Chapter 160: Strange
"Treasure Pavilion, specially approved by your father." Bai Shuqin was a little proud, she didn't expect that she just opened her mouth casually, and Zhou Tianmu really agreed.
"I don't know what my father likes about you, it's better for you than for me!" Zhou Yusheng was a little surprised, even he couldn't go in and out of the Treasure Pavilion at will, Bai Shuqin could go in and out at will, not to mention that he could still take things from it, this treatment was really a world of difference.
This time you can't use other methods, and the two of them rely on their own abilities. When Zhou Yusheng lowered his head and explained bitterly, he didn't forget to look up to see if Bai Shuqin had any scheming.
Seeing that she was also bowing her head and seriously unraveling the Nine Links, he was relieved and seriously thought about how to untie the Nine Links.
However, Zhou Yusheng didn't think long before he heard Bai Shuqin shouting: "Untie it." β
"What?" Zhou Yusheng raised his head in disbelief, looking at the nine links that had been untied in front of Bai Shuqin, and he couldn't believe it. He put down the Nine Links in his hand and picked up Bai Shuqin's.
The Nine Rings were indeed unraveled, and there were no traces of destruction on them.
But Zhou Yusheng still didn't want to believe it, he felt that Bai Shuqin must have used other means, otherwise how could it be solved in such a short time.
"You know, there are more people in this world who are better than you." Bai Shuqin took the Nine Links in Zhou Yusheng's hand and put them in the bag on his body.
She paused before continuing to say to Zhou Yusheng: "Through these two rounds, what can you think of?" β
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise! Especially a little girl like you! Zhou Yusheng said angrily.
"That's right, you don't have any other ideas than that?" With a smile on his face, Bai Shuqin slowly guided him, "If this is not the Nine Rings, but a war, what would you think?" β
Zhou Yusheng didn't quite understand what she meant, this was not a war, even if it was a war, he also felt that Bai Shuqin's methods were too cunning the first time, and he also felt that he was tired of the second time.
Bai Shuqin knew that Zhou Yusheng was too well protected, and he was chosen as the crown prince at birth, and he was favored in the palace, which created his naΓ―ve character.
It's just that this world is not so beautiful, there are all kinds of dangers lurking around him, if you don't hand him over now, don't let him experience it, if you really encounter it in the future, I'm afraid that you won't even know how to die.
Bai Shuqin continued to ask: "Let me ask in a different way, do you think what I did just now is right or wrong?" β
"That's not right!" Zhou Yusheng didn't think about it, so he blurted out.
Bai Shuqin nodded, still smiling and asked, "Since you think it's wrong, then tell me, what's right?" β
"Of course, it's to follow the rules, don't cheat, and compete fairly." Zhou Yusheng said it rightly, and this is what he has been taught.
"If it's a real war, you're guarding the people of a country behind you. You don't know if the other party will abide by the rules, and you know that if you don't follow the rules, you will win, how do you choose? Will it still insist on so-called fairness? Bai Shuqin tried to make him understand.
Zhou Yusheng was stunned, it is wrong not to follow the rules, but if he can win if he does not abide by the rules, will he choose to abide by the rules? He thought for a while, his heart was full of entanglement, and finally replied as if he had made up his mind: "Rules are rules, if you don't keep them, what difference is there between them and robbers." β
"That's right!" Bai Shuqin smiled with satisfaction.
"What do you mean? Don't you think it's right to disobey the rules? Zhou Yusheng was confused by Bai Shuqin, and he didn't understand what he was thinking at all.
"Let's do it again! This time, let's say that no matter what method you use, as long as you can solve it, you will win. Bai Shuqin handed the ununsolved ordinary Nine Links on the table to Zhou Yusheng, and took out an equally ordinary Nine Links from the cloth bag.
Zhou Yusheng took over the Nine Rings, since Bai Shuqin had already said so, it would not be a violation for him to use a knife again.
He said, "Wait." He quickly pulled out the knife on Guo Hu's waist, and then said to Bai Shuqin: "Okay, let's start!" β
Bai Shuqin just glanced at him, and immediately set about untying the nine links in his hand.
Zhou Yusheng smiled, this time he had won, he raised his knife and slashed towards the nine consecutive rings on the table. Just listened to the "click", four of the nine links were broken, and five were not broken.
He had no choice but to raise the knife again and slash at the remaining unbroken rings, and before the knife fell, he saw Bai Shuqin slap her nine consecutive rings on the table, and said loudly: "Untie it!" β
Next week, Hanyu was completely dumbfounded, he didn't believe that someone could unravel the Nine Rings so quickly, so he asked, "How did you solve it?" β
Bai Shuqin didn't answer, but just reassembled the untied Nine Links, then picked it up and shook it in front of Zhou Yusheng.
Then Zhou Yusheng saw that Bai Shuqin's fingers flew up and down, and the nine rings made a crisp sound in her hand, like a moving piece of music. He was dazzled, and before he could see clearly, the installed nine links were untied again.
At this time, Zhou Yusheng didn't know what to say except for the admiration in his heart, he had never seen someone with such a fast hand.
"How do you feel right now?" Bai Shuqin asked with a smile.
"Awesome!" Zhou Yusheng stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "It's really amazing!" You deserve to be the prince's concubine, it's so powerful. β
"Nothing else but this?" Bai Shuqin tugged at the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Yusheng scratched his hair, thinking that Bai Shuqin had just talked about war, thinking that she was going to have something to do with war, so he replied tentatively: "Fighting a war depends on hand speed? β
Zhou Yusheng's answer made Bai Shuqin cry and laugh, although she knew that he was simple in nature, but she didn't expect it to be so simple, maybe it could be said that he was not sophisticated and smart enough.
"I can't guess, just tell me quickly!" Zhou Yusheng said eagerly, he couldn't wait to understand why.
Bai Shuqin didn't want to embarrass him, so he explained to him directly: "When I competed for the first time just now, you thought I was cheating. The second time, we play fair. The third time, I included cheating in the rules. However, the three results, without any surprises, are all you lose. β
What she said made Zhou Yusheng blush suddenly, and he felt ashamed of his incompetence.
"Do you know where you lost?"
"I'm too obedient!" Zhou Yusheng blurted out, and after speaking, he felt that what he said was wrong, and the third time he was ready to do the same, but he still lost.
He lowered his head, recalling the scene of the loss just now in his mind, Bai Shuqin's flapping fingers reappeared in front of him, and he suddenly realized: "I understand, I am not losing by following the rules, but by losing because my strength is too poor!" β
Only then did Bai Shuqin show a satisfied smile, and said like an old gentleman: "The son can be taught!" β
"Yes, I'm the chosen one!" Zhou Yusheng couldn't help but be proud, but there was a different change in his heart.
Rules are not a stumbling block to success, the real stumbling block is one's own strength. Regardless of whether the other party is a gentleman or a scoundrel, as long as he has absolute strength, he can still win without violating his principles.
Zhou Yusheng realized that he was still too far away, governing the country was not a joke, and he was carrying the hopes of the people of the whole country behind him. If he doesn't work hard, they will suffer the most.
"Now that you understand this, I'll teach you one last thing." Bai Shuqin seemed to confess his last words.
This feeling made Zhou Yusheng very uncomfortable, and the idea of whether she was going to leave suddenly appeared in his mind, and his heart seemed to be empty, making him nervously ask her, "Are you leaving?" Why preach me about the last thing? β
Bai Shuqin didn't expect Zhou Yusheng to be so sensitive, she really planned to leave after a while, but she still didn't want him to think about it, so she pretended to be surprised: "What did you say?" Why should I leave? β
"Really? I believe you. Say, what are you going to teach me? Zhou Yusheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more steady.
"You have very good qualities, you don't lie, you have principles, they are all your strengths. But you also have an obvious shortcoming, if you don't change it, you will suffer a big loss in the future. Bai Shuqin said very seriously.
Zhou Yusheng's eyes twitched to the side, not caring at all. If you want to talk about shortcomings, he can name a whole lot of them himself.
"You shouldn't have forgotten what happened in the Pure Courtyard before, right?" Bai Shuqin reminded her, she believed that Zhou Yusheng must have been deeply impressed by such a special past.
Sure enough, when Zhou Yusheng's eyes were mentioned in the Pure Academy, Bai Shuqin continued: "Your biggest shortcoming is that you can't empathize. β
"Empathy? What do you mean? Zhou Yusheng didn't know that Bai Shuqin had so many words that he couldn't understand, which was strange.
Bai Shu Qin was stunned, and then he remembered that this was ancient times, and they really didn't understand this kind of word. She can only put it another way, "It is to put yourself in the shoes of others and look at problems from other angles and positions." β
Zhou Yusheng didn't seem to understand it, and Bai Shuqin added: "I'll give you an example, if you are a poor person now, you can't eat enough every day, and you have to hand in food, what would you think?" β
"I can't eat myself, so why should I turn it in? If I pay it, won't I starve to death? Zhou Yusheng felt inexplicable.
"That's empathy. Then now change your position, you are now the head of a country, what will you do in the face of the situation that the people do not have enough to eat? Bai Shuqin looked directly at Zhou Yusheng.
Zhou Yusheng said without hesitation: "Of course, it is to open the treasury and relieve the people." β
Bai Shuqin nodded, which could be regarded as agreeing with his answer, "In the face of the people, we must empathize and be anxious about what the people are anxious about." Water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, only if you make the people rich and healthy, the people will let you sit back and relax. β
"And last but not least, you will have to deal not only with the people, but also with all kinds of dissenting courtiers and the ambitions of other countries. When this happens, you have to put yourself in the other person's position, think about what you would do if you were yourself, and then take the lead so that you don't fall into passivity. Bai Shuqin said earnestly.
She wanted to talk to him too much, but there were many things that she would only understand if she had experienced them.
It was difficult for Zhou Yusheng to grasp so much content for a while, but he already understood that the road ahead was not easy, and he suddenly felt as if a boulder had been pressed on his body, making him have to carry a weight forward.
After talking to Zhou Yusheng for almost a morning, Bai Shuqin's throat was a little dry, and she explained some things to the other two masters, and then went back to rest.
Recently, the palace has been busy preparing to entertain Zhuo Jinxuan's visit, and Bai Shuqin has been named a prince, so he avoided rehearsing songs and dances with that group of dancing girls.
Despite this, Bai Shuqin still couldn't be idle, and Zhou Tianmu arranged another thing for her.
Bai Shuqin had already made a plan, but on the day Zhuo Jinxuan entered the palace, she took the opportunity to escape, and in this way, her plan was nullified again.
It is not difficult for Zhou Tianmu to arrange things for her, but it is just to teach Zhou Yusheng and the etiquette habits of the prince Zhuo Guo. This matter is not big or small, but it can be seen that Zhou Tianmu attaches great importance to Zhuo Jinxuan's visit.
