The third floor is mostly full of literati and elegant guests, but compared to the noisy first floor, it is much cleaner. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Li Xiangjun was wearing a Confucian costume, pretending to be a child, sitting on a chair, holding a small plum blossom cup, drinking wine in front of the Yangtze River. Huan'er dressed as a scholar and followed aside, and several guards also dressed as servants and followed alongside, at first glance, it looked like a little boy from a family ran out to play.

"Brother Li, I haven't come yet, so you can drink it first." Zheng Sen walked over, sat down next to Li Xiangjun, and said, "Drinking Linjiang, Brother Li is really good Yaxing." ”

"I can only 'drink in the river', but I can't 'write poems like Brother Zheng'." Li Xiangjun replied with a smile like a flower.

"It's okay to have a horizontal lance, just write a poem." Zheng Sen said with a smile, "When it comes to poetry, I'm not as good as Brother Li." The ancients said that 'the yellow crane plays the jade flute on the tower', and Brother Li's skill in playing the flute is a must. I don't know if I'm lucky enough to hear it today? ”

Li Xiangjun put down the plum blossom cup and said: "It's not difficult for me to play the flute, but Brother Zheng needs to have poems." ”

Zheng Sen said: "It's okay to write poems, so I search for dry intestines, and I can always come up with a few sentences of nonsense, but I'm afraid of tarnishing your tune." ”

While saying that, Zheng Sen picked up the wine jug himself, poured himself a full glass, and said: "Why don't I write a poem, how about three glasses of wine first?" ”

Li Xiangjun glanced at Zheng Sen and said, "How can you have such a reason?" But he turned his head and said to Huan'er, "Go and take out my flute." ”

Huan'er answered, went to the bookcase next to him, took out a flute made of purple bamboo, and handed it over. Li Xiangjun took the flute, dipped it in a silk scarf and wiped it gently, then put the flute to his lips, tried the sound first, and then blew.

Zheng Sen is not very familiar with the flute, so that he can't hear what kind of tune Li Xiangjun is playing, but he also feels that the flute is like a spring breeze, thousands of trees and flowers are blooming, and a group of warblers are crying wildly; Like a flock of larks, they screamed and swirled, flying higher and higher, until they reached the high place where they could not be seen......

At the end of the song, Li Xiangjun put down the flute, smiled, and said in a low voice: "I've finished playing this song, do you have your poems?" ”

Before Zheng Sen could answer, he suddenly heard someone in the seat applauding and said, "Good flute, I didn't expect to hear such a flute here." ”

As the man spoke, he stood up, walked to Li Xiangjun and Zheng Sen, and said slightly: "A certain Wuchang Kong Zhang, today and all of you are in this small meeting, not like the lucky enough to hear the fairy song, it is really like hearing the fairy music for a while." ”

Zheng Sen also stood up and said, "Boy Jinjiang Zheng Sen, this is my friend Li Xiang." ”

Then Kong Zhang said: "But Zheng Damu, who wrote "The Origin of Species"? ”

Zheng Sen didn't answer yet, but Li Xiangjun preemptively said, "It's not him, but who is it?" ”

When Kong Zhang heard this, he invited Zheng Sen and others to party with them. Zheng Sen wanted to take this opportunity to learn about some of the situation in Wuchang, so naturally he would not refuse. Kong Zhang and the others are all local students in Wuchang, and they are at this meeting. My Ming show talent has a common characteristic, that is, he likes to talk about government politics. Even in the literary meetings of the talents, most of the time, writing poems and essays is a side job, and criticizing the government is the main thing. However, listening to them discuss the government and politics, Zheng Sen suddenly had a feeling of visiting the forum in his previous life, basically they were all babbling keyboard warriors, speaking of which, it was either that there was a villain in the court, or that the rogue was in trouble.

"In fact, some of the records in Brother Zheng's "Origin of Species" are somewhat similar to today's situation." Kong Zhang said suddenly.

"What did Brother Kong say?" Zheng Sen asked.

"It's the marine iguana on the island. The sea iguanas on that island had no natural predators, so they kept living, and then when they numbered, they encountered famine again, and they starved to death. The rest is to start from scratch again...... This is somewhat similar to the situation today. Isn't there a famine nowadays when there are more people and less land, and the time is not right? The world is in turmoil every 300 years, and it's very similar to the great expansion of the iguana population and the great famine on the island that you mentioned in your book every few years. Kong Zhang replied.

Before Zheng Sen could answer, someone rushed to say: "I have also read this paragraph, and it is really a bit similar." I only hate those rogues, but I am not even as good as beasts! Gentlemen, if you have read "The Origin of Species" and carefully counted those numbers, you will know that this periodic famine is really inevitable, and it can also be said to be natural, not because of the immorality of the imperial court. Look at those sea iguanas, even if they encounter famine, they will not kill each other, but they will starve to death honestly. This is the right way! It's hateful to hate those rogues who encounter a famine, but they refuse to starve to death at home honestly, and they want to come out to rob other people, and want others to starve to death together, it's really hateful! ”

"Well said. These rogues, they don't starve to death honestly, and come out to be robbers, don't they have to die? It's the same to die. It's really "don't be an An An starvation, but especially a praying mantis"! But they don't know that death is as light as a feather and as heavy as Mount Tai. As the saying goes, 'a man with lofty ideals does not drink the water of the stolen spring, and is incorruptible and does not eat from the spurs', as the saying goes, 'starvation to death is a small matter, and failure to do a great deal is a big thing', robbery is beaten to death, that is to die as light as a feather, and to die is to insult the ancestors; to keep the right path and starve to death in his own home, that is as heavy as Mount Tai, and when he comes to the ground, he will have the face to see his ancestors and ancestors. The other Confucian immediately sighed.

"What Brother Wang said is that Brother Wang can read and understand the truth, and he actually reads such a truth. If you meet a rogue in the future, and Brother Wang comes to such a high theory, then the rogue is afraid that he will die of shame immediately. Kong Zhang suddenly came out with such a sentence.

"Kong Bangui, what do you mean by that? Am I not right? The Confucian suddenly blushed and said.

"yes, what's wrong with me?" Kong Zhang didn't seem to want to continue.

But the man just didn't give up: "Kong Bangui, if you have any ideas, don't hide it, but it's not a man." ”

"Huh." When Kong Zhang heard this, he sneered and stood up and said, "Kong doesn't read much, I've seen a few sentences like this, I don't know what it means, but I want to ask Brother Wang." 'Dogs eat people without knowing how to check them, they are coated with starvation and don't know how to make them, and people die, then they say, it's not me, it's not me, it's a year! How is it different from stabbing people and killing them, saying: If it is not me, the soldier is also! Then he pointed to the dishes on the table with his finger and said, "'There is fat meat in the cookhouse, and there are fat horses in the stable!'" He pointed downstairs and said, "'The people are hungry, and the wilderness is hungry!'" Then he pointed his finger around everyone, and finally pointed at that Wang Xiucai and sneered: "Does Wang Jun know what the next sentence is?" ”

The two sentences that Kong Zhang said are from "Mencius", and the next sentence that he did not finish is "This rate of beasts and cannibalism". Of course, this Wang Xiucai knows, but it is precisely because he knows that he doesn't know how to refute it. Because he was not Emperor Taizu after all, he didn't dare to say that Mencius was talking nonsense. He could only stand up, stretched out his hand and pointed at Kong Zhang, and said for a long time: "Kong Zhang! Do you want to speak for the court, or for those rogues! ”

Kong Zhang said proudly: "Kong learned the way of Confucius and Mencius, and naturally spoke on behalf of the sages!" The children of the Holy Gate set their hearts for heaven and earth, and for the people, and wanted the people to starve to death in their own homes. Are you a member of the Companion? How can you be a disciple of the Companion? Are you worthy of being a disciple of the Companion? ”

"I'm ...... You ......" Wang Xiucai was speechless, just trembling all over, he suddenly picked up the plate in front of him, smashed it towards Kong Zhang, and scolded in his mouth: "I'll kill you traitor!" ”

Although Kong Zhang is a scholar, his movements are not slow, and when he saw the plate smashed over, he immediately flashed and dodged. It's just that Wang Xiucai didn't stop, and continued to pick up other plates and smash them. The surrounding talents all hid to the side, so as not to suffer the disaster of the pond fish. Some said: "Sven sweeps the floor, Sven sweeps the floor!" Others shouted, "Okay, okay." "I don't know if it's persuasion or applause.

Zheng Sen took Li Xiangjun's hand and took a few steps back. However, Wang Xiucai didn't throw anything at all, and when he exhaled, he suddenly smashed a tin wine jug towards Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun saw the wine jug flying over and wanted to dodge, but her agility points were obviously far less than Kong Zhang's, and by the time she reacted, the jug was almost about to hit her face, and at this time, Li Xiangjun only had time to close her eyes and scream.

However, Li Xiangjun waited for a while, but found that the wine jug did not hit his face, opened his eyes and looked, but saw that the wine jug was hanging in the air, and after a closer look, he saw clearly that the wine jug was wearing a thin stabbing sword, and the sword was in Zheng Sen's hand. It turned out that between the lightning and flint just now, Zheng Sen had already pulled out his sword, and a sword pierced into the wine jug, stopping the wine jug.

Zheng Sen slowly withdrew the bayonet sword in his hand, then held the wine jug with his left hand, carefully removed the wine jug from the sword, looked at the sword carefully, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt the blade." He took out another piece of silk and wiped his sword, and then took a sword flower in his hand. Inserted the sword back into its scabbard.

Zheng Sen's hand can be said to be very beautiful, and his guards are also shouting loudly next to him. Those who watched the excitement and showed talents also focused their eyes on Zheng Sen, and even Kong Zhang, who was dodging Wang Xiucai's flying saucer attack, stopped and shouted: "Brother Zheng is so skilled!" ”

Only that Wang Xiucai kept staring at Kong Zhang, and he didn't notice the style of Zheng Sen's sword at all, and when he saw Kong Zhang stop, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to attack. It's just that there are no plates, plates, dishes and chopsticks in front of him, so he yelled and threw himself at Kong Zhang, intending to use his fists to continue to reason with Kong Zhang.

It's just that at this time, the floor slab was full of vegetable juice, which was very slippery, Wang Xiucai used too much force, and as soon as his feet slipped, he changed direction and turned into a straight collision towards Zheng Sen. Zheng Sen stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Xiucai's hand. Wang Xiucai felt as if his hand was caught by an iron tong, and he immediately screamed in pain. For a moment, he wondered if his wrist had been broken.

Zheng Sen lifted Wang Xiucai up, so that he could stand firm and not fall to the ground. Then he let go of his hand and took a half step back and said, "Brother Wang, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth." ”

After Wang Xiucai went through this, his arrogance also went down, and he really didn't do it anymore, but he was still muttering and scolding. Zheng Sen looked around, and then said to Li Xiangjun: "It's a pity ......"

"Brother Zheng, I'm really sorry to make you laugh." But it was Kong Zhang who came over and said.

"It's okay, I've seen a lot of this kind of thing." Zheng Sen said with a smile, "Listening to Brother Kong's talk today, Zheng has benefited a lot, I don't know where Brother Kong lives, Zheng Sen also goes to ask for advice from time to time." ”

Kong Zhang told his address, and Zheng Sen wrote it down carefully. At this time, Zheng Fu also rushed up from downstairs with a few people, obviously hearing the movement upstairs. Zheng Sen asked Zheng Fu to go to the boss and count all the damaged items in his account. Zheng Fu nodded, and said: "Childe, just now the Zuo family sent an invitation, and asked Gongzi to come to Zuo's house for a banquet tomorrow night - I heard that General Zuo has returned." ”
