Chapter 60 This bitch heard it
Ximending's words were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves: "Nonsense!", "Absurd!", "Shameless!"... It's endless.
Ximending naturally expected that everyone would have such a reaction, and still said seriously: "According to a historical record that I have read, Li Bai was writing this poem that day, and there was a famous brothel prostitute named Mingyue in Yangzhou City at that time, and there was a famous brothel prostitute named Mingyue, cough cough..." As he said that, Ximending looked at Liu Ruru who was looking at him coldly, "Miss Mingyue was famous at that time, but she was afraid she was even more famous than Miss Liu. Li Bai was unruly by nature and was unruly and played in the dust, so he left. Although Mingyue was a brothel woman, she was also well-read and read poetry and liked to recite poems and essays. When he learned that he was the great poet Li Bai, he naturally had a compliment... This poem was written by Li Bai for himself and for Miss Mingyue under such circumstances."
"It's all nonsense, so shameless." Liu Ruru could no longer listen.
"Miss Liu doesn't have to be excited. I have an explanation if it's nonsense." At this time, everyone was still noisy. Ximending stopped, took a sip of tea, looked pedantic, and raised his voice seriously: "If this poem is what we have always understood, at least there are three doubts: First, you can't see the moon when you look up indoors, and even if the bed is placed tightly on the window, you can't; second, from the 'probability is frost on the ground', it can be seen that the scene in which the poet was in was already deep at that time. In autumn, the moonlight must shine through the windows in front of the bed like white frost, and the windows must be wide open, which is unreasonable in late autumn. Third, even if the windows were wide open at that time, they must be opened and closed on both sides like doors. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, the windows at that time had a shaft at the top, and when they opened, they were stretched out from the bottom with wooden sticks. In this way, the windows naturally could not be wide open, so how could white frost fall into the house? Based on these three doubts, I think the statement in that historical book should be correct."
Ximending occasionally read articles about modern historians discussing Li Bai's poem that has been passed down through the ages, so he copied it. He also understood in his heart that the bed in the poem may not necessarily refer to the bed, some say "window", some say "well railing", some say "well railing". I think no one has done such in-depth research in the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, in order to get rid of the embarrassment, I have a gamble.
Obviously, when Ximending was gambling right, many people calmed down and thought about the three suspicious points that Ximending said, which seemed to be true.
When Lu Quan heard what Ximending said seriously and analyzed it in an orderly manner, he was no longer so angry. He couldn't help but ask, "As you say so, what does this poem mean?"
At this time, everyone, including Liu Ruru, also looked at Ximending with an inquiring expression. Seeing that she was confused, Ximending was secretly proud.
After looking at Lu Quan, he shook his head and said, "This poem is a bit indecent, so I won't say it anymore."
This statement has even aroused the appetite of others. Thinking about the things deeply rooted in the mind, they were overthrown or even subverted (How come homesickness works become works of seeking flowers and asking about willows?), anyone else would have to ask what was going on.
Men care about too many things, for fear of being underestimated, especially when facing beautiful women.
Ximending has experienced too much in his two lives. He has been out of many things and has long been absent from many things. He feels that it is really redundant and might as well mock it.
"Then I'll say, don't scold me for being nonsense or talking nonsense." Ximending pretended to be helpless, and said with a serious look on his face: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I looked up at the bright moon and looked down to think of my hometown. This is what it means. The bright moon girl stood in front of the bed and took off her clothes. Her skin was as white as the frost on the ground. I looked up at the bright moon girl, but I was full of thoughts, and I couldn't help but lower my head to think of my wife in my hometown."
As soon as Ximending finished speaking, he didn't look at other people's expressions and kept drinking tea.
If it was in Qinhuai Garden, Ximending's explanation would probably be widely circulated by everyone, but on such an occasion, they naturally had many concerns, and they all looked at each other, dared not make judgments, or even dared not make noises. Only Zi Shumin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After hearing this, Lu Quan recalled it for a moment and immediately understood why Ximending was so funny. It was comparing Miss Liu to Miss Mingyue, and he became a "normal man" in a foreign land. He was in a brothel and looked at Miss Liu, but he thought of his master who was far away in Wudang...
When Lu Quan thought of this, he couldn't help but grin, but he quickly held it back and looked at Liu Ruru, thinking: Miss Liu, I don't have a wife in my hometown. I just miss the master, don't think too much.
After hearing Ximending's serious explanation, Liu Ruru did not consider whether what he said was true. Instead, she felt that she was becoming more and more confused about Ximending. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ximending again: Looking at his performance today, is he also a person who is unruly and plays with the world? She pretends to be vulgar and tells some vulgar jokes, just to tease the world's love?
**Shenni didn't care about Ximending's absurd explanation, just a poem. She focused on Ximending's performance, which was good, very graceful and insightful.
The scene was in an awkward situation again, and **Shenni coughed lightly to remind Liu Ruru.
Liu Ruru was shocked and came to her senses. She thought about it slightly and decided not to say anything irrelevant and waste time, but to go straight to the point.
She sat upright on the chair, her expression was full of charm, no longer as before, but said solemnly: "Young masters, it's getting late, so we'll talk about the last topic..." As she said that, she paused, her eyes slowly swept across the faces of the three people in Ximending, and then said: "Although the Ming Dynasty is not in danger of national crisis, there are still civil strife, and foreign troubles are rampant. The border areas are even more disturbed by Man Qing every day. They occupy our country's territory and kill our compatriots. Although the little woman is a female, she often recalls the border soldiers when she wakes up.
Fighting and defending the country is really admirable. I only regret that the little girl was born as a daughter and could not go to fight to kill the enemy. But as the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can we be confused and obsessed with the country's survival and demise? Although we cannot go to fight to fight to fight to serve the country, if we can give some good strategies that will be beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, we will do our best to do our best. This time, the little girl chose a son-in-law not to find a person with great martial arts or literary talent, but to find someone with ambitions who can help the country, the people, and solve their worries and problems."
Speaking of this, her passionate tone eased, "The little woman is just a brothel woman. She shouldn't have talked about state affairs, but Mr. Gu Yanwu, a student of the Imperial College, said it well. Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The little woman dared to talk about state affairs here..." As she said that, her eyes looked at Ximending intentionally or unintentionally and said, "I just want to hear what the young men, as seven-foot men, have their views and opinions on the current situation of the Ming Dynasty."
Ximending came from modern times and naturally knew that the Ming Dynasty would not last long. In less than two years, Li Zicheng would attack Beijing. The current emperor Zhu Youjian hanged Coal Mountain. Soon Wu Sangui was furious to be beautiful and led the Qing Dynasty into the pass. The Ming Dynasty was declared destruction, leaving only the remaining forces in the south, but they were soon destroyed by Wu Sangui.
He also thought about the rise and fall of the country, but he only considered that the wheel of history always moves forward and society always develops continuously. What can he do with a civilian? Can he still rewrite history? If you come, be content with it, and be content with what happens.
After hearing Liu Ruru's words, Ximending couldn't help but look at Liu Ruru, and he couldn't understand her in his heart: I can't tell that she, a brothel woman, has such a mind. Could it be that I underestimated her?
Ximending and Liu Ruru stared at each other's eyes, both trying to see each other's true face clearly. To outsiders, they seemed to be communicating with each other.
**Shen Niu saw it, he was very relieved; Yingting liked to see it, he was gritting his teeth, and he didn't know how many times he had scolded the "lewdie" in his heart.
Lin Daori just recited a poem that he thought was good, but it was not so popular among everyone. He felt a little disappointed. At this time, when Ximending and Liu Ruru gave each other "Autumn Spinach" in their eyes, they felt very uncomfortable. He decided to interrupt them. He immediately reached out and slapped the coffee table, with a look of worrying about the country and the people on his face and said, "Miss Liu, as a woman, has such patriotism, which really makes Lin admire him."
Liu Ruru was awakened by his slap, and couldn't help but blush. She looked at Lin Daoru and said, "Young Master Lin, don't say this. The little woman just doesn't want to be said to be 'The business girl doesn't know the hatred of the country'..." As she said that, she glanced at Ximending and then said, "I don't know what kind of insights Mr. Lin has."
Uh... I heard this girl, she has quite self-esteem. It seems that I underestimated her.
Ximending was stunned when he looked at Liu Ruru, then smiled faintly, turned to look at Lin Daoru.
