Tracing Time (3)

In fact, Mu Xi himself can't say what he thinks about Lin Yunzhu in his heart, but he can be sure that he doesn't like it at all, at most he just has a good feeling, or it's a fantasy, and almost all boys will look forward to beautiful girls, right? Gentle, there are more people who like her, he is not much, and there is a lot less of him, if according to Shao Xuechen's meaning, wouldn't it be that the male compatriots in the whole school palace are his rivals in love? For the rivals in love, everyone wants to get rid of each other first and then quickly, right? Could it be that this madman wants to provoke the whole grade by himself? He should be able to do such crazy things, right? Will he take himself first and make an example of killing chickens and monkeys?

But in fact, Mu Xi was too worried, Shao Xuechen didn't plan to kill Mu Xi to achieve the effect of killing chickens and monkeys, nor did he catch him and beat him up to make him give up his thoughts about Lin Yunzhu, not everyone is as extreme as Su Xun's brainless fans. Since he was a child, Lin Xiaoyun taught him to be generous, to be a gentleman not a villain, to do things in a fair and upright way, not to steal chickens and dogs, etc., after every day of training, he read some books under the supervision of Lin Xiaoyun, the content of the book is boring and tasteless, he has a long wandering mind, and the consequence of being distracted is to take a few precepts, and then continue to hold the book with red and swollen hands under the reprimand. Occasionally, Lin Xiaoyun had something to leave halfway, so he could desert for a while, holding his head with his hands and looking at the geese flying south outside the window, and waiting until Lin Yunzhu came back to have a talking companion. That time was really hard, and there was almost no chance to play, until he officially became a student of the Academy Palace, until he was beheaded in the Academy.

"Everyone has the right to pursue someone or something they like. Shao Xuechen said, "They are all competitors to each other." ”

"But shouldn't competitors be more unscrupulous?" Mu Xi was a little curious, "Beat the other party down, and enjoy the fruits of victory for yourself." It's as if in order to fight for power, the emperor's own sons can become rivals overnight, and they can do whatever they can to get the other person to fall into the struggle for the throne. ”

Shao Xuechen didn't know how to answer for a while, and what Mu Xi said was right, in order to achieve the goal, he would do whatever it takes. But that would be too impersonal, and it would go against Lin Xiaoyun's original intention of teaching him. And it's too inappropriate to use the metaphor of the throne, isn't it? It's not the same thing at all, how can the throne be compared to people?

"It's completely incomparable. Shao Xuechen said, "The competition is not the same thing. ”

"But the relationship between competitors and competitors is the same. Mu Xi wiped his face with a towel and prepared to come out of the water, "Not everyone is so noble. ”

He suddenly seemed to be a different person, surprisingly old, and his words seemed to have a feeling of seeing through the warmth and coldness of the world and the essence of the world, and his gestures were like pointing out the country. But if it is in the eyes of the older generation, it is: "What do older children know? Lao Tzu has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten." ”

Then you will reluctantly begin to refute him, embellished with all sorts of tear-jerking words to show your infinite pain. But it's usually laughed at, and then they'll say, "What are you kid thinking all day? Didn't I experience what you've been through?"

Everyone grows up from a young age, and no one will be an adult from the beginning......

"Speak as if you've been through it. It was the first time Shao Xuechen had been spoken by his peers in an elder-like tone, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Mu Xi shrugged and didn't say anything, but he did experience it, but he was a passive competitor. It's just uncomfortable to talk about this experience, but it's better not to say it, no one will want to listen to your tragic story, at most take it as a joke, and then pat you on the shoulder with a hippie smile and say, "You're miserable too." ”

When I look back on that memory, I seem to have a bitter taste in my mouth, and when I wake up at some point, I still feel that I am sitting in the carriage that leaves the palace, looking at the palace that is gradually moving away, and the palace is refracted by the setting sun. In addition, Shao Xuejian's life experience can only be described as a deep house, unusually monotonous, like a rich lady who is waiting to be married, even if she goes out, she has to sit in a sedan chair, or she is veiled, as smooth as a piece of white paper, although it is dyed a little red, but in general she still has good thoughts about the world.

"You two, you've been in there for a long time. The name of the duplicate voice sounded outside the door, low and penetrating, "Do you want to continue talking?" ”

When the sound stopped, there was only the sound of footsteps outside the door.

So the two of them climbed out of the pool, wiped off the water stains on their bodies, and dug out a set of clothes from the storage ring to change into. Don't think about it, Shao Xuechen is still extremely simple white.

Mu Xi was actually very curious about why Shao Xuechen washed his clothes like new, dazzlingly white, he also wore white clothes, and later because it was too difficult to wash, even if he washed it, he couldn't wash it clean, and it turned dark yellow, so he didn't wear it.

Yamina sat on the host's seat, and his guests sat on either side of the table. The dishes on the dark red walnut table are not very rich, but they are delicate enough to make people feel expensive just by looking at them. The lid of the silver flask is inlaid with a piece of red agate, which sparkles.

This is somewhat unexpected, the luxury of these dishes is not so amazing, and even a little too simple for the identity of the city lord, it can also be said to be shabby, and in popular terms, it is not worthy. This guy is still thrifty, Mu Xi wanted to satirize the idea of luxury and absurdity at the dinner table, and he also thought about the name and was so sarcastic that his face turned red as if he was choking.

At the beckoning of Shigena, the servant standing next to him, ready to serve at any time, began to act. He held the wooden tray and placed the cutlery in front of the guests in turn, these steps were carried out from the right, that is, the place where Shao Xuechen was sitting, and finally the name was repeated. The following pouring is done in this way. This is dining etiquette, the host feasts the guests, and naturally everything is focused on the guests. Dining etiquette is a way to make guests feel valued and satisfy their vanity.

The servant withdrew after pouring the wine and stood silently near the door, with his eyes fixed on the table, so that he could be ready to spot the problem and at the same time serve effectively.

He said, "Let's dine with the two of you, and wash the dust for you." ”

It's a very cheesy word of hospitality, but it's very timely.

Shao Xuechen doesn't know anything about dining etiquette, except for having eaten with his parents, master and Lin Yunzhu since he was a child. Of course, you don't need to pay attention to any so-called dining etiquette when eating with your parents and masters, you just sit on a chair and wait for the elders to move the chopsticks first, and then you can use the chopsticks to reach out to the food that emits moisture. So at this moment, he naturally thought that the chopsticks should be moved by the duplicate name first, but the duplicate name seemed to abide by the dining etiquette extraordinarily, and did not cross the thunder pool at all, but just talked to the two of them without a match.

He didn't know that the two people at the table were waiting for him, so he could only answer the question of the same name without a match.

The name is obviously also a person who is not very good at talking, and the questions raised are just some "How old are you? What are the students of the first level of the school palace? How many acres of land are there at home?", just like the woman is asking about the family situation of the blind date, if both parties are satisfied, then the marriage is so booked, and the wedding can be held on a later date. Obviously he didn't want to say it, but he had to, otherwise he would be cold, although his temperament was mean, but there was a noble arrogance in his bones, how could he let the guests be neglected by entertaining guests? So he could only use his clumsy conversation skills to talk to the two people at the table.

Mu Xi glanced at Shao Xuejian vigorously, signaling that he was the core of the dining table, and asked him to pick up the chopsticks immediately. He knew that Shao Xuechen didn't understand these etiquette, so he could only hint at him and directly point out that it would make people see the joke. As a prince who has lived in the deep palace since childhood, the court etiquette is more stringent, although he himself feels that these etiquettes are completely unnecessary, but the surface politeness is also needed, and the partner is equal to his own trouble, which is not good. But he still overestimated Shao Xuechen's comprehension ability, and Shao Xuechen thought that his face was distorted because his stomach hurt so much that he couldn't stand it.

"You are the guest of honor, you have to move the chopsticks first, otherwise no one will move, and we will all be hungry." Mu Xi whispered to Shao Xuejian, the voice was as small as raindrops slapping on the stone slab.

Persistent attempts will eventually lead to success, Shao Xuechen finally understood what he meant, picked up chopsticks and took the first bite of the dish.

Thankfully, Mu Xi didn't believe in the so-called "success is based on countless failures", because he thought he was a failure himself and had never succeeded. But now he believes. A sense of pride,Or a sense of accomplishment overflowed from the heart that had been dried up for a long time.,The chief of the school palace is inferior to him in some aspects.,You still need his help.,This situation is that the rest of the school palace is estimated to be able to handle it as well as him.,What does the mage's school garden do to learn social etiquette?Thinking about it, he feels that he is not too wasteful.,It should be a little better than salted fish and waste wood.。 Who said that the people at the bottom are not worthy of shining points? No one wants to be a waste of firewood, and who would be willing to be called a waste of wood every day? Waste wood can also be a person with its own aura.

At the same time, he also discovered that if he wanted a piece of wood to understand his meaning, he either spoke straight or shut up, and he would only be angry with himself if he tried to drill the tip of the horns. It's like when you're old, your children and grandchildren are full, you feed your grandson all day long, and you are worried that he will be hungry if your grandson doesn't eat, so you chase him step by step with your weak legs, holding a bowl and spoon in your hand, and finally catch up with him. In the end, you lie in bed in agony, and come to the conclusion that you might as well not feed it.

The wine is warm and fragrant, and the liquor ripples slightly when it is lifted in the glass, and the taste of the wine is different from that of ordinary wines, and it has a unique sweetness. It's like drinking sugar water, and you get it in one gulp. It's also a good thing for someone like Shao Xuejin, who has barely drunk alcohol, and too strong alcohol can make first-time drinkers frown.

"This is rice wine, the taste is very mellow, and it is even more fragrant after warming. Personally, I don't like to drink spirits too much, because they are so spicy that your throat feels like you are on fire. He drank the wine in his glass, squinting and enjoying it.

"Don't all officials like to drink spirits at the wine table?" Mu Xi put down his chopsticks, and his words were prickly, "Then take advantage of the wine to say something that is not easy to show." ”

It was true, some of the officials laughed wantonly at the wine table, and his skin, which was as white as a domestic pig, turned red with the blessing of the spirits, and when he came up, he began to take a charming woman and sit on his lap, and the other oily hand savagely rubbed against her delicate and full flesh, and everyone at the wine table laughed vigorously, touched vigorously, and applauded each other. Under the bright and beautiful clothes are fat heads and big ears, and the white flesh on the belly is stacked in circles, and what is contained in it is I don't know whether it is lofty ambition or disgusting and disgusting greasy.

The rare delicacies on the table seemed to be bleeding and smelling like they had been scorched by leftovers poured at the end of the alley, and they were covered with cheering flies. It is definitely not a food for man, but there are still countless hands reaching out to it, so it is better to be bold, to splash more leftovers, to let the flies and those who put their hands on it eat to the fullest, and let the flowers grow out of the stench and filth, then this filth can be regarded as a little bright.

"Noncommittal. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "The glory of the empire has been sprinkled on the Frost Fortress City, on the Maple Leaf City, and on the North Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea, and the vast territory of more than 10 million miles has been sheltered by the glory of the Empire." His body was upright at this moment, and his emotions were a little excited, "But the glory of the empire cannot be scattered to every corner after all, in the dark corners without light, rampant bugs and rats will be raised, but those filthy lifetimes can only stay in that corner where the light does not shine." For them, the light that everyone longs for is poison, and it will kill them. ”

"Do you like bed bugs or rats?" asked Mu Xi.

"I like to sit in the middle of the lake pavilion and drink tea in the sunshine. "So I don't have to worry about being pushed to the gallows one day, spat on by the people and throwing rotten eggs." ”
