The piece of paper in Xiao Deng's hand meant a huge amount of money.

Two million yuan, according to the price of grain, is equivalent to one or two million yuan, even in the most expensive areas of Beijing and Taicang, she can buy two or three sets of high-rise real estate. For an ordinary person, it is an exaggeration to say that this money has the power to change the trajectory of life.

"It's what you deserve, it's already your personal money." Gao Xu said quietly, "You should accept it first, how to deal with it, we have no right to ask." ”

Gao Xu suddenly wanted to know how Xiao Deng would deal with her family entanglements in the end, and what would happen later.

He also felt that his thoughts seemed a little unsympathetic, but he was really curious. The industrialized Ming Kingdom is different from the Ming Dynasty and any era; However, Gao Xu vaguely noticed that some of the inner things of the tradition did not seem to have completely changed. Which one will Xiao Deng follow in the end?

Xiao Deng silently put away the check. Maybe she wasn't going to do anything, she just wanted to take it out and take a look.

If Gao Xu was only as curious as an outsider, then Miaojin's expression seemed a little concerned. She would occasionally sigh softly, and her face would be cloudy, as if she was thinking of her past.

Miaojin turned his head and said, "If you don't withdraw with dignity, I'm afraid there will be a 'war'." ”

Xiao Deng seemed to understand Miaojin's hint, and the two looked at each other for a moment. "War is not a bad thing sometimes, it makes you have an independent consciousness and think independently about what everyone preaches, whether it is the truth or a lie. ”

Xiao Deng, who was silent in frustration, was a little out of control again, and she asked, "What should I do?" ”

Miaojin hesitated for a moment and said, "This kind of thing can only rely on yourself." ”

Gao Xu also chimed in: "It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs. Unless there is evidence of domestic violence, you can call the police. ”

The three of them quieted down and blew a night breeze by the pool. Xiao Deng wanted to go back, and Miaojin's wine was almost sober, so he didn't keep her anymore.

Driving to the city, Xiao Deng invited the two of them to sit upstairs for a while. This time Gao Xu did not refuse, unlike the last time he sent Xiao Deng, Miaojin is also there today. So Gao Xu was able to visit the partition house that Xiao Deng rented in Taicang.

Gao Xu had never seen such a small room, probably only a single bed and a small cupboard. Xiao Deng wanted to entertain the guests, so he could only lift the mattress on the bed and set up a wooden table. Gao Xu and Miaojin didn't sit down, told Xiao Deng to rest early, and then went downstairs.

Potential tenants of such places should be temporary anchors for young people who have just graduated and have no income. With Xiao Deng's income, it is obvious that he does not need to live in such a house. Gao Xu could guess that she was not short of money, but to prevent her mother from moving over.

Miao Jin drove, and Gao Xu sat in the passenger cab, adjusted the seat just like her, and half lay there. After drinking the liquor, he felt a little dizzy in his brain, and this position was quite comfortable.

It was late at night, and even Taicang, the most densely populated, was running smoothly on the streets at this time, and the little silver horse was driving smoothly.

"What Miao Jin means is that Xiao Deng will break away from his parents and live independently, right?" Gao Xu thought for a while and said.

"Of course." Miaojin turned her head and replied without hesitation, "The process may be a little ugly, but the result will definitely not change

。 ”

Gao Xu turned to the side with great interest and looked at her delicate side face, "There are some things that I can't understand from the book, and my time here is still too short." I'm actually quite curious, how much has the Ming Kingdom changed in some internal things today? ”

"Like something?" Miaojin asked.

Gao Xu said simply: "Filial piety, loyalty and filial piety." ”

Miao Jin pondered for a while, and then spoke: "As Gao Xu said, the social foundation no longer exists, and the original things are not beneficial to the upper echelons of the industrial country, and slowly it seems that no one is specifically promoting it. The idea of loyalty and filial piety is still there, but it is no longer a unique thing.

And because of the development of psychology, people began to weigh the boundaries of tradition, if it is too much, it is no longer family affection, but emotional kidnapping; This is psychologically pathological, because emotional kidnapping is often the use of other people's guilt and constant psychological hints to achieve the purpose of control. This is contrary to the spirit of the constitution in the constitutional era. ”

Gao Xu smiled: "I don't even know you anymore." ”

"The richness of consultation is completely different from ancient to modern." Miao Jin said, "That's why I believe that Xiao Deng will understand." She was exposed to things that were different from what I used to be. It's not hard to get rid of some mistakes. ”

Miaojin turned her head again, and said with some emotion, "I remembered that time in Lingquan Temple, it was snowing, and you said that the crooked reasoning of what crows fed back, ironically and foolishly. ”

"I really didn't make it clear. However, I was born in an era when tradition and modernity did not withdraw with dignity, and the fusion was not as mellow as at this time. Gao Xu sighed, "It seems like a long, long time has passed." ”

Miaojin's voice said: "It's been a long time. And now everything is not so smooth, there have been chaos before, and there have been many civil wars. ”

Gao Xu muttered: "I think there is another very important reason, today's Ming Kingdom is comprehensively strong in culture, economy and military, so people will not easily and comprehensively deny their own inherent things. It's a simple logic, if I'm wrong, why am I the strongest? ”

Didn't hear Miaojin's response. She still doesn't seem to be able to completely shake off the shadow of her previous life, and her expression is a little unpredictable, caught in it.

After a while, she said softly: "For the sake of structural stability, starting from people's natural emotions and conjuring up a set of rhetoric, is it sublimation, or is it just for use?" ”

Gao Xu thought for a moment and said, "There may really be a big element of lies. But everybody is lying, and the lie becomes the truth. ”

Miaojin looked at Gao Xu with a complicated expression, "Yes, everyone is saying that those are what they have heard since birth." So you know how shocked I was when I heard the apostasy in Lingquan Temple? ”

"Don't be shocked now." Gao Xue said.

Miao Jin still remembered that she muttered, "At that time, I thought your idea was very evil, but it was inexplicably very tempting. It was as if I secretly wished that you were telling the truth, so that I could defend myself from the depths of my heart. ”

Gao Xu said: "You are right, people will eventually be true to their nature. Maybe it's just nature to be free and unrestricted. ”

"Remember what I said? You will find in other women characteristics that you can't stand. Miao Jin finally showed a shallow smile.

Gao Xu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not essentially a person of the same era. They are neither the same as the modern people of the first life, nor the women of ancient times. He thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Then why doesn't Miaojin follow his nature?" ”

"Do I agree with your interpretation of nature?" Miao Jin turned her head to look at him with a smile, "Then why, you will tell me the secret of eternal life?" Eternal life is a very evil concept in itself. ”

"Where is the evil?" Gao Xu asked.

Miaojin tilted her head slightly, "What do you say?" Almost all religious beliefs in the world come from death. If a man can live forever, what can limit him? ”

"I don't believe in religion." Gao Xu said casually. He felt a little dizzy and didn't say anything more. Inadvertently, he took a nap, and when he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the garage of his villa.

In a few days, Miaojin's school will be on summer vacation. Gao Xu decided to wait until the summer vacation, so he traveled to Egypt with Miaojin, and he had already agreed.

Now Gao Xu is really looking forward to this trip. Going to the place where the four wars were fought may give you a deeper understanding of this era.

He still has a curiosity, which used to be curious about things like a woman's body, but now his curiosity has shifted to something more abstract. Perhaps scientists spend their entire lives just curious about the truth of the universe.

Since the late Wude period and the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, with its huge size, there is no opponent in the East. In the short and medium distances, the Ming army was able to crush the surrounding small countries with a huge amount of weapons and ammunition. In the foreign war in which the Ming Dynasty participated, the Suez Canal became one of the iconic locations. If you take a walk on the spot, you will have some insights.

The world pattern is probably complex, but war has always dominated the context. Just like the Ming Dynasty in the past, a main battle can determine the direction of a country. The reason why the world is the world is because of the outcome of at least two large-scale wars.

Today's situation has been stable for many years, and the countries have complex games and competitions, but they have never been able to completely rewrite the context. Because it is difficult to happen again, the kind of all-out war that happened in the past, the nuclear arsenal of the Ming Dynasty calmed down impulsive humans a lot.

The two of them made some preparations, and when Miaojin came to Gao Xu, they would go shopping to buy some travel things, clothes, shoes, socks, backpacks, and sunscreen and other daily necessities.

When Miao Jin went to school, Gao Xu didn't want to experience the rich city life, he spent most of his time in his yard, reading books and watching TV, and practicing archery skills with a pulley bow. Archery has lost its practical significance, it is completely inferior to a pistol, and can only be used as a hobby sport.

Wang called twice and asked Gao Xu about his career plans.

This king has all kinds of minor problems, and he is not a very competent producer. However, with the experience of the last time, Gao Xu felt that he was generally reliable and decent.

Gao Xu told him that he was going to make two more animated movies to make money, but he wanted to develop in the direction of costume TV series.

As expected, Wang Siqi immediately persuaded hard. TV series are not as profitable as movies, and they are even more different from animated movies. Many actors who make TV series want to develop in the direction of movies, but Mr. Liu does the opposite, which is really not a wise choice.

Gao Xu couldn't convince Wang to make it, because it was really difficult for outsiders to understand.
