Chapter 25: Mischief

"... Most people will like Oscar Wilde, but few people will love him very much."

"Perhaps many people love his beautiful words and sentences more than the work itself."

"He will let you have endless aftertaste, but he will not make you pursue hard."

…No matter what Su Shi said or what kind of views he expressed, the nobles in front of him always seemed to find the most natural way to support him.It's as if you share their heart and say what they're trying to say.

Su Shi just wanted to say something in his heart:

Everyone here is talented, and they speak nicely. I really like it here.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that they didn't agree with anything, and the opinions they put forward are also ambiguous... and their eyes shining with joy can easily cause pleasant misunderstandings.

Su Shi thought a little badly, what would happen to these people if he immediately switched to bragging about Wilde and put forward opinions that could be regarded as the opposite?

He borrowed Borges' evaluation of Wilde and said:

"Beauty is justice. As a representative of aestheticism, Oscar Wilde always seems to be right, but it is perfection that damages him, because if something seems natural, it makes people take it for granted, even trivial..."

Mino.

There was a small voice that sounded in Su Shi's mind, causing his speech speed to pause invisibly, but was ignored.

"...But no matter how you say it, Wilde's works are still handed down like classics, no matter what age they are, they look young, as if they were just written in the early morning, and the ink on the paper is new.[1]"

The male blood standing in front of Su Shi said slyly: "He is a charming devil, and charm is the most important virtue. Despite his vices and misfortunes, he maintains an indestructible innocence. If you write If anyone who produces beloved works can be called a master, then Wilde is the child destined to become a master. And who knows what is Wilde's 'other side of the garden'?[1]”

Su Shi didn't listen to his words carefully, because there was an empty voice sounding in his mind again, and it constantly showed the sense of existence——

Mino.

Mino.

Mino.Mino.Mino.

Su Shi turned his head in confusion, trying to find the source of the sound, and the blood race in front of him took the initiative to back away from both sides and said:

"what happened?"

Other people in the room were drinking tea, reading books, chatting and chatting, all doing their own things... No one paid attention to this side.

Su Shi pulled his earlobe in disbelief.

... hallucinations?

"It's nothing." He turned his head, and the voice like a kitten pinching his throat had disappeared from his mind.

Balan, who was sitting on the side, pinched a corner of the page, and the corners of his lips curled up secretly.

Su Shi smiled slightly at the vampire who was talking. The other party also used some of Borges' words just now, and played a little game similar to "Wilde's Paradox".But no one can figure out whether he admires or denies Wilde from the bottom of his heart.

Of course, if it were Su Shi himself, he would never easily make comments in front of strangers.If you have to, then you should use mild tone and words, and use a way of expression that is difficult to understand correctly, to put forward your opinions-metaphors, puns, symbols... Encrypt the words as much as possible, in this way, The other party can understand according to his own preferences, and he will always hear what he wants to hear... But no matter how he understands, the right to explain is only in your hands.

But this is really a lonely way of communication.

We get together and talk for a long time, just to talk about nothing.

After all, these nobles who came to chat with him uninterruptedly had only a kind of curiosity about him, right?

Su tried to filter out the sharp opinions, and talked with the other party in general.

Everyone played with each other's tricks on the text, so it seemed interesting and worry-free.

At this moment, the servant brought the "afternoon tea"—there were noble rot wine, snacks and flowers of different styles on small silver trays, which were placed on the high coffee table next to the chair.

The amber botrytised wine is chilled and exudes the sweetness of honey; the dessert is relatively simple, it is a strawberry tart that can be eaten one by one on a small white porcelain plate and each grid is stuffed with fresh blueberries Waffle muffins, and yogurt sherbets served with spoons in small icy china jars.

The flowers allocated to Su Shi are blue irises and white roses placed in a creamy white porcelain vase.

Tudor Sisera watched his brothers and sisters fly around the ordinary wild flower in the countryside like bees smelling sweetness, buzzing.Fortunately, they still knew how to be decent, and they didn't forget that it was a bit of an aristocratic demeanor to crowd around a human like this so courteously, so after talking for a while, some people turned around and went back to their seats.

Tuduo thought: I have seen many delicate roses with overlapping petals, so I am curious about the unknown flower with only three petals.

So he withdrew his eyes from the corner of his eyes in disdain, turned around and continued to chat with his cousin.But he only felt the figure flickering - his cousin had stood up holding a goblet and walked towards the human being.

"..."

Tudor's mouth was tightly pursed, and the thin lips were almost invisible.

A kind of loneliness that everyone likes salty tofu, but only you like sweet tofu, hits his heart.

What's more, usually at this time, brothers and sisters would happily ask him about interesting things that happened during his studies, how he fought against the teacher, and gave him advice on teasing his classmates... The attention that human being is getting now belongs to him!

Tuduo looked away without being bothered, and turned to look at the hall that changed with the seasons and incorporated the elements of the greenhouse, and saw that Balan, who was diagonally opposite, also had a displeased expression on his face.

Probably like attracts like... The eyes of the two met unexpectedly.

Tudor thought: Sure enough, Balaam hates that human being.We are brothers.

Otherwise, how to explain the hunt?That kind of invitation, no matter what, looks like a game, right?For blood nobles, "hunting" is an essential communication, sports and entertainment activity in daily life, and "hunting" is almost a mini simplified version of "hunting".

——In this way, you probably understand that the "hunting" of blood nobles is not like riding a horse and leading a group of hounds to hunt foxes, deer or pheasants in TV dramas... that can only be regarded as a warm-up.

On the annual shooting day, they will also put ten to fifty death row prisoners in the fox hunting grounds belonging to their respective families, give them guns and equipment, and tell them that as long as they escape, they will be free...

So Balaam's defense of him in the lunch room just now must have been just to maintain the aristocratic style. He was restrained by the aristocratic style.

Thinking about it this way, Tudor felt a little sympathetic to Balan—after receiving 100 years of aristocratic education, even the legendary Balan has become more disciplined.

But Tudor is different. He knows very well that when a genius talks about poetry with a beggar, only the genius will be ridiculed.If you want low-level people to understand the truth, you must learn to use vulgar methods, otherwise you will not speak.

Does Baran's method work?His elegant methods can be dealt with by the other party as long as they have a thicker skin.

He will let that human learn a lesson in a more simple and rude way...

And Balaam would know that it would work his way.

Thousands of thoughts are only in the blink of an eye, Tudor looked at Balan and gave him a look of "I understand".

"..."

Balaam narrowed his eyes.

Tuduo blinked and gave him another look of "Don't worry".

"..."

Balaam looked at him blankly.

Tudor raised his eyebrows, and gave him a "look at me" look.

"..."

Balaam frowned.

Tuduo then stood up and walked towards Su Shi. He put one hand on his cousin's shoulder very naturally, pretending to be interested to listen to the side, and touched the other side with the other hand. Putting it into the trouser pocket, when the hand slipped out of the pocket, a small yellow ball was caught between the middle finger and index finger.With a flip of his wrist, he crushed the little yellow pill and added it to the wine on the small coffee table.

He leaned over and said a few more words, and then turned back to his seat with shaky steps. On the way, he gave Balan a reverse OK sign with his hand next to his leg.

"..."

OK, OK what? O you dick/buck?

What the hell did I ask you to do? !

But obviously Balaam couldn't expose his younger brother in public. He closed the book in his hand and handed it behind his shoulder, and a servant immediately stepped forward to take it.Balan glanced at Tudor, stood up holding his wine glass, and walked towards Su Shi.

He put his own sweet wine into Su Shi's small silver tray, ready to exchange for another glass.

But at this moment, in order to alleviate the dryness of the lips and tongue caused by small talk, Su Shi casually flicked the coffee table, and held it towards the foot of the cup in his memory...

The fingers of the two are interlaced.

——Balan held the stem of the cup, and Su Shi squeezed Balan's fingers.

Su Shi turned his head and looked at Balan.

Balan moved his lips and said, "...this cup is blended according to the taste of the blood race. You may not be used to drinking it. I will change it for you."

Su Shi raised his eyebrows slightly, and released his fingers noncommittally.

And Balaam continued to take the wine glass without changing his face.

Su Shi looked down at the glass of golden wine on the silver plate. The two glasses of wine were placed very close to each other. Maybe he was too confident in his spatial memory, and there was really a deviation?

Then here comes the problem - 1. Balan put down the problematic glass of wine, was caught when he took away the good one, and now he is left with the problematic one. 2. In the process of implementing 1, Balan was caught when he put down the problematic glass of wine. He felt that he had been exposed, so he took away the problematic glass of wine and left the good one. That cup—what kind of situation?

Su Shi gently shook the wine glass in his hand twice, as if releasing its aroma, and then stared at the amber-gold wine with appreciation. He raised his eyes, met Balan's eyes, and smiled slightly. He ordered the wine glass in the direction of Balan, and then took a sip with his lips against the rim of the glass.

However, the liquid and his lips parted as soon as he touched it, making it hard to tell whether he drank it, tasted it, or just moistened his lower lip slightly.

Balaam thought: He must have noticed.

He wouldn't believe him, from the first he thought he was inviting him to the manor to play a trick on him... If he suspected something was wrong with the wine, even if he didn't do it, he would think that was what he meant.

Balan raised his glass and took a sip of the wine in the glass——

He almost spits the wine out of his nostrils.

This smell...!

The smell of toilet water is nothing more than that!
