Classical Chinese Short Stories 3: Silk and Slaughter

In a romance novel, the love must be literary. In the article "Jin Sha", if a woman and three men ask for love, then the final point can be analyzed to see if they love her or not. Xunfeng chapter I think some people think that Xunfeng is so affectionate that he sacrificed his life for it, while others are bored or even disgusted by him. First, he said he loved her but married someone else. Of course, love and devotion are bound together. You say you love someone, and then you turn around and marry someone else, sleep with someone else, and have children with someone else—then what is the "love" you are talking about? Your love is too cheap. Second, he brought danger to Lin Ying. Xunfeng kept saying that he loved Lin Ying, but every time he appeared, he pushed Lin Ying into the abyss. Being discovered by Lu Cheng and threatened, the source of this was Xunfeng's unwillingness to let go. I love her, but what I do is harming her. On the third level, he has no sense of boundaries. Lin Ying said not to come, but he still persisted. If it weren't for his great martial arts skills, if it weren't for the fact that Lin Ying might still have some feelings for him, and he seemed to love her very much, we would definitely be disgusted with such behavior. But disgust and understanding are not opposites. Let's first look at Xunfeng's identity. He has a master, he is a knife, he is not a free man. Xunfeng is both his real name and his code name. He is a slave. Apart from choosing who he loves, nothing else, including his own body, belongs to him. He is a tool being raised, and the meaning of his life is to fulfill his master's orders. He can't choose his career, he can't choose his marriage. It was the marriage granted by the master. If he didn't want it, he would definitely get to the bottom of it. If he got to the bottom of it, the matter between him and Lin Ying would definitely not be hidden. If he couldn't keep it hidden, the danger to Lin Ying would be even greater. This is the first point to understand, why he can marry a wife and have children even though he talks about love. Because he is just a slave who cannot resist. And his experience makes his love not the conventional completely selfless love that we understand. His "disloyalty" to love is not that he chooses to be unfaithful, but that he does not have the freedom to be loyal to love. This is the love of someone who is in extreme need. A man who had been deprived of everything since childhood, who had lived in darkness for nineteen years, suddenly saw a ray of light. What would he do? He will hold on for dear life. His obsession with Lin Ying is that he can't live without her, not because he doesn't want to, but because he can't do it. What does letting go mean to him? It means returning to the world without temperature, to the life of only orders and killing. When Xunfeng died, he said: "Yingying, you have never believed in me." It's not that you don't believe that I love you, it's that you don't believe in me. If you don't believe that Xunfeng doesn't want to hurt her, if you don't believe that if he is going to die, he won't fight back and take her away with him. Lin Ying didn't believe it. She didn't believe that he was really willing to die for her. She didn't believe that he didn't want to take her to die with him. She didn't believe that he was willing to die, but he wanted her to live. Of course, Xunfeng is to blame for all the harm Lin Ying suffered, and it is natural for everyone to hate Xunfeng. And when he said he had a child while drinking tea, it was actually a struggle. Maybe he was doing a final test, maybe he wanted to know if she would be a little soft-hearted because she was concerned about him. Of course Lin Ying didn't. His Yingying wants him to die, so let him die. Lu Zepian Lu Ze's feelings for Lin Ying actually went through four stages. The first stage: lust before marriage At this stage, Lu Ze felt for Lin Ying what a man desires for a woman. There is no talk of love, not even respect. He fell in love with her and wanted to get her. Use forceful means regardless of the consequences. Stage Two: Consideration of Benefits of Engagement At this stage, Lu Ze needed a strong-tempered person to take care of the back house when marrying Lin Ying, a real wife for socializing, and of course Lin Ying was young and beautiful. The third stage: long-term love after marriage Until this time, I think Lu Ze began to fall in love with Lin Ying. "He left home at a young age to pursue his future. He didn't get along with his first two wives for long. He almost never had any thoughts of being 'missing home' or 'wanting to go home early' outside. Only this time, he thought of her all the time. After things were done, he couldn't help but want to go home early." This person began to miss home and her. Stage 4: Old couple who have been married for many years He paved the way for her childless old age, and even began to persuade her to have children, caring about what she would do when she grew old. He is afraid that after his death, his stepsons will treat her badly. This is love that truly considers each other. Lu Ze's pragmatic love actually fits Lin Ying's character very well. When discussing whether Lu Ze loves Lin Ying, that is the final horror story told by many people - whether Lu Ze will kill Lin Ying. I thought, no. He knew everything. He had known about Lin Ying and Xunfeng's affair for a long time, but he just pretended not to know. He had long wanted to kill Lu Cheng, but now he just sighed. He said: "I told you back then, don't let him come to me, I will kill someone. Of course it is him who will be killed. When did I say I would kill you." Finally, he said: "Let's live a good life from now on." He didn't kill her, and he never would. Lin Ying is his wife and manages the family well to his satisfaction. For a person who only knew killing and climbing up in the first half of his life, love is very precious. He will not give up easily. Moreover, Xunfeng is dead and Lu Cheng is dead, so all the troubles are solved. He was willing to kill and bury her body, and he was willing to choose silence after she killed her own son. He was willing to bury it underground forever. This is collusion. At the end of the original article, Lin Ying said: "Lu Ze, let me give you a child." He said: "Okay. From now on, live a good life." She lowered her head gently: "Yeah." Lin Ying said "I will give birth to you", not "I want to give birth". She is trading her children for security. She knew that Lu Ze would not kill her, but she was not sure whether Lu Ze would never settle the old score. She needs a stronger bond to tie her children to this marriage and herself to Lu Ze. And Lu Ze said "Okay" without hesitation. He accepted the rope she offered him. Lu Cheng Chapter Lu Cheng, although Xiaoma's literature is very popular, I still want to He said without hesitation that Lu Cheng did not love Lin Ying. If Xunfeng's love makes people sigh, then Lu Cheng can only make people say no. Lu Cheng discovered Lin Ying's secret. She didn't want to, so he forced her. She struggled and he suppressed her. This is not love. This is a crime. He wanted Lin Ying to give birth to his child and pretend to be Lu Ze's son. This was because he hated Lu Ze, not because he loved Lin Ying. Because if you love someone, you won't threaten her with secrets, or use her as a tool to get revenge on your father. Xunfeng also pestered Lin Ying, but he never hurt her. The first time Lu Cheng touched Lin Ying, it was forced. This is the most essential difference between the two people. Xunfeng's love is complicated, contradictory, and makes people hate and sigh at the same time. You can say that the way he loves is wrong, you can say that his love harmed Lin Ying, but you can't say that it is not love. Lu Cheng's was different. There is nothing in Lu Cheng's love that is love. There was no respect, no heartache, only the pleasure of possession, control, revenge and power. He even wanted to scratch Lin Ying's face when he was about to die. This is not love. So there is no doubt about his death and no need to lament.

I personally think that the main reason for the heroine to have children is because of this necessity: 1. When Lu Cheng said that Lu Ze wanted to kill him, the heroine suddenly realized that Lu Ze still only treated her as a plaything. In fact, he was not even as good as a subordinate like Li Qianhu, because Li Qianhu may have known that Lu Ze wanted to kill Lu Cheng, because when the heroine found Li Qianhu, Li Qianhu felt that he did not react. Otherwise, with the relationship between Shuntian Prefecture Yin and Beizhen Prefecture, it would be impossible for people to know about Lu Cheng's murder. The heroine needs to be deeply bound to Lu Ze, and she needs to be closer to her identity as a wife. 2. Lu Ze's attitude towards the heroine's lover is actually the same as his attitude towards the Zhang family who collects private money. He actually doesn't care, because it actually doesn't do him any harm. If the heroine has a lover, she will feel guilty about him, which is good for his family. And if the heroine doesn't give birth to a child, she won't confuse his bloodline. He also held the handle of the heroine. The heroine's willingness to give birth is actually a sign of loyalty and that she will not have other lovers. 3. Judging from the previous content, Lu Ze values ​​his son very much, because he first protected Lu Cheng, who killed two wives in a row. (When Lu Cheng wanted to kill his younger brother, he chose to get rid of Lu Cheng.) The heroine has a child. In the future, there will be someone who can get involved in Lu Ze's power and get in touch with Lu Ze's core ideas, which can be regarded as the heroine's own life-saving talisman. Because Lu Ze didn't even agree to buy the concubines he had given birth to. If Lu Ze agrees with the heroine's opinion at this time, it will be equivalent to Lu Ze agreeing to turn over the matter. If he does not agree, then the heroine can consider the aftermath. The heroine cannot kill Lu Ze because Lu Ze is good at martial arts and smart. The heroine kills Xunfeng because Xunfeng is willing to die. Lu Ze has never revealed Xunfeng's identity, and in fact he does not regard the heroine as a confidant.

Just twenty-three chapters shocked me far more than one or two hundred chapters.

God, I can't even imagine what this TV series would be like if it were made into about 10 episodes...

Lin Ying saved the lives of Xunfeng and Lu Cheng, worked as Lu Ze's ace logistics for many years, and even fulfilled her marital obligations as an example. She didn't owe any of them. The first two were ungrateful enough to threaten and force her, so she wanted to kill them. Although Lu Ze started with forced plunder, he generally abided by moral standards. After getting married, he was able to repay Lin Ying with power and money, so Lin Ying was willing to have long-term mutual benefit with him. But as Lin Ying, who was completely weak in terms of violence, she had never been infatuated with the feelings given to her by anyone. She knew that she had never been respected as an independent person. With all her persistence and struggle, she did not trust any of them. She always maintained her loneliness and alertness.

In the last part of giving birth, I feel it's not that the heroine is afraid, but that she has a bigger plan. After the hero dies, she has nothing to fear.

Oops, still enjoyed the story on rewatch, even though everyone turned out to be subtly abominable in the end

To be honest, I quite like the heroine Lin Ying. She killed two people and had her husband help dig holes. Gee, it's quite touching. Although she still can't escape having children in the end, I believe the heroine can still live a good life.

Especially the black humor, absurd reality, and the feeling of reality. When I read Huang Liqun, Li Bihua, Zhang Ailing, and Ian McEwan, I was really impressed by the power of this writing. The sense of storytelling in the twenty-three chapters and the perfect information density and emotion in the last chapter [split] [split] Sorry, in my heart, Xiu Xiu is really the best storyteller in Jinjiang... [Lu Ze turned around and went to the clean room. Lin Ying took his clothes and looked down at her feet. Very practical. Since burying Lu Cheng, she has become much more at ease. [Lin Ying said: Bigger, he is very big. Xunfeng said: "That's enough. There's enough room for two people here." [What is born from a slave is still a slave. A boy and a girl are just children born into two families. Her eyes were still fixed on the tea cup. This writing is so awesome and the characters in it are so well understood...! Thinking about Lin Ying's initial feeling that her bottom line was not to kill anyone. Um. So scary...!

The heroine made the wrong move to kill Feng. Feng was more skilled than Lu, so Lu had scruples and didn't tell anyone about it, waiting for the heroine to indulge in a stable life and worry about being disturbed by Feng and take the initiative to kill Feng. From the heroine's perspective, she didn't know that Lu knew about the affair, so she was made passive by Feng, thinking that if he died, there would be no leverage. But Lu had known it for a long time. Instead, the heroine had torn up the only card that could counter Lu Qi. The heroine couldn't defeat Lu Qi's murderous intentions. Lu could tell by pointing out his skills that the fake drink was equivalent to telling the heroine this information. The probability that the heroine could kill Lu Qi was basically zero. Moreover, the reason has been discovered, and the estrangement has been established. The original expectation of living with He Meimei for a lifetime as a couple is no longer possible, so she can only try to please Lu Geng by giving birth to a child, and the heroine is afraid, alas. She doesn't trust love, and will definitely think about what to do when she gets old. She didn't owe anything to Lu before, so she didn't care. Now she has a life and an affair, and is pinched by seven inches. She relies entirely on Lu's forgiveness to survive. The heroine cannot be free.
