Chapter 409: Sweetheart
Seeing everyone's gaze, Baili Chuqiu smiled playfully and frankly with her silver teeth and said: "You Chuiyun is my good brother, his friends are my friends, and helping friends is what you should do."
You Chuiyun immediately felt that everyone was looking at him, which made him feel a little worried. What on earth was Miss Baili going to do? She had repeatedly teased him. Could it be that she really fell in love with a poor boy like him? It's not surprising that You Chuiyun speculated like this, after all, no one, especially a woman, had ever shown such an explicit expression of liking to him since he was a child.
However, You Chuiyun also used the strength of the wine to throw Baili Chuqiu into the sky: "Thank you, sister!"
Baili Chuqiu screamed all her life, but how could You Chuiyun let her fall to the ground? He caught her firmly and held her in his arms with one arm around her waist and the other around her shoulders.
Although Baili Chuqiu was quite courageous, she had never been in such a position with a man before. Her cheeks turned red with embarrassment, but before the ambiguity arose, she was thrown out by You Chuiyun again. , covering the tip of her skirt, at a loss.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Seeing Baili Chuqiu being thrown up so high by You Chuiyun, the eldest lady looked at a loss and scolded You Chuiyun to put her down. Everyone laughed happily. This night was really impressive.
——
The other end of Cunjin Peak.
The majestic demon princess Via Constantine - held her face like a little girl and sat blankly on the threshold. She could see clearly from this angle.
There are fireworks all over the mountain, and the smoke slowly catches up with the clouds, becoming the new clothes of the stars in the night sky.
There has never been such a lively celebration in the Demon Clan. Their customs have never included the idea of having fun with the people. The nobles live the lives of the nobles, and the common people live the lives of the common people. I have long heard that the human race has many traditional festivals. Especially the Spring Festival, when I saw it today, it was really a cultural atmosphere.
After watching it for a long time, there was a lot of excitement, but none of it belonged to her.
At this time, Jack brought out two cups of coffee. It was different from the coffee beans sold in Baili Chuqiu. To Wei Ya, Baili Chuqiu's coffee was inferior and not even worthy of being eaten.
"Your Highness..."
"What do you think is the difference between us demons?" Wei Ya suddenly asked, but she didn't seem to have any hope for Jack. After all, she asked Duke Ross, who was well-informed and well-read, but she didn't get a good answer. .
Duke Ross once said that it is a system problem. For example, the demon clan allows a large number of slaves, and the people at the bottom can only be squeezed and exploited. However, the imperial examination of the human race allows people at the bottom to have a way to be promoted. Only those from the bottom , can the bottom layer be changed.
Wei Ya thinks the Duke's words are very reasonable. Compared with Daxia, the national system of the demons is indeed still in the semi-slave era. However, Daxia fully respects human rights and encourages income from labor. It is not oppression and exploitation that drive the state machine. .
It's just that she doesn't feel that this is the reason why Daxia's national power is always higher than that of Demon Kingdom.
Of course, the reason for the land is also self-evidently top priority. Insightful people from the Demon Clan have carefully thought about why the Demon Clan has conquered the fertile land in the human race’s territory, but still cannot cultivate enough food. Clearly there is land...
"With all due respect, Your Highness, I think culture is very important."
Jack thought for a long time and held back this sentence. Unexpectedly, Wei Ya was not impatient or perfunctory at all. Instead, she held the coffee with interest and waited for him to continue to express his views.
Jack had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Highness knows that in fact, our demon culture also has many essences.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
For example, our painting skills, sculpture skills and other artistic tastes, I think are much more sophisticated than the human race..."
Wei Ya nodded: "In that case, why did you say it was culture just now?"
Jack gritted his teeth, hesitated, and then said: "But our self-righteous culture only serves those princes and nobles, powerful families and wealthy people.
Poor people cannot understand the principles in books, nor can they understand why they sing loudly in operas. "
Wei Ya's hand holding the coffee suddenly stood firm as she was wandering around: "It's a very interesting point of view, please continue."
"When art only serves the upper class, it is doomed...to completely separate the upper class and the lower class! It will cause social divisions, which will always lead to conflicts and disputes! When the upper class drives the lower class, the interests of the lower class will not be obtained. To guarantee, it will only make people lose their seriousness and passion for fighting like a machine. Because they don't know why the country on the picture refuses to give an inch, and they will not be driven forward by the high war songs.
Because they are just a bunch of numb sheep that eat wherever they are driven by their owners, and the sheep can only eat grass, not grow grass! The highest art they had ever heard was the barking of a sheepdog. "
Jack finished speaking slowly, and Wei Ya thought for a long time, and then laughed softly: "Yes, your thinking is very interesting. So please tell me, where is the tearing of class and it is not like this? We have walked all the way from Daxia, Why haven’t we seen those people who are being driven as cattle and sheep?”
Jack was speechless.
But Wei Ya took a sip of the coffee, looked forward with bright eyes, and asked and answered: "Because of culture, the human race first had a hundred schools of thought contending, and all kinds of fantastic ideas were amazing - the generation of the Daxia Dynasty, Confucianism When it comes to saints, there is also the saying that the family, the country, and the world are unified. Every scholar has the goal of cultivating his family, governing his country, and bringing peace to the world. They have a royal way of saying that they are considerate of the people, and some emperors dare to say that water can carry a boat. This is a wise saying to capsize a boat."
Wei Ya was slightly absent-minded: "This kind of culture is so terrible. It will always unite the country and make it difficult for the human race to be divided for thousands of years."
Jack was silent.
——
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people are supposed to come to pay New Year greetings. However, several young men are in trouble. There are only a few people left in Qingyun Sect. The people from Gaoshan have no place to go if they want to pay homage. However, everyone still encourages Senior Brother to go alone. Go to my father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings.
You Chuiyun thought for a moment, his teacher He Chuanbai has already entered the palace to be a saint, and his uncle Yun Qingxia has been missing all day long. Is it because he is afraid that I will borrow money? You can go to Enji Hall... So You Chuiyun set off immediately. But this time when he heard that You Chuiyun was going to Enji Hall, Baili Chuqiu also became interested and insisted that You Chuiyun take her with him. go.
You Chuiyun had no choice but to take Baili Chuqiu to Enji Hall...
Enji Hall is as tidy and clean as ever, with two big red lanterns hanging in front of the door, which can be regarded as celebrating the New Year. As the most miserable entrance to Nantianmen, it can be said that it has received a lot of looks from the superiors, but it is also deeply appreciated by the poor.
Therefore, there are many people who come to pay New Year's greetings, and there are also many people who come with New Year's goods, but most of these New Year's goods are wild vegetables. The best ones are wild ginseng, and the best ones are just a basket of eggs.
The poor people couldn't get anything valuable, so Chen Xiude waved his hand, and everyone in Enji Hall returned all the worthless local goods.
It's not that Chen Xiude looks down on these things, but he really deserves it - the couplet on the door of Enji Hall reads:
The Immortal Sect is rich and prosperous
Good weather and good luck to all people
Hengbiao: Helping the world and saving the people
But looking at Chen Xiude
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come on, his Enji Hall is declining day by day, and now he is almost unable to support his own people. How can he have the face to face the people with the word "Enji"?
When this hall first came to him, who among the poor people in the south didn't know that there was an Enji Hall in Nantianmen that responded to all requests?
After just a few decades, it has actually declined to this point.
If it hadn't been for the previous visit from You Chuiyun's uncle, who didn't know whether it was true or not, and the local government had allocated a sum of money, Chen Xiude would have been forced to lick his face and go to various wealthy places in Tianmen to beg for help.
Chen Feiyang was shouting outside, and Chen Xiude put down his book and limped out with his hands behind his back.
"When I heard the loud voice, I knew there was an important guest coming to the door." Chen Xiude laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect it, but it's the prosperous You Shaozong. Hey, he's here. What are you bringing?"
Although Chen Xiude did not accept things from the poor, he was willing to accept the New Year's goods brought by You Chuiyun.
Everyone was present in the hall. The new girl from last time was already familiar with her, and she seemed inseparable from Chen Feiyang, who was quite young. You Chuiyun was surprised at first, but then he didn't show it. I just sighed secretly in my heart for a long time, Uncle Chen also has someone who wants it.
However, when everyone caught a glimpse of the woman approaching behind their ears, almost everyone took a breath, and even the steady Chen Xiude exclaimed: "Chuiyun, is this...?"
Chen Feiyang was most surprised: "Oh, is this beautiful girl my sister-in-law?"
"Oh? Is he Chuiyun's sweetheart?"
Elder Chen suddenly showed a kind smile, very much like a parent looking at his child with satisfaction.
You Chuiyun quickly explained: "No, no, I'm just her bodyguard."
What made everyone in the hall even more envious was that the beautiful girl boldly stepped forward to hold You Chuiyun's hand and said generously: "I am the sister recognized by You Shaozong because Chuiyun saved me before. One life, so I treat him as my biological brother.”
"Is this really the case?" Chen Feiyang asked suspiciously.
Instead, Chen Xiude squinted his eyes, and naturally understood a little bit after watching the two men's actions.
"Oh, little You Chuiyun is here to greet Elder Chen and wish everyone a happy New Year!" Only then did You Chuiyun think of business and wish everyone a Happy New Year.
"Stop doing this, you brat. You're so old and you still ask me for lucky money!" Chen Feiyang shook his head.
"Uncle Chen, it's up to you."
Chen Feiyang laughed and said: "Call me brother! You shouted so old-fashioned..." In the end, Chen Feiyang actually took the initiative to pay a few pennies, which was very meaningful.
In front of Chen Xiude, You Chuiyun was still respectful: "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Chen."
"If it's not hard work, how can the world-famous You Shaozong be so hard? The Shaozong is already the leader of Nantianmen and has great authority. A bad old man like me can't bear the courtesy of the Shaozong."
Chen Xiude said.
You Chuiyun became more and more polite and bowed: "Without the elder, You Chuiyun would not be where he is today! Chuiyun will never forget it in his life."
Chen Xiude took the initiative to help You Chuiyun up: "A real man..."
You Chuiyun immediately replied: "You should take the world as your responsibility."
Chen Xiude then stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then looked at Baili Chuqiu.
"I wonder which family this little girl is from?" He couldn't help but be a little curious. Someone who is so elegant and pretty must be a child of a wealthy family - the brat You Chuiyun actually has this kind of thing. Out of business.
While feeling pleased, Chen Xiude was a little curious.
