Chapter 167
Because of this incident, Yinxiang couldn't help but think that Julia and his fourth brother had such a close relationship, and even he couldn't leave any exclusive little secrets about his fourth brother.
Even the four Fujin, those side Fujin and Gege back then would not be like this.
He was not annoyed by this, but felt happy, because Yinxiang remembered the conversation he had with Yinzhen in the Little Red House a long time ago, when Yinzhen was extremely distressed because he couldn't understand Julia, and felt that there was a gap between the two, and he suspected that he would never be able to understand each other.
But now, the estrangement has disappeared, and this wonderful life course has given them a good opportunity that they didn't expect.
Even now, some of the topics they discussed were something that even Julia couldn't interject. For example, the recent discussion between Yinzhen and Brother Jiu about Bitcoin, what "mining" and what "block", Julia was confused, and when she asked some completely layman's questions, they laughed at her ignorance together......
Because she didn't understand, Julia left the table angrily, and she hated it: "The Qing Dynasty people shouldn't discuss this!" β
Brother Nine has found a job, and he got his wish, or he has no choice but to become a programmer. The work is very tiring, and Brother Jiu is the type of "I love my boss, I love the truth more", I haven't been on work for half a month, I quarreled with the product manager three times, and every day when I get home, he doesn't fall headlong on the sofa, muttering "If I find a bug again, I won't be surnamed Aixin Jueluo!" Or "Do you know who the most hateful person in the world is?" It's not Yongzheng, it's 'Party A'!"
In fact. Brother Jiu is very suitable for this job, his short-term memory is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and he can maintain a model in his brain for a long time. Brother Jiu's control over his brain is beyond ordinary people, as long as he needs to, he can turn his brain into a high-speed CPU, and put a huge system including data structures and algorithms into it. He even scoffs at certain methods of software engineering, such as design patterns, because in order to make the code understandable to novice or low-level programmers. In general, it is necessary to take various abstract approaches. to reduce the complexity of code units to prevent memory overflow.
Brother Jiu, this kind of stupid processing is not uncommon at all, he can put a large piece of program into his brain alive. Then it is handled with ease and without leakage. That's talent. Others. The eldest two couldn't catch up with him, and a colleague of Brother Jiu, who had dealings with Yinxiang, said to him with envy. "Your brother must have been made by your dad in C++!" Yinxiang rubbed his stomach and laughed for a long time.
But writing code is often a strong mental work for many hours in a row, and every time Brother Jiu comes back from the company with a yellow face, everyone knows that this poor child has stayed up all night.
He once lay on the sofa and cried and scratched the sofa: "Fourth brother, don't change my name to 'Seth Black' in the future, just change your name to 'Programmer' - Huang Ama!" Your sons are programmers! Can it not die in this Qing Dynasty! β
He was howling there, and the kitten Putin jumped on his back and began to habitually "cat stepping on milk", the cat's paws had not been cut for a long time, and he screamed when he stepped on it, and even cried that even such a small thing knew that he was stepping on his position, so he was the most bullied member of the family.
But Brother Jiu didn't want to stay in the technical part, although soon after, he was admitted to the software engineer.
He likes to do business, he has been interested in business since he was in the Qing Dynasty, although he is a programmer, Brother Jiu has not given up other ways to make money, this person is particularly investment-minded, the four earned money in the family are all handed over to him to manage money, ensuring that you only make money and do not lose, and the profits have doubled.
Everyone even agreed that Brother Jiu's ability to make money is already a physiological instinct, the stock market is full of mourning, the market is miserable, and the shareholders next door are queuing up to go to the rooftop. According to Brother Jiu's words: If you are not greedy, you can get more money.
"Don't be superstitious about any 'policy market'. All that is needed is sufficient technical analysis, and strict rules of operation - if you don't follow the rules you set, you will be no different from the aunt who takes the money to the stock market. β
Julia secretly thought that this family was about to go to the top rich, one would earn, and the other would save (Yinzhen), and in two years, the family's money would have to be piled up.
However, just like making a lot of money like this, Brother Jiu is still not satisfied, he has a very grand goal in his heart, to engage in e-commerce, to be a stronger company than Alibaba.
Brother Jiu made up his mind: to make money, you have to find another way, you can't follow the trend, and following the trend is doomed to failure.
Therefore, he wants to find a path that is difficult for ordinary people to think of and difficult to find, but he will make a profit without losing money.
To this end, Jiu Ah Ge worked tirelessly, in addition to his daily work, he also spent a lot of time planning and looking for opportunities everywhere. He knew that he was really starting from scratch this time, and the road was difficult, but he didn't care, he firmly believed that he would still succeed.
As for what kind of e-commerce he wants to engage in, others don't know for the time being, but everyone agrees that this e-commerce must be related to men.
Yin Zhen said this first, at first he joked, saying that if Lao Jiu wants to make money, he should make money from men, otherwise it will not be wasted with such a strong natural attraction?
There were too many jokes, and it gradually turned into an expectation, and everyone agreed that the "big business" that Brother Jiu did this time must be related to men.
In order to make money, Brother Nine even started the idea of Brother Ten, because Brother Ten currently has a large number of fans.
As Yinxiang said last time, Brother Ten himself doesn't plan to be a cartoonist, he has been working hard, and he has recently started to paint oil paintings. But occasionally, Brother Ten will also draw some cartoons and put them on his own cyberspace at will.
Brother Shi's style is very weird, he can draw two completely different styles, one is the obvious girly dream style. The clear water droplets like jade chess pieces, the transparent and round flowers like agate, the cunning fat clouds like the cat's face, the polite green insects with hats, the extremely cute men and women with round heads and round brains, the little tigers like pigs, the white rabbits with the faces of old men, and the obscene and funny dogs...... Not only is the picture beautifully handled, but he can also combine these elements in unexpected ways. Forming attractive plot clashes. Then it turned into a very interesting fantasy comic, such as "Yongzheng vs. Blue Road Sect Master" - this cartoon made everyone in the family laugh breathlessly.
Only Yinzhen was very angry.
β¦β¦ Now, he is afraid of the secret of McDonald's millet that everyone in the world knows.
I discovered this talent of my younger brother. Brother Jiu was surprised again. Confused again: Brother Ten is actually very boring. is different from Yinzhen's boredom caused by hostility, Brother Shi's boredom is mainly due to the fact that the constituent factors of his life are only the three main tones of "eating, drinking, and sleeping". There is no nobler pursuit at all. According to Yinzhen's words, the height of Brother Shi's soul is also to the level of garlic, maybe the garlic who is competitive and loves to fight in the community dog pen is better than him.
Brother Nine has been with him since he was a child, and he is his own brother, so he didn't feel annoying to this guy, and if he changed someone else, he usually couldn't stand Brother Ten if he stayed for two days.
Why is the comic drawn by such a boring person so interesting? What universe did he get this ability from? Brother Jiu thought, could it be that he crackled and hit him some time ago and opened his brain?
At first, Brother Ten was just drawing for fun, and he didn't think about charging for it when he posted it on the Internet, but soon many people liked his paintings, and his ID became popular, and later, the editor of the comic magazine came to the door.
But the other style of works painted by Ten Elder Brother is quite weird and indescribable, saying that cyberpunk is not like cyberpunk, and saying that Chinese style is not Chinese style, I don't know how to classify it.
For example, in one painting, the main body is a high-rise building, but the appearance of the high-rise building is more like a giant monster bent over, the elevator is the monster's rows of steel teeth, and the blood-red light radiates from the monster's body, like countless one-eyed hideous eyes looking at the sky. At the top of the monster building, it is like a sacrificial place like the Temple of Heaven, groups of Qing Dynasty people seem to be worshipping the sky, eunuchs and ministers, everyone's face, is as sluggish and festive as a mask, their bodies are round and long and lack edges and corners, only the limbs are thin and curved like hooks. They held a large, fat baby in an embroidered five-clawed golden dragon's belly pocket high and wanted to place it on the throne, but in the glittering golden chair there was a bottomless black well, and the armrests of the chair were just wells. At the bottom of the picture, a chubby baby walks out of a monster-like tall building, wearing a suit with a tie and a briefcase in his hand, listless, and sleepy as he walks towards the bus stop...... The baby's head and torso are separated, their heads are flat, and they are computer monitors.
The background of the picture, at first glance, looks like a crab blue before dawn, but if you look closely, it is covered with a layer of transparent and luminous virtual net, the virtual net is three-dimensional, the constituent elements are not lines, but it is built with Manchu, Tibetan, Chinese characters, English and other curved characters, Julia can't understand, she asked Yinzhen, do these words have meaning? Yin Zhen stared at some of them and studied them carefully, only to realize that it was the Vajrasattva mantra. "A kind of sutra." He explained to Julia, "The Dharma of Purifying Sins is recited to eliminate karma. β
"Karma?" Julia was even more confused, "Does Lao Shi feel that he has sins to be removed?" β
Yin Zhen thought for a long time, and then said hesitantly: "Maybe he is not referring to himself, but in a broader sense...... For example, the whole country, the whole ...... Ethnicity? Well, I can't tell. The topic is too heavy. β
This painting is very strange, Brother Ten handles every detail flawlessly, even the supplemental uniforms of those Qing Dynasty officials are painted without mistakes, that way, quite a bit of Mughal miniature painting style, but the picture feels not magnificent or warm at all, plus mottled and dazzling, the combination is very dazzling color, which makes people feel particularly uncomfortable, it seems to penetrate some things that people instinctively want to avoid.
Yinzhen said that the painting is full of "great rebellion". He said that he was rebellious, not to blame his younger brother, these four words were just Yinzhen's intuition. Because the name of this painting is actually "Son of the Dragon".
Brother Nine said that this portrait was a nightmare, and said that this was the end of Brother Ten watching too many ghost movies. Don't look at the late-night stalls in the future. Yinxiang had a headache when he saw this painting, as if he had been spelled, he felt that the color alone was very aggressive, and he was about to vomit after ten more seconds.
Julia asks Brother Ten what this painting means and what does he want to express? Brother Ten looked confused and said, "I don't know, what do you think?" What does this thing mean? β
As soon as he asked like this, everyone was confused, and Yinzhen said, you painted it yourself. You come and ask us?
Brother Ten said in frustration: "I just can't say it." I just asked you. Don't you understand? β
Yinzhen had to say that he really couldn't understand this painting, he only felt uncomfortable looking at it, and even felt scared, just like Yinxiang said. Even the colors are frightening.
Brother Ten was a little disappointed. He originally expected Yinzhen to be like a psychiatrist. calmly gave him a clear analysis of the book, but he didn't expect that even the most knowledgeable Yinzhen couldn't tell the meaning of this painting.
But then he thought about it again. Nodding his head, he said: "I also feel uncomfortable and scared, it seems that this is also a kind of understanding, and it is okay to achieve this level of resonance." β
Brother Jiu was confused: "So you want readers to be uncomfortable with you?" Why do you feel uncomfortable and scared to draw? I thought you drew for pleasure. β
"That's right. It's because I'm uncomfortable and scared that I want to draw it! Don't the ninth brother understand? β
"And what exactly are you uncomfortable with and afraid of?"
"I don't know. It's because I don't know that I want to draw it. β
"But you still don't know!!"
"But if you don't draw it, you won't know!"
Brother Ten had a natural expression, as if what he said was very logical.
So Brother Jiu was even more confused, what kind of composition is his younger brother's brain!
This kind of painting can't be sold for money, and the style of it and the commercial paintings sold by Brother Ten is too inconsistent, and if you really want to take it out, you have to frighten his fans. However, Brother Ten didn't plan to make them public, so he only painted them secretly, locked them in the hard drive after painting, and showed them to his family at first, but later found that even his family didn't understand him, and Brother Ten stopped showing them to anyone.
Later, everyone discussed this matter in private, and they felt that maybe they hadn't really understood Brother Ten all along, this guy didn't just eat, drink and sleep, and his heart was not completely empty, but this "not completely empty" heart was too unusual for Yinzhen and them, and it was too difficult to understand, and even Brother Ten himself was confused. It was precisely because they couldn't understand or even felt rejected that they labeled Brother Ten as inferior, so as to get things done. And Brother Ten is cowardly and has no strong self-awareness, so he habitually accepts these foreign labels, and he really feels like a waste.
The problem with Brother Ten is that the channels of expression used by ordinary people are all blocked in his place, such as logic and language like Yinzhen, appearance and physical behavior like Yinxiang, software code and financial symbols like Brother Jiu, and even studies like Julia...... These, for the tenth elder brother, is like a teapot full of dumplings, no matter how rich the inner world is, he can't pour it out, so others habitually think that the tenth elder brother "this can't do that either", he is a waste egg.
It seems that Brother Ten can only use special means such as painting or wrestling to show his vitality, and the reason why court painting did not work for him at first is also because the style of classical court painting has caused great constraints to Brother Shi, and he can't show himself in such a cramped pattern.
If he hadn't found a new means of expression and let the vitality flow, Brother Ten might have spent his whole life in a state of "teapot full of dumplings" like him in the history books.
"But if this continues, will he be schizophrenic?" Yin Zhen worried, "I think those paintings look crazy......"
Julia couldn't help laughing: "Don't think about it, people are artists, they must be different." β
At that time, the two were booking air tickets, and Yinzhen was going on a business trip this weekend.
Julia also went with her, but she booked another hotel, she played by herself during the day, and after finishing work at night, Yinzhen came to find her again.
In the past six months, they have often dated like this: they drive out on the weekend and come back on Monday.
The rest of the family knew about it. That trip back from Beijing, they were already like this.
Besides, other people are not lonely, they all have a place to go.
Yinxiang often doesn't go home for three days, although he doesn't have a fixed girlfriend at the moment, but there seem to be several ambiguous objects, Julia has seen some of them, and secretly thought, it turns out that the thirteenth elder brother is really Lolicon. The girls were young, some were still in college, and they were all thin and small. Like a canary. But they were all beautiful. The face is like an apple, the lips are like peach petals, and the skin is so tender that you can't even see the pores of sweat, which is so cute that it can't be more lovely. Yinxiang is a bit "floating" in this regard. It is not easy to fix. And he had a very solemn talk with Yinzhen. said that he did not plan to get married, not only now, but also in the future. He said he was single.
Yin Zhen was shocked and thought, is this a must-end? What's the matter!
Although his brain has been washed away by the tide of the times, he still can't agree with the fact that he doesn't get married, and he thinks that preaching "singleism" and "Dinkism" is more terrible than preaching "expelling the Tartars" and "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring sight" - the latter he can still understand why, why don't get married and don't have children?
However, Yinxiang's attitude is very resolute, no matter how Yinzhen persuades, he is determined that he will take this road.
Brother Jiu's girlfriend only appeared after he got a job, which can be called "difficult brothers" for Brother Nine and Brother Thirteen, and they also change girlfriends as often as changing clothes, and Yinzhen is always suspicious, looking at Lao Jiu like this, there may be no drama in this life, because when he mentions marriage, he will "hahaha", it is not like a serious discussion at all, and the two of them also laughed at Yinzhen's dedication to marriage, laughed at him for his lack of security, and said that Yinzhen was suffocated.
Brother Jiu's girlfriends, according to Julia's words, are like walking down from fashion magazines, the standard is, big breasts, long legs, beautiful figure, and facial features like a soul-snatching mermaid in the deep sea, specializing in seducing panicked sailors. Julia had the pleasure of sitting with one of them for half a cup of coffee. The woman had dandelion-curly blonde hair, a dark blue low-cut, short-sleeved sweater dress that showed off a thin waist, and the stripes of the sweater were like vines, crawling over her breasts and hips, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow...... On the pendant, the golden cross is sunk in the snow-white cleavage. Her teeth were white and thin, her eyes were graceful, her face was as bright as a peach and plum, she laughed happily, and her wonderful figure made Julia think a little: if she bit a peach branch in her mouth, it would be enough to be on the cover of Playboy.
But the cover girl only drank half a cup of coffee and left, because Brother Jiu had changed his clothes and wanted to go out with her. When the figure disappeared, even the smell of LancΓ΄me's perfume disappeared into the air, and Julia was still holding her coffee, staring at the door with a blank expression.
"How the hell did he get to know people?" She sighed and asked Brother Shi, who simply sang loudly: "Pretty Miss, I don't believe it." You don't have half a man with you......"
It's not scientific! Julia angrily thinks that programmers shouldn't have girlfriends! I shouldn't have such a beautiful girlfriend!
Only Brother Ten has never had a girlfriend, because everyone has it, but he doesn't, so the rest of the people are also very anxious for him and give him tips one after another.
Brother Jiu said that in fact, it is very easy to chase girls. First of all, you have to find a way to get her interested in you, such as who you are.
"Of course, you can't just open your mouth and say that my father is the emperor, then it is too sincere, and it is impossible for people to believe it." Brother Jiu earnestly taught his younger brother, "You just say, my ancestors were hunting, where is there still hunting now?" When people hear it, they say, 'It's fun!' 'Look, isn't that just a conversation?' β
The tenth elder brother said stupidly: "Come on!" It's okay to look at your face in this matter? I said the same thing last time, but they said, go wash up! No wonder it smells! β
Brother Jiu was taken aback: "How could it be this reaction?" I've never encountered this kind of reaction! β
"That's why I said it was a face!" The tenth elder brother was even more angry, "Brother Jiu is like this, even if he says that his ancestors are asking for food, those girls will say: It's so interesting!" β
Brother Nine was at a loss: "Really? I thought it was a common approach for everyone. β
Tenth Elder Brother glared at him dejectedly: "Brother Nine, you! I can't understand the suffering of the majority of single dogs! β
Brother Jiu thought silently for a while, and suddenly asked, "Is there a big gap between your face and mine?" β
Brother Ten was about to cry when he asked him.
Yinxiang said that Brother Jiu is a typical "why not eat minced meat". After all, not everyone can be like Brother Jiu, even if he stops at the bus station for five minutes, there will be women (more men) who will come up to talk.
He felt that he should teach Brother Ten some more practical means of pursuing the opposite sex.
"For example, if the two of them go out together, the girl says, if you want to eat ice cream, buy an ice cream! At this point, you should take her to HΓ€agen-Dazs and order her an ice cream fondue. β
Brother Ten was stunned when he heard this: "But didn't she say she wanted to eat ice cream?" β
Yinxiang hated that iron could not become steel: "She said she wanted to eat ice cream." Are you really going to buy her a five-piece ice cream? Oh my silly brother! You have to do that. No next time! You'll have to exaggerate her demands! You want to! The two of you have known each other for a short time, even if they want to, they will not directly propose to eat such expensive things, this is people are reserved. But what about you. You have to surprise someone. Give her a better response. So. Look, Brother Shi, she will remember the feeling of these surprises, and she will associate these surprises with you as a person. Next ......"
"Next time she wants a surprise, she'll come to me again?" Brother Ten snorted, "Then how much do I have to spend!" β
Yinxiang couldn't cry or laugh: "Even if you buy her an ice cream hot pot, how much can it be worth?" I can't bear this cost, so what kind of girl are you chasing! β
Brother Ten thought silently in his heart, and then raised his head: "So, I have to always prepare a voucher for group purchases?" β
In front of Yinxiang's eyes, the scene of Brother Ten lying in front of the cash register, muttering, counting coupons one by one, suddenly appeared.
β¦β¦ This image collapsed too completely, Yinxiang secretly thought, it is better to let him buy a piece of five-dollar ice cream.
"Even if it's a group purchase, I don't think it's worth it." Brother Ten said again, "Last time, Brother Nine took me to eat HΓ€agen-Dazs, and all the ice cream hot pot belonged to me, I didn't think it was enough, and you still asked me to buy ice cream hot pot for others?" Why! She is a fairy in the nine heavens? β
Later, Yinxiang privately told Brother Nine that Brother Ten was hopeless. "His mental age is still in the state of a young child, he has not reached puberty, and he doesn't even want to share ice cream with others, how can he find a girlfriend? My tenth brother is like this, no different from the little boys in the kindergarten who push the little girl aside in order to fight for toys. β
Because Brother Nine and Yinxiang are both contributing, Yinzhen also wants to give some advice to Brother Ten, but as soon as he spoke, Brother Ten hurriedly waved his hand and said no.
"Fourth brother, your opinion is worthless."
Yin Zhen was furious when he heard this: "Why is my opinion worthless?" β
"You're all theoretical, and you lack practical experience." Brother Ten said, "You only have one girlfriend, Julia, and you didn't know how to hit it, you should be glad that Julia hasn't dumped you yet, otherwise you wouldn't even have this girlfriend." β
Yin Zhen was even more angry: "Do you think that without her, I won't be able to find a second girlfriend!" β
Unexpectedly, the tenth elder brother nodded: "I really think so." If you don't believe it, fourth brother, you try. β
ββ¦β¦β
"Forget about the moves." Brother Ten sighed, "Fourth brother, your IQ is high, I admit it, your IQ is twice as high as mine." But when it comes to emotional intelligence, especially when it comes to love intelligence, our brothers are probably inseparable. Just like this, let's discuss this kind of thing together, what can we discuss? β
"Who said that my love quotient is low!"
"Look, it's not as good as me, but I still admit that I have a low love quotient, fourth brother, you don't even know that your love quotient is low - how low you are."
Brother Ten said this, Yinzhen was very depressed, and Yinxiang next to him listened to it straightforwardly.
"Who said that our fourth brother can't find a girlfriend? No way! As long as the fourth brother discloses his identity, there will definitely be many girls crying and shouting to marry the fourth brother! β
The tenth elder brother pouted: "I don't have a car or a house, I can't even afford a bathroom with a deposit in my name, my temper is so bad, and my speech is so poisonous." With him like this, what is the use of making his identity public? Even if you pounce on it, wait for half a year to see it, and you will definitely run away. β
The ninth elder brother said, this is not good, you can't just let the tenth elder brother go to his girlfriend by himself, his range of friends is limited, we have to help! Especially Yinzhen, there are so many female subordinates in the unit, is it possible to contact Brother Shi? And there are so many female classmates in Juilliard's school, can't you introduce one to Brother Ten?
Yinxiang said, isn't Brother Jiu also working? Aren't there any female colleagues? Brother Nine was angry and said, how can a programmer have a female colleague!
Yin Zhen said that there are a lot of female subordinates, as long as ten elder brothers are willing to cut their braids, he promises to arrange fourteen blind dates for him seven days a week.
Julia is also worried, she has a lot of single female classmates, and because Yinzhen always goes to school to pick her up, those female classmates are also eager to try, asking her, does her boyfriend have any brothers and brothers at home? Since Yinzhen is so handsome, the brother will not be far behind.
Julia sighed secretly, Brother Ten is indeed not bad in all aspects, but how can she introduce it? His Qing Dynasty braids, how can she explain it to her classmates?
In the end, Yinxiang introduced one to Brother Shi, who is in the entertainment industry, has a wide range of knowledge, and doesn't care about hairstyles, but people say that there are two conditions: one is to be handsome and can take it out, and the other is to have a car, and to travel the world in the future. Brother Ten is handsome enough, but he doesn't have a car, he can't even drive, this is definitely not good.
When Yinzhen learned about it, he scoffed, he said, why should that woman find a boyfriend? Just go and buy a set of Chinese chess: there is a handsome, a car, and two cannons to play!
So the tenth elder brother had no choice but to continue to be single, but he himself was not in a hurry at all, and always said, why should the eldest husband have no wife!
So his friends are only five big and three rough, smiling wrestlers (male) and unkempt painters (male) who can never wake up - the two kinds of friends have in common: they always come to Brother Ten to borrow money at the end of the month, and every time they come, the refrigerator at home is so empty that they can't find a single biscuit.
Later, with the expansion of the scope of Brother Shi's career, there were editors who urged him to draw manuscripts, claiming that if he didn't deliver the manuscript on time, he would hang himself at the door of his house...... All of them are men. Yin Zhen even carefully observed that within a week, only the two daughters had spoken to Brother Shi, one was Julia, and the other was the aunt of the community downstairs.
This observation made Yinzhen secretly sad, and at the same time, he was secretly happy.
Anyway, he still has a Julia, and he finally didn't fall into the miserable situation of not even having a girlfriend.
At this point, Brother Jiu's rotten peach blossoms have finally been transferred to Brother Ten in this weird way - Brother Ten is so busy that he has no time to find a girlfriend. (To be continued.) )
