Li Wenxuan, who looked up and looked at the plaque with the three big characters of Yingyue Tower written in block letters, grabbed Zhao Tianer's right hand and stepped directly into the threshold. In his previous life, he had seen some of the world's faces and occasions without the slightest sense of nervousness, and he really didn't think it was luxurious and high-end here. In my opinion, this is the level of a modern three-star hotel.

A smiling, clean-looking, seventeen or eight-year-old shopkeeper, dressed in the standard men's clothes of the Ming Dynasty, with a rag on his right shoulder, took the initiative to greet him and said, "Two guest officers, please inside." Looks like you're here for the first time. Is this going to sit upstairs or downstairs? ”

Li Wenxuan, who brought Zhao Tian'er to eat and drink, didn't want to be disturbed by irrelevant people: "Give us a private room." ”

"It's really not enough." The two eyes had already looked at the shopkeeper who was dressed by the two, and said truthfully: "The private room in this store has been booked out early. Even if the two of them say it a month in advance, it is difficult to have a spare private room. The small one doesn't want to be disturbed, so it's also a good choice to go upstairs. ”

"Then the second floor, and give us a window seat." Seeing that there were no guests downstairs, Li Wenxuan, who really didn't expect the business here to be so good, asked casually with interest: "Who are the people who come to eat and stay here?" ”

The shopkeeper led the two of them upstairs while saying proudly: "In addition to the Qian Governor, Liu Zhixian, and the forester in the city, the outsiders also account for at least one of the two words, either rich, or powerful, or both." Even the merchants who passed by had bulging silver in their pockets. Moreover, it is some people who want to go to Longhu Mountain to worship and enter the incense, and the powerful and wealthy families. ”

Li Wenxuan, who had long observed the simple and elegant taste here, knew that this was indeed a corrupt place where the gentry and their families were happy and happy. went up to the second floor, and he and Zhao Tianer sat opposite each other in a position near the windowsill.

The shopkeeper who took the rag on his shoulder with his right hand finished wiping the table very professionally. He felt that the two people in front of him were not like dignitaries, or sons or young ladies from the big businessman Jia's family, so he didn't blurt out the dishes of abalone and ginseng wings, but targeted sales: "The sweet and sour carp, braised pork ribs, assorted duck soup, and lotus root chicken in our store are all very good." ”

As soon as Li Wenxuan heard his introduction, he knew that Dao was part of the signature dish here: "According to what you said, all four things will be laid out for me." ”

shouted "good" from the shopkeeper, and continued: "If the guest officer wants to drink, this store can have ten years of bamboo leaf green. ”

Li Wenxuan, who is not greedy for cups, is quite curious and wants to know what the wine of the Ming Dynasty tastes like: "Okay, come to a small jar." ”

After another "good", the shopkeeper was still smiling, and said before turning to leave: "Sit down for a while." If there is any need, just call it a small one. ”

He had just come downstairs, and Zhao Tian'er, who seemed a little unable to sit still, was counting how much silver this meal would cost? She thought to herself that she could eat at home for a month with a single meal here. She thinks she can make some of the dishes she ordered. Even if you can't do it, teach her a little and you'll be fine. Why spend so much unjust money?

The autumn moon with a little fragrant wind appeared in front of them again. He didn't want to be too angry with Li Wenxuan, so he didn't give a salute, but just smiled and said, "My young lady heard that you were here, so she sent a slave to invite the son and the young lady to the private room." ”

Zhao Tian'er's eyes stared at her, and she refused directly: "We have already ordered the food." Don't bother your lady to break the bank. At this time, Qiu Yue gave Zhao Tian'er a blessing, and then turned to Li Wenxuan to wait for an answer, after all, the person his young lady really wanted to invite was him.

"Since Miss is invited, then let's go and sit down for a while." Li Wenxuan saw Zhao Tian'er's careful thoughts, and repeated: "Let's just sit down." Zhao Tian'er, who didn't want to say anything, nodded and followed him.

Li Wenxuan, who walked into the private room, saw Lin Ruoxi in a white cloak standing in front of the windowsill at first sight, and Zhao Tianer, who saw Lin Ruoxi for the first time, did not feel jealous at all. Lin Ruoxi's beauty and temperament exude that even her, who is also a daughter, was impressed.

Li Wenxuan felt that the other party was so beautiful for Lin Ruoxi in front of him, whether he looked forward or backward, left or right. He didn't forget to watch his heart and concentrate while admiring the beauties. I guessed that the purpose of her invitation to him must not be to comfort him for the last time he was blown over by a carriage, after all, that matter had already come to an end.

Lin Ruoxi, who did not have the slightest politeness and greetings, said with a calm face: "Li Gongzi should have read "Shangshu". Li Wenxuan, who suddenly realized, immediately understood that she was going to talk to herself about this. At this time, I was still thinking in my heart, didn't feudal society say that women are virtuous if they are not talented? Lin Ruoxi: What is this going to do?

Facing Li Wenxuan, who was both a beauty and a talented woman in front of him, when he thought that some of those books were not his own, he had to say modestly: "I can't talk about being proficient in "Shangshu", but only a little bit of general righteousness. ”

"Childe is too humble." Lin Ruoxi, who was still standing in place, did not move a step.

Li Wenxuan, who kept his expression calm, thought to himself, he really wanted to be embarrassed in front of her, after all, he could let him know that he was also a talent. However, when I think of him who is not real, I am disgusted with myself by deceiving and deceiving to please the beauties. Li Wenxuan, who had made up his mind, decided that it would be better to deal with it more with his true colors without losing face.

In the following time, Li Wenxuan and Lin Ruoxi, who had already been psychologically prepared, launched a brief discussion about "Shangshu". Zhao Tian'er and Qiu Yue, who were standing next to them, heard the mist and didn't know what to say. They yawned one after another, and really felt that the topic they were talking about was extremely boring. Li Wenxuan, who answered fluently, was not happy because of this, but the more he chatted, the more boring he felt. However, Lin Ruoxi's interest was very high, and he believed that he still had real talent and learning.

Li Wenxuan, who couldn't stop there, had to continue to talk to Lin Ruoxi in a dilemma, after all, he couldn't let the big beauty in front of him think that he was an out-and-out straw bag. It would be a great loss for her not to see her from now on. Talking face-to-face with Lin Ruoxi, listening to her yellow warbler-like voice, and looking at her perfect face, there is no lack of enjoyment.

Lin Ruoxi, who had no intention of chatting with him all the time about "Shangshu", changed the conversation and said: "When the situation is today, what does Childe think?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who had already shouted "" in his heart, couldn't understand what she was going to do? Is it necessary to continue to talk about the domestic political and economic situation after talking about literature? He decided to politely refuse: "I'm just a mere talent, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to talk about the world." ”

Lin Ruoxi, who didn't see him talking, was not the kind of person who didn't know anything in the boudoir, but had already heard about many things in the world. After reading a lot of books and having unique insights, she naturally became a strange woman in this world. His own thinking is different from ordinary people, so that his vision is unique.

Lin Ruoxi's right hand was placed on the windowsill and asked, "In the future, what are the plans of the son?" ”

Li Wenxuan, who was a Taoist priest, was not good at saying this in front of her, so he naturally remembered the sentence that had been circulated for thousands of years and was still particularly uplifting: "And if a strong man does not die, he will be famous, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning?" After hearing this, Lin Ruoxi's face was still pale. She was silent on the surface, but she was secretly observing. In fact, he is arrogant, and his two eyes rarely look at others. At this moment, she took a good look at Li Wenxuan for the first time.

Lin Ruoxi felt that there was something special about the man in front of her. As for how special it was, she couldn't say it for a while, after all, no one had ever dared to say anything to herself, "The prince will be a kind of Xiangning". Although it is only a simple eight words, the meaning contained between the lines is extraordinary.

This calls out the true aspirations of the people for thousands of years, and plays a certain positive role in the openness of human nature and the pursuit of human freedom. Everyone is equal, regardless of whether they are high or low. A person's achievements are made, not born. Destiny is in your own hands, and only by your own efforts can you change the unequal fate.

In Lin Ruoxi's memory, the sons of the family he talked to, as well as those talented people who read poetry and books, all think that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and sons born to rats will make holes. Wealth is destined by heaven, so they don't agree with Sima Qian's sentence in "Historical Records". And this is an era when the theory of descent is still absolutely dominant, which makes her feel both repulsive and fresh.

"According to Gongzi's meaning, everything in the world is not the arrangement and continuation established by God, so some people are born rich and noble, and some people are poor all their lives? Some people are born with it, but some people spend their lives pursuing what they can't get. Lin Ruoxi looked forward to his reply.

Li Wenxuan, who has the idea of modern equality, believes that the ruling mode of feudal society, which deliberately divides people into three, six, nine, and so on, is nothing more than the deliberate "casting of bondage" by vested gainers to control the minds of the broad masses of the people, hinting to them that whoever is destined is what they want, so that they will not cultivate this life and the next life, and give up the consciousness of rebellion against the people, so as to ensure that they enjoy the privileges of thousands of generations.

"You haven't been poor, how can you make sure that they all want to be rich?" Li Wenxuan suddenly had a disgusting idea that talented women really hated, and began to answer indiscriminately: "Zi Fei fish, the joy of knowing fish?"
