Salt-free enchanting

Chapter 92 Questions
How did the fifth son on the stage know that his family was worrying about his title?
At this time, he was completely immersed in the fun that Yi Zhan knew, and he looked at everyone with bright eyes, full of passion.

Unknowingly, everyone's questioning has ended.This questioning took a full hour and a half, and it was noon in the blink of an eye, and everyone was a little tired.

After giving a little salute, the fifth prince walked down slowly under everyone's attention. This time, envoys from several countries invited him to be the chief, but the fifth prince refused.After returning the salutes one by one, he calmly walked back to the corner where the Ji people were staying under the gaze of thousands of people.

After the fifth son came down, Ion went to the stage to announce that he would rest for an hour, and then the envoy of Yan State would come up with the question.

Yan Si and the two saw the fifth young master approaching, so they moved to the side, giving him his own seat.

Fifth Young Master knelt down, he was obviously still a little excited, his eyes were still bright.

Just as he turned his head to look at Sun Le, City Lord Ji who was sitting in front of him had already spoken, "Wu'er, you are very good this time!"

Ji Wu turned his head and replied lightly: "Father has won the prize!" His eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It was obvious that his father's appreciation made him very happy.

Looking at the radiant and handsome fifth son, Ji Chengzhu recalled some past events, and felt a little emotional in his heart.After looking at him for a while, he said after a while, "Are you hungry? Let's order something."

It seemed that City Lord Ji seldom showed paternal love in front of the fifth son. At this moment, his caring words were a bit awkward no matter how he heard them.Sun Le thinks so, and the fifth son thinks so even more.He lowered his head and replied, "No."

Responding, he picked up a piece of bean cake from the table and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly.

The surrounding clansmen all stared at Fifth Young Master, with expressions of wanting to get close to him.Fifth Young Master ate absent-mindedly. He felt everyone's gaze, so he simply lowered his head to avoid everyone's enthusiastic gaze.

From Sun Le's point of view, he could see that the back of Wu Gongzi's neck began to sweat again.She looked at the fifth young master quietly, and thought to herself: Even though the fifth young master has just shown his limelight just now, his people still don't like to socialize with others as always.

All the clansmen saw that the fifth young master was eating in silence with his head down, and after waiting for a while, they were bored.They turned around and whispered to each other.While whispering, they still looked at Fifth Young Master from time to time.

Fifth Young Master escaped from everyone's attention and let out a soft breath.He turned his head and looked at Sun Le with bright eyes. He had a lot to say to Sun Le, but when he opened his mouth, he felt that the eyes of the people around him were still on him, so he stopped and retracted. looked away.

The Fifth Young Master might indeed be hungry, so he took another piece of rice cake from the sink and stuffed it into his mouth.Made from rice and millet, this rice cake turns into powder when chewed.Yan Si on the side watched his movements with a smile, until the Fifth Young Master chewed a few times and was about to swallow, he suddenly winked at Ying Shisan beside him.

When he blinked, his expression was special.Sun Le couldn't help looking at Yan Si seriously.Sure enough, when Yan Si saw that the fifth son was about to swallow the big mouthful of rice cake, he suddenly called out: "Qi fifth brother, fourth brother congratulates you! It seems that I will call you Jizi from now on!"

When Yan Si said the word 'Ji Zi', he bit his voice hard!

Wu Gongzi had just swallowed a mouthful of the pastry, when he suddenly heard the name 'chicken', he immediately choked, and the pastry in his mouth sprayed out!
Immediately, the fifth young master stretched out his hands and tightly covered his mouth.His reaction was very quick, and he stretched out his hand very timely, so all of his sprays were sprayed into his palm, and he finally didn't lose his composure.Just like this, his face was flushed and he coughed repeatedly.

Yan Si was overjoyed when he saw this, patted his thigh and laughed.Infected by his laughter, there was a burst of light laughter around him.

Sun Le saw that the fifth son was coughing non-stop, so he quickly poured a cup of tea from the table and handed it to the fifth son's lips, feeding him and swallowing it slowly.After Fifth Young Master swallowed a glass of water, his flushed face finally eased a little.

Seeing this, Sun Le poured another cup of tea for him.After feeding, she reached out and took out a handkerchief from Fifth Young Master's arms, first used the handkerchief to help him wipe off the tea at the corners of his lips, and then Sun Le lowered his head and carefully wiped off the residue in his palms.

Ying Shisan quietly watched Sun Le's series of actions, shook his head again and again, and muttered to himself: "Obviously he is a talent of the state, but he is willing to be a servant."

Ying Shisan's muttering was very small, but he was very close to Sun Le, and Sun Le could hear it very clearly.

At that moment, the corners of Sun Le's mouth were bent upwards. She put away her handkerchief, lowered her eyebrows and sat back on her couch, but she was thinking in her heart: Even if Sun Le is a man, he wouldn't be offended just because of your casual words. Trust your life and future!
Wu Gongzi's spray immediately wiped out the tall image he had just erected, causing everyone around him to look at him with half-smiles.Fifth Young Master met everyone's gaze, and Jun's face became even redder.He glared at Yan Si angrily, and shouted in a low voice: "I'll settle accounts with you again when I have a chance!"

Yan Siwu smiled from the ground up. He raised his eyebrows when he heard the fifth son's words, and said repeatedly, "Hey, I really respect and respect you as a brother. Don't rely on me for thinking wildly, you kid."

Fifth Young Master let out a low hum from his nose, and threw Yan Si a big white eye.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the envoy of Yan State was about to present a question, and the Yan Diji family was also beckoning Yan Si to go.

Yansi and Yingshisanyi left, and the fifth son's place seemed empty.At the same time, everyone was also engrossed in looking at the stone platform, looking for opportunities to succeed, so no one paid attention to the fifth son.

The fifth son let out a sigh of relief, he leaned back slightly, glanced left and right, approached Sun Le and said quietly: "Sun Le, the name 'Ji Zi' is very unpleasant, what should I do?"

Seeing him approaching him so cautiously, Sun Le thought that he was about to say something important, how did he know that he actually said this?At that moment, she opened her eyes, and the corners of her mouth began to bend upward uncontrollably.

Seeing that he was about to laugh out loud if he was not careful, Sun Le quickly lowered his head, took a deep breath and replied: "I remember that the son's ancestor Zhou Gongdan had another surname as uncle, and the son can also follow his surname."

The fifth son was overjoyed when he heard the words. He looked at Sun Le with bright eyes, and said with a smile, "This surname is very good. Uncle? Very good!"

Sun Le secretly thought: Uncle Zi will certainly sound better than Ji Zi.

On the stone platform, the envoy of Yan has already stood up.This is a sage in his thirties, with a white face and a slight beard. He looked at the crowd, waited for a little silence in the hall, and said loudly: "When the Hongmeng is opened, people are born with the yin and yang of heaven and earth. I want to ask everyone here Dear friends, when a person is first born, is his nature inherently good? Is his nature inherently evil?"

As soon as the envoy Yan asked this question, there were whispers everywhere, and many people showed joy.The nineteenth son sitting in front even said softly: "How easy is this question?"

Most of the people present thought that this question was very easy. Suddenly, countless people straightened their backs and prepared to show what they knew.

Sun Le stared blankly at the envoy of Yan on the high platform, greatly surprised: the distinction between good and evil in human nature represents the completely different administrative methods of Legalism and Confucianism.I really didn't expect that I heard this question come out here!
Her heart was agitated.

At this time, there was a loud commotion, and Sun Le saw five or six sages standing up at the same time, ready to answer this question.

After the five or six glanced at each other, the elders slowly knelt down, leaving only the 20-year-old magi standing.Sun Le was at the back, and he could only see that this wise man was tall and tall.

The tall young sage crossed his hands and said loudly: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good."

The envoy of Yan said loudly: "Please make it clear."

The tall young sage opened his mouth, and after a while he said in a dull tone: "I think it should be good."

As soon as he said this, there was a burst of laughter in the hall.But the chuckle was not loud, everyone felt like this young wise man that this question was very simple.But if I really wanted to say why, I couldn't find a word after thinking about it for a long time.When everyone thinks about it this way, they don't think how unreasonable the young wise man's nonsense words are.

The envoy of Yan glanced at the young sage, raised his voice and asked, "Who else wants to answer?"

This time it was different from the five or six people who stood up at the same time just now. As soon as the envoy Yan asked this sentence, there was no sound from the hall for a long time.Everyone is thinking hard.

Sun Le looked at the fifth son, saw him staring ahead, muttering something in his mouth, she listened carefully, but it was some 'fire' instead. . . . . . 'It seems that he is still immersed in the theory of the five virtues that he just said.

Everyone in the Ji clan was also frowning and thinking hard. Everyone knew that now was a good time to show off.

Sun Le looked at everyone quietly. Although she knew she had something to say, she never thought of answering.

In a moment of silence, in the corner ahead, a member of the Ji clan from Zhaodi stood up.This is a young man of 23 or [-] years old, his facial features are only correct, his skin is slightly dark, his whole person is simple, he is not as rich and powerful as other young men.

Seeing him standing up, the third son and the others pricked up their ears and listened nervously.

I saw this young man crossed his arms and said loudly, "I think human nature is evil!"

Envoy Yan looked at him with piercing eyes and asked, "Did you say anything?"

"Of course."

The young man said loudly: "Human nature likes to scramble. Anyone who is good at scrambling and scheming will usually survive easily. People are born with ears, eyes, ears are for people to hear beautiful voices, beautiful music, eyes are for people Enjoying a beautiful appearance, that's why adultery reigns supreme and music is endless. That's why I think that human nature is evil!"

The envoy of Yan nodded slightly when he heard this, and when he saw him pause, he asked again: "Are you talking?"

The young man shook his head and knelt down slowly.

As the young man sat down, another noise came.Sun Le saw that among the Ji people, most of the jealous eyes that had gathered on the fifth son turned to the young man.

Sun Le knew that what the young man said was very reasonable.He opened up everyone's minds, as long as the people behind said something about the evil nature of human beings, most of them could only be supplements to what he said.Everyone is jealous of his limelight.

Sure enough, someone stood up again. This time, what that person said was that human nature is inherently evil, and the reason he said was the same as that of the young man from the Zhao Diji family.

Among them, the third son also stood up and answered once, but the content of his answer did not deviate from the routine that the young man said.

Until the end, regarding the good and evil of human nature, the words of the Ji family were the most eye-catching.

Envoy Yan's question came to an end amidst whispers.

It was already dinner time, when envoy Yan came down, Ion announced that he would rest for an hour and a half, and envoy Qi would come up with the questions after dinner.As soon as the sound of ions fell, bells and drums sounded everywhere, and a group of maids came with food boxes, amidst the sound of bells, drums and melodious chime bells.These maids, dressed in elegant clothes and full of fragrance, put the wine, vegetables and rice soup one by one before each table.

When serving meals, these maids would sometimes unintentionally go around to the fifth son's house.All the girls looked like water, throwing them at the fifth young master frequently.

And the one who prepares the meal for the fifth son has a beautiful face and a spring, her eyes are on the fifth son, she is almost stunned, intentionally or unintentionally, she leans towards the fifth son, the food box in her hand has been holding for a long time. I can't bear to put it on the table.

The expressions of the girls are naturally seen by everyone.The third son sneered, while Yan Si and the others sighed again and again.

As for the fifth son himself, he leaned back again and again to avoid the delicate body of the maid, and he kept leaning up until his whole body leaned against Sun Le's chair, squeezing her chair backwards. .

On his cold and handsome face, a few drops of sweat also ooze out, and that appearance is really a bit embarrassing.

All of a sudden, the laughter around seemed to grow louder.Amid these laughter, Yan Si stretched out his sleeve to cover half of his face, and sighed again and again: "Duh! Duh! Such a coward is really embarrassing to men of my generation!"

Of course Yan Si scolded the Fifth Young Master!
Fifth Young Master took the time to cast a few blank eyes at him, stretched out his right hand, and forcibly snatched the food box from the maid's hand, which she refused to put down for so long. He frowned and shouted: "Thank you for the food, please go back!"

The maid was startled, her face flushed red, she stretched out her sleeves to cover half of her face in embarrassment, bowed and stepped back.

As soon as the maid retreated, Yan Si was the first to let out a burst of laughter.This time, all the clansmen laughed together.Everyone laughed and thought to themselves: Qi Wu is so shy in front of women, how could he be the heir of the family?All of a sudden, everyone felt that the boredom in their hearts was gone, and when they looked at the fifth son, their eyes were much gentler.

Everyone chatted and laughed while eating, and from time to time said a few words about the question that the envoy of Yan just said. In a blink of an eye, an hour and a half passed, and it was the envoy of Qi's turn to ask the question.

The envoy of Qi is a young man in his early twenties, with a fair face and handsome features, but with a kind of arrogance, it seems that he is probably one of the sons of Marquis Qi.

Prince Qi strode up to the stone platform, he scanned the crowd with piercing eyes, and when the hall became quieter, he said loudly: "My problem with Qi is: people are born rich and poor, and the virtuous and talented follow each other accordingly." Huh?"

As soon as Prince Qi's voice fell, there was a burst of whispers.His question is very simple, and it should be the simplest of the three questions today. In general, he said that whether a person is born is destined to be rich or poor. smarter?
Sun Le looked at the arrogant Prince Qi, and thought quietly: Looking at the meaning of this Prince Qi, I am afraid that he thinks that a person with a noble status may have outstanding talent?How could such a pretentious and invincible person like him have the Mohist idea of ​​eliminating class and "respecting the virtuous" and "respecting talents"?

Amidst the whispers, the third young master stood up first. He crossed his hands at Prince Qi, and said respectfully: "Man is ordered by heaven, rich and poor are all determined by heaven. I think that talents and virtues are also bestowed by God's love." Yu lord."

Upon hearing this, Prince Qi smiled slightly and nodded to the third young master frequently.

This affirmed the third son's answer!

All of a sudden, there was a clamor of dissatisfaction in the hall, and Sun Le heard a voice from beside him, "This envoy is really ridiculous. Since he already has the answer in his heart, why bother to ask everyone?"

It is said that the third son was affirmed by Prince Qi, and he couldn't help being very proud. He was radiant, and after sweeping left and right triumphantly, he deliberately stopped at the faces of the fifth son and the Zhaodi tribe who had answered the previous question. After a while, he finally sat down slowly.

Sun Le looked at the third young master who was so complacent, his mouth slightly flattened, and he thought to himself: No wonder the saying goes: People's hearts can be seen with time.The third son usually seems to be a smart man with a city, but how could he know that he is a superficial person in the final analysis.

She also knew that the third son had been aggrieved for too long under the shadow of the fifth son's light, so at this moment he couldn't restrain his complacency.

The third young master had just sat down when a sage in sackcloth stood up.He stared closely at Prince Qi on the high platform, and said loudly: "Since the envoy of Qi already has the answer in his heart, why bother to ask me?"

The man's voice was so loud that it made the ceiling rustle.In addition, his words were also aggressive, and he asked questions without even crossing his hands to salute, Prince Qi's delicate face flushed red, and his eyes added a bit of sullenness.

The sage in sackcloth didn't seem to notice Prince Qi's dissatisfaction, and he said loudly: "Everyone is formed by the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Although they are born rich and noble, their knowledge and cultivation come from what they have learned. One can become a virtuous person if he is nurtured by a teacher. In the old Shang Dynasty, Fu said that he was only a slave, but he could assist Wu Ding to become a hero for a lifetime. Duh! The son’s words are already biased, and his beliefs are also biased. How can such a person be worthy of writing the question?"

When the magi sage said this, he sneered a few times, and sat down swaggeringly under the glaring gaze of the flushed Prince Qi.

Although he sat down, Prince Qi was standing on the stone platform panting heavily, his glaring eyes were full of murderous intent.The sage in sackcloth didn't seem to be afraid at all, he folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes slightly, while behind him, six or seven swordsmen in sackcloth drew out their long swords at the same time and slowly wiped the gleaming sword surface.All of a sudden, the hall became cold, and an invisible murderous aura filled it.

After glaring at the magi in sackcloth for a few times, Prince Qi finally let out a long breath and said loudly, "Do you guys have any more questions?"

At this time, everyone knew that even if they wanted to say it, they couldn't get rid of the framework mentioned by the two people in front of them.Looking at the atmosphere one by one, how dare they speak casually?

After a while of silence, Prince Qi asked again.It wasn't until he asked three times that Ion stood up.He crossed his hands at the crowd and said: "Three questions today are over, the sky is getting dark, you can go back."

After finishing speaking, he flicked his robe and walked to the back of the stone platform first.

As soon as Ion left, everyone stood up one after another and walked slowly towards the entrance of the main hall.

Sun Le stood up slowly, and at this moment, there were more than a dozen murderous eyes looking at the fifth young master.

It was getting late outside, with the last ray of light spreading to the west, and a layer of twilight pervaded the sky and the earth.Sun Le saw that the fifth young master started to walk out of the hall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and followed behind him.

Sun Le thought to himself: I don't know how the matter with Shuang Shu and Ah Fu is going?
