Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong walked into the pavilion, in addition to the chairman, there were four tables on the left and right, on the table were fruit and wine, and there were already six tables where people were seated, some old and some young, the oldest was estimated to be more than sixty, and the younger one was probably less than thirty. Some closed their eyes to recuperate, some looked at the scenery of the lake, and two whispered in their hands. And around it, there were eight beautiful young maids waiting in the pavilion.

Although it was late autumn and the autumn wind was quite cold, there were fireplaces around the pavilion, so it was not too cold. Although the small lake is not big, but the rockery by the lake, the gravel path, the weeping willows are green, move with the wind, the lake surface is sparkling and the water is shining, from time to time there are pieces of fallen leaves falling into the water, setting off a circle of ripples, the green trees and flowers on the opposite bank, the pavilions and pavilions, it is indeed a very good place.

Seeing that the family had brought Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong here, a maid took the two of them to the second seat on the left. And the two entered the pavilion, and the older people could still be silent, but there were two young people who paid special attention to the two, of course, their eyes were mainly focused on Li Yinghong. After all, beauty is always an attractive eye.

The two had just sat down, only to see that on the gravel path on the shore of the lake, Zhao Jia led the way in front, followed by a man and a woman, accompanied by several maids' families, and walked towards the pavilion. It's just that it's far away, and I can't see the face clearly. But no one can guess that this is Chun Yu father and daughter.

Although everyone in the pavilion also got up one after another, they were all self-respecting and did not go out, but the two young people who were paying attention to Li Yinghong just now were all wearing their necks and looking out of the pavilion. And the plateau is still calm, but Li Yinghong is looking forward to excitement.

Zhao Jia took a few steps first, walked into the pavilion first, and bowed his hand to everyone: "Zhao Jia greeted Mr. Chunyu's father and daughter, let you wait for a long time, please forgive me." ”

The others also bowed their hands and said, "There and there." There are also humanitarians: "Gongxiao, please invite Mr. Chunyu's father and daughter to come in." ”

At this time, Zhao Jia turned around and said, "Mr. Chunyu, Miss Chunyu, please." ”

The first to come was of course Chun Yubo, seeing that he was about forty-five or sixteen years old, quite tall, with a high crown on his head, a light gray robe, a white face and a long beard, and a bright eye, although he was close to old age, but his bearing was chic and his demeanor was flying, and he naturally brought out a mature man's temperament, and his eyes contained infinite wisdom and divine light, and he was a man of outstanding intelligence at a glance.

However, everyone's attention is obviously not on him, but on the beautiful daughter behind him.

Chun Yu Zhongxiu's age is by no means more than twenty years old, wearing a Xuanhuang Luo dress with wide sleeves and mopping the floor, a pink light gauze draped over her shoulders, tied with a silver jade belt around her waist, and hung with a glazed jade pendant.

The cloud-like hair is pulled into a high coiled dragon bun, a jasper phoenix hairpin is horizontally, the earrings are yellow jade, and the beautiful jade is as if it is a beautiful silhouette carved with the best jade, a pair of beautiful eyebrows seem to be bent but not bent, such as distant mountains and daisies, a pair of beautiful eyes seem to be smiling but not smiling, like autumn water gods, and flashing spirits. It not only reveals a noble and elegant temperament, but also makes people look forward to it between the eyes and the brilliance, which also makes people take it away.

Although the Luo skirt that mops the floor is wide enough to cover her whole body, it can't hide the beautiful and moving body, the beautiful snow-white pink neck, the knife-like fragrant shoulders, the slender and graceful figure, and the willow waist that Yingying holds are almost flawlessly combined. Sure enough, she is a beauty who is famous all over the world.

Although Li Yinghong is an excellent beauty, she is still slightly inferior to Zhong Xiu in terms of appearance, and she is two or three years younger, and there is indeed a considerable distance in terms of mature temperament. Of course, if in another two years, when Li Yinghong grows up and matures, even if he can't surpass Chunyu Zhongxiu, it won't be much different.

The two young scribes had already been dumbfounded, and their eyes were staring directly at Chun Yu Zhongxiu, almost as if they were in a daze. Although the older ones were a little better, they all sat upright unconsciously, sending out a dignified appearance.

However, Chun Yubo is obviously used to this kind of scene, so he bowed his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Because the little girl has delayed a lot of time in dressing up, she is a step late, and everyone has been waiting for a long time, which is really the fault of our father and daughter." Zhong Xiu, don't hurry up to give a salute to all gentlemen. ”

Chun Yu Zhong Xiu also stepped forward, lightly opened his lips, bent his knees, and said, "Let you wait for a long time, Zhong Xiu is here to accompany you." "The sound is gentle and crisp, and it is very pleasant to the ear.

When the others heard this, they hurriedly returned the salute, and a young man was in a hurry, and he knocked off the wine glass, and he was immediately embarrassed and embarrassed, but fortunately, Zhao Jia said: "Mr. and Miss Chunyu are too polite, please sit down at the table." With a word, I finally resolved this embarrassment.

Chun Yu's father and daughter were arranged to the first seat on the right, just next to the plateau and Li Yinghong's seat, and when passing by, Li Yinghong and Chun Yu Zhongxiu glanced at each other, obviously paying attention to each other.

After everyone sat down again, Chun Yu Bocai smiled and said: "On the public seat, it is naturally full of scholars, but I am shallow and don't know these celebrities, so I ask the public to introduce me to one or two." ”

Zhao Jia hurriedly introduced the invited people to Chun Yu's father and daughter, and the first seat on the left was an old man over sixty years old, named Tian Zikai, who was a famous Confucian scholar in Zhao State. Now he is also the grandmaster of Confucianism in Zhao State, and he has many younger disciples, and many of them are officials in the court, and his status in Zhao is extremely high, so he is allowed to sit on the left chief. Although Tian Xiaokai's beard and hair are a little gray, he is still in good spirits, his face is full of red light, and his father and daughter respect him very much, calling him a master.

And beside Tian Zijing was a young man of about thirty years old, his proud disciple, called Gongsun Long.

The other two on the right are about fifty, and the third person is called Song Rong, who is thin and thin, but his demeanor is natural, and he has a bit of a fairy wind and a bone temperament, and he is a Taoist scholar. And the fourth is the most special, with no crown on his head, only a cloth towel on his head, a linen dress and hemp shoes often worn by civilians, and there is no wine glass and wine jug on the table in front of him, only a bowl of water. It turned out that this person's name was Zhai Jin, and he was the younger brother of the Mo family.

For these two people, Chun Yu's father and daughter are also very respectful, and they are courteous for several weeks, but mainly Chun Yubo speaks, and Chun Yu Zhongxiu has no words. And Song Rong also returned the salute very politely, but Zhai Jin only nodded slightly, but the disciples of the Mo family have always advocated reducing etiquette, so it is not surprising that Chun Yu father and daughter are young.

The four people on the right have been introduced, and the left is of course introduced from Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong, after listening to Zhao Jia's price, Chun Yubo's eyes also let out the wind, and he arched his hand and said: "Doctor Gao, I have admired the name of Qin for a long time, and I can see it today, which is worthy of this trip to Zhao State." ”

Gao Yuan said: "Mr. is talking too much. ”

However, when Li Yinghong was introduced, Chun Yu Zhongxiu also owed a debt, and said: "I have heard of Miss Li's name for a long time, and when I see it today, it is Zhong Xiu's third life that I am lucky, and I will be close to Miss Li in the future." ”

Li Yinghong also said: "There, I have always been respectful to Miss Chunyu, but in fact, this time I came uninvited." I also welcome Mr. and Miss Chunyu to my house, and my father will be very happy. ”

Chun Yubo said with a smile: "I have always admired Wu Anjun in Xia, this time I came to Zhao State, it is rare that Wu Anjun is also in Handan, and it is inevitable to come to the door to ask for a while." ”

When the others heard this, they also regretted it greatly, why didn't they bring their wives or daughters, so that the women could come forward and invite Chunyu's father and daughter to their homes as guests. In fact, this kind of banquet usually brings female dependents to attend, but except for Gao Yuan, everyone else is no exception, and all of them do not bring female dependents, the reason is of course everyone knows, in front of the wife or daughter, how can it be good to show in front of the talented woman?

And the other two people on the left are named Shen Shen, the one who knocked the wine glass off just now, about the same age as Gongsun Long, and is the youngest two people except Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong, Zhao Jia introduced him as a descendant of Shen Buxian, a famous scholar of Legalism, and of course a scholar of Legalism.

The last one is called Zhong Lifu, about thirty-six or seventeen years old, and Zhao Jia introduced him as a soldier.

Although the Warring States Period is known as the era of a hundred schools of thought, there are actually only more than ten truly influential doctrines, and the others are all soy sauce. And this gathering, which gathered six schools of Confucianism, Law, Taoism, Mo, Bing, and Miscellaneous, can be regarded as influential doctrines. Therefore, it can be regarded as a feast of school exchanges. Of course, this kind of gathering also happened often in this era, where scholars from all walks of life gathered together to freely express their academic views, communicate with each other, and of course debate was indispensable, but compared with the later Han, Tang, Song and Ming dynasties, the academic atmosphere of this era was indeed very free. And Gao Yuan was also a little curious, looking at what they would argue about.

After everyone made a fuss, Tian Zikai spoke first: "I heard that Mr. Chunyu's father and daughter traveled to Qin State this time, I don't know what they have seen and heard about Qin State?" ”

Chun Yu Bo Man smiled slightly, and said: "In the past, Xun Xiao entered the Qin State, and there was a saying: 'Enter, look at its customs, its people are simple, its vocal music is not dirty, its clothes are not picky, and they are very afraid of having a division and obeying, and the ancient people are also. and the Duyi government, its hundred officials are solemn, all of them are frugal, respectful, faithful and unashamed, and the ancient officials are also. When he enters his country, he looks at the doctors, out of his door, into the public gate, out of the public gate, and returns to his family, and there is no private matter; It's not like Zhou, it's not a friend, it's not a friend either, it's not clear by chance, and it's a doctor in ancient times. Looking at its court, its court, listening to the decision of all things is not left, as calm as the anarched, the ancient dynasty also. Therefore, the fourth world has a victory, not luck, and a number of them. It's what you see, too. Therefore, it is said: Treat it without worrying, make a detailed appointment, and work without annoyance, and cure it to the end. Qin class. I was skeptical about this, but what I saw in Qin was roughly the same as Xun Xiao's, so I knew that what Xun Xiao said was not a lie. ”

After Chun Yubo finished speaking, Shen Shen's face was happy, while Tian Zijing and Gongsun Long both sank their faces.

The general meaning of this passage is: the people of Qin are simple and honest, the music is not despicable, the clothes are not light and charming, and the people are afraid of the officials and obey the management; Officials are strict and serious, humble and thrifty, loyal and trustworthy without being careless and sloppy; When the scholar went out of his house, he entered the public house, and when he went out of the public house, he returned to his own house, and had no private affairs. Do not collude with each other, do not form factions, be wise and honest and honest; The monarch was never left to deal with all kinds of political affairs, so he was at ease as if there was nothing to govern, a situation that only the ancient holy kings would have. Therefore, the victory of the four generations of the Qin State is not a fluke, but an inevitability. Therefore, it is said that oneself is comfortable but well governed, government decrees are concise but detailed, and political affairs are not complicated but effective, which is the highest state of government. The state of Qin is similar to this.
