Chapter 17 The road is narrow
For a while, everyone was quiet, and a hundred and ten pairs of eyes looked at the young man holding a silk handkerchief and fine sand in front of Meng Gong, and the Meng Gong who was sitting on the felt carpet with an iron face.
"What do you say?" Meng Gong said with a calm face, staring at Ye Ziyi's smiling little face. "Come. ”
"All the things that the public has said are in the sand of this river. Ye Ziyi lowered his head and lowered his eyes. "The stars in the sky are as large as the sand and gravel of this long river, and the public wants to know the number, and this is the number. ”
Ye Ziyi said that there are as many stars in the sky as there is sand in the river, and you always want to know the number, this is the number of stars.
This was answered skillfully, Meng Gong's face turned even pale, and he glared at Ye Ziyi for a while before asking. "Okay, if you solve this question, then how many mortals are there on this earth?"
"Hui Menggong, all the mortals on this earth are transformed by the stars, there are a few stars in the sky, and naturally there are many mortals on the earth. Ye Ziyi's answer can be said to be an answer that is not an answer, but Meng Gong couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he froze there for a while.
The people of the time argued, eloquent, and the opponent was speechless, Ye Ziyi's statement, although it was a bit nonsense, but it was just right to deal with the question raised by Meng Gong, seeing that Meng Gong's face was getting greener and bluer, the prince on the main throne clapped his hands very happily.
"Hehe, Meng Gong, it's just a joke, I'm willing to lose the bet, come and come, and punish three glasses of wine!" Gongzi Jiao said, raising her glass to Meng Gong and saluting from afar, pouring down the wine in the wine lord, patting her thigh and laughing. "Hahahaha...... Yue Ren, although your little brother is ugly, he is really an interesting person, come and come, this jade pendant, let's make a gift to meet each other. ”
As she spoke, Gongzijiao took off a white jade pendant from her waist and handed it to the maid and gave it to Ye Ziyi.
Here, Ye Ziyi didn't expect an unexpected gain, and after thanking Gongzijiao, she sat back in her seat, drinking and eating meat with an indifferent face, but it seemed that the little family of Menggong who frequently turned back and looked at him coldly was angry.
After the reward Ye Ziyi, Gongzi Jiao was in a good mood, beckoned the dancer to dance, and everyone drank again.
It is said that it is a curved water, but it is to take the bamboo that is split in half to make "curved water", carrying a lotus leaf lacquer cup into the small pool between the banquets, and then rotating and flowing along the branch stream of the small pond in the banquet, the idea is ingenious, but there is really no artistic conception.
Ye Ziyi ate the cut meat and fruits, took a sip of clear chrysanthemum wine, and pulled Xu Ling to talk, it was not boring.
"It seems that the main master is here. Xu Ling put the amphora lacquer cup in his hand and patted the leaf instrument lacquer cover. "This one can be regarded as the top person among the princes, if you are talented, be his guest. ”
"Who?" Hearing Xu Ling say this, Ye Ziyi became a little interested in the person who came, and said casually. "Isn't it the son's banquet of Confucian scholars today, who is the son here?"
"The son of the Great Qi Kingdom, Jiang Cheng. As soon as Xu Ling said this, Ye Ziyi was happy first.
"Hey, ginger orange, I also have yuzu tea. Ye Ziyi raised her sleeves to cover her mouth, smiling happily, the people who came over there had already come out of the willow bank and came to the banquet, and when she saw the people clearly, Ye Ziyi couldn't be happy anymore, she really couldn't get to the bottom of this long time.
The person who walked slowly over there was a silver silk ink robe, and the son of the sword at his waist was Cheng, today he was crowned with a jade crown, and he was dressed in a crane, and he was more lined with jade, which was unspeakably expensive.
Rubbing behind Yue Ren, Ye Ziyi tried her best to reduce her size and didn't want to be noticed by Gongzi Cheng, but fortunately, she was slender, so she curled up behind Yue Ren, which was not conspicuous.
Gongzicheng and Gongzijiao sat down, and the two chatted for a while, and Gongzicheng suddenly raised his voice. "I don't know which Confucian solved the problem of Menggong?"
Ye Ziyi was wilting here, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel excited, if it weren't for the disfigured toner on her face, it would have turned white in an instant.
"Ah Ye, why don't you hurry forward?" Here Xu Ling stabbed Ye Ziyi and looked at her directly.
For the enthusiasm of this brother, Ye Ziyi really wanted to thank his eight-generation ancestors, but so many people watched, and they couldn't hide, at that moment, she gritted her teeth, her heart was horizontal, she strode out with her head down, and made a deep bow to the two nobles in the main seat.
"In, in the lower Aye, see ...... I've seen Childe. Ye Ziyi bowed down and took a small step back, shrinking, her voice trembled, and her hands trembled, as if she was timid and afraid.
"Jiao, is this the black ugly child you said?" Gongzicheng's deep voice sounded, although it was three years later, Ye Ziyi was still a little uncomfortable hearing his voice, and felt that his heart was beating like a drum, and the back of his neck began to feel cold.
"Exactly. Big brother, this kid has the power to argue dumb and dumb. Gongzi Jiao laughed, holding the jade bone fan and pointing at Ye Ziyi, as if he was telling a joke.
"Oh, that's interesting? Child, look up. Gongzicheng was obviously very interested, and looked at Ye Ziyi again.
"Ah Ye, Ah Ye is ugly, I don't want to be dirty...... Stained Childe's eyes. Ye Ziyi flinched and took a step back, always keeping her bowing movement, until even her sleeves trembled.
Gongzi Cheng frowned, looked at Ye Ziyi for a long time, and said to Gongzi. "Is this man really the one who debated with Menggong?"
Gongzijiao on the side was also a little unhappy, he glanced at Ye Ziyi and frowned. "It's him. ”
"I heard that you solved Meng Gong's unsolvable problem and won the debate against him, I don't know who the teacher is?" Gongzi Cheng sat upright, with a handsome face bubbling with cold air, which made several timid Confucian scholars present show timidity.
"Ah, Ah Ye has no teacher, I ...... I ......" wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, Ye Ziyi rolled his eyes and shrunk his shoulders again.
Feeling Gongzicheng's unhappiness, Ye Ziyi trembled even more happily, and when she was trembling, Yue Ren on the side spoke.
"Childe, this Ah Ye first came to the capital, I think I saw the majesty of the son today, and I was shocked by the son, so I lost the ceremony, and I hope that the son is not strange. The Yue people said, looked at Gongzi Cheng deeply, and relieved Ye Ziyi.
Gongzi Cheng was silent for a while. "Stand down. ”
After that, Gongzi Cheng shook his head, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and Ye Ziyi, who had been liberated, hurriedly returned to his seat, patted his chest and exhaled softly.
After Gongzicheng's pass, Ye Ziyi happily straightened her waist, shook her trembling hands, and raised her eyes to see Xu Ling's handsome face looking at her in confusion.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong?" The accusatory look in his eyes was really terrifying, Ye Ziyi gave him an awkward look, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes and look away.
"Ah Ye, weren't you quite comfortable with Shangmeng Gong just now? When you saw Gongzicheng, why were you so timid? Do you know how much it will benefit you to be appreciated by Gongzicheng?" Xu Ling looked sorry, as if he was the one who lost the opportunity.
"Oh, everyone has their own ambitions, I'm just an idle cloud and a wild crane, I just want to find a place to eat, it doesn't matter what kind of son he is, Brother Xu, hehe, let's drink one?" Ye Ziyi raised the cup and touched it towards the wine glass on Xu Ling's table, and the two crescent-like eyes had a cute taste.
"You, it's okay, it's okay not to like fame and fortune, come!" Xu Ling didn't get entangled, and drank with Ye Ziyi.
Ye Ziyi drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, burped, felt the slightly spicy wine go down her throat and into her stomach, she was slightly dizzy, and smiled at Xu Ling, she squinted slightly, leaned on the long table with her cheeks, and looked at the dancing girl dancing in the field.
