However, after Liu Ru and Ji Ning had a drink, they no longer paid attention to the longing and expectant eyes of the distinguished guests sitting in the second place on the left and right.

After she put down her wine glass, a pair of Qianqianyu hands placed on the strings and plucked them gently.

The sound of the piano is subtle, smart and dusty, like a small spring flowing faintly, and like a beautiful woman whispering, everyone is attracted by the sound of the piano at once, immersed in it.

However, Liu Ru only improvised a short piece of music, and as soon as everyone calmed down and entered the artistic conception, the sound of the piano stopped.

I only heard Liu Ru is voice softly and softly said: "Thanks to everyone's wrong love, the concubine has been quite happy these days. Of course, the happiness of the concubine is just a small happiness, not worth mentioning, and far from being compared with the happiness in everyone's hearts. I wonder what everyone thinks happiness is? ”

As Liu Ruye's inquiry fell, everyone began to think.

It turns out that an innocent person like Liu Ru who does not sell his body does not blindly play the piano and sing when receiving guests, interspersed with chats and conversations, and reciting poems.

For example, although Liu Ru sometimes receives guests, she does not necessarily play the piano and sing. Sometimes even the whole process does not sing words or play a string, just through the gauze curtain, with the guests to talk and chat.

However, Ji Ning had never experienced this kind of occasion, and he didn't know that Liu Ru had already thrown out the topic, and everyone discussed it together.

What is Happiness?

He is too lazy to bother with this kind of question.

So, he poured himself wine and drank it.

The fine wine used by Tianxianglou to entertain distinguished guests is already the top wine in Jinling City, but when Ji Ning tastes it, it is still too light, and the degree of beer before the crossing is about the same.

He couldn't help but think of Li Taibai, a poet immortal in wine, what poems such as "I will have to drink three hundred cups", "Ten thousand golden bottles of sake", etc., must not be bragging, just because the degree of ancient wine is too low and it is not intoxicating.

"If I invent a high-count distilled spirit, it will be a good way to get rich." He thought of it suddenly, but then vetoed it in his heart.

Whether it was the invention of distilled spirits or the operation of distilled spirits, they were only the domain of industry and commerce, and they belonged to the lowly class in the Dayong Dynasty.

It is better to spend more time on studying, and wait for the Jinshi to pass the examination and become a real ruling class, so that you can comfortably enjoy the beautiful and happy life of three wives and four concubines in ancient times.

Even if you really have the ambition and ambition to transform the world, you must carefully read the Four Books and Five Classics to participate in the imperial examination.

Only when you are a jinshi and become a bachelor's degree or even a bachelor's degree or even a bachelor's degree can you have a certain right to speak.

Through such means as engaging in politics, writing books, or establishing academies, the seeds of ideas are planted and carefully cultivated, so that the seeds of ideas can take root and sprout in this world, gradually grow, penetrate the minds of all readers, and finally influence and transform the whole world.

In this way, it is possible to make contributions.

Otherwise, it would be just a small trick to just make inventions and run a business, and the result would only be that the lights would go out when people died, or even when people were not dead, the lights would go out.

When Ji Ning was thinking nonsense, someone had already begun to answer and discuss.

"Qin believes that hearing the Tao is the greatest happiness." Qin Feng first said aloud, "Zi said; 'Chaowen said, you can die at night. ’”

When Liu Ru heard this, he couldn't help but praise: "Gongzi Qin has good ambitions. is so studious, it is no wonder that he can connect the two elements and is known as the first talent of the young generation in Jinling City. ”

Others also echoed the praise.

Although Qin Feng intended to hold his identity as a great talent in Jinling City, he was filled with compliments, and his face showed two points of pride.

"Thank you, Miss Liu, and all of you for your praise." Qin Feng smiled, picked up his wine glass, and said, "Qin is still far from 'hearing the truth, and dying at night', but he will always spur himself on with this." Please testify and supervise for Qin. ”

With that, he raised his glass.

The others picked up their wine glasses very embarrassedly and drank a glass with Qin Feng.

Liu Ru also took a sip of the wine glass.

Zhang believes that the greatest happiness is the courage to take responsibility.

After Qin Feng drank with everyone, Zhang Linwu was unwilling to be monopolized by Qin Feng, and said in a loud voice.

The atmosphere unfolded, and this time there was no need for Liu Ru is guidance, and someone immediately asked: "Zhang Gongzi, I don't know how to say this?" ”

Zhang Linwu said sonorously: "Mencius said: 'Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. It can be seen that taking responsibility is a must for everyone, especially men. Dying for the Tao, dying for the country, dying for the people, dying for your parents, elders, and relatives, and dying for your friends are the greatest happiness! ”

"Good!" The crowd immediately shouted loudly.

"Zhang Gongzi is worthy of being a famous family, and his ambition is so high that I can't wait for it! The little brother admired! Wu Bei said loudly.

Then, he raised his glass to Zhang Linwu and continued to pat his ass and said, "Zhang Gongzi, little brother Rong toasts you!" ”

"A glass to Mr. Zhang!" Others also raised their glasses to Zhang Linwu and said:

Liu Rushi also raised his glass and said: "The concubine also toasts Zhang Gongzi." ”

For a while, Zhang Linwu's face was full of red light, and he raised his glass and laughed proudly: "Haha, thank you Miss Liu and you." Please! ”

"Please!" The crowd said.

Then I drank a drink.

Participating in this kind of party, in addition to listening to music and looking forward to a kiss Fangze, is a group of people of equal status sitting together chatting, discussing, touting, drinking and having fun.

Toasting a toast to a high opinion to the applause of the crowd is the greatest pleasure of such gatherings.

Yang Tian drank the wine in one gulp, Zhang Linwu put down the wine glass, and the pretty maid standing behind immediately stepped forward, carefully filled the wine glass, and then stepped back.

Zhang Linwu was very proud, and when he saw Ji Ning on the opposite side, he raised his hand to Ji Ning and said: "Ji Gongzi, Zhang heard that you are not a hit, and it is a blockbuster." I don't know what you think about happiness, how about saying it for everyone to hear? ”

Ji Ning didn't expect that Zhang Gongzi, who seemed to have a more noble status on the other side, would provoke him so quickly, and he just toasted him with the public.

"Hehe, Zhang Gongzi said with a smile." Ji Ning came back to his senses and said with a light smile, "Ji Mou is just a small person, and his views on happiness are really not as lofty as those of all of you here, so don't say it." ”

He didn't even think about what happiness was just now, and asked him to immediately quote the scriptures and say what happiness was, isn't it embarrassing?

Besides, he couldn't say such high-sounding, false and empty words.

"Tall?" Liu Ru interjected and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

In fact, she also wanted to hear Ji Ning's views on happiness. Therefore, when Ji Ning spoke, she listened very carefully.

Ji Ning was embarrassed in his heart, and he accidentally broke out the Internet vocabulary.

However, he calmly explained: "Tall, as the name suggests, is high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade. ”

"Oh, I see." Liu Ru chuckled and said, "Ji Gongzi's choice of words and sentences is quite special, but it is very incisive and smooth." Maybe the word will spread after tonight. ”

Zhang Linwu listened to Liu Ru praising Ji Ning, and his heart was unhappy: This son's lofty happiness opinion just now, why didn't you comment a few words? Hey, why did my son say 'tall'?

"Thank you, Master Ji!" Zhang Linwu interjected to interrupt the conversation between Ji Ning and Liu Ruye, and said, "After Ji Gongzi is a scholar, how can he be a small person?" Please be sure to tell me your opinion on happiness, so that I can wait to see the sages and think about it. ”

Hmph, when Ben Gongzi asks you, it is to make you ugly, not to let you attract Liu Ru's attention. There is this son so tall, bah, it is the jade bead in front, forgive you for not saying anything nice!
