Chapter 171 The mountain has no edges, the heaven and the earth are in harmony, so I dare to fight against you!
Hear the words.
Wei Bao's expression changed.
He secretly thought something was wrong when he heard Qin Luoheng mention the Wei Kingdom, but he never thought that Qin Luoheng would be so insidious, forcibly dragging his identity into the Qin people.
Qin people?
Of course he is not.
He is from Wei, the son of Wei State!
He didn't want to be an inferior Qin man.
If he had not been the prince of the Wei Kingdom, he would not have been able to reach this high platform. Everyone present knew this, but no one pointed it out, and no one wanted to admit it.
Now being questioned by Qin Luoheng face to face, Wei Bao's face immediately darkened.
He dare not deny it.
Otherwise, if the title "Remnant of the Six Kingdoms" is used, it will really kill people.
A naive smile appeared on Wei Bao's face: "Qin Shizi is joking, I am not a Qin person, who else can I be? Qin Shihuang swept away Liuhe, and everyone in the world is now a Qin person. Naturally, I am also a Qin person."
The nobles of other six countries also agreed.
They didn't want to say too much about it, lest they get burned.
The official's son didn't want to talk much about this topic, let alone express his position easily. At this time, Chang He stood up and smoothed things over and said: "Why should you make such a trivial matter so tense? All the people in the world are Qin people, what's the point of asking?
"
"Everyone is almost here."
"On the last day of the lunar month, how can we miss drinking from a cup of meandering water? And although this high platform of the Orchid Pond is several feet away from the ground, it is a pavilion with flowing water. How about we wait for a cup of flowing water?"
Finished.
Chang He waved his hand towards the back.
Immediately, a chef brought the food for the party.
The wine cup is a kind of double-eared wine cup. It is named because its shape is like a bird. Its materials are various. Others use mostly wood, but they use mostly pottery and jade, so it needs to be placed on a lotus leaf.
Only by doing so can you 'walk' smoothly on the water.
Hear the words.
Everyone responded one after another.
Yu Gusui Bo is a traditional game for men and women to get together during the Shangsi Festival. Everyone drinks a cup together without any distinction between men and women, just to heat up the atmosphere.
Because Qin Luoheng spoke earlier, the atmosphere around him was a little stagnant. It was indeed necessary to warm up the atmosphere again. Everyone readily agreed. At this time, no one was going to provoke Qin Luoheng anymore. No one knew what Qin Luoheng would say again or if he would throw it out again.
They may not be able to handle any strange questions.
Qin Luoheng is a scholar.
If something goes wrong, it won't have any impact, but they are different. They are the children of officials and have a bright future. It would be unwise to talk about it here.
Everyone kept a certain distance from Qin Luoheng.
They looked at Qin Luoheng with a bit of contempt and disdain. In their eyes, Qin Luoheng was an arrogant and unmeasured person. He relied on good luck to save Tongwuhou, but ended up talking nonsense here.
, completely devoid of any awe.
They are ashamed to be together!
See the situation.
Chang He glanced at Qin Luoheng, with a mocking look in his eyes.
Wei Bao also showed joy on his face and said secretly: "This guy is an arrogant person. If he had not saved Tongwuhou, he would not be qualified to appear here. I was provoked by my few words before, and his true colors were immediately exposed. Now he is
Being ostracized by others is really your own fault."
"Now Mr. Bo should see clearly the true face of this man, right?"
"Fight with me? Are you worthy?"
Qin Luoheng ignored the strange looks from everyone.
He is happy to do so.
The Flowing Water Pavilion on the high platform of Orchid Pond was built on a winding annular water channel. Everyone present was sitting by the channel one after another, while some officials went upstream and put the empty wine glasses into the water.
The flat wine glass was like a swaying boat, slowly drifting towards the crowd with the help of the flowing water.
...
not far away.
The pavilion where Shen Shun was sitting.
There was also a clanking sound of copper chimes.
Suddenly the sound of the bronze chime stopped abruptly, and the wine glass stopped right in front of Shen Shun.
Shen Shun chuckled lightly, picked up the wine glass from the water, poured light yellow millet wine, glanced at Mao Ping, who was sitting not far across the ditch, and saluted:
"I am not very talented, so I would like to pay tribute to Mao's lady with this wine and this poem!"
"The beautiful day belongs to the Yuan Dynasty, the fragrance of the year is here, the flowers are already on the trees, and the branches are covered with flowing water."
Finished.
Under the praising eyes of everyone, he drank the wine in one gulp. After finishing the drink, Shen Shun looked at Mao Ping with hot eyes, expecting her reaction.
Mao Ping took the wine glass and did not respond. She just looked away.
Waiting for this person's statement.
Everyone frowned and followed Mao Ping's gaze, only to see Mao Ping looking at a young man. Although this man was wearing brocade clothes, they were not new clothes. At this moment, everyone was paying attention, and the young man's face was also red.
He clenched his fists, feeling very sad and angry.
He naturally knew what Mao Ping meant, and she wanted him to speak out to dissuade her, but because of his status, he did not dare to speak out, and he felt extremely aggrieved.
He is Wu Rui.
He is the eleventh descendant of Fu Chai.
After Fu Chai's grandson Yu fled to Chu, the achievements of the Wu family were unknown for seven generations until the eighth generation Wu Shen became Sima, King Kaolie of Chu. However, the good times did not last long. Qin destroyed Chu and the Wu family once again regained their status He was in trouble and was captured in Xianyang.
The same goes for Mao Ping.
He and Mao Ping were childhood sweethearts. If Qin had not destroyed Chu, they would have had the same status. However, after Qin destroyed Chu, Mao Ping's family background was not greatly affected, but he was directly brought back from being a son of an official to become the head of Guizhou.
There is already a huge difference in status between the two.
He actually didn't want to come to the Shangsi Festival. Mao Ping forced him to come. Mao Ping told him many times that he didn't understand Mao Ping's intentions.
but......
It’s not that I can’t, but that I don’t want to.
Although he has the name of a prince, he is not a prince. Mao Ping comes from a wealthy family in the land of Wuyue. She is a talented woman of the generation. If she marries herself, she is destined to suffer a lot of hardships and will be left out in the clan. And he is in Xianyang There is still no place to stand.
He didn't want Mao Ping to suffer with him.
I don’t even want to let the beauty down.
So after arriving at the shore, he remained silent.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, Shen Shun showed a hint of displeasure in his eyes, but his face didn't show too much. He sneered and said, "Lady, you don't seem to understand me?"
"I am not very talented, Shen Shun, but I have a certain relationship with the doctor from the Doctor's Academy. Now I am the Shizi of Da Qin. When I graduate from the academy, I will be able to work as a local official. Under the care of Dr. Chaozhong, I think it will not take long to make a difference. .”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Now, lady, are you willing to have a beautiful marriage with me?"
Shen Shun had a smile on his face, showing his graceful demeanor.
Wen Zhao smiled and said:
"Brother Shen, you love ladies. It's true that ladies are attracted to you, but ladies are thin-skinned and don't want to admit it shyly."
"You are a beautiful man and a talented woman. You are a match made in heaven."
"Who among you here disagrees?"
"Ha ha!"
There was a sudden echo from all around.
"What Brother Wen said is true."
"Brother Shen and Lady Mao are a beautiful and talented couple. They are a perfect match."
"I also think it's a match made in heaven."
"Excellent!"
"..."
Mao Ping didn't respond to the echoes around her, but looked at Wu Rui eagerly. Wu Rui raised his head, his eyes full of pain and struggle.
He opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything.
There was a trace of annoyance in Mao Ping's eyes. She picked up the wine glass and started washing it directly in the water beside her. She washed it several times in a row. The disgust in her eyes was self-evident. Aimed at Wu Rui.
Mao Ping said seriously:
"This wine is dedicated to Mr. Wu!"
"There are birds in the southern mountains, and there are Luo in the northern mountains. I miss the young master, but why am I so far away?"
"In the morning, the trees are planted with camphors, and in the evening they are their heroes. The unkind will die first, but the kind will taste a hundred times."
"There is a worm flying in the west, fluttering its feathers. Once it returns to the west, it doesn't know where it is."
"..."
Finished.
Mao Ping drank the millet wine in one gulp, and her face suddenly turned red.
This is a confession poem.
The yearning for a woman chasing a man is clearly evident.
When he saw Mao Ping washing his wine glass earlier, he secretly thought something was wrong. Now when he heard Mao Ping reciting poems, his face turned red and he felt angry and angry.
Wu Rui stood up.
He picked up the wine glass from the water and did not dare to return the favor for a long time.
a long time.
Then he sighed and said:
"I know Lady Mao's thoughts, but my family has fallen into decline. Now I am living in Xianyang, and I don't know when I will be able to stand out. I... think I am not worthy of a lady, and I really don't dare to accept a lady's love. I don't want to Let the lady accompany me to endure hardships."
"I......"
Wu Rui held the wine glass so hard that it almost deformed.
He wanted to refuse.
But I couldn't say anything.
He is not a timid person, nor is he a person without opinions, but when facing Mao Ping, he really can't muster the courage, and he doesn't even have the courage to face her directly.
Mao Ping said:
"Wu Jun is not a shy person. He has always been bold and courageous. Why do you become so timid when facing me? I accompanied you from Poyang to Xianyang, but you still don't understand what I mean?"
"The Wu family is indeed in decline, but I believe in Wu Jun's ability."
"And I never ask for glory."
"Shang Xie! I want to know you. I have a long life that will never fade. Mountains have no edges. Rivers are exhausted. Winter thunder shakes. Summer rains and snows. Heaven and earth are harmonious. I dare to be with you!"
Hear the words.
Wu Rui's face was full of indignation.
He had never felt so incompetent at that moment. Facing the woman he loved, he not only did not dare to make a promise, he even did not dare to respond directly.
He is not such a person.
Never!
He squeezed the wine glass in his hand hard and drank the millet wine in one gulp.
Hongyan said:
"It will definitely live up to my love!"
"I, Wu Rui, swear to God that I will live up to Lady Mao in this life."
"The bond between life and death is broad, tell it to your son, hold your hand, and grow old together with you."
Mao Ping's eyes turned red.
He had waited too long for Wu Rui to say this.
Now I got what I wanted.
The tears immediately flowed down uncontrollably.
Wu Rui crossed the ditch directly and went to Mao Ping. He stretched out his hand and wanted to take Mao Ping into his arms, but he was afraid of disturbing the beauty, so he was timid and dared not move.
at last.
Still took the initiative to approach Mao Ping.
Said softly:
"I will definitely live up to you in this life."
Seeing the intimate gesture between the two of them, Wen Zhao opened his mouth and sat down quietly.
Shen Shun felt his cheeks burning.
He showed kindness to Mao Ping before, but Mao Ping was indifferent and instead showed great courtesy to a nobleman who had declined long ago. How could he swallow this bad breath?
Shen Shun scolded: "This stinky maid has obviously had an affair with someone for a long time, and she is still playing tricks on me here. It is really abominable and hateful."
"What a shame!"
"What a shame and shame!!!"

Wu Rui should be 25 at this time in history, but the plot requires it.
