Even though he was born in a prominent family in Jiangnan, no one expected that this person would amazed the literary world in one fell swoop and became famous overseas, making foreigners sigh: "When you come to China, you will see the Great Wall, and you will see Qian Zhongshu."

Jiwujunyu:

There are many kinds of love, the most beautiful one-

is Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu .

910, a cry was heard, and a proud and vicious man was born.

even though he was born in a prominent family in Jiangnan, no one expected that this person would amazed the literary world in one fell swoop and became famous overseas, making foreigners sigh:

"Come to China, one look at the Great Wall of ,000 miles, and the other is to see Qian Zhongshu."

▲Qian Zhongshu and his father

A year later, the fourth child of the famous Yang family was born, and the talented girl Yang Jiang also met this world.

ancestral home is both Wuxi , and two people who also love reading have some fate that brings a red line.

so fate brought them to Tsinghua Park .

You are mine, like the spring when peach blossoms

Spring, it must be a romantic season for both of them.

Because spring is coming, love follows closely.

Yang Jiang, who is dedicated to learning, came to Soviet University from Hiang Wu University to Tsinghua , and met Qian Zhongshu from the famous Huayuan in Guyuetang .

At this time, the money was talented but aggressive, thinking that "No professor at Tsinghua University is qualified to be my supervisor for someone else's money."

And his appearance is also old-fashioned, wearing a "green cloth gown", cloth shoes, and glasses, which is a bit "silly".

When you see people who are very different from inside and outside, others will retreat. But Yang Jiang felt that was "very impressive" and remembered him in her heart.

One thing is to reduce another thing, but the arrogant one can't help it.

So Qian wrote a letter to Yang meet again. The first sentence was

"I am not engaged"

Yang Jiang knew it and clarified the rumors and said

"I don't have a boyfriend, either"

sudden love, like a bird falling on her shoulder.

makes two people at their best age happy and their hearts are gushing.

Many years later, Qian recalled the meeting of the two, wrote a gentle love poem, praising Yang's beauty:

Eyes and light memories I saw the first

Rose New petals soaked in the divine

I don't know how to wash my childhood face

I once took safflower and snow

After getting along more closely, Yang also saw the funny behind Qian's arrogance, and occasionally sent letters with "intellectual thoughts".

Once, she sent a letter to seal the book, and the letter read:

"Shou"

After receiving it, Qian Zhongshu understood and only replied to one word:

"You"

It was originally the two of them who played the word-breaking game, splitting the upper and lower parts, and hiding them in their hearts. Yang means, "How many people do you have in your heart?"

Qian answered: "I have only you in my heart."

Everything in spring is romantic.

is like the spring breeze blowing for ten miles, like the spring water surging at the beginning, and like the frequency of communication between two people, so many that I can’t remember it.

It is said that Yang's father found clues from the communication and quietly read one. After reading the academics that Qian talked about, he praised his talent. After meeting with

, I learned that the other party likes me and I love to study dictionary and become a confidant. After a while, the two families became more and more favorable, and everything came naturally.

Just like Yang Jiang recalled later, she "fall in love" (falling in love) . Just like found the cup of tea in life, I thought about it all my heart.

and it's like a beautiful coincidence, the love between two people is also inseparable from tea.

They all love tea, and their favorite is black tea. Black tea is elegant and full of the flavor of time. It is paired with milk, mellow and distant.

Just like the love between two people, it is a joy at first sight and a long time. black tea with milk has even become a hobby that Qian Zhongshu can't quit throughout his life.

When love becomes a habit, there will be forever in the world.

years later, it is another spring.

money was qualified to study abroad and went to Oxford. In order to take care of him, Yang decided to give up his studies in Tsinghua University and accompany him.

They got married on the hottest day.

And this passion has also continued to the years that followed, making them fall in love with each other as if they were passionate.

Red Roasted meat is filled with fragrance, and it is not to let down the world of years and months

Many people know Qian Zhongshu, all starting from " Besieged City ".

And when it comes to it, the most profound sentence is "Marriage is a besieged city. People outside the city want to go in, and people in the city want to come out."

Qian Zhongshu, who entered the marriage, walked into the siege by himself, but after marriage, he lived the best love with Yang Jiang.

After the two went abroad, they first went to Oxford and then went to the University of Paris for further research.

They rented houses near the school and the library.

One house, two people eat three meals and four seasons, it sounds beautiful, but for people who don’t have both hands, it is inevitable that there is a bit of " palpitations ".

The two of them faced a strange country and a strange kitchen, and could only move their hands that were unfamiliar with cooking and learn to cook by themselves.

Once, Yang Jiang bought some affordable shrimps and wanted to cut off the shrimps and put them in the pot, but was frightened by the twitching of the live shrimps and threw away the scissors and said that she would rather not eat them.

Qian Zhongshu saw this and comforted him and said that he still needs to eat shrimps, and he will cut them next time.

is a trivial matter to deal with food ingredients. Faced with the real food, rice, oil and salt, Yang Jiang did not retreat.

She learned to make the money she wanted to eat braised pork . Without kitchen utensils, I borrowed the landlord's big scissors to cut the meat into one side.

At the beginning, she had no experience, so she placed the meat on an electric stove and cooked it hard. When the water was dry, she added water. She described it as "primitive people's cooking".

Later she remembered that her mother made jam on low heat and followed suit, and it turned out much better. Afterwards, I bought sherry as rice wine, and the taste became better and better.

Braised pork is well controlled and it will be fragrant and plump. After adding wine, the fishy smell disappeared and became more fragrant, soft and seductive. The faint fragrance of wine mixed with the aroma of meat naturally made Qian Zhongshu amazed.

He even wrote a poem specifically to praise his wife:

rolled sleeve apron for the mouth

wash hands to make soup

worry about the fireworks smoked color

want to find immortal fasting square

beautiful love, not to stay away from the firewood, rice, oil and salt, but slowly get used to it and slowly adapt.

You cut the shrimp for me, and I will cook for you. The heat has arrived, and the feelings are naturally getting deeper and deeper.

A seemingly ordinary dining table often hides the warmth of home.

According to Yang Jiang's recollection, one day she was still sleeping and was woken up by money, and she saw a small dining table in front of her.

"clumsy" Qian Zhongshu actually learned to make a sumptuous breakfast for her.

Early in the morning, he boiled eggs, toasted bread, hot milk, brewed black tea, took out butter and jam, and then came to wake his wife up.

Seeing her husband who can't even beat a match, Yang Jiang was so attentive, and said in a touching manner, "This is the most delicious breakfast I have ever eaten."

Beautiful love is more full of the fun of life.

Two young people who are proficient in many foreign languages, when they are idle at home, they will guess words from each other in foreign languages, and they will not feel boring and enjoy it.

When they go out for a walk, they call it "exploration". In the "streets and alleys" and "park churches", they find the fun of the world.

When Qian Zhongshu was busy writing, Yang Jiang took care of all the housework. She "preserved" her husband's innocence, talent and infatuation, allowing him to write books with peace of mind, and was also the other party's first reader.

The two often hold the manuscript and smile at each other.

Yang understands Qian's pride and self-sustainment, and also understands his meaning. They said everything, so their ordinary life became more lively.

Beautiful love is always mutual.

Although Qian Zhongshu knew nothing about housework, he would accompany Yang Jiang to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and would hide in the room to wash clothes secretly to share her hard work.

Although it has to be re-washed by Yang Jiang in the end, love is clumsy, but it is also the reality of love.

Pot a bowl of chicken soup, make your warm waiter

Regarding the child, Qian Zhongshu said very touchingly:

"I don't want a son, I want a daughter"

"Just as long as one, like yours"

So he got what he wanted and Yang Jiang got pregnant.

▲ Qian Zhongshu, Yang Jiang and Qian Yuan's family

After giving birth, Yang Jiang recuperated in the hospital and lived alone. Qian Zhongshu's "stupid" in life was also revealed -

Yang Jiang recalled that at that time, Qian always said with a bitter face, "I did something bad."

Sometimes it blows up the ink bottle and stains the landlord's tablecloth; sometimes it smashes the desk lamp and breaks the door shaft... For Qian Zhongshu, who is devoted to academic research, but still wears the wrong shoes when he is old, these are all difficult problems.

But Yang Jiang happened to be the right person. She just said, "It doesn't matter, I can repair it." In the end, she really cooked the house in an orderly manner.

For them, the best confession may not be "I love you", but Yang Jiang's "It doesn't matter".

marriage is a companion in old age. No matter how naive a person is, he will learn to grow up.

Although Qian Zhongshu is still not good at life, he still learns to take care of his wife. It is said that during his confinement period, he learned to make soup for his wife by himself.

Warm chicken soup, white smoke curling, may not be as good as a chef's skill, but it warms Yang Jiang's heart.

The most beautiful appearance of love is not that two perfect people piece together, but that two imperfect people help each other and considerate each other.

Only with sweet love words and real actions can we last forever.

After having a daughter, the two became "three of us".

Qian Zhongshu's "infatuation" is even more "overflowing". He took advantage of Yang's sleepiness and drew a flowery face with thick ink. Unexpectedly, Yang Jiang's face was thin and almost broken after washing.

He had to draw a portrait of Yang, add glasses and beard to have fun.

After returning to China, he even drew a big face on her belly while her daughter was sleeping. After being scolded by Qian's mother, he did not dare to draw again.

When he was teasing his daughter, he would hide pens and inkstones and toys in the quilt. When his daughter screamed, he was very happy. After that, my daughter will search before going to bed, but she will never get tired of playing this game.

▲ Qian Zhongshu and his family

Yang Jiang is alone, cooking the family's daily life. Let my husband study with peace of mind and tolerate his naivety. He also took good care of his daughter, whose nickname is Yuanyuan.

Even Qian's family praised her and said "The pen is shaken, the spatula is held... and the kitchen is down... Brother Xuan is a fool, and he is lucky."

Whenever money encounters any difficulties in interacting with people, Yang Jiang can always handle them well.

Qian's cousin Qian Zhonglu once said Yang "It's like a tent, covering everyone around you inside, and she will resist the storm outside ."

Pictures｜Lulu ©

Love may not be magnificent, the years are quiet enough.

The only time they quarreled was for the pronunciation of French. In the end, they found the quarrel boring and decided that "everyone has objections, there is no need to seek the same thing." As a result, there was no objection in the following years.

people support each other, read, learn, and share with each other.

Once Yang Jiang saw a passage and gave it to Qian Zhongshu to read

Before meeting her, I never thought of getting married

married her for decades, and never regretted marrying her

nor did I ever think of marrying another woman

Qian Zhongshu immediately responded to "I am the same."

Yang Jiang smiled and answered "I am the same."

The most beautiful love does not look fixed, but the two people are the best in each other's hearts. Once you work together, you will have no regrets.

Change me to make soup for you and accompany you to the last

harsh times. The two of them have been separated for several times, but because of their understanding, they have felt sweet in their bitterness.

Qian Zhongshu wrote letters to Yang Jiang like he was when he was young, and even wrote his daily life into a diary to share with her.

He also wrote the words "memorial" at the end of the letter, humorously comparing the letter to "face to the saint", which is really unique and has a lot of interest between husband and wife.

No wonder the poet Cindy once said that money has a "wife reputation", which shows it.

Yang Jiang also recalled in her later years, saying, "Zhongshu did appreciate me. Whether it was hard work in life or translation and writing, it encouraged me a lot and was also the basis of love."

Only when a couple is intimate can they be lovers.

In Qian Zhongshu's heart, Yang combined the three identities of "wife, lover, and friend", "she is the virtuous wife and the most talented woman."

He did not only see Yang's efforts in life, but also expressed his recognition of her career -

"Yang Jiang's prose is born good, no one can learn it."

In this most beautiful love, Qian Zhongshu is a husband who is good at praising and caring for his wife, while Yang Jiang is a wife who knows how to listen and understand her husband.

This is the true sense of complete and mature love.

They have cut each other's hair and made friends together.

▲ Qian Zhongshu and Yang Jiang cut each other's hair, Yang Jiang used electric faders, Qian Zhongshu used scissors

Two people walked hand in hand, and when three people were three, they took their daughter for a walk, and they also shared the "gravel" they found.

The stones here are not ordinary stones, but trivial and interesting things they find in their lives, such as picking shells by the sea and sharing them with each other, which is very beautiful.

"The Three of Us" is the most beautiful love words, because they feel deeply happy to build a home together. This home is always intimate, warm, and also one.

Just like Yang Jiang wrote -

"Our family is very simple. We have no desires with the world and no competition with others. We just want to get together and stay together...

When we encounter difficulties, Zhong Shu and I bear it together... and A Yuan is with us, no matter what bitter and difficult things, they can become sweet.

We are a little happy and will become very happy, so the three of us are unusual encounters."

▲ Qian Zhongshu, Yang Jiang and Qian Yuan’s family

That’s it. Two people whom I admired at first sight, accompanied each other for 63 years and grew old together.

Later, Qian Zhongshu was hospitalized due to illness and could not eat ordinary food. Yang Jiang bought all kinds of chicken, fish and vegetables and started cooking in a very delicate way.

Chicken breasts must be removed, and all the small thorns in the fish must be picked out.

She is still learning to make some light and nourishing soup, taking care of and visiting every day.

Qian once told Yang "From now on, we will only have to part with death and no longer have birth and separation."

Now that they have been with each other for their lives, they are the best proof of this sentence.

With the death of his daughter, Qian Zhongshu, who was seriously ill, gradually weakened. He still looked at Yang Jiang with his eyes open and reluctant to leave.

Yang Jiang said gently, "You are tired, close your eyes and go to bed."
Qian Zhongshu said in his hometown dialect: "Jiang, good-hearted (good-hearted) ", leaving the world.

Pictures｜Xue3fei who ©

Yang Jiang lives in a home with only white walls and concrete floors, "One person remembers the three of us".

As the family discussed before, donated the royalties to Tsinghua University as a "good reading" scholarship, so that poor students can also have the opportunity to study at their alma mater.

Because she understands Qian Zhongshu's emphasis on academics, she said she wanted to stay and "clean up". At the age of 90, she still sorted out Qian's manuscripts and kept his efforts.

indifferent and calm, she said, "I don't think my life is empty. I live a fulfilling life and it's interesting because there are three of us."

Only those who have been truly happy can express such an understanding.

Yang Jiang would read through old books every night before going to bed. When she saw the corners and circles left by money, she would read them carefully.

In her eyes, Qian Zhongshu has never been a single face in the eyes of the outside world, with a stinky tongue or arrogance.

She said that "Guan Zhu Pian" is a Zhongshu who is eager to learn and think deeply, "Huai Ju Shi Guan" is a Zhongshu who is "worrying about the world and hurting life", and "Faicheng" is a Zhongshu who is "faithful" and crazy.

Each one is her beloved Zhongshu.

And she "always Yang Jiang in Qian Zhongshu's life".

The most beautiful love, after thousands of sails, it is still the soul fit.

Qian Zhongshu once said : "Although life is painful, it is not pessimistic... we are even willing to die slowly" . Yang Jiang understands him, so she stays in the world, inherits his last wishes, and continues to appreciate the scenery of life with calmness and calmness.

Time passes by, Yang Jiang wrote:

I am one hundred years old today and have come to the edge of life. I can't tell how far I can go, and my life span is involuntary, but I know very well that I'm about to "go home".

Five years later, she really "returned home". Back to that small home of "three of us", the whole family was reunited in heaven.

If true love is not touching, there will be no romance in the world.

They have admired each other when they were young and passed on letters to the old age when they were young. They have already had the best love.

I think we should bless you more, they are finally reunited.
