This long paragraph is one of Hamlet's monologue in Hamlet, one of Shakespeare’s four famous tragedies. Fu Hua did not expect Qiao Yuzhen to come here and recite it casually. It can be seen that she is well-educated and her noble temperament is also due to it. Come on.
Qiao Yuzhen’s recitation continues: “It makes us hesitate and makes us willingly endure years of disasters. Otherwise, who is willing to tolerate all kinds of torture in the world, such as the tyrant’s government, the pride of the proud, the pain of broken love, the slowness of the law? , The insults of corrupt officials, or the humiliation of the common people, if he can simply kill it? Who else would be willing to be a cow and a horse, tired all his life, silently enduring its sufferings, and fly high and float away. In the vague realm, what if he hesitated not because of fear of what is behind? This realm is a state that no one knows, and there has been no return since ancient times."
At the end of the recitation of this monologue, Qiao Yuzhen's voice was a little hoarse and desolate. I want to say that this passage is somewhat related to some of her sad experiences, which makes her emotionally very sad. This was also something Fu Hua didn't expect. He didn't expect that such a strong woman who seemed to be a master of business and politics would actually have such a literary or romantic side.
After Qiao Yuzhen finished the recitation, he was very depressed and had no words for a long time. Fu Hua didn't know why Qiao Yuzhen was like this, and could not comfort or relieve her. There was a short silence in the room.
After a while, Qiao Yuzhen recovered from his depression. He smiled and said, ""Unexpectedly, I'm still so knowledgeable, right
Fu Hua smiled and shook his head, and said, "I really didn't expect you to speak Hamlet's monologue so fluently."
Qiao Yuzhen smiled and said: "I was in a mission school in Hong Kong, and the priest would often take us to rehearse some Shakespearean plays. In Hamlet, I played Hamlet’s lover Ophelia. I would often accompany this monologue. The senior who played Hamlet rehearsed together, so I was very impressed in my mind."
When Fu Hua saw Qiao Yuzhen mention the senior who played Hamlet, a bright light flashed in her eyes. Obviously, this senior was not as simple as a senior. I'm afraid he has a deep relationship with Qiao Yuzhen.
Qiao Yuzhen said at this moment: "Wait a moment, I will show you something."
Qiao Yuzhen left the living room and went to another room. After a while, she took a picture that looked a little old, handed it to Fu Hua, and said, "Let's take a look."
Fu Hua took it and took a look. In the photo, a man and a woman were dressed in ancient Western costumes with curly headgear. Both men and women looked very young, with a magnificent teenage appearance, and the woman’s face. Although very immature, it can still be vaguely seen to be very similar to Qiao Yuzhen.
Fu Hua smiled and said, "Is this a still from when you played Hamlet with the senior?"
Qiao Yuzhen nodded and said, "Yes, the senior's name is Wei Zhi. Take a closer look at his appearance and see what's special?"
Fu Hua took a close look at the man's face in the photo, but didn't feel anything special. He just felt that the man's expression was stubborn, but the role of the man was Hamlet, which seemed to meet the needs of Hamlet's role.
Fu Hua looked at Qiao Yuzhen with a little puzzlement, and said puzzledly: "I don't know what you want me to see?"
Qiao Yuzhen smiled and said, "Let's take a good look."
Fu Hua got up with the man who re-measured the photo. After watching for a long time, he didn't see anything. At this time, Qiao Yuzhen brought a bottle of wine with golden outer packaging and two goblet glasses, and a plate of pistachios.
Fu Hua smiled and said, "It's a good taste today. You actually have noble rot wine here. Looking at this label, this should be the king of wine, the Tokaj Asu of royal wine, right?"
Qiao Yuzhen laughed and said, "Sure enough, it was a receptionist. You can see the origin of this wine at a glance. This was brought back by a friend of mine from Hungary and gave me two bottles. This wine has a sweeter taste and is served with pistachios. Such nuts are just right."
Fu Hua smiled and shook his head, and said, "Why don't I have such a good friend?"
The reason Fu Hua was envious was that noble rot wine was hard to get. Noble rot wine is made by a kind of noble mold attached to the grape skin. Noble mold is a kind of natural mold. When mature grapes are infected with this mold, the hyphae of the mold will penetrate the grape skins, and the moisture in the grapes will be partially absorbed or evaporated. Therefore, the grapes will shrink and cause the grapes to shrink. The sugar and other ingredients inside are concentrated and produce a special fragrance. The noble rot and sweet grapes must be carefully selected. Because each bunch of grapes has different degrees of infection, it is usually harvested in multiple times, which is very time-consuming and laborious; the harvested grapes can actually be squeezed after being selected. There is very little juice, and sometimes the juice squeezed out from the fruit of a grapevine is less than 100 grams.
Hungarian Tokaj Asu noble rot wine is said to be the origin of noble rot wine. Legend has it that in the early 17th century, the Turks invaded Hungary. Due to war, the grapes from the Tokaj region of Hungary were not picked until November. The grapes of each vine can only make a small glass of wine, and the yield is greatly reduced. It can unexpectedly produce a kind of fragrant and sweet wine that has never been before. Everyone I am full of praise after tasting it. Since then, it has been brewed in this way every year, and it has been passed down to this day.
Tokaj Asu noble rot wine has also become a well-known fine wine. The French King Louis XIV, after tasting Tokaj noble rot sweet wine, praised this wine as the king of wine and the wine of the king. The wine has been sought after and loved by royal families and royal families in many European countries. For hundreds of years, it has been only supplied to European royal families and celebrities and nobles. It has only been available on the market in recent decades, but the amount on the market is still very small. .
The people who can get this kind of wine are by no means an ordinary generation, but Fu Hua has already begun to adapt to Qiao Yuzhen's situation where his friends are either rich or expensive, and he didn't show any surprise.
Qiao Yuzhen smiled faintly and said, "There is still a bottle left unopened. If you like it, please take it with you when you leave."
Fu Hua smiled and shook his head, and said, "No more, I will be very happy if I can taste it with you."
Qiao Yuzhen smiled and said, "I know you want to say that. Are you always like this? There is always a victim's mentality. You always think that others are calculating you, right? Do you know that you are so boring like this? ?"
Fu Hua smiled and said: "Ms. Qiao, do you need to talk so that people can't get off the stage? I'm not saying that there is a victim's mentality, but I am embarrassed to accept such a valuable gift from you."
Qiao Yuzhen laughed and said, "I don't treat others like this. I just like to see you when you are embarrassed."
Fu Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it, am I unlucky?"
Qiao Yuzhen smiled and said, "That can't be helped. Who told you to look like the guy in the photo?"
Fu Hua was a bit taken aback. He didn't feel that Wei Zhi in the photo resembled him. He picked up the photo again and looked at it. After looking at it for a long time, he still didn't know where it was. So he asked Qiao Yuzhen in confusion: "Does it look like? Why can't I see it at all?"
Qiao Yuzhen smiled and said: "Like, I didn't mean the appearance, I mean the expression, you are the kind of people who are calm on the outside but stubborn on the inside, especially when you are in that embarrassment, that kind of embarrassed and unconvincing person. It looks exactly like him."
Fu Hua smiled dryly. He didn't know anything about it, and he couldn't tell from the photos.
Qiao Yuzhen poured Fu Hua's wine while smiling and said, "It's really similar. If you see him, you will definitely feel this way. Maybe you can't see this in the photos now."
Fu Hua said: "Yes, the photos don't show this. It seems that you have a special relationship with Wei Zhi?"
Qiao Yuzhen nodded and said, "We used to be very close lovers. If I hadn't broken up with him, I would be his wife now."
Fu Hua could hear that Qiao Yuzhen's tone was a lot of reluctance, and he was a little surprised, so he asked: "I think you mean that you are very unwilling to accept this relationship, but why did you propose to break up with him? This is not true. Contradictory?"
Qiao Yuzhen smiled bitterly and said: "He asked me to choose between my career and him. I didn't choose him. He is a poor scholar, poor temper and stinky, but machismo, unwilling to let me show up. I want to quit work after I get married, but I have had enough hardships. I really can’t accept it if I want to go with him."
Fu Hua said, "Do you regret it in your heart?"
"Regret it?" Qiao Yuzhen shook his head gently, and said, "I don't know, but every time I encounter difficulties in my career, all my dignity as a human being is shattered, and I can't cry. When I come out and can’t hold on, I will remember the warmth that he once held, and I have the courage to hold on again. Come on, Mr. Fu, let’s not just talk, don’t let down such a good one. Noble rot wine."
Fu Hua picked up the wine glass, touched it with Qiao Yuzhen, and drank a sip of golden noble rot wine. The wine is iced, and smells like honey, as if it is blended with the fragrance of citrus and spices. The moment of the mouth, the sweetness of the honey is very obvious, and it feels a little sour. Take another sip, and it is very mellow. A feeling of happiness and intoxication slowly flowed down from my throat.
This wine is indeed very good, but I am afraid that it is very inconsistent with Qiao Yuzhen's current feelings. She is recalling a bitter past. I am afraid that this sweet wine will not taste good after drinking it in her mouth.
Fu Hua said, "I think you miss the time you were together very much. If this is the case, why didn't you go to him?"
