As the three young people successively talked about the theme of the "Peony Pavilion", Bai Wenyu smiled with satisfaction:

"I thought you young people couldn't stand it, and I wanted to tell you what this play was going on on the podium, but it's right to think about it, Ai Qing is a top student at Hong Kong University, and Xiao Wen and Tian naturally specialize in this, it seems that I really underestimated you."

Bai Wenyu didn't know, the three of them didn't just understand, just like the couplet, there is nothing to do now, there are often people in the play.

The play "The Peony Pavilion" is not an exaggeration to say that it is a microcosm of the projection experience between them.

He Tianran looked at the trance of Wen Liang with some concern, knowing that she had a strong empathy with the characters in the play at the moment, the boy's brain center was spinning, and then he smiled at his mother and added:

"Ah Liang is right, it is indeed the place of love, the golden stone is open, Du Liniang was finally able to return to her soul, come back from the dead, marry Liu Mengmei, and love for a lifetime, it is really the best example of a lover who eventually becomes a family, although the process is tortuous, but under the backdrop of the happy ending, the pain and injury in the middle are more touching and precious."

Wen Liang knew that her boyfriend was deliberately using the past as a metaphor for the present, this kind of heart that can only be felt between lovers, instantly made a warm current rise in the girl's heart, and her whole body was warm.

However, she is not the only one who is quite touched by the story on stage.

He Tianran didn't make any mistakes in supplementing this play, but he just said from his mouth that there was a lover who would eventually become a family and the ending would be happy, which made Cao Aiqing have a feeling of irritability in his heart that was completely opposite to Wen Liang.

He was the least qualified person to say such a thing.

However, at the moment, Cao Aiqing does not plan to use the topic to play, as she said before, she came to participate in this family banquet, not to be jealous, but to see the true face of "He Tianran".

Although Cao Aiqing hates He Tianran, who has been secretly harming her life, it is undeniable that he also gave him the opportunity to travel through time and space, and now the girl is facing the collision of two kinds of thinking and memory, love and hate have become unbalanced and deformed, and she must find a solution.

Because, this is the best way to protect "yourself".

Although there is still rejection, in this sea of overlapping and entangled years, He Tianran is indeed her only coordinate.

Recognize him, and then refine yourself.

This is much more important than love.

When Bai Wenyu listened to his son's words, the smile on his face froze slightly, but he quickly returned to normal.

Cao Aiqing captured this detail, why did Bai Wenyu's eyes rarely flash a trace of distraction?

The girl with a blue heart asked, "Sister Bai, do you usually like to listen to operas?" ”

Bai Wenyu shook his head: "Actually, I don't know much about opera, but I listened to it a lot with my natural grandfather, and the play "Peony Pavilion" is quite meaningful to me......

It was the first time He Tianran had heard of this, and he also asked:

"Mom, what's the point?"

Bai Wenyu was silent, but He Panshan on the side said in a daze: "It's really meaningful, when I was on a blind date with your mother, I watched "The Peony Pavilion", arranged by your grandfather, in order to accompany him, we spent two days watching the whole play, and it was here back then." ”

The three young men were silent when they heard this, and they suddenly sighed.

He Panshan's eyes were still on the stage, and he said eloquently:

"Over the years, I have watched this play many times, in my opinion, this "Peony Pavilion" is actually written until Du Liniang returns to the soul, and the things after the rebirth are too long, when she is a ghost, she is happier, once she returns the yang, love hits the iceberg of reality, regardless of whether Liu Mengmei was admitted to the champion in the end, Du Liniang's father still insists on separating them?

If it weren't for Tang Xianzu finally writing a drama to let a character like the emperor come out to reconcile, how could their love not end......

But to write like this, on the contrary, it is inferior, what do you think? ”

In the face of her ex-husband's words, Bai Wenyu immediately responded in an orderly manner:

"If you say so, then "The Peony Pavilion" only retains "Garden", so wouldn't it be better? It's better not to see each other than to see each other, and the two of them will remain in their dreams forever. Besides, even if Du Liniang turns into a ghost, she has always missed her lover, and what she wants is a consummation, why did she come to you and couldn't even give you an ending?

Of course, if you talk about shortcomings, it's not nothing, but what I care about is that Du Liniang can only lie in the grave to be saved until she dies, which inevitably makes people now feel angry, but considering the limitations of the times, this is also a helpless thing, but fortunately, it is different now......"

"The Peony Pavilion" can be roughly divided into three stages, namely before life, after death, and rebirth.

As the pinnacle of opera, a classic that can be sung by later generations for a hundred years and endures, naturally has its own often seen and often new, and now He and Bai seem to be arguing about the structure of the drama and the limitations of the characters, but combined with their own emotional state, the meaning of the words is not difficult to understand.

The three young people present are all smart people, and from the old thing of watching the play on a blind date before, to their current speech and debate, a gradually clear emotional thread has emerged in their hearts.

What He Panshan really wants to say is that he is dissatisfied with all kinds of realistic conflicts after marriage, there is an emperor in the play who settles everything, but the reality cannot, just like his state before and after marriage.

And Bai Wenyu went one step further, if the ending could not be satisfied, it would be better to stop at the initial encounter, in which, she was also reflecting on her weakness at the same time.

Now not only He Tianran knows, but even Wen Liang and Cao Aiqing can see that the boy's parents are very strong people, the initial love is of course a love agreement, but in the end, they are also strong to each other, and it is natural that they refuse to give in after a hard encounter.

It's a pity for He Tianran, living in this kind of family where both parents are extremely strong, there is really no room for respite.

He didn't understand this situation when he was a child, and he only felt that his parents couldn't accompany him, but after a long time, he naturally developed a child's introverted and reticent personality, and he could only live in his own world.

And when he grows up, this situation is even worse, only because he understands and grows up, so he will feel more troubled.

For example, now......

The argument in the audience did not affect the performance on stage, He Panshan was a little impatient, but he still lowered his voice, took out the posture of the head of the family, and threw out a sentence:

"I'm too lazy to talk to you about this, and you don't just talk to yourself, what do you three think?"

The two girls agree with Bai Wenyu's statement, but there is a slight difference in understanding, but the current situation is a drama discussion on the surface, but it has become a family dispute on the side, so as outsiders, it is not good for them to be the first to speak no matter who gets up.

He Tianran looked at his father on the left, and then at his mother on the right, this situation is not once or twice, when he was a child, he felt in a dilemma, and he didn't know what to do, but in order to maintain the strong relationship between his parents, he could only be so anxious that he turned around in tears......

They all want He Tianran to favor themselves, but now He Tianran is no longer willing to be the mouse in the bellows.

"Dad, Mom, my son will just talk about things, maybe what I say next will be a little ugly, but it's just a family's words, you should be patient first, listen to me, okay?"

He Tianran asked first, Bai Wenyu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded stiffly.

This kind of statement is obviously that no one wants to help, he has to act according to his own ideas, and in the past few years, he thinks that he treats his son well, He Panshan's heart is cold, and he feels that this move is very unkind, he sneered and sneered:

"Okay, Director He, tell me, what do you think?"

He Tianran's body slowly leaned back in the chair, his eyes were out of focus and he looked at the ancient stage, the love story that had been told for a hundred years, he said in a deep voice:

"I don't think what you said is right, but you don't understand "The Peony Pavilion", the repertoire in life, after death, and rebirth correspond to the acquaintance, love, and blind date in life, but you are all planted in the last step, and you refuse to admit it, so you can only pretend to see it through......"

"Natural!"

"Heh, you kid know."

It is rare for strong parents to calmly accept their children's criticism, Bai Wenyu and He Panshan are no exception, they can't help but speak out sharply, but fortunately, the two girls are on the side to help stabilize their emotions, He Tianran took a deep breath, and then he was able to continue:

"Mom, you know what you want to express, you said that Du Liniang was lying in the grave and waiting for someone to save her, but what do you expect her to do? Pull up a big flag, and then run to tell each other, shouting for freedom of love? Or is it more radical, saying that she is just a love brain, and she makes herself depressed for the sake of a beautiful image in her dreams? ”

This passage was cold and erect when she heard it, just because the name of the protagonist was put aside here, it was so in line with her and He Tianran's experience.

"You said that she was in love and wanted to be fulfilled, yes, I used to think so, but just imagine, did Du Liniang really die for Liu Mengmei? No, if she dreamed of Wang Mengmei, He Mengmei, the result would be the same, the reason why she died depressed was because after she failed to pursue her dream, she finally realized that such a beautiful and free moment only existed in dreams......

It's not that she hasn't struggled, she has always been very sober in the pursuit of something that can make her die for, and death itself is a kind of struggle, which is the best interpretation of 'not free, rather than die', which is also the most amazing thing about Du Liniang as a woman.

Is this weakness?

Tang Xianzu borrowed such a character to defend the sentient world, and firmly believed that feelings are the most precious thing in human society, which can make people die and even be resurrected for it.

He wanted to express that there is nothing else in this world that can compete with the word 'love'.

However, this kind of 'extreme affection' rarely happens in today's world, because the lovers in the current society are always scattered sometimes, just like mom, you and father, because of love and hate, from hate to resentment, so naturally such a true 'extreme affection and sex' becomes scornful, and it is difficult to see a good end.

You agree with Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei's love to get a happy ending, but you can't get used to seeing a weak person waiting for others to save you, but you were wrong from the beginning, Du Liniang didn't die of unsatisfactory and unattainable love, she ...... It was to see freedom in a dream, to die from a vain desire for love......"

He Tianran's voice seemed to have a hidden sound of gold and stone, who was he talking about at this moment?

Say yourself? Say it's cool? Say Cao Aiqing? Or is it your own parents?

Perhaps, both.

Wen Liang remembered that when he and He Tianran were in military training, the two opened their hearts, and He Tianran asked himself how he accepted that future memory.

At that time, I said a long thing, and I didn't hide it.

Now that I think about it, it's still the same.

And Cao Aiqing's words to He Tianran were even more deeply touched.

He Tianran is talking about love, but in his words, there is not only love.

Cao Aiqing doesn't even need to use her memory to compare anything, because He Tianran's elaboration of the character "Du Liniang" at the moment, every word in it seems to be helping her piece together a complete self.

Bai Wenyu lowered her head and thought after hearing this, and was silent.

He Panshan on the side silently lit a cigarette, and a puff of white mist came out of his mouth, and when the smoke dissipated, he wanted to take another puff, but the cigarette holder was placed on his lips, but he didn't move.

He paused for a few seconds, and finally asked:

"And after that? Du Liniang, as a ghost, is actually the happiest, the most free, she presents the most ideal state of love that Tang Xianzu thinks, Du Liniang can not be bound by society, and can finally get along with the person she loves day and night, once resurrected, such a beautiful state will disappear, why bother? ”

He Panshan once again deepened the extension of his previous question.

Feeling the gaze of everyone towards him, He Tianran couldn't bear to move his gaze to Wen Liang, he was afraid of exposing something......

The young man seemed to have good ink in his chest, and when he brought it to his lips, he made his debut:

"Dad, it's understandable that you think so, because in reality, there are Lao Yan separated and his wife separated, that is, there are prejudices and misunderstandings, and there are all kinds of trivial and accidents.

Even if you have met the love you desire, you still can't escape the shackles of fate and environment.

What about consensual thinking? What about the appearance of a talented woman? Without the emperor's approval, they would not have been able to achieve a happy reunion.

But it is precisely because of the cruelty and numbness of reality that this weak but indestructible feeling is so precious, and it is more important to face the ending with the truest appearance, rather than escaping from reality, avoiding the important and trivial, leaving a vain appearance of everyone happy.

Tang Xianzu's "Peony Pavilion" must be written about the events after rebirth, which proves that he does not want to escape reality through dreams, but to compare and state reality through dreams, which also implements the sentence about human nature that he expresses between the lines, in addition to love, through the mouths of characters......"

Speaking of this, He Tianran finally couldn't help it and looked at Wen Liang.

The two looked at each other, because the cause and effect He naturally said extremely vaguely, so even Wen Liang just thought that he was taking the opportunity to reveal his true feelings, and what he wanted to say next sentence, the girl knew.

However, at this moment, another gaze also came, and with a slight glance, he already knew the whole picture of He Tianran's words......

Then, in his ears, Cao Aiqing's voice sounded both obvious and sluggish:

"Yes, the perception of human nature in "The Peony Pavilion" is the sentence that Du Liniang said, my lifelong hobby is natural."

……

……

ps: The length of the family banquet is very laborious, and it is inevitable to be honest and fearful to stand on the shoulders of giants to tell the story, but no matter what, what Lao Sao wants to express has been expressed through the story of "The Peony Pavilion", what doubts do you have about the plot in the future, and what are the doubts about the future development, in fact, you can turn these chapters out and see, maybe you can dispel some confusion, the reason why this passage is written in the text is that I am afraid that readers who read the D version will not know, huh...... ：）
