Liu Xiahui, the married life of Qi Kingdom, seemed very happy. Although he was a little staggering when he came to see Bai Dong, his steps would frown when he moved a little faster, and it seemed to hurt. Bai Dong could see that the young master Yinqi was in a sunny mood. He indeed found the happiness in the pepper room.

As a wedding envoy, Bai Dong went to see Lao Qin on the day after the princess's "reconciliation of the house". This was a bit of comfort from the "mother's family" to marry a princess who was thousands of miles away. The madman was a madman. When he saw Bai Dong coming, the little princess immediately smiled and repelled the person and jumped into Bai Dong's arms. He whispered in his ear how "interesting" the young master Yinqi was. At first, they were worried about how to keep the chastity for you, but now they don't have to worry. Are you happy or not? Don't worry, that Liu Xiahui is happy. He likes his little handcuffs the most...

It is difficult for Bai Dong to answer this question. If you say happiness becomes a gloating villain, but you still feel a little bit of joy in your heart. Maybe this is a man? The monopoly of male animals is innate. Instead of pretending to be a righteous and despicable deceased, Bai Dong is more willing to touch his original heart.

Young Master Yinqi brought a lot of gifts, including the Coral of the South China Sea and the Pearl of the East China Sea. He was really grateful to the "Princess Xian" sent to him by Bai Dong. The wonder is that it is "not really true," and cannot be taken straight, or can be asked for it. Now he is obsessed with Ying Shu's little handcuffs and whip, which is easy to addictive.

"Bai Zi, in the morning, I came to visit today, first, to respond to Bai Zi's entrusted, and second, to thank him; in Qi has already set up a banquet in the 'Linhai Tower'. I also asked Bai Zi to move."

"As far as I ask? Is Xu Gonghui coming to Linhailou?"

There is a Xu Gong in Beicheng, Linzi. He is a famous handsome man in Qi State. Some people say that he is the most beautiful man in the world. Zou Ji, a famous minister of Qi State, is also a handsome man. He was very dissatisfied with others, so he asked his wife which one is more beautiful or Xu Gong? His wife said that you are still a good man, you are beautiful, and this is the result of asking for your beloved concubine. So Zou Ji felt happy. Later, he asked the guests at a banquet, but the guests said that Xu Gong was even more beautiful. Looking in the mirror, he found that he was indeed not as good as Xu Gong. Therefore, Xu Gong's beauty is recognized by the whole country. Zou Ji's wife was praised for love, and the concubine was praised for fear. Later, Zou Ji learned some truth from it and used it to advise King Wei of Qi, which became a historical story.

Bai Dong is not Zou Ji, nor Jing Jian, so naturally he would not think about comparing beauty with Mr. Xu. Besides, Mr. Xu did not rely on his niche to make a living. He is a famous business tycoon in Qi. He is known as the "Little Fan Li". He also likes to imitate Fan Li. It is said that he has many beautiful women and men in his family. He often roams the lake, chanting poems and playing piano and zithers, which is extremely romantic. His business is very large. It is said that he has controlled half of the salt and grain of Qi, and his influence even goes directly to Yan. It is useless to find the young master to find this handsome man.

"Haha, is Bai Zi really trying to make salt and grain? I heard that Wei Ying had obtained the method of refining fine salt from Bai Zi, so Wei State made a lot of refined salt, trying to take advantage of our Great Qi. My father and Yin Qi knew that it was inconvenient to ask about Bai Zi's method of making salt. But Qin State had such a method, how could they be afraid of no salt? As for grain, it may not have to be found in Xu Gong to solve it. In Qi also knew several giant merchants in Qi, which would definitely help Bai Zi."

Since Qi was born in the bridal chamber, his temperament seemed to have become much more open-minded. He actually joked with Bai Dong: "If Bai Zi admires Xu Gong's reputation and wants to meet him, because Qi can create opportunities for you, but it is hard to say whether he can meet him. He is rich and has a good reputation. He is the most disgusted with interacting with nobles and scholars. His temperament is very strange. Although Qi is his friend, he also interacts with the sound of the piano, and his love is as quiet as water. It is said that Shen Buhe is curious about his appearance and has gone to ask for a meeting, but was rejected..."

"In this way, he refused to come? It's really a big air?"

Bai Dong was really curious. Shen Buhe was also a representative figure of the Legalist School. He was to meet the princes of various countries and was sent by the nobles. Mr. Xu was just a businessman, but he would be turned away by him? But he didn't know that in this era, there were many countries, and the status of a multinational giant businessman like Mr. Xu was very transcendent. Just like Fan Li and Lu Buwei of later generations, he could bring the United States to the lake, and when he entered, he could go out to the generals and ministers, and he would control the fortune of a country. It would be fine if he didn't give Shen Buhe face.

"My friend is too weird. If Master Meng comes forward, he might be able to meet you. However, he never sees Qin. He thinks that Old Qin is a bitter and cold place, and does not follow etiquette, and his father and son's family are in the same room, just like Rong Di. He is a clean person who needs to change three sets of clothes a day and does not allow him to see any dust at home. How can he agree with you, Bai Zi, who is from Qin? It is better not to meet, so as not to be humiliated by him in vain."

"Haha, if I insist on meeting you, will the young master have a way?"

"There is a chance now. Fan Jin, the young owner of the Fan Family Trading Company, has always been incompatible with him. There are many competitions in the two companies in business. Moreover, Fan Jin and he love Cuju, and both have a 'Cuju team'. They are always enemies and the two families agreed to fight this afternoon. It happened that they were hosting Bai Zi at Linhailou today, and Yinqi also invited Fan Jin to accompany him."

"I'll thank you for your troublesome arrangements, I owe you a favor."

Bai Dong nodded slightly. The young master tried his best to find Fan in because Qi could not invite Mr. Xu. He said that he really wanted to help him, and he had to take on his favors.

"Bai Zi sends a marriage to a thousand miles away. If you talk about favors, it should be because Qi owes Bai Zi a big favor. Since that's the case, Bai Zi asks you."

***

In modern Linzi, there is no lake, and Taigong Lake was later dug by hand; however, in Linzi two thousand years ago, there was Jishui in the north and Zishui into the sea, and Zishui just passed around the city. Linzi city springs everywhere, and there was a natural lake called Jianggong Lake in the southeast. After the Tian family replaced Qi, this lake was renamed "Zihai" due to political reasons. Linhai Tower was built next to Zihai. The sea breeze blowing from Laizhou Bay accompanied the fresh breeze on the lake surface, forming a cool water with a slight smell of sea. Early autumn weather is particularly refreshing.

The young master was in the second floor room because of a determined banquet. In the early Warring States Period, Hu Feng Nanjian eliminated some aristocratic family banquets or extremely formal scenes. He rarely ate the tables and chairs. As white high tables and chairs gradually became popular all over the world. There were also food tables similar to round tables in the later generations in this private room in Linhai Building. Whether aristocrats or civilians, now they like to gather on a table to eat together, which is very friendly and conducive to social activities.

In addition to Bai Dong, the guests invited were Master Meng, Shen Dao, Shen Buwei and others.

Master Meng was not pedantic, and he was not tempted by such high tables that violated the ancient etiquette. After seeing Bai Dong, he hit the table and whispered: "Baizi, can you recognize this table? You are so good. The 'natural attribute' and 'social attribute' of a human nature caused the Confucian and Legal debate for several days, and almost started to take action, but you escaped, as if you didn't care about yourself and left after getting into trouble. Isn't it a gentleman to do it? I will definitely be punished for wine today!"

This master is very different from Confucius. He is a heroic and righteous person. When he doesn't talk about scriptures, he is like a noble and generous hero. When he praises others, he says that this is his righteousness. When he scolds others, he says that this is his righteousness. When he wants to drink someone, he still has good righteousness. Anyway, the truth is always on his side. It will be a very painful thing for anyone to be his opponent.

Seeing Shen Dao and Shen Buwei eager to try and seemed to be about to debate again, the young master was surprised by Qi and hurriedly said, "Mr. Meng, the two masters, today they are for Qi to invite Bai Zi, please don't argue? Bai Zi, this is Brother Fan Jin, the young master of the Fan Family Trading Company."

Although the Fan Family Trading Company was a businessman, because of Fan Li's reputation and outstanding contributions to the Qi economy, the Fan Family also had a title. Although he had a title but no position, he was a false name. Because of Qi, the young master was commensurate with the Fan Jin brothers.

Fan Jin is a young man in his early twenties. He has no need on his face and is handsome, but not particularly outstanding. Bai Dong nodded slightly to him, saying hello, but he felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. The young owner of the Fan Family Trading Company is not outstanding, and his forehead is even a little gray and dark. It should be caused by excessive wine and color. Even if he is not a playboy, he will definitely not be called a young talent. But he doesn't know why. Not only can he not feel disgusted, but he is a little close. This is really strange. Is this person destined to be with me?

"I have seen Bai Zi. I have long heard that Bai Zi is a brother of Qingxi. Papermaking has shocked the world and printing technology has attracted the attention of hundreds of families. Fan Jin admires it very much. I am destined to meet today. I wonder if Bai Zi has ever thought about cooperating with the Fan Family Trading Company. The Fan Family Trading Company will bring the world to the world, which will definitely make the Bai Family business go further!"

He is still a talented person, at least he will not miss any opportunity to make money; Bai Dong looked at Fan Jin with a smile. The reputation of the Fan Family Trading Company is no less than that of Xu Gong's Xu Family Trading Company. Unfortunately, the Fan Family's business is too complicated, no more than Xu Gong's specializing in salt and grain, and it is not the goal of his trip.

"Haha, I heard that Brother Fan and Mr. Xu have a Cuju match. Before this competition, is it because Brother Fan still has the heart to talk about business?"

"What, Bai Zi loves Cuju too?"

After meeting his classmates, Fan Jin was overjoyed, and changed his mind and started talking about Cuju.

Cuju was famous in the Tang and Song dynasties. As soon as the Water Margin was released, people all over the world remembered Gao Qiu, who relied on the Cuju technique to become generals and ministers. However, they did not know that this thing actually originated from the Warring States Period, especially in Linzi, Qi. Cuju was prosperous, and the nobles and great merchants often had one or two Cuju teams at home. Although there was no formal "league", it was a tool used by nobles and huge merchants to entertain and gambling.

The Cuju teams of Xujia Trading Company and Fanjia Trading Company are the two strongest. The two trading companies are competitors, and the Cuju team is also old enemies. Now that the autumn harvest is over and the Qi State is harvesting, many Cuju teams will choose to play at this time, which can be regarded as a celebration for Qi State and thank the Dragon Prince. Fan Jin and Xu Gong even made a bet, and there will be a 10,000-yuan gambling game in one game, which alarmed most of Linzi City.

What surprised Bai Dong was that even Master Meng, Shen Dao and Shen Buhe were interested in Cuju. It seems that it makes sense to think about it. Scholars in the pre-Qin period always paid great attention to physical exercise. They were not weak scholars who were powerless in later generations. The general environment of the hundreds of schools of thought made them develop a competitive spirit, and it was normal for them to like fierce confrontation.

Halfway through the wine, the young master wrote a 'Cuju Fu' in Qi Linxi. Except for Fan Jin, everyone was present. At that time, the three masters played the piano in Qi. After the work, they looked at Bai Dong. Meng Ke first smiled and said, "I have listened to the princess's "The Goddess of Luo River" from Yinqi. It's really better than the heavens! I heard what the princess said, the way of lyrics is to learn confession. I can't let you go. I wonder if Bai Zi has a new work today?"

After a long time, Bai Dong felt helpless. This is probably a common problem among literati in ancient and modern times. It would be fine if he had no literary name. Now that he has a literary name, once he attends such a literati gathering, he must show his skills. However, these people in front of him are all big experts, and if he doesn't copy it well, he will show his strength. Who should I copy this time?

"slow!"

Shen Buwei smiled slightly: "Since Bai Zi is a master of poetry and fu, this poem cannot be written casually. You must specify the topic before you can. After the banquet, we will go to the Cuju venue in the east of the city. Why not just ask Bai Zi to answer the scenery? How about the topic of Cuju?"

"Taking Cuju as the topic?"

Bai Dong glanced at Shen Buhe. This guy was too bad. Where did ancient verses praise Cuju? Moreover, in this era, I wrote a verse, ranging from a hundred words to a thousand words. Where can I deal with this liberal arts student who came from later generations? This is not difficult to be a humanistic student!

"Shen Zi's intention is in line with my intention." It would be fine if Shen Buwei is famous for being more meaner than Wei Yang, but Bai Dong never expected that Meng Ke and Shen Dao would nod.

That day, Shiliting debated, although his modern analysis method of the theory of human nature made both Confucianism and Legalism a little dissatisfied with the Confucianism and Legalism, he had to admire his meticulous thoughts and complete theory. His knowledge was very good, but he didn't know what his talent was. Although the study of Ci and Fu was a minor path, he could see a person's talent. Therefore, Meng Ke and others were taking the opportunity to take the exam for Bai Dong. If he could stump him, he would have a small sigh. Who made this kid's theory of human nature refute both Confucianism and Legalism?

"Do you have to do this by the three masters?"

"Yes, it must be done!"

"Okay... But Dong once studied Ci Fu with his mentor. He felt that the current Ci Fu is gorgeous and magnificent, and his posture is unrestrained, but it is also a burden and difficult to spread. Therefore, he devoted his studies for many years and created a new style called "Poetry". This style is shorter than a few sentences and twenty words, and only a hundred words are longer. Each character is concise and has rhythm. It is better to let the boy use the poetry style as a essay and make a poem "Cuju"?"

"A new style of poetry? Did you study it?"

The three great sects and the young master were stunned. How many literary sects are there in various schools of thought, but no one dared to boast about studying a new style of literature that is comparable to verses. Is this kid really a talented person or is he bullying others?

"Not bad! And Dong is confident, the three masters will be refreshed after hearing this."

Modern poetry has nothing to do with modern times. It was originally developed from ancient Cifu and Yuefu poetry. Many poets from the Tang and Song dynasties themselves were great poets. Therefore, Bai Dong was not worried that Meng Ke and others would not be able to accept it. On the contrary, the three great sects are all the best among literati. They only need to listen to them once and will like this new verse rhythm. (To be continued...)
