Chapter 698: Simplicity and extravagance
Chapter 698: Simplicity and extravagance
It is said that the Wang family has deep roots and many talents, even if the big tree of Wang Yun has fallen, there are still two brothers, Wang Ling and Wang Chang, who support the faΓ§ade of the Wang family.
When it comes to martial arts, the Wang brothers are both among the best, and they are also very brilliant in the official history. It's just that under the ambition, the Wang family still belongs to the so-called royalist faction, and compared with other families, it always seems to be high and disgusting. Moreover, the point of disagreement between Chen Long and Wang Yun is that the people are the masters of the country instead of the feudal monarchy, so the contradictions are irreconcilable at all.
Chen Long looked at the heroic Wang brothers, and sighed deeply in his heart, if it is said that the three kingdoms can unify their thoughts, then it is not called a troubled era. For the sake of his own ideals, he can only do his best and die, and there is neither right nor wrong, nor the West and East. These two brothers will inevitably become one of the main opponents of the Blue Dragon Army, and their talents will be annihilated by history, and perhaps the flesh will be wiped out by my Chen Long.
This feeling of helplessness flashed away, and Wang Chang raised his glass at this time. Wang Ling and Wang Chang are not brothers, but their relationship at the moment is better than that of brothers, the two have the same heart, and asked in unison: "Brother Huaiyang, how do you know our cousins?" β
To say that at that time, Wang Ling and Wang Chang were not very famous, but just the younger generations of the Wang family. Although the family status is quite high, it is still too far from being famous in the world. So they were all curious and surprised that Huaiyang directly called their cousins.
Chen Long knew that his erudite and knowledgeable problem was not easy to change, so he thought about it and smiled: "I won't tell you, this little bit of effort from my little brother is all given by my immortal master." This is the fate of my seniors, and I can't say it. In short, in addition to his outstanding martial arts, my immortal master has in-depth research on the major families in the land of China, and he has a lot of treasures for their outstanding children, so the younger brother can know your words. β
This sentence is half-true and half-false, in fact, what the light brain in Chen Long's mind knows and records is a real immortal existence. This sentence indirectly answered everyone's common doubts, and everyone, including Ma Yunluo, was a little overwhelmed and dumbfounded.
Just as Chen Yuan and Chen Yi also raised their glasses and walked over, Chen Yuan heard this sentence and asked coquettishly: "Brother Huai, is there really a fairy master in this world?" You must take me to see my master. β
At this moment, the ranks of young people expanded again, and Chen Long thought to himself why the Xiangyun Alliance had forgotten to greet Chen Yuan's brothers and sisters, and said with a wry smile: "Master Shenlong is in the sky, traveling in the four seas, and I don't know where he is." If he wants to see me, he will find me. Chen Yuan's eyes widened and said: "There are many masters in the world, which is really fascinating." β
Diao Chan was beside her, and immediately noticed that Chen Yuan was a little sister, seeing that she was familiar with Chen Long, she couldn't help but smile and purse her lips, her husband ****, is not very good at rejecting beautiful women, but he has great respect for women, which is the gift of women in this era. This smile was full of charm, Wang Ling next to him was immediately stunned, Diao Chan hurriedly lowered his head and shrank behind the tall Ma Yunluo.
The more gentle the woman, the more protective the man is, Wang Ling saw the two beauties in front, and he was confused for a while, and stepped forward and said: "Sister Shuang, under Wang Ling, the word Yanyun, is now a little Zhongshan Taishou." If there is a fate, I also invite Sister Shuang to be a guest on my side. β
Diao Chan had no choice but to nod slightly, his face returned to a cold face, obviously not wanting to be accosted by Wang Ling. Wang Ling loved it more and more, and took another step forward, Ma Yunluo's face turned cold, and he raised his palm to push Wang Ling away and said, "Brother Yanyun is self-respecting." β
Wang Ling's face changed slightly, knowing that he was a little out of shape, he took a few steps back hatefully, and said: "I see that Sister Shuang is very friendly, just like my own sister, please forgive me for the abruptness." But his eyes were like he was on fire, staring at Diao Chan. Wang Chang next to him was calm and constant, knowing that this small circle was not very welcoming to them, so he pulled Wang Ling to nod and leave.
Wang Ling reluctantly turned his head and stared at Diao Chan a few times, then at Chen Long a few times, and left in a huff. At this time, the banquet was in full swing, countless people toasted and shuttled, just when the sky was dark, Ma Yunluo ordered people to light lanterns and torches, and immediately the entire Xiangyun Pavilion showed a red, adding a dreamy color.
Chen Long remembered the agreement with Cheng Gongying, and in a few hours, it was the time to cross the river with Huang Yan to touch Li Ru's tiger buttocks. was lamenting in his heart that he couldn't rest for an extra day, at this time, Zheng Xuan walked slowly, smiled at everyone, and everyone hurriedly saluted and praised together: "Master Zheng! β
This Confucian master's eyes are clear, as if his wisdom is as deep as the sea. While smiling, he said to Ma Yunluo: "This banquet is so rich, the Tianshui Gang is really rich!" As he spoke, he shook the patched Confucian clothes, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
Ma Yunluo's face suddenly turned red, and he bowed his head and said: "What Master Zheng said is that the students are indeed not economical enough, which is contrary to the simplicity of Confucianism. If Master Zheng agrees, I should announce that the banquet is over. β
Zheng Xuan nodded slightly, and was just about to speak, Chen Long saw that Ma Yunluo was a little unconvinced, and asked with a smile: "Master Zheng, I have always believed that simplicity and extravagance are relative concepts, and tonight's banquet is not very extravagant compared to those wealthy families, let alone extravagance." In order to organize this grand event, the horse gang leader has to be lively and everyone has fun, which can be said to be a painstaking effort. β
Ma Yunluo didn't expect that Chen Long would come forward to speak for him, so he couldn't help but open his mouth, but Zheng Xuan became interested and asked, "Little brother, tell me, is there a difference between luxury and extravagance?" β
Chen Long stubbornly said: "Well, if the cost of something exceeds the basic needs of the thing, talking about some improper and unappropriate consumption items and activities, or the consumption is not commensurate with personal income, there are also consumers who are exaggerated and have strange and cumbersome rituals. If business pursues financial profit and violates the ethical norms and hierarchical order, it is naturally a negative social phenomenon and should be criticized. β
Therefore, the so-called extravagance of today's people generally refers to the aspect of life, and it is mainly the content of the economy, at best, with the consideration of social morality and lifestyle, and the so-called luxury refers to the consumption beyond one's own economic affordability. None of the above belong to the gang leader, so it has nothing to do with extravagance, I don't know if it's right? β
After saying that, Chen Long looked at Zheng Xuan and was relieved to see his smile expand. But Zheng Xuan will never agree with this set of fallacies, but he is just awkward, is there any mysterious philosophy in it?
