Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

It was already late autumn, and winter would arrive in another month, with the weather noticeably turning colder.

So when Tang Yu was giving Guo Jia acupuncture, she suddenly discovered something quite serious.

Taking off your shirt for acupuncture in winter? What kind of health regimen is that? You'll just catch a cold.

After all, there was no central heating or air conditioning in this era.

"What are you thinking about?"

Guo Jia's upper body was already pierced with many fine needles, and the person administering the needles seemed to have gone into a daze.

Is winter difficult for you?

"Cold is a deadly weapon. Winter is really hard for me. I get sick more than once a year."

Keeping warm seems more important than taking care of one's health.

“Fengxiao, I think we should build a few warm houses specifically for winter to keep you warm and protect you from the cold. This is more important for your health.”

"How to do it?"

“I need to draw a diagram of a heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) specifically designed for winter, and then I’ll start looking for craftsmen to build it.”

In fact, this is not a simple matter.

The blueprints were easy to draw, but the bricks and stones needed to build the heated kang actually required firing clay bricks first, so everything had to start from scratch.

The place where Guo Jia lived in seclusion had young and strong servants, which was enough to gather workers to build a new house.

When the first heavy snow of the year arrived, the heated kang (traditional Chinese bed) was repaired.

Tang Yu told Guo Jia to move in quickly.

Since the weather turned cold, Guo Jia has been wearing a fur coat every day, yet he still turns pale from the cold, and Tang Yu has even given up on winter acupuncture.

Why suffer from the cold?

"Time is of the essence. We can only repair one warm room in time. You should move in, Ayu. Women are delicate and cannot withstand the cold."

The yellow wine on Tang Yuni's stove was already warm, and she began to pour it for Guo Jia.

"The cold isn't scary for me, but you need it more."

Like this glass of hot wine, it warms you up, but it's useless to me.

"As for the warm house, there's no need to build my house after next spring. Your health will be fine after half a year of recuperation. I estimate that I will be traveling in other places by next winter."

After Guo Jia finished drinking a cup of hot wine, his body warmed up, but his heart felt a little cold.

"Going to Jingzhou?"

"Perhaps I don't have any set plans. I'll just go wherever I end up and do whatever I feel like."

These two months are enough time for Guo Jia to observe and understand the personality of the person in front of him.

Except for one thing.

Is there no one in this world you want to care about?

Tang Yu answered this question without hesitation.

"There is none right now, so I think I'll just wander around and help treat patients if I encounter any. Maybe in the future I'll settle down somewhere and pass on my medical skills."

Either wait for the north to stabilize before choosing a location, or go to the south to choose a location.

Tang Yu hasn't decided yet.

There was simply no place that gave her a strong desire to settle down.

"I've finished making the guzheng. May I hear you play it today?"

Guo Jia suddenly changed the subject, and Tang Yu became interested as well.

"Today, snow is falling heavily, and there's a piece of music that's especially suitable for a snowy day."

After testing the tone, Tang Yu began to play.

The moment the lively melody was played, Guo Jia was certain of an idea.

Chapter 6 Guo Jia 6

The book "Guicang" once said that Hengwo stole the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West and consumed it for a month... Later, the book "Huainanzi" also said that Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the elixir of immortality, and Heng'e stole it and fled to the moon.

After Tang Yu finished playing a piece, Guo Jia suddenly said this, and Tang Yu asked with a slight smile.

Why tell this story?

Guo Jia did not answer directly, but continued telling the story.

Zhang Heng of this dynasty once said in his book "Ling Xian" that Chang'e was the wife of Yi. She stole the Queen Mother's elixir of immortality, took it, and fled to the moon.

From Heng'e's pursuit of immortality and her journey to the moon, to the appearance of Yi, and then her becoming Yi's wife, the story has changed to Chang'e becoming Yi's wife, and then stealing the elixir.

"Ayu, do you think Hengzhen really exists?"

Chang'e was originally called Hengwo, but to avoid using the name of Emperor Liu Heng, she gradually became Heng'e, and later evolved into Chang'e.

The evolution of the Chang'e story is actually a demonstration of the gradual suppression and decline of women's status.

However, Guo Jia said that this story was definitely not about discussing the issue of imperial relatives in the Han Dynasty with her.

After all, the Empress Dowager of the Han Dynasty was quite fierce.

"Perhaps they exist, but the real story is definitely different from what is recorded. After all, all stories and legends become unrecognizable after a long period of time."

These words made Guo Jia laugh.

"Then, will Hengwo feel lonely in the Moon Palace? Will she return to the human world? However, there are no old friends left in the human world, and there is nothing in the world that she can miss or long for."

She already possessed immortality, she would not bleed or shed tears, she would not feel pain or illness, she would not experience hunger or cold, everything in the world was commonplace to her, and she could easily possess anything.

She doesn't crave food and warmth because of hunger, nor warmth because of cold, nor wealth because of lack of money, nor health because of illness... Ah Yu, Heng Wo, how can I find happiness?

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Tang Yu was stunned for a moment.

After a while, Tang Yu looked up and replied with these words.

"I don't think she knows the answer either."

"The bright moon in the sky is too lonely, I want to bring her down to earth."

After a long while, Guo Jia spoke these words, and Tang Yu poured himself a glass of wine.

"In youth, one knows not the taste of sorrow, and loves to climb high towers. He loves to climb high towers, and forces himself to write new poems, feigning sorrow."

Now that I know all the sorrow, I want to stop talking. I wanted to give it up, but I said it was a cool autumn.

"Fengxiao, shall we build a snowman?"

Guo Jia extended his palm.

"I'm afraid of the cold and don't want to get sick and take bitter medicine. How can I avoid the cold while playing in the snow? If you can't guarantee this, I won't play with you."

Tang Yu smiled, extended her palm, and then asked Guo Jia to extend his hand as well.

A warm breath instantly enveloped Guo Jia, and Guo Jia's face immediately lit up with a smile.

How long does it last?

"At least half an hour."

"So I can roll around in the snow too?"

Tang Yu frowned.

Why do you have this idea?

"When I was young, I was weak and was never allowed to go out and play in the snow in winter. Now that I'm older, no one nags me anymore, and every time I indulge myself, I have to drink bitter medicine."

I also want to act recklessly just once, without having to bear the consequences.

Tang Yu sighed as she thought of Guo Jia's servants.

“If you go out and play around, those servants outside will kneel on the ground and beg you to behave.”

"So we need to go to a secluded place. Ah Yu should be able to take me to play in the deep mountains covered in snow, right?"

We can even go hunting; whatever we catch today, we'll eat it, how about that?

Half an hour later, Tang Yu led Guo Jia to fly into the deep mountains.

"There are wild rabbits around here, Fengxiao. If you can't catch a single one today, I'll look down on you!"

Guo Jia laughed instantly. He put his bow and arrows aside and lay down on the snow.

"No rush, I'm going to indulge myself today."

After saying this, Guo Jia buried himself in the snow and began to chant.

The north wind howls, the rain and snow fall. You are kind and loving, let us return hand in hand. Is it false or true? We must hurry!

Neither red nor black is a fox, nor is black a crow. Kind and friendly to me, we ride hand in hand. Is it false or true? It's urgent!

Tang Yu thought of a more interesting line of poetry from later generations describing snow.

"The north wind sweeps across the land, bending the white grass; in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, snow flies in the northern sky. Suddenly, as if a spring breeze has arrived overnight, thousands of trees bloom with pear blossoms..."

Guo Jia asked curiously.

"Who wrote it? And that 'Young Man Who Didn't Know the Taste of Sorrow' from before?"

"Actually, I don't know him either. Even if I tell you his name, you still wouldn't know who he is."

Guo Jia laughed heartily upon hearing this answer, and pointed to the trees around him.

Are there any pear trees around here?

No, do you want to eat a pear?

Guo Jia shook his head.

"After the New Year, when spring arrives, I want to plant a few pear trees in front of the house, and preferably some peach and plum trees as well. I think I will be very happy when the fruit grows."

Tang Yu thought of the grafting plan she had originally devised.
