I have to admit that Mi Heng is indeed quite capable of being an elegant person.
He played "Yu Yang San Lao" with his hand, and the syllables were wonderful, and there was the sound of gold and stone in the abyss. All the guests present shed tears when they heard it.
It's just that he is shirtless and naked, which is a bit immoral.
Tao Shang smiled and watched Mi Heng finish playing the drum and playing the harp naked there, and then said slowly: "In front of the public, your father is naked and his back seems inappropriate. This behavior is too ugly. Do you have any quality?"
Can you say that?"
Mi Heng is just drawing a line at this moment, waiting for the potter to accuse him!
He saw that he had no shame, threw the two drumsticks directly to the ground, and strode towards the pottery merchant.
The pottery merchant looked at him calmly and showed no signs of panic.
And the old man Ni who was sitting at the table beside him also stepped out with his head held high and stood in front of the potter with his shirtless son.
The two men raised their heads together and looked arrogant, as if they were looking at the pottery through their nostrils.
The potter wished he could take the oranges on the wine table and block those four nostrils.
Prince Taiping didn't panic, just looked at the two men quietly and said, "Sir, why are you so rude?"
Mi Heng said angrily: "Isn't it rude? It's rude to use talents and not use them. I reveal my parents' form to show my innocent body and ears. How can I be rude?"
Your old man also chimed in: "Those who are rude are the masters!"
The pottery merchant picked up the wine cup, took a sip of wine, and said, "My name is Mr. Taiping, and I am a gentleman recognized by the world, but I don't know what is rude about me?"
Ni Heng said: "You don't know the wise and the foolish, you don't read poetry and books, you don't accept loyal advice, you don't understand the past and the present, and you don't tolerate the princes. This is a great disrespect! I am a famous person in the world. Not only do you make others look down on you, but you also make me beat the drum. This is
Just like Yang Zhongni, Zangcang ruined Mencius' ears! Which gentleman in the world would be so contemptuous of the talented?"
Your father also said: "How can Tai Tu deserve to be called a gentleman with his behavior like this? How can he be worthy of the title of Prince Taiping? How can he be qualified to occupy the honorable position of Tai Tu?"
During the banquet under the hall, Taishi Ci frowned and stood up to draw his sword with the intention of killing Mi Heng and his son, but Guo Jia motioned him to sit down with his eyes.
Tao Shang straightened his face, stood up and said, "As your father-in-law and his son said, Tao is filthy and unworthy of being a gentleman... Then are all your people clean?"
You old man said proudly: "Your family has respected itself from generation to generation, put morality first, and never overstepped the threshold of scholarly morality. Naturally, it is clean and tight!"
"Oh? Really?" The pottery merchant smiled instead of getting angry. He looked around and after taking a look at everyone in the field, he said slowly: "Swordsman and penman, today is the harvest festival. It is the sky.
On the day of the blessing, I will send someone to Fandu to present this happy event to the emperor! Therefore, on this day of great celebration, you must record everything that happens in the venue exactly as it is.
When you come down, there must be no omissions. After I send someone to present it to the emperor, I need to announce it to the world!"
When the swordsman and pen official heard what the potter said, he naturally did not dare to neglect: "No! Don't worry, Taifu, I will never miss a word about today's matter."
"Very good." The pottery merchant nodded with a smile.
Just as the pottery merchant finished speaking these two words, he saw a cry suddenly rang out from outside the foyer. The sound was so shrill that it made everyone's ears numb.
"You Zhengping! It's so hard for me to find you!"
Everyone in the venue turned to look, and saw a woman in simple clothes with a mournful face, holding a baby about one year old, rushed in from the main entrance of the hall, and knelt down with a "pop"
He fell down in front of Mi Heng and burst into tears.
"After that night in the state of Lu during the Xingping period, I became pregnant with your child. Why did you abandon me? You didn't even see the child's face! Didn't I tell you that I don't ask for any status, only your recognition?"
Are you satisfied just by having this child? But why don’t you even agree to this request!”
There was a sudden silence in the entire hall.
The eyes of all the noble families in Xu and Yang, as well as noble sons and ladies, were all focused on Mi Heng and the crying woman.
Even your old man's eyes widened in surprise.
Mi Heng's face turned pale, as if he had been beaten by a hammer, he stood there blankly, looking at the crying woman without knowing why, his mind went blank.
Who is this woman...?
The woman held the child in one hand and cried bitterly, and grabbed Mi Heng's exposed arm with the other hand, as if she was afraid that he would escape, and cried: "You Zhengping, I know that I am from a humble background and am not worthy of you! I can't even get in with you.
Your elegant door... But when I was in the State of Lu, I was able to spend those three months of good nights and beautiful days with you. I recognized you, and I gave you my innocent body, and I have no regrets."
Mi Heng's head was dripping with cold sweat, and the uneasiness and fear in his heart quickly grew.
The woman continued: "But what did you promise me? What did you promise me?... It's okay if you leave without saying goodbye, but this child is innocent, he is your biological son! Why did you abandon him so cruelly?
?Zhengping, I beg you, as long as you are willing to admit the child, I will immediately throw myself into the well and never stay in the world to delay your reputation as a scholar."
Mi Heng looked around blankly and found that people from all directions looked at him with contempt.
The faces of the Xuzhou aristocratic family, young masters, civil and military officials, all had sneers on their faces.
What kind of humanity is this!
Whoever scolds this and that every day, look at what he has done!
Just like animals.
Mi Heng's body began to tremble violently, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"You, let go! You bitch! You don't know you! Stop talking nonsense. Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death..."
After saying that, he saw that he was about to punch the woman as soon as he raised his hand.
"Be bold!"
The pottery merchant slammed the table and said coldly: "In full view of everyone, how dare you kill someone and silence them?"
Mi Heng was scolded by the pottery merchant and overreacted.
"I, I didn't! Tao, you, are you trying to trick me?"
The pottery merchant raised his eyebrows and said: "Mr. You, what did you say? Tao sent people to Qingzhou to pick up all your family members and your old father. He wanted your family to be reunited. But after Tao
Someone's investigation was conducted secretly. This woman is also your family member. I took her over to reunite your family. What's wrong with her? Why are you biting me now?...Haha, the family tradition is strict, celebrities and scholars are really elegant."
"You, you... you are talking nonsense! You are slandering! I, I want, I want!"
"Sir, shut up!"
Before he could finish his words, the old man said something serious and interrupted Mi Heng.
Mi Heng looked at you old man in horror, his eyes full of grievance: "Father, this is not what you think!"
The old man didn't look at him, but looked at the woman and said: "You woman, you said you fell in love with my son, but where and on what day did you do it? What's the basis for it?"
The woman immediately spoke: "Zhengping and I met in the State of Lu. It was the eleventh month of the first year of Xingping, and we spent three beautiful months together. During this period, I traveled with him to the State of Lu, Changyi, Changle, Linqu, and Zhengping.
He said goodbye to me in January of the second year of Xingping, saying that there were important family matters. I was pregnant at that time. He said that your family was too strict and he couldn't bring me into the family. But I had nothing else to ask for. I just asked him to take care of the child in the future.
When I return to your house, I will not bother him, and he agreed, but as soon as he left... there was no news from me... Wuwuwuwu, my poor child."
You old man blew his beard angrily and stared.
The time and place mentioned by the woman are exactly the same as the time and place reported in the letter Mi Heng sent home when he was traveling away from home.
After a while, I heard you old man continue: "What evidence do you have?"
"This sachet is the certificate. Your family's seal is embroidered on it."
Your father reached out and grabbed it, and when he looked at it, he was trembling all over, and he was so angry that he almost lost his breath.
The pottery merchant quickly exchanged glances with Guo Jia without being noticed.
The school affairs office has been established for many years, how can it be established in vain? These little things and information can be understood by the spies and spies who have been working outside all year round. Isn’t it easy to capture it?
"Whoa whoa!"
Suddenly a cry was heard, but it was Mi Heng's wife holding her child and rushing out from the family banquet in the back corridor where no one could see her. She ran out of the Tao family's house with tears in her eyes.
"Madam!" Mi Heng was about to chase after her anxiously: "Madam! It's not what you think! I was wronged!"
You Heng just wanted to chase you, but you were caught by the old man.
You old man didn't tolerate him at all. He raised his hand and used a loud big ear scraper, which made Mi Heng spin around three times.
"You traitor! The reputation of your family for generations will be ruined by you from now on!"
Looking for a woman outside is just a matter of words, and you can get by with just a little bit of effort.
But denying the child after giving birth is like a tiger or wolf abandoning a child. In this dynasty that is based on loyalty, filial piety and human ethics, it is enough to break the backbone of your family.
Especially today there are so many Xuzhou nobles, princes, literati, and family members present...
You old man can feel it, there is deep contempt in their eyes.
The pottery merchant slowly said to the knife and pen clerk: "We are celebrating the harvest festival today. Have you clearly remembered everything that happened?"
The knife and pen official said hurriedly: "I have written down everything I said in reply to Taifu."
"Very good, seal it immediately. I will send someone to deliver it to Your Majesty tomorrow."
"Your Majesty? Emperor?" Your old man trembled all over, and an indescribable fear spread in his chest.
It's enough to say that your family's scandal has fallen into the eyes of so many people... What if it is presented to the emperor again?
"Master, this, this is not allowed!"
The potter looked at you old man with a smile, stretched out his hand to take the slip delivered to him by the swordsman and penman, waved it in the air as if to show off, then turned around and walked into the back hall.
Whether it's okay or not depends on how you and your son perform next.
