Chapter 87 Cultural background
Groups of plain-clothed servants held gauze lotus lanterns and placed them in the lotus pond in the center of the banquet venue.
The sparkling light contrasts with the dim lights, rendering the twilight dreamlike.
The dreamlike scene seemed to make the second generation of wealthy families in Chen County temporarily forget about the suffering beyond the high walls.
The atmosphere of their conversation became more and more lively.
There is a saying "Brother Li is a great talent".
Here is a sentence: "Brother Wang is righteous".
All of them are not very old, but when it comes to the skill of carrying the colorful flowers in this sedan chair, they are all good hands.
Chen Sheng huddled in an inconspicuous corner, flipping the wine bottle on the low table in front of him with one hand, looking at these young people with luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament expressionlessly, but the skinny and rugged figures kept flashing through his mind.
A lifeless and miserable face.
This feeling of separation, as if his body and mind were not in the same world, made him wonder why he was here?
"clang……"
Suddenly, a clear bell sounded throughout the lotus pond.
The second generation people who were chatting in the venue closed their mouths in response.
The second-generation people sitting around stood up in response.
They all looked towards the entrance of the lotus pond.
I saw an eight-foot-tall, broad-shouldered middle-aged man wearing a dark coat with a black background and red edges, a jade belt at the waist and hips, and black satin jade shoes with white soles and turned-up shoes. Behind a red-armored and white-faced boy
With his support, he walked slowly into the lotus pond holding the jade belt with one hand.
When many second-generation people saw the visitor, they all clasped their hands and bowed down: "We pay our respects to Mr. Chang Shi."
Chen Sheng was mixed in the crowd, and as soon as he saw the general appearance of the person coming, he had to follow him and bowed his hands.
"Everyone, please get up."
The visitor spoke softly, his voice as warm and gentle as a hot spring flowing through a clean pebbled stream bottom, which made one feel as if he were bathed in the spring breeze.
"Thank you, Lord Changshi!"
Many second-generation people stood up and stood with their arms hanging down. They looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses. They were completely silent. They no longer had the same wild and unrestrained attitude as before.
Chen Sheng raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the person who came, but when he saw the person moving his eyes to look at them with a smile that was not a smile, he had to lower his eyelids and stood silently like the others.
"Why do you refuse to govern thousands of miles away?"
The visitor smiled unhurriedly and said: "Brother Qi, I remember that the last time I saw you, you were so tall and you forced me to go to the Taihao Temple Fair. If you didn't obey, you cried."
If we keep having trouble, why are we no longer close to our brothers when we grow up?"
Chen Sheng raised his eyelids again and saw that the person coming was smiling and holding one hand directly in front of him at the height of his belly button.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Li Qi, the eldest son of the Li family standing at the front of the second generation, laughing and saying: "Master Chang Shi assists the prefect to take charge of the agricultural affairs of a state. Qi Yi is a country man, how dare he do it again?"
Lift?"
With the laughter of these two people, like spring breeze turning into rain, they inadvertently dissolved the stagnant atmosphere in the field. The lowered heads of the second generation of Chen County slowly raised their heads.
Lu... Zheng was, after all, the son of Zhou Mu, the legitimate son of a high-ranking family in the Zhou royal family after the Qi Lu family!
With only one family background, he has already surpassed many of the aristocratic families in Chen County!
"Hey, there are no commoners tonight. The difference between the dandy and the dandy is only the order of elder, younger, taller and shorter!"
Lu Zheng waved his sleeves and shouted softly, feigning anger: "If you guys want to pretend to be weak in front of me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When the second generation of Chen County heard him describe themselves as an idle "dandy", they all chuckled, and the stagnant and solemn atmosphere in the venue immediately disappeared.
When Lu Zheng saw this, he clapped his hands with satisfaction and laughed: "This is just right... I have a guest, who plays the harp and the sheng. Playing the sheng, drums, and reeds, the general carries the basket. If you are kind to me, it shows me how to behave!"
In an instant, the clear and solemn sound of the chimes sounded, and groups of servants entered the banquet venue with fine steps and quick but unhurried steps, holding fine wine and delicacies in their hands.
All the second-generation Chen County officials sat down one after another and cheered in unison: "I have a guest with a distinguished voice, Kong Zhao. He treats the people with disdain, and a gentleman will act accordingly. I have a wine order, and the guest style is Yan Yiao..."
Lu Zheng slowly bent his knees with a smile on his face. Before his hips reached his waist, a servant stepped forward and knelt in front of him, slumping down.
He held the three-legged bottle high and shouted cheerfully: "Taste it!"
All the second-generation Chen County officials held their three-legged bottles high and shouted in unison: "Respect!"
Chen Sheng was mixed in with the crowd, drinking one drink at a time.
He tried to calm down and carefully observed this Lu... Zheng.
But although they were only two or three feet apart, he and Lu Zheng seemed to be separated by ten miles and eighty miles.
Sometimes he looked like Li Xuejian's version of ferocity, sometimes he looked like Lin Feng's version of unruly, and from time to time he looked like Jiang Wen's version full of golden sentences...
He was mentally prepared and thought he could observe this person with a normal mind.
However, only then did he realize that what he thought was just that...
If people's achievements also have light.
Then in front of this person, the lights of merit behind the heads of gods and Buddhas are just large light bulbs.
And this kind of light is the light that has penetrated the depths of the soul of every descendant of China bit by bit in the long river of time and passed down from generation to generation.
Even if the Lu Zheng in front of him is not the emperor whose name will be passed down through the ages!
But meeting each other two or three feet apart, Chen Sheng still felt as if he was an ant facing a giant!
After all, no matter how high he thinks of himself, he is just a businessman who has won two or three taels of gold. How can he block the light of greatness that has penetrated through the ages?
He couldn't even think of struggling, so he chose to lie down obediently... He never thought of calling himself a loner. If this person were to replace Zhou and become the king's pioneer, he would be the king's pioneer.
In fact, he had seriously thought about this issue as early as when he discovered that the world in front of him was the late Qin Dynasty after historical chaos.
The final conclusion was that there were two people in this era that he couldn't get around, and he couldn't get around them either.
One is Ying Zheng.
One is Liu Bang.
One is the one emperor who completed the unification of China, with the same writing and the same track, and established the foundation of China for eternity.
One was the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty who led the formation of the Han nation and established the Yan-Huang orthodoxy in China.
These two positions for him, or for every Chinese son and daughter, are not just as simple as a certain emperor in history.
They are still ancestors!
They are still kings and fathers!
They traveled through thousands of years and left a strong mark on the souls of every Chinese people, thus forming the cultural background of the entire Chinese people.
Of course, it is not only them who have left a deep impression on the souls of the Chinese people, but also the great revolutionary martyrs who created New China, the Hongwu Emperor who restored the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty, the furious Prince Yue, and other great Chinese figures.
.
But who told him to come to this era and bump into these two people?
He could not raise his sword against these two men.
Just like people cannot betray their own motherland... Those who can betray are beasts and not human beings!
Except for these two, he can compete with anyone!
Even Xiang Yu, the greatest war god of all time!
He only has a sense of admiration and reverence.
