Chapter 65 Children's Day Party (3)

There is no need to be sensitive all the time, dullness is sometimes a virtue.Especially when interacting with people, even if you can see through the motives of a certain behavior or idea of ​​the other party, you need to pretend to be dull.This is the secret of social interaction and compassion for people. - Nietzsche

------------------

When Cheng Mo arrived at Mingyue Residence, No. 20, Yuelu Mansion, it was already past [-]:[-]. The reason why he was so late was that the interior of Yuelu Mansion was bigger than Cheng Mo expected. For those who have seen the real upper class, it is really hard to imagine that such a place can be hidden in a city where every inch of land is expensive.

The second reason is that some old trees passing by make Cheng Mo linger, especially in the center of the Yuelu Mansion, there is a saffron tree, which is at least a hundred years old.

Shan Dingzi tree is a deciduous tree in the north. It usually grows in the Bashang grassland. It is not particularly precious, but this tree grows beautifully. , Resolute and vigorous, the canopy is lush like an umbrella that covers the sky.

The tree in front of me is not only tall, but what is even more strange is that a wild tree grows naturally in the tree. A spectacle like no other.

Therefore, Cheng Murdo took a few glances and took a few photos with his mobile phone. Such a sacred tree must be taken as a souvenir.

Cheng Mo felt that it was worth it to be late for such a divine tree. Anyway, he knew very well that he was not an honorable guest, so he went to the scene and dealt with it a few times before it was over.

When Cheng Mo rang the doorbell at the door of Mingyueju, the housekeeper in a tuxedo with a big, shiny back was quite surprised when he saw Cheng Mo, whose face was still covered in sweat, except that he was dressed casually, which was a bit unexpected. Besides, Cheng Mo was the first person to walk in when he was the housekeeper of the Du family for so many years.

Cheng Mo saw a hint of suspicion in the butler's eyes, so he turned his head and glanced at the three golden words "Mingyueju" hanging on the marble pillar, took out the invitation card from his backpack and said, "This is Senior Du Leng. home?"

The housekeeper took the invitation, opened it and glanced at it, then put it away, bowed and made a gesture of invitation: "I'm Zhang Weide, the housekeeper of the Du family, classmate Cheng Mo, I'm very glad that you can come to the Du family mansion. "

Cheng Mo entered through the half-opened black carved iron gate. More than a dozen luxury cars of various colors were parked on both sides of the asphalt road surrounding the dragon-shaped fountain carved in white jade, including Xie Minyun's Rolls-Royce and the dragon-shaped fountain. On the other side is a tall and luxurious villa with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The building is mainly black and white, which is somewhat different from ordinary traditional Chinese or Western buildings, showing majesty.

If it were someone with an ordinary identity like Cheng Mo, he would inevitably feel inferior, because the gap between classes is too great, especially when he was a teenager, when he was the most sensitive age, but Cheng Mo naturally wouldn't. Very flat, he is here to make money.

Zhang Weide walked towards the door with Cheng Mo, and said with a smile as he walked, "Our young master has been waiting for you on the steps. All the guests are here. You are the last one."

Cheng Mo said: "I'm really sorry, I didn't estimate the time well."

Zhang Weide explained with a smile: "I didn't mean that, but our young master rarely waits for someone so persistently. He must value you very much!"

Cheng Mo said in his heart, "This housekeeper really knows how to raise the master's heart, but it's a pity that you have completely mistaken Du Leng's mind.But he didn't tell the truth, just said: "Then I really have to apologize to Senior Du Leng later."

When Cheng Mo walked to the other side of the fountain, Zhang Weide made a gesture of invitation and bowed to leave.

Du Leng stood on the steps with his hands behind his back and looked at him condescendingly. The eyes of the two people met for only a short moment. Du Leng looked at Cheng Mo, who was dressed in ordinary or even rudimentary clothes. Deeply said: "You finally came. I thought you were walking around the Yuelu Mansion and didn't want to come in!"

Du Leng didn't have Cheng Mo's contact information. He called the doorman and asked the guard that Cheng Mo had already come in.

Cheng Mo said neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm sorry, I made Senior Du wait so long. The trees here are very interesting, so I looked at them a few more times, and I wasted a lot of time. I really didn't expect that something as insignificant as me would be. Man, you will stand here and wait." Cheng Mo felt that he had to explain, after all, he was doing things for a fee, not a real guest.

Du Leng said noncommittally: "Oh? Do you have research on plants?"

Cheng Mo hesitated for a moment, in order to prove that he was not looking for an excuse, so he said: "There is no research, but everything has a history. Trees seem to have nothing to do with human civilization, but in fact they have a very deep relationship. Speaking of the evolution of trees Even earlier than humans, trees have provided shelter for human beings since the beginning of human history. Ancient apes lived on trees and obtained food from trees. They are the homes of human beings. This is why many myths have spiritualized trees. Then the apes came down from the tree for unknown reasons and started hunting civilization. After the industrial revolution, the relationship between humans and trees has changed from cutting down to cultivation. From our ancient times to modern times, the relationship between humans and trees is complex and intimate. And, the tree itself is both natural and civilized to study the human civilization system, and the tree is a link that must be observed.”

Du Leng was a little surprised by this insight and insight that far exceeded his peers. He looked at Cheng Mo's innocent baby face and said with a smile: "Everything has its own way, but in the final analysis it is human beings. The meaning given to them, if human beings do not exist, they will not have the meaning of existence. The younger brother is erudite and talented, no wonder Minyun treats you differently, she must come when you come.”

Seeing that Du Leng bluntly stated the reason for inviting him to come, Cheng Mo shook his head and said, "I just read a few idle books and understood a little bit of fallacies and heresies. She wanted me to come, just because of some minor conflicts with me. Just watch my jokes."

Seeing that Chengmo took the initiative to distance himself from Xie Minyun, Du Leng walked down the steps and said with a smile, "Then you still underestimate Minyun, I believe she is not so stingy. Let's go, let's go to the lawn."

Cheng Mo didn't say anything, just followed Du Leng's footsteps and thought to himself: I hope she's not so stingy, but no matter what, she must speak as little as possible in the future. , without attracting the attention of others.

From a distance, he could see a group of people standing on the lawn, all dressed in bright clothes, all in high spirits, and the ratio of males and females was just right. Bands, flower decorations, it was a lot of money, a barbecue party. It's very scary, and this meal will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Although Du Leng stood at the door and waited for Cheng Mo, he did not introduce Cheng Mo to everyone as grandly as he did with Xie Minyun, but only introduced Cheng Mo to the circle with the largest number of people, and said in a flat tone: "This is Cheng Mo from the first year of high school. .is a very interesting apprentice, let's get to know him."

Everyone cast their eyes on Cheng Mo, who was not astonishing in appearance, dressed in plain clothes and carrying a bag, but turned away in a flash, and basically didn't even have the desire to say hello, because most people thought at a glance that the person in front of him did not. What good to watch.

Some people also looked at Cheng Mo a few more times, that was Shen Mengjie. She didn't expect that Du Leng actually invited Cheng Mo, so she snorted slightly. Besides, Cheng Mo's arrival did not cause any ripples, he was insignificant. Not even a pebble, but it was just as he wished.

Du Leng didn't care about everyone's indifference to Cheng Mo. He never felt that a nerd who was late to such an important party in order to study trees could fit into their circle, and asked again, "What are you talking about? , chatting so happily?"

Standing next to Cheng Xiao, Yu Junshan said: "We are talking about music, why Korean pop music has progressed so fast in recent years."

Du Leng said: "Then Xiao Xiao must have the most say in this matter."

Cheng Xiao, who is in the position of the stars and the moon, showed a sweet smile and said: "How can I have any say, I have been a trainee before, and I have only debuted for two years. In fact, I just like singing and dancing. For these The in-depth content is not very understandable.”

Cheng Mo turned his head to look at Cheng Xiao, who was talking. He was wearing a Chinese red dragon cheongsam, with a slender figure, a thick beauty, and a very healing smile. When she spoke, almost everyone looked at her intently. Two peach blossoms with almond eyes, a smile and a frown are all poems.

Xie Minyun was not among the people in this circle, and Cheng Xiao alone was the only one who stood out and overwhelmed the crowd.

Cheng Mo naturally doesn't know who Cheng Xiao is. He doesn't have much interest in pop music, and he doesn't know much about the Bangguo girl group. If there is any intersection between Cheng Mo and pop music, it can barely be counted as jazz music. and modern symphony.

These two types of music have a lower threshold for appreciation than classical music.

In Cheng Mo's opinion, listening to music and reading are the same thing. Ordinary people read books and read stories. People who are a little bit interested in literature will not only read stories but also read writing. Professional readers will try to deconstruct this book. In a book, the plot is the skeleton, the words are the flesh, and the thought is the brain. They can understand the author's story structure, writing techniques, and deep-seated content.

However, for books worthy of deconstruction, there are thresholds for reading and understanding. The more difficult the book, the greater the joy of reading.

The same is true for listening to music. People with a certain knowledge of music, listening to jazz and symphony, can appreciate these skills that ordinary people cannot appreciate.It turns out that this kind of harmonic progression is used here, it turns out that this kind of tonality is used here, it turns out that this chord can be improvised with this tone.

To put it more simply, you don't understand the skills of the blind monk, and even if you haven't played League of Legends, how do you know how good the opponent is?

The reason why pop music is popular is because there is no threshold for appreciating pop music. Just like today's literary works, Xiaobaishu is the mainstream, and it is also because there is no threshold for reading Xiaobaishu.

All of Cheng Mo's knowledge reserves are higher than that of ordinary people and lower than that of professionals. To put it poorly, he understands everything, but nothing is at the top level. However, compared with the current young people, Cheng Mo is a A well-deserved scholar and a know-it-all.

However, even if Cheng Mo is erudite and talented, most people in this society still look at their faces or money. In the era of knowledge explosion, knowledge does not seem to be so valuable.

But for Cheng Mo, all this knowledge is his understanding of the world.

Cheng Mo did not participate in the discussion. Although he knew nothing about K-pop music, when it comes to classical music and music history, it is estimated that few people present can speak to him.

He quietly withdrew from the crowd, intending to grab something to eat on the dining table, then find a corner that no one was paying attention to, and start his own work.
