(17) Their stories
In the past few years, Su Mu has been to many places, and everywhere he goes, Su Mu will definitely go, it must be a well-known local cultural and creative store or bookstore, as well as a museum.
Su Mu also has a soft spot for museums, from the Forbidden City, the National Museum, to museums in various places, as long as Su Mudao goes to the city, she must check in, and she will definitely do her homework before that, from the tour to the exhibits, Su Mu will inquire about some information in advance.
Otherwise, if there is no tour guide, I really can't understand it.
That's the worst thing.
In Su Mu's view, the historical significance of cultural relics is not only to record the skills of that era, or to represent the aesthetics of that era, but more importantly, to the traces of dynastic changes precipitated by time on it. Some people may think that these things are just some broken copper and iron, clay and rubble, to put it bluntly, they are all obsolete things, and there is no commemorative significance, and some people will say that those exquisite national treasures are now just showing how extravagant the royal family was at that time, and the things that were so oppressed by the people should not be respected at all. But thankfully, most of the people Su Mu saw in the museum had a kind of respect and appreciation for these artifacts.
But it's a pity that Su Mu sometimes can't be with these people, because when she encounters some cultural relics that are very special to Su Mu, she will probably become a fool.
This has to mention Su Mu's experience when he first went to Subo.
At that time, Su Mu was particularly obsessed with the stories of the four beauties, and the men related to these four beauties, Su Mu was more interested than one another, and because these men would involve other men, so for a long time, Su Mu just studied these men, and she was tired of studying, completely forgetting that she was interested in them because of these women.
But speaking of which, liking this thing is also divided into degrees, for example, these four beauties can also be discharged in Su Mu's heart, and the top of the list has been the girl who has been yarn by the river for so many years-Xi Shi.
Su Mu's liking for Xi Shi really had no reason, so much so that she once thought that if she went back to the past and became a monarch, she might go even more too far than King Zhou You. But in addition to liking it, Su Mu is more curious about Xi Shi, in the past few years, she has been thinking about whether she loves more or hates more when she stays by Wu Wangfucha's side in Xi Shi's heart.
And because of the existence of this problem, Su Mu also became very interested in Wu Wangfucha. She searched for all kinds of stories to read, always looking for an answer. So she found that the brutal monarch had never thought that he would inherit such a great hatred when he ascended the throne, and he had naively thought that revenge after revenge would be exchanged for the destruction of the country.
It seems to be a bit too much to say that it is a matter of repaying grievances with virtue, after all, in fact, at the beginning of the war, some things began to change. Maybe at the beginning, the husband was really a child who only wanted to avenge his father, but when the killing and power were inflicted on him, his ambition and revenge were no longer just revenge. He had bigger and more cruel ideals, so he took it for granted that his defeated generals would always be defeated, and that he could defeat him once, and he could defeat him a second time.
So Gou Jian had a chance, so he lost Wu Zixu, who was as ruthless as him but more sophisticated.
Su Mu didn't know how to describe Wu Zixu as a person, and of course, he didn't need her evaluation. But then again, when Su Mu knew that Wu Zixu was dead and said that she would gouge out his eyes and hang them on the east gate, and he must watch the destruction of the Wu Kingdom, she felt a shudder.
And this shuddering is not only because of his hatred, but also because of the determination of the husband.
Maybe such a person has a deep resentment towards death, so I don't know if he saw it after Wu Guo was really destroyed, and whether he clapped his hands underground.
Well, mentioning these is a bit off-topic, to get back to the point, when Su Mu came, he happened to catch up with Wu Wangfu in the exhibit to wear a sword, when Su Mu saw this sword, her crying physique made her burst into tears on the spot, so excited that she couldn't even speak.
She had imagined in her mind the countless love and love between Xi Shi and this man, but the Guanwa Palace had disappeared, and there was no trace of it, except for this iconic thing, there was nothing that could witness their feelings.
Although Su Mu still didn't determine what happened between the two of them after seeing this sword, nor did she figure out what kind of feelings Xi Shi had for her husband, this sword was like a symbol, giving her the meaning to continue to seek. It was as if it was proving to her that what she was looking for was what history had ever existed, that it was either completely over, gone, or lost all meaning.
So she was so excited that she completely ignored her image and cried for a long time in the museum like a fool.
In the eyes of many people, it doesn't make any sense for Su Mu to do this kind of thing. First of all, she is not a historian, and secondly, she is not a student of conservation, and it is a waste of time, energy and resources to spend time researching these things. Su Mu has never debated with these people, and she has participated in the whole process by herself, but even so, when someone heard that she was researching these things, they felt that she was really wasting time, and it was better to think that it would have a practical effect if she made money.
Su Mu has always believed in this truth, so she never explained, nor did she do too much Amway and recommendation, and even about the fact that she liked the two of them, Su Mu never mentioned it to others.
But it didn't delay her liking at all.
However, in addition to this incident, there is also a very embarrassing thing that Su Mu did not prepare for that time, so she didn't know a lot of things, so that she didn't know much about anything other than this sword and calligraphy and painting, and this time she went again to facilitate her to deepen her impression.
There are not many museums that can make Su Mu want to go to the second time, except for the Forbidden City, the National Museum and the Tea Museum, the Suzhou Museum is the most memorable for Su Mu. And speaking of which, apart from the tea museum, which is built on the mountain, in Su Mu's eyes, the most designed and local museum is the Suzhou Museum.
The black and white color scheme, with a simple and generous line design, outlines a courtyard that integrates ancient and modern times and has a great sense of design, coupled with the playful decoration on the wall, the lotus pond in the center, so that this simplicity and coldness add just the right amount of liveliness and bright colors, so it shows a sense of style in the overall situation, and extremely exquisite in the details, which makes people forget to return to this design alone.
This is where there is hardly any other museum other than the Forbidden City that can surpass its advantages.
Perhaps it is because the word "design" in "garden design" is deeply imprinted in the minds of these designers, so they designed such a distinctive museum. And it was precisely because of this that Su Mu especially wanted Ling Feng to come and take a look with her, so that he could see how powerful these people she liked.
And this time, Su Mu deliberately wore Hanfu.
The reason why Su Mu went to the museum was not only to see these cultural relics, but more importantly, she actually wanted to take this opportunity to go to school for some inspiration for writing. For someone like her, who is particularly fond of history and likes to write little essays and stories, museums are simply the best place to be facing. The stories contained under these artifacts, as well as the stories they have witnessed, are all the best materials for writing short stories.
Although it is impossible for Su Mu to know what they found at that time and what they witnessed, and even the historical records and folk wild histories are not accidentally true, but when she sees these things, her inspiration will still rush wildly.
This is actually the reason why Su Mu prefers to go to museums, because here, in the long river of time, Su Mu has an endless stream of motivation and inspiration to support her to continue these things she likes.
In fact, maybe it's because of the talent, Su Mu is not very outstanding in this regard, he just likes to write these things, and there are many times when the things she wants to express can't be expressed by relying on her writing skills, but even so, Su Mu never thought of giving up.
It's just a hobby, there's no need to force yourself, if even the hobby makes you full of pressure, then there is no joy in this person's life, Su Mu is a person who is used to enjoying life, if she wants to live so tired, it is even more uncomfortable than killing her, it is better to stick to your heart, don't care about the eyes of the world and the people around you, and only fulfill your own liking.
When Su Mu took Ling Feng here, he didn't actually say much to Ling Feng, and even the last time he was in this museum, Su Mu didn't tell Ling Feng about it. She herself didn't know what was going on, because according to her personality in the past, she couldn't wait to express these things to Ling Feng word for word when she first found out. So this time was the same, before coming here, she didn't say a word to Ling Feng, and she didn't tell him what kind of feelings she had for Xi Shi and Fucha.
She didn't bother to argue with others about what kind of feelings Xi Shi had for her husband. Because this is a difficult problem to verify, and most people are more inclined to the purpose of Xi Shi to go to Fucha's side, just hoping to use only his own beauty to tempt Fucha, and at the same time cooperate with Gou Jian to bring down Fucha and win back their royal power. Of course, Su Mu agrees with the existence of this situation, but if she puts aside her reason, she is more inclined to Xi Shi to the end and likes Fucha.
Although the misguided country is a misguided country, I have to admit that Fucha's favor for Xi Shi has reached an extreme situation. How could a person like him not have a little scheming, thinking that Xi Shi was a beauty simply sent by Gou Jian, so he just wanted to be his woman wholeheartedly, and had no other ideas. But even if he knew Xi Shi's intentions, he didn't treat her differently because of her identity.
Oh, no, this sentence is a little bit not rigorous, of course he treats him differently, because in terms of pampering Xi Shi, he can almost do everything he can, he gave Xi Shi an imperial love, and also gave Xi Shi the love of an ordinary man, if in this case, in fact, can still maintain her own heart, Su Mu feels that she is also an extremely admirable existence. But at the same time, his character looks even more pathetic.
Therefore, Su Mu always felt that although the fire in Guanwa Palace ended Fucha's life, it also saved Xi Shi's life. If she had actually been living in the tenderness of her husband, it would undoubtedly be a kind of torture for her, and no one knew whether she had died in that fire or not, and if she could disappear into that fire with Wu Wangfucha, it would be a real happiness for him. Because at least in this way she can get rid of the hatred of the family and the country, and only be herself, you are a woman, and you can calmly accept her husband's favor for her.
There are countless examples of women being traded for victories in history. The four beauties don't need to be mentioned, and in addition to them, there are too many women who sacrifice in the rights of men. They have no right to pursue happiness, and even the right to live is in the hands of men, perhaps because of this, after a long, long time, women began to work hard for their rights.
Su Mu has always wished that she would live without relying on anyone, and she has always felt that all her own things should be in her own hands. It wasn't until Ling Feng appeared that she found out that in terms of feelings. In fact, the two sides suppressed each other. No one is the one who wins the absolute victory, and even in terms of feelings, there is no victory or defeat at all. Their existence itself needs to rely on each other and depend on each other, and if you put this aside, then such feelings will never be solid. And it is precisely because of this discovery that Su Mu feels more and more how great those women who sacrifice themselves for the war and the country are. At the same time, it made Su Mu feel that they should have a better ending of their own, even if it only existed in her pen and in the eyes of readers.
So in the past few years, Su Mu has been looking for similar materials, hoping that he can make up a dream that belongs to them, and this is one of the important reasons why Su Mu lingers in major museums.
