring the black writing.
In the end, the cleaning servant took it away as waste paper, threw it into a dark plastic bag, and sealed it with this midsummer time.
