Chapter 185: The Women of the Northern Tang Dynasty (II)
The word sage should not be used indiscriminately.
There are seventy-two disciples under the Confucian throne, and they are respected by the world as sages, and the first ten of them are also called the ten philosophers. Therefore, the word sage has become a synonym for the disciples of Confucianism.
They were all literati leaders who governed their respective academies. In particular, the ten philosophers, as the mainstay, enjoy great respect in Confucianism, and the world dare to insult them in public.
Yue Zhongqi was too young, so naturally he couldn't be among the sages. He detained Xiao Jinsan for insulting the sage on his head because the other party scolded a wild seed.
This is also scolding his father. And his father was one of the ten philosophers.
Everyone present reacted very quickly, and as soon as they heard Yue Zhongqi's surname, they guessed that his father should be the dean of Yuelu Academy, Mr. Ten, Yue Songtao.
"No wonder he is so generous and arrogant, it turns out that he is the only son of Mr. Ten."
The crowd had the same idea in their hearts.
Yue Songtao dotes on his son, which is famous. Not long ago, Yue Zhongqi crippled Wu Daozi's eldest son, and it was a sensation, which made people feel his flying and domineering.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him was his own figure.
When Yue Zhongqi first entered Beijing, he was about to break ground on the head of this Xiao Taisui, and some people watched this excitement.
Xiao Jinsan's face was extremely ugly, and after only a short while, he had already eaten twice, and all the kicks he hit were iron plates.
Muhou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, how can this Confucian ten philosophers be easy to provoke?
He was patient and made amends to Yue Zhongqi, but there was no kindness in his eyes.
"It's me who lost my words, it turned out to be the son-in-law of Yuelu Academy. The so-called ignorant is not guilty, Mr. Ten has a lot, and he must not care about my junior. ”
Yue Zhongqi snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "You have all seen it, it's not that I'm a Confucian, but someone who wants to bully me, a foreigner, and I have to show my identity!" ”
He was domineering, and deliberately said such things at this moment, how could he have the slightest sense of necessity, and he was clearly showing off his might in front of everyone.
Xiao Jinsan smiled indifferently, "Gongzi Yue is serious. I'm just worried that someone is shouting prices all over the sky, and in this grand auction, if someone cheats the auction and can't get the money, won't it be fun? ”
The words are thorny, and they are secretly sharp.
Yue Zhongqi sat back in his seat, crossed Erlang's legs, and said arrogantly: "It's only a few million taels, I can still handle it, I'm afraid you don't have the confidence to fight with me!" ”
Everyone sighed in their hearts, looking at the situation in front of them, Mr. Ten was indeed too pampered when he was old, causing Yue Zhongqi to be so unpopular.
Xiao Jinsan's eyes narrowed slightly, and when he sat back in his seat, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Two and a half million!"
If he doesn't fight for the sword, he will not give up easily this time.
"Three million!"
Yue Zhongqi has never taken money to heart, anyway, there is his family's academy behind him.
"Three and a half million!"
"Four million!"
The two of them went back and forth,-for-tat, as if ignoring the other guests in the room.
Everyone was also silent, watching the fight between the two gentlemen with cold eyes.
Suddenly, in front of the guest seat, a voice sounded coldly.
"Eight million!"
Everyone's hearts trembled violently, and their breathing was almost stagnant. Who is it, and the price is directly increased to eight million!
It's only the second round, but it's just competing for the final seat, and it's far from the time to fight with all your might, if you don't agree with a word, you will throw eight million, is this really good!
The most important thing is, who is so bold and dares to intervene in the duel between the two?
Everyone followed the prestige, and the voice came from the direction where the Xue family was located.
"Xue family, no wonder ......"
Their expressions were sudden, and after trying to understand the joints, they even looked at the next situation with an interesting expression.
Xiao Jinsan fell silent.
Eight million is not a small amount, and with the financial resources of the Xiao family, it is not possible to spend money like the big family, without blinking an eyelid.
The reason why the Xiao family was able to gain a firm foundation in the capital never relied on the family heritage, but the iron umbrella. He dared to stand up and bid, but he also wanted to scare everyone away, and he didn't really intend to win with financial resources.
Now, there are real big families involved, and he can't help but quit.
Yue Zhongqi was shocked and angry, and suddenly stood up.
It's not that he doesn't dare to fight, with the Yue family's power in Xiangxi, he can afford to fight at all. The problem is that he doesn't have that much cash in his hands, and the auction certainly doesn't owe anything.
"Today's account, I wrote it down! Report your name, and you will be the enemy of Yuelu Academy in the future! ”
He was furious, and he had decided to notify his family immediately later to take revenge on the family who dared to argue with him.
He would not have imagined that at this time, in the hearts of the onlookers, they were full of ridicule at him, gloating in anticipation of what kind of wonderful expression he would have when he knew the truth.
They knew very well that others might be afraid of Mr. Ten Yue Songtao, but the Xue family would not.
Because the Xue family has a Mr. Six.
It is a contest within Confucianism, what else can Yue Songtao use to scare the other party?
If you talk about seniority, Xue Yubing is the sixth, and how old is you Yue Songtao?
It's a pity that Yue Zhongqi, who came from other places, didn't know about it, and wanted to interrogate the details and settle accounts after the autumn.
On the seat of the Xue family, one person said coldly, it was still the one who quoted just now, but it was not Mr. Six himself.
"I respect Mu Hou, so in the first round, I was silent to show my respect. But that doesn't mean that Miss Mu is qualified to be my opponent. ”
The person who said this was a woman in Tsing Yi.
Not far away, Mu Qingmeng turned around and stared at the woman, as if facing a great enemy, and the battle intent burning in the depths of her pupils.
As a woman, her biggest goal is of course to become the number one female genius today before she defeats more men.
And the woman in front of her is a peak that she needs to cross first.
Xue Qingwu.
As the former swordsman of the Sword Saint, Xue Qingwu's arrogance is the same. She didn't stand up, she still sat there, and her words were close to Mu Qingmeng.
"I took the second Sword Sutra. I hope that when the court is tested, Miss Mu can still have today's sharpness, and don't let me down. ”
Women are jealous.
Just now, Mu Qingmeng's sharpness was revealed, making all the guests retreat, and she had the look of a heroine among women. Seeing that the limelight was robbed, as the first strange woman in swordsmanship, Xue Qingwu was of course unwilling to be left behind.
Whether it is cultivation or limelight, she doesn't want to lose to any woman of the same age. From childhood to adulthood, when talking about female geniuses, all over the capital will give a thumbs up, and the first to recommend the Xue family's daughter, who has she ever lost?
She attended this auction to prepare for the Great Dynasty Trial. Now, before the Great Dynasty Trial began, the two strongest female geniuses began to cheer in front of the heroes in the capital.
Compete for beauty and don't give in to each other.
Seeing this scene, people can't help but look forward to what kind of grand occasion it will be during the imperial examination.
In the room on the second floor, Ren Zhen shook his head.
Since entering the Northern Tang Dynasty, the person he has been most tired of is Xue Qingwu, and there is no one. It's rare that he was in a good mood and actually saw this unhappy woman again.
As a modern man, he accepts the equality of men and women and is free of gender discrimination. But he also believes that men and women have different advantages and disadvantages, and if they can't realize this, they will always want to become the same as the opposite sex, and they will be psychologically distorted, extreme, and even perverted.
So he has always believed that women should make themselves strong, but not too strong, too strong. Once it is too strong, the shortcomings of the endured character will burst out and lose restraint.
Women can pursue equality, but they can't overemphasize and care about equality. Otherwise, everything will be unequal, and in their eyes, as long as women are not inferior to men, they are not equal between men and women.
It's not just Xue Qingwu, Mu Qingmeng, and Gu Haitang in front of him that make him feel these feelings.
In fact, since he came to this world, he had no doubt that the Northern Tang Dynasty under the rule of Empress Wu Qingyi would sooner or later cause countless troubles because of her feminine nature.
Knowing the male and guarding the female, it is too difficult for both parties to accept themselves.
"Women, when can you learn to be gentle and virtuous, kind and considerate, why do you have to live like a man?"
