Chapter 128: Fame and Wealth of Men and Women

The atmosphere did become lively when the men had female companions.

This situation can hardly be considered a violation of the rules. First, it was all consensual, and there was no coercion. Second, they really didn't do anything, mainly talking and drinking. There were some small movements occasionally, which were quite secretive.

However, the rules are the lowest moral bottom line, and whether this is moral or not is a matter of opinion.

In short, this is a long-standing phenomenon, and it has even become a kind of unwritten rule. Even with great force, it is difficult to reverse.

Qi Xuansu didn't like this atmosphere, and didn't want to do anything to the women around him, so he had to chat with this senior sister for no reason.

But what can he talk about? The experiences of the two people determined that their ideas and thinking were very different. The only common topic may be the past experience of Wanxiang Dao Palace. It's just that this senior sister changed her name, obviously to make a cut with the past, so Qi Xuansu couldn't bring it up again.

In fact, there are still common topics, nothing more than the things between men and women. Or, this is the main topic. As for "Tianbao Year Five", it's all introduction and cover.

Qi Xuansu looked at the others, which can be said to be a variety of life.

Many men do not need a confidante, but the admiration of a beautiful woman. There are two key points. The first is beauty, which is the foundation of everything. Without this, there is no way to talk about the rest. The second point is admiration.

In their opinion, as long as the woman can understand what they are saying and express her approval with admiration at the critical moment, they can get considerable psychological satisfaction. In other words, in the eyes of these people, such a woman is a confidante who understands them.

This is not surprising. After all, the status of the Taoist partner at home is not inferior to theirs. The two are evenly matched. It is either the east wind that overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind that overwhelms the east wind. They are opponents in a sense. How can they act like a little girl? Most of them are impatient and disdainful to listen to their nonsense.

If you meet a woman who is too outstanding like Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, or Qiniang, you might be crushed, especially Qiniang, who is very decisive. Even Donghua Zhenren thinks that Qiniang is not easy to mess with. If it were an ordinary man, he would only listen obediently, and there would be no chance to show himself. You have to make up for it in other ways.

Qi Xuansu didn't have this mentality, because he always kept a low mentality. 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 overwhelmed by Zhang Yuelu. This situation is completely different from those who are excellent but want to find a good father-in-law to marry into the family.

When the two get along, Zhang Yuelu always praises him, always encouraging and affirming him, and rarely hitting him. To be honest, the satisfaction brought by the affirmation of one of the three beauties of Taoism is far better than the worship of ordinary women. Counting them, there are only two people in the world who have eaten the food made by Zhang Yuelu, one is the Heavenly Master, and the other is Qi Xuansu. Zhang Juqi, Tan Taiqiong, and Cihang Zhenren don't have such a blessing. Rounding off, Qi Xuansu was treated the same as the Heavenly Master. How could ordinary people compare to this sense of satisfaction?

However, Qi Xuansu's gentle attitude made Song Yu gradually regain his composure. He began to toast Qi Xuansu and smiled sweetly: "I have long admired the name of Deputy Hall Master Qi. Please take care of me in the future."

Qi Xuansu said a few ambiguous words to fool him.

No one would take what was said in such an occasion seriously.

The reason why Qi Xuansu was cautious was mainly because he did not want to be caught after the false accusation.

There was also a woman beside Li Changge, named Jiang Ye, who was the best looking among these women. She was probably a fairy in the eyes of many people. She could make many young men die for her. She was also from a middle-class family, but her family background was far inferior to that of the Li family behind Li Changge.

In fact, when they were seated, these people had put a lot of thought into it. They arranged the most beautiful Jiang Ye to be next to Li Changge, and arranged Song Yu, who was second only to Jiang Ye, to be next to Qi Xuansu. This undoubtedly acquiesced that Li and Qi were the protagonists and absolute core figures of the night. They also acquiesced that Li Changge was a head higher than Qi Xuansu. This was not determined by the rank and position of the two, but by the resources that the two could mobilize behind them.

This is the same as the so-called rules at the wine table. What are the rules? The only

rule is the hierarchy. If you meet someone like Qi Xuansu who is easy to talk to, you can replace wine with tea, and Qi Xuansu will not say anything. If you meet someone like Li Tianzhen who is not easy to talk to, even if you drink until you vomit blood, he will still be neither yin nor yang and you should kneel down. Rules are the preferences of the superiors, and there is no unified rule that is agreed upon.

Although the Taoist sect has been shouting about equality for so many years, the hierarchy is still everywhere. Hidden lines divide people into classes, invisible but clear.

Jiang Ye toasted Li Changge several times, and Li Changge did not refuse, but he was not very interested in this woman, just maintaining the upbringing and demeanor that a child of aristocratic 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, with red lips and attractive, and only responded when Li Changge spoke, quietly and not abruptly, not as strong and overbearing as Zhang Yuelu, nor as sickly and indifferent as Yao Pei, as if he was really a beautiful vase.

Jiang Ye was recommended to Li Changge, and he had his own outstanding qualities. As the saying goes, poetry and books are elegant, Jiang Ye has read a lot, and can even be said to be well-read, and has a bit of intellectuality and elegance.

The word "intellectual nature" comes from the mouth of Yasheng: "Those who understand their own minds will know their nature. If they know their nature, they will know the heaven." The Neo-Confucian sages and the Xinxue sages also have similar sayings. If a woman can get such an evaluation, she can be said to be the perfect candidate for the ideal red sleeves to add fragrance and bare hands to grind ink.

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 at a moment's notice. Even Qi Xuansu almost didn't care. Family and other matters were secondary, mainly because he already had Zhang Yuelu, and Zhang Yuelu was famous for being domineering and a leader in the eyes of many women. Few dared to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. , Qi Xuansu's value naturally shrank greatly.

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, 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."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Xuansu again.

Who doesn't know that you, Qi Xuansu, were born as an orphan and that you had a younger sister out of nowhere? I'm afraid it's either this "brother" or that "brother".

Qi Xuansu didn't expect Xiao Yin to 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, so he asked you to come over."

Qi Xuansu knew it was a lie as soon as he heard it, but instead of exposing it, he stood up and said, "I'll be there right away."

Everyone here, except Li Changge, no one can go to Master Qingwei for verification. As for Li Changge, he shouldn't 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 didn't want it and kept sending Qi Xuansu out.

Qi Xuansu originally thought that Cheng Lixue wanted to ask him for something, 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 he would also encounter such a thing.

kind of thing. Not to mention that power and status are a good thing. People will take the initiative to bring things that others want and want.

Song Yu's biggest advantage is not her appearance, but her status as a senior sister, which allows many men to make up for their lack of power when they were young.

Qi Xuansu had no such idea, and he didn't 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'm used to being poor and don't have this kind of spare money."

Cheng Lixue said: "That's a big deal. Why should you, the dignified deputy leader, 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 her face and hummed, "Hello, Senior Sister, Miao, Senior Sister, 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 slanting 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. Win the world and lose, 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?"
