Song Xingling saw that Xia Yanran was so protective of a person, and couldn't help but pay more attention to him, coupled with Li Jingmao's hints and his performance before, it shows that this ordinary kid is actually not simple.

He is a smart man, knows how to advance and retreat, and also knows how to be a good person, he stepped forward to pay a big gift: "It was General Xiahou who was reckless, I will apologize to the two of you on his behalf, I hope not to disturb your Yaxing." ”

Li Jingmao, the dog-legged man, lost no time in saying: "I heard that Jiang Kui recently wrote a book "Speaking of China", in the book "Speaking of China", he mentioned the land of Dahua and the system of the imperial examination, what are your opinions. ”

It turned out that the scholar who was a little hunchbacked was called Jiang Kui, and just now he was the only one who was more kind to Liang Qiang, Shen Feng couldn't sit down here, so he got up and said, "Everyone, talk slowly, I'll go back first." "I offended Gu Biluo today, but it wasn't too troublesome, the most troublesome thing was that I met Xiahou Zai, he had already begun to doubt himself, Xiahou Zai and Xiahou Tu are brothers, the two of them will definitely come to find trouble again, I didn't expect to hide and hide, or fell for Sister Shu's scheme, this time it's really a big game, thinking of this, I am no longer in the mood to stay.

Xia Yanran blushed and said hurriedly: "Please sit down Shen Gongzi for a while, it is my fault to make Gongzi unhappy, and then let's talk about Mr. Jiang's masterpiece "Saying Hua", presumably Gongzi will be very interested." ”

Khan, obviously wanting me to stay, so that I could return my belly pocket to her.

Song Xingling also said: "Please also ask Brother Shen to stay, take this opportunity, I can also get acquainted with Brother Shen, I can be treated by Miss Xia and above, presumably Brother Shen must be a person with excellent character and learning." ”

Now I still can't figure him out, as of today, I only know that he is pursuing Xia Yanran, as for whether he will target himself, it's really hard to say, Shen Feng smiled lightly: "I'm just an ordinary businessman, and learning is of no use to me at all, and the golden mean and the way of a gentleman don't apply to me." ”

Li Jingmao's face changed, and he said sharply: "Brother Shen's words are wrong, the golden mean is the saint Kui Bao, from the emperor to the common people, should be carried forward, in order to enrich the country and strengthen the people." ”

I really can't find some sense of superiority for these old-fashioned and backward ancient people, because each era has the characteristics of each era, and I don't bother to argue with them about anything, and Li Jingmao is obviously suspected of stirring up trouble, Shen Feng didn't want to pay attention to him, just smiled, and then fell silent.

Song Xingling's observation was good, and seeing that his face was a little disdainful, he said: "Brother Shen seems to have something he doesn't want to say, I like to listen to some unique opinions the most, Brother Shen can make the restaurant sound and impressive, presumably there must be something unique in his heart." ”

This sentence seems to be speaking for him, but in fact it is not, the golden mean, the way of the gentleman who worshiped in ancient times, are all nationally recognized orthodoxy, even if your views are incisive, it is also a matter of condemnation in the world, because this is no longer a question of right or wrong, but a problem involving the system.

In the face of him throwing out such a sensitive question, others may hide what they say, but Shen Feng has never been a person who is afraid of things, whether in modern or ancient times, Shen Feng is an outspoken person, there is a saying, how big the heart is, how big the stage is, if a person's mind is bound, the pattern that belongs to him must be limited, so you must dare to think and fight.

Xia Yanran temporarily threw away Fang Cai's shame and anger, and reminded in an accentuated tone: "The golden mean, the way of a gentleman, is the foundation of thousands of years of country, I don't think there is any need to discuss it." Only she really thinks about Shen Feng here, she knows that Shen Feng either doesn't speak, or he must be amazing, if he says something that shouldn't be said and is heard by the villain, he will definitely admit that others are holding him hostage in the future.

Shen Feng had already affirmed that Song Xingling had the intention of targeting himself, and said with a sneer: "Throughout the ages, the golden mean, the way of a gentleman are the foundation of the country, and these dogmas have also attracted northern nomads to compete to learn, but it is precisely because of being bound to the golden mean, the way of a gentleman, that it is difficult for our country to develop." ”

Jiang Kui in the adjacent seat couldn't help but nod when he heard this, Li Jingmao changed his previous style of smiling tiger, and said directly and sternly: "What you said is inevitably a bit exaggerated, the ancient law is that the Son of Heaven must also abide by it, so as to make heaven and man unified, the so-called unity of heaven and man, that is, the unity of sincerity and goodness, to achieve neutralization, the status of heaven, all things are cultivated, only the world is sincere, in order to be able to do its best." If you can do the best of your nature, you can fulfill the nature of people, if you can do the nature of things, if you can do the nature of things, you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, and if you can praise the transformation and education of heaven and earth, you can participate in the relationship with heaven and earth.

Li Jingmao quoted a lot of scriptures, and finally said with a proud expression: "The law of the sage is to make the world achieve the highest harmony and the most beautiful, how do you say that the constraint of the country lies in this." ”

Shen Feng's most impatient thing is debate, and what he is best at is also debate, for the ancient people, Shen Feng's pioneering thinking far surpassed that of people of this era, and it can completely crush his thoughts: "The golden mean, the way of the gentleman, the law of the sage, these dogmas are all firmly believed in the inherent goodness of human nature, whether it is human nature is inherently evil or human nature is inherently evil, in fact, they are not completely correct, so the saint advocates a supreme and perfect heaven and earth, which is completely whimsical, and the wicked want the world to become a purgatory on earth that is the most evil and ugly, which is also impossible." ”

"There is no so-called good and evil in human nature, because good and evil are not human instincts, greed, is the eternal human nature, from the baby in the mother's womb, people have greed, hungry to eat, cold to warm, hot to cool - Gradually, people began to be dissatisfied with this, they used to walk too tired and too slow, people began to invent horse-drawn carriages, houses were too old and too dilapidated, people began to build gardens and palaces, married wives and old pearls, people began to ask for the second room aunt, these are people's greed, with greed, there will be competition, there will be contradictions, contradictions will never disappear, because people can never erase their own greed, so the saint said that heaven and man can never be realized!"

This argument is more convincing than those quotations, and he directly returns to the perspective of human nature to criticize his statement, which is not over, Shen Feng continued: "I am not denying these ancient laws, after all, these ancient methods have made outstanding contributions to the world, it enables us to learn to live in harmony, accumulate virtue and do good, but the times are different, the derivation of these ancient laws is in the era of war, there is no development, only red~." At that time, these ancient methods were admired to help calm the war and make the people live in peace, but now the people are still stable, what they need is a more convenient and richer life, and the country is not enough to let the people have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Jiang Kui, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "If you follow what Brother Shen said, wouldn't it intensify the infighting?"

Shen Feng shook his head and said, " Increase internal competition in order to make the country rich and strong, I give an example, I used to spend a month is one or two silver, see others eat well, dress well, and marry a beautiful wife, I am ruthless, next month's expenses become ten taels of silver, which is the extra nine taels of silver, is the next month to pay more efforts, so I want to use my brain to try my best to make money, here suppose I am a manufacturer of ceramics, before the ceramics did not have patterns, so I want to find a way to make ceramics have patterns and patterns, so that everyone comes to buy my ceramics, gradually, not only nine taels of silver earned back, but also made a lot of money。 ”

"There is a saying that things are man-made, don't look at people's wisdom and creativity, the more competition there is, the more the country and the people can be rich and strong, if you are satisfied with the present, you will only rest on your laurels, and one day-" At the end, he shook his head.

Jiang Kui, Xia Yanran, Liang Qiang, and Song Xingling present had already heard his voice, and Li Jingmao said out of place: "Brother Shen still hasn't explained your arguments. ”

Shen Feng couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't understand enough, the golden mean is too content with peace, only lack of progress, especially for those who are in power, the golden mean is not to be blindly worshipped, those who do not act in the regime will stagnate the country, be content with pleasure, corrupt officials and corrupt officials will also increase, the rich will become richer and richer, and the poor will become poorer and poorer." ”

Liang Kai experienced ups and downs in his early years, so he was most touched by Shen Feng's words, and regardless of whether his words were rebellious, he immediately expressed his support: "Brother Shen's words today are really thought-provoking, and I admire Brother Shen's talent very much. ”

Li Jingmao said sharply: "It's ridiculous, it is so ridiculous that it is shaking the foundation of the country here." ”

Xia Yanran was about to open his mouth to relieve the siege for him, but Song Xingling took the lead and said: "I think Brother Shen didn't mean that, Brother Shen is just a businessman, how can he shake the foundation of the country." ”

This innocuous sentence let everyone know that Song Xingling was speaking for Shen Feng, and let everyone admire Song Xingling's bearing, everyone knew that Song Xingling was pursuing Xia Yanran, but Xia Yanran looked at Shen Feng differently, and now Song Xingling is defending Shen Feng, which is definitely in line with the gentleman's temperament in ancient times.

Among the crowd, only Shen Feng felt uncomfortable, just now he deliberately fell into the trap under Song Xingling, in order to see the purpose of Song Xingling, he made a trap, and said good things for himself, which invisibly gave Xia Yanran a good impression.

But there is likely to be another meaning hidden behind this sentence, if Song Xingling plays a trick against himself in the future, then no one will suspect Song Xingling.

Now I am not sure whether he wants to deal with himself, or simply say good things for himself, Song Xingling is a person who has a deep city, and is very good at figuring out the hearts of others, now it seems that the first possibility is greater, it seems that he needs to be wary of him in the future - Khan, this day will be hostile to the three people, it seems that the days of this capital will be more colorful than Shengzhou.

Everyone talked about some books again, during which Xia Yanran and Shen Feng were absent-minded, and soon, everyone quit and retired one after another, and after Xia Yanran sent Song Xingling away, she returned to the small pavilion.
