When the men have female companions, the atmosphere does become more lively.
This situation can hardly be considered a violation of the rules. First, it is all voluntary, and there is no coercion. Second, there is indeed nothing done. The main thing is talking and drinking. Occasionally, there are some small actions, which are also quite secretive.
However, rules are the lowest moral bottom line. Whether this is moral or not is a matter of opinion.
All in all, this is a long-standing phenomenon, and has even become an unwritten rule. Although it is vigorous, it is difficult to reverse it.
Qi Xuansu didn't like this atmosphere, and didn't want to do anything to the women around him, so he had no choice but to chat with this senior sister.
But what can we talk about? The experiences of the two have determined their thoughts, and their thinking is very different. The only common topic may be the past experience in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. But this senior sister has changed her name, obviously to be different from the past
After making a cut, Qi Xuansu would not be able to mention it again.
In fact, there are still common topics, which are nothing more than matters between men and women. In other words, this is the main topic. As for "Tianbao Five Years", it is just a primer and a cover.
Qi Xuansu looked at the others, it can be said that there are various aspects of life.
What many men need is not a confidante, but the admiration of a beautiful woman. There are two key points. The first point is beauty, which is the basis of everything. Without these, the rest will be impossible to talk about. The second point is
It's worship.
In their view, as long as a woman can understand what they are saying and express her approval with admiration and admiration at critical moments, they can be quite satisfied psychologically. In other words, in the eyes of these people, such a woman
She is a confidante who understands herself.
This is not surprising. After all, the status of the Taoist monks in the family is not inferior to them. The two are evenly matched. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. They are rivals in a certain sense. How could they act like little daughters? Most likely.
I don't have the patience and disdain to listen to their nonsense.
If you meet an overly outstanding woman like Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei or Qiniang, you might be crushed, especially Qiniang. To be honest, even Donghua Zhenren feels that Qiniang is not easy to deal with. If she is replaced by an ordinary
Men, as long as they listen obediently, there is no chance to express themselves. So they have to make up for it in other ways.
Qi Xuansu did not have this kind of mentality, because he had always kept his mentality very low. When he was still penniless, Zhang Yuelu was already famous in the Taoist sect. In Qi Xuansu's view, it was very reasonable to be overtaken by Zhang Yuelu. This situation is consistent with
Those who are excellent themselves but want to find a good father-in-law to marry into are completely different.
When the two of them got along, Zhang Yuelu always supported him, always encouraged and affirmed him, and rarely criticized him. To be honest, the satisfaction brought by the affirmation of one of the three outstanding figures in the Taoist sect was far greater than that of ordinary people.
Through the admiration of women. To put it into detail, there are only two people in the world who have eaten the food cooked by Zhang Yuelu himself. One is Tianshi, and the other is Qi Xuansu, Zhang Kuqi, Tantai Qiong, and Cihang. None of them have such a good taste.
Rounding things off, Qi Xuansu received the same treatment as Tianshi. Can ordinary people compare to this sense of satisfaction?
However, Qi Xuansu's gentle attitude allowed Song Yu to gradually regain his composure, and he began to toast Qi Xuansu with a beautiful smile: "I have admired the name of Deputy Hall Master Qi for a long time, and I would like to ask Deputy Hall Master Qi to take good care of him in the future."
Qi Xuansu said a few ambiguous words to confuse the situation.
No one would take anything said seriously in this situation.
The main reason why Qi Xuansu was cautious was that after experiencing the false accusation, he did not want others to take advantage of him.
There is also a woman beside Li Changge, named Jiang Ye. She is the most beautiful among these women. She is probably a fairy in the eyes of many people. She can make many young men live and die for her. She is also from a middle-class family, but other
Compared with the Li family behind Li Changge, his family background is as high as heaven and earth.
In fact, when assigning seats, these people put a lot of thought into arranging the most beautiful Jiang Ye next to Li Changge, and arranged Song Yu, second only to Jiang Ye, next to Qi Xuansu. They undoubtedly acquiesced to Li Changge.
, Qi and Qi are the protagonists and absolute core figures tonight. It is also assumed that Li Changge is a head above Qi Xuansu. This does not depend on the rank and position of the two, but on the resources that can be mobilized behind the two.
This is the same as the so-called rules at the wine table. What are rules? The only rule is that of superiors and inferiors. When you meet someone like Qi Xuansu who is easy to talk to, even if you offer tea instead of wine, Qi Xuansu won't say anything. When you meet someone like Li Tianzhen who is hard to talk to,
Yes, even if you drink until you vomit blood, he is neither yin nor yang, so you should kneel down. The rules are the preferences of the superiors, and there are no unified rules at all.
Even though Taoists have been shouting about equality for so many years, superiority and inferiority are still everywhere. Hidden lines divide people into different classes, invisible but clear.
Jiang Ye offered several toasts to Li Changge, but Li Changge did not refuse, but he was not very interested in this woman. He just maintained the upbringing and demeanor that a son of a noble family should have.
Jiang Ye understood immediately, and no longer took the initiative to toast, but quietly accompanied Li Changge, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, sipping slowly, his lips were red and attractive, and he would only respond when Li Changge spoke, quietly and
Not obtrusive, not as strong and domineering as Zhang Yuelu, nor as morbid and indifferent as Yao Pei, as if she is really a beautiful girl.
vase.
Jiang Ye was recommended to Li Changge's side because of his own merits. As the saying goes, poetry and calligraphy are his own. Jiang Ye has read a lot, and he can even be said to have read a lot of poetry and books, and he is also somewhat intellectual and elegant.
The word "intellectual nature" comes from the mouth of Yasheng: "Those who understand their hearts know their nature, and if they know their nature, they know the heaven." The Neo-Confucian sage and the Xinxue sage also have similar sayings. Women can get such evaluation,
It can be said that it is an ideal candidate for adding fragrance to red sleeves and rubbing ink with bare hands.
Ordinary men would only be manipulated by her when they met her.
Of course, such a woman can stick to the bottom line better, and is even qualified to be aloof, but this persistence is so insignificant compared with the huge temptation that spans several classes.
In fact, everyone here, except for Li Changge and Qi Xuansu, is really not qualified to regard Jiang Ye as a canary that can come and go when called upon. Even Qi Xuansu almost doesn't mean it. Family and other things are secondary.
Mainly because he already has Zhang Yuelu, and Zhang Yuelu is famous for being domineering and a leader in the eyes of many women. Few dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, so Qi Xuansu's value has naturally been greatly reduced.
Men and women have always been prey to each other. No one should be objectified, and no one should feel noble.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu's opportunity to escape finally came. The door to the room suddenly opened, and it was not the waiter who came in, but a little head that poked his head in.
Xiao Yin.
She had the identity given by Master Qingwei, and she had become a familiar face in the camp during this period. It was not difficult to attend the dinner party, but she was allowed to sneak in.
The little girl glanced around, finally landing on Qi Xuansu, and then she leaned out. At this time, she no longer called "Xiao Qi", but timidly called "brother."
The eyes of everyone present were focused on Qi Xuansu again.
Who doesn’t know that you, Qi Xuansu, were born as an orphan, and how did you get a younger sister from nowhere? I’m afraid it’s either this “brother” or the other.
Qi Xuansu didn't expect that Xiao Yin would come to him at this time. His first reaction was that Xiao Yin stabbed Lou Zi and came to him to clean up the mess.
However, Qi Xuansu kept his face calm and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yin opened her mouth and came: "Sister Zhang asked me to come here to find you. It seems that the master in charge of the army has something to explain at the moment and asked you to come over."
Qi Xuansu knew it was fake as soon as he heard it, but he didn't expose it. Instead, he stood up and said, "I'll go over there right now."
Everyone here, except Li Changge, no one can go to Master Qingwei for verification. As for Li Changge, he should not be so boring.
Qi Xuansu said goodbye to everyone, especially Li Changge: "Brother Yongyan, take the first step."
Li Changge said to Cheng Lixue: "Send Brother Tianyuan off for us."
Cheng Lixue got what she wanted and kept sending Qi Xuansu out.
Qi Xuansu originally thought that Cheng Lixue had something to ask him, but she didn't expect that he was talking about another matter.
Cheng Lixue glanced at Xiao Yin and asked through a message: "Tian Yuan, what do you think of Junior Sister Song? Do you want me to help you ask her out some other time to rekindle our old friendship?"
Of course Qi Xuansu understood what this meant, and had heard of such a thing a long time ago, but he didn't expect that such a thing would happen to him. Otherwise, power and status are a good thing. It is something that others dream about and dream of.
Someone took the initiative to deliver it to my door.
Song Yu's biggest advantage lies not in her appearance, but in her status as a senior sister, which allows many men to make up for their regrets of being powerless when they were young.
Qi Xuansu had no such idea, and did not want to appear too different, so he declined with an excuse: "A beautiful lady has a date, which must cost a lot of money. I am used to being poor and don't have such spare money."
Cheng Lixue said: "That's a big deal. Why do you, the dignified deputy hall master, have to worry about such things? I will arrange it myself. As long as you are willing to go, it will be a great honor."
Qi Xuansu held down his hand and said half-jokingly: "Senior Brother Cheng, you insist on forcing me to speak clearly. You want me to die. You don't know the temperament of Deputy Hall Master Zhang, right?"
Cheng Lixue said: "Just don't let Deputy Hall Master Zhang know. Deputy Hall Master Zhang is so busy, he can't keep an eye on you every day."
Qi Xuansu still refused and said: "I really don't have the thought or time. I appreciate Senior Brother Cheng's kindness."
Seeing Qi Xuansu's firm tone, Cheng Lixue stopped insisting, said a few more polite words, and turned around to go back.
After Cheng Lixue left, Xiao Yin came to Qi Xuansu with a strange expression on his face and hummed: "Senior Sister, hello, Senior Sister, Miao, I'll tell Deputy Hall Master Zhang to go."
Cheng Lixue never expected that Xiao Yin's cultivation level was extremely high, so Xiao Yin heard everything he said clearly.
Qi Xuansu was not afraid at all: "I am upright and not afraid of slanted shadows, whatever you say."
Xiao Yin said: "Don't be so harsh. It's written like this in the storybook. The protagonist likes his senior sister, but the senior sister likes another senior brother. After many years, the protagonist has become a hero respected by everyone in the world, but he still can't forget his senior sister.
If you win in Jianghu, you will lose to senior sister."
Qi Xuansu said: "There is also a story in which the protagonist does not like the senior sister, but becomes the personal bodyguard of the female boss. Have you read it?"
