At that time, in the current world, slaves and servants were equivalent to doing private property, and the situation in the Tang Empire was slightly better if they could be disposed of at will.

When the Xiling Daotong said what Prince Longqing meant, everyone in the audience did not feel strange. Although the scholars of the academy and Hua Shanyue and other Tang people were a little disgusted by the pride and gift that the Dao boy's words revealed, after all, this meaning was in line with the class difference between the two sides, and they were also silent.

In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Sangsang, who was standing next to Ning Que, was only thirteen or fourteen years old, as thin as bean sprouts, with an ordinary complexion and a dark complexion.

The high-ranking Xiling big man, because of the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, drinking, feasting, shooting and other similar things, took a fancy to an inconspicuous little maid in Chang'an City, and put it in the upper class society This is elegant, Ning Que Ruo is willing to transfer the little maid to the prince of Longqing, the prince will naturally have a very generous return, and it may be a rumored incident in the future.

So no one was shocked, no one was surprised, and no one was angry, but some people, such as Zhong Dajun, cast a faint envious glance at Ning Que, secretly thinking that if he could give away the little maid into the eyes of the prince of Longqing, he didn't know how much benefit and convenience he would get from it in the future.

Princess Li Yu also remained silent at this time...... But her silence had nothing to do with her demeanor, she thought about something last year, and looked at Ning Que with a smile, knowing that this matter might evolve in an interesting direction.

In fact, after hearing the gentle and extremely gifted announcement of the Xiling Daotong, Ning Que was stunned for a long time before he figured out what the other party wanted to do, and the reason why he was so slow to react was because he had never thought in his life that someone would ask him for a poem, and he used such a stinky attitude of looking for death.

Why? I'm sorry, there's no reason why it's unreasonable, just because he's the high-ranking prince of Longqing, the big man of the Xiling Divine Temple's adjudication department...... He likes your little maid, and wants to have a little maid to drink two glasses of wine with him when he is bored, so you should send the twins over to raise you with a handful of and urine, and send a girl who has slept on the kang for more than ten years, and then smile shyly and wait for the prince to be happy, reward you with some silver, reward you with some future, and reward you with some glory?

Because of the scientific truth, in fact, there is no reason, Ning Que's mood suddenly became extremely bad, but the smile on his face became more and more bright, and he looked at the table in the distance and said with emotion: "Prince Longqing, you are really beautiful." ”

His reaction was very slow, he was extremely slow to react to many things, especially Sangsang, who had drunk too much liquor today, reacted even slower than him, and only then did he careless, knowing that the prince on the table actually wanted to snatch himself from the young master, he couldn't help frowning and retorted: "Young master, he looks too bad." ”

In the concept of everyone in the field, this kind of thing has nothing to do with Sang Sang herself, as long as the owner is willing to send it, then she can only go. They only cared about Ning Que's answer...... Nao was quietly waiting for his answer.

Most of them speculated that Ning Que should agree, and a few thought that he should refuse, but no matter who it was, they didn't expect that Ning Que's answer had nothing to do with this matter, and it seemed a little inexplicable Prince Longqing, you are really beautiful...... What does this mean?

Just dissipated the wine, Prince Longqing was quietly looking at the empty small wine jar on the table, suddenly hearing this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, raised his handsome and peerless face, looked into the distance and said indifferently: "Thank you, I know." ”

"Since you know you're beautiful......"

Ning Que looked at that place and said very seriously: "Then don't think about it too beautiful." ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

Even if everyone in the audience thought that Ning Que would refuse to give away his little maid, they thought that he would also use some kind of very tactful way of refusal, referred to as polite refusal, for example, he was used to using this little maid, this little maid was from a vulgar background, and how could he not be elegant, but they didn't expect him to refuse so simple, direct, rough, and ruthless!

Want my little maid?

Prince Longqing's face gradually sank, but after a moment, he smiled slightly.

Ning Que looked at him and smiled, explaining, "The reason is very simple, because I don't want to. ”

Prince Longqing slowly stretched out his hands from his sleeves, rested calmly on the table, calmly looked at Ning Que in the dark corner in the distance, and said slowly: "Because you don't want to, you may have done a lot." ”

"I've never been worried about missing something. Ning Que replied.

Prince Longqing's sharp gaze fell on his face from an extremely long distance, and after a moment of silence, he said, "It may even be like ...... The friendship of the main hall?"

Ning Que raised her eyebrows slightly and replied, "Maybe your friendship is not as valuable as you think." ”

Hearing this, Prince Longqing seemed to be coated with a layer of frost between his eyebrows and eyes, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that you value your little maid very much. ”

Ning Que replied with a smile, "What does this have to do with you?"

Prince Longqing said coldly: "The master of the little maid is really interesting, and my interest in you is getting stronger and stronger." ”

Ning Que shook his head and said, "Mix your interest with wine and drink it, if you can still drink it."

When the two of them were talking, there was silence in the courtyard of the Victorious Residence, and even the birds outside the rain corridor were too nervous to speak. As the conversation progressed, people's faces became more and more exciting, more and more eccentric, they never thought that Ning Que, an ordinary academy student, would actually be able to talk to the big man of the Xiling Temple's Adjudication Division.

Prince Longqing's expression was still calm, but anyone could see the love that was about to burn in his indifferent eyes, and the strong meaning revealed in his words, only to hear him ask in a cold voice: "But this palace is still very curious, in your heart, who is qualified to be the master of this little maid." ”

Under the powerful power, Ning Que seemed to be unconscious, and replied with a slight raised eyebrows: "Actually, this still has nothing to do with you, but since Your Highness is so interested, I can only say ...... At least you're not eligible. ”

"I'm not eligible, so who is eligible?"

Prince Longqing laughed loudly, but he didn't feel a bit of joy in the laughter, only a certain kind of strong self-confidence and domineering, the laughter gradually subsided, he glanced at Li Yu, who was silent on the other side, and asked, "Could it be Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Ning Que smiled, the dimple on his left cheek was extraordinarily fresh, and said, "No, she doesn't either." ”

As soon as this sentence came out, it caused an uproar in the audience, but before these shocking and complicated feelings fermented, Li Yu smiled and answered, she looked at the prince of Longqing and the others at the banquet opposite and said: "I have asked this kid for Sangsang several times, but he doesn't bother to pay attention to me, so it is obvious that I am not qualified for this, as for you Prince Longqing, I think you are not more qualified than this palace." ”

During the field, the Xiling and Yan people such as the prince of Longqing have been on the upper hand for a long time, Li Yu has been silent and smiling and watching the chess without saying a word, but at this time, she blocked all the opponent's backhands with a word, she is the most favored princess of the Tang Empire, even if you are a peerless genius, a big man in the Xiling Adjudication Division, and the prince of the Yan Kingdom, but are you qualified to be compared with this palace, I don't care about Ning Que repeatedly rejecting me, why do you care?

This is a very simple and powerful logic, which is the typical truth and style of the Tang people.

Princess Datang said that she thought it was a strong endorsement, and this little turmoil seemed to be coming to an end, Sang Sang pulled Ning Que's sleeve, looked up and said, "Young master, let's go home?"

Ning Que smiled and nodded, but everyone in the audience, including Li Yu, didn't expect that he didn't leave, but reached out and rubbed Sang Sang's head, looked at the Prince of Longqing in the banquet above and said seriously:

"Prince, I have a few questions for you. ”

Hearing this, many people in the audience thought of what Xie Chengyun said when he stood up at the previous moment, and there was a sudden silence, and the academy looked at Ning Que in shock, thinking that Xie Sangongzi had all failed in the debate before, could it be that you, a guy who called himself sick and avoided the exam, still want to make a splash with this?

Prince Longqing's expression gradually condensed, he stretched out his hand to arrange the front of his shirt, sat up straight, spread his right hand and said, "Please." ”

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any interest in debating, in fact I'm not very good at it, I'm just a little confused about your previous self-confidence, so I have a few questions I want to ask. ”

Ning Que took a step forward and asked, "May I ask the prince, does the sky have eyes?"

However, although Ning Que said that it was not difficult to argue, the prince of Longqing still dealt with it very carefully, and after a little thought, he understood what he said, Haotian dwells on the sky, mercy and benevolence look down on hundreds of millions of people, so ......

"The sky naturally has eyes. ”

Ning Ran then asked, "Is there a vitality between heaven and earth?"

Prince Longqing replied: "Of course there is." ”

Ning Que quickly asked the next question: "Is there a pattern to follow in the fluctuation of vitality?"

Prince Longqing responded: "Yes." ”

"Does a locust tree have roots?"

"Yes. ”

"Do floating insects have life?"

"Yes. ”

"Do normal people have thoughts?"

"Yes. ”

"Does my Datang have a son of heaven?"

"Yes. ”

"Is there a law in Xiling?"

"Yes. ”

Ning Que asked questions faster and faster...... But these questions are indeed extremely simple, and they have nothing to do with the debate, and the speed of Prince Longqing's answers is getting faster and faster, and the questions and answers between the two of them are as bright and fast as fried beans, and everyone in the audience is more and more puzzled, what exactly does he want to do, and at this moment, he heard Ning Que's next question.

"Are there holes in the socks?"

"Of course ......"

Prince Longqing suddenly raised his eyebrows and said nothing, and then looked at Ning Que standing in the middle of the field with a smile, like watching a pity worm whose cleverness was crushed, and continued to reply in an indifferent tone:

"Nope. ”

This series of questions was boring and even boring, but because it was related to the prince of Longqing, and it was related to the previous turmoil, everyone in the audience listened very carefully and carefully, when Ning Que asked a question, all the beings thought together, and answered silently with the prince of Longqing in their hearts, and when the last question appeared, they answered silently and directly in their hearts...... They thought for a while, and Fang Shi was shocked to understand that this qiē was just a verbal trap set by Ning Que.

Situ Yilan frowned and thought for a while, looked at Ning Que and shook his head, and said in a low voice to Jin Wucai beside him. It's a pity that I couldn't make Prince Longqing ugly. ”

Prince Longqing is worthy of being a big man in the adjudication department of Xiling Temple, and he is worthy of being a genius in the limelight, he is a person in the bureau, but at this most critical moment, he found that Ning Que's series of questions was just to induce himself into a certain psychological stereotype and language inertia, wanting to make a mistake in the last simple to stupid question, and wanting to admit that the socks had holes in front of everyone in the audience, so he naturally would not be fooled.

He looked at Ning Que with a look of pity and disgust, and said, "I didn't expect this hall to listen patiently to your question, and in the end, it was this kind of cleverness that did not make it to the palace, and it really failed to meet the expectations of this hall." ”

Ning Que also looked at him with a smile, and after a moment of silence, he shook his head and said, "It's true that it's just some cleverness, but it's a pity, the prince, you can't even cope with this kind of cleverness, it's really disappointing to me." ”

No one understood what he was saying, thinking that he began to talk nonsense in shame, and those college classmates who were already very estranged from him turned their heads one after another, showing shame that they were the same as him

Ning Que shook his head, looked down at Sang Sang and sighed, "Do you remember the story I told you when I was a child?

"Stupid. ”

Sang Sang said: "Young Master, you were right that day, most men who are too good-looking are not very good at brains. ”

Then she looked at Prince Longqing on the table...... Seriously explained: "If there is no hole in the sock, how can you put it in?"

Once again, the crowd was silent, and the people who wanted to understand this matter were dumbfounded, bowing their heads in shame, and the people who hadn't figured it out yet but could guess it by looking at the expressions of the people around them were dumbfounded, and they didn't have time to bow their heads.

Li Yu on the table and Situ Yilan under the seat couldn't help but laugh, the expressions of everyone in Xiling were extremely ugly, as for the prince of Longqing himself, after being commented by Sang Sang as a man with a bad brain, after trying to understand this hateful language trap, his face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water, like a beautiful watercolor painting painted on a rainy day.

"I asked you just now, and you also answered me, we all know that Haotian has eyes, he is looking at the beings in the world, and you and I are like insects and locust trees, living in the vitality of heaven and earth, we must follow certain laws. ”

Ning Que looked at Prince Longqing and said calmly: "These laws are in my Tang Dynasty, and they are the Son of Heaven Jin. Yuyan or Tang law, in Xiling is the sacred law, but either way, it is clearly recognized that everyone's private property is inviolable, so my things will always be mine, as long as I don't agree, then don't think about taking it away. ”

Only then did everyone realize that in the previous seemingly boring questions, he still had such a meaning.

Ning Que continued: "I asked these questions just to let the prince know these truths. Even if you answered the answer that the three-year-old should have known, it didn't make any sense, of course the socks were holes, of course my little maid was mine, and as long as I didn't agree, you couldn't take a penny from me. ”

Prince Longqing stared at his face, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly laughed, and said flatly: "What you said makes sense, but I also know some other truths, if you don't have the strength, even if you only have the last penny on your body, sometimes it is difficult to keep it." ”

Ning Que smiled and asked, "Prince, are you threatening me?"

Then he looked at Zeng Jing, a college student and Li Yu on the white seat, clasped his hands, and asked very seriously: "Your Royal Highness Princess, scholar, he is threatening me, what should I do?"

Scholar Zeng Jing was directly pushed against the wall by his words, stroked his beard lightly, and forced a smile: . Where can there be such a thing, probably because you, a teenager, have heard it. ”

Li Yu replied with a smile: "Could it be that with your little ability, you still want to fight and die?"

Suddenly, she changed her words and said indifferently: "But I really don't know who dares to threaten my Tang people in Chang'an City." ”

This is the real threat.

Priest Mo Li was furious, and he was about to get up as soon as he slapped the table in front of him, but at this moment, Prince Longqing glanced coldly at the division commander of the year, forcibly suppressed the other party, and then looked at Ning Que, and asked with a smile:

"You're also a student of the academy, will the main hall see you when you enter the second floor?"

Someone in the room suddenly replied: He didn't even enter the technical department, so naturally he couldn't enter the second floor. ”

The person who interjected was Zhong Dajun, Ning Que's question about socks directly made everyone in the audience feel embarrassed, and he felt the strongest, at this time, listening to Prince Longqing's question, he pointed out at the first time that Ning Que had no cultivation potential, and was not qualified to enter the second floor, as if he could humiliate the other party like this.

Prince Longqing looked at Ning Que expressionlessly and said, "That's really a pity. ”

After Ning Que was silent for a moment, he said with a smile: "There may not be so many regrets in the world. ”

Sang Sang tugged at the corners of his sleeves and said for the second time, "Young Master, go home." ”

Ning Que glanced at Zhong Dajun and those academy classmates, and said: "I know that you have always been ashamed to be with me, and today you will only think that I have played some clever, I don't care, I just want to remind you to put more of these moral thoughts on your studies, if you can't answer this kind of question that a three-year-old child will answer in the future, then it will be my turn to be ashamed to be in the company of you." ”

After saying this, he saluted Li Yu and several court officials, and then turned around and led Sang Sang away.

While walking out of the courtyard, Ning Que said with emotion: "Peerless...... Genius...... ZTE hopes......"

Then he shook his head, smiled and sighed. p four ip four a ah!"

Listening to the sound that kept drifting in, there was an awkward silence in the audience, and Prince Longqing's face was hard to see.
