My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 260
As the three young people mentioned the theme of the "Peony Pavilion" on stage one after another, Bai Wenyu smiled gratifiedly and said:
"At first I thought you young people couldn't stand it, and I wanted to tell you what the show on the podium was about, but I thought it was right. Ai Qing is a top student at the University of Hong Kong, and Xiao Wen and Tianran specialize in this. Look at it." Come on, I really underestimated you."

Bai Wenyu didn't know something, but the three of them knew more than anything, just like what was written in the couplets, there are always people from the drama in the audience.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the play "The Peony Pavilion" is the epitome of the experience they have experienced.

He Ranran glanced at the trance-like Wen Liang with some concern, knowing that she had a strong empathy with the characters in the play at the moment, the boy's mind was spinning, and then he smiled at his mother and added the follow-up:
"Ah Liang is right. It is true that love is where love comes from. Gold and stones are opened. Du Liniang was finally able to come back to life. She was married to Liu Mengmei, and love lasted forever. It is really the best example of lovers getting married. Although the process was a bit tortuous, but against the background of the happy ending, the pain and hurt in the middle are more touching and precious."

Wen Liang knows that her boyfriend is deliberately borrowing the past to describe the present, this kind of sympathy that can only be felt between lovers, instantly makes a warm current rise in the girl's heart, and her whole body is warm.

However, she was not the only one who was touched by the stories on stage.

He Tianran didn't make any mistakes in his supplements to the play, but he just said that lovers will get married in the end, and everyone will have a happy ending, which made Cao Aiqing feel a sense of irritability that was completely opposite to Wen Liang's.

He is the least qualified to say such a thing.

However, right now, Cao Aiqing doesn't intend to make use of the topic. As she said before, she came to 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 slandering her all her life, it is undeniable that he gave her the opportunity to travel through time and space. Now the girl is facing two kinds of conflicts in thinking and memory, and love and hate have changed. Unbalanced and deformed, she had to find a way out.

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

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

Recognize him, and then improve yourself.

This is much more important than love.

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

Cao Aiqing captured this detail, why did Bai Wenyu's eyes flicker with a rare look of absent-mindedness?

The girl Huizhi and Lanxin asked: "Sister Bai, do you usually like to listen to operas?"

Bai Wenyu shook her head: "Actually, I don't know much about operas, but I just listened to a lot of them with Tianran's grandfather, and the play "The Peony Pavilion" is quite meaningful to me..."

It was the first time He Tianran heard about this, so he also asked:

"Mom, what's the point?"

Bai Wenyu remained silent, but He Panshan on the side said disgruntledly: "It's really meaningful. When I was on a blind date with your mother, I watched "The Peony Pavilion". I finished watching the whole movie in two days, and I was here back then."

The three young men were all silent when they heard the words, and felt embarrassed.

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

"Over the years, I have watched this play quite a few times. In my opinion, this "Peony Pavilion" can actually be finished after Du Liniang's resurrection. The matter after rebirth is too long. When she is a ghost, it will be written instead. Live a happier life. Once the love is repaid, love hits the iceberg of reality. Doesn't matter whether Liu Mengmei won the first prize in the final exam, isn't Du Liniang's father still determined to separate them?

If it wasn't for Tang Xianzu who finally wrote the scene where a character like the emperor came out to reconcile, their love would never end...

But writing it like this is actually inferior, what do you think? "

Facing her ex-husband's unequivocal words, Bai Wenyu responded in an orderly manner immediately:
"If you put it this way, wouldn't it be better if "The Peony Pavilion" only retains a discount of "A Tour in the Garden"? Seeing each other is worse than not seeing each other, and the two will live in dreams like this forever. Besides, even if Du Liniang turns into a ghost I have been thinking about my lover all the time, and what I want is a fulfillment. Why can't I even give you an ending when I come to you?
Of course, if we talk about shortcomings, it’s not without them, but what I’m concerned about is that Du Liniang can only be rescued in a graveyard until she dies. There is nothing we can do about the limitations of the situation, 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, it can be sung by later generations for a century without fading. Naturally, it is often seen and always new. 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 The emotional state, and the implication in it, is not difficult to understand.

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

What He Panshan really wants to say, and what he is dissatisfied with, is about the various real conflicts after marriage. In the play, the emperor settles everything, but in reality he can't, just like his own state before and after marriage.

And Bai Wenyu went one step further. If the ending can't be happy, it's better to stop at the first meeting, during which she is also introspecting her own 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. Although the first love was like-minded, but in the end they separated because they were strong with each other. .

It's a pity for He Tianran, living in such a family where both parents are extremely powerful, there is really no room for breathing.

He didn't understand this kind of situation when he was a child, he just felt that his parents couldn't accompany him, but over time, the subtle influence naturally formed the child's introverted and reticent character, and he could only live in his own world.

And when he grows up, this situation will get worse, because he understands and grows up, so he will feel more disturbed.

For example now...

The debate in the audience did not affect the performance on the stage. He Panshan was a little impatient, but he still lowered his voice, showed the attitude of the owner, and threw out a sentence:
"I'm too lazy to talk about this with you, so don't just talk to yourself, what do you three think?"

The two girls very much agree with Bai Wenyu's statement, but they have slightly different understandings. It's just that the current situation is obviously a discussion of opera, but it has turned into a family dispute. Therefore, as outsiders, no matter who gets up to speak first not good.

He Tianran looked at his father on the left, and then at his mother on the right. This happened not once or twice. When he was a child, he felt in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, but in order to maintain the strong relationship between his parents The relationship between husband and wife can only be so anxious that they are spinning around with tears in their eyes...

They all want He Tianran to lean towards him, but now He Tianran is no longer willing to be the mouse in the bellows.

"Dad, Mom, the son is just talking about the matter. Maybe what I say next will be a bit harsh, but it's just a family's opinion. You can bear your temper first and listen to me, okay?"

He Tianran asked first, Bai Wenyu was taken aback, then nodded stiffly.

This kind of statement is obviously that no one wants to help, he wants to act according to his own ideas, but in the past few years, he thinks that he treats his son well. With a sneer, a sarcasm:
"Okay, let's talk about Director He Da, what's your opinion?"

He Tianran leaned back on the chair slowly, looked out of focus at the ancient stage, and sang a century-old love story, he said in a deep voice:
"I think what you said is wrong, but it's not that you don't understand "The Peony Pavilion". The pre-life, after-death, and rebirth in the play correspond to the acquaintance, love, and blind date in life. Ken admits it, so I can only pretend to see through it..."

"natural!"

"Oh, as long as you understand."

It is rare for strong parents to accept their children's criticism calmly. Bai Wenyu and He Panshan are no exception. They couldn't help but speak harshly. Fortunately, the two girls were there to help stabilize their emotions. He Tianran took a deep breath, This continues:

"Mom, you know what you want to express. You said that Du Liniang was lying in the grave waiting for someone to save her, but what do you expect her to do? Raise a big flag, and then run around telling everyone, shouting for the freedom of love? Or To be more radical, to say that she is just a love brain, and for a beautiful image in a dream, she made herself depressed and died?"

Wen Liang's hair stood on end when she heard this passage, because it fit her and He Tianran's experience so well regardless of the protagonist's name.

"You said she couldn't love her and wanted to achieve perfection. Yes, I thought so before, but just imagine, did Du Liniang really die for Liu Mengmei? No, if she dreamed of Wang Mengmei and He Mengmei, the result would be It's the same, the reason why she died in depression was because she finally realized that such a beautiful and free moment only existed in dreams after failing to find her dream...

It's not that she has never fought, she has always been soberly pursuing something that she can die for, and death itself is a kind of struggle, which is the best interpretation of "give me freedom or give me death". Women, the most amazing place.

Is this weakness?

Tang Xianzu uses such a character in his pen to defend the world of sentient beings, and firmly believes that affection is the most precious thing in human society, which can make people die for it, and even be resurrected for it.

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

However, this kind of "supreme love theory" rarely occurs in today's world, because lovers in today's society always get together sometimes, just like mom, you and dad, hate arises from love, and resentment arises from hatred, so it is natural to In this way, the true "most affection and nature" becomes scornful, and it is difficult to see a good end.

You agree that the love between Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei has a happy ending, but you can't bear to see a weak person waiting for others to save you, but you were wrong at the beginning. Du Liniang didn't die because of unsatisfactory and unobtainable love, she...was in a dream I saw freedom in my life, and died of the vain longing for love..."

He Tianran's voice seems to have the sound of gold and stone. Who is he talking about at this moment?
Talk about yourself? Talk about warm and cool?Speaking of Cao Aiqing?Or, your own parents?

Maybe, both.

Wen Liang remembered that when He Tianran 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 speech, every word was heartfelt, and I didn't hide anything.

Thinking about it now, it is still the same.

Cao Aiqing's words to He Tianran were even more touching.

He Tianran was talking about love, but there was more than just love in his words.

Cao Aiqing didn't even need to use her memory to compare anything, because every word in He Tianran's explanation of the character "Du Liniang" seemed to help her piece together a complete self.

After hearing this, Bai Wenyu bowed her head in thought and remained silent.

He Panshan on the side silently lit a cigarette, and puffed out a puff of white mist. When the smoke dissipated, he wanted to take another puff, but the cigarette holder was placed on his lips, but he did not move for a long time.

He paused for a few seconds, and finally asked:
"What happened after that? As a ghost, Du Liniang is actually the happiest and freest. She presents the ideal state of love that Tang Xianzu believes is the most ideal state of love. Du Liniang can be free from social constraints, and finally be able to get along with the person she loves day and night. Once she is resurrected, it will be so beautiful. The status will also disappear, why bother?"

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

Sensing the gazes cast on him by everyone, He Tianran resisted his gaze from moving to Wen Liang, he was afraid of revealing something...

The young man seemed to have good ink in his chest, and when he sent it to his lips, he swayed and said:
"Dad, it's understandable for you to think so, because in reality, labor and swallows are separated, wives and children are separated, there are prejudices and misunderstandings, and there are all kinds of trivialities and accidents.

Even if you have already met the love you long for, you still cannot escape the shackles of fate and environment.

How about consensuality?So what about the appearance of a man and a woman?Without the approval of the emperor, it would be impossible for them to achieve a happy reunion.

But precisely because of the cruelty and numbness of reality, this weak but indestructible feeling is so precious, and it is more appropriate to face the ending with the most authentic appearance, instead of escaping from reality, avoiding the most important and taking the lightest, leaving a vain Everyone on the table is happy.

Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion" must write about the events after rebirth, which proves that he is not trying to use dreams to escape reality, but to use dreams to compare and state reality, which also implements his words, outside of love, The thought about human nature expressed in the mouth of the character..."

Having said that, He Tianran couldn't help it, and looked at Wen Liang.

The eyes of the two met, because Karma and He Tianran's words were extremely cryptic, so even Wen Liang thought that he was taking the opportunity to reveal his true feelings, and the girl knew what he wanted to say next.

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

Then, Cao Aiqing's clear yet depressed voice sounded in his ears:
"That's right, the perception about human nature in "The Peony Pavilion" is the sentence that Du Liniang said. My favorite all my life is nature."

……

……

ps: It takes a lot of effort to write the length of the family banquet. It is inevitable to stand on the shoulders of giants and tell the story with trepidation, but no matter what, what Lao Sao wants to express has already been expressed through the story of "The Peony Pavilion". Doubt, if there is any confusion about the future development, in fact, you can turn over these chapters to have a look, maybe it can clear up some confusion. The reason why this paragraph is written in the main text is that readers who read the D version will not know, hey ... :)
