Chapter Ten
On the way from Caoshi to Pavilion, there are more and more charming singers dressed up.
Celebrities are taking folk songs to enjoy the scenery. In addition to serving the servants, they also need graceful women to serve them. These singers are often slaves, and they are better than their appearance. They also learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can become a scene of various gatherings. Along the way, He and Xi Daomao had no expression, only Xie Daoyun was frowning, as if these singers made her feel uncomfortable.
From afar, Wang Ningzhi saw Wang Xizhi. The father of a great calligrapher was talking to his friend, and there were also a group of singers who were surrounded by them, who were romantic and unruly. He was not disgusted with this, at least he was not full of hostility. For men, drinking and eating and thinking about it was not inferior. Especially in the ancient times of patriarchal society, many women were probably just equivalent to objects. In the eyes of some people, the best singers were not even as pleasing to the eye.
"Shuping, come on, I'm just talking about you. I'm not familiar with your remarks. You can sit down and talk in detail." Wang Xizhi waved his hand and let the singer beside him disperse, leaving a area for Wang Ningzhi and the other four to sit down.
This is a small and medium-sized pavilion, with singers playing musical instruments in the middle. There is a small square table in front of everyone. From time to time, maids bring wine and food to them... Among the many talented men and scholars who cannot be named, the majority of them are wearing Taoist robes. The Taoist robes just now were also talking to Wang Xizhi. Perhaps the Wang family believed in the Five Doks of Rice Taoism, and the people who interacted with each other were also the same. After that, the "Evolution Theory" view proposed by Wang Ningzhi was spread by five Taoists. After all, it is related to the belief in the Five Doks of Rice Taoism. Moreover, he also combined the chosen people, the key evolution, with Huang Lao. Although it is rough, as a preliminary theory, it is enough to be valued by these Taoists.
"Where are you talking about, you can say something so that I can explain it." Wang Ningzhi arched his fist, sat down with Xie Daoyun and the others, and asked the Taoists who stopped talking and kept looking at him because of his arrival.
Wang Ningzhi had already confirmed that because his predecessor was pedantic and stubborn and taciturn, except for a few close Taoist friends, there were not many people who interacted with him, so those people in front of him could barely pass if they didn't know him. What the Taoists were embarrassed about was nothing more than the "evolution theory" view had a great impact on the Taoist doctrine of the Five Dogs of Rice. Compared with these upper classes, "evolution theory" could better reflect the voices of the lower class... In the past few days, he did not go shopping for no purpose for no reason, but habitually collected information useful to him. After the family fled south, most of the Tianshi Tao in the south belonged to the Shangqing sect, composed of members of the aristocratic family, and abandoned many doctrines that were beneficial to the lower class. This is also the reason why the Taoist level is high in history he has seen now - the lower class is not allowed.
Diagonally opposite Wang Ningzhi's seat, a middle-aged man who looked similar to Wang Xizhi was not wearing a Taoist robe, but wearing loose clothes. Two beautiful concubines were sitting around him. He was originally playing with each other. After hearing this, he said: "I am discussing the past, Shuping, you are silent, devoted to practicing Taoism, and do not care about the world, but I didn't expect to be studying these principles. Although we are willing to refute, we are also powerless. What you said is reasonable, but I just don't pay attention to, but... In this way, I am afraid that I will offend many people, and I may not be able to be purified on weekdays."
"It's extremely important. Those here are having a good relationship with Yi Shao, so there is no need to worry, but I'm afraid that the real pedantic people will be able to send back some nonsense and affect the comments." Someone agreed.
"Yi Shao should still take care of Shuping for a while. Unexpectedly, he would have a fuss as soon as he got married..."
After hearing this, Wang Xizhi didn't care and smiled happily: "Erlang has his own experience as Erlang, and now he is an adult, I'm afraid I will not follow the rules if I intervene... Besides, Erlang's "Evolution Theory" is not as serious as he says. In any case, this is the result of his concentrating on his practice. It is also a one-man statement and will not end with many denials."
Then the group of people started talking again, but instead threw Wang Ningzhi aside.
Xi Daomao beside him pulled his sleeves and laughed secretly. He reached out and pinched his delicate little nose and was defeated.
This is a comfort for the little girl. In fact, Wang Ningzhi doesn't care whether he is valued or not. If he is unhappy because of whether others care, then life will be too bad... Of course, this may also be related to the behavior, personality and temper of his predecessors: First, most of the people who interact with Wang Xizhi were elders, and they were famous elders, elegant and romantic, and self-admiring. Therefore, it is probably because he showed interest in the "evolution" view proposed by his junior, probably because he is good at being in Wang Xizhi. No one knows what he actually thinks. Secondly, this group of people is mostly Taoists in Shangqing School of Five Doks of Rice. Let's not talk about the "evolution theory" for now. Just the equal remarks mentioned in the first lecture have already touched the bottom line of others, and it is normal to be resisted.
So what these people said sounded like caring for themselves on the surface, but in fact they were full of disdain and contempt. As for whether Wang Xizhi could hear it, I think this father was similar to Li Taibai and was not familiar with this kind of evil way.
This is also good. Wang Ningzhi was idle and did not participate in the discussion. Instead, he played with Xi Daomao beside him and ate some snacks. Perhaps because of the arrival of female family members, the wine here was also fruit wine, sweet and delicious. With pastries, I enjoyed it very much.
Xi Daomao should rarely participate in such gatherings, because his little face, who had drunk fruit wine, was blushed, and a slight breath of alcohol passed through his red lips and exhaled at Wang Ningzhi. It was wet and gentle, mixed with the sweet smell of the little girl. It was indeed cute and cute, and he was even more drunk. After a while, he became a little drunk. His big watery eyes slowly turned, as if he was floating. Wang Ningzhi had to know Xie Daoyun to help her gently so that she could have a support.
"My husband shouldn't let his sister drink. It's so unpolite to be drunk." Xie Daoyun glanced at Wang Ningyi with complaint, reached out to support Xi Daomao and lie in his arms, and took out a small handkerchief to gently wipe his sweat. I don't know whether this glance was to blame Wang Ningzhi for his incompetence or to blame him for only playing with Xi Daomao. Any woman hoped that her husband was a talented and capable person, not a person who would always be transformed by the edges and boundaries during the party.
Wang Ningzhi had to apologize and asked the maid to bring a little bot to Xi Daomao. But seeing that Xie Daoyun seemed to have something to say, she turned her head over and said, "What else is there?"
"Nothing happened?" Xie Daoyun turned her head to the side, as if she was a little confused, but she quickly continued, "Please pay attention to the person in red clothes over there."
A person wearing red clothes?
Wang Ningzhi was unclear and wanted to continue asking in depth, but Xie Daoyun had already turned around and talked to He. She seemed to have no intention of paying attention to him anymore. In desperation, she could only look at the man in red on the other side. She looked good. It seemed that men of this era always tended to be a cream boy. People with strong and fierce faces rarely saw Kong Wu... When he looked over, he found that the man in red was always looking at him, but this line of sight seemed not to him.
Soon he realized that he could not help but feel funny. Looking at the people on the pavilion, the man in red had the most maids around him, occupying a large area, so that no man was communicating with him. He was a wandering figure. In such a public occasion, he had already put his hands deep into the singer's underwear in his arms, but his eyes were flowing back and forth around Xie Daoyuan and He.
Wang Ningzhi usually ignores such people he doesn't know each other on weekdays. No matter where and when, there is always a kind of thing that you can't convince the other person. They are useless, but the more you care about them, the more disgusting you. This is the conclusion drawn from countless experiences. After all, eyes are on their faces, and no matter how they use them, they can't control them. But since Xie Daoyun has reminded him, he must pay attention and glar back.
The man in red felt his gaze and actually looked at him with a slutty look at other people's female relatives and blamed others. He even nodded and signaled, then pulled over a maid next to him, said a few words, and soon the maid turned around with a blushing face, walked to Wang Ningzhi, lowered her head and said a few words.
"Mr. Xu Lian hopes to have a few drinks with his wife. In return, Miss Biyou can accompany the young master for a moment and let it play with you."
The maid seemed to see Wang Ningzhi's face gloomy and felt it was not good, so she stopped talking and hurriedly wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Wang Ningzhi.
Xie Daoyuan was distracted by the actions here. Seeing Wang Ningzhi holding the maid with a gloomy face, she thought of the man in red frequently paying attention to him and his sister-in-law. She had an answer in her heart. Although exchanging maids and concubines is an elegant interest between famous scholars, the exchange object is often a singer or a concubine without a name. She herself has no good feelings for such things. Now this man who doesn't look like a celebrity actually hits his vulgar thoughts on her. Not only is he disgusting, but he looks even more majestic, and even startled the sister-in-law around her. However, she cannot participate in the meeting between men, so she can only pray in her heart...
After holding the maid, Wang Ningzhi sneered and said, "Go back and tell this person named Xu Lian, you want to exchange, yes, I personally yearn for it, but the singer named Biyou is not in my liking. I like older ones, so you ask him, I don't know if his mother is still alive, and can give birth to such a young young man with a beautiful young man, I must have the appearance of being ashamed of flowers and moon. If the exchange partner is his mother... I must agree!"
