At this moment, the scene in front of him became blurred in front of Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info It's just that he can't tell if they are shaking at the moment, or if his heart is shaking, as if there are countless overlapping images in front of his eyes like in the movie.

The characters and backgrounds have nothing to do with him, and those who turn their gaze to them are only transparent illusions, and the glowing scenery is a hazy undercurrent in the night haze, and the two dissolve together, depicting a symbolic world that transcends the mind.

He turned his head to look at Su Yuxi, and when the red light emitted by the red lantern was reflected on Su Yuxi's face, the indescribable beauty made Cheng Xiaoyu's soul almost tremble.

In this lonely world, we can find a reason to try to live, and we are happy.

Su Yuxi, who had just come back, pulled Cheng Xiaoyu to pay respects to the old man in full view of everyone, and the two of them stood out from the crowd, making everyone present look sideways.

With Su Yuxi by his side, Cheng Xiaoyu confidently and calmly said an auspicious word, the old man in his seventies, his eyes were already a little cloudy, because he had been injured in the war, and his ears were a little back. He took Cheng Xiaoyu's hand with his thin hand with old age spots, and said with great emotion: "It's really hard for you, it's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

There was no emotion between these words, which made Cheng Xiaoyu a little moved, because he could hear that this was not a cold cliché, but he didn't wonder where this emotion came from.

The three brothers of the Su family who were not far away had different expressions, and Su Changhe was a little relieved, but his expressions were very complicated. Su Changqing watched coldly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. And Su Changjun had a gloomy face, as if he could wring out the water.

The next Chinese New Year's Eve dinner opened, all kinds of delicacies were served, during the banquet, Su Yuxi pulled Cheng Xiaoyu to toast the old man, and when he sat to eat, Su Yuxi whispered to Cheng Xiaoyu some of the backbone of the Su family.

In addition to Su Changqing, as other core figures in the Soviet system, there is Tang Fenghui, who is Su Weilan's uncle and state councilor, and Su Dongshan's nephew Su Guangyao is the deputy mayor of Tianjin City, among which Tang Fenghui's qualifications are still above the second uncle Su Changqing.

In fact, at this time, the old man Su Dongshan is the real core figure of the Su family, but the old man is seventy-eight years old after all. If the old man leaves in two years and Su Changqing retreats to the second line, it is estimated that it will be difficult for the Su faction to maintain.

But no matter what the future holds, it is still booming at the moment, and the annual gathering is a rare opportunity for the Su family, especially the juniors of the Su family who have just started working or are about to go to work, to accumulate contacts, and Cheng Xiaoyu is just a full supporting role in the literary and artistic circles, and no one cares.

The people at the table left one after another, and followed their parents out to toast. No matter how close or sparse it is, this uncle and aunt shouted, if something comes to the door in the future, it is incense, as long as it is not too difficult to be, it can always not be refused.

The two brothers, Su Buyun and Su Weilan, also called Su Changqing over, and toasted Tang Fenghui, Su Guangyao and others separately.

Su Changhe obviously didn't mean to call Cheng Xiaoyu and Su Yuxi over, and the two of them also sat comfortably and didn't move. Although it was exactly what Cheng Xiaoyu meant, he was also thinking about whether Su Changhe did it because he didn't want Cheng Xiaoyu to be embarrassed or because he didn't want to be embarrassed.

Su Yuxi looked at this group of peacemakers expressionlessly, and said, "Some people say that the three generations of red who have broken away from the family are no different from the dogs who have been expelled from the house, most of them are mediocre people, and they have been pampered since childhood, but it is their background and education that give them the opportunity to be superior, even if they have no talent, they can achieve achievements that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve." Su Yuxi glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu and continued: "Remember what I told you? When you come to meet your parents, it means that you have made an appearance within the family, 'stepped on the stage', and there may be no room for withdrawal. In Su Yuxi's eyes, of course, there is a difference between his brother and these ordinary people, he is a person who can rise by himself.

Cheng Xiaoyu knew that he was not superior to these people, smiled silently, and said with emotion: "There is really no choice for such a thing. ”

Su Yuxi knew that Cheng Xiaoyu had a choice, he could choose to live a much freer life, but he still chose to tie himself to a heavy chain, because of her.

The daughters of high-ranking families are rich and noble, and there are corresponding responsibilities behind the glamorous life, and marriage is one of them, which is the task given to them by the family.

What two people are happy with, regardless of their birth status, and are willing to commit themselves to the poor, those are all plots that only appear in novels and TV. Even if they don't do it for themselves, they have to fight for their families and their future children.

Even if you really meet someone who likes to be desperate, willing to give up everything, to fight for your marriage rights, it is not enough to be content with poverty, but also to choose the person who can withstand the temptation, difficulty, oppression, ****.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if both parties are firm in the test and desperate to enter the marriage, it is equivalent to choosing a new life, the woman is bound to be expelled from the family, all privileges, glory and wealth have nothing to do with her, even the parents may not be able to recognize each other, in front of the huge family, the personal will is small.

This is the price of being born to enjoy everything, and the rights and duties are always reciprocal. If you want to break out of this shackle, there is only one way, and that is to be strong enough, strong enough to break free from the shackles of your origin.

Especially in the 30 years of China when this class was becoming more and more solidified, and in the 30 years of China when the gap between the rich and the poor was widening sharply, the magnates knew that whether the blessings could be extended to their descendants depended on the present dynasty, so they became more and more cautious, and the former noble sons of the poor family were just accidental meteors.

It must be recognized that the class fault line exists objectively, and the inheritance of intergenerational resources is inevitable, and if you want to enter the upper class, you can only earn a place in a new type of industry, such as the Internet, which has not yet been monopolized by the elite.

Even in the record industry, even if Cheng Xiaoyu has a huge advantage in sound source resources, it is impossible for him to create a "Shanghe" with a market value of hundreds of billions by himself with his bare hands.

This is an objective fact. In fact, there is not much time left for Cheng Xiaoyu, at most four or five years, he must be strong enough to match the Gu family.

The old man didn't stay in the yard for a long time, and went back to the room after enjoying the joy of family, Su Yuxi was pulled by the young juniors to take a group photo after eating, Su Yuxi is always more tolerant of children.

Approaching twelve o'clock, some stayed to watch the New Year, some went to see the fireworks, and some said goodbye and returned, the noisy courtyard gradually deserted, and the men in the center of power had their own things to discuss, while the women went to play mahjong.

Most of the juniors made an appointment to go to see the fireworks, but Su Yuxi excused herself too tired and turned down all the invitations, and Cheng Xiaoyu naturally wouldn't go.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know much about this courtyard except for staying in the wing room and going to the side hall to eat this day. Su Yuxi took Cheng Xiaoyu to take a stroll inside, and talked about some traces of life here, with a flat tone and no nostalgia. (BGM: "the.sky" () version, please search together with the version)

The two walked under the black canopy, with brilliant fireworks in the background, Su Yuxi calmly and slowly deconstructed the courtyard she knew: "From the largest Forbidden City, thousands of magnificent courtyards, to the smallest alley, like a sparrow-like courtyard, there are the same strict rules, from the main seat, the inverted seat, the east and west wings, it seems that there is a division of seats, a classification of respect and inferiority. Our Chinese rulers in all dynasties regarded the mansion architecture as an important part of the feudal hierarchy, and made specific and strict regulations on the establishment of various mansions. A courtyard house is actually a reflection of a social structure. ”

Su Yuxi looked at the Guangliang gate not far away, and said to Cheng Xiaoyu: "For example, there are many ways to say that the house door has a strict hierarchy in terms of the scale, form, decoration color, use of building materials, etc., so that the house door has become a symbol of the social and economic status of the house owner. This concept permeates the field of social life, and thus gives rise to the complex vocabulary of hierarchical concepts such as 'door', 'gate', 'sect', and 'portal', which still affect our lives today. ”

Su Yuxi, who was wearing a white down jacket and black jeans, stood up in the begonia tree and said: "You see, in the past, there were wealthy families living here, and now they are still living here. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu knew that Su Yuxi was actually the most disobedient person in her bones, for her, the rules were to be used, not to be followed, so it was natural for her not to like the courtyard, he smiled and said: "What you said is too serious, the sense of historical vicissitudes is too heavy, if I want to talk about the courtyard, I will say: just as when it comes to the Three Kingdoms, you will think of Zhuge Liang, and when you mention beauty, you will think of Xi Shi, and when you talk about the capital, you will naturally think of the courtyard of the capital." A courtyard house spans hundreds of years, has gone through centuries, and the people living in it have also spanned the Ming and Qing dynasties to modern times and then to contemporary times. It has gone through ups and downs, with the change of time, all kinds of characters have lived, and their stories are like a plate of chewy snacks, whether chewing or speaking, with such a distinct spicy energy. But they are all staging a real and wonderful show, spilling all the way with their own lives. They are all trying to use their own power to change the world and change their fate, but some have succeeded and some have failed. Time passes minute by minute, everything is a thing of the past, what is left? Under the light and shadow, the courtyard is still the same, and the people who have traveled through history have lived in the courtyard, started their different lives, and staged their different destinies. Look at that posture, it will be until the story of this world is exhausted. ”

"We're just one of those stories." Cheng Xiaoyu said.

Not far from the begonia tree is a rockery pond, but it is the middle of winter, only a few plastic lotus leaves float on it, the shade of the begonia tree in the winter of the courtyard is more quiet, when she was a child, she often looked at the bright red one or two carp, leisurely paddled the water like black jade, in a daze, that was the coolest memory of her childhood.

Su Yuxi looked at the pond and said: "When I was a child, I thought, for a pond fish, whether this shallow pond is its world, in this pond it can only go forward or backward, then its world is just a plane, when it jumps up from the pond, is it equivalent to transcending the limitation of dimensions, and briefly entering the three-dimensional world." Humans created the two-dimensional world of fish and lived outside of the world of fish, but what about outside of the three-dimensional world of man? ”

Cheng Xiaoyu paused for a moment, obviously Su Yuxi's question is very out-of-line, but as the self who can best prove the existence of a multi-dimensional world, Cheng Xiaoyu's heart is complicated, he remembers listening to the video of Hawking's "The New World of Membranes" in his memory, "You should know the membrane theory, in this time and space, the time we experience is straight forward, but outside of our time and space, from a perspective that can be said to be four-dimensional, time does not exist." If we can get to that angle, we will see that our space-time is like a plane, like a statue made of matter, where every place that matter has occupied overlapped, and our perception travels around our life like a cart on a track. Everything outside of our dimension, which is eternity, eternity looks down on us, and for us it is spherical, but to them (people outside of our space-time) it is a circle. Although only three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time are all we can see, I believe that there is a transcendent dimension in this world. ”

Su Yuxi looked up at the fireworks that exploded in the air, the background was dark, there were no stars tonight, she said: "M theory (membrane theory) is just a theory that has not yet been proven, the European collider is colliding, if it is found that the particle energy is really lost, it is squeezed into another dimension, the string theory has been preliminarily confirmed, there is indeed a curling dimension, but for now, M theory is just speculation, three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time are everything we see." So why should we believe that we can't recall the extra dimension of it that we can't observe? “

Cheng Xiaoyu was struggling with whether he should say the memory in his mind, he didn't know how he should say that he was proof, he realized that he was just a cheater, he relied on these to grab too many things that didn't belong to him, and now he couldn't lose these things, so he decided to keep his mouth shut and make himself perfect in Su Yuxi's heart, at this time Cheng Xiaoyu's mood was a little confused, a sense of shame was like a drop of ink falling into clear water, in an instant, it spread out, and the smoke became bigger and bigger, In the end, they twisted together in an instant, and then exploded together, and in a trance, Cheng Xiaoyu muttered: "We are just creatures enslaved by the illusion of 'self-consciousness', a product of the accumulation of perception and sensory experience. We are designed to believe 100% that we are someone, but in reality, we are none of us. ”

Su Yuxi was not surprised at all by Cheng Xiaoyu's sudden change of topic, she turned her head to look at Cheng Xiaoyu and thought for a few seconds and said, "I think our self-consciousness is an unfortunate mistake in the process of evolution. We have become too self-aware, and nature has created another side of itself, when according to the laws of nature, we should not exist. And the noblest thing we can do is to deny our premise, stop multiplying, hold hands and perish together, and at one last midnight, all of us will exit this unfair game together. ”

(It's a pity that there is no plot of pretending to be a big face that everyone is looking forward to, but in the upcoming new month, the climax is coming soon, so please look forward to it.) (To be continued.) )
