Chapter 39: Storytelling (2)
Seeing the tears in the corners of Dickens's eyes, a word suddenly jumped out of my heart: "iron man tenderness". Unexpectedly, such a resolute and rugged man also has a fragile and tender side. I've never heard Adams mention that.
After Dickens finished speaking, in order, it should be the turn of the old ghost to speak. The old ghost thought for a while, held back for a long time, and said, "I have nothing to say. I don't have a tragic background, and I don't have any great trauma. My life is quite normal. ”
"That's not good, everybody has to talk!" I said, "I really don't have to talk about it, just tell me how you pulled the pigtails of a little girl when you were in kindergarten." Pick what you're best at! ”
"Well, this is good. Why don't I tell you about the 'secret of picking up girls' and the 'art of the maid'? "The old ghost was reminded by me, and he came to the spirit at once.
"Go, no one wants to hear your tricks, it's not a serious way. It's either 'Overlord Hard Bow', or 'Psychedelic Water'. I said.
"It's just that we're not interested in your ****." Lisa echoed, "It's a shame that your father still called you 'Shi Hui', and 'Historical Glory', it's not bad if you don't 'leave a stink for 10,000 years'!" ”
"'Ten Thousand Years of Retention' is also a kind of reputation, right? At least be remembered! When the old ghost heard Lisa squeeze him, he said, "But when you say that, I think of something." That's where my name came from......"
The old ghost finally found a topic and began to talk about it endlessly. We don't know much about his real name, but we'd love to hear it.
The old ghost is a rich second generation, strictly speaking, it is a hidden rich third generation. Because his grandfather is a 'mysterious' character. In the old words, it is "a generation of famous warlocks who retired to the rivers and lakes, returned to the countryside, and never asked about the world again".
His name was given by his grandfather rather than by his father.
The old ghost's father is in the antique business, especially jade. The family has a collection of emerald jadeite, which is a coiled dragon jade pillar, which was handed down by his grandfather. On the day the old ghost was born, his grandfather passed the jade pillar to his father. At first, the old ghost's father wanted to name him "Shi Yuzhu", but his grandfather disagreed. and specially instructed the old ghost's father, no matter who asks in the future, he will never mention the matter of this dragon pillar.
When the old ghost's father saw his father say this, he felt very strange in his heart. However, my father didn't say it, and it was not easy for him to ask. I guess that one day, my father will tell me about it. In the end, the old man named the old ghost "Shi Hui", which means "the glory of history, the glory of the ancestors".
As the saying goes: "The next generation hurts, and the pain is more painful", the old man of the Shi family loves this eldest grandson in every way, and he loves him very much. Even if it is an unreasonable request, the old man of the Shi family agrees unconditionally. When the old ghost was young, he went to his grandfather whenever he had time. The old man of the Shi family likes to talk about history with the old ghost the most, and talk about the best rhymes when he was young.
The old man of the Shi family stayed abroad when he was young, and there were many stories, which are naturally endless. According to him, he has also soaked a few foreign girls, and that feeling is very cool. The old ghost has a bit of a personality trait that admires foreign charm, and it is somewhat influenced by the old man.
In addition to his own affairs, the old man likes to tell the old ghost history the most. He has his own unique views on the development of Chinese history. It can even analyze the reasons for the demise of various dynasties and the personality traits of the emperor. Of course, he also likes to tell the best rhymes about kings of all generations. That emperor is extravagant, that king likes to go shopping, and that lord and the people have illegitimate children...... He can give them all the treasures to point out.
The old ghost said that he liked history and had a lot to do with his grandfather. has been exposed to it since childhood, and naturally received a subtle influence. When choosing a major, it is also the main opinion of grandpa. In his old man's words, as a Chinese, you must understand Chinese history. Not to mention how proficient you are, at least to understand.
Not only the old ghost, but his father was also deeply influenced by the old man and became an antique dealer. Because of the very good knowledge of history, it is natural that starting an antiques business will also have a unique advantage. Naturally, it was smooth sailing, and he quickly became rich.
However, "weasel cubs, one generation is not as good as the next". When I got to the old ghost, I completely deviated from the direction. Although the old ghost has studied history, he doesn't do his job all day long, except for picking up girls is a game. In short, it looks like a barren academic product. The old ghost also famously said: "History is in the process of continuous reform, and we can't blindly abide by the old rules." 'Breaking the Four Olds' is the most important, and when it comes to me, I have to reform! ”
We saw that it was not a matter for the old ghost to go on like this, so we hurriedly interrupted him. He argued that he hadn't finished speaking, and what he said was still unfinished. I said, "President Shi, we have to consider the feelings of the public, and we can't blindly be egoistic." If you have something to say, we'll talk about it next time, ah. ”
The old ghost was helpless, so he shut up stupidly. Next, it was Lisa Wu's turn.
Lisa is a relatively simple person who doesn't have much planning for the future. In her words, it's a day to live. But to live each day well, it is useless to think about the future. Besides, the future is full of uncertainties, so it's better not to think about it. The road from her childhood to adulthood was paved for her by her family.
Of course, it was her grandparents' decision to major in archaeology. Lisa's grandparents are both professors who are engaged in research, and their style has always been rigorous, and their decisions on a matter are carefully considered. In their eyes, there is no distinction between unpopular and popular majors. Only if you are not proficient in learning, it is unpopular, it is because you are not in place. If you have learned that "no one has me, no one has me, and no one has me", there will naturally be countless people who can't grab you.
Hearing Lisa say this, the old ghost and I couldn't help but feel cold sweat on our backs, and our hearts were weak. I complained before that my major was not good and not popular enough. Her words simply gave us a resounding "big mouth".
Lisa said that her grandmother was a beautiful woman. Even though he is old now, he is still charming and beautiful. It's a pity that due to academic relations, I always run around the world, and my natural feelings are also relatively bumpy. In the end, after returning to China, when she was in the research institute, she was captured by her current grandfather.
At that time, in the institute, the two of them were the brightest stars. The men are talented and handsome, and the women are talented and beautiful. is a talented and beautiful woman, it is simply a match made in heaven. Soon, the two tied the knot and had a daughter, Lisa's mother.
Lisa's grandparents only had one child, her mother, and they all picked up the good side of their parents and inherited them. Combining wisdom, beauty and oneness, it is also a rare talent in national institutions.
Lisa's mother, I've met once, it's indescribably beautiful. The key is that she exudes a mature and charming charm from the inside out, but with a bit of intellectual charm. Even I, a "little young man", couldn't help but take a second look. It's not that I have any strange ideas, it's that she's so beautiful that I can't refuse.
"Your mom is so beautiful!" The old ghost suddenly interjected.
As soon as Lisa heard the old ghost comment on his mother, she was unwilling: "My mother is not beautiful, what does it matter to you?" ”
"I'm just talking about it, isn't it beautiful for people to say? It's ......," the old ghost argued.
"Hey, why did you two start pinching again?" I quickly interrupted them,
"He's right, your mother is beautiful! But, it has nothing to do with you! Let's not pinch, okay? I turned to Lisa, then to the old ghost, and finally to Toto, and said, "Now it's your turn." ”
