Under the persecution of Duke Wei and the "hostage" of the guards, Confucius had to bite the bullet to see Nanzi.

He didn't know: what happened after meeting Nanzi? Anyway! People are terrible, and trouble must be indispensable after seeing it!

When he came to the palace where Nanzi lived, the guards did not dare to enter directly, but gently knocked on the door of the palace. One of the maids who was serving inside walked over quickly, saw that it was the guard, and looked at the guard.

"Confucius came to meet his wife!" The guard whispered.

"Oh!" When the maid heard this, she replied, "I'll go tell Madame!" Hold on! ”

After a while, the maid hurried back and said, "Madame, please sir!" ”

The guard stepped aside, stretched out his hand, and motioned for Confucius to enter the palace.

Shortly after Confucius followed the maid into the palace gate, the sound of the door closing behind him was heard. He didn't dare to look back, but just lowered his head and followed the maid. He could feel that it was not the guards who closed the door, but the other maids, and the guards did not follow up.

I thought: What's the matter? Don't? It's really like the legend: all the people who visit Nanzi are just in the name of visiting, and then something happens with Nanzi? Otherwise? What door to close?

Arriving in the reception hall, the maid dodged into the room on the side. Confucius looked up at the chief seat in the hall, wanting to see Nanzi's dignity! Outcome! In the chief seat in the hall, there was no shadow of Nanzi.

Only then did Confucius remember: When a heroine meets a strange man for the first time, she usually doesn't meet directly. Only after both parties are familiar with it, or under the introduction of acquaintances, will the heroine sit in the chief seat.

This is also the rule of Zhou Li, one is to reflect the noble identity of the heroine, and the other is to show that the heroine is a very introverted and serious person.

Confucius hurriedly knelt down and bowed to the empty seat of the chief.

"Confucius, meet Madame!"

That's it! In the room where the maid entered, there was a crisp sound of hurried jewelry colliding, and a pleasant female voice rang out at the same time.

"Excuse me! Sir, please get up! Throne! ”

"Mrs. Xie!" Confucius kowtowed and looked up. He didn't dare to look in the direction of the sound, and looked ahead as if the person he was talking to was in front of him.

Through the kung fu of opening the eyes of the sky, he saw Nanzi behind the transparent gauze tent. When Nanzi saw him kowtow and bow down, he actually gave him a kowtow behind the transparent gauze tent.

Really! Nanzi is a stunning beauty. Not only is he young, but he is also very tall, and unlike ordinary women, he is a rare big man. People are not only beautiful, but also dress up. The combination of beauty, dressing, and youthfulness can really make a man a little smitter.

Although he is an old man in his fifties, he can't help but reverie when he sees such a stunning beauty.

The maid ran out again, brought a seat, and spread it on the ground beside Confucius.

Confucius was not polite, and got up and sat down in his seat.

"Mr. is really familiar with Zhou Li, Nanzi admires it!" Nanzi looked at Confucius from behind the curtain on one side and said.

"Kongqiu knows something!"

"So? Did Nanzi violate Zhou etiquette today? Nanzi asked.

"Madame did not violate the Zhou etiquette, and the Zhou ceremony stipulates that (the female owner) cannot meet a stranger (man) directly when she meets a stranger for the first time. Behind the tent in the room on one side is the rule of the week. ”

"That?" Nanzi asked, "When can I come out?" ”

"After confirming the identity of the other party, you can come out, or you may not come out."

"Nanzi knows! Nanzi thanked Mr. ”

"Madame is gracious!" Confucius replied.

"Nanzi summoned Mr. today, I have something to ask Mr.!" Nanzi didn't come out, and asked inside the gauze tent.

"Confucius has limited knowledge, but whenever Mrs. asks, he should know everything and say everything!"

"Nanzi was originally a princess of the Song Kingdom, and she married Wei Guo from afar and became the wife of Duke Wei. Nanzi misses his brother Chao, who grew up together, and asks Duke Wei for permission to bring his brother to Wei Guo to meet, is it wrong? Did you violate the etiquette? Nanzi asked.

When she said this, Nanzi's emotions seemed very excited. It was calm at first, and then it was excited.

"It's human nature! There is no violation of the weekly etiquette! Confucius replied.

"So? Pls sir! Nanzi seemed even more excited, and asked, "Is it against etiquette for the prince not to go to see his father-in-law, but to come to see me, my father-in-law's wife, two times in three days?" ”

"The prince should assist his father-in-law and deal with state affairs, he should often go to his father-in-law's side and ask for advice on how to govern the country, where is the reason why the prince runs to the palace of his father-in-law and wife?" Confucius followed Nanzi's words and replied.

"Nanzi saw that the prince was behaving differently, so he told Wei Gong, is there something wrong?" Nanzi cried.

"That's right!"

"The prince held a grudge because of this, and one day he brought someone to kill me, but I found out and saved me from death! Woooooo Nanzi's sentences are true, and the prince also admits it. The prince has the intention of killing his father and usurping the throne, and has been driven out of the country by Duke Wei, why doesn't everyone in the world believe me? Woowoo woo ......"

"Madame!"

"Madame!"

When the maid saw her master crying, she wept along with her persuasion.

Confucius did not answer immediately, but sat there thinking: Is it? Everything is as I guessed: Nanzi was wronged? Still is? Nanzi made a bureau and framed the prince?

After a long while, Confucius asked, "May I ask Madame?" ”

"Woooooooooooo Speak! Nanzi stopped crying and answered.

"Excuse me, ma'am? When I came, I saw that the door of the palace was open, and why was it closed when I came in? ”

"Woooooo Nanzi cried: "This is all forced by them! ”

"Who forced it?" Confucius asked.

"Who else could it be?" Nanzi cried: "It's all because of the rumors he created, so that everyone in the world will talk about me!" There is no way! The Duke of Wei commanded me to close all the doors when I summoned the guests, so that they would not be seen, and said that whoever came to my palace......

"Really?" Confucius asked stupidly, "When someone comes to Madame's palace, no one sees it?" ”

"It's different!" Nanzi explained: "If the door is open, people will keep coming to visit, for various reasons. And then! It's spread out randomly, and it can't be blocked! Woowoo woo ......"

"If others spread the word, it will be the same when the door is opened and closed? As long as someone comes, they can make up rumors. Isn't it? Opposite! If the door is closed, it's easier for people to guess? Confucius asked, puzzled.

"Duke Wei has given the order! As long as the doors of my palace are closed, no one is allowed to come and disturb them, or they will be punished!" So! It's just a matter of closing the door! Nanzi explained.

"Oh? So that's it? ”

"Wait a while, when Mr. leaves, Mr. will find that there are many people waiting outside the door!"

"And what's going on?"

"Most of them are people from other palaces in the harem, and they are all on the orders of their masters! Mr! You said? Is it a coincidence? ”

"This?" Confucius couldn't believe it.
