Chapter Eleven Rebuttal
The maid's face turned pale. She looked up at Wang Ningzhi in disbelief. Seeing that his face was not like a joke, she was very hesitant, not knowing whether she should be passing the message like this.
"Go, do you want to stay with me to drink with me? You think beautifully, but unfortunately my wife won't agree, she will be jealous." Waving his hand to let the maid leave, Wang Ningzhi said to Xie Daoyun with a smile. The voice was not loud, but it happened to be heard by the people around him. However, after saying that, Xie Daoyun was still unmoved and seemed to have not heard at all, which made him shake his head. It seemed that with the relationship between the two parties, it was too early to make such a joke.
The maid should not dare to fake the message. At most, he added the previous sentence "What the young master said over there has nothing to do with me" and the man named Xu Lian froze when he heard the maid's message. He quickly pushed the maid aside in anger, and then glared at Wang Ningyi's eyes fiercely, but did not dare to have an attack immediately... He knew that he was afraid that there would be any problems in this place, so he could only hold his breath secretly, turning his eyes into weapons from time to time, and he would also explain to others why he pushed the maid aside.
Wang Ningzhi, who hadn't seen Xie Daoyun for a long time, felt helpless, so he had to pour a glass of fruit wine, raise it up, smile and nod at Xu Lian, with disgust in the corner of his eyes. When he was so angry that his whole body trembled, he drank it all in one go.
The cold evening breeze is no longer blowing, blowing from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, curtains of various colors slowly float. In this dark night, accompanied by lights, it is like a dream. It is a time when there are many people, and many people who have enjoyed dinner have also walked out of their houses and come to the party to stroll. The night gathering is slightly different from the day gathering. Various pastries and novel toys account for the majority. I want to exchange daily necessities in the daytime. The exchange of daily necessities has been completed in the daytime. The time is now for people to enjoy it.
There was another person from the small pavilion here. A talented man and beautiful woman who were leading a beautiful concubine. After they came, they greeted each other, performed wine orders, recited poems and essays, and were so uncomfortable... Wang Ningzhi, who tried not to express it as much as possible, could not avoid being affected.
At the beginning, the middle-aged man dressed as a loose-fitting fairy, sitting diagonally opposite him was shouted by everyone and became the order. He started with short sentences describing spring, and started in turn. Who would be punished to drink if he couldn't say he could. In serious cases, he would be punished to recite a poem. In this way, the maid who served the man was busy again, and his graceful figure kept passing through the crowd to drink... From the conversation between these people, Wang Ningzhi still learned the true identities of these people. The middle-aged man was considered Xu Shen, the new prefect of Kuaiji County, and his surname was the same as Xu Lian, but the two had no blood relationship.
Of course, this was just what he asked when his maid poured wine. It was not true. After all, after the game of drinking orders began, Xu Lian and Xu Shen had frequent interactions, and even if they were not related by blood, they were quite close. Xu Shen was the prefect of a county and Xu Lian was the son of a refugee general. After understanding these, Wang Ningzhi sneered. Although he was not familiar with the official positions of this era, ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad were nothing more than those things. Let’s see that Xu Lian frequently looked at him when he talked with Xu Shen. The person who could get into the position of county magistrate became a spirit. He still smiled and was unmoved, but he might have a secret stumbling.
"Erlang, it's your time, I won't make things difficult for you. Just say a short sentence with spring as the theme can be revealed..." After half a circle, Wang Xizhi, who was closest to Wang Ningzhi, said with a smile. After all, it was his father who gave the broadest topic.
Wang Ningzhi opened his mouth and came: "Sleeping in spring will not make you feel dawn, and you will hear birds singing everywhere."
He didn't remember many poems and songs. He had already entered society and did not use much of this kind of thing. He had already learned in junior high school and high school and had already returned it to the school intact. However, there were indeed many poems describing spring, and he could still remember some of them occasionally.
Wang Xizhi was stunned, as if he had met his son again, and looked Wang Ningzhi carefully, and then he laughed for a moment, "Erlang was like a worm in my stomach. As soon as the problem was said, a short sentence blurted out, 'Sleeping in spring will not make you feel dawn, and you can hear birds crying everywhere' can be called medium..."
"I didn't pay attention to Shuping in the past. Now it seems that there is a scene where you have accumulated a lot of strength and become late."
"Let's not talk about the theory of evolution for now. This ability has improved rapidly. This answer speed may be the fastest among us tonight."
...People continue to agree with Wang Xizhi's sighs, and there must be dislikes among them, such as Xu Lian, but they have to accept the fact that Wang Ningzhi's views and knowledge have been infinitely elevated.
In Wang Ningzhi's view, the so-called famous literary names are actually hyped up. Although the son should not doubt his father's artificiality, Wang Xizhi's performance just now is indeed a deliberate suspicion. As a father, even if his son is not good at playing, he will seize the opportunity to help his son with his help... However, he did not know that the soul in Wang Ningzhi's body had long been replaced by another person.
In addition to the strangeness of Wang Ningzhi's feelings for Wang Xizhi, in addition to the strangeness of his father's sudden change, the descendants also admire the saint of calligraphy from the bottom of their hearts. They just have to talk far-fetchedly about the father-son relationship. For him who is indifferent to his feelings, it is indeed not easy.
The result was very good, and the wine orders were passed down one by one, and Wang Ningzhi became the person with the most names in the pavilion.
...
Xu Lian's face became increasingly ugly. At first, he did not know Wang Ningzhi, and even more, he only heard about the famous Xie Daoyun and did not see anyone else. He originally thought that the two women he liked were just Wang Ningzhi's maids. For him, exchanging maids and concubines to play was a kind of elegance, not a trivial matter that could not be put on the table. Moreover, the circles he had been in contact with on weekdays were good, so he had the things he asked rashly, but he never thought he was rejected.
The reason for being rejected touched his bottom line, so that the beautiful maids and concubines around him became boring. He drank the wine in one gulp, his face was gloomy. Finally, he couldn't help but stand up with a glass of wine and said, "It's the first time that Xu Lian has heard the view of "evolution" by Brother Shuping, which is indeed fresh. It contains the great way, especially the meaning of equality of all things behind "sustaining in the world, survival of the fittest" is quite elegant... However, this view seems to be more inclined to the poor family. Could it be that Brother Shuping wants to convey to us through this view that a poor family is about to rise? In this way, is it inappropriate to still drink and have fun with us, and chat and laugh?"
...
The music stops, and the singing stops.
The mountain wind blows, and the veils around slowly sway.
Wang Ningzhi frowned, habitually tightened his clothes, raised his head, facing more than a dozen pairs of intriguing eyes. Some things will not be touched when people interact. This is a little trick of communication, but if someone deliberately raises them, it will often cause such a scene... It is quiet, and no one can speak easily. If you are not careful at this time, you will gain a bad reputation. Even if the protagonist is a family member like the Wang family, it is still the case.
Everyone's reaction was different. Wang Xizhi just showed unhappiness; He looked at his brother-in-law worriedly; Xie Daoyun stared at the wine glass in front of him with a calm face, as if it had nothing to do with him; only Xi Daomao was still sleeping soundly in Xie Daoyun's arms, and would even pout inadvertently; as for the others, they couldn't tell how to make noise. Even if they didn't have the intention to make things difficult for Wang Ningzhi, they didn't speak at this time. They were all literati and famous scholars. This was usually the case when metaphysical talks involved the collision between Tao and Tao.
"If you leave your background, knowledge and other factors, you can sit together. This is called fate. Besides, I am friends with you. What's wrong with drinking with friends?" Fortunately, Wang Ningzhi encountered this scene before, so he didn't feel distracted. Under the gaze of so many people, his movements in his hands were not slow. He picked them up and was drunk in one mouthful. He said slowly, "I am different from Confucius and I have different ideas, but I can be a teacher and student; Boya and Zhong Ziqi are in different classes, with different knowledge and different thoughts, but they can interact and know each other and be confidants. Although I am not as good as a sage, aren't even qualified to imitate?... Besides, the thought hidden behind the 'Evolution theory' is to support poor families, but I have never had this idea. I think it must be fabricated by Brother Xu himself..."
"It's so obvious, how can I make up the fabrication?" Xu Lian snorted coldly, staring at Wang Ningzhi, his eyebrows turned into two sharp arrows and intersected between them. "Brother Shuping wanted to rely on these simple quibblings to shirk the past. Do you think that all the people here are yellow-mouthed slapped men who have never been to school?"
"Don't be excited. If you get angry, you can't have sex... Since you are so interested in the 'Evolution Theory', I'll just talk to you slowly. Sit down." Wang Ningzhi smiled and waved his hand, not caring about Xu Lian's step by step. "The so-called equality is just an extension. Please pay attention to the main point I said. These eight words - natural selection, survival of the fittest. Especially the survival of the fittest, then in the present time, the most adaptable one is also our gentry, not a poor family... God chooses this kind of thing. For us, we are the choice of heaven, and for poor families, if anyone wants to make a name for themselves, we are the one who chooses them... Where have you heard of me defending poor families? Don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart!"
"quibble!"
Xu Lian sat down a little depressedly, and he was not stupid either. He knew that if he continued to talk, he would have a disadvantage to himself. It was just that the inertia of his behavior that made him still refute.
