Chapter 51: Pursuit
"This ...... Chen Xingzhi is indeed worthy of being able to associate with Mr. Jie'an. Huang Shao looked through the porthole at Chen Xian, who was happily raising a glass and drinking in the cabin.
Gao An sighed with emotion: "Xing is not very old, but he already has such a long thought, no wonder he doesn't mind Jin Wensheng's provocation." ”
"Bang, bang-" Two more firecrackers rang out.
However, the painting boats in the lake were still in an uproar, and they didn't give the next Liu Yanyan any face.
"Next, Miss Liu Yanyan of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion......" Even though the host was hoarse, her voice was still buried in the surging noisy shouts.
Liu Yanyan appeared, and she could vaguely distinguish words such as "Chen Xingzhi-", "Eternal Quatrain-", and "Xiangyun-" from the clamor and shouts like the mountains and tsunamis.
Her face is not pretty.
Even when the drums played and she danced with long sleeves, it didn't make those people turn their attention back to herself.
This feeling...... It's as if you're dancing alone on the edge of the house when you're not yet famous, while the guests sitting around are chatting to themselves.
Originally, she had the largest number of flower sticks, but at the moment she performed her most gorgeous dance, and in this cold wind, no one seemed to care.
During the dance, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the number of lots that had just been updated.
Xiangyun has already topped the list, with a number of thirteen thousand seven hundred and seventy branches, and a gap of nearly four thousand flower lots, so that she no longer has any idea of winning.
In fact, she was able to keep the number of lotteries high before, because the two sons of the family she knew called friends and gave each of these friends a hundred taels of silver to let them vote for themselves. This can be regarded as a kind of cheating, but when she saw the gap between the four thousand flower sticks, she already knew clearly that cheating was useless at this moment.
The look on her face became more and more lost, and finally she withdrew in the midst of the chaos and noise.
"Feng Niang-" Xiangyun just walked into the room, and he saluted.
Song Jinfeng looked at Xiangyun for a long time with a strange expression, and only after a long time did he twist his eyebrows and said, "Chen Xian's guy is really a little crooked, and he actually ...... Even ...... Forget it, Xiaochai, you all go and prepare! ”
"What do you want the slave family to prepare?" Xiangyun was stunned.
Song Jinfeng suddenly couldn't hold back a laugh: "When Si Yao's performance is over, the two of you will go to the stage again to thank the guests!" ”
Xiangyun was shocked in his heart, and took the stage to thank the guests, this is the honor of the last winner of the Oiran competition, and the former Oiran Lu Xiaochai will symbolize the Oiran shawl draped on his shoulders, from now on, you Xiangyun is the leader of all flowers in the city of Hangzhou!
Lu Xiaochai laughed, she saw that Xiangyun was still in a daze, so she blinked and reminded: "Sister Xiangyun, you are not festive enough to wear this dress!" Go and change into the red jacket you have prepared! ”
"Oh!" Xiangyun woke up like a dream, so he followed the maid to the back room in a panic.
On the viewing platform not far away, the Si Yao girl of the Dream Pavilion is dancing quickly with the passionate tune, her posture is graceful and soft, and she often makes difficult movements to split her legs and lower her waist, plus she only wears a light green tulle dance dress today, with a pink shawl hanging on her shoulders, when dancing violently, she can vaguely see the white greasy and smooth flesh color, which really attracts a lot of attention.
Si Yao already has a big gap with Liu Yanyan and Liang Wan'er in terms of fame, and there are many fewer fans, she has long not had the mentality of winning the Oiran.
When she finished dancing, several maidservants made a final update on the number of lots.
Xiangyun proudly ranked first with 14,900 flower sticks, Liang Wan'er was second with 11,000 flower sticks, and Liu Yanyan, who was originally the most popular, did not pull many lots in the final key link because of the influence of "Linjiang Immortal", but was surpassed by Si Yao with 9,400 flower sticks.
In the cabin on the second floor of the Yingying Boat, Qian Jin looked at Chen Xian with a surprised face, looked at Chen Xian like a monster, and asked, "Okay, haven't you been guided by an immortal recently?" ”
"With the guidance of the immortals, I might as well just ask him to arrange a first-class master for me!" Chen Xian smiled bitterly and waved his hand.
Mi Yun has been sitting in front of Chen Xian without saying a word, and his eyes have been staring at the latter, and after a long time, he really looked at Chen Xian's heart, and said helplessly: "Mi Gongzi, if you have something to say, you can ...... it."
Mi Yu was slightly stunned, hurriedly looked away, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Okay, I didn't expect you to be so open-minded, right or wrong...... In the capital, everything I think about all day long can only be reduced to a joke of ancient and modern times! ”
Chen Xianxin said: Oh no, this guy didn't have a bit of a motivated mentality, and he was provoked by Yang Shen's words, isn't he preparing to become a monk?
Thinking of this, Chen Xian hurriedly waved his hand and asked with a straight face: "Mi Gongzi, what is the biggest difference between humans and animals?" ”
"......" Mi Yun was stunned by his brainless question, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied uncertainly: "Mencius said: The four hearts of compassion, shame, resignation, and right and wrong are the essential differences between humans and animals. ”
Chen Xian saw that he had such a simple question, and this guy could actually get involved with Yasheng, so he pursed his lips and said: "Xun Ziri: The nature of today's people is born with good profits, and they fight for life and give up their deaths; Born with disease and evil, obedient and crippled, born faithful and perishable; Born with the desire of ears and eyes, with a good voice and lust, obedient is fornication, and is born with etiquette, righteousness, literature and science. ”
In fact, what the two of them discussed is no longer the difference between humans and animals, Mencius advocated that everyone has a heart for good, while Xunzi advocated that "evil" is the nature of human nature, and "good" is the transformation of human nature.
Seeing that Chen Xian said such a thing in Xunzi's words, Mi Yu didn't know why, and only felt that a word could be related to the good and evil of human nature, and he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Xing, what do you want to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"In fact, whether it is Xunzi or Mencius, no matter what point of view, in my opinion, they all speak of human nature." Chen Xian said: "And human nature is all-encompassing, and the most important point is feelings. ”
"There is the feeling of licking, the love of men and women, and the love of loyalty to the family and country." When Chen Xian said this, he sighed, looked at Mi Yun in front of him and said: "The fundamental difference between this person and an animal is that people have affection, although animals also have the instinct to lick, and even take care of injured companions, but most of them are because of instinct. ”
"Therefore, Brother Mi must not forget the essence of human nature because of a word, or a momentary setback, there are still many places in this world that you have not been to, many people you have never seen, and many feelings that you have not experienced. In this case, why should Brother Mi think about something indifferent to the world? ”
Mi Yu was stunned for a long time before muttering: "What does Xingzhi mean is that there are still many things in the world that are worth pursuing?" ”
